Literary Filters & Rephrasers~Preface Euphemism - a mild / indirect word or way to substitute or replace an idea thats considered too harsh when referring to something unpleasant, embarrassing, etc. This almost gets into like, strategies of writing or how to change something, like almost like "grammatical filters"~Which i thought was an interesting sentiment, like ways of writing that dont fit as either a genre of writing, nor a device in the moment, but rather a spectrum of filters or ways of rethinking or rephrasing what you are saying. In English theres so many ways to phrase things, and much like programming on the computer, you can get stuck if you dont understand how to rephrase / restructure something, like for instance, i want to say — "The mongoose had a cat riding around on its back, however it was upset by the experience" Maybe you could change the last part to say, "... however it wasnt thrilled by the exp", or "... however it wasnt enjoying itself" Or, if/when you feel its sounding a bit odd, we could just start from the beginning like, "The cat jumped on the mongoose, although the mongoose didnt enjoy that the cat was riding around on its back" Or we could say, "The mongoose wasnt enjoying itself, as it had a cat riding around on its back" or changing it up entirely, "An event happened between a cat and a mongoose...", then explain the event. Like its probably a bad example, but there are definitely instances where you are stumped, cause you have a thought in your head, but the way its phrased doesnt translate to writing in a fluent and natural sounding way, or it doesnt sound right. Sometimes ya have to run it through a grammatical filter~or its a matter of changing it around — as if you put it through a machine in your head, and rephrased it to see which one sounds better -typeve thing. Yous can think of a better name for the latter method.

Yall are probably tired of the face job, Alas im not done w/ it, as im tryina guess — whos next, whether its from aging or botoxed, or they playin a joke, like whos the next to get the beestung face, or whatever~assoc. w/ their face. Now we cant add jered leto cause he doesnt age, and prolly already has botox and things like this keeping him young for the next 200 years. So the next might be Johny depp, tom cruise, though hes already at like max old & puffy, i think this is the case for leonardo and brad pit too, but i mean. Oh you kno... No, wait. We should try keeping it contained to those well known actors, right? This actually brings up an interesting dilemma, cause as im looking at the megalist of actors that I keep in my notes, im realizing theres: 1) lvl1, uber famous actors, then 2) It immediately goes to lvl 2-wherein im wondering how many ppl would know these actors, as the actors im thinking of only have 1 or 2 movies that theyre really known for. Maybe yous could thus list actors you think are well known nd such. *p.s. i realize the topic has changed, but it is cause i dont know what else to do without knowing more. Feel free to contribute to the first ques.

Now i jus seen somethin, where they approached jim carry in the midst of him like, ya know, covering himself to avoid paparazzi / and running towards his limo, and the paparazzi was like "You're not jim carrey, True or False?" And although you cannot really see him or hear him good, it sounds like he says "What!?" Like he hasnt a genuine clue what they are on bout.

Incarnatio~Into the flesh again, is basically what it all amounts to... ? Right, i mean you got your mind, your body, your spirit, the soul just being this... eternal, infinite, never dying, all perfect thing, or essence thats giving all things the experience of a real one (a real "-ity"), of something that moves, like liquid, or a snake; Ousia being the thing that the soul is emphasizing as such, And the Divine Light is also of the Semen in Latin, meaning seed, or a *spectrum of~that which we are all looking at, or alongside. It exists at our hearth, at the tomb/body. What do yous believe? Do you feel you come back as you, or maybe even its a reincarnation of *Another person INto you, or like a recapitulation of someone else, chosen from whilst in the Land of Reeds. I assume you heard of it and know what it mean. Even if you get devoured, you arent done. As a member of the soul, there is no choice. You can only ever press "continue". You cant say "nah im good" on it. The soul expresses it as is, defined as such. The details are a matter of freewill, though freewill is radically different. Freewill means anything can happen, seeing as anything is that which already happened. You dont do research into previous lives if you are infinity lives into a life by now, right? But back to the question, are you reincarnated, or are you someone else inside (maybe u feel you were meant to be) Like that could be a choice you have, if its something you want to have as a choice, but its not like you should worry too much. i mean, Hey, at the point of no return, you can go from seed to anything, like... The carnation flower is simultaneously the soul's incarnatio, i.e., DnA, water, minerals and dirt and such, upon coming into the world to breathe, or let others breathe~As a tree. I think flowers function like little trees in that way, you know what im talking about? Anyway, i was goin for a question/poem/whatever it is. An experimental question poem, which yous can interact w/

Ehrr, you got a few easily identifiable mistakes in this writing here that we should smooth out together. "Stop thinking these thoughts" is easier said than done ~long story, but if you want, we can try workin together on it. Also, *(To avoid)Understanding reality is the assumption that theres a such thing as not understanding it. Like, first off, I dont think of things from the perspective that "Heres reality" and "Heres how i can understand it". Thats a fools errand. A fallacy (a big mistake as well). Heres what you should be doing. You ready? "Be specific". Like, you are not even identifying what you mean, by understanding reality, like... "understand reality" doesnt MEAN anything, you follow me? You have to ask a more specific question, first to yourself. Be specific. Why? Because the broadness you are associating w/ everything currently is precisely why you are locked behind trivial walls that you could otherwise get beyond at this current moment in life. Be specific, because that is how you start to unwind the whole thing (or those things making you see the world in this way). If anything, you should be more steadfast. Why? The whole goal is to not get snagged in the pits of dispair `or these holes that you can find yourself in — which stagger us all. If you werent stuck, you wouldnt have to take this broad spectrum of understanding, and associate it w/ a question (the spectrum of reality is itself a BROAD world/land~it would be impossible to task yourself with understanding it that broadly, for anyone, and it is certainly a process) Ideally you just go on solving the problem, whatever it may be. but like i said, youve phrased things so generally that itll be hard to work w (for us) unless you can be more specific on what you mean. Technically, me writing a message is a form of understanding reality. The other possibility, and i have to guess, is there is something making you FEEL like that is what you are doing, that which is also stuck in the pejorative. Maybe something in your life emphasized this? I dont know. You tell me. Whatever the case may be, just remember, Alls you can do is understand reality. And, framing it correctly is much simpler... You have to take everything you are doing and FLLIIIP IT around. Cause everything you are doing is ALREADY *Understanding reality (CRITically important that you get this! or write it on your wall, as its necessary for hitting lvl1). You dont have experience with Not understanding reality. If such a thing exists, its surely not something youd be familiar w/, though in words better said: it would simply mean you are "ignoring spiritual things" or things like this. Understanding reality *transcends spirituality, for it also counts towards everything. If you dont mean to speak on spirituality or if you mean something else by understanding reality, youd have to teach us: What do you mean (Better yet is to Teach yourself) *p.s. failing to understand the main point is a mistake, But it would only be a beginners mistake because theres Alot more mistakes to make thereafter. I guess theres a chance you dont even understand what im sayin now 🤔 anyway; afterwards its like, "how much priority" are you putting towards this call it "practice of identification/misidentification" and are you truley getting it, as Thats the big one that gets ppl screwed up, like... eh hard to explain. -

I lost all my money jus livin. So dont worry bout it, its happened to even the best of us. -
(see msg above) Also, women are REALLY good w faces~or atleast that is wat i think. And alot of you got it right, right off the bat. Someone in the beginning, said exactly that "Maybe he sent his double so he didnt have to go himself". Ha, Nice job!... Plus, when you look at the two faces straight on (like in that img yous posted on the front page) thats a dead give away tbh. Two totally different "head" shapes, as the impressionist dude has a "flatter" face (I believe hes part asian or something like that) *p.s. facial proportions and head shapes are a weird topic, cause if you change one thing, it effects the entire skeletal frame/head/structure. thats why you got these sevants~ppl like da vinci nd others obsessed w anatomy nd such, cause its so damn fascinating Hey, if anything—itll inspire everyone to investigate sculpting (art) touching on these elements such as anatomy/proportions of the face, as its endless fascinating and illusive and really, really really hard to get right, though some ppl like i said r jus total sevants who can draw a portrait/sketch of someone~much like they took a picture of them, without like tracing it before hand nd stuff. I can draw impressions/interpretations like regular ppl can, nd do alot of erasing in the process, but i cant get things dead on~or even close, on a first try? thatd be insane. Anyway thats probably off topic X D *P.s. Again lol when i do get a portrait right, its like INSANE lvls of luck were on my side in the moment.

i dont know what the impressionists name is, but it turned out it was not jim carrey afterall~And it was this impressionist guy! (Look it up, assuming yous all dont already know bout this, as i certainly didnt... til like, one hour ago; Not to mention its still makin the rounds) Although jim mightve worked w him on it as an elaborate joke, cause you gotta wonder why do all that face work to leave the eyes light colored? I think jim said it looked so good (bad to lots a ppl), that they needed one revealing element. Jim actually has a "double" as well, so he is known for putting doubles in his place (not saying thats who this impressionist guy is, but he was hired/attended, to do Jim, albeit a weird, sortve uncanny valley, cloned/botox'd vers.) Hey, i thought it was a good joke. Wait til the real Jim comes out XD, then everyones gonna be REALLY confused, like, i mean, everyones gonna know it wasnt him soon enough... As it makes the rounds like i said... p.s. my mom said she could tell immediately, but i was wonderin~wat the heck she was on about?! Alas, she was right, granted i didnt even care. But, when it comes to pop culture, you cannot get one over on my mom, thats for sure

For me, this is where rituals and things become important on the way up the stages of development, and why i make a bridge to hermeticism ~ as i often am faced w/ almost a dream-like dilemma, in regards to life, and the answer is often right there, and weirdly, dreams are sometimes better at finding a very hidden answer / conclusion, to alot of these ques., and things (which is more on the mental / spiritual side of things for instance) or like you could call it *the egyptian book of balancing all things, i guess thats the safest description. Poetry and writing is great too, but dreams are more like *mistakes that i throw myself into, not to mention, in dream i am often just flat out LOST. Like, its hard to reconcile being lost, but i am lost like 90% of the time (spiritually and symbolically, while in a dream) -
Ai Use -> I had a great word for it / to help better understand it (Greek word, ill find it later) Ability -> Oh Yeah, i mean it gives us an incredible ability we never had, and the way it does it is really neat (i mightve talked bout it before) David Bowie said it best, that computer / internet / et caetera is an Alien lifeform, and we are like the primitives wandering into the Aliens that now live among us, just in terms of like, how our once grounded spiritual life has been occupied / augmented, or like the immense power it can bring w/ all this instantaneous satisfaction, etc, etc. I mean, the list goes on, but there are downsides to it too, no doubt. But just to linger on what purposes it does serve, what good can come out of it, i think that is more wat u are speaking to here. Its also not being understood FROM a grounded perspective. Like they keep adding to these things, surpassing the base component system in more awkward ways than none at all, like... Higher ups are saying "Add this, add that", and thats not really how design should work, like thats a bad system. of course, thats not Ai or the computers fault, thats us, serving our master, 9-5 corp., just like, misunderstanding everything thats fundamental. p.s. wat you do end up learning about is "the system". Ai will quickly teach you that, "the system is flawed" and that we have to investigate it, otherwise we will have a class / system adding to this like, *making money off of pure sensationizing, and trickery versus those of us trying to establish a way of life that makes sense. Actualized has alot of potential to bridge those two worlds. Everything has potential to be a force for good in the exonerating our tendencies towards the bad side (unproductive), by filling it w/ the good!

Early today i had been watching that guy, The Mahdi Appeared-Guy, and he is getting pretty well known now. Which is even a long story how i found him, though it was sortve tangent to these other things yous had mentioned on here before, like Sufism and such. And it also brought up this interesting question in my mind around "Who gets to be king?" And Of Course, while looking through the list of Greek figures, i found something interesting (to say the least) and very much relevant to that whole idea/notion, and i thought to myself "Oh, this might be interesting to bring up", in regards to the choice/who chooses for someone else to be king (who assigns theirselves king if such an opportunity had to arise). That is, theres something called The Assembly of the Birds (Mantiq al-Tayr) by Farid al-Din Attar (c. 1145–1221 CE), a Persian Sufi poet. Do yous know about this yet??? It is a spiritual, allegorical epic poem, wherein the birds of the world gather in concentration to choose a king (guided by the hoopoe), and it represents the journey ~ through the spirit/soul ~ towards God. At the end of the journey, after crossing seven valleys (stages of spiritual development), the birds find that the Simurgh, the mythical bird they sought, reflects themselves — mirroring the journey of the soul in the search for God / Ultimate truth. The name "Simurgh" itself can be interpreted as "thirty birds" (si-murgh in Persian), symbolizing the unity of the seeker w/ the divine. So the Simurgh, this mythical bird/symbol, represents divine truth; And each bird symbolizes a human flaw or virtue, where as, the journey itself mirrors the stages of spiritual awakening... ~ Which i found interesting cause i know yous have that notion of a "spiritual development / stages" on Actualized dot org. So i thought, thats an interesting sortve parallel going on here, of which i should bring up to yous to see what yous think (Yous might even know about already). It just seems very relatable if anything else. *p.s. i looked up the book, and they have an English translation called The Language of the Birds, however, the original i do not know if it even survives now or wat* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AMantiq_al-Tayr%2C_The_Language_of_the_Birds%2C_Farid_al-Din_Attar.jpg

Hey. i have to. If i didnt i would be in trouble more than i already am. It would no doubt drive anyone nuts... And im approaching 40 years old now, so its like, the level of patiency of mine has been worn quite thin, from the seemingly repetitive state of affairs/situations. Like, im even thinking of writing literally hundreds of notes, and waking up, w/ one idea in mind for her, in order to get both her life + our shared exp., together, on the right track — And that is by writing a note (hundreds of them) that say one/two things, purposefully capitalized, like the following: "MAKE A LIST... ORGANIZE YOUR LIST... MAKE A LIST... ORGANIZE YOUR LIST..."(repeat) .. to get her mind thinkin in the right ways atleast. Granted she does make lists, but its sortve a way to initialize ALL the things i want to say, without saying them explicitly and making things tooo confusing/aggressive-sounding.

Part1 Theres a couple difficult things to juggle, one is like, the act of extending ourselves out towards people, as it is like its own mythology, meaning.. That is, (initially) when you are sortve "perpetuating the meditations and routines of the mind", where you are simultaneously losing touch w/ the whirlwinds of life; Like, of course, you will get better at it (everyone does) - You get stronger in regards to these two things. But at first, you dont quite have the familiarity with how to balance 'em. The other thing is in regards to \*braveness, as well as the Real Path that is in conjunction w/ ~ sortve like how planets or astronomical symbols exist in conjunction w/ one another. The moon is in conjunction w/ the Sun. The Sun is in conjunction w/... Whatever, Mars.. et caetera. Part2 The point is that all these things are in conjunction w/ one another. That is the soul. The soul is all things. The soul also allocates us enough experience/time, per the part of our spirit, ba/ka, to experience it all, though we often see the "heart" as being these things like morality, or some material good, or some component or emotion, or mental thing. However, the Heart is complex in itself. But just using as an analogy/symbol, it simply indicates the physical parts~that is, braveness is almost like a manifestation of "strength"~or vice versa (the strength of the body). So we see the Heart as being a physical part (the spirit *Through the soul, is what is being weighed~in the context of Egyptian myth), though im getting off track w/ this. The point is like, these things are sometimes \*slightly different, and it often comes down to making that very slightly twist, or turn in your understanding, that slight progression to make the necessary connections. And yes, we do need those people who understand such things in regards to mind, spirit and soul and such... THat is always important. Hey, right now, I NEED those people to help me through it all. I need to be guided back to the truth of myself, desperately. No doubt. Im not denying the significance of that. Part3 In fact, the most important part is that whole Ousia-Light sequence, and surely everyone would agree, if not now, eventually. The part i mean to emphasize is in the details, in the margins, the things that are overlooked because its Soooo tiny... Hey, that is why we have computers now. COmputers are helping us see these tiny details, to make these vry intricate connections that we mightve not seen otherwise. p.s. i may have numbered the parts incorrectly, since its more like a spectrum (as far as how i wrote it) but yous get the idea. p.s.s. braveness can also be interpreted as "the braveness of acceptance". im not denying that either. Yous should know by now, almost nothing do i deny, i only point out "details in the art", like... -
Lol. Hey, believe it or not i got my cold water shower today, lol. But yes i see what you mean.

I was thinkin we should start a political -related, sortve recapitulation of some of these perspectives and points of view on Egypt. Granted, im certainly not gonna be saying too much, seeing as im not there personally, alongside the insurgencies, et caetera. So, i thought it might be good to get other points of view (or anyone who feels that they havent had their voices heard there) who might be opposed to the choices of say for example, this character Mahdi (he is who im listenin to atm, but again, if theres someone else i should be listening to, feel free to share). But the bottomline is, i just want to acknowledge that ive acknowledged it, Buut i dont want to say too much, or anything that i might not fully understand. As im sure others who are of Islam~and/or of the actual deep-ties to these sorts of families who actually come from the middle east~they may prefer to want to speak on it, and have their voices heard. Hey theres nothin wrong w/ speaking. I dont think governments care either, like... if they did, it would mean tracking millions of individuals, which is like, how do you do that practically speaking. Dont you need millions of people to intimately navigate millions of people. Hey if you flood the airwaves w/ millions of messages, then its like, the criteria to narrow down "whats what" is that much harder, thats how i think of it, like.. I just follow the words of Thoth, and Thoth tells me what to say, like...
