Have Henrik and Nigel made a potentially revolutionary discovery? Yes, of course understanding how the stars affect the increasingly complex and paramount issue of global climate change is wonderful. But does chilling present the same sort of potential global change in the social realm of human existence? I think yes.
Imagine if you would a world in which we all chilled. Can you even? It's quite hard I think, because each of our realities is in some way predetermined or influenced by some other individual's desires (be it parents, friends, colleagues, bosses) or some confluence of individual desires (be it the perpetuation of institutional racism, heteronormativity, capitalism). But what if we all retired from scheming, controlling, and conquering each others' personal autonomy and just chilled out. Imagine! Chilling: a prescription for revolutionary social change and an end to global suffering. Ambitious? Naive? Impractical? Let's find out together. Chillers of the world unite!
When you talk about personal autonomy, institutional racism and stuff, I chill a lot. Justice turns me on.
ReplyDeleteIf more people chilled, our G(g)od(s) would come in the form of values from the illumination of chilling, of self-reflection AND not in the form of instilling fear in our brothers' hearts because we fear falling from grace ourselves. The world would be a better place. You are so right, chillah FunkBro.
Sing along with me now to our second single: CHILL THE WORLD -
"Chill the World, Make it a Kick-Ass Place
For you and for me and the Entire Human Race
There are people stressing. If you care enough for the chilling
Make a Better Place for you and For me."
"
Non-chiller is abbreviated to "non-er"
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How does a non-er learn to be a chiller?
The entirety of the solar system showering down to each individual.
ReplyDeleteIs God the spirit of chill?
Many of the qualities of a chiller philosophy are godly but that does not make chillerdom godly or God the spirit of chill. We chill for the good in humans to come out, and some of that 'good' we perceive is not of God necessarily. As we know :)
ReplyDeleteTo chill is to accept. To accept is to be aware of and make your own. What is own but emotion? The only true emotion exists in the deeper, darker subconscious. It is not coloured happy or good.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a God, this place is his fundamental creation.
You don't have to love to accept. So, I think a/the God would put love before acceptance as a fundamental principle so that acceptance is a manifestation/by-product of love. This is where God's universality comes from, not tolerance let alone acceptance because you could argue that he wants no acceptance of the other because He is supreme. Think Christian crusades. Think Islamic jihad. But I do see where your view comes from.
