In Chapter 10 of the book, there is a dialogue between Socrates (the wisest man) and Hermes(messenger of God). The dialogue is one of the best takes on Epistemology that I have seen yet. I highly recommend reading this chapter: https://publicism.info/science/infinity/11.html The rest of the book is also insightful.

Hey Bambi, don't be an unpleasant deer. Where does a thought originate from? When Newton had an insight about gravity who placed that insight into his awareness? All credit goes to God. God is the only source.

@Fluran Corruption happens on both sides. However, Trump is more power-hungry and he will be willing to go to great lengths to keep it. Now that Trump has won the election, I suggest we become more familiar with Totalitarianism and how it arises. Arendt can help us in this respect.

I came across the following video which summarizes the work of Hannah Arendt, one of the best political philosophers of the 20th century. Anyone interested in how totalitarianism arises should become more familiar with her work (especially if Trump wins the election). Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing.

I think the majority of Trump supporters don't think for themselves. That is one of the reasons why totalitarianism arises. When everyone follows orders blindly, without critical thinking, they become the invisible hand of a dictator who can execute his will.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-082 When you criticize the enemy, you are separating yourself from Him. That is your punishment. The possibility for victory is made possible by the existence of an enemy. Thank you Donald Trump for being the enemy. Trump is a thief, liar, and pure embodiment of human selfishness. Can you love that?

So you don't want enlightenment to be sugarcoated?

You used to have much better ideas, Socrates. What happened? I think now is the right time for a philosopher king.

He has been talking a lot about crocodiles and Trump lately.

I present you my present, which can't be represented.

Only He who does not have a self can be selfless. For that is His nature. As long as you have a self, you will be selfish.

Your Hypothesis has already been tested. Timothy Leary and Ram Das locked themselves in a mention and kept taking psychedelics for months on end. No matter how high you get, you always come down. Read more here: https://miscellanynews.org/2022/09/28/features/the-hudson-valley-carries-a-notable-psychedelic-history/ You can't get enlightened through a substance or a method. Only through Grace after the ultimate surrender. Best of luck.

As long as you need courses on miracles, you do not deserve the miracles. Reflect on this.

Based on how much you talk about Trump, we must conclude you are secretly in love with him. If God were to create a mirror in which human selfishness can be reflected, could he create a better mirror than Trump?

Meister Eckhart said it best... "Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the Truth and let God go." - Meister Eckhart.

A bald eagle?

Do you know the power of a silent mind? From where does all 'knowing' originate?

Try the Glass Bead Game by Hesse. It is a literary masterpiece.

Giving advice is the wrong approach. At the end of the day, she will do whatever she wants. The best approach for a daughter is for the father to embody the ''divine masculine", so she has a preview of what a good male figure is. If the father embodies these qualities, the daughter will subconsciously seek those qualities in a partner.

Why don't you try to have an open relationship and report the results to us? Open relationships tend to work for some people. It allows both people to have complete freedom in dating so that they can maximize their hedonism. Jealousy is not even relevant because it comes from your insecurity of believing that you can "own" a person. The trouble arises when you want to raise children in such an environment. If both people prioritize their pleasures over the relationships, it gives you an indication of their values (valuing pleasure over progeny), and the children suffer in the end.

It is funny for a Lone Wonderer to be seeking a community Check out Foundation Arsaayian: https://fundacionarsayian.org/en/home/ . I have been to some of their gatherings. The founder is at stage turquoise and has a legit deep grasp of reality ( with an occasional performance of miracles ). You can join their community, but rather than singing kumbaya with them, I recommend you remain a LoneWonderer.

Good job.

This is just your projection. The highest knowledge wants to be shared, but it can't. If there is any fear there, it's not the highest knowledge.
