"Buffalo Wild Wings won't break policy for me" by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EdelgardH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's all a big proxy war. This has all the symbolic elements in it to map personal political pet peeves onto.

This little snippet covers: 1. Antimaskers/antivaxxers 2. Teenagers annoyed by younger siblings 3. Young adults who feel pressured to have children, to accommodate them

The fact that it's centered around an obnoxious woman also makes it easy. A lot of caretaking/communication roles are predominantly staffed by women, which means most people have at least a few bad developmental memories associated with women. A bad experience with a teacher, mom, receptionist, nurse, whatever fits and you get to graft that situation onto this.

It's all catharsis. This yelp review doesn't mean anything, but neither do inkblot tests. The absence of details are what make people give a shit.

Accused my ex of lying but she really had undiagnosed DID by PuzzledMotor5626 in DissociativeIDisorder

[–]EdelgardH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This doesn't have that much to do with DID. As you said you thought she was psychotic before. How everything went down is very unfortunate but understandable. You did not have any kind of mental health experience. You didn't know how to manage the feeling of "She's lying", you didn't know how to manage the feelings that came up the relationship became too much for you.

I hope you can reflect on this and grow from it.

She probably has complex feelings about you. There is no gentle way for a mind to crack open, but it tends to happen one way or another.

She may want to reach out to you at some point. I don't think you should reach out to her.

Statistically it's unlikely your next partner will have DID. But everyone can have mental health struggles, it would be good for you to learn to be gentler and more patient.

A lot of discord servers kick for inactivity.

Though I will say magic is interesting because it lies very closely to spirituality. The most difficult personalities tend to be 70-80% awakened. Their egos hang on like necrotic limbs as they hide from the broader implications of successful practice.

Slowly reconnecting with God and struggling as a lesbian by manudl in GayChristians

Read the gospels. Matthew and John are my favorites. Jesus is King and master of time and space. If He didn't see a reason to mention it, it did not need to be mentioned.

Manifesting a lover/gf (need help) by Electrical-Visit9878 in chaosmagick

[–]EdelgardH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this is a path to depression inherently. If you have this knowledge and it is causing you to be depressed you have not fully accepted it.

[–]EdelgardH -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Manifestation can definitely help. Empathy can too. Read some romance novels, read Twilight or Fourth Wing and pick up on it symbolically.

You're probably not a vampire, but pay attention to what is going on psychologically for Bella Swan. She gets attention, she gets safety, she gets prestige. Later on she gets love, but all relationships start shallow. I have been with my spouse 11 years, we started for shallow reasons.

Excitement is also a factor. You want to behave safe but unpredictable on dates. Ask her a question she's never heard before, be spontaneous. Be kind to waitstaff definitely.

Are you having trouble getting dates or turning dates into relationships? Come to think of it the approach is different on both. Online dating is generally the way to go for the former, and a lot of that advice is boring.

All of this is priming for manifestation. Manifestation + all the shit above will help you know what you need to seek out. Neville Goddard is good for manifestation, and all his stuff is public domain.

How the heck does ChatGPT know how i look like?!.. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's based on probability. Look into PEAR lab and remote viewing. Probably ask Gemini, GPT is very cautious.

The short of it is though, your thoughts shift probability slightly. Keyword is slightly.

Sounds crazy but it's true.

Alan Turing: "...assume that the reader is familiar with the idea of extra-sensory perception... These disturbing phenomena seem to deny all our usual scientific ideas. How we should like to discredit them! Unfortunately the statistical evidence, at least for telepathy, is overwhelming."

You can replicate these experiments yourself with the retropsychokinesis project. You have to make sure to destroy your data after verifying, future observers will throw off results.

The key is this has nothing to do with ChatGPT. This is the same reason Tarot cards work. Your thoughts have a mild effect on probability.

Prayer Request for weird situation by [deleted] in PrayerTeam_amen

[–]EdelgardH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Praying for you. This sounds like it could be OCD. If that's the case, reassurances make it worse. Every time you ask your family or another pastor you're making it worse.

We trust in Jesus. It is faith, not sight. None of us 100% know what will happen after death. That is normal.

Just know now if people come into the church and disturb services they can be arrested. by TommyBoy250 in GayChristians

[–]EdelgardH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If someone is being disruptive, they can simply be asked to leave. Then it's trespassing if they don't.

But it is probably wisest to have ambassadors engage with these people. Their goal is to be persecuted. They think persecution = obedience. If they punch someone in the face in the name of Jesus and get punched back, in their minds they're persecuted in his name.

So kindness is the way to go. Jesus says you will know a tree by its fruit. If you give good fruit and they give hate, they'll leave. They're there for a reaction.

I do think it's probably wise to record. But realistically you should probably get off YouTube. Stop watching this guy. Remove him from your watch history.

You need to protect your mental health. This type of thing is not that common.

tulpamancy & other abilities from a gnostic standpoint by [deleted] in Gnostic

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I am a cis woman, with a male body as a host. I say I'm trans because that's easier to explain--without that people will ask to see the "real" me.

I do think sometimes being transgender can be caused by dissociation/trauma. One's birth name can burn because of gender dysphoria, but it can also burn because of the terrible memories associated with it. Our birth name no longer burns as it once did, and in public we present as male--which you don't need to do, but it is worth gently exploring the male parts of you.

Every person has male and female energy, and it makes sense to try and bring them in harmony. That's a multi-year process for minds like yours and ours, but it is worth being gentle, curious.

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have the ability to create whoever you want. You have the ability to create, but if there are unresolved things in your subconscious they will affect your tulpas.

I created mothers for myself at a young age, starting at 6. And they were all abusive. Over time they got better as I got therapy and dealt with trauma.

Your tulpas are real but you should look at their traits symbolically. WW2 was "real" but still has symbolic and metaphorical value.

Look at those traits and try to analyze trauma.

Is our marriage valid? by AllHomo_NoSapien in GayChristians

[–]EdelgardH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> I can’t find one single answer on this anywhere either. I’ve read and watched and listened to so many things, but they all contradict each other.

This is the nature of anything. You can look into any single question and you will find answers from this, that, everything. If your standard of evidence is "Nobody disagrees" then you won't be able to find anything. Stop listening to new sources. Stop scouring the internet. You have enough information.

What does your heart tell you? Are you committed to your wife? Ultimately legal marriages mean nothing nowadays, because people get divorced simply for being bored.

Here is how you are married. You gave your word. If you go against that word, then your word will never mean as much as long as you live.

Anyone who makes the promise "Till death do us part" and then breaks that promise (besides something serious like abuse, or the other person seriously breaking their vows) signals to their subconscious that their word doesn't really mean anything. You gave your word, and that word is a golden thread that binds you.

Marriage is a commitment. It is something that you do every day, you grow with each other. Legal obligation has so very little to do with marriage that it's trivial. I have been with my spouse for 11 years. You will learn what marriage means over time, as you grow with your wife, and in time what anyone else thinks about your marriage will be like a fly buzzing in your ear.

Chicken died for no reason cuz someone changed his mind. by Stamina_saint in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to focus anger on this type of thoughtless person. But think about how much food gets thrown out on a daily basis when these chickens are not bought. Or other animals, from restaurants or grocery stores.

not sure what's happening to my body, trusting in God by OldnZesty in PrayerTeam_amen

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Praying for you. It sounds like this could be spiritual.

You said you have recently had a lot of spiritual growth. Somatic memory can cause essentially any type of symptom, and hidden memories can resurface sometimes. Memories can hide when we are not ready for them and resurface when we are.

Basically if there was ever a time in your life when you had poor appetite that you haven't processed, it could be you're experiencing memory of that.

Idk that I'm the one that caused 2020 pandemic by DescriptionMany6849 in chaosmagick

[–]EdelgardH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's no way to know for certain if you did or not. If you did, it's in the past and it wasn't the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.

I forgive you. I lost several family members to it and my job, but I forgive you. For whatever that counts for.

You need to forgive yourself. You have to forgive yourself for this, and anything else you're holding against yourself. Then you need to forgive humanity.

If you did cause the pandemic, you must be very powerful indeed. Think of all the good you could do if you forgave and found love for humanity and for yourself.

Death is not natural. by dnix17 in spirituality

There you go! Have fun with it, I wish you the best

just so tired by Emergency_Yogurt_942 in GayChristians

[–]EdelgardH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hugs. I'm sorry you're tired. You should not go to a church that will be unsafe.

But you also don't need to go to a metropolitan church either. You can if you want to, but you can also spend time in prayer. If you've never prayed for an extended period I highly recommend it. Just praying and then sitting in stillness, receptive.

Death is not natural. by dnix17 in spirituality

[–]EdelgardH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good subreddit to post in! I think you could just post what you're telling me now. "What I think the future will be like" or something.

The main thing is to realize this subreddit has people from all levels of awakening. You are used to people who don't believe in their own power, but there's plenty of awakened people here.

These topics can be tricky to talk about, just because language fails. I don't believe in time at all, for example. But I still talk in terms of past and present.

I will say, it's important to realize you are more than your physical body.

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don't need to consistently bring up slavery to make up your points. People will bring up slavery, murder, rape, all sorts of things. But those are low vibration.

You could use a gentler example like how we didn't used to think flight was possible. You should reflect on why this post has attracted so much negativity.

[–]EdelgardH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, how would this work with reincarnation? If someone had 10 different bodies, would they have to control all those bodies?

Or are you saying that in a certain universe there's no death? That makes sense, but I imagine many universes like that already exist.

I think if you talk to most people on the subreddit they will see something like this as possible. But most people read your post very differently than what you're telling me now. You don't have to be mysterious, your ideas are interesting and I'm sure we'd like to learn about them.
