oh no, you definitely, definitely, definitely don’t have oppositional defiance disorder.
That is two orders in one sentence. Me doing me, according to you, is to tell others what they should live by. So your first order contradicts your second order. And your second order contradicts itself, because it doesn’t even do what it is ordering.
You should really work on that.
“I was privileged to have engaged myself in the world, cared for the dying, washed the demented, and fed those who couldn’t feed themselves”.
Who do you think you are Jesus Christ? Of course you do.
You really don’t get it, do you.
.
Astounding!
It’s really crazy with Christians of a certain ilk.
Suppose you actually feel called, like I did, to do what Jesus said, and in my case take a job in elderly care, where people are dying, suffering under various forms of dementia, and are often too weak to eat alone. Isn’t it strange to be accused of thinking we are Jesus Christ, when we’re just doing what nurses do all over the world?
I think that some of you are so far removed from reality in your lovely services, devotions and bible meetings that it would be good to engage with the less fortunate. I benefitted from it greatly, even though it is of course hard work, shift work and weekends. Make your faith palpable and you will suddenly see how narrow your perspective is.
Balance this:
with this:
An order that violates self=other (consent) is no order at all.
act/potency
Apologies to Professor Spector.
I agree with you Bob. As Dr. Viktor Frankl proposed, giving meaning to one’s life is a powerful source of resilience, purpose, and joy.
I agree, of course. We must only be aware that our meaning is not always the meaning someone else gives to life, and in the situation of death, we must pause to consider the wishes of the dying.
But in the larger perspective, the meaning we give life is often contradicted by others and it remains a question of how we can cooperate. Our reaction should also include a pause in Frankl’s sense, which is the freedom he found in conflicting situations (such as the concentration camp).
…a pause to realign with self=other and count as nihil all meaning that is out of alignment.
Yes, the pause is a moment of deliberate reevaluation, rejecting external or misaligned constructs of meaning to embrace a more harmonious or unified worldview. This enables us to live authentically, ethically, or in balance with a core principle of interconnectedness.

If death is real then how come this:
“We are only receivers, but what we receive is eternal and timeless.
How to tune in the right chanell?
Try reducing the number of connections, until just one, then let go even of that one.
There be an other one just across the Way.
(Inferred from Saint James, when he answered the question of how many ‘i’ are there in the universe) or something like that)
Let go (trust), because it has you/many, and you are from/in it?
Don’t have to tell me 500,000 times.
Yes you do.
Ok, but then I came up with the similarity/analogy formed by
In synch<>synchronicity as it relates to the 1<>98%, physical-metaphysics-quanta
How does that sqare with Jesus’command of you have to be born again; to reach There - The Way-very broadly speaking
500,000 times could go to 500,000x500,000 in that scheme of things.
In a world that very little nonsense could adapt to a universalization that could do.
“I am a man of unclean lips.”
…pretty much speaks for everybody when face2face.
This speaks of a saddening misconception of the human condition, especially for those people permanently forced into fight or flight mode, whose survival hangs on a string.
Many of the elderly I attended to when they were dying were too weak to fight against the imminent end of life. With every interaction that they perceived as an ‘act of love’ the tears in their eyes or on their cheeks, the weak grip of their hand combined with a desperate stare, could only be met with a hug, or a stroke of our fingers to take away the tears. They thirsted for friendly words, and in this situation, we were often prepared with a prayer or some meaningful words that their children had passed on to us.
In such a situation, even Christians said that a loving God can only have compassion with the helpless soul who found themselves wrapped up in events, swept along into errors of judgement and consequent remorse. I found that some who were only housewives all their lives asked, “Do you think we are foregiven?” I know that former soldiers were wreaked by nightmares.
I have an attitude towards even the worst of mankind that is coloured by compassion, even if sadness and frustration is also there.
And the Way to Truth is so manifest it is axiomatic not nearly a surety.
Proof
The energy is indestructible that is It is what IT always Is and will be.
There IS no will, only determination…
Eternal manifestation is not a prerequisite of such imminent/iccasional 
stations, only a suspect conversion transpired by and through a thinnest Mylar sheet, that feeds into the receptors of all cognitive descriptions, causing the demonstrated ego to immediately to deflat.
Such ‘peak’ experienced ‘hallucinations’ are of indeterminate value in the reconstruction of the fated progression of the universal Catholic Faith.
I didn’t 100% read that, but my first impression is that when we refuse to follow the evidence where it leads, we willfully walk into our own straight jacket.
Yes, but not without hedging bets between a 49/51 and. 2/98 percent probability.
Anything above circa 52 percent is suspect(ed)
When you’re talking about a deductive “proof” … those percentages reflect more about your own capacity to follow the evidence than they do about the evidence.
