How weird must it be to follow a cult that's already "ascended" and you'll never get an opportunity to ride Hale-Bopp.

Kind of like a weird Jewish cult 2000 years ago following some crucified malcontent (who came back to life and floated up into a cloud? puhleeze). Some of those individuals had to go through a number of incarnations before connecting with Do.

Those are just little monikers for those individuals, like Alpha and Omega. Everyone needs a name by which they are called. If you are just going to make fun however I will be moving along. There's an interesting element of the story where Do and the class started posting online and they received lots of abuse - that was one of the signs to start wrapping up the mission.

I'm legit curious what you think about Do and Ti's suicide, along with all the other folks at the mansion. Were they doing the right thing? Do you think there was something hiding in the wake of the Hale-Bopp comet?

I'm not asking out of malice or poking fun, I've just never had the chance to engage with someone who accepts those particular religious/philosophical tenets.

Ti left her (Do used male pronouns but maybe 'xir' is most accurate) vehicle in 1985, which was a trial for Do and the class. The 'right thing' is a matter of individual judgement, Do was an instructor who one had to recognize and follow. Rio was one class member who stayed behind to 'break the news' as leaving didn't seem right for him. Sawyer was a prominent student who returned to the human world, but 9/11 reminded him of the bigger picture. Hale-bopp having a companion or being a spacecraft was irrelevant - its signficance was when it showed up and how visible it was.

If he's a gimmick, he understands enough about new age UFO religions to convincingly fake it. I'm starting to come around to the idea that he's not a gimmick, and that he's just someone who's done way, way more hallucinogens than he should and found "God" as a result. I don't put the scare quotes around "God" to suggest that his beliefs are insincere, but to emphasize that he didn't find the Judeo-Christian God, as that phrase might otherwise imply.

If he is a gimmick, then kudos to the man behind the mask. It's quite convincing. However, if he is a gimmick, I would question what his goal is, as he seems to have spent more time understanding his act than anyone else expends dealing with it. I think it'd probably fall more into performance art at that point.

Speaking as a member of a UFO death cult myself, and an enthusiast of UFO Death Cult discussion, can we get back to Alex Jones and that sort of lookers and save the Space Bros Sci-fi Gnosticism discussion for another thread?

Oh I know, that is part of what makes this something sent from God - the one who pays the piper picks the tune. Those conspiracy theories were probably spawned by people who encountered Next Level information and recoiled from it, which is understandable.

Reading your post i misread "piper picks the tune" as "pickle prunes in urine" and its obviously unlikely to be just a coiniancidence
