Just because questioning God is forbidden, doesn't mean to say I cannot question him.  It just means that the alternative - to question him, will be a less cosy place for me. Remembering, that thought created an image of the world - of my god, my master, my ideology. This image made a cosy place for me to rest my weary head.  The image thought created, which I now call for example - god, is a cosy image for me to dwell on, and escape from a difficult reality. But if I decide to question him I will suddenly be removed from that cosy place - the image of god which thought created and I now worship, will evaporate.  I will have crossed a new kind of frontier and entered a forbidden zone - the undiscovered country.   Suddenly I will find myself facing reality for the first time since thought created this image of the world for me.  My old master, to whom I used to be a willing slave, will be no more.

Do I love the people I want to help or save?  If I do not love them, how can I help them? I cannot help them if I don't love them.  Because if I don't love them I won't be able to forgive them for taking the bread that I've given them. So if I want to help people or save the world in any way whatsoever the first thing I have to be able to do, is to love them.  And if I don't love them, there is no point in trying to help them because I will not be able to forgive them for taking the bread. You see, I am in the habit of using wealth, as in 'bread', as a poor substitute for love. I will give wealth, imagining it is love. So the tendency will be for me to resent them or worse, exploit them, without being consciously aware of that action.  I will resent them taking the bread, because it is earned and owned. If I have not managed to love them, if they take it, I will resent them for it. Or I will find a way to exploit them to get payback.  But love has no concept...

This isn't an ancient thing. It prevails today more intensely than it has ever done.  This is not an opinion. It is observed. I can see it happening all the time right in front of my face. It's one of the only important things I know, that I know. This observation is simple for me to test: that is, can I question my master without fear of retribution? If I cannot, clearly I have a master and I am his slave. And I know I'm forbidden from questioning my master. It is another thing that I know, that I know. I know I will never properly do it. This is not the only test. But it is a simple one I can induce immediately and be certain of. And the cause and effect might well be driven by collective psychic forces - by 'the mob' or a perceived one. Whether it be a god, the state or an ideology, it's all the same. I want a master to rule me and to protect me. More than anything else I want this. More than I do to receive love, and to give it.  This is observed with great ...

This is how things will play out in simple terms: Against all economic theory, against all negative expectations, against President Trump, his tariff strategy, which is to force nations into negotiating tariffs toward zero everywhere, this strategy or something proximate yet caused by it, will deliver a huge increase in global productive power. Most importantly in America herself.  What happens to economies when they are given a spectacular labour saving device or an improvement in government efficiency or reduction in taxation as the tariff will deliver in this case, in spite of it being so unlikely and no one expecting it to work? Land values rise everywhere, especially where the gains of this new productivity emerge. What is more, the speculation in these land value earnings - rent, will drive demand for even higher 'capital' gains in the selling price of it. Into a mania where we all start to believe the price will keep rising forever. Everyone will buy in, especially the b...

I'm going to talk about Being Seen and the Planet Saver archetype that I've created, and I allow to rule me. I have a lifelong and urgent need to Be Seen by the world, as saving it. Or saving the poor. Or helping victims I will never need to meet.  I do not want to do any of things that must be done to save any of it. I do not care about the world, the poor, or war victims. What I care about is Being Seen to be saving the world. Being seen. By Being Seen, I mean I want people to watch me as I pretend to save the world. I want the glory that I might be able to steal by Being Seen. Maybe even a seat on the right hand side of God. A kind of psychic rent seeking. I am not conscious of myself doing this. But it does drive everything I do. Everything. This Being Seen, is my world. I created it. It belongs to me. I created this image of the world where I'm seen to be saving it. It's a cosy and precious place for me to live. I will guard it with my life. And I will make sacrifi...

And proceeds to spout a false narrative  So weird.  It is almost conscious that it is forbidden from going to the root.  https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_c4a19387-58e8-4592-b845-27d113e9ec3a

I posit that leadership quality has declined significantly since women gained a transfer of power.  This may be coincidence. I'm just pointing it out.
