states of being

If absolute power corrupts absolutely,
then I know the real nature of God.

The Devil is God, only fallen. Corrupted.
This shows how God has no power.

Perhaps herein lies the secret of his inviolable status.
If power corrupts, then by definition the one who would be God
must abandon all power.

Perhaps in so doing, He achieves Mastery.
While those who seek power, must Fall.

By letting go, God achieves becoming one with the universe.

We are given a choice.
We, too, may let go, and become one with him.
The ultimate surrender.

Therefore, god and the devil are not seperate beings, rather,
they are seperate states of being: the states of the heavenly
(or divine) and that of the hellish (or damned).

To be damned is to have been sent on a path
from which there is no recourse.
The pursuit of power, or riches (merely power in another guise)
is just such a course.

This is why it says Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here
upon the gates of hell.

making level

Can you picture how difficult it is
to try and convince them of the truth -?
Of course you can. I was put here not to refute
the word of God -- but as a free independent thinker
to try and prove to them on their own terms that He exists.

In order to do this (and you know how mysteriously He works)
He made it necessary for me to have my own mind.
Only in this way could I stand a chance against them.
One price to pay is my own brethren may think me judas.

I am the trick joker. The out-smoker.
From their caves I'll draw them up.
I am His son, just like everyone.
Only I believe it.

I'm the post hypnotic magi.
The self corrective mirror.
A quintessential tragedy.
In laughter disappearing.

To the white eye missing
I am the black button.
When I am gone there
will be your proof.

Stories

I believe in stories.
I'll be leaving stories.

What stories will be leaving you?

Hello

Since I believe in the truth
and the truth cannot be known
I know that I believe in what
I cannot.


What do you know?

belief

I believe in a lot of things.

I believe a lot of things can be one thing.
I could even believe that everything was one thing.
And when balanced against this contrast,
I could believe in nothing, when I chose to.

What I'm not quite prepared to do
yet is declare your belief my air.
I believe in seperate perspectives.
I believe in valuing the picture

they complete. I believe you can lead
a friend but cannot make them eat.
I believe everyone feeds.
Only by letting go are we free.

What Do I Believe In?

My answer would be belief
and the abstinence thereof,
calculatedly balanced.

The more you get a sense for it*
is by having been allowed exposure to it -
How much can they know - brought up on that pap?
They must've concluded they were not authorized to sense.
To exist. To really even be in the first place.

How much you can believe what your eyes see
flashing before you on the TV depends
entirely on how much you believed in
everything else they ever told you.
