Gnosticism Explored
The cosmos is not flawed or absurd.
The death of the body is offered
to prove that our lives are meaningless;
full of misery–not happiness.
These gnostic or Buddhist premises
ignore positive realities.
but both of them offer some hope
human beings can learn to cope.
I think a cosmic consciousness is
a much better solution than this.
It allows each one of us to share
a marvelous world everywhere.
The death of my body will not be
the end of the cosmos, or me.
