yeah no for sure all love 
to give it one more honest try before we inevitably open this conversation again in a few months–
my position: there is truth and meaning in how manifestations of an immaterial force differ and how they are alike; this extends to manifestations of power, violence, and evil. it also extends to things less germane to this conversation, like love, kindness, etc. the truth and meaning may reveal something about the force itself or it may reveal more about what it means to be human.
my reasoning: history has a long reach and we are living in history. events long ago continue to affect us in ways we both do and do not comprehend. likewise, seemingly disparate contemporary events may have a symmetry or dialectical relationship we haven’t understood yet. in fact, you may classify my reasoning as more of a negative sentiment than a positive one in that i simply don’t have the knowledge to definitively say two things are not relate. all i have is intuition.
my politics: i think ideology and materialism are in a cybernetic loop and it is unwise to cleave the two. the esoterica we’re talking about falls into the ideological part of that spectrum.
what this looks like ontologically: taking everything into account and questioning the relation, even if that relation only exists for the subject (i.e., i don’t believe astral projection exists, but what does it mean that the cia thinks it might?)
what this looks like practically: i don’t know. i try to be love people and volunteer when i can. i also carry around a heavy resignation that is probably not good for me or my loved ones. humanity has done so much harm to each other and the world.
what you need to believe in order for any of this to make sense: that there is more to life than what we see
my biases: i read a lot, so perhaps this is just me trying to apply a unifying theory to my own life.
my concessions: i am an “artist,” so perhaps this all works better or is more effective through gesture and conjecture in literature than it does in argument.
my hypocrisies: whether or not two things deserve to be “related” to each other is entirely up to my discretion and i reserve the right to ignore people when they say, for example, that my decision to take out student loans to pay off credit card debt is related to my current financial position.
my summary: the only honest position one can take in life is “well, i don’t know.”
my right: to change my mind.
my request: be nice to me, i am but a man.
