Few minutes ago, one of our analytical contributors deleted his account. Don't know what happened, but hope he will remember: he, his insights into frequencies and symbols, were a true gift to this community.
Until we meet again!

I feel you, bro. Sailed, know. Trying to find purposeful, intense life again, but in every direction I look it's scorched culture and pointlessness.
Well stated fren.
Then the children of the "artists" are forced to learn about war and politics.... then the cycle repeats.
The government puts up as much red tape as possible to stop us from doing things the way we want.
No shit. I tried starting a car sales business with my dad before he passed away. He was stoked about it. So much red tape. We finally got licensed and he passed away soon after. I closed the business before making the first sale. It was just too much bullshit to put up with. And I'm in one of the better states - you can't imagine what it takes to run a car lot up north - NY, Maine, places like that. It's unbelievable the level of shit they deal with from the government.
I'm sure it's great working for yourself, but I could never start my own business for that reason among others.
"It is up to us to construct something new together."
On one level, yes. But that is also the Klaus Schwabian approach.
I would say, we need to acquire a newer, clearer, more refined understanding of the age-old truth: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,' and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself'"
Some folks don't know it, but Jesus was actually quoting Old Testament scripture there. But he manifested it in substance.
The question is: how do we truly love God? Jesus is the only one who ever fulfilled the purpose for which God created him. We need to grasp it on that higher level, and rise to that potential too. It's why Jesus sacrificed himself to open the door to salvation. Salvation isn't the end; it's the beginning. It's the open door to begin restoring ourselves and realizing the purpose for which we are created. (imo)
It ain't just you.
Humanity was created with a purpose. When our predecessors fell in the Garden (however you want to interpret that story), it signified a fall into ignorance. We fell into ignorance about our purpose, and we have been grappling with this ever since.
In stages, the Creator (if you will) has been giving us upgrades and improvements in restoring the knowledge.
Various stages can be identified: Pre-abrahamic (no real understanding of the core of the universe), Abraham to Jesus (monotheism, but relationship with God is master-servant), Jesus to Current (monotheism, but relationship with God is adopted child - adopted parent).
However, while the Jesus to Current Time period is a serious upgrade over the previous stage, it does NOT address many core necessary issues that our God-given intelligence naturally wants to know. Foundational to that is an understanding of Why, How, What for, we are created in a way that harmonizes both our spiritual needs (which is to recover our connection with and unity with God and then each other) with our material needs (a scientifically grounded, logical, reasonable and empirical evidence-backed explanation of the why, the how, etc).
In the heart, we long for reunion with God and with our true selves. And this way was opened by Christ 2000 years ago. But in our minds, we also seek to understand, logically, rationally, why we exist, what for, what purpose? Surely there is more to it than a simple "just have faith".
Faith is a critical and absolutely necessary virtue, but ultimately, individually, and as a race, we need to move from mere faith into knowing. A child believes, an adolescent questions, an adult understand and knows.
Paul verifies this for us: "now we see dimly, as in a mirror; then face to face". When is "the then"?
Logically, we can understand that it is now. Is it a coincidence that biblically, it is approx 2000 (bibical) years from Adam to Abraham, then 2000 years from Abraham until Jesus, and 2000 years from Jesus until Now? Hmmm...
One way to look at the chaos of the 20th and 21st centuries is that we have come to the end of a biblical cycle, and what sustained us for the previous cycle is not now sufficient. We NEED to grasp and understand our purpose on a new, higher level, one that not only lifts our spirit, but one which satisfies the intellect that God created us with in harmony with that.
We're all looking for it. Our original nature will not rest until we find that which satisfies. The only reason that plagues like Schwab can get a toe-hold is that humanity has reached the limits of the previous cycle, and we now need the upgrade. Schwab and company are attempting to insert a fake and false upgrade, taking advantage of the spiritual and intellectual vacuum we began to experience around the 20th century.
If we can recognize the lies, the false nature of that 'vision', we are halfway there. But we need to find the real upgrade, the real meat, the true upgrade God has waiting for us. That upgrade should be able to clarify and reinforce what we know is true so far, but also provide a newer level of understanding.
"Now I know in part; but then shall I know, even as also I am known."
Hmmm. Even Jesus himself pointed to this.
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."
Hmmm...
Although it isn't exactly overt, the scriptures are whispering to us from the past: "Be diligent. be faithful. You will be getting an upgrade in the future. Until then, stay strong.". As I said, it's not overt, but that message is most definitely there.
