Atlantis: The Lost Empire and the Area Zero Connection Some of you may have heard of a connection between Atlantis the Lost Empire and the story of Area Zero in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Check out this thread for some fascinating key parallels!

@artaraya @AgainstAtheismX He also said this. Tertullian was one of the first heretics to introduce the unchristian Platonic idea of the Trinity, and was reprimanded by the majority of brethren for it. You'd have to label the majority of ancient Christians heretics by your modern traditions and doctrines.

@AgainstAtheismX Tertullian— The first to use the Latin term trinitas ("Trinity"), described one God in three persons sharing one substance, using analogies like a root, stem, and fruit to illustrate unity with distinction.

Christians How would you describe the Trinity to a non-believer?

@David_Kicinski @AgainstAtheismX That’s modalism lol.

@AgainstAtheismX I always use the analogy of the egg: one egg, three parts (shell, yolk, white). However, even the best analogy can't fully describe the Trinity. I think humans simply can't fully comprehend it.

@AgainstAtheismX As a post-Apostolic appropriation of Platonic philosophy. That’s if I wanted to be honest with them and the established history of the doctrine. If I wanted to be dishonest, I’d tell them that it’s all there in scripture and all of God’s servants knowingly worshipped a Trinity.

@__shesakilla The same as the one in the photo. Pink outer, white flesh. Absolutely zero flavour. Not even sweet at all. Just kind of a gritty texture.

What kind of dragon fruits have you been eating? cause i’m from Malaysia and the dragon fruits here are as sweet as honey. If it tastes like nothing, it’s probably not ripe and it uncommon where I’m from

@New_Dimez @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz No idea. Maybe they had second thoughts lol.

@CrystalKalos @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz Why are all the replies deleted

pours so much energy into looking the part and then goes on to give nothing

@og_Stefan_H @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz It’s possible! I’ve had them from markets and straight off the plant. Both were thoroughly underwhelming. It was like kiwi fruit, but even worse.

@CrystalKalos @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz Unripe?

@shenanigan_man @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz Never been to America.

@CrystalKalos @Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz You eat gay American kind, not good kind

@Hmmdefinitely @Dusterz It tastes like nothing.

@Dusterz I CANT STAND DRAGONFRUIT SLANDER, IT ACTUALLY TASTES REALLY GOOD FUCK YOU

@Dusterz Most flavourless fruit I’ve ever tried. I don’t understand the hype.

@arieljalali @bryan_johnson It’s hard-wired in us. We were designed for connection. It only makes sense if we come from a Source that that Source would want us to benefit from knowing it.

@CrystalKalos @bryan_johnson Thank you for this - makes sense and resonates I happen to have faith that the reality / simulation / matrix has a coder and a purpose but even if I didn’t and was an existentialist or some other philosophical explorer, I’d be trying to understand and connect with source

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

@arieljalali @bryan_johnson I think it’s about a recognition that meaning does exist. Most of us have been raised in a secularist worldview, even those of us who were raised with religion. It tempers the wonder and the magnitude of meaning of the transcendent. Re-recognising the transcendent is liberating.

@bryan_johnson Is life in this dimension and reality so unbearable or boring that you have to keep escaping by micro suicide? You can’t live there so what does a pledge of allegiance to an existence you keep trying to escape with drugs mean? Asked with genuine respect and confusion

If WiWa is codenamed Gaia and the DLC might be codenamed Zeus, then it's possible that the Seed Pokémon will turn into a World Tree, thus fulfilling the Earth > Heaven part of Distillation, with its Roots reaching into the Underworld and its Branches into the Heavens in the DLC.

@theralkia It would be better if everyone believed in love.

Imagine what the world would look like if everyone believed in karma

@gangatoday1 @Argonian_John I really worry about people seeking to awaken these abilities for this exact reason. But it makes me wonder, after listening to The Telepathy Tapes, why are all these non-verbal autistic kids suffering this through no fault of their own?

I don't think this to be true. I believe anyone can see and be approached by "evil", and none (except Jesus?) are pure holy good beings. We might have some default protection, but that protection can be lessened simply by being imperfect individuals. For example, one UT revealed to me an incredible insight as I was trying to get rid of the Paranormals from my surroundings. It let me know, that as long as I allowed those Paranormals an audience and kept them company. I too would suffer every curse they were given by God. I didn't achieve any semblance of stability in my life until I realized that. It took a lot of time to remove them from the picture. That is why I will never go back to that lifestyle or engagement. Even if it means I have to sacrifice any PSI functionality. It's not worth it, and it will never be worth it. ----------- It is one of the main reasons why I hold the NHI (who opened the floodgates) and the Paranormals with great contempt. Even though I didn't go looking for the NHI nor the Paranormals who gathered around to watch this spectacle, it all came about through that activity that was forced upon me. If I had a day with my 5 years old self, I would lay the castigating smackdown of a lifetime on my younger ears/brain. I would answer every question my younger self had and absolutely force my younger self to cut off any ties with the NHI or Paranormals. I would tell my younger self to lean on God and the [good] UT who were silently watching that abnormal fiasco to intervene on my younger self's behalf and drive them away.

The following scenes (even if Sci Fi/Horror) are extremely accurate and reflective of actual reality. If you die and decide to stick around, "They" will be waiting for you. If you don't ascend, they will eventually find you one way or the other.

Sands could work well conceptually for at least three reasons (apart from sounding good): it matches the beach motif, it relates to time and eternity (the “sands of time”), and it relates to the third aspect of Land, alongside Sea (Waves) and Sky (Winds).

For some reason, the only thing I can think of that could match would be Sands. Which is weird, because in my head, I’ve been anticipating something volcanic. My least favourite is Storms, but only because it should thematically tie in with Winds (looking at ancient mythologies).

Time we started speculating for a potential one or two part DLC for Winds and Waves. I wanna hear your thoughts on potential names! Sword and Shield had Armor and Crown, Scarlet and Violet had Teal and Indigo. What would match with Winds and Waves? 🤔

@Yoriden150 Oh, that’s actually genius.

And in case Zamazenta being "the magenta" doesn't make sense- imagine he just raced by like a blur, because that's the actual logic behind their names.

Fun fact, this is why Eternatus is blue.

@GregTrayling @sw_rahasya @PhysInHistory @grok You can read his work here. newtonproject.ox.ac.uk

@CrystalKalos @sw_rahasya @PhysInHistory I'm curious now. @Grok Issac Newton wrote several volumes on theology after his foundational work in physics. I understand these were not well received. Can you summarize the basics of his writings along these lines?

Newton spent more time writing about alchemy and theology than about physics or mathematics.
