europeans, beginning with the german philosophers of the 19th century,
and ending with english hippies of the 1960s (the beatles, namely),
seem to have adopted this, almost ancient fascination with eastern religiosity,
what originally undermined western "values": if there were any.
now, i can buy into all this "crap", i can see how the shackles fall off,
and the vatican is released into the wild, like a nebuchadnezzar...
and how this constant fight with the vatican by the protestants,
made us all wear black... rather than, something from
the united colours of benetton... oh ****, what a memory...
i was at the knightsbirdge branch once...
picked up a blazer... on sale, probably reduced to 20 quid...
what colour was it? **** knows! too many shades...
i could list them... a mix of: mustard, orange, cinnamon,
whiskey, amber, mahogany...
let's just say: it went well with dark brown trousers...
jeans? would i ever wear them? what am i? a ******* cowboy?
jeans is the most abhorring export out of: the u.s. of a.
those trousers are rigid as ****... the best way to actually
wear them, are like converse sneakers, don't wash them...
so they, finally(!) feel soft - and not like some iron-man
suit.
what's with this cult of frying testicles?
anyway... hinduism, and the corner stone of the religion...
reincarnation... maybe i'm thinking about this concept in the wrong
way... but would the concept suggest that: there are, and there were,
and there will be, only an finite amount of people?
i.e. that there were only a finite amount of people
to begin with, the so called originals?
so who are all the other people? the deplorables, the dispoable
bio-mass? fertiliser?
e.g. as a child i was asked, which was more -
it was during the undermining of communism in poland,
and capitalist powers began a project to inflate the polish currency...
like in germany after the 1st world war...
i was shown two hands... one with a banknote,
the other with coins...
what was written on the banknote?
probably something akin to 1, and 0000000000.
i was asked, which is more? the coins, or the banknote?
i said: the coins: there are more of them.
why would i say that? well... basic arithmetic:
there were about 9 coins in the hand... but the banknote?
there was only one... even though the state value written on it
was probably worth a fake billion.
toilet paper anyone?
so yeah... i'm suspicious about the concept of reincarnation...
let's speed up to a modern comparison:
it's all too much like the case of en sabah nur (x-men apocalypse);
i really can't believe there were only a finite number of
people to begin with... but then again... that sort of thinking
would posit the infinite number of gods... no wonder hinduism
is a polytheism... a finite number of people to begin with...
and then the infinite number of gods. what, a, load, of, *******!
