ENDURING ETERNITY: COMFORTABLY NUMB

As Immortal Spiritual Beings our problem is how to endure eternity: All- Knowing, All Seeing, All-Creating. How do we avoid the Eternal Pain of Knowing before the outcome of the events that we cause?  This  is Boredom. — the Deadliest Disease of Immorality. The end of every game is predetermined –the Affliction of The Gods. Pretend that we do NOT know? The elixir for our self-crated affliction is a lie. We know that we know. We pretend we do not. Ignorance is bliss. Pretense is the numbing drug. Lie to yourself. The pain of Eternal Boredom will desist, if you persist…. persist….. persist….. Be numb to it.  Be numb.  Lie to yourself.  Do not know what you know…..

These are the lyrics to the song by Pink Floyd, “Comfortably Numb“:

“Hello,

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone home?

Come on

Now

I hear you’re feeling down

I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again

Relax

I’ll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move

But I can’t hear what you’re saying

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like

Two balloons

Now I’ve got that feeling once again

I can’t explain

You would not understand

This is not how I am

I… Have become comfortably numb

O.K.

Just a little pin prick

There’ll be no more aaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do believe it’s working

Good

That’ll keep you going through the show

Come on

It’s time to go

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move

But I can’t hear what you’re saying

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown

The dream is gone

I… Have become comfortably numb
