I was just asking for friendly advice, you have experience in these matters. I haven’t completely made up my mind, it’s just something I’m looking into.
I don’t actually believe anything say. Sorry.
Well that’s up to you. Fuggedaboutit.
Still… do this anyway:
No, I’m not going to spend time talking to someone who thinks I’m a liar, what’s the point?
Up to you, of course.
Anyway.
Like haha & strange are mutually exclusive.
I think you would kick ass in addiction services.
They’re all degenerates like me, though, so you might have to curb the outrage at what you hear. It will all be knarly. On the spot, I mean, not the course. I also think starting with the course would be the right way.
Thanks. I would need to learn the proper approach, I don’t really know much about the job apart from the support I’ve received myself, but I would like to get into it. Maybe it’s the final step towards sorting out my own issues, dunno.
I don’t think it would do any harm to take that course, a lot of stuff can be built on something like that, might be a good foothold for further endeavors. Dunno.
Yeah. I mean, fuck it, for whatever it’s worth.

That’s a lot of freakin money to blow on what is available for free, man.
(Says the person with a philosophy degree..)
[Degree sounds like masters or PhD…I don’t have either.]
(& psychology) I wanted my B.A. My parents were very encouraging. They still are, but.
Like I friggin said.
I cannot work full time & do that shit—I will lose my last marble.
It takes a kind of calling.
I don’t agree with much of it now, but it saves lives.
It’s not not having died that I’m thankful for, but having lived long enough to figure out some important things.
I like never lose your playfulness.
I hope you were being playful when you said you weren’t catholic anymore.
Personally, I would never play about that sort of thing.
I would heartily dislike some big schism here on the basis of something that I see as affecting nothing of what I see as true in what you write.
I believe in God. I feel silly saying that, because I believe that divine prescence is obvious. It takes effort to pretend to stamp it out in one’s self, to turn a blind eye. I believe he was made flesh.
I believe the divine, in general, is directly accessible.
I also believe other things that a Christian may not like. I think religion has been with man forever, because God has been with man for ever. I believe in the sacred.
I like this thread a lot, and I know you would feel that other things I believe would sully it. So I will spare you.
If I had to read the things you write, specially when you address the divine directly, I think I would probably say I believe all of it.
None of it do I take lightly, or has been lightly considered.
In karma and stuff like mercury retrograde having more than merely apparent significance? You’re not the only Christian I’ve heard say ridiculous crap like that. They’re just ignorant toddlers. Worse are the ones that flame people on Twitter with racist extremist baloney… but probably every bit as much of an ignorant toddler. Non-ignorant non-toddlers are a rare find.
No not karma.
But anyway, this and that. Catholic is the closest existing reference to what I am.
Nothing. Any being in God can do anything God enables them to do. What we are doing by nature is supernatural if your starting point is being able to do absolutely nothing because God didn’t make you able to do anything.
For example, say a rock is incapable of doing anything without help from outside intelligence, and we’re not wrong about rocks like we were wrong about junk DNA being junk. If the stones were to cry out, you would have good reason to assume they had help from outside intelligence.
That’s why there has to be original intelligence … and we’re not it (any being subject to time).
Having the capability to experience more than one time t has to be granted as a gift for everyone except the original(s).
The mystery of Jesus’/Logos’ incarnation is no less/more of mystery than the “mystery” of how contingent being exists within aseity—without modal collapse.
