There are enough “devil’s advocates” out there. Instead, be God’s advocate. #Bitcoin

What if I wanted to be shiva's advocate?

That’s more understandable

Interesting idea, how does this playout in your mind? Action steps?

Don’t fall into sophistry traps, arguing semantics and minutiae.

Focus on what is good, just, and true. Advocate in a straightforward fashion with clarity of mind and purpose.

Now what do you mean by 'semantics'?

Discussing well defined terms and speaking with a pattern language are some tools to help, as are the correct use of emojis. Discussion is an interesting form of communication, and some believe dialogue can not happen in written formats.

The ability to show that others were listening to what was being written is what is seperating dialogue from what we currently have. In a dialogue there are four parts - 1. The speaker, 2. The supporter (❤️), 3. The commenter, and 4. The silent audience whom the speaker can see is listening.

I proposed a zap of a single sat to be agreed upon as a pattern language for this, it would be seperate from a ❤️ comment and large zap - but I dont think anyone even saw that post🤦😂.

Or just be an advocate of your authentic self... a little of each! Gotta have a bit of fun hehehehe 🌛🌕🌜💋

Where does the idea of the authentic self originate for you? In the book "the art of possibility" by ben and ros zander, they define it as the central self.

To me, I AM the Universe, experiencing mySELF in human form... as a witch 🌛🌕🌜💋

Id recemmend listening to the book I mentioned, you may find it helpful on your witching journey and the possibilies your universe can manifest. The part of the book where they talk about the central self is inside the chapter of Rule #6: Dont take yourself so goddamn seriously 😁

I will indeed... my reading list is HUGE! Absofrikkinlutley regarding not taking your SELF (or life for that matter) to seriously... we need to play 🌛🌕🌜💋

I would recommend listening (especially if you like music) as the authors read and play during it. One of their practices is "being the board" which is like your idea of "being the universe" I think, but with defined terms so others can join in on the "game". If you have heard of Simon Sinek, the Art of possibility is the perfection of what he is trying to do (imo). Some of us on nostr would love to welcome others into these practices of possibility ##

Oh thanks for the heads up! Sounds good 👍...you can change the Universe phrase to meet you...

I AM the Universe, experiencing mySELF, in human form, as [insert own desirable character here] - have fun with it... we are all apples of the tree which is earth, the same but different expressions 🌛🌕🌜💋

...funnily enough... my new project has the by-line 'art of living' hahaha love those synchronicities 🌛🌕🌜💋

...like * wild card (joker/The Fool) you can be anything you damn well please 🌛🌕🌜💋
