1:29:50 Parlato!

@Neal I thought your explanation of the TLC as being sequential powers of ten resonated a lot. Well said. - one of the 1,000

This was helpful to hear folks assessment on TLC space.

Luke, I agree with you about the importance of relating and loving, but what exactly does it mean to love someone in your mind?

"Going within and meeting no one for hours...." With my IFS hat on, what aspect of one self might one then meet having journeyed so far inside

57:11 "The road to hell is paved with first principles." 💯💯💯

Blue beam in tandem with real demonic ETs will be the great deception. It will roll out immediately after Jesus removes his bride from the Earth.

50:34 to become illumined, not good person. The theologians I’m reading say those are two distinct things.

What is the truth that he sees……❤💯this is love.

Thanks

18:10 it’s occurring to me that God’s “let it be” is first like a decree, and then secondly as permission. First the imperative, then the declarative. But so that he could be all in all, Christ’s “let it be” becomes a “let it be unto me” so that Gods “let it be” is ultimately an act of sacrificial love that we can participate in by taking up the cross, the tree. There is also a lifting up of the word(s), so that in the sacrificing they become the action. “Not my will, but yours” This may also be a helpful hint towards rejoicing in our sufferings.

Today is my birthday. I'm listening to you as I start this day. I feel nourished and blessed by your contemplation, sincerely. What a gift. What a joy❤ What a divine breakfast!

🎶Dance, dance wherever you may be for I am the Lord of the dance said he and I lead you all wherever you may be For I lead you all to the dance said he.🎶 🎶Thank you Jed and Shari❤

How can I find the Fr. Oleska talk mentioned?

Thank you, Shari and Jed.

@1:00:00 re: John the Baptist calling Jesus from the future - this is detailed in tomberg’s chapter on THE SUN 🍻

Love these streams! Thank you Jeremy and Shari

"[T]he discourse of science and the discourse of capitalism[:] these are the two prevalent discourses of modernity which, since their respective appearances, have begun to destroy the traditional structure of human experience. The combined domination of these two discourses, one supporting the other, has grown to such an extent that this domination has succeeded in diluting, perhaps even breaking, this tradition in its deepest foundations. In this way we have seen the tremendous change in the symbolic order, whose corner-stone has been fractured: that is, the corner-stone - the Name of the Father - which is, as Lacan says with extreme precision, the Name of the Father according to tradition. The Name of the Father according to tradition has been touched, has been devalued by the combination of the two discourses of science and capitalism." -Jacques-Alain Miller, 2012 (The Real in the Twenty-First Century)

In Russian, the first syllable is stressed but the way you pronounce it is cute. I thought it was Aleutian or something. 😂

I grew up in a smaller but healthy church that provided me with a lot of healthy role models for adult life. There were viewpoints and unhealthy stuff I didn't adopt, but there was plenty of good stuff to adopt. And as mcmo said it provides a good background, but then ultimately it is on the individual to engage with that background and decide what to keep and what to change.

We shared the lives of St. Olga of Alaska and St. Peter the Aleut.

"Acceptance" is an equivocal word (like all words), and a distinction must be made between acceptance as a judgment about truth or fact, and acceptance as a moral or value judgment, (essentially the *is-ought* distinction). People get entangled in all kinds of cognitive dissonances when they fail to make this simple distinction. For example: I can accept the _truth_ of the matter that I am currently _behaving_ like an addict, without accepting my addictive behaviors as _morally_ kosher. For any change to be possible, the first kind of acceptance must precede the other: you can't fix a problem you don't recognize the existence of. It is a psychoanalytic truism that neurotics (overly emotional people) are neurotic because they refuse to look reality in the eye, most often because they believe themselves incapable of handling it. P.S: "Truth" here isn't some absolute ontological fact (such truth is unavailable to us), it simply means the willingness to acknowledge what seems to be the case and/or what has been expressed. It means opening your eyes and looking at the reality presented in from of you, but as a redoubled act, that is, _consciously_ and _actively_ looking.

_Categories tend to vanish in the face of the real._ _There are some truths we can apprehend only by releasing our claims to them._ - *Michael Martin* _I have hung all systems on the wall like a row of useless hats. They do not fit. They come in from outside, they are suggested patterns, some dull and some of great beauty. But I have lived enough of my life to require a pattern that fits over everything I know..._ _...We are dumb and blind yet we must see and speak...It is the unnameable, unfathomable and invisible darkness that sits at the centre of him, always awake, always different from what you believe it to be, always thinking and feeling what you can never know it thinks and feels, that hopes hopelessly to understand and be understood. Our loneliness is the loneliness not of the cell or the castaway; it is the loneliness of that dark thing that sees as at the atom furnace by reflection, feels by remote control and hears only words phoned to it in a foreign tongue. To communicate is our passion and our despair._ _With whom then?_ _You?_ _My darkness reaches out and fumbles at a typewriter with its tongs. Your darkness reaches out with your tongs and grasps a book. There are twenty modes of change, filter and translation between us. What an extravagant coincidence it would be if the exact quality, the translucent sweetness of her cheek, the very living curve of bone between the eyebrow and hair should survive the passage! How can you share the quality of my terror in the blacked-out cell when I can only remember it and not re-create it for myself? No. Not with you. Or only with you, in part. For you were not there..._ _...There is this hope. I may communicate in part; and that surely is better than utter blind and dumb; and I may find something like a hat to wear of my own. Not that I aspire to complete coherence. Our mistake is to confuse our limitations with the bounds of possibility and clap the universe into a rationalist hat or some other. But I may find the indications of a pattern that will include me, even if the outer edges tail off into ignorance._ - *William Golding*

Your riff around 52:00 was really connecting with me, Chad

I read her autobiography not that long ago. Fascinating person.

I'm a month late to the party, here. Thanks, Luke.

i dont think bpd can be separated from nihilism. in some way those people want to suicide, but are basically too weak or embodied to actually do it physically. instead they will wish the rest of the world destroyed instead of themselves. the dialectical frame for them is already something completely underground: not about truth/falsehood or right/wrong but self/world.

I cannot emphasize this enough. Giving medicine to healthy people will make them sick. If you think something is so great that everyone should be taking it, it is either not a medicine or you are ideologically possessed. There are no pure goods in this world.

Still waiting for a reply to how to distinguish reality from imagination. "It is logically necessarily the case that for every true thing to believe, many false things can be believed in its stead. If for every true thing to believe, many false things can be believed in its stead, it is logically necessarily the case that most things that can be believed are false. Therefore anything you believe without proof that it’s likely to be true, is logically necessarily likely to be false. The only way we have found to prove a belief likely to be true, is by logic or evidence. Therefore, only what you have logical or empirical proof of, can you be warranted in believing. But wait! Maybe there is some other way to tell the difference between true and false beliefs, that isn’t logic or evidence. Maybe? Sure. Examples please?..............." Hat tip to Richard Carrier PhD "Timothy Keller: Dishonest Reasons for God (Chapter 8)"

“The word individual is all about a single entity that cannot be divided, it can mean person and even personal.” I am not advocating for individualism. But rather for personal responsibility which allows for greater cooperation within the Body/body. Everything and everyone is connected. This is the reason annihilationism and ECT as concepts don’t work for me.

I’m doing a weekly RO-DBT group at my local hospital. I’ve been going for 3 weeks now. It’s looking promising. It’s similar to DBT course but adapted for avoidant attachment style.

1:12:00 Our anxieties may ebb and flow, but I will dare say that all of us over the age of 15 have felt the fear Rod described.

Hegelian bad too.

Dialectical would have sounded too Marxist. Dialectics being their famous catch word

Church is when two or three are gathered together in the spirit of Christ within..contemplative intuition is required

Lately I've been trying to memorize Ephesians 1:3-6 which goes like this.. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto himself To the praise of the glory of his grace Wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved If I quoted it right 《kjv) it sounds quite poetical to me But theology as generally understood is not scriprure itself but rather talking about what the scriptures are saying So even though many scriptures could easily be converted into the poetical flow...theology is much to academic..critical analysis kind of thing... However I think a theological poetry can be created.. Heart romancing the scriptures in Gods glory co-worked within

1:34:19 The holy man is Moses The wild man is Elijah Both are on the mountain of the transfiguration with Christ in the middle

27:01 Is this state of awareness that Jed describes the same as the law of gravity?

Hallelujah

You guys should do this every day

Shari and Jed, speaking my language. ❤.Thank you both!

It's been a while. Miss you Jed

"He's not a poet." "He's a lawyer." "And it shows."

Gimme a tardy.
