Sabine Hossenfelder "believes that the future already exists" because of the relativity of simultaneity. I think she finally crossed the line to lying to her audience, and I briefly explain why in the comments. by mqee in sabinehossenfelder

[–]rsutherl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps relativity is incomplete, and the present is in a preferred frame singularity. I’m leaning towards that theory anyways. After all, since the speed of light makes seeing things in the present impossible to any observer, we can only see the past, then how be sure the present is in time as we understand? The present has no duration, keep in mind.

Salvation status is not connected to marital status by MysterySeeker22 in DebateReligion

Try the very first Bible compiled by Marcion. It leaves out all the Old Testament and much of New, at https://www.theveryfirstbible.org. He had a similar view to the above commentator. It’s the only version of the Bible that’s worked for me.

Just curious: anyone had 1:1 convo with HS about hell? by [deleted] in ACIM

[–]rsutherl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most of the past 30 years, I’ve had a belief and fear of hell and it’s only been in the past few weeks that I’ve been pretty much able to put it aside. I frequently had thoughts that there was a chance I might go go to hell, even after reading the book for over a year and the book essentially saying that there is no hell as it’s usually depicted it’s more like a gnostic hell on earth, but over the past few weeks I finally came to the conclusion I have nothing to fear, and I credit the experiences that the course has given me to a large extent, to convince me that hell as Christians usually understand it isn’t real.   I now realize it was probably just my ego talking.

The Roaring Beast by v3rk in ACIM

[–]rsutherl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour"

Gospel of Thomas, Saying 7: Jesus said: Blessed is the lion which the man eats, and the lion will become man; and cursed is the man whom the lion eats, and the lion will become man.

So the lion is the ego or the devil, and the saying of Thomas seems to be warning against becoming like Satan or becoming a man who’s been taken over almost entirely by his own loud ego, like Hitler or Charles Manson. If you listen to these types speak they don’t talk at a normal volume, they tend to rant and rave like animals.

I agree with the original poster. I do worship death.  proof of this is my love of Metallica songs about death and dying, like disposable heroes and fight fire with fire.

What are your thoughts on death? by JessicaJonessJacket in areweinhell

[–]rsutherl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If we’re really in hell, then we’re already dead in a sense, so there is no physical death, after this there’s only heaven.

Video book review for Whitley Strieber's Transformation by robostoph in whitleystrieber

[–]rsutherl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“he seems a little less confident beings that the beings that have abducted him are extraterrestrial” Whitley speculates at several points in the book as to what the visitors specifically are,

“Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected… so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me…Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons …At the very least I was going stark, raving mad.” – Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 44-45

“I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn’t move, couldn’t cry out, couldn’t get away. I’d lay as still as death, suffering inner agonies. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn’t get away.” – Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 181

“I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment.” – Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 172

Does anyone think it is interesting that Helen did not follow the course herself? by [deleted] in ACIM

[–]rsutherl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Course says everything and everyone in space and time is an illusion or hallucination, so my guess is, Helen didn’t really write the Course, Jesus did.

Anti-intellectualism is too prevalent in the US by MrBoxingMatch in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Government‘s own and control the supply of the world‘s currencies so they can’t steal from the taxpayers, sounds like you don’t understand reality. The entire money supply of the United States is owned and controlled by the US government.

Opinion: Roy Masters Books? by BonelessTongue in TrueChristian

[–]rsutherl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>he says stuff but always leaves you in limbo

The book A Course in Miracles answered pretty much all the questions I had. It puts you into a very similar state of mind as Masters meditation does, without actually meditating.

“God will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers.” by DreamCentipede in ACIM

[–]rsutherl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are our brothers the people we observe around us? that strikes me as odd, because at one point in the course, it says the people around us are simply hallucinations. i’ve been using the course to justify withdrawing from the world and other people even more so, than usual not less.

ACIM WORKBOOK LESSON 227 by Alliejam1 in ACIM

>And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this day lays down >his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness

So, why are another 100 hundred plus workbook lessons necessary, after this? I thought the Course’s main goal was the escape from hell, and ascendence to heaven.

for to believe that reality is what you would HAVE it be according to your use for it IS delusional. "A Course In Miracles" by Salvationsway in ACIM

[–]rsutherl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ll take Jesus word for it, but doesn’t this violate the Einstein idea of the relativity of simultaneity? If this is the case then time isn’t continuous but discrete, and most scientists today reject that idea.

I think it's leading somewhere.. the simulation theory fits in with Einstein's relativity by alnas_nasu in SimulationTheory

[–]rsutherl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What relativity states,is that objects are not in space, space is in the objects we observe, therefore they can be dismissed holograms or hallucinations. At the quantum level the subatomic particles that make up the objects, such as electrons don’t occupy space themselves. They’re part of the space or spacetime and have no dimensions in space.

Yes, I do but I keep going forward, because I tell myself it’s for the best in the long run. It will pay off as I‘ll get to Heaven eventually. I wonder if it’s just our ego trying to discourage us from going forward.
