THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
When will you own it?
Stop begging for crumbs like a pigeon in the park!
Nobody anywhere has TRUTH tied up with a red ribbon to hand to you so you
can go skipping down the road with a smile!
Get over that idea--it is a tragic lie.
____________________
WHO HAS THE TRUTH?
That is the wrong question!
You are asking to be swindled, mind raped and abused.
Is that what you want?
Of course not.
____________________________________
What is the point in YOU being alive if you are just going to join a group and be like everybody else?
An ant in somebody's anthill--is that your dream?
_______________
People make shit up and sell it as TRUTH.
People who are dumber buy it and make it their world.
We are born thinking we must swallow other people's truth.
That is a lie.
______________
iNFORMATION falls into two large categories, generally.
1. Things which sound like they work because they are exactly how we want them to be
2. Things which DO work, but they don't appeal to us for one reason or another
Guess which of the above MOST people choose?

If teach that same man how to fish for a living--he can feed himself and others for the rest of his life.
THAT IS PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE

Until you are 40 years old FORGET religious ideas! You don't need them because religious ideas are imagination
and you live in a REAL world. You may as well watch cartoons and masturbate as far as being productive with that kind of life.
_________________
Hard to hear but true. . .
People with religious thoughts are sick in the head. Sometimes that sickness makes them smile when they should be crying.
You can call it 'happiness' but it isn't.
Whatever a sick person may touch has that sickness on it. Touch religion and you'll get sick too--count on it!
Religion creates invisible persons you'll have to beg every day of your life.
Religion creates invisible persons you'll have to fear every night of your life.
Religion will teach you who to hate: everybody who doesn't think like you. This is the insanity our world is filled to the brim with.

You want to be "good"?
Help somebody build something. Visit a hospital or take a meal to an old person or a shut-in.
Spend time talking to lonely people. Don't give them ANSWERS to life--just listen and nod.
Plant a tree in a desolate landscape. Feed a stray animal.
Don't pray for anybody because that is the most dishonest, phony help there is.
I always tell people, "Don't pray for me--dance the Hokey Pokey, instead. It is just about as useful but more entertaining."
In other words--stop trying to pretend you make a difference just because you recite some empty words to invisible people.
________________
A good life is a practical life.
Learn something which is true and you'll be better for it because you can build, mend, invent, craft and shape a better life with it.
Waste time memorizing invisible truth and your mind is like a rat's nest.
_______________
I have met very few deeply religious people who weren't PIG IGNORANT about the real world!
You know why? The real world stops mattering to them. A fake world is much nicer to learn about!
If you hang out exclusively with pig ignorant people jibber-jabbering about a fake world--YOU WILL BE IGNORANT and FAKE, too.
___________________
Get outside of your own head!
Discard those ideas planted inside your mind that TRUTH is welfare from heaven.
There is no heaven except in the arms of the person you'll love.
There is a hell, however. Hell is real. It is the life of a true believer who trades every beautiful accomplishment
in life by wasting their time on make-believe with a stupid smile on their ignorant face.
___________________
Travel. Meet new people. Look around at the ENTIRE picture and not one tiny spot.
People the world over are BASICALLY NICE. People are kind and happy and generous and beautiful--but you won't ever
hear that if you talk to RELIGIOUS NUTS! They are trained to see only evil--and it makes the good vanish from their world.
____________
Build your own world.
People it with sanity.
Water it and nurture it and watch it grow.
At the end of life, you'll look back on friends, family, people who admire you for all the help you've been.
THAT is your heavenly reward.
___________
But whatever you do--don't go around empty-handed like a street beggar pleading for TRUTH.
True things must be dug up with a strong shovel, a strong back and much sweat on your forehead.
True things must be discovered, sorted, puzzled out and tested over and over and over.
ONLY HONEST PEOPLE know what few true things are known.
You know why?--they worked very hard to explore, test, refine, and demonstrate those small truths.
Like what?
A kind word spoken to a down-hearted person will brighten their life.
It is impossible to be too generous to and old person.
Everybody is better than you.
Listening is the most difficult talent in life.
See? So simple. So beautiful. So true.

Throw your Bible, Koran, Pearl of Great Price, Astrology primer and voodoo mask in the dumpster, my friend.
Civilization tried all that much and didn't get very far in the process. Don't join the jolly liars or the know-it-alls.
Keep company with the simple folks with big curiosity and bigger hearts and you'll do just fine.
STOP LOOKING for COSMIC ANSWERS.
Choose your life using your own brain and the result will be exactly what you have the strength and courage to build.
I wish only the best for you, my friend!
