The two hour post - mind streams of an Eternalist. Dec. 10, 2017


What's important is the sameness of things, not the differences. Without establishing what is 'the same', there could be no difference.


I am currently writing nine books at once, each a separate volume on aspects of Eternalism. Put together, they may be considered an Eternalist 'Bible', but its significance will vary from person to person. That doesn't matter. What is more important is that it will exist.


Politics and social changes are embedded in nature. For the most part what will happen in the future  can be calculated, and for the most part these types of changes are unimportant. What is important is the struggle for knowledge of the soul. And what is the soul?





Be as good as you know good to be. What does that mean to YOU?


I keep meeting Christians who are very dedicated to their religious beliefs as their imagination dictates it. I understand and empathize with how very difficult it is to separate sections of the mind that hold some things to be true that in reality are not.

This is the common delusion that Eternalists are struggling to bring awareness to in the modern world controlled, at least religiously, by the two major theist religions; Islam and Christianity. Kept at war with each other since their beginnings, these two mindsets, (which are given to us through basically the same ancient texts) have managed to dominate countries and cultures by incorporating headquarters in the guise of temples and churches, in every community that they can.

It is NOT the fault of the believer! They have been victims of deception.


Thank you for your time and your consideration. 

My name is Dennis C. Lee, 
and I am your Eternalist.

Who we are.

Eternity-minded people are most likely to perceive ALL religions (including Eternalism as an organization) as temporary, and as one of the creative novelties of our species.

The Moral Alternative; Beyond Theism, Deism, Agnosticism and Atheism.

Eternalism is an acceptance of eternity as a true and tactile reality. Beyond that, it is about choices as to how to conduct oneself through the pathway of human life. The nature of the Eternalist mind is therefore one of expansion and inclusion; the engine of knowledge. To seek knowledge is therefore to live as an Eternalist. 'Finding' knowledge, therefore becomes less important than seeking it. Considering kindness as a path toward knowledge is therefore a MORE MORAL stance than not.

This topic is to be continued, and I understand it raises many questions. PLEASE ARGUE if you disagree.

Eternalist Thoughts on Culture by Iain M. Banks (link)

Written in the 90's, a bit stoner, it predates Modern Eternalism but much of it applies nonetheless.

Thel Loi

     We have a bright new convert to Eternalism in Thel Loi, a college student studying to be a school teacher in the Philippines. She has a lot of brilliant eternalist observations that I felt were quotable enough to create my favorite one in a meme,

More on ACTUAL Reincarnation

     Our biggest problem is memory; how to transport it from one living entity to another. Once mastered, it will be the ultimate definition of 'transference', as well as a viable path to personal immortality.

    Let's try to solve some of the problems about that. First of all, what mental change do we all, as a species, go through once this is a reality? There could come a time when conscious transference will be something that everyone can afford, and almost everybody will want (there would be those who will prefer death, for a variety of personal reasons).

     My proposal is to create an Eternalist Research Center, whose sense of science will be in the direction of reincarnation studies. A gathering of knowledge. Past. And ongoing.

Death and the Multiverse.

You died.

Your body dissembled. But 'you' 'saw' a way to continue, a way you've traveled before, before your father and mother created you from deep, unconscious passion.

You go somewhere else, somewhere unbelievable from here, another universe lodged between what is sensated here. You are born again into the terms of that reality.

You live and die again. Perhaps you bring back knowledge from that universe. Could you do that? Could you try? It would be most helpful.

The Next Phase

Calling out - in your heart you want to, perhaps you've always wanted to have a place to go to feel DEEPLY yourself. Safe, secure, happy. With your tribe.

To meditate. To socialize. To share food with others and they with you.

How does one go about creating a grand work of art such as only a temple can be? What will your temple be like?

Society and Sexuality and the unconscious rules they apply in our minds. Part One

From 'Sex And Eternalism' by Dennis C. Lee.                                                                  ⓒ2017


Our sexuality, our libido, is the yin to the yang of our social nature. We have plenty of examples of what happens when either of those sides of our nature overly dominates the other; chaos on both ends. How then do we balance ourselves to survive?

       We use our heads for the purpose it was made; to gather knowledge. The Eternalist not only looks but also uses EXPERIENTIAL knowledge, that is, knowledge gathered in a real, tactile way, as in having sex with others (masturbation might also be a way of gathering tactile knowledge, however it is more of a limited source, a closed circuit, so to speak) . It is not only the tactile experience that is valuable, it is the EMPHATIC value - the sense of feeling what your partner feels, getting into her or his skin by means of imagination and,... something else. What the 'something else' is will be a subject for a future blog, at the moment our issue is natural balance.

       Sex is strong because it is beyond opinion. Knowledge is that which cannot be divided by an equal and opposite opinion. It is TACTILE in that when we feel it, our mental capacities are diminished temporarily in order to maximize our attention toward FEELING. It wouldn't entirely be true to say orgasms shut down all thought processes, but they obviously weaken them, temporarily. This is NOT to say SEX makes us stupid, quite the contrary, we bounced back having caught the gem we sought with greater insight and advanced perspectives. Sex is good, when balanced. Many excuses can be made for where our minds roam as we're headed towards culmination - all of them valid, I'm sure. Even and perhaps especially with a partner we're not totally in the 'here' and 'now' until the climax, where the real knowledge is. Sex is good because it is important, and not only because it produces children. In fact, on a human-centric planet, overpopulation can deliver a death blow if it's not put in check.

        With society, as with sex, our minds will play tricks with the differences between reality and illusion. How to tell the difference is not a simple thing, it’s like asking a mirror to look at its own reflection. Sacrifices will always have to be made in order to have a rich and full sex life, and they all have to do with the concessions we must make to society, for the wellbeing and survival of our species. I say this not to frighten, order or restrict your life, but to prepare you for the future. To an Eternalist, the FUTURE is the only INEVITABILITY.

I am sending out the opportunity...

     ...for you to believe with all your HEART again, like a child. Eternalism is not a mere semantics game, it is a human attempt to find real (tactile, true, viable, verifiable, factual, physical) knowledge.

        Perhaps you've been duped in the past. I was. Supernatural superstitions paraded before me as churchgoers bent their knees toward a wooden alter, transformed by their imaginations into a relic of an epic feeling, a bliss they seek to attain, from the promise of their parents, usually. And usually at a very young, vulnerable and trusting age, at an age when the questions are as important as the answers.

         Ours is a symbol also. A symbol like a string on a finger meant to remind us - we have an appointment, perhaps we are reminded to do something, SAY something. Use these magic symbols as LANGUAGE. Your lover will fall for you not just for the way you look but also for what you SAY. Words are our paints, our colors, our finished canvas will be our statement.

          Let's make our canvases have the greatest statement of ALL; the TRUTH.

          Easier said than done? Often, yes. But let's look at WHY that is - why does an imagined thing often take precedence over something made of true information? Consider this; if you've read this far, you've been given a special inquisitive mind. That can't be a bad thing.

           Let's go on an adventure.

Tempus, Empathy, the Search for Knowledge, and Sex.

       Since I’ve become an Eternalist, it’s been about three years now, the empathy-transference-channeling level is particularly strong. I feel others more strongly, I feel situations I’m in more clearly. Things change after you become an Eternalist. You get to feel all the other worlds, because you are open to them. You will find your mind easily shifting, quickly at your will to understand the reasons for the nuances of manners, speech and movement. Knowledge comes from others, though they may not be aware of it. The reasons we are happy, the reasons we are sad or upset – discovering and then knowing this; this is true knowledge.


     In some ways becoming an Eternalist is like taking on the instincts of youth, no matter what age you are at. If you are a youth, you might at first be oblivious to your heightened awareness and instinctual abilities, since they are generally with you, quite intensely, every day, at all times. The difference is the conscious seeking of knowledge is not likely to be with you – the amount of chaos in your mind is likely to be higher than people older than you. This is not to say that any particular age is easier or harder to live through. It depends much on the willingness to gather knowledge. This is where Eternalists have an edge. Unhappiness is caused by the inability and failure to seek knowledge.

Eternalism; Too Simple Or Too Complex?

    These two directions are the reasons many reject Eternalism at first glance.

    I can easily say, Eternalism is SIMPLY the understanding that eternity exists and that time has a consciousness.

     Or we could say, some Eternalists believe that time is God, and call it Tempus, while other Eternalists can reject the idea of time as God while still acknowledging that consciousness exists, and that consciousness needs time to exist. And that Eternalism is dedicated to the gathering of knowledge, and that individual Eternalists can take that in as many directions as they possibly can, which will begin the great adventures of their lives. And so on,...

     Soon, all Eternalists will need to gather together and unite with one human vision, not just of survival, but of evolutionary expansion.

3 NEW ART - 1 REMIX




People may say this is premature - even by my estimation people who call themselves Eternalists number less that 1% of the world population. But I challenge anyone to name one other new religion with our growth rate. But what are the other new religions? A better question - why are there so few new religions?

TJ Miller on Eternalism

     It's not unusual for someone with basic Eternalist philosophical ideas to not know they are, by religious definition, Eternalists. I'm not sure mr. Miller gives himself this definition or not.

More ruminations.

I see Eternalism as a type of commodity, in that it is a necessary mindset for a healthy mind, much like Fish oil or vitamin E. Let's just call Eternalism the 'other' vitamin E.

Not that the religion itself can be corrupted by money, though yes, it CAN. But checks and balances of social responsibility must apply. Alzheimer and autistic treatments may also include a call on Eternalist thought, for a natural expansion of the brains capabilities.


I had a kind of deal started to buy a mansion. It doesn't look too promising now and it's really kicking in as a growth experience. Positive, of course. All new knowledge is positive - there's no reason to be afraid of it. Knowing is strength, ignorance is weakness. Choose knowledge, always.
Just be careful. Whatever you do goes around the world...................

The Many Pathways of Memory - From; Book Eight, Sex And Eternalism.

Past lives, Future Lives and Sex

     Looking at our evolution history we can see how we learned from each other in increments; Language spoken, then written, printing press, telephone, television, cell phones and internet, and that's just the information-sharing aspect of it, we can also look at transportation and industry. Developments were in increments, step by step. So too, though somewhat slower,has been the evolution of our understanding of our biology and beyond that, the mysteries of life. What exactly does time and nature do to us, and why?

     Reincarnation learning will also be step by step, and because of the absence valid proof of past life memory, probably slower. Eternalism has been on the front lines of this inquiry, and will continue to explore and gather knowledge until,... well, throughout eternity. That's who we are and what we do. There will be speculation, and hopefully at some point there may be hard evidence, but ONE THING I promise you - I will define the difference in each situation as I know it to be true.

     We can use help. If you are interested in breaking through the barriers between lifeforms, join and assist us in research. Or do your own research and stay in touch. There's never been a moment like this before.

Eternalist Poster Art; A form dedicated in words and image to the Eternalist Principles of knowledge and inner peace.



What happens in life, in the motion of life? Things dissolve one into another. Things, people come and go. Sometimes by choice, sometimes from an outside choice, choices of the natural world. We live in an unnatural world, by comparison. Our struggle, through our history, has been to control the natural world and to change it to suit our wants and needs. But we need to be aware of the natural world's limits, and our own, or we could destroy each other. What then?

Eternalism is about to be your first true quest; the quest for true knowledge. Because you've wanted and needed direction. It's easy to dismiss, harder to try to understand it, at least at first, but Eternalism is as simple, or as complex, as time itself.

Create your own art that tells of your personal struggles to see life more clearly. Many artists have had great visions and have shared them. Often, the art wasn't the struggle, the sharing was.

You'll create it, if it takes your lifetime. Then you'll go and share it. This is the moment you affirm that. Deeply. Purely.

On Beauty.

I have said, in context to Eternalism, that "Beauty is the face of Time."

What do I mean? It sounds at first objective, we have standards we mostly accept, like 'beauty is only skin deep', 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', or we think of 'faded beauty' or 'everlasting beauty'. What of that last one - everlasting? What keeps us going? Everlasting is a holy, spiritual standard. But is it merely imaginary?

Perhaps,... not everyone can be beautiful, in the sense of attractive to the eye. The other senses, especially the emotional one that we attribute to the heart is the sense in which we all have the potential to be beautiful.

In my experience, I have witnessed that anyone who appreciates beauty can create beauty, both in art and in and of themselves.

A formula for understanding the process is in this diagram showing a trinity of Life, Time and Space. Each controls the other two equally, yet the true power of creativity comes from understanding them as one, united. Beauty evolves from this, and all of your feelings, your emotions and your senses, originate from this. I call this Tempus, the Latin word for Time. Though in this case, Time as Tempus is united with the consciousness of Life, and the dynamic of motion enabled by Space.
