If this human existence, grounded so much in physicality, containing so
much pain and misery,
so much lost hope and unfulfilled aspirations,
so much hunger and spirit-destroying poverty,
with all its diseases, mental aberration and degeneracy,
all its noxious vileness and crappiness,
if all this is our one shot, as some contend,
to some sort of joy, appeasement and happiness,
then cursed by its own evil could the creator
of it all be, repeatedly, and most assuredly!

Even for me to be able to conceive of greater Joy
to displace all this ubiquitous misery,
all the lovelessness and suffering we see,
tends to make me think that "he" or "she",
whatever it may be, who set this up, did so furtively,
and thus, from such imperfection gains maliciously.

What else would explain so much depravity?
If for one moment I were to wholly think that the
Highest Mind could think of nothing better than this Darkness and
exploitativeness everywhere we see,
existentially no longer would I wish to be,
for I could not share more time than is necessary
with a mind that creates so rancidly, so evilly.

But wait! In the very thought that I can think of
something better, there is the possibility
that all that we see is not the sum total of reality.
If I, a lowly human mind, can think of greater
things than are here created, of a happiness more
substantial than this sordidness and misery,
then the author, of this plane, Supreme cannot be,
for it would mean I, a lesser being, would be
capable of surpassing its concept of happiness easily.

I know I cannot, with all my limitations, with all my imperfections, a
Supreme Mind or creator be.
Hence, I must conclude that the thought itself is from
a Greater Reality, and has been implanted in me,
and that the Source from which it came must be
from beyond this Darkness and this Depravity.

Thus, by reason alone I arrive at the conclusion
that a Greater Reality must exist, for I see the
limitations of this so-called `reality'
in which we live, which is now easily seen in all probability,
to be but a distorting, temporary, Virtual Reality.

And if this be the case, I need no further
nurture thoughts of a Nihilistic tendency.
I can pursue thoughts of a time of Happiness in
some other Greater, more loving, painless, Reality.

That thought itself makes the sufferance of all
this ungodliness, all this lovelessness and exploitative depravity just that
little bit easier to understand, while I
await the end of it, as such end, thoughts of a Greater
and Lasting Happiness, stir in me.

And if by chance there is nothing,
nothing at all, to all this really,
nothing beyond my mental excursions,
and I am merely fooling myself with thoughts
of Higher, less-evil Minds, and of Happiness
in some Greater Reality,
well, that's OK, for in the exercise
of entertaining these very concepts
I am able to live just a little more happily;
with such thoughts, even in this hell,
live I, it seems, more contentedly.

POINT TO PONDER

Our lack of understanding of a Higher Existence, and our Ignorance of
Spiritual matters, coupled with the obfuscating nonsense called "truth" of
this Virtual Reality, can taunt our spirits so much that we turn away from
snippets of Truth when they are offered, and self-destructively defend
our egos which breed on that Ignorance to the point of our spiritual demise.

Such is the nature of the Lower Mind, created by the Arch Demon of
Evil, Jehovah, wherein Doubt, Confusion and Ignorance can destroy the
platform for the Essence of Goodness within.

Are these three, Doubt, Confusion and Ignorance,
not then, in reality, daughters of Malice,
whose role is to enhance, and guard,
the Darkness of Evil?
