RE: Terence McKenna Offers Another Reason To Have Hope For Humanity

The first makes one proud, the other ashamed.

Therein is the rub. We are proud and ashamed of what isn't ours to claim.

What is the difference between seeing the universe as an inherently purposeless fart, utterly meaningless, but seeking some meaning in that meaninglessness and every other cynicism and nihilistic nonsense? Either our frame of reference is inherently meaningful or it's not.

I'm not burdened by anyone else's actions or understanding, I am not proud of anything that was here long before me or anything I do that inherently comes without effort, without blood, sweat and tears, nor do I have any sense of embarrassment for things that are out of my control, and I feel pity for anyone that falls under the delusion that there is anything new under the sun or that novelty is something to look forward to, as I pity anyone that thinks finding meaning in a meaningless world isn't pure delusion.

Either we impart consciousness and awareness, free will, magic, timelessness and infinity, desire for freedom and joy, love and to love itself, to everything or we sit lonely on top of our mountainous hubris, either we recognize that inherently there is a purpose to everything and seek to understand and fulfill our purpose amid the rest of creation and understand our relationship to the universe, or we are nothing more than an accident born out of cosmic fart and we discredit creation as inherently automatic, as merely a matter of coincidence, of indifferent momentum persisting purely out of forces of nature, nil grace, nil magic, nil awareness, nil joy and love, utterly indifferent and vastly more important and more timeless, more necessary than us or our purpose.
