GM Nostr ☕️

My story —

Grew up in a Catholic family. Went to mass every Sunday. Believed in God as it was portrayed by the Church.

As a teenager, I began questioning religious dogma, and came to the conclusion that it’s all nonsense. There is no God. There is no afterlife. Credulous people are simply engaging in wishful thinking, as a way of coping for their inevitable death. I became a staunch atheist, and scoffed at religious people all through University.

As an adult, I started exploring Eastern philosophy and religions, starting with the Bhagavad Gita. This led me to the works of Alan Watts. I realized I was missing half the picture. God needn’t be thought of as some external ruler pulling the strings from afar. God is better thought of as the divine essence that dwells within every being and non-being. In this sense, it’s true that you cannot die, because “you” are everywhere and everything. In the words of Alan Watts, “You are IT” aka “Tat Tvam Asi.”

At the same time as I was reading Alan Watts, I had a series of profound religious experiences of my own, wherein I experienced the oneness of being firsthand, which eviscerated any strains of atheism or alienation from existence itself altogether.

This search for the Truth continued, and is what has led me to #Bitcoin.

So if you are reading this, and are an atheist, all I can say is that you are on the right path — and that it’s good to question every assumption — but you are not there yet. Keep searching. nostr:note1kddrhz9hg25tzmyx6dz9903pv252ga83un8jqjl9xpqg6kkcqneskc84tq

Vibrations are so high on nostr.

I follow 1200+ accounts and my feed always leaves me feeling in a good mood.

Maybe I live in an echo chamber but everyone I follow is in good spirits.

Amen to that!

I will try to make a philosophers stone according to Thebookofaquarius.com

Anybody got some advice?

Some of my easy #Nostr hacks 👨‍💻

- set-up your profile bio, including a profile pic, bitcoin lightning address and a NIP05 identifier

- keep your bio short, clean and informative

Does anyone else find it kind of senseless and ironic the # of people trying to engagement farm on Twitter by complaining about Twitter or X?

Doesn’t that make it stronger?

Reminds me of all the people complaining about inflation, governments, or control while primarily saving in fiat and ignoring #Bitcoin.

I owe Twitter a lot but it’s time to spend more time on the only bird app left.

Primal for iOS is awesome.

Between Twitter moving to a dystopian hell-hole with the X re-brand or everyone talking about World Coin, I just can't do it today.

I need to be on Nostr WAY more often. Sorry to bring it up here...

I have not read any of the RA stuff. In general I am highly skeptical of any of these “ascended masters” stuff or any channelers.

God is one this I know. Islam makes it clear and defends that above all else which I respect

Ok, i see it is listed as a source for the video. Just learned about it past week so pretty enthousiastic about it 😁❤️

Do you think the teachings of the Ra material: the law of one are thruthful?
