I'm drinking shitty coffee cause I need to shitty wake up

not sure whats sadder, ignorant people covering themselves in ignorance or smart people doing it.

I am addicted to spicy tuna handroll

@anemone they really. really are

its not enough to celebrate love. almost all love in the world is ego-driven and desireful. celebrate agape.

can't believe my papa died

@kernow @nautilus christians find job much more important than jews do

@wikihow trick one: wait

Sorry for reposting, last time of the day, but I'm so close!

8th of August it's my birthday.
Sharing this just in case someone can help me throwing some dollars to my ko-fi as a gift, so I can take the 1st week vacation in 18 years of not being able to feel some real nature outside of Buenos Aires.
There's still 8 days for my birthday, and only 14% to go, maybe it still can happen?

@nautilus I havent read the book of job because I am one of the people who doesnt like the story. but I realize it addresses a certain need for people who dont understand Gods perfect justice and perfect mercy. my philosophy is that God is a teacher, not a tester.

@unmind @ug this too. the torah is just the first five books

@ug @unmind mosaic authorship of the whole torah was a relatively late development

@nautilus

"Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart..." (btw I can chant the ve'ahavta in original hebrew)

"For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it."

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

@unmind yeah I thought about saying the opposite thing too

probably most of the bible started as oral tradition so written vs oral law is very misleading

theres a lot of weird shit in the talmud tbh but theres weird shit in the bible too

@Griffith @nyx

@sarvo in hinduism memories from past lives are to be put aside and not identified with. unwanted samskaras are burnt up through various ways especially devotion and meditation. but in new age woo past lives are treated like western psychology treats unaddressed childhood trauma. they have to be processed and worked through and the way they influence this life is seen as making them important.

the idea that past lives need to be dredged up processed and dealt is probably a product of western psychology
