What everyone must know

What makes you happy?  What doesn’t.   

What you can do.   What you can’t.  

Who you love, who you don’t.  

Know thyself.   Or, no-self.   No worries.    

You don’t have to know anything.   There is no you!

The evil monster stirred from his dark, entombed grave.   The time is near.  Blah blah blah.  Yada yada yada!

yahoo.  Ya? Who?

Clarity invoked in Microsoft Windows and Apple Air

The smell of brie in the breeze

Cheese, from the mage

Scary, Spooky Shit:

Halloween Horror

Getting the good stuff taken away

Having bad stuff put in its place

No expectation of it ever ending

   Deprivation, torment, hopelessness

Starvation, malnutrition, hunger, emaciation

Eating shit, torments and torture, pain and suffering

Shackles, isolation, no one can hear you

   Powerlessness, confinement, misery

Certain death

Watching your family die

Being hated, kept in discomfort, despair

   Pointless existence, no heaven, only hell

Meaninglessness and being kept alive for merciless brutality

Not even God cannot help you

Heaven is being in love (+ basic need met, of course)

     (love-bliss is better than heroin, I think)

Hell is torture (and war)

Afterlife is life, after (but not waking up dead!)

Books

 I've got plenty to keep me busy

Email, backlog of almost 300 (argh).   

About halfway through Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace.  Others by DFW: The Broom of the System; Oblivion; Girl With Curious Hair; Consider the Lobster; The Pale King; A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again; Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.  

All of Thomas Pynchon:  Gravity's Rainbow; Inherent Vice; V. ; The Crying of Lot 49; Slow Learner; Vineland; Mason and Dixon; Against the Day; Bleeding Edge.

2 books of trivia, 9 trivia sets, and the online J! Archive (Jeopardy);  12 masd books (martial arts, self-defense); A collection of joke books (15);  3 reference books:  Chamber's Dictionary, Atlas, NYT General Encyclopedia of Knowledge;  A book of 10,001 songs (I use in conjunction with my Amazon Echo, and music subscription);  6 books from the Best American series (essays, non-required reading, travel writing); And an old KP (Kaiser Permanente) health wise handbook.   Some books about dogs (6).

I have 3 "books of books" (Bloom's canon, 1001 books you must read before you die, 501 must read books).   I want to read the Hugo award winners, and other awards, like Newbery, or Bill Gates' recommendations.   I like authors like Lev Grossman, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and want to read all of their stuff.  Online stuff like Ted videos, Joe Frank radio shows, a dog-training Masterclass, and YouTube (ridiculousness, magic, parkour, masd, occasional Catholic Mass) all are there, "waiting patiently for me."   

In addition to News (kindle NYT and Economist, and 1440 (email), and Echo's (audio) 'flash briefing.'  I like to read the Today in History (on Wikipedia, Brittanica, Book of Days, and DK History channel book).

No dogs, this weekend.  But always busy.   Busy, busy!  Early to bed, early to rise.

I bought candy (almond kisses, twix, butterfinger) ; put my address on the Nextdoor treat map; and have a skeleton tie, from my dad; a Mexican-style skull (I've been trying to shoot nerf darts into the eyes); and creepy music (like 'goodbye horses') I can play, but the sound doesn't reach the door very well, from my room.  HH, Boyz n' Ghouls!  My cousins usually have fun costumes, the pics of which are anticipated every year, and my 2 nephews are race car drivers (Mario and Luigi), and astronaut/cat;  my friends Sara and Pierre and their 2 kids were all exposed to covid, so they're quarantined, and can't trick-or-treat this year :-(.    Augie was going to be a skeleton.  Hugo just took some baby steps.  I don't have a costume, other than some devil horns and a somewhat creepy cirque du soleil mask I found.  I also have a black Liquid Death T-shirt, and a newsboy hat someone said reminds them of AC/DC.  My cousins are a knight, a sorceress, a scarlet dragon, and pegasus.  I also know someone going as a mushroom.  My landlord's parents don't approve of jack-o-lanterns, I think.   Ha.  Weird world.

Candace and John say,  'and' candy brands:  ben and jerry's.  M and M's.  good and plenty.  mike and ike.   now and later.

Post script, postscript:  Not even one trick-or-treater, this year.   I sat on my porch for 3 hours.  I read my kindle, which is ideal, in the dark.  I listened to a little halloween theme music on headphones on my portable fm radio, tuned to kalx.  Maybe because it's Sunday, with school tomorrow.  They should make it always on a Saturday or something.  Well, more candy for me.  The only Halloween thing that happened was I swatted a spider on my chest.  And I gave candy to a roommate.  

Whorer Horror

Ore were (mind mined)

Whorer and Whore roar

Terrific horrific, scientifically satanic, and love of evil

A day in the life of Diabolos, or -us, if you like

A night of death!

Sic my demon dogs, hounds of hell, on the vulnerable, the suicidal.   The deluded and well-meaning christians who think they’re going to heaven and, of course, the wicked.   I’m not entirely evil!  These monsters swarm as a pack, rip off your throat, and fight over your flesh!   Delightful creatures, these beasts.  I helped train them, myself.

Those who survive (very few), I gladly scoop up for my side gig -  Of slow torments and torture.   I record their screams.  Always a blast.   I have some very good ones.  My halloween records should make a killing!

And I have wonderfully delicious brain candy, made from Real Brain!  I sweeten them with sweethearts.   Lovers love them.   Meaty treats I feed my family, good for fiends of any stripe!

Well, I must be going.  I’m having an old friend for dinner.  No, just kidding.  I DO like that line, though.  I’m having my worst enemy.   Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, they say.  My stomach is about as close as you can get, right?

Have a nice day.

God, Morality, and Religion

God

Reality is all the God there ever is.   God=universe.

God is love.   God is one.   God is a man of war.  God is good.

Reality has lots of gods, or virtual reality, anyway; 

YHWH, Allah, The Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), Ra, Quetzalcoatl

Brahma-Siva-Vishnu, avatars, Hanuman, Ganesha, Krishna

Shangdi, Baha, Waheguru, Ahura Mazda

I suppose it’s all me, if I want God to exist.

The source of all goodness. 

Take charge! Make your own life good.

   I forgot Zeus.  Jesse translates to Jesus (hey Zeus)

   Teshara has Ra, Ara, Hara, Shara, and Eshara!

        Also, avalokiteshvara, and See (from Jesse/see s.j.)

Morality

Good, not bad.

Ha.  That’s really all that can be said.

Religion

Worship of the One.

My cock.  Jesus Christ.  2,5.  

Community, and cum unity

Bdsm, buddha, dharma, sangha, maitreya

  omg, and the hole (holiest of holies)

The absolute Truth:

Rat a tat tat, the sound of my gat

Being and nothingness

Existence and oblivion, nihility, dead eternity

Here for 120 years, say - then, gone

Believe whatever you want, 

Delusion and ignorance are nearly universal

a multiverse of psyches, universities, and selves

  me, myself, and I; ego, id, superego; roles, personalities, no-self

 

(delusional) Things like

souls, heaven, immortality, rebirth, and sanity

As if anyone is truly sane

Ha.   The world is nuts.

Maybe a tear is in order.

Write my way to a sane universe.  Right?

It’s all good, says the devil

Or the Pope !

   (Jesuits "try and see God in all things")

I think the Flying Spaghetti Monster is good.

Life is good.  Death is good, too.

Heroin heaven.  Death as an end of suffering.

Unless I’m dead wrong.

The good life is survival and reproduction

With enough money for basic needs, comfort

relaxed, content, satisfied, meaning and purpose, a hobby

Read, watch, listen, eat, exercise, sleep, write, talk, create

Work, play.  Be prepared.  Stay safe.  Live long and prosper.

Smile, laugh, happy, positive, joy, bliss, cheer, fun, games

humor, comedy, satire, jokes, standup, entertainment

Healthy, strong, fit, well; go to bed tired, wake refreshed

Our Nada

 I am an annihilationist.  I did not realize the name for it.  Death is final and there is no rebirth.  But I’d be happy to be reborn in “heaven.”   Will I die with an open mind?  Or with hope?  Does it even matter, my final state of mind?  I think not.   I don’t believe in “souls.”   Maybe computers will have some way of preserving mind, by the time I die, though, no?   Lifespan, a bridge (span) between pre-existence and post-existence, which can be thought to be the same thing, the same state, the same nihility, nothingness, no-self.   Oblivion, fated for all.  I think this is fairly obvious, actually.   Alright?  Afterlife is just life, after you’re dead.  The world doesn’t end when you do, you know!  Life goes on.  Your dna will persist, maybe, through children, somewhat.  That’s as far as it goes.  And things like blogs!  I guess this means I believe that the Buddha wasn’t in fact enlightened.   Samsara isn’t real, it’s a delusion. 

Path to awakening.   Set an alarm, lol.  Or tell your mom or whatever to wake you up.   Or a rude awakening, by being on autopilot and saying something insensitive to someone who takes offense, or will give you hell.  That’s my preliminary meditation on Awake! (a JW tract, too).   A wake is also a service for the family of the recently deceased.  Or the trail of a boat.  They're calling politically correct "woke" these days, too.

No cruelty, ill-will.  Not a source of suffering (like eating meat).  No lying, rudeness, gossip.  No theft, injury, killling, sex, cheating.  Be conscious, mindful, not absent-minded.  Patient, with willingness to endure hardship.  Insight into non-duality.

Horror

The harm in charm

Sadistic torturer, a twisted serial killer, worshipping Santa Muerte, listening to Slayer, becoming an angel of death, like Mengele, with a nazi nature, a pure psychopath, obeying voices, satan’s slave, but not believing in souls, just the righteousness of blood sacrifice, of all beings, merely things, playthings for his cravings, deeply depraved bloodthirst, red his favorite color, and burning need for toying with victims, like a cat, to see what people are made of, before dissecting them, carving them up, and eating them, shitting them out, like the carnivorous worms they all are, slain for karmic retribution, at the hands of Death, the agent of fate, bringing them to an early oblivion, putting the laughter in slaughter, the fun in funeral, the eat in death, the sorry in misery, and the hatred to those in red hats.  Fuck those bastards.  Turds, the word.  The devil is just God, drunk, released from inhibition, realizing the gangster’s motto of “it’s all good”, and visiting hell upon those without the faculty of critical thought, stupidly submitting to his charms, and answering his prayers for prey.  Pro-death beats pro-life every time, and demons possess the supreme power in the universe, he knows.  He gains power with every kill.  He will only die after the last victim succumbs, a suicide by apocalypse.  Then, only then, will the world be made right.  Savagery, cruelty, and brutality are his bliss, his hiss, his twisted fist.   The world will die a horrible, painful, slow, and deserved death, which of course is the will of the Supreme lord, Himself, ruler over hell, his guide and master,  with him, in him, and through him, at every step of the trail of tribulation, vicious vengeance visited on the violent, just desserts, so sweet, so delicious, so much the icing on the cake of malice, justice, and delightful diabolical depravity.   The wicked and worthless get their due.  He is a servant of God.  God Himself, a higher power, playing God, if God is merely a role, anyway.  He makes the concept real.  Royally real.  He wrote the book, put the wicked in the wikipedia of evil.  The west is aptly named: wicked, evil, sinful, turpitude.  But nobody else is any better.  He hates himself, but wants to enjoy life, a thrill he can only get from more and more victims, people like himself, whose evil he can extinguish, one body at a time, until his service is no longer required, and merciful death comes for he himself, finally, at last, after the holy holocaust has been happily hellped into all these mindless cows who think they’re going to heaven.  Ha.  Urged on like the dark steed, to the way of Yahway, yah!  Onward, christian soldiers, to hell with the heathen, make the pagans pay.  Nobody is innocent.  No one deserves mercy.  All deserve death.  The dark side of the force is omnipotent.  Nothing can stop him.  He is the greatest power in the universe.  Let the bloodletting begin, be gin, be Jinn, and commence.  Come, mensch.  All ye bugs, vermin, insects, like flies to shit.   Down the tubes with you all!

A saintly rebuttal

All we are saying, is give peace a chants

Loving-kindness, joy and laughter, compassion and bliss, and yes, even forgiveness, are far more powerful than any of your mean, bullying torments.  Justice is in the hands of a loving deity, not a wrathful demon, and your cruelty will not go unanswered or ignored.  True love always wins, if not in this life, then in the next.  Heaven is real, and your hell will be mercifully extinguished, so you can be Gratefully Dead, and no longer a threat to peace-loving folk everywhere.   Animals do indeed deserve respect, but nature does not demand universal oblivion - meat is pleasing in the eyes of God, and a necessary part of the world’s order.  You need to experience the love of a good woman, my friend, a delight that far surpasses the joy of any blood-spattered ending, righteous or otherwise.  The world is good, caring, filled with mercy and charity and love and hope and goodwill and peaceful intent.  If you can’t make the world a better place, you’re a part of the problem, not the solution.  Just believe in the infinite goodness of God, and his mercy, who never fails to answer the prayers of those who love and serve him, and can forgive even you.  God bless.
