🇷🇸 Imagine being a Roman Emperor and building one of the grandest, most fortified palaces in the entire empire... just for your mom. That is exactly what happened at Gamzigrad-Romuliana (Felix Romuliana) in eastern Serbia. Born in the 3rd century AD to a Roman herdsman and a barbarian mother who fled across the Danube, Gaius Valerius Galerius Maximianus started from the bottom. As a boy, he tended cattle, earning him the lifelong nickname "Armentarius" (the herdsman). But he fiercely rose through the military ranks to become a powerful Roman Emperor, ruling as one of the Tetrarchs. After a massive victory over the Sasanian Empire in 298 AD, Galerius decided to build a magnificent palace at his birthplace. He named it Felix Romuliana in honor of his mother, Romula, who was a priestess of a pagan cult. The complex spanned 10 acres, surrounded by a massive defensive wall with 20 towers. The interior was lavishly decorated with rare red porphyry stone and stunning floor mosaics, including famous depictions of Dionysus and a labyrinth. For over a century, modern historians and explorers were totally baffled by the ruins. Because of the imposing walls and numerous towers, they assumed Gamzigrad was just a giant Roman military camp. The mystery was finally solved in 1984 during excavations led by Serbian archaeologist Dragoslav Srejović. They unearthed a stone arch (an archivolt) with the words FELIX ROMULIANA carved into it, proving it was a lost imperial palace. The site is also home to a massive historical milestone. On the nearby Magura hill, archaeologists discovered two burial mounds. This marks the exact site where Galerius and his mother were cremated and symbolically elevated to the rank of gods. It was the very last time in the Roman world that an "elevation to godhood" ceremony took place. Today, Felix Romuliana is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2007, and one of the most spectacular late Roman ruins in Europe. #FelixRomuliana #RomanHistory #Gamzigrad #Serbia

@Electrarythm Jung did not relate this to someone who studied all the time. This is what you read into it. He said it's someone who avoids becoming an adult staying I potential. Knowledge acquisition is not staying in potential

In psychology, Carl Jung called this character the 'Puer Aeternus' or the Eternal Student. It describes someone who stays completely trapped in a state of adolescent preparation. They are always 'getting ready' for life, always researching, and always studying, but they never actually cross the finish line to commit to the real world.
Electra@Electrarythm

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

@TomMontalk then isn't Earth a hell realm for the most part, with webs of predation being a primary motor for biological evolution (besides the Aristotelian formal/final factors we've denied)? and that we've barely clawed our way out of the muck so far?

The spiritual war traces back to the conflict between spirit & matter. That is, between consciousness (dreamer) and the restrictive environment it projects (dream). Ultimately, between being & non-being. Or infinity times zero, which can take any value, i.e. all of manifested existence. Environments have hard rules encoded into them that force some nonzero level of limitation, compromise, consequences, irreversibilities, and scarcity. Technically that makes each environment a game board, and games enable competition. When faced with these restrictions, every sentient godspark incarnated in the “dream” (playing the game) has a choice in how much to honor or betray their intrinsic spiritual values (empathy, truth, love, justice, beauty, goodness). And any NPCs who are products of the environment, lacking a godspark from beyond, are naturally going to operate solely by their programming & the necessities of circumstance: the law of the jungle. So there are two types of predators: those who turn away from their own spiritual cores & internalize the ways/limitations of the environment (of non-being), and those who have no spiritual core & are simply products of the environment. When a civilization fails to develop spiritually, sinking deeper into matter (physics/etherics), it sees predation as logical, necessary, and justified. Nature rewards predation & symbiosis. The most intelligent predators set up symbiotic control systems, e.g. castes & farms. And so there exist predatory civilizations spanning space, time, and dimensions (internal degrees of freedom within the greater super-environment, of which our 3D linear spacetime is just one subset) who turn worlds into castes & farms. Earth is under threat from various such forces who are farming & terraforming our world for reasons of survival, power, economic & military leverage, and sadistic amusement. This includes NHIs like mantids, reptilians, discarnate demons, and a certain fraction of the human-looking alien types. Plus other NHI types. But since not all godsparks have lost their way, and not all are incarnated here, the other side of the equation is a nebula of positive beings who still maintain an affinity for love, truth, justice, etc. They exert an intelligent counter-pressure to the forces of occult predation. This constitutes a positive intervention. And so the result is a spiritual war that takes place within us, through us, by us, beyond us, and around us. At the level of the Absolute, this may simply be infinite consciousness exploring its own infinite potential. But here at the relative level, the battle and its consequences are real.

@Ljiljana1972 this is what "Balkan" really is. it lets some primitive, corrupt elements proliferate but it allows other aspects of life to breathe intuitively too.

I said many times that Serbia is authoritarian anarchy but anarchy part is crucial for life: it allows you e.g. to smoke in the office where smoking is banned & nobody reports you. So even if you live in 'democracy' or some such the key is to strengthen the anarchy part, ok?

@PaulSkallas eventually strict Catholic order/identity reasserted via Franciscans, Bosnian Church accommodated, monarchy & top nobility nearly all Catholic -> Bosnian Church -> back to Catholic @ the end.

@PaulSkallas dualist Bogomil theory was overhyped/ mostly fake. they were rural Christians inside a small & isolated catholic monastic order that was separated long enough to find doctrinal/hierarchical purity unnecessary. then hostile to Hungarian takeover ("Catholic" to them).

@Plemezulu9913 @Lillard1985 @DrizzyOnU @WarMonitors They were South Slavic rural christians in a generally Catholic monarchical-noble system (Krstjani/Bosanska Crkva wanting to be independent from Hungary & their bishopric). This is the story for most of Bosnia between Vrbas, Bosna, & Neretva. Hercegovina/Drina valley diff story.

@ill_Scholar Long story. Geographically, administratively, cultural-historically unique from Bosnia proper (Bosna&Vrbas rivers). Imagine Croatia came to be called Croatia&Dalmatia. something like "New England and Deep South" (if that was the entirety).

Wtf is a Herzegovina & why should I care? Why is it not just Bosnia? Is Herzegovina so special is deserves to be in the title of the country? Then why isn't it first? Does Bosnia not sufficiently describe Herzegovina? Why would a country have an AND in the title. If there are two distinct entities important enough to be included in the title of a country and distinct enough to have different names.... Then how are these two distinct entities so similar that one single country can contain them? Is there not a word to describe "Bosnia and Herzegovina" the country that could be one thing and not include an AND? Bosnia and Herzegovina is 9 syllables. That is too many syllables for a country name. Who do you think you are? I need less syllables. You are now just Bosnia and it is your fault. United States of America is also 9 syllables. No one calls it the full name. America. 4. The States. 2. The US. 3. But each of those shortened names still describe the entire country. They don't flippantly cross out HALF of the country (in the sense of the name containing 2 distinct entities) like BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. The Bosnians really played you guys, Herzegovinians.

@Nwa_FUTO @shedrinkswater Note I'm not suggesting it warrants a lack of respect or tenderness. But the species expected is not one that follows emotional and even provocative instability.

Emotionally intelligent men understand that women can move through emotional spirals, and they learn when to respond, stay still, and how to bring her out of it. Sometimes she creates a web inside her own mind, falls into it, struggles inside it, and in the process, begins pulling him in too. Most men after a point start recognising the frequent weather changes that happen within a woman’s emotional world. In the beginning, they get swept away by it. They take every shift as permanent and every reaction as truth. And because of that, many men mistakenly conclude that they do not want women at all. But later, if they are perceptive enough, they realise it was just a storm passing through her nervous system. The emotionally intelligent man observes, understands, holds his centre, and helps her return to herself.

@Pat_Stedman This is where a lot of relationships turn into endless frame arguments and eventual verbal abuse -- shadowing the less obvious reactive abuse that it goes along with. A fear of setting argument boundaries that make the disconnect worse, or end the relationship.

If this is happening to you as a man, you need to nip it in the bud. It's just an unacceptable way to live. Spoiled wives are like spoiled children. If you allow an attitude of ingratitude and entitlement to develop unchecked it will proliferate and spill into everything you do, not just the work trips. Leadership is fundamentally frame control. Unless you're gone so much you've basically abandoned her, you need to call it out. Stop taking her shit, create some deterrence, and be willing to fight. Better to do it now when you have a chance to turn the marriage around than later in divorce court.

The number of men I know who have to spend a week in the doghouse every time they go on a MANDATORY WORK TRIP is so baffling to me. Bro already feels bad enough that he has to leave, and then his wife does the “ok” text thing the whole time and just casts a dark shadow on his entire day/week. Brutal. Many of these wives love the lifestyle afforded by the salary that comes with the corporate title and role, the vacations and SUVs and girls trips and private schools, and then pout and mope around the house when Chad actually has to do his job. These dudes look absolutely deflated on the last day of travel knowing they have to go home and basically tiptoe around moody woman doing the silent treatment routine for the next three days. Conversely, the guys with grateful, supportive, joyful wives cannot wait to get home. An excellent, godly wife is an infinite force multiplier, in every area of life.
