Update:Thanks very much to Alle Basi for taking time away from the research at the Egyptian Museum where the research continues on the Nosirrah link to Padiamun-Nenesuttawy (and therefore to Bishbish, of course) and though busy Alle Basi contributed a great deal of research on these references. We depend on people like you to help unravel the multilayerd meaning of these works.

Nothing from Nothing: a novella for none

Nothing from Nothing: song by Billy Preston which went to #1 in 1974, considered the 5th Beatle, there is no direct evidence that Nosirrah was friends with Preston however the reference to the song suggests a dating of Nosirrah's book to around the mid-1970's. The original edition of the book had no date on the copyright page.

Nothing from Nothing has multiple references to and images of dogs including: The Fool with dog, the muse with “newly acquired attack dog”, Diogenes living like a dog, Edward's future non-dog who becomes “indolent and incontinent”,Nosirrah biting German Shepherd, Nosirrah being able to tell dog from dog but not face from face. In the Introduction to the novella, childhood friend and long-time associate Nebirk Yallip mentions feces-eating dogs as part of Nosirrah's Tantric training, but goes further by explaining that Nosirrah suffers from Cynophobia yet another serious psychiatric syndrome that serves to deepen Nosirrah's realization of "the non-existence of a personal self in an intelligent and energetic non-dual universe." (from the Introduction by Nebirk Yallip)

"This was the zero of kha" from the Nosirrah text, in the Upanishads or the early Buddhist tantras kha is associated with the element space, and symbolizes the emptiness and vastness of primordial consciousness. Kha occurs in the mantra of Mahavairocana

****************************************************************************

Nosirrah believed that he once lived in earlier times as Diogenes the Cynic, an ancient Greek philosopher, lived in a barrel like a dog. And like a dog, it was reported that he would defecate anywhere he wanted to, masturbate in the public market and urinate at those who insulted him. He believed that men are like dogs--that all public norms, conventions and property are but inventions that have no relation to the real inclinations of men.

Legend has it that one day Alexander the Great saw Diogenes in his barrel and offered that he would grant any wish the dog had. Diogenes then gave his wish: he asked Alexander to step out his light.

Meister Eckhart interprets this encounter as:

That is why the man who sat naked in the barrel said to the great Alexander, who had all the world subject to him: "I am a far greater lord that you, for I have despised more than you have possessed. All the things that you thought so great that you wanted them were too little for me to dispose."

In short, the Conqueror of the known world could not conquer the dog's barrel.

**********************************************************************

Diogenes (aka Diogenes of Sinope )was the student of Antisthenes known in antiquity as an accomplished orator, a companion of Socrates, and a philosopher, Antisthenes presently gains renown from his status as either a founder or a forerunner of Cynicism . It is obvious that at least in the inscrutable mind of Nosirrah, he owes a great deal of his direct and uninhibited nature to his experiences as a student of this remarkable Greek philosopher.

God is an Atheist: a novella for those who have run out of time Sentient Publications

In GIAA Nosirrah uses numerous brain disorder terms, suggesting little difference between these disorders and the common attributes of enlightenment. Nosirrah claims to suffer from most of them, including:

Confabulation is a memory disorder defined as the spontaneous production of false memories: either memories for events which never occurred, or memories of actual events which are displaced in space or time. These memories may be elaborate and detailed. Some may be obviously bizarre, as a memory of a ride in an alien spaceship; others are quite mundane, as a memory of having eggs for breakfast, so that only a close family member can confirm that the memory is in fact false.

Capgras delusion, when people believe their closest friends and family have been replaced with imposters. Note that in Nosirrah's book "Nothing from Nothing" he refers to Prosopagnosia which is thought to be the reverse of Capgras Delusion. Prosopagnosiais a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be intact. Nosirrah implies that he is diagnosed with Capgras while being studied at Harvard while he self-diagnoses himself with Prosopagnosia in his earlier work ( but is unsure if it is he who has the condition since he cannot recognize his own face). This leads to the possibility that he does not recognize faces and in addition believes that those around him are imposters, adding up to a highly unusual state of consciousness.

Delusional misidentification: an umbrella term for a group of disorders that involve a belief that the identity of a person, object or place has somehow changed or has been altered.

Syndrome of delusional companions is the belief that objects (such as soft toys) are sentient beings

Intermetamorphosis is the belief that people in the environment swap identities with each other whilst maintaining the same appearance.

Clonal pluralization where a person believes there are multiple copies of him or herself, identical both physically and psychologically

" Peace In Our World "

why can't there be
peace in our world
I hold out hope
deep down in my soul
why focus on hatred
when it only brings pain to us all
can't we forgive and move on
before we freefall
why do we fight fire with fire
if it only creates infernos
can't we find other ways
and stop struggling with our foes
why can't there …..
