Golem

Hello guys, long-time lurker here, so I may know some of y’all better than you know me (for now). I’ve been contemplating something for the past six months (especially): the lies we tell—not just to others, but to ourselves as well. The lies I tell myself have become so much subtler over the years that sometimes I catch myself in an arrogant state, thinking I’m being completely truthful with myself… lol. This is incredibly naive on my part because, deep down, I still have this intuition that I’m not being fully honest. I struggle with myself until I uncover some deeply hidden aspect of where I’m not being truthful. It’s usually connected with fear—honestly, for all I know, it’s all fear. I think and intuit that I have extremely deep-rooted fears, but they’re so subtle and deeply ingrained that I can’t fully grasp them. It’s like I’m 99% fearless, but that remaining 1% of fear is so deep and dispersed throughout me that it might take a lifetime to fully uncover. So, I have a couple of questions. Maybe you’d like to share your techniques: How do you introspect on an even deeper level? How do you catch the lies you tell yourself, especially the subtle ones? Why do you lie? Are you afraid? And if so, what are you afraid of? I’m looking to start a discussion with honest members—maybe those who aren’t always active in commenting but would like to share their experiences.

And larping as some kind of political genius while offering absolutely zero useful insights and showing zero ability to predict anything in the field is what, exactly? May I remind you of the necromancy you were trying to perform with your preferable political candidate—until he wasn’t? Give us a break with the snarky comments. What do you mean "back to life"? As in walk and talk as before? Drop this idea if you even had it, it's not happening. May I ask why you want them back to life?

From an absolute perspective—yeah, sure. From my ego's perspective—hell no. And as a limited ego, there's no requirement for me to see beauty and perfection in something that's perfect only from the perspective of the Absolute (because everything is it, and IT’s perfect, duh). This would be an unrealistic expectation, and I sure hope you’re not putting it on yourselves—that would be extremely unwise.
