ohhhh kay
first principles are phase I.
I don’t understand why anyone would say we don’t have access to them. Without them we access nothing else. They are the most immediate to us. Are they not the great equalizer?
I think my harmonic triads doc is a little scrambled with the heart stuff in the wrong place. I think I’m gonna be learning the stuff this semester though. There’s a difference between psyche and nous… learned last sesh.
Story time? One of my favorite moments, a memory I won’t soon forget… I can’t remember how we got there, but we were discussing truth vs application of theory (doing stuff with it regardless if it’s true… matrix style), I think (could’ve been something else)… the rest of the class captive audience per usual (brief moments of input)… and I asked something like “What’s your purpose?” and… the Dude makes The Jerk reference!!! Fricken riot. One of those … something like this is rare and will probably never happen again … moments/people. Grateful. This is God’s universe. We just get to Be here.
Yes, I do hope as well cause getting to know one, even maskless or faceless is quite indulging on any level

“Well, Master,” she said, “even the dogs under the table eat the crumbs that the children drop.”
“Well said!” replied Jesus. “Off you go; the demon .
And another hilarious one:
Jesus enjoys the use of humorous irony too. “Follow me,” Jesus famously said to Simon and Andrew, “and I’ll have you fishing for people!” (Mark 1:17). Obviously, you don’t go fishing for people (you go fishing for fish), but saying such a thing to blue-collar fishermen, writes Elton Trueblood in his interesting and insightful book The Humor of Christ, most likely would have elicited a smile from Simon and Andrew before they left their nets and followed him…
