The performance theory.

Saturday, September 7, 2024

We begin at conception. Then we are born into a delivery room. Then we travel to the crematorium. That’s the story of life. That’s all folks. Wait a minute. This seems so silly.

The Origin seems to have forgotten itself in conception and birth. Surely a sex act cannot be the only reason why you are here. There must be more to life than paying bills, doing the shopping, going to work, and spending time with people. It seems like you are providing something in your life, doesn’t it? It seems like you’re supporting yourself, caring for those who “need” you, and keeping everything going. But don’t you see the laughable conspiracy? There is no need for you. As if your mother was caring and providing for you. As if you’re supporting yourself. As if you are making choices. All those acts are acts.

You are no more making anything happen than an actor is making things happen in a play. Actors play convincing roles, however. Yes, your parents performed a sex act. But does that account for why you’re really here? There is a deeper why. There is a deeper origin. It goes beyond the roleplay.

You and I, as individuals, are involved in a complex conspiracy. We just ignorantly agree that the surface is all there is. We agree that we’re somehow real in how we act, what we do, and who we are at the surface. Shallow reasoning makes life empty. Are you here because of the performance of a sex act? That’s the secret word – performance. You are performing. Do you ever wonder what’s backstage? Do you ever take off your costume, metaphorically speaking?

There is a conspiracy going on. Conspire means to breathe with or to be in harmony with. Surely The Origin of Life goes deeper than just the performance of a sex act.
