finding God requires killing God. you need to kill YOUR god, your PERSONAL god. the one most closest and dearest to you. (killing other's God's is easy in comparison and is often a displacement cope hobby)

e.g. many depressed hoomans, atheist or otherwise worships the idea of of a interventional god. "oh lord above, i have repented and suffered so much already, won't u send down some Literal Magic to make my life happy? if not, can u at least smite those heathens w/ suffering?"

the desire for Something to Happen misses how something is always happening. e.g. "var this = " makes no sense. you need "var this = null" or "var this = undefined" u can't just "have" and "contain" nothing b/c Actual Nothingness cannot arise in consciousness

when the hooman is part of a story the hooman is happy. that is, hoomans desire meaning because they desire happiness. if they have happiness then they are no longer Needy for Meaning

they no longer NEED for something else to happen which allows them to actually SEE what IS happening which allows them to take steps towards ACCEPTING what is happening. e.g. the end of their puny one single life

"God" is what takes all the nothingness and molds it into a Meaningful Something. it can be brittle and dissolve into meaningless just as adding or removing a semicolon can break source-code.

however the INTERPRETER is arguably more important than the code itself. the interaction of interpreter and interpretee creates the interpretation. the story is refracted out of a primordial sea of ideashttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1349454308668968961 …

YOUR "Act of Creation" thus is less about finding or writing the Right Code but about removing the crutch that is relying on Someone Else's Compiler. Does YOUR code that u imagine in ur head crash when you miss a semicolon? no.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1354645552621785089 …

w/e it is that is interpreting as "me" is arguably the most powerful compiler b/c it creates meaning out of anything. this requires accepting that the raw material that you are working with is intrinsically meaningless

and also requires delving into why exactly you handicapped yourself as to need the crutch what was the original wound that prompted the thought "i NEED this to happen because i am a Victim"https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1299607833814605826?s=20 …

as an aside, note that many people who try to take control of their process of interpretation actually fall into a "near enemy" trap. that of creating a "Virtual Machine" that creates a virtual world that runs on a base substrate.

this virtual world creates the illusion of control over the interpretation because as long as the boundaries of the virtual world remain intact then the end result is very similar. thus the violently patrolled boundaries outside the field of lilieshttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1360619313976147972?s=20 …

the discerning trick here is that a virtual machine requires a lot of active energy. power/control make for a strong border. however true power over the process of interpretation ironically leads to not NEEDING anything b/c everything can be acceptedhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1375343131508404225 …
