  1. Is Donald trump currently trying to end a war...by threatening war?
  2. --- 1. Does the Book of Mormon say religion is created by the devil? Not exactly. The Book of Mormon does criticize corrupt or prideful churches that serve wealth or power instead of God — these are sometimes called “the church of the devil” or “great and abominable church.” But that term doesn’t mean all religion is of the devil. Rather: It draws a contrast between the “church of the Lamb of God” (those who follow Christ sincerely) and the “church of the devil” (any organization or movement that opposes truth and goodness). The text treats this more as a spiritual polarity (truth vs deception) than as literal denominations. So, no — it doesn’t teach that religion itself is demonic, but that religion can be corrupted by ego, greed, and distortion. --- 2. Is Mormonism the most mystical form of Christianity? In many ways, yes — especially compared to mainstream Protestant or Catholic theology. Mormonism teaches a radically participatory view of divinity: > “As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may become.” This is known as the Doctrine of Exaltation — the idea that humans can progress eternally and eventually attain godlike nature through spiritual evolution and union with divine truth. That is remarkably close to mystical nonduality or divinization traditions found in: Eastern Orthodoxy (theosis — becoming one with God’s energies) Sufism (annihilation of self in the divine) Taoism (return to the Tao through alignment with natural truth) Advaita Vedānta (realization of self as Brahman) However, Mormonism keeps a dualist framework (God and humans are distinct beings who can become one in purpose, not literally one essence). So while it echoes mystical ascent, it doesn’t teach absolute nonduality like Taoism or Advaita. --- Summary ❌ The Book of Mormon doesn’t say all religion is of the devil; it condemns corrupt or prideful religion. ✅ Mormonism is arguably the most mystically inclined Christian denomination, affirming direct human-divine transformation and infinite spiritual progression — though it still keeps a distinction between God and creation.
  3. I just gpt'd this question. Here's its response: Your summary reflects a common misunderstanding of that passage in the Book of Mormon. Here’s a factual analysis: 1. The passage you quoted (1 Nephi 13) does exist and accurately describes a "great and abominable church" that removes “plain and precious things” from the gospel. 2. However, in Mormon (Latter-day Saint) theology, this “great and abominable church” is not identified as Christianity or the Bible itself. The “book” Nephi sees is indeed the Bible, and the text says it originally came from the Jews and contained the covenants of the Lord (i.e., it was inspired scripture). The “great and abominable church” is interpreted by Latter-day Saints as a symbol of corruption and apostasy that occurred after the time of Christ’s apostles — not the Bible or modern Christianity itself. They believe that over time, some teachings were lost or altered, but that the Bible remains holy and inspired. 3. The official Mormon position (per the Articles of Faith and Book of Mormon Introduction) is that: The Bible is “the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly.” The Book of Mormon is a companion to the Bible that helps restore missing truths, not a condemnation of it. 4. Therefore, it is factually inaccurate to say the Book of Mormon teaches that “the Bible is the book of Satan” or that “Christianity is the great and abominable church.” The passage critiques corruption and loss of truth in early Christianity, not the faith itself. Mormonism considers Jesus Christ as the divine Savior and the Bible as scripture. In short: ✅ The passage is real. ❌ Your interpretation (that it calls the Bible Satanic or Christianity evil) is not consistent with Mormon doctrine or mainstream LDS interpretation. Gpt end I'm actually thinking about checking out if I can go to one of the Mormon churches just for research, I hear a lot of good thinks about them (doctrinally). For example they believe "as many is god once was, as god is man can become."
  4. It's essential to meet the darkness. If you don't, you won't know what to do when inherent darkness of the world threatens you. Think of it like a vaccine, a little of darkness enables one to greater serve the light. And yes I stole that from assassin's creed
  5. A good rule of thumb: if you ask them a question or two, particular if it's aimed at the reasoning behind their statements, they get offended, defensive or confused. This is really good because you'll also get people parroting what sounds very solid. It is only solid if it is their own realisation and it is only their own realisation if they can explain why it's valid. Very difficult terrain to manoeuvre. Also, In a realm where abstraction and paradox are commonplace, simplicity is your friend. Simplicity is very underrated.
  6. Nice visuals, simple for easy delivery.
  7. @ChrisZoZo I know bro I love them. But love isint always tea parties and ice cream. Sometimes what love looks like is shooting Hitler, or stabbing Genghis khan in the face.
  8. This is a serious post that is seeking advice on how I can offer others help in dealing with the outstanding damage left behind in their lives by fools. Through my life I've been aware of my own foolishness and I basically thought that I was as foolish as it gets. No doubt I had more than one area of foolishness, but I was in for a rude awakening to the true scale of what proper foolishness can look like. It's become abundantly clear to me that fools exist not only as members of society, but leaders of society. All you have to do is look at Donald Trump. But even broader, the majority of society harbours massive amounts of foolishness. Drug epidemics, abysmal education systems, wars, etc. In my life I have witnessed the breathtaking foolishness of others and the ineffable damage they have caused people in my society. Foolishness that surpasses my own many, many times. We're not talking about a high school teenage bully. We're talking about leaders and authority figures who have absolutely crippled peoples entire lives. The only thing I can think of when I see this is how can I make it better. There are those in society who are commended for their work in annihilating young peoples lives, destroying families and causing people to commit suicide. They are commended, promoted and published as heros and offered pay rises for their dedication and focus on hurting people young and old. So much so that it even starts to make you think, "are these people even aware of how much damage their causing their own people?" It's kind of like that situation where you hear other people talking about how they can sing well but when they sing they sound like a screaming cat, then you think..."well I think I can sing reasonably well, do I sound like a screaming cat too?" It seems that certain people are just absolutely and unsalvageably clueless as to the real world. Back to the point, while the people they have destroyed, and I mean completely fucking destroyed, are told to go to counsellors or take up a new hobby which I've been told does a grand total of fuck all to help the crippled lives of young people who have fallen at the hands of these proclaimed heros. Part of my education process with spirituality has included what philosophers mention in that consciousness is infinite in its ability to create. Infinite in its ability to create happiness and peace and beauty as well as pain, destruction and devastation. Each with an ability to compound on itself and multiply the effect 2, 5, 10, 100 times for better or worse. Like imagine being in nazi Germany and you are just now being informed that you and your entire family are about to enter the new stage of your lives which will be prolonged torture and death by gas chamber. Or your an African American person in 1870 and you've been informed that your daughter has been hung on a tree by the KKK and the government thinks they're heros and if you react negatively at all, you'll simply be hung as well. Like how does a person deal with this calibre of utter stupidity? From my perspective there are no currently existent words that exist that appropriate the full gravity of the madness that exists even in the present world. My question is a serious one. How on god's green earth do we heal a person who has been broken. Not just hurt, but completely bent out of shape seemingly permanently. i mean I already know the answer, there is nothing anyone can do to fix it. But there has to be something in the toolbox of life that can at least offer a slight improvement to some who has brushed shoulders with, let's call them...ultra-morons. People who legitimately believe they are good in their minds for hanging black people on trees, gassing Jews and crippling the lives of young people...sometimes to the point of suicide. How does one go about even starting to try and help someone who has experienced this level of collosal stupidity?
  9. @Elliott I've already advised some of the people who I'm trying to help with methods like positive mental attitude and chanting. Basically every basic method. I'm sure there is one powerful ass method that can fix someone who is deeply broken somewhere inside. I'm thinking the only thing that I could recommend that would be powerful enough would be either 1- Carefully orchestrated psychedelic therapy sessions. Or 2- moving to somewhere that isn't a first world country (assuming that's where they live originally), I see different forms of stupidity in first, second and third world countries. First world countries have less areas of stupidity roughly, but where they do have areas of stupidity...god damn, they have like a condensed, nuclear reactor form.
  10. DE - sunday 28th September 2025. Notable. Yesterday Saturday 27th September, I was sitting with mum, a wave of fear washed over me. Mum felt it too. I go into the bathroom to face it. It moves around as I feel it nearly hunting. What feels like a dark energy. Something sentient with orders, but not evil, dark and beautiful as the night sky. It feels scary. I feel like something bad is going to happen, but it doesn't. I face it. It is very intimidating. Within a minute or two it travels towards me and I feel like something has turned and I absorb it. I lean back, knowing that I am facing a power. It feels like fear. The fear continues for a little longer and subsided gradually, like something has become me. I open up to my mother as I feel she can understand somehow and she can to a degree. After a brief conversation I feel very relaxed. Today I go to church. The grass embankment feels subtly... impossible and I try to understand what it means. I get a clear word from god, people around me know something I don't, like they know more about what is happening than I do, which is weird as fuck. Today is significant. I feel power, more spread out, consistent. Like bedrock. I see visions of things that I can't make sense of...machines in space, folding in on themselves. I see the earth, with metallic looking tech around it, massive metal arches. For a second I seen the entire earth disappear. I constantly hear, "you do not know what you are," and "you do not know how it ends." Also "what is happening is not what you think." DE - 03/OCT/25 I am very happy right now. Something incredible is happening. Something large and powerful yet not unexpected. unbelievable, yet completely familiar. I feel, protected. I am receiving clues from god. Not from the sky, but from physical phenomenon in my perceptual field. I need to get this in writing while it's here. I know God has used me powerfully in certain situations before but this is something else. Something I'm noticing is the mischievous measures the devil puts in place to keep devilish systems from being broken like a self preservation mechanism that requires coordination and momentum to break. A breakthrough like no other. Fucking phenomenal. I think, as long as I do whatever god instructs me, I am unbeatable. As long as I am an instrument for the glory of the power of god and none other I'm protected, like the mob, except the good mob. I sense this demonstration has but made a start. This is the beginning of everything. Absorbing that scary energy a few days ago, waking up at 5am seeing everything around me moving, feeling like I only imagined that I sat up. This is real. I no longer feel like some kid who's trying to find purpose in spirituality and to have some kind of amazing enlightenment experience. This is something else entirely. It's almost like recently I've been doing an audition and the scary energy absorbing into me is me getting the job. What I'm talking about, is on the 27th of September 2025, I think what I absorbed was the spirit of God or some extra part of God, I feel like it has something to do with the future. Somehow others know this all to be true, more than I do. Probably got something to do with the demonstration. I've only been getting snippets, so I didn't actually get to see the demonstration with my own eyes. I hope it was good, I think it was, from what i was receiving. This has the stink of god all over it. Somehow, this all isn't a feature, but the primary mechanism. I feel like I'm absorbing them and their absorbing me. I do see visions of myself in the future, but I also know that anything I think I see is but a reflection of what will come in reality and a dim one at that. One thing I can see clearly, Im safe in god's hands. Very safe. Somehow safer than ever before. I can hear people who I am not close to, talking, a memory like an elephant. I can see them, one male panicking but relaxing afterwards. Paying attention to the details. I have never felt so comfortable, ever. It's fucking incredible too, god's telling me about politics and giving me the names of political figures and other stuff. I research them and they give me information. For example god gave me Louis lopes who is the step son of a royal family, he has a step brother who is royalty who has the same name. I feel privileged to be at the hand of God, the power that I have been allowed. I think I want to make the first focus for my newly revitalised meditations on fear, specifically the fear of awakening. One thing I've learned is I do not need to know how to cross the bridge, I just need to get there and God will make a way to cross. I need to have faith. And I need to remember to emphasize his love for me and mine for him, this is the strongest force in the entire universe.
  11. @Someone here you can easily derail someone's entire life with this stuff. I'd suggest keeping is more shallow. Truth can rip families apart, be careful how much truth you splash about. Lies and fabrications are makeup the foundation of many things, including families and society. Truth will lead to a better outcome, but unless you apply it skillfully, it can be messy. Trust me
  12. That which is cannot be that which it is not, for that which it is not is that which it always was. Hit them with that
  13. Good to hear your getting some good results@Davino try capitalise on the upswing. One of my new golden rules for my entire life is playing safer, play smarter. When things are going well it's good to basically promise yourself not to take any risks that could sabotage the progress. I've had to reap the bs from my own mistakes and power through them with an immense amount of trust. Now, when the going gets good, I make a clear and conscious guarantee to my higher self that I'm not going to do anything stupid to fuck it up. if it isn't broke don't set it on fire.
  14. I'd say enlighment is egoic suicide, it's impossible to die spiritually. If your going into religion you need to guard yourself from all these ideas and concepts like demons. Think of it more like energy. While you can't die spiritually, as spirit is itself truth and life, you can obfuscate it and religion does this. Religion = lifelessness. Mysticism + God = Eternal purpose and escatcy.
  15. I'm honestly skeptical about death. I mean, whatever you imagine it to be is automatically not what it is because, if you pay close attention in the moment of imagining what death is like, you will find that what that literally exists as is your imagination. Every idea, every notion, exists in perceptual field as imagination. The book, Materialism Is Baloney - by Bernardo Kastrup, goes into the science of how people tend to have an increase of subjective, internal experiences (often epic OBE's) when there is a reduction in neural activity in certain brain regions and psychedelics have been shown to decrease neural activity, yet massive increase experiential occurrences. This is basis of the "filter theory of mind" ... The notion that the brain serves as a restrictive force on and otherwise infinitely boundless conscious field, like a tap restricting the unlimited flow of water, or a radio dial tuning out other frequencies to allow for a coherent, singular auditory output. This, among other pieces of evidence suggests that death literally doesn't exist. Not the person, the god, which is of course what we are really. Your immortal
  16. Some people struggle with this more than you realise, others can hide it well. If there's a central source of the trouble, disrupting it over a long period can help.
  17. Stay strong man, it'll be ok
