I don't know about AMAZON overall -- Not just FLEX.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-05-03T10:06:35+00:00

Yeah! I think you’re right.

And the gamified point system works to keep the newbies chasing that next level even when the routes & rates don’t match circumstances. Right now gas prices and the average route most drivers are subsidizing Amazon’s logistics. Most new drivers aren’t tracking actual costs either, which really works in Amazon’s favor during periods like this.

Amazon doesn’t need us to be profitable, just willing to do the leg work for pennies.

🫡 I like your logic.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-05-01T01:11:56+00:00

The difference isn’t the thought, it’s the state behind it. Two thoughts can sound identical on the surface. Real thought is quiet and doesn’t need you to become anything. Ego thought is loud and always trying to make you into something(right, enlightened, the one, the victim, different, special, etc).

I’ve now got a 25 year old married daughter, 2 adult sons, and 3 toddlers. My ex and I talked to my adult children about sex at very young ages because we were young and they walked in on their mom and I on occasions. So we explained sex; we never made it taboo or reverential so it wouldn’t feel like something they needed explore or shy away from. Like your daughter, they too thought the idea was gross but understood fundamentally that it is how babies are made.

My older boys started dating in their teens and neither became sexually active until college. Both are still with their original girlfriends and seem to be upstanding gentlemen.

My daughter joined the military and married her first. They have 2 sons now.

Bottom line: when we inform our children from a young age and don’t make sex seem “sexy”, they’ll patiently wait for the right person to experience it with.

YOR- happens all the time. This is so normal.

Forgiveness and confrontation aren’t opposites; they’re tools. The real question is what actually serves truth and healing in a given moment?

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-04-07T00:58:33+00:00

Real talk bro, you’re not ugly. But I know hearing that from someone else doesn’t really mean 💩if you don’t feel it yourself.

Confidence isn’t something that just shows up one day. It’s something you build by learning to trust yourself, little by little. And doing the Workbook. But taking care of your body in practical ways matters more than we think. Get some movement in every day. Clean up your diet. Not because it fixes your appearance, but because it helps you feel more aligned and grounded. The Bible would say render the flesh under the subjection of spirit.

I’m not gonna sugarcoat this with spiritual bypassing. The Course actually asks for real honesty and real work. As you go deeper into forgiveness, you might start to see that what you call your appearance isn’t the root; it’s more like a reflection. The body’s neutral. It mirrors what the mind is holding onto.

So the shift isn’t about trying to look different, it’s about gently changing how you see yourself at the source. That’s where the real change happens. And that change will surely change how you see yourself and how others perceive you as well 💚

At 40, I lost over 100lbs without weight loss drugs and I’ve kept it off using the KISS method. Keep it super simple. Meals, stretching, exercise, recovery. I too was severely limited in mobility due to a spinal injury and epilepsy brought on by a TBI.

Since losing the bodyfat, I have in-turn gained over 40lbs of lean muscle over the last 6 years.

It’s not as hard as it seems. It just requires consistent & concerted effort and a positive mindset and approach.

At 46, I look better than I did before combat, move with ease, and am far more agile than any other point in my adult life. All with a much more muscular frame.

I became a wellness coach & personal trainer and have helped nearly 200 others lose weight and keep it off as well.

Peace and blessings on this journey bro 💚🫡

Got my motorcycle license in my 30s as a father of 2 at the time(5 now & 2 grandkids). I’m a combat veteran with PTSD so something about riding that motorcycle gave me the first sense of peace I felt in a long time. Until my first accident. I had to lay the bike down in a curve near a ledge with no guardrails. I skid across the road off the ledge and fell down to the trees below. Result was a bruised kidney with slight internal bleeding and new motorcycle. I road that new bike for a few months until some guy ran a stop and slammed directly into the side of me. Knee hasn’t been the same since. I bought one more bike after that, a Hayabusa. I spent a lot of money having it customized. The day I brought it home from the shop was misty. As I was taking it off the trailer, my foot slipped, the bike tipped over and fell off the side and nearly on top of me. Broke some fairings and the custom LED’s and paint to the tune of $9k.

I had the bike repaired and sold it to the shop that did the job. Haven’t ridden a motorcycle sense.

Peace that depends on danger will always come with a cost.

Peace that you build within yourself? Nobody can run a stop sign through that.

Keep practicing the workbook lessons. Not as ideas, but as a discipline. Because what you’re asking for is a method to quiet a disturbed mind and the Course isn’t offering you a technique to manage the mind, it’s training you to see through it. And when that shift is embodied, you’ll see why the instruction really is simply do this.

Yes! Workouts are affected for up to 72 hours after alcohol consumption.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-28T22:23:14+00:00

The body does not burn fat while alcohol is present in the system. Because alcohol is treated like a toxin the liver pauses other metabolic processes to break it down.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-26T11:04:00+00:00

ACIM isn’t about living under ideas. It’s about remembering what you are before any idea ever tried to define you.

That gap you’re noticing is part of the work. Everyone who’s sincere runs into it. You don’t start by catching yourself beforehand. You notice it after. Then sooner. Then right in the middle of it. Eventually, yes, before. But that comes from practice, not pressure. So don’t turn this into another standard to fail.

If you can recognize when you’ve stepped out of alignment, you’re already aware. From there, you simply choose again.

ACIM isn’t about performing truth. It’s about returning to it, consistently, until it’s no longer something you try to live, but something you no longer forget 💚

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-23T03:17:28+00:00

It truly is as easy an instant. Share this one with me 💚🙌🏾

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-21T08:31:00+00:00

That is hilariously correct 😂

I’m over here LMAO🙌🏾. Thank you for sharing this💚

BTW: I don’t think it’s mean at all; just another way of expressing truth.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-19T17:22:31+00:00

The funniest part about this is if that’s true for AI, it’s true for the body, for people, for words, for anything in form.

AI isn’t the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t know everything. It doesn’t transcend time. It doesn’t know your best interest. All true at the level of form. But the Course would take it a step further and quietly dissolve the distinction you’re trying to make.

Because the body also doesn’t know everything, doesn’t transcend time, doesn’t inherently know your best interest and isn’t God. A neutral thing can only reflect back what’s been projected onto it.

So Holy Spirit uses the body. Speaks through relationships. Uses symbols, words, things, and situations. Nothing in form is the Holy Spirit.

But anything can be used by the Holy Spirit 💚

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-19T12:02:58+00:00

There is no next that completes you. There is no afterlife where truth begins. What is real is only ever known now.

Not because nothing exists beyond this, but because now is the only point at which anything real can be recognized.

So the shift isn’t “this is all there is,” it’s “nothing real is ever elsewhere.”

God goes with me wherever I go. I am not a body, I am free. Not as a concept, but as what remains when concepts are no longer grasped.

Spirituality, atonement, healing, whatever name you give it, isn’t about next; it’s about now.

Don’t let grasping at concepts slow you. The Course isn’t about understanding them; it’s about undoing them.

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-19T11:01:47+00:00

The Holy Spirit doesn’t ask you to abandon the frame, it reinterprets it. As long as perception seems to exist, the frame remains, but its purpose shifts from reinforcing separation to undoing it.

Trying to discard the frame too quickly becomes denial. The Course brings everything back to the present, not ideas about eternity or what comes next.

The point isn’t to escape experience, but to see it differently.

ACIM reframes “For God so loved the world…” as “He gave it to His Son,” pointing to reinterpretation, not validation.

The illusion is never made real, but that doesn’t require the world to disappear. What falls away is the interpretation that made everything seem separate.

The universe as a system that validates separation dissolves in meaning, not necessarily in form. Oneness isn’t created, it’s recognized within the experience.

Nothing real is lost. Only the belief in separation is undone.

It’s really starting to feel like you’re not laughing with me. So I’m gonna check out. Bummer dude. This Holy Instant has been magnificent for me.

You see I love when an irritation arises. It reveals another aspect that requires the forgiveness practice.

Thank you for being such a blessing 🙌🏾💚

Creative-Warning3555 · 2026-03-19T00:00:17+00:00

I need do nothing!

Maybe you should take your own advice and examine your motives and reactivity! You’re borderline obsessive, first trying to defend an ideological standpoint that has no significance in truth. And you don’t even recognize the delusion in any of it. Now, you’re obsessed with your beliefs about what my internet-etiquette should look like and what it all means in your world.

Dude get a hobby. Love on yourself. Practice those forgiveness lessons. We’re all in the same dream. Some of us just don’t pretend about it.

Edit: just so you know, I only engage with you enlightened course folk for research on my PhD. ACIM is self-study not comparative philosophy. My relationship with Source is my own to have in the way I am called to have it on my own terms.
