I didnt expect much yet I was disappointed yet again. I wish I could stop expecting anything from people yet I cant. I'm the ultimate fool.

I actually grew up catholic, went to sunday school, did my communion. I knew since i was a kid the whole thing was bunk. There was never any exotic appeal to it for me, i knew the whole church had ended at vatican 2, that it was filled with mafia and chomos, that the current pope was half a commie.

I dont see how "trad caths" can even function with how far gone everything is.

I had an atheist phase when i was younger too, grew out of it, got into the occult, had a mental break down, now im back to not knowing what to believe. somedays im an atheist, other days i take astrology as real

if you don't like it as a prompt, idk, choose a tarot card and do one of those

Broke: The Hero's Journey
Woke: The Fool's Journey

No poetry thread? well consider this it now.
but also: fun writing exercise - how about we all try coming up with a poem centred around one of the tarot cards each.

Have fun!

[Intro]
(Whatever)

[Chorus]
Came back again from extraordinary lengths
Just to justify the ends
No more pressure to pretend
To be less than what I am
And the story starts again
And the truth comes back in trend
I'm notholier-than-thou(I'mreally not)
But we'retrendier than them(Haha)

[Verse 1]
Kill a part of you that's not true to the heart of you
Pull a joker card on you, I didn't mean to startle you
I pulled off, it was not enough, I left a scar on you
I guess that game wasn't hard enough, sorry to bother you
This drain life, it will harden you, might make a martyr out of you (Haha)
I might walk a lonely road, but I walk the road I choose
The fame and the glory is what came from the pleasures and the pain
(Memories will never fade and the traumas will remain)

[Bridge]
I want innocence, Snow White
Want innocence
I want innocence, Snow White
The way she shines her light
You'll always be by my side
And I'll walk forward with pride
And as legends never die
Live forever through the times
Gold cross means you crossed my mind
Blind in faith and love I'm blind (I'm blind)
[Verse 2]
I'm three steps ahead of you, to put you on a pedestal
I never knew a thing but I knew when I was ready to, to learn
How to walk the golden curve and to be where we deserve
To be far away from hurt, place the nine above the world

[Chorus]
Came back again from extraordinary lengths
Just to justify the ends
No more pressure to pretend
To be less than what I am
And the story starts again
And the truth comes back in trend
I'm not holier-than-thou
But we're trendier than them
But we're trendier than them

[Outro]
Nine

Welcome, O life!
I go to encounter for the millionth time
the reality of experience
and to forge in the smithy of my soul
the uncreated conscience of my race…
Old father, old artificer,
stand me now and ever
in good stead.

‘You are the nee-geur’ was written on the wall
The fool cared not, he could not read nor write
And so he walked not hooked unto a strife.
Ah, yes. Check dubs and
also sneed.

I did everything the exact opposite. I moved out early, got a job, worked my ass off for 13 years, partied with friends and went on many adventures in the prime of my life then gave up on everything in my thirties and now live with my mom.

>"There's supposed to be a last photograph of him on the only record album ever put out by The Fool - an English rock group - seven musicians posed, in the arrogant style of the early Stones, near an old rocket-bomb site, out in the East End, or South of the River. It is spring, and French thyme blossoms in amazing white lacework across the cape of green that now hides and softens the true shape of the old rubble. There is no way to tell which of the faces is Slothrop's: the only printed credit that might apply to him is 'Harmonica, kazoo - a friend.' But knowing his Tarot, we would expect to look among the Humility, among the grey and preterite souls, to look for him adrift in the hostile light of the sky, the darkness of the sea..."

Joker (2019).
The poster for the film is identical to this card (see pic related).
The main plot is about a phoenix-like transformation of Arthur to Joker. The Phoenix is a bird that kills its parents, dies and it's reborn from its own ashes. Arthur does the same thing. Phoenix is also the actor's name, Joaquin Phoenix.
The elites like to represent the New World Order as a Phoenix, like on that Economist cover. The constant pushing of trannies in the media supports this notion of "killing the old self".
The film Joker is preparing us for the NWO. It'll begin this year. Already we have staged preludes like the Iran thing and Corona virus.

Fool's Journey > Hero's Journey

what books do I read before I inevitably jump off a bridge?

Only the best

Is the BwO the same as the Fool (0)?

I think Deleuze lends itself very well to a new sort of esoteric system, one purely based in the real. Rituals and magic are traditionally considered supernatural, but could it be just be translated-brought into the realm of virtual?

Anyway, Deleuze and esoterics thread.

I am at a point where I am genuinely bored of philosophy.

Not as a dilettante who got frustrated with "big ideas he couldn't digest", but as a guy stuck in modernia where all these axioms and insights rarely ever apply.

There have been certain incredibly necessary and helpful corrections to my basic metaphysical assumptions about life, but once my operated system was upgraded the rest have just been not-very-necessary minor updates.

A time for action, and not thought, eventually occurs it seems.

"The goal of life is contemplation." Cool, Aristotle. And what is your body going to do with all that wonderful contemplation, in the end?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Sick, Plato. Now that we've examined and deconstructed our meaningless existences to hell and back, where shall we apply our physical and mental energies?

May I offer up my own immortal aphorism to the cosmos:

"Everything aspires towards the inevitable good. The only real path is become completely tired of each and every inaccurate permutation."

like Blake's "The fool who persists in his folly shall eventually become wise"

Hey friends. I was curious if any of you religious people have heard of citing a bible verse such like this:
Matthew xii,24
Genesis ii,19
Job i,3

Just curious because I saw it in a book.

Guys....I have a serious problem.

I'm seeing every human I meet as an archetype--everyone is a saint or slut, prince or knave, sorcerer, craftsman, hero, slave, fool, and elder--and it's proving to be extremely true.

Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
