Oooh, I’ll add that to my (unrealistically long!) reading list. Thanks!

It’s not even only pedophilia, but every other kind of abuse, especially when abusers feel they ameliorate or are guilt free by half-informing the abused, or informing them in a way they know will be understood differently. Right to work, for example.

I understand you. What I’m saying, for example, if I am considering between a green salad, fruit, or smoothie for lunch, my argument for greens would be iron content, fruit argument may be for the C content, smoothie would be “I can get both.” But in the United States, we’re taught “argument” is disagreement, or negative. So yes. I do agree we can take a dialectical approach, which if I’m understanding it correctly, takes contradiction in ideas and basically does the same as my lunch example? But I’m still grappling with my understanding of the word, so there’s also that. As a side note, it occurs to me dialectics informs your style when correcting us on misconceptions (and also wondering if it’s your general disposition to be so patient and good natured, or if understanding and practicing dialectics had lent extension to any degree)?

I think it’s how we’ve been trained to understand it.

Arguing isn’t bad. How it’s done may be!

Thank you, for taking the time. I honestly can’t wait for their next argument to learn even more!

Mhmm, really digging your expansion here as an addendum to our earlier conversation on the same subject.

Life isn’t binary.

Then seek solutions. Everyone has something of value to offer.

As in Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. Sorry, I gotta move my butt. Have fun! Study the mystics, especially any flavor kabbalah!

I referred to the council of nicea. The Ethiopian in English is complete but with mistranslations. Tesla Tsela meaning rib or side, was translated by Greek and Roman translators as “rib (like a boat hull)” but there is plenty of rabbinical discussion whether atom was androgynous or hermaphrodite. The consensus is androgyne. But as the universe and God holds both yin and yang (masculine/feminine) energies, so do we. Find a positive pole without a negative one. And feminine is more like 0 in binary code. So nonbinary and gender fluid are entirely godly. Just maybe not when you’re trying to go from a small tribe to a nation (incomplete perspective). If we’re not evolving, we’re dead. And evolution means mutation.

I have to get going. Religiophilo is fun. We need more liberal arts studies. Stem is yang, lib art is yin. It takes both to be complete.

*Autocorrect is fun x_x

Angels were created as perfect servants who obey all commands without free will

Then why did Lucifer fall? You have to have the texts left out.

Angels were created of fire (stars) passion. Man of earth, matter. Yhwh told the angels to bow and worship man, they refused, thinking they were better (double slit experiment). And we’re still hung up on this lesson. We haven’t figured out how to do breathairisnism yet. And when we do, we will have to figure out how to breathe a substance that doesn’t contain microbes. Or you know, return to being stars.

“We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.”

You want stepford wives. I don’t and you don’t get to choose that for me.

The hero’s journey is exactly the point!

It is good. Challenges are meant to evolve us to our best possible selves.

If the kingdom of heaven is within us, where is the kingdom of hell? The tree of life, whether yggdrassil, abramic, or hermetic offers great insight, here.

At their core they use symbolism to teach the same things. You get to choose. Misunderstanding lessons is allowed. It’s Montessori style school.

Why? If we just knew, we’d be stepford wives or ai.

Being created little gods who die like men, our lesson is to solve certain things, at least amelioration of them. But all things die, and are born anew. A mutation that is helpful or harmful today may not have been so yesterday or tomorrow.

Is a hero a hero without a villain?

I’d wager you’ve been a hero to some people’s telling and not so much, to others’.

Every relationship is karmic, that is we learn.
