Theos-Talk Archives (February 2008 Message tt00266)

Well intellect is only usefull for the grocery...I
prefer Intuition, it tells me of my own personal God
:-) and the Ones with other people. Maybe I should
start a new religion: Personalism or Maskism? The
religion of Masks, since we are faced with
personalities all the time, why not start a religion
about them?
Then we have only one rule, to promote brotherhood of
the Masks. Once a year we remember the old Masks on
Februari 17th. Of course I am inspired by the Maskers
or as you wish the Mahamasks. And as an example we
take Gautamask to be the holiest Mask ever.
Of course we need to find a (preferrably) young boy,
who needs overshadowing by Lord Maskerada. Jiddu
Krishnamaski could do for this purpose?
