Life is infinitely questionable
    #7146536 -

ALIEN
Ever get that feeling that all life just seems so damn alien; both literally and figuratively; that perhaps life itself is just a mere disease, ever-reaching and surviving; bacteria, to put it simply. Look closely at any form of life and it appears to resemble a spiderweb-like array of creation. The similarities are unmistakable and yet we are so different. We know nothing about ourselves or about the life around us and I fear that we will never know. Perhaps the true moment of recognition will only arrive at the film's conclusion; after the credits have rolled. Even then its hard to stay and wait.

TIME
I've heard a number people say that time is infinite and defined by this moment right now; this moment that stretches on forever with no past or present, but what if its the other way around. Life is just a long series of memories. There is no present or future, just what you already know and its been going on forever.

THE YIN AND THE YANG
I feel this is the most misunderstood spiritual concept in the universe. It is much deeper and enlightening than one could ever grasp and yet it is so simple, that everything and I mean everything has a direct opposite force. The most prevalent example is perhaps good versus evil. Common understanding of religion pins God against the Devil; two opposing forces that have been battling it out since the beginning. This is somewhat accurate but the real truth is that the Devil is not a separate being or entity but a part of God. This is what is hard to believe, that the Devil himself is God and God himself is the Devil. The true battle between good and evil lies within; within all of us. That is yin and yang; two forces within the same action, not two opposing actions as many believe.

-"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven."
Ignore this

Can reality be anything other than paradox? I like to imagine that when we die we get all the "answers".. but again with the paradox, and again.

Maybe some of the answers lie in DMT. I haven't had a DMT trip but I'd like to.

The problem is, this concept of 'you' is so infinitely questionable.

Ya know, it is.

I think the greatest problem is that this Christian religion wants to believe their diety favors them in some way. So when a loved one dies and whatever or if someone remarkably is saved(their life and/or religiously) that they see it as God's hand or jesus bla whatever. i'm generalizing. But thing I think is hilarious is how people treat this 'God' as a 'glorified man' who has a personal relationship with them and so on. while one could view it this way, i'm a skeptic and think God shouldn't be so selfishly looked at and that you remove all these Christian exceptions and you have a broader definition of God, or what a lot of people would call Tao. Or better yet, the Way of Nature.

Christians say there's the Heaven and Hell.. I don't really believe in that, maybe a spiritual realm, but I'll find that out later. This whole idea where we dub something Good then there must be a Bad is ludicrous. There's plenty of organisms on this planet that essentially sustain life, help recycle, and so on that without them we probably wouldn't be here. Yin and Yang is the best way to look at it. And yeah it's a difficult concept for some to grasp in a practical sense. Anyone can say, "oh yeah balance," but to see it in life/nature is amazing to me. I feel textbook christians lack this ability to see past the Good/Evil and see everything as So.. Yin + Yang = So

Anyhow yeah, dance with this shit and rest when you're tired. It'll take care of you if you let it.

Do you view everything through the lens of Christianity?


--------------------
:redpanda:
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

well, it seems like a majority of the people here have views bias to being against christianity as they have been affected by.. well Christians, as it seems to be the major religion that feels it needs to spread the word of God.

I mean, I'll be a bit more vague for ya and substitute Christian with relgious extremists, because that would be more accurate. Yet, there's more christians talking shit to people rather than Krishnas singing songs and cooking food for people.

I mean, unless you see differently...

Hmm.. paradox is resolved through unity. We are all united through infinite intelligence. Become the infinitely questionable (unite with the mysterious/infinite intelligence) and you will become the infinite answer.
