You accuse me of "TDS" because I recoil in disgust at you (and millions of other cult members) treating the most brazen pathological liar in human history as if he were some kind of "Christ-like" figure.
For my part (your comment was directed to Wizard) I cannot
accuse you of anything really.
Accusation is not the purpose of anything I write....
If that's so, then it appears as if somebody is hacking into your account and posting stuff like this...

Seeds … better than TeeVee, better than YooToob. A multimedia spectacle of
TDS.
Anyway, back to your more recent post...

...I am far more interested in *seeing* and understanding what is going on around us.
That is certainly a worthwhile goal.
Unfortunately, it is limited to the degree to which one is conscious enough (awake enough) to actually comprehend what it is they are seeing.
And that is in reference to the issue that most humans do not realize that we are
all walking around on this planet in varying degrees of somnambulism, wherein most haven't the slightest realization of the fact that there are
"higher levels of wakefulness" above their own. of which I loosely represented in one of my fanciful illustrations...
(My apologies to those who have become bored or annoyed with my illustrations, but I created them for these types of conversations, so I'm going to use them.)

...True it is that I definitely and adamantly believe that the Christian revelation cannot and should not be side-stepped or negated.
And if you would make the slightest effort to understand what my theory is about, you would realize that I too feel the same way. I mean, good lord, my theory is thoroughly steeped in Christian metaphysics, especially in the notions encapsulated in the following series of Biblical verses and commentary...
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
To me, that verse is obviously referencing our eternal souls, not our bodies.
"For in him we live, and move, and have our being;...For we are also his offspring."
For in our mother's womb we once lived, and moved, and had our being,...for we were also
her offspring.
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
When our mother's appeared to us - post birth - we could see her as she is, and we were like her. The same will apply again to our familial relationship with God after our second and final birth...
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water [via the human womb] and of the Spirit [via death], he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit....
...Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
We're talking about an already set-in-motion (done deal) situation wherein God has already initiated the process that is going to...
"...change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself..."
In other words, through death, our "vile [earthly] bodies" will be left behind as nothing more than a higher form of "placental-like" discard,...
...and thus we (according to a more advanced interpretation of Christian metaphysics)...
"...shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...'
...into whatever it is that God (our ultimate parent) is in that higher context of reality where God and our true eternal form (the same form as God) will finally be revealed to us.
So, I guess it's not so much of a
"fashioning" of our
"vile bodies" into that which is likened unto God's glorious body, but more of
a revealing of what we already are once we discard our vile bodies (these "placental-like/seed-like" shells) through the process we call death.
All of which I tried to depict in yet another of my fanciful little illustrations...
So, yeah, I'm with you, AJ, when it comes to promoting the
"true implications" of Christianity.
And that would be in direct opposition to all of the
mythological nonsense involving the so-called
"Fall of Man" that allegedly took place in a phantasmagorical garden where two boneheaded humans were convinced by a talking snake (Satan) to eat the magical fruit from a tree that should never have been put there in the first place.
Which, of course, instigated the need for a savior to rescue all future humans from an
eternity of torture in Hell because God failed to perform some simple garden pest control.
Pure and utter nonsense!
On the other hand, unlike you, I see the need to bring forth and highlight what is good and logical in all of the other spiritual traditions of the world,...
(which, according to Hermetic philosophy, was given to them at their inceptions by God)
...so that none of the world's religions are excluded from the aforementioned project of formulating a new and universal
"code of conduct" for all humans to follow.
Hence my earlier suggestion of having
AI help us achieve that goal.

In that sense your psychedelic inspired and determined Vision is actually a tripped-out version of the Christian Picture, but instead of the God of Theology and strict morality, your God is expressed in this floating *eye* which, according to your descriptions, looks down on mere amoebas. And your preaching, and your diagramming, is one directed to such uni-celled creatures.
Again, if you would make the slightest effort to understand my
"...tripped-out version of the Christian Picture...," you would realize that the God I am depicting in the theory, looks down on us in pretty much the same way that a human mother looks down at the fetus within her womb...
Indeed, I only use the analogy of
"amoebas" to show the vast contrast between our temporary (in-utero) level of consciousness and that of our ultimate parent's level of consciousness.
Now I am always willing to admit that my theory could be wrong (bonkers).
However, if you can come up with a concept that is more
"NATURAL" and
"ORGANIC" than the one I am promoting; one that implies an ever-growing, ever-evolving, eternally fun, interesting, and "fruitful" purpose
for all humans,...
...then let's hear it.
(And thus ends my Sunday [4/21/24] sermon. Please be generous when the offering plate makes its way down your aisle, lest you burn in Hell. )
