Existence

It is an art to perish.

To cease to be in being or in the mind of family and friends, to painstakingly subtract one’s essence from the universal map, scratch, you are not here, sniff, you are not here, search, no one found. Who were we searching for? What was it that was lost, nothing is missing, everything is well, search for what?

The universe never forgets shadows, it may forget you, it may forget your feet and your legs and your torso, and more it may, and want to do so, forget your calumnious brain, but the universe will always be able to trace its own composition from shadow habitations, everything that exists is supported by the souls that perish.

Existence imagines the future but its guidance is not vision but history, and the problem with history is that it retards the future, but history is the only knowledge of the present; even the present is an unknown, only the future will know us truly as we are; we don’t exist now, won’t exist till then and then we will be dead.

Samba dancing the body relishes the taste of, red wine, (only red wine,) tomatoes, avocados, garlic, (garlic is an entire food group,) olives, wasabi and red hot chili peppers are as close as we can experience the joys of hell, avocados are a thousand symphonies or/and oral sex; wine seductress immaculate, never to bleed, always to pronounce lip bleeding, repeat after me, “My lips indiscriminately bleed.” Is bloodletting a wine? No. Bloodletting is the joy in pouring a wine. Surely you are aware that the cork is pricked with salivating joy? I forgot cheese and mushrooms to irritate you. Prick me with your soul.

“I am going to be something some day!” Sure whatever you say. Game time: I will let you think on your own if you want to; go ahead try it you might like it; but you can’t try to be something and think at the same time, sorry. If you want I will even make it easy for you to think on your own.

Just follow these easy instructions:

Murder for your country. Eat cereal for breakfast and dine out more than once a week. Pay your taxes. Visit church on Sundays. Read the headlines. Have opinions with academic approbation. Watch a movie. Study and Work hard. Never be happy with yourself, constantly ask yourself: How can I improve? How can I be more intelligent, more rich and more happy? Let us take a break now for I am exhausted with boredom, meanwhile you can watch a national sport of your choice, and hey have yourself a beer. More free thinking after these commercials from our sponsor.

I did not add, to my thinking exercises, that you ought procreate because once you have children they are the cause; you are merely the one that has to react and suffer the effects of their, thinking that they think. You and I know, that they will not really be thinking until they follow all of the above listed steps.

Statistics consistently show that over one million people in the world think that they are free. Angels are free to be good too, they are just not allowed to be bad. But why would anyone want to be a REBEL in heaven, specially after what happened to Beelzebub.

And deus commanded the angels: “Go forth and think what you will, and say what you will, and do as you will.” And the angels accepted that as the providence of god, more REASON to have almighty faith.

I like devices that have power buttons, gauges, you know things that I can control with my hands. This is false.

There will be a class on reprogramming later. Reprogramming, for those that don’t know, is what you have to do when you don’t get it right the first time. Most people spend their lives reprogramming themselves. For example: the bible is a debugging book that allows you the freedom to be self correcting. To reprogram yourself according to the master plan, which was corrupted by YOUR limitations and YOUR freedom of choice. Lack of built-in safety features, if god had to do you over again there would be fuses, set to go off at the slightest touch, all around your erogenous zones; which we now sinfully know as erroneous zones. A simple typo can cause a creation to go awry. “Don’t touch me there!” would have more merit if we weren’t busy performing a search algorithm for erogenous zones. False Positives as feedback also cause a problem for god’s creations, “No don’t… oh god…” can sound like “…yes more… you are almost there… hold a steady course…” and so on, false positives can lead to date rape, a simple misunderstanding of god’s programming language, due to a human preference for the spirit of the words not the letter of the word. Hence the reason why there are so many interpretations to the testament of debugging.

“Existence is a distasteful art.” “Is that really your soul’s judgement?” “Yes, that is why I attend church.” But all that is nonsense church is not a metaphysical escape, church is like golf, a place you go to do something boring so that you can meet potential business associates. Church is for the here and now, cash today. Amen. Next.

Are you bored? Let me just answer that for you: If you are the fortunate citizen of one of the top ten economies, or call them nations of the world, you are by association bored, very bored. If you are living in a developing country, you are on your way to boredom, though right this very instant your struggle for survival in a third, or almost second world economy, forbids you the recognition of your old new boredom. Boredom is the leading cause of tragedy, war, bad political decisions, affairs, and the leading cause of laws, laws are created because we are bored, bored stiff. Headlines are created to arouse us from our boredom. You can admire yourself for being truly bored if you know all the fine places to dine, are a wine connoisseur, and have time to go to the doctor when you have the flu. You are really bored if you think that gambling is fun, and you are bored galore if you think that you can learn how to have sex from a therapist or a book. If you see a therapist, a psychologist, or if you can afford a psychiatrist, in any order, you are suffering from a case of severe boredom; there is no cure for you, you are really sick, and if you happen to find yourself while undergoing therapy, the world will suffer for it.

“Am I bored?” Well how dare you ask me that question, definitely I am bored. Every thought, and every idea, and every invention has been thought, invented or experienced by somebody else, I am just a non participant in this civilization, of course I am bored.

Boredom, is the leading cause of heart disease. Boredom is the leading cause of drug abuse. Boredom is the leading cause of white collard crime. Boredom is the leading cause of all circus and sports attractions. Boredom! Our entire modern civilization is bored with its existence!

Why? No magic.

…one moment please.
