Freedom: Agnosticism
A.k.a.
Empiricism, Ontological Pragmatism, Fuzzy Logic
Well done!! Your lack of premature
certainty does you credit! The World as you've seen is not black and white
but fuzzy, uncertain, glorious and full of wonder. I hope you will lead
the rest of your life, taking everything with a pinch of salt, taking
nothing for granted and looking for opportunities to increase your own
and others feelings of joy.
"Just once I'd like to hear a positive drug story...
Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is just energy condensed to a slower vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather."
Bill Hicks
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. It goes up and down and round and round, there's thrills and chills, it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: is this real or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered and have come back to us and say, 'Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride.' And we, kill those people.
'Shut him up, we've a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry and my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.'
It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who tell us that and let the demons run amok. And it doesn't matter becuase, it's just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice, no effort, no work, a choice right now between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off; the eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world right now to a better ride: take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded and we can explore Space, together, both inner and outer, forever in peace."
