Part LXXIII

“If the question was easy to answer, psychologists and coaches would not have a job. I have seen a few things though, that make achieving purpose and clarity next to impossible: Irrational anger, health problems or guilt can certainly cripple us.

Part LXXII

“The only question that seems to matter on happiness seems to be exactly that: how do we achieve a state where we just drift into nothingness, unafraid and content with the life we lived. Anything that doesn't bring us closer to this goal, is of less importance.

Part LXXI

“Who goes most freely into the dark? Who´s last breath is a sign of satisfaction, no fear, no guilt, just a satisfied revisit of past achievement and .We recently saw that pastor Phelps, the patriarch of the Westboro Baptist Church, repented in his last moments after preaching hate his whole life. We are brave in our ignorance if reality is far away, but what do we truly believe when the final moment comes?¨

Part LXX

“We return to our cliché´s again. The one thing of value we have is time. If we don't live for the afterlife maybe we should live for the moment just before: the moment we lie there, surrounded by our family, and our life is flashing before us, if in this moment we can say we feel content, happy and at easy, maybe our life had some purpose after all.

Part LXVIII

“It took 2000+ years, the enlightenment, the scientific revolution and the inclusion of marginalised groups to open our eyes to something that is made abundantly clear by hurricanes and earthquakes; we are nature. We are part of the food web, our bodies degrade and are consumed back into the earth.

Part LXVII

“Our religions have steadily moved away from the idea that we are a part of nature. Some animism has seeped into Hinduism and Shintoism but most religions now focus on how humans are opposite or better than nature, amplifying the message that we are the only entities that have any form of divine connection.

Part LXVI

“We have a difficult relationship with our biology since it reminds us that we are still a part of nature. We come to life helpless and leave this earth without any control and everything in between is our short rebellion against the conclusion that we are not in control.

Part LXIII

“We went from animism and a place inside the natural world to organised religion and a place above or outside nature. Where did we go wrong? Our cities are testaments to how far we are removed from the natural world.¨

Part LXV

“Is there more to be found there? What other things did our ancestors intuitively figure out and write down in a metaphorical way? We cannot imagine what their senses must have been like, being so close to nature.

Part LXIV

“We teach competition and to beat them all

We teach accumulation, but what's in you heart

Is love and compassion for all your kin

Every single movie ends, you see the good guys win

Every indescribable sov ng that you feel in your heart

Stronger than accumulation is compassion and love

Hard wired down to the core we are

Hard wired down to the cornea¨

Soja, life support

Part LXIII

“Some of the most successful ancient cooperating species are all around us. Many animistic old religions include talking or communicating trees, and they turn out to be more right than wrong. Scientist have found that trees use fungal networks in their roots to share nutrients, chemicals, and may even warn each other from pests and dangers.

Part LXIII

“Does competition even really exist? The maple sapling that is the most efficient in conquering enough space and sunlight for itself to grow, leaving another one behind, is not trying to kill the other one. It is just a side effect of the ´struggle´. Innocent until proven guilty.

Part LXII

“It is likely that the very first beings, single celled organisms that became capable of some sort of reproduction, did this through cooperation, and the efficient sharing of available resources. Focussing on competition likely would have just meant death.

Part LXI

“Monopoly and the selfish gene bring us to a fundamental question: competition or coöperation? Many passages of the selfish gene have since been debunked by science. It seems that coöperation has played a more important role in evolution than coöperation after all.

Part LX

“Another great example of the Mandela effect is where we all seem to think that the monopoly man has a monocle, when he was never designed with one. The game of monopoly tells us a lot more about our collective psyche, since it was originally designed in 2 versions: a more and less ruthless capitalist one. It says a lot that the second one went on to be the popular game we play today.

“Live from Earth”

Script tattoo

3 x 11 cm

Chest

Part LX

“It once again underscores that the line between fiction and reality is thin, and that sometimes fiction, stemming from its ability to impact our real lives, can be more real than real life.

Part LX

“Where it gets weird is the moments this doesn't happen. The mandela effect describes a process of collective misconception, where we all think something is a certain way, but it is not, like the commonly believed untrue fact that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980´s
