I was fatigued on this day. I went to sleep just before the sun at around 6 pm and woke up the next day just after the sun at around 7 am. I processed thoughts, took stock, and revised my knowledge. My unconscious spirit was kind -- took me on a lot of vivid journeys, whilst making me very aware that life is much shorter than I think it is.
One thing for sure, the best thing that has ever happened to me has been getting older successfully. In my youth I always feared getting older in a way that would be unsuccessful in my own eyes. Indeed, that was what had been happening to me for a long time. The years were slipping through my fingertips and I was not making any progress at all in advancing beyond my instilled hostility toward myself -- a feature of extreme Christianity.
Like the proverbial fox stuck in a trap, I had to tear myself apart to escape from a very confining cultural heritage.
That method is very scary. One also has to die to oneself and be born again. Otherwise a more complete atheistic spirituality is not going to be possible.
