Neo-religion

This spiritual revolution has already happened in some sense—it is the religious revolution that began with caveman animal spirit drawings, mythology and monotheistic Judeo-Christian religions. The religious revolution demonstrates the great extents to which humans will strive in the physical world for spiritual utility. Only this revolution was based on faith and ended with the beginning of reason. The new spiritual revolution will be based on reason and science, at least to its bounds; bounds, for which reason and science will themselves argue.

Spiritual singularity

This certain point in history, when we realized our scientific success was linked to an increase in our quality of life, and so we were ordered biologically to pursue scientific success that satisfied our animal selves. There is another certain point I expect in the future when our spiritual success will be linked to an increase in our quality of life—then will begin the spiritual revolution. However, the question remains: wether our quality of life will continue to be based in our animal selves, or if it will rise up into a higher spiritual tier of needs at the peak of Maslow’s hierarchy—such a tier is likely to be up and outside our physical world and bodies.

Spiritual revolution

In the same way that man has made great scientific strides in the past few centuries to understand the order and cause and effect of the physical world, I can imagine another period of great spiritual strides in the next few centuries to understand the order and cause and effect of the spiritual world. I only wonder wether order and cause and effect are the correct nouns to describe the functioning of the spiritual world, or if there are other nouns I don’t know yet—being a product of the scientific revolution, myself.

Consciousness

You look out at the space in front of your eyes and wonder if it’s real and three-dimensional, or if it’s all just a two-dimensional painting right on top of your eyeballs, or if your eyeballs and the rest of your body are just a projection of your brain, or if your brain itself is just a projection—so that it’s all just the manifestation of a consciousness that’s really not physical at all.

Child energy

I feel like a little kid again who doesn’t want to go to bed and wakes up early in the morning with so much energy.

Change

I grow up and move around and change too fast to make consistently accurate observations about myself.

Market

No it’s not popular, but must it be, in order for you to like it? Must you be marketed to? Do you have any values and powers of evaluating on your own?

A long nap

On Saturday, usually; sometimes on Sunday—my exhaustion catches up to me, so that after I make my breakfast, but before I’ve had my coffee, when I’ve read a few pages, I’ll lay down to rest, and then not wake up until it’s dark out. I think about, if I didn’t let it catch up, and just cumulated exhaustion until I died a long nap.

Lost my mind

I really lost my mind today, and so lay up at night, not hungry or tired, but perfectly comfortable; I know I’ll be fine in the morning.

Amoral art

A solid philosophical belief in amorality is very helpful for an artist, because you never again have to take anyone seriously who says, “you are wrong,” and means anything by it other than: “I don’t like your art.”

Breath

A softer, slower and longer breathing, moving in and out of your lungs at the same pace it moves in the open air. An opening and allowing in, and a sighing and allowing out. This kind of breath has less noise and movement—less to hear and feel, and so better for meditation.

Thirsty

I know I'm no longer thirsty
When I've forgotten my cup
And picked it up by accident
To find there is still some water left

Enlightenment

The Enlightenment advocated reason as a primary value of society; only that reason is an unstable foundation for society, if it reduces to uncertainties, especially in ethics.

Pigeons

In San Francisco,
the homeless people 
are like pigeons, 
eating out of the garbage 
and shitting everywhere.
