Coincidence … The word we use when we can’t see the levers and pulleys.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

H.P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

What people don’t seem to recognize is that ‘reality’ doesn’t necessarily map onto the findings of science. This is not to say that the universe as described through scientific principles is not factual - it usually is. However, it is incomplete. It is my belief that there is more than this universe, and people can and do travel into these realms. For some people, reality includes not just the screaming abyss, the horrible nightmare, and the demiurgic machine, but places of spiritual rest, vivid attainment, and absolute oneness. The modern laser focus on scientific materialism distorts the reality of normal people into accepting a form of frightening powerlessness, and most of those who escape this do so by rejecting science. The answer lies in allowing physics to be but one aspect of an infinitely greater metaphysics.

^Well said.

Simple moments are something I find very rewarding and peaceful. They help me calm and make better sense of all the unkown around me.

This is why I prefer Philip K. Dick to Lovecraft, though I worship Lovecraft’s command of the written word and his ability to create truly alien beings and worlds.

Someone that understood, cool. There are so many things in existence that happen due to this simple ritual. It’s sad and scary at the same time.

Not clear as to what’s happening in your life at the moment JF, you have just vented an issue, if you still feel the same after X-amount of days, don’t feel ashamed to ask for help.

I don’t think I could ever publicly reveal stuff here because it would probably get used against me in the name of humor by some. Privately, maybe. Thank you Solo.
