scared of AI taking my girl

@Yimpa WHY YOU DO THIS

@Meeksauce nuh uh

@Nemra Self reflection destroys society.

I mean, the cartoon discusses infinity and essentially points to omnipotence. So, yeah it does touch on themes of awakening. @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Damn girl. You clever. I am still lost in Maya. I kind of prefer Maya myself. My awakenings were disturbing. I’m not sure I grasp or understand them.

@Leo Gura Huh, 🤔 loosely maybe. The realizing that created yourself… etc I think it pulls in themes related to awakening. Perhaps that’s how animated characters awaken. I still, I don’t really understand what Awakening is. I’ve tripped etc. but, I’m fine admitting I’m sure what I’ve experienced. My mind has been too egoic and impure.

@Leo Gura Many even believe they have a personal relationship with Jesus. This is a deep challenging thing. Also, it shouldn't, imo, be our goal to convert anyone. But, offer guidance to those trying to make sense of things. They, will die Christians at the end of their lives. 99% of people, will never know what you teach. At least the 99% currently alive. Maybe in thousands of years things will change. I still don't know what you teach.

@Leo Gura Have you ever seen this animation? Do you think it matches what awakening it like at all?

@cistanche_enjoyer Tobacco itself is a really nice plant. Cigarettes are not just tobacco, they have a lot of additives and they are GMO very different from traditional tobacco. Also, I don't think it was used chronically or recreationally as it is now. Ultimately, it's also a cultural aspect of relativistic shamanism and God doesn't hold it in any higher regard than anything else. @Someone here I hear you haven't been smoking, how do you feel about that?

@Leo Gura Okay, so how do you help someone who thinks the already know Christ is Lord, that they are already close to God.... That your God is truer than theirs? You probably can't. And, is knowing God more valuable to a Christian than their social group? Their piers? Their life style? I doubt it.

By what is of benefit to a Christian for deconstructing it? I guess because they hold it is Truth, they don't even believe you that you can deconstruct it. Christians will hold on to their belief until they die. Then, they will realize it was a dream.

Mike Nolan is my spiritual Guru

@gettoefl amen brother 👨. @Nemra Can you explicitly explain why Christianity should be able to deconstruct itself and why that is good?

I was looking into this THCa stuff Leo talks about. No wonder Leo’s gets super stoned on it it’s like pure THC. I was considering trying it in a few months but I’m good.

@Someone here Qigong and breathwork I’m the morning and the some Pu’erh God doesn’t judge me. Also, tobacco and coffee everyday is ADDICTION. Not conscious living.

Yucky 🤢

First season was surprisingly very good. Strong start to second season.

@LoneWonderer I am not Christian but there is meaning of in scripture… There is beauty, love and wisdom in all religions. I relate to these things with more radical openness and not identifying with them. But, I’ve been moved by aspects of all religions. I’ve learned from them all. I’ve also seen their limitations, corruption etc. Does a Christian know they are being fooled? It likely depends on the person. Many, likely do not. Though, at times something in reality may feel confusing. A lot likely do but it doesn’t serve their survival or sense of reality to explore that. And, there are those who question their faith, leave it only to find themselves overwhelmed and confused and crawling back to what is time tested and familiar. Then, there are those who hop religions or adopt a belief system like atheism. But, they still never find absolute truth or develop a strong grounded truthful and holistic philosophy and consciousness. I don’t know if any human has really done this or how possible it is for a human. 100% of human is fooled to some degree. I do not think any human is free of being fooled or wrong, or not knowing or understanding. The human sober state of operating is focused on surviving in the human domain of which deep mystical insight and high levels of cognitive, psychological, ego, consciousness develop is rare and even dangerous. It is much safer, easier and convenient to be a Christian, or to hop to being a Buddhist, or an atheist, or a new ager or something else. There is almost always some kind of human level conformity in all human spiritual seeking and study. I’m still unclear the way around that. It’s like we swim in a human sea of concepts ideas beliefs and habits. —- I think as well regardless of the context, ie Christian, Muslim, etc… most humans have many complex and intricate levels of human survival needs and self deception. Integral metatheory (there is a map in Kin Wilbur’s toward a radical wholeness book) shows and helps to illuminate all the structural aspects of people’s consciousness and cognitive framing and capacities.

Outrage

Anyway, I was really hard on you because that was silly. You should learn from this if you want. You can enjoy use these things... just be realistic aboue the dose. 100-200ug is pretty good for most people...

I’m so non-conformist I don’t even want this skin on me

Looks so cool! Remind me to look into a retreat centre and set a date for my own 1-2 day sit for practice.

The mistake I made early on in this thread is mixing phonetics with phonology and morphology, I think. The morphology of those words can help distinguish it's meaning, not the phonetics alone. Also, I didn't explicitly remember some of those endings alone other than phobia. I feel it is important for me to be honest that for for most of them I had an implicit understanding I used chatgpt to check my understanding because I wasn't sure. I suspected what you were saying was correct... But, I hadn't fully grasped the distinction between phonetics and morphology. In reality, though I was correct that I knew there was other aspects of understanding happening with phonetics I hadn't yet made it explicit to myself. @Elliott You made lots of good points. Thank you! I apologize for calling you a dick. It seemed like that at the time. But, your point was true and valid. I will continue to strive to admit when I am wrong, dishonest or disingenuous as it becomes aware to me.

I share this to further expand and illuminate the depth and connection of these aspects of literacy.. chatgpt Grammar & Syntax Grammar – rules for structuring sentences, including: Parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) Agreement (subject–verb, pronoun–antecedent) Tense, aspect, mood Voice (active vs passive) Why it matters: Understanding grammar lets you parse complex sentences. It reveals relationships between words and ideas. It’s crucial for decoding meaning in context. Syntax – the arrangement of words and phrases: Sentence types: simple, compound, complex Modifiers and their placement Parallel structure Clause relationships (cause, contrast, condition) Why it matters: Syntax gives the logical architecture of language. Helps with inferring relationships and emphasis. Enables reading for nuance, not just literal meaning. Punctuation & Orthography Punctuation – marks that clarify meaning and rhythm: Commas, periods, colons, semicolons, dashes, quotation marks, parentheses Signals tone, pauses, emphasis, lists, contrasts, and quotations Why it matters: Guides parsing of sentences Indicates logical connections and hierarchy of ideas Helps detect rhetorical nuance (questions, exclamations, irony) Capitalization & Orthography – visual cues for meaning: Proper nouns, titles, acronyms Sentence boundaries Hyphenation (compound words, modifiers) How These Layers Interact Phonetics & phonology → decoding sounds Morphology & etymology → decoding word meaning Grammar & syntax → decoding sentence structure Punctuation & orthography → decoding hierarchy and emphasis Contextual inference → decoding meaning dynamically in real text Grammar and punctuation act as the scaffolding for higher-level meaning. Without them, morphology and context clues can only go so far.
