THE SOLUTION TO IMMORTALITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

(Painting:  Allegoria della vita umana – Guido Cafnacci – 1601)

“When you choose to Be Nothing you regain control of Existence.  Your Power, your Ability, your Wisdom, your Freedom and your Immortality are yours to relinquish or embrace.  Do you desire Immortality?  Do you desire to break the cycle of birth, life, pain, death, rebirth and endless,  unwinnable games in the physical universe?

You must decide to Be Nothing. Be responsible for your own Boredom. Create Your Own Universe. Disagree with Agreement. Admire Your Self. Create and find Joy in your games, your dreams, your illusions. Can you hover over a mountaintop for ten thousand years?  Can you pretend, like a child, that your best friend is a ghost?  Can your best friend be You?

The solution to Mortality is Being You: The Immortal Creator.”

— Excerpt from  the new book by Lawrence R. Spencer: MORTALITY MECHANICS’ MANUAL  (Soon to be released as an Audiobook on Audible.com)

DISEMBODIED

NOT BODIES

“The English word spirit (from Latin spiritus “breath“) has many differing meanings and connotations, most of them relating to a non-corporeal substance contrasted with the material body. The word spirit is often used metaphysically to refer to the consciousness or personality. The notions of a person’s spirit and soul often also overlap, as both contrast with body and both are understood as surviving the bodily death in religion and occultism, and “spirit” can also have the sense of “ghost“, i.e. a manifestation of the spirit of a deceased person.

MAGIC DOGMA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“There is only one dogma in Magic: The visible is the manifestation of the invisible. The visible bears an exact proportion to the things which are inappreciable by our senses and unseen by our eyes.  Above, immensity: Below immensity! Immensity equals immensity. This is true in things seen, as in things unseen.”

after Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, The Doctrine of Transcendental Magic.  From MORTALITY MECHANIC’S MANUAL by Lawrence R. Spencer

Imagine that you are an Immortal, Omniscient, Omnipotent spiritual being. You have existed through all eternity, and cannot do otherwise. You are Eternally responsible for the existence of everything you can perceive in your Universe. Your every thought and whim materialize instantly, and disappear as soon as you stop. You know the outcome of every action you take before you make a move. Imagine how boring it might become? 

What price would you pay to be amused by someone other than yourself?  What would you be willing to do to solve the problem of perpetual boredom?  For an Immortal Being, mortality might be a coveted and convenient relief from eternal loneliness: no sensation, no surprises, no fun.

What if a “Mortality Mechanic” could make your existence more exciting and less boring?  Are you interested?  After billions of years of testing and experimentation solutions to Immortality have been codified in the Mortality Mechanic’s Guide.  You are the living proof that their job is done.

A new book by Lawrence R. Spencer.  Read it now…Immortality doesn’t last forever.
