What hurts?

If my greatest misfortune were of not feeling sunlight.

*I think my priorities are finally in order.

But when you saw me and pretending you did not notice.

I did.

I noticed you not noticing me.

But today, it means something greater than you expected of me.

I still said hello.

And from this place,

I feared you.

Even if my pride.

See you, around the sun.

Only words

I am in this shadow of my former self.

(I can not escape this shape I'm in.)

I do not avoid, what happened.

Only because it avoids me.

And when it does (happen).

It is always fate that guides me to the next, shadowy figure.

I'm not crazy.

Because you think, I am.

I never let go of myself during times of greater crisis.

I've gone through time and time again.

But when I walk

I am sure to walk through that open gate,

that if heaven?

I am through.

I am, through.

Through it all, as always.

As I always will and had been.

Fortunate to be among shadows,

of something like - a shadow.

Though not my own.

So I am a bringer of light.

And this light has brought me to this place

in time.

Where I fight with these words.

These words that expess my shadow,

as not the shadow.

I find words.

That mean that the words themselves speak

- speak to angels.

And only angels.

And if I were as these words are made to suffer,

after all this time I've spent hearing them.

In my mind.

(This is light.)

I wish to be here, forever.

Forever, wanting more...

More words to revere and reveal the true nature of wisdom.

As words can only do.

As rule as law ~ is you are not what you think

I see things.

I can see things most don't.

Because I do not try to rationalize,

what is my existence.

I simply, am.

What is I don't know...

- is the feedback given.

I get signs from many things,

and these many things,

are many - many other things.

I would either do or do not, think of -

of why those things affect me.

My personal responsibility,

is to tie the knot on a roap.

(That between these thoughts.)

I climb back to where I began,

from the rope - this same roap,

only I can imagine climbing.

If (first) not passion (before) dissappearing

 April 14th 2025

Tonight, I am stepping into my own confessional.  

The facts about who I am.

I am single.

I have never been happier.

Life is not unfair.  I lead a privileged life to no one else's detriment.  What is I mean by that is - to be fair - I am no different in my life than that of a look-a-like.   I don't lead a double life. I am a proud individual.  This alone confuses many people that fail to really know me.

The reason for saying this is simple.

I have been resented for being who I am in life.  Yes.  

However, the rules of life have never been more prominent to me, than to those who seek it for personal gain.  Think of it as our capitalist aims in life.  This juxtaposes how I feel about my growth.  Growth is something I have aimed for in terms of my authenticity. 

The lesson here is this:

I feel I am an artist.  A poet.  A philosopher.  A writer.  An actor (strictly in the Shakespearean sense of the word.)  This is what I have come to in life.

REWIND (2min ago):  As I mentioned herein, already having stated: I am resented. 

FAST FOWARD (to now): if I never accomplish anything other than becoming a failure as an artist. . . I will be more than happy in my grave of rest.  

MY POINT??:  MY point (the endgame) is this.  I have been written off by some.  None too many.  I know I have everything I want in life.  That is why I am resented.  For knowing this.  That's the difference between me and the trend setters. . . I'm on brand.  They are also.  But the trends are for losers that think they know me. (That's how this ends.)  

I am use to having love in my life for no better past.  MY present is a beautiful disaster.  The future - is a secret.  

But because you may still be reading this - it is not a letter to you.  IT is not a feel sorry for myself diary.

This is about typically ending the stereotype or what is prejudice against me.  I refuse to be your victim.  I play that role to no one's interest. 

Here is the confession: I confess, that I live a privileged life.  I really have nothing other than that to confess.  I believe we are in constant renunciation.  Although this renunciation is NOT a purge.  The purge against me has been on for too too long.  I am who you want me to be.  Confessionals can be tricky things.  You can never  tell what the truth is.  But - this.  This is me.  Undoubtedly.  (But do you know what a contradiction is.)

Pentecost

 This is for my grandmother Marta, who was the most devoted relgious god loving woman I have ever known. If I have ever learned what it means to be what is gods name... it is her.

To my fearless and borderline ferocious uncle Anibal Martins who undoubtedly helped instil my faith in god.

My grandfather's David Almeida and Adriano Bastos who mutually respected each other with wisdom and their hearts. I share this bond in what is being a man I am.

My dear Benilde, who loved me unconditionally and I think of often... you should still be here with us my amor.

My godmother Natercia Bastos. I will do your service. You above everyone in my god forsaken life. You believed I was special and you totally totally thought I was one of a kind. I will honor this. My work is not done.

To my parents. Who I would die for.

My sister Marta, her spouse and my nephews. I will protect.

My family in Van town.

All Portuguese aunts, uncles Justino - Antonio - Fernando - Alberico - my cousins Pedro - Tonito. Muitas saudes queridos.

This time of year means the world to me.

- Marco

Fade to black

 I can't compete. I don't think this of me. It is what I think.

What is me, the real me.

Is that I don't care if the world sees me.

What I care about is knowing.

Knowing the difference for what is not a justification for caring.

I care. A lot.

And if I say anything is it because I care mostly more than some people do.

I say, 'yes'.

Yes, I can say I care more than you.

And it is because of this spirit, this free spirit of mine.

This nature of (what is).

What is, Marco.

(end)

Part II

The injustices, the prejudices about who I am compared to what is. I fear none of it. I fear - only god.

Let god. God decide who between your bitter rival and yourself is the better choice.

I fear nothing.

Not now. Not ever.

Part III

That is the greatest thing about, me.

That it is precisely because I care, that the caring never goes away.

And yet, (you know the type) the kind of people that care the most.

Get taken advantage of.

That is not, however, a weakness.

You see the confusion? (my confusion is.)

The source of being liked for who I am and what is.

That's where the final answer is.

The answer to god's purpose in this is.

I know for a fact that god made me to care about things I can't control.

And this is how I will die.

Part IV (epilogue)

And in this Shakespearean dichotomy (if you are still reading. . .)

is to be the example you crave.

Do not confuse being as an example.

Commit yourself to you. To you and you only, Marco.

Marco, my child.

This is why god sees you, because you care more than most.

(Most that do, do not know the difference.) And this is, more powerful than your relationship to god.

To care about those things that most of those - those that do not. Everyone knows this about you. Think about it.

That time you believed and than had it taken away from you. For a second - for if even a second in time, that you had god renounce you for it The moment you believed in something less than god. Where does this leave you.

It elevates my thoughts about other people and what they are missing because it is me who lost their sense of becoming. And then you realize that the sense of being, is found.

Found in your most intimate secret. A secret you never had until now.

And that is god in me.

(Because I care.)

But, because I have failed god and I probably will so many time more.

I always go back to god.

(And that is how I care.)

Because most people don't know why.

Faith is my greatest of assets.

And this is why I am blind.

Until the day I see.

Irony in a sovereign asceticism

 “For one does not become a man through science, art or religion—to say nothing of philosophy—but through a self-conscious rejection of happiness, through a fundamental inability to be happy.”

-Emil Cioran

If I am an extortionist (the opposite of an ascetic for purpose in making my point) and I am acting as what is a dictator without which boundaries are not intended nor made. That makes for 'recreation' in the event they mass commit to murdering people in war. I question Nietzsche cause in everything he ever expected us to understand through reading his philosophy. There is a larger scope to make sense of here. To be a leader of the MAGA movement today, brands you a hero. The cause nor purpose of my reason for saying it is not insufferable of me to say so. Therefore, I am like 'most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster:" Further to Nietzsche disparaging position in this, as example of a professional extortionist "to play with burdens that would crush all others." This appears fallacious as if to say the war effort is justified in Iran right now. Evangelicals' are the real terrorists.

- Marco

 Reverse psychology

Dream state as equilibrium

 Acting

I heard this and instantly thought to myself, why.  Why haven't I - I in my most vulnerable state informing other's through my body.  That, in contextually interpreting the conscious mind of others, my observations are not as subconsciously driven to what is the agreement for social contract (is).  

My point is being true or not - people don't act as if they are in a dream state in real life, how does that convert into real time is another question entirely/.

What concerns me more is how he states equilibrium is something you can not achieve as focus or concentration.  To make contact or regulate the senses (register impulse) is something completely normal.  

I concern myself as an artist connecting to my personal faith.  My faith in others does not confuse me to the end of having a relationship to god.  It is the ancient most fundamental way for symbolizing what acting is.

To live as if you are in a dream state is something that takes skill.  Not acting.  I have never met an acting coach who is equally instructive to my purpose as to find what true acting is, because (most acting instructors) don't have the skill.

Meditation as movement

 With respect to what is movement in ideas from the unknown. That my ideas are a byproduct before, not after - any altered state of mind taking place. We are the universe in movement with what is living in ourselves. That much can be seen and felt with the heart. In my mind we call this form. In the outside world we see it as art.

Prayer

 It is not in life as in my fangs.

It is because my blood thirsty fangs,

measure what is I want god to feel.

If I had the power to make god 'feel'.

Feel how grateful I am for the sensations he gives me.

The same sensations I want to believe are hers.

And that in receiving that kind of power,

god's wishes I fulfill.

She is pleased.

And for this I feel everything.

My purpose (Marco)

Church of the Holy Sepulcher

Church of the Holy Sepulcher  
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem — the church that stands today over the traditional sites of both the crucifixion and the resurrection — has a foundation story that most visitors standing inside it have never heard.

When Constantine became the first Christian Emperor in 312 AD one of the first things he wanted to do was locate and honour the physical sites of the death and resurrection of Jesus. He turned to his mother Helena — one of the most remarkable women in the history of the early church. Helena was approximately 75 to 80 years old when she undertook the journey to the Holy Land in 326 AD. She had converted to Christianity earlier in life and was known for her deep personal faith and her extensive charity work — founding churches, ransoming prisoners and caring for the poor throughout the empire. Constantine gave her unlimited access to the imperial treasury for her mission. In Jerusalem Helena sought out the site of the crucifixion and tomb — guided by local Christian tradition that had preserved the memory of the locations through nearly 300 years of Roman occupation. The site she identified was occupied by a temple built by the Emperor Hadrian around 135 AD during his rebuilding of Jerusalem — a pagan temple deliberately constructed to suppress Christian veneration of the site. Hadrian's strategy had backfired. Rather than erasing the memory of the location, the prominent pagan temple had actually preserved it — marking the spot so clearly that local Christians never lost track of where it was. Helena reported her findings to Constantine. He ordered Hadrian's temple demolished and excavation of the site begun. Ancient sources record that during the excavation a tomb was discovered consistent with the gospel accounts — cut into rock, with a rolling stone entrance. Constantine commissioned the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — a magnificent basilica complex incorporating both the site of the crucifixion and the tomb — which was consecrated in 335 AD. The church has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over the centuries — by the Persian invasion in 614 AD, by the Caliph al-Hakim in 1009 AD, and partially by the Crusaders who rebuilt it in the 12th century. The structure standing today incorporates elements from multiple historical periods but rests on Constantine's original foundation. An elderly woman in her late seventies. An imperial mission. A pagan temple that accidentally preserved the location it was meant to erase. And a church that has stood — in one form or another — for nearly 1,700 years over the site where the resurrection occurred.

The truest mark of genius

 

Church

 Church is a community based concept in all of time' (historic). If you think for a minute that you are not welcome there. You are the problem. This means you believe in one god everyone believes in related to the monotheistic regime. This also means the 3 main religions.

If you consecrate yourself to something, then take the same position that someone (else) doesn't have the right to express there religions regardless for who or where. You are a bigot. Simple.

My point is where does it matter where or how someone worships. But the minute you say it 'belongs' someplace because you don't like it. That's not how religion works. That is not the reality.

Church ⛪

April 11th 2013

 The reason I write as is my experience of it described here:

"With age and experience we learn to use words with caution."

"We misuse them, put them back to front without noticing, until one day we discover they are as threadbare as old clothes, we feel ashamed of them, just as I can recall being ashamed of trousers I once wore with frayed bottoms which were meticulously trimmed every week to disguise the constant repairs."

"I believe that in writing these pages I have shown some concern for words and the way they are used."

"Before, I hardly ever used the word "love,"

And when I did, the word did not refer to me, or only to part of me."

"Now that it really concerns me, why should I not be cautious?"

"I would even go so far as to mask the word if necessary, use other words, as in those anagrams we composed in primary school to act as props so that the real world might emerge and flourish."

"However, having given this some thought,

I prefer to invoke the word "love" loud and clear and see what happens."

- Jose Saramago

the French language (standard deviation :: a critique)

 French dialect is a challenge. My personal thesis: : 'of the French language'. . .

Its inventive nature often requires as "something-or-other" of itself interest, which can not be surrounded as non-specific narrative related to linguistically reduced terminology. (In logic is called non-sequitur) My point being that to understand French ideals, there is no parallel between French and English literature. (Non-sequitur) Think about you putting language into a box. (If true, then the box is closed.) With your conscious mind, incredibly you failed in not considering it open, even with or without being told about this box. There is no idea stored in the box. You just want to get this 'hidden' idea out of it! (Did you fail to realize what is in the box?) I never told you - in which case you were guarded against seizing the box, what if then, you decided to alter what's inside of it - instead. This is French without the logic at work. (Deliberately charged non-sequitur can work in language.)

My question when reading French philosophers: What is the speaker trying to relate to me on subconscious level? The French like to romanticize this as a love affair, with language, out of its own poetically charged neo-liberal cause. I think of this as 'the particular or peculiarity of language in a transfer of non-sequitur.)

This archetypal language acts opposite in search of natural criticism toward it. This "opposite" (i.e. mystery) of the French dialect compels me to believe the literature as something that is best read as imagined without words. This allows me to describe what is the language (e.g. what acts as information) can be interpreted, into various forms of thought. What I am arguing, that invariably speaking French made literature offers its own dimension of how thought metaphorically intercedes for its reader. What is taking place goes beyond reasoning. This would help understand the challenges of reading inspired as French literature as a whole. Just my observations.

I, the confessor

April 11th 2026

If I must. I would go to hell to face Netanyahu, Trump or Putin myself. Only to make sure they burn. If god were to refuse me, I would end at the gates of hell just to be sure those that killed so many on earth are purposely made vile. I would do this on command, if it meant the death of the most vile perpetrators in since WWII. To execute this would be the ultimate sacrifice. This is why I fight the way I do.

This is me, the confessor. You think I am antisemitic, let's see how far that gets you. You're just some MAGA clone. I know in my heart what is right from wrong.

And what my point is - if I am wrong. I am willing to accept that I am. Only in the eyes of god. That yes, I would totally sacrifice myself for the killing of others who are innocent. It is because of this I have no care in the world for people that 'like' me or not.

IF you don't like me, care for what I say or express what I think. It doesn't bother me, since I don't mind what happens.

IF there is a god, she knows what this is. It's about honor. I need no one's sympathy. I am perfectly sane.

I am Catholic and will die Catholic. I will not accept false beliefs. Let me be wrong. I am sick of this. Especially towards those without a spine for these matters. Immaterial of god.

My wish is that may those who need to be held responsible for their crimes -are. And that I am a sinner for it. Burn in hell. I'll meet you there first, you cowards.
