Mothman Arithmetic: IT ALL ADDS UP

 

     I play too much Magic: The Gathering. I like to build decks and look at the cards. Moreso I like to go play Magic at a shop and meet people and interact. I build a lot more garbage decks than I do good decks. But that's the fun of it I guess. My friend Dom talks at dead people. He asks them to respond a lot. He gets responses. I say he talks “at dead people” because that is exactly what he is doing. Hopefully he is such a good person that he is immune to suggestion from them. I mean, there is no telling what it is that is actually interacting with him. The Mothman Prophecies movie was based on actual events. Maybe it’s a spirit other than a formerly living, human spirit. Maybe it’s a demon. Or a devil. Or a fallen angel, or maybe God in his infinite wisdom has aked one of the Angel’s to pretend to be the dead, in order to instill good feelings, all around. Maybe it’s a Mothman. I have a pile of thoughts about “The Mothmen”.

     If there ARE Mothmen out there, then given everything we know about them, they exist in a sort of parallel accompaniment to our reality; perhaps IN our reality fully, maybe existing for far longer than us. Maybe playing with us, like a cat plays with a small animal it has caught. It seems like they feed on our energy, much like in the movie “Monsters inc.” whereas in, “the Mothman Prophecies”, they seemed to be causing and instilling fear and then Harvesting it into the Bridge event, which is like a Wall street Tycoon’s firm initiating a sell frenzy and then buying it back up cheap to basically print themselves some digital money; the digital money being humanity’s absolute terror and chaotic panic energy of the people involved and killed in the bridge crash event.

     Did they cause it? And if so why? Their presence before the event didn’t exactly come off as that of benevolent heroes trying to warn us of Almighty God’s Holy plan to kill 46 people. It’s more like to me that they showed up hungry. Like crows circling a dying, what they are hoping will be based on things they can observe, a future carcass. Or like fruit flies landing over and over again on a seemingly fine piece of fruit, only to have it turn out to be the first to go rotten. Did they know it was the worst one? Maybe. But did their 5000 takeoffs and landings and working on it have an impact on how bad it went fast? AHEM. How fast it went bad? I believe the fruit flies do go to work on impacting the fruit, literally and figuratively. I KNOW the crows go in and start peckin and checkin. So how about the Mothmen? If they do exist as some form of energy, and need to harvest more energy for sustenance, then “Point Pleasant” from the movie was a FEAST for them.

    Anyone who has had a moving Ouija board experience would tell you, the spirit’s aren’t always honest. And it seems that they aren’t all bad either. Maybe some of, “The Mothmen”, like in, “Monster’s inc.”, know the value of and harvest good energy. Maybe if they manage to make a person’s energy elevate to extreme joy and wonder, they can feed off of that as well. Or lust. Or insecurity. Or hate. I imagine the Mothmen as a diverse gang, with diverse appetites. Energy vampires, feeding off of our emotional energy and giving something almost symbiotic back to this, the physical world. Feeding off our hopes, ambitions, hatreds, divisions, insecurities, misunderstandings, dreams, lusts. Etc.

    This isn’t all just supposition. I remember the night I watched, “The Mothman Prophecies”, alone in my Hotel room in Ohio, or PA, or NJ, wherever I was working construction back in 2002. I developed all these thoughts of all these things I wrote about them as I watched, and that night I had an intense dream from which I woke. A spirit in a dirty, dusty, ratty and tattered cloak, billowing in a strong wind, with a gaunt, skeletal face, drawn & tattered skin, with bright glowing red eyes and a scythe; essentially the classical embodiment of “Death”, hovered over my bed. I lay there terrified, unable to move, as it stretched it’s bony hand towards me. It was at that moment I was FILLED, WITH RAGE. I broke free in an instant, ripping the spirit from my ceiling and smashing it to the bed where I had just lain, my hands around it’s throat, screaming my unchecked will through my mouth into it’s face, like Ghostrider obliterating a Demon. My eyes opened and I lay in bed, directly above me, a red light that would blink every little bit, indicating an operational smoke detector. Sew fear? point it at fire? Would this contribute to some eventual goal of fire? Did they point at the bridge? Did they sew fear? Did they reap it? I ASSUME AS YES AND MOVE FORWARD. Be strong in spirit, sharpen your mental accuity.

    I recall another time, years later. Suffice to say I was TREMENDOUSLY HORNY, in the middle of the night and something odd and of note occurred. I won’t go into details other than to say, nothing illegal happened, and I was left completely exhausted. Within less than a minute of my “being done”, I heard 2 cats begin having sex within 20 feet of me. What a terrible cacophony they made. A racket to wake the entire neighborhood. And just downstairs and in the sideyard. Right after I finished. I immediately thought of the pig full of LEGION, My Ouija board experience, and ‘the Mothmen spirits.  It seemed then, in that moment, that some spirit I was susceptible to, had it's fill of me, and then immediately moved on, and even immediately tormented some cats it found as it departed. 

    I guess If I’m trying to say ANYTHING, it’s this; Don’t trust others to have the best intentions for you, ESPECIALLY randoms, spirits, and those outside your circle. I’m not saying live in fear either. I’m saying BE THE SPIRIT. BE YOURSELF. BE POWERFUL, IN THAT. Don’t be cowed by fear, or lust, or hate, or apparent wisdom, or whatever. Many say Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived; I read that book, the guy had over 700 wives, HOW WISE COULD HE HAVE BEEN? Don’t trust unverifiable things just because your provably falsifiable religious book says they are accurate and true, and PLEASE, BE WARY COMMUNING WITH THE DEAD.

     ALSO, I AM THE WISEST PERSON THAT HAS EVER EXISTED.  You Ladies are lucky I only need ONE wife. :wink:
