Joseph Maynor

But notice how he guides someone through an inquiry which he controls as a process. A lot of spiritual teachers do this.

Unless someone else thinks they are God, then you have a problem lol.

Emerson is going to put you through a process where you realize he is right and you are wrong in some way.

I figured it out. This is someone who is using language against someone -- but also using language. This is very common with some spiritual teachers.

I will review this carefully and respond.

What I'm seeing watching the video is two guys talking about spirituality. I have nothing to say about it other than what it is actually.

Okay. Got it. I will watch the video in full and give a response.

Are you talking about Ralph Waldo Emerson?

We're getting at the crux of the issue guys. This is getting deep.

Who is creating the other gods?

Well, if you want to create that, have at it!

It depends on who you think The Creator is, in part.

Not everything is a story. But a lot is lol.

Old man is another one.

I think isms are creations rather properties of The Divine.

This is really tricky issue because -- as you suggest -- sometimes acting like you are confident is the biggest signal of insecurity. This gets into the issue between persona and authenticity. But really even when we are being authentic, we have a degree of persona too.

So Omnipotence makes sense as a pointer.

Social circle is kind of a nebulous concept in practice.

This is also a created narrative.

Just to show how cringe movie critics seem to be. I saw Resident Evil in the theater today and it seems to have received very good reviews. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/resident_evil_2026

You guys should just do a free for all interview and have a real conversation.

I'm looking forward to watching this.

@JoshB I just saw Terminator 2 in the theater a few weeks ago. That is a good movie. Not sure about 3, I've heard mixed reviews on that one.
