DEEP MEANING
—“Eating the fruit of the tree of “good and evil”, a dichotomy, resulted in the fall of man… Perhaps the fall of man isn’t so much due to acquisition of knowledge but rather shifting the foundation of knowledge from spectra to dichotomy.”— Bill Joslin
“WOTAN IS TO HELP THE MATURING MAN ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE DETAILS AND NUANCE WITHIN THE MYRIAD OF DEGREES FOUND WITHIN THE SPECTRUM BETWEEN THOSE LIMITS.”
—“One of the beauties of operational thought is to exhume oneself from arguments of dichotomies to identifying spectra (the range of possibilities within limits).
Eating the fruit of the tree of “good and evil”, a dichotomy, resulted in the fall of man… Perhaps the fall of man isn’t so much due to acquisition of knowledge but rather shifting the foundation of knowledge from spectra to dichotomy.
There isn’t a good Wotan and an evil Wotan – there is only Wotan whose range of action and experience occurs within a spectra…. Like the rest of us – able to be ultimate asses and wise old silver backs with in one life, body and personality….
And that’s kind of the point. Dichotomies of perfectly good and perfectly bad are only useful to teach children about the tails of a spectrum… To distinguish the tails.
Wotan is to help the maturing man about identifying the details and nuance within the myriad of degrees found within those limits.” —- Bill Joslin
