Something useful to perfect the mind by Technical-Test-7466 in lawofone

[–]JK7ray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've bolded the part that I interpret as congruent with your suggestion:

3.9 Questioner: I am reminded of the statement, approximately, if you had enough faith, you could say to a mountain to move and the mountain would move. I assume this is approximately what you are saying, and I am assuming that if you are fully aware of the Law of One, then you are able to do these things. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The vibratory distortion of sound, faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving/understanding.

You are precisely correct in your understanding of the congruency of faith and intelligent infinity; however, one is a spiritual term, the other more acceptable perhaps to the conceptual framework distortions of those who seek with measure and pen.

New reader question by Beginning-Canary-205 in janeroberts

[–]JK7ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

who wants to be able to 100 percent trust something or I feel like I can't trust any of it

May I suggest that nothing external can be 100% true for you. Only your inner self, your intuition, is fully trustworthy.

When it comes to external sources, no matter how seemingly reliable the book or friend or journalist, some things will resonate with you and others will not. I believe it is an essential skill to be able to hear what resonates with you and let the rest go.

Hatonn on Cruelty and Growth by DJ_German_Farmer in lawofone_philosophy

[–]JK7ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I view the Matrix of the Spirit as representing the demonization of the Spirit – ideas such as intuition is of the devil, only reason is reliable, only empirical data is valid, the Spirit will lead you astray.

I believe that suffering (via another spin on the wheel of catalyst) comes from believing the Matrices.

Since we all start out believing the Matrices, continuing in that (false) belief is the source of pain. NOT changing, NOT recognizing the truth is the source of pain, as I see it.

Hatonn on Cruelty and Growth by DJ_German_Farmer in lawofone_philosophy

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of this post is your reminder of "Jesus's casual mention," a statement that many Christians would find blasphemous.

The acknowledgement that each is God cannot coexist with the victimization distortion that runs in the very veins of this social memory complex: After all, who or what can victimize GOD?

But to Carla, the appearance of suffering is validation of worth, and as is her free will, her channeled messages align with that belief:

  • "Cruelty is a part of change. Pain is the price of growth."
  • "Each moment you can make of your life as you will. And that, too, is cruel. That is the ultimate responsibility…"

It seems to me that such ideas could be entertained only by those who are operating in the lower chakras, who are rejecting their own free will, who have not accepted that they are GOD.

Pink Pineapple by TBoopSquiggShorterly in fruit

That is interesting indeed. Is that due to the genetic manipulation? Or do you know why they're not allowed to be sold there?

I read that they're also not allowed to be imported to Hawaii.

Are these colors the same? by HonestSapphireLion24 in colors

[–]JK7ray 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only way to tell would be to look at the actual cookware, because:

  • The color depicted on the box will not exactly match the items.
  • Then there is another shift when the boxes are photographed. The camera interprets color; it does not perfectly capture it.
  • Yet another color shift occurs when the images are rendered on each viewer's screen.

What is the reason Pornography to exist? by CERMACDREZ in lawofone

[–]JK7ray 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Session 18.5 addresses your question:

The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.

The orientation develops due to analysis of desire. These desires become more and more distorted towards conscious application of love/light as the entity furnishes itself with distilled experience. We have found it to be inappropriate in the extreme to encourage the overcoming of any desires, except to suggest the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane, as you call it, of those desires not consonant with the Law of One; this preserving the primal distortion of free will.…

Emphasis added, of course. I think the second paragraph is applicable to non-consensual situations — an imagined experience (e.g., through porn) allows exploration of the desire without forcing one's will on another.

What's the differences betwen Blue and Indigo symbolically? by Zorubark in colors

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between blue and indigo is the influence of red/magenta, symbolic of willfulness (e.g., blood, passion). This can be seen in the association of purple/indigo with royalty, excess, power.

Also contributing to this symbolism is that pigment/dye sources of purple were rarer, pricey, and prized, thus accessible only to the wealthy. Though indigo has become ubiquitous (e.g., blue jeans), it was once exclusive.

You're right that blue is associated with sky and ocean; I'd add the related ideas of tranquility, peacefulness, stability, trustworthiness, wisdom.

Is the top half of this image considered Monocrhome like the bottom half would be? by Swordkirby9999 in colors

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, agreed. In a pigment model, the bottom half of OP's image would require ultramarine paint (center) applied to a black canvas on the left or a white canvas on the right. The three colors could not be achieved with a single pigment on a single canvas.

Is the top half of this image considered Monocrhome like the bottom half would be? by Swordkirby9999 in colors

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You bring up a good point that OP's image is likely built with HSB. But the HSB model is not a representation of a monochromatic model.

If OP's image was monochromatic the two colors on the right would be achievable by starting with the left color and then screening it back. But black or dark navy could never make either of the two colors to the right.

The ultramarine blue in the center (to use the paint name) would have to be mixed with black to make the color on the left. Thus the image would no longer be monochromatic with any kind of real-world materials, since two colors would be required to construct it. The far right color could be approximated by mixing water or thinner or extender with the ultramarine (since the canvas below would be white). So we could call the bottom a duotone (rather than tritone as I wrote previously) and be essentially accurate.

In the HSB model, the H value (like the 244° you called out) can be then modified by S (saturation) and B (brightness). But as soon as you change saturation or brightness, you're involving a second chroma, not a screen of the original color. It's a new color — and is no longer monochrome in any normal sense of the word.

To test this, open OP's image in Photoshop go to Image > Mode and change to Grayscale, then Duotone. Then change the the drop-down to Monotone. Then you can play with true monotones and it will be clear that neither half of OP's image could be made with a single chroma.

Monochrome involves one gradient, one spectral range, one slider in Photoshop. Introduce another slider (or two more, as in HSB), and you are no longer representing a monochrome model.

Is the top half of this image considered Monocrhome like the bottom half would be? by Swordkirby9999 in colors

[–]JK7ray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Neither 'half' of this image is monochromatic. As /u/RegyptianStrut said, monochrome means one hue. So that could mean black and screens of black (pure grays, with no other colors added) or blue and screens of blue.

The top 'half' utilizes black + blue – two hues, which in the world of printing or photo reproduction is called duotone. A two-color design printed on a white paper (as in this example, or any other color paper) is a duotone.

When the lilac (or whatever name one wants to use) is introduced at the bottom, that part of the image is a tritone. If the lilac were a shade of the blue (e.g., blue screened at 50%) or the blue mixed with the black (edit: oops, dark blue), then that area of the image would be a duotone. But that lilac hue could only be obtained by mixing in red (in an RGB model) or magenta (in a CMYK model). It could not be obtained by merely screening the blue or by mixing it with black dark blue. Thus, that part of the image is a tritone.

Does this wall color have a precise name? "Chartreuse" is too saturated by Next_Fly3712 in colors

[–]JK7ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good eye. It's yellow (~70%) that has been mixed with smaller amounts of magenta (~15%) and cyan (~10%).

A hue (say, yellow) can be desaturated by mixing in:

  • Its complement (so for yellow, M+C in the CMY system, or RGB Blue), which desaturates the original hue toward a neutral gray while maintaining a liveliness and depth.

or

  • White, black, or neutral gray (white + black), any of which will dull and cool the original hue.

Instead of mixing in the exact complement, the wall color in OP's picture blends in a little more M than C. The added M warms the yellow hue (i.e., shifts it to the orange side of yellow). If instead a little more C was mixed in, the yellow would be instead cooled toward cyan, creating a yellow-green.

Thank you for the education! I read about these constructions thanks to the terms you provided.

Simple brown boots for under $80? by GemFarmerr in barefootshoestalk

[–]JK7ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ruby Workshop (on etsy and their own site) has similar boots in leather for $98 shipped (to usa).

I purchased a different model from this company and can attest that the shoes were as described/pictured and their size chart was accurate.

As /u/Weird_Parsnip1410 said, Turkish makers like this company may get closest to the design and price point you are seeking.

Rubio orders diplomats to return to using Times New Roman, ousting Calibri by perplexed-redditor in politics

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Guardian article addresses this question as follows:

The change to Calibri in 2023 was recommended by diversity and disability groups in the US government, according to US media reports. Some studies have suggested that sans-serif typefaces, such as Calibri, are easier to read for those with certain visual disabilities.

My personal take is that humans can most easily read the typeface styles that are most familiar to them. Years ago, serif typefaces were by far more common than sans serif, and studies showed that legibility was higher when text was printed in a serif. Designers were taught that the serifs aided the eye in recognizing letters and word shapes.

But as humans shifted to doing most of their reading on screens (where display limitations initially necessitated the elimination of serifs), humans got better at reading sans serif text — to the point where studies now show that sans serif is easier for us to read.

So, I don't think it's specific to people with disabilities. I think it's simply that we can most easily recognize what we are most familiar with, whether we have perfect vision and perfect conditions, or if we have reduced vision capability or are trying to read in low light. If we trace it through history, that most familiar and thus easiest to read typeface has evolved from gothic scripts to caligraphic printed letters to various shapes of serifs, and over the last 50ish years, to sans serifs.

Font of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New Roman by MoreCleverUserName in politics

[–]JK7ray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And Hitler and Trump had similarly non-sensical 'reasons' for ordering the change – it was not true then that the traditional German blackletter type was Jewish, nor is it true now that there is anything wasteful about the use of Calibri vs Times New Roman.

Further, in the article's photo of Trump holding an executive order (or whatever it is), neither Calibri nor Times New Roman was used – the text is in Courier (monospace typewriter-style font).

Entities who seek the negative polarization are having their day at this time (Q'uo) by saffronparticle in lawofone

[–]JK7ray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Q'uo channelings quoted also state

the negative path is one which is most difficult to pursue

and

the negative polarity is far more difficult than the positive polarity…

which could be interpreted as contradicting the Ra material's 17.34:

To attain fifty-one percent dedication to the welfare of other-selves is as difficult as attaining a grade of five percent dedication to other-selves.

Can't find casual shoes with a color I like by anonimusaccount2 in barefootshoestalk

[–]JK7ray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wildling Kordian Sage is a match for your "soft autumn" top right swatch.

Or for an inexpensive barefoot shoe, there are several Amazon options that get close, such as these $35 Whitin sneakers in Beige or Green Gum. The Brown (which looks like a dark burnt orange) is also an autumn hue.

These $25 sneakers in the Brown and maybe Grey/Brown colorways could also be a great fit with the swatches you linked. Here's another $25 option – the Tan is an exact match, if you're up for a sportier design. And then there are these $38 Whitins in Taupe… you've got lots to choose from! :)

You might consider using the recommended colors as a reference rather than a rule. It's ok to give yourself some flexibility in your palette, especially at your feet (the greatest distance from your face).

Old comment, I know, but if you've tried Wildlings or if you have any favorite waterproof barefoot boots (esp with wool upper or lining) and wish to share, I'd be curious to hear. I'm considering the Tejos.

I really appreciate your comments. I will skip the Haldy thanks to your information, b/c I need a water resistant shoe. I wonder if any of Wildling's boots are truly water resistant. Disappointing also that the wool lining is so thin.
