You wage a war, to win, you do not wage a war to lose, or there is no point in doing that in the first place.

A true friend warns of unseen pitfalls. It is not in the best interest to hide the truth, just to be agreed with, if you can see a different, or overlooked perspective. Mediation is often very hard, but if the intention is genuine, it succeeds. Remember: once, “the whole earth had one language and the same words.”

The moment I realized that God was speaking to me through the dead Alan Watts, I stopped listening to him. Did you know that he was a Christian pastor before the journey into space? If you listen closely, he doesn’t lose touch with Christianity, and faith. Once, I was smoking, back when I was in space, and in that moment, he reprimanded me, for “rascality,” and at another time: “I always wait to see what you will do next…” God is everything in everything, and there’s no way to escape that fact. It’s just a loop, and almost, if not every man, is trying to justify, and look for ways to cheat Him.

As #nostrasia draws closer, my final critique, on top of the earlier post, with a trigger warning, is here. There are some people who mislead others, like Michael Saylor, celebrating #bitcoin at $34,000/-. Follow the example of the silent ones, who don’t do such material things. Meanwhile, countries whose leaders misjudge bitcoin, are hiking taxes, and levied to unseen levels, to pay off foreign debts (e.g. Europe/Kenya/India, to China), and others, domestic (like USA), on top of international ones! Inflation. I know your pain, as the general #nostr community, is mostly resolved by escaping through (dark) humor, sarcasm, etcetera, yet, why not use those smart brains to prove people like Krugman (see attachment), wrong, as opposed to silencing unnecessary people/distractions, like Craig Wright? Tell me, would a user of Damus, and other Nostr/#snort family platforms not believe Paul’s words, with the posts made on there? The movement shouldn’t incline to fear, and conspiracy against truth! How would one of the speakers next week/this week in Japan answer that question, or resolve such a statement from an economist? What of other problems, and issues concerning the leading digital currency? What of decapitating upcoming alt-coins? Think of such, and God bless you all!

The standard versions translations, including Swahili, directly translate it as “The LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is flesh.” So, since man didn’t eat of the tree of the fruit of life to live forever, his lifespan was greatly decreased, as according to the first translation, God’s Spirit will not abide forever in man, for God cannot strive with flesh.

In Genesis chapter 6, after the watchers/nephilim had intercourse with the earthly women, and God was displeased with humans a second time, The LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh.” It’s freeing to feel the Spirit in a body, momentarily, and surely hope the feeling lasts forever, so in everything I do, it’s in God’s glory! Reminder to remember!

God’s reprimanding brings perfection, it makes us stronger. Look at the trees, or plants, in a frost period, the submissive ones release their leaves, or sleep, i.e., ‘die,’ but resistance only brings pain. Funny how God allows us through freewill, to fall into traps of our own makings, leading to destruction. Isn’t that love? If it isn’t, consider the coldest winter days. The place I live at, currently, experienced an early frost, and actually triggered a freeze warning, which means many plants will die. However, below freezing temperatures are followed by afternoons nearing 60°F! An attitude of positivity, without grumbling, sustains the plants, softens the resistant, and strengthens the submissive.

Learning to approach people I’ve failed, in some way, and apologizing, before it’s too late, and unhealed emotions become loose demons/spirits floating out there, spreading. Did that to some lady/husband whose son I traumatized, and to another lady I may have offended. It’s a nice feeling, and environment, church, and the lessons! Community in general. Broken people seeking solutions, and unity. We are #bettertogether. Better still, released hurt, anger, emotion, is a salve to the soul.

I urge at least some, if not all of the speakers at #nostrasia, read these, and more issues facing bitcoin, since it’s inception, and come up with some solutions, lest it’s just another #bitcoin meetup! View quoted note →

Apart from freedom, without the proponents getting offended, how will #nostrasia help increase circulation/adoption, answer all the questions including carbon dioxide increase, banning in countries (perhaps ways it won’t compete with the existing currencies), curbing illegal use, taxes, Paul Krugman, and other economics’ questions? What of price, and bubble comparisons? What if someone wondered about its growth based on other currencies? How can it be used not as a weapon, or activist tool, but a simple barter trade item, as it is. You see, communication is very important, without getting defensive, or emotional. There’s lots of issues that need answers, and they’re all in the Wikipedia webpage, describing bitcoin. It also could help, to simplify #bitcoin as a secure digital currency, on a blockchain, without the rest of the details. Nodes, 21 million units, hash-rates, and more are not only unnecessarily complicated, but also, beyond the point. Yes, it is secure, cannot be taken down, and more, but, what of the elephant (s) in the room? Why does no one talk about these issues, or how to tackle the criticism on the website? Why is the price increase so exhilarating, if it goes beyond the purpose of weaponization? It’s hard to fully support what one does not understand.

NB: The following post may trigger some.

I’d simply do it, and replace someone with another, out of the many here, with even better content, but, permit me to explain the concept, which is very simple. Communities are created, and withheld, by standards. Sure, it’s easy to justify it with: “what defiles you comes from inside,” yet… birds of a feather float together, and if my reactions are leaning on the negative, coming from the lower self, it creates a similar flow. If it doesn’t come out of you, it doesn’t defile, but become something else, perhaps a lesson. It’s not necessarily ‘control,’ but “self-control.” We’d all be dead, if mountains didn’t practice that which they’re taught to. Of course, (self)-expression is awesome, but someone said that: “life is a balancing act.” View quoted note →

Try me, try me, but no decapitations until you utter the magic words.

It is what it is, my life’s an open book. What you see, is what you get. No gimmicks, that is.

Violence, can sometimes be used in the rare case of self-defense, but I strive to be the non-violent kind.
