The cube unfolding into the cross is not "just" a metaphor.

>For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

Yes, and anyone who disagrees is wrong and/or lying. Consider subjecting someone born to an event that randomly results in either having their limbs cut off or getting a cookie. Absolutely Morally wrong.

Dreamed that I briefly teleported to my mother's yard to telepathically tell a dog (not hers) that it won't be here forever and that it will leave after death, it was very happy, running through and around some metal half-circles stuck in the dirt. Later, outside her house, I noticed one of my former friend's ex-concubine looking at a vine on the fence. She was taking notes or otherwise being instructed by it. I had a microscopic image of the edges of its leaves, thin rods tapering to a point. I held it out and asked her if she had seen it, she said "yes", barely looking at me, trying to play dumb and brush it off. I said that just as the vine tapers to nothing microscopically-materially, so too will it taper to nothing macroscopically-semiotically. She silently walked away. I noticed one of the vine's flowers was torn, looked closer and saw a grasshopper inside of it, eating it.

I love seeing this retarded unformed religious potential, I'm going to take a hammer to it and remake it in my own image. Women will worship me for the next thousand years.

Optimists aren't even optimist, their hopes are confined by the most tragic parameters. True optimism is hoping the world will explode.

>But I answered and said to him, "Lord, we can obey you if you wish, for we have forsaken our fathers and our mothers and our villages, and followed you. Grant us, therefore, not to be tempted by the devil, the evil one."

>The Lord answered and said, "What is your merit if you do the will of the Father and it is not given to you from him as a gift while you are tempted by Satan? But if you are oppressed by Satan, and persecuted, and you do his (i.e., the Father's) will, I say that he will love you, and make you equal with me, and reckon you to have become beloved through his providence by your own choice. So will you not cease loving the flesh and being afraid of sufferings? Or do you not know that you have yet to be abused and to be accused unjustly; and have yet to be shut up in prison, and condemned unlawfully, and crucified <without> reason, and buried as I myself, by the evil one? Do you dare to spare the flesh, you for whom the Spirit is an encircling wall? If you consider how long the world existed <before> you, and how long it will exist after you, you will find that your life is one single day, and your sufferings one single hour. For the good will not enter into the world. Scorn death, therefore, and take thought for life! Remember my cross and my death, and you will live!"

Matthew was almost certainly written in the first century
>When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 8:10-12 NRSV

The Pharisees and the scribes, who's children authored the Talmud hated Christ, hated those who walked with him, and put him on a cross. The bible can't be clearer that the Jews who rejected Christ will be punished, and anyone (jew or gentile) who walks with God will have eternal life. Just read a fucking book for once.

The gnostics are trash. The mind and the body are one entity. Your thoughts are deeply influenced by your gut and your heart, which is why western thought for millennia has emphasized the sanctity of the body, and its resurrection in the hereafter.

>One can only live while one is intoxicated with life; as soon as one is sober it is impossible not to see that it is all a mere fraud and a stupid fraud!

This is unironically good. A testament to the truth of ideas and to the absolutely transformative power of God.

There is no meaningful causality between grossly Phenomenal "Nature" like the Earth, living "Nature" like the the Biosphere, and domestic "Nature" like what people eat. In fact, by Materialist definitions they are at odds with each other, and only correlate because of Ontological coincidence. Prove me wrong. You can't.

>every individual is not only unique but uniquely unique immanently ex deo
>race or sex or class dichotomies are bad because they actually homogenize people too much
>Renounce all unknowing, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the Light and be saved from the servitors of Yaldabaōth and the fire-seas.

Just give me something to read other than Neuromancer and Nick Land...
Anything goes.

Family being good is peak Demiurgic delirium. The evil ascribed to one person against the world is suddenly good if there are two of them. Not even that their alleged intention somehow becomes good, but their explicit enmity to their fellow man, to their laws, to their world, to their God is suddenly celebrated. Having children is likewise an apotheosis of misanthropy. They hate being challenged, being seen, being judged, being known by an other so much that they would rather make an other, impotent, blind, lame, dim, to make him affirm them by default and by force. Abomination hidden in plain sight.

>If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Morality can only be "objective", that is to say Aeonic. Morality in the "secular", "humanist", or "relative" sense is no Morality at all, but merely a play of expedience. Even if the means and end are "good", incidentally, I maintain there is no such thing, like children not working, it is still immoral because it is fundamentally a cynical wager from the outside in that still treats their identity as a nuisance it merely begrudgingly works around rather than acknowledge as a principle. And, moreover, it is only ostensibly "good", and actually only provides them one "good" in order to further exploit them through other means, in this particular case mandatory institutionalization, morbid prolonging of childhood, parents' explicit child fetish, etc.

>does anyone actually profit then? who?

Yaldabaoth.

Ask yourself what good are gains contingent on such trivialities.

This is PATHETIC. A hick berating an engineer because he hasn't tasted mud. Parenthood is an abomination through the parents' self-aggrandizement alone. That relations contradict Morality, that it is readily admitted that they contradict particular Law, that the Law even yields, and that, moreover, the parties are still NOT satisfied; their narcissism only bursting like a cyst through reproduction - abomination. A sin mortal through obstinance alone.
