They're building another Babel.
How is your ark coming along?
Noah's only endured because it was built by faith, and in faith. His soul was deep-rooted in God, so his preparations were effective, and he and all his house weathered the storm.
My point is that they're not coming merely for your money, your food, your online and offline liberty--they want your soul. That is their primary target, the rest are means to that end (like the fruit was for Adam and Eve).
So: how is your ark?
Build here first: [John 1](https://esv.org/John+1), and *then* grab your tools.

Might be helpful to clarify who “they” are. 🧐
Certainly. Happens all the time.
(As it should)
You can only get to the point to where you’re speaking truth truthfully only after you’ve consistently course corrected after years of speaking unintentional falsehood truthfully.
Not quite.
You just described someone speaking something false (not true) with a pure heart/motive (truthfully).
Sure.
I’m more so just making the point that you can’t speak something true without speaking it truthfully (of your own accord with a pure heart/motive)

It’s ironic, but even if their ideology were 100% true, the suppression of free speech would render the ideology untrue.
Something can be true, but if you can’t speak the thing truthfully then it becomes falsehood in the mouth of the speaker 🗣️
Oh wow. This is good 🫡
Thank you for the language and thought here! 🤝
We use our five senses to experience and make sense of the world around us. The information received via our senses must be, however, processed by our minds for us to be able to interpret the data. Thus, a sick, distorted mind would also result in sick, distorted interpretations of the world. A healthy, capable mind, on the other hand, is able to not only correctly interpret the data, but also to make connections between different types of data that the different senses relay. Hence the saying “mind over matter.”
The method of making those connections is often referred to as “intuition” or the “sixth sense.” From actual science, we know that by withdrawing one or more senses, we are able to increase the capabilities of the others. This is one of the tools of yoga - pratyahara. Now, the goal is not to withdraw all senses, forever, and to live in a deep, dark, quiet cave for the rest of our lives. But going into that cave, and staying there, from time to time, can be incredibly useful. Through that sixth sense is how you can really learn about yourself, and the world as we know it. Overwhelming those five senses can work in the exact opposite way, however, which is why I think cities as they exist today cannot really be the places for human flourishing.
Embrace the senses, but be wary of them. Train your sixth sense. Then, “mind over matter” can become “mind with the matter.”
