The Agreed To Construct



Seems to be in my best perception

Loosely linked to the idea of a Matrix

Without the malevolent overtones

Perpetrated by a desire to control

Nor having qualities of being benign

Simply a reality to be experienced

As of right now, in this very moment

It is the only thing that makes sense

Though it is difficult to break down

It must be a conscious creation of a

Collection of collaborating consciousness

For the sake of experiencing experiences *

Because logic tells us that infinity

Goes on forever in every direction

Also, from every direction, even internally

That is an infinite amount of infinity


“Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins.
Which of the two has the grander view?”

– Victor Hugo



Either way, each perspective goes on forever

Which to my best understanding, look similar

 “All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”

– Bill Hicks



There are no anomalies or glitches

Everything is working as agreed to


“You have nothing in your hands. 
Any power you have, comes to you, 
From far beyond.  Everything is fixed, 
And you can’t change it.”

– JC

“Jesus Christ Super Star”


Of course not, “We” signed “The Agreement”



All of the particles and waves

Behave in exacting fashion and form

As agreed to through observation

Via one or all of the five senses



Powered by what, nobody knows

Except the “logic” that electrons

Are zipping around a nucleus of

Protons, neutrons, neutrinos, and quarks

Held in place by an electrical charge

Yeah, sure, where are the batteries?

Where is the charging port / station?


Take your thumb, for instance

A human thumb contains roughly 1 septillion to a few septillion atoms (\(10^{24}\) to \(10^{25}\) atoms), scaling proportionally from estimates of an entire hand holding about 50 septillion atoms. Most of these atoms belong to water, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen molecules that make up skin, bone, blood, and muscle tissue.

That is a lot of little agreements

Just to pick your nose and scratch your ass

More eloquently, to write a poem or play an instrument **


“Look at your hand. It’s one of the most incredible instruments in the universe. Of all the bones in the body, one fourth are in the hand.
Forget the hand. Look at your thumb; that wondrous mechanism that separates us from the other animals.

The world-famous opposable thumb, that amazing device, that has transported more students to college than the Boston post road. Ideal for sucking, especially as a baby, and lauded in song and story as the perfect instrument for pulling out a plum.

Or, in the case of the Caesars, for holding it down for the gladiator to die, or holding it up, which means “See you later at the orgy.” My friends, for getting up and down the pike, in your pie, in your eye, I give you the thumb.

Have you any idea, Farmer Brown, of the incredible complexity of this piece of human apparatus? Of course not. Never having spent any time at Sol and Sol’s swilling borscht and jamming Latin into your brain while trying to imagine if Lefty the waitress is wearing a garter belt, you have no idea of the balletic interplay of parts that make up the human thumb.

The flexor ossis metacarpi pollicis flexes the metacarpal bone, that is, draws it inward over the palm, thus producing the movement of opposition. And the Boy Scout salute. Because of this magical engineering, we could do this. And this. And this.

But our greatest triumph comes not from flexing the metacarpal bone and making a fist,which always seems to be thirsting to be clenched…No, no, no, no, no. Our greatest moment is when we open our hand:

Cradling a glass of wine, cupping a loved one’s chin. And the best… the most expert of all… keeping all the objects of our life in the air at the same time. [begins to juggle] My friends, for your amusement and bemusement, I give you the human person. Thumb and fingers flexing madly, straining to keep aloft the leaden realities of life: ignorance, death, and madness. Thus, we create for ourselves the illusion that we have power, that we are in control, that we are… loved”

– Hawkeye Pierce

[III. Discovery]

‘…Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful…’

‘…I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds and soon my own music!

How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can’t wait to tell the priests about it!…’

//

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It’s got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall ….. gently ……. like rain

Science ought to be

Self reflective enough by now

To stop explaining stuff

By an evidence-less theory

That everything came

From nothing

It is infinitely illogical



The same goes for that God fellow

Given credit for reshaping

What was already already here


“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

Genesis 1 2


Doesn’t that make us / myself

Always, all ways a part of that

“Spirit of God”?????????


Yes ?, no?

May be yes, may be no?



I’m just asking for 8 billion fellow space travelers



Does it matter?

If matter doesn’t matter?

Or only exists if observed?



I have faith that i

(yes, the small i)

Have always existed

In one form or another

The current “I” existing

In the here and now

Is an ego in an autonomous

Anthropomorphic vehicle

With five base senses

To experience experiences and

Make these dopey observations

Also, to utilize available exergy *

Of me being a better me

In such an efficiently lazy way

So I do not have to do this shit again


* Exergy is the measure of the maximum useful work that can be extracted from a system as it reaches equilibrium with its environment.


Satiating the temporary ego just enough

To meld back with the Spirit of God / Word

That one emanated from to experience itself

And based on logic and reason… do it again


“Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself, even within my dreams

There’s got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why, do we exist
I’d like to think that when I die
I’d get a chance another time

And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.”


– Iron Maiden

“Infinite Dreams”



If we are made from the dust of the stars

It would behoove us / myself to

Shine as bright as possible while

Providing light and warmth to our surroundings


“I am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins. “

-Rush

“Presto”



A rant is a rant is a rant

A good rant keeps going


Have you seen the dopey depiction

Of how the “Big Bang” occurred

It always starts from left to right

Never bottom upward or vice-versa

Never right to left or any other angle

Why because it is only a theory

Science’s weakest argument is that

The universe is expanding

Based only on that detailed drawing

Yet it is so vast and never-ending

It is never presented that it is

Contracting in a different direction


Unlike the cosmos, this rant has to end

Will close it out with a Pete Holmes observation


“But it doesn’t matter if you’re an atheist. You’re a theist, I actually think we’re all kinda in the same boat. Really, I do. Some people think God created the universe. Some people think nothing created the universe. Which is the funniest guess? [audience laughing]

The “nothing” people make fun of the “God” people. They say, “God doesn’t exist.” I’m like, “Okay, maybe.” But you know what definitely doesn’t exist? Nothing. [audience/laughing]

That’s the defining characteristic of nothing, is that it doesn’t exist. So what are we talking about? Either you think it’s God, something you can’t see, touch, taste, photograph, and science can’t prove, or you think it’s nothing, something you can’t see, touch, taste, photograph, and science can’t prove.

But I think we can all agree if nothing, if your nothing, sometimes spontaneously erupts into everything, that’s a pretty goddamn magical fucking nothing, you guys. [audience/laughing]

And ask… ask the “nothing” people, “What happens when you die?” They’ll tell you, “Nothing. You go into nothing.” I’m like, “You mean you merge back with your creator?” [audience/laughing]

“That’s heaven, bitch.”
