anti cosmic philosophy

[dannerz]

According to some persons holding this pose, we realize that reality and nature contain some really mean, terrible things.

We can either accept it or reject it.

Some people accept destruction and try to add to it. They want to destroy all life and all reality.

But some people want to only destroy what must be destroyed, and replace it with something higher than the general entropy of it all.

 

[Straw Dog]

All forms that are 'constructed' are conditioned for 'destruction'. Really, nothing is created or destroyed, only transformed. There is a cosmic flow of infinite transformation with no beginning or end. Energy is a river and life is a waterfall. Every water droplet is unique, but only has the temporary appearance of separation. We are the river and the waterfall. Not one, not many. Lose yourself to flow with it all.

I guess if you went into a meat grinder you would only be transformed, not destroyed.

 

[Straw Dog]

Yes, and then perhaps that which is transformed would be eaten by the birds or the worms. So it goes...

Seeking to add to 'destruction' is based upon a fascination with the apparent disappearance of all forms. This is the quintessential passion of the nihilistic view. However, in some ways, it is no different than the hedonistic view which is seduced by appearances. Both represent temporary attachments to fleeting forms. Such entanglement entails the sensation of struggle, either to create or destroy. Both views are narrow and extreme.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Yes, I'm quite familiar with this worldview due to my explorations of extreme LHP Gnosticism (Gnostic Satanism and Gnostic Luciferianism). It's really quite depressing and the logical end of it is to commit suicide.
