I’m here to get tips for writing better, especially on Substack. Sadly, it seems I’d have to move to NYC. Jokes aside, this brought tears and smiles. Thanks!
Do you know what, i heard a story from kain Ramsay an nlp teacher and he tells a tale about his days in the war. A man who didn’t believe in god or anything was shot. So, as he began to pass away he told Kain of the fear that he had no idea where he was going to end up when he passed away.
Kain tells of how the man was overcome with fear, not knowing.
Since i heard that story it made me think.
Now i was raised in house where we had no church or any other religion, we where kind of free to believe in what we wanted.
So, it made it look at what i did believe in and i came to conclusion of this.
I now believe that the soul will either reside in heaven or we will come back as man or animal.
We can wear our selves trying to know how it will go. So, i figure i going to make a path way that i believe is the best one and stick with it.
Why make passing away worse than it needs to be.
Why not create something beautiful, why not have an almost fairy tale story for it.
And at the end of the day, my kids will laugh at my joke that i’m bring us all back as a family of skunks.
It should make for some laughter in a time of sadness.
So, what i’m really trying to say is this, forget the so called facts and make up your wish for a time we really don’t want to come but will one day. For on your passing you may not feel the same fear as the man who Kain held his hand as he fear the unknown.
I love that story. Thank you for sharing and recommending My Last Breath. I can’t wait to start it. For me, it’s The Exterminating Angel. It was my first Bunuel. I had never seen anything like it before. That movie opened up a new world for me.
Hi, ive never read your works but i would like to - its just a matter of waiting to find one of your books in a second hand book shop, which i never do, so i guess thats a testament to how good they are. I really admire how you have stood up to the religious fanatics and you inspire me to do so to when Im older. For now i content myself writing essays on the topic and making them public. If you have the time, if you are interested, could you read this essay and tell me what its missing? https://open.substack.com/pub/violetavfuster/p/why-i-am-an-atheist?r=44aqr9&utm_medium=ios
I have seen that eyeball scene, but only because it was part of an exhibit on surreal art in a museum in Copenhagen (or possibly Stockholm)- The scene made a far greater impression on me than the country in which the museum was located apparently.

Lives matter.
Salman Rushdie is on Substack? Wth.

Atheism is for the lazy thinker.

Thank u for sharing these beautiful experiences. Is there more to come?
As a former roommate of mine once said, “if a man wants to be an atheist, that's between him and his God.”
I hear Rushdie speak on a NY Times interview. And then a friend gifted this Starbucks pod cast to me. Thank you R & T for this gift. kit

I feel exactly the same way about this blog. I actually received an acknowledgment from General Milley.
I think it’s amazing that we as individuals can put our brains together on this site. I hope we do some good.
Something Meister Eckhart…waaaayyyyy back in time, would have said 🤔
Words, in their trickyness, pull on the soul…
And it feels good 👍 😌
🥹🧐🥺
What does that mean?
