I think your powers of observation are serving you well and I generally agree with your assessment.

I've moved to the pantheistic model of God and that has been helpful for my understanding. Way fewer things conflict with that model.

To find truth one must be where you are: willing to let go of any given thing that you were taught in your past.

That doesn't mean you must let go of everything you were taught in the past...just that you must be willing to let any of it go, as it could be false or distorted to some degree.

You are not alone in your thoughts. Those thoughts are what has driven my research.

pantheistic usually works with the big 4. I'm hardly qualified to say so though

I'm curious what I said that made you qualify your agreement by saying "generally "

Certainty no offense taken, just curious.

I have a lot of conflicting ideas that dont square. Thats part of the problem.

My use of "generally" is meant to allow room for the unknown.

What you said carries meaning that derives from your life experiences which I am not privy to in their totality.

As such, my use of "generally" is intended to avoid making any potentially false claims that I fully understand your position.

I may very well totally understand your position but I probably wouldn't feel comfortable claiming that unless we've had a lot more opportunity to converse.

I look forward to hearing more. Your comments definitely resonate

Thank you. Feedback like that is good motivation for me.

I don't know how much of my content you've already consumed, but if you haven't gone through the stuff in my profile yet, there's over 8 hours worth of audio/video content in those links, not counting the Flight Club recordings available on Clubhouse. Plans to work on pivoting the study group recording to podcasts over the cold season too. First I'm going to get a website up though.

As a glimpse of what is in the pipeline for future release, I'm up over 130 pages of material that should feed the book I'm writing. The book is potentially closer to being done than even I realize.

I'll definitely take a look at that when time allows.

I'm homeschooling a couple of kiddos

Perfect. If you're interested in my content and you're a homeschooler, Once Bitten #444 has a significant amount of content on my background in education, particularly math and critical thinking education.

I've done home schooling consults, in home tutoring, online tutoring, and tutoring at centralized learning centers, similar to schools but supplemental to school.

My students fared very well in annual math and critical thinking test competitions, earning more, better medals each year and outperforming national and international averages in increasing margins each year.

Guess what? I looked that episode up and apparently I litestend to it at some point. Ha!

I'll take another look today!
