Oh, I didn't know you were in this New Age movement. I guess you are more of the belief in ancient knowledge like the Kyballion.

Aren't you?


Nope, it's more like the "Old Age" movement lol, I'm Cherokee.

I feel for you man, I think it's social media that fucked it all up for you.


It was a hundred times easier for my generation; you just conked her in the head with a club and dragged her back to your cave.


Here's a metaphorical that demonstrates how much easier it was for my generation, maybe it will help.


A businessman decides that it is time to hire a new secretary and has it narrowed down to a blonde, a redhead, and a brunette. Unable to choose between the three of them, he decides to conduct an experiment. At the end of the day he places a five dollar bill on the ground in his office to see how each girl would react. The blonde sees the money, picks it up, and places on his desk and then walks out. The redhead sees the money but ignores it and walks out. The brunette sees the money, looks around, and puts it in her pocket before leaving.


Which girl did the businessman hire?


The one with the largest breasts of course.

A confession before a priest is like going to see a shrink. That's all.

Are you telling us you've done both?
Yes, I once visited a psychotherapist. It's not a big deal, you tell what bothers you and he replies saying it's all good, nothing more. The only difference is that the priest forces you to pray for redemption while the shrink prescribes you medication in certain cases, it wasn't my case though.


I wasn't judging you or anything, just wondering if you knew what you were talking about. On these boards, more often than not, we have experts that don't know anything about what they are talking about (you know, parental experts who never had a child, Atheists who are experts on how to be a Theist, that kind of thing). I only asked out of curiosity because your posts usually strike me as sincere, that's rare here.


Anyway, I've been there and done that too, not Catholic but worked through things with both ministers and counselors, and I agree with you, they are essentially the same process, one is working with the unconscious mind and the other with the Kingdom that is within, same-o same-o. So, I've gone to both, but for different reasons, learned a lot by comparison of the two also.


I've actually engaged a third option, had a long and close relationship with a Medicine woman, she was a heap big spirit woman and let me tell you, it takes on a whole new dimension when you are pretty sure that your therapist could turn you into a newt if she wanted to.


Nobody gave me drugs though.

She was believable, unlike your post.


Yes, she was believable, and what she said had nothing whatsoever to do with the 2020 election. What is unbelievable is that Trump’s poorly educated can’t grasp that simple fact.


The only people that have been fooled by this lie are Trump's beloved "poorly educated".

Then you should support the SAVE Act, as it will quickly destroy MAGA when the poorly educated can't even use Google to get a voter ID instead of lying again to make fake friends. Or is your next big lie going to be that you have to stop the Save Act because you really love MAGA people?


MAGA is already dead, Trump has the lowest polls ever, our enemies and our allies are done with him, even his personal judicial branch is fed up with his blatently illegal nonsense. In the midterms, there is a blue tsunami coming that will wash away the rotting remains of MAGA. After that debacle, republican politicians will be more afraid of the voters than they are of Trump. His only hope, and what I think he fully intends to do, is use the military to overthrow our democratic process, fortunately, our military is more honorable than that. It’s time to put a fork in it, MAGA is done.


you have chosen fascism over diversity.

Lol, diversity is straight-up Hitler fascism when one so-called skin-race is always excluded under the modern definition of diversity. Especially when there were fascist authoritarian laws before the Supreme Court struck down all the racist DEI authoritarian laws thanks to your 14th Amendment.


LOL, I forgot your white supremacist and Christian Nationalist handlers have convinced you guys that it’s your Aryan race have always been the victims of racism, you guys are just a poorly educated bad joke.


Sorry pumpkin, the world has changed, and like the dinosaurs, you guys just can’t adapt and so you are in the process of going extinct, and it’s for the same reason as the dinosaurs went extinct, because you have a brain the size of a walnut.

"It NEVER happened" ..."It's not happening now." "Okay, it's happening; but just barely." "Okay it's happening, and it's widespread, but here's why it's a good thing."


Oh pulease, I know that story gave all you MAGA guys an erection but maybe take a cold shower or just go ahead and whack off about it, and then maybe you can get real about how irrelevant that story really is.


First, it occurred in 2023, and it was for a New Jersey election for Governor in 2024, it was not 2020 and not an election for President. NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that yes, around 6,600 non-citizens were accidentally registered to vote due to a technical error, only around 400 of those individuals actually voted, this isolated incident was inconsequential.


What we are talking about is the 2020 Presidential Election, clearly the most secure and legitimate election in US history. Of course, the two elections Trump won were valid, and the one he lost was “rigged”, and to prove it, Trump and his charlatans brought 62 lawsuits, all of which were dismissed because there was no evidence, and no merit to the lie they were perpetrating. All of Trump’s first-term attorneys general—Jeff Sessions (who Trump fired for disloyalty), William Barr, and acting AG Jeffrey Rosen—all rejected Trump’s dishonest claims of 2020 election fraud. Trump ordered William Barr to “produce” evidence of election fraud, he investigated and found no evidence on consequential voter fraud and then resigned under pressure from an enraged Trump. Acting AG Jeffrey Rosen was under intense pressure from Trump to subvert the results and he refused to deny our democratic process. Even his violent insurrection couldn’t subvert the election results, the simple undeniable fact is 2020 was a free, fair, and secure election, clearly the most legitimate election in US history as a response to the fact that Trump had been laying the groundwork for his autocratic challenge to our democratic for months prior to the election.


Trump and his minions launched a coordinated campaign to spread falsehoods about the security and accuracy of the election, they lied about the safety of voting machines, mail voting, foreign interference, and voter rolls. Despite six years of relentless lies and Presidential intimidation, no court has ever found those claims—or the election conspiracy theories they’re based on—to be true, and no audit has found a trace of widespread voter fraud. The only people that have been fooled by this lie are Trump's beloved "poorly educated".


Face it, this nonsense about fraud is just a contrived justification for Trump and his sycophant’s attack on democracy, you can make up reasons to validate your agenda, but in the end, you just prefer authoritarianism over democracy, you have chosen fascism over diversity.

The Bible is a good guide for both physical and spiritual health.


Emperor Menelik the Second established Ethiopia in 1896. He ate a few pages of the Bible whenever he felt sick because he believed it had the power to cure illness. In 1913 he suffered a stroke, so he ate the entire Book of Kings to cure the effects of his stroke. It caused a bowel obstruction that resulted in his death.


I think something important got lost in translation for Emperor Menelik the Second.

Re: your #31:
Did you mean by choice of spirit guide that it can be associated with an eclipse? I've never heard that, but, that's true of a lot of things for me. So much to learn! How are spirit guides and eclipses connected?


In most Native American traditions, the frog represents transformation and spiritual growth, as well as fecundity and prosperity. Presumably because the life cycle of a frog is a matter of profound metamorphosis (Tadpole to Frog is a stark transformation), and fecundity and prosperity because they can lay thousands of eggs. My heritage is Cherokee, (I’m a Lamanite) and for my people the frog is considered to represent more of a powerful celestial force than a personal spirit animal, and yes, it’s associated with eclipse. Cherokee tradition symbolically represents a solar or lunar eclipse as a giant frog in the sky (The Sun Eater) attempting to swallow the sun or moon. The frog then represents an encroaching disruption in the natural order and as associated need to restore balance, it typically entails a community response.


In any event, as I've only ever witnessed a partial eclipse, the frog was already chosen as my guide long before I witnessed the eclipse.


Understood, but a personal spirit animal and a universal celestial force can be seen as “polar opposites”; to say that “opposites” are “polar” is to say much more than they are opposed or separated, it is to say that they constitute a whole. There is a higher understanding that makes it evident that both conceptions are true, once this “higher logic” is realized, that they are one and the same.


Keep in mind, a spirit animal, or a celestial force in Native American spirituality, are not a matter of fixed meaning, they are more like pathways guiding you to find personal meaning. For me the owl, and for you the frog, they are telling us to find spiritual meaning by turning to the Kingdom of God that is within.

The closed greedy clam evolves and endures.


Nonsense, evolutionary progress has always been a matter of reaching out beyond the individual’s boundaries to set a more inclusive boundary, extending themselves by incorporating and aggregating has always been the engine of progress in evolutionary terms. Isolation (greed) is always an evolutionary dead end; and progress (altruism) is always a matter of participation in common goals. From the very beginning, this is basically how evolution has occurred, hydrogen atoms fuse into helium and then complex elements, to larger structures, molecules, crystals, and then organic molecules, evolutions is always fusing and growing to become more, large collections of organic molecules fuse into life in the form of single cells, procaryotes fused into eukaryotes, life was growing and incorporating others to become multicellular, primates become clans, groups, societies, and civilizations, it’s all one movement. We are continuous with everything that came before, in the end, we are a large, motile colony of respirating bacteria, operating a complex system of nuclei, microtubules, and neurons pursuing pleasure and sustenance, and right now, typing on a computer.


The open clam's empathy..
is devoured by natural entropy.


There is a reason that we are at our happiest when we feel we are part of something bigger, the effort we expend as part of a team is magnified, and the most satisfying goals we can accomplish are the common goals. We are at our best when we transcend the realm in which our own materiality is located and adopt a perspective that defines life as good in terms of the contribution made to others. I believe that when we transcend our own ego consciousness and extend our awareness and being to include the experience created in others by our effort, what makes us happy is alignment with the flow of life, and it is the same flow that single celled creatures aligned with to fuse into a greater being, a metazoan. We are participating in a continuing process that brought single separate cells together for the construction of procaryotes, eukaryotes, metazoans, hives, hills, colonies, cultures, and civilizations.


Just go with the flow man.

It's already illegal for foreigners to vote in American elections, and it's been proven conclusively that there was no foreigner voting in the 2020 election, that false claim is just an excuse for attacking the electoral process and engaging in voter suppression.

That's the most overused term lately, civic duty is slavery, working for a living is slavery, paying taxes is slavery, obeying the law is slavery, ad nauseum.


With some people, anything that makes them have to put down the Cheetos and get off the couch is slavery.
