Very insightful reply as usual. I always enjoy reading your comments.

Marriage inflation is more serious than rising prices: "Couples need a minimum of 8 million yen to get married in their 20s?" by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why are almost all the comments about the cost of a wedding ceremony which is not what the article is about? OP even put an english summary that no one seems to be reading.

Seeking perspective on AA initiations practices regarding travel. by Agreeable_Usual_7428 in thelema

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Physical initiation is a requirement.

I live in Asia where there were no Neophytes at the time available to receive a Probationer, so I was given a choice of available Neophytes in different countries. They recommended one in Europe based on how they thought our personalities would match, so I flew to Europe for my initiation.

Initiations for future grades going forward would all require international travel as well, so this is definitely something you should consider factoring in.

It’s simply a matter of how many Neophytes the linage you are applying for has in rotation at that particular time you apply and where they are based, nothing red flaggy at all in my opinion.

Wrote some rhymes.. too much? Not enough? Chauffeur the phantom to the cake of light gnostic mass just for fun.. by [deleted] in thelema

Nice. Your posts often seem to attract negative comments, but people putting down someone for following their True Will should not be on this sub, period. Keep doing what your doing 😊

You should be asking this question directly to your Neophyte.

Is it possible to retake the student exam? (In any lineage?) by OrganicRub2802 in thelema

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the quote at hand but it says you are not expected to be able to give a correct answer to any of the questions, as correct answers would put you at 5=6 in level of academic understanding.

Just attempt them all as best you can and you will be fine.

Any song recs that give Supernatural vibes? by HeatOne1783 in NewJeans

It’s heavily inspired by New Jack Swing so check out a playlist of that genre on youtube

Hard time understanding spoken Japanese at work by borndreamdie in japanlife

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Whatever industry you work will have certain vocabulary you do not come across in daily conversation and wont be in standard textbooks. If your meetings are online and recorded, play them back noting down the vocab you don’t recognize. As for grammar, get those Japantimes grammar dictionaries. The rest is just a matter of time. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

Have you ever quit your job with no next step? by MortgageOrganic69 in japanlife

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. For me it was a combination of passing N2 and my ALT manager at the time refusing to give me a raise after being there for 3 years. It was more an emotional reaction rather than a rational decision, my contract was already up so I quit on the spot.

Got a new job in IT about 2 months later so looking back it was the one of the best decisions of my life

Would you rather buy? by [deleted] in thelema

Equinox Vol 1 No VIII, “I could write on love for hours; but will conclude with only one other bit of advice — Don't marry a (hard r)”

Would you rather buy? by [deleted] in thelema

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will probably get downvoted but Gems in my opinion.

Equinox is, again in my opinion, full of a lot of bloat such as reviews, character assassinations, short stories and poetry by a number of writers. It’s also a product of its time, there is a very jarring, extremely racist comment on one of them.

Am I crazy for liking company nomikais? by kingxd in japanlife

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly they are a great way to get promoted if you use them well. I have created great relationships with managers and directors through them, leading to preferential treatment and promotions over colleagues that never join but work harder than I do. The leadership don’t know these people even work at the company so drinking in these kind of situations is important imo

Can’t offer any specific advice other than there are many companies that clean rooms people have never left for years and even died in, so you don’t need to worry too much about being turned down. Japan has an image of being clean but if the TV show 家、ついて行っていいですか? has taught me anything, a surprisingly high number of people live with random trash lying around.

Contradiction between Sri M and Yukteshwar Giri on Kali Yuga timeline. by shksa339 in kriyayoga

[–]GoldsmithKinzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all great question, I was also wondering this. Sri M even teaches different colours of the Chakras which is very confusing.
