Res Cogitans

[I. Meditations]

How can I be sure about the world my eyes are seeing?

Is this all the truth or just some kind of coherent dream?

What if there's a deceiver god who's playing with my head?

How can I be sure if I'm alive or if I'm dead?

There must be an evil demon that is pleased to hear my cries

Corrupting and seducing me to believe in all its lies

I shall no more be deceived by what remains impure

I will fight the doubt and in the doubt I will be sure

[II. The Four Rules]

1) Evidence:

Only accept the undeniable proof

2) Analysis:

Dissect the fact to find within the truth

3) Synthesis:

Put the pieces together, side by side

4) Remembrance:

Nothing to omit, nothing to hide

I walk masked

Through the valleys of ignorance mist

I doubt

And that's the only reason why I exist

I walk masked

And face this nasty urge to believe

I doubt

I think, I am, I meditate, I live

Cogito ergo sum

Cogito ergo sum

(sum res cogitans)

Cogito ergo sum

Cogito ergo sum

(sum res cogitans)

No evil

Shall hide

The Truth

Free Will

Shall be

The only law

I think,

I am,

I have a choice:

I believe!
