RED RISING REVIEW

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

red rising“The Red Rising Trilogy is an epic Macho Cinderella Story. The story and characters are eloquently sculpted from well-weathered egalitarian clichés of Star-Wars-Hunger-Game-Of-Thrones post-apocalyptic-peasant-revolts set in a high-tech ultra-hierarchal-Greco-Roman-space-opera-society.  Brilliant prose, plot twists and legions of antagonists are collectively dedicated to dystopian gore, guts and glory of gold-obsessed class-based blood feuds wherein the purposelessness of human life is to learn to love pain and power.

Predictably, The “Golden Couple” get married and live happily ever after, as most human fantasy stories aspire… getting married, having babies, living in a castle, served and lauded by the peasants is a “happy ending”.

The unwritten story, as usual, is that humans all die, inevitably, with nostalgic finality to seek their reward in “The Veil”.

This trilogy is perfect Hollywood film fodder for servants of money-motivated vested interests of the planetary power elite. The subservient classes: Red, Pinks, Browns etc., will spend their minimum wages in theaters by the shovel full to wallow in the “beautiful dramatic pain” of egalitarian dreams crushed in the subterranean mines of Mars.

Sadly, the genius of Pierce Brown as a masterful wordsmith and epic storyteller is wasted on repeating the same worn out “Hero Epic” story line recycled ad nausea since the days of Homer. Humans live in painful servitude until they die to be rewarded in the “afterlife”.  All in a blink of the eye for the soulless of “gods” who worship power and gold.

Where have all the Immortals gone?  Buried in the gory-damn dust of impossible dreams.

LIFE AFTER DEATH

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

LIFE AFTER DEATH“If you attended your own funeral you are probably suffering from the loss of having a body. More important, you may be thinking that you don’t really have any identity or personality without having a body. How will anyone recognize you without your body? Fortunately, bodies are a nickel a million. Five babies are born every second.  So, should you succumb to the ungodly urge to get a new baby body in order to feel a sense of personal identity, you will need to practice being cute.  The only reason people have babies – and keep them – is because they think babies are cute. The same principle applies to all living creatures. So, brush up on looking cute, making cute sounds, doing cute mannerisms, cute smiles, cute laughs, etc..  You’ll need to have your cute skills in top form when and if you get a new body.”

LAND OF THE DEAD

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Land of The DeadIn the fanciful world of the Pirates of The Caribbean films, the living and the dead sail the same seas together — one above, one below.  The dead share the same thirst, hunger and lust as the living, but cannot slake them unless they inhabit a body.  Yet, how much different are the adventures of the living and dead?  Those beings with bodies are called the “living”.  Yet, are not those without bodies also alive in eternity as spiritual beings?  Physical sensation is pale, fragile and temporary and nearly always far less satisfying than imagined in the mind! Inevitably every “living” person will sail The Sea of Life to the same destination: The Land of The Dead.  Who accept the “living” claim that “gettin’ back” is the problem?

It’s easy to die.  Everyone does it inevitably.  But, how easy is it to “live” in a body?  The real problem for a spiritual being is Living in The Land of The Dead eternally.  And, perhaps, it may be wise to avoid “gettin’ back” all together to save repeating the same folly that caused the pain, sorry and disappointments we suffered because we were encumbered by a body!
