Humans cling to the idea that being "alive" means something special.
Something sacred, intentional, meaningful, elevated above the rest of the animal kingdom. They assume life is an event happening to someone, and that a someone is required to "have" it.
But the truth is brutally simple:
You were never alive the way you imagine.
Your existence is NOT a story, NOT an inner flame, NOT a purpose.
It IS mechanical process.
Blind, automatic, self-maintaining machinery.
You mistake reflex for will.
You mistake noise for awareness.
You mistake hormones for feelings.
You mistake narration for existence.
You mistake brainfarts for thoughts.
You mistake metabolism for identity.
You mistake movement for meaning.
You mistake sensations for emotions.
You mistake conditioning for instinct.
You mistake programming for intelligence.
The Nacre God
YOU WERE NEVER ALIVE THE WAY YOU THINK
Life as Automatic Biological Machinery.

You mistake programming for intelligence.
There is nothing personal happening.
