    “The abyss hungers!”

    “Yeah, yeah, yeah! The infinite yawning abyss of darkness which lies within the soul of every living being and seeks to extinguish all that is good so that it can finally be perfectly alone in the endless silent void. We’ve all seen it, or will eventually. I’m late for my brunch.”

      “I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now; if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.” – Epictetus

      No, no, you’ve got it all wrong. The Abyss isn’t evil! The Abyss is our True Mother, who always looks after us with her watchful eye, and is ready to receive and embrace us into the comfort and rest of eternal oblivion, as soon as we are ready to return home to her!

      It is the delusion that the material world holds goodness, bounty, and pleasure for us that keeps us fearful of, and separate from, the unconditional love of the Great Mother, the Abyss.

          We all must wake up from the dream. Some of us wake up today, others wake up tomorrow, or many years from now, but everyone wakes up some day.

          The embrace of the Mother isn’t death, it is life. The material world is the true grave.

          Don’t weep for those who die, weep for the living!

          Those stuck in the dream want you to believe that what you see is real, because it’s by keeping us trapped in the dream that they are able to power the machine that allows them to extract as much false pleasure as they can from the dream for themselves.
