So I've discovered a fohat/Logos that reveals itself in the form of an associative Fortean logic matrix connected to symbolic archetypes found within the state of Ohio.

This pattern is fractal in nature, in that it is internally coherent, and self aware, in that the self-referential pattern matrix it creates forms a cohesive narrative that seems to substantiate its existence via logical syntax made…

I've written this post in my blog to know more about Rudolf Steiner and share it.

“Individuals who are greatly attracted by other individuals and who sometimes follow them around may be called ‘groupies’; individuals who are greatly attracted by Spiritual teachings merely because of the number of followers they have or have had may be called ‘groupies of groupies.’”—General Theosophy

“With an immediate, absolute certainty about the doctrine of reincarnation, regular practice of meditation, and constant improvement in Self-awareness, one may perhaps be reborn with the Theosophical advancement of not so immediately and absolutely being certain about anything, including reincarnation.”—General Theosophy
