  1. How should Christians address evil?

    I guess sea creatures and ocean dwellers were spared?

  3. Harvest Moon

    Get your crops in. The first of three consecutive Super Moons, this one is the biggest and brightest. Don't wait till the night of the Harvest Moon to check out the skies though, Sunday October 5 will have Saturn underneath the rising moon. This is from North American POV. Then, on the night of the full moon proper, shooting stars will add to the celebration. So, get your wishes ready and take in the spectacle. Qigong should be interesting. Meditation, πŸ‘
  4. How should Christians address evil?

    Let's look at John Wick. "John Wick is often described as a "lone wolf" due to his solitary nature and immense combat skill, reminiscent of classic Westerns, but this is a simplification of his character. While he acts independently in much of his fighting, he actively relies on and builds a network of loyal friends, enemies, and even former adversaries who provide him with crucial support, weapons, and strategic assistance, demonstrating that relationships are a core element of his success." The Powers that ought not be promote the Lone Wolf concept to encourage a mentality of Trust No One. They have emphasized for decades that defending against Lone Wolves is highly challenging for them. If defending against Lone Wolves is difficult for those in power, confronting well-coordinated networks would be even more challenging for them. In recent years, these Powers have revealed their true intentions, notably while enforcing mask mandates. (Ironically, they removed their masks of anonymity) This may have been an attempt to diminish individuality and lead us into conformity, as symbolized by the phrase: "Well trodden corridors into the valley of steel." There is a group whose symbol is a Wolf in Sheep's clothing. This group includes several sub-groups, all of which are widely recognized and are currently very active.

    Let’s look at The Flood, and every culture from every corner of Earth acknowledges this event. The animals were loaded two by two onto some vessel, and while they were on board, physically, at least, perhaps not morally. It rained forty days and forty nights, and it must have been torrential and forcefully falling rain in buckets and barrels. The Animals were well aware of what was going on. Every creature they knew and loved, everything they knew and loved, their entire world was being forcefully and violently drowned. How Traumatic is that? In the immediate aftermath of that, these terrorized creatures see a Rainbow for the first time and are provided with its intended message: that God would never destroy Earth again by water. That is one helluva caveat, eh? I think it can be just as easily viewed as a looming threat, Promise.

    That is a fine looking set. It displays mucho character.
  8. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    TDB has always had good music. And those that were lucky enough to stumble onto the right post at the right time can possibly fly. Once the NSA started archiving every keystroke, those posts ceased. If not fly like a bird, at least swing from tree to tree like certain primates Or hop mountain to mountain, whatever seems useful.
  9. Spiritual warfare

    We shouldn't doubt the narrator because of the fact that Paul Morphy passed on in 1884, should we? Still, it's a good story.
  10. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Urgent update on the imminent demise of TDB

    Spiritual based threads are fine in General Discussion. It's up to You Surya, If you want the thread in General, Rabbit Hole, or Personal Practice. There are advantages and disadvantages with each section. ---Mod

    Pawns are the soul.
  13. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Don't do it, it's a trap. Actually the commune is a den of short face bears waking up from a long hibernation, hungry and grouchy. And a snickers bar isn't going to mellow them out
  14. I have reason to believe that

    Do you feel/think that religion helps one break from the simulation? or keeps one in the simulation? or has no affect one way or the other?

  19. Autumnal Equinox

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allhallowtide The Irish celebrate it on April 20. Well, they are all about the Green, I reckon. I've been leaning on the Mexico version the past few years; The Day of the Dead. Presented for ya'lls entertainment
  20. The end of the world

    of all the threads, i wandered onto this one,, a sigh is just a sigh,, I'll drop the deed and loose the chain, And watch the stage, sun after rain. The game we play on borrowed ground, Where every laugh and tear is found. We are the signal and the noise, A universe of single joys. A cautious heart the cold will keep, A loving one awakes from sleep. So let me feel the fire's breath, The winter's quiet, taste of death. It's etched in dust upon the shelf, And in the quiet of our self. This is the call, the rise, the fall, The fragile hope we hold through all. Spinning in the moon's pale light, Oh, isn't this a glorious night?
  21. The end of the world

    the end of the world, again, so soon? I am kinda proud to say that "i" survived december 21, 2012. so many among us, did not. "common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little & that true reality is only in dreams" ---a loose paraphrase translated from original French, mid-19th century.

    We are in a simulation, but that is about to change.

    Right, less winter prep to be done in California; say around Lone Pine....
