Josh Plovanic's Writings and Thoughts

   They don't kill their threats like they used to. Now they just blacken their names. Run their names through mud, blood, and shit until the very sound of their names evoke disgust and revulsion in the minds of the public to where socially, economically, politically, you might as well be dead   If disgust causes the most lethal form of hatred, getting people disgusted at the thought of a person or group, or even disgusted by their very name or label/category is a good way to sow the seeds of brutal persecution and lethal outcomes of hate. You can't demonize, dehumanize, or "disgustify" someone without the use of the words that induce these states in the minds of an audience. *You can't sow the seeds of hate without hate speech.* You can't blacken a name without the black art of slander and libel.  Speech is powerful. Words can be like bullets or like poison that poisons the psyche of a people's collective mind, and the more we fail to appreciate how power

 Jesus, King of Countless Worlds and Lord of Countless infinities, Flood my being with the purest of your Living Water. Water that washes away all my wickedness, my corruptions, and my perversions. Water that quenches the fires of my hatred, my fear, and my pain. Jesus, King of Countless Worlds and Lord of Countless Infinities, Flood my mind with the brightest of Living Light and the brightest of Living Truth...Light and Truth that purges out all darkness and blindness in my heart and mind. They eradicate all deceptions, delusions, ignorance, and insanity within my heart and mind and burn up entirely all the evils that come from the darkness within my being. Living Light and Living Truth that brings Lucid clarity and Lucid understanding of the nature and purpose of your creation and Lucid clarity and Lucid understanding of the nature and purpose of you and who and what you are. Jesus, King of Countless Worlds and Lord of Countless Infinities, Fill my heart to the brim with the purest o

The thing about playing with infinity is that you can't put it in a box. It is liberty at its pinnacle... because it has no pinnacle. It goes on forever. If there are countless ideas, concepts, systems, forms, strategies, and games, then there is not a single problem in your life, or in the universe in general, that doesn't have a solution somewhere. Applying infinity to random concepts and mixing it with a variety of subjects blows them up and expands them beyond limits, which is why it gives you so much liberty when you play with it. Meditating on infinity and the boundless and meditating on different infinite concepts, like countless forms of love or countless degrees of glory and countless forms of beauty, stretches your mind to the maximum and expands your consciousness, even if you can't fathom the infinite entirely...but no one can.  It's like lifting weights, the more you do it, the more you are able to comprehend. The more you are able to build and access in yo

  The difference between art and science is science is limited by its own rules, even blinded by them, while art can transcend the infinite and outlast the eternal. (A play on words that proves my point) Art is only as limited as your imagination is...only as limited as how many ways you can play with infinity. While science has to follow a set of structured procedures and rules in order to work and achieve its goals, art doesn't need those rules to operate. Art can be as ordered or Chaotic, as simple or complex, as you want it to be. War is an art because the rules bend and break based on will and opportunity, so treating it strictly as a science would inhibit your creativity. Parenting would be better suited as an art because of how complex children can be and how complex relationships can be. Since art is where infinity can come alive, art is where reality can get its most complex, and most beautiful. Science has to be limited in order to create the order and structure it needs

  In Heaven, I am going to have and experience countless forms of beauty. Each one unique. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity and complexity forever. I will take the form of these countless types of beauty one at a time, or all at once. In heaven, I am going to experience countless forms of Love. Each one unique. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity forever. I will bathe in Oceans upon Oceans of Love. When I get to Heaven, I will experience countless unique types of Glory. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity and complexity forever. I will climb mountains upon mountains of Glory. In Heaven I will experience countless forms of Liberty. Each one unique. Each one special. I will explore worlds upon worlds and realms upon realms of Liberty. (I call this meditation "blowing up a concept." You take a random abstract concept and apply it to and multiply it by infinity, creating countless possible forms, categories, complexities, and propertie

  Enlightenment is a complicated concept. There are varying explanations as to how it exists, why it exists, or whether or not it exists at all. Enlightenment is usually a positive term, as it should be, but coming to such a state is considered, usually rightly considered, to be an extremely difficult undertaking. So difficult, in fact, that some think true Enlightenment is more myth than fact. Setting aside skepticism, I want to engage in a thought experiment highlighting the difference between static, permanent Enlightenment, where you achieve a sort of "pinnacle" of enlightenment that is a solid, definable accomplishment that you need not achieve any further accomplishments, and a concept called "Exponential Enlightenment."  Exponential Enlightenment is where you grow toward Enlightenment exponentially, but never reach a definable sudden achievement that stops the growth and makes further growth unnecessary. You never reach a pinnacle because there is no pinnacle
