OK. If we can indeed stop the wars, then it's worth discussing further.

How can we stop those wars?
you seem to be concentrating on 'those wars' only. Why is this, exactly? Is it because 'those wars' could effect 'you', directly?

Why do you not want to stop and prevent 'every war', exactly?
Current wars take precedent over past ones, don't they?
Only in your tiny little 'small world' view.

'Current' is a very relative term, and depending on the size of perspective and view this will effect the length of 'currency'.

The 'current', to you, wars certainly do not take precedent over past nor future, to you, wars, to me.

Also, and obviously, 'we' can not nor would want to stop and prevent 'past', to you, wars. Obviously, I was referring to, the 'current' and 'future', to you, wars when I asked you, why do not want to stop and prevent 'every war'?

Although you may well wish no war started, they did, and thus are things that can be greatly learned from.

That is not correct.

Just because a war might be stopped never in and of itself means that you adult human beings will not start and create more wars.

Other things are actually needed to stop and prevent all 'future', to you, wars from ever
starting up

OK. So I am incorrect to think that current wars take precedence over past ones. How do we stop any wars? Can you tell me that?

Only narrowed and selfish thinking would take 'the view' that 'some wars' take precedence over any 'other wars'. Every war is unjustifiable, and terrifying, no matter what.

Now, how adult human beings stop wars is by first 'accepting' and then 'taking' responsibility, which is done by being Honest, Open, and seriously Wanting to change, "themselves", and thus eventually 'things', for the better.

To be honest, I have a difficult time "accepting" and "taking" responsibility for any war. I'm not sure what that means or entails. No one who makes any decisions in my country ever asks me if I think we ought to go to war or not. If they did, my answer would be an unequivocal "NO!". I didn't vote for any of the Presidents who have started any wars. I think the only political leader I've ever voted for who won was Obama for one of his terms. (I don't remember which one. It might have been his second term because of him ending the Iraq war at the end of his first). I mean, I could symbolically say to myself, "I accept responsibility for War XYZ" however, it would be an empty gesture because I honestly don't think I'm responsible for any war.

However, perhaps you can change my mind by showing me how I am in fact responsible for a war. Are you able to do that?

There is no actual 'space' between 'thought'.

you human beings 'think', within human bodies there is 'thought'. Whereas, God 'knows', instead.
Sometimes Age, communicating with you is like the ocean communicating with a puddle of water.
Okay, and which one do 'you' believe 'you' are, here?

The ocean or the puddle?
Every one is the ocean. There is only the absolute. You cannot know you are the absolute.
The absolute is all there is, ergo, unknowable.

The unknowable is known as conscious awareness is known. No thing that is known knows this.
This knowing is no thing.

If you think the absolute is a thing, then point to the thing you think is the absolute, it’s impossible.

You’ll soon find out that you cannot point to the absolute as a thing that knows, because the absolute is no thing.
If you can point to the absolute, then you are making the absolute a relative thing. A relative thing is not the absolute.

But you already know this, don’t you Age?

Age is known, but no Age can be found to be located anywhere in the entire cosmos. Isn’t that shockingly amazing? Lol 🤩

This is not just word salad, it’s actual recognised conscious aware truth without doubt or error as already being the case.

Okay.

If as an adult human being you do not feel 'responsible' for any way, then 'that' must you feel somewhat 'free' of any responsible at all, right?

If yes, then, in turn, you feel like there is nothing that you could, nor need to do, here, correct?

Every one is the ocean. There is only the absolute. You cannot know you are the absolute.
The absolute is all there is, ergo, unknowable.
So, if every one is, supposedly, 'the ocean', then this means that there is no one who is 'the puddle'.

So, who, in fact, is communicating with who, here? And, who could even be 'the puddle', exactly?

Also, the 'you' is obviously never 'the absolute'. Because who and what is 'the absolute' is obviously very different from 'you', human beings.

Except 'you', the one known as "fairy", here, supposedly.

Would not 'this knowing' be 'knowing', itself, and not 'no thing', itself?
Fairy wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 7:40 am If you think the absolute is a thing, then point to the thing you think is the absolute, it’s impossible.
But, if the Universe is absolute, and thus is the Thing, which is absolute, or 'the absolute', then 'I' will just point to 'the Universe', Itself.

Meaning that 'it' is not impossible and so you believed it was.
Fairy wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 7:40 am You’ll soon find out that you cannot point to the absolute as a thing that knows, because the absolute is no thing.
But, I just did contrary to what you believe/d.
Fairy wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 7:40 am If you can point to the absolute, then you are making the absolute a relative thing. A relative thing is not the absolute.
But, why do you believe, absolutely, that 'I' am making 'the absolute', Universe, a 'relative thing' by just pointing to 'the Universe', Itself?

Which is why when I use you people's names, or labels, I put them in double quotation marks. There are no such things as 'them' as 'they' are just labels, which you human beings put on "yourselves". Just like "american", "arab", "jew", "christian", "doctor", "lawyer", "car driver", "creationist", and absolutely all of the other 'labels' that you, human beings, 'put upon' "yourselves". Absolute none of 'them' actually exist.
Fairy wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 7:40 am This is not just word salad, it’s actual recognised conscious aware truth without doubt or error as already being the case.
Are 'you', one human being, here, 'trying to'. now, claim that what 'you' say and claim, here, in this forum, is actual Truth, without doubt nor error, and which could not be refuted by absolutely any one?

It sounds like we are all doomed. If there is a God, and God doesn't want these wars, then s/he/it could at least give us some way to stop or prevent them. What kind of God creates a world that we humans can do nothing to change? That all we can do is watch as the world goes up in smoke? If there is a God, then God is the only one who can stop or prevent wars. And God doesn't seem to be interested in such things, because God hasn't given any of us the ability to stop or prevent them and God doesn't seem to do anything to stop or prevent them. So what can most of us humans do except die as victims?

But maybe there's no God at all. Maybe we really did just sprout up like fungus by happenstance on a giant rock in the middle of a solar system. In that case, we seem to also be just as doomed.

Age will go on and on about what God "really" is. It's like everyone and their sister somehow knows volumes about God. I guess God just pops in and says "hi" to them occasionally. And we can do anything we want according to Age. He has no clue about reality for most of us. Maybe Age can drop by Trump's office and ask Donald to stop all the wars. I'm sure Trump will listen to him if Age is a billionaire.

Age is a thought.

You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.
The 'changeless' can be realised only when the ever-changing thought-flow stops.

No thought. No you. = Both death and life are identical states of nothingness being everything.

It sounds like we are all doomed.
What, exactly, makes 'it' sound like 'we' are all doomed?

Who and/or is the 'we', exactly? And,

'Doomed' in relation to 'what', exactly?

It sounds like you believed 'we' are all going to live forever, but now 'we' are not.

1. What the 'God' word is referring to, exactly, exists.

2. God could never be gendered. So, 'It' could never be a "he" nor a "she".

3. God has continually been giving you human beings 'the ways' to stop and prevent 'the wars', 'the pollution', and 'the abuse', which you adult human beings started, doing, and continue to create, and cause.

But, you adult human beings just do not want to look and listen to what God is showing and telling you. you much prefer to listen to your own made up assumptions and beliefs, and only see and hear what you want to see and hear, instead
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm What kind of God creates a world that we humans can do nothing to change?
But, you adult human beings are absolutely free to do whatever you want to do. Therefore, you can do absolutely any thing at to change, for the better, or for the worse. Again, how 'the world' is, is exactly because of how 'you' are, and how 'you' want things to be.
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm That all we can do is watch as the world goes up in smoke?
Why are you so closed and blind, here, "gary childress"?

Once more, for the Truly blind and deaf, 'the world' is, exactly, 'the way' it is because of you adult human beings. So, if 'the world' is going up in smoke, then this is because of you adult human beings, only.
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm If there is a God, then God is the only one who can stop or prevent wars.
you could not come across as a less responsible adult human beings, 'gary childress".
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm And God doesn't seem to be interested in such things, because God hasn't given any of us the ability to stop or prevent them and God doesn't seem to do anything to stop or prevent them.
If only you knew the actual Truth, here, "gary childress". If only you knew.
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm So what can most of us humans do except die as victims?
Again, you speak as though you believed you were not going to 'die'.

Also, no matter in what way you 'died', you would see "yourself" as being 'the victim's anyway.
Gary Childress wrote: Wed Jun 18, 2025 5:17 pm But maybe there's no God at all.
How many times do you need to be told that God exists, but just not in 'the way' that you have been told and believed, before you will accept this irrefutable Truth?

you are absolutely free to guess whatever you like, but just like your assumptions, they are never necessarily true, nor right.

Tell 'us' what you adult human beings can not do.

"donald trump", like most of you adult human beings, do not really listen to others, nor listen to any thing that opposes your own current beliefs.
Gary Childress wrote: Thu Jun 19, 2025 12:04 am I'm sure Trump will listen to him if Age is a billionaire.
LOL why would absolutely any one even think that "donald trump", itself, could stop any war, let alone all wars?

Also, it is because of selfishness and greed, which "donald trump" is a prime example of one being, which is why wars continue on as they are, here.

Of course. But, what about 'the puddles'?
