The DIVINE TYRANY of BEAUTY. A parable.

A parable. 

I don't believe in fiction. That is, that it doesn't exist. 

One of my Mentors, the Metaphysician Russell Thomas, often said, "Thoughts are things."

In my song 'Broken Dolls', I wrote one verse,
"She may be near, she may be far, boys.
She may surrender to the MOVEMENTS of the stars, boys."
I sometimes would sing, "She may surrender to the MUSIC of the stars, boys."
Both words are correct and can be used as desired. I was thinking of SPACE (movement)
and TIME (music). DEATH is the 'surrender' to Space and Time.

The theme of the song is Beauty.







I've always been a fan of beauty, probably always will be. There is so much of it in the world right now it's a pity how it never lasts for long. I'm talking about true beauty, not just personal taste. We all know it when we see it, but we don't always acknowledge it to others. Social graces. Sometimes I'm in favor of them.



I'll say it again.

The IMPORTANCE of ENTROPY

 Eternalists have the same fears, anxieties and discomforts as everyone else. It's the price of conscious existence. It's the price of being an eternal researcher, an eternal scientist. Once you're locked in, your work is waiting.
But some things are easy.



As an Eternalist, the first thing that you will have to learn is how to comfort yourself from the angst felt when thinking of the inevitability of death.

Entropy is a part of nature, so it's not death and it's not an abyss. 

The funny thing about what I write to you is that the moment after you think about it. You doubt it first, then . . .  , here we are.
