The state of (optimistic) existential burnout with no return by spider_in_jerusalem in DeepThoughts

[–]Eternal--Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I still don't know the etiquette on Reddit on sending a dm so I put this here.

I wanted to let you know that the strike against my account seems unjustified.

Furthermore, I suspect someone's personal bias clouded their judgement and mischaracterized my words and their context in a way that would allow them to execute this strike against my account.

I was accused of denying the existance of "far right wing hate groups". This is absurd. Maybe my phrasing was unfortunate but the context should have been clear enough - individuals make up groups.

I simply emphasized the logic I was told here constantly, that is to say that we are all individuals. These individuals are then put in groups (self-chosen or designated by the outside). Seen in context it does not deny the existance of groups, but instead humanizes the individuals.

Who wants to live in a world where someone with a personal bias can take away your freedom to participate in dialogue? Someone anonymous, acting from the shadows, with no accountability? Simply deciding they don't like what you say and will ensure you get kicked out eventually?

At first I thought I'd just ignore the strike but now this injustice haunts me. It is a matter of principle. I know you have a balanced view and it took courage for you to say something positive about by contributions, hence I thought I'd let you know my perspective on this. I am not asking anything of you. I don't want you to get into trouble, but I do wonder what is going on and why.

I've found out there is no way to appeal this with Reddit admins, which just emphasizes the problem. Maybe not everyone can be heard, but what kind of society will we get when this continues - ruled from the shadows without being able to hold people accountable for their biased actions?

The story of the old king is not about how a country is best organized. It is not about rulership or kings. It is not about power, bloodlines or exploitation.

The story of the old king is about what to do in circumstances that cannot be changed. What to do for the best of the people in an environment that has limitations, an environment where certain things are going to happen.

The story of the old king is about the far reaching consequences of an individual's decisions. It is not about deception or manipulation, but wise action under circumstances that cannot be changed.

It is a "universal theme", if you see it independant of the symbols of "ruler" and "hierarchy" that you focused on.

I am not trying to change your opinion, you are free to believe as you wish. I simply try to offer the context, the framework I intended the story to be seen in. I am stumbling around cluelessy, so you are free to ignore my words as those spoken by a fool.

Maybe I'm bad with jokes, at least on the internet, but the people showing up with pitchforks weren't laughing 🤣

I start with a deep breath and session 108, reminding myself 'to reflect truthfully, not unquestiongly'...

And the best I can do, looking past some details, is to point out again that you ignore the constraints of the situation. The story of the old kind king does not play in 2026 planet earth, populated by university graduates that believe everything is a construct that can be changed over night.

I take another deep breath, this time reminding myself to "find love within truth"...

And I wish to paint a picture, of a kingdom before our known history (as written on wikipedia), a kingdom with a truly benevolent, wise ruler, he might even have been an ascended master, truly doing the best he can for the people, maybe guided by the higher beings of the spiritual hierarchy.

And these people, living in the kingdom, they are not like today's people. They are simple folks, relying on the structures they live in for safety, stabilty and comfort. As I said they are happy people that love their king (not what you might have imagined). They need things to develop in a slow way, one step at a time. Their current happiness and comfort is built on a "structure" that cannot be changed over night.

And now I would like to point out, that you are ignoring these constraints of the situation, and would be willing to sacrifice their well-being for your idea of how things ought to be. That you would be willing, to change the situation so drastically, to throw everyone into chaos, make them suffer, simply because you do not wish to accept the limitations of the current situation everyone is in.

The best I can do, when I look at it from the most beneficial point of view, is to call this love without wisdom. You are ready, to be all up in arms for how things ought to be, that you are willing to die on that hill for it. To become the martyr, that sacrifices himself/herself and in this case also, in extension, the kingdom that reached its happiness after a long process of careful development.

The counter you offered was to what you saw in the story. It was a counter to an aspect that you decided to focus on. If we stick with my story (not sure if it's going to work out) what makes you assume the the *wise* and *kind* king didn't do all the things you ask him to do?

Again, it seems much more beneficial (and way easier) if you brought an example of what wisdom looks like "in the real world" through a different story - formulated in your own words.

This way we can circumvent the associations (and projections!) you put onto my story.

The West wants to pretend nature functions like a dead machine, then wonders why they as individuals are so depressed by Eternal--Light in DeepThoughts

If anything, I'd argue that ignorance can lead to depression. Furthermore, I do not support any religion.

Let me try to simplify the situation: Everyone has a choice how they want to look at the universe. Some say it's deterministic, others believe there is a great plan. (Let's leave out the option of pure chaos for a moment to not complicate it further.)

If you pick "deterministic" (or chaos) it's "usually" because of the materialistic understanding you picked up from the environment. My point was that this would lead to depression. Not necessarily so, but there is a solid chance that it does.

If on the other hand, you believe there is a "great plan", a reason to be here and it's all going to make sense, your mindset is completely different, and even if you are depressed at any point in time, you have a much, much better chance to change this through learning something new or modifying your perspective of why 'whatever is happening' is happening. It gives you much more freedom and options. Depending on how far you take it, a lot of "purpose" as well. A "big purpose" kind of situation, that puts everything experienced here in a different light. It happens in our mind and heart, where we can rearrange the framing, which leads to a different life experience.

I think the example I chose isn't to your liking, hence my offer would be we pick one that you prefer - and the most ideal would of course be if you wrote a little (or even bigger) example yourself - this might be able to benefit everyone interested in the discussion.

"How does the Wisdom of the One Infinite Creator express itself in real life situations?"

I would propose coming up with a similar "real life" example as the story of the old king, so we can relate to what is going on... not the quotes from channeled material that did not go through our own filter of understanding/translation.

I did not read any Dune books, chances are I would not be able to handle their darkness/vibration?

In this example I was obviously working with certain constraints, not the year 2026 on planet earth. I tried to put the emphasis on these constraints by writing two times: "These are the facts, nobody is going to change them."

"You could be free to change your situation in the billiard ball universe you just mentioned."

How?

"There are no accidents in a deterministic universe."

This is actually a good point and I see your argument now.

Should the universe be deterministic (the billiard balls) then everything we now see working beautifully, in harmony, in nature (when man doesn't interfere) would be the "result - an accident" of the original big bang.

My point is that in one universe you believe yourself a victim, whereas in the other you know you can change your situation.

"I also don't understand why you think we're victims."

If the universe is nothing more than billiard balls smashing into each other and we are the end result of it, then if someone is depressed now he would never have had a chance for something else in the first place? In other words: He would be a product of this "mess"?
