You’re going to think I’m crazy, because what I’m going to tell you will be distressing.
Distress is what we avoid.
The world as you see it isn’t real. It only exists as an illusion in your mind.
You will think I’m crazy because I don’t accept the illusion.
My mind is damaged. I’ve derailed from the tracks.
Now I see that the tracks don’t exist.
I don’t have multiple personalities, dissociated identities; I strive to act right, any other behavior wouldn’t be useful.
My waking eyes don’t perceive other realities because my mind is merely damaged, it’s not completely broken.
But I do see a reality—that you see—that doesn’t exist outside of this image, this landscape, this face.
In this way I’m crazy just like you!
We’re both practical for living right now on this earth, the insane asylum of the universe!
So why, arrogant animal, do you look outside and think you see one picture, 3-D?
Do you think it is your super sight that flies out at God-speed and brings your surroundings to your eyes instantaneously, just because you’re too slow to catch the moment of darkness when you first open your eyes?
Do you think time exists outside a universe of moving objects?
Do you think time would exist without the light placing special glasses on your face; the shining flying ants that ask no questions as they arrange into sheets of paper that stack one over the other atop your red giant eye?
The proud, powerful ape feels in control as he looks from the top of a mountain at the countless particles bombarding his retinas, oblivious to the fact that he is trapped in a world of infinite sheets of paper stacking a bible in every tongue with each breath.
You think the right life is to make money so you can have children?
Why, because it will make you a success? Every life not followed by an ape’s template is a life not worth living?
Or because you think if you’re one day a parent you can justify your parent’s selfish behavior by acting the same way towards your own children?
What is an adult, responsibility or acceptance?
Entering adulthood without the risk of distressing others, without distressing yourself?
Going with the flow? Or staying stuck to the tracks?
