A Different Take

July 21, 2023



Brought about by a subjective perspective from

“Looking at the world through a windshield”

Unbeknownst to the company I work for that thinks

They are paying me to drive are paying me to think

What better gig one could ask for I do not know

Sitting on my butt with my hands on the steering wheel

Listening to music, books, news, or nothing at all

Save for the wind and where the rubber meets the road

Trying desperately to make sense of this world

With all of its fun fomented foibles and fables

Into a workable framework from practical theory

Sometimes when you see things over and over

In different light, shades, shadows and temperature

Coming towards you or speeding up from behind


“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

George Carlin


One can not help but to experience things differently

If for nothing else at least metaphorically speaking

One of the rabbits I keep chasing down the rabbit hole

Is that it is impossible if not extremely unlikely that

An all powerful omniscient being is only masculine

Therefore have adopted the notion noted in a Bible

“In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1 


That Word is interchangeable with the word God

Devoid of gender therefore no patriarchy or matriarchy

Seeing as how they are one in the same as essentially

Everything emanates from derivatives of Word(s)

Knowing that all W/word(s) occur infinitely all ways

In all languages every translation infinite interpretation

In other words, Word(s) exist beyond “beginnings”

Also brought about in this lifetime by Einstein that

Everything is happening all at once and was quoted

“All I want to do is learn to think like God (Word).
All the rest is just details.”

— Albert Einstein

What better way to experience experiences than to know

Like protons neutrons and electrons make up matter so do

Words and their vague or defined definitions make up realty

Which make up words like food, water, shelter, breathing,

She, he, they, them, individuals, all as sparks of the divine Word

Pooping, peeing, believing, hoping for love, laughter and truth


Here goes,

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that everyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 

– John 3:16

A Different Take

“For Word so loved the world, that Word gave to this world, the word Forgiveness, that everyone who forgives shall ever be forgivable.”

– WORD

Seeing how as life is already eternal, merely changes shape

Has nothing to do with an invisible man in the “clouds”

So detached he “allowed” savior filicide to “prove” his “love”

To something that already has “eternal” life, belief (ve, it) or not


“I don’t even understand the connection with ‘died for your sins’.
He died for your sin, well, how does one affect the other?

‘I hit myself in the foot with a shovel for your mortgage”…

– Doug Stanhope

Also

“Why would you die for someone’s sins? Your sins are the only thing interesting about you, you dreary, bleak motherfuckers.”


– Doug Stanhope


Back to my rant….

Based on words like miracle, karma, reason, purpose and service

Methinks it would behoove us as a species who is

Conscious of having consciousness of consciousness

Better use that in peaceful advancement of our evolution

That we can access so much more from infinity

Than a Santa Claus caricature willing to expend his children

In an intentional malicious drowning or nailed to dead trees



“I just think it is interesting to see how people act on their beliefs you know what I mean. Because your beliefs are just that,  they are just how you were taught and raised. That doesn’t make them real.


– Bill Hicks

“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin

By the way, if one doesn’t think that words make up everything, try holding on to a thought that doesn’t have a word, then try describing that thought without using words.


Will close this with some more words by George Carlin



“I love words. I thank you for hearing (reading) my words.

I want to tell you something about words that I think is important.

They’re my work, they’re my play, they’re my passion.

Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.

Then we assign a word to a thought and we’re stuck with that word for that thought.

So be careful with words. I like to think that the same words that hurt can heal, it is a matter of how you pick them.”


George Carlin’s prelude to his famous 7 word bit.

    Always provocative you are!

    I think all the things that are evil cannot be attributed to God because the whole point of this experiment is that we were given free will. If God intervened at any point, for good or for bad, that would be a violation of our free will. If bad things happen, we have only ourselves to blae. People shake their fists at the holocaust and other horrors and ask how God could let that happen. God didn’t “let” that happen. People “made” that happen. We have to always look at our own behaviours, thoughts, choices if we want to find the cause of bad things. It’s maybe a way that both God and karma go together. We reap what we sow and we are not separate. We are one whole system. I love your quote about slow idiots and fast maniacs. It’s so perfect in showing us how miserable we can be when we think the world only revolves around ourselves. But if we expand that out to knowing that each driver is in relationship to every other driver, we can start expanding to take the road to the mind of God.

    Thanks as always for making me think!

      Thank you. I agree that God / Word neither allows nor makes anything happen. The same goes for karma or holocaust. The only “reason” we “experience” either is because there are W/words/God for both.

      I once heard of a culture that did not experience “pain” because there was no word (in their vocabulary) for pain.

      Oddly enough, how joyous to consider, in an infinite (never beginning or ending) experience, what we get to experience, all emanates from the God/(W)word/ *”energy” *(that cannot be created or destroyed). ** “It just is, and so are we…for a little while.”

      Allowing “ego” to narcissistically identify the “slow idiots and fast maniacs” all the while trying to decipher if existence itself is objective or solipsistic.

      Thanks for reading and responding.

      Sometimes, it is fun to chase the rabbit, other times, to just “be” the rabbit. Knowing that we are….both. Either way, I am always ready for a road trip.

      ** “I think we’re part of a greater wisdom that we won’t ever understand, a higher order. Call it what you want. You know what I call it?

      The big electron… the big electron. Woooohhhh, woooohhhh, woooohhhh. It doesn’t punish, it doesn’t reward, it doesn’t judge at all. It just is and so are we… for a little while”
