Looking for stories free of worldly attachments, emptiness, higher planes, calm, alone, in philosophical freedom.

I don't want to see idiots like you on MY board, but we can't all have it our way. You're condemned to this world of opposites just like me.

Construct your sentence again. What exactly do you want from us? I can't decide if you want a story free of or with philosophical freedom ...whatever the fuck that means.

Have you ever felt sickened by the world around you, and felt that human affairs were meaningless; work is meaningless toil, politics post hoc rationalization of feelings as Hume would say, and blind allegiance to ideologies and fiction binds human beings in an endless march towards their grave? Philosophical freedom means complete and total nihilism, and a rejection of the retarded, blathering, lip flapping of the illusioned lower consciousness ravel. Ironically this clarity of the imbecile gives one a desire for a dream, in which all is well, all is calm, all is free.

Of course, you cannot have a plot without conflict, and so Kafka showed us in allegory how this illusion we are under in the form of a dream, to show us the reality of the horrible nightmare into which human beings are born without consent.

But I persist in wishing that there were a book which gives us a sort of Yogi detachment, one which is almost like Hal from 2001 speaking to us and giving us a glimpse of perfection. A glimpse of freeing beauty, detached from the stupidity of human toil. I've been reading the Bhagavad Gita lately and it inspired me to ask this question again.

Is it really that weird? I didn't even notice. It's just some rearranged organs, like one of those plastic anatomical classroom puppets you can take apart.
