But first. . . . . the worldly wisdom of Reverend "Lenny" von Mötorhead:
A thinking man's philosophy, "no doubt"! (hee, hee, hee)
(Yet the silence "speaks for itself")
. . . Who are these guys-- the four thrashers of the post-millenial apocalypse with "The Gor-Gor of Revelations"?
"A Word About Witnessing":
"THE DARKER SIDE OF CLASS & STATUS RECOIL". . . . .
Cultural stratum "comes on
many levels"-- like the consumption of alcohol which is also just as much a part
of the human dimension "as anything". From raw, kerosene-tasting "moonshine"
from backwoods stills "like old-time religion" to "smoother spirits" in a hot
night-spot where most beliefs "are pretty flimsy", at best. So much of how we
live today boils down "to lifestyle choices"-- WHAT WE CONSUME, mostly through
"a branded image" and most "jaded hipsters" don't want to deal with us because
"of guilt-by-association". . . . . when you don't want to quarrel "with a
loser", "a doofus", "a moron" not hip to the seedy, pathetic, underlying
realities "out of blindness" that can only make you smirk "as a
defense-mechanism". No one wants to quarrel "with a doofus" over morality,
religion, or politics-- particularly when the soul before you "doesn't want to
admit they're one", and will do everything "to prove you wrong" in a pathetic
quagmire "of bad feeling" when someone perhaps "a bit more objective" would see
how both "have a point". Sometimes, the mischievous "will trail on the heels" of
a far-out person "or fad" for the sake of novelty-- or some kind of absurd,
grotesque joke.
Look at these buttons--
That is the fount "of all spiritual wisdom", at least in my book. And will put many on the road to spiritual wisdom, starting with yourself. . . . .
"Humanism's
Halting Lamness". . . . . and the middle-finger
given to Kurt Vonnegut-style candy-cane sugar-kitsch/rot for a society gone
mushy with abundance's gift of dithering, limp-dicked uncertainty like a
piss-errection of sniveling liberal libido for "the greased lightning" of hokey
pursuits. Channel the swirling sparks, forks, and edies "of the spiritual
imagination" like ironic, giddy role-play. . . . . the magician's "lightning
rod" running into the grounded mass of earthy "life experience" found in bonded
unpleasantries that the sheltered middle-class neophyte "would prefer to avoid".
Among "the gals", particularly on the left, comes a piteous Vaudville
tear-jerking routine of amorphous shapes and nameless dread that mirrors the
anxieties of the day, precisely "how folks don't know HOW TO FEEL"-- or in WHAT
QUANTITIES, or what is AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE under the onus of their
neighbor's reproval. Ambiguity's contrition is the silent killer that makes it
"far easier" for the poorest, most-confused "to be picked-off" by malice or
other unfortunate circumstances as others drag themselves around "the cult of
suffering" like death's drum-beat, anticipation's gallows-chamber of dread &
morbidity.

all that you oaken-faced lecture-hall activists crucify "McFood", their 99¢

(You're "the joker on the left"!)
When it comes to a steadfast anti-Catholicism that exists in some "Bible-believin'" Protestant Circles. . . . .
I've heard the arguments, stared hard at the hysteria, but what you must understand is that all religion and culture exists to assimilate and mix with other preexisting forms and generate something that is also part of the spiritual experience, just as valid and as much as "that impulse" as anything else-- otherwise it would not have lasted as it did. Just "the why" or "the how" things have come to be have always had mixed motivations-- one that is "of the light", one "of the dark", and others that are just "of the day-to-day". The larger an institution with gravity and needs, the more inherent potential it has to carry, to a certain extent, "the dark, sucking NEGATIVE energy"-- made possible only because of its "sheer size". This potential exists in all representations "of a living organism", whatever its form and no one is free "from the dark side of the coin". One must just be wise "to have enough distance" not to take anything "as the ultimate existential authority" except for the sheer state "of light". This state of higher consciousness has the potential to be realized within all living beings, depending "on how they're wired" culturally or in their personal make-up to understand it, and many are perhaps in disagreement about the meaning or interpretation, but man-made vessels are but a crude passage "to that ultimate reality", and should be taken "for what they are".
MORE
ON THIS
All human beings carry around a twisted basement somewhere deep in their psyche full of dark, lurking thoughts-- full of doubts, paranoia, irrational fears, obsessions, and blood-lust that conflicts with "our public face", and then again-- who we think we're supposed to be. This can take expression in rationalizations, conspiracy theories, and all manner "of creative bullshit" that avoids the issue of why, objectively, "you're not moving the ball" as you think yourself into a corner, floundering around in circles either in fear or "self-congratulation" that refuses to take the next step "and actually move the ball forward". Half-truths can be expanded upon and make one look far more pure and morally self-righteous, when someone with a bit more of an objective, bemused air can wink at the self-important, self-serious, and ultimately "self-serving" parading about of the other's apparent humbleness as a form of hokey, down-home manipulative posturing.
You can't fool "a half-Jewish bullshit artist", though I will walk away with the best of your message that shines through your grungy flaws. . . . . beyond "the bogus turn-off's" that cause so many not to listen.
An article to consider, is one right here from "The New Yorker" to perhaps get "an historical take" on the flesh that would become the life force of vibrant LIVING LEGEND in hearts & minds. . . . .
A
very funny and cynical read. . . . .
that everyone should definitely consider is
"How to Get Rich as a Televangelist or Faith Healer"
by the author, Bill Wilson which talks about how in the world there will always
be "mixed motivations"-- in either believer, half-believer, or cynical operator
in which a combination of taboos, excitement, gullibility, the mass psychology
of crowds-- and of course, everyone's desire for an easy, "quik-fix" solution
with a bit of magical thinking and suggestibility can easily be misdirected by
less-than-stellar characters with perhaps a bit of charisma and audacity, if not
an excellent grasp of timing and showmanship. As "a half-Jewish bullshit
artist", I kid you not that you will enjoy this book which may be purchased
directly
here on Ebay. "When Love is not Enough", we
always turn to our recovered "veteran" of the scene, Bill Wilson. . . . . a fine of "a pen name" as any. . . . . or am
I just "pulling your leg"?

(No, I didn't write the book)
(This is not a clever marketing ploy)
On
"Minister's Daughters". . . . . to say
that church is a little bit "like show business", a traveling act-- and
sometimes the kids are drawn in "as carnival workers", especially when they're
expected "to play a role" or maybe be sent out to draft young rubes "into the
tent". They can grow incredibily jaded and cynical-- because no one's being
PARTICULARLY REAL with them, which is why they get into trouble. . . . . looking
for mischief and adventure. Boys grovel at their feet and they're not
particularly impressed. Only a more experienced carnival worker "with a heart of
gold" can see through their tricks and get them away from "the den of snakes". .
. . . or even Phil Anselmo of Pantera.
(Laughably,
"Media
Matters"
took the speech down)
. . . . . then put it back up again.
For all that folks ridicule Glenn Beck's show, particularly this speech, this is a perfectly-legitimate expression of destiny, and piecing together "God's plan" when at first the chunk of the jigsaw puzzle may not be "immediately obvious" and we have to slowly "work through" toward the solution with a healthy bit of skepticism-- that those down here "on Earth" inherently have all the answers with a liberal "statist" government run "by experts", whoever they may be "or think they are".
