Just speak your truth. If you want some feedback, feel free to share your interview here.

Thanks for sharing her perspective.

The dude is a legend.

@Shodburrito I watched the video below while going through this forum post, so I will try to explain the difference between your perspective and Leo's perspective through the video. Please watch the video first. The person on the right is Harry Mack. A freestyle rapper who has spent more than 20 years working on this talent in solitude while creating music. The effort he has spent honing his lyricism in solitude is incomprehensible. The people on the left are athletes wasting time trying to talk to strangers online. @Shodburrito Now ask yourself, why are the guys on the left applauding Harry Mack? Because he demonstrated a capability that none of them has, namely to create a song on the spot from a few random words. Do you think this is a skill Harry would have developed if he was one of the athletes and socializing like them? No, very unlikely. There are benefits to solitude, especially if you are the one who wants to stand out from the crowd with your talents. There are benefits and costs to solitude, and there are benefits and costs to socializing. You have to weigh these benefits and costs and decide what is best for you. If you want to socialize, do it, but realize there are costs to it. If you want to be alone, do it, but realize there is also a cost to it. The beauty of this ordeal is that Harry needed words from the guys on the left so that he can impress them. If nobody saw his talent and he was only singing in his basement, there would be nobody that could be impressed by his talent. And the athletes needed Harry Mack to pull them out of their boredom for 5 minutes. So beautiful.

Leo is not our leader. Trump is. And he is a clown. @NoSelfSelf Hope you resolve the anger issue. You were just a moderator on a fringe forum on the internet. Relax.

Can you sell it without the jar, please?

Sorry to say this guys, but it's not real.

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.

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?
