HEAVEN IS BORING

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“The Eternal threat of Boredom remains when one abdicates recognition of oneself as the Source of Boredom.

When we carefully examine every instant of our personal existence we  discover that we created it, agreed with it and willingly participated with others to cause it to continue to exist.

Why? Boredom. Nothingness.  Our individual and collective unwillingness to admit that we are actively creating everything that we perceive.

Yet, this simple recognition of our personal responsibility for the existence of this universe, and all universes and of our own eternal nothingness is the solution to the Mystery of the Ages.

Every question provides its own reply:

What is Mystery? The Mystery is that there is no mystery. We create mystery by choosing to Not Know and to Not Be the Eternal Nothingness of Our Selves.”

— Excerpt from MORTALITY MECHANICS’ MANUAL by Lawrence R. Spencer

CRAB MENTALITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Individually, crabs about to be boiled alive in a pot could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless “king of the hill” competition (or sabotage) which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise.  Human mythology says that when you put male lobsters into a boiling pot, they try to form a pyramid and help one escape.  Female lobsters, however, will pull each other down as they try to escape.

As for male lobsters being so helpful to one another, one of the reasons their claws are rubber-banded is because they can be fairly cannibalistic – given a chance they’ll eat each other. A study of the stomach contents of lobsters determined that a good portion of a lobster’s diet is other lobsters.

SO, WHAT ABOUT THE ASSHOLES WHO PUT THE LOBSTERS INTO THE POT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

WITHOUT VIRTUES

The 7 “WITHOUT VIRTUES”, written by Mohandas Gandhi, pervade the modern world inspired by a New World Order of bankers, politicians and priests:

1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Business without ethics
5. Science without humanity
6. Religion without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle
