Herdy,
So youāre growing? Goodā¦
The brick wall I was referring to is your propensity to repeat the same lines over and over as a response to people.
Can we really say āall that I say is trueā, Herdy, insofar as our own theories, subjective as they are? All arc might say is that I think it is true, or it is true for me. Does that necessarily mean truth? What if arc is indeed wrong about many things as indeed arc surely knows she is? How would she ever begin to discover what is real, Herdy?
thatās a very loaded question. Know you in which way? I am quite aware that what I feel I may know of you may be false. In order to know you, I would have to have a very large perspective of you ā or many many of them.
What do you mean by handle? What I mean is, beneath your words, what do you really mean?
I think that all of us in one way or another can help the other in understanding his/her own existenceā¦as in the little red dots learning of themselves through the other red dots. And I agree with you ā it depends on how willing and eager one is to learn.
Let me ask you a question ā do you ever leave God out of the equation? Do you see that you have power on your own?
sometimes, I think, at least, and perhaps I am wrong - when we try to teach ā it is good to come from a place where someone can better be open to what we are trying to teachā¦I understand how you feel about God ā I have been there myself in the past, but not everyone feels as you do, Herdy. Sometimes it is good to try to look at something through the same lenses that someone else looks through. This is all I am saying. In other words, in presenting your theory, is it possible to leave God out of the equation? Maybe not, I donāt know ā perhaps for you your theory is about God more than anything else. But is it possible to find a way around that?
I did not tell you that you were wrong ā all I said is that maybe you were or maybe you werenāt. This is always the question that we have to ask ourselves or be open to listening to othersā ideas about it. Our theories are based on a lot of presumptions, assumptions, biases, subjective thinking, good thinkingā¦is this your theory or is all of this your truth that cannot be debated, cannot be walked through at all?
I mean you say there:
a red dot may never exist (move) without belief in higher power (hence one of my fundamental truths- existence equals belief in higher power)
now you know that there are many people who do not believe in a god as their higher power. Even if you can say that that higher power can be anything to a person, other than oneās typical personified thought of a god, - letās say, a tree, their loved one, the sun, the moon, science to a scientist, math to a mathematician, rocks to a geologist, etc. than AT THE SAME TIME, you still have to prove that we are incapable of autonomous existence, of being, without belief, any belief, and without a higher power, no matter what /who that is. Many people do a fantastic job, I think, at still existing without any beliefs. They exist quite well without god.
A human being may be left with nothing, Herdy, absolutely nothing, and still have the will to live, still live, despite this.
If your theory was true, Herdy, I think there would have been a great many suicides and life as we know it would not still exist today.
weāll see, sweetieā¦and thank you.
