2/2: #bitcoin.
Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. It is not quite laziness, but missing the point entirely! There are some here who get the point, but others, just meme, and nonsense. Constantly, day in, day out. If not yelling at fiat, and a broken system. A man from Tanzania created artwork/writing very moving a day or two ago, and that created transaction with no financial institutions involved. A few months back, I saw someone selling honey, but at a market. How can Damus be used by farmers in places like El-Salvador? The new AI bot charges what? A hundred days per image rendered? Creativity, and thus transact freely on these new systems. Not bark, and blame. Move money, but not act so recklessly to a vision so pure. Where are those creating transactions on here? The static nature is really disheartening, if not boring! If this is not social media, why are the posts 85% that, and 15% bitcoin material? Others might have ideas, and since the money is invested, which is great, they’re pushed to BORROWING sats, and… the rest of the “bitcoiners,” rush to threaten unfollowing them! What nonsense! Keep the flow going. What did Elvis sing? A little less conversation, and more action! nostr:note1heevzfdjqnh99pc68czke5090mdy6ly00wyer4z9ltgee57mmxcquvuezx
1/2: Freedom tech.
The problem is not new systems, but old ways dressed anew! Freedom is not a shortcut. That is greatly misunderstood. Aligning actions with a clear conscience, and righteousness, rather, is a great goal. How can the content be against the ultimate goal? If the old succeed in filth, the new must break away, and strive to go further, and do what the former can not. Lest, progress is about 18 steps forward, and 27 behind! Censorship free doesn’t mean a bubble within reality. Open protocols, and such are progressive, but the content, intent, and application are lacking. More on that in 2/2.
There is no peace, in war. Yet, if God gives Ishmaelites victory over Israelites, now, there is a reason, but the stones will turn, as they always do. nostr:note1uljljp4xpe860ugd4fpcvxkk8kwfutxsv9ujg0f7nglep8pctm8qlmhr6r
Sin, is sin. There is no reward for it. Why is that?”The wages of sin…” Death is nothingness. Even the inanimate, exists. Your imagination of nothingness, as a reader of these words, is wrong in this case. Ceasing to exist in any way: when God ends something, it’s gone. (The highest of man’s intelligence, is foolishness to God.) Think beyond: man attaches meaning where it doesn’t exist; a dead flower creates a living one, taking up that space where nothing is, but was. That isn’t death. Yet, sin cycles time in a weird way. It ages man. After wrong happens, man forgives himself, and the only way forward, is carrying on. Before circling a ball of deep thinking, cycling back to the start of this. Seeking good, only exemplifies, and brings out sin. Isn’t that curious? Apostle Paul said: “Sin we not more, to find light?” That’s where Satan brings in the lie. Good isn’t bad. A sin, is a sin. To understand… In practice, think about your pet. Rewards in treats, are for gradual good behavior, and tricks, for the bad. Let’s not mix up the two.
The point about surveillance, yesterday, continued, is that cameras are the least of the concern, when even men can do it without them. In the hierarchy of natural, to supernatural, good, and bad, from the lowest, all the way to The Highest: God of Gods, an inward need of meditation comes to play: not just after going home from work/anywhere, before/after sleep, but in every moment. This is the alertness referred to in the Bible, against a foe who works when we aren’t aware of it: back to post one, the fight against the invisible, where awareness of sin most times comes after it happens.
The ultimate battle in life, after “conquering childhood,” is the battle between good, and evil. Sometimes one wins, and the other loses. The point is, do not give up, or grow weary of doing good. It is in the weakest moments that God fights for us, and also the devil shouts dishearteningly at us, to disarm us, as believers fighting a battle within a permanent curse. Words to all are to myself, too!
Women are a blessing, and a good wife is the crown of her husband. However, they are not to be told everything. One is to be clever, with these crafty individuals. They want control, and use the most loving means, because the intention is good, but sometimes the way, shortsighted. Betrayal comes over, as emotion takes over. Remember Eve? What of Rebekah inducing Jacob to lie to the father, to receive a blessing? Delilah’s insistence, like the annoying nagging woman compared to a dripping rain, in The Book of Proverbs, eventually took Samson’s power! Be wise men, don’t react with emotion, do not use battery, or fear, lovingly treat her, have eyes only for her, and remember who’s the boss!
The standard of beauty among humans is something. Native plants, including state flowers, that have been there since forever, are less valued over “ornamental pieces.” Most, like flowers, are seen as weeds, yet never succumb to diseases, fire or disasters, and are loved by pollinators!
To add to my last post, I mean, isn’t it laughable? Do some of the artists listen to themselves, or people sharing on social media platforms read their words? Activists too. How can one fight fire with gasoline? Ridiculing Elon on here, and world leaders by name. How stupid! Focus, people, focus.
After closing the eyelids to sleep at night, who else is there to open them, unless one is dead, or unconscious? Even Siamese twins have to be surgically worked on, to live. A true believer never would blame others for the world issues, unless they are venting out, & unknowingly guilty of their own weaknesses. One once said that when they point at others, three fingers face them. There is no power in “we,” unless it’s Holy Spirited, (negative) emotion free movements. Satan’s ploy is to divide, and use people as pawns to fight themselves, when the battle is between him and God. Each one has to fight to weaken this evil enemy by all means! Power and wealth never are enough, just like appetite. One cannot serve two masters, either God, or money; and even #bitcoin shouldn’t be idolized, but used as described in the white-paper, and that’s it. It’s easy to see what pushes/inspires some people on here, but most are gradually pulling others to the light. Everything done in darkness come to light, in the sense that #nostr isn’t some sort of cloak, and the freedom of censorship seen as a joke to the ones ridiculed/attacked by it, if the energy isn’t right. Politicians, and what have you. People think of the CIA, and forget other countries have advanced, and well educated hackers. What of regulators like the world bank? Don’t mean to sound like a critic, but post like you are being watched, because the odds are, you are. On earth, and beyond. It rings like a ripple. The advantage is that correct approaches gets results. Basically, the opposite of anything Satan would do.
Peace of mind, is a great sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in one. It isn’t that one is silent outwards, but “battling demons,” on the inside. Perspective is everything. I am not a teacher, but a student of every moment, and it’s invigorating to read once own words and learn from them too. How does one observe their conduct? Seeing the world from a Biblical perspective, and memorizing The Fruits of The Spirit, comparing them with one’s own conduct. Gentleness, replacing aggressiveness, etcetera. Learning, is an inward process, spreading out. It’s funny when you experience life. Like this one quote I came across said that “he who looks outside fantasizes, but inside, creates.” Let us not give up, or be silent, brothers/sisters. Philosophy can explain a lot, but everything done without God is like a water pitcher with holes in it.
America’s first language is English, and Hispanic/Mexican is the second. Just like English is the first and Swahili the other, in most African countries. Sometimes, it’s the other way around. What am I saying? The American border is invincible, and “immigrants,” can only exist in countries without similar names/neighbors. Like USA to Canada, for example. These two continent’s leaders must act together to fix the issues in both Americas, and every American should learn how to speak their secondary tongue.
Proverbs is a honeypot of deep words, and the basic key, is that anything done without God fails. Like love, is the secret ingredient/spice of life. On that note, anything else after these two, is from the devil. Simple life secret. Flows/ties in with the two tips from yesterday’s sermon on who is the gatekeeper of your mind, and where the battlefield of good, and evil happens. nostr:note1cqvums5t6auax0wp828n72wg0y6sggakcrhcwd3ksstmzhgvfxesqqcy5d
Wisdom, there before everything else, as God created the world, hates two things. Pride, and evil.
Note: Buddhists do get a gist of it, yet, like a balloon, freedom without centering, leads to it floating away, popping, dying. There has to be a grounding in someone Higher than man, lest everything goes - chaos, which sadly never creates, but only becomes order, with hard work, and discipline. Jesus Christ was not pro-censorship, lest He would’ve kept His mouth silent about matters. There are two stupid/dumb ways of self-censorship: one, like Socrates, pressured up, to say that they know nothing. What of experience, and revelations? The other, is to please people, or fit in with the crowd/approval. nostr:note125lw5zx90pkr84e6c540p7rkndjjjt7upg4su08k4quegu2x6e0s737u95
This is the nature of God. Buddhists come close to it, but get it wrong, I’m calling it a blind energy. It’s very hard to describe these things unless you understand and go through them/experience. It’s like a moving vehicle. A rolling stone gathers no moss, and even ‘belief,’ is not a noun set in stone. It is constant evolution, and guards life. There is no going back, forever in motion. nostr:note1p2r0k33t67rfvcxwxwdktr7hueu2gvhlknnvz2dymjum9kmn99pqrcr4wy
There is no permanence in life. That is, many settle for something that cannot be grasped/clung on to. Including religion, for spiritual warfare is endless. It is like a phone call, and one hangs up after getting/giving the message. Always, there is a comfort in naming, labeling, or sticking to temporary conditions, leaving some, or most of us living in “permanent” shells of self-creation. Time is a verb, not a noun, metaphorically. Doing, kills fear. Nature gets it. Lao Tzu got it right, hundreds of years ago. This isn’t about patience as a noun, too. It is not until that bridge is crossed, that even in retrospect, anxiety/worry disappears, gone, behind us. Nouns slowly build imaginary warfare weaponry/attire around humans, and lull us into believing anything exists. It just is. Lest the battle is symbolic, and not actionable.
