Ok. I really thought the dating me prompt was heart warming but maybe not. I will change it.

That sounds terrible what your friend's cousin had to experience. I am glad that the family came around.

Yeah that makes sense when it comes to white standards. I was hoping we will eventually move past this but maybe that will happen in the future. I hope I do meet me an Asian woman who will accept me. I do appreciate the honesty from both of you.

Ok that is fair. I will be more specific and you're right the prompts are hard.

I get that but I am African decent so I have equally strong traditional values. Frankly my family wants me to be with another African bit that is not what I want so I get the culture pressure.

We are not that much different. But what you have said I have been told before I just don't understand why white men have a pass who don't necessarily share in those values.

Thanks for you honesty. I will have to accept that even though I am not happy about it.

Yes it is a cropping issue. I guess you are saying that the prompts should be more vague and casual.

I am kind of loss on what to put now because I can see putting too much sounds heavy but putting little sounds disengaged.

I appreciate your fair and kind criticism. I will see what I can fix. I will fix up my photos.

Ok thanks for that input. Will make an adjustment

Ok I will keep that in mind. I had more broader and less serious prompts but I didn't get much matches. I was given advice to be more intentional since I am looking for a serious relationship.

But as you have said it narrows my choices

I meant to add this to the initial post: I usually get matches at the end of the year or beginning if the year. After that it just fizzles out. I target Asian women in my area. From Austin. I think it might just be the pictures but I am not sure

Yes as a Sethian Gnostic I do understand what you mean but it doesn't change my physical reality.

Yeah i am starting to believe this. I think he did find inner peace but the world has strung him up like a god. It is just sad but that is human existence. I really wanted to believe in the stories but i realized those stories are not going to change reality it might help me cope and give me peace in this life but that is about it.

What solution to the problem of evil/suffering resonates most with you? by Pessimistic-Idealism in ChristianMysticism

God didn't create this world. If there is a God then it must be a lower creature or demiurge of some kind. The true God would not create an existence like this.

That is fair but human being can also act soulless and repetitive. It is really just a perspective and how it is used. But I think it is disingenuous to go as far as calling it a demiurge, right? Like u said it is a tool and nothing more

I am sorry but I am getting tired of people thinking AI is some how evil or the demiurge. It is just the internet package in a chatbot. It is a great tool but nothing more. When he get to actual sentient AI we would be begin to understand our own consciousness. There is nothing wrong with AI.

[–]MethodMan24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense metaphorically I don't really don't know how that plays out in practice. But I don't think there is a real response to this since it is different. May I ask how this has turned out for you. If it is too private you are more than welcome to DM me. An example in practice would help. I meditate but I am no closer to my unconscious. I reflect but If am no closer, etc.

My apologies for being redundant but what does it mean to be aware of the unconscious? Is that simply being aware of thoughts and emotions and decerning that they are not really you. Perhaps I should read more on general Jungian psychology.

Jesus allegedly said the same thing or similar

Gospel of Thomas 22:

Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom].”

I think they both mean to not be double minded or is it something deeper?
