I can’t imagine my parents ever said that to me, but myīrother and I were raised as human beings. The first piece we created included my longest-lasting We had to mail information to people who wanted to know I'm no less real than the f***ing beef patty in your Big Mac.When Celebrate Kids began, there was no such thing as emailĪnd the World Wide Web.
We live in a kingdom of bullshit a kingdom you've lived in for far too long. We live in branded houses trademarked by corporations built on bipolar numbers, jumping up and down on digital displays, hypnotising us into the biggest slumber mankind has ever seen. We turned it off, took out the batteries, snacked on a bag of GMOs while we tossed the remnants in the ever expanding dumpster of the human condition. We haven't lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. Synthetic emotions in the form of pills psychological warfare in the form of advertising mind-altering chemicals in the form of food brainwashing seminars in the form of media controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.įinally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him He was nowhere else.Ī world built on fantasy. Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range. Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young God was not there even. With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation. I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not. I went into the ancient temples of idolatry no trace of Him was there. I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not. The soul sometimes leaves the body, then returns.ġ30. The road that leads to the City is endless Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That.
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. You became loving, radiant, and ecstatic.Īnd God in all His glory is pouring the wine. O friend, We can see the truth in your eyes!Īfter one moment with that glorious Friend How long will you decieve Us with this outer show? When the stars were in their perfect place. You were born from the rays of God's Majesty You descended from Adam, by the pure Word of God,Īlas, how can you be satisfied with so little? The bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.
Anyone who knows me, should learn to know me again They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.ġ23. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice.
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to commandĤ8. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody:Ĥ7. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Term limits ain't going to do any good you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians.Įverybody complains about politicians. Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it.ģ3.
