 Perspective is everything; if pride wasn’t the barrier for conducting healthier, fruitful conversations online! https://image.nostr.build/59a229e3ead4900d5653d43d595e02ead48652368649a65b8e11397a6fc2a8df.jpg  
 You know what’s fun? Living in constant scrutiny like Yoko and John Lennon! To be left alone for just a day, not two! One… 
 There are two forms of insanity, and two cures. Both follow guilt, Judas Iscariot, and the other, towards God/your higher (perfect) self, when wrong. God is love, and king David sets a great example, when He couldn’t see any fault in his children, including the one who raped the sister, to another who killed the first brother in vengeance of the fore-mentioned crime, then turned the city against the father, and also planned a coup. 


That love, is very warming, and reassuring, as God loves us all. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” 


Society has thus evolved to make humans hate themselves, and not the sin, hampering efforts of growing, and dragging on gradually, into the self-loathing “in your mind,” hiccup that leads to non-forgiveness, as in Iscariot’s case. We aren’t perfect, but strive to be. Mental health is a lie, pushed to a generation of people dumbed down to believe every other thing. Sure, genetics can have a reoccurrence of actual insanity, but quite rare, and these people find peace in those asylums, as that is all that is needed in life. Assurance in oneself. Like me, I’d delete and recreate a whole account, because of a typo! Being in the present moment, is where it’s all about, baby! This is where God is. One sense that helps mostly, is listening, as that constantly changes. Whether indoors, or outside, no experience is the same, that is, what you saw yesterday, isn’t what you see the next day. A bird flying east, a wilting houseplant, a car turning left… e.t.c. 

The point is: the mind can be your best, or worst asset. To store in new memories, and rush to remember something, or actually tell yourself a lie, digest, believe, and delve in TRYING to control stuff, which never amounts to anything. You are perfect, and complete! We shouldn’t compare ourselves with others, especially in this case on such a platform. There’s no freedom in allowing content that makes one feel wild, yet disallow other, that’s considered controlled. That’s denying censorship, whilst doing exactly that! We don’t have to agree with each other, but it doesn’t mean that anyone should feel less human, or afraid of being themselves. Post what you want, e.g. you @TatumTurnUp, and everyone else. I’m not a blueprint, and only following my heart in a personal journey. 
 “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” 
 The revolution will not be televised because it isn’t anything understandable to man. Why? Because God is the revolution, and ultimately, the unseen truth. The only true victory, is that of God, and unshakeable faith. Everything done in secret will come to light, thus do not lie to yourself that there is permanence in anything. If you’re sensitive to podcasts, the attached sermon’s website prints out the precise transcript, and is dessert for the eyes. There’s a certain fear of a firm, unshakable belief in the Maker, even while the proof is in all the times we’re rescued from something beyond ourselves, yet evolutionists claim it to be an urge to survival. There’s a whole lot more they cannot, nor ever will answer, since the vastness of God universally is unthinkable. More so, the reality of the unexplainable! When you (reader), and I encounter these religious posts on #nostr , it is a reminder of an all loving, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and incorruptible guard-guide, that goes ahead of us, fights our battles, and aligns our steps. It’s inevitable, and feels like this:

 There is an endless void inside man, that CAN’T be filled with anything (tangible), but God (abstract). Wisdom, and understanding, are worth more than wealth/“Hevel.” Christianity is practice, and becomes a personal experience! - God’s timing is best, and inner peace is golden. 
 It takes, and should, time, to share content, especially the written, with others; because truth, takes a while to experience, judge to be actuality, and digest, before eloquent sharing. Other than that, it’s a not well thought out, unrequited need to express/reach out, - in opinion form! It is written: “When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains their lips is prudent.” Luckily, there’s the Universe section on Damus, for everyone on here to learn, and the best way, is to observe others in action. 
 This post is to welcome #Reddit people, and others to #nostr , and the #future, which is the present, soon to be the past, that ultimately, is for #truth, statements, #facts, and less of opinions - lest they float away with the current of time. The #community here is a little otherworldly; with the memery, hedonism, and orange-purple posts, but I understand that redditors are a sophisticated group, or so they have a reputation, or make themselves to be! :) 

Eventually you’ll get used to it, and scroll on through the important stuff, past the murk of vile humor? It is what it is, as one cannot understand what people go through, and why they choose different methods of self-expression. With time, wine ages, not so much can be said for this crowd. ;-) 
 Perspective and positive thinking are siblings. Working on sugarcoating posts. 
 How to break the wheel? On the origin of oppressive governments, and why God allows them. God is love, fair in all outcomes, good all the time, and never to blame! 


A brief continuation of my first post. Consider Satan and his minions, in that “hidden,” realm, contrasted with ungrounded, simple minded weak man, not rooted in some sort of belief. It’s important, actually, that most here be themselves. How do I put this? A parasite within a plant, using the host to achieve its purpose, which is carrying on, unknowingly. There’s no position of power, to fight. So, “those in power,” cannot confuse the ones fighting the seen/known enemy, preferably without naming, but doing. That gives us a point too: we are not fighting others, but ourselves, regardless, and as hard as it seems, doesn’t it happen to the best of us? Where we feel emotionally flustered, and blame others? 


Second, one who isn’t aware, adds to the totality of the system that they confess to oppose. That is, weak enough, thus becoming a tool for that same oppressive operation! One cannot fight hatred with hatred, (because if I use fire, that’s scientifically false) but, only love drives out hatred. Isn’t it sad then, to run such spirited fights, only to aid the oppressors? There are no shortcuts. 


Biblically, before king David, Solomon, Saul, Israel was ruled by God, and judges solved matters. Then, to fulfil the scriptures, that man does something in competition with those close by, they looked at their neighbors, and decided… “Hmm, we could use human leaders, as kings over us, too, as our overlords.” God, through Samuel warned them, and us: ‘they will take your money, and openly oppress you.’ (1st Samuel!) Why? The choice of freewill is abused, and many use it as a tool to live in a “free world,” but free of what? The same leaders, don’t call upon the one and only God, to help/advise them, thus in their own right create chaos, only to realize that there is one way out at the end. Thus, the system goes on, and rightly, God allows it. 


So, #nostr, how do the people fight winning battles against the unperceived? Collectively, calling unto, and living rightly with God. In Genesis, people started calling unto God, around Noah’s time. Before that, there was no need for prayer, men/women just lived, aligning themself with that which already is inside them (order); and this is the equivalent of understanding God/His wonderful nature. Also, realizing that the enemy isn’t human, or anything on the planet, so, not venting our frustration outwards, but inwards. Non-censorship, and a community like this, doesn’t mean the freedom is here. There’s more victories, than one of #Bitcoin  not being taken down. For us, and the coming generations, who cannot see what those in the 2010’s, and before saw, or for that matter, what we see. Otherwise, the enemy, and #fiat system grows stronger still. 
 How can one fight that which they cannot perceive? It’s funny, to know today, that Job wasn’t aware of Satan’s attack on him, when it was happening. Unless one is constantly drawn to God, it’s easy to forget this continuous flow of the book of life that never ends, which we all are sharing a part of, at the same time, currently. Having personally verified the actuality of God, and the devil, helps draw a conclusion similar to that of the critic’s in Ecclesiastes: that nothing without God can succeed. https://image.nostr.build/c2d1e71cf843f8cc34f51e67d7d9438f8b3d79b65088642622b1e8667821f623.jpg
