    Morbid man

    Leftius
    in General
    Many of you, I hope, has read Dostoevsky. He coined the term "the underground man". The man is a morbid being, not interested anything but his own hate against life. 
    I quote Thomas Ligotti here (On morbidity):
    "Isolation, mental strain, emotional exertions, visionary infatuations, well-executed fevers, repudiations of well-being; only a few of the many exercises practiced by that specimen we shall call the 'morbid man'. And our subject of supernatural horror is a vital part of his program. Retreating from a world a world of health and sanity, or at least one that daily invests in such commodities, the morbid man seeks the shadows behind the scenes of life. He backs himself into a corner alive with cool drafts and fragrant with centuries of must. It is in that corner that he builds a world of ruins out of the battered stones of his imagination, a rancid world rife with things smelling of the crypt. - - The morbid man does not appear to be doing himself or others any good."

    That it is what I'm, a morbid man. I can see just the dim light. We disappear, we keep returning back - and for what reasons? Karma? We are trapped in this hell. I don't believe in mankind. Perhaps there will be progress, but I doubt that. I'm escaping to an illness - the only way possible for my kind. Have a good life. It is not for me.

      Pain is a drug that feeds the ego.

      Leftius, you are in good company, the morbid circus, us. Let´s indulge in the notion that we are comming to have that we were drawn to be here for some reason, if that is true we have caracteristics in common for sure. The mentioned morbidity is undoubtely one of them, we share the caracteristic that we are not fond of life, it really sucks, we are fed up with it. However if we believe the esoteric notions propagated here we also know that we have work to do and nobody else will do it for us, so we have to endure it. There´s no escape.
      Brian, for Leftius sake and ours too I´m going to ask you directly something, if you don´t answer I won´t ask you anything else ever. I think the answer will uplift Leftius, having written what he wrotte he needs it and we do too.
      Where we drawn to you for some specific reason, have we ties in common, something made this encounter inevitable, is there a purpose in all this? Or not, it´s just a random coincidence? Please a straight, clear answer, as long as you want but without the usual need to decode it and with several enigmatic layers. Thank you.
      Leftius, hang on, you are not alone, I didn´t like the grey, desperate tone of your message. Perhaps BS will answer and help.

      “Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine.” – Shunryu Suzuki

      Engaging in morbidity or seeking purpose is a kind of excitement that requires little or no concentration.

      Everyone is a thought criminal.

      Brian, you say that we must overcome our thoughts. But you are certainly thinking. Can you pick the thoughts you want, or what else?

      Zen Masters don't seek the truth because truth should already be self-evident. Rather, the Master will attempt to demonstrate that all thought is invalid and is the source of sickness, death and decay.

      Who is thinking those thoughts?

    • OskrZS
      Like we are here in a place based on thoughts? If we dont want thoughts we could find him in non thoughts realm?

      Gandhi what do you think of the Internet?
      I think is a good idea

      Leftius, BS didn´t answer so I won´t make him any more questions. I supose your state of mind is also a temporary one, more or less, just don´t go to the depths of it, it can become dangerous for you.

      PAULOJOSE, i'd say BRIAN answered YOUR question, & trust me it is the very first time i can say i understand what he posted... - ha, ha, ha?
      = translation - this gathering HERE is randomly on purpose & everything in-between.

    • paulojose
      ferz, you understood what BS said? Good for you, I never did!...I´m joking, most of the times I think I know what he means but guessing is not knowing. I´ll miss asking him
    • ferz
      PAULOJOSE, i don't know ... instead of mis'ing to ask, either YOU just say "well, i lied... big deal" & continue to ask either change the strategy - reconfigure any question as a sentence & BRIAN will "answer the challenge" instead of a straight question (but, please, don't tell the others i tried to "kurupt" YOU to conspire against BRIAN on this one, ok?- what ? this isn't the "mes'ages", is the topic ? = ha, ha, ha ?)

      ferz, any "trick" to make BS answer anything won´t work. Let´s move on to the next stage, a sort of budhist one where we just contemplate what is going on. That posture is a semi passive one but also a convenient one, I will make comments but not questions to BS. You can do them, until you get tired of it... It´s not an important issue.
