Oh my god. Why the absolute fuck is everything #twitter here? Why am I sitting on one of the 50 Twitter clients watching losers unveil "new" Twitter clients?! THERE ARE ENOUGH. You can STOP now. God forbid anyone make anything more useful... like a Discord client or even something *novel!*

How we answer the questions "why are we here?" and "what to do about it?" has serious implications for our orientations toward life and for what our world looks like. The predominate religion of West has inculcated adherence to a supervised playground worldview where we exist "to glorify god" - it very loudly implies a passive existence of revering the natural status quo. But what I suggest, is something vastly more active and meaningful... https://blogstack.io/naddr1qqyrzdehvgek2wrpqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsyg9xvvtzfmfnan702jn4gqhfx8seejrl384ufhkyf28ehpmzfws69upsgqqqw4rsmhzt9h #gnostic #gnosticism

This guy claims to be able to see the "simulation code" running through a laser's light while on DMT.

First off, trust only in your *Self* when it comes to these things. So, unless you're a fairly un-impressionable person, you do the experiment yourself, and you see code or digits with your own DMT-altered eyes, don't have "faith" and don't run and trust guys like this. He's clearly got the Zillennial Jesus gimmick going on and is trying to build or entertain a following. Still, while this guy may or may not be playing, this is a good example of the character of #Gnosticism. #Gnostics do not inherent a culture of repetitive study or adherence to sacred books from Judaism - namely because it is not Jewish (or Christian) in origin. Instead, Gnostic sects tended to view holy books as spiritual journals and were willing both to incorporate texts from other traditions into their personal search for #Gnosis when it made sense and to write their own spiritual journals as they sought to induce a #personal #experience of the #divine. The Early CE Gnostics typically liked to share and exchange meeting notes on how to deal with the core predicament of existence in this world rather than to dictate.

"The universe appears to us to exist in three dimensions of space and one of time—a geometry that we will refer to as the “three-dimensional universe.” In our scenario, this three-dimensional universe is merely the shadow of a world that has four spatial dimensions. Specifically, our entire universe came into being during a stellar implosion in this suprauniverse, an implosion that created a three-dimensional shell around a four-dimensional black hole. Our universe is that shell."

The Black Hole That Birthed the Big Bang

Is the big bang, and all that came from it, a holographic mirage from another dimension?

There are a number of things in the study of physics and the universe that lend to the understanding of reality promoted by #gnosticism. #Gnostic Thoughts?

People will come out in outcry against *young people* (late teens, 20s, and early 30s) having benevolent body modification procedures (aka plastic surgery in 2023) as if this is some kind of noble, champion of the youth thing. But, this is actually evil. It's damnation. So much of human relationships and interaction comes down to the genetic outside (how you look) as an often (enough) faulty indicator of the genetic inside (how you are) that your quality of life and the achievability of your life goals depends - in very large part - on your appearance. People can't just override this stuff with "nice thoughts," "trainings," and "introspection." Often times its down to urges and just not liking or enjoying the presence of someone no matter what they do. Moreover, the events and milestones that impact the trajectory of your life the absolute most (on both a mental and material level) happen when you are young. This means that plastic surgery has its greatest upside - its greatest ability to increase the quality of your lifetime - while you are young. While you are looking for a spouse... While you're starting up your career... While you're establishing your social life... While you are scouting for opportunity... Yet, these worshippers of either mindless nature or incompetent demiurge are absolutely adamant that no one should have any kind of plastic surgery to improve nature's mistakes *at least* until it can have virtually no positive impact on your experience. (The knowing religionists actually hate human ability to manipulate nature for the benefit of Selves in any capacity.) None of this is to say that plastic surgery is risk free - it isn't. But, a lot of suffering would be alleviated if we stopped lying about our reality and stopped gaslighting the people who try to change their lives for the better.
