Death Perspective

 Death Perspective

 By Claudia Berdella

It’s strange how death is viewed in a sad, negative light by the majority of people. Death is the natural and inevitable byproduct of life. Life is the great indulgence, that’s what makes it worth living. Death is the absence, the end of life; but the corpse will get repurposed and used by other forms of life found on earth. 

Humans are not the only animal saddened by death, but we are the ones who make a big deal about it. Take pigs or dogs for example. The difference is, humanity has a tendency to make things into ceremonies. And that is understandable but it’s incredibly demeaning in my opinion that most of it is dark, grim and depressing. Shouldn’t the ceremony celebrate the life someone lived while they could and hold it to their standard of achievement within it? It seems much more productive to celebrate life than make death a miserable end when in reality if you just live, death comes peacefully. Humans have a somewhat solipsistic perspective in they believe they are monoliths which will last forever and that death is a hinderance. I disagree, human impact is so incredible because of the biological clock we have. 

Like any other animals, man’s main goals are survival and the continuation of the species. Such makes sense and is honorable. However, due to the emotional development, death is viewed as an abominable event when it’s simply a natural inevitability. Of course, an animal will fight for its life when it needs to, or if not in the case of combat just find a peaceful spot to die. Of course I can’t and won’t discount grief experienced over loss, it’s understandable and makes absolute sense to care for one’s own. Personally though I am more or less indifferent to death at this point in life (and I have experienced it enough to be at this point), I cherish the people worthwhile while I can so I can be proud to say I knew them while they lived.

Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments

 Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments The stuff I made sure , and I mean very sure that it got into the book The Founding Of The Satanic Temple , was apparently deemed too obscene for selling and distribution which led to it being temporarily taken down . It just makes me realize how insane simple words are , they’re that powerful . I’ve always known that words hold a lot of weight (I am a writer after all ) , but never expected to be part of the reason dealing with such dark and taboo topics (eugenics , prez stuff , pretty much most of the darkest stuff in that book i made sure got in there ) and having it lead to Amazon trying to refuse to sell it over being too “obscene” . But , the fact that some simple words got the same sort of outcry that a swastika in public would receive is insane to me— the only difference is , is that the swastika is a symbol which evokes a multitude of emotional reactions , which on some level can be indescribable with words… although , the Germa

Hebrew, Not Christian

Hebrew, Not Christian (  לִוְיָתָן is  Hebrew for Leviathan) The word Satan in specific means a human adversary humans are fleshy and carnal animals, like any other. naturally, given that and the definition of the word Satan being a human adversary, Satanist would mean one that is adversarial to that which would deny the innate carnal and animalistic instincts humans have So, Satan coming from the Hebrew word for adversary, it’s not any one specific character. Satanism by it’s codification and definition of the word Satan stems from the idea of that adversary. Satanism is adversarial in that it promotes the life enriching things that have traditionally been given the devil’s name by both much of society and religious institutions. Greed, lust, nonconformity, rational self interest, humor, passion for living, atheism, being selective about who to love (or hate), self preservation, lex talionis/silver rule, third sides and uncomfortable alternatives… The Hebrew  SATANIC VERSES: The Adver

The Bottom Feeders Frenzy

  The Bottom-Feeders Frenzy [ 1 ] By Claudia Berdella This was the real secret. Annihilation. Nothing else. A chemical pulse that dissolved finally in violet light. No stories. Now we would always be frightened.   - Joseph Kanon, Los Alamos [ 2 ] As the Apex predator with zero competition or predatory threats to challenge, the human species is as a result a naturally destructive and hostile towards one another. Humans likely would not be able to survive if we stopped preying upon our own [ 3 ] .  Ever-lasting peace is unnatural . Humans are cannibalistic [ 4 ] in almost every sense of the word , however most do not like to even consider entertaining the notion of legitimately consuming another, though an argument can be made that the Catholics are the most prevalent practitioners of this taboo practice through their pseudo-enactment by eating the metaphorical body and blood of Christ at communion (and the Bible is quite pro-cannibalism at the core). People are cannibalistic in a more
