Ishmael: Depressed? Contemplating suicide or a homicidal rampage?
Ishmael: have you instead considered
Ishmael: THE SEA?
How do I do it? How do I escape the capitalist life—how do I reclaim this language? The language of a slow sunrise. The language of salt and blood. The language of 10,000 stones. The language of sleeping stars. The language that gives me my name.
— Angel Dominguez, from “[Dear Diego],” Desgraciado
So, why do it then? Why choose to be good, every day, if there is no guaranteed reward we can count on, now or in the afterlife?
If Dracula Daily is reading the travel blog of our good friend Jonathan, Voyage of the Nautilus is reading the diary of a 40 year old man writing about his crush (and the cool field trips his crush takes him on) in pink glitter gel pen while kicking his feet
jeremy strong was SO right when he described kendall as goncharovian btw. that scene where de niro walks out of that church and keeps on walking... that's literally kendall walking back to the venue after killing that kid. he's walking into the night (which obviously symbolises his memories of russia) or he's walking to logan it is literally the same thing. what the fuck was it that matteo said in the dvd commentary? your beginning is your undoing and your salvation but you can never go back, or it tightens and winds like a chain around your neck. you CAN'T go back. clock motif my beloved. he's literally the most goncharovian poor little meow meow on earth
reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone
According to the CIA was when someone gets to 33 (33rd vertebrae or Golgotha) it creates a superimposed image of the spirit, the body, and all of the components therefore since Kundalini is a temporal paradox, they die and live through Christ and have the old neural network freely moving in the vessel. This old mapping of the first vessel is the Holy Ghost. The second time one gets to 33 by the number 666, it decimates the first image and keeps the second. Therefore God in the Flesh and something greater than man is in control. 777 is when bio lightning or the lightning flash of creation grants Christ to the heart of the initiate who completed the great work. It spirals down in the months that proceed after the lightning flash. The number 666 is the serpent of wisdom climbing back to the highest crown.
