Why don’t you flush your shit down the shitter where it belongs and stop giving it all the attention.

Rude girl! Back on the FOE list.

Thank God for that.

Wow! I can see clearly now.

As no mind is accessible to any other, everyone factually is alone. It is those who demand to keep their illusions, are actually the pathetic ones.
Everyone is alone, if they cannot accept that, than they cannot cope with reality.

Everyone is shitting out their own unique version of dog turd. Some even believe theirs smells the sweetest.

Pages of nothing but '... who is currently on your ignore list, made this post.'. Only one of whom's I 'Display this post' as they might have something to say.

Don't just adopt a cosmology. Tell the truth, particularly to yourself, about your experience just as it is. First, you've got to find out what the truth of experience - and you - is.

“This concern with the basic condition of freedom -- the absence of physical constraint -- is unquestiona­bly necessary, but is not all that is necessary. It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free -- to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national State, or of some private interest within the nation, want him to think, feel and act. There will never be such a thing as a writ of habeas mentem; for no sheriff or jailer can bring an illegally imprisoned mind into court, and no person whose mind had been made captive by the methods outlined in earlier articles would be in a position to complain of his captivity. The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The vic­tim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.”

Could any of you human beings, here, explain, exactly, where 'one, supposed, mind' actually is, exactly, and how and where there is some, supposed, 'other mind', exactly?

If yes, then great?

But, if no, then why not?

Could there actually be only One Mind? Or, is this a complete and utter impossibility to you people, here?

Could the ones who demand to keep their beliefs, also be the ones who demand to keep their illusions?

Or, could it be the ones who demand to keep their illusions, be the ones who also demand to keep their beliefs?

For example is there really more than One Mind, or is 'this' just an illusion people keep because they demand to keep their belief that there is more than One Mind. Although none of them actually have any proof of 'this' at all.

So 'now' you human beings are defecating dog faeces?

And, 'the truth', well to "fairy" anyway, is that 'you' are God, and that 'you/God' is every thing, but, which is also no thing, as well, right?

And that is what God is: a concept, an idea, a universal being who is everywhere at the same time. And it is that very abstractness that makes it hard to comprehend who God is.

Your last sentence does not conform to your previous statements.

What is God, does not equate to Who is God. This contradiction is part of your confusion. You approach the question ass end first.

What is the only power a mind can recognize? A mind is an information processor whose job is predicting our behavior for survival. I.e. as all information processing is binary, comprised of just two parts of speech, God is, as Plato tried to get people to understand, The power of a mind, just like in the Bible, To know the difference between right and wrong, i.e. judgment and truth. God is Judgment in Truth. So, it is wholly impossible to believe in God if one thinks that God is perceptible, which is a sign of illiteracy. No one who is illiterate can believe in God, because they do not know what they are, why they are, or how to do their biologically defined job.

A mind is a life support system, as such it has one and only one job to do and only one means of doing it. It is the only power it can actually understand, when it is sufficiently functional.

When a person is doing their own work, then they are, as Plato noted, as the Bible notes, like God. When the mind of man, via literacy, can think in accordance with the image of God, then they know what God is.

So, if you cannot use your God given Grammar Matrix, by which all judgments are made; Common Grammar, Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry, and can use them so as to not contradict each other, which has been the fashion since the dawn of primitive men, then you know judgment. Binary recursion can only produce a binary result.

Here is an example:
Adam and Eve are a Conjugate Binary Pair whereby Complete Induction and Deduction produces the life of mankind.
Relative and Correlative are a Conjugate Binary Pair whereby Complete Induction and Deduction produces all judgment which maintain and promote life, all judgments. It is called the ability to predict behavior before one actually initiates it, or modeling. Simply put, the Art of Prophecy, aka Rationality.

Another example; you will find my birthday, color of my hair and eyes, in the Nostradamus.
