I’ve been writing this blog for the last 2 years and 7 days. Over that time, have I entertained you? Yes I have. Have I made you laugh, and have I brightened up your tedious little lives? Yes, yes and thrice yes. Have I educated you? Yes, of course. But sadly, I’ve not educated you as much as I would have liked to.
One of my main missions in writing ‘The World of Sherby57′ was to enlighten the general public to the true nature of reality. Yes, it may seem something of a lofty goal, but then, that’s the kind of guy I am. I have literally centuries of experience in this kind of thing, and it would be wrong not to pass on what I have learned.
Now, for the last 738 days, I’ve been trying to be subtle about it. Every post I’ve made on here contains vital information on how to lead your life, and how to understand how the universe works. It’s just that the information has been somewhat hidden. Frustrated by how slow my dissemination of data is taking, I’ve decided to launch ‘The Sherby57 Project’.
The Sherby57 Project is my attempt to go back and explain some of the key points from my past posts. I hope you’ll stay with me, and together, maybe we can make the world a better place.
They say that there’s no time like the present, and while this isn’t wholly correct, you do have to admire the sentiment. So here is my first lesson:
Hello EvryBuddy was the first post ever made on The World Of Sherby57, way back on the 31st May 2007. On first appearances, it is fairly unremarkable. In fact it simply states:
Hi
This is my new blog with my own domain name. Yes I really have nothing better to do with my time.
Looks simple, right? Wrong. There’s actually more going on here than you would first imagine.
Firstly, look at the title. Compare the formal ‘hello’ with the informal ‘hi’ contained within the message body. Could these two conflicting modes of address be telling us something? Is the post trying to communicate with two different types of people; or even two different planes of reality?
Next, make a note of the spelling ‘EvryBuddy’. On a simple reading, it is just a corruption of ‘everybody’ – which in itself highlights that its themes are universal. On a closer inspection, the ‘Buddy’ portion of the word implies friendship, which tied with the ‘everybody’ motif suggests a global brotherhood. Also the incorrect spelling of ‘everybody’ helps reinforce ideas of free-thinking and challenging orthodoxy.
Let’s take a look at the line: ‘This is my new blog with my own domain name’. It looks like a fairly straightforward statement of fact. Yet, there is another layer to be peeled here. By stating that it is MY domain name, I am challenging the reader directly to refute this fact. Simply by reading the post, the casual viewer becomes complicit in the creation of the blog. The statement could read, ‘This is OUR new blog, with OUR own domain name’. The use of the word domain also has a double meaning here, both as an internet address, and in relation to the metaphysical sphere in which our current perceptions are tuned in to.
Finally, there is the line: ‘Yes I really have nothing better to do with my time.’ On one level, this is a self-deprecating comment on the futility of blogging. It is also a very literal statement: I have nothing better to do with my time than to educate the world.
Before I finish this opening contribution to TS57P, I should point out the comment I made on the 10th August 2007 on this very post:
I feel so sorry for this Post. It’s so sad and pathetic. Please be its friend.
This was an early attempt to stir deeper thought within my audience. The reason that I felt sorry for the post is that its true purpose had not yet been discovered. It isn’t sad and pathetic, I was being incredibly ironic. And the final plea for you to be its friend was for your benefit, not for the post’s.
This seems to be a good place to end for now. Until next time, keep thinking and keep dreaming.
a herioc plea to incite a closer inspection of the ‘collective consciousness’. We are all part of the creator. We create our universes. We should aim for the greatest and highest good. We have the power and should resist our all to familair and well worn slip into neo liberal apathy.
Dr Angel,
I am moved by your support in this matter. It is a matter of urgency that the world’s population opens its eyes, and sees the wondrousness of the multiverse.
That said, I didn’t understand a word of your comment….but maybe that’s the point. And actually, maybe I understood it better than you think, thought, or will ever think. On an instinctual level, I have absorbed your concepts, and they’ve already become part of the meta-Sherby.
Ta.
that is because I misspelt most of it and punctuated it poorly. It should have read:
‘London Boys: requiem. Backflips. No tops on.’
