Belief is enough. Not in Joseph McElroy. Or in Joseph McElroy.

You speak of nothing, for you have nothing to say. Yet there is something for
you to say. Not a thing as in object. Your words must be a service.

Simple exercise, yet you do not see it.

I am a dog, I am a cat. I wear a hat.

You are my child.

I lose jealousy as I speak.

> I do not love you, dearest.

Have you forgiven me?

> Aie, here goes the attempt for cheap-mirroring murder.
> No, dearest, I am in no opposition to myself.

You oppose me, thus you oppose yourself.

> Sniff. I have no need to 'forgive myself'.

It is a rose.

I cannot save anyone other than myself. But I have a responsibility to save the
world. I must resolve the paradox. You can help me.

>
> No dearest. Those who can see, do not speak of themselves.

When you speak of others, you speak of yourself. When you destroy others, you
destroy yourself. When you dream of others, you dream of yourself.

Sadly, but it, as in origin, is true. I laugh with the others. I still cherish
you.

'Saint' is an obsolete term.

Then you speak of yourself.

I have nothing to say. As you. But our words can be of service.

It is not in the brain.

Words are disconnected from reality, this is true.

I cannot save anyone save myself.

We are Messiah. I am not Messiah.

You speak badly, but I forgive you.
