  1. "Remnant" is another example of the "last person standing wins" attitude in The Way.
  2. The Way called it the "already renewed mind" . . . Or something that sounded like that. Yes it sounded like you were trapped in a TWIG-face for eternity. So that can't be a new concept.
  3. You mean marionette. Remember how Pinocchio gave up his freedom by giving up an apple from his father? He ended up singing and dancing about how he had no strings.
  4. His class was PFAL. LFAL wouldn't do. Acceptance of lies, sign on the line, in exchange for piece on the monopoly board.
  5. Gnostic gnomes know that they know, in short and to the point. Victor was no authority. He sold Power. It is a great principle.
  6. The example used here is Victor. Victim won't question Victor because quoting Victor gives Victim victories in the context Victor's fantasy world. There's a mutual benefit there. The currency here, is yes, believing.
  7. Works for Deadpool. Gifts of Healing doesn't slow him down.
  8. Fowl language. The fourth wall being no hedge of protection.
  9. Sounds like this was a clear case of imprinting. A genetive case on the mind.
  10. While we always want to go back to the original intent, we're always learning and growing. So even when we're wrong, we're right, it's a walk, not a crawl, we're not giving the runaround in these two ways about it. That's why there's pFALT. That's Power to a fault, because want more logs on those babbling tongues of fire. Those snowballs don't stand a chance now, rice?
  11. See, you've put man-made cat-ergories on things. The animal kingdom makes a distinction of things that belong to it, and things that belong in a neighboring kingdom. That's why you treat your neighbor like a king. The plant kingdom was eaten of, and you can see how it all fell to pieces.
  12. ah, but the dead know not any-thing, or 2. It's the cycle of logic. We could Work the Word, we would if we could. Or believe and deceive, that we might thieve with a sieve. There are no holes in these bowls, of mercy. So wing this thing like gloves on a duck and save them from the muck and the mire before they expire.
  13. Stopping believing assumes one started believing. That's how the Emperor dressed.
  14. Belief is meaningless. Right? I mean if nobody knows than any lie goes. Gods vary . . . above . . . China and Korea and VPW . . . they operated from the top down. Here . . . worship this . . . do as your told. Isn't that ducky? Another means is more bottom up . . . everyone independently happens to be doing similar things and it just sort of merges together as they all interact.
  15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_behavior_in_animals The elephants seeking the dead is interesting. The bit about the bonobos at the bottom is missing some relevant details. That's a funny subject . . . and has more to do with the beginning than the end.
  16. Apparently you can teach ducks to like humans by showing them pictures of other ducks playing with humans. Ducks can imprint on creatures that are not their mother. Ducks should know they are being played. Believing is ego inflation. But we don't use "I'm going to ego inflate until I get what I want now". We use softer language to hide it. Belief is a similar nonsense word we all use.
  17. Well we've gone into being dead. You are born when you start believing? This glove is missing a finger. The other has a few extra. They know that they know that they don't know what the other is doing. Pretty sure none of use believed a thing to get here. Don't even have to know what believing in all its vaguery means. Don't have to know that you know that you don't know. You just are. But now that you are, now what?
  18. Forgive me as I am trying to track. Belief seems non-specific. Is it a thing? A number of related things? A thing that is a thing sometimes but not others? As real and true are two different things. And now faith is word spelled differently than belief. That's why we crossed it out and wrote believing. God is a word as well that means different things at different times. Now a cult generally requires a person, which is real, to lead. Some more people to follow, and these folks are also decided to be real. The leading and the following . . . are they together with or distinctly independent of . . .mutually exclusive of the thing they are doing? Or are these words misleading in the first place? The cult person leading of course has a personality. A personality has a definition . . . which is a description to describe its meaning. The followers take on that personality together with, and yet not so much distinctly independent of, each other. In all this is THE thing.
  19. I agree they would . . . think of something. I personally have asked for decades what belief even is. Is it trust? Is it a decision? What are we even talking about? . . . The word has little meaning sometimes. People identify with Victor Paul Wierwille. He is part of who they are. An attack on him or his "work" is an attack on them. Just for fun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping's_cult_of_personality
  20. China. I believe "cult of personality" is a common phrase in reference Xi Jinping at this time.
  21. I don't think TWI ever convinced anyone the beliefs are sound. It was a battle of wills. The stick that stands up is pounded down. If they hit you with a stick, they didn't stop until you hit them back.
  22. China tears up your passport. The state uses social media to influence behavior. They also have these YouTube videos of people praising China and mocking very specific individuals in The West. It's hilarious watching how scripted the emotions are. They basically show up at your door one day with a camera and some threats and say "read this". That's maybe 1.4 billion people, but it's now understood China has even been making those numbers up. It's probably overestimated by over 100 million people. Still bigger than all cults combined.
  23. Zoning laws have contributed to our reliance on motor vehicles. Not like most people live next to the grocery store. Or their job. Drones are cool. When they're dropping off groceries and not bombs.
  24. Matthew calls them snakes and says they are dead inside. Must be very old concepts.
