Another Nail in Your Coffin

“C’mon Sage. Bring on the knowledge! More Sage! Make another video!”

Sure. But I really don’t know why you’d want me to keep on going on, talking at length, as it’s only going to cause the walls to close in around you; because the more and more I scrutinize you, and the more and more I analyze and dissect the current situation, the more and more disappointed and disgusted I become, hence, the more and more arduous the inevitable judgement and consequences that will follow. Thus, every word I speak, acts as another nail in the coffin. What, you thought I was finished? Ha. No, my friend. I’m just getting started.

I know that many of you have longed for more metaphysics, and wish that I would resume making more videos concerning those types of aspects, but, one thing you have to come to realize, is that there’s been a dramatic change of season. Most of the content on the channel thus far has mainly been concerned with the metaphysical, and that’s due to the particular phase I was in at the time. It was a period of exploration, profound thought, and shared deep wisdom. Those were the main areas of concern of that era; but recently, however, there’s been a major shift of course, and, subsequently, the area of emphasis has also shifted. And so now, I have moved into a phase primarily concerned with productive destruction. Yes, productive destruction, not nihilism. Whereas nihilism might be construed as illustrating the rationalizations of a sociopath for his abhorrent criminal behaviors; productive destruction, on the other hand, is only concerned with destroying the evil crafts of deception, wherein the motive is always selfless service and magnanimous sacrifice. This is a period where the main area of concern will be deconstructing falsehoods, and tearing down corrupt foundations.

And it’s not that I want it to be this way. I don’t. I’d much rather be speaking on the higher points, and delving deeply into arcane knowledge; but, unfortunately, the current circumstances have dictated otherwise. Instead, I have to set to work, hunting down deceptive ideologies, proceeding to systematically break them down; and, ultimately, stalk and kill them. Rigorous acts of menticide, whereby any and all delusions are susceptible to decapitation on the chopping block. We have to isolate and trap the malignant sociopaths, and strip them down to their raw bones, then rack and shatter those bones down into thousands of tiny little pieces. We have to destroy them, utterly. Yeah, and it’s no big deal at all if a scumbag ends up perishing by the hand of his own stupidity. It’s a completely acceptable loss. It’s effort well worth any blood stained hands; and when it comes to washing away human stains, there is no higher calling.

And this is where some of you may get the idea to raise your voice to speak, and assert an opinion, but I say, while you are free to speak, what you say is totally inconsequential and irrelevant; as, you don’t get to decide anything, and no matter what your theory is, it’s the wrong theory. It’s not about a choice between various options in a world, no. External events don’t happen “out there” somewhere. Decisions are not being made by “others”, sorry. I know you have your little oral fixation thing, but no, sorry; and this is exactly why you are in a position where you need to be informed. The only problem is, your informers are complete liars. So get it straight: everything that happens around here is being imagined into being, and nothing else. So, overall, you really don’t know jack-shit. And since you don’t know, then ASK; instead of always being a nasty little opinionated needle-nosed twit. Shut your fucking mouth up right now, or get a viral payload dropped directly on your bird brained head. Yeah, the coronavirus! This guy thinks it’s from a bat cave, and that guy thinks it’s a leak from a viral lab, but, fuck you both, it’s original source is from nowhere, and it will go and shed wherever the hell it needs to. And right now, your overinflated pretentious head is looking like the best destination.

I mean, the arrogance and disrespect of it all, has gotten completely out of control, and I’m sick and tired of it. Sick and tired of it to the extent that, a lot of you motherfuckers are gonna have to die. Plain and simple. We’ve got no more use for you. You are nothing but a detriment. How dare you speak and act the way you do. Who the fuck’s mind do you think this is anyhow? Yeah, I know. You think you occupy physical space, so it’s no wonder you believe you have some inherent right to position and property. Well, I hate to break it to you jack-off, but you ain’t got an inherent right to jack-shit. You are occupying my mind-space, and as such, at best, you are only a guest here; but I don’t seem to remember you paying any homage, or asking permission to construct your bullshit in my mind.

And I know some of you may say:

“Hey, wait a minute Sage. Slow down. Why is it “your” mind-space? Isn’t this OUR mind-space? How can you lay claim to this? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to describe it as “our mind-space?”

No. Sorry, it’s my mind-space, and no one else’s. And that’s because I decided to take on responsibility for it, when no one else wanted it. The mind-space was essentially an unmanned wheel of a ship, with no captain, aimlessly adrift at sea. So I decided to take on responsibility for the mind-space, and therefore, maintenance of the interior of the mind-space has become my job. So that’s why I have become the main guardian and caretaker of the mind-space, and you, did not. You had your chance to let go of everything, enlighten your mind, and take on responsibility, but you chose to squander that opportunity, and decided to become a lazy ignorant jackass instead. Rather then pursuing the truth, you chose to argue against enlightenment, and continually advocated for staying powerless and ignorant in delusion. Instead, you chose masturbation with a blindfold. Instead, you insisted on constantly giving attributional blowjobs to gods or the universe. So no, it’s too late. No one was interested in uncovering the truth before, so why are you suddenly worried about it now? The only thing you all ever aspired to become, was desire whores and value junkies, trapped in a delusional state of mental slavery; and thus, that’s exactly what you got. So embrace it, and become one with it. You wholly deserve it, and threw away your chance of illumination for it. So now, go ahead and choke on it. Just like I knew you would. Just like a good little jack-ass should.

So, no. You were not yet ready to rise to the occasion. You had your chance, but you hung up your gloves, and threw in the towel. I, on the other hand, was up for the task. I rose to the occasion. I made consistent efforts, uncovered the truth, liberated the mind, and assumed full responsibility for reality. And this is exactly why this whole realm is now considered mine. It is reality that is under my direct purview. This is my mind-space, and you are but a mere guest. An unruly visitor, who is quickly testing the extent of my good graces, and trying the limits of my extreme patience. It’s time for you to get disciplined. And I don’t care about any talk of rights and freedoms. Your rights and freedoms are overrated. You don’t deserve those rights and freedoms, because you are much too immature, greedy and reckless to be trusted with such great responsibilities. So it’s time to take them away from you. And that’s gonna be one of the major ways you will be punished from now on. Things are gonna start being taken away from you at an alarming rate. I know you think you are entitled to them, but I think it’s time for you to lose them. Therefor, things will be taken away. Oh, you are gonna learn, dammit. You are gonna learn big time. You are going to behave.

And speaking of your ongoing disgusting malignant behaviors, from now on, the speed of reaping what you sow, is gonna be swift and heavy. Especially swift. In the past, these things took time. You could always cause delays or create distractions. But no more. Instant immediate justice is now the way of the new current era. And speed is, indeed, of the essence. Such extreme speed that, you will already experience the major impact of your misdeed, by the time you go to bed at night, on the very same day of your imposition. Everything you’ve taken so long to painstakingly build, can disappear faster then gasoline soaked paper in fire.

So remain heedless to your own peril. And yes, you should detect a sense of ominous foreboding in the air; because, at this point, circumstances are not working towards your well being. Yeah, “things” are being orchestrated against you; and there’s so many different ways this can ultimately reach you. Not only through such avenues as a virus, but also through your surroundings, animals and other people. Circumstance itself. And you’d really be amazed about how much can be accomplished with just the simple movements of elements, such as fire, water, rock and air. Oh, there’s just no limits to the many many ways it can get to you.

So this is a fight you can’t win, so go ahead and do your worse. Go ahead and lock and load. Arm yourself to the teeth, hunker down and make your last stand. At the very least, we can starve you out. But, always remember: there are hundreds of thousands lined up, all just waiting to sacrifice themselves for the good cause; and they’ve got absolutely nothing to lose. And that’s exactly how you wanted it. And so now it will, ironically, seal your own fate. After all, YOU are the one always going on about how you have so much to preserve and defend, hence, it’s you who has everything to lose, which, of course, means you are at a serious disadvantage; fighting a lost cause upon a sinking ship. Sometimes, to achieve a moral standard, a price must be paid in blood; and the blood supply of your precious special few is seemingly quite limited, whereas the pool of blood of our righteous warriors is as vast and deep as the ocean itself.

So hey, you know what, it’s no big deal. No one has to do the right thing. No problem. There’s absolutely no pressure. But, just so you know, things are gonna get real tough. I know you can’t help yourself. I know that it’s incredibly hard not to be a toxic selfish arrogant entitled prick. So, know upfront, things are gonna get real tough. And please, by all means, continue to abuse freedoms. Continue to impose your liberty upon others in order to enrich yourself. Just as long as you fully understand, that things are gonna get real tough. And I mean real tough; wherein accomplishing the simplest little tasks in life, will now become monumental enormities.

But you LIKE the simplest little tasks in life becoming monumental enormities. No no, you LIKE the simplest little tasks in life becoming monumental enormities. You LIKE that. And now, you are gonna get a real good taste of it, real hard.

The Universe Doesn’t Give a Shit About You

You know, one thing that has become seriously irritating nowadays, is this whole “the universe is doing something for you” shtick, that’s apparently become the latest favorite new age meme, currently making it’s rounds on the internets. Take a look at this stuff.

(A variety of examples are shown.)

And that’s just a small sampling. And this isn’t just a case of a few isolated incidents. This type of sentiment is everywhere now; seemingly having become all the rage among many aspiring spiritual truth seekers.

“Depressed? Cheer up. The universe is horny for you!”

By first appearances, making references to the universe seems to reflect a more scientifically based position, although, I don’t think these seekers really mean it in a scientific way. Essentially, these new age universe worshippers are just former theists, who probably finally realized the complete absurdity of that position, and so now, have shifted their heels over to pantheism; that is, a doctrine which identifies god with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of god; which is basically a veneration of nature. And, as we all know, mother nature is pretty much a cold, predatory, discriminating bitch; so I’m not sure why anyone would associate nature with a benevolent god.

I know, god loves you so much, he allows evil to rack you to the core on purpose. It’s a test, right? It’s all part of his divine plan. God just wants to see if you will curse his name when he makes times get incredibly tough. It’s a Job type of deal. He’s forcing you into a position of struggle and suffering, all so he can wage a bet with the devil over whether or not you will be disobedient. Isn’t that just so cool of him? Now you get to show god just how loyal and subservient you are to him, despite all the abuses he hurls at you! That’s such an enviable position! The one true god loves you so much, he tortures you as a demonstration of just how much you worship and obey him. That’s what love is. And just think of how lucky you are! He picked *you* as a guinea pig in his twisted self aggrandizing experiment! He chose YOU! This would make such a great reality TV show!

Heaven and Hell productions, presents...

“The God Fucks Me Factor.”

Ah yes, it would be, so nice. Because god takes great pride in your blind obedience, you know. And he’s a very jealous god, if you can believe it. So what’s going on inside your head is of supreme importance him! You must think that you believe in him, then confess it with thy lips, and then go down, and perform some lip service on the godhead. You should show great pride in being a slave. It’s a feather in god’s cap. And now, can be more fully realized with the advent of pantheism. It’s theism, with a pan. It’s pantheism.

Famous 17th century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza was really captivated by the idea of pantheism, and his many philosophical contemplations on the subject is largely responsible for ushering the position into modern day prominence. Pantheists do not celebrate a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god, but rather, accept all gods into worship, because they view god as everything. An ideological stance that can become quite problematic, to say the least.

Throughout history, pantheism has been a belief system that, in one form or another, tended to be the most common default faith practice among the many various indigenous peoples from around the globe. It’s the same ideologic methodology that the pagans of Europe used to practice; that is, before Rome came along and forced Christianity deep down into every person’s every available orifice. And you should always keep this historical fact in the forefront of your mind. Your Abrahamic belief system is the result of a Roman soldier raping someone’s great great great great grandma and grandpa with a big middle eastern theological strap-on dildo. Don’t you ever forget that. Your whole modern day spiritual life was originally founded on a theological psych-rape. Your precious sacred religion was passed down to you through your family being raped. And it’s no coincidence that Rome, an arrogant empire dead-set on conquering the entire world, found Christianity to be quite compatible with their grandiose ambitions. And that should tell you something about the core fabric of the Abrahamic cult religions.

So, pantheists believe that god is everything. All inclusive, with no exceptions. No standards or filter necessary. This includes every kind of concept; even the stupid ideas and majestic fantasies, floating around inside our heads. And this also includes every kind of object or person to have ever existed, no matter who or what they are. This means they are ALL god, whether it be a virus, a parasite or an infectious bacteria, whether it be a machine gun, cocaine or a dildo, whether John Wayne Gacy, the unabomber or Adolf Hitler, they are all but different forms of an ambiguous enigmatic god! He’s so complex, you can’t even fathom him. He’s got value and purpose so profoundly beyond your puny logic, you can’t even question him.

And not only is every kind of object or person a manifestation of god, but guess what? With pantheism, ALL the different gods, are god as well. It’s not that some gods are valid, and some gods are not, or that maybe all gods are completely full of shit, no! In fact, it actually quite the opposite, I’m afraid. Now, all different gods are actually the one same god. Every so called “god” is graciously welcomed into pantheism with open arms. Whether Yahweh, Zeus, Horace, or the great honorable bull testicle god, all of them are just different manifestations of the one same god!

Yeah. You know, when it gets right down to it, I don’t have any issue with the whole “god is everything”, bullshit, but, uh, to say the least, I think these concepts might be just a little *too* inclusive for most of the population’s tastes. They’re simply not palatable to their delicate tongue’s tender sensibilities, and they therefor much more prefer to perform oral worship on a single god head. Who am I to stop them?

But the concept of a universe is just so much better then a god, isn’t it? Yeah. It’s a better false substitution. The idea of the universe as a higher power is more soothing then the idea of a god as a higher power. This particular surrogate for the truth is just so much more secure and comforting. But in the end, it’s the same exercise. The idea that something ELSE in the field of perception is the responsible agent. In fact, most of this pantheism business just seems to be a matter of replacing the word “god” with the word “universe”, and calling this a new ideological position. Are you confused? Well, worry not! I will gladly give you a little taste, and bestow upon you three prime examples.

Quote:

“Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.”

Lawrence Welk.

Nice. Which now becomes:

“Never trust anyone completely but the universe. Love people, but put your full trust only in the universe.”

Quote:

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Sweet. But could also be stated:

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is the universe’s handwriting.”

Quote:

“Man has to start with something and then develop it - he cannot ever make anything from nothing, only God can do that, and call forth the creation.”

Margaret Weston.

Awesome. But let’s not overlook:

“Man has to start with something and then develop it - he cannot ever make anything from nothing, only the universe can do that, and call forth the creation.”

See how it works? Just about any dialogue about god could still hold water when replacing the word “god” with “the universe.” So it’s really not all that much of a novel position. It’s just a convenient one-size-fits-all philosophical cure-all. An ideological placebo. And I’m not one who is much impressed by Dues Ex philosophy, which is what any type of theology basically is, including pantheism.

For those of you not familiar with the term, “Dues Ex”, it is derived from the term “Dues Ex Machina”, a Greek phrase, which translated means, “a god from a machine”, and is usually employed as a literary device, wherein an explicitly complex seemingly intractable problem in a plot narrative is suddenly inexplicably solved by the addition of an unexpected character, object or situation. Think the eagles coming to save Frodo from uncertain doom in the fiery volcano of Mordor. Basically, it’s a cheap fast way to tie up the loose ends of a difficult quandary. It’s ideological laziness, and quite frankly, has no place in philosophy, in much the same way that theism has no place in philosophy.

And by the way, speaking of the “a god from the machine” thought experiment, it reminds me that, when it comes to gods and machines and ghosts and men, philosophers have gotten the whole thing all wrong all along. A god may emerge from a machine, but if it does, bear in mind that both the god and the machine are equally sourced from the pure mind. And this is the part people just can’t seem to understand. Though-out history, philosophers have always deeply contemplated the idea of “a ghost in the machine”, but that’s because most philosophers think they are a physical creature living in a physical environment. But it’s a huge lie. There is no ghost in the machine. What you actually have, is a machine in the ghost; as, there is no such thing as physicality, and a “deterministic mechanical universe”, is just an abstraction. What you call “physicality”, is a denser mental state; and to attribute this mind-space into an idea of objective locality is just plain falsehood. It’s just plain wrongheaded.

And it doesn’t matter if you include the “self”, as god, because this “self”, is still an attribution. The egoic character that you’ve associated an identity with, isn’t a self, so this is still in the same realm of falsehoods. Illusion is everything on the screen of perception; including the physical body, and all it’s supposed psycho-biological properties. Wherein is any universe?

So that’s pantheism; which, I’m not all that partial towards, due to it’s attributional psychology, which shares the same central backbone as orthodox religion. Why would it be any different with pantheism? The responsibility is still elsewhere, hence the power is elsewhere also; so it matters not that you’ve replaced an anthropological deity with celestial chemistry. Same excrement, different poop chute. And that’s the same reason why, that if a truth seeker were to take a purely scientific position considering the universe, it wouldn’t be all that much different then a theist or a pantheist viewpoint.

“How’s that?”

That’s right, Charlie. As previously stated, a purely cosmological scientific viewpoint; that is, the idea of the universe as some grand cosmic physical context of exterior space consisting of a mixture of different objects and chemistries, is just that: an idea. In other words, also completely full of shit. There is no “universe”, existing, anywhere. And that’s why, the universe doesn’t give it a shit about you. There’s no vibrating strings out there governing some law of attraction that brings forth metaphysical emergent properties when you energetically match a frequency. No. What you really have, is just an IDEA of a universe, which is not really located in a space-time continuum, but, only imagined as a location in a mind-space continuum.

If you can understand this basic fundamental, then you may have finally grasped one of the basic truths of reality.

No Time-Space, Only Mind-Space

So recently, some of you may have noticed, that I’ve started to use a certain phrase; a strange new bit of terminology, that I’ve employed more then a couple of times in the past few videos. And this neologistic nomenclature seems to have piqued a little interest among you; leaving those within you wondering, what could this peculiar designation mean exactly? And this uncertainty has undoubtedly left many of you feeling anxious and watchful. Well, have no fear, the Meta Sage is here. The term in question is: “mind-space.” What is a “mind-space”, exactly? And to what, does “mind space”, apply?

The first outside inquest concerning this matter came about a week or so ago, when a commenter by the name of “The Trickster”, mentioned it specifically. Thereafter, the subsequent comment exchange that followed, served as the inspiration for this current video. But, before we delve right into the thick of the matter, I’ll read the transcript of that comment exchange, as it happened; to both, act as a supplementation to this video, and to hopefully, delineate for you, the basic premise of the subject at hand.

So, here’s the transcript:

The Trickster: You are hanging on to an unfalsifiable narrative that reality is just, as you called it, a "mind-space”, and anyone with differing ideas are lost in their own externalizations, or something. Did I get that right?

Meta Sage: More or less. Nice implication, but the “mind-space” is undeniable because it’s already the case before anyone can think about it. It’s the “space-time” theory that’s a conceptualization, and needs all kinds of explanations and narrative to support it.

The Trickster: Ergo, the mind-space theory is ultimately an unfalsifiable concept you choose to believe. As it can't be properly substantiated or debunked. See, I like you, Meta Sage. I don't dislike the ideas you put forth. But only a sheep refuses to question a particular narrative. And I also like poking holes in a narrative. “Space-time”, on the other hand, can be tested, debated, analyzed without an absolute perception.

Meta Sage: You have the whole thing mixed up, which I noticed last week when we were talking in the comments on the other video. You glossed over what I just said and reaffirmed a falsehood. To move forward, you have to break free from this obstacle; and you can do this more easily by throwing out the old model of reality. Case in point: If we take two people, wipe their minds clean of all memory, then put them together in a room to discuss reality, the “mind-space” is already the foundation of everything, before even one word can be spoken. The context of existence is undeniable, and this is a reality before any debates, tests or analyzations take place. The “space-time”, on the other hand, cannot even be discussed without first learning a whole bunch of things that one then has to assume as reality. There’s a slight difference. You have to be able to discern between reality and abstractions.

The Trickster: Yeah. I won't write a long response. Rather, I'll ask this, why do you assume the idea of a “mind-space” is inherently present in the minds of said individuals you mentioned in your example? If you propose life is a dream, most without some sort of philosophical capacity would just miss the meaning of such an idea. While time itself is experienced by everyone regardless if its an illusory and misunderstood aspect of reality. Most know time is the measurement of events in existence. A mental construct? Yeah. To some extent. But the “mind-space” idea is an abstraction by its very nature. An unfalsifiable idea which only needs one to believe, and no argument posed to it can truly debunk or pick it apart. Just because the mind serves as a useful interface for interacting with and perceiving the world it doesn't automatically mean the mind creates reality. Yes, we are experiencing something. But let's not jump to conclusions. But look, I won't claim to know everything. If I've got things mixed up feel free to correct me.

Meta Sage: Thanks for keeping that so short. Thing is, I don't have to assume an idea of awareness. Awareness is already the foundation. Or, said another way, because there is awareness, abstract aspects like "ideas, concepts and theories", about a so-called "existence", can be formulated. Now keep in mind, when I speak of awareness, I'm not trying to assign it an identity. It's not a consideration of a "me" or "them", when it comes to awareness. There's no "people" existing to experience something, nor any "world", and it certainly isn't a human's mind that is creating anything. Identities are part of the dream. None of this phenomena is your true identity. So the idea is to be able to discern between awareness, abstractions, and dream phenomena. Conflating these aspects is where the confusion arises. It's the context within the field of dream phenomena, that I call the “mind-space”, and this is to clarify the fact that it isn't a physical location. "Physical locations" are ideas formulated about a purely mental phenomena. As is "time" also. These are all just ideas about illusion. Only awareness is reality.

So, that was the exchange. And so now, I’d like to expand a bit more on the subject, and really try to make things nice and sparkling clear. In a sense, this particular teaching could be considered one of the core foundational principles of Pure Potentialism. If one can manage to grasp this essential teaching, much of everything else will fall into place a lot more easily. Simply put, one of the core principles of Pure Potentialism is that the context of experiential reality is the mind, not physical locality. This is what is meant by “mind-space.” The apparent “space” that things seem to occupy, is made out of pure mind, not made out of objective materiality.

Sounds easy enough, but it’s actually rather difficult to realize; as the idea of materiality is ingrained deeply into people’s minds unconsciously, so maintaining crystal clear clarity will be a very strenuous mental effort to undertake; and, to top that off, people don’t find any ego gratification in this, thus, are generally dissatisfied with the cold stark truth, and, ultimately, will deeply yearn to find some other kind of narrative; one that provides an explanation that places a great deal more importance on their ego’s supposed existence. That’s what matters most to the average man. His precious self image. His dandy pride. His lofty self importance. It’s really quite rather disgusting actually. So it’s an uphill battle the entire way. Thus, the way to start to make some tracks towards clarity, is found in the lucid discernment between awareness, abstractions and dream phenomena.

This is the stumbling block that The Trickster got snagged on. He got SNAGGED on it. The Trickster can’t tell the difference between awareness, dream phenomena and abstractions. He wrongly conflates them, then argues his points premised on this falsehood. So, I’d like to break this right down for you, which will hopefully lend some much needed cohesion to the matter.

1. Awareness. What is awareness? Awareness is the absolute base, and allows all else to be possible. It’s the original face, and the undermost real true identity, despite having no physical embodiment, or manifest qualities. What will we find to be the case, after every single falsehood is stripped away? After peeling back all the thoughts, the identifications with a self, the objects around you, the entire world; only this, is what remains. Awareness. And so now that there is awareness, there can be some “thing”, to be aware of. Or, “something can be imagined to be the case”, to be more exact. Now that there is awareness, awareness can be aware of imagination. And the imagination isn’t a thing. It isn’t located anywhere. Indeed, the imagination itself could be said to be imaginary. Hence, said another way, awareness can dream. And since awareness can dream, there can now be an aspect called existential reality. This is what awareness does. It imagines existential realities, with varying degrees of fleeting qualities. And this brings us to the next factor: dream phenomena.

2. Dream phenomena. What is dream phenomena? Dream phenomena is an illusion. It’s what the imagination of awareness imagines into being. There are no limits as to the possible variations the illusion can be imagined to take. And the context of any such imagined illusory variation, is what I refer to as the “mind-space.” The “mind-space” are the borders that hold together a particular illusion. Wherein, consciousness can now find it’s ground, and quickly begin to establish identifications that will bring it self affirming fortification. If this consciousness ever manages to become refined, it will perhaps recognize itself in it’s own reflection, and suddenly become self aware. And once self aware, there can now be these aspects called thoughts, ideas, beliefs, concepts, theories, and knowledge. Now a consciousness can philosophize about it’s own supposed “existence”, and make speculations about who, what, when, where, why, and how, this is. Which, brings us to the next factor: abstractions.

3. Abstractions. What are abstractions? Abstractions are the intellectual activity of a consciousness. The constant yammering of the inner voice. The ongoing internal narrative we tell ourselves is the storyline of our supposed existence. The purely intellectual deductions, and hence purely intellectual conclusions, that we THINK; and then go on to call that a reality. This is where things get murky, and then awareness, dream phenomena and abstractions become a muddled amalgamation of confusion; where now, one will have a hard time telling the difference between the concept and the object of reality, and may even mix them up entirely. This is exactly how the truth of the “mind-space” became forgotten, and how we now think we live in this idea of a “time-space” context; and went on even further to suggest that, the one and only true sure thing, the “mind-space”, is just a belief, and that the “time-space” idea, is actually the true default reality. Enter The Trickster.

So now you can see some of the reasons how and why this whole thing became so deeply convoluted. If the only things you think to question are only staged on a foundation of materialism, and inquiry into the intro-spectrum is something that never occurs to you as important, you are a pretty lame example of a skeptic. The Trickster makes the assertion that only a sheep doesn’t question a particular narrative, yet, oddly enough, doesn’t think to question the narrative of his own materialistic belief system. Apparently, he accepts as an unquestionable given that “time-space”, the normative mainstream belief system that has the general consensus of the shepherd’s flock, is a fundamental truth. And that’s truly rich. But, overlooking that for the moment, let’s move on to address one of the central themes of his argument: that the “mind-space”, is unfalsifiable; and cannot be properly substantiated or debunked.

Well, as far as being “substantiated”, is concerned, everything I’ve said thus far should leave no doubt as to why this isn’t that hard to flesh out. It’s only your over-thinking process that makes it extraordinarily over-complicated. Awareness is the fundamental truth. This might be about the only thing one can say to be, “self evident.” Without awareness, you cannot cast doubt, or weigh evidence, in the first place. Without awareness, you cannot even begin to make substantiations. So, if you actually have consciousness, and are not just a mindless zombie, then your consciousness is substantiated just by being conscious. What other evidence would you require that you are conscious, other than being conscious?

And as for debunking; what the hell would you hope to debunk anyway, your own consciousness? That seems a bit counter intuitive; and this is what makes me think that you’re just playing the usual little bullshit games of a delusion whore. Stop it. You have an absolute foundation that establishes a proper setting for investigative inquiry, and you wish to lessen it through doubt, or minimize it to some secondary status behind inanimate matter, for what purpose exactly? Or, as he so eloquently put it, “it’s a useful interface for interacting with the world.” The “world”, he comfortably assumes; but what gives context to his entire existence, he harbors reservations. And by the way, no one ever said that the “mind-space” creates reality, so it’s actually YOU who jumped to those conclusions. As previously stated, awareness dreams of a “mind-space”, and the context within that “mind-space”, is what you are wrongly calling an objective world. The “mind-space” is not a useful tool for interfacing with a world, no. There is no world. The “mind-space” is the composition of reality itself.

And if I need to go over the fallacy of the whole time delusion again, then you probably haven’t been paying attention. I’ve already deconstructed the idea of space, and much the same will apply to the concept of time. Yes, the idea of time is only an abstraction. The patterns you see in nature do not represent time. One rotation of a planet around a star is not indicative of any objective factor operating in the universe. There is no universe. Time is a completely fabricated ‘relative-to-a-subject’ tool, and nothing more. And it doesn’t matter that you can test it, debate it, or analyze it, without an absolute perception, (whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean), it doesn’t change the fact that time itself doesn’t exist independently to the factor that is giving time significance. So assuming the concept of time as some kind of fundamental groundwork of reality is a big problem. There’s no problem, on the other hand, with the truth of the “mind-space” reality. The only problem here, is your over-thinking intellectualism. An over-thinking intellectualism that likes to over-think so much, it now believes it’s ideas are reality, and that the actual reality is an idea. Nice!

And when it comes to “falsification”, that whole idea is largely stupid. Why would you make the criteria for a phenomena to be considered scientifically, a prerequisite of having certain conditions where the phenomena can be shown to be false? Does that seem to be reasonable? If that’s the case, then gravity is unfalsifiable, as it can be tested ad nauseam, and never be shown to be false; and yet gravity remains an accepted truth within the scientific community. And, on the flip side of that coin, astrology can definitely be shown to be false. So that suddenly makes it legitimate, and now qualified as eligible to be considered scientifically? What the fuck? Something’s definitely not quite right with that line of reasoning. And that’s why the idea of falsifiability is an impotent repellent against the truth. Maybe this qualifier was concocted as a ward against a god theory, but other then that, it accomplishes very little else. Again, why would you need to falsify your own consciousness? Why, other then to create distractions in an attempt to preserve your delusion; which, only causes confusion and delays.

Awareness is the absolute truth, and no, you cannot falsify the truth, under any circumstances; otherwise it isn’t the truth. The truth is the truth, and falsehood is falsehood. That’s why truth and falsehood have two separate distinctions, instead of being considered as the same distinction. Truths are never conditionally false. The truth is always the truth. Only a falsehood has the potential to be considered as conditionally true; and that’s due to the designs of illusion; but, that’s not why we’re here today.

Why is awareness the undeniable default axiom of existence? Because it’s the foundation of everything, whatever you want to call that. Whether you wanna say it’s the foundation of being, of consciousness, of physics, of material universe, of existence, or of whatever else you can come up with, matters not. The context is awareness. And that’s why it’s the ONLY sure thing. It’s not that there’s an idea of a “mind-space” inherently within you, but rather, that “mind-space” is the inherent groundwork for consciousness. Understand, this is not just a conceptual theory. It’s already the case before the development of intelligence. You don’t look outwards for it. You are already it. And you were already it, before the expansion into advanced philosophical thinking. No, it’s not god. No, it’s not materiality. Those are all prime examples of making outward attributions; what I like to refer to as, externalizations. Stop wallowing in the confines of mental slavery. You are beyond anything found within the “mind-space.” You are pure potentiality itself.

The Slaughter of the Sacred Cows

In my last video, “The Conspiracy Brain Syndrome”, I went on a vigorous attack against conspiracy theory, and left it battered and broken, bleeding to death on a darkened path, deep in the woods, gasping for it’s last breath under the pale blue moonlight. It seems that I managed to hit a lot of raw nerves with the type of message I was speaking, and, apparently, more then a few people seemed to get quite upset about it. Awwwww. Isn’t that a pity? I’m not quite sure who these protestors are, because most of the emotional commotion was originating from several highly active sock accounts with absolutely no content, who began trolling the comment section relentlessly. In so far as, who I think these people might be, (because none of these accounts are known followers of the Meta Sage), a lot of evidence is pointing towards the dual-sock; who may or may not have recruited a minion to help do his bidding. Or, as hacking reports from the bat cave have implied, the dual-sock with dual socks, or some combination thereof. No matter what the case, the dual-sock is getting punished over this, severely, and I’m not too overly concerned about whether or not he is solely responsible, is in cahoots with an underling, or claims that he had absolutely nothing to do with it; there’s going to be serious consequences nevertheless, because I have already warned him about this kind of troll conduct, several times.

Be that as it may, maybe there were some among you who were genuinely upset with the message I was conveying, but if so, I’m not sure why, as anyone who would regularly tune into the Meta Sage transmissions shouldn’t expect anything less. If anything, this opposition only reveals that many of you have not yet done what’s been expected of you. Not only have many of you NOT let go of your addictive attachments, but, you are, in fact, actively harboring them, and trying to hide them all under a guise of “philosophical disagreement.” No, not acceptable, at all. I already told you, a long time ago, that, at least when it comes to the Meta Sage channel, there are no sacred cows. I am a reality deconstructionist, and everything you hold dear, is on the table. When you were asked to “let go of everything”, that didn’t mean to let go of everything, except for the special exceptions you keep hidden on the side. No, “let go of everything”, means exactly that. EVERYTHING. There are no special exceptions; and the fact that I have uncovered some of these special exceptions, means that I’ve got a lot more work to do.

You see, I have to apologize to a certain extent, because, up until now, I have been in a transition between spiritual strongholds, and, as of late, have not been able to give the adequate attention to my work, as I usually would. And for this, I am truly sorry. A little cryptic back story on this. In the early part of 2018, the time had finally arrived to where, I had to depart from my old spiritual stronghold. It served me well for a time, and I managed to produce more then two years of content in that place, but, eventually, the space became an inadequate setting for the upcoming chapters of my work, and so, I left that place, and then began a transitional phase, and ended up getting waylaid for a time in a sort of interval stasis situation; but, eventually, I broke out of that, and, in the early summer of 2019, established a new foundation in a more appropriate environment, and ever since then, the production of my new spiritual stronghold has been underway, and now, is at least 95% done. Complete enough to where, I can now begin to refocus my attention back onto the pressing issues at hand, and, start to bring everything back into clean sharp order. I must clear away all the cobwebs, and cast out certain rodents, then, I can finally take my place in a brand new seat of power, and begin the task of casting judgment on everything in the field of the mind-space; and then decide the fate of everything that finds it’s place within the framework of this domain. Yes, I will be deciding what should stay, and what should go; so let’s hope that you can account for yourself, and have not been behaving like a shameless parasite.

But anyway, getting back to the story being told here, at hand. I was disappointed by some of the reactions people were having to “The Conspiracy Brain Syndrome”, video. Not only did it reveal the existence of hidden clinging attachments, but there wasn’t many arguments in opposition that didn’t respond with either externalizations, or yet even more conspiracy theory. It just goes to show that, no matter how meta you get, some people will never be able to see beyond the worm’s eye view. It’s just simply beyond their capacity. But how desperate they’ve become in trying to stop me from remaining lucid about the mind-space. No, they don’t want that, because if that happens, then the bar gets raised; and the higher the bar gets raised, the harder it gets for “others”, to function, because this type of raised bar demands high concentration and discipline, and introduces a whole new set of arduous standards. No, they’d much rather I get distracted and lose clarity, so they can continue to be greedy and lazy.

“No Sage, look at history! C’mon Sage, research these factions! Stop it Sage, pay attention to the outside world! Do anything Sage, but please forget that it’s a mind-space! We don’t want to take on any power or responsibility! We’d much rather be slaves to an illusion. It takes less effort. And it’s secure and comforting. Please Sage!”

Yeah, I know. But, too bad. I am already aware that it’s a mind-space, and I’m not ever going to lose sight of it again, so, you can just forget about that. It’s too late. I’m already across that threshold, and I’m never going back. So you should stop trying to use cheap tactics in an attempt to lower my clarity. No, instead, let’s crank up the pressure, and crack the whip down, on YOU.

And so, this brings us to the solipsistic implications of the issue; which should be noted, as it brings us back to the metaphysical meat of the matter. After I posted the “Conspiracy Brain” video, during all the chaos of the ensuing sock puppet uproar, at a certain point, one of them did try to actually muster up the concentration to articulate a half-assed ideological argument, employing, of all things, the philosophy of solipsism. It seems like he was trying his best to try to throw down some kind of unmanageable conceptual sticking point, but it wasn’t effective. At the time, I didn’t go into an in-depth exchange with the fool, because it’s really not worth typing paragraphs and paragraphs of discourse, only to have it later deleted; so now, when dealing with trolls, it’s better to just sling a couple of insults, and then block them immediately. So a lot of comments got lost in the shuffle. But, luckily, before the dust settled, I managed to screenshot his comments, because I figured, at some point, I would later address them, just for amusement. And so, I will now proceed to impale them endwise, properly.

So onto the sock-puppet’s first comment.

Sock puppet: quote - “Corona is bullshit. Strange that you don't even believe there is a real world Meta Sage, as you're a solipsist (which i basically agree with) -- and yet you think the coronavirus plan-demic is real, and there's a real pandemic happening in the time and space of a big world -- a world which you previously claim in your solipsist talks doesn't even exist? That's pretty ridiculous. You're contradicting yourself if you believe in coronavirus and yet don't even believe in an objective solid reality. How are all these supposed people dying on the news if they don't even exist because solipsism is real? You've become a contradiction.” unquote.

To this, I basically replied that, my acknowledgment of the coronavirus, doesn’t translate into an endorsement of an objectively existing physical world. The sock puppet assumes this, because he is, in fact, the only real materialist here, who doesn’t even genuinely subscribe to solipsism; so it’s not clear why he was trying to elucidate it’s points. So I brought it to his attention that, even though the world is illusory, the illusory nature of the world doesn’t mean the illusory events that take place it in it, are a deception. You want to assert that there’s lies being told within an illusion, and the reason they are lies is because it’s an illusion. That’s what you imply by this line of reasoning. If you really understood that reality is not in ‘time-space’, but is, in fact, a ‘mind-space’, then you wouldn’t posit such a silly proposition. No, the world perceived through the senses is indeed illusory, but everything that happens within it, is conditionally true. We say “conditionally true”, to emphasize the illusory nature, while, at the same time, acknowledging the structure of illusion. Yes, there are illusory people in an illusory world, but the illusory world has illusory rules. If an illusory body steps out in front of an illusory truck, the illusory truck is going to crush the illusory body. Period. It’s as simple as that. So it would be real stupid to call the coronavirus a deception within the illusion when it’s clearly a part of the illusory world, and has the potential to kill you; just as there are lots of other things killing people all the time. People are getting eaten by sharks, right now. People are perishing of cancer, and dying in car crashes, right now.

To this, the sock puppet replied with:

Sock Puppet: quote - “Meta Sage, you said someone right now is dying in a car crash -- wrong. Solipsism posits the ONLY thing that you can prove to be real, is your own consciousness. If someone calls you on a phone from Hawaii - you don't KNOW they exist right now in Hawaii -- all you KNOW and can PROVE is that your phone has a voice of someone who claims to be in Hawaii right now. But you, can never be in 2 places at the same time, and therefore you will never ever ever be able to prove that person actually exists in Hawaii right now when you're somewhere else in the world talking to them on a phone. You are here and now -- and only here and now -- forever. So you saying someone is dying in a car right now is pure speculation. "Solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind”, that's the definition right off of google itself. So you're NOT a solipsist by saying someone is dying in a car right now -- unless you can photograph it and are there in person -- it's bullshit. Just like you claiming all these people are dying of coronavirus. And your claims break the code of solipsism and contradict it entirely.” unquote.

The main issue here, that seems to be this troll’s major mental malfunction, is his inability to directly apply solipsism with the pure mind. Instead, he only considers it intellectually, which, inevitably, is always going to fall short of the mark. Becoming lucid, versus only having knowledge about the subject of solipsism intellectually, are two completely different things. It’s a divide too wide to negotiate, and nothing in this sock puppet’s little bag of dirty tricks, will be sufficient enough to bridge the gap. The examples he references, and the definitions he cites from the internet, are also intellectual misinterpretations of solipsism, and it doesn’t wash. Sorry, no matter how you slice it, I win, and you lose.

So, let’s go ahead and review the second statement, then parse through it’s points briefly, and dissect them accordingly.

“Solipsism posits the only thing you can prove to be real, is your own consciousness.”

“Solipsism”, posits this, eh? Is solipsism an entity that can make assertions now? Silly enough on it’s own, but then you start talking about “what YOU can prove.” So, I ask, who’s the “you”, referring to in this statement? “OWN consciousness?” Who’s the owner of this consciousness exactly? You seem to place a whole lot of weight in the existence of an identification with the ego personality. I guess that’s why you could possibly think that this ego is the only ego you can be sure that exists; as if you are an ego that has an existence in the first place. This conclusion is based on a mis-identification, and is a common stumbling block for existential explorers who don’t journey deep enough. No, you have not made the proper lucid connection yet. The entirety of the dream is a whole, and the ego personality is woven right into the very fabric of it. The ego is no different then those that you refer to as “others.” Both are equally aspects of a dream, and this dream is found within the imagination of awareness. So, more aptly stated, the ‘awareness of the dream’, is the only thing that can be known for sure to exist. Understood this way, there is no confusion. But, even if we take this the wrong way, and argue it out falsely, in the way you originally wanted, I still win. If my ego is the only ego that exists, and everything else in the world, including other people, are all figments of my personal mind, it does nothing to lessen the fact that the coronavirus, and anything else for that matter, are all conditional aspects of my imagined world. In other words, I am dreaming of an imaginary physical world where there are imaginary physical entities that are vulnerable to all kinds of imaginary deaths, via all kinds of imaginary circumstances. And one of the things I am imagining to be killing lots of these imaginary entities, is an imaginary virus. Hence, I imagine hearing about all these imaginary deaths going on in my world. So, that doesn’t work. Ultimately, what we can say with confidence, is that, however which way you want to look at it, the sock puppet troll who left this comment is just as real or fake as the coronavirus. So think hard about how you wanna answer that. The coronavirus is as much of a hoax as you are. Whatever you say the coronavirus is, you fall into the exact same category.

Then the troll goes on to quote from a Google search: quote - “Solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.” unquote.

Yeah, but the thing is, this whole “own mind”, versus the “other mind”, bullshit, is completely false. And the reason it’s false, is because it’s a mere assumption grounded upon a faulty premise. Things that are outside of own mind? And what the hell might that be exactly? There’s no “own” anything. How can a thing be outside of one’s own mind when all there is, is mind? It’s ALL mind; so please explain how anything can be outside of itself. There is no “outside”, and this is the crux of your misunderstanding, mr. sock puppet man.

See, the problem here, is that you are not sincere. Instead, you are just playing little word games, and engaging in intellectual thought experiments, that have no basis in reality. And the reason you are doing this, is because you want to both hide your attachments, and attempt to distract me from clarity; but, you’ve failed on both fronts. And now, I am going to turn the tables and put you through your paces. I know that you are actively trying to hide your special exception attachments from me, but now, I think the time has finally come, for a slaughter of the sacred cows. So watch out. I am coming for everything, and I will hunt down every last sacred attachment that you have hidden, deep in your mind. I am going to find them all, and lay them bare. Nothing is safe. And if you think for one second that, by erecting fortified walls around your precious attachments, that it’s going to do anything to stop me, then you are sadly mistaken, my friend. It’s not going to stop anything. I will find every last attachment you have concealed, and I will drag it out into the open, and then brutalize it, harshly. And I don’t care how vigilant you are in your protective efforts. It’s just a matter of time, and I have an obscene amount of patience. You have to go to sleep some time; and when you do, I will break into your mind and search every nook and cranny of it, until I have found all of your hidden special exceptions. Then, I will proceed to quickly strip them down, and then club them repeatedly, to within inches of their lives.

The Conspiracy Brain Syndrome

I’ve already made this point a few times in the past, in a couple of different videos, but I think the time has finally come, to where, it needs to be more significantly emphasized, and finally be made absolutely positively unmistakably clear. Laid bare in such a way, so as to leave no question, dispelling any lingering doubts, and, hopefully, finally lay the whole issue to rest in it’s entirety. And the issue in question today is, conspiracy theory. The ideology, of which, we’ll refer to as “conspiracism”, and the adherents, of whom, we’ll classify as “conspiracists.”

Right now, these particular terms are strictly Meta Sage neologisms; as, the field of interest concerned with conspiracy theory is not generally called “conspiracism”, and the people who gravitate towards this field of interest are not commonly referred to as “conspiracists.” So the purpose of using these labels is just for the ease of discussion, even though, overall, these kinds of titles are probably ill advised, as they imply a sense of acknowledged legitimacy, which isn’t warranted, and ends up only providing them undue platform. And that’s the issue I’d like to address today. This type of allowance is the whole reason this dubious ideology has ballooned so far out of proportion. This pervasive degeneration is no longer restricted to a peripheral fringe element. No, unfortunately, the malignancy has now entered into the blood of the mainstream. So, it’s too late to nip it in the bud, as flagrant inattentiveness has allowed this disinformation to permeate into the psyche of the collective subconscious; and, at this point, only a direct vigorous attack will suffice to remedy the situation. This is no longer just a minor concern. I know that it wasn’t too long ago, when this whole issue was the equivalent of a little unassuming hapless baby lizard, but that time has passed, and we are now dealing with a full grown acid spitting nine headed hydra. We’re not looking to cut off just one of the heads of the nine headed hydra, no. We are looking to accomplish more efficient long term solutions; like hobbling the hydra, right at his fucking ankles. Kill the body, and the heads will die. This is no time for the mere treatment of symptoms. That’s wasted energy; effort that could be much better spent re-directed to more worthy applications. No, for this type of affliction, you have to go directly to the core of the disease, then root it out, systematically.

So, I’m here today to educate you as to the exact reasons why conspiracism is a crock of horse shit. But first, before we go any further, there’s a few things you need to understand, up front. Conspiracism is not a philosophy. Conspiracism is not raised awareness. Conspiracism is not righteous trutherism. Rather, conspiracism is a huge dirty lie; and, point blank, a symptom of a particularly nasty underlying mental illness. That’s gonna be the main thrust of this video. To get locked up in this kind of mind-trap is a mental disorder; even though “conspiracism”, isn’t yet listed in the DSM-5, the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders; but it should be. And this needs to be seen to, immediately. And we could call this particular mental disorder:

“The Conspiracy Brain Syndrome.”

It needs a stigmatizing title, because the idea is to try and actively discourage it, and, ultimately, smother it out of existence. So anchoring it down with a heavy stigma will really help to put things in the proper perspective; because not all that much has been done to denounce or condemn this type of mental sickness thus far. Obviously, most people must have been dismissing this sickness as merely benign, as it’s been left alone to wreak havoc on people’s minds, unchecked and unchallenged. But the time has come to take the matter way more seriously, and begin to majorly disincentivize any path that will lead to a conspiracy mindset. People that espouse conspiracy theory are a major issue, and I’m not sure the general populace is even aware that it’s such a grievous problem. Unaware to such an extent, that conspiracism has now begun to infect the minds of an unprecedented amount of everyday people. To such a degree, that now, even the government of the United States is perpetuating this sickness, making implications that’s there’s some fight going on behind the scenes against “a deep state”, attempting to lend credence to the idea that a hidden government lurks behind the legitimate government, pulling the puppet strings, even though that’s all just a flat out deception, designed to scare you into continuing to assign power and responsibility elsewhere. That’s right. So actually, if you think about it, conspiracy theory is really a part of the conspiracy. Conspiracism is just another method of fear and control, designed specifically to weaken and oppress your mind.

So, I’m just so deeply sorry to all the conspiracists out there, who have just so much invested in this, but, just so you know, you have invested in a major turkey. A jive turkey, at that. Are you surprised? What, you thought you were doing something constructive for the people? Where do you get these outlandish ideas in your head that your conspiracy theory mongering is somehow a form of activism? You ain’t activating shit. At least not activating anything positive. You are only sowing anger, distrust, paranoia, and divisiveness; which, if anything, makes you an agent of disservice. So get it straight. You are not blazing a path of honor and truth, you are suffering from an acute delusional syndrome; a mental disability, that has blighted the minds of it’s fanatical adherents, and rendered their functional value down to almost completely useless. The only thing these types of warped zealots are good for, are straightjackets, rubber rooms, court ordered prescriptions of medication, and many many years of deep intensive therapy. Simply put, people who are obsessed with conspiracy theories, are mentally ill, period. There’s no reason to make any bones about it. There’s no caveats to consider, nor the slightest concern that there may be some possible hidden value to be found, veiled underneath it’s plainly unavailing utility. No, it’s quite safe to toss this one in the garbage can, without a second thought.

And people really need to step it up, when it comes to condemning these types of delusions, and step it up when it comes to shaming and ostracizing those that herald this type of message. These people deserve to be relentlessly shunned and outcast by society; so you really have to go out of your way to make their lives a living hell, otherwise they won’t find any motivation to upkeep their mental health. They will actually neglect their own mental health, to your detriment, so you shouldn’t wait too long to denounce and repudiate it, otherwise it will become too late, and soon, the disease will have spread throughout the whole community, and before long, you will quickly become overrun. You need to do whatever you can do to combat it, right now; by any and all means necessary. And much of this starts out by understanding that, you owe absolutely no allegiance, nor respect, to conspiracism. Why would you? It doesn’t have any value in the construction and maintenance of a civilization, and doesn’t have any value in the ideas, wisdom and philosophy of a civilization. So what is it, other then a cavity in the mouth of society?

And if your answer to anything I’m saying right now has anything to do with yet more conspiracy, you can put a sock in it, and save your breath, even though you are a huge waste of oxygen. Sorry, but conspiracy theories are not valid as arguments. If anything, they are indications of a deeply troubled psychology; but little else. Perhaps they serve as coping mechanisms for the malcontent, but if so, it’s a festering malignancy that’s doing more harm then good. At best, maybe this type of thinking helps you to feel better about yourself, as you fancy that the wool has been pulled down over the eyes of everyone in the world, except you, but, in reality, much of this grandiose delusion is just due to simple intellectual immaturity, and hence, it’s way past the time for you to grow up, and stop fervently clinging to juvenile belief systems.

If you can ever finally manage to emerge out from underneath this oppressive mental scourge, then you’ll eventually come to see that, all this time, you were just being an ignorant narrow-minded belligerent jackass. So you really need to get over yourself. Understand: in the wide spectrum of philosophical milestones, “conspiracy theory”, is nearly at the bottom of the barrel on the philosophical totem pole. This is the domain for beginners, not contenders. Conspiracism is barely only a notch or two above superstition and religion. Let’s put it this way: if we were to consider religion as kindergarten, then accordingly, conspiracy theory can be regarded as the 1st grade.

And speaking of conspiracy theory and religion, did you know that these two positions share a little more in common, other then both being adjacent to each other at the bottom of the spectrum of wisdom and intelligence? Indeed, these positions might even be said to be ideological cousins of sorts. Sometimes the conceptual playing field can present conditions that make for some very strange ideological bedfellows. Case in point, conspiracy theory and religion. They are more similar then most people would like to believe. They both distrust mankind and society, they both despise science and technology, and they both enjoy demonizing anyone or anything that dares to disagree with their dogma. And if you have any doubts, conduct your own survey. I would say probably upwards to 80% of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, also subscribe to god theories. Fact is, over time, these two positions have become allies; and it’s not all that surprising to see why. If you are already of a mind that thinks mankind and civilization are inherently untrustworthy and evil, then how far can you be from a mind that declares it all to be the work of Satan? Not that far at all, I say.

If you look more closely at the association between these two positions, you will discover that, the type of mind you find gravitating towards something like conspiracy theory, is cut from the exact same cloth as the type of mind you find gravitating towards something like religion. In other words, stupid superstitious people. Deluded people, who want to desperately avoid the truth at all costs, by embracing some alternate false version of reality. An alternate false version of reality that, conveniently, assigns them more importance, and helps enable them to think that they are part of some great divine order; which they then use as the justification for their self important assumed sense of entitlement, and their aggressively invasive need to impose, oppress and demonize others. And yet, ironically, in truth, these people are of extremely low moral fiber, and have broken characters, completely bereft of any existential quality. Yet, these people feel they are in some position to tell other people how to think and what to believe, and which way they should live their lives. It’s a complete joke. It’s like a homeless crack-head trying to criticize you and give you advice on how to properly conduct your life. Gimme a break.

So bare this in mind, before you start to go too crazy, patting yourself on the back, telling yourself how much of a big fucking hero you are, for doing us all such a great favor by educating us with your fear porn, and, spew-projecting onto everyone, all of your depraved paranoid insecurities, with vomit projectile accuracy. Thanks, but you are not a hero, by any stretch of the imagination. You are not thinking outside of the box. You are not a “critical thinker.” And you are not distinguishing yourself as some great knowledgeable shepherd, who stands apart from the masses, ready, able and willing to lead the sheeple away from the darkness with some great liberating truth. No, in reality, meaning outside your fantasy, you are still a mainstream sheeple; you are just a disgruntled mainstream sheeple, who thinks that they’re somehow being less of a patsy simply by suspiciously distrusting everything. Wow! (Sarcastic clapping sound.) Great fucking job, malcontent sheep! You’ve achieved distrusting everything! Wow! You’ve accomplished a great feat of cynicism! Woot! Hurray! Sorry, but you are not some tough maverick rebel, you are just a plain ole mainstream malcontented sheep. I bet if we shove a million dollars down your blowhole, you’ll shut the hell up and go away real fast, because, in truth you are just a big lying disgruntled fake, blowing lots of hot air.

Yeah. So in case you were a little confused, now you can be unconfused. And I don’t care how much research you’ve fixated into this unbending obsession, your research means diddly-squat, and doesn’t change a damn thing. I know that you believe this self-deceptive fallacy that, the more and more research you do, the more and more crazy you start sounding to all the ignorant people around you, right? Uh huh. Well, newsflash: Your research means jack shit. You haven’t even figured out yet that sensory perception is an illusion, and yet you think that, somehow, by deeply researching the illusion, that you are actually accomplishing something useful? Shit. You may sound crazy to the ignorant lemmings, but so what; that’s like having misgivings from a donkey. Who cares. What should worry you a bit more, is that you sound like a complete and total blockhead dumbass to anyone with any degree of higher wisdom. You come across no better then a ravenous junky, struggling with an addiction, desperately seeking some way to find that next fix. So, no, you are not uncovering a truth with your “research”, you are only wallowing in a delusion: and yet you think you’ve discovered something earth shattering by noticing some sort of interconnectivity in reality. Wow! You’ve made interpretations of symbols, codes, and anagrams! Well, congratulations. Only problem is, you’re taking the whole thing way too damn literally; so it’s no surprise that you think it’s all just a matter of rooting out some secret group of dark ominous “others”, who are plotting to control or destroy a so called “world.” Your underlying intentions may be good, but your mission is utterly misdirected and futile; as, your remedy to the problem is ultimately ineffectual, because it’s an approach that addresses the wrong area of concern.

This is why you will never be given any true legitimacy, because, after all, if what you are promoting is not the truth, then, really, what the hell are you really doing? Obsessive compulsive rituals. Thoughts and actions of attachment and addiction. In other words, masturbation. So why should anyone take anything coming out of your mouth seriously, when it’s so abundantly and redundantly obvious that you have a seriously perverse hang up? It would be one thing if, every once in a while, you took note of a possible conspiracy theory, considered it briefly, and then moved on, but no. You get STUCK; and that’s how you know this obsessive fixation is really just a mental dysfunction. Where now, everything in life becomes a component of some dark nefarious plot, and there’s no conspiracy theory in existence that could possibly be too far fetched a consideration to be believed and accepted as an ironclad truth. It’s like looking at the world through murky colored glasses: everything considered must now be skewed to fit the narrative of the conspiracy theory worldview. It’s an, “When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”, kind of situation. A one trick pony, who’s time has come to be put out to pasture. Because, after awhile, the whole thing just becomes so incredibly tiresome, and BORING; and, notably, a position that seems to mostly be gravitated towards by the intellectually infantile; which, of course, means a whole lotta people. And these douche-bags are annoying as hell. They’d rather scapegoat a boogeyman, then lay down on the ground and wait for rescue. And that’s what’s so seriously infuriating about these conspiracy brains: they don’t actually do anything; other then pissing in the punch bowl. Or maybe an occasional mass shooting. But other then that, very little else. And this madness needs to change.

You claim that you want to confront some kind of evil in this world? Then stop searching ‘out there’, for secret societies of elite plasma drinking pedophile reptilians to blame. You want to confront evil? Then you need not look any further then at your own damn ugly face looking back at you in the mirror. Or, how does the adage go? Sweep around your own front door before you start looking to sweep around everyone else’s. You distrust society? It’s you who can’t be trusted. You think mankind is rotten? It’s you who’s really rotten. Stop playing the victim, and stop playing the blame game. Your entire perceptual reality is sourced from the pure mind, so if there’s something out here you think is evil and an injustice, then the source of that evil and injustice, is within yourself. If you don’t like it, then do something about it, within yourself. Otherwise, just shut up about it; lest I punch a cloth gag so far down your fucking throat, it’ll come out your asshole.

Thank you.

Hey sage, not sure if the stuff im sending is sending multiple times since Tumblr thinks there is a link in my message. But i will send fewer questions this time. Is romantic love based on reasons, or is it essentially irrational? Can love be reduced to a merely biological phenomenon? What differentiates friendship from romantic love? Do we love a whole person or a set of properties? Must romantic love by its nature be exclusive? Is romantic love morally permissible?

This is fewer questions? It actually seems like MORE questions then the last one, so I’m not sure you are fulfilling what you set out to accomplish. But, anyway, on to your questions:

1. Is romantic love based on reasons, or is it essentially irrational?

A: Real love is irrational. A partnership sought for a “reason” is certainly not motivated by real love.

2. Can love be reduced to a mere biological phenomena?

A: It can be, but it’s only an intellectual exercise. What would be the aim of reducing it? To convince yourself that you are a biological creature?

3. What differentiates friendship from romantic love?

A: The desire for intimacy. One usually doesn’t seek intimacy and sexual relations from a friend.

4. Do we love a whole person or a set of properties?

A: I would hope the whole person. Loving a set of properties sounds more like a paraphilia.

5. Must romantic love by it’s nature be exclusive?

A: No, but there’s not many women that will accept it in any other way.

6. Is romantic love morally permissible?

A: Yes. As long as they are consenting adults who have chosen to be in a relationship, there’s no moral issue.

Coronavirus is Retribution for Overprocreation, Mass Pollution and the Rampant Abuse of Animals

Yeah, Charlie. Everyone is making a big deal about this coronavirus business. Everyones talkin’ about it. They’re makin’ a big deal about it. But I say, take it easy. There’s no need to panic. Why bother? The way I see it, you’ve already been amply warned, on numerous occasions, to change your disgustingly self indulgent reckless behaviors, and, over time, it’s become abundantly obvious, that you’ve decidedly chosen to ignore these warnings. Thus, predictably, the chickens have come home to roost; and so now, your goose is cooked. So, what’s the use of crying about it now? And I know. You did whatever you had to do, to take whatever it was you thought you needed at the time, at whatever the cost, and, that is what it is; and nobody can do anything to change what you did. That’s fine. You did what you did; but now, I’m doing it to you. And don’t act like your so fucking surprised. You did what you did, and now, I’m doing it to you.

“But why, Sage? Why?! I’m not totally clear what you’re talking about.”

Alright. We’ll pretend you’ve been living under a rock for the past 30 years, and you need a consolidated crash course on the causality of the current conditions. I’ll, once again, reiterate that which was trying to be impressed upon you. And I’ll do so with extreme guarded restraint and barely contained tolerance; as, at least in the view of the higher mind, you’ve already been extended way more then enough opportunities than you deserve. So even just the mere speaking of these very words, without subsequent infliction of immediate severe punitive retribution, is an exercise of pure bridled discipline.

So, point blank. There’s three major quandaries. Three things are at issue, and they are all based in the ongoing abuse of freedoms that, apparently, you are much too irresponsible, greedy and immature, to handle properly. Each issue is a topic unto itself, and each issue enables the other two; a trilateral symbiotic dysfunction of sorts, but we won’t be delving deeply into the details of each topic today; that type of an explication being reserved for, perhaps, a future video. Today, we’ll just be discussing the conditional generalities surrounding the subjects, and how these issues will be deeply effecting you in these last days of the old era. And these issues are: over-procreation, mass pollution, and the widespread abuse of animals; culminating into an overcrowded cesspool of filth and suffering. All of this, of which, is courtesy of the organisms who’ve been touted as the most intelligent creatures on the planet. This is the best they can do. So vastly intelligent, yet they can’t even figure out how to implement existential core basics, like updated standards of moderation, sanitation and common decency, and a working knowledge of how to maintain these aspects as important fabrics of a civilization.

So the report card is in, and unfortunately, you’ve failed on all fronts. Sorry.

1. You are having entirely too many children, and for no good reason, other then your own myopic selfishness, and some desperate irrational need to conform to the expectations of the herd.

2. You are producing way too much pollution and waste, both individually and collectively, and are not taking one bit of responsibility for managing, or reducing it, nor are you producing the more efficient alternatives, which ARE available, by the way.

3. You are an active participant in the horrific systematic abuse of animals, on a mass scale, which continues on unabated every single day, as you go about your life acting as if all that suffering, which is occurring just out of the field of your personal consciousness, doesn’t matter.

Those are the charges being leveled at you. And I don’t want to hear any excuses. This is all completely unacceptable, and it’s going to be corrected, under pain of death, or your circumstantial devastation. Mankind has been behaving like a petty selfish spoiled brat crybaby; and you have the gall to wonder about the coronavirus? A petty selfish spoiled brat crybaby who, apparently, needs a firm swift spanking. And spare me the politics, because that would only qualify you to get pushed up against the wall to receive a fast bullet behind the ear. In fact, it’s the politics that makes you such an utterly vile and repugnant creature, no matter what your affiliation. Bottom line: Humanity has dropped the ball, big time. I can’t think of an organism that is more deserving of unrelenting reprisal and rebuke. And this needs to be addressed, right now. And I know that some of you may protest, and implore for the implementation of more delay, but I can’t. I just can’t stomach it anymore. There’s no way I can continue to allow this to go on any longer with a clear conscious.

So, I’m caught between a rock and a hard place, Charlie. I know that I’m supposed to be here in order to help set minds free from the trappings of mental slavery, but right now, I’m having a hard time finding any reason to continue performing this mission. I’m not quite positive that I have the proper gumption to carry this intention forward any longer. Not under these conditions. Right now, the conditions are not all that conducive towards this high minded goal. For the conditions to be right for this monumental task, there must first be a solid foundation of discipline, mindfulness and efficiency in place, otherwise the corrective efforts will be doomed for failure. And right now, there is just so very little discipline, mindfulness and efficiency. So, unfortunately, now, more then ever in any other time in history, the conditions for the maneuver are dismal and grim.

See, one of the problems is that, in order for one to even be in a position to free one’s mind, there must be a willingness; but right now, there isn’t any. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, I’m afraid. There is a complete lack of willingness. In reality, it’s more like, unyielding belligerent pigheaded ignorance, unreceptive to any kind of expansion into lucid awareness. And I know that this implication itself might turn some of you off; as some of you have previously complained. I know that some of you may think that this video is merely an exercise of me implying my enlightenment by highlighting your ignorance, and that’s completely understandable; as, this is a typical reaction of a fragile ego who suffers intensely from a deep inferiority complex. From this warped perspective, everything in life is always viewed through the lens of the “inferiority superiority”, paradigm, which is infantile, weak and counter productive. There’s nothing more useless then a supposed “student”, who is too preoccupied to focus on the material at hand, all because they are consumed in a constant state of anxiety that the teacher might be implying some sense of superiority due to the fact that they are expounding knowledge that the student is ignorant of; but what’s really presenting the impasse here, is the student’s own inability to move past their deep seated insecurity, to let down their guard, and show some humility.

In other words, one is now in a position where it becomes completely impossible for them to learn anything, or unlearn anything, as the case may be. A situation where one cannot benefit from any kind of tutelage whatsoever, because they already think they know everything. Like an empty cup that’s been filled up to the brim. Nothing useful can get inside, because there’s no more room for anything; which ends up fostering a lack of deeper wisdom, which would normally enable an understanding that true mastery of knowledge does not involve filling one’s cup up with the proper ingredients, but rather, is a process of emptying out the cup, and sustaining this open space at all times, so that knowledge may pass through it freely, and not be grasped at, or held onto desperately, in a futile attempt to fulfill some immature need to contrive an identity. But humanity wants no part of it, and that’s why everyone’s cup is filled up to the brim, and overflowing. People can’t be bothered to clear the mind, because they’re far too busy being fake. Worrying about their precious fineries, and other purely vain enterprises. Human beings have never before been so mentally sick, or spiritually bankrupt. Hence, the commencement of such a liberation is all but impossible to facilitate. And thus, the solution to this problem isn’t very good news for humanity. Sadly, the solution to this problem will ultimately involve a whole lot of mass death and destruction. It’s unfortunate, but unavoidable.

I’ve been contemplating it for a long time, and I’ve finally come to the conclusion that, in order for humanity to move forward towards enlightenment, a lot of things are gonna need to be cut out of the project. And I’m not going to make any announcements as to what this is, nor as to what it may apply. Sorry, but these things are existential aspects that just don’t serve any constructive purpose any more. They are aspects that simply don’t have any beneficial function. They are, in fact, actually, quite literally, detrimental to the cause, and, at this point, really need to just be systematically eradicated, permanently. They are profoundly broken aspects, ones that are beyond all reclamation or repair, and, at this point, are only serving as impediments, and negative distractions, from the truth.

We are in this realm to seek the truth and free the mind. That’s the job we’ve been tasked to accomplish, but, unfortunately, the majority of you seem to think that this realm is some kind of cocoon of delusion, designed to facilitate constant masturbation to your myopic ego, and as such, you have set up your camp accordingly. Vast battalions of waste producing vacuums, staged across the landscape, poised and ready for an unrestrained feeding frenzy. Absolutely not. You can kiss it all goodbye. That rug is gonna get yanked out from under your feet so fast, your head is gonna spin off your neck and hit the ceiling.

I fiercely condemn your hubris, and your overblown sense of assumed entitlement, and think that, right about now, you could really benefit from a couple of hard smacks to either side of your ugly constipated face, to, you know, kinda wake you up a bit, and hopefully bring you back down to reality. And is this harsh? Not really. This is an important wake up call, for a lazy blind pea brained dodo bird. Gently caressing your cheek and kissing you on the forehead will only help you to continue to slumber, and you’ve already hit that snooze button for the last time. Time’s up. You’re late. And as a result, getting smacked awake is the least of your worries. So yeah. Good afternoon, sleepy head. So glad you could join us. Now eat a rice cracker, shut up, sit down, and do not speak. Let the adults have a conversation. Children only speak when spoken to.

“But wait, Sage. Please don’t be so harsh. If I’m wrong, educate me. Don’t belittle me.”

No. Shut up. You’re already way too educated. I may teach you a few things here and there, but ultimately, my main objective here is to empty out your fucked up mind, not to shove more useless information into it. Don’t belittle you? Unfortunately, this is unavoidable. Your ego balloon has gotten so over inflated, it’s filled up the entire fucking room. Do I have any other choice but to lash out and puncture you? You are an opinionated short-sighted uptight emotional train wreck. You are impetuous and selfish. And you totally lack discipline, mindfulness and efficiency. Hence, a large part of my job nowadays has become punishment, reprove and correction, which, sadly, is a major disappointment, but it can’t be helped. One can’t even be in a position to free their minds from mental slavery until one has established certain basic fundamentals. And one of the basic fundamentals right now, is to just shut up. Both your mind, and your mouth. Remember “Clear Mind, Closed Mouth?” Well, it’s time to put it into practice. If you clear the mind, the mouth will relax. Calm the mind and the mouth will follow; as opposed to always hyper overthinking everything, then engaging in the subsequent non-stop constant yapping about it. It really is irritating. Like the one who thinks that acquiring some lame insipid opinion on a subject is some kind of indication of a ground breaking accomplishment. Nice try, but you’ve accomplished jack shit. Sorry to disappoint you, but as much as you’d like to believe, your opinion is no more of a ground breaking accomplishment then a fat old cow blowing out a loud stinky fart. Yeah.

So getting back to you, and your complete lack of directed focus, which consequently leads to an overall deficit of discipline, mindfulness and efficiency, we’ve come to a point in time where, you need to decide whether or not you are going to either adapt, or die. Right now, mankind’s priorities are rooted in selfish egotism, and are not at all concerned with lucid awareness; this is why the current circumstances have quickly become a putrid situation, and the only real way to fix it, is to, straight up, cut out the festering malignancies. No bones made, no soft soap, or band aid. Just cut out the festering malignancies. Then insert the malignancies into a meat grinder, take the ground meat and liquefy it in a blender, then take that purée and burn it, then take the ashes and dump them into the ocean. Then we can all sing songs and eat danishes.

Isn’t that a normal response? Does a gardener not pull weeds from the garden? Does a healer not remove the disease from the body?

“Yeah, Sage. But who gets to decide? Who gets to make the ultimate decision about what should be saved, and what should be cut out?”

Well, that’s easy enough. I do. I get to decide. I will pass judgement, then implement a plan of action, systematically erasing any and all aspects that have been deemed counter productive to the project, hence no longer conducive towards truth and enlightenment. And I’m not going to make any announcements as to what this is, nor as to what it may apply. Get it straight. This isn’t a punishment. That time has passed. Punishment implies there’s hope for correction and rehabilitation. But we’ve been well passed that point for some time. This isn’t about punishment. This is about pure erasure. And, it’s not even a big deal. There isn’t any moral wrong in eliminating useless impediments. These aspects don’t have any value, nor any worthwhile purpose, hence lack any functional utility. I don’t have any use for any of them. They do not serve the truth. And anything that does not serve the truth, is truly the definition of extraneous and expendable. Hence, there’s not gonna be any more chances to recognize errors and make the proper corrections. There has been more then enough opportunity for that hitherto. And those offered opportunities have been spit on, pissed on, shit on, and then puked on.

So, that’s it. The deadline has passed. From this point forward, there’s not gonna be any more accommodations or considerations. There will be no more appeals. There will be no way to reason with the relentless onslaught. There’s gonna be absolutely no exceptions, nor any allowance for due pause, that will warrant a response to the inevitable cries for leniency or mercy. And mercy and leniency for what? So that you can go back to being an arrogant belligerent blind obstinate pig? No. You’ve made your bed, and now you are gonna get slammed down into that fucker with brute force, and that coffin will then be lowered into the ground, and then you will be buried alive. But don’t worry, you will be buried alive with your sacred attachment, so that you may have more then enough time to gain intimacy with the delusional teat you’ve bartered your enlightenment for. Enjoy it. You’ve earned it. And sacrificed your freedom for it. So go ahead and suck on it. And then swallow it, bitch.

And I’m not fucking around ova here. And I’m not fuckin’ around ova here. These three world quandaries will be corrected, post haste; or there will be serious serious consequences. The world has been practically brought down to it’s knees; all due to careless actions. Oops. See how easy that was? One small seemingly negligible negligence can translate into death for hundreds of thousands. So the recipes for disaster are not all that complicated. One simple act performed in just the right way, and the whole world can fall.

So, ignore this at your own risk. Compliance will render accord. Insubordination will yield only pestilence. If you choose to disregard this warning, then don’t be surprised if you wind up having to pay a very serious price. And that means everybody. And I don’t care if the majority of human beings never get to hear this message. That’s not my concern. It still applies to everyone, world wide, regardless if they’ve heard it or not. As long as this message reaches just one single solitary subconscious mind, the ordinance becomes enacted. If this message manages to reach just one lone ear, the injunction becomes written in stone; and will stay in effect indefinitely, until it is deemed otherwise.

Don’t make me have to repeat myself.

Stop having so many children. Stop polluting the planet. And stop the rampant abuse of animals. Now. Or else.

“You have the right to remain in quarantine. Anything you say can, and will, be used against you for a quarantine. You have the right to pay for a quarantine. If you cannot afford a quarantine, one will be provided for you.”

Hi Sage - Here are my questions: 1. Are there an infinite number of possible perceived subjective personas and realities/sensory information. 2. Is there any rhyme or reason to why reality looks the way it does and 3. Has awareness existed forever and will it continue to exist forever? Is it even possible for there to be no awareness?

1. Are there an infinite number of possible perceived subjective personas and realities/sensory information.

Answer: Yes. Pure potential has the capacity to manifest infinite varieties of illusion.

2. Is there any rhyme or reason to why reality looks the way it does?

Answer: No. Existence isn’t rational. Existence isn’t motivated by “reason.”

3. Has awareness existed forever and will it continue to exist forever? Is it even possible for there to be no awareness?

Answer: It’s hard to answer this question because there is no such thing as time; so what exactly is “forever”, refferng to? Better to say that awareness is always so, everlasting in everpresent nothingness, either dreaming, or in a state of dreamless sleep. Dreamless sleep is the closest you will come to the possibility of “no awareness.”

Meta Q & A: Part 5 - Nobody Agrees

Meta Q and A, part five. Nobody agrees. So I got an email the other day, and the communication poses a plentitude of complex philosophical questions. So I’ll go ahead and read the missive in it’s entirety, then, after a brief cogitative entr’acte, will jump right in and start penetrating, responding to the query with concise meticulous exactitude. The message comes from an entity traveling under the moniker of “JunkFlex.” And the message goes as follows, quote:

JunkFlex: “Hello Meta Sage, I have been enjoying your channel off and on for a couple of years now. I do hope you have the time to communicate with me!

I go about my life with a small circle of people that I come into contact with. None of which are willing to agree with my viewpoint. I participated in a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Test in 2010, it was the 3rd version. The results were not normal. Everyone I try to communicate my viewpoint on existence either can't or won't grasp it, no matter how verbosely I explain myself.

This is what I’ve been saying to people:

"I am not convinced that anything exists because I do not believe that the substance of reality must adhere to my initial basic assumptions as a 'supposed' entity within it"

(That one is more cunning because it states something about myself and my own beliefs and they may be able to swallow it better by first seeing me in the predicament of my own viewpoint then possibly apply that viewpoint to themself on their own accord)

"Existence is but the preoccupation of the existence centric mindset.”

People constantly have to reference a snippet of scientific theory they have heard about or they simply knock on the table in front of them and say "then how can this happen?" others will say, "if I pinch you it will hurt", suggesting that my sensation of physical discomfort or pain is somehow evidence. Even though the further I think about this topic the blurrier the logic seems to get in my head, I am confident that I need very little information but rather only reasoning with a healthy touch of abstraction to get the answer. (It is like I am seeing a blurry version of the logical construct from behind textured glass). I guess this is why many people entering the realm of 'armchair philosophy' will disguise their ideas as questions. So to end this email I will spout a few of those questions for you.

Isn't 'infinite everything' a little too messy to be plausible?

Could the premise of existence be an 'immature' notion?

Why would our surroundings be as simple as we are?

Players of a game must adhere to the rules of the game but does the game also have to adhere to those same rules?

Could the purposelessness of everything be an indicator that it does not actually exist?

In closing I would just like to mention that I did watch your video on existentialism and nihilism and it was comforting for me to listen to. At the end however you said something about my viewpoint.

'Absurdism, Existentialism and Nihilism' 15 Jul 2016.

"And if you want to be stubborn and deny your own existence, then who, may I ask is making this denial?"

And my answer to your question is with my last question:

Can everything actually exist within nothing?

Kind regards,

Junkflex (David).”, unquote.

Hitherto, inquisitive communication. Hereafter, assiduous response. And right off the bat, before we go any further, I want to suspend and smite down a certain phrase that was used several times in this transmission. And that’s this term, “viewpoint.”

Quote:

“None of my friends are willing to agree with my viewpoint.”

“Everyone I try to communicate my viewpoint on existence either can't or won't grasp it.”

“They may be able to swallow it better by first seeing me in the predicament of my own viewpoint then possibly apply that viewpoint to themself on their own accord.”

“At the end however you said something about my viewpoint.”

Unquote.

Alright JunkFlex. I appreciate your interest in philosophy. It’s a good sign. It’s shows that you might have the aptitude to continue on and perhaps one day uncover the truth. But it’s gonna involve a little more then acquiring a “viewpoint.” Indeed, breaching the pass and crawling our way through the treacherous mountains of lies and deception, and finding the way out to total freedom, will involve the surrender of all viewpoints. For, you see, a “viewpoint”, is but personal intellectualism. All but mere thoughts and beliefs inside one’s head. An “opinion.” (Burp sound.) Narrating dialogue, that has absolutely no bearing on the actual truth, which, if all parties involved have surrendered their viewpoints, will never be in variation, and cannot be disagreed upon under any circumstance.

And that’s one of the world’s biggest problems right now. This stupid idea that all beliefs should be afforded equal station and respectability, irrespective of their inherent truth values. That we cannot discriminate against ideas that enable ones to choose to hide in a delusion. That we must expend great time and effort to protect and support everyone’s particular fantasy bubble. That important rights and responsibilities will be granted to those who refuse to participate in the truth, and stubbornly cling to falsehoods, even to the point of detriment and degradation to others. This is what you think we should be fighting to uphold?

So yeah, in case it managed to escape your attention. Nobody agrees. And that can’t be stated enough. It’s nice that they think that they’ve got that luxury, isn’t it? Or, how do they say? We agree to disagree! That’s it. You gotta love that one. We can agree to disagree. In other words: We can easily avoid the truth by all agreeing to disagree about which particular lies we are holding as beliefs. Isn’t that such an efficient use of freedom?

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all lies men tell are created equal.”

Hey, nobody agrees. Except that we all agree to assume falsehoods, ANY falsehoods, over the acknowledgement of the fundamental truth. That’s the only thing we agree on, whole heartedly, but don’t ever bring this up. It’s an unconscious default, whose prevalence must be ignored in order to preserve it. It’s an unspoken rule of engagement, and you are not allowed to operate outside of it. Thus, it’s no real surprise that JunkFlex’s friends don’t agree with him about existence. Not that he’s taking any solid position about it, mind you. At least not with his first irresolution. Here, he’s basically just taking on the role of the skeptic; so there’s really not much for his friends to agree or disagree with; even though they would probably disagree with him anyway, even if he took a position. And why’s that? Because, once again, nobody agrees. And certainly nobody agrees about existence.

And that’s what this is basically about, isn’t it? Existence. It’s not a question of a universe or a god. Those are just ideas in your head. It’s a question of existence. What is existence, exactly. And how is this existence realized existentially. We want so badly for it to be attributable to something extrinsic, don’t we? Otherwise we might have to shoulder some responsibility, and we can’t have that, under any circumstance.

So we can’t expect to ever come to rightly understand the nature of existence if we can’t first establish the proper underlying foundation. And by “proper”, I mean what’s real and true; as opposed to an egoic delusion. That’s a huge difference. This is about embracing the undeniable base, unconditionally; not finding solace in a substitution; wherein you lie to yourself with some abstraction, attributing reality into an objectification, based on some literal interpretation of sensory perception.

Simply put, you can’t go anywhere until you’ve cultivated the clarity that reveals the context of reality to be the mind. Hence, while it’s good that you’re not convinced that anything exists because you do not believe that the substance of reality must adhere to your initial basic assumptions as a supposed entity within it, you should be sure not to let this uncertainty become an impediment to the truth of what’s always absolutely certain. What is the substance of reality? Seems you already suspect that it isn’t any assumed identity. And it seems you also suspect that it isn’t necessarily any object or environment with whom an assumed identity can interact. So if not any of these things, then what else can it be?

In answering, don’t think about it. You’ve made implications that you think you can arrive at truthful conclusions through reasoning and abstractions. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The moment you contemplate, the game is already lost. The murky oppression of the overthinking brain always clouds up the crystal clear vision of pure crisp lucidity. All that needs be done, is to simply become aware; to awaken to reality as the full extent of what is actually always already the case. This brings us to the domain of the pure lucid mind. It’s not a god or a universe. It’s the mind. For, what else would be giving a universe or a god context?

You seem to come a bit closer to this realization with your latter proposition. That is, "Existence is but the preoccupation of the existence centric mindset.”

This is a useful observation; as long as you can resist the unconsciously engrained tendency to always seek to contextualize the field of the mind into some sort of objectification. You think an objectification is a solid, and the content of the mind is abstract, but, in fact, your idea of an objectification is abstract, and the very field of the mind is the true solid. This is a trap that most assumed identities fall into. Beyond the existence created within the imagination of a pure mind, what else would a supposed “entity”, initially assume about the substance of reality? Unfortunately, a whole lot. And this is how the matter becomes quickly misconstrued; as, you can’t rightfully explicate the substance of “existence”, if you are adopting an ideological stance upon a faulty premise. That’s why people think knocking on a table proves something, or that the pain that results from getting pinched is some indication of an objectification. Hence, this is exactly how matter itself also becomes misconstrued; as, the externalization mindset conditioning is hinged on an assumption that physicality is primary and that awareness is a byproduct. This is the foundation of mental slavery.

To keep the truth free and clear, you definitely don’t need logic; so it matters not how blurry or focused the logic becomes. Reality is the substance of pure mind, not an analytical tool used to create equations to be employed as symbolic representations of reality. And the same goes for accumulating information, sensible reasoning, or organizational abstractions. Ontology is concerned with study, and learning about what may exist when considered intellectually. None of that shit deals in the truth of the ontic; that is, the raw truth about what *is*.

And so, we’ve come to the part where you’ve implied the transmutation of your ideas into questions; thus, I will parse and dissect the inquires with systematic comprehensibility.

Question. Isn't 'infinite everything' a little too messy to be plausible?

Answer. It depends on what you mean. Although, I don’t think “messy”, would be the proper descriptor. Is “infinite everything”, plausible as an independently existing concrete physical configuration? Not really. A physical context cannot exist without boundaries, and if there are boundaries, “everything”, can’t be infinite. The mistake is to assume this idea of material objectivity. “Infinite everything”, is completely plausible in the imagination of the pure mind. It’s not that an “infinite everything”, is continually existing in some actual physical location, but that the raw potential for an infinite amount of anythings to manifest, always continually exists in a nowhere. You must come to understand the nuance of this difference.

Question. Could the premise of existence be an 'immature' notion?

Answer. It depends on what the premise is. Although, a premise itself implies the theoretical, which is already way off base. “Notions”, about reality, are not the reality. An “idea”, about existence, isn’t the existence. Is this intellectual practice immature? Certainly. It’s the most common tendency of the novice existential explorer. But the way to maturate out of this impetuous exercise, is to either quiet down the noise of the mind, or to create some space between the clarity of awareness and the noise of the mind. However you foster the break down of the mind’s attachment to the mind’s identity as the noise of the mind, doesn’t matter. As long as you can get the job done, one way or another. The noise of the mind doesn’t determine the sum of an existence. Existence isn’t a hypothesis. The field of the mind itself is the foundation of existence. There is an awareness of phenomena, and this in itself can be called the composition of an existence. It’s quite easy. Even easy peasy. It’s only when you start to formulate theories about the awareness of experience, that you begin to run into trouble.

Question. Why would our surroundings be as simple as we are?

Answer. Who’s “we?” And are “we”, located in surroundings? The issue here is misidentification. There isn’t any objectified surroundings, just as there isn’t any objectified identity. Both are equally illusion, and in this sense, might find an equivalence in their basic simplicity. A molecule, a tree, a rock, water, a biological form, a terrestrial body; all equally comprised of the same composition foundation: Illusion. What is aware of illusion?

Question. Players of a game must adhere to the rules of the game but does the game also have to adhere to those same rules?

Answer. The game provides the player a set of rules, so it would follow that the game would uphold it’s own rules. A game, to even be considered a game, must have framework, and whenever there is a framework, rules will apply. So yes, within a set of borders, there are settings that are going to be consistent, but it’s not really correct to ask if the game has to follow the rules, because the game isn’t a player. The game isn’t in a position to adhere, the game is in the position of provision. The game itself is a field of engagement, which, in this case, is strictly the field of the mind; not an objectified location.

Question. Could the purposelessness of everything be an indicator that it does not actually exist?

Answer. Everything is purposeless? Do you not find the purpose of things? Tell me if you can find purpose in any of these things. (Picture of objects.) Seems anything might serve a purpose, but “things” requires a subject to fulfill this capacity. So, wherein is the purposelessness of everything? But I know what you really mean. You imagine you are located in some cosmological spectrum called a universe, and your consciousness is but a speck of celestial byproduct, and the “universe” is the grand ultimate context, and is an infinite empty vastness, cold and impersonal, with no objective purpose to be found anywhere. And if only this were true, then you’d be completely right. But it isn’t true, because the universe isn’t a physical environment to be occupied by a physical creature. Everything that is apparently manifested does not actually exist, and there’s many indications of this. But a better re-phrase of the question would be: Is a lack of objective purpose an indication of the illusory nature of perceptual phenomena? Yes, and there are many clues available, pointing towards this. The key with this, is understanding what a term like “exist” refers to. Existence isn’t a locality. Existence is the dream of a locality, located in the pure mind. It’s not even located in the pure mind, but is the imagination of the pure mind itself.

And lastly.

Question. Can everything actually exist within nothing?

Answer. Everything doesn’t actually exist. There isn’t any actual objects. The truth, is that the entirety of the perpetual phenomena experience, that we call a “reality”, is all but an illusion of pure mind. Pure mind is your true identity. Pure mind is made out of nothingness.

Smoke on that.

What will happen after the body dies ?.

It will slowly decompose, until all that’s left is the bones.

That’s not what you want to ask though. What you want to ask is: what happens to your individual consciousness after death.

Answer: it undergoes dilution.

A similar question could be posed about a cup of water. What happens to this specific water if it is thrown back into a lake?

A similar fate awaits your individual consciousness.

Pure Potentialism: Productive Destruction

So, returning once again to the philosophy of Pure Potentialism, I’d like to take some time to discuss a core principle in the philosophy, which is employed through a deliberate methodical technique. A fundamental proficiency used by spiritual warriors who strive to free their minds from mental slavery. This is a skill known as: “Productive destruction.”

And, as many of you may have already guessed, this is a process that will seek to target your binding attachments, and work to sever them permanently. A prospect that, for most of you, will be one of the most terrifying endeavors in your entire lifetime. So it’s a process that is not at all for the weak minded or the faint of heart. It is a world shattering undertaking; one that will take a calm mind, a strong will, and a steel pair of balls. The intention here is to destroy the mind’s mental dependency on empty unsubstantial phenomena, and begin to build up a strong foundation of independence, and non-reliance on illusion.

And, some of you may say:

“Oh no, Sage, must we be so destructive? Please Sage. I have a special exception. My particular delusion warrants a distinct examination. It would be closed minded of you to not give the specific piece of illusion I’m valuing the proper consideration!”

Of course. I know that you suck on a very special teat. I can understand your reservations. And you’re right: Destructive activity is usually always considered a delusional endeavor. To gain pleasure or gratification from causing tragedy, or to behave destructively out of anger, or out of some other negative emotion, would definitely be an example of evil conduct. The only exception to this usually always prudent discernment, is when it comes to tearing down toxic falsehoods. In these particular cases, the deconstructive efforts would then be classified as “productive destruction.”

Yes, productive destruction, as opposed to just calling it nihilism; which, at this point, ideologically, may be beyond any kind of constructive restoration. Originally, I did set out to try to ameliorate the philosophy of nihilism, in order to illustrate certain implications derived from it’s deeper meanings, but, over time, have slowly come to realize that this task is mostly a fool’s errand. Previously, I found some benefit in employing the concept as a supportive instructional tool; but now, as I continue to diligently craft the philosophy of Pure Potentialism, I realize that I really don’t need nihilism, and the creation of a new title, and a new description for the technique, is in order.

The great advantage in creating a new classification for the technique, is that now, we can discard the concept of nihilism, and finally be free from all of it’s unnecessary over-encumbering baggage. We don’t want the many various perceptions of nihilism to become a burden and interfere with our quest for freedom and enlightenment. Unfortunately, too many individuals have too many negative associations tied up with the concept of nihilism, whining about it constantly, and in philosophy, use it as the ultimate scapegoat, and can’t seem to get passed the conditioning in their minds that automatically compels them to condemn and demonize it as the most evil ideology to ever exist. So, due to these mental snags, there’s been some discussions about the possibility of an alternative classification. Hence, “productive destruction”, was chosen to propound.

Contrary to counter productive destruction, which are the selfish actions of delusion and addiction, productive destruction is a practice of clarity and mindfulness; the selfless efforts of a pure lucid mind, who makes consistent advancement towards clearing out an open space, which will allow the necessary room for the truth to find it’s ground.

That’s right. The truth. The fundamental truth. This is the only thing I am concerned with, and nothing else. The fundamental truth.

Now this is where the: “Yeah, but what about’s”, come in.

“Yeah, but what about this?”, and, “Yeah, but what about that?”

Again, I am only interested in the fundamental truth, and nothing else. That’s the whole reason why I don’t need to hear any of your special exceptions. What part of: “THERE ARE NO SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS”, don’t you understand? An enlightened mind has absolutely no use for philosophical debate or ideological dialogue, something that raging intellectuals can’t seem to wrap their high I.Q.’s around. Have you ever noticed this? Whenever you are engaging in any kind of philosophical discourse, with one who is profoundly deluded, you will notice, that all the delusional one can do, is point towards illusion. That’s all they can do. And if you refute the specific, then they will just point towards something else in illusion, desperately imploring you to give it more attention. And this will repeat endlessly, over and over, and on and on. A tad bit of nonsense, that I’d like to strip right down to the bare bones, then crack those bones down into a fine powdered dust with a sharp bladed whip.

Sorry, but I find absolutely no grounds to justify any examination or consideration of your many views and ideas. Nothing about your views and ideas would mandate that. So don’t expect me to be reverent or humble towards them. I am humble when it’s warranted, but humbleness doesn’t equate to being respectful to people’s delusions. No, I don’t respect points of view. No, I don’t have to be “opened minded”, to your ideas. Open minded to what? Lies and deception? That’s what I should remain opened minded about? Keep an open mind to your specific brand of misapprehension and duplicity? No thanks. I don’t have time to entertain delusions, and it doesn’t matter what type of wrapping paper you cover the delusion with. It’s still a delusion. I only respect the fundamental truth. And the fundamental truth is not found by sifting through the sandbox of mankind’s many views and ideas. In fact, it’s these types of views and ideas that are the main proposed target of productive destruction.

Productive destruction is an endeavor that is definitely worthy of encouragement. It is effort that should be commended, as it is conducive towards enlightenment. We don’t want to become so overly circumspect that we allow ourselves to lose clarity and then fall into a delusion, no. We must go about our duty with unbending focus, destroying all falsehoods aggressively, and with a vigorous sense of urgency.

Now some of your ears just perked up, because you heard the phrase “destroying falsehoods”, and now some of you are chomping at the bit, licking your chops and foaming at the mouth, so ready able willing and eager to rush out into the world and destroy something you condemn and hate, that you think in your mind is outside of yourself. And if only this were ever the case, then I’d really be so very happy for you. But, unfortunately for you, it isn’t the case. Not even in the slightest bit. So, accordingly, I’m wholly unimpressed with your zeal and passion. I’m not in the least bit inspired by your fanatical devotion to the cause. Sorry, but this existence isn’t about your ego’s desire to live out one of it’s heroic white knight fantasies. The quest to slay the dragon and save the princes is null and void. Forget about a triumphant victory and the reception of great treasure and rewards. Those are all the delusions of a useless sleeping weasel coward who can’t face up to the truth.

And when it comes to the application of productive destruction, it isn’t even accurate to call it “destroying falsehoods”, anyway; as, nothing is ever really destroyed in reality. This is why the wise do not venture out and seek to destroy aspects of the external world. Wisdom doesn’t do that. Not to say that to actually physically destroy an object is always out of the question. It isn’t. Sometimes, there will be cases where a corrupted manifestation will, indeed, need to be destroyed, but these types of measures should always be a last course of action, and should only be a matter presided over by the truly wise and high minded.

And you can call that elitism, if that makes you feel better, but henceforth, it will remain the case, and justly so, nevertheless. What, you thought you’d have some say in the matter? You think the wise council of the clear calm minds has some kind of interest or obligation to consult with the mob of arrogant self absorbed heedless myopic egos? Uh, no. This is a matter requiring maturity and wisdom. This is a matter requiring discipline, mindfulness and efficiency. With great power comes great responsibility, and great responsibility will no longer be placed into the weak inexperienced hands of the inept and unqualified. Your extreme selfishness doesn’t entitle you to a say, or lend you any eligibility. This is no more an elitist exercise then a parent making a decision for a 3 year old child. Sorry if you don’t like it, but it’s just the way it’s gonna be from now on.

If you feel disgruntled with these standards, then please, by all means, grow up, discipline yourself and take on some responsibility. But, just so you know, in order to acquire the necessary maturation and inner development needed to take this course of effort, you must first attend to the conditions of your own mind. This is a matter that will not be accomplished through wasting time with useless efforts of rushing out into the outside world to destroy physical configurations. As previously stated, you are not even really destroying anything anyway. You might change the surface of an illusion, at best; but ultimately, nothing has gone anywhere. Or more aptly stated, nothing remains nowhere. You can’t destroy something that doesn’t even exist in the first place. And that’s not a justification for you to be destructive, by the way. If you indulge in destruction for selfish interest, then you are deluded and you fail the objective, period. Thinking in your head that nothing matters because you think you know intellectually that everything is an illusion, isn’t any kind of pass; and if you could put aside all that intellectualism, then you might appreciate why.

Yeah. You and your precious thoughts, which become your sacred attachments, which you then classify as your beliefs and values, and defend thereafter with blind passionate obstinance. You are way too smug and secure in your thoughts. You rely on them too heavily, and take refuge in them constantly; but you won’t be advancing your mind towards freedom and enlightenment one bit, until you have fully mastered them. And that’s something you’re gonna need to come to terms with. You think thoughts create utility, but they don’t. Thoughts create limits, boundaries and obstacles. Thoughts create distractions, diversions and over-complications. Thoughts transform you from a good potential student, into a judgmental bigoted pig headed jackass.

Yeah. The thinking mind and all it’s profound intellectualism. This is the area that is the main target for the productive destruction; a clarification that needs some amplification. For many aspiring students, a lot of unfortunate issues have cropped up, because rampant chaos and misconduct have broke out in the training grounds. An unfortunate circumstance that is interfering with their learning and development. Hence, due to these disruptions, a wise sage or a spiritual yogi can no longer perform their duties effectively, and as such, the prevailing conditions are ruled by an overall state of disorder, and will remain so, until the problem in this unfortunate situation has been properly revised. And one of the few ways a mentor or guide can reform these corrupted students appropriately, is by completely emptying out their minds. And it’s important to highlight this distinction. The aim is to remove the poison from the mind, and then leave the mind empty; not remove the poison from the mind then replace that poison with a different kind of poison.

Regrettably, these mind poisons have become highly comforting to the prospective students, and are held onto very tightly, as they are ingrained into their minds subconsciously, thus, the poisons will not be easily overcome. Students have grown very familiar and secure with these poisons, so even though the poisons are extremely detrimental to the student’s overall well being, the student will automatically resist any efforts to remedy it, and will even fight to defend it. So it will be a difficult process to undertake, to be sure.

Ultimately, these students are gonna have to deal with being separated from a soothing delusion, and be left to face a cold stark reality, without any emotional support. Like a little suckling infant, who’s time has come to be weaned off the teat. Awwwww. Understandably, a little fledging doesn’t wanna give up on his breast milk, but, of course, father knows best, so now the time has come for you to grow up and stand on your own two feet. And no, you cannot suck your thumb, or use a pacifier in the interim. There will be no replacement nipple or substitute breast milk, so don’t anticipate transition to a new surrogate. The teat will be removed, and you are expected to go through your period of withdrawal, then learn how to adjust to existence without any teat. This is the only way annihilate these bad behaviors.

Most of the ongoing bad behaviors that are currently interfering with students from making advancements towards inner development, stem from ill seeds that have been previously planted, deep in their minds. These are malevolent seeds that are infecting the student’s spirit, filling them up with insidious thoughts and beliefs, tainting their vulnerable impressionable minds with mental sicknesses that enable violence, greed, hate, fear and envy. Pervasive malicious seeds that, if not sought out and eradicated with great haste, will inevitably spread further and further, till eventually, they will completely contaminate the student’s entire mind. In most cases, the student isn’t even aware of this, and will just assume the implanted dark psychology to be an integral part of his inner being.

Where did these bad seeds come from? The origins are numerous. Bad fathers, or lack thereof. Abusive step parents, or guardians. False teachers. The politics or religions of psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, megalomaniacs, cultists, zealots, and dictators. The source of bad seeds is many, but the remedy for this oppressive affliction is solitary and pure. The evil seeds are found in the mind, hence productive destruction is process that is strictly targeting aspects in the field of the mind, and not any aspect of external physicality. This is perhaps where the misconceptions about nihilism went awry, but where the procedure of productive destruction will realign and rectify.

The bad behaviors are a mere symptom of a sinister malignancy that has taken up root, deep within the mind; and it’s this kind of evil seed that needs to be the target of attack, deconstruction and utter annihilation. The issue is in the mind, hence productive destruction isn’t an act of homicide. Productive destruction is an act of menticide; as in, a systematic effort to destroy any abstractions that are serving as the binding traps that keep your mind bogged down in mental slavery.

How would you describe the ego of a narcissist?

An ego who is hopelessly lost in delusion, and is completely transfixed by it’s own reflection. But this is what all egos share in common, really...

The narcissistic ego will have the specific traits of being overly obsessed with self image, an overinflated sense of self importance, and a feeling of entitlement to invasively impose it’s desires however it chooses, even at the expense of others.

Meta Ethics

In a follow up to the last video, “Morality and Spiritual Training for Trolls”, we’ll continue our expansive evaluation of morality, and start out by clarifying the actual subject matter of the expatiation. The consideration here really isn’t morality. That would be technically incorrect. Better to classify it as “ethics”; and in this particular case, even more accurately described as “meta ethics.” And this will be the main focus of today’s video, with more content to come in follow ups, as we’ll continue to broaden the scope of the examination, and convert this exploration of morality into an ongoing series. But before we even get into the specific implications of meta ethics, let us first understand the reason why we should make a distinction between morality and ethics.

Just referencing a “morality”, doesn’t speak to the ideological considerations behind a moral code. Saying you have morality is essentially the same thing as saying you have rules or regulations. It’s just basic terminology referring to a generalization, and says nothing to the possible equity or inequity of such a generalization. We could very well have instances of ill conceived morality, or of morality founded on questionable principles. That’s why the ethics are of upmost importance, as they deal with the philosophy behind the rules of conduct. If you want to understand whether or not a morality in question is either solid or slipshod, you need not look any further then the underlying ethics. This is the main reason why it’s significant to distinguish morality from ethics.

So, when speaking on ethics, it should also be clarified that conventional ethics are very low minded. Conventional ethics are the worm eyed position. Conventional ethics are constructed by, and revolve solely around, the illusory egoic identity. That’s why “meta ethics”, are a far better alternative for consideration; as, ethics that are based solely around the primitive desires of a desperate needy ego will, necessarily, lead to low minded standards, inequity and moral turpitude. And that’s because the ego is an inherently selfish repository by default, and due to this, simply can’t be trusted to make a mindful decision about anything. The ego is just too selfish.

But what’s wrong with that? After all, “Richard Dawkins and The Selfish Gene.”, right? “Ayn Rand and The Virtue of Selfishness.”, no?

Right. A genetically selfish waste producing vacuum who thinks it’s a virtue just by being a genetically selfish waste producing vacuum. How admirable! Is there anything wrong with that? I dunno. Is there anything wrong with a man who spends all day, every day, licking his own balls? If so, what would that be, exactly? What would be your diagnosis, for a man who spent all his time with his head between his legs, lapping at his own testicles?

Whatever. Go ahead and lick your own balls; but why is it so hard to lick your own balls without impinging on others? That’s all you gotta do. Lick your own balls without impinging on others.

“But why is it wrong to impinge on others?”

The mere fact that this needs to be explained to you is an indication of mental derangement. Let’s pick up this conversation with you strapped in the interrogation chair. I’m sure we can straighten out your mental confusion about why it’s not cool to impinge on others in a fortnight, all with nothing more then a knife, a fork, a spoon, and a bottle of salt.

If you need a mundane reason why: because it isn’t civilized. We’re trying to imagine that we’re building a civilization ova here, and sociopathic actions such as lying, cheating, stealing, raping, and murdering, are recklessly barbaric uncivilized behaviors. You want to be a savage? Fine, be a savage. You’ll be treated just like any other rabid animal rampaging the landscape, and simply be locked in a cage, or put down. There’s absolutely no issue with hunting you to extinction. You can then take your place next to the saber tooth tiger and the dodo bird.

If you want to hear the higher reason why: because preying on others is a delusional behavior; and hiding in a delusion is a cowardly way to elude the truth.

So, a ravenous short sided ego, struggling to survive, will find all kinds of ample justifications for immoral behavior; and, in some cases, will also discover that it can derive sustenance or perverse indulgent gratification, at the expense of another; and, due to this, supposedly lacks the capacity to understand how, and why, this is wrong; which is further reinforced by cues taken from “nature”, which seem to endorse predatory exploits. This is where the idea of moral relativity comes into play; the view that:

“Moral judgments are true or false only relative to some particular standpoint (for instance, that of a culture or a historical period), and that no standpoint is uniquely privileged over all others.”

The language of that description tells you everything you need to know about why moral relativity is a pile of archaic garbage. No standpoint is uniquely privileged over all others? Are you kidding me? With the plethora of knowledge now so widely available, due to the mass digitalization of information and a global connectivity facilitated by way of the World Wide Web, are they actually suggesting with a straight face that a contemporary man doesn’t have an advantaged educational position over a man of antiquity? Are you serious? As it stands today, the average modern individual has potential access to more information in one day, then the average ancient individual had in an entire lifetime! Whereas the ancient standpoint only had knowledge of it’s own current period, and perhaps a partial knowledge of limited history, the modern standpoint has knowledge of the ancient standpoint, all the history preceding it, and everything else that unfolded thereafter, all the way up to the present moment. It’s not even a contest. Hence, one of the reasons why I posit that the whole idea of moral relativity is archaic. After all, moral relativism is a *view* that is sympathetic to a *standpoint*. In other words, a worm eyed position, referring to another worm eyed position: the low minded domain of the hungry ego.

Ego based ethics produce substandard moralities; and we have seen countless examples of this from various civilizations throughout history. These are the types of ethics that made sinister methodologies, such as slavery, torture, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and pederasty, culturally acceptable in their particular times; of which, makes it truly questionable whether or not these populations could rightfully be considered “civilizations”, proper. A true civilization is defined as a stage of human development that is considered most advanced; and it should be obvious that the populations that engaged in these type of wicked practices would hardly be qualified as civilized.

So yes, they were substandard morals absolutely, because they were based on substandard ethics; which was often the direct result of ignorant myopia and stubborn superstition. And we shouldn’t be afraid to denounce or condemn these subpar morals due to some idea about cultural differences. Let us not forget that the biological definition of “culture”, is the cultivation of cellular organisms in an artificial medium containing nutrients; with “artificial”, being the key word to remember here. And that’s because culture is artifice. Culture is contrived.

And some of you may say:

“Hey, whoa, Sage! Are you gonna devalue my culture?”

And I say hey, you bet your damn ass I will. I’m a reality deconstructionist, and everything you hold dear is on the table.

Your *culture*, huh. How insipid. That’s like saying I’m devaluing your cosmetics. I’m not sure where you get this idea that anyone should pay homage to your luggage. To uncover the truth, know thyself. And the way to know thyself is by letting go of all the artifice you’ve clung to, in desperation for an identity. No, you are not a gender. You are not a sexuality. You are not a race. You are not a religion. You are not even a human being, so forget about all the heritage and traditions of human beings that you cherish so deeply. These are *all* illusory identifications; other wise known as “bullshit”, and culture isn’t exempt from being part of the bullshit. Stop taking your ego so seriously. So what about multiculturalism? Fine, but no less bullshit then singleculturalism. Multiculturalism is a reference to different layers of fake contrived bullshit, all getting combined! Yum yum! Just what a cauldron of one type of bullshit really needs; a blend of additional types of bullshit to give the bullshit stew the real nice unique savory flavor of diverse bullshit! Eclectic bullshit is so much tastier then regular bullshit, didn’t you know? A bullshit so palpable, it’s palatable. Ah yes! How sweet it is! And it attracts quite a sundry of nasty flies and shady scavengers. So yeah. All culture is fake. Stop using it as a shield against the empty truth.

And, needless to say, by the same token, you can do the exact same thing with god; the idea in your head that you use to justify all the other bullshit identifications you’ve become attached to. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that having a supreme being in the mix changes anything, or did anything to justify abhorrent behaviors throughout history. If anything, it just made the situation ten times worse; as, nothing emboldens a myopic ego more then the imagined personal endorsement of an almighty god; which, as we all know, is a path of complete willful dishonesty, or maybe just superstitious stupidity, as the case may be. This is a type of ethical formula that leads to nothing but pure corruption. In fact, you can’t even rightfully say that the morals of religion are based on any true ethics. Ethics are the product of deep minded philosophy, and there’s nothing at all philosophical or deep minded, about binary rules designed to acquire feeble acquiescence. There’s nothing philosophical about blindly adhering to dogma out of fear of some judgmental entity. That’s why it’s called “theology”, and not philosophy.

In truth, the concept of god is a projection of man. See, they tell you that god created man, so that man could, in turn, worship god; (an insane tale unto itself wherein a manic depressive deity with an isolation phobia finds solace in masturbation with self imposed amnesia.), but, the truth is that, man created god, so that man could worship himself via an imagined god by proxy. (an even more insane tale of rampant self important impotence trying to pass off masturbation as legitimate divinity.)

And, of course, this became a very effective method of dominating fellow egos; setting up dogmatic dictums and the subsequent punishments for non-compliance, all under the guise of having a religion. A complete con job. But who could really blame these ascendant hustlers? Most egos are weak and docile, and cannot survive by their own wits, and need a strong outside factor to command them, and they will be submissive to this dominance in exchange for room and board, all of which only increases their overall slavery, but yet relieves them of all responsibility!

What a fantastic tradeoff for a lifelong slave! Everything you need to survive will be provided at a minimum, in exchange for complete servitude. And never forget, in addition to the commitment of being a full time slave, you will also OWE your master for the service of providing you with the bare minimum. That’s the reason why you can’t just leave. It’s not like you can decide to back out of the deal because you now suddenly think you can find a way to be independent, no; it’s too late. You *owe*, motherfucker. Always remember that. And it doesn’t matter that it’s contrived debt. You owe.

“You owe. You owe. You owe.”

Got a clearer picture of what’s really going on here? This type of organized corruption is the main reason why an “atheist”, was even ever born, and why morality became tainted in the eyes of such atheists. Religion and morals developed a sordid association, and almost rightfully so. But this is a good thing. Stop trying to use god as a shield against the empty truth.

So, this is why I submit a proposal for meta ethics. And what exactly is meta ethics? Meta ethics would be fundamental principles with a wider domain then that of the first person perspective of the worm eyed ego. This would be ethics based on lucidity as the highest ideal. These would be ethics that make determinations and develop morals, from the outside looking in, so to speak. A standard that would be a lot more closer to objective, (as in, an outlook that’s impartial to any particular identity’s personal feelings or opinions.) then anything we’ve imagined could exist thus far. I argue that it has never existed, because the awakening is still in an embryonic stage, therefor there is no such animal as an ego that isn’t partial to it’s own bias. Mental slavery demands that you be prejudiced to the personality you’ve associated as an individual identity. This is your sacred attachment. And you will not deviate from it, one bit. You will remain obedient to it, damn it. You will be shamelessly obedient to it.

Meta ethics are exactly what they imply. Ethics that are of a higher order, and are self referential to the ego from this higher station. Only from this position are all egos seen as the same, and therefor can all be treated the same, and will have a code of conduct that applies to them all equally the same. From this position there isn’t any relative aspects to morals. They are always absolute, because they cover the entire framework and do not concern themselves with any selfishly biased worm eyed considerations. In this way, there won’t be any exceptions because of cultural or historical standpoints. There won’t be any allowances set aside for a reckless predatory ego who wants to gain something at the expense of another. There are no grey areas, or ambiguity, concerning the right and wrong of conduct. Lucidity is the foundation, and a context outside the ego is the reference point. This is where the high minded standards of meta ethics finds it’s ground.

[sagebodisattva]

Why would real I create a unified stream of information that manifests an ego mechanism or any life form. Would there be a desire or out of desperation or perhaps "why" would not be the right question and questions may not be the right way to ponder this truth as this real I is perhaps beyond whys and why nots?

Yes, pure potential is beyond whys and why nots, yet it manifests identities that ponder why and why not. The answer isn’t validating, so identities are not usually satisfied with the explanation, and keep looking for something more self gratifying.

There isn’t any objective reason. All of this is imagined into existence from static potential, and there is no powerful entity governing it.

Morality and Spiritual Training for Trolls

Alright. Morality and spiritual training for trolls. A common misguided tendency among many novice philosophers, or older rigid inflexible thinkers, (which is never good; as, that which is inflexible will inevitably crack, then eventually snap in half,) is this premature assumption that a lack of objective outputs automatically translates into subjective meaninglessness. That, there can be no such thing as morality; nor any purpose that could be derived that would be worthy of focus and discipline; all such assertions being complete and utter nonsense, and lame justifications for just plain laziness. And I’ll go into detail as to why. And oh, you know you don’t even have to worry about a thing, because of course I’m going to go into the why, ad nauseam.

So I got a couple of recent comments from an insidious troll; and seeing as how the comments are conveniently on topic, I’m going to serve them up, and then slap them down with brute force; dissect and deconstruct every nuanced detail of them, with sniper precision. Because that’s what I do.

A little backstory on this particular troll. We’ll call him, “dual-sock”. This troll might loosely be considered a former aspirant of enlightenment, who, for a brief time, earnestly gave a half hearted attempt to free his mind, but, ultimately, in the long run, failed on his path dismally, then quickly fell into the shadows of the darkness thereafter; and has since degenerated into a low wretched state; reduced to a vile repugnant creature; a loathsome abomination completely bereft of any positive qualities; a blighted deluded consciousness, whose overall potential has become completely mired by his own dark insatiable appetites for attachments, desires, and heavy negativity. It was the type of deterioration that saw this troll come to embrace sinister ideologies, such as nationalism, and just plain full out racism. This type of descent qualified the troll to be gagged, bound, blocked and buried. And he was indeed subsequently blocked from the Meta Sage channel. And thus, such was done.

Hence, the troll was CAST OUT of the fold, banished, and then exiled forever into oblivion, never to return. And, for awhile, the troll vanished; finding respite and refuge down in the bowels of the sewers; hiding deep in the sewage where no one could find him. But, eventually, he awoke from his deep troll hibernation, and gradually rose to the muck of the surface, where he would, once again, re-emerge, raising his ugly head up out of the slop and slurry; and has since been spending most of his time prowling around in the shadows of the internet landscape, lurking about under rickety bridges, and haunting the acres of old abandoned playgrounds; all the while festering in his malcontent; stewing in the juices of his own personal deep hatred for freedom and enlightenment. And so it was. And so shall it be.

Fast forward to current times. One morning recently, I noticed that this stalker troll is suddenly commenting again! So, either he somehow got unblocked, which is a basic impossibility, or, he simply created a new account, which, incidentally, is one of his greatest proficiencies. So very adept in his artful deceptions, yet so very incredibly bankrupt in the core fiber of his being. And so, he made a couple of new comments on a couple of different videos. And, as usual, has shown that he hasn’t grown any more insightful or intelligent with the passage of time. It might even be argued that he has regressed, and is now being passive aggressive, using a sock account to make an initial comment, then waiting to see if the Meta Sage would respond, and if and when I did, he would then have the opportunity to chime in to the conversation with a comment under his main account, responding on the thread without it seeming like he started the comment exchange. And it was this same type of comment configuration that occurred for both of his new comments on both of my videos. A desperate ploy for attention. Shameful. And pathetic. And exactly why he’s acquired the sobriquet of “dual-sock.”

So, without further ado, on to the dual-sock’s comments, which I will now slice dice chop and mop, and then block.

In the first of his comments, he makes a rambling statement to a subscriber named “Sew Me”, who just got finished having a comment exchange with the Meta Sage, concerning a possible incongruent relationship between lucidity and morality, which, coincidentally, also ties in to the main subject of this video. The video on which this dialogue occurred, was an oration of disapprobation on pollution. And so, I will read the comment exchange, as it happened, including the dual-sock’s remark at the end, which I’ll then circle back around and skewer in conclusion.

So here’s the comment exchange:

Sew Me: “sure, fine, but you seem to venture into moralizing and it doesn't follow from the other content or you don't convincingly connect it.”

Meta Sage: “It connects solidly. We are students, here to undergo spiritual training, in order to free the mind from mental slavery. Behaviors that are conducive towards enlightenment are worthy of encouragement. Behaviors that are conducive towards delusion are worthy of condemnation. For a sage not to uphold these standards would be a dereliction of duty.”

Sew Me: “i guess, i cant really argue that littering large or small is good, but i still feel something is missing.”

Meta Sage: “Yes, something is missing. A few things, actually. Mainly, discipline, mindfulness and efficiency.”

That was the initial exchange; to which, dual-sock decides to now chime in, and comments, quote:

dual-sock: “What’s missing, is the recognition of his de-evolution into attachments and valuation of illusion. As if there was some point to this place we find ourselves in. A training ground, a spiritual training ground, he tells you. Is that what this is? Training for what? Ask him that. What are we training for? Oh, that’s right, NOTHING... And does nothing require the illusion of training for some end? Lol. He’s descending into the darkness, slowly but surely. He’s projecting his valuation of a future world for his child. He’s finding PURPOSE here. He’s finding, because there is a sense of self that is searching. It really is that simple. I gladly welcome him to the darkness. At least now he’s letting his morality flow. A powerful sith lord he will become. Or, he will fade into irrelevance. Either way, who really cares?”, unquote.

Well, obviously YOU care. And more then just a bit. In fact, it seems quite obsessively, to be exact. Apparently, enough caring to warrant a haunting on the video by the shadowy specter of the dual-sock. Please. Go away, hungry ghost. There’s nothing for you here. No one summoned you. So why dost thou harken to me? Go back to the shadows. Go out back to moan and groan in the boneyard, where you belong. All of this malcontent within you is just due to the fact that you are heart broken over the knowledge that, soon, you will no longer be able to continue to successfully fool people into attributing power and responsibility onto some imagined externally existing inventory item. So naturally you’ve become irritated and disappointed, but I’m so completely glad you’ve become disillusioned; because all this fake bullshit that’s currently being used for self pacification and willful delusion, is coming to an end! And you don’t like it. You want to be able to continually hide in delusion, and all the implications about lucidity, truth and awareness, will just spoil everything. Awwwww. Poor baby! The little baby needs his little baby bottle! That’s why the poor little baby is lamenting that there isn’t any point.

“As if there’s some point to this place we find ourselves in!”

Of course there’s no pre-existing point. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any point. There may be a point, but it isn’t a point that’s gonna be supplied to you. And that’s because sensory perception is mind created phenomena. You can imagine it to be an objectified manifestation in your mind, all you want; if that makes you feel better, but that doesn’t change the fact that perception is a complete fabrication. And you’re not okay with this. Hence worship of god. Hence worship of objects. That’s the difference between a true escapist and a true realist; but the REAL difference, rather then the continually told lie of the inverse. And as such, there are those that shun the truth, and reject mind created reality, most commonly materialists or theists; thereby authentic escapism. And there are those that welcome the truth, and accept mind created reality, usually some type of nihilist or existentialist; thereby authentic realism. You see, existentialism doesn’t have a problem with the contrived nature of sensory phenomena. But this is your exact trouble. You want purpose and morality to be factors supplied to you by some type of superior outside power. You want to feel exceptional. You want to be anointed; so you wish some otherworldly aspect would materialize, to see that your washed, then smear your body down with holy oil; so as to better bestow a divine hand job upon you, all because you are just so god damned unbelievably fucking special. Well, unfortunately for you, but luckily for the rest of us, it ain’t happening.

No, there isn’t any point out there, waiting for you to find. And there also isn’t any “place” for a sense of self to find itself in. Yeah, “in.” This sense of self is apparently located INSIDE some type of parameter, right? That’s why you keep insisting that there’s some sense of self out there searching for a purpose. Always taking everything way too literally. Places, inside, outside, self, others. All externalizations. But, it’s understandable why. Of course you’re not going to understand the implications of existentialism, because you are not lucid. At all. So, naturally, you wouldn’t be able to recognize where the source of reality is. Because you’re always too busy looking past it. Therefor, you apparently need a purpose to be forcibly penetrated into you, by something you think in your mind is extrinsic; otherwise god will die, and then everything just gets ruined for you, and then you’ll be forced into cynicism, and then compelled to believe that purpose, and hence morality, are ultimately worthless! And then everything goes downhill from here. What a dilemma indeed!

Basically, just like a little anally wounded theist, who wants to take his ball and go home, all because there isn’t some big sky daddy out there to give a blowjob to. Awwwww. You just can’t seem to get passed your little oral fixation, can you. And I know, anyone who tries to help you to stand up on your own two feet and be a man, is an asshole, all because you can’t get passed your little oral fixation, and you insist on giving fellatio to flying spaghetti monsters. Well, get off your hands and knees and get over it! And don’t bother saying that it isn’t what you’re doing, because it’s EXACTLY what you’re doing, whether you consciously realize it or not. And it doesn’t matter if you say you are not a theist, because your mindset achieves the exact same depressively oppressive mind state. Just because you’ve replaced “god”, with some narrative about an extraterrestrial, a secret society, a DNA molecule, or whatever other bullshit externalization you’ve come up with, doesn’t make it any different. Same fecal matter, different anus. Understand: There isn’t any objective aspect out there to act as your supplier. So stop searching for one; like some drug addicted junkie, looking for a dealer to jock for a chance at some product. That makes you no better then a cheap common dirty whore. And that’s truly contemptible.

You mock my call for discipline, mindfulness and efficiency because, by your estimation, it must be the result of attachment and the valuation of illusion, and it’s completely understandable why you’d think that, due to it being the only frame of reference you can conceive of; because you are truly an unabashed attachment whore, and a shameless value junky. When one can only intellectually consider the concept of lucidity, rather then lucid awareness itself, then it would seem to logically follow that, if one learns that sensory perception is illusion, then this will ultimately mean that nothing matters, and this will justify recklessness, and eventually become a license to be a predator. And this is the part you just can’t seem to understand. Hence, this is where I step in to expound.

First off, no on ever said the objective is to eradicate value, reason, purpose or narrative. You are only being asked to detach from these utilities. And before you even ask, no, you can’t. Anyone who tries to manipulate this process to foster the ego will meet quick remand. The idea that lucidity will lead to a loophole that will allow the playable character to cheat the game and fulfill all it’s twisted desires, is just that: an idea. It doesn’t follow in actual methodology, and is incongruent to reality. Pursuing desire is necessarily a fall into delusion; as, any craving for illusion can only be sustained by a loss of clarity. If it’s clearly laid bare that all sensory perception is mind created, then a desire for any of this phenomena; that is, the fear based motivation to grasp or push away at illusion as a means to some end, relies completely on completely burying the truth. So get that right. We subtract the ATTACHMENT to value, reason, purpose or narrative; not the value, reason, purpose or narrative itself.

Secondly, it’s also not about abstinence, or the denial of certain inventory items to your playable character; another pitfall you just can’t seem to stay out of. Again, it’s not about pulling or pushing. It’s about seeing the true nature of what you’re pulling and pushing, and adjusting to the truth accordingly. Hence, valuation of illusion isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s the attachment to valuations of illusion that becomes a problem. How many times must this be said before you can comprehend it? Of course illusion has some value, as illusion assists in our spiritual training. Not for you to cling to it desperately. Hence, purpose itself isn’t necessarily an issue. Attachment to purpose is the issue. Understand? It’s okay to interact with illusion. Just don’t become attached to interacting with illusion.

So, with that said, here comes your big question: how can you possibly establish any discipline or proper conduct in a context that is objectively meaningless and isn’t governed over by an all seeing super power that manipulates you into certain behaviors by doling out punishment and reward? Apparently, in your mind, you can’t. That’s why you relegate morality to the workings of a Sith Lord; as, without a god to dictate morality, that leaves man alone to establish a moral code; and, of course, that means human morality must be evil; as, man can’t be anything good, without a god to MAKE him good, right? Which is why you compared my righteous stance against pollution to a Sith Lord. Please. Keep that distinction for yourself. I think it’s YOU who is doing the projecting. Although, realistically, you would hardly be considered a Sith Lord anyway. More like a Sith LARVA. That’s about it. A measly little mealybug; a parasite who seems content to continually suck on the juices of a mighty and righteous host. A simple pest. An annoying little nuisance fit to be whisked away to it’s fate by a swift and heavy hand.

But, getting back to the meat of the matter, of which, is the main assumptive stance adopted by the dual-sock, and, by and large, by people in general; is this presupposition that mind dependent phenomena, and a lack of god, equates into a necessary loss of meaning and purpose, and hence, morality. And the other commenter on the video also apparently agrees; complaining that morality cannot follow from the implications of sensory perception as mind created illusion. So let’s break it down.

One thing you need to understand up front is, just because reality is mind created, doesn’t mean there can’t be morality. Take responsibility. Why do you need to be bribed by some imagined outside entity in order to understand discipline and morality properly? Let me guess. You wanna go to heaven and don’t wanna go to hell, right? How deep of you. And that very well may help you sleep at night. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you’re a player, game to conduct himself according to a paradigm of “avoiding punishment and gaining rewards”, then, for good or bad, you’ve established a code of conduct on all the wrong reasons. “Gaining and avoiding”, are the delusional path, and a way to obfuscate the truth. There’s nothing to gain or lose here. You were zero sum before you came in this game, and you are exiting this game in the exact same way. And don’t take zero to mean absence. An absence is a negative. A presence is a positive. Both different degrees of the exact same stuff: illusion. Zero is superposition. So gaining and avoiding aren’t a legitimate basis to formulate a moral compass on; unless you’re a Mario Brother, running around collecting coins and jumping over turtles.

A lack of a god doesn’t mean there can be no such thing as morality. A lot of atheists incorrectly dismiss moral features due to religious associations, but there’s no need to throw the baby out with the bath water. We can figure out a standard for intelligent beings that can be applicable to all life forms, and we don’t need some make believe judge in the sky to keep us honest. We can set a standard. And it’s not that difficult to sort out.

So, how can we set a standard? To figure this out, you need not look any further then to your own functionality. You know, without question, that within yourself, you have a free will that has the capacity to use force; as in, actions that create effects on outside conditions, and, you have a free will that has the capacity to receive force; as in, seemingly outside effects that apply actions on you, modifying your condition. So this formulates a border we can use as a basic outline. And there’s no such thing as anyone who does not have any boundaries. And even if so, there are still instinctual ones. Only Jesus Christ would be exempt from this. So with boundaries, comes the issue of consent. We’ll refer to this junction as the boundary line of the will. And this really shouldn’t need to be explained to you, because it isn’t an intellectual consideration, even though the terminology of “the boundary line of the will”, is an enigmatic and ambiguous consideration.

Let’s put it this way: Why do the sheep run from the wolves? Why do you get annoyed and move away when someone sits too close to you on the bus? Why do you scream in pain and recoil when you get punched in the eye? Is this a matter of moral relativity? After all, sometimes we enjoy getting our throats cut when we sleep, right? It just depends on your culture. Is that it? No, of course not. You don’t need an education or a cultural background to figure out that you need to remove your hand from a hot stove, do you? So the basis for a moral system is actually pretty simple. There’s no need for you to go on pretending that morality is too hard to flesh out.

Boiled down. Life forms are either receptive or unreceptive to phenomena; and the outcome of one or another isn’t a matter of philosophy; so the proposal of moral relativity stinks of extraneous intellectualism. This is not an ideological proposition. It’s a fact of raw instinctual physiology. And we can build upon this.

You already know that, when force is used against a will, there is a rejection of it. Just as you also know, when force is used in accord with a will, there is acceptance of it. Hence, moral behavior is the proper use of force. Immoral behavior is the mis-use of force. That’s it. Need more be said on the matter? If you are able to recognize this natural configuration within your so called “own existence”, then it shouldn’t be too hard to recognize that it also resides in ALL life forms; not just for your own personal ego.

And this isn’t about any “Golden Rule”, as, many of you hate yourselves, and are completely self destructive, so, “doing unto others as you would have others do unto you”, is not necessarily the best formula for the job. But even a self destructive degenerate ego still has a boundary line of the will. Positive and negative responses to stimuli don’t cease happening just because an ego has become devoted to evil. The evil one’s hand still recoils from the hot stove, does it not? So it’s still possible to violate evil’s consent. Yes, that’s right. Dracula doesn’t want you to stick that stake in his heart and will try to prevent it. Is that a shocker? Maybe Dracula had to go to college to understand that he doesn’t want a stake in his heart? So, this is why, if evil is going to pretend morality doesn’t matter as a mere justification for overly indulgent disgusting behaviors, then that ego will be punished swiftly. And rightfully so.

Why?

Because delusional behaviors are contrary to the training. And again. We are students, here to undergo spiritual training, in order to free the mind from mental slavery. Behaviors that are conducive towards enlightenment are worthy of encouragement. Behaviors that are conducive towards delusion are worthy of condemnation. For a sage not to uphold these standards would be a dereliction of duty.

Can you understand this? The right and wrong of behaviors will be determined on a foundation of lucidity as the highest ideal. That is, just as was previously said, behaviors motivated towards delusion are bad, and should be condemned accordingly. Behaviors motivated towards the truth of lucid awareness are good, and should be commended appropriately. Similarly, anything that malevolently tries to interfere with your enlightenment should be considered bad, and constitutes a mis-use of force. Just as, if you were to try to malevolently interfere with another’s enlightenment, it should be considered bad, and would constitute a mis-use of force; even if you personally benefited from it, or derived selfish pleasure from it. And yes, that needs be clarified due to the soul dead psychopaths out there. So there’s no way around it: any mis-use of force against a will is considered a delusional enterprise, hence is contrary to lucid awareness, and therefor is a violation of right conduct. There’s the basis for a rightly based morality.

Hence, this same moral template can be applied to the act of pollution; the argument I made that the dual-sock has criticized as attachment. But the criticism doesn’t wash. Being destructive to one’s environment definitely qualifies as immoral conduct. It demonstrates a total lack of mindfulness; a crucial element of a lucid mind; which is the the basis of the spiritual training. So does that answer your question? You told the commenter to go ahead and ask me what we are training for, but it’s really YOU who is doing the asking. And, unfortunately, you don’t like the answer.

And, that’s right. Training. SPIRITUAL training! And that’s right again. Training, for NOTHING. What’s the problem with training for nothing anyway? Oh, because an addicted heroin addict can’t fathom the idea of giving up his heroin. What a surprise! I guess the little baby is gonna need to adjust to functioning without a pacifier! Because that’s all that is awaiting you, “out there.” Nothing. And when I say nothing, I don’t mean an absence of objects. Hence, an absence of objects isn’t the focus of the training. The focus of the training is, and always has been, pure potential. So when I say, “nothing”, I mean that literally. Nothingness itself. The pure static field that isn’t even a pure static field. And there’s nothing wrong with training for nothingness. This is the essence of Pure Potentialism. And to master it, one must really be devoted to it, despite receiving no gratification or validation from it in return. That’s how it’s determined whether or not you are full of shit. This is how it’s seen whether you are a spiritual warrior who wants nothing for himself but freedom and the truth, or a little lying pansy, who looks to receive rewards and hide in his delusion. We pay respect to pure potentiality, even though we can’t affix a label unto it, familiarize it, or compare it to something similar. We are not here looking for a nipple to suckle, like the dual-sock. We are here to be spiritual warriors, sworn to serve the common good, and to sacrifice as much as we can. All for the truth of lucid awareness.

Now, on to the dual-sock’s second comment, which I will now read, then obliterate quickly; as this video has already gone on too long. Again, it follows a comment exchange between a subscriber and the Meta Sage, and at the end of that exchange, the dual-sock chimes in, stating, quote:

dualsock: “You allowed the talking tiger to mind rape you. Notice how anything you bring up, he redefines for you? See how he redirects your attention to him? You speak of a creating force, he tells you there is nothing beyond awareness. This has subtle, psychological implications, that implies he is awareness, and you are not. That there is nothing beyond awareness (him), that he is the pinnacle. That your answers are found in him and need no searching beyond his word. These are mind tricks, to make you subservient to his will. You ask the wrong questions. Ask him what awareness is aware of. Ask him how awareness can be without the contrasting and complimentary distinction of the unaware. Ask him, how can he be sure he’s awareness if theres no way for him to be aware of what he’s unaware of.”

So that’s the second comment. And here’s a measured response:

Everything that comes out of the dual-sock’s mouth is deceptive bullshit. All he can produce is falsehood. So, to clarify: I don’t redefine. I guide towards the open ended. This isn’t a shell game. This isn’t about rejecting one inventory item in favor of another one. It’s about embracing the truth; and the truth isn’t found by selecting the right inventory item. They are all equally false. So how is it exactly that I’m redirecting anyone’s attention to me? This has nothing to do with me. But this is the nature of the dual-sock. Lies. Misrepresentations. Mischaracterizations.

Yes, the commenter spoke of a creating force, and I rightly brought him back down to reality. Awareness is the sure thing, which can be verified and is the ultimate foundation of everything. Not because I say so, but because that’s how it is. A creating force is an abstraction. Again, this is more cowardly evasions. Another example of feeble subservience, looking for some outside entity to hold all the power and responsibility, because you’re too weak and lazy to assume it yourself.

I point towards awareness. So how is this in any way an implication that “I am awareness and others are not”? Or that I am the pinnacle, and only want others to take my word with no verification for themselves? How is this so; other then just the dual-sock saying so? Because that’s all it is. Distortions and deceptions. I have always repeatedly advocated for just the opposite. Don’t take my word. Don’t stop your investigation. Find out for yourself. I don’t want your subservience. I’m telling you, I have no use for needy dependent followers who need somebody to lean on. If that’s what you are, then GET OUT OF HERE! I’m looking for those who want to stand on their own two feet; and don’t need my support. I have no time to support you.

And here you tell the commenter that he’s asking me the wrong questions, and, again, ask the commenter to ask me certain questions, which means, again, it’s really YOU who’s asking the questions. So I will go ahead and answer your questions. Since you indirectly asked.

Question 1: What is awareness aware of.

Answer: Awareness is aware of an imagination.

Question 2: How awareness can be without the contrasting and complimentary distinction of the unaware.

Answer: Awareness can’t “be”; as, awareness is not an existential factor. It’s only aware of existential factors. Therefor, it doesn’t have an opposite. It doesn’t play by the rules of duality. It imagines the rules of duality.

Question 3: How can I be sure I’m aware if there’s no way for me to be aware of what I’m unaware of.

Answer: “You” are not aware. This “you” is not your identity. More aptly stated: There is an awareness of a persona who thinks he has an individual awareness that he can’t be sure of, due to the fact that he can’t be aware of what he’s unaware of. See, your problem is misidentification. That’s why you can’t unglue from your dream stupor.

So that’s that. I now wash my hands of the dual-sock, and banish him to the netherworlds, once again. But this time, there’s no coming back. You are unrepentant, and hence, are unforgiven. And are therefor removed. Begone from this place.

You’re Not Worth Your Weight in Waste

(Clip of biodegradable plastic bag.)

It’s about fucking time. It’s only 50 years late. Not too bad, huh? Look, this is not that complicated. There’s just simply too many of you for there not to be any mindfulness about the waste that’s incessantly being produced. Have you ever wondered about the inevitable sum of such waste? Shit, what about just the waste from China alone. Can you even fathom that daily sum of waste? You know,... it adds up. Think about that. And think about, what would be the overall grand sum of waste from 10 billion strong? Well. The answer isn’t very good news; nor has it been very good news, for quite some time. And in the spirit of man’s predisposition to only address symptoms and always ignore causes, I know what you’re thinking:

“Is there any way to spin the failure in this story to make mankind look intelligent and rewardable?”

Unfortunately, not in any good sense.

But what about:

“Mankind has become adept and extremely proficient in producing massive amounts of pollution and waste!”

Wow, isn’t that admirable?

I’m not sure why, but mankind seems to assume for a given that it’s completely acceptable that he is a creature that is inherently authorized to consume, and then leave waste, with no limits or standards as to the conduct of these actions. Well, news flash. It isn’t acceptable. Don’t assume any inherent rights. And it’s time for you to be held accountable.

Yeah, it’s that time again. You know that, every once in a while, I have to roll up my sleeves and kick your ass. But don’t feel bad about it. It’s when I STOP kicking your ass when you should start to worry. That means I’ve stopped caring. And that can’t be good. So yeah. You know I go through different phases with the motivations of the videos. Sometimes they’re educational. Sometimes they focus on unlearning. And sometimes they are just simple acts of heavy handed corrective discipline, which IS required; as, the short sighted self concerned immaturity of the mediocre masses has reached shockingly epic proportions.

So listen up, millennial man. I’m sorry, but the stupidity of your predecessors has fucked you into a corner. So know upfront: You’ve been born with a load; and there’s no “love salvation mode”. “Born”, by both definitions of the word “born”, with two different spellings. You’ve been “born”, with a load, (b-o-r-n), as in, assuming a heavy burden since the moment of birth; and “borne”, with a load, (b-o-r-n-e), as in, forcibly shouldered with a heavy burden. And while you strain and sweat under that heavy load, you can take solace in the fact that the massive weight that is now threatening to crush you under it’s sheer mass, is a result from circumstances that pre-existed you. So it’s a storm cloud with a silver lining! You bear absolutely no BLAME, for the heavy mass that now sits upon your shoulders. You only bear the WEIGHT, of the heavy mass that now sits upon your shoulders! Isn’t that encouraging?

Yeah, people didn’t think too deeply into things in the days of ole. Inventors invented things, and, sometimes, they invented really evil fucked up things completely by accident.

But hey, if an abomination can serve a function, even if profoundly evil in composition, we can still enjoy the byproduct utility and just simply ignore any negative side effects! Right?

“Sounds like a plan!”

And this irresponsible dereliction wasn’t just contained to the production of degradable waste. That might have been much more easier to deal with, and we can’t have that. We need to make our own lives 100 times more difficult, otherwise we can’t learn basic binary lessons. Right? Hence, the reality of non-biodegradable waste production raised it’s ugly head. And remember:

“A little ain’t enough.”

So, your myopic predecessors just kept on making more and more and more non-biodegradable materials, then, when confronted with the prospect of taking responsibility for finding a function for the waste, they figured, fuck it, and just started dumping it all into the ground or the sea, like shortsighted imbeciles. And now it’s your problem. And the larger question is, not so much about how to clean up all the waste, but what to do about the idiots who can’t muster up the required capacity for efficiency.

And yeah, they came up with recycling; but 90% of the recycling material doesn’t get recycled, because you morons are too lazy to do it. And what DOES get recycled, doesn’t nearly go deep enough; as, there are so many plastics that don’t make the cut, and are therefor confined to a one use disposable pollutant. I say, if it isn’t biodegradable, and you can’t recycle it, you are banned from manufacturing it. Plastic utensils, plastic straws, plastic bags... production of all that shit needs to stop right now. Since you morons can’t figure out how to produce utensils, straws and bags that can be recycled, nor know how to clean and re-use such items, you’ll just have to transport along traditional wares and be inconvenienced with having to take care of the items; rather then stuff you can just throw away. Awwwww. Poor you.

Do you know they have been finding pounds and pounds of plastic bags inside the stomachs of dead whales? That’s truly despicable. And you should be completely shamed. Stripped naked by an angry mob; relentlessly whipping you with sharp sticks and spitting on you constantly.

And yes, I have the right to assume a righteous stance and condemn you for world pollution. I’m pissed about it, and you’re not. I demand that something needs to be done about it, while you, do not. That’s why I’m exempt from guilt and blame; and hence, casting guilt and blame upon YOU, now becomes my only focus. And it also affords me the position to know what’s BEST, and to make the important decision about what ultimately needs to be prescribed.

The production of all disposable non-biodegradable material must halt immediately. Namely, plastic and styrofoam; and any other such material of similar composition. This practice must cease instantly. Under pain of your personal death, or devastation. Don’t make any more of it. And don’t throw any of it away. It will have to be maintained continually, and managed correctly. All existing non-biodegradable material must be either saved for continued re-use, or recycled for new re-use. No more dumping all this shit into the earth or sea.

In fact, all that shit is gonna have to come out of there. All that waste in all those landfills, dumps and strewn on the floor of the oceans, is gonna need to go ahead and get collected and transported to a major center, where it will ALL have to be sorted through, and appropriated properly. This is something in your future. You WILL be personally embroiled in this. And not one bit of waste will be unaccounted for. Every last speck of waste will need to be painstakingly organized and processed with a fine tooth comb.

Why? Because I declare it. I speak it into existence; and henceforth, it becomes law and creed.

You want an existential cause? Reduce waste, motherfucker. Reduce waste.

Yeah, I’m pissed. You don’t shit where you eat. You don’t disrespect the zen garden. Good students don’t pollute or vandalize their training grounds. Good students don’t light their dojos on fire; nor assume the luxury of retreat into a cocoon to indulge the senses in desire while pumping out massive amounts of waste. No... That’s gonna get straightened out real fast. That’s why it’s not gonna be all that very surprising when the spoiled piglets start to squeal in desperation, after they get yanked from the teats of their warm fuzzy delusions. And don’t expect to be caressed and gently eased out of your cozy deep slumber. You’re waking up to an ice cold shower, motherfucker.

From this day forward, you are to be very self conscious of your waste production. You’re gonna need to keep that shit down to an absolute bare minimum. It’s bad enough you piss and take shits. That’s barely tolerated. But once you start making tons and tons of waste, and then start spreading that waste all over the place, thin tolerance turns quickly into zero tolerance. Then, the question becomes:

Are you worth your weight in waste?

Good question. Let’s say you weigh 180 pounds. If we stacked up 180 pounds of your waste next to you, which is without question much much less waste then you will produce in your whole lifetime, hence, this is already giving you way more then enough leeway then you deserve; will your life be enough of a justification for your own weight in waste? Waste that will now go on to only serve as a contamination of the training grounds? In the majority of cases, I say; unfortunately, I think not.

And that’s right. You are gonna be held accountable; and must justify your volume of waste. It needs to be answered for. And adjustments need to be made by the companies that are manufacturing it. So, plastic making businesses are claiming that there aren’t many options to plastic, and that the current non-plastic alternatives available are not cost effective, nor profitable? Well, that’s too bad. Looks like you’re going out of business, motherfucker. Step aside and make room for the next generation of industry pioneers who give a damn. Maybe you should concentrate more on cleaning up the mess you made, rather then how you can continue to make a fast buck at the expense of our children’s future. And I’m all for that. These companies should all be billed HARD, for every single piece of their waste found polluting the landscape. Then you’d start to see things clean up real fast. You CAN hold corporations accountable, you know. Who would have thought, right? All you have to do, is pull their dick out of your ass, get off your hands and knees and pull up your pants.

Fuck them. They had a good long run, and now it’s time to pay the piper. Polluting the planet is an act of war. So should they really be surprised by the team of armed men dressed in black with ski masks that are now climbing through their bedroom balcony window? I can’t see how. You’ve declared war on mankind. Armed assassins sneaking in your house at night while you sleep are the least of your worries! That’s why, those that are not extremely mindful of their waste output, are better off being molecularly erased. And don’t worry; that can be done with impunity. I bet you didn’t know that, did you? It can’t technically be considered murder if you molecularly erase them. They’ll have to pass new laws to try to stop that.

Bottom line. Creatures that create massive amounts of waste, and then solve this problem by throwing a bunch of dirt over it, are not very bright creatures at all. Shit. Did you know that waste is an untouched virgin resource? Imagine the millions that could be made by the guy who finally figures out how to efficiently transform waste into cash! It’s a billion dollar industry, with no takers. No one is smart enough to do it. No one has enough innovation or creativity to problem solve this, make a fortune, and transform the world into a better place. (Yeah, “the world.” Humor me on this for the moment.) It’s too bad no one can figure this out and then drown under a tidal wave of cash. I guess no one wants that money. No one wants to lay claim to those billions. Oh well. That’s too bad.

You know what we might do instead? Start shooting the garbage out into space. That’s a fucking fantastic idea!

“Shoot the waste, deep into space.”

It’s a great idea on so many levels. Mainly because it solves the problem. But also, because it will breathe life into the outer space industry, turning our interaction with space into a daily affair. And it’s not like we can “pollute space”, right? Space is empty! It’s MEANT to contain junk in it! So why not shoot waste into it? It would be completely harmless. And even if it causes a couple of bad things to happen, so what. It’s no big deal. Think of how big the universe is! Our waste is inconsequential by comparison. Even if we somehow managed to dump 100,000 years of waste into space, all at one time, it would be but a mere drop of water in an Olympic swimming pool. No big deal at all.

But there’s yet another aspect of it to get excited about; especially for the U.F.O. buffs who can’t wait for first contact! Just think of how much more faster ETs will show up here, when they find out that we have started dumping our trash into space! You want a close encounter of the 5th kind? Never mind SETI, (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), and beaming radio waves into space 24 hours a day, monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets, awaiting a reply for 40 plus years. All we gotta do, is start dumping our garbage into space, 24 hours a day. I can’t think of a faster way to entice an alien to show up here, wanting a conversation, can you? The benefits outweigh any risk. Dive in head first!

So, in closing, you’ve been put on notice. You need to start being a lot more hyper vigilant about the waste you create, because, when you boil it, what’s the better option; to deal with you, and endure your constant avalanche of relentless waste? Or, to just simply eliminate YOU instead?

It’s a no brainer.
