Outline for a depressing book, by Dominick

Semblance


How to come to terms with the absurdity of rational thought and the relative absurdity of the unconcious in the modern world.


1.God hypothesis as a social factor (Jesus). God as love. God as nerons. God as feelings. God as a methology to keep life going on earth. God as a an ultimately human create object. One of our blunders? The problems of existentialism and Nietzsche. God as morals. Theology as base don logic and feelings. Alchemy and the unconscious

2.All religion as myth. Religion as human created ideals to keep differentiation and the hide us from our true selves. The Ultimate Knowledge of Self as the connection between our dark shadow and how we can overcome it. Question to whether this is possible or not. Logic vs. feelings.

3.Existentialism as either a dead end philosophy or as a freeing one. Personal freedom vs. collective safety and freedom. The question of communism and man's rule. The State and Capitalism as subsituted Gods. Human created Gods as flaws.

Modern religions as outdated. Possibilities of new religions the expand consciousness and evolution.

The problem of dissociation and conflicting information. The tendency for reason to lead into contradictory results. The tendency for a weak ego to try to assimilate different personalities, and the danger of this. What we can learn from this. Self love as a pre determinism for love in general. The tendency for lack of direct experience of emotions to lead people to believe that they dont exist at all. “Love only exists in books”.

Finally, the brutal acceptance that reason alone will not suffice. Coming to terms with the unconscious and our true nature without resulting to insanity.
