A SECULAR
SOCIETY OF PASSION! AND IMMORTAL SOULS! HUNGER FOR PLEASURE AND
MOMENTS OF LIFE, NOT NUMBERS AND BUREAUCRATIC REPETITIONS!
Before
the sickness of so-called realism we had ART! Art that was concerned
with the SOUL, LIFE AND DEATH, the sickness and glory of the Spirit!
GODS and DEVILS! Good and evil battled to the ends of the world
according to the tales and folklores of the Ragnarok, the judaeo-christian
final judgment, Kali Yuga, the Gotterdämerung, the twilight
of the gods, mad Saint Johns Apocalypse (Mark 13: NO FLESH SHALL
BE SPARED) , Charles Manson's HELTER SKELTER, Jim Jones and the
mass murder of the Guiana!!!
Ancient
greek texts where filled with the fantastic, the mythical, the impossible,
the parallel versions of reality. All that mattered was the SPIRIT.
The SOUL, the IMMORTAL men.
And
what happened?
So
called scientific realism, empirism, cartesianism, illuminism came
by, and they destroied any serious attempt to investigate the human
soul. The Illiad, Shakespeare's MacBeth, the gods that Plato used
to consult before writing, all empires built to the memory of Odin,
the mysteries and strength of the enlightment of the Siddartha,
Vishnu and Brahma, Loki and Thor, Asmodeus and Belial
.. All
those entities, gods, guides which made men build cities and empires
, pyramids, colossal structures and concepts, those ideas that burned
with life inside the human mind and led the way societies were run
DEAD. Killed by microscopes.
We
were thrown in a ghetto, boys and girls! Horror films, fantasy,
"fiction"
. "Escapism", "Kids'stuff",
that's it. We are not serious or real. Everything that matters is
.
Welll, matter.
Not
energy.
And
we are energy.
Humanity became obsessed with the conditions of the material world
we live in. Where is Icarus losing his wings? Where is Samson losing
his hair (and then his strength)? Where are Thor and Loki battling
over Asgard? Those were not parables, metaphors of the human condition,
sadness and grandiousness! THOSE WERE LITERAL HISTORIES OF THE MULTITUDE
OF PLANES THAT THE HUMAN MIND INHABITS!
There's
not a single, correct, absolutely recognizable reality. There are
parallels to every experience. Stuck in Malkuth, we only absorb
1% of what is around us.
And
you are concerned with getting things right, getting money, paying
rent, having children, watching TV, worshipping Satan, going to
church and buying records!!!
I despise
you with all MY STRENGTH!
You
despicable excuse for consciousness!!!
Long
live imaginary universes! There is no such thing as reality and
you all should know it. Our tenuous, dilute, thin, brief, ephemeral
passage through this sad, solid, concrete and pain shattered plain
of existence is only that. And time means nothing to the secrets
of the soul.
That
sounds deep, doesn't it?
