ALL IS LIFE WITHOUT DEATH
EXCEPT WHAT MUST DIE
IN ORDER TO
INCREASE EVERSHINING’S TRANSPARENCY
∞
THE ABSOLUTE FOLLY OF LIFE-SNUFFING THOUGHTS
IS REPEATEDLY UNDERSTOOD
< 
THIS TOO SHALL PASS
SO LONG AS NO AWARENESS KEEPS SUCH DECEIT ALIVE

All quotes today are from BALTHAZAR website.
Here is his "Vision" Statement:


Welcome, O life!
 I go to encounter for the millionth time
​the reality of experience 
and to forge in the smithy of my soul 
the uncreated conscience of my race.
Balthazar

You will consume many liquids before you discover the waters of life.
You will taste many flavors before you learn to recognize the one taste.
You will imbibe many false substances
before you learn
​the secret of making the Elixir of Life

Seek not to quench thy thirst,
but to drown oneself in it.
Walk the plank and be lost at sea.
Become the longing…
and by and by the longing becomes you.

And when I reached the market place,
a youth standing on a house-top cried,
“He is a madman.”
I looked up to behold him;
the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time.

 For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face
and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun,
and I wanted my masks no more. 
And as if in a trance I cried,
​“Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.”
Thus I became a madman.
– Khalil Gibran
Quoted here:
https://artofwonder.org/2018/01/04/the-madman/

In an insane world you must be mad to be sane.
In an upside down world true sanity appears as strange and dangerous.
Things are so backwards that it seems impossible to be happy,
that it is seen as dangerous to love,
that it is seen as madness to be honest and authentic.
In this absurd world the only thing that makes any sense
is to be radically authentic to ones self –
​even if it is the opposite of society
Excerpt from:

MUCH MORE WORTH THE SATURATION ON THIS LINK

God is Dead, and we have murdered him
Man has become Godless
And this is good, because after passing through belief in God, and then disbelief in God or godlessness….
We can then mature beyond God and discover godliness.
We can grow beyond religion and live in religousness
Godliness is to exist in the fragrance of divinity.
It is not to believe or disbelieve in God,
but to be living in the presence of god.
For each Man and Woman to be a God or Goddess.
Nietzsche said
“God is dead, and now Man is free”
Man is free
When will he seize his glory?

​Remaining Sunrise photos from 12/25/14

You don’t have to be a robot to be an “artificial intelligence”.
You are if you are mechanical,
if you have no creativity,
if you have no soul and are merely the product
of the sum total of external stimuli.
Do not worry about humanities future
with robots and the dangers of A.I. ​

​Look and see if you aren’t already artificial and superficially intelligent,
if you aren’t already a machine with no freedom,
no responsibility, and no authentic intelligence.​

Is there anything original of you?
Are you free? Are you awake?
Are you master of thyself?
Are you?  And are you, you?
Or are you a robot!?
Balthazar
Excerpt from:
https://artofwonder.org/2016/12/13/artificial-intelligence/

Logic and sermons never convince,
The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman. 
Song of Myself
https://artofwonder.org/2013/06/28/dark-was-the-night-cold-was-the-ground/

The secret is perpetually unveiling itself to you.
The secret is everywhere
being whispered in your ear
and hidden in plain sight.​

Right in front of you, everywhere you look,
as the looking and the looker itself!
Come close to me and I will whisper to you in confidence.
I promise, I only tell this to those I love…

(The great secret is that there is no secret
That every ordinary thing is extraordinary,
that every stone is a diamond and every soul a star)
Only you must promise me one thing…….

....To tell no-one,
Yet reveal it to everyone!
Balthazar

The terrorism of the self-referential way is over.
Suddenly, there isn't any difference between
Eternity and right now.
