Text of the page (random words):
l the while attempting to protect and nurture life and comfort virtue signaling will be expressed as caring about the planet but few will actually act on that virtue in the end we will grow tired and end it for them if they wont end it themselves roll it up and put it away one became all then all will become one or none everything that appears to have happened will never even be a thought like an unremembered dream key pieces in the game will possess buttons that can end the game at any time it is of dire consequence to press the button and as equally as disastrous if they don t the most important ritual of all will be the aha moment where certain members occasionally entire generations will think they have solved the quandary of existence only to find that such awakening will stunt societies even further feeling right will trump survival and the most virtuous will cause the most pain and suffering on behalf of its own population many will profess to find a way out a way to cheat anxiety and own an eventual state of bliss this total bliss will give way to the monotony of boredom the game must go on mustn t it it will go on but you won t unless you redefine what you are providing you think you already know what that is author jimoeba posted on 03 04 2023 categories atheism tags atheism bliss confusion creation death existence nihilism religion thecommonatheist 24 comments on rule of engagement everything is pre approved life after death the ultimate oxymoron is life after death that would contradict the meaning of both when i die there will be no experience no regrets or joyous reunions for there will be no apparatus to manage or attend such consciousness or effort even if spirit carried on in some idea or another it is a mindless blank stare at a static white board without sensory perception for eternity as unaware as the universe is of itself biology fills the void for a time life is a symptom of our universe but it is not intentional nor has any ideas at all about how it happens funny just like you and me biology is a byproduct of the universe a symptom the cycles are endless the earth is like a slow motion chia pet humans have been on this cosmic stage about 20 minutes imagine a time lapse from beginning to end it would be no mystery taking a hindu version at face value if i am here to grow to perfection through repetition over and over and to resolve the unsolved desires and issues of karma why would i have ever been born in the first place having had no karma to be born with i have possibly however inherited such a thing from evolution that monkeys rang up my karmic credit after they received it from their progenotes and so on and so on all the way back to the spawn of life if it ever died out nothing would ever know it ever was a thing at all that which truly exists must exist all the time but the body does not exist all the time therefore it cannot be real the ultimate oxymoron is life after death that would contradict the meaning of both author jimoeba posted on 03 11 2022 categories atheism tags atheism consciousness death evolution hinduism karma life reality thecommonatheist 100 comments on life after death a note on death how consciousness continues after death for several years i did body removals some were quite humorous while others not so much a lot can happen in a week or two especially in the summer months having no emotional ties to a body made it a 50 job it never once seemed like a spirit or someone was missing from the body only with an emotional connection might a loved one or friend hope it that way lots and lots of dead people where it actually appears that consciousness did not leave the body but the body left consciousness it simply disconnected from the grid by the way the worst smell on earth is the breath of death the decomposing gasses trapped in the lungs that expel when you first move a dead one this is my first hand observations of a single consciousness only if you were taught to believe otherwise would it appear any different than that consciousness remains in spite of life or death it is what is author jimoeba posted on 11 11 2021 11 11 2021 categories atheism tags atheism autopsy birth body removal consciousness death thecommonatheist 91 comments on a note on death reincarnation fact wishful or something else there is a grey area between life and death a conscious brain and conscious ness some children are remembering past lives of themselves or others with the two most compelling accounts in recent memory being anne frank barbro karlén and pilot james m huston jr at 3 years old james claimed to have been shot down in wwii and told his parents his real name the ship the mates and so on this persisted so they investigated and found his story contained many obscure facts and corroborations with the deceased man s living relatives including old shipmates from the uss natoma in the battle of the pacific it s interesting to examine western vs eastern thought on the subject where westerners turn to reincarnation as a comforting idea but difficult to believe while the easterner has no trouble believing it but wants to get out of its endless cycles of futility funny really so from where do these past memories arise in these kids the stories are many and now with the internet many of the details can be verified using an objective approach there is a grey area between life and death a conscious brain and conscious ness where do these memories come from what else could it be is everything a cold hard fact or is there more to it that makes hebrew religions and hard atheism alike uncomfortable it happens in every culture and even those religions that don t believe it are being forced to consider it like in the story of marty martyn these two accounts are also covered in depth on netflix surviving death episode 6 author jimoeba posted on 02 27 2021 02 27 2021 categories atheism tags atheism buddhism christianity

and went out to water the garden it was dead quiet though i did see a mama deer and her twins eating my russet tops as they hopped away the silence remained in the most surreal artistry must be the soft thick grass i thought i sat quietly in sanctification my stone table cool and covered in dew the garden growing all the sounds of summer sleeping i close my eyes and drown my thoughts in the silence then the silence drowns my thoughts purely this was the most joyful quiet i could recall since my boreal beginnings after a time it felt i lumbered my way to the house made a cup of coffee and slipped out again to wait for the first rays of light to shine through the treetops something is a little different i begin to wonder at this timeless moment enduring a little longer longer than i expected skillfully i go back inside quiet careful not to wake the misses and and the mutt the one clock is blinking the other is not it is still 5 30 i look out the window and the water is still

anhedonia entering the final stretch of a meaningless search no considerate god would destroy the human mind by making it so rigid and unadaptable as to depend upon one book a bible or a quran for all the answers for the use of words and thus of a book is to point beyond themselves to a world of life and experience that is not mere words or even ideas just as money is not real consumable wealth books are not life to idolize scriptures is like eating paper currency alan watts today or tomorrow sickness and death will come they had come already to those i love or to me nothing will remain but stench and worms sooner or later my affairs whatever they may be will be forgotten and i shall not exist then why go on making any effort how can man fail to see this and how go on living that is what is surprising one can only live while one is intoxicated with life as soon as one is sober it is impossible not to see that it is all a mere fraud and a stupid fraud that is precisely what it is there is nothing either amusing or witty about it it is simply cruel and stupid had i simply understood earlier that life had no meaning i could have borne it quietly knowing that that was my lot but i could not satisfy myself with that had i been like a man living in a wood from which he knows there is no exit i could have lived but i was like one lost in a wood who horrified at having lost his way rushes about wishing to find the road he knows that each step he takes confuses him more and more but still he cannot help rushing about it was indeed terrible and to rid myself of the terror i wished to kill myself leo tolstoy the cruelest of games is being taught to pretend were not pretending unknown our normal sensation of self is a hoax or at best a temporary role that we are playing or have been conned into playing with our own tacit consent just as every hypnotized person is basically willing to be hypnotized the most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate independent and isolated ego yet the whole of experience is one process for humanity to continue chasing in circles generation by twisted generation to find meaning yet in the end all dead and buried with a divisive belief that he was more and failed to love and to live in fear and denial of nature anhedonia without pleasure

christianity death islam religion sickness 41 comments on cruel games anhedonia what it s like to die what it s like to die is the same as surviving our flight finally neared the runway as 80 mph side winds battered the plane just before decent the drink cart came off the floor and nearly hit the ceiling suddenly the wings break upward blocking my view of the horizon then quickly downward to view the ocean the plane was nervously quiet on the inside as it was battered outside a white knuckle approach to san francisco landing speed 158 mph some i could see praying silently mouthing whispering to their god certain some deals were being made that day i was sitting window seat over the left wing as we lowered within crashing range watching the wing flexing up and down just missing the runway suddenly in a flash i pictured the plane cartwheeling down the runway in a fiery crash but at that moment the pilot performed his magic and touched the plane down like a foot stomp sighs of relief exhaled from front to back then a post adrenal crash into applause and chatter and in an instant we all realize we made it alive now back to business and the boredom as usual is this how we feel when we die returning to the mundane existence of eternal life what a rush it must be to break back through to the other side for at that moment the game would get us every time we know what it s like to die the same as it is to survive all the anxieties of not knowing released in an instant yet here we shackle ourselves to another day living to escape death while in our normal existence we would line up for the chance to risk it just a flash of time outside our normal state of being is life author jimoeba posted on 12 14 2019 12 14 2019 categories atheism tags atheism atheist death existence life reality thecommonatheist 57 comments on what it s like to die all the world is a stage we can imagine everything but truth for the truth is too obvious to be it and too simple to accept with the curtain drawn we have now built a story to validate humanity as something less spectacular than the sum of its parts which is ridiculous considering occasionally one gets a peek behind the curtain when that takes place a couple of things can happen if you are not prepared they may walk off the set self destruct or go off the chain this is why no master will ever teach you without a discipline to go along with it another thing that often happens is a rise of self importance i am god the jehovah effect i and the father are one now you must listen to what i say and do what i tell you to do what i know is the way the truth and you have to go through me to get back to where you have no choice but to be history is scattered with these types jesus at least spoke in parables to not give away the game it is essential to the longevity of it all that mankind doesn t cut the act short by knowing the secret while we re here that there is no secret this is the usefulness of religion never answering the question and unable to constantly searching beyond the simplicity of it all part of the problem is christianity s beginnings where christ sought out his disciples disciples who were not seeking enlightenment nor prepared for the experience jesus couldn t wait to share his newfound knowledge they never did understand him while he was alive then took it upon themselves to be zealots when he was dead if you want to wake up then do so find it see it but be prepared all there is left to do from then on is watch and smile at the game knowledge is simply the absence of delusion the you who is not the one you see in the mirror but the you that defines who you really are beyond that personality consciousness is not the ego you ve been told perceiving the essence of yourself in our natural existence is similar to scale of a fish achieving awareness of itself that could never comprehend the head of the fish so it is with the universe we are merely a function the eyes and ears and perceptions a nerve ending on the whole living organism our nature whether here or there has not changed but the slightest we seek to be entertained to be engaged in emotions to laugh to cry to feel fear or to feel exhilarated by the fantasy to seek out endless ways to relieve the boredom and stay busy even after an idle day or two we are merely participants in a play breaking away from the doldrums of everyday immortality to see the show or be in the show while others act out the mystery and sometimes misery for a role in the drama either way life here means nothing but a respite from the mundane existence of infinite living simply not knowing the outcome is the most masterful simple game in the universe and like a fish jumping out of the water for a moment getting a brilliant glimpse backstage that there is no more to life than the existence we are living monotheism is especially proud of its level of tail chasing distractions a necessary player to reduce enlightenment and retain players in the game author jimoeba posted on 12 11 2019 05 04 2020 categories atheism tags actors athei...
