The Stars

General
I may be a "spiritual" person but I don't often like it when other people talk to me about spirituality anymore, since most spiritual folks tend to make assertions about this or that... As if they're 100% sure that "energy work" or Reiki or what have you actually works. These assertions are dangerous - such assertion is how cults are created. And once ensnared by them, people don't want to leave and face the fear that awaits them. The fear of the truth that we can't even verify that the past exists. The fear that there is no meaning outside their bubble. We can infer what the external world is telling us, but inference is not concrete proof. The only thing you can truly know is that "you" are happening, whatever that even means, and you are witnessing something wild and untouchable. There is no past or future, only an ever-present moment in which every atom in existence is constantly descending from a state of quantum superposition into a classical one in .00000000003 seconds or something... and you're experiencing it 80ms late. Tradition and belief be damned - dogma is the root of all "evil."
That's right, good and evil are made up too. Religion is not valid - relativism is. And meaning can still be found in it, even if it's scary as hell to contemplate. It's supposed to be. On the other side of that fear is freedom and great power, you just have to let it pass through you. It may be easier and necessary to believe certain things, but until you conquer that fear, don't talk to me about the stars.
