If there was a night I have to pinpoint in my life as one of the turning points, it was the night of January 15th in 2011, which was tonight. Tonight changed my life.
It was a Friday evening and I was excited to see KP, who came back from his BKK tour, and Steve again. As per usual, we planned to chill over at Steve’s with a round of Wee-J’s (grass joints). I was never a fan of Wee-J’s since it has never worked for me but tonight was different. Maybe I was a bit too tired or maybe this wee-j was strong but after a few puffs, KP and I were in another world.
I was never a listener when it comes to conversations over at Steve’s. I used to be busy daydreaming about an online relationship, thinking about writing new songs or wondering if there was anything at work I have to do the next day. Tonight was different. Highly strung, five of us had a conversation.
The topic was kinda strong to be honest but it’s amazing how five of us agreed to it open mindedly. It was about how religion is a form of cover of scientific truths in life. Religions over the world have formed a believable figure in order for people to have a justification between rights and wrongs. If it wasn’t for religion, we’d be murdering each other senseless whenever we want to; well, not that some of us are not already doing that despite the existence of religion. We did not say anything bad about religions, but we were pretty much inquisitive about the contents in the religious manuscripts.
I read the revelation in the Bible and freaked out. The contents have NOTHING to do with what’s normally in the rest of the Bible. It sounded emotional and futuristic. Seven candlesticks?? Second death? Now, this reminds me of how in Burmese people said that ‘people from the sky’ helped build the Shwedagon pagoda. First of all, isn’t it amazing how most historic buildings in the world is triangular in shape and have a bit of a ‘precious’ stone on top. Shwedagon has a diamond on top. Some pyramids in Egypt have some zinc or something on top. Second, we are all limited by so much vocabulary that the observant failed to describe the ‘people from the sky’. Who are they actually? How did they travel? Somewhere along the lines of this mystery, my friends and I couldn’t help wondering time travel exists and parallel universe is something we have yet to discover. God is everywhere. Buddha teleports. What if that’s one clever person who manages to go beyond the limited capacity that all of us are in?
I know this is stupid and I kinda blame the highness of the Wee-J and the post breakup stress but I picked up a hobby I have totally forgotten I had. Reading. I came home and read a Dan Brown. 80 pages in an hour from a guy who’s only read 10 pages in two hours before and leave the book. I don’t know.. reading can be so much fun actually.
