Please reread my post and understand that I am questioning the WHY of the inconsistancies.

Is it just me?
Are you talking about sleeper....or Jesus?

This sort of contradicts the Bible. I know Sleeper is a Biblical scholar, having written a book about Biblical stories, so he should probably know?
Does Milton say Jesus is a liar? Because the Bible says Jesus cast out thousands of these evil 'entities' out of one single man alone.

So how many evil 'entities' can possess a 'container'?
This quote is from Mark 5:
Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"
"My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them." He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

No one can cheat or nap their way up the ladder of illumination. Nevertheless, many will not know or understand their level of enlightened while under the cloak of illusion here on earth---why we do the things we do determines our level of understanding---and that can only be done in a blind test ---
This post right here contradicts your entire STORY so far!
Why why WHY would Milton show himself to you if this world is a proving ground for our level of enlightenment? Why then would he allow you to both keep these memories and POST THEM ON A PUBLIC FORUM?!
The idea that we know their intentions now makes our 'blind test' invalid and we will have to start over without that knowledge!
No one can cheat or nap up the ladder? What in the world do you call having Milton over your shoulder?? A tutor?
This is making even LESS sense now..

The answers to all the mysteries in the universe are in plain sight of everyone---but so few take the time to look

Most like you will still not get it, I can draw a picture, even take a photo, perhaps get you a ride in the mystery ship, all you would do is soil your pants and think you had a nightmare---even if it could have been the best time of your life---its so strange most humans can’t take that much enlightenment in big chunks.
Look how much resistance I get from spoon feeding it here---most spit it right out---lol

Before we take tests at school doesn’t the teacher give us all the answers or many of them?---only those paying attention will remember them at test time.

Yes. BEFORE the test. Not during. The idea that Milton is interfering with your test, and by you posting it OUR tests, seems counterproductive to the entire process.

You do have a purpose and that purpose is to keep as many people in the Dark Ages as possible---and that is a legitimate purpose---there are millions of people in this world with the same job as you have because a lot of people are not ready and they need sheep dogs like you to keep them from straying away from the flock.

Sleeper you didn't answer me fully. What happens if somebody never makes it out of here? Is it possible to get placed in the loop forever is what I'm saying.
2. Is it (don't laugh) possible to become a goddess of darkness like in the movies? Like in star wars the sith lords becoming stronger the more they let thedarkside take over them.
3. Other then video games is there really anything worth living for? People suck, work sucks, sports is very boring, Males are dull, other females annoy me, my school life sucked, don't like love, and so on.
4. Is there a way I can plug myself deeper in the game world. Like legal drugs that will keep me zoned out while playing.

That, I think, is the motivation behind this thread. The 'kick' that is derived from having some perceived 'wisdom' or 'power', and being able to dole it out to the masses, who are cast as children being fed the 'truth'.
