ace theist
Atheism
Ace theism. Hate-ism. His team. The
very same. God is love, but God is also a man of war, and the art
of war is deception. So, the reality is God is all about hate and
vengeance, visited upon sinners. The prince of peace came to bring the sword. The bloodthirsty need to find peace, satisfaction, release. Religion becomes a justification for criminality. A drug crime: It's the opiate of the masses. There's crime, but there's also
sin, breaking God's law. You can obey all laws, but you can't escape
sin. Original sin, I would surmise, is breaking the buddhist
injunction to escape samsara, that is, rebirth. Childbirth is
suffering, and every baby is destined to suffer and die, in turn.
Lord is a word for life or death, light or darkness. “Vengeance is
mine, sayeth the lord.” The lord God is a dark lord. An act of
God is a natural disaster. Nature is Creation, but also Destruction.
Corpses feed worms and flies, push up daisies, if not feed
cannibals. The immortality of Christ, the continuance of
Christianity, the life of the Church, is dependent on the sacrament
of the Eucharist, the vampirism and cannibalism ordained by God,
because we are what we eat (eu a christ), requiring the sacrifice
that creates cum-union. The line between virtue and sin is blurred,
for God. That's why it's called a mystery. God is incapable of
doing evil. God is the Game of Death, and Go, Devil, and Guns or
Drugs. There is no evil. Everyone deserves to die. God is
everywhere, knows all, so He is the devil, too. God created the
devil. Devil is 4-evil (antichrist=4). God is good, you say. But
it's all good. Evil is good, too, you might say. It's an
opportunity to make good. It'd be a boring world without problems for him to fix. God is love, and love is good, even if
it's loving the devil. Go out to love and serve the lord, the
priests say. Choose the light or darks side of the force. Making love is making pleasure, making a baby, making
God. Sex creates resentment, jealousy, anger, and even violence, by
those without. Nothing puts lovers in the mood more than violence,
threat, insecurity, and the consequent need to cling to one another
and protect each other, us against the world. Good doesn't exist
without Evil, just as shadow depends on light. Heaven only exists in
contrast to hell. Pleasure is made in contrast to pain. They're
two sides of the same coin. Jesus was all about right vs. left, good
vs. evil, virtue vs. sin, love vs. hate, the full human experience,
dying for All, of all persuasions. God is love, love believes all
things, and all things include atheism, satanism, agnosticism, even
antichrist. The angel of death, father time, the lord – all Death.
God is love, which depends on death. There would be no love without
death. We are all reproduction machines, programmed by our DNA to
have sex before we die. Created by and for love. Death instigates
love. We all want love, are dying for love. God is the creator, and
destruction creates. Passion refers to both sex and the crucifixion.
Guns and roses, love and rockets, yin and yang, black and white,
male and female, sharpen the appetite, which produces life. We
subsist on life. Dead plants make living animals. Vegetarian or
carnivore, you're both killers. Sacrifices must be made to sustain
life. Thou shalt not kill? Impossible. Everyone is a sinner, there
is not One who does not sin, the wages of sin is death. Everyone
dies. Even God. God is dead. God is undead. God is alive. God is
all, ah. Aha! Without God, all things are permitted. Do what thou
wilt. Don't get caught. The police are fishers of men. God is
always and everywhere, in life and death, light and darkness, love
and despair, theism and atheism.
He's tricky. So many names,
definitions, spells, memes, concepts. Reality is all the God there
ever is (if you're a pantheist). An object of worship (a thing? Like
an idol?). Perfect and All-Loving (pal) (and yet the creator of
hell?). Creator and Ruler (car) (yet permitting SMALBED- satan,
mephistopheles, antichrist, lucifer, beelzebub, evil, devil).
Permitting and allowing all to ow. Thought to control some part of
Nature or Reality, having supernatural powers and attributes,
believed in and worshipped by a people (but really just an ordinary
man, as Godly as anyone else; superhuman: a super human!). The Supreme Being and poof (principal
object of faith). Supreme, like a pizza. Omniscient (knowing all,
in the biblical sense: we're all fuct). God doesn't exist, because
no commonly agreed meaning of God exists! Only God is good? Must everything be evil for an atheist? Maybe God doesn't believe in Himself, is an atheist, has his lifetime moment of doubt. What do You say, dear reader/god?
Please note that I, God, am not advocating, nor will I ever advocate, even if life is hell, drinking the grape koolaid, okay? I don't like saying "allright", even if sometimes I reach the conclusion it's all good and I shouldn't be a hater. Suicide is not the answer. War and killing and torture is not the answer. Capital Punishment is not the answer. Abortion is not the answer. Drugs are not the answer. Everyone says love is the answer. What was the question?: What's "the way?" Oh, the absence of suffering, and the presence of happiness. I'm not sure love is really the answer, though, actually. It seems to imply loving the devil, loving hell, loving everyone - a tall order. For me, I think friends and humor and nature and music and books and service and money and equanimity and good food and exercise endorphins are a kind of composite answer. But I hope to throw love into the mix, someday. Do what you gotta do. Making mistakes is part of life, the learning curve, the "way." (That's the sense in which it's all right). What floats your boat? A sea of blood? Or peace, love, and harmony. Maybe a good aikido battle/draw!

MM
More Me
So, ya, I'm God. I like to think
I am. I play the role. It takes over my mind, perfects my life,
informs my writing, and gives my life meaning. Maybe it provides a
service. I want to be good, better, best. Maybe I will emerge, escape, from mental illness, and
become well, in time. That's my hope. It happens! Symptom
remission: no voices, chest pains, head shocks, teeth taps, feeling
possessed and monitored and controlled. No need for a constant
dialog with the voice in my head. Self-possessed, sane, and
recovered. And physically fit, strong, and healthy, from good
nutrition and daily exercise. I have a gym membership, and a job
that demands 2 hours of cardio, 5 days a week (at least). My blog
keeps me grounded, keeps me connected to family as well as strangers,
and can be a bit humorous, too (although I take it seriously, for the
most part). I'm drinking beer, taking less medication, and eating
protein powder, oatmeal, fruit, and a mostly vegetarian diet, along
with my morning omega 3 fish oil capsules and vitamin c. I'm also
looking for work that I enjoy, that maybe could be a passion that
pays the bills. Kaiser membership, meds, and my monthly disability
check from Social Security (that pays most my rent) would need to be
payed for, if and when I become sane. I'm not sure what all that is
worth and would require. I believe I have the talent and potential
to surpass it, and live comfortably, with added quality of
life that includes travel, if not house/wife/kids/car. I mean, I'm God, lol. But I'm happy
where I am, and not all that motivated, though, to be honest. I like
my freedom. But maybe I could be both richer AND happier, in
addition to SANE. What should I do?
Possible employment includes
professional cuddler, reading and recording audiobooks, coordinating
prison reading (tablets, audiobooks, education, job training, and
peaceful self-defense, for example), and going back to being a hotel
bellhop. I would still like to walk dogs, on the side, I think. I
also would like to be an author. I mostly just write about myself
and my madness, on my blog. If I could read my literature lists and
get paid for it, that would be ideal. There are movie and book and
restaurant critics who get to indulge their passions, people like
Rick Steves who get paid to travel, and of course The President who
gets paid to be the most powerful person on earth! There's lottery
winners, and people with inheritance, and people like Bill Gates and
the Waltons with ungodly amounts of money, for whom money will never
be a problem, having amassed a hoard in the past that is sufficient
for their entire futures. I love music. I love books. I love
nature. I love writing. I was an International Relations major in
college, I speak Spanish, and long to get back to swimming, yoga, and
aikido. I like dating, too. I have a sense of humor. I will always
have food and shelter, I believe/hope. So what should I do? I have
too much to do, even without getting paid! Well, sanity would be a
great gift from the gods. I would be glad to repay society for
freedom from mental illness, if I remain in comfort and am doing
something I enjoy. I would like to lead nature hikes. I like kids.
I would like to be an exercise partner. I would love to read lots
and lots of children's literature. I would love to be a successful
vegetarian bodybuilder. I want to master Spanish. I want to fall
in love, or is love overrated. At least I love myself. Maybe I don't know what true love is. Sad thing, for a God.
Maybe madness IS sane. The world
is mad, and I have comfort, reading and writing and exercising, that
keeps me busy and happy, already, now. Ugh. I'm a bit of a loner,
and keep good company with myself. I have a routine, a ritual, and a
sense of purpose and meaning, which actually incorporates the voice,
although irritating, as a possible aid to society, if I deal with it
intelligently and with maturity. I don't want to be a devil's pawn,
however, and would just as soon be done with the madness.
I've settled into a solitary
routine, except of course with the dogs I walk and the occasional
playing with my nephew Benjamin, or Augustus, that I enjoy. Kaiser
offers free lunch twice a week, and I get some satisfaction
participating in the “wellness club,” although I mostly end up
thinking others are stupid, messed up, and boring (including the
staff, and not just the participants). We can't all be perfect, lol.
I hate David. My family can be annoying. Christians are mostly deluded. Politics is getting
fucking retarded. I shouldn't have to drink alcohol or take
medication. I am a good person, and shouldn't have to deal with the
sheer quantity of shit that gets shoveled on me. F- you, world.
Leave me alone, you f-ing 'tards. Gr. (I know that isn't politically correct. I don't care. I can be retarded, too.) Or is being alone the problem?
Some Stuff
A Bit 'Bout Me
I was diagnosed as bipolar once; So, this hi and lo business is a fitting opening. Bipolar disorder was once called manic depression. You may have heard the Jimi Hendrix song about it. I am not my disease. I am not even my name. My name is Jesse. No I. Jesse, like Jackson, James, Owens, Helms, Ventura. You can call me Jess. I am a man. Not Jessica, or Jessie. You could say I am my name, but actually, I am my body. My body is called Jesse. I can change my name, just as I can change my body. One has no relation to the other. Well, I know that's not strictly true. People with A's in their names are better students, I read somewhere, for example. But I'm not sure names SHOULD affect bodies. Don't take the name of the lord your God in vain. Jesse? I didn't take it, I was given it! I won't take H in my veins, I think, though.
Hi, I'm Jesse. Jesse Teshara. One of
them. Google says there's another. Specifically, I'm the Jesse
Lawrence Teshara. But I am not my name. I am my body. My body's
name is JLT. A rose is a rose by any other name. I have an aunt
Rose. She's a nun. Aunty-Christ. My God-father was Dick (Richard).
Glad to meet you. I am God. I am. Je suis. You can call me Jess.
Jesse means “God makes forget” and “The Whole Office of the
Eucharist.” My name in Spanish is Isai, Jesus, and Chuy. That's
pronounced Eesa-e, Hey Zeus, and Chewy. The eucharistic wafer IS
chewy. Eucharist can be rearranged to Eu a christ. You are what
you eat (less what you excrete). Maybe you shit the devil (the devil
IS a piece of shit!). Jesus sums to 2, in numerology: 10, 5, 19, 21,
19. That's 1,5,1,3,1. You sum the sums, so 11 becomes 2. The
Whole Office=T.W.O. Christ is 5, like E. Every word sums to a
number from 1 to 9, which gives some added meaning to Summer. Isai?
I, Isa. Isa is Jesus in Arabic. Jesse is an anagram for see s.j.
(society of jesus, the jesuits). Teshara can be 'as earth'. So I'm
“Jesus as earth.” I'm a part of the christian conspiracy! Jay
Zee and jazzy and jizzy for example. Jose and Josie and Jest works,
too. JLT stands for jolt, jilt, jailtime. JT is similar to the pi
symbol. J is the tenth letter. Satan is say, ten. WWJD? Jesse
would write! A nightly rite of right writing. The letter J unifies
Satan with Jesus. L is the twelfth letter, like the
disciples/apostles/tribes. Or the knight, in chess. Lawrence is my
dad's name. He goes by Mr. T. Hilarity. Larry has a brother, who is my Uncle
Tom. No kidding! I'm a Big Brother, too. Greg is GLT, like the
volvo. I was born on 9-3, like the saab. My mom is Peggy T, like
Egypt, or PG&E, or the PT Cruiser. T is like a cross. Teshara
is pronounced T'share uh. The Holy See is in fact a Jesuit. I grew
up in San Francisco. I went to St. Ignatius (college preparatory).
SI was the founder of the Jesuit order. So that's the connection
with pope Francis, and see S.J.
Jesse Lawrence Teshara is an
anagram for 'ace wrathless sane jeer'. The world is mad, and I'm an
ace at wrathlessly jeering it. You may have forgotten that I am God.
That's okay, because you are, too. You ate the host, and so now
you're Christ. Christ just means annointed with oil. You can also
make yourself Christ with some olive oil, any time you like. And
have a hostess cupcake for dessert. If God didn't want us to eat
animals, then why are they made of meat? Meet your mate, team.
Jesse, Jess-see, JC. Isai, two i's to C with (Chuy). My mom goes to
Mass nearly every day. Ma, Te. Mom, Jesus Christ! She bakes a lot
of chicken. (Chickens illustrate heaven – ave hen!) The heavenly
afterlife is in on the tastebuds and stomachs of us diners who
enjoyed consuming their flesh. El pollo loco! (crazy good chicken!)
ATE is, in fact, 8. God is 8. H is the eighth letter. Allah, all
a H. Reality is all the God there ever is. I'm trying to be more
vegetarian. Did you know they call Harris Ranch “cowshwitz”?
I'll get my angel's wings when my flesh is consumed by flies, after I
die. And I'll be eaten by worms, too, no doubt. We're all white, in
our bones! We're all God because we are the principal architects of
our own happiness, we're love (god -the love of our parents, the
creators- made us), we believe all things (including atheism), god is
everywhere so there is no one and nothing that is not God, god is all
powerful and the most powerful act is murder and god is a man of war
and there is a time to kill and vengeance is mine sayeth the lord
(life or death) and the wages of sin is death and there is no one who
does not sin, and we're all killers in our hearts (anagram of
haters), which need blood to survive. Vampire, by the way, is I.m.a.
Perv. Christians drink the blood of Christ. Blood fetish is in fact
perverted, I'd say. Love is a heart, in the same way that Allah is
all. There is no God but God, the recitation says. God is a man of
war, and the art of war is deception. Theology is the study of THE
(tee-hee!). Perhaps the prince of peace came to bring the sword.
The U.S. Presidential election is almost upon us, so don't let the
left hand know what the right is doing. The righteous right and the
loco left. The loving left and the really rong right. Chuy is
Chewbacca from Star Wars, and Riddle is Voldemort (lord move T) in
the Harry Potter books, and Tennessee is very J-esse, and my left
ankle doesn't bend, which is sinister and sinful and leftious. I'm
adopted, and therefore pro-life, and Annette V Riddle is my
birthmother. She's diagnosed as schizophrenic, too. Sarah Salazar
was my sister. Gnosis.
Hi
Hello. Hell low. Hi. High.
You're probably aware of this subliminal content behind the familiar
greetings, no? The words have the same denotation, but different
connotations. Hello is more cold, while hi is warmer, more familiar
-which is weird, because hell is supposed to be a place of fire,
while high elevations are colder, sometimes snowy (despite being
closer to the sun). Saying hello isn't hellish, and saying hi
doesn't necessarily evoke an emotional surge of what I like to call
“oogies” of joy (although they could). They are dry, formal,
preliminary, perfunctory, and prompt no further reflection.
But conceptually, intellectually,
rationally, our greeting-words inject a layer of religious meaning
into everyday language. Even “Yo!” evokes the up and down of a
yo-yo, which could further permute into higher and lower moods, if
not the actual descent into hell or ascent into heaven. Happiness IS
heaven, misery a form of hell. Bank accounts swell or dwindle,
causing elation or depression. The center of the earth IS hot, they
say. The darkness below, where most of us will go. As a child, you
look up to others. But not when you're dead, even if you're
underground. You won't even see black. If you're superior, you look
down on people, as if from heaven above, your head in the clouds,
high and happy, light and airy, as if on H. Big, important you. You
were favored by God, you were better than those little people, those
muppets, those hobbits. Flying high in the sky, like a bird, an
angel, superman, a dreamer. A pilot, a passenger. On cloud 9, on
your spaceship, on the moon, on another planet, in another universe.
God: Genius or dumb, giddy or dejected/grim or delighted, great or
diminutive, good or depraved, glorious or debased, guns or drugs, god
or devil, going or dead.
Goodbye in spanish is 'adios' (to
god), which does the same thing, except at the end of interaction (as
if the end of talking were the end of our lives). Even the word
'good' is one letter from 'god.' God with an O is good. Apparently,
god with an orgasm, or, alternatively, god plus offense, makes God
good, the words seem to be telling us. God is good, the “good
book” says, so removing an O from goodness (whatever that means:
oh, no more owe! Pay thy debts*) is also godly. “A Dios” is 'to
God' for both the speaker and the one spoken to (although it could be
intended for only one). To good things, or to better things. Or to
others, who are equally Godly. If God is good (the bible says “only”
God is good!), then going to Him (or Her) is good news, although it
could be seen to imply you weren't with him already, even if God is
everywhere, as some theologians say. God is also the source of all
goodness, I've heard said. So get going, finish your conversation,
and be on your merry way, as brevity is virtuous! Why? To God!
Because the source of all goodness is your destination! Better to
get where you're going, than tarry in your sinful situation and
steps. Death is the ultimate destination, the last stop, on this
train ride from human interaction to interaction, from one to
another, and so on, for up to 122 years, if you get really lucky.
Re-uniting with Brahman awaits. To dust you shall return.
Does all this reflection recommend
one particular greeting over another? Maybe I should stick with just
hello: 'high' reminds me of high school, or drugs, or elevation and
ascent, which have little to do with happiness or heaven. School can
be a pain. Drughs can be hellish. Trudging up mountains might not
be worth the view. But the heavens are up. More than one heaven.
As bugs bunny said, what's up doc? Well, the opposite direction from
gravity. Down is up, if you keep going! If you're going through
hell, keep going, to quote a friend from facebook. It's a long, hard
road, out of hell, sings the Spawn soundtrack. Sex has its ups and
downs. I don't believe in any afterlife, heavenly, hellish, or
otherwise. I don't think you should, either. Once you're dead,
that's it: kaput. It's the universal fate for all life that ever
lived (and, I believe, that ever will). Reincarnation is also a
ridiculous, outdated concept. What in tarnation is reincarnation?
Carnations are flowers. America is a car nation. But reincarnation
is just gibberish. You are your body, and only your body. Souls
don't exist. The soles on your feet do, as do the fish, but there is
no ghost inhabiting your body that will live on after you. Avatar is
only a movie. You will give up the ghost with your last breath, and
maybe the butterfly effect will make it into a hurricane. An act of
God might be pleasant to hope for, if you want your life to have made
a difference. Addition, subtraction. Dead hurricane victims.
Living progeny. You'll be dead forever, but you could still live on
through art, writings, children, legacy.
Maybe you find this truth
refreshing, and reading the counterpoint to erroneous religious dogma
makes you happy. Or, on the other hand, you find being reminded of
mortality sad and depressing, and you don't want to think about it:
You'd rather live forever. Or, both, simultaneously; the hellish
depression and the heavenly high cancel each other out. So hello and
hi are just simple greetings, with no other meaning in them. Meaning
itself is a weird word: it seems to say the average human is cruel,
the mean is mean, and that words themselves could be sinister in
themselves. Hopefully we all have kind words for each other. Hola,
Adios. Ha! Word to your mother, dawg. Ward, were d, warred; made
of letters (every word made of little blood-letting vampires? 26 english
vampires!); spelling (casting spells!).
I was diagnosed as bipolar once; So, this hi and lo business is a fitting opening. Bipolar disorder was once called manic depression. You may have heard the Jimi Hendrix song about it. I am not my disease. I am not even my name. My name is Jesse. No I. Jesse, like Jackson, James, Owens, Helms, Ventura. You can call me Jess. I am a man. Not Jessica, or Jessie. You could say I am my name, but actually, I am my body. My body is called Jesse. I can change my name, just as I can change my body. One has no relation to the other. Well, I know that's not strictly true. People with A's in their names are better students, I read somewhere, for example. But I'm not sure names SHOULD affect bodies. Don't take the name of the lord your God in vain. Jesse? I didn't take it, I was given it! I won't take H in my veins, I think, though.
God money-
Adios, to god: to One (2,1=3, trinity,
holy trinity of holes, map, mouth anus vagina)
God is one, an anagram of money is 'my
one': so money is 'my god'
Goodbye=good buy
omg=oh my god, O my god (offense,
orgasm, oliver)
or owe my god, or God is good
without an owe.
