A great look at religion and spirituality today…However, if you read between the lines it illustrates the need of the church. Rather than being an opiate of the masses, it can become the remedy in the correct doses.

It is not surprising for people to look to the transcendent. So if we are to look at the transcendent we must have the guidance of a very clever and knowledgeable psychologist, Minister, or Priest to give the does needed for us to survive in today information saturated world.

This does not mean that we all need to disconnect to achieve sanity in hyperinformation world.

Worthwhile information anyway….

====================================================================

Posthumous people — like me, for example — are less understood than timely ones,* but better heard. More strictly; we are never understood–and hence our authority…

====================================================================

Before we can begin we must know what posthumously means — DEAD —

So yes just because some dead guy said it long ago they must have been smart so we must agree –NO– not at all. It is a worthwhile effort to understand their perspective; however, be careful who’s shoes you would like to put on because sometimes it’s hard to escape their abyss.

Nietchie’s shoes are hard to fill, yet harder to escape.

Try it.

Free will is not an illusion – Denis Noble

My take:

Philosophy and Physiology cannot answer behavior alone. The definitions of the scientific and social spheres are different.

For example; the scientist will say memory is just that a memory. Collective memory may be connected to two or many computers or humans who share and pass on memory through history and or stories.

Here, I see the complexity of social studies as much more complex and much needed to understand the true complexity of life.

For example, choice is a variable and reaction.

So, although my stomach is growling it is 12:07 am. I will not eat now because it is too late and I should be getting to bed soon. I can control my bio-chemical urges. Therefore, free will does exist and will always exist. We have evolved to control; individually, our primal instincts.

Everyone knows what they need to do….sometimes we are not keen to understand how our body works; which, in turn, affects our own personal computer our brain.

Try living fulfilling just only your primal urges….GOOD LUCK!

Therefore, our minds can control this and sometimes we should master our desires and go to bed hungry regardless of the urge to eat.

Now, going to drink some water and go to sleep with a little pang of hunger.

What? you are searching? you would like to multiply yourself by ten, by a hundred? you are looking for followers?—Look for zeros!*

====================================================================

You first have to be a zero, before you become a hero…..HAHAHAHAH!

Just kidding…this is just as I said a long time ago i do this to leave a lasting record something for my children to read when they have time when they are older.

Hopefully, they get the journal bug as well.

Man created woman—-but from what? From the rib of his God*—-of his ‘ideal’…

===============================================================

I am not sure what to take from this. How can man create woman rather than God Created woman. It seems that Niechie switch the roles here in that he is saying that we men have created woman from our God. But, the respect we have for woman would be changed in that we create the woman from our God. If we create a woman from our God means we love them and hold them to a higher place than anything else.  SO it is the same both ways.

As one will observe, all of these questions we can see why it was written. It was written for us to be rational and saying things not as they are but as they should be.

As a result we run into trouble to prove this when things go areye. As a result, we must be more inquisitive when making observations and becoming more indepth or deep in thought. 

Learning how to reply properly without the necessity to reply is very important.  Do not reply for the sake of replying. As a result, we avoid much conflict as such.

Right thing to do is different than a moral right and wrong thing to do.

If you have your why? For life, then you can get along with any how?—Man does not strive for happiness; only the English do that.*

HA

At that time in history, only the English and English colonies had high levels of development and elite. Not just the English, however their society strived for happiness in the easy life.  Tea, Coffee and the better things in life.  Yes, this may seem like an oversimplification but mostly true.

Tucker Carlson with Vladimir Putin: A Reflection.

———————————————————————————————————————

Was this real? Am I hallucinating? Looks like Putin knew more about Tucker than he did about himself. Elite’s know too much off-with their heads.

Why should Putin go to the table with Biden, he’s just funding the war?

I’m not sure, I might have to go through this interview line by line….However, Tucker was outclassed by Putin and in the end we will be victims to these devils who sold their soul for power.

Where Tucker looks human in that respect. Putin looked like Ivan Drago , that’s why I like him.

Cheers

I have to think a bit before I write more……more to come.

Can an ass*be tragic?—Perishing under a load you can neither bear nor shed?…The case of the Philosopher.

===============================================================

True…Although the philosopher’s most wise statement is “I do not know,” bears the tragic and depressive quest to find out…determination to find out the unknown is the philosopher’s curse. It can be tragic the level of despair in finding out the truth of the matter and whether it will be accepted…if at all in one’s lifetime…Yes, tragic being an ass and a curse that gives us progress of mankind.

Thank you philosophers.

Yes

Do not be cowardly towards your actions! Do not abandon them after the event!—Remorse is indecent.*

===============================================================

The goal is to act in a way as not to be never remorseful of your actions. Improve everyday, step by step. Improvement and getting closer to your best self takes time and there are many setbacks, yet it is a worthwhile endeavor. As a set back may get you down, major jumps up can also not be good because in the universe for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Remorse is sometimes healthy you cannot take the narcissistic route and think that you are perfect so no remorse is needed and regret but the key is to learn from your mistakes.
