Hope

In the foreground of human suffering and malevolence
Exists this notion of emotional intelligence
This feeling.
This feeling of eventually mentally overcoming the misery
To prevail with existential victory
Because there must be a reason
A reason to endure the hardships of life
Within you, you must incite
The drive which strives to neutralize the strife
Can you see the light?
Do you feel the words triggering an adverse personal memory,
..Medinah?
Serene thoughts ought to deliver you from this arena
Of sorrow, borrow brilliant rays of the morning Sun
As a pun to uplift you from the stun
as brawn to cope
With what is
This is hope

You wrote Hope prefectly here Mescaline B
A true pep talk for the psyche. Enough questions to make us think way into the hours post-reading this.

Thes lines really struck chords -
"Serene thoughts ought to deliver you from this arena
Of sorrow, borrow brilliant rays of the morning Sun " - I mean - what eloquence - very olde worlde but not quaint - y'know my friend?

Really tasty poem.

Yes, I am overtly enamored by the Sun; of what it represents. If one contemplates what the Sun provides, then marvel at its unworldly beauty, you can be elated and pacified by its therapeutic effects. Upon this personal, spiritual revelation, I began to research ancient Sun worship. ⬅ I had all this in mind during the one line you referenced. I am pleased that my poetic conveyance of this connected with you. Thanks for your feedback.

I also have an affinity with the Sun MB
I fell in love with the idea of one of the first monotheist religions - set up by Pharoah Akhenaton who demanded worship of the single sun god disk the Aten - it didnt last but was a forerunner to Christianity and Islam
Thank you for sharing my friend

[Mescaline Butterfly]

👍Yes, I am familiar with this and find it absolutely amazing. ☺

He was considered insane - now its normal to have one god - he was slightly ahead of his time lol

[Mescaline Butterfly]

Lol @"slightly of his time". It's amazing that many mainstream monotheistic religious followers are unaware of this. The evolution of Aten ➡Zoroastrianism ➡ Abrahamic religions. Because of the convoluted stories and seemingly arbitrary existence of the Universe, I used to be an absurdist, but now I am a Sun-loving deist. But it doesn't stop there, I have also considered that we may be living in a simulation [Simulation Argument], Many Worlds Interpretation, or perhaps this could be a dream or video game type thing. I feel like the fact that anything exists is so absurd, that these things possibilities be ruled out.

[Mescaline Butterfly]

*cannot be ruled out

[ANTO]

Hey - shake my hand man
I have thought a lot about the Simulation thing
Yes indeed - quantum computing made it possible I think (sometime in the future) and we are like some super sentient kids show and tell project -

[Mescaline Butterfly]

*Handshake*. Yes, definitely. Observation of Quantum mechanics and astrophysics have so many holes that can be filled with a Designer/Creator(s), but one could argue ignorance via "God of the gaps" theory. But what else could such phenomena be attributed to outside the scope of human measurement?

Interesting that you stated super sentient kidS, implying multiple designers. One could argue who designed the kids, which would yield an infinite regress. What is your opinion of that?

[ANTO]

Yeah well if we are designed then we will only ever know so much - intelligence would be an attribute with a set quantifier/amount each. If thats random about a certain set amount then we get the IQ spectrum and at one of the extremes woud sit the worlds geniuses

Yeah multiple designers - the sentients are perhaps they are also in a sim - after all we have second Life and Sims and such and Second Life characters know nothing of us or our deities.
