now i see it. now i don't. what i thought i had double posted was this: i don't want enlightenment, i want a world in which every historical decision was made on the basis of logic in the service of universal consideration. and no one hates either now. but yah, dandilions are cool. they tell us that the universe owes nothing to what we tell each other to pretend. but as long as you don't hurt anything doing so, you can pretend anything that makes you smile, or even that doesn't. in the spirit/dream universe, its fun to teleport and levitate, and not have to eat or sleep or stay warm, but every morning i wake in this one, usually hungry and needing to take a piss. i also know of course, that a day will come when that no longer happens. the unknown being unknown does not prevent anything we can imagine from being possible. but only as long as we do not allow ourselves to become dependent on expecting it to. (that's kind of the whole trick of it really, what makes an unreasoning fanatic is never learning this) (although if my previous post makes better sense, that's ok too)
