ready for a new Chat Pile album

 

Yeah in most other religions the goal is to understand a universal truth about the nature of existence.

In Sikhism the main universal truth is that the universal truth about the nature of existence is unknowable and incomprehensible to humans. It is the awe of that unknowability of god and humbling yourself and letting go of your ego before that vast unknown that is a central part of their religion. Sikhs believe that no religion has a monopoly on universal truth because it is not for us to understand universal truth. I respect that.

It isn't true Pantheism because they believe that god created the universe, but they also believe god functions as the universe at the time, and is genderless, formless, all encompassing, infinite, and incomprehensible. it is the closest religion to a pantheist philosophy

 

nice

thank you for educating me on it

 

Just finished watching School Spirits on Netflix. Sooo good. I hope they have a second season.

 

Joni Mitchell is good for the soul

 

I wonder how many times I was told that someone bought the farm before I knew what that really meant

 

Wish I could afford to buy a farm

 

My wife and I have been trying to buy a farmhouse for awhile. In Iowa, you either gotta be related to someone or be rich to buy one.

 

Has anyone done past life regression? Or accessed their akashic records? I want to try it. I want to know why I’m here with the so-called life I have. I really don’t feel like I belong. I never have. I feel like my soul is trapped. And lost.

 

Part of the reason why I say my soul doesn’t belong in this timeline or lifetime or not as me but I should be someone else is because I’ve read things how there are “soul ties” or whatever it’s called. I’ve read that people often are instantly connected to people in their family and how they form a close bond. Well.. I don’t have that or even feel that. Never have. Not sure if anyone else can relate to that feeling. Like you just feel alone in your “family”. Almost like you don’t want to consider them family, to the point where you don’t know what it feels like to be in a family. You feel so distant. You feel empty. You feel like your existence in the body you inhabit is a mistake.

 

Saw the story about the spy in the government who was a spy for Castro for 40+ years and how he was caught/discovered by a US spy pretending to be a spy for Castro too and being a spy is something I would just never be able to do. I’d be paranoid 24/7 thinking everyone is out to get me and everyone I talk to is a spy lol

 

Wait. So who was he a spy for?

 

The main guy was a spy for Cuba/Castro so the US government had one of their spies meet with the Castro spy and told him he was a Castro spy too but that was a lie / that was the set up to get the actual spy to admit it / give info.

 

I could never be a spy because I can't keep my mouth shut and have to tell everyone every mundane thing that's happening to me

 

I get ya now. Thats pretty dope

 

putting together my final end of the year list and there have just been so many great albums this year. it’s insane

@Fucking Dustin might like many tiny boxes

Oh man, I havent listened to Xiu Xiu in years.

 

I go months or sometimes even years without listening to them but I always come back

can only take so much darkness at once

 

one bright spot this year: I’ve mostly avoided Christmas music

 

now I’ll be inundated with it
