VIII. Worm Ride ft. Dante & Virgil:
Extra, extra, read all about it…
Let us, like a sinner who is in a car chase with the cops, cut to the chase. The point of this book VIII. Worm Ride, in my book: Jackism, The Fairytale Religion, is that at the end, Dante was trying to save the sinners. That’s all I will tell for this read. If you want to buy it and read it, more power to you.
Why does God save the sinners? First, I would say, that this term is rather weak and scanty, and omits some detail. It is not that God prefers the sinners over the decent man. It is just that there is an easier alchemical reaction there for potential happening – an easier switch to flip.
There is a kind of paradox here wherefore a man who is, not just a sinner (as every man is.), but a heavy sinner (murderer, thief, etc.) knows he is bad because it is rather obvious – already has a jump-start ahead of a person who is decent with venial and less vile sins and does not want to admit to his badness.
It is like the first step of AA – to admit that you have a problem. The sinner does, and whether he cares if he does or does not, he sees it and is still one step ahead of the “goodie-goodie” with small venial sin who plays ignorant and dumb. So, the admission of a problem is the first step towards healing, as per usual.
The sinner is aware that he is a sinner, and therefore knows better, and therefore alchemy and self-transformation can occur because he is made into a switch, which leads me into my example: The Light Switch.
When a light switch is up, it is lights on; when down, it is darkness. And everyone starts without a switch, the switch must be burgeoned by self-awareness to get to the Light of God. And so, the “decent” man, who does not have God, very rarely wants to become self-aware of his darkness – he wants to ignore it – and so there is zero switch there, because a switch implies polarity, and since he sees no darkness, there is no polarity, there is no switch.
But the sinner who knows that he is a sinner, who knows his badness, manifests himself into a light-switch. Because he knows that he is dark and therefore knows also that there is another way which is light; to be good as opposed to bad. And so, the sinner who sees he is a sinner is a switch. The one who ignores he is a sinner is a dead bulb with no wires – no switch. They are rather stagnant with little potential for the shining light which is God.
And why does the sinner who finds light always see clearer than the man who’s only been decent his whole life? Because even though he has turned on his switch, he still holds all the information of the darkness, like a light switch does. A switch is two-parts information; on and off; light and dark. And so, while he is light, he still harvests the information of the dark, as well. It is very simple for a sinner who becomes good to spot out the darkness in others, because he was that – he has that data harvested in him, and he knows what it looks like – the light is on. It is much harder for a “decent” man who tells lies to spot out a liar, because his light is not on. His lies inside of his head are mixed with truths, it is chaos, and so he is easily tricked by a liar because he himself does not know how to distinguish between what a truth looks like as opposed to a lie, because he pretends with the same face when telling a lie as he does with a truth; and so the karma is self-imposed and Just. But a man who does not lie, who has found the light, discerns the lies because they are made very visible, hence the switch being on.
There is also another point here to make, and that is that a man who has found God & Truth will never be perfect, either. There are always imperfections to work on. But since his Light is On, which is symbolic of self-awareness (which brings you to God), he may easily spy out his vices and continue his inner-work and therefore he is in a constant state of transformation – of becoming brighter. Because he sees all of his data and does not ignore it – because it is impossible to ignore what’s visible when the light is turned on.
