Correct. God is clay minus the clay, since clay is finite. -
Everyone intuits this and this video describes it perfectly. -
Habits and Disciplines Journey Entry #87 Okay, now this morning, I woke up at 7:00 am, but I stayed in bed until about 7:45 am. Its now 8 am, I am journaling right now and drinking my coffee. I wanted to get to the gym so that I could get a leg workout in, but I don't know if that is possible anymore. One thing that I'm realizing is that it really doesn't mater what order I do my morning routine in. I have had a healthy paradigm shift in regards to this, as I have realized that the intention of a morning routine like this is for an overarching goal, which is just to get things out of the way that set me up for success so that I can get on with the day afterwards and enjoy more success. It doesn't matter if I journal first or second or third, if it gets my ass out of bed on time, then that is what I should do. In the creative process, sometimes things change and you have to be able to adapt to that. When I try to get myself out of bed in the morning, the thought of showering is not enticing at all, so I procrastinate. However, the thought of drinking a hot coffee and journaling is VERY enticing so just lean into that, no harm there. Next thing on the agenda, I have realized that I really am hurt by this dance partnership break up and I should really talk to this girl about it. This is what a real man, or a real Thick Face Black Heart practitioner would do, of course ideally I am able to handle situations like these with dispassion and detachment, in which I am able to detach from the emotions that I am feeling in favor of a more wholistic, warrior-like mindset, but this is just where I'm at. On another positive note, I have about $1300 coming into my bank account tomorrow from this dance event over the weekend. I had owed my mom $320 and my dad $585 so I will be able to pay them COMPLETELY back. This is going to feel AWESOME to get this off of my shoulders. I also only have until mid March to pay back my debt relief program, that will also feel awesome. I feel like I'm finally starting to take back control of my financial life. Some things that I would like to save for: I need to start saving money in my bank account in case my car craps out on me, this is essential, I have no idea how long this thing is going to last, it is a 2001 Toyota Avalon with about 205,000 miles on it. The next thing is my heart surgery, I will have to pay at least $3,000 for it. There are the most important things but there are more things that I would like as well, lets make a list and order them by priority: New smooth shirt and smooth vest: $300 Heart Surgery: $3,000 New car: $5,000 Shrooms: $200 Upgrading teeth: $3,000 Dating coaching: $2,500 Tattoos: $500 Buying a condo / house: $10,000 Morning Routine: Wake up at 7:30am: 1 Make bed: 8 Journal: 88 Brush teeth streak: 90 Floss streak: 1 Shower streak: 61 Meditation streak: 2 Affirmations / Visualizations streak: Hitting on women visualization: 2 "I love having sex with lots of women" affirmation: 2 "I see funniness everywhere" affirmation: 1 "I am independent of the good or bad opinions of others" affirmation: 1 Free Talk exercise (Say anything that comes to your mind): 1 Night time routine goals: Brush teeth streak: 3 Wash face streak: 1 No electronics before bed streak: 3 "Whole day" goals: No porn streak: 1 No ejaculation streak: 1 Eat 150 g of protein streak: 0 No alcohol streak: 89 No smoking weed streak: 44

@Joshe I agree with this to great extend, I would say my purpose first was more brought and then it became more narrow, by noticing what resonated with me and what didn´t or as chatgpt says `what fucked me up` hahaha. I would say first find the broughtest thing that could be your purpose like. Inner work, inner growth for example. Or self development. Or even more general like growth. Then you take in this case the direction `growth` and explore all aspects of that and just go in a direction that resonates more with you and overtime it becomes more and more specific. Because even if your purpose would be cooking, it wouldn´t be likely that it would be all the different dishes from all the different countries of the world, you would probably resonate with either Japenese cooking or french cooking more then cooking all of the different dishes. Unless you have a very specific personality type that wants to cook a dish out of every single country and never get to perfect a specific dish. If everyone had that personality type then the world wouldn´t have Indian restaurants versus Japanese restaurants, I think we are naturally going from more brought to more specific, but its about not rushing that natural process and starting as brought as you can.

Hopefully you’re familiar with Play-Doh and had fun with it as a child. Consciousness is like play-doh, it molds itself into any form it wants. Now-When you play with actual play-doh, you are the on molding it into form. But now imagine if the play-doh molded itself, not needing anything outside of it to shape it. It would also be the underlying substance of everything-form within it would be distinct, but non distinct as it relates to what it’s made out of. Not only does it mold itself, but imagine that the Play-Doh was the only thing in the Universe that existed, to the point that it was the actual Universe -that there was no “other to the Play-Doh. It’s also indestructible-Infinite. Now, in your direct experience-you recognize Play-Doh as Existence itself, which also the same as recognizing it as Consciousness. Finally-you merge with the Play-Doh, so that you no longer are separate from it. You BECOME the Play-Doh, recognizing that you always were it- Infinitely. This is what it mean to become God-the Infinite shape shifter, and craftsman- it’s Beautiful ❤️

I rarely blame the people in states. There is some collective blame for having a government that would tolerate idiocy, but in the grand scheme of things risking international incident to indulge a man-child so he can have his toy soldiers around him, and stroke some egos back home, isn't worthy of too much notice when running a country. However it does pose increased risk for the event as a result.

The economic downturn continues in Russia, and for me a collapse is becoming the more likely outcome if they don't give up on taking land they don't currently occupy. 2-3 more years of this? 1-2 Million more casualties? As drone attacks just continue to improve. Maybe but they'll lose a lot of civilians in the winters to come. Not unless Xi, Trump and Modi more directly bail them out. Apparently talks are ongoing right now, as I believe they are looking at this as I am and wondering if they will make it 2-3 more years. But as they get more desperate, the lies get more fantastical; now they are claiming they have taken settlements behind forward lines they are already losing. And some good news on the economic side, the Russian shadow fleet gets more restricted but the EU.

Well as I've shown, tons of Italians are protesting it. I don't think you should blame Italians for this one. -
ICE is the American president's paramilitary force. It doesn't matter what they call themselves, that's what they are, the republicans own military force. However using them as bodyguards at a public event is idiotic with how badly trained most of them are. It'll also make them a target for anyone with a grievance, and so it's also idiotic that the Italians would allow it when 20 to 100 guys in suits or alternative military gear would do a better job. Stupidity all around.

While y’all are arguing about Ralston, I’m sitting on my couch contemplating reality, self, and mind. Ralston seems like a good guy, but Ralston cannot awaken you. Idolatry is a distraction. Every person on the planet carries truth and falsehood in their worldview. Everyone. Including myself. I’ve been wrong about many things I thought I was right about. Nobody is above me nor you. Is Love just an animal emotion? No. You aren’t getting it because for an animal to have any emotion whatsoever requires Love to make that happen. Love is Connection, Unity, Oneness that contains within itself division and separation. But you couldn’t have division/separation without Unity in the first place. Love isn’t the same thing as happy bliss. Love also includes evil. Love is a tick on your nuts.

Fuck yeah, we are now definitely getting to the juicy part of all of this, which is: "What does all of this mean for my actual life?" It is important to note that answering this question and living according to the insights stemming from it, is a work in progress for me too. Before continuing, I want to point out that I don't want to talk any of you into believing that they should regret any past life choices. I sure as hell don't. ALL of your life experience is valuable, ESPECIALLY the bad decisions you've made. Also, I fundamentally reject the idea of regretting ANYthing. There is truth to this, but you have a very dangerous flaw in your argumentation, which is this: Why do you assume, that challenges have to be external? I want y'all to live like cats. When you observe a cat, you will notice that you can hardly play with it, when it is not in the mood for play. In contrast, when it's in the mood for play, you can barely stop it from playing with itself. This is because, when it's in the mood, it will see every object in your room as a toy. Also, it will adjust the amount of challenge automatically, for example by attempting more and more difficult jumps, since when the play is not challenging, it's not fun. My claim is that if you are a passion oriented person (ADHD, executive dysfunction) you are required to be the main supplier of your own challenges. If it makes you feel any better, you can also frame it like this: Non-passion-oriented-people have difficulties at figuring out what's worth learning by themselves, which is why universities exist, so they can go there and be spoon-fed knowledge curated by their professors who have done the same thing. This is correct. I'm sorry I have not been precise enough with my writing. Yes, non-passion-oriented gifted autistic people will have stellar careers in technological fields and non-passion-oriented gifted HSPs will have stellar careers in psychology and adjacent fields (this is still very simplified, of course). My radical claim is: The reason why everybody reading this is at least to some extent a passion oriented person, is because if you weren't, you'd not be here to learn, but instead you'd just invest all of your energy into taking more courses at university so you have your phd faster or whatever. (or working longer hours to increase your wage, I think you get my point.) That sounds like an awful lot of repetition and predictability for someone claiming they're the opposite of autistic 👅. My claim is that me and you, like most people here are somewhere on that autism-psychosis spectrum you sent in here, with some features of both. (psychosis=HSP in my mind, I know this is a radical claim that needs more evidence, but it is a useful frame for now) I have not gotten to my main point about enabling yet, but I need to take a break😅

Populations are not divided into war lovers and peace lovers. They are divided by institutions and groups that frame violence as necessary and populations that when under fear accept it. Fear is the tool of the dictator and the authoritarian. The only metric you could give me is, how afraid do the population of israel feel right now?

There are different types of existence. There is the existence of the inside of your room, the stuff you can directly perceive. Call it direct existence. You know that if you look outside your room, something will exist there. There is never non-existence. But until you look you can't know exactly what will be there. Call this unknown existence. You can build a model in your head about what might be there and trust that model, but whatever, it is not direct existence. If you hear a noise from outside your room, then that is direct existence, but it's not the full experience of the outside of the room. There is a sliding scale between unknown existence and direct experience. -

Seems no one really cares about this, but it's not a good precedent to start sending ICE agents around the damn world.

How did people do it when modern supplements didn't exist? I do still feel we get vitamin D even on cloudy day, our dear sun is ultra powerful, the rays are said to still penetrate through the clouds. How or what is optimal i don't know, but i go by how i feel above statistics or paper. One doctor once said, if we didn't need it 100 years ago, we don't need it today.

Tunnels make sense then lol It's mainly Western empire not Jews - before the West it was other empires and even during the Wests reign other imperial powers existed but got squashed (Japan). The West has just dominated the imperial space the past centuries from colonialism till today where it is now being challenged into retreat by BRICS. Israel and Zionism is a very influential and powerful node within that wide architecture as I commented on on the previous page. Russia also had its own imperialism during the USSR simultaneously along side the West which is what the Cold War was about. But at the same time - Islamic, Chinese, Russian and increasingly Indian civilizations are large enough with enough binding glue of identity they want to fight for and not bend the knee to Western powers. Any power (Iran, Russia, China) or even non-power (Venezuela) that doesn't bend the knee to the uni-polar order gets targeted. Islamic civilization is potent but divided - and was divided. Today they are coming closer together un-evenly and haphazardly trying to extricate themselves and hedge against the West - each to varying degrees depending on their strengths and weaknesses. Gulf countries with oil money, Turkey and Pakistan with some muscle as deterrence and in Pakistan's case having the coming (already arrived?) superpower China on its side as its ''iron-brother''.

At its most basic it's Jews returning to their historic homeland. The term Zionism is new but the idea existed among Western Christians (protestants, calvinists, evangelicals) from before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism A big reason for it being well received and acted upon was because the powers of the time were already primed for it. That's aside from the material conditions - fall of Ottoman empire giving way to the British empire governing Palestine + mass industrial scale atrocities in Europe (culminating in the holocaust) = need for a moral and strategically aligned solution / project to replace a declining British empire that needed to leave that region without losing strategic influence. It's been Western aligned ever since and now tied to US interests as the baton got passed to the US as the world power. From the wiki link above: “The crumbling of the Ottoman Empire threatened the British route to India via the Suez Canal as well as sundry French, German and American economic interests. In 1831 the Ottomans were driven from the region of Syria (including Palestine) by an expansionist Egypt, in the First Turko-Egyptian War. Although Britain forced Muhammad Ali to withdraw to Egypt, the Levantwas left for a brief time without a government. The ongoing weakness of the Ottoman Empire made some in the west consider the potential of a Jewish state in the Holy Land. A number of important figures within the British government advocated such a plan, including Charles Henry Churchill.[40][41] Again during the lead-up to the Crimean War (1854), there was an opportunity for political rearrangements in the Near East. In July 1853, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, who was President of the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews, wrote to Prime Minister Aberdeen urging Jewish restoration as a means of stabilizing the region.[8][42][43]” The starting point is the same (return to homeland) but the reason for return and what its meant to achieve is different for different groups which is where the confusion comes. Multiple reasons converged together - a divine promiseland, security from persecution, imperial strategy for empire. Herzel plugged into a existing worldview of the powers at the time who could make that vision come true. The major problem everyone has had and still has now is the implementation of that vision and that native Palestinians already existed there who are trying to be sidelined / cleansed.

Stop casting others here as some mindless cult zombies. You disagree with me. That is all. That doesn't give you the right to discredit others here who have done serious work and have Awoken to Love. Contrary to what you believe, many people have realized that God is Love, and not because I brainwashed them into believing it. I have never avoided any of your questions or arguments. I have answered them all. But I am not going to keep endlessly arguing about this with you because it is clear your mind is made up.

@Eskilon yes i've thought about this before. i don't have the perfect answer but i guess if you're wise and open-minded, this conflict is resolved (at least partially) with age and life-experience (?).

But you live in Australia with the strongest sun on Earth 😢 Meanwhile look up the UV index in southern Norway today (forget about northern Norway, that's essentially the North Pole).
