Nostr

Technically, that retarded version of Christianity was invented by the eastern Orthodox church, although they did call themselves "catholic" (and still do, when its not too confusing). Christianity existed for 300 years before those murdering statists got started with their "heresy" and "anathema" etc. But now there's a problem... What's the correct Christianity? How do you judge whether each declaration of anathema is valid? Who has time for all that?

Your last sentence is profound and true, and it takes a lot of courage to open that door. And self discipline. And patience.

Why don't you have a name? Or is my client being a turd? All I see is your npub string.

Odd. My handle is sister_sam.

The only way we can really know spiritual things IMHO is through honest deep enough spiritual practices and listening inside. I don't think analysis of doctrines and spiritual lines or that place in consciousness that does such can ever be enough. Spiritual things are at a deeper place than intellect. And I say that as a big head-tripper. 😄 OTOH I seem to have known some things or understood them since I was 8 or 9 years old. No idea how. Just have a knack.

Agreed. And premonition of many varieties are real. Idk what that means wrt God and spirituality. It might simply be a thing.

Oh! You're the Knox (spelling?) from Stargate SG1. That was a really good episode... After I searched your handle, it updated here. Nostr is weird.

Yeah, I love the Nox. Spiritual, grounded, their world is a paradise, nothing to proof and yet so ultra high tech it is like magic. Checks all my boxes.

Without analysis, how do you come to truth?

Comte de Sats Germain 11mo ago

First step is to realize that you can never reach the truth on your own. Or reality. That's not to say it doesn't exist, and it doesn't mean its subjective. Its just out of reach. There's only one chance of reaching it, and that's if it helps you. That's all just logic and rationality. The spiritual stuff happens when it actually does reach you.
