I wasn't expecting to run into an incredible Metroid post on Tumblr today...
metroid is about isolation
but metroid is also about learning to do trick jumps from random animals who celebrate when you get it right, and about saving them even as the planet shudders under your feet
and metroid is about lowering your gun when you meet the last of a species who's only just hatched, and gently holding out your hand
and metroid is about accidentally calling the name of someone you care about, who you thought you'd lost, and finding out they've been with you the whole time
and about a little scribble of a child with their parents tucked into the corner of a grand mural
and about the gifts left behind by others because they may be gone before they get to meet you, but that won't stop them from helping you
metroid is about love actually

Something I had to learn upon entering the left hand path, was that self deification (becoming a god/dess) is not egocentrism. I was raised in the common Christian mindset that people who don't believe in God try to put themselves above him. That they're selfish and apathetic and only care about themselves. They're trying to become God, quite like the tower of Babel Story. How vain of them—right?
What I realized as I followed this new path, in which the ultimate goal of my life has become self deification, is that that process is not about egocentrism, it's about being in control. About being accountable. Something that most Christians are not.
To them, bowing to a god means giving up all responsibilities and critical thinking, under the disguise of being humble and worshipping God as the highest of beings. Meanwhile LHP practitioners call themselves god, distinctly because we take full responsibility. Because we know that we are the only person who can control our life and we must take accountability for all that we do. That is what makes us a god. The god of our own lives.
I think what Christians don't understand is that we don't make ourselves god of other people. Unlike them, who try to make their god everyone's God. If anyone is egocentric, it's really them and their version of righteousness. But surely not me by taking the responsibility that they avoid by simply hiding behind the words and morals of someone who controls their entire life.
So I'll let them call me egocentric. If that's what it takes to be my own god, I'll risk looking like a self centered, apathetic bitch to everyone else. At least I get to make my own decisions.
