From: "Jumping Spider" <spiderjumping> To: <spiderjumping> Subject: Kallomar Ridditum's Instruction (2) Date: 11 October 2007 CMProtocol@@JStart: Ready VJRUBCJAC<< ORUNUXJM<< "Dear student, you need hardly remind me of the musty old tales that serve as the foundation of our [culture]." "Then, my former teacher, you must admit that a study of divination is a worthwhile pursuit." "This trap you missed, my unclever student; One does not obsess over a foundation for the lifetime of a house. One builds upon it and fulfills its potential." "A foundation could be said to be the part of a house used most often. Every moment of every day it works to hold up the structure above. Such is the role of divination in our [society]." "Since you appear to be hung up on this subject, my student, let us address it. How is divination used to guide one's life?" "When one has a difficult decision, divination can provide a course of action." "If one takes a divined course of action, who is to be commended if it turns out an ethical course, and who is to be vilified if it is not?" "There are theories about the source of information, but none have yet been proven." "What reasons does an individual have to undertake a divined course of action?" "The fact that divination has revealed it to be a favorable course of action." "My student, if there is no reason, no reward and no risk, why should anyone choose to allow divination to guide their life?" "Divination is not consulted for simple decisions. Truly, my teacher, the strength of divination is that it may illuminate a path that was dark and previously unregarded." "Truly, my student, one cannot simply Tank Cat into Mordor." ANJMNAAXA>> CMProtocolError@@@@@@t: Datacross LXWCRWDRWP<< "Truly, my student, one cannot simply travel a path thoughtlessly, like an [automaton], like [errmythrefnotfound:bestfits:Sisyphus/Psyche]." "Contrarily, my former teacher, the process of divination requires thought. A [person] cannot be kept from thinking except through the vilest excesses of tyranny. When presented with a divined course of action, the divinee cannot help but to consider it. They must think about what it may mean and why it was offered. Their minds are activated and shown connections they had heretofore missed." "And here we come to a contradiction, my student. A foundation, while admittedly used every day, is not thought of or considered with any great frequency. You had begun your speech by praising the virtues of divination and its ability to replace thought, but now you say that it in fact encourages and even requires thought."
