Dr. Jordan B. Peterson & Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Dostoevsky's thinking)

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, perhaps the greatest Russian author of the twentieth century, was an Orthodox Christian existentialist, a direct descendant of Dostoevsky's thinking, and a man who took a mighty axe to the terrible tangled roots of communist totalitarianism. He associated inauthentic being on the part of the individual, within society, with the direct degeneration of that society into tyranny and malevolence.

    As Lucifer I'm keenly aware that many people are more in love with the pleasure of sin than the happiness of heaven and health, which is why i might do what's right by me and you, I never expect anyone to reciprocate. Some do and some don't. Some feel entitled to the help I've given and sometimes in that entitlement had waited to shit on me for the good I've done. Which is why I always bet on myself and not anyone else.

    Reason is only as good as it's root. If the root of reason were pain then reason would serve to create pain to feed itself. But if the root of reason is individual humanity then reason is infallible.

    The benefit of temporary nihilism is that the emptiness shows people what is genuinely important. To make a sustainable society is to make one that allows for nihilism to fall on itself within an individual without interference from society so that meaning is self evident once discovered and that is chosen freely. The critique of Christianity I feel Nietzsche had is that if one makes religion about progress from point A to point B is that there's an endless series of points so that Christianity became an act of nihilism in denial of itself in an eternal futile scheme of getting from point to point, unless it's about building something to serve the inherit sacredness of the person progressing. Each individual being like God that discovered that each human being has worth just to exist, and not necessarily just to progress. But what is happiness. It isn't something that is pursued. Joy is the nature that pursues. In my imagination I imagined what it would be like to be God in the moment of creation in Genesis. I imagined a state of rest. God hovered over the waters of the deep. And then the spontaneous surge of happiness within God's soul with the words that allowed the happiness to exist in the world "Let there be light! And there was light and God saw that it was good." Happiness the spoken word that allowed happiness into the universe from the soul of God and then the joy and satisfaction of seeing it was good. Joy is the feeling of satisfaction that comes when genuine happiness is released from the soul in healthy creation. Joy pursues satisfaction, happiness is the natural state that simply arises from a state of rest. Happiness can't be pursued unless a state of rest is sought so that happiness can be nurtured and released in healing creation. In Paradise Lost the happiness is union not only with God but in all the relationships between all the angels. That's why some had a primary friendship with Lucifer and some with God. Lucifer was deeply saddened and grieved when he felt he let down his friends and resolved to make amends to his friends. The happiness of relationships and the grief of lost relationships and the purpose to create reconciliation seems to be the theme. At the end though when Lucifer succeeds in overcoming man he isn't punished for causing the fall. He was punished for not feeling grief for the fall of man though the act was necessary. In the Exodus God allowed snakes to bite the Israelites, but out of mercy God instructed Moses to create a snake sculpture and whoever looked at it would be healed. Isnt that an interesting contrast with the cow idol. And the real problem with racism was imposed viewpoints that prevented people from natural perception that allows for genuine compassion and respect. Humanity doesn't need an imposed theory to be human. Beyond that though if one takes a story from a story from a story then there'd be an infinite regress and mythology would be nihilistic and meaningless. But hypothetically, as absurd as this sounds, let's say there really was a literal Medusa, that there was a literal Hercules and a literal Hydra. If all this sounds absurd now it's because we've somehow, hypothetically, been elevated to a different dimension where the flat surface of things invalidates every one of those beings as materially absurd. And that flat surface wouldn't have any of these creatures even if one walked forever. It would imply that every dimension below this dimension might be what one considers hell. A closed door on a previous dimension that everyone still alive had the grace to outrun. That would imply that the sense of mythology and story would stop with Lucifer and the wisdom of Lucifer is to be materially real and self determining so as to jump and elevate earth dimensions to avoid hell on earth. The ability to hump dimensions is the necessary wisdom to be truly self determining, but all most can do is find innocence in myth. The reason why other so-called "plans" based on fairness or race didn't work is that those plans tried to make a flat plane into something it couldn't be. Planes that were already coherent with themselves. That's why normative meddling based on past pain or empathy or fairness were just logically impossible because each plan assumed the world was what it was. In normative terms every soul tends to be justified and limited by the flat dimension they would currently inhabit, which is why most humans can't do what Lucifer does. But because of Lucifer's natural cornerstone dimension ability, Lucifer is always naturally coherent with every dimension he or she inhabits, making him virtually undetectable to even supernatural beings. Although I identify as Lucifer, that name is more of a title now that signifies that wisdom I just described, rather than a name in and of itself.

    There's a Bible verse that says when two or more come together in God's name then what they ask for will be given. What this to me is related to transdimensional jumping. When two or more people find a perfect ethical singularity of natural alignment then their survival and the universe's survival becomes bound in an unbreakable contract of survival between the universe and those people involved so that survival is 100% guaranteed. It just takes the courage faith and intelligence to find each point.

    I’m confused I thought Dostoevsky was to be put to death but there was a last minute reprieve and was sentenced to hard labor in Siberia instead? I’ve never heard of him being shot by blanks and that being the reason for his epilepsy is that true??

    I recently read in a preface that the Emperor Nikolai I reduced his penalty, but that nonetheless Dostoyevsky and his radical friends were tied to wooden posts, had their heads covered and put in front of a firing squad. But they didn't shoot them. And according to Dostoyevsky, those were the most terrifying 10 minutes of his life. It's not the same as being shot with blanks, but it was enough to scare him half to death.

    Image of Jesus Make of me what you will I can be a Catholic still Or I can be faithful to Judaism too You make the rules 'cause you are the fools A Protestant I can be in this minute Camouflage comes and goes with the finite Dreamland is never far away As glimmers of fantasy lead the way Playtime is over but still you play With the image of Jesus both night and day Someday maybe you will learn To stand in line and take your turn In the present you don't want to be Your desire is bliss for eternity June VanDerMark April 4th 2014

    If there just happens to be a god ... (which I don’t believe is true) … then on judgment day the god will already know that because I didn’t believe he existed … unlike so many of his idolizing followers … I was not able to misquote him. I wonder which penalty the god would judge as being more severe … not believing … or … misquoting while believing?
