That you're seeking pattern-matching antecedents belies the fact that no supposed "foreshadowing" ever occurred; if you're looking for vague, post-hoc matches you will find them. ... this is my signature! |

In other words, you make up your own bullshit Gawd however you want it to be.

Your fantasies =/= reality. hth moron. Quote:And there is love and peace everywhere, in in every moment be it banal, terrifying or profound. It's there, ready to be experienced.

Like when you're told to listen for specified words when playing a soundtrack backwards. There are many examples where ancient writings are treated this way, and erroneously held as the foreshadow of science. We could make the Buddha example a reference to ice cream, with lots of sprinkles, just as easily. |
