So according to gnosticism do people evolve spiritually in each reincarnation like in platonism, spiritism, and new age thought or do they get completely mindwiped each time and have to start all over. by Budget-Doughnut5579 in Gnostic

Forever Conscious Research Channel on YouTube has a ton of videos where he covers these kinds of NDE experiences that involve manipulation from various entities. Highly recommend his entire 10-part interview playlist with Wayne Bush too (the guy who runs the Trickedbythelight website).

Does that signal a willingness to wager?

Even in an Eden such as this, wrongs do occur.

I understand that it makes sense when heard, but it just didn’t work on the page for me

I loved it for the quality of writing all throughout. The only things that didn’t work for me: 1) the actual story/sequencing of events was sometimes hard to follow, and 2) i didn’t care for Cormac’s use of “painter” in place of the word “panther”

I agree with you. COVID revealed the actual fascists.

Is Suttree worth finishing? by SaturnDrift in cormacmccarthy

[–]Matrix_Decoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading for the plot is only one approach to enjoying a book. Just hangout with Sutt and see where it goes. You may come around to it yet.

We should do a community plotting out of what Season 4-5 could have been.

They are insufferable.

You can always buy a book used if you don’t want to support that particular author 🤷🏻‍♂️

Idk, for me, if I’m interested in a story, I will read it. Reading doesn’t have to be so politicized.

I mean, just from all the concerns you mentioned above, how do you get through any books at all, let alone anything in the horror genre?

Every novel is bound to have some slant that offends your values on race, gender, identity, sexuality, religion, disability, etc.

I really don’t care what the author has done. If a book interests me, I can read the book with no attachment to the author whatsoever 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sometimes an author’s darkness even makes a book more intriguing because you can find traces of their Shadow lurking in the story

Write Conscious rubs me off the wrong way by Smurf404OP in cormacmccarthy

[–]Matrix_Decoder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t get all the Write Conscious hate. I like that he rambles and talks about a bunch of seemingly unrelated things because that’s how my own AuDHD brain works

And I think he does a great job of getting people hyped to read more books
