  1. "God only knows where ideas come from!" Why? Ideas form themselves by your attention and intention to identify your perceptions!

  2. The artists aren't blazing a trail. Their desire is pure enough to penetrate a truth, that they then are driven to express, or articulate in the form of their art. But that truth is available to all. Imagination is so much more than a "gap filler". Imagination is the seat of spirit, and the only genuinely creative ability we can lay claim to. It is the executor of the truth of our awareness, giving form to our experience of existence. It is the mechanism of operation of the psyche. It is also the One Universal Mind laid bare! Train it to know it!

  3. The liar believes in the illusion of deception...the notion that "falsehood" can be somehow "real". This delusion renders every facet of his existence with a degree of uncertainty, unreliability, deceptiveness. The effect on thinking/knowing is utterly disastrous, as every realization brings a ghost upon its heels, the haunting of the inability to be certain of even one single thing. This must be the beginning state of "anxiety"...a sort of psychological vertigo, where the world of awareness is constantly spinning...though, perhaps, not utterly incoherent in its rotation...

  4. Take the leap, Jordan: metaphysical psychology! Imagination is the unique creative capacity to form the World. Continuously operative, its direction makes every difference! Metaphysical psychology is about providing that direction--deliberately, purposefully, and personally.

  5. You can't know the truth unless you don't CARE what it is! Because, if it makes a difference to you, you'll find a way to make it what you want it to be! Only when you have no stake in the truth can you know what it is. The solution is to displace your desire for a particular "truth" with the pure desire to know the truth, whatever it happens to be, without reservation. That's the only desire that does not compromise the search for truth.

  6. So, tell me, Jordan, what, precisely, is "LOST" should the world destroy itself? Would the Universe be diminished? And...are you sure about that? Is someone who dies, "lost"? Being concerned with the fate of the world indicates a denial of the validity of spiritual evolution; if the spirit evolves then the fate of matter is of relatively minor concern. Else, the world is ALL THAT IS to you, the materialist's "God", so you fear its prospective "loss" very deeply. Interestingly, it's impossible to be both a materialist AND a spiritual evolutionist! Decide! hehehe

  7. Psychologically speaking, you can't eliminate anything--you can only replace it! Nature abhors a vacuum...

  8. Yes, circumambulate a problem without jumping to any solution, until the solution presents itself. The longer you resist the solution, the better the solution will be.

  9. Yeah, alter your definition of God: God is the pinnacle of the greatest hierarchy of Nature. Nature expresses hierarchical organization...Elon Musk is the god of the Tesla corp...If you can manage to conceive of the hierarchy of the universe in its entirety, God is at the peak. So, logically, God exists. But beyond Its existence little more can be simply logically determined, except by prolonged in-depth examination. God is discoverable by Reason, but not easily! hahaha...and it's the endless journey of existence to conduct that examination in every conceivable way.
