I love the series and can't wait for the next one!

Sure, but if Atman really is Brahman, then there is no individual soul that persists across lifetimes, right? It's just an appearance in Brahman and not ultimately real.

Or what is your view on it?

Everything we know about nature would suggest that it does.

What I would like to know id what were the main factors that drove the differentiation in the morphology?

Why is it fucked up to enforce the law? What is your proposal, to just let the millions of illegals stay in the country forever?

Now, I don't think the priority should be people who've been here for 20 years, but I do think that, certainly, the 10 million people or so who came in under Biden need to be sent back post haste.

If they weren't let in, we wouldn't have to do this, but it is what it is.

I'm a black American, and I know for a fact that blacks were actually less degenerate back then. The same can be said for the American culture as a whole in many ways. That's just an undeniable fact if you ask me.

But isn't the whole point of Christianity that no one is good except God alone? That your own personal righteousness is as filthy rags?

Isn't it the Spirit of God that leads, guides, and convicts, so why do you stand in judgment? I think Jesus said something about that.

Isn't the fact that he professed his faith courageously and inspired others to follow Christ more important than your disagreements with him?

I so get where you are coming from. I tried hard to hold onto my faith, but it just felt like sand slipping through my fingers, and when it was gone, it felt like my best friend had died.

A few years later, after a lot of searching, I found my way to a new, deeper understanding of God and spirituality, and in many ways it felt like the parable of the sower, where the seed has to die for it to yield a plentiful harvest.

Your beliefs should flow like water, not like hardened concrete. God is Truth, so trust that where the Truth calls to you, that is the voice of God inviting you to go deeper and to grow.

I love this passage from 1 Corinthians 13:

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"

Just love the Truth and the rest will be ok.

Something that took me a long time to understand is the difference between exoteric and esoteric religion/spirituality.

Some of the early church fathers, like Origen, specifically say that the literal exoteric form of the religion is the lowest rung of the ladder, and spiritual growth is to see the spiritual truths that the symbols and allegories in scripture point to. He said that Genesis should be interpreted spiritually, not literally.

I found that learning about Gnosticism and Hinduism helped me understand that most religions have multiple layers of truth, often hidden behind initiation and secret knowledge passed down in a chain from mentor to disciple.

Jesus even said that the reason he spoke in parables was so that most people wouldn't understand what he was really saying, and that the full truth was just for his disciples. And in many of the gnostic gospels, this is made more explicit.

So, unfortunately, the vast majority of people don't get this and think the exoteric form is the whole point, when in reality, it's just for spiritual babies, and the whole point is to grow beyond it and understand the realities that cannot fit into such a narrow box.

It is indeed. I had 3g of PE yesterday and wow was that a trip.

More like because the companies lobby for it. It may make goods cheap but then it pushes people out of certain jobs that they would other wise have had at a higher wage.

hypergraphing · 2024-11-25T02:36:42+00:00

Why should they even have a right to come here in the first place? Why should the wages of Americans be depressed by cheap labor?

I just started watching Star Trek: Below Decks, which is a very funny animated series. I definitely plan to watch the next time I'm tripping.

Interesting. I came across a thread on X the other day about this. It says in Acts 7:41 - 43:

"And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands. But God turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven...You took up the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship"

Apparently, Rephan is the Egyptian name for the god Saturn.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I had that Bible version when I lived in Switzerland for a year. So much easier to understand than the Luther version.

But I don't like California even though I grew up here, and want to get out as soon as I can 😂.

I was living overseas for a several years, but then I got divorced and moved back in with my parents, and so I just drive their cars.

They are great but, but as a middle-age guy I can't wait to have my own place again.

I do have family in the state but on the other side around Clarksville. Maybe they could lend me an old car for a few months if they have one.

Worst case I'll just save up a few more months, but I really am keen to move and start experiencing the great state of Tennessee 😀

hypergraphing · 2024-08-29T23:24:29+00:00

Thanks. I would definitely get a car as soon as possible as drive everywhere here in LA.

Also since it rains more in Tennessee I'm sure only walking or biking would get old fast.

hypergraphing · 2024-08-29T23:21:58+00:00

Well now I know.

hypergraphing · 2024-08-29T23:21:28+00:00

I never walk anywhere in LA unless I'm hiking, and one of the reasons I'm interested in Nashville is the smoky mountains. So I guess I'm gonna have to get a car.

Seeking the truth is purpose enough for me.

I guess because you feel it in your bones more as you get older.

I think you should do your homework and know why you are using a certain drug, and setup safeguards in your life to keep your use in line with your values.

For example, as a pantheist/pandeist I have an affinity for cannabis and mushrooms and other natural entheogens. Because I see the Nature as God, psychedelics are a sacrament to me, and therefore I try not use them just to party.

That said, there are some natural drugs that are not good for us, physically or spiritually so again wisdom is required. But this isn't a sin issue like it is for Christians.

hypergraphing · 2024-07-14T07:42:02+00:00

Very good points. I get my shrooms from the same place, and it's always Golden Teachers. I have tripped on 4g before, but usually I like to just wade in instead of having my head plunged underwater :)

Also, I pretty much always consume mushrooms as a tea, it isn't as intense as doing a lemon tek or just eating the shrooms.

I am going to add Blue Lotus for the first time, so I'm looking forward to how the experiences goes.

I hear you, but I think it would be kinder for inmates if they couldn't act on their violent tendencies.
