1. The physical world was dreamed up by God to entertain the gods.
2. The imperative to entertain the gods is why there is something rather than nothing.
3. The gods watch on from higher dimensions where we cannot normally perceive them. Yet, they perceive us, as we would perceive actors in a play or on a screen.
4. The hierarchy of beings and the hierarchy of consciousness are hierarchies of how well a fragment of consciousness entertains the gods. Cats and consciousnesses of gold entertain the gods the most; insects and consciousnesses of lead entertain the gods the least.
5. Life struggles primarily to entertain the gods, and not to survive or reproduce.
6. The struggle to survive and reproduce is merely the backdrop for something infinitely more meaningful: the entertainment of the gods.
7. The gods are primarily entertained by that which unexpectedly rises above.
8. As such, the two major components of the entertainment of the gods are novelty and surprise.
9. The gods are immensely entertained by that which they have never seen before.
10. The gods are also immensely entertained by unexpected behaviour in that which they have seen before.
11. The gods expect us to fail, on account of that we are mortals.
12. We were created to fail, so that it would be surprising if we succeeded. As such, any genuine success entertains the gods.
13. The gods are not entertained by those who meekly accept their fate. Such weaklings are, to the gods, indistinguishable from insects.
14. The gods are mildly entertained by those who overcome physical challenges. Great athletes are entertaining, but only mildly so.
15. The gods are moderately entertained by those who overcome emotional challenges. Those born into shit families but who manage to make decent lives for themselves are moderately entertaining.
16. The gods are highly entertained by those who overcome intellectual challenges. Scientists who push back the boundaries of human ignorance are highly entertaining.
17. The gods are immensely entertained by those who overcome spiritual challenges. Spiritual revolutionaries who repudiate religious falsehoods are immensely entertaining.
18. The gods are most of all entertained by great beings who alter the course of history. When a Buddha, an Alexander, a Caesar, a Napoleon or a Hitler rise up, all the gods watch on.
19. The gods are least of all entertained by people who conflate the Great Masculine Axis with the Great Feminine Axis.
20. The worse the family, neighbourhood, community or national situation one is born into, the greater one’s opportunity to entertain the gods by rising above it. The Elementalist, therefore, does not resent being born into bad families, neighbourhoods, communities or nations.
21. Let the entertainment of the gods be the meaning of our lives!
