Let me translate that into duck ....

To say that supernatural realness isn't real, seems absurd? On the contrary. It appears to me that you think like someone who hasn't come into contact with religion and spirituality for the first few decades of his life, and now that you did, it's mesmerizing you. Spirituality is good, but it can't...

It was you who were asked just a couple of very simple clarifying questions, which you seem to have really struggled in just answering and clarifying. So, if you cannot handle questions, then this is just what it is. I feel your pain. Next time please ask complex questions. Simple ones throw me for...

You have expressed, more or less in the same words, as if cut and pasted, exactly what you wrote here, many different times. Your sheer, unalterable, even righteous certainty that •you know of what you speak• is the ideological position that defines you. I get it, Dubious. There is •such a thing• as...

"Higher" intelligence usually arrives at the conclusion that metaphysical authority isn't real, it's nowhere to be found except in the religious books. And higher intelligence usually has a harder time lying to itself, has a harder time pretending that the metaphysical authority exists on...

I do often sort of admire your vain clucking. The butt-plug is helping after all!

The West has been moving away from religion and God (this supernatural "will") for a long time, why would it just turn around now? It is a good question to ask. My answer? Metaphysical authority is real — realness itself. To align with it is a choice of higher intelligence. That “moving a...

[One goal I have is to master Ebonics if only to be able to exchange brilliancies more fluidly with Promethean. It’s fucking harder than you’d imagine!]

Kinda pointless imo to try to make a mostly non-Christian audience unblock/unsever their connection to Christian metaphysics - a metaphysics they either never had to begin with, or rejected. What we call “the Christian metaphysics” would need to be better understood. The core idea though is univers...

See, some here are simply incredibly advanced. Whereas I, hindered at every turn and suffering innumerable humiliating setbacks, have to struggle like the proverbial devil just to advance a mere percentile. Oh yes, I’ve been tempted to give up time and again …. But you — you denizens! — inspire me t...

General Announcement

I’d been operating at Level 5.5 for about a year. Dipping one week, rising a bit in another. But this AM I had a mystic visitation and (I am holding back tears of gratitude and joy) I’ve been raised up to Level 7.2!

Semper prorsum!

...a really stupid expression which means nothing That’s not quite so. Popular phrases like that, though asinine, actually say more than you’d think. It implies grasping that we “do” ourselves like a performance 🎭 or like a •rehearsal• [“a detailed enumeration or repetition”] Could you — as an exer...

If you can’t handle the •Bonus Package• DM me and let me know which depth and length option you prefer.

if I have cherished tenets of whatever ilk, how can I be nihilistic, since cherished beliefs require values of some kind for better or worse to infringe the vacuum of nihilism. You’re acting dense. I don’t have an answer nor do I intend to research it. Yet nihilistic by definition you seem to be. C...
