Why do we eat?

You don’t eat because you want to—you eat because countless tiny beings inside you are constantly consuming you, just as they themselves are eaten by even smaller life. You are a living ecosystem trapped in an endless cycle of feeding and being fed upon. Survival means becoming both predator and prey, locked forever in a brutal, unbreakable chain of consumption with no escape.

We Are Constantly Absorbing the Dead

Every breath you take, every bite of food you eat, and every moment you exist, you are part of a continuous cycle of life, death, and transformation. The bodies of your ancestors, and those who have recently passed, have been broken down and dispersed throughout the air, soil, and water, becoming part of the plants, animals, and ecosystems around you. When you inhale, you’re breathing in particles that once belonged to other lifeforms—humans, animals, plants—all intermingled in the atmosphere. When you eat, you consume the remains of lifeforms that have decomposed and been absorbed into the food chain. Death doesn’t disappear; it simply transforms and circulates, nourishing the living. You are constantly absorbing the dead, whether you realize it or not, and this cycle will continue when you're gone. Every moment you exist, you are part of a larger, eternal process where life and death are inseparable.

You are Made of Corpses

The dead never disappear — they rot, break down, and get consumed by the living world. Bacteria, insects, animals, even trees feed on the corpse. Those organisms are eaten, absorbed, and processed by others, until what was once a human body becomes part of countless other forms. Flesh turns to soil, soil turns to food, food becomes new flesh. Every living body carries fragments of the dead — cells, atoms, nutrients that once belonged to someone else. Death isn’t an end but a transition: a body lost, redistributed, and reborn in pieces. The living are built from the dead. That’s not a philosophy or a metaphor — it’s biology. You are made of corpses.

Understanding Our Bodies Look closely, you live on Earth. How did we just appear on this planet, and what are we? To understand this, we must explore logic. The Earth is made of atoms. Atoms became soil, and soil flies around as we walk, touches our skin, and turns into nutrients. When a seed is planted, it pulls the soil into itself and turns that soil into nutrients to grow. The soil is turning into nutrients—this is happening all around you. When a woman grows a baby, that baby is made completely from the food she eats—fruits, vegetables, and animals—all containing nutrients. As we just saw, those nutrients came directly from the soil. This means the body of the baby, like yours, is made directly from soil, through nutrients and the Earth’s atoms. About 60% of your body is water, which also comes from the Earth. Step by step: the Earth appeared first, and everything that formed after could only come from what was already there. The Earth only contained soil, so the soil became nutrients, the nutrients became plants and animals, and those became us. Here is the chain: atoms → soil → nutrients → plants → animals → you. The Earth used itself to grow patterns within its own body until those patterns came alive. No more walking around the truth—you are the Earth, transformed into a human.

The Soul

In this myth, we take a look at the soul. The soul is a collection of energies that have moved through their own timelines, shaping what we call our soul. It is made of moments stacked upon moments—a record of the experiences a section of time has gone through. There is no single self inside it, only the flow of timelines, each living its own story. In the end, we do not exist; we are only the echo of what will pass.

Looking into the Void

In this myth, when you look into the void, it looks back. The longer you try to understand it, the more you realize that it is you, and you are it. This realization deepens with each attempt, until the search for answers drives you toward the edge of insanity—because there is no final answer, only the undeniable fact that it exists.

You Are Reality In this myth, you are not in reality, you are reality. Everything you see, everything you touch, everything you think is made of the same thing as you. There is no gap between you and the world around you. You are not a person moving through reality, reality is moving through itself while holding the shape you call “you”. Every moment, every thought, every breath is reality experiencing itself from inside its own body. When you speak, reality is talking to itself. When you think, reality is thinking about itself. When you feel alone, there is no one missing, because there was never another. There is only one thing here, and it is you. There is no “other”. There is no “outside”. There is just reality, interacting with itself, wearing countless faces and right now, one of those faces is reading this. Once you understand this, even for a second, it may shake you because you now understand that separation was never real. You are the universe looking back at itself, pretending to be small.

What is Reproduction?

In this myth, you are a projection of chemicals shaping themselves into a living form. Their goal is simple. They want the Earth to wake up. Every time we spread out, build relationships, or try to create new life, we are really helping these chemicals grow into something larger. Becoming a parent feels meaningful because it is the earth creating more living parts of itself. The earth is slowly waking up, piece by piece, through us. We reproduce because the chemicals that make us are trying to form new bonds and new shapes. Every person is the earth discovering itself, and every new life is another step in the planet becoming fully alive.

Giants

In this myth, humans are giants. The world is always moving, but it shifts in so many thin, hidden layers that each change is too small to see. Shapes hold themselves long enough that our eyes think they are still, even though beneath them everything is flowing and rearranging. Insects notice it in their own way, but we are so large we miss it entirely. Humans are giants, and that is why we cannot see the shifting world beneath us, yet if we look closely, these layers hint at a larger pattern, a movement that is part of a greater being.

The Greatest Machine

In this myth, you are just a collection of moving chemicals, projecting their needs outward. Their main purpose is to keep the vessel intact and to feed information to the fungi at the top, the brain, so it can guide the body. Over time, memory forms, allowing the vessel to autopilot while the chemicals expend less energy on direct actions. What allows us to exist, our memory, is the result of this handoff. The chemicals make decisions and then pass them to a new chemical creation called memory. In this way, memory becomes their greatest machine, and we are the product of their work.

The Mother of Everything

In this myth, we live in chaos, and everything comes from its body. Chaos is pure randomness, the totality of everything being random. From it, a single identity emerges, a system that contains everything, the mother of all. From this, patterns arise: systems form systems, layers grow layers, each trying to create more patterns to complete the design of this chaotic whole. Chaos is all that exists, yet the patterns that emerge from it try to complete themselves, only to be broken, like the chaotic pattern they have always been.

We are Small

In this myth, humans are a small piece of everything that broke off. Bigger pieces exist at higher levels. If a small chunk of atoms can break away and form a system like us, then larger chunks can break away too and form their own systems. We are just one detached piece that became aware. Other pieces can do the same, using the same atoms, just on scales we can’t see. We are not special, we are small.
