  1. It is not easy to accept that you may not have the capacity to know when you are wrong.
  2. I also don't have discussion with people whose logic is internally inconsistent. You may want to ask the other members to explain an internal logical inconsistency. Cynique is more likely to engage you than I.
  3. @Cyniqueif possible try one that has the same quality but different times. The effect is the same but the feeling is different. This will highlight that time is unique yet similar .
  4. @Cynique here are some for you to try out. If you think of an effect or state that you would like to try let me know. Nov 1 7:27:06 am This one will make you feel expansive. Oct 31 6:02:20 pm This one will make you feel expansive. Nov 1 2:08:21 pm This one has an otherworldly quality Nov 4 1:30:00 pm This one has an otherworldly quality Nov 2 10:52:12 am The occult or hidden becomes more visible Nov 3 2:36:17 pm This one is good for understanding Nov 1 3:51:00 pm This one will show you connections between concepts, that aren't obvious Nov 5 8:31:27 am This one will show you connections between concepts, that aren't obvious Nov 5 9:19:41 am This one show how groups of things or concepts are related Nov 6 10:47:08 am This one you dissolves boundaries and will assist you to see beyond the surface.
  5. Will work up some times for you shortly
  6. It is difficult for a person who reasons from experience to understand abstract concepts. Something being outside of your experience does not negate its existence. It took Cynique said that Pioneer doesn't think in the abstract. It hadn't occurred to me that people couldn't think conceptually. I thank you @Cynique for that pearl. I have very low to no expectation of concrete thinkers understanding, what to them are foreign concepts
  7. Administrators 11.3k Posted July 19 Following statement and countless others. the presumption here was that the maltreatment of Black people is universal. You are willing to accept this as axiomatic rejecting the experiences of a Black man who has, presumably, been there.
  8. maybe go back and watch the last 9 minutes

  10. Her Grandfather was a Black composer and she performs his compositions. It's a talent to be able to communicate effectively to a diverse audience .
  11. My ideal job is doing readings remotely . All I need is a laptop and a communication link. I have a growing body of clients who I have never physically met.
  12. Circa 1997 I told a friend time will speed up in the future . I had no further details or explanation. I believe time or rather the passage of time has quickened. I sense pervasive apprehension , fear and perhaps desperation. There appears to be cracks in the system that are both existential and mundane. I am not certain which of the following are most pernicious : self interest ; incompetence ; ignorance or lack of awareness . Jupiter has different titles and qualities : Guru ; Divine Retribution for hubris; understanding and expansion. I will provide you a week long tasting menu of Jupiter's qualities .
  13. It isn't an easily understood concept. In addition I am too intimately involved to explain, a practical application of an abstraction of temporal dimensions ..
  14. @Cynique does this make sense? I think it is a bit clearer plus the example may be less convoluted.
  15. Not exactly. We can decide how we move through space. We can't change the rate or the direction we move through time. However I have found that time has signatures. And we can choose when to start and this has an effect on the experience. For instance some days nothing works, you say you got up on the wrong side of the bed. There seems to be a daisy chain of bad luck. So my thought is that when you decide to start has a bearing on the outcome. I am finding ways to choose the best time for the optimal results of both internal and external states. What I am suggesting is we can choose the moment of time because , I have mapped the quality of time.
  16. Really listening is a skill.
  17. I am focusing on having less pointless two sided monologues. Interesting so far
  18. Astrology isn't the study of time but rather the spatial position of various bodies at various points in time. Which isn't quite the same thing as time. What I am currently testing is time. Since a planetary in fact all zodiacal position can be expressed as time. So instead of the Zodiacal circle. I am studying the circle (spiral) of time.
  19. Time and Space or rather Spacetime comprises the fabric of our world. And although they have distinct contours we have an easier time thinking and describing Space. Time is analogous to Space. The same adjectives we apply to space can be applied to time. It just requires a change in perspective. Which although it sounds foreign is something that we do both intuitively and unconsciously. If a person is like a fish out of water, we say they were born in the wrong time. When we are in the state of flow time seems to disappear or subject and object merge. We even can say a landscape is majestic, beautiful and other things. We have a harder time with Time since it is intangible. The physical world doesn't exist as we perceive it. In addition the brain is a chemical and electric processor. As an aside I find it interesting that a lot of information is visual yet the brain is literally in the dark. I have found a way to not only objectively describe time both past and future. This information can also be used to assist the querent in creating the the environment that is more conducive to their ideals.
  20. @Cyniqueyour generosity knows no bounds.
  21. Even the insults were tasty. @Cyniqueyou have all the time in your world. Fare thee well, Mr Neptune.
  22. Yes and it won't be pretty. The US has always had pockets that were like emerging countries (aka third world). No it's more like pants. There is a lot of desperation since people are becoming aware that their way of life is threatened. Even some Billionaires are feeling this pressure, hence the pledge to give away their wealth either before they die or after. While this pledge may be more publicity than reality it does speak to the fear of the peasants storming the castle.
  23. Won't matter the victims were race traitors
