Wisdom

Comes from experience, but I'll say some, anyway!

You cannot be wise by others' wisdom.  But you can grok what you read.   Wisdom is bliss.   Be Happy!  It is a form of wisdom. -Collette;   Wisdom is not always measured in years.   Wisdom is to the mind what health is to the body.   Hatred is self-punishment.  We are all interconnected:  You are a part of the problem.  There are those who would destroy or discredit you;  Wisdom is to know one's own folly.  To learn from one's own mistakes.  Wisdom is constant, unrestrained rejoicing!   To be ill-humored is to be a prisoner at the mercy of an enemy you can't escape.  -Sa'di.  There is nothing to fear, only to be understood -Marie Curie.  Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.  Don't criticize: help!  Be yourself.   Do it now.   Don't put it off, procrastinate.   Lead by example.  One thought can change the world.  It's just a game.  Read.  It's how you play the cards you're dealt.  Wisdom sees the good in all religions.  Right or wrong, there will always be opposition.  It is good to understand just one thing, thoroughly.   Doubt precedes wisdom.   Wisdom relates to truth, honesty, liberty, solitude, error, service, love, action, acting, patience, moderation, revelation, prudence, peace, delay.    Live well, laugh often, love much.   You're just as good as the next person.  Always have something positive to say.  Sometimes it is best to agree to disagree.   It is as equally unwise to have anxiety about the past as it to be depressed over the future.  If you have motivation, it is not "work".  Winners keep competing.    The average person thinks he isn't.   Listen to children, and the elderly.  Friendship and laughter are the best doctors and medicine.  Better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.   Solitude should be voluntary.  What is worth doing is worth doing well.   Some things take longer, and are worth the wait.   Cheeriness can sometimes be more annoying than bad temper.  A smile is the best beauty treatment.   The busiest don't always get the most done.  People study for different reasons: pleasure in learning, their resume, or ability.   Mind is the most powerful tool in our arsenal.  The mind, like a garden, needs weeding from time to time.  Wisdom shares the same seed as common sense.  Don't believe everything you think!  Wisdom is a basis for authority.   Imagination is a power of creation.  By suffering comes wisdom.  Philosophy is the love of wisdom.  Know thyself.  The dhammapada says, "the fool who knows his foolishness, is wise at least so far, but a fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed."   Better to be be quiet and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.  Better to be quick to listen, and slow to speak, so to speak.  Whenever God prepares evil for a man, He first damages his mind. -Sophacles.   Pride goes before destruction, and the haughty spirit before a fall.  Carpe diem!  A fool believes everything.  Love believes all things.  A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.  The wise laugh often and much.  The wise find at least one reason to laugh each day - even if it's at themselves.  Wisdom is asking the right questions, not giving the right answers.  All good things must come to an end.

———

God is love, perfect, all-powerful, good, a man of war, the creator, reality itself, sustainer, destroyer, beneficent, merciful, kind, infinite, always and everywhere, the source of all things good, a word, a concept, a role, an identity, a status, patient, never fails, always trusts hopes and perseveres, keeps no record of wrongs, and is in fact imaginary.  Huh?

———

Real God is the community of good-will, always and everywhere.   Life is good, and people are kind and helpful, and mostly virtuous, like you.  We’re all in this together, and there is more than enough reason to stay positive, love life, and die well.  

You’ve got 120 years or so, max.    Do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be.   But stay within the law, and the spirit of the law, in good faith, if you don’t want to be incarcerated, raped, or worse.  You want freedom, right?  Treat others as you would have them treat you.  If you want to hurt people, be willing to get hurt.   Be all that you can be, in the Army.  Be a murderous prick, maybe.

What are some options?  Philosopher of the lord.   I plumped for that one.  Life or Death, love or depravity.  You love depravity?  Then you should love hell.  You get what you give, is the equation for justice for a world in which we are all equals.  Karma is a natural law and should be expected, if there is any kind of meaning or sense whatsoever in this absurd pointless life and existence.  It’s a mad world.   I maintain a belief in some kind of control, justice, and oversight, that knows what’s truly happening, as a sane authority over us all.  

There’s an X-men character called The Beast.   He’s got blue hair and some kind of superpower.  He’s a polymathic genius.  Antichrist and X-mas…  No one is against Christmas!  (christ! More!?).  Let’s hear it for Christ-men!   X-men at the Vatican!   Ha.   AC is a political or religious figure.  Adversary or substitute for Christ that opposes God?  No one opposes God.   Not really.   God is a part of EVERYthing and everyone.  Right?  I mean, if it’s all good, already.    If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  You can’t be against something that doesn’t exist.   

      The other thing about Christ is he’s like 2000 years old and dead.   Authors live on like Jesus has, but only in the ongoing nature of their teachings and effect on society.   If Jesus were really alive, he’d be old and shriveled, and dying to die, so to speak.  We’re only human.  

If Jesus is God, and God is omniscient, but is also a person, and people die, then a quest for impermanence and eternal life (like, say, in vampire literature, or concepts of souls going to Heaven) could only seriously be considered for robotic life, who could endure the agonizingly long journeys in spacecraft to go and terraform various and sundry exoplanets, or withstand the freezing temperatures of interstellar space, or have minds that can stay occupied with all of mankind’s data for the ages, eons, epochs, whatever, before the more real fun begins of starting Earth2.   We hope.  Why would anyone endure confinement in a tin can for untold periods of time, enduring space dust danger, and ….  Ugh, it’s too horrible to contemplate.  

Fun things:  Sex and heroin and exercise endorphins and love-bliss and immersion in a movie and reading well-written escape literature and winning and compliments and laughter and friendship and roller-coasters and surfing and Nirvana and good music and dancing and sunning yourself and swimming and skiing and winning the lottery and restaurants and travel and good dreams and writing something new/ interesting and winning a debate and teaching and making money…. Beating cancer or making a new religion or writing and publishing a book…. Which part of all this is in the cards for cosmonauts?

Halo weenie

Halloween!

Hallowed e’en

Sacred evening

Scared in the dark

Dress up and be something else

Be something spooky?

Get candy

Trick or treat 

Who does tricks anymore?

I have a blind friend who can take out her eyes!  (now THAT’s a trick)

I bought almond kisses, York peppermint patties, and Hershey’s nuggets

Probably no one will come, so KRT and I will eat everything ourselves

Hello weenie (greetings, hot dog)

Satan says Happy Helloween! Muahaha

You can’t spell Halloween without “allow”

Welcome to the darker side

Days can be pretty dark, too

Freeze Frame

sausage and JESUS (susej)?

Jesus (geezus) or Jesus (heyZeus), Isa (arabic), Yeshua, Yehoshua (YHWH is salvation)

Christ (not his last name) (means messiah, anointed with chrism)

Last name? Of Nazareth, Nazarene

Aramaic?  Yeshu Mshikha

   The carpenter’s son, the son of Joseph

YM, JCON

Yada yada.   The most talked about person in history.

Jess U

okay, me

I go by Chuy, Isaí, Jesse, too

Chewy and juicy

Ay, AI, aye

Art of fish’l intelligence

Understanding fish psychology

Averse to x, desirous of y

Averse to getting eaten, desirous of food/sex

Right?

So, herding fish, like dolphin pods do

Attract them into the net with fish food

What is irresistible to your kind of fish?

Stupid fish

Ghoti 

Bfd

Miracle of the loaves and fishes

Well, OBVIOUSLY he froze time, and went and gathered it all, then turned time back on again

Reality is like a video, and you can pause it.   Everyone knows that!

Non-Christian does not mean Non-Good

Antichrist

Jesus is just alright - The Byrds/ The Doobie Brothers

What is Christ?  It means anointed with chrism (olive oil).

Who cares if you’ve been anointed or not?   I don’t

Olive oil is healthy, but I have no opinion, even if you swim in the stuff

I believe Jesus is dead

Even if he rose from the dead, and outlived his crucifixion, he was only human, and surely died of old age, right?

People believe in vampires, who are supposedly immortal

And the same of Jesus, that he never dies

But, uh…Nobody lives forever, okay

People need to believe in Heaven, sometimes

And it’s interesting to think about 

   (immortality, paradise, heaven, utopia, the kingdom)

His message lives on, of course (the bible, the church, the religion)

I’m not for or against him - turn the other cheek is good advice

   Prince of peace is a good thing, too

The scare tactic of eternal damnation was a bit much, if you ask me

Everyone dies, those who deserve heaven, and those who deserve hell

    (nobody has ever deserved eternal torment)

Jesus and Hitler are in the same place.   Dust to dust.  Sorry.

Even if you’re against “Christ”, like you think he was evil or something, 

   (maybe you especially like fig trees?  Or pigs?)

   also, There’s a non-canonical story of Jesus killing someone

Because Flying Spaghetti Monster is far more virtuous and happy and fun-

Or HeyZeus was just wrong (Atheism holds more water)

    (And christian services are boring and annoying?)

OR, Jesus was dark (get behind me, Satan), and actually pro-evil

   (sending someone to Hell is the ultimate evil, right?)

Or you think other religions are better (I prefer Buddhism)

Maybe you just don’t believe Jesus was God, or all that

Just a guy, not born of a virgin, or capable of miracles (but magic, though…)

    Seriously, though, who cares if Mary did it or not?

    Are we saying semen was teleported into her by advanced aliens or something?

I’ve seen YouTube magic of walking on water

And magicians can make water into wine, too (Google it)

Necromancy is fraudulent

Souls don’t even exist, but if they did, I probably wouldn’t give mine to Jesus! 

Word play

Ant eye cryst;   (ants don’t cry)

aunty Christ (a nun);  Yes, actually

antique rice (eucharist contender?)

anarchist (sounds like)

   Whatever

A Debate in my head:

Only God is good

God is love

Goodness and love exist

God’s name is I AM

Atheism

Fun because believers are so annoying?

Strong and weak

Asserting no god exists

    And, in fact, it is Not Possible for a god to exist

A need to define our terms (a lack of evidence for what?)

well, the word God exists

“and the word was God” - bible verse John 1:1

Withholding belief in any god due to lack of evidence

Just look around.  God is everywhere.

Reality is all the God there ever is.  -Adi Da

God created the universe?

Absurd

Who created God?

God is the source of all things good?

You mean, sex and love

God is One

We’re talking in circles

It’s a philosophical merry-go-round

wheeeee
