DMT & YOU

"For further information, consult your pineal gland."

(Today's second quote has been dramatically chopped down due to tl;dr. For individuals who want to know the full story- and I strongly suggest that each of you do- we're going to reference to pages 7, 8, and 9 in the Principia Discordia (originally written in 1965).)

They know things, somehow, they call it Knowing Without Knowing. The information is just there. It's called intuiton. And impulse. However, the monks also have discipline and awareness enough of themselves and those around them to choose whether to act or to not.

You sound very young, or at the least, very immature. In another entry, you claim the worst punishment would be solitary confinement -- YOU sound like an attention whore. Makes me wonder why you're so forgiving of your ex, her problems aside -- how many times did you cheat on her?

And Your Ego is NOT everything that is Who You Are. Your Ego is just the devil in your head that says you deserve everything that's coming to you. Good or bad. Self-esteem is also a factor.

Maybe you need to actually experience evil, or become evil yourself, before you go about denouncing its existence. But, the devil likes you to denounce his existence. It's how he has control over you. I'm not trying to spout rhetoric. I'm still not particularly sure about the existence of God or heaven and hell, but evil, most definitely exists. I don't like the "nature" or "nurture" excuses or "the devil made me do it" for criminal actions. Everyone has free will. I use the devil analogy as just that -- an analogy. It's just another identifying symbol for a particular concept. Maybe it's because you grew up thinking the world was black and white that you rebel against it now, I never knew that. I had vague ideas about good and evil, they sounded kind of the same. It wasn't until I experienced both -- on both sides, that I discovered the differences.

Even animals will occassionally behave unusually from their respective natures. No chemical imbalance, or any true threat, just sudden, inexplicable evil. Even revenge and petty segregation (unfortunately, few will admit that animals have such motivations). Most scientists will chaulk this up to "natural selection", but any human that acts according to these laws is identified as cold and uncivilized. Why are animals held to a different standard? You said yourself they shouldn't be.

I am very young and immature.

In another entry, I paraphrased something Joe Rogan once said about how solitary confinement is the worst punishment. I took no credit for this statement. ;)

The point is you identified with it. I am well aware most of these "ideas" are not your own. I can forgive being young. I'd give anything to be young and innocent and not know human evil again.

People whose minds are twisted with rage and hate, these are people who've been subjected to so much pain in their life that they begin to associate pain with happiness, pain with pleasure. And in their backwards way, they're just trying to manifest Positivity... Only it's Poisoned Positivity. It's not that they mean to; that's just the way their brain has been rewired. Oftentimes these people also associate kindness with the intention to stab someone in the back. This makes these people incredibly hard to deal with; they're afraid of people who are nice to them, and only trust people who see the world in their same, damaged way. They're not evil at all. They're just deeply scarred. They're hysterical with fear. Think of a wounded cat which bats its claws at every helping hand trying to bring it to healing.
I once said to an old friend "You're a bad person trying to be good."
He told me I was right.

A so called "bad person" can be trying to be good, out of what some might call desperation. Wouldn't call that person bad. There are lots of "good people" that do really bad (or more often just stupid) things. That's just human. I hope your friend understands that.

It's those who knowingly set aside what is good (or make absurd rationalizations) for selfish and self-serving desires that makes a person "evil". Evil people never try to be good, unless to manipulate, and even then, there's an ulterier motive. Good never has an ulterier motive.

I notice you like quotes.

In response to those posted, one, I'll reply with another quote,
"IT'S A FRIKKIN BAG FLOATING IN THE WIND!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW COMPLEX YOUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS?!!"

Okay, and as to the Tool quote, while capital punishment always makes me a bit uneasy, death of others always does -- on some level. But I don't really believe in empathy either. Atleast, not most of the people who claim to be empaths. It's called intuition. Everyone has it. However, intuition only knows what it has managed to learn, or wants to. Some "empaths", I've found to be basically good but somewhat naive. Others, terribly dangerous and manipulative. Naivety might be there too, but the level of perversion of their actions determines their "level of evil". To borrow from the pop-psychological phrase.

Okay, end tangent. Um, Tool quote, yeah, that entire quote is true. Whether you agree with it or not. Usually karma comes back, but someone has to be responsible for bringing evildoers to justice. I'm kind of a big fan of public humiliation and in extreme cases, exile or a swift, unmerciful death. I would only show mercy considering a person's age or legitimate mental disabilities. I could never be a judge.

There are of course other ways one can be crucified without being killed. Death of course would be the extreme, but any selfless act of sacrifice will work too. Not cutting oneself off, or self-inflicted exile, this is fear, but responding to desire, and exposing oneself, mistakes, evils, and all.

Since you like pop-culture references, and because it was the first thing that popped into my head when I thought of exposing yourself, think about Freddie Prinze Jr. at the end of She's All That.
