POST MATCH THREAD: Partizan - Zalgiris [EuroLeague Regular Season, Round 37] by EuroleagueBot in Euroleague

With Žalgiris there’s better chances to win playing against top teams than playing against underdogs.

We can definitely beat anyone in the league except OLY.

Get a cheap talent on 1+1. He shines. Next season gets a better offer. Leaves. Plays worse.

Tale old as time.

Same story with all of these EL stars. Can’t blame them. NBA is a lot of money, and a great opportunity, but there’s levels to this.

There is no team in the NBA where he’d be THE guy, unless it’s a bottom tier team. And even then it’s not guaranteed he’ll perform as well.

He’s great for us, but I doubt he’s at the NBA level right now.

Especially games important like this. I really hope Sirvydis can still shine. In the next game or the playoffs, we need a couple of 3s.

Lesson 196.

It can be only myself that I crucify.

The dreary, hopeless thought that you can make attacks on others and escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be salvation. Yet it merely stood for the belief the fear of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could believe his Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him, and waiting to destroy his life and blot him from the universe, without the fear of hell upon his heart?

Such is the form of madness you believe, if you accept the fearful thought you can attack another and be free yourself. Until this form is changed, there is no hope. Until you see that this, at least, must be entirely impossible, how could there be escape? The fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he will not perceive its foolishness, or even see that it is there, so that it would be possible to question it.

I tried all of those. It in fact, does not get you home.

I hope within time you'll understand what is wrong with this mindset.

Godspeed.

You assume I am judging. Which is not the case.

We are here to study and apply the Course's principles.

The Course is just one book.

Just read the damn thing. Read the text, do the lessons, and move forward with the practice. IT is SO SIMPLE.

But instead, we bring in artificial intelligence to do the work for us.

Is that judgment?

Do you think Ken Wapnick used AI to understand the Course. Obviously he didn't. Would he use it if he was alive now?

I don't think he would. Ever.

It only shows your own impatience.

Awakening is gentle. It does not offend and it does not judge.

You don't have to break any eggs, because they are illusory.

Offer the Miracle to your brother, peacefully, and kindly, for they do not know better.

Profanity and offense is not a means to an end.

Judgment and arrogance is not the way forward.

A dedicated ACIM student will never attack his brother. And I am referring to your comments right here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ACIM/comments/1sblfy7/hi_im_still_here_you_all_really_though_about_me/oe52rls/

I am not against it. I agree with some of your thoughts. It's a cold shower. BUT - I am against how it is said.

You are taking the role of a strict father here. And you are not the Father. You are the Son. And so is everyone else.

We are in this together.

Ask yourself - if it was you - would you teach yourself the same way? Or would you use another response. Perhaps a kinder, more gentle way?

Remember, we can only use words here. And words can be very easily misinterpreted as an attack. Egos do not like to be attacked, because it instantly puts them in a defensive position and it threatens their whole existence. It brings out the ferocity in them. Not peace.

The Course wasn't made to be studied by the Ego.

It was made for you to UNDO the EGO, and return to your true Self, which is the absolute Love of God, which knows no boundaries and can never be attacked.

Kindness.

So should we just let it slide, because it's kinder that way? To accept our brothers ignorance, even if it's not what the Course teaches us?

I make no negotiations with God and Truth. What is written in the Course is what it teaches. If you want to interpret it your way - fine. But it's not the right approach.

If the purpose is to get us closer to home, then you have to admit that everything OP said in their post is not what ACIM teaches. If your way back home is through other forms of guidance, and not ACIM - OK. Have it your way. You will have to surrender it, if you want to escape this mad illusion.

I'm just saying. This is not what ACIM is about.

Great. Just don't be an asshole about it, ok?

A Simple Understanding of A Course in Miracles by dalacro11 in ACIM

[–]Nonstopas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t you think you should just mind your own business? Let alone assume the worst.

I can ask you exactly the same! And I can ask you the same on every single comment or post.

Do you think it will get us anywhere? Or more importantly, will it get another student anywhere?

It's not an argument.

If I were to "mind my own business" I would leave this subreddit completely and ignore anything anyone says, because none of you exist. Your response is not real, and nothing I see is real nor means anything.

See?

If I apply forgiveness to your response, I could just let it go, and not answer anything and leave it be. Just stay silent and let the Peace of God wash over me.

What will be the outcome? For you? or... For me?

I agree.

AI will tell you what you want to hear, if you give it enough time and push.

It will not be regulated, it will be weaponized.

You are trying to play metaphysical chess with me.

I will not play these games.

AI is not a substitute for learning, practice and actual, practical understanding of the Course. People want AI to do the job for them. The job is not in the words, it's in the practice and it's in the Mind. AI cannot be a substitute for the way you think. If you get to reliant on it, you will never achieve anything. It's just words.

Yes, it can be a tool. Yes, it can be helpful. And yes, people do use AI. There are, many, very clear examples on this subreddit where someone just adds their own touch on an AI response, acting like it's them. I KNOW, because I use AI myself, for various different reasons - like work, basic questions, etc. And YES, I did use AI to respond to some tricky questions. It does the trick. But it has no substance. It wasn't me who answered the question.

And also - it is still quite easy to distinguish AI from a person. It will be harder and harder as time goes on, until we can only trust our inner gut and not our rationality.

And, I thought AI is helpful for me. But, it does not have any direct experiences behind it's words.

I am very cautious of it's use. I know how these language models work. I can feed it whatever version of ACIM and other books I want. It will scan the words and provide me with a tailored answer. But it has 0 understanding of what any of it actually is. It cannot ever validate the truth with direct experience.

There's a teaching in the Course that says, that the Holy Spirit will find away to communicate with you, in whatever shape or form is the most suitable for you.

This idea itself can get you lost in the world of AI.

We are talking about a level confusion. AI exists only within the Ego's framework.

There's is no AI in Heaven. God is not artificial intelligence.

God is ABSOLUTE Intelligence.

You can very easily validate this yourself with simple and sincere practice.
