Religion has been something I’ve overlooked for most of my life, which may be to my benefit since I was able to discover spirituality on my own. I’ve always seen religion as an ideology that was purely based on faith and used to describe things without explanation and as a means of control. These claims are referring to the parasite ridden underbelly of any foundation.

The Bible was one of the first books ever printed for a good reason, the earliest men who set out to create a stable society developed methods to find the next milestone, even while stranded in a desert. 

Spirituality is a guiding tool through use of goals and respect of a higher power.

Without a goal we are wandering aimlessly. 

Without a higher power to keep us humble, our ego strips us of virtue.

Religion cares about you regardless of your disposition.

Prebunked Malinformant

If you are wondering if I believe these claims, you are missing the point.

Be informed and produce your own thoughts, or someone else is in your head.

Let your views be challenged so your perception strengthens.

Be a truth seeker, but be cautious of truth telling. 

Truth tellers are the first to die by their neighbor, as the truth doesn’t want to be heard.

Don’t let anyone stand between you and the divine.

Advocates for censorship are enemies of humanity.

Geometrical Frustration

Art is a result from exercising our ability to bring thoughts into reality.

A mark of quality of any product is staying power.
Art cannot have staying power unless it entices you to investigate.

It needs to engage you in a way that evolves with your own ideas into a new experience, leaving a mental scar.

Otherwise, the art will eventually be lost in the ever rising ocean of “content.” 

Bottom of the Well

Dead Hand is an enemy from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Curiously, it is one of the few enemies in the game that does not have official artwork.

Modular Consciousness

If you are looking for motivation or curious about my fervor, I wrote a short article here:

Stigmata

The neural paths creased from learning resemble the valleys we tread to reach a peak of understanding. 

Enlightenment does not come without scars. 

Careened into existence without consent.

A squishy battery within a cage of bones.

A vessel equipped with a mast moved by threat and wonder. 

Let the light touch you, and let the words spill through.

Feed the will of the one confined in time, lined with stardust.

Tomorrow is guaranteed to nothing.

We live as a pair along side our potential self.

It hides under our skin, trapped by the spell of a chaotic, insecure delusion.

Ready, writhing, waiting to show you what it's capable of. 

Having a lean body allows you to easily create pose references with distinct forms. 

I only ever had the intention of exercising for my health, but the extra rewards were not obvious to me. 

If there's something you want to do but haven't yet, there may be a reason to do it that you haven't discovered.
