Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love.

If reality is closed, everything is optimization inside the system. If reality is open, alignment with what’s beyond the system matters more than control within it.

A desire of knowledge is natural to the mind of man: and nothing discovers the true quality and disposition of the mind more than the particular kind of knowledge it is most fond of. Thus we see that low and little minds are most delighted with the knowledge of trifles; as in children: an indolent mind, with that which serves only for amusement, or the entertainment of the fancy: a curious mind is best pleased with facts: a judicious penetrating mind, with demonstration and mathematical science: a worldly mind esteems no knowledge like that of the world: but a wise and pious man, before all other kinds of knowledge, prefers that of God and his own soul.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:18-19

@tkisrage nothing new under the sun, those who remember know

anyone else feel like humanity is in limbo right now and nobody really knows what direction to take this thing?

@SiddhiGal yes, perfect love casts out fear

@josec_3 and Faith rewires your whole system

fear narrows you, it activates survival circuits: protect, control, and withdraw trust expands you, it activates bonding circuits: connect, create, and explore so your perception, decisions, and even time horizon change depending on which one subconsciously organizes your life

i’m going to teach her everything btw

Every moment she starts on the longest journeys, and every moment reaches her goal Goethe

For those of us who do dream of future events, and record or communicate them before the event, giving us veridical evidence that we are interpreting timelines correctly; confronting familiar ideas that fit within linear time and consciousness can be an incredibly difficult realization to face. It causes multiple questions without answers, life becomes a lonely road to travel, where some things seem futile. Nevertheless, I believe a better future awaits.

@GENIC0N :,)

Being human is all about cleaning winter's dead leaves from your grandfather's grave knowing you have zero control over whether anyone will do the same honor for you and continuing anyway
