peacegirl, for the better part of a decade, a select few of us, the Initiates, have — in a private, by-invitation-only forum right here at
— been conducting extensive hermeneutics and exegeses of the Authentic Text. Reminiscent of the Mithraic Mysteries, the Freemasons, and the Rosicrucians, to cite but a few examples, we go by various names — the Lessani, the Lessanics, the Lessanic Messianics, or, as I prefer for its pleasing fricative and sibilant simplicity, The Secret Society of Seymourians, oft rendered more parsimoniously as, The Seymourians. We have plumbed the text to astonishing depths, peeling back layer after layer of hidden meanings, like nested Russian dolls, and at this point it seems that, like the turtles of myth, it’s dolls all the way down, with no Final Truth to be had but rather an endlessly fecundating succession of New Truths and their offspring. The search for the Omphalos, the Source Truth, seems but a fool’s errand, but we keep digging.
We regret to inform you that we are unable to invite you to join The Seymourians at the current time. However, we would be happy to answer any simple questions about the text you might have, and leave you to try to work out the elusive yet allusive true nature of our answers. First, though, it might be best if you could answer a simple question that we have for you: what is The Discovery? We’ll see how you reply, and go from there.
