just a coconut going for a stroll

the probe ships are vulnerable to being disrupted by radar interference. that's why we crank them up to mach 11 when they get to the place with all the radar, makes it more interesting

I ended up e-mailing the author, I'm really curious if he is aware of experiences where it's not a deceased loved one, but someone the experiencer does not yet know showing up to provide some sort of comfort. It seems unlikely given that he works in hospice, but I also noticed he's done quite a lot of writing on the subject, so I'd really regret not taking the opportunity to reach out! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh that's really cool! Your experience is really interesting and one that had me start down the rabbit hole. Let us know if they respond.

Thanks for summing this up. I appreciate the writeup for a show I don't watch despite what other jokers say.

I thought there was supposed to be something about a picture on a cellphone proving God or contact at the end of the last season? Am I getting my stories mixed up? Hard to keep all this hokey poo poo straight sometimes.

Respectfully, that's quite a powerful spell you've laid on yourself that you can't even hold the concept of ever being happy or fulfilled as an incarnate human being in any lifetime.

You misunderstand - there will certainly be glorious moments of subjective bliss and pleasure. I live them even right now, as my life plants itself firmly in a very difficult time, and a majority of my time is subjectively bad, there is much that brings me joy. I happen to know i'm loved by at least two people romantically, i have a family that loves me, I have many vectors by which i experience pleasure, joy, and love, and the things that make life worth living. I don't wanna erase what's good.

But I also, yes, see existence on earth as pretty hosed and unworthy of me and my spirit. Unworthy of all good hearts and loving souls, to be honest. We live under the shadow of a gigantic industrial trauma and suffering machine. If the suffering itself isn't the point, then it sure does feel like a product of a process that should mean the process be brought to an end rather than accellerated and amplified.

If this thing is just, if this place is not evil, i should be able to get off the ride if I so desire. Riot Bimbo so desires when her life comes to its natural and fated end, to not have another, without being destroyed or subsumed.

i dreamt of an alien talking to me. I wrote the experience down in a journal.

If any of what they said comes to pass, i'll share the journal, but they asked me not to share, like weirdly specifically fourth wall breaking request, so i won't, but i leave this as a reference in case it ever feels relevant to disclose that stuff anyway.

That's really interesting, I've dreamt of an alien talking to me a few times recently too. They also indicated that most of what was said has to remain a secret, at least for now. I hope what they said does come to pass.

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

Reading someone's thesis on Tillich's ideas of ethics and morality ("theonomous reason") and the author keeps getting hung up on things like

The Metaethics of Paul Tillich posted:

One's essential nature = the essential nature of other persons = God

because

The Metaethics of Paul Tillich posted:

For one thing, the claim that the essential natures of man and God are identical makes it impossible to preserve the distinction between creature and creator, which has been an indispensable element of orthodox Christian theology (important for the contribution it makes to the feeling of awe and reverence in worship, even if for no other reason). And, even more serious from a philosophical point of view, the doctrine of the identity of one's own essential nature with that of other persons creates enormous difficulties for the philosophical problems of personal identity and individuation.

no. no it doesn't. ask anyone in this thread about the ideas Tillich was talking about here, friend, and they can explain some of it to you

the author also keeps expressing deep confusion/skepticism at the idea true ethical understanding comes from the Ground of Being and is communicated by the Spiritual Presence because, per Tillich, the knowledge of what "ought to be" is an ontological structure of reality but is not religious per se. This is also a thing that is very easy to understand for anyone that reads this thread regularly, I think, but the way the author is engaging them it is clear he is having / has had just the hardest time picking up what's being (heh) laid down and it's so frustrating that I just need to vent about it, aaaaaahhhhhh

He deserves it. Disclosure could have been much sooner/much more people could be seeing dream aliens, if it weren't for his fuckups.

It's funny... I've never had a contact dream.

I've had the sky full of giant crashing ships dream a few times but I don't want to count that as anything.


And though I can't lucid dream I have realized that in my dreams I am almost always able to fly. Like it's my default state in dreams, hovering above the ground. I don't have conscious control over it as such but I have been able to more willingly engage the power in my dreams to the point where I will fly from place to place and it doesn't strike me as weird

it's funny how often these clowns will go on about "journalistic responsibility" to cover for their sources but seem to think that responsibility does extend to... verifying whatever the gently caress they're saying or even if they are who they say they are

There won't be a Riot Bimbo to desire or not desire another life after the dying process. Dying without complete and total liberation is just gonna lead to another life, no choice from the being you think you are whatsoever. The being that you are couldn't care about the world or its current state if it tried, it's just here and now. That being said, I am definitely not liberated, and despite any of my wishes for or against another reincarnation, it's clear to me that the work isn't over when I see countless incarnations of myself everywhere I look.
