Faith Fueled through Forgetting and Waffles

Love your waitress because happiness is in forgiving and forgetting
—She'll forget. So, be prepared to forgive—

May it be that forgetfulness is the secret of the stars? If it is, and you find that secret to life and existence in a waffle house book, you are most definitely not the kind of person who will remember that said secret, then furthermore, apply it, and even if you happen to break free of that stereotype, then would you not be simply, in-turn, violating the greatest secret of the stars themselves anyhow?
Since we have discovered that the religious man benefits more from his sacrifices by maintaining a positively active and healthy state of mind, let us assume that our God, which we endeavor to be alike to,—indeed are even said to be made in the image of—also would benefit from a positive outlook on any negative situation he found himself in as well.
Could our once and forever solitary—existing only in the void—God, momentarily aware of his exquisite loneliness in a state of unity, have discovered that by simply busying his mind with stories he could forget about his nonphysical existence and essentially place that forgotten fact on a shelf to one day be discovered again through death? If so, would it not be the ultimate goal of such a lonely god to eternally be free of this fact of nonexistence through the trick of the mental disillusion? Furthermore, would a god, who’d forgotten his solitude and immortal nonexistence which had mistakenly found himself jailed or maimed in his illusion—which had become so real—, only find escape through remembering his initial conclusion of nonexistence, and retroactively feel reluctance in shelving all of his stories in exchange for a clean slate?
Another question to pose is: Would a god who’d discovered his power to manifest this forgetfulness through losing the mind in his internal dialogues begin having trouble doing so when the secret had been revealed? And finally, would that fear, manifest through trouble, not threaten forever being stuck in one state of physicality or the other of non; possibly keeping the god from ever merging the two aspects of his own creator-self and his creation?

As The Waffle Burns
10th Anniversary Edition
By: Jay Mathis Horne
Forgetting is the greatest trick in the universe. Memories are changed every time we recall them. A memory that has been reminisced over 60 times in sixty years will be more corrupt than a memory that is 60 years old and recalled only a single time on the 60th year. Our happiest moments are the times that we are furthest from our sourest memories, and butter pecan ice cream tastes sweetest when we've forgotten its flavor entirely.
Thoughts. The only things faster than light. Contemplation. The only form of energy whose transformation is not understood. Distraction. The only things that keeps our thoughts from contemplating our eventual and inevitable demise. Together they free us from the fear of death—could those three gifts not potentially have saved our creator from suffering his eternal loneliness?
Potential.
The only word in the human language that contains infinite possibility within its own utterance; the only energy that could ever have started the whole  experieince.
We all know energy can neither be created or destroyed, it can only change form. But the potential is in you.

A Symbiosis with God

The very first living organisms, bacteria, fungi, and alga had to marry in order to survive… We will have to do the same with God if we want to live beyond death. Edited Pic via Pixabay | Copyright 2021 by Bookflurry Inc. I recently had the pleasure of reading Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake . Merlin is a biologist, following in the footsteps of his father, who has spent countless hours studying the relationships between plants and mycorrhizal networks (fungal and root systems that spread out beneath our feet). These networks show traits of conscious action. Communications between fungus and plant is imperative in deciding which organisms will benefit from, or make a more fair trade, when it comes to nutrients such as sugar, carbon, sunlight, and water. What, you didn’t think soil was just dirt did you? Over ninety percent of soil is biological organisms. Fungi making connections with other microscopic lifeforms in order to live and spread. Conscious choices are being mad...

Confederate Statues Fall

Across the country, statues commemorating the lives of Confederate soldiers are being struck down and stored away until the firestorm of anti-racism cools. Should anti-racism cool? That is the real question. Anti-racism is a thing, and that is because racism is and once was a thing. Jeff Greenberg Universal Images Group Editorial/UIG via Getty Images In 1861 portions of the country (that is to say, groups of people) began declaring themselves apart from the United States in hopes of forming a Confederate States of America. It was assumed among the groups, that if enough followers would back them and join together, slavery would not be abolished. The United States was fighting to defend the constitution, in the mean time. Some were hoping to keep slavery in place, whether it may have been for reasons of business, quality of life, or fear of conflict at their homesteads. Head-of-homestead owners, could simply have wanted the credit for freeing their own slaves. After years of ha...

Your Day Starts at the End

Look Onward to Your Epitaph Photo by John Cobb on  Unsplash What are words? Very few words make any sense without a word or two surrounding them; a punctuation mark. A picture is worth a thousand of these words because only the people in them can sum up the experience in a few. Take that same photograph and place before it any number of different circumstances and the reality of that moment changes instantly. Ever been talking to someone and been cut-off right before you make yourself perfectly clear? Sometimes, a tiny pause is enough to let a listener jump to conclusions. A paragraph is so much more complete than a sentence. A sentence more complete than a clause. A clause more complete than a word. A word more complete than a syllable and a syllable more so than a letter. An epitaph is most complete of all. A life fully realized. In physics, they call the observation of the smallest physical things, the collapse of the wave function. Because once you break down atoms i...
