Enough guilt to start a religion

Hard nod to Tori Amos in the title there.

Reading back over my morning post, I realized that, yes, I have enough going on in my head/soul/quantum reality, that I could write one of these myriad ‘self-help’ books that are so all over the place. And a new one every month,,, And next year, there will be a new grand name that sells a million books in one month and everyone thinks ‘this time, I got this,,,,”

Yeah,,, Got enough guilt, to start my own religion,,,,

One reason I have been enjoying Jordan Petersons work is in his use of the bible, the oldest ‘self-help’ book (still in circulation so to speak) I like his interpretations of things, versus the evanglical “ONE WAY< THIS WAY<NO OTHER or you’ll burn in hell” take on things. Sorry,,, words have meanings, and can be interpretted many ways, and sometimes a deliberate omission is more damning than a mistranslation. Of which there are many in the KJV,,(the goto version on these shores )

Now, my ‘religious’ side is quite odd, but then, I am quite odd,,, I don’t go into it much here, though more here than elsewhere as this is my catharsis site. And I don’t expect anyone else to take it to heart when I do discuss it. It’s just my formulation that doesn’t create dichotomies, or conflicts inside me. It’s been borrowed and quite literally stolen from every danged ‘religion’ I have studied: some from Christianity(ethics) some from Buhdism (afterlife) even quantum mechanics (afterlife/overlife) and more. I then toss it all into a blender and see what comes out the other side. And there are always new ingredients being added as I learn more and more.

The deeper you look, the more you will find me.

Thats a bible passage though I don’t know if its verbatim or paraphrased, but it IS the one passage that comes to mind when you start looking into Quantum mechanics and how most EVERY Scientist that jumps on that bandwagon, becomes ‘Born again’. (don’t believe me, look into it, you’re in for a shock,,,) It’s a lot of why I started believing that we are only,,,, stop, let me explain the “we” part first. we= what we percieve as us on THIS plane of existence,,,, It’s a lot of why I started believing that we are only AVATARS of ourselves, and the REAL us exists in the Quantum cloud. This avatar is only capable of so much retention and processing so our true memories are locked away from it. Those that have acheived ‘messiah’ status in history were able to access more, MUCH more of that cloud and that brought them to their ascension points, be it peaceful or violent.

BUT,

WE are all a part of that Cloud, be it a quantum cloud, or what some call GOD, (we were all created in his image,,, right? )

This is a simulation, for entertainment, for education, for self-fulfillment, whatever you need it to be. Re-read that. WHATEVER YOU NEED IT TO BE. The rules are simple, Improve yourself,

And know, that no matter what your self-image, the rest of the world sees it differently. EVERY. TIME. and there are as many translations of you as there are people that observe you. Reality is internal, make it what you want, the rest of the world will interpret it however they see fit and you have no say in that.

I like Elon Musk. Here I get another chancce to ‘prove a point’ using his personna. So many people see him as ‘the wealthiest man in the world” or some such. Some see him as a greedy capitalist. Some see him as a scammer of Tax revenues in government kickbacks.

Some people have good views of him, some negative, but everyone that knows his name has an “impression’ of him. And they are all ‘right’ and completely ‘wrong’ at the same time. Oh, there may be a bit of truth in each view, but its only a grain of sand that makes up the whole pile.

What I see is a man so intensely focused INWARD on his dreams, that his visions percolate outward and effect the rest of the world. I see a man that spent 2(3?) years sleeping on a cot on the production floor of his factory, to make sure HIS vision was pushed out correctly. I see a man that looks to the skies as ONE solution to the many things that ail this planet (IE US,,) and while he may not get there himself, IS trying to create something that will propel us outwards. (DD Harriman-esque for the Heinleinians among my readers)

When I saw Elon tell the world “go fuck yourself. if you think you can blackmail with money, GO! FUCK! YOURSELF! I hope thats clear enough,,,” I loved it. The man can’t be bought now,,, his DREAMS are too real, they have become self-sustaining.

And his enemies can’t see that because they are focused on what they want reality to be, not realizing that reality isn’t. They can’t see that each of us IS a reality unto itself and we only borrow from others as needed to ease the passage along. You can NOT, SHOULD NOT, attempt to push YOUR perceived reality on others as thiers: its wasteful of your time and energy, its never acccepted well, and its just down right fuckin’ rude as well. Polity is the grease that keeps things civil in a cloud of chaos. Present your vision and let others adopt or reject as they see fit. If your vision only gets rejection, maybe you need to reassess it,,,,

Perfect is the enemy of GOOD

Don’t try for perfection. just be the best you can be, and strive for a little better, everyday. Doesn’t matter if you are a burn-out meth-head starting over, or Elon Musk at his peak. A little better than yesterday, every day. Kindness carries further than anger (though anger can carry you quite a ways,,,with a high price) One day at a time. Its what we have: the future is an illusion we write on, but there are other authors writing it too.

One day at a time,

keep on livin’

Go kayaking, get wet

write your world with all greenlights

Don’t worry about happiness, find joy where you are and work to grow THAT. Learn to not Give a fuck.

see, all those self help books,,, they percolate the same damned message.

BE YOU AS GOOD AS YOU CAN BE
