Zombie Apocalypse

People are
becoming zombies in the face of their death, their own
upcoming suffering, not to mention the death of all life on this
planet.

Do an internet search on apocalypse and note how little, if
anything, is posted about the urgency or emergency of our current
situation.

It comes across as a big party on a South Pacific Island in a
hotel that everyone there knows will not survive the incoming tsunami
or killer hurricane.




This is the most disturbing of any evidence I've seen supporting The
Will to Die.
[Footnote 1]


EnRaptured Reaction.
Except that of what I'm hearing is a kind of euphoria and longing
for the end of it all in evangelical groups who think of it as the
Rapture--a kind of being freed from what is seen as an onerous
Earth existence and the reward of the true life one thinks one deserves
of ease, love, and happiness in heaven.


Now, is that not the most extreme form of reaction formation you have
ever heard? These folks have developed an elaborate, comforting fantasy to escape the facts of their lives.


These "enraptured" people are the same ones who admit

/claim they were the good little God- (parent-) fearing children who
slavishly fawned upon the unreal wishes

of their authoritarian
parents--parents who themselves were real religious nutjob psychotics whose lived world was an
imaginary one of hellishness and a stern bearded father god who makes
you say, even think, that he is loving--despite being the most
horrendously mean and more than murderous mythical figure ever
concocted. [Footnote 2]

George Carlin "Religion Is Bullshit" audio


Gotta Love 'em, He's the...Monster!  For this father "god" will not just punish by ending one's life but will
punish you in what has to be the most extreme kind of punishment ever to be
imagined--being forced to live forever but every moment of it being in
extreme pain and suffering. And these folks have to somehow twist their brains into thinking this "god," this monster, is
actually loving rather than the obvious. The parents bought that
horrific view of the ultimate reality of it all; then their kids
slavishly followed them in this insanity. Is it any wonder then that
their wish is to be dead!?

SillyMickel Adzema - "Breaking News: Hell Doesn't Exist;

God Is Really,
Really Good!!!" audio

So the reaction formation is that of creating the kind of life
where, unlike their own childhood, they would be loved, cherished,
seen, made to feel special, and so on. Most of all to be freed from the
fear of punishment of the most extreme form imaginable.



Leave it to humans to be so cut off from the reality of a
loving God as to wish to be dead instead. For they have managed, with their
imagination running loose and totally without even one lifeline to
anything loving or nice--either in their own life's experiences or in
the mythology of reality they've been forced to accept--to come up
with the most unimaginably horrible view of their lives, and its
prospects.



But They'll Give You "Breathing Holes"!   One last reversal of reality--what Freud called reaction formation--is that--getting "breathing holes" this way, "thinking they are happy"--they call
themselves "saved" and think it is their duty to go out and "save"
everyone else in the world. 


[Footnote 4, for the lyrics]

For, in the view of enraptured folks, others are suffering and
miserable. Interestingly, this is similar to the way they view the "animal" world, the World of
Nature. [Footnote 5] 



Also, others needing to be "saved" like them insinuates that their
happiness--the state of being of the "enraptured"--is eminently superior to the experienced lives of all others.



The media enables these psychotics.
Now, isn't it about time we stopped giving in to their
pestering and stopped adding media credibility to their huge denial
systems? At any rate, we have here reaction formation and then reinforcement of it by the media. [Footnote 6] 



So these sad proselytists know deep inside
how miserable they are. But they find a way to stave off the
realization of that reality and of its horrible roots in their
suffering in childhood, through denying their unhappiness. They take up arms against their misery and engage in endless battle trying
desperately to believe (and unfortunately for us, assert) that the opposite is true: i.e., that their
experience is happy.


Sad Proselytists

This sad insanity they impose on all and everyone. Of the actual pathetic nature of their lives they know intuitively but without letting themselves know it (like so much else of the facts of their reality). They also know in their muscles that saying
the lie out, and loudly, can help in reinforcing their precious untruths. For these dear fabrications, when heard coming
from the outside--even if it is simply one's own voice that one is
hearing echoed back--have greater weight and credibility to them. When experienced
existing in the outside world, they can be felt to be more real than when heard just in one's own private thoughts
alone.  [Footnote 7]

This is another reason they need to have other people, and the media, echo it: It adds to the reality of these lies...the Big Lie repeated becomes more true...and boosts their defense against, and attacks on, the truth of their reality which asserts itself over and over--"truth will out"--during their life and increasingly more as they get older. This also explains their behavior's increasing rigidity with time, as they get older.



If
YOU accept that I'm better off than you, then I must be!  But simply proclaiming their blessed savedness out loud is not enough to be truly
convincing over against
the unhappiness that they actually feel every moment. So the big guns
are brought out: Not only must they proclaim their happiness; they can
PROVE it. This leads to their fantasy of engaging with the rest of the world in convincing all others that
they are indeed less happy than they think they are and that that they need and
want the "saving" the "enraptured" ones are offering.

The underlying rationale goes like this: If you
could convince others in the world that you were happier than they are to the point
where those others would all want to give up their lives and have your life
instead, well, then that PROVES you are happy, or at least that what you
have is the happiest existence possible. For if your reality wasn't the better one, no one would choose it over their own...no one would decide to try to be like you rather than to be like themselves. Conversely, other people choosing to try to become like you, to accept your beliefs...to be "saved"...proves that your reality is the superior one (One Way!!). To such lengths do people go to deny their
sad, unfortunate lives.



Inner Lepers.  If one could not see the
tragedy of it for a moment, one would have
quite a belly laugh, at their sake: Just this vision of inner lepers,
convincing themselves that they are divinely gifted healers instead,
going out to convince as many healthy people as possible that it is
they who have leprosy and that they (the actual inner lepers
proclaiming themselves spiritual healers) can cure them (of this
disease that they don't have) by the intimate laying on of hands.

You simply have to take a look at the lives
described above and
imagine those multitudes and the incredible pain, utter lovelessness,
utterly miserable and confused minds they carry as adults. Then think beyond them to
the many-fold more of the masses who have similar but lesser versions
of lives and experiences as the "enraptured."


Add to that the incredible power of fear; not
only fear; but fear that has, well, demonically, been projected into
the biggest expanse existing in the universe--that of the imagination
and that of the knowledge of the Unknown, combined.


A mind that's squirming like a toad.  If you can get a sense of that fear, even a small part,
you will
realize the utter terror that awakens them, that is there in the middle
of the night as they approach consciousness, and which, like a
squirming frog, inhabits, nay, becomes the daytime brain and thoughts
of these people, and motivates them to do ANYTHING, anything at all,
that might promise a snippet of relief from what is the reality they
condemn others to.

You will see that they believe in hell because
they in fact live lives that are the closest things in existence to
actual hells. This is made that much worse, indeed, multiplied many-fold, by the
idea implanted with it, which is that to acknowledge that truth will actually
result in the imagined hell becoming reality...and that the only way
they can save themselves from that hell is to, somehow, not be aware of their
own reality as it is. So they must struggle mightily to not know what they indeed do know. Now, try that burden on for size. And just be
glad that you are not them. They exist within that nightmare reality; they see it portrayed before them. They have not even the respite, like watching a horror movie, of ever walking out of the theater and thinking, "Well, I'm glad that was only
a movie."


But the rest of us must confront their horribly realities as well. Sorry, you are not spared them. And you dare not take comfort in the denials of them as well. For to deny these truths is the same as
denying the events
of history that have resulted from these kinds of horrible existences: all the wars, killings, tortures, holocausts, purges, genocides, pogroms. It is no coincidence that these sorry sorts are attracted to fantasies of denial, such as denying climate change, denying the Holocaust, denying the atrocities committed by religions or their own governments. In striving to be shiny, happy people they create inner hells and outer monsters. Not only hell do they create, but all the hellacious
things on earth are the offspring of these lives. This includes the creation now of the ultimate evil that can be committed while in flesh--the
killing of the planet and of all life on it.

the lyrics to "Sad" by Nirvana:


Rare song by nirvana titled "Sad" or "Verse Chorus Verse." Also known as "Sappy."



Lyrics:



And if you save yourself

You will
make him happy

He'll keep you in a jar

And you'll think you're
happy

He'll give you breathing holes

Then you'll think you're
happy

He'll cover you with grass

And you'll think you're happy

Now



You're really
in a laundry room,

You're really in a laundry room

Conclusion came to
you, oh



And if you cut yourself

You will think you're happy

He'll

keep you in a jar

Then you'll make him happy

He'll give you
breathing holes

Then you'll think you're happy

He'll cover you
with grass

Then you'll think you're happy

Now



You're really in a
laundry room,

You're really in a laundry room

Conclusion came to you, oh
(x2)



And if you fool yourself

You will make him happy

He'll
keep you in a jar

And you'll think you're happy

He'll give you
breathing holes

Then you will seem happy

You'll wallow in your
shit

Then you'll think you're happy

Now



You're really in a laundry
room (x3)

Conclusion came to you, oh

5.  I just
realized that I cannot call our planetmates "animals" anymore. It
strikes me as being very much like using the N-word for Blacks or the
Q-word for Gays. For we all know that the word, animal, has
connotations that are not positive, in fact they are derogatory and demeaning. The word
is used as an insult. It does not connote the noble, esteemed but
simply different, interesting nature of these conscious souls in
relation to us, in truth. Is it not time we all started referring to our
differently embodied brothers and sisters, not as "animals," but as planetmates?

6.  Cf., Fromm's The
Sane Society; Marx on religion as being the "opiate of the masses"; and Sigmund Freud's writings of the role of religion in society as a defense mechanism.

7.  It is significant that in The Lord of the Rings trilogy the power of the Ring, which signifies an all-encompassing untrue belief system that provides comfort, esteem, and well-being--thus an aspect of ego (cf., Primal Spirit article on the meaning of the ring)--the power of the ring is magnified when it is used. This is equivalent to the assertion, saying out loud of one's untruths, unrealities...the struggle to find external justification and reinforcement for one's chosen psychotic reality and thus the active enslaving or imprisoning of oneself, i.e., becoming a Gollum.
