Too many lecturers on this damn site. Too many knowledgeable people feigning formality because they want their teachings to be doctrine. I don't want to be quoted, I don't want to start a cult around my ideas. I want to show you that the proper path is through your own heart.
This account is a scrapbook of MY journey through spiritual matters. I can sense what is true, but since I sense it, it is only true me. I can't tell anyone their path is wrong. I can only show you my path. The right path for each of us is through our own hearts.
That's actually the ONLY way. Some accounts here feel fine just shilling for Plato or Aquinas or the vague corpus of pagan authors, they are denying themselves their own path. You handcuff yourself to these academic abstractions and lose the creative in your soul.
Really. Honestly. Who cares about what ancient texts inspired your worldview? You should be able to see the world as it is today and have a religion. If your ancient text doesn't correlate to the world today, that makes it false, antiquated. Words written by men are time-bound.
What should you be doing? Watching the world move every day of your life and navigating it mystically. Forming a personal religion based on events that you witness. This is oral tradition. This is mythopoesis. YOUR way is YOUR way, laid out for you by God and made just for you.
YOUR way is YOUR way. Hearing about anyone else's spiritual journey is a hindrance to your own. Do you see this? Your life is your life, don't let Plato live it. You are Plato, if you try to be. You are Jesus, if you can be. Plato won't make your life not suck.
Just have friends. Just be a guy. Have a fun life and do something worthwhile. You make it too hard. Don't have a stick in the ass. I am Me, elaborating on my hobby and what I find fascinating. I just live my life and learn what means what. I have nothing to teach you.
