I do not ask questions
To seek answers
Or find truths
I ask questions
To ask better questions
In a quest for discovering
Better understandings
Permanent answers
Or divine truths
Are elusive illusions
Change is permanent
Why would I hang my hat
On something that
Does not exist
To bring about everlasting changes
Admittedly, one of my issues with religion
Is the use of the masculine as an APAKALOB
“All Powerful All Knowing All Loving Omniscient Being”
Probably because as I write this, it occurs to me
I am responsible with many responsibilities
Putting the creation and alleged violent ending
To all of humanity and existence itself on my plate
Is just two too many things to add to my responsibilities
As a subtle under lying praise and blame for an
APAKALOB that makes individuals rich and masses poor
While deciding who lives or dies with coin tosses
Amusement or asked for forgiveness after a life
Of intentional and immoral transgressions
So I have decided at least temporarily to
Use a word exchange to alter my perspective
When I see or hear the word God as a man
Such as heavenly father
First, as John Lennon taught us
There is no heaven, so that part is out
And, and, for a child, male or female
To be “born,” both sets of goodies are required
Sorry Mary, that mythological BS
Has been tried before, again, and again
Always in time to start a new religion
To replace a fading one
Cosmic assembler are the words I am going with
While one is here, the cosmos exist
You are the observer to the observable universe
When you are not, there is no universe to observe
Regardless that it may exist with or without you
Or that it doesn’t exist at all because you are not here
Side note:
I’ve never understood why a fe”male” or a wo”man”
Would be so willingly to accept that “he”r existence
Is entirely contingent on having been made by a man
Subjected to all that, it implies of “owe”nership
“Just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago .
By the way, I say this “guy” because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if there is a god, it has to be a man.
No woman could or would ever, fuck things up like this.”
– George Carlin
Assembler, more accurately, describes knowing
What to do with the stuff that is always here
By using infinite intelligence to put materials together
Whether it be an element with specific properties
Coordinating with compatible elements to be
Able to have awareness with consciousness and
Consciousness with or without awareness
Likewise, could change the B in APAKALOB to F
From being, which vaguely describes a person
To F for force that describes energy with a push
Kinetically speaking as APAKALOF as in
“An energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
I know I’ve used this quote exhaustively
However, it sums up a lot, beautifully and succinctly
“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
Therefore, one’s responsibility is to appreciate that notion, be completely filled with awe, and exercise their limited free will. From Bill’s perspective, everything is miraculous layered in miracles.
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
An assembler put my glasses together from materials that are here, from a different assembler who gathered the materials, passed on till they got to me. So that I might write this nonsense to amuse myself. I am in gratitude to the Cosmic Assembler.
We are divided
But we are not
We think like
We are separate
But we are not
We pretend as if
We can own things
People, places, ideas
But we can not
It is all magical
Mystical, and yet
Our constrained brain
Wants to put it
In a frame
Narrowed down
To two categories
Of deep delusion
One that makes use
Of the notion that an
Invisible man, obviously
Unknown to scale
Floating in the ether
Above existing water
Decides to create the
Cosmos and all it includes
In just a measly seven days
Without having an
Arbiter elegantiarum to
Calculate what a day is
Quickly becoming a plurality
Genesis 1:26
“Then God said, “Let us make
mankind in our image, in our likeness. “
Ooopsie
Did God have a mouse in his pocket?
The other end of the scale
Wants to make use of a useless theory
Hedging their bullshit bet
On one miraculous miracle that
All came from nothing / no thing
“Terrence McKenna had a very funny thing that he said about science.
He said, “Science wants you to believe, that it’s all about measurement and reason, if you allow them one miracle.”
That one miracle is the big bang. That all things come from the most preposterous idea ever, that everything came from nothing and one big miracle.”
– Joe Rogan
“The ultimate singularity is the Big Bang, which physicists believe was responsible for the birth of the universe. We are asked by science to believe that the entire universe sprang from nothingness, at a single point, and for no discernible reason.
This notion is the limit case for credulity. In other words, if you can believe this, you can believe anything. It is a notion that is, in fact, utterly absurd, yet terribly important. Those so-called rational assumptions flow from this initial impossible situation.
Western religion has its own singularity in the form of the apocalypse, an event placed not at the beginning of the universe but at its end. This seems a more logical position than that of science.
If singularities exist at all, it seems easier to suppose that they might arise out of an ancient and highly complexified cosmos, such as our own, than out of a featureless and dimensionless mega-void.”
― Terence McKenna, True Hallucinations
Meanwhile, all the actual evidence
Points to “us”, all 8 billion of us alive
From a previous 100 or so dead billion
Hurling through the cosmos on a planet
Spinning at break neck speed without
A consciousness of Gaia consciousness
That in and of itself is the miracle
We ought to be cherishing in while
Being amazed for the sake of being amazed
“Ever wonder why we’re fucked up as a species?”
– Bill Hicks
When our existence itself is predicated
On believing either or both stories of BS
As an underlying way to make it through the day
Instead of acting like every breath is amazing
Every sight is incredible, every sound is awesome
Any form of coherent communication is wild
Inasmuch as speaking or writing a thought
Can make any sense at all to another recipient
Me
I sleep much better at night
Not knowing how I sleep at all
That my functions function without
Any direction from a “conscious” me
Digesting alleged nutrition
With stomach acids that can
Dissolve metal but not me
Filter out toxins that probably not
Ought to have been ingested anyway
All so that I might “wake” up and
Write the nonsense you are reading now
FYI
There is no beginning act and there is no final show
Earth is just a stage in which we enter and exit
To form rehearse perform and perfect our act
While waiting in the wings to go on before
Paying attention to cues as to when to exit
Or if horrified by the part, leave early from the stage
“All the world’s indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage”
“Limelight”
– Rush via Shakespeare
There is no
Matter of fact
Besides
There is a
50/50 chance
Whether or not
The “fact” is a
Wave or if it is
A particle by
The power of
Which observer
Is observing it at
Some interval of
Nonexistent time
Laid out linearly
To experience it as
A means of a
Perceived fact
Comedians and lyricists
Scientists and scriptures
Philosophers and layman
But I do not follow them
Rather, I am guided by their
Wisdom and context
Combined as a unit of
Eclectic marvelment
Divining my own way to
Further my enlightenment
By questions and wonder
Challenging challenges
Does it ring true for me
Utilize my limited free will
To make my best choices
Leading myself always
No where / now here
Once one realizes that
Everything is an experience
It creates an environment
In which to experiment
With an “if then” flow chart
Series of contemplations
Projections of outcomes
Mostly based on previous
Perceived experiences
If not unexplained intuitions
Satiating serotonin levels
To even higher heights
Heightening experiences
In the underlying evolution
Towards total enlightenment
……… or not….. no one knows
No one knows, and yet, we all know
“You gotta have a series of smaller goals,
that you can accomplish, and slowly work your way up.
And this is what I have done. That’s why I’m so happy.
My goal:
Right now, I want to be the all-being,
master of time, space and dimension.
Then, I want to go to Europe – I think.”
– Steve Martin
No matter what you do
Eventually, you will “die”
Or at least cease to live
This current experience
Which one may get to
Or not, experience again
“The heaviest burden:
“What, if some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you:
‘This life, as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh… must return to you—all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees and even this moment and I myself.
The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again—and you with it, speck of dust!’
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him:
‘You are a god, and never have I heard anything more divine!’ If this thought were to gain possession of you, it would change you as you are, or perhaps crush you.
The question in each and every thing, “do you want this once more and innumerable times more?” would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight.
Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
For some reason, on my
Social media algorithm
It feeds me information
That agrees with my spirit
Or challenges solid beliefs
In order to answer questions
Begging for deeper inquiry
First, to catch my attention is
A depiction of the cosmos
Which is a lot to fit in
On a 3 inch square screen
The wording superimposed
Over the image, read as follows
“There are about 7²⁷ atoms in your body
All are billions of years old. At the deepest
level YOU are the universe in human form.”
Along with a subset graph showing
The percentage makeup of the primary elements
Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Honestly, I have no clue
If it is “actually,” “true”
After all, it is just a digitized
Picture with clever wording
Showing stars and planets
Atomic symbols for atoms
Filing an outline of a human
To make the representation
Matching the words, but still
What a beautiful sentiment
While the number 7²⁷ of atoms
Seem extraordinarily high
(What do I know, I drive a truck)
The rest of it makes perfect sense
To establish logical proof
Unfortunately, I had time
To scroll through the comments
I’m not quite sure what I’d find
Only to read, many that agreed
Some spiritual, some funny
While others gave credit to God *,
For creating all of it, without realizing
It is all God, all Word, infinitely forever
No creation is necessary, just atoms
Making everything up by changing shape
Through the release and acquisition
Of protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks,
Neutrinos and other subatomic particles
Which the science ** crowd chimes in
With yes, it all started with the big bang
*
“The God excuse.
The last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, it came from god.
Anything we can’t describe, must have come from God.”

As I mentioned, I am just a person who drives a truck.
The primary thing you are taught to drive is to
GET THE BIG PICTURE with constant reminding to
GET THE BIG PICTURE in order to be a good driver
From the “Smith System”
• Aim high in steering
• Get the big picture
• Keep your eyes moving
• Leave yourself an out
• Make sure they see you
God and the Big Bang are too small in our collective thinking
Leading to contentious useless circuitous debates and violence
If you knew you were your enemy on any level
That the demon you hate and fear is yourself
Wouldn’t you want to resolve that to be
At peace with you and the infinite cosmos
Here is more logical proof
“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
Winks and nods
Is a difficult language
To understand
Let alone communicate
As both orator and listener
Have to be simpatico
In tune with each other
On the same page
Seeing eye to eye
On the same wavelength
Intertwined with the
Language they both know
Balancing out the wink
With the degree of nod
Deciphering innuendoes
While competing with
Interrupting dialog from
Onlookers and overseers
Not paying attention to
The winks and nods that
They are speaking in
In order to ……………
Communicate clearly
Your mission,
should you choose to accept it…
Is to acquire, develop, and strengthen
Critical thinking skills through a
Healthy dose of doubt and skepticism
While also engaging in wonder and awe
That one has infinite innate intelligence
To decipher a delicate balance of both
Evolving the mind to higher consciousness
Rooted not in random shaky speculation
But understanding on the deepest level
For experiencing tranquility with the divine
Nor do I play one on TV
Or stay at a fancy hotel
Which is why I am confounded
About the underlying verbal tic
Of big bang theories that get
Presented from alleged sources
Repeated more oft than not
About the birth of the universe
As if it actually happened at
Some point in nonexistent time
Inherently defying all logic at
Every turn, twist, reason, and guess
Depicting projections of assumptions
On absolutely nothing verified
Anywhere in the observable universe
Of even some remote tangibility, save
Putting pen to graphic paper or
Intricate digitized designs
Usually, for some purpose of being
Always shown from left to right
Never right to left or up from down
Just a dot emanating into a cone
Going in one direction outward
Instead of every which way
Scattered like uncontained explosions
Might typically rapidly expand
Riddle me this Batman
If infinity started from nothing
What was it surrounded by ??
Besides, if one went to the “edge,”
Of the observable universe
There would only be more
Infinite observable universe
And, guess what, no proof
Whatsoever of a “big bang”
“Can you deal with that?”
