Jon Nodtveidt's take
on anticosmic
-anticosmic people refuses to be a servant of the cosmic order
-refuses to being someone's creation,a passive victim of cosmic fate,chained to
the wheel of life,blinded by illusions and lies that has only one purpose;to
keep us in line in a system controlled by the oppressor
-to strive for liberation and enlightenment,thus refusing to accept the
inherited yoke of humanity. choose to eternally become,to consciously strive
away from,and beyond the pre dictated conditions for existence and to struggle
towards becoming completely self made,in accordance to my own true will,free
from all weaknesses and chains that binds us to the cosmic creation. it is not
for the masses,it is for the elite who doesnt want control.
