I haven't written anything worth its weight in shit in over a decade and a half, and then suddenly I get this urge to write. Felt good to create and work the noggen again. But needed my mind to rant its rant so I can get some rest again.

Does this speak to you?

Not sure if it qualifies anymore but then I didnt write it for anyone other than the person it addresses or who shares the words.

Please note it's not exactly inspired by religion, nor is it outrightly blasphemous. The only reference to actual religion is the obvious "Kiss", which is a generally accepted term these days.

This is my own original work and may be used or reposted as long as no monetary gains are made from it and the writer is credited.

No matter how dark you want to be or your choice of religion or your sexual fantasies, sooner or later we all have to face a simple fact.

so i guess today people woke up and logged in just to see how crazy this censorship can get - now you can’t even see your own posts if they were (obviously incorrectly) marked as explicit. actually, there’s a way to see them.

you just have to go through the tag you use for your edits. posts that were marked explicit will look like this:

and if you click on the post, you’ll see this:

but take a look at the address bar

this is the post number. if you copy it and go to tumblr dot com/edit/post number, you’ll see the post and will be able to edit it.

you can message support asking to review your post (since now it is the only way i believe) & also add a tag to your flagged posts to check if they’ve been unflagged.

The 21 Grams Theory. On 10 April 1901, an unusual experiment was conducted in Dorchester, Massachusetts.  Dr. Duncan MacDougall was going to prove that the human soul had mass, and was therefore, measurable. Dr. MacDougall conducted this experiment on six dying patients who were placed on specially made Fairbanks weight scales just prior to their deaths. Dr. MacDougall’s intention was to weigh each body before and after death to determine any differences measured by the delicate scales. The patients were selected based upon their imminent death. Once the patient died, an interesting event occurred. Suddenly, coincident with death, the beam end dropped with an audible stroke hitting against the lower limiting bar and remaining there with no rebound. The loss was ascertained to be three-fourths of an ounce.  The experiment continued on the next patient with the same results.  A quote from 1907 New York Times article captures the historic moment:“ The instant life ceased the opposite scale pan fell with a suddenness that was astonishing – as if something had been suddenly lifted from the body. Immediately all the usual deductions were made for physical loss of weight, and it was discovered that there was still a full ounce of weight unaccounted for.” Not all the patients lost the same weight, but they did lose something that could not be accounted for. Unfortunately, only four of the six patient’s results could be counted due to mechanical failures or the patient dying prior to the test equipment being in place. Everything was taken into account, from the air in the lungs to bodily fluids. An interesting variation occurred on the third patient, who maintained his same weight immediately upon death.  But after one minute, he lost about an ounce of weight.  Dr. MacDougall explained this discrepancy as follows: “I believe that in this case, that of a phlegmatic man slow of thought and action, that the soul remained suspended in the body after death, during the minute that elapsed before its freedom. There is no other way of accounting for it, and it is what might be expected to happen in a man of the subject’s temperament.” Following the experiment, it was determined that the average weight loss of each person was �� of an ounce.  Dr. MacDougall concluded that a human soul weighed 21 grams. Although this experiment would be considered unethical in modern times, it is still a peculiarity that sparks a lot of criticism, ranging from the methodology used to various religious implications. Of Note: A great movie titled “21 Grams” made in 2003 references Dr. MacDougall’s experiments.

Do We Plan Our Lives Before We Are Born? The Pre-Birth Plan The cycle of life to death to re-birth starts with the Pre-Birth Plan. You establish this plan with a council (the elders or the wise ones). You discuss the life ahead of you and are given the choice of a few different lives to pick from in the current time period you are incarnating into. Once your choices have been given to you and you pick one, the tedious task starts of planning all the things you wish to experience in the upcoming life. Experience isn’t the only thing we seek; we have goals to meet and challenges to overcome. Some wish to learn patience or overcome jealousy. Many people have debated this theory but you also choose to clear up karmas. There are a few other things like healing, contrast and healing false beliefs. When the life plan is being created, our guides are there with us creating a flow chart. A flow chart is the plan but with free will incorporated into it. Our guides also create synchronicities in our lives to trigger certain things in us and guide us on the best path to help us master our goals. After the plan is in place, we are born and forget the plan and who we truly are. Why Do We Forget? Forgetting is an integral part of the cycle. It’s how we truly get to know ourselves and fully live the current life we are living. We’re living in the time of remembering and many of us are remembering who we are and why we came to Earth at this time. Those who haven’t fully awakened to their abilities but wish to have more insight on who they are and why they are here seek out mediums or people who are in tune with higher frequencies and can connect to help them access that kind of information. Playing Roles We come into each incarnation playing a role. The role is chosen with the help of our guides and council before we are born. In one life you will choose to be murdered and in another you will volunteer to be the murderer. Negative and positive are both construction material. Negative is an evolutionary catalyst. We come to Earth for many reasons but a big one is soul growth. Soul growth on the other side is very slow because it is paradise. Also, because we are able to forget who we are, we can learn things on a deeper level and expand even more from it. Because we live in a world of duality, we must have “negative.” The negative is what makes this world. If we didn’t have the villains, none of this would be possible. In every single one of those villains is a beautiful soul living a human experience that was all planned with soul growth in mind. “You close your eyes to the past in order to reopen them to a new existence. You can get more expansion by forgetting.” – Teal Swan

Mary's Little Lamb When all your dreams are realized and you have reached your pinnacle, you have merely cloned the image the public made of you. When you leave from there, "enlightened", and work to become your own, you have gained nothing. You have merely succumbed to the public brainwashing you into believing you need an identity. We are the Public, we are The People, we are God, we are Satan, we are Human. This is our curse for the plague we have bestowed on this earth. Seeking purpose when its significance could be compared to the significance of a tiny lost black ant. Hence: The Troubled Public. Now go and wipe those tears. They are not worth the skin they moisten.

Collecters be us, for our own will be collecting from us. Yes, make your penny, live your life, but keep to record, the more you collect, the more will be collected from you. See it as a loan. Im pretty sure by the end of the day you would have drawn your 15 minutes' worth. And your audience will be captivated, even when you fail to see them. A token of their appreciation will keep you awake most nights and you will have tiny feet running through your mind, eating at your soul.

XIII, We fear death because we never see her beautiful face, her smell if nostalgia, when we should not. Death is an old friend come to allow us to live. When we break off from from a cancerous past, we fear the unknown and Death is blamed, as if she is the cause to our suffering. She is merely the stop of it and the beginning of a new venture. The church warns us of death when they do not even grasp its meaning. It does not end your life. It frees you into your own future. What you make of a dying situation is your own mantra and you can either fear Death or take her hand realise what a catch you are and place man at your heels and take the first step forward. "There is Death in all of us, and sadly, some life too."

"Interrupted" or "Affected" sleep? Times may change, and with it the practicalities that follow it, but human nature remains unchanged since man was made by something other than a woman. The only demons we sense are the ones we created, coming back in our sleep and changing your person. Learn to spot a demon.
