Tomorrow, I am leaving the Republican Party, and I am never coming back.

The head of every US household deserves an air-gapped, 100% soundproofed “sanctuary” that they can retreat to for undisturbed restoration, imagination and cognition. If this became the baseline, the country would never look the same. “Leave me the F alone… I’m cooking!”

Is this why I know that The Jacksons had to use a mannequin of Michael Jackson at the end of an obscure 1984 music video, when he decided he didn’t want to show up for the shoot? 😂😅

We need to pass an Internet Bill of Rights so that the internet will stop holding up a mirror to me and showing me the darkest parts of myself in a humorous fashion, for profit. 😂😅

It’s a big problem.

The Man Who Swept the Church Father Andrei arrived in the village with a brilliant thesis and sermons built like cathedrals. Nobody lived in them. He never noticed Nea Vasile, the bent old man who swept the church and sang half a beat behind the choir. Once, when Vasile spilled the censer coals, Andrei said with a thin smile: "Perhaps we can leave the liturgical tasks to people who understand them." "Forgive me, Father," the old man said, and went back to his broom. Meanwhile, plain envelopes began appearing in the collection box. Each held money and a name in block capitals: FOR THE WIDOW MARIA, FOR HER FIREWOOD. Andrei publicly thanked "a man of standing," glancing at the mayor. The mayor lowered his eyes and corrected no one. Then Andrei and his wife lost their baby in the fifth month. The man who could explain prayer in three languages could not pray. At three in the morning he walked to the church. One candle burned. Vasile was kneeling, reading names from a worn notebook: "Remember Maria and her cold house. Remember Father Andrei and his wife Ioana. And receive the little one who did not see the light into Your arms, where it is warm." Andrei fell against the old man's shoulder and wept. "I had a boy once," Vasile said. "He drowned at seven. I am a small man. I cannot do big things. So I do small things for everyone, and I say their names to God, because maybe nobody else does." Six weeks later, Vasile died in his chair. In his drawer were eleven notebooks holding forty years of names, his pension receipts, and a stack of white envelopes. On the page dated the week Andrei arrived: FATHER ANDREI. VERY CLEVER. LORD, GIVE HIM A HEART AS BIG AS HIS HEAD. On the last page: TELL THE PRIEST NOT TO SAY MY NAME. THE MONEY WAS GOD'S. I ONLY CARRIED IT. At the funeral, the church overflowed. Andrei had written nothing. "For three years I preached to you about God," he said. "For forty years, this man spoke to God about you. I was his priest. He was my father. I did not know it until he was gone." Then he bowed to the ground before an old man with a broom. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) Pride always looks down, so it never sees who stands above it. Andrei still sweeps that church every dawn. Then he opens a notebook of his own. The first name reads: VASILE. WHO CARRIED IT. Who was the hidden Vasile in your life?

Never.

Sometimes it is good to say the prayer, 'Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me', out loud so that you hear it with your ears. We are body and soul and there is interaction between the two. But when you have fallen in love with Christ you prefer silence and spiritual prayer. Then words cease. It is inner silence that precedes, accompanies and follows the divine visitation, the divine union and comingling of the soul with the divine. When you find yourself in this state, words are not needed. This is something you experience, something that cannot be explained. Only the person who experiences this state understands it. The sense of love floods through you and unites you with Christ. You are filled with joy and exultation which shows that you have the divine, perfect love within you. Divine love is selfless, simple and true. St Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

Amen. Lord have mercy.

Bro is single handedly going to wreck the IPO… 😂😂🔥

"In contrast to human and demonic pride, Orthodoxy represents humility; in contrast to human and demonic hatred, Orthodoxy represents love; in contrast to tangled opinions and teachings, Orthodoxy represents simplicity; in contrast to sloth, work; in contrast to the bondage of the passions, self-restraint, dispassion, and freedom; in contrast to human wickedness, goodness and humaneness; in contrast to faults, forgiveness; in contrast to oppressions and injustices, patience and justice; in contrast to angers, enmities, quarrels, and wars, peace - thus all spiritual powers, virtues, and soul-saving truths that bring joy, progress, and happiness." Saint Martyr Priest Ilarion Felea

A capped dollar, backed by a public estate, with visible fiscal cost: 1. A constitutional resource trust holds a declared slice of U.S. natural wealth. Independent appraisal (surveys including GPR, plus engineering and market prices) sets a ceiling. T-bills outstanding stay at or below that ceiling. Title stays public; bills are not convertible into acres. 2. Chartered stablecoins hold those short bills (and Treasury repo) 1:1. Holder APY = last auction yield minus a capped spread. No duration reach. 3. Balanced-budget amendment. Taxes and royalties pay government and the bill discount. Congress must vote any net increase in the bill stock. 4. If AI and robotics cheapen real output faster than issuance, the dollar’s purchasing power rises. That is the saver’s raise. The coin does not have to promise 6%. 5. Universal Passive Income derived from the public’s valuable data is paid by AI companies that use it for training - fills the unemployment gap created by AI/robotics

Re: My Spirituality I go about my spiritual practice as a journey of enlightenment (i.e. I am always seeking, my glass will never be full.) But if i had to classify myself, I would say: I am a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. A “Fisher of Men” I grew up in a non-denominational Christian church, which I still attend from time to time. I am very much a believer in being part of a church community - even if you don’t agree with every single one of their doctrines. Because fellowship and community is a critical biological need of every human being. And many churches have great energy. I have a different conception of Christ than the church I attend does. To me, Jesus is ISA (that was his original name in his native language). And he had quite a life. Our bible contains stories about the beginning and end of his life. But it doesn’t talk much about the middle. I don’t have hard proof of this at the moment, it’s just my current assessment based on what I’ve seen. What I’ve seen seems to indicate that Jesus was a Jewish Mystic who studied all of most profound topics. The preponderance of the evidence (that I have seen so far) indicates that he studied at the Egyptian Mystery Schools, and travelled as far as Tibet. Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen. And I intend to use all of the tools and gadgets at my disposal to find out. I’m never going to force anyone to adopt my view. I’m just going to lay out the data points and let everyone decide for themselves. If you want to stick to a traditional understanding of Christ, I absolutely support your right to do that. And I will never attempt to interfere. My mother is a devout Christian with a traditional interpretation, and I love my mother dearly so I would never let anyone (or anything) do anything unnatural to disturb that. Your faith is your own. And it always will be. Because your faith is your personal connection with the omnipresent supersentience that created the universe. You develop your own vernacular with your creator, whatever works best for you. I personally find Christ to be the best model for developing a genuine spiritual connection, but if you are on another path, that is between you and God. Just know that if the primary foundation of your faith is pageantry, and cosplay, and rules - instead of a telepathic connection with the divine - you probably aren’t doing it right. And so it’s probably not going to work as well for you. Just my opinion. For whatever that’s worth. I know that sounds exotic, but hopefully everybody feels like that’s a fair compromise. Because it is WAY BETTER than the fake Jesus paradigm these psychos originally wanted us to do! Also, I don’t want to violate the Bible. I just want all the books they took out back, and i want it translated correctly. Because to me, when it’s translated correctly, it’s way more profound. That’s just my personal opinion. Everyone is free to keep whatever translation they want. I just thought i would show you what i mean here so you can decide for yourself what’s best for you and your family. Because that’s between you and God. Not you and the government.

When? @NickJFuentes @AustinSteinbart 🚀
