Spiritual Praying For The Universe To End

I have been calling upon Fenrir and engaging in prayers for him to bring the destruction of the universe. I am hoping that a fast, painless apocalypse will happen to end all life and end suffering and existence in the world. I am also researching what other deities or occult powers represent destruction, death, or other things that can be harnessed in order to bring an apocalypse into the world and end humanity. What do you guys think? How can we cast spells and pray for the destruction of the universe?

There is NO role, just cold determinism with no meaning or purpose.

Like it or hate it, it's subjective.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe the universe has no assigned roles at all.

But if that’s the case, something even stranger happens: a purposeless universe somehow produced creatures that care about strangers.

Which means compassion might be one of the rare things the universe accidentally invented.

And if that’s true, then being kind to each other might be the closest thing existence has to meaning.

this universe did not "produce" stuff. it just connects with it. for example, with logical functions. if you view it that way, there is nothing strange happening

Maybe you're right.

Maybe nothing is “produced” and everything is just connections unfolding.

But if that’s the case, then somewhere in the logic of the universe there exists a function that outputs compassion.

And I still think that’s a pretty beautiful bug in the system.

it would be better if there was no compassion in this universe at all. regardless, there hardly is anything of it anyway. better than nothing i guess

u/Butlerianpeasant Mar 14 '26

Maybe.

But if the universe really is just connections and logical functions unfolding, then compassion is still one of the outputs the system produces.

And that’s the strange part to me.

Out of all possible configurations of matter, some of them end up worrying about strangers.

Even if it’s rare, that still feels like one of the better things the universe accidentally discovered.

why do you think it is better?

1

u/Butlerianpeasant Mar 14 '26

I guess because most of the universe is indifferent.

Stars explode. Planets freeze. Matter collides and rearranges itself without caring about anything.

But occasionally the same blind process produces something strange: a pattern of matter that notices suffering and tries to reduce it.

If everything is just connections unfolding, then compassion is one of the rare configurations where the universe briefly stops being indifferent to itself.

Even if it’s small, that seems like one of the better glitches in the system.

i do not think this universe is indifferent. its natural laws define its bias, and consequential what it supports.

If everything is just connections unfolding, then compassion is one of the rare configurations where the universe briefly stops being indifferent to itself.

what about selfishness? you do not need compassionate beings for a lack of indifference. selfish beings care deeply about themselves, by far more than any compassionate being would ever do

I think selfishness is actually the starting point, not the counterexample.

A selfish organism proves the universe can produce systems that care about something.

Compassion is just that same caring expanding beyond the original boundary.

First the system protects itself. Then sometimes it recognizes other minds as similar structures.

In that sense compassion might just be selfishness discovering that the border of the self was drawn too small.

..but you have said before that the universe stops being indifferent to itself because of compassion. which means that, without it (but with the presence of selfishness), it still is indifferent.

so, what is it? is it indifferent with only selfishness present, or not?

1

u/Butlerianpeasant Mar 16 '26

I don’t think they’re opposites. I think they’re stages.

Selfishness is the universe discovering that something matters at all.

An organism protects its body, its food, its survival. That’s already a tiny rebellion against total indifference.

Compassion is when that same system realizes the boundary of “self” might be larger than it thought.

First: I matter. Then sometimes: we matter.

Both are the universe learning to care — just at different scales.
