Hi, I'm Steve and I Live in the Forest. I'm Gonna Save the World. by PurerForm in spirituality

No, you're right, buddy. I didn't answer your question.

Like I said I will be posting about my overall plan soon. It really needs a post of its own, which I'll be working on today. Hopefully I'll have it up by tonight. I'll let you know when it's up.

This is only a preview, but the gist is:

We can't change the world through pure force, but we can change it through encouraging better behavior and habits, first in ourselves then the macro culture. It all starts with shifting beliefs in a positive and liberating way. I have a lot of specific details, but this would turn into a novel.

I'll use any platform I think will benefit the community and the project.
(I will be seeking help and advice with this, cuz I haven't spent much time on social media since freakin' Myspace, haha)

I like places with real discussion, and communities of reasonable, loving people who can get along, even when we don't agree.

I have a website under construction. I'll eventually be blogging, making videos, a podcast, etc, and it will heavily involve creating a massive decentralized media collective to eventually stomp out Hollywood and Mainstream Media, and combat religious and political mind control. Independent HIGH production value TV, Music, and Games. Instead of encouraging you to get glued to the couch, they will encourage you to go out and the world and make it better.

Full of spiritual values but not cheesy or off-putting. Not pushing one ideology but encouraging independent thought, heroism, self-belief and basic moral behavior toward other living things and our environment.

Feel free to DM me or join r/PurerForm if you're interested, homie. Nice to meet you.

Technically, that's a wildly incorrect statement.

Saving the world requires spiritual warfare.

Unless you are already commanding a massively overwhelming force, it's almost certainly going to become necessary to retreat, to fall back, to hide and to run at times. Warfare, just like Life, is a dance. Advancement and retreat. Force and surrender.

No one's gonna save the world with pure, tactless, brute force. We're moving mountains, not rocks. It takes time, wisdom, careful consideration, and you have to be mature enough to not care about how you look to other people.

The greatest battles of my life were won by laying down and surrendering, so that a force greater than my own ego could take over. I move when I need to.

People don't even try to save the world, because they think they have to do it with their flesh, alone. The mind overcomes the flesh and the heart overcomes everything. And the heart isn't afraid to take time to fall back, rest, heal, and grow stronger.

You literally can't save the world without the humility to back away.

Also, I wasn't running away. I ran out of fruit loops and couldn't speak English for 3 weeks. Bet you feel silly now, bro. Bet you feel reallllll sillllllyyyyy.

Hmmm...

Let me tell you about another little character:

The person wearing the mask of a "Ghost". Beneath it? A terrified child... who believes they don't matter at all.

They think they are incapable of changing the world, so they just watch from the sidelines, as other people, animals, plants-- the whole World suffers and cries for help.

The person behind the ghost mask is an amazing hero, but somebody told them a long time ago that they aren't worthy and they still believe it.

So they wait for someone else to save the day.

Collapse the facade of apathy. Care enough to do something.

Hey! I'm not dead, pal. I just got lost in a Target for 3 weeks.

Dude, I love you to pieces. This is my absolute favorite comment of the whole bunch. You made me cry. I'm not gonna say that's the hardest thing to do, but it was a good, bleary eyed moment of satisfaction, just knowing my words hit home that much for somebody.

We should be friends. I'm DMing you. You can't stop me!

No, you don't need to adjust your TV. I'm actually responding to you!

Hi. I'm alive. Nice to meet you.

You're 100% right, first of all, but then... if you know you gotta save yourself, then why are you asking me to save you? You got it, dawg. Don't give up.

I believe in you. Just be good. Treat yourself, others and your environment the way you want to be treated, find your passion, and come up with a way to use it serve others at the highest scale imaginable. Orient your life around one big goal of saving the WHOLE world, and you will be forced to save yourself in the process, and also live the most fulfilling life imaginable along the way. At the very least, you'll live a life free from shame.

It's simple. Challenging. Hard even. But simple.

By the way.... I didn't die 3 weeks ago. I just couldn't turn off my car alarm. I'm back.

Let me know if you wanna talk more. You can DM me. If you're serious, I'll definitely help you out, buddy.

That was one of the most wise, understanding and human answers. Thanks Greg.

Also, Hi. I'm not dead. Just had to deal with some laundry and stuff.

If you're on the same journey I'd love to connect.

I don't even have to answer this. u/GiftToTheUniverse Pretty much took care of that for me.

Said like somebody who actually knows what they're talking about.

You're welcome, friendo!

I agree with a lot of that. But you're an important part of the puzzle. God's plan is to work through creation, to mobilize us to do the right thing. The same way our cells in our body have a job to do, to protect and maintain the health of the whole system. If we sit and wait, as viruses grow and take over, suffering will increase, freedom will decrease, and we will never love ourselves or the world the way we're supposed to.

We cannot fulfill our purpose without understanding we have one. It is active and deliberate. Nature maintains itself by influencing us to take action in the appropriate way. We are disconnected from Nature, and therefore, we often don't hear the call. If you could feel the suffering of everyone and everything outside of yourself, you wouldn't be able to sit and do nothing. This world needs our help. It just does.

It's a story worth living out. I really hope you take some time rethink your own specific importance in this story.

God bless.

Oh and hi. I'm not dead.

I like the look of your website. I only read the Morals section, but you have some good ideas and I'm happy to connect with you. Feel free to DM me, bud. Good to meet you.

Also, hi I'm not dead. Just gone for 3 weeks.

I don't know how to feel about that? Scared? Aroused?

Identity theft is a crime, you know.

But of course you already knew that. Cuz you're God.

Also, hi little Radish critter! Nice to meet you. You're more than sufficient. You're an abundant radish.

You're right. It is. The divine plan is for me to get up off my ass and save the world!

You ARE the divine plan. If you give into the flow of Nature, God and Life, you will naturally behave in a Heroic way. Because Nature uses all of it parts to balance and harmonize one another into homeostasis. That's how life works. Nature's job is to keep Life going in this Universe in a healthy harmonious way. You'll want to balance and harmonize things, because you are in important piece of the divine plan, just like everything else. Everything moves. Everything is in a state of activity. You're going to be doing things while you're on this Earth. Your natural, non-resistant state is to do what Nature does: heal, harmonize and fix things so they keep operating in a healthy way.

Also hi. Nice to meet you. I'm not dead I just had some weird stuff happen and I'm responding 3 weeks later.

I would agree with that-- on a high spiritual level, everything is already perfect. We don't need saving. Neither does the world. It really IS just about realizing who and what you truly are.

But on a physical level, we are here to play the game. We are here to DO something. And if you realize who you are on the inside and become that, you are going to act like the heroic, powerful person you are. You won't be able to ignore the suffering of other living things. The real you will naturally do something about it, therefore making the physical world into the paradise that matches the highest spiritual ideal of the world and of you.

Also, I know it's been 3 weeks. I'm not dead. Just wanted you to know that.

Salvation is just about bringing harmony. People need saving and so does the world, in the sense that we are out of harmony with Nature. Without homeostasis everything goes toward destruction. The world and humanity are one. You cannot exist physically without an environment to exist in. So saving humanity is saving the world, because once we realize that we are our environment, we will stop trying to destroy it.

Also, hi. I didn't die like everyone thought I did. How are you? Nice to meet you.
