100% mind exhaustion

What now? 😅

best way to calm mind is exhaust body

Dream Keeper is very clearly inspired by Narnia. Her writing is more fast paced and cinematic than Lewis' but seems very much appropriate for the YA audience. Every person in the target age range (9–14) that I have given a copy to loves it.

Hey there! How do these books hold up when compared to, say, The chronicles of Narnia or The wingfeather saga?

Just asking 'cause they sound pretty interesting.

What the fuck is this thing? I mute one and two more pop up.

Hello everyone! This is my first post! So excited to be here!!

The question, however sincere, arises from an erroneous eschatological reading of Revelation. Buying and selling, as well as the larger theme of being marked, is used throughout Revelation in connection with worship (v. 3:18, 5:9–10, 7:3–4, 13:16–17, 18:11–13). The mark of the beast is contrasted by the seal of God on the forehead. There is a lot more here to unpack but ultimately it is all making a spiritual point rather than painting a doomer end times situation.

Everyone who asks the question about bitcoin and the mark of the beast will require the dignity of a tailored response. Like most questions, there is always more behind what the person is asking on the surface. So the theological context above is mostly for you to consider rather than providing that as some sort of stock answer.

I might start by asking what the person means and what the concerns are. Depending on the openness of the person (if they are asking honestly rather than dismissively) I would walk them through the properties of bitcoin (decentralization, honest, auditable, unmanipulatable, etc) and explain that this would be the antithesis of any "mark of the beast" currency. This might give you an opportunity to contrast it with a CBDC (which has been mentioned already by others here). If I were of the theological persuasion to interpret Revelation as talking about a literal mark of the beast currency or technology, I would be more concerned about a CBDC.

What I don't get is how being in-tune with the wife's cycle could be anything but sane.

Valley of Vision and Piercing Heaven are both comoilations of Puritan prayers. Cloud of Witnesses spans different periods of Christendom.

Wow thank you. I'm not sure I can afford all of them but will dig a bit more to see which one seems like it would work for me. Not heard of any of them. Thanks

Just got my copy of Dreamkeeper Saga, thanks @Jordan Eskovitz!

Almost bought this just for the cover.

Anyone got any prayer book recommendations tho? #asknostr

Thinking from first principles is hard. Not the logic, but the conclusions. If they're against the main narrative, you are going to be called a conspiracy theorist or weirdo or wack job. The social isolation and peer disapproval is the hardest part.

This is where you need to let go of that desire to fit in and be well thought of by the normies. It's hard work, but worth it for the intellectual freedom.
