Distraction

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons

I love Albert Einstein. He was such an incredibly wise person. You should check out the World Pantheist Movement if you haven't already.

[wallacebizbot]

Yeah. Most people arent as familiar with his philosophy, but that's what I love him for.

I always look for nice language to improve my poetic view of humankind. It feels nice to be the one who awakens to hope around all these dismal cons in every which Cell Block. But such is the prison and, as expected, they all believe they're innocent and the others guilty. Then comes the hatred, whether of gender, race, religion, or even political affiliation. But at least I know I slept well and an upright to the task of negotiating my way through the misfit scum waiting in ambush to accuse me

Well, just because people dont understand it doesnt mean its not true. Just because we cant percieve it, doesnt mean it's not there.

Are you by chance insisting you've plugged in to a "higher consciousness" and that as a consequence you feel you know the truth of all truths? In either event there's nothing there "self-evident".

Unless you have faith. But when it comes to truth you don't need faith. You need faith to deny the truth.

Do you include yourself among the faithful?

Put another way, even rocks are elemental. How much truth or insight to you get out of that in connection with your damn near theistic view of Mars and grapes?

Oh, and by the way: let your landlord know how you feel about your newly found relationship to the eager necessity of oneness.
