ADDITIONAL NOTES Nathan is a miserable schizophrenic who has lost some hair. He has also authored articles on the subject of immortality. What are the signs of something profound beneath the surface? What, in other words, is Nathan Coppedge's claim to being a god? The simplest claim is Nathan's idea that he was Pippin of William Tell fame. In Jewish Theology, 'pippin' may be a divine name, because God is the first dimension of reality. He believes Pippin died in 1515, 101 years before Harvard was founded (although most claim the university was founded in 1635, or 120 years, I remember an earlier date from my youth). He also believes that Pippin lived three years in three days, recommending a trinity symbol. Nathan remembers taking the name Aston-I-Shed (Astonishment) or Astoum, after being sunburned as a white slave in Egypt. Could this boy-phoenix be the basis for the surviving Egyptian legend of the creator-god A-Tum? In a subsequent life, Nathan remembers marrying a female thief and taking the name Pharisee the Fakir, possibly leading to the foundation of the Persian (Pharisean) Empire, known for magic and learning. It is perhaps only through that one relationship that Nathan claims to be a father figure. The founding of Persia explains much of the Arabian Nights, alchemy, and some symbols of the Cabbalah. In another life Nathan thinks he spoke only one name, Gilgamesh, and that he may have crafted this word himself, as a ward of survival---although he was not the hero who went by that name, perhaps in some ways Nathan is the most Gilgameshean person for thinking of the name in the first place. That explains the confusion (and strange absence of knowledge) about Gilgamesh legends. In the present life, to his knowledge Nathan has been the first to successfully publish a book titled Poems by God (actually, it's avant-garde, appropriately enough). The KGB (now the British KGB---real story, but who else would you believe) of all people have been the first to compare Nathan with family gods such as Newton and Einstein. Adding to the name Pippin, additional recent events have reinforced the nominal claim: The Divine That Would Be Cool: Incident of the Water-Tower The Divine That's One of the Only Ways to Put It: Proof of Possibility for Perpetual Motion (see Dgm). Also, someone may think that I'm God in this video by a hobbyist (skip to the middle). Perhaps influenced by the title of my book, and the name of one of my devices---God's Rolling Pin (I'm one of the only hobbyists who seems to have a seesaw type apparatus, which the other hobbyist refers to as God's seesaw. I have not called it by that name. Nor do I have a patent, so I assume he means that someone besides myself has been using my design, under the view that it's a gift from God. Which is okay by me. I want it built). However, I have not claimed that I'm God in any defined sense (sometimes schizophrenia seems like the most divine thing about me), and some would say neither has God. People should appreciate that if I took the role of God one of my goals might be to justify Atheism, in order to promote creativity. Recently, Nathan may also have been the first to demonstrate a simple over-unity device. Nathan's successful over-unity experiment can be viewed at: Academic Room (which sounds like Ashtoum).

interesting facts about Nathan Coppedge BACK TO RED LETTER DAYS Once, when I was a child with some relatives, I had to jump out of a car that was going to sink in the ocean. Sometimes I think it's the same car that appeared on the cover of Jean Baudrillard's 'Paroxysm'. I was once quasi-abducted by Seth Rogen to be filmed riding a motorcycle. This was completely uncharacteristic of me, if you know my life. I have nearly fallen through an elevator shaft: twice. Once I was nearly crushed underneath an elevator.

For most of my life, I have only spoken one language. My younger brother has 'half-heartedly' tried to kill me three or four times.

In a past life, I believe I was given lessons in Aristotle by a scholastic. My favorite color is black. I have a fantasy of joining the Illuminati.

In college I tried to start a magazine, and was offered a job publishing it, but I refused because I felt uninspired. In reality I was too disoriented to find the office where I was supposed to work. I have had a job at a public library. I have nearly been crushed by mechanical bookshelves (at a library where I was working). Mechanical bookshelves do exist, but they're relatively rare.

I'm on okay terms with my stepmother, although she once called me a dirty name. My brother Brian is a computer prodigy. My stepfather is also a programmer. Both of my parents have been married twice. I'm an aspiring immortal. My favorite food used to be macaroni and cheese. Now it's almost anything with pesto. I once went vegetarian for a year and a day. My diet tends to be high in carbohydrates. Prose poems are my idea of a novel. At the end of high school, I wanted to study architecture. In my first year of college, my major was philosophy, but I didn't get into any philosophy classes due to elitism. Briefly, I once aspired to be a movie extra. Now I see that as a low point. |
