Night Gallery : Lost Episodes : The Rat Brooch : 9 : 10


There was this one episode where a lady bought this rat brooch at an antique gallery. It was a 'lively' piece, and upon attaching it to her garment she noticed a slight pinch and assumed she'd poked herself. On her walk home she felt another pinch, and then another, and another, and on this dimly moonlit evening a bloodstained silhouette had begun to appear around this newly acquired brooch she was wearing.

She tore off the brooch and threw it aside; continued walking faster and faster as to be somewhat unnerved and a bit confused by all of this while at the same time accompanied by a gathering of a slight sound of nearby rustling and a pitter patter of scampering which continued to unnerve her even more and more.

The sounds grew with each of her steps as an ominous mood had begun to dominate and overtake her. Her fast pace progressing to a slight run as her heart began beating faster and faster. Something so unnaturally surreal manifesting in such a short time to nearly wrap her head around it compounded with this immense fear of some unknown thing that was happening to the point that she was now completely panicked and running.

Screams and then silence.

This makes perfecct sense to me. What's happening in music composition is, imo, magical.

I've chosen Kabbalah as my topic and title because it's at the core of many things that I write even though I do not explicitly refer to it as such.

Agreed. While I'm not a writer, Kabbalah is an inclusive versatile framework. I use it in almost everything I do. But not explicitly and not outloud.

Anyway, I just stumbled on this forum and this thread. I look forward to reading what you've brought. Thank you for taking the time to compile this here.

Sincerely,

I believe it was maybe around the late 90s when I began writing on the philosophy forums and chatting with a handful of knowledgeable users in the AOL metaphysics/spiritual insights rooms. It was at some point prior 2015 Crowley made a reference to the sefirot which was totally alien to me at the time.

And then around post-2015 I began combining/associating the music with the writing. Tried various categories of internet forums but it's always eventually some issue or another with them.

This place is an out-of-way niche with few writers that people might inadvertently "stumble" across, but the freedom of speech/expression fits for what I currently like doing so here I am, again.

From the other thread on the Tree of Life:

Lacking any beginnings and lacking any endings means there is no longer a plurality of moments. There is only one endless, limitless, moment. Time is no longer flowing. All events are concurrent. Everything and nothing is "now".

Reason is not a bridge to all truth

agreed... it's not a bridge, it's a portal. technically an archway. there's so many wonderful teachings in this simple idea. the arch. the masons knew it. even lifting up the very first header over the very first doorway had profound impact. as it is below... so it is above.

Instead of thinking in terms of all these 'things' and all the infinite 'clutter'. We instead let Occams' Razor select which paradox is the correct one in conjunction with one simple question: is there a reason why anything should exist at all? And the answer is no, but things do exist, and we know this.

The key here is in visualizing, 'non-visualizing', or at least contemplating an existence that is void of space and time.

This is a very magical non-existence where laws and rules do not even exist. There are no borders or boundaries, and something is going to happen...

What is going to happen?
