I invite you to consider that "Mean" and "Good" are but illusions. They are figments of Your imagination that You employ to make this contextual field called life more compelling and interesting. Yes, Mean Always Wins, if You will it to be so. But it doesn't really matter, because ultimately nothing really matters...except the Essence of You, resonating, for Now and Always, on the ripples of Eternity.

I hope I don't seem facetious, Jess, because I get worked up over these things too (believe me, I do). I strive to preserve sanity and equilibrium by appropriating such (Eastern) philosophical outlooks and employing them upon the stuff of my own life. By telling myself that I Am Making This All Up I bestow some peace of mind upon myself. Two very wise people once told me that the mind is a wonderful tool but a terrible master. When we quiet the mind, we get in touch with a deeper sense of reality, one where Bush, Hitler, our fucked-up parents, our own sense of inadequacy, and all the rest of it are seen as fleeting phantoms in a horror show we devised for our own delectation. But the horror show isn't real.

What is real? We get a sense, a taste of Real when we are lost in the bliss of sexual union/release. This is why you see some folks do some extraordinary or even horrific things to capture or preserve this state or sensation...they are craving the Real, but are not employing the most constructive means to nurture it in their own lives. They have the right general Idea, but their path is strewn with the pitfalls of selfishness and bad faith. As someone who is compulsive in his behavior regarding pornography, and who has been tempted towards (and has actually engaged in at times) sexual recklessness, I have some sympathy for these souls, and I try not to judge them (though sometimes I find myself doing so). Sexuality, like the mind, is a wonderful tool when used wisely and with the heart always in place. Without love, sexuality can become an all-devouring demon. So All Things with Love...Always with Love.

oh, ok. So I MADE up that Susan Smith drowned her kids....I made up the Holocaust...it was all in MY head..

God, I am one sick sick woman.

Well, if it's in Your head, it's in My head too. If You're sick, then I'm sick right here with You. The only sickness really, is not recognizing the Illusion for what it is. Susan Smith and her children are real, and so are all the participants of the Holocaust, but the events that bring them to mind are like acts in a play, that we collectively write and perform...for the sheer Fun Of It! Yes, the Universe is one big Game, devised for our own Divine Pleasure. This Pleasure exists on a Soul level of reality, not on the level of the conscious Mind. The Mind sees all of it as Horror, but the Soul can look beyond the Horror to see It from all other, different kinds of angles.

Look...Susan Smith's children and the murdered ones in the Holocaust are not what they seemed to be...they were like butterflies released from the chrysalis, able to return Home a bit sooner than the rest of us. They are stronger than we realize...We are stronger than we realize. We are spirits encased but momentarily in garb of flesh. We are in the world, but not of the world. WE ARE (simply) GOD.
