The problem isn't your body - that's what bodies do. Adjusting your mindset is the only thing that'll make existence bearable.

Spot should know. His mind isn't all that is unbearable.:yh_rotfl

I look directly into the face of God every day, hoppy, and it's not me that ends up blinking.

Sounds like adolescence to me!

Existance (especially if it's fullfilled in the white men's world) always turns out to be bearable, because it's nothing but a thin and tiresome conjuction line between the immensity and the immensity of the nothing.

The earthly eternity may be the solution, but it seems like not even god is able to bestow it to us.

Thank Christ ForumGarden doesn't video-link members into threads by default then, that's all I can say.

An earthly eternity of non-fulfilment is something to avoid. Be thankful you'll switch off like a burned-out light bulb in the comparatively near future.

Verb of Nothing points us to capitalist free market wage slavery, which distracts the proletariat from contemplating the wider implications of existence by dangling materialist baubles carrot-fashion in front of the industrial juggernaut to which the proletariat is harnessed. He notes that, were this distraction to be never ending, it might be adequate. Considering our inevitable death is, he observes, the means whereby we can put this temptation behind us and concentrate on what really matters.

Eternity doesn't scare me. At the contrary, I'm horrified by the end and by the purpose of anything: not knowing the exact ending time of this thing, I'm forced to do something meanwhile.

But in eternity (where there's no end) I can comfortably refuse to act, because nothing will happen.

Time breaks up everything. But if I'd be alienated from time, If I'd be eternal, I would have nothing to worry about.

You're denying the identity of your eternal I and your current avatar. You're treating the one as non-you, as postponed you, as different from you. You could, of course, be correct in your denial.

If you're correct then you have no choice, there is no eternal I, you can never achieve it, sit back and watch the show or walk out, it's not as though you'll have a tomorrow in which to remember it.

If there is an association between an eternal I and the unalienated poster then you're left with a puzzle. What's the function of the split? You've only got so long in which to work it out, if working it out is of any potential benefit to you, or to do whatever alternate thing might improve the eternal I's condition if anything can.

I feel my body roting and limping along the tortuous existance.
You've joined just to brighten my day, haven't you? :wah:

I don't care about what I'll be AFTER. I've got to "live" first, that's the problem. I'm interested in death, but, shame, we have so few informations about it while we pass our time here...

Oh, I could talk with a priest. Oh, wait, I'm doing it now.

Anyway: that's why I talked about an earthly eternity. I'm all but looking for heaven.

Why this is heaven, nor are you out of it.

Let's face it, every other concept of heaven is pretty hellish.

The huge attraction of what you've got now is that, in some senses, it'll end.

Only deluded undeceived people can think about suicide seriously.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it would be a blessing for me, but:

- I'm too unworthy to do it

- The Holy Owl told me to wait.

Hello verb, welcome to the garden.

Ooooh I'm just about keeping up with you two :wah: Wouldn't have done that a year ago, in another year I might be able to join in!! :guitarist

You've been off consorting with unsavoury influences, that's your problem.

Ok i'll bite, who's the holy owl?

The Holy Owl's vision is much better at night than in the light of day.

That's not attractive. That's terrible. Your cogitation has lead white men to create clocks and other foolish things to control our actions and our lives.

I'm sick of breathing.

One of the Forest's spirits. You've got to be naked and open-minded to hear his words in your ears.

May I ask Verb? Have you listened to this on a regular basis?

YouTube - The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Just wondering

No, but now I'm gonna listen.

I love that roaring noise commonly known as music.

The Holy Owl's vision and wisdom is exceeded only by the "Great Horned Toad"

who sees not the nakedness of man nor his deafness.

So he is just a stupid dumbass.

And it is even wise! What a bad, bad thing...

Verb of Nothing;1251908 wrote: So he is just a stupid dumbass.

Quite the contrary---------his looks belie his spiritual insight into the inner workings of mere mortals.

And it is even wise! What a bad, bad thing...


Hardly-------------wisdom is a much honored thing to behold.

No, because since that word was used its boundaries have been arbitrarily stipulated by men.

So we're basically talking about an undemostrable thing.

Good for philosophical issues, useless for real, concrete and imposing spiritual entities like the Holy Owl.

so the Holy Owl is wisdomless?????? unwise?

Well he seems quite opinionated as you have to be naked and open-minded.

I feel like I've stepped into a dark forest and I'm naked. And I'm lost. I hear an owl in the distance. I will follow the sound of the owl. Perhaps the owl will show me the way out of this dark forest.

Hi, Verb.

Here's a welcome mat for you. I do hope you find some joy and some peace of mind in your life.

if i had a dollar for every time ive said that..........

Great. Seriously

I didn't expect you all were so exciting. Amazing.

When I first visited this forum I thought it was very shitty. And now you've become so interesting...

This though is another demostration of one of my main axioms: true wisdom hides itself in sh*t.
