THE SOLUTION TO IMMORTALITY

June 23, 2025 LRS

(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)

BEAUTIFUL SADNESS

“IN DREAMS”

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room every night just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper, “Go to sleep. Everything is alright.”

I close my eyes, Then I drift away…into the magic night.

I softly say a silent prayer, like dreamers do.

Then I fall asleep to dream… my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you.

In dreams I talk to you.

In dreams you’re mine.

All of the time we’re together… In dreams… In dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.

I can’t help it… I can’t help it if I cry.

I remember that you said “goodbye”.

It’s too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams…

Only in dreams… in beautiful dreams.”
