Kind one incentives rebellion, we flee from ideas, have an incessantly-changing model of an incessantly-changing World instead of an identity or beliefs. Kind two prevents escape, totally absorbs our consciousnesses, bars social changes, causes our World to crumble unnoticed about us. This is GAME OVER.MattRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240275090095185221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35011209.post-74718808951562659342009-03-26T14:46:00.000+13:002009-03-26T14:46:00.000+13:00But surely the corporate-military meme machine for...But surely the corporate-military meme machine forges demons by the truckload every day of the week. Buddhist prayer wheels ain't got nothing on that mass production line of vampire ideas. I'm not sure what you think you could add. Or are you causing about a different kind of "bodily pains"?Doloras LaPichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406903235156602127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35011209.post-14300348188107905702009-03-26T14:38:00.000+13:002009-03-26T14:38:00.000+13:00Either.

I admit- we may often need to be rescued from these, via C.B.T., exorcisms, or other kinds of (shudders) magic. Nevertheless, they have a high value, which they earn by patrolling and guarding a special place, and delivering torments to those with stray consciousnesses, they who would forget what they are, sensate lumps of flesh. Sadly, our precious demons are being intentionally driven to extinction. I may need to establish a demon-forging workshop to keep this from happening. Wait, I just slipped over into self-parody, sorry.MattRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240275090095185221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35011209.post-67768386844587458772009-03-25T14:41:00.000+13:002009-03-25T14:41:00.000+13:00That's certainly an interesting identity / lifesty...That's certainly an interesting identity / lifestyle you've chosen there, Matt.

Demons compel a choice- seat consciousness in fierce intellectual torments or nagging bodily pains. CBT is apposite for peoples who have chosen comfort and ease as their supreme values.MattRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240275090095185221noreply@blogger.com
