Apologies

Whoa! What powerful emotional reactions these demons Serve and Be Free have aroused. Perhaps because I was weaned on Konx Om Pax and The Book of Lies, it comes more naturally to see them as two sides of the same coin, or to say "Let these two asses be set to grind corn!"
A wise and foolish man wrote, "... a consistent equilibrium of all imaginable opposites will suggest to us a world in which they are truly one; whence to that world itself is but the shortest step." Let's take that step!
On a practical level, I think "Obey my prophet" should be understood in context of "he shall learn and teach." Anyway, AC is no longer around to bark orders, so even if I were so addled as to want to be his abject slave, I couldn't. But he left an invaluable legacy, a wealth of instructions to follow, and I think if you want to be free and to do your will, there are no better text books.
