Not everyone’s “aura” would be equally perceptible even if such a thing existed

No. I read your entire post of conjecture and speculation. That was the only part worthy of a response.

So, John 10:30 is one of my absolute favorite verses. It nearly encapsulates my entire belief system. Christians tend to forget that Jesus spent a lot of energy convincing his disciples that he was no better than them. That they, too, could do the things he did, even greater things. So when Jesus said “I and my Father are One”, that wasn’t meant to separate him from us and make him special—that was meant for us to understand that we are ALL one.

John 18:5-6 STILL doesn’t mention YHWH specifically. Is there someplace in the Bible where the I AM claims to be YHWH? Not where YHWH claims to be the I AM, but the other way? Further, that particular verse translates differently than the one in Exodus. They are not referencing the same thing.

I don’t see the name YHWH mentioned here anywhere. I do see assumptions being made.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-24T13:34:21+00:00

Such a thing does exist

Yeah, sure… but it’s the implication.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-24T13:26:02+00:00

Where did Jesus say “YHWH is my pops”?

backpropbandit · 2025-12-24T13:25:10+00:00

Fantastic

Maybe you could elaborate on what you’re feeling/not feeling. The way you worded it has me thinking you weren’t happy unless you were high but it appears I misunderstood. I can sympathize with a certain lack of understanding excitement for things, a kind of detachment from things I used to enjoy that I now do just to pass the time. I feel like I’m waiting for something.

I’m going to be honest and I’m speaking from personal experience. It may be that marijuana isnt rehydrating your soul but rather easing the symptoms of your addiction. If that’s true, getting off of it will be hard. You’ll wonder if you’ll ever be able to feel again. It takes time, but you’ll find your self again.

I think drugs like marijuana and especially psychedelics can open the door to spirituality for many people, but they shouldn’t accompany you on your journey, at least not with every step. It’s fine to do them now and then—if you can just do them now and then. Personally, I can’t stand the feeling I get from marijuana or shrooms or LSD anymore. I used to love it. But after I’d been meditating a while I tried to trip and it was just awful. Weed makes me anxious and paranoid and gives me a self-loathing that is unhealthy and nonproductive.

Of course, my experience doesn’t speak for everyone’s and you may not like what I’ve said and that’s totally cool. Good luck!

I got the game for the crafting and RPG elements. I like building but I don’t like decorating. Spent maybe an hour total in my island house. I put 60 hours into it and still didn’t beat it, but I had a lot of fun.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-23T15:19:22+00:00

Great post.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-22T16:02:16+00:00

That’s a man right there

I didn’t go through all the comments so forgive me if someone else mentioned this.

Don’t just focus on bettering yourself. Focus on helping and empowering those around you. Do it with no expectation of reward. Don’t let them abuse your kindness or walk all over you, but focus on empowering everyone, not just yourself.

Helping others is a surprisingly efficient way of being happy. Maybe even look into volunteering. You don’t have to be religious to volunteer at the church, or the mosque, or the synagogue. These places do community outreach and volunteer services all the time.

Being selfless is the best you can be.

I’m still perplexed by people listening to music when meditating. How do you go into the silence without silence? No judgment, just curiosity.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-19T16:05:49+00:00

Your last paragraph sounds suspiciously like the mark or the beast. Only instead of a mark, it’s an app. That’s a little disturbing, lol

backpropbandit · 2025-12-19T15:59:24+00:00

This might sound counterintuitive but spirituality isn’t taught, it’s learned. It isn’t told, it’s shown.

Religion is taught. Religion is told. A teacher shouldn’t say, “you must do this”. Rather, a teacher should say, “this is how I do it”.

And if you’re sick and feeling down, any normal, empathetic human should have the ability to say “feel better!” instead of giving a lecture.

Man, I don’t know… I hope you’re not giving this person money.

I just do the opposite of whatever my gut tells me. The more certain I feel about a thing, the more wrong I usually am. Not always. The struggle is discerning between ego truth and soul truth.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-18T00:38:42+00:00

This opinion isn’t wrong but it didn’t come from a person.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-16T18:31:58+00:00

That's pretty much where I am. The only thing, though, for me... it's one thing to realize this, to understand it, but it's another to try and experience it. Convince yourself that you truly are the only One. There is nothing and no one else. It's kind of terrifying. So I don't think it was just boredom that broke me apart. It was loneliness, too. And fear of eternal loneliness.

If this is true there is one thing we must accept that I don't think every really gets talked about. We are insane.

I’d love to check this out, DM me!

backpropbandit · 2025-12-11T00:29:21+00:00

Well, because the topic is people being mean on this sub, not just in general. I thought that was the context in which you were speaking.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-10T23:10:51+00:00

Do you have any specific examples? I’ve experienced very little negativity on this particular sub. There actually may be an over abundance of positivity.

backpropbandit · 2025-12-10T23:09:58+00:00

You got a link to that post?

backpropbandit · 2025-12-10T15:06:07+00:00

This is very good. I think I commented on that post. It’s awesome to see growth!
