"Spiritual revolution" Dangerous phrasing ;D. As to forgiveness, you're only peaceful if you have the capacity for violence, otherwise you're just pathetic.

@lotus-cube the russian band Кино first performed "Хочу перемен" (I want changes!) in 1986, about changing one's own heart. the soviet union collapsed in 1991.

Very nicely written. I agree with so many of the things you spoke about, especially that we have been inclined to non-action regardless of how strongly we feel. There is a sort of soft manipulation that hides like a ghost in the online world, changing even the most seemingly intelligent of people into drones.

That is why "absolute power corrupts absolutely." Stacking symbolic abstractions on top of one another can divorce perceptions from reality to the point where any action can be "justified". We must be careful with pride. There are limits to knowledge in that another's personal experience does not have a 1-to-1 correspondence to one's own.

Forgiveness is not to acquiescence to injustice out of fear, and thus condone evil passively. It is to not allow oneself to be controlled by the ways in which one has been hurt, to voluntarily choose to heal. How many truly want peace? Or do they harbor vengence in their heart and simply want to trade places with a tyrant?

The key is how we choose to apply our own will moment-by-moment. All black magick is an imposition of one's will upon another, specifically to derive some sense of "power", whether it take on the form of active violence or passive manipulation.

However, each of our choices affects others, whether we are aware of the impact or not. If we have any sense of conscience whatsoever, as we learn of those impacts, we revise our methods to make them less harmful to others.

True Justice is restorative, not punitive. It does not fall victim to "The Myth of Redemptive Violence" that acts to perpetuate violence itself. Likewise, True Mercy is not being a sycophant. There is a careful balance between individual rights and collective responsibilities. [*compare "legalism" with "hypergrace"]

...I should also mention that, while there is quite a bit of nuance, I find "satan" = "demiurge" to be a helpful interpretation. What spirit rules the world and how? (Matthew 4:8-9)

Ultimately, I believe that there is a fundamental "error" that has crept into the perception of humanity at the dawn of our existence, like the "three poisons" within the "wheel of samsara" that we talked about before.

I respect you Watchman on the Wall. That passage is to highlight a common bias of the ancient Romans. When a human sees themselves as "god almighty," then they can rationalize forcing any amount of servitude upon others "for your own good"! But as PKD said, "The empire never ended." https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/scispirit/Misc/PKD/experience

Where does "constitutional democracy" become corrupted? The only one I want to "represent" me is Christ, the perfect reflection of righteousness. For the only sign in which I shall conquer is in the Love of the Son of Man, every person from the unborn seed to the long forgotten.

Life is priceless. Pray for the Caesars to truly become Christs as you pay the tribute to the imperial cult and the "money spell" will be broken. (2 Timothy 3) More soon.

from 2 timothy 3, "terrible times in the last days" indeed.

No worries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJPmZFUDoi8

When does self-sacrifice become self-harm? A person can carelessly throw their life away if they pridefully think of themselves as a "hero", "savior", or "innovator" by doing so.

And that is true whether we are talking about a modern metropolis filled with bugmen or suicide attacks by Jewish zealots against Rome in a 1st century Judea. Surah 2:87. وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

[In other words, I can deeply identify with your pains, but it cannot be resolved by becoming a Sicarii. Only peace can begat peace. 🤗🕊️]

this world could be perfect and i still wouldnt see having children as a good thing. by not existing you completely avoid everything bad and the necessity for anything good

@psychicnewborn - It is noble to love your unborn children so much that you never have them in order to protect them from the evils of this world, but what will we do with our own lives? Even a belief in "nothing" is a belief in something. By turning away from one thing, we simultaneously turn towards another...like the perfection of virtue and life forevermore.

Oh yeah, almost forgot 19th-20th century Korea! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%E2%80%93Korea_Treaty_of_1905

...remember Ephesians 6:12? Manipulations and fronts like missionary tourism, televangelism by millionaires, non-profit industrial complexes, military peace-faking, unequal treaties, and so on are spirits of the anti-Christ and of the synagogue of Satan. Neither "Christian", "Jew", nor people from any particular nation-state. The Mandate of Heaven says Matthew 7:22-24!

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Good luck on the gnostic path. I have heard that the erosion of the Abrahamic God is the erosion of the foundation of Western morality and everything else stacked on top. Some are so eager to subvert and destroy the foundations... The most progressive is the first to turn back when we take a wrong turn.

rice reveal... ricing linux is really just vanitas but for nerds. the smartest programmer that ever lived used a completely stock Ubuntu desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYE2Urp1n8s

very nice

As for the journal entry...Indeed, there are so many inversions/perversions of Truth within society that it can be hard to see past them sometimes...

...emphasis on violent competition rather than peaceful cooperation, meaningless notions of "rank" or "status" rather than true equality, taking by force in order to entertain personal wants rather than freely giving to fulfill other's genuine needs, hoarding rather than sharing, tearing down rather than lifting up, and so on.

In a similar way, sins are prisons built upon fear. Pride is often a cover for insecurity, while greed and lust can be futile attempts at countering a sense of lack and loss, however contradictory that might seem upon the surface. Temptation itself is to mistake hell for a heaven, and thereby become trapped in it.

Therefore, living as Christ still means persecution, for it is difficult to survive outside of a society that would constantly compel one to sin. However, there is incredible beauty and joy in sincerely trying to be steadfast in virtue amidst the chaos and pain. It brings forth an Agapic Love that is ineffable.

This Agapic Love can only be lived. It is known experientially, not merely "intellectualized" about. This is the true "gnosis".
