INTRODUCTION ; TIME is ALIVE; the ETERNALIST Bible by Dennis C. Lee.

     INTRODUCTION.

          What if I told you the future of WORLD RELIGIONS is not to be in churches or temples but in Home Gatherings? What if I said they would not be propagated by a televangelist or internet influencer but by friends in real, one-on-one, hug to hug people helping each other search for answers.
Do you find that interesting?  You will be in one, perhaps even sponsor one. When? I don't KNOW when, except to say sometime in the future. How do I know it? Because I've MEDITATED on ETERNITY. 
          Which means I've had the deep feeling from the understanding and how many things are not just LIKELY to happen, they are also destined, by TIME, to happen. Because, given enough TIME (and ETERNITY has it ALL), ALL THINGS DO HAPPEN.

But,

        Using language is a commitment. Ten AM til noon are your best hours. The world seems clear and easy and you go about it charmingly, well, mostly. You talk. You communicate with others. Your mind feels good. You've forgotten that you were recently depressed. 
          Don't worry, it's not frightful, it's astonishing. Nobody is reading this except you. Which means everyone who reads it believes it says something different. We never truly communicate with words, We just spread common sense and folklore. It takes a COMMITMENT to LANGUAGE to get a sincerely deep message across. Go DEEP. 

          This book is an invitation to a broader intellect, both for yourself and those you know, especially of the artist community in your area. As you read, I beg your indulgence. The writing of this book took nearly two years, and much of it was written as I established Eternalism, in my personal vision, with small gatherings of people as we partied and talked and sang and drank and laughed. This was the BIRTH of ETERNALISM. 
       Hopefully it will be its first birth, meaning that it might not bloom, blossum and be a BEAUTIUFUL sunflower.

 

GNOSTECH's relationship to Eternalism.

 IPPA, the movies you create have a large audience globally, yet you have no English subtitles from the Japanese scripts. Gnostech can help, if your goal is to expand your viewership. 

Visions From Visionaries

 My mind goes through stages throughout the day, as well as in the hypnogogic states, shortly before and after waking up. Often as I fall asleep, I see things in front of my closed yes. Are they caused by light reflections on my eyelids? But it's a dark bedroom, with only one dimly lit lava lamp. The light I see, I'm certain, comes somewhere from within. And the light illuminates scenes, sometimes.

Creative Meditations on Eternity.

 WHERE WERE WE?

from 'Time Is Alive; the Eternalist Bible'.

I totally accept that Eternalism will not be accepted as a valid alternative religion until after my death. I just need to know that it's got a foothold, and that it stands a chance.

I can't get too much into the 'Make Mexico A State' debate, except to make this meme. Free for anyone that wants it. You saw it here first.

Babyman and Civil War Two (CW2)

The majority of American Christians believe that Babyman (Trump) is one of them. And they're probably right. Babyman, like all evangelicals, lives the cozy life of the self-centered, comfortable in the uniquely American doctrine that tells them they need not give to the poor to live a bliss-filled afterlife, and that they need only believe in that the virgin-birthed son of their God existed. Actual reading of the words of Jesus is not required, but if they actually do read his words, they are free to ignore them and still get the all the heavenly benefits.

Meanwhile, more and more independent thinkers are becoming atheists. Small wonder. As more actual knowledge becomes available, the mythical tales that pose as reality they find the ground is firmer with science and common sense. Yet I found they still struggle with the larger picture - what of the future?

If the future is to have a religion at all, it will have to be more accountable to ALL people, not just those with a passion for genuflection.

Just how did major religions once rule the world? One word; Trance. 

By which I should add, 'MULTI-TRANCES'. They started by creating churches and temples, places where people could go and worship. They then taught people TRANCE RITUALS.

ETERNALISM will do this as well. It's important that Eternalism be a COMMUNITY BASED philosophy and possibly religious gathering place. A Ceremony Of Art, music and visuals, performers and very much audience participation are the GLUE that will hold OUR PATHES together and establish documents of the proof of our existence. This is VITAL.

TRANCE MASTERS are the BEST.

Dedicate yourself to Eternity and surprising things will begin to happen. Your mind, as it EXPANDS, sees the dichotomies, the paradoxes, the unanswered questions about LIFE that come to us whenever we gain KNOWLEDGE. For every question answered there should immediately be dozens of questions questioning that answer. This is the true PATH of knowledge. It's the TAO, get used to it.

Coming To The Positive Conclusion When Meditating On Eternity.

 
I've said before that meditating on Eternity will make one a better human being. That has not changed. It's still my conclusion based on my own research and experiences. AND this is NOT a denial of that conclusion, it is an expansion in order to compensate the philosophies of Nihilism, Satanism and too often, atheism. 

ETERNITY MEDITATIONS will NOT turn you into a WORSE human being, yet your moral code, such as it is, MAY stagnate, for whatever personal reasons. If anyone ever uses this in a court of law, as an excuse for behavior that damages other humans for whatever reasons, they first of all will have done it wrong, OR they haven't meditated at all and are lying about it as their excuse for bad and damaging behavior.

So, what happens when one meditates on Eternity? In a word, "opens". In another word, "broadens". And in yet another word, "exhilarates". 

And that last one, exhilaration, can and probably WILL touch all bases within you.  Love, Bliss, Happiness, Beauty, Peace and Passion, to name but a few of the positive sensations you might experience. These lead easily to being more generous, more caring, and more grateful to LIFE ITSELF. And that, my beautiful friends, will make us all better human beings.

For your wall only;

I'm back. A harrowing two weeks as far as production of the book is concerned.

I use almost everything now deemed technologically ancient. In the early 70's after I'd just got out of art school, and a company that had just hired me spent $300 training me to typeset on the state-of-the-art electric typewriter, the IBM Selectrix Composer. 

I tell you this because my abilities with high tech stuff have never gotten much better. A couple weeks ago, while formatting parts of the book (Time Is Alive; the First Book of the Eternalist Bible), my monitor went kaputski.
