Re: Michael Ende's 'Momo' - an allegory for Laura & the C's?
Thanks, Zadius Sky, for these observations...
Just to add two more things that fascinated me: (Spoiler!) When Momo is with Prof. Hora and he shows her the "hour flowers", this all made me think of Gurdjieffs "rays of creation". So Hora would be symbolic for the level where the soul energy is distributed to us (he says he doesn't create the energy, he just administers it) but it is up to the humans how to use their time/soul energy. Interesting also that according to Hora the humans themselves created the men in grey and give them their power (the fall?).
I found the development of Gigi also fascinating, how money and success can so easily corrupt even the finest people. The Men in grey say this is the most easy thing to do... How true for this world...
This book is really a beauty...
What a great quote, I haven't read that book yet, seems very interesting... It is probably fair to say that one of the major manipulation/control techniques in our world is to deprive us of our time.
The cigars may be merely a symbol for the process of "eating time/soul energy" which cannot be understood in 3D-terms, osit. Plus, cigars are a symbol for "big business / big politics", for the ruling elite, and according to the book our modern civilization is created by the men in grey. How true...

page 33 Vegetarian Myth said:And then there's the endless effort. The average hunter-gatherer works seventeen hours a week, which leaves plenty of time for creative endeavors, spiritual concerns, gossiping, and the all-important nap. Agriculturalists work from dawn to dusk and then some, and even in modern America, which all our hallowed technology, the average US citizen works over forty hours a week, which doesn't even include life maintenance tasks...like cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing. Beastly indeed. Why did humans do it?

Zadius Sky said:At first, in the process of reading, I was wondering why would they be smoking cigars (to which 4D STS are against), then I realized that cigars smoking are similar to time-consuming ("burning time") - plus, cigars were made from the dried petals of lilies, which represent time, not tobacco.
