another way to look at the Meier thing is in regard to personal evolutionary change in the context of the mystery school play or gnostic revelation. For all of you out there who have undergone any personal spiritual change or progeressed along lifes path will be famiiar with initiatory encounter. For judaeo/christian freinds out there and Kaballaistic Mystics it is represented by the 0 card or "The fool". In other religions this character is described as Promoetheus, Tiki, Coyote and can be a person act or meme, a thing or a place or "art" itself. The common element here is that its goal is to shatter paradigms and help with the personal unlearning process which is the first step to gaining true spiritual insight and to "empty the cup " in order to refill it. It seems that as a collective culture (wether we like it or not) certain pheneomena become apparent(wether it is spiritual, mystic, scientific, alien or a plain lie), as if nature creates an act that helps us to break the shackles of which bind us to a particular false paradigm in order for us to progress and get rid of false beliefs and things which are holding us back or spiritualy tieing us to the material realm. in this regard we can always get something good or "useful" from an act which makes us question our reality.

in this case the meier thing is a tool of help to certain people who need that particular aspect of the paradigm shatteredand cab get past this. for others it may take the form of a personal encounter with a "ufo" or it could be something more mundane or pedestrian but may not be the Meir case as it not as sophisticated for some. Whether spirtual journey or otherwise, we have all been rocked in one way or another by some kind of "revealation". It is not incoceivable that this may be played out to groups, communities, culltures and nations and wheter it is natural or premeditated creation of man's doing, the result is the same. We must keep a certain element of our true faculty and wits about us when encountering anything on any level or plain of existance, as to give our all to someone is to lose everything to nothing, we must have an element of removed observance about us. This seems contradictory but what in effcet you are doing is making the "paradigm breaker" greater, more ecstatic, more sfx, more useful. like the high school prom mom says to her daughter; dont give yourself over to easily!

One of the lessons here to learn is thus;

When a stage magician saws a lady in half, we are aware that something is to be learnt or expected as it set on a stage. Our disbelief is momentarily suspended , we are amazed, some people shocked.(when this trick was first performed , women fainted and men stormed the stage to arrest the magician. Now are we going to praise the magician as a living god and create a religion around him? are we going to write this off as a childish game a momentary distraction? Are we going to be amazed and delighted by the spectacle (if it is done well) or throw fruit at the act(if it is badly done)?

are you the type of person that wants to know how the trick is done?
Is the real trick not the sawing in half but getting you to use your imagination?
