I saw a YouTube short of Limp Bizkit at Woodstock '99 and I got emotional* Because that world is dead, that energy is gone. Now, we repent. For we are dead inside and we killed ourselves; we let the Spirit wither away and rot. Nietzsche was right: God is dead. But God was also a part of each and every one of us. It was the Third Eye, guiding us from beyond our perceptions. Now it is closed and we are blind; and lost. Our tender hearts have hardened and turned into stone. In time, they will crumble, fall and dissolve into dust to be blown away into the abyss. A heart that can no longer bleed can no longer beat; can no longer sustain a soul that breathes. * I cried

The essence of faith is trust that the path will manifest as we navigate the unknown; and reach for the unknowable.

I have decided I’m going to romanticize my own life. I believe this might be the only way to truly live. Amor fati.

You can’t just sit and wait for inspiration to show up. You need to help make it manifest itself. You need inputs to generate the outputs, and you need to be open, vulnerable and courageous to let them out.

“With the light of the brain, with the flame of the heart, I besiege every cell where God is jailed, seeking, trying, hammering to open a gate in the fortress of matter, to create a gap through which God may issue in heroic attack.” ― Nikos Kazantzakis

Movie idea: a mafia film that ends with the plot twist that the mafia is actually the government

I’m not entitled to anything. Nothing is titled to me. I have no title. I don’t OWN anything. I only custody things. Take care of them. Even my body, my health - it is not a given; it is a gift. And like any other tender piece of meat - in time that, too, will rot. This is why one should not be attached to anything; for all is temporary. But be grateful for everything; for all is a gift. Enjoy the present.

We are not tormented for no reason. We are tormented so we would pay attention to the Call. We are tormented so that we would respond to the Cry of Battle. The Battle for our lives, for God; the Spirit of Humanity.

Don’t think that there will ever come a time when you stop making mistakes. That there will be a time when you are so good and wise and virtuous that you can do no harm; and do no wrong. Accept your fate as a flawed mortal being, accept your mistakes — no, OWN your mistakes, but don’t let them own you. Learn from them without dwelling on them — because they are like quicksand — dwell on them and you will sink in, they will consume you; and soon you will be enveloped by them in such a way that you will only be surrounded by THEM: your mistakes, your selfishness, your foolishness, your hubris, your sins. And if all you have is that, then, well — I would say that’s pretty damn close to Hell. However, if you completely ignore all that, then that’s like a small fire in your house that you’re not doing anything about. Continue paying no attention and soon, the things you ignored will burn your whole house down. The Fire is a powerful friend, but a terrible enemy.

Kiwi nostriches! Fancy a car that doesn't look and feel like you're driving a doghouse on wheels but can't bring yourself to splurge on a Lambo? I have the solution for you... 🤠👇 View quoted note →

I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad, that having a homestead, 5+ kids and neighbors you know by name — which used to be the standard for the majority of people in the Western world — has become a mere dream, nothing short of an Utopia, for people my age and younger. What’s especially sad is that people don’t even seem to want to recognize that being the case and keep telling themselves we live in a “developed” society. Or, if they do dare to recognize the fact, they tend to blame “late-stage capitalism” (which is not capitalism — it’s communism; or — an utterly and irredeemably crony capitalism at best) for the situation. Wake up, Neo. Look into the abyss. It’s painful. But there is truth in there.

Now, whenever I see a shooting star, I don’t wish for anything. I choose to be content with my lot, whatever it is.

Hope y'all are having a Sunny Sunday 🤠 #tunestr
