*Nihilism is the belief that nothing we perceive has Absolute value; reality exists, but beyond its inherent meaning to us as the physical container of our existence, it has no significance outside of what we perceive. "The world is my representation," indeed. When we strip away all of the values projected onto physical reality and its outcomes by nature, we are left only with personal ideal and natural ideal, and bringing the former into adaptation with the latter is the lifetime task to which nihilism is a gateway.
*Agnosticism is not a religion or complete ethical system. It is simply a belief that we cannot prove either the existence or the non-existence of deity; (i.e. of one or more gods, one or more goddesses, or combinations of the above). Many Agnostics believe that we can never know about the existence of a deity. Others suggest that we cannot know anything about deity or deities at this time with the currently available evidence, but that this could conceivably change in the future.
A fine careful mixture of these two beliefs starts to define my own spirtual conatation. Both of these two idealisms center faintly on that the idea of a higher power is simply inconsivable. Being a cumbersome christian for the majority of my life I simply cannot absorb the idea that there is no higher power, but what idea I find myself standing on is that it is inconciveable to give the deity a name or a gender. I also believe that if there is a higher power it could not possibly be one omnipotent spirit, but rather an oligarchy of the spirits living, and long since passed. And not just of human spirts, or even of animals, but all living and dead lifeforms that ever excisted on any planet. This would make the deity I speak of seem at times and untill Ragnorak (end of the world, apocalypse, etc etc) incomplete, but this brings me to my next point.
Time is not lunar, at least not in my little world. It is instead circular. All the deicitions of any individual have allready been made. The Earth's creation, destruction and everything inbetween has allready happened. The reason time seems lunar to us is because reality and the sence of reality is played out for each indiviual. Invision yourself in a chair watching a huge revolving picture wheel. The wheel is there and has the visions of our reality because they have already happened, but are being revealed as if the hour we were living in was the oldest the earth had ever been.
I'll edit this later, im tired of thinking about it.
