    Children are born blind in our final generations.
    As adults the children are in the dark groping at walls thinking they going somewhere.
    They dont say out loud 'where am i'... If they do they soon realize they are blind and naked too. Like adam and eve in their guilt.
    Sin is guilt. Shame. Feeling like crap when you realize what yoi have become. Sin is less in the act but more in the consequence and self mortification of knowing what you are. What you have really done. And who you have hurt along the way.
    While all the things before are also sin they are minor to the sin of feeling the weight and pressure of your sin.
    That ia why we prefer to not know.
    To sleep. To be lukewarm. To let ourselves die and be like a wooden log or a lump of metal. To become idle idols that dont feel that dont work that dont think too deep that can no longer fight the only good fight there is to fight.
    Im sure youve seen that movie too.
    Not T2 although you could be mine.
    Im talkinh bout the one with the lion and the scarecrow.

    Sometimes late when things are real
    And people share the gift of gab between themselves
    Some are quick to take the bait
    And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves
    No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
    That he didn't, didn't already have
    And Cause never was the reason for the evening
    Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

    So please believe in me

    We dont see the real thing.
    We see the illusion. The maya thrown over our eyes like a fishermans net bringing all the new fish to their prison.
    We see the shadow of reality.
    And we think it to be gods.
    God is not a regular noun. Its a proper verb. Its spirit in action.
    And you gotta know a ton of that grammar before you can be a boon dock cleric.
    Or you can be born alive like all kids before they get to know the mocker. The lie. The back of the robe.
    You know that feeling when you disappoint somebody that loves you and when you look their way all you see is their back?
    Feels shitty when you get the back of the robe. They still around but all you see is their back. Then just their shadow. Because eventually they are gone and all you got is your memories and your guilt.
    And now you an adult.
    Congrats.
    Time to die and be a child again.
    Welcome to the jungle.
    Its paradise city.
    Oh sweet child o mine.
    First though you gotta have a little patience.
    If not you run the risk of staying dead all your life and never seeing the face again.
    Because you think you stayin alive when you been dead for years.
    Cuz thats how the mocker gets you. And how he gets the last laugh.

    But no fear.
    The time has come.
    Children will dream in technicolor and old men will have vision again.

    When are you gonna come down
    When are you going to land
    I should have stayed on the farm
    I should have listened to my old man
    You know you can't hold me forever
    I didn't sign up with you
    I'm not a present for your friends to open
    This boy's too young to be singing the blues
    chorus:
    So goodbye yellow brick road
    Where the dogs of society howl​

    aaah Rube...

    I disagree with so much you propose and yet "where the dogs of society howl" hits the mark squarely.



    enough for tonight

    An old sage was asked to explain the torah.
    He said love your brother like you do yourself and love god above all things and you will be golden.
    Bit the confused student asked... Then what about all the other sayings and hundreds of stories and thousands of hours spent reading the torah. What about all those otjer words in the holy book?
    The rabbi answered him... The golden rule is all you need to please god and live a happy fruitfull life. The rest is just the explanation for the perplexed who miss the point/gist/mark.

    Haha... I didn't even realize. I've never heard of the Screaming Trees.

    Perhaps one of the items on the table could be Tool. And another could be Garbage. Of course the screaming trees 'could' be Primal Scream


    and.. of course... I could have all three wrong

    for the record it's...
    ◆ radiohead
    ◆ alice in chains
    ◆ pearl jam
    ◆ nine inch nails
    ◆ matchbox 20
    ◆ soundgarten
    ◆ hole
    ◆ smashing pumpkins
    ◆ screaming trees
    although i give capn credit for his choices as well
    the screaming trees is correct mousey, although they were more of a late 80's band tbh
    and i only know of them because my brother was a musician back then...

    wow, hippie ginger
