Gets under your skin to the point where things break down and you come away truly truly realizing how important it is to just be…
James de Llis of the Hermitix podcast (from a review on his YouTube channel)
Why is the world so mad?
Why is everyone so unhappy?
What’s the point of it all?
What on earth is going on?
Fear not dear friends,
Modra the Monkey God has some apocalyptically good news….
The Fire Sermon explains the nature of happiness, and how it is different from mere pleasure, the real reason why fakery is rewarded in the world and the vital difference between selfless feeling and selfish emotion. It also clears up the problem of evil, the mystery of free-will and the hell of indecision, if you’ll let it.
In just a few pages you’ll find a radical, but easy to grasp anatomy of your entire life, from infancy to death, and be taken on a subversive satirical trip through your entire world, from the left to the right, from the top to the bottom, from the anarchic, prehistorical beginning, to the apocalyptic, post-historical end.
The Fire Sermon is the culmination of my work over the last fifteen years. It is easy to swallow (but hard to digest); effortless to understand (but terrible to grasp); a kind of agony and a kind of ecstasy; a gift that only the oldest gods can give. The glorious, painful, unacceptable and unbelievable truth.
