The journal subforum has officially reached 100,000 total posts! Great job fellow Actualizers! I am going to celebrate in a formal, respectful and etiquette manner. Let me learn from this fine, gay gentleman He interrupts at 4:00 even though that is wrong

“Leslie Recine, who was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott [Trump lover] to temporarily fill a vacant State Board of Education seat, sits at a Friday meeting in Austin during which the board approved a new state curriculum that critics say overemphasizes Christianity. Recine was the deciding vote in approving the curriculum. Abbott appointed Recine to fill the seat through the end of the year, bypassing Democrat Tiffany Clark, who was elected earlier this month to serve in that role starting next year.” https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/19/texas-sboe-bible-christianity-curriculum/ Let that sink in. The culture wars, begone they have not. This is only the tip of the pitchfork.

I discovered that my eye doctor is a Christian. While that news is somewhat unsurprising, this is an opportunity for me to expose myself to a perspective that I am uncomfortable with. And to not just see him as that. As soon as we label a person as something/anything (e.g. white, Black, gay, illegal, woman, foreigner), we immediately have all these assumptions and fear the worst in these people. I am watching my biases like a space hawk. And not taking things personally when they misgender me or don’t treat me the way I expect them to, because I understand that my life experiences likely don’t compute with theirs. That doesn’t mean that they’re intentionally trying to hurt me. In fact, my need for others to treat me “perfectly” or “just right” is what I find troubling - as I assume that there’s only one right perspective - mine. I really don’t want to push my own agenda onto others if it makes them feel separated from me. It’s not my job to step over their boundaries. I have my own circle of people who understand me in my weird, alien ways anyway. And my eye doctor doesn’t need to know whether or not I have a penis, female breasts, or a a monkey tail. Boundaries…. Yeah, there are times to set them, but I want to ensure that I’m not setting them in a dictoral manner. Going back to my earlier example, I would find that correcting people about what gender they should call me (e.g. say “they” instead of “he”) is just silly games. I ultimately don’t want to see a damn difference between a he, she, they, it, Black, Asian, Alien, lizard, etc.. These are just human constructions and labels, after all, and they are not permanent representations of ourselves. The difference between Jesus and Buddha is an ego thing that we get so hung up on. Nail intended.

Yes, doing something novel and out of your comfort zone is breeding ground for new learning.

Perhaps being untruthful consciously is the solution. Being honest with yourself that you’re not selfless and have survival needs, and that’s perfectly fine. After all, isn’t judging yourself for not being truthful coming from a place of ignorance ad well?

What does This mean?

I find that I’m able to connect a shape to an unexpected hole. Even if I am a triangle, I find a way to squeeze into a circle perfectly.

Let’s explore being afraid. Like going on an adventure. Are you up for the challenge? What does being afraid look like?

All the sacrifices humans have made, only to fall back into the same old trap in the end:

@trenton I recommend making a new thread about what you just wrote. Beautifully written and deserves its own spotlight.

Can you love satan? Embodying what you hate, for some reason ain’t no spiritual or religious practitioner got time for that. Human beings are constantly deluding themselves to be a particular way. My point being: notice when you believe that reality has to be one way for it to be true and not any other ways.

Sounds like a legitimate trip to me. Don’t sell yourself short; I think it belongs in the psychedelics sub forum. God bless psychedelics!

You’re starting to sound like the very thing that you hate.

Me too. He was super kind and friendly. Everyone here is a snack. We stared at a man’s ass for 10 seconds straight. His red pants were so HOT
