It must be truly humbling to discover that you are selected by .... ? ... for such a purpose.
And just for clarity, who was it that selected you? God?

What does what men call Mosaic Law tell you, a Law Christ said shall stand in every way?

You who have never studied shit, or verified and proven shit, are an arrogant ass-hole.

How can we properly learn to adore and worship you if you will not tell us which deity set you on your path to greatness O mighty lord?

[FlashDangerpants]

So you are operating under the instruction of God. But you are a bit shy about saying so directly.

Forum rules, the poster of a topic has to regulate it. I have reported once.

Just answer the question. It is on topic. You say you were set this greatest task in history, and the question is by whom? Who selected you to be that guy?

If it's under Mosaic Law, then it must be God.

Now, a lot of people complain that they simply cannot understand me, and that I am some kind of arrogant ass-hole, and I am actually the first to agree with them, except I appear to be arrogant because what I know is true, I will not budge from.
So, have you ever imagined what is has been like for me to learn it? A long time ago, I was asked to teach judgement, teach what I knew I had no knowledge of. To ask me to do that involved solving problems that no one in history had solved before. So, you think I am arrogant, think about that. How absurd to be asked to do that which you do not believe could be done!

When I was in training, as a kid, I asked a question, which seemed simple enough to me. Here is the answer I got back. I was standing in the dark, suddenly I was hit by a bright light that penetrated me completely, I could not even close my eyes, it terrified me. I tried to run, but suddenly, the light dimmed down and I was in a field of beautiful flowers. What was the question I asked? I asked, why do people subjectively integrate with reality? I was very young at the time. So, what was the answer? I would not know for decades. Our whole body gives us the light, perception, and it is terrifying, a mind has to block a lot of it out. Eventually though, one learns to control it, and to do beautiful things with it. Now, many, when they try to understand my words do exactly the same thing, put a bag over my head, but it won't work. The Menorah of seven lamps is a metaphor for the seven life support systems of our body. All of the metaphors using 7 in the Bible, refer to perception.

I have had temper tantrums myself, demanding to be taught in plain, comprehensible English, but with one sentence, I was emotionally demolished for it. I was asked, in plain English, What do you think of your progress? I immediately burst into a passion of tears. I know I am stupid, yet I asked the smartest thing man has ever known, if I could have my lessons my way. Imagine the arrogance of that? Yup, arrogant ass I may be.

I have, asked myself, during my lessons over the years, why in the hell would I be given a task no one else in history could solve? That which asked me had to be some kind of delusion, a delusion which could show me things I could not possibly know, so, my questions could never reflect fact. And I have been under a lot of pressure to do what I considered that I was too stupid and slow to do.

So, you have my work, I post it all as part of my personal learning and doing what I was asked, am I too stupid? Answer anyway you like. You cannot curse me any worse than the countless times I cursed myself, and even the one who seemed to believe that I could do it.

Grammar is the prophet, given to man. Grammar, Judgment is the salvation of mankind. Only a fool imagines that it is some particular man, some particular doctrine, some particular theory, some particular organization. It is what your own mind has to do, by biological fact.

Really, you actually believe that people write for specific individuals that they do not know? Maybe you can show me where I said I expected anything from anybody?
You either have the ability to understand what is written, or you do not.
Psychology is commensurate with the principles of language which are functionally resident in the mind as grammar systems. If you expect other people are responsible for your ability to wield the word, as they say, then you are naive and somewhat childish. I have no such power.

Suggest you at least eliminate the possibility of Temporal Lope Epilepsy in you with a psychiatrist.

What you are reporting are instances of an Altered State of Consciousness [ASC].

Note this thread;
Altered States of Consciousness
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=35222

Another common cause [ASC] is epilepsy. According to Medlineplus[35] epilepsy can be described as a brain disorder that causes seizures (2013). During the seizure it is said that the patient will experience hallucinations and loss of mental control[36] causing temporary dissociation from reality. A study that was conducted with six epileptic patients and used the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) detected how the patients did indeed experience hallucinations while a seizure is occurring.[37] This not only altered the patient's behavioral pattern but also made them dissociate from reality during that particular time frame.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_s ... s#Epilepsy

Another pathological cause [of ASC] is psychosis, otherwise known as a psychotic episode. In order to comprehend psychosis, it is important to determine what symptoms it implies. Psychotic episodes often include delusions, paranoia, derealization, depersonalization, and hallucinations (Revonsuo et al., 2008).

I am reading Think Again, by Adam Grant, and trying on his approaches, though not just in communication. Some parts were quite interesting, especially the parts on negotiation and discussions with people who have different or opposed ideas. So, hey, experiment in real life. Though, actually, here, I don't know what he's getting at. IOW not enough to know if I am opposed.

Yes, people do it here all the time. Someone starts a thread, gets responses and the OP writer then responds to the individuals. You haven't noticed this? Online forums where people discuss ideas and experiences with other people who they don't know. Quite common. There are others, for example, Peter Kropotnik here, who seem to lecture more. And, of course, here you are responding to an individual, me.....

Psychology is commensurate with the principles of language which are functionally resident in the mind as grammar systems. If you expect other people are responsible for your ability to wield the word, as they say, then you are naive and somewhat childish. I have no such power.

Yes, I see that you don't. While I am always trying to improve, I think my ability with wielding words is quite strong.

I wish you well in you endeavor.

You're doing it right there, in this post of yours. And yes, people do it here all the time. Online forums where people discuss ideas and experiences with other people who they don't know. Quite common. There are others, Peter Kropotnik here, who seem to lecture more.

Yes, clearly you lack much ability. I apologize if my assumptions based on other people triggered your anger and condescension. Good luck.

Really? Discussing ideas is the same as I ain't got a clue? On what planet? Exactly what idea was asked to discuss? What idea is there in Duh! And how many responses on just this thread are much more than Duh! How many of the posts on this tread are written about the objective, the actually provable facts in how people think, instead of gibberish by people who dribble nonsense about my subjective responses to those ideas? Which has any relevance, usable fact, or talking about shit that changes and has no accumulative relevance? Not one of you picked out the relevant. Where in the hell is an idea to discuss in the chaff? Which part is even worth talking about?

And why in the hell would anyone even want to show respect to those who do not even know what the word means. I like getting laid, I have no passion for you people who do little more than circle jerk.

Really? on what planet would I be called religious? Where in my work do I say I love anything other then women and a provable idea? I even point to work of thousands of pages of mathematical proofs, which you are too stupid to even reference, and out of that you deffer to people who question which side of the bed is Holly? And you called this some grand idea of yours?
And, I started exploring The lucid dream state as a child, stopping segments, replaying portions to examine results, learning about recollections in dreams, comparing segments with waking fact. You do not seem to know shit about it.
In short, I went beyond what is known about how people who are genius dream.
Do you think someone who examines things habitually while awake suddenly changes their whole psychology to become a passive idiot? Really? And what book on psychology gave you that belief?

Show me one responder on this thread who actually had an idea to discuss, and when presented with one, had little more than thoughtless knee jerking.

I am not religious, never have been nor ever will be, I teach and learn about the biologically defined job as a mind.

And I never read a thing about Lucid Dreaming, I was exploring it in the 1950's when I was 8. I never knew it had a name until I was in my 30's, in fact, I was a very young child exploring dreams because I asked myself a question. I asked myself if a person can practice the modification of behavior in their dreams. And so I explored dreams to see what I could and could not do in them. I was wholly surprised to find that part of dreaming is not controlled by the dreamer. And do you actually believe I would take anything on faith about it?

Secondly, I have had only two visions in my life, wholly unexpected, while awake and fully engaged in normal shit, only to be informed, that I was in danger I could not even see.
You do not learn about altered states by book reading. You examine them for yourself, or they are simply not relevant. Even the author or author's of the Bible, which to me is not about religion at all, shows that the writer made a distinction between dreams and visions. Dreams are normal, a normal part of mental health, but the writer of the Bible, tells you, if you believe you have had a vision, verify it with fact. So, you show that you do not know shit.

I see. That looks like using openness and such as tools of persuasion or compromise. I think Belinda has been trying that approach with every weird psycho she comes across on this site for years with limited results.

I'm not sure the tool measures up to the task in this case. It's like climbing mount Everest with a tooth pick instead of the other sort. A psychiatrist with a prescription pad might be able to help him.
