It is time to return to the world.
As per the prophecy outlined in Thus Spake Zarathustra, I retired from the world at age 30, having tired of it. Also as per the prophecy, I retired to the mountains, far away from the mainline of human civilisation. I was far away from all the intercontinental travellers and the hot chicks and the bars that heaved with revellers.
For five years I wrestled with the great philosophical questions. This battle drove me into the depths of insanity, my mind pushed beyond the limits of human endurance. The low point was ten days of madhouse time. But, phoenix-like, I recovered. Eventually I came to answer every philosophical question I had ever asked, and to answer them to my absolute satisfaction.
As per the prophecy outlined in Plato’s Republic, I began my true life’s work – of liberating other fragments of consciousness from suffering – at age 35. This was primarily achieved through my work with the VJM Publishing company page, which has allowed me to reach hundreds of thousands of readers.
This work has allowed me to share the knowledge gleaned from gazing beyond. Perhaps most importantly, it has allowed me to connect with others who have also seen beyond. Soon it became clear that there was a great need for those who have seen the light at the end of the tunnel to carry this knowledge into the mainstream.
As per the prophecy outlined in Zarathustra, I now intend to return to the world, at age 40, having accumulated enough wisdom to have liberated myself from suffering. Liberating oneself is wonderful, but sitting on that knowledge, like Smaug guarding his hoard of gold, cannot satisfy any man, much less one who is getting old. It’s necessary to share it.
The objective for the next decade will be to return to the world and to liberate other fragments of consciousness from suffering. This will be achieved by sharing the Good News of Elementalism, which is that all suffering is temporary, having been dreamed up by the gods for the sake of entertainment.
There are a great many people suffering immensely for want of the wisdom I have, especially that which has been gathered under the rubric of Elementalism. Popular culture is a spiritual death trap that leads people away from the truths that would alleviate their suffering. I will return as the man with the key to the metaphysical shackles of the masses.
In the coming decade, my work will be a lot more personal than in the previous decade. Instead of writing in the abstract from my hut in the mountains, I will again be among the people. Only this time, it will be with a new set of motivations, intentions and aspirations.
The great vision quest of the 2010s is complete. I have spent many years sleeping during the day, smoking weed and howling at the Moon during the night. I have broken my mind down and rebuilt it more times than I can remember. The time for such work is past. Now begins a new era of contributing to the Great Work – an age of bearing light, rather than seeking it.
I will bring tidings of a glorious new spiritual age. There is a great wave of light passing around the world, initiating people into a spiritual order of those who have seen beyond. I intend to catch this wave and to ride it for as long as I can.
As per the prophecy outlined in Republic, by the age of 50 a man should have enough wisdom, justice, courage and temperance to play a role in the ruling class of his people. I cannot know if I will possess these virtues in another ten years. But in any case, I will work from now until then to alleviate the suffering of other fragments of consciousness.
I shall henceforth seek to entertain the gods by playing my role: that of a man who seeks to liberate his fellows from suffering. My Minor and Major Aspirations are in accordance.
