You then can't say one did not choose to be born in this 'recurrence'. _________________ [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]"ἐδιζησάμην ἐμεωυτόν."

You then can't say one did not choose to be born in this 'recurrence'. Perpetual pleasure becomes numbness - from your frame of reference. You are a Human. You also live an environment of chemical toxins, specifically tainted water. I have decided to put an end to my quest to destroy the universe, for the time being, at least. I have researched James S. Saint's theories, and though he was wrong about relativity, his affectance theory makes a little sense, which would indicate the universe cannot be destroyed, at least not without resorting to strange means. My quest to destroy the universe, is on the bottom of the list, but still, on the list. Your topic on Crucifixion is very illuminating. I always viewed the human species with disdain, but the information brought me a clearer depth of understanding. It is my belief that the human species is entirely unsalvageable. At one end, we have a race of ancients, such as Jews and Romans, who live organically. A teeming mob. On the other hand, you have a legion of chemical concoctions, specimens, believing that their defections are their crowning achievement. A teeming mob. The talking heads are one and the same, always have been. Our spirits have been the same throughout time, always outsiders, speaking the voice of reason, that only a few will hear. The mob has always been present, our eternal nemesis, but now they are in greater number. The last chance of the human species...is to change it's DNA... |
