I've been thinking of times which might release me from my remedies. Memories of old and bold, the reflux of generative gaps now moving for the very first time. My demons remind me of my angels, but nothing is strange. All this place becomes is home before it drifts away forever into nothingness. Like Bauilliard's simulacra and simulation, the maps that have replaced reality is reality itself. That exchange is a transaction of human souls in return for a life on Earth, a term and condition accepted as a being in a simulated universe.
I live in a time of wine and mental slavery. The wine I find in the grape I consume, the slavery in the human consumed by ancient, expiring truths. I tell you of Christ and you tell me of the bible, as though the two are the same thing. The latter has immortalised the former, a simple man, who in term has made the latter quite famous. Nowhere else is a documentary equivalent to its subject. Only J.K Rowling knows the truth about Harry Potter. Everything else is entertainment and we only see everything else. In truth, we see immediately that entertainment is a hindrance. To love it enough to state it as a crucial prospect of life is to be enslaved by it. A thousand shelves can never carry the reality available to you in a second. If you've tried to understand this life, that should put you right. You can spend your entire life documenting the happenings within a second and your afterlife editing those happenings - your next life will be but a simple refinement of that first draft that you authored with your actions in the previous one. All things, even the imagined things believe they truly exist.
There are proletariat in the mental state as well as the financial state. They are not conscious, except of those mundane performances of life that say morality, reproduction, survival and I. Their morality is always under threat. Their reproduction carries expensive consequences. Their survival is just that, a life purely lived to survive.
I is the most interesting of these. Identity is not taught but it may be replaced and clever governments have a very subtle way of doing so. We have people who see what isn't there, who talk to themselves the way most talk to an intimate friend, others whose minds tune into different frequencies simultaneously, yet regardless of it all, there is no one who lacks the identity of self. Our insanity exists inside the world, as much as our personal identities. The both of them exist side by side, not separate in any physical way but nevertheless distinct. Those who appear insane are led by their insanity as they amble about whereas those who appear sane, those perfect slaves of the system, lead their insanity in such a way as to conceal it. So I tell myself, to be insane is to know that you deserve more from the system. Reality seems to accommodate only a handful of seven billion. This small population, in truth, are the same handful who've had the privilege of having that same figure reflect on their bank statements and pay slips.
Regardless of the amounts of criticism one may face, an insane person knows inherently that he is responsible for his own bondage. Not only that, but to be insane is to know that you are in a kind of bondage. The boxes of slavery are endless. They follow one another like dolls. Coming out of a physical imprisonment you are met by a social imprisonment, a social imprisonment defined by trends, behavioural trends, fashion trends, all borders to a norm met to limit you. That's why creativity is so dangerous and one thing detrimental to creativity is dogma. Dogma is a call centre which promises to have God's personal line. Once convinced that there is someone on the other end, you ultimately begin to invest in airtime. To some the airtime is accepting that a man was nailed onto a piece of wood and with that gesture alone saved the whole of humanity. Another is a creed-exclusive airtime, carried in the genes, carried in the blood, where the culture is the religion and the religion is the dogma. How fantastic, only a select few have access to God's number. That's a whole lot of male-cow excrement! With how personal God is we may all be atheists. Now, an atheist is one who is not satisfied with religion as a moral compass. Makes sense. Is religion really sufficient an explanation for describing life in this century? It is perfectly evident when a science has expired its use, particularly if it was never a science to begin with. Such a science, that responds to authority as much as a true science responds to logic, can only reinforce its own laws by breaking them which is where most religious institutions are at present. Religion, in its time of crisis has become a self-defeating method of inspecting the universe. Like all self-defeating systems, it takes all its members together with itself to the grave. I inherently practice the disregard of belief, why? I feel like I'm signing away my soul every time I reinforce another man's idea of God into my mind and unfortunately religion relies heavily on this self-reinforcement. This act is what I call Regurgitative Simplification. It is when one simplifies oneself through regurgitating social norms, like there is only one body truly living in the world. What governs everybody else is simply a contagion of the acts committed by that one body. Think of a yawn. An example of a well-embedded social norm, a norm that has travelled through many millennia with only a few persons ever defying it, is the Regurgitated simplification conveyed in death. We all follow that social norm and so we all must die. It's so deeply embedded within us that we think it impossible to defy it. An obvious point to raise is, these same religions that praise ascended beings (beings who have escaped death) are the same systems that have reinforced the social norm called death. They use death as a way of reinforcing their teachings, and since they teach morality - in a trivial manner, I should add -they use death to teach morality. How fantastic. "Do not kill," on one side and "We are all going to die," on the other. Hm?
By his disbelief, lack of faith and the likes, an atheist pronounces that religion has expired its use as a moral science because of such devious ploys to convert him/her. Much like how Newtown's laws have forfeited themselves as a guide to gravity under the new weight of General Relativity, religion is facing its death. Not that many people are against it. On the contrary, ex-atheists have converted to some religion or another so their lives may be bearable. They go to church, to mass or a mosque regardless of that part of them that tells them God is but a created idea used to control society. It makes their lives bearable. God was the best idea sold to the poor.
What happens if the poor deny this gift? They cannot. The poor are designed by our system to scavenge. God is designed as a miraculous provider. See my point? For the poor to not fulfil this aspect of their design is to surrender the title of destitution and pronounce their independence, which will never happen because to be poor is to be dependent, by definition.
I announce then that the proletariat of intellect is the worst kind to be. This time around, he is the man who is satisfied with having a job that brings in money, who uses that money to buy different things: women, cars, anything to feed the materialism that imprisons him to the vicious cycle that is but another box in the set of infinite prisons. It is vicious because each of his purchases are designed to make him want more of them. Encoded into every product there seems to be something like a barcode on foods and an isbn on books that says, want us, buy us, over indulge in us. While this man goes on with a life that he thinks he is living out of his own accord (and that is without limits), the royal families of Europe oversee the whole process. How do they rescue the proletariat? They will never. To keep him quiet, they create for him toys, toys which he has to buy with money. The monetary system is the perfect way of keeping tabs on the population. It's not the end. They do not need to put value on money because it's readily available to them. Since they own the right of printing money, a queen with four billion in her bank account can spend three billion in one night and still have four billion in the same bank the morning after. We all have the same privilege except in our case, there is a longer delay and if the money returned is to perfectly reflect the money spent, we must work for it. Do not forget the limit. We only think a billion dollars is a lot because that's the social norm. They could have designed it so that a thousand dollars could buy you an island, but either way the poor would still find it equally as difficult to get to that thousand as they do to a billion and if you didn't know, they already do. Some of them. The proletariat of intellect, whether they earn a good salary or not, do nothing about them because they are imprisoned by an invisible cage called Capitalism. The only thing they can intuit within Capitalism, if they try really hard, is the divide it brings between the working class and the unemployed proletariat. The two are allergic to each other yet they both exist for the same thing, money. The only thing which seems to use money in the interest of the people is science and this points to another thing that the atheist finds wrong with religion, that, in failing as a moral science it has become corruptible. Science is not perfect but science is not set in stone. A logical man can say, fair enough. Your system works, mine doesn't. Religion cannot say it. God is apparently unchanging. Religion may maintain that X is wrong, regardless of the many advantages that come to humanity as performed in X's name. A morality set in authority and not logic is constant and to logic nothing is as constant as change.
Science is adventure. It's the path to the future. It doesn't threaten religion directly. It simply states that this life is not as simple as religion might have it to be. Our purpose? Our purpose does not lie in the present moment. It lies behind the horizon, where the future awaits us. Religion teaches us to walk forward while looking at the past. Science teaches us to walk consciously. Everything we own goes to memory. Everything else is not ours to keep.
