I will preface this writing by letting you, the reader, know that I endorse no religion or faith beyond what my own mind has conjured. Along with that sentiment I want to also make it clear that I mean no offense to any other forms of belief if they help you and don't hurt others.
I also understand that the ideas I'm expressing are in no way new. Sometimes it just makes me feel better to put things in word form.Everyone sees things differently, and this is how I see them.
All animals, plants, minerals, bacteria, etc. have all come from the same source, and its nothing mystical. It's all from our Mother Earth. We are terrestrial beings and our planet has given us everything we will ever need, and when we pass away we will return to Her soil and regenerate a new era. We will always be, although this momentary existence gives us anxious doubt. We're so worried about death, but in reality, our corpses will be productive fertilizer for those yet to come.
We are all always reincarnated.
The Melting Corpse is the Sea Of Light, The Ancient Tide.
But our planet doesn't care about us. It's a rock in space, just like you are an animal in the wilderness. Mother Earth can't control everything you do, She can't even inform you of what you might be doing wrong because you're supposed to figure that out yourself.
She birthed you and She will kill you eventually. It's not up to Her to give you direction all the time. We're already rotating at a consistent pace around the Sun; you'll figure out the rest for yourself or you won't.
That said, the seemingly-bleak lack-of-meaning is what ultimately gives you, a Human Animal, so many possibilities. You can do whatever you want as long as you're not hurting others. Shit, the criminal class figured out long ago that no one's watching you.
Besides police. The Police are real and I'm really afraid of them. They're really good at what they do.
Jail is real. Lucifer is a character. I'm not scared of characters.I'm scared of Police.
I'm scared of car crashes.
There is no hell; hell is an elaborately effective literary device that has trapped us for millennia. But that trapping, in itself, reflects the very nature of our experience. Our art, our literature, our thoughts...these are the best parts of our animal existence. These feelings and expressions and meanings that we make for ourselves, they are the best parts of our short lives. Mother Earth can't take those things away because we pass ourselves to the next generation.
Rock n roll can never die.
I understand that it's hard for certain individuals, certain personality types etc., to feel confident in themselves when they cognize the idea of being an animal in a godless world full of self-indulged mythology and lies, but to me it's empowering. Once you set aside all the guilt and shame of sin and judgement what you're left with is freedom limited only by physics and morality.
Morality itself is a mechanism of the mind and therefore somewhat malleable. Rights do not exist but they are a nice thing to keep in mind so as to make our existence in society workable. But our philosophical ramblings and 'conclusions' are in essence only thoughts that we somehow make real through our actions, or negate and make useless, through our actions.
It's all always in our hands.
So lay down the fear and the anxiety that belief in a higher power entails and find meaning in the life that's in front of you. Mother Earth will always be there, but she's not there for you. You make your own fate.
Faith No More.
