Inevitable

if you truly understand that, this moment becomes truly vivid

Awesome thought, connecting freedom to death in this way: "It is appointed for man to die once, and then the judgement....." "He who the Son sets free is free indeed..."

I'm with you.

One of the best scenes in Band of Brothers.

“You have to know, not fear, that someday you are going to die. Until you know that and embrace that, you are useless.”

“Every soul will taste death…” Holy Quran Chapter 3: “The Family of Imran” Verse 185 Imran is Mary’s Father, Jesus’ Grandfather. Although not mentioned in the Holy Bible, the Christian Tradition typically refers to him as Joachim.

Today restoring an old house, bare bones, no floor just joists, a contractor slipped off the joist and fell 4-5ft landing straight on his back. He was very lucky he didn’t hit his head on the way down, so many wood beams, bricks at the bottom, nails sticking out, he didn’t get a scratch. Sore shoulder and ego, but he could have easily died… It made me think of people that are in serious accidents don’t remember what happened. That made me think that any one of us could have already died and we didn’t even know. Since the universe and time are likely eternal, that’s a lot of time for your conscious energy to figure out a story or life that makes it comfortable, that is familiar, maybe the life you are living now? How many times have we died? nostr:nevent1qqsztw4vt677yrkl8encrpncc6a7s0awac35w8dkzc4mh6cxl64m4sgpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cs40g8ff

Jones Town called they want their koolaid back!

a deeper look perhaps? 🕳️ The letter J did not exist in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Arabic during Jesus’ time. The sound we associate with “J” today evolved much later in European languages. Here’s how this applies to names like Jesus, Joachim, and John: 1. Jesus’ Original Name • In Hebrew/Aramaic: Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) • In Greek: Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς) • In Latin: Iesus • Modern English: Jesus (The “J” sound developed in English around the 16th century) 2. Joachim’s Name (Mary’s Father in Christian Tradition) • In Hebrew: Likely Yehoyaqim (יְהוֹיָקִים) • In Greek: Ioakeim (Ἰωακείμ) • In Latin: Joachim • Modern English: Joachim (with the “J” sound added later) 3. John the Baptist’s Name • In Hebrew: Yochanan (יוֹחָנָן) • In Greek: Ioannes (Ἰωάννης) • In Latin: Iohannes • Modern English: John

I love the fountain

An interesting interview on near-death experiences. https://fountain.fm/episode/jjpp6Qh84It9RlYYK4uM

This is how I felt yesterday moving into a Bangkok highrise.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21

In Band of Brothers, Captain Ronald Speirs took over command of Easy Company from First Lieutenant Norman Dike during the assault on Foy in Episode 7, "The Breaking Point." Dike hesitated and failed to lead effectively under fire, prompting then-Battalion XO Captain Winters to send Speirs to take over. Speirs immediately took decisive action, leading a bold charge through enemy lines, which helped turn the tide of the battle.

My only friend, the end🪦⚰️☠️

ego death leads to ecstatic freedom

Bingo. Mission above all else. Fear of death is fear of life.

For believers, death is the beginning for an eternity with Christ……. For non-believers, it is a dark day of judgement……. Pride prevents many from humbling themselves before the Cross……. Ultimately, all are humbled and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…….. We #Bitcoiner’s say “stay humble and stack sats”. Humbling ourselves before the Cross, is much more important…….. Think Pompeii, and people clutching their valuables at the time of their death……. What a sad sight………. We don’t take anything with us………

You never know which day might be your last Decide accordingly

I must have tapped the wrong button, it should be ❤️ not 🧀

Tuesdays with Morrie

It's true

Camus can one-shot impressionable twenty something’s into nihilism. Perhaps best to put the existentialism on hold until after creating a family.

I agree also understanding it is important.
