the goblin felt that his sleeping days were passed him now and he was so very much awake then, as he turned his mind back to what he had thought on this morning, as if feeling he should repeat it here, "...simply, I won't compromise anymore with this dailylife of mine, I'll accept our growing old like this, my becoming unemployed or retired, devoiced, those illnesses and handicaps, that loneliness and those ostracizements, even the deaths of near ones that is, in fact everything then, I'll accept anything or everything that this dailylife might choose to throw at me now, but know this too, this mind if anything is all sharpened by it, this pen is steadied by it, and this imagination escapes right through and beyond dailylife, for we are all prisoners of circumstance perhaps, yes, but do you think that I am as chained on the inside too, by all this circumstance then, MYAHAHAHAHA..." addressed the goblin to his dailylife again knowing that it could hurt or please as it wished, but that it didn't change the simply fact in retrospect, that to live on is to win on

the goblin was not sure what it was all about at this point, but sure, it would have to come across like outstandingly awesome, perhaps the ultimate thought itself inspired by the deepest of coffees even, and yet all the goblin could actually think about was his dailylife, dailylife, dailylife, "...ok I've rendered unto dailylife enough today don't you think, so could we have "awesome" for a moment..." shouted the goblin out of the blue to his dailylife but dailylife just changed the tune from the goblin's "home" to his "family" then his "work" on to his "money" back to his "home" again, thinking the goblin wouldn't notice the trick but the goblin did, and his resentment at it was so heartfelt at this point, crying "...no, this sheep is wise to that trick by now, can't I get more than dailylife each time..."

Something within me then fears all that they call "organized religion" for the fact that it organized, and thus trying to organize one too, saying "...how often do I feel that religion is an excuse not to find out for oneself then, and that ones connection within, to that which has always been there, is just ignored because of compliant towing of the given line here, and no, I won't believe in, nor go somewhere closer, nor pay something towards , anything outside of me, when you and I know it to be just "there within one without those preconditions" then..."

repost from elsewhere

the goblin wanted to support this site and therefore felt that some pictures were in order here, saying "...well yes, the pictures are there to help people with reading difficulties, whereas the texts are just there for those with mental problems, and for those with both I suppose I could link them to MTV if they so wished..."

("...he's a great actor..." replied the goblin now, adding "...I even used his picture for my heresy perhaps...")

repost from elsewhere,  on "predestination or free will"

"...wow, what a varied thread this is turning out to be then, and that's certainly the kind of post I was looking for here, xxxxx, I appreciate the time, effort and thought you taken here, and you're a credit to this site for sure, but the difference between that "child and his parent" example you give for the idea of "free will", is that  there's is the no separation between the man child and the god parent in my view, it more like the link between the head, shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, hand, finger, down to its end, simply all and everything was created by the same source here, each and every move was him, the continuity remains clear then, god is everywhere, in everything, allknowing and constant here, we cannot pretend otherwise, that there is somewhere he isn't, nor something he doesn't know now..." to which the goblin returned to his original point, that he simply ignored the afterlife because either, it belonged to the "predestination camp" where all was predetermined anyway, or it was in the "freewill" camp where it was a "points game", "...no thanks, heaven and hell are all some undetermined benchmark to me, but what I do know, where what one knows is all one can go on, is that if one does something solely upon its own merit then the resulting action are both honest in itself, and becomes too, a way to know oneself by it, so I do not need a reason to do good, for if I were to need one, I would be just dishonest and blind here...", somehow the goblin just remembered Jesus's words again that didn't make that roman bible "Why do you only wash the outside of the cup, don't you understand now that the one who made the outside is also the one who made the inside too", the goblin's journey to self had brought him this far then, dailylife was the outside of himself now, and what he sought was neither "up there", "over there", or "elsewhere" at all, it was just "inside" where it has always been

(and because the goblin normally posted in twos)

repost from elsewhere

the goblin simply reminded everyone that the usual secret to concluding a successful job interview, was to show interest in the job, to both say and wear the correct things, and generally to be yourself at all times, "...not that jobs are for life anymore anyway that is, but it generally works..." ventured the goblin at it
