Eschaton VS  Grenzsituationen


From wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/)
Eschatology: is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with the final events in the history of the world or the ultimate destiny of human kind, commonly phrased as the end of the world. In many religions, the end of the world is a future event prophesied in sacred texts or folklore.

The Greek word Aeon means "age"; some translations may read "end of the age" instead of "end of the world"

18 1 Some people have immanentized the eschaton, i.e. they have internalized the conviction that they have either understood how the “end of times”, the “end of the world”, or, at the very least “the end of the world as we know it”. 2 Some even go one step further and attempt to imminentize the eschaton, to bring the eschaton as they conceive it is destined to happen forth.

19 1 Strictly speaking every single moment is an eschaton. Every single moment the present dies and becomes the past and what used to be the future replaces it. 2 Humans, being the thinking animals or creations of “God” they are, need order in their world. They need their world to make sense. 3 They sometimes develop one or more fixations. They attain a certainty. They convince themselves, and oftentimes many others along, that they have grasped “it”, if only partially. They got how “it” works. 4 In doing so, they allow themselves to go from moment to moment without having to face the impermanence of the Universe and the inevitability of death. The meaninglessness of it all. 5 They deny part of the truth in order to give their life meaning, in order to maintain a drive and or and/or a motivation. 
6 This is a lie.

20 1 This, is THE lie. 2 A lie most of the times necessary, a lie most of the time helpful, but still a lie. 3 When we immerse ourselves in a book or a movie and when we cry for the poor doggy who lost its way home or for the poor domesticating human who lost his doggy, we know we live a lie. We have willingly submitted ourselves to this lie for the purpose of distraction or entertainment.

4 Some lies are bigger than others. Some lies are better hidden than others. At some point, some lies become “acts of faith” or “necessities of thought”. 5 Once the lie is held long enough, it becomes true. 6 This serves a purpose. 

7 A lie said once is a proposal, a lie said twice is a suggestion, a lie said thrice is an hypothesis, a lie said four times is a truth, a lie said pentatimes is a dogma. 8 Exposing a proposal as a lie is discussion, exposing a suggestion as a lie is argumentation, exposing an hypothesis as a lie is inquisition, exposing a truth as a lie is either genius or folly, exposing a dogma as a lie is a threat.

9 Saying a lie is not that much of a problem, most people lie every once in a while. 10 Believing a lie is not that much of problem, sometimes acting on a good lie may be better than inaction. 11 Living a lie is not that much of a problem, it is because we do not and can not know everything that we need to learn. 12 Allowing a lie to live is not that much of a problem either, some time telling lies can push people to achieve what everybody thought was impossible. 13 Finally, even imposing your lies on others is not such a problem, everyone is free to believe in or not. 

21 1 In this process, eventually more lies are built upon more lies and a tower built on bullshit is erected. 2 So, how can one dare say that such an edification of lies is still not such a problem? 1
3 Because even if humans and other sentient beings can never fully know the truth, cannot fully debunk all the lies they built for themselves, truth lives within them.

22 1 Lies are an individual’s attempt to do hir part in the grand scheme of things. 2 It is not necessary to know the truth to do the right thing, to know what your role is in it. 3 It may appear desirable, but it is not necessary. 4 The wrong motivation can lead one to do the right thing and this is all that matters. 5 In the end, all humans, all sentient beings are part of nature, of the Universe, of the Tao, and as such, they can only do what nature, what the Universe, what Tao does. 6 Every sentient being truly knows the truth behind the lies.

5 Whatever lies you or others tell yourself, your truth lies within you. 6 When you reach your truth, you know it. 7 It is impossible to define where, when, what, why, who, how. I could make up a lie to make my point but both you and I would know this would just be one more lie.

5 So, why bother?

23 1 In everything, there is a hard and there is an easy way to do things. 2 In everything there is a suffering and a pleasurable way to do things. 
3 In nothing is there a right or wrong way to do things. 4 In nothing is there a good or evil way of doing things. 5 All gets done in the end and that is that. 6 Just like dust turns to dust, we all die in the end. All of us fit in or places and no one here gets out alive.

7 If one is free to act, one will do easy and pleasurable. If one is free to act, one will do "right" and "good". No amount of lies can change that.

8 So this is what is boils down to, freedom.

24 1 Every living, every sentient being is free to be wholesome, to be healthy and to be fulfilled. Every living and sentient being can do so without taking its health, wholesomeness or fill from another living, sentient being. 2 Some do.
3 There is no way the freedom of a living or sentient being can be lost because it is hindered by another living, sentient being. Many say that the liberty of the one ends where the liberty of the other starts. This is a lie. 4 We are all interdependent on one another. 5 We are just as dependent on the animal we kill for its meat or fur as it is itself dependent on what it feeds on. 6 The parasite infecting our blood stream is just as dependent on us as we are dependent on the Earth. 7 Parasites live on us, us parasites of the Earth. 8All life share but one thing: freedom. 
9 The parasite expresses its true nature, it does not rob us of our freedom. Humans express their true nature, they do not rob the Earth of its freedom.

10 Even yourself cannot truly take away – or give away - your own freedom.
11 You can only fail to see yourself as free.

12 Living in a historical moment where lies upon lies have accumulated like a tower of Babel reaching to the heavens. Many of us have forgotten we are free.

13 “We all have wings, but some of us don’t know why.”
14 This makes Goddess Eris Kallisti Discordia sad.

25 1 Greyface will try to take our freedom away by external, physical force. 2 We can resist by internal, spiritual strenght. 3 Socrates did not have to drink the hemlock, he did because his freedom to believe in what he thought was true was more important to him than to live in a world that would have forced him to lie. To lie or to die, that was his question, he chose his answer. 4 All the soldiers that died on a field believed that they would rather die fighting than live according to the rule of the “enemy”. They may not have all understood the reasons that started the war they were fighting, but they were free to choose the side they died for. If they had thought they fought for the wrong side, at any moment they could have turned their gun on their general and get killed by their “false allies” rather than by their “false enemies”.

26 1 The Bavarian Illuminati will try to take our freedom away by external, persuasive force. Publicity, religion, governments all try to make us express our freedom in the way they think is “right”, in the way they think is “good”. Seduction, persuasion, brainwash, torture, limited time rebates, all are attempts at taking away your freedom to choose for yourself. If anything, even I am doing this right now. But no matter how convincing anyone attempts to be, as long as you can choose what 2 + 2 equals to, you are free.

27 1 Should the soldiers fallen in the fields have lived in a time of peace rather than in a time of war, would they have been any more or less immortal. 2 Should you be in charge of the Bavarian Illuminati instead of THEM, would you be any more right or good? 3 Think before you answer - or don't. 4 There are some "happenings" we do not have control over. 5 We all die in the end. Death is the great terminator. 6 That does not make us any less free. 7 Unless you confuse the virtues of this world with those of another.

8 No one here "gates" out alive.

28 1 You are only as free to make your own choices as your are willing to accept the consequence of your actions.

29 1 Would you rather live a short heroic life according to your “true” beliefs or a long anonymous life believing and acting out their lie? 
2 If you are not in complete denial mode or paralyzed by ambiguity, you already answered this question for yourself. 3 Socrates, Sysyphus, the Emperor Norton answered for themselves. 
4 There is no right no wrong answer**. There is your answer and nothing else. Did you answer YOUR answer … or is there something else for you?

30 1 Freedom comes at the cost of responsibility. 2 You are responsible for your actions. 3 You are responsible for the wrong and the hurt you make. 4 No external willing entity or force flooded the world exterminating all humans but one family. But many atrocities which we refuse to take responsibility for did occurr in Sodom and Gomorre. 5 The price of refusing our responsibility in these atrocious acts, is the loss of our freedom.

6 No external willing entity wrote the Bible or the Quran. 7 But somebody flew those planes into the World Trade Centre. The price for “Western civilization” to refuse to take responsibility for these atrocious acts is the acceptance of the bombings of civilians in far away country under pretense of a fight for freedom by the same individuals who passed the Pariot Act and who ordered the establishment of Guantanamo Bay, and who maintained it after it came public.
8 Some years ago, Jewish detainees saw the inscription “Work shall set you free” when being transported to the concentration camp in Auschwitz. 9 What are you working for? What will set you free? 10 Do not let your freedom to think hinder your capacity to know, hinder your capacity to work. 11 YOU may be free, but that widescreen TV you are working for is not.

31 1 Socrates, the Jewish people in the concentration camps, the people who flew the planes in the World Trade Centre, the people who drafted the Patriot Act, the guy who delivered your grocery, the people who accepted to exchange goods for Emperor Norton money, Malaclypse the elder or Malaclypse the younger, Omar Kayyam Ravenhurst, all choose how they expressed their freedom. 2 They did not all leave the same legacy. 3 They did not all believe in the same eschaton.

32 1 Every moment is an eschaton. Every second of your life is a second that passes and that you will never get back. It is all you have. It is what makes you eternal or not. 2 Every second we change, we age, we mature, we think, we act, we breathe. 3 If an hour of your time is worth your wage, your wage will never buy you back a second lost.

33 1 Am I the same person, the same self, who was born at my birth? Who will die at my death? I grew many inches since my birth and I expect to loose a few before my death. 2 Does that make me someone else. 3 I learned to walk. I learned to talk. I read the Principia Discordia. Did that make me someone else? 4 Where and when does me begin? 5 Where and when does me end?

34 1 Am I freely myself or am I living a lie which isn’t mine?

35 1 I do not have any answer for you. But I do bring a message from Eris Kallsiti Discordia. In life, there are moments, there are eschatons, and there are grenzsituationen ***.

2 There are moments that just pass, good or bad, without question. They just are.

3 Then there are those moments when you look in the mirror and you realise that you changed your hair style so many times now, you don't even know what you look like. 4 Moments when we become someone else. 5 Yet, we are neve anyone else but ourselves.

36 1 Humans are sentient beings. 2 We have five senses, we see, we hear, we touch, we talk, we smell . 3 We sense others through these five senses.

4 Humans are sapient being, we can think about what we feel and make sense of it. 5 With our five senses we take in the world, with our five senses we take in others, with our five senses we take in ourselves.

37 1 Just like our perception of the world and of others is mediated by our senses, our perception of ourselves is also mediated by our senses. 2 How would you perceive yourself if you could “get” to know who you are without that mediation of the senses? 3 Who would you be if the world was not what it is, if others would not be who they are? 4 Who would you be if, even for one minute, you could exist in nothing, nowhere, nowhat, nowho, nowhen, nohow? 5 Is there a part of you which is not yourself? 6 Is there a part of you which is not waht others perceive you to be? 7 Is there a part of you apart from that part of you which is that part-of-you-which-is-what-the-rest-of-the-world-is-not? 8 Where does your inside begin and where does your outside end? 9 Is your skin YOU? 10 Is the cold virus you are currently fighting YOU? 11 Are your likes and dislikes YOU? 12 Are the thoughts of this text in your mind YOU? 13 Are the thoughts of the Invisible Pink Unicorn real? 14 What is the essence of you? 15 And where can Jimmy Hoffa be buried?

 16 What is immanent or transcendent in you?

38 1 The Endtimes, the end of the world the eschaton are trandscendent.  2 The Grenzsituationen is immanent.  3 The Grenzsituationens are those moments when you stand on the border between this and that, between to and fro, between hither and tither.  4 The moments you spend on the porch.  5 Either racing through or talking it out with the doorman.  6 You can always come back or decide to go later but whatever you choose you change.

7 And the doorman says:

"Welcome, we were expecting you."
39 1 Have you immanentized your Eschaton today?
NOTES
** Other than 42.
*** Big words just to make it look more fancy of course. Hey! It is MY lie.

The man who, when his actions go wrong, begins to play about with moral
distinctions in order to put them right, cannot find the way back
