Hey hey! If I just change one person's mind my life is worth living.

You'll be surprised what you find. There is an unlimited number of possibilities in the randomness that shuffling cards creates. I highly recommend this book

The Way of Tarot: The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/1594772630/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PjMKDbYEZDMP9

And

A Dictionary of Symbols (Dover Occult) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486425231/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AkMKDbDKKQRMF

This book.

Huxley was deeply entrenched in esotericism through family and philosophy. Orwell, and his work, were a result of Huxley.

Their relationship is very much akin to the Aristotle vs Plato debate. Neither is smarter or stupider, they are both products of their time and influence. Take what you will from them, but receive both.

If you haven't considered it yet, deaf people, who use sign language, gesture, and rely primarily on visual communication, are an ethno-culture that embody thinking with vision.

It’ll help.

The universe is playful. Treat life like a game.

hey man, you're awesome. Jesus is legit. God is perfect, truly perfect, and so every objection or moral quandary that a human can raise against him will definitely have an extremely elegant and intelligent solution, no matter what the issue. I know that I myself have had many of my own questions and objections addressed in the course of my own better understanding, and I have nothing but good things to say about the true God, the father of Jesus Christ. He is fair, he is brilliant, he knows exactly what he is doing every single time. Trust him and he will equip you and show you what's up. You do not have to be confused or live in darkness, nobody does, just wait for him to hook it up, and when it's time, he'll do it. Seriously, just take this encouragement, dude, I have no reason to bullshit you or anyone. God is God, trust him. Here's some handy things, you are totally welcome to ask me questions if you think it will be useful to you. Cheers man

Adding on to the suggestions, here's (part) of my reading list (in no particular order):

Man and His Symbols - Carl Jung
The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell - Aldous Huxley
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
1984 - George Orwell
Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
Beyond Good and Evil - Friedrich Nietzsche
Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor E. Frankl The Painted Bird - Jerzy Kosinski
Behold a Pale Horse - Milton William Cooper
Tao te Ching - Lao Tzu
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins

You are describing what is called in the behavioral sciences as a "habit loop." It consist of a cue, a routine and a reward. (I highly recommend reading The Power of Habit if you want to see what goes into advertising and product development)

Basically, the success of online dating skyrocketed as soon as they developed mobile platforms (apps) which made is possible for people to be tapped in constantly.

Cue: tinder alert. Routine: check tinder, browse for a bit, send some messages. Reward: getting a message in return.

It was famously said "there are as many psychiatrists working on apps as there are programmers." These things are designed to be addictive, so don't feel upset or distraught.

Best advice is to unplug and delete the thing; or at the very least, turn off notifications and try to he disciplined about how often you check it and for how long.

I'm genuinely surprised the focus is always on bitcoin. there are so many other crypto currencies. i always thought the strength of this technologies is the ability to split (it's easy for every country/community to create its own currency.), low to no initial investment cost (the tech is out there... you just have to agree, as a community, to use it... as it is with any social construct.), and the absence of a centralized point of control. (as soon as you do not like the current path you can split.)

the estcoin spectacle was pretty interesting.

Darwin is perhaps one of the most misunderstood figures in history. He wrote only twice about "survival of the fittest", mentioning love 95 times, sensitivity 92 times, and talking about the mind and brain 200 times. He thought selfishness was a base principle and that cooperation was key to survival.

> It discredits real patriots and militias who actually care about freedom and further the war on domestic terrorism

Even if they were real patriots acting patriotically, that's exactly the line that the controlled media would use to instantly turn you off. Same thing happened with the other BLM protests.

> This despite the fact that a grand jury decided not to prosecute him. There are reasonable arguments to be made about biases within the grand-jury system, but jurors have decided there is not enough evidence to prosecute Mr Wilson. Throwing out the rule of law over frustration with a particular decision is a dangerous way to win reform.

“However critical the situation and circumstances in which you find yourself, despair of nothing; it is on the occasions in which everything is to be feared that it is necessary to fear nothing; it is when one is surrounded by all the dangers that it is not necessary to dread any; it is when one is without resources that it is necessary to count on all of them; it is when one is surprised that it is necessary to surprise the enemy himself.” Sun Tzu, The Art of War. 1

Here's a recent anecdote that may be worth adding to your accounts: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/15/magazine/childhood-cancer-treatment.html?_r=0 A stem cell transplant was involved, but the family and doctors had given up; the theory is that he got sick and the infection pushed his immune system to kick everything's ass:

> The medical team grasped for a scientific explanation. Because Andrew had received no treatment over the summer, the answer had to lie in the bone-marrow transplant of Wills’s cells. Their main theory was that the infection that nearly killed Andrew in July had triggered a huge increase in his new white blood cells — and that heightened immune response had attacked not only the infection but the cancer cells as well.

So Memetic Magic by Kirk R Packwood is now going for $1200 bucks on Amazon, where it used to be like $40 less than a year or so ago. Definitely something to this. Good thing there is a pdf! The formatting sucks, haven't read it yet.

I came across this recently: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262628646_The_anti-pedophilia_crusade_and_the_criminalization_of_sexual_fantasies

And now I understand what it's all about, it's about allowing the normalization of the sickest and most disgusting practices which will lead to the fall of society, they achieve this by making it a political movement and focus on those who fight against it as moral crusaders and as secretly being a pedophile in this case for example themselves, nothing could be further from the truth.

I think it is time for the masses to wake up, there is no more slippery slope, we are already living in a society where pedophilia and rape is rampant across the elite, more so than people think, it's that they are not willing to accept this because it seems so gruesome and far away, but if we allow this normalization push to continue, well.....

I would not endorse it but I think the entire population seeing actual pictures of the snuff/pedophilia going on with the recognizable faces of their politicians on these photos is the only thing I think that will wake them up at this point, there is nothing but the brutal truth that will suffice as of now because it has gotten so cruel and brutal that people do not even have the imagination to understand the true brutality of these practices unless they are faced with them.

> what you call this claptrap is what really matters. Not its factual veracity.

Care to explain this, PF?

Other readers please note user's name... "Factoid".

Thnx, Love. You write as a bright star in a dark firmament (aka "matrix").

Matrix is a metaphor; a prison for the mind. r/c_s_t is an escape route, and I'm thankful it is available (for now). I wish more people here would respect the intentions of the enlightened mods who created the sub. Finding red pills is a calling to which I feel attracted, but I get the message from seeing how readers vote that most of these people are immersed in the matrix and are not looking for red pills.

Could you expand on this?

I've seen how some of the central bankers are positioning to use private blockchains as a basis for their own centralized digital currency—and Corbett just put out an excellent piece on this and the distinction between blockchain and BTC—but I'm honestly not too worried about that, at least not at this point. Well, I am, but maybe for different reasons.

The primacy of US dollars in America is that they're the only thing the US government will accept as tax payment. So if theoretically I made $50,000 worth of BTC in one year through whatever means as my sole income, I would still owe the IRS the taxes on the dollar value of that money, and I'd have to convert it into USD to pay it. If the fed started issuing blockchain backed federal reserve coins, it would have all the same issues as the current notes, with the addition of a full transaction history at their fingertips and the ability for them to deny access to "my" money. So yes, I do see this being potentially very bad.

And I do feel this topic and that of net neutrality/control of the internet are very interrelated, but it seems to me that a free and open internet is even more important than currency. If we don't have the ability to freely communicate, BTC and other cryptos are useless. We can't even talk to each other about why it's an issue. But as long as we have free and open internet, we can innovate any form of economic exchange over top of it.

You'll start noticing many hidden-in-plain-site references to Kali Yuga, Sirius (dog star, dark star, etc.), and the Yuga cycles in general in popular culture. I'm thinking about CERN right now.

hey man.

I can see by evaluating your posts where your head is and what your issues of contention are. I have no judgment or condemnation to speak to you, but I encourage you this: please continue learning; please be careful not to obfuscate any revelation of the truth by a presumptive hastiness to consider the truth to already be understood; please make sure to do what is right to aptly honor the experience Jesus granted to you.

my testimony is this: Jesus is one with his Father, who is one and the same as the God of the Israelites. Jesus himself can be seen to testify to this truth, and the words he is depicted speaking in the New Testament Gospels are reliable and trustworthy. If you seek after who God truly is, you will know in yourself, and you will not need my testimony to tell you.

understand that the fruit borne by God is no bad fruit by any means: you are looking at the immature leaf and the weeds; God the Father is the vinedresser; it is not yet the time of the harvest. Please do not deceive yourself: it is God alone who dictates that every man die, be it of old age, disease, or warfare. It is God alone who allocates the span of a man's days, whether it ends by plague, by flood, by Israelite conquest, or by anything else. Please do not allow your human sensibilities to inform your perception of the unknowable God. Instead, humble yourself where applicable, and understand.

if you consider yourself receptive to intellect and to reason, please consider looking over these arguments I've prepared for questions and issues I commonly see raised against God and Christ. It is my hope that these will be useful to you in your understanding.

cheers dude.

> I have just been really down over the last week and feeling pretty disenfranchised over everything going on.

No it's totally cool, I often feel the same way. I just want to remind you and others that hope is not lost. Although things are tough, we must pay keen attention to where the battle lines actually are, because although there are a lot of losses happening, there are actually some good wins happening too. It's just going to take some serious time to work itself out.

Just remember that the worse things get, the more people begin to wake up and look for answers. So in this sense, it is self-correcting, and history also shows this to be true. Things can only get so bad, people can only take so much for so long. I have trust in this, even if I don't have faith in much else.

Thanks for your kind words, they are much appreciated. If you like my contributions you should check out https://saidit.net if you haven't already

I was aggravated because none of my local pharmacies had any, but ExpresScripts did. My PCP was more than happy to prescribe it, but ExpresScripts won't accept private payment, only insurance. But I DID stock up on quercetin, which I was already taking, as well as Cinchona Bark Officinalis 1/2... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MZAV69M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. I've been eyeballing ivermectin at the local feed and ranch store....

Another good book I read on the topic was called "Born to Win: Transactional Experiments with Gestalt Analysis" which I'm just looking at on Amazon now and seems to have pretty good reviews. I liked it because "Games People Play" doesn't really offer you any solutions, it just describes the problem. Of course you can just resolve to not play games any more, but the story is more involved with that.

Born to Win gives you a whole load of exercises to do as well to cleanse your mental hygiene. Important for me was that my parent ego states were highly problematic due to, in my case, inattentive parents. It teaches you how to create new internal parents from your adults state that don't say destructive things to you as the natural ones have a tendency to.

After that, my recommendation is to look into a hypnotist called Marisa Peer. My partner bought her hypnosis course, and I've been tagging along, and I tell you what, just listening to those recordings for the past 4 weeks or whatever has utterly changed some parts of me. As someone who has been trying to hack their brain for over two decades via any and all means, I really really feel the fool to have overlooked the power of hypnosis as a means of rapid mental transformation. I'm definitely continuing with that!

But yeah, get that book :)

Making a judgement on something before reading it is the height of ignorance my friend. Why don't you read it before judging it. Take a look at the Amazon reviews. Almost 5 stars:

https://www.amazon.com/Urantia-Book-Revealing-Mysteries-Ourselves/dp/0911560513#customerReviews

Also, from https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Nomisma

Nomisma (Greek: νόμισμα) was the ancient Greek word for "money" and is derived from nomos (νόμος) "anything assigned, a usage, custom, law, ordinance".

"....but money has become by convention a sort of representative of demand; and this is why it has the name 'money' (nomisma)-because it exists not by nature but by law (nomos) and it is in our power to change it and make it useless." Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics

In modern Greek, the word nomisma means "currency", It is also a term used by numismatists when referring to the pieces of money or coin in the plural nomismata an example of which is the Aes rude of Numa Pompilius (the 2nd King of Rome).

The term Jesus would probably have used for money was mammones or mammon, meaning riches, or the treasure a person trusts in. http://biblehub.com/greek/3126.htm

It's natural to be fascinated by things, and seeing patterns is a favourite human pastime activity. If it's only for your enjoyment, I don't think I would call you crazy. That's why I only suggest you seek help if you start obsessing and it negatively affects your life in any way.

I also recommend reading Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahbeman, or if you prefer fiction books I wholeheartedly recommend hpmor.com which is both entertaining and informative.

The technology hasn't been created yet. I just read "Zero to One", great read. It says this here: "if China doubles its energy production over the next two decades, it will also double its air pollution. If every one of India’s hundreds of millions of households were to live the way Americans already do—using only today’s tools—the result would be environmentally catastrophic. Spreading old ways to create wealth around the world will result in devastation, not riches. In a world of scarce resources, globalization without new technology is unsustainable."

Supposedly technology has to save humanity or NEW technology that's not yet on the books. Maybe some of that tech has already been suppressed in the past. I think the key is "human technology", an evolution of the human species to become a better technology of himself? How you create that, I don't know.

This is true but what I believe to be a trick of the human mind is that we can change our realities irrespective to the physical world. If there is a mountain in front of you and if you tell yourself there is not a mountain and you truly believe to yourself the mountain is not there, regardless of its existence or what anyone tells you that mountain does not exist, so reality to you is one without a mountain.

Similarly if a person is presented with a difficult situation or a bad circumstance, I think it can be said that if they can really believe in something that fulfills them or makes them happy, then they have overcome the factor of the environment. An ascetic could live in mud and be poorer than the poorest begger, but if they are content then they have 'overcome the environment'. With this understanding, since the reaction towards the problem can be controlled, is the environment really a factor? Or is it just our preconceived judgment towards it that causes problems?

edit: if anyone's interested in further reading I suggest St. Aquinas, Martin Luther, Nicomachean Ethics (aristotle), and the Vedic Puranas.

I'm not sure if this is:

A) Another reason to r/esist Trump because we are primed for dictatorial takeover (so sayeth The Republic by Plato)

or

B) The people steering our policital agenda are further encouraging a split between the people who think and the people who don't.

Do you believe those in charge are separating the wheat from the chaff, or do you believe they are evil?

I optimistically lean toward option B.

I have never tried to taste the difference. I still might not since most bet sugar in the US is GMoh (and thus sprayed with glyphosate), while cane sugar is not GMoh. But now I'm curious.

A few days ago I was bored and as any CST member would, I decided to read some wikileaks files. Since i'm from Brazil I decided to look for info about my country in Clinton's emails. I found an email chain where one of her guys described a meeting with Brazilian blogger and political journalist Marcelo Tas, where he describes how the State Department sent tome stuff about Syria to the blogger, who then translated it to Portuguese and published it under his authorship.

> Embassy Brasilia set up a coffee for me and Marcelo Tas during my brief trip to Brazil in April. Very positive visit. This morning, I pushed out some Syria-related content on Twitter. Tas picked up on it, built in a Portuguese translation, and then disseminated to his nearly 2 million followers on Twitter. That then ricocheted around Brazilian social media circles where it was further amplified so that literally millions and millions of people in Brazil (perhaps 10M+) have read the content we pushed out. More importantly, they don't think of it as something the USG is pushing out, but rather Marcelo Tas. In translating and disseminating the content himself, he became its publisher and validator.

I bet you there are many more examples of this and I plan on spending the whole weekend looking into this and sending it to as many newspapers as I can. Fuck these imperialists trying to buy my people.

I practice sungazing in the morning when the sun isn't too intense. I never experience daytime fatigue or insomnia anymore. Combined with f.lux on my phone and computer, my circadian rhythm is on point these days. My melatonin production is better than ever. I have some links bookmarked somewhere that I need to post at some point.

Another thing that spurred my comment was that story about Australian police raiding the alleged founder's home.

Here's a story from 2011 where Julian Assange displays complex technical knowledge of bitcoin. https://wikileaks.org/Transcript-Meeting-Assange-Schmidt.html

Also check out the Genesis block - they quoted a newspaper headline related to banking, but more importantly, they can't be spent.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block

if Assange had created bitcoin I can understand why he would be hesitant to draw government attention by linking to his other controversial projects.

There's an even bigger (even more all!) library at

https://librivox.org/

searchable by title, author, subject/genre, and (!) language

Or, presented a bit differently, at:

https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio&tab=collection

However, the Librivox catalog, while truly incredible (over 10,000 titles!), is a bit broad -- the Youtube channel appears to curate the titles down to more interesting (IMO), esoteric titles. And I'm still not finding a way to batch-download the whole library for offline archival.

> But I agree with you ab-soul-utely!

Heh. :) Dig it.

> Is your opinion that there is no objectively shared reality that we filter through our own perception, but rather we are all in sort of a world of our own?

if you think about it, it's a lot like looking out at the horizon, from whatever vantage you can achieve...each of us has our aspect, our perspective to see from...but the majority of our world is imagined, simply accepted. When you get this from your own aspect, then project it out onto everyone else you meet, it's huge...then what about all those you will never actually verify the existence of? This is a tricky thing to speak of...but how do you ever actually prove they even exist outside of your own general ideas of what the world 'looks' like...?

Not one of you has ever even touched me, nor I you-- to the best of my knowledge, anyway. How real am I, at this point? If you had to prove I am not actually just a part of you, how would you go about it? o_O

Questions like this are how 'simulation theory' takes hold, so lemme say I don't see it like that-- what is simulated is your understanding of reality, every one of us having our own simulation. Again, hard to say this. Especially with the BOSS music blaring right now from friends across ponds. :)

Well...what I saw instantly is that you can write his entire name out using only that symbol. Try it.

Not to say you are wrong, or that I'd even know such a detail as well as you probably do, just that I saw that instantly, have a mind trained to do that with symbols since a particular album cover (ON ACID) about 20 years back. You can trace the band's name in the shapes while going in a circle for a very long time before getting it all.

Edit to be clearer: if you took all the letters in his name, as capitals, and piled them one atop the other, you'd have a sketchy version of that image.

Dude, Here is an interesting and non filtered (through cia) eyewitness account of the raid for bin laden. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=bin+laden+raid+interveiw+of+his+neighbors&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002

I appreciate the kind words! I pretty much exhausted duckduckgo with everything it could find relating to Solfeggio Frequencies, and it seems there isn't very much info on them available (besides from what I've already found).

BUT I did come across this site which claims it is a "Solfeggio Tone Healing Generator"

FreeCiv (open source Civilizations) would seem to be a great starting point. Funny I don't see any modpacks that even hint at this.

I'm going to defer on this for now, k? I'll write something as example to see what others might write, tell you about myself some. But not right now. Right now, I am dancing to this. Just submitted my track for Touched 3, just under the deadline, and it was approved. A GREAT MORNING TO DANCE, I say.

But I will come back to it in some detail. And yes, what WILL the next 10 years hold? o_O Who were you at 10? How about 20? How do they even compare?

It's not an important distinction to make. If anything, it's actively harmful.

The last thing I want is to actively harm people.

There is a growing number of sites that use webtorrent, bittorrent implemented iirc in javascript in the browser via nodejs and webrtc. There are already services using it

https://webtorrent.io/faq

Somoene needs to use the voat code and make it work via webtorrent and put posts on the blockchain with the option of having subs go decentralized via namecoin

and it's all over for reddit and clones

hey man. I respect you and your journey a lot. I had some contact with you a while back under a different name, and the reason I made contact with you is because I respect you and your journey. I recognize pieces of myself in your things to an extent, in as much as another person can, I think, and I also recognize a receptivity to Christ in them, no matter where you were then or where you may be presently.

I think you understand what I would say to you: my positions are not in fringe or eclectic Christian belief, but in real trust in the revealed Jesus and in the adequacy of the Scriptures that describe him. I understand that you have your own value system and your own priorities, and I understand that according to those things meaningful to you, there is much utility to be found in what you are doing, but I hope you will hear me when I testify that a straightforward trust in the Jesus of Scripture is not at all a limiting or a desensitizing endeavor: rather, it is a means engineered by God by which we may attain to true life, a true illumination of which that taught by channeled beings and the mystery traditions of men is a mere facsimile. I hope you will hear me: it is precisely because of my recognition of your path and your person that I would tell you what I am telling you!

I know that you are a logical and an inquisitive person, so perhaps you will have some use for these. I've haphazardly attempted to categorize a few of my own approaches according to the positions and the arguments they address, mostly just for my own sake. I don't know where you're at in particular at any given time, but maybe if the subjects themselves pertain to you, you will appreciate them.

if you are wondering: I have high confidence your things will be worked out, and that is part of what encourages me to speak to you this way.

thanks for reading, and thanks for getting in touch.

Haha yeah it happens. I've found a good way to plug saidit is to find places where people are already discussing alternatives and just drop a link to https://saidit.net

Or just promote this list of all reddit alternatives and then maybe mention lightly that saidit is your favorite. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/8585ox/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives/

Anyway, those are the best ways I've found so far. Thanks again for trying.

If you want there's a list of a lot of them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/8585ox/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives/

Saidit is made from the open source reddit code from 2015 (when they stopped being open-source) and we've (me and /u/d3rr) spent 6 months fixing it up and updating it to our liking. We added IRC chat and a bunch of other stuff. You should just check it out at https://saidit.net if you're curious. We get some discussions, but the site is just getting started and has grown a LOT in the last month.

Since we're recommending comic books. I'll throw in my hat for Cerebus the Aardvark, by Dave Sims. Just massive amounts of material available but I never hear anybody else talk about it. Lots available from Amazon and other booksellers https://www.amazon.com/Cerebus-1-Dave-Sim/dp/0919359086, but probably you want to start out by reading the wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebus_the_Aardvark.

If Cerebus the Aardvark was a real being, I'm sure he would post on C_S_T.

I got it on Amazon for the Kindle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007V2SG7O/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I’d highly recommend the book ‘Bechamp or Pasteur: a Lost Chapter in the History of Biology’

It documents the massive scientific and medical fraud.

Read "Man's Search for Meaning" from Viktor Frankl, it helped me when my ex-wife left me and i was deeply depressed for about 6 months. It helped me change my perspective of life to a very deep level.

The invisible hand pushes society forwards by focusing on the self - The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith.

An excerpt if anyone wants the read:

>As every individual, therefore, endeavours as much as he can both to employ his capital in the support of domestic industry, and so to direct that industry that its produce may be of the greatest value; every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.

Not to belittle your effort, but also, you could read The 4-Hour Workweek. Ignore the gimmicky title, it's a godsend for changing the game. The author's blog is fantastic too -- http://fourhourworkweek.com/blog/

I didn't know that actually. I just re-read The Art of War the other day so this is a bit of strange synchronicity, the translation I have did mention that the original English translation came from a single source and was very poor and that he was hoping his would be a considerable improvement.

You will not be disappointed. If you can get your hands on one of these it has proved invaluable. My copy is a first edition which is epic but later editions have more info.

And listen to several of these podcasts to get you in the mindset. http://www.frankdelaney.com/

Delaney is reading the entire book over ~20 years giving every reference he can. And he helped me understand the Joyce flow. Get back to me in 6 months when you get to the Oxen of the Sun.

After reading this book I had the thought that language is god. Perhaps you've heard the idea that "words build worlds" or have read any of the discussions on this sub about the power of words?

Think about the unifying, connective power of words. Words have the ability to last generations. They can give life or take it away. Sometime I think that we're missing important words or concepts in human language. And I think even that idea is essentially saying that words build worlds.

I agree that powerful, universal concepts are essentially our gods and that we lock up a lot of their power by re-investing them into monotheistic religions that chew them up and spit out rules and guidelines for us to follow.

I love everything about this post, and have to say that it seriously resonated with me!

Just curious...have you ever used any mobile Tarot, Astrology, or Natal Astrology Charting apps?

I've been dabbling with the Astromatrix Birth Chart Synastry Horoscope app for Android, and have been pretty consistently blown away by the accuracy of the different analyses/readings that are created from utilizing both Astrology and Tarot together.

I was curious as to what your take is on using such apps?

Science is often presented as a rigorous process of deliberation, yet many breakthrough discoveries have emerged serendipitously.

Inventor and researcher, Dr. John C Lilly, once mused, "there are no discoveries, there are only revelations; that was a come down for me as a scientist."

Descartes was visited by an angel.

Kekulé had visions of the Ouroboros that lead to the Benzene ring structure.

The nature of DNA and PCR were partially inspired by LSD experiences.

Tesla had 'paranormal' experiences.

Many others (Giordano Bruno, etc.) were considered crazy heretics.

tl;dr; the architectonics of reality is not cut and dry - we live in a tremendously ineffable mystery that has a terrible beauty of heart and soul.

> If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that there is an infinite reflecting process occurring.

Like this?

From the reviews these will definitely increase your iodine levels, though you do have to be somewhat careful. I usually take 1-2 drops most days of the week. But it’s very important that you take selenium with it (eat one or two Brazil nuts a day) and vitamin c plays a role too.

Also very handy in case of nuclear war as your thyroid is what soaks up most of the radiation and is one of the highest reasons of mortality. Taking a shit ton of iodine will basically take up all the space in there so radiation won’t be absorbed.

It’s hard to find how much iodine you should be taking, but the Japanese eat way more then the recommended daily amount and are just fine (rda are bullshit in most cases).

There’s this book (I haven’t read but heard good things) if you want to learn more about iodine.

Yeah... I hope we don't turn this into a marxist-socialist thinking ground on how to best manage the tax cattle.

The fact is that we made an evolutionary choice a long time ago to have short digestive tracts. We don't have 4 stomachs like a cow and huge digestive systems geared for taking in large amounts of food.

The most clear explanation of this was in a book called "Last Ape Standing".

Can't be defined? Plenty of terms cannot easily be defined, religion, liberty, politics, and freedom can you define them in a universal way that goes beyond cultural bias?

Britannica has a pretty good definition. This can be the baseline if you wish.

http://www.britannica.com/topic/qi-Chinese-philosophy

Simply put qi is energy. A force that exists in all things that can be manipulated. In being aware of qi the mind can overcome the rigidity of matter.

Do you practice any marital art? Wrestling arm or otherwise? That is how I really experienced. In the primal mindset of the hunt.

> fasting and purging the soul of gluttony

We need a hefty dose of this all year long.

> willingly sacrificed himself

Good point. See another comment here, by u/DirewolfGhost on this same issue.

sacrifice
Referring to sense 1, there are at least two motivations... a free choice offering, possibly in expectation of some later reward; or a reciprocal payment for some blessing, to express gratitude and thankfulness. In the case of sacrificing oneself, who is the giver, and who the receiver? Only answer is both, the self. Therefore, selfishness results from selflessness? Or visa versa? This looks like a paradox. (Two docs.)

If the self-sacrifice had no intended corresponding future result, it seems a sorry waste. (edit: unless you go to sense 3) Why destroy something precious, for nothing, unless some inner change (soul?) is expected? (My view of soul is, it's a mythical concept.) It would be much smarter to simply seek the internal change, and forget the physical destruction. And if you expand this concept to a belief in government/authority, then physical revolution is not necessary, if enough people realize the internal change. Destroy the belief to free the "soul."

> I would be for creating the first crypto-fueled community.

Not exactly what you are talking about, but I linked:

https://steemit.com/

>How does Steemit work? Steemit is a social media platform that works by having the crowd reward the crowd for their content. It does this thanks to the Steem blockchain and cryptocurrency; Steem is 'minted' daily and distributed to content producers according to the votes they get.

>How does Steemit differ from other social media websites? Most social media sites extract value from their userbase for the benefit of shareholders alone. Steemit is different, it's a new kind of attention economy. By connecting with the Steem blockchain (which is decentralized and controlled by the crowd), Steemit users receive all the benefits and rewards for their attention.

And there is other examples.

In terms of profit, staying afloat is important, profiting handsomely would be nice, but honestly not my big concern. I have a lot more to say on that, but I gotta go for now.

Race-thinking and class-thinking have been the two most dominant ideologies of the masses since the 1800s.

Arendt shows how race-thinking became the bridge for uniting the lower classes and the class-thinking group with imperialist capitalist businessmen.

This is part of the reason why Karl Marx admitted he was more in favor of imperialist capitalism than he was to Feudalism, as it broke down barriers, at least in some sense, between the upper and lower classes. From the "Lenin on Imperialism" slideshow made by California State University Professor Craig Collins:

>Marx Thought Imperialism had a Positive Role to Play in History • He thought imperialist capitalism in the colonial world was superior to indigenous feudalism & despotism because it: – Toppled feudal political systems; – Rapidly developed the forces of production; – Created an industrial working class; – Brought colonial society closer to socialist revolution.

heres one on lyme disease

I cant remember the bame of the book but poliomyletis has been around for thousands of years. One causation ks linked to ddt among other things. I can't remember the name of the book and having trouble finding it ill keep searching it though.

That was an incredibly simple minded expanation of terrain theory like i said the theory is laid out in a book bigger than most dictionaries so reducing it to paragraph to get understanding of it is not a good representation. And my understanding is a bit different. But ill be honest I'm not in a position to do anything with more information on it atm so im not going to research it more.

My personal beliefs on the topic is both are wrong as full fledged theories and the answer lies beyond our current understanding of how are bodies and mind work together in unison.

And vaccines are certainly effective but imo they are not endgame treatments and shouldn't be treated as so, we also don't know if vaccines can harm are immune systems in ways we don't fully understand making the weaker against other foreign threats. This comment is fully backed by research too i dont have tome to grab studies but one done in 2015 by the u.s. military on flu vax making you more susceptible to coronaviruses is the most damning imo. But i have to go man i hope you take the time and can find some good info on competing theories because it is out there. Everyday it just gets a bit harder to find.

Let's start thinking about this: What would our Library of AleCSTandria look like?

Just spit-ballin ideas..:

• Scope: What media would it encompass? Books? Websites? Audio? Video? Programs/apps? Or should it "just" encompass our knowledge, whatever media (from text posts to videos) that we CSTers come up with? (For a tangent: I really like the idea of taking our best of the best and making them into finished videos, audios, a book, and/or podcasts.)

• Technical: Would it just be a catalog of web resources? Or a huge multi-gigabyte repository of stuff to download? (I think it has to be downloadable, lest Alexandria burn once more, if book by book.) Would it use a local client of some sort and/or be sync-able with the server? Mobile app? Maybe just a directory structure, distributed by torrent?

• Administrative: Should there be some sort of governance of what gets added to the library? Curators? Voting? Representatives?

• Perhaps most important: Has somebody already done this to our satisfaction? No point in reinventing the wheel, so to speak. I know Mark Passio has/had his 500GB hard drive image, though I haven't seen it. https://librivox.org/ has an amazing online library of audiobooks, but I see no way to batch download everything. Others?

Personally, I don't have to pretend that it isn't real. I literally don't know anyone that has died or even been severely sick since Covid started. Well, at least I didn't until the vaccines became available.

See, this is the problem. Many of us have seen little to no proof of Covid in our daily lives these past couple years. Everything I have seen, everything I have learned tells me that Covid is nothing to worry about.

Then, there are people like you, whose experience is supposedly the complete opposite of our own. You claim to see people dropping left and right.

How can it be that half of the population is unaffected, while the other half is decimated? All of your sick and elderly die, but all of mine are alive and well?? It just doesn't make sense to me.

If we look at the facts, the CDC, the FDA, WHO, they've all lied continuously since Covid started. We know the death tolls are greatly exaggerated. It's been proven again and again. The CDC even stated, when this all started, that the virus has little to no effect on 99.3% of the population. The facts tell us that this virus is not as dangerous as it's been made out to be.

You talk about following money. Let's do that.. the people telling you how safe and effective and necessary the vaccine is, are the same people that are profiting from the vaccine. Here's a great video about it.

Yes, i think this sums much of it up. I think that in the near future many will become totally dependent on the state. Health passports will form the basis for a comprehensive identity system that will be expanded to include all info, credit rating, banking etc. and to make govt payments to. Eventually we'll be digitally fenced in.

There are superior alternatives to their centralised, stake holder model though. e.g. secure, trustless, distributed, decentralised networks that are censorship resistant, directed by community consensus and utilise smart contracts to incentivise good behaviour. Bitcoin was the first iteration but now we have numerous advances. There are solutions for most aspects of finance, identity, voting, cloud storage, content hosting and VPNs among others. Well worth getting to grips with if anyone is unfamiliar. The possibilities are enormous. https://lbry.com/faq/what-is-lbry Adoption however is another matter!

Hi friend. I want to share with you this quote and ask that you let the idea marinate when you are thinking about the idea of white people are being 'dehumanized', with a focus on seeing the scope of dehumanization tactics that have been used throughout American history (the truth of japanese internment camps, operation northwood, actual racist/sexist advertistments from the 20s).

No matter who you are talking to, the number of topics we are ignorant of is WAY MORE NUMEROUS than that of which we are knowledgeable. Ignorance can only be combated with understanding, patience, and kindness.

> Don't waste your time and energy on pointless discourse with people who are convinced they speak the truth, yet don't wish to hear the other side's story.

Imagine this from the other perspective. It seems to me as though you may be convinced you are speaking truth and don't wish to hear the other side.

Take care.

I make connections that are there. If you look it up the phoenicians were a heterogenous group of people. They were the canaanites.

http://www.ancient.eu/phoenicia/

>In its time Phoenicia was known as Canaan and is the land referenced in the Hebrew Scriptures to which Moses led the Israelites from Egypt and which Joshua then conquered (according to the biblical books of Exodus and Joshua but uncorroborated by other ancient texts and unsupported by the physical evidence thus far excavated). According to the historian Richard Miles, the people of the land recognized "a shared ethnic identity as Can'nai, inhabitants of the land of Canaan

chronos is based off phoenician saturn worship. deal with it buddy.

Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

[...] the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

It's just an approximation of a curve, only a good approximation for small distances. You'll notice the x^(2) equation always overestimates how much curvature there is.

I have been saying for far longer than anyone here could possibly see it: We are in a War On Beliefs themselves now.

But spiritual warriors are and always have been around. Most every man I know now is one, as well as most of the women. Good company to keep, lemmetellya.

Now, if only we had better language, that didn't rely on battles, war, fighting.... I don't like supporting war in any form, honestly. Acting like it's 'natural' is just stupid. It's entirely unnatural.

As for 'intelligence'...way too big a subject for me now. Think what you think, but don't get too attached to it, maybe? :/ In that link, is there any other way to use the word that you never saw before in this context? Language is a funny thing. Central...intelligence...hmmm.

not a native speaker :) my brain saved 'force' as 'Gewalt', which i would define as something like "violent force used to inflict harm".

but with the context you have given, i would totally agree; i used the wrong word to describe what i wanted to say. luckily, people can see past the words used.
..and in a philosophical sense, every word spoken has a different connotation depending on the context. nobody has exactly the same definition. but communication still somehow works ;D (e.g. everyone imagines a different tree, if you say "tree".)

Obama must be Muslim because destroying historical and cultural sites is quintessentially Muslim.

On the other hand, once Islam is gone there'll be no evidence it was ever here.

Checkout Brave. It's a secure browser based on blockchain tech, blocks ads and trackers etc.. and employs a system to reward (donate to) the sites you want in lieu of ad revenue. The system of media relying on ads for revenue is a big factor in perpetuating this plutocratic system. I abhore ads for this reason, and do everything I can to sidestep this system. With the internet as it is we can cut out the middle man (ads) quiet easily and directly reward the creators themselves.

https://brave.com/features/

The internet is developed and controlled by a global network of developers. Attempts by governments in one small area of the planet to ban certain technologies results in the destruction of their own tech industry (developers won't move to countries like that), and the countries with more freedom will become the centres of development.

Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies improve on this concept but essentially it's the same way DNS is developed.

She basically debunked it by coming forward

Yeah, I think the panel discussion benefits a lot from attacking identity politics and social constructivism head on as ideas rather than using obscure ideological terms like "Cultural Marxism" which come with a lot of baggage/politics attached.

The quote in that video I just linked to is from a "documentary" on Cultural Marxism - whilst it's presented as if it's a Marcuse quote it's actually the work of Pat Buchanan and can be found on page 80 of his book Death Of The West... you can verify that for yourself here.

...so that's the level of dishonesty that the current "Cultural Marxism" theory is attached to. It's actually pretty disturbing that they're complaining about social manipulation whilst attempting it. It's kind of the perfect cover.

I create a tonic with boiled water, beef collagen, desiccated beef liver, and salt. Those are the best I've found. You can get them cheaper in bulk through their site.

I have tried collagen capsules that contain all the different forms blended together, but feel that keeping it simple is best. It's easier for your body to digest things that way, and I think that quality beef products is where it's at in this case.

Me too, friend, me too. I was just telling my best friend the other day how I dream of the day when humanity lives connected to nature again. I yearn for this because I know it in my heart to be true. With our current social systems and technology we’ve grown apart and separated our hearts and minds from our true ways, being connected to earth, the plants and animals. To me it’s not unrealistic. We’ve just forgotten. There is a book that really spoke to me, that I think you’d enjoy too! It’s by Michaelle Small Wright. “Behaving as if the god in all life mattered”. https://www.amazon.com/Behaving-God-All-Life-Mattered/dp/0927978245

The Attention Revolution by Alan Wallace is a book a read some years ago. Your post reminded me of it, and I think you would like the book a lot!

I dont think I can (or want to). One of the books I read was Oxygen Advantage ($12 bucks on amazon.) I also read a lot of articles / internet resources, and some Wim Hof videos, but nothing drilled in the science behind it like that book (it also discusses techniques)

https://www.amazon.com/Oxygen-Advantage-Scientifically-Breathing-Techniques/dp/0062349473

Although you can definitely make do without it, I advise highly you to buy a physical book for something so important and potentially life changing, that is, if your breathing habits are not (close to) ideal.

Ursula K Le Guin wrote a book about future where humanity has a self-manufacturing, self-maintaining, solar-system-wide computer network https://www.amazon.com/Always-Coming-Home-California-Fiction/dp/0520227352

Somatic experiencing is a particular type of therapy from Peter Levine that works directly with the vagus nerve and polyvagal theory. It's very helpful for acute and complex trauma.

Hope you're not being sarcastic (this is Reddit after all). If you would like scholarly justification for the self-aware, intelligent wholeness of All-That-Is, it's worth reading this dissertation. Also worth reading David Bohm's work (although much of it is inaccessible to people without training in mathematics), e.g. <em>Wholeness and the Implicate Order</em>.

Regarding methods for contacting specific "Intelligences", there are tons of them. Almost every one that I know of requires some baseline experience with meditation (but not necessarily years and years, weeks would probably do if you have some innate ability to focus).

Eh, I have a small library of books on tarot and related topics (not to mention I grew up with this stuff), so I'd have to spend some time digging up a specific citation. The reference that I think has an extended discussion is now out of print, but the same author wrote this book; you will note that even this book is actually quite expensive at this point, presumably due to its rarity. But there's a lot of stuff online, might try googling "tarot card X" where X is a specific card.
