@BlondB00 I relate it to the false expectation many have that a mystic(al) experience be accompanied by a vision or unexpected sign. Mystical experience is a direct experience of God, and this can happen without any vision occurring, and without the mystic even realizing it’s occurred.

A poem in the notes app is safe. But that’s not what poems are built for

Parasocial relationships are, quoting Ruth Burrows, “beneath human dignity.” They are infatuations that expect “nothing in return.” They are not “fully human” and “must be worked through” because fully human relationships contain “a giving […] but also a completion.”

If AI LLMs use patterns to choose the most likely response, and the least likely response would definitionally be nonsense, people are uniquely positioned in between to choose the unlikely response. And this has always been our purpose: to mediate between the material and spirit.

The reality of free will is what allows otherness, and from otherness love flows back and forth. Free will is not an accessory to being, something that may or may not exist; free will is essential to being—it allows distinction, and it is why nobody is alone.

I think this is well put. Because we are trained to be inductive, people are pantheist (some quibble panentheist) by default today. Sondheim says: "pretty isn't beautiful / pretty is what changes / what the eye arranges / is what is beautiful"

We switched from “stars” to “influencers” because people don’t believe the stars have influence anymore

If someone gives you clothing you don't like as a gift, wearing it anyway is a selfless act of love.

@lapislagoons What if curiosity was bad? People disagree about everything but this: curiosity is good. But what if it isn't? Curiosity suggests truth is learned rather than known. But when you find something good scrolling, isn't the source of its goodness that you already know it's true?

nobody is an NPC. the label is just shorthand for giving up on the idea that others have depth yes thoughtless mimicry exists and can be called out, but “NPC” discourse erases humanity and flattens people in a condescending, disempowering way

Shakespeare's seven ages of man for a new audience and in a new order ("all the world's a stage"). But is the world a stage? Is life performance? If you believe this world is an imitation of otherworldly forms, that might make sense, but what if in this world God became a man?

While we are experiencing a resurgence of interest and openness to religion, many still, for whatever reason, are repulsed by it. Remember that God is not something that needs to be found or believed; God is the ground of being, and everybody has found God simply by being alive.

The idea that to make great art you must be histrionically depressed and cut off your ear is a lie that should be forgotten.

Nature-loving is not old, but is fruit of the Romantics at end of 18th century. As response to the Enlightenment, it is maybe the beginning of traditionalism. Ancient people participated in nature, didn't conceptualize themselves outside nature, so nature-loving was not possible
