I Don’t Belong Here: Forever Suffering (Cut-And-Paste God Knowledge)
(Excerpted and edited from private correspondence:)
If you’re hoping to avoid pain and death, you’re on a fool’s errand. Life is pain and it ends in death. Okay, life isn’t JUST pain — but suffering certainly seems to be a key aspect to it. If you try and shelter yourself from it you wind up either completely unprepared for it when it comes anyway or so dissatisfied with your safety that like the Buddha you reject the whole concept of safety and declare all of existence to be an illusion.

I Don’t Belong Here: Faith Is For The Weak
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (John 20:29)
I’m just going to put this one right out there. Fuck faith. People talk about faith like it’s a good thing, a positive thing. It’s not. Faith is a bunch of crap. Well, okay, no. I guess SOME faith is unavoidable. I am taking it on faith that the world I experience outside of myself actually exists and is not a product of my imagination or a show put on for my benefit. Et cetera. When I say faith, I mean, like all the other pundits of my day, RELIGIOUS faith. It’s a bunch of crap. A holdover from when our brains weren’t wired as tight and we were all tripping balls daily.
Like Batman!

I Don’t Belong Here: Do Not Enter (or, “It’s A Marshmallow World”)
So there I was, happily leaving Walmart with marshmallows for the hot chocolate. All in all it had been a painless visit to one of the most awful places on Earth, which in retrospect must have been divine foreshadowing.
And as I walked through the exit door through to the vestibule, approaching through the other side was the Rude family. Mr. Rude, Mrs. Rude and little Rudy Jr. The Rude family was attempting to ENTER through the same door I was trying to EXIT from. Or egress, if you prefer a fancy and slightly archaic vocabulary. Now the Rude family weren’t merely trying to enter through the wrong door; a crime of mere social convention I commit frequently myself. No, they were determined to walk through the door side by side, BLOCKING the door from honest hard working citizens like myself who take it on good faith that they will be able to leave the building through the door marked “EXIT.” READ MORE »

Serious God Knowledge, Segment 01: Magic Wizards Riding Unicorns
Hooray! My greatly procrastinated and irregularly scheduled series of informative video edutainment has finally taken off! First segment: Magic wizards riding unicorns are not real, but what does that mean for humanity’s potential? Laugh, learn, and like.
I Don’t Belong Here: Phoning It In (The Best Of New Sun Rising)
Yeah, so, I’m phoning it in this week. What can I say? The life of a social revolutionary and mental explorer doesn’t always leave time for new content. Personal issues. So here’s some things I already wrote, over at the blog no one reads, and, by virtue of being from the blog that no one reads, may as well be new. So, together again for the first time, the wit and wisdom of Noel R. Rogers, padded out with accompanying surreal original art: READ MORE »
