"Etznab Mathers"

   "Etznab Mathers" is a poetic pen name used on this site to convey two basic principles. Etznab, as I understand it, means something akin to: Hall of Mirrors. It is a word used to designate the 18th Day Name in the Mayan Calendar. Mathers, on the other hand, is a play on words. I use it for a symbolic indicator of the similar sounding word Matters - intended as a verb. In other words, Etznab Mathers - as used on this site - basically means: a hall of mirrors matters. In fact, this is what I attribute to be the author of this site. Simply, a hall of mirrors that seems to matter.
   Looking at a computer screen is like looking at a mirror. But, a mirror without a reflection is something that doesn't really matter. Instead, I understand the need for a reflective substance before a mirror really seems to matter. That reflective substance would be the observer. The witness.
   Many different levels of reflective substances compose the illusion to a hall of mirrors. Thus, different observers looking from various perspectives will contribute to same.  Accordingly, the data on this site is basically reference data, compiled information; like many different pieces to a mirror. The same mirror of course, but seemingly arranged as several different parts.
   "Etznab Mathers" [E.M.] then, is the most sincere attempt that I know about for ascribing an author to any particular thing. Consequently, it would be a gross limitation to equate one's own personal name with all manner of manifestation. Even more so, to suggest that all people should believe and think according to the temporal thoughts and feelings of one single individual.
   Nevertheless, for those persons who demand original name identification, my initial name given at birth [this lifetime] was D.R.D.
