There we go. Nailed that landing. We all get upset one way or the other. We all get
emotional. I'm very much so not prone to emotions actually. Way more so than other
people. Almost robotic. I did almost get upset today. Well actually I did.
Mountain House Meals were on sale at Cabela's 20% off. I bought all these boxes of Mountain
House Meals which had six in them. They wanted to open up each box and scan each one. I was
like, why would you do that? They're all exactly the same for each box. I even called the manager
over and was like, yeah we need to open up each box and scan each one which is the dumbest
thing imaginable. I mean just pure insanity. I was like, that's ridiculous. It's absurd.
It's illogical. It's stupid. There's no common sense in it. And yet, stupidity prevailed
so they had to scan each and every one. We all of course suffer. We get angry at the
ignorance and the stupidity of the world just as I did today. Of course I didn't yell or
lose my temper. I'm going to quote the Bible on this one. Because there is metaphysics
in the Bible. By the way, all the stuff that Christians find absolutely amazing from Christian
mystics came from Neo-Platonism like the Cloud of Unknowing, Pseudo-Dionysius, Jacob Bema,
all these others. Jacob Bema is not that early, however. I'm going to quote the Bible. There's
an old saying, and nobody really thinks about it, that there's no rest for the wicked. I'm
going to quote the Bible. The Bible says that peace is not to wicked men. What it actually
should say, if it were a real good translation, which that is not, is that there's no peace
to be found amongst wicked men. There you go. There's an accurate translation. This
is also found in Isaiah 5720, the key JV, which says, but the wicked are like a troubled
sea, disturbed waters, where it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. I used
to do a lot of cave diving, by the way. Cave diving is insanely dangerous. I still have
my cave diving certification. We're talking about underground, underwater caves. The bottom
half of the cave is just covered in silt. It's very, very, very fine. The flow of the
water coming out of the cave is like this. If you stick your hand in that or just flip
it, it stirs it all up, and you get a complete blackout. Then you have to feel your way out
of the cave using a guideline, which is laid in most caves. Very, very bad. This is the
reason why you have to walk on the ceiling, basically, when you're doing cave diving.
All of this is just fundamental metaphysics, but nobody ever thinks about it. There's no
rest for the wicked. What does that really mean? What's the metaphysics behind it? There
is actual palpable demonstrable. I don't mean empirically demonstrable. It's ontologically
demonstrable, and it's certainly so demonstrable through retroductive analysis.
First let's state that, and this is undeniable, that everybody seeks rest because rest is
peace. When you're resting, you're like, after a hard day of work, that's an existential
type of rest. But everybody seeks fundamental rest. You could be perfectly rested physically,
but you could be stressed about bills and your wife or your job. We're not at rest,
but everybody seeks rest. To never have rest is to always have hell. I don't care why you
define hell. I couldn't care less about people's belief systems. I don't care about religion.
I don't want to ever discuss religion, even though I just quoted a couple passages from
the Bible. To never have rest, by definition, is to always have hell. Evil does stir up
the world, whether that be demonstrably so yourself, and I don't mean necessarily empirically.
However, the higher effects, the lower. All conflicts in this world, by the way, are spiritual.
Even the most mundane things you think are the complete opposite of spiritual. Everything
in this world is a spiritual fight. I don't want to say war, but it is a spiritual struggle.
I don't want to quote another word for struggle, but I think we all know what that word is.
But evil does stir up the world. Emotions do create their own field and imprint not
only on the soul, but also, too, on surroundings. This is demonstrable. A lot of people think,
and I love debating people about, because I hate the word ghost. The ghost is a meaningless
term and, of course, it hearkens to all sorts of nonsense, like ghost stories, ghostbusters.
I know the etymology of the word ghost, but I never use it. We're just referring to disembodied
beings. It's like winding up a watch. There is a power. We want to have a watch that is
wound, right? We sit there and we wind the watch, because winding the watch is useful.
It lets us tell time. This has power. This is something that the movies actually got
right. There are very few things that they do get right, because I really don't like
movies and I really don't like Star Wars, for example. They're talking about the power
of the dark side. Let's just use that analogy, because people really understand that analogy.
These people do have power, just as like winding up, because if an unwound watch is pretty
useless, it doesn't keep time. People today don't wind their watch anymore. You used to
have to wind a frigging watch. There is a power to being emotional, but that power is
also to be living in hell, not only in a temporal hell, but an ontological hell, which has nothing
to do whether you're alive or not. Here's the really important thing that should scare
the hell out of everybody, is that hell can be, and we've all felt it in life, can not
only be here and now with this flesh and blood critter, but it is completely stuck to you
like glue, so to say. It's actually not stuck to you. It's actually part of who you are.
After disembodiment, people say, where do we go when we die? It's like, what makes you
think you are that which dies, which of course is completely ridiculous. Where does the signal
go when they smash the radio? There's no signal in the radio, but that's not a denial
of signal. There's no soul in the body, but that's also not a denial of the soul. I quoted
those two biblical passages because they're metaphysically accurate, and it's an ancient
primordial principle of monistic monism, but you can find stuff like that in the Bible.
There's nothing that I have one way or the other in quoting the Bible on that. I really
have to repeat it again. To never have rest is to always have hell. Everybody with any
drop of wisdom seeks to have rest. Wisdom is always the path to peace. When you have
wisdom, you don't get perturbed by all the evils and sicknesses of this world.
Listen, I got angry today at stupidity when I was buying those Mountain House meals. I'm
not making any declarations about myself. I don't care what anybody thinks about me
one way or the other. It's not important. Wisdom is its own reward, but people should
seek wisdom because wisdom is peace. A lot of people try to calm themselves. They play
harp music or whatever. I listen to harp music, by the way. People play peaceful music, and
they'll sit there and they'll breathe and whatever. It does calm them down, but there's
only true calm through, by, and manifest by wisdom. Wisdom is no different than the self,
by the way, in true metaphysics, which is self-proximity. It is the reverse of dilution
because nobody ever purifies. This is actually wrapped with, of course, this gold leaf, wrapped
with genuine gold. No one ever purifies gold. Gold has never, ever, ever been purified.
What? Gold is extracted and it is brought out of dilution. You're concentrating it,
so wisdom is self-proximity. Wisdom is self-proximity, and it is, that means ignorance and evil and
hatred and all the emotions that wind the watch of life, is the opposite of what? What
would be the opposite of self-proximity? It would be dilution, dilution in worries and
concerns and stress about this mirage world. Let me repeat again. This world is a mirage.
It's a phantasm. It's a fart. It absolutely is a fart. Way stinkier than a real fart,
too, because we all know how stinky life can be. It doesn't matter if you're the richest.
You see these people, they're uber-rich. They can see their skin fading, they get face
lifts, and they end up getting so many face lifts they look like an alien. They're worried
about their money, and instead of owning their possessions, their possessions own them. You
know what I'm saying? People are so worried about their possessions, they don't actually
own their possessions anymore. The possessions own them. They're literally under the dominion
of their possessions, and this is what happens to evil people. These are the emotions and
the ties that bind, as the old passage goes. This is the reason why disembodied beings,
I hate the word ghosts, because people are so ignorant. What do you mean ghosts? I don't
care what you believe in. I always love talking to people. You don't believe in ghosts? They're
like, I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in that. Who cares what you believe in? Do you
believe there's a signal? When you turn on your radios, there's a signal. Of course there is.
Everybody knows that. When you tune to 99.9 Rock FM or whatever, you're listening to a signal,
which is a broadcast. Yeah, that's right. When you smash the radio, is the signal still present?
It's not present here. You can't feel it. Of course it is. There's still a signal once the
radio is smashed, but you don't actually believe in disembodied beings. That is stupid, illogical,
unintelligent, and you have not thought much in life, which most people don't. Oh, well,
that makes sense. Getting back to the topic, though, I always love it when people say,
I don't believe in ghosts. I don't care what you believe in. I could care less. Let's just
call them disembodied beings. Well, that's different. It's not different at all. A ghost
is a disembodied being. Anyway, everybody does get angry at the ignorance and stupidity of this
world, just as I did today. But hatred is its own power, just like winding the watch. You're
actually expelling energy to keep the watch wound. But it's a power that is always self-destructive
by design. It follows you. It doesn't follow you. It's actually who you are, fundamentally,
at your absolute spiritual substratum. Spiritual substratum. Who you are, whether you're alive
or immediately after the body kicks it, which is no different than the radio breaking. It is
inescapable, because it is that which you truly are. You don't want that, because you don't want
that disturbance. That is the definition of hell. To never have rest is to always have hell.
You want to know the definition of hell? Imagine the worst part of the most horrible record you've
ever listened to. You ever heard of a record skipping? A lot of young people probably never
heard of records. It just keeps skipping over and over and over again. You ever heard a record
skipping over the same five seconds? There's a wave in the record. It could be a song like,
and happy days, and happy days, and happy days. That's what happens at the point of departure
between the spirit and the body. The emotions have created a nice skipping record. It'll keep
skipping and skipping. 100 years, 200 years. It depends on how deep and profound the energy is.
It'll just keep skipping. You couldn't stand listening to that for five seconds. Imagine
doing that for 500 years. You want to know the definition of hell? That is the definition of hell.
These emotions do create their own field, and they do imprint on the soul. There's metaphysical and
retroductive undeniability about this fact. When we stir that up, we're winding the watch of our
soul. It's not the good kind of winding, but it is a power that people feed on. It's like,
I like to wind my watch, because when I wind my watch, it tells the correct time. It's like,
it does, but you're sitting there perpetually expending energy, winding the watch. You're
living in a type of hell. When people dredge up these emotions, they're literally winding up.
By the way, the true word from the Bama is Nisbandu, which means unwound. It's like the
watch's mainspring has popped. You can't wind it anymore. You're completely at rest,
because a wound, and I can't keep using that analogy, like the mainspring of a watch,
which is a coiled spring, you keep winding it, which adds tension. That tension is its own vortex
of hell. What you're doing is you're creating your own little vortex. When people actually
create hatred, people will seethe in hatred their whole life. I know some people like that. You know
them, and I know them. Something bad happened. It might not even been that bad, but they will
seethe and burn. It will burn. It means just like winding their watch of their soul so tight.
It's not like, which could be something horrific, like someone horrifically injured somebody,
for example, in the worst possible way that I can't even speak about. Nine times out of ten,
the people I know that are just like seething with, seething with this, is something nothing
even close to that horrible happened to them. Just like something that really pissed them off,
like tragically, their house burned down, or somebody did something heinously horrible to
them, but they're still seething. It's demonstrable. It's not some sort of existential thing only.
Obviously, the higher affects the lower. It will affect you physically, but it absolutely,
100% undeniably, follows you, not as a separate thing. It is that which you truly are. It follows
you in a colloquial way of saying, after passing of the physical body, and this is hell. It's like
the record skipping over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. That's
hell. To never have rest is to always have hell. We all need to understand what hatred is because
it's its own power. It's just like the Star Wars things, like, feel the dark side. You can feel
the power. It's like, yeah, it is a power, but it's the power you don't want. It's like fire
is a power. Fire! You know, you can cook your food, you can do all sorts of stuff, you can,
you know, burn things you don't like, but it will consume you. So, that's one thing Star Trek,
Star Trek, Star Wars, excuse me, whatever, Star Wars got right. It's power, feel the dark side.
It is a power, but it ain't the power you want. So, desire, hatred, and on and on and on. These
are all tangential, spiritual accelerators. They're actually metaphysical, ontological
accelerators. It's no different than taking the mainspring of your soul and winding it,
you know. You are creating a tension and a torsion and a vortex of your own self that
will completely transcend this body after its passing. So, you don't want to hold on to that.
By hold on to it, I mean generate it. I mean, you completely let it wash over you. It's like,
you know, that's, because this world is a mirage. Nobody's getting out of this life alive. Nobody.
Not me, not you, nobody. You need to protect yourself and protect your loved ones. The hell
with everything else. There's always going to be taxes and bills and stress and fools and demons
out there. You know, you remove yourself from evil and fools as much as you possibly can,
but you're not going to get it out of this life alive. Nobody is. But you can't let these things
wind the watch of your soul, wind the mainspring of your soul. Some people blame it on everybody
else. Like, no, you can't blame everybody. I know something horrible happened to you,
but you're the one sitting there winding the mainspring of your soul over it. You don't have
to. You have complete control over it. When you have no control, then you're lying to yourself and
you're also a fool because you're just saying that you have no control over anything. And when
you suffer, it's everybody else's fault. And we all know people like that. Most people are lying.
It's not my fault. He did that to me and she did that to me. You know, you have control over
yourself. So obviously these people are evil. Remove yourself from them. Don't ever associate
with them again. They're obviously evil. Lesson learned. You need to take control of your own
life. Or as the ancients have said, take control of the ratings of your life. Talk is cheap. Obviously
I did a lot of talk. I admitted to being upset earlier today. Not truly upset, but it was real
rank stupidity. I was like, well, this is ridiculous. That's just part of life. It's
just, they're walking, they're walking through life like zombies. The ancient Pali word for
these zombies is patugina, which is a miraculous word. This ancient dead language, Pali word,
patugina is almost descriptive in English because it sounds like you're spitting. Patugina. There
is a word for this. Anyway, I hope you liked this video and it was slightly informative.
Have a lovely week. Happy Labor Day.
