It's existentialism and called the Universe that we live in. Not God or any woo. The "spirit" and spiritualism is where mind and body interface, often conflicting or confusing. There's no need to make up nonsense to fill in the gaps. Reason and logic and admissions that there may be gaps are all that's necessary.

Have a look at Eckhart Tolle's and Paul Tillich's approaches if you are curious. This ain't existentialism in the post-Nietzschean sense

(...though I think Nietzsche would have found it interesting)

Whereas:

Nietzsche is the more important forerunner of the Existentialist courage to be as oneself.

Tillich describes the individual who has self-affirmed in this way: “He mediates the powers of being which are concentrated in him. He has them within himself in knowledge…. He directs the course of his life”

a world without 'Good' being the core of all living things... just try and imagine it.

now all violence is a form of insanity amongst animals. they get hungry, the hunger drives them to kill. after the kill, the gazelles relax as the lions eat. that is the way of things.

i professed, as a test, that there are no accidents.

i still hold this is true.

since I've stepped into a life with God, I've had significantly less trouble and more joy expanding, while some regress as those not able to stand the light of your presence.

whatever, I can't convince anyone of anything that won't take it upon themselves to find out.

i say chaos can exist within divine perfection..

but divine perfection cannot exist within chaos ..

i don't see chaos. i see idiots misusing.. not using.. not understanding.. and I see snake oil sales men.. selling fear.. they change their tune when we get bored of their current stick. but always away from God they point.

catholic church doesn't care about your state of mind.

but to me, that is the most important matter.

enjoy thinking about these things, if good comes from it, that'd be nice. if not, fuck it.

peace out.

Brillaint points.

I might note that I agree with Pope Francis on many things, though I am not Catholic.

Fuck God. Fuck government. Fuck "authority".

My strongest recommendation: Mark Passio's Natural Law lecture is 3 hours long. If there's a shorter half hour summary I'd point you to that.
