Yes you are right. That's why Truth=Love is important. If you are not aligning with Love, you are off track. Love needs to be factored in every moment and that needs serious work as Leo always points out. God's Love is a higher love than ours.

If what I wrote resonates with anyone and you want more details, read The Disappearance of the Universe. One of its claims is that forgiveness will save you many lifetimes of suffering and toil. The book gives a gentle introduction to A Course in Miracles.

One day the universe WILL self destruct. Just a matter of time. What happens here is nothing to do with Truth. What we are is Truth. We return to Truth either now or later. It is inescapable. Sooner seems better from a human perspective. but doesn't matter. Interestingly enough, God has provided an escape hatch as I discussed above - forgiveness.

It is an intentional way to look at the world. Through this lens, evil is regarded as being fear, confusion, misperception and mindlessness.
-
Ah yes, you combine two different responses. But yes it is the same thing. I am using forgive in a deeper than everyday sense. The everyday sense applies but this goes beyond. Forgive means to affirm that nothing real can be threatened and thus I drop the idea that something bad happened because I being absolute am invulnerable to harm.

Morality is a mental invention. People subscribe because they feel they must. In a pinch they do what is best for themselves.

I can behave any way I please. To suffer is to make an identity of it. My identity is what is absolute about me. Being awake to these things means I can be flexible. One day I might kill. The next day I say no big deal. What I do is irrelevant. I might decide to be altruistic. Next day I change my mind as to what that even means. No problem since it does not define me.

Do you understand the first part? Second part is because trying to forget is like me saying for the next 5 minutes you must not think of a pink elephant. Your subconscious will keep bugging you to remember it. You can't force forgetting since the forcing keeps the memory alive.
-
My identity is immutable. How I roll day to day is up to me. I can choose ways that make life easy or ways that bring suffering. Nothing is fixed in the relative. It's all good.

So be a chameleon in the relative world. I only support Arsenal since they are going to win the league. Next season I'll will be back with City.

There are two forgettings. If you forgive you eventually forget. If you forget and didn't forgive, karma coming after ya.
-
Do want you want in the relative world. Be who you are in the absolute. The two do not conflict or interfere.
-
God is immune to evolution. Only I change. To block out God every moment. God is happy to wait. In fact, its role is just chilling. It is not aware I am even gone. I just tell myself I am gone to prove change exists. Luckily God gave me a tool to stop bs'ing. It is called forgiveness. Forgive this silly dream and be back to chill with the blissful changeless.

Ego is one untrue thought - that goes on to conjure up a seemingly mighty universe. It can't and won't help you. Its job is survival and to keep you here. First step is, I am not ego. I chose ego and I choose ego. I don't have to though. I can choose God. Ask yourself, what is an obvious ego thought. What is its the obvious God equivalent. Hang with the latter and where is ego now? -
I told you what Truth is. It's all that exists. Problem is mind blocks it as best it can. Forgive that mind. That means stop blocking Truth. I explained how.

My two cents. There is one thing that's True, identity. The universe and the person looking back at me from the mirror is nothing to do with identity. However that person gives me a few breaths of opportunity to realize my identity. How? Forgive the false identity. How? Forgive the universe I assigned myself judge of. Forgive myself for being judge. And them my identity might appear. If not pray to be granted tomorrow that I get a few more breaths.

You're just here for you. Be here for me when you have gone the distance. Until then use the 4000 weeks this life affords you for you alone. All else is trickery and sophistry. Be ruthlessly selfish. Don't let one person dare impinge on your sovereignty to go your way.

It's all love for me all the time. - In Japanese, Ai (愛) most commonly means "love" or "affection". It represents deep, often selfless, and enduring love, encompassing romantic love, love for family, or love for hobbies. It is distinct from koi (戀), which is more passionate or selfish romantic longing. Key Aspects of "Ai" (愛) in Japanese: Common Usage: Used in compounds like ren'ai (romantic love) or as a popular, often feminine, given name. Deep Love (愛 - Ai): Represents profound, caring affection (e.g., aijou - love/affection, aishiteru - I love you). Alternative Meanings: Depending on context, it can also mean "indigo" (藍). Cultural Context: While used for love, it is often considered a very strong, serious word, sometimes deemed too intense for everyday conversation compared to suki (like/love) .

What good is it to know if you don't know you know. You might be delulu*. Epistemics is knowing you know not feeling you know. * "Delulu" is internet slang for "delusional," referring to someone holding unrealistic beliefs, fantasies, or romantic fantasies that are not based on reality. Originating in K-pop fandoms to describe obsessed fans, it is now used playfully by Gen Z/Alpha to describe having high, albeit unrealistic, self-confidence. -
For me the world was made to keep me in captivity forever. It can serve a different purpose. Not by getting to know it but changing how I see it. If I do the latter, then doing the former is just extra credit. I already satisfied my responsibility be getting out of here alive.
-
Anyone catch a typo or maybe I'm wrong. In either case I disagree even if corrected. I have one responsibility. In the world it's good to understand others but ultimately for me a futile counter-productive, distracting and wasteful errand.

Inspired by Leo, I drafted the ACIM epistemic framework: Epistemic Humility - I don't know what anything means Epistemic Suspension - I am willing to set aside what I think this thing in front of me means Epistemic Responsibility - I am entrusted with a single choice of thought systems -either the world's or God's; And I accept that the world's thought system - and its relative epistemology - is meaningless and I choose to have God's be remembered. Epistemic Correction - I pause a moment in order that my misinterpretation be undone Epistemic Non-interference - I of myself refuse to manage, fix or manipulate perception Epistemic Vigilance - I check in with the mind for shifts in thought system Epistemic Trust - I accept the correction rather than seek the explanation Epistemic Minimalism - I accept what meaning is given me and only that Epistemic Immediacy - I accept truth is known directly not mentally inferred

My two cents. There are two kinds of “bad” in life: 1. The bad you forgive If you remember it and forgive it: The charge gradually fades. In time, you may even forget, because it no longer has any emotional claws. If you had forgotten it and then later forgive it (when it surfaces): The hidden pattern loses all power. What once shaped you unconsciously no longer runs your life. Forgiveness is what dissolves the hold. 2. The bad you don’t forgive If you remember it and don’t forgive it: The pain stays alive. It quietly taints your interpretations, reactions, and relationships. If you forget it but don’t forgive it: It doesn’t disappear. Instead it goes underground. It manifests as triggers, fears, defensiveness, or repeated patterns you don’t fully understand. Unforgiven pain doesn’t vanish. It waits and pounces unconsciously. If forgiving seems like an impossibility, real support such as therapy and honest dialogue, can help loosen what feels fixed. Without releasing resentment, lasting peace is very hard to access. Forgiveness frees you, not the other person. They still live with the consequences and if need be, pay the price that society demands. Forgiveness is what gets you out of jail not them. edit: Forgiveness is not an action, it is a thought. You let go the idea you are a victim who was harmed and is damaged.
