Loving God and neighbour, Kimmio, means being a Good Samaritan, and resisting greed and violence. It’s about embodying Christ’s love in everyday actions.

Human rights and justice are kingdom values written into our conscience.

The Holy Spirit nudges us to “course correct,” as you put it. That’s grace at work.

Keep walking in love, Kimmio. Keep seeking peace. Keep remembering that our unity in Christ's both a gift and a calling

What will we do with the folk that believe they are better than us and thus base characterizations? Does that separate the base from the elite?

Seems like sheer chaos in the great storm of divisiveness ... I once saw that coming over and arid flatland ... what a waste ...

The Holy Spirit, Luce, calls us to be peacemakers. To anchor ourselves in humility and love.

God brings living water.

Our call's to embody Christ’s humility, serving one another and trusting that the Lord will bring fruit in His time.

Let's ask, Luce, “how can we pray for people, and for ourselves too?” That shift plants reconciliation seeds
 
Could we call that subtle and not looking for top position on the column?

Sometimes very deep in the pool ... and simulating a light bottom-line approach like fete wash ... this may occur at the foot of mountains. Do not go there by ancient guidelines that declared mountains dangerous ... there could be Yetti there ...
 
Is a Holy Spirit thoroughly emptied like some clouds ... when you get in them there is a sphere of clarity ... arranged for thunder gods to see where they are ...

Some science needed for observation ... as there are observational needs to science ... no blinding scams! Like some peace plans around the world ... why some spirits are inclined to leave earth on departure ... it is just how it goes ...

There are old stories on this kind of topic that becomes subjective ... that is to say under thumb ...
 
I’m looking forward to when Avi Lewis gets elected PM. It’ll be an opportunity to move in a better direction. If it can change for the worse it can also change for the better.
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” - The Gulag Archipelago.

Socialist ideals in the Soviet Union led to widespread suffering, arbitrary power, and loss of freedoms.

History does not favor major expansions of state control kindly AFAIK

Why does it have to be the same, going forward? Can’t we come up with something new? Capitalism is driving ourselves to extinction, and libertarianism is turning out to be a directionless mess leading to a lot of harm, causing marginalization of vulnerable people groups, while empowering more destructive capitalism and conflict over ownership of resources - with might makes right attitudes.

In a world where desire overrides intelligence ... it means the latter is on the fringe ... kind of out there and right now with our controlling moods we cannot get on top of what's under suspicion because of a certain blindness. Quick moods ...

This is obviously a hidden quality in humanity ... a no stick thing that runs off into the arid lands ... like no man you could ever accept ...

I do take "m'n" as an unsexed item ... a mean until pained ... mortals separate them from the populace ... turning them into an object of desire ... and thus the great mystery wished them returned to where they we sourced from ... so they go ... where? This is not allowed under great authority for logic that should remain under cover as covenanted ... it is a literary closure thing! Thus the isolation of terminals of what's lied out there in essence ... a stinking atmos*phere ... heavenly story if you are beyond such things and not at the decomposing base ... here accusations get turned around during communication and intercourse wile something new is re nude ... stripped of the former cover ... nudies or naughtier? Entangled ...

In short in life just so much rot? Confidence may speak to you of this as a confident person you can overcome what dribbles down by suspicious means ... the peddling of souls? There was a blog recently about how NB fortunes were tied to corruption in Saint John in the 1700-1800's as common elsewhere where poor people labored for rich reasons to logistics that didn't favour the base ... thus collapse was inevitable ... so it all comes down in the end ... because atmos goes round ... often unstable because of powerful input from meddling ... and thus addled ... something that everything needed a place to put it! It is really something to see from out there ... it happens during darker times ... when thoughts are extracted by mysterious factors ...

Is there anything more mysterious than where thought and intelligence goes in the dark of night? Therein the source of occult perspectives ... shadowed by confidence men that have too much of it ... something must enter to break that factor ... the great unknown explodes ... exponential growth to overcome all that was previously known ... isn't that stupid and a way to contain the earth by confining factors that are clearly transparent ... arid? Why the sphere is the way it is at great height ... rather dry ... due to the chill a certain fallout ... and the damping of life as it is! Is dampening a way to cool moods in Moody Rivers? How emotions flow about ... in between immersion points ... fords? Here there may be ferries to harp upon ...

Whatever people will bitch about things until they discover a way out ... there the end of the track! It appears to come together at the horizon but that is an illusion ... due to the drawing power that is beyond us ... mystical? I'd say ... and we'll see as time for the approach comes by ... an airy concern that may enter one ear and out the other ...

It is suspected that much of the forgoing is intangible as it just isn't observed in proper light ... resulting in feelings of suspicion that there's more ... and thus it goes on ... out of sight! Why there are mean moors in Celt lands where bog people get lodged ... due to miasma they amuse themselves with whatever is familiar ... like the creation of wee little lambs in the dark? Sparks ... with some fluff ... the fire grows ... then cotton came along if you can cotton to such advances ... to previous boring myths ...

Is waiting for Avi Lewis to become PM of Canada your idea of something new?
Something different. A placeholder before a step forward? Or a start of something better?

I don’t know. I don’t have all the answers. It’s just a hope for something better. Putting goal out there, if nobody wants that it remains my hope alone? I’m taking a break and I’m tired of debating for now.
Tired of how ridiculously self-defeating the world and everyone in it is.

Avi is definitely different from the current lot, including the current NDP, and is kind of refreshing that way. However, for those of us who have been around for a while, he comes across as a bit of throwback to his father's era, though with more focus on the environment (which is what might get my interest, given the Greens are kind of moribund right now).
 
Another Ai written story. I put the parameters in, it came up with this:

The Era of Full-Spectrum Well-Being
By 2060, the global landscape reflected this deep internal shift. Peace was no longer just the absence of war; it was the presence of comprehensive psychological, mental, and physical safety.
  • The Right to Recess: Universal Basic Income was paired with "Healing Sabbaticals," allowing individuals periods of total withdrawal from productivity to heal from generational trauma, manage acute mental illness, or adapt to changes in physical health.
  • Universal Kinetic Design: Cities and digital spaces achieved total physical accessibility. Public infrastructure adapted dynamically to any physical disability, ensuring the right to move freely was effortless and dignified for every body type.
  • Integrative Mental Health Landscapes: Chronic mental illness was destigmatized and supported through lifelong, fully funded therapeutic ecosystems. Society stopped demanding a "cure" and instead provided continuous, unconditional support networks.
  • Adaptive Workspaces: Global labor networks transitioned to asynchronous, sensory-tailored, and physically adaptive environments, letting neurodivergent minds and diverse bodies thrive on their own terms.
  • De-escalation Networks: Communities replaced punitive policing with trauma-informed mediation teams, ensuring mental health crises were met with medical and emotional de-escalation rather than force
 
Huxley already wrote that tale:

In Brave New World "A gramme is always better than a damn" is the slogan promoting soma.

The perfect drug that delivers instant happiness and erases negative feelings.

This embodies the society's core value:

Prioritizing engineered contentment and stability above authentic experience, reality, or personal growth.

Pleasure and safety eliminate suffering but also purpose, art, and individuality.

What reads as compassionate progress is the dystopia Huxley warned against.

Stability through pacification, trading human struggle for passive contentment.

I'd rather remain a Savage.

One of the books I remember more vividly.

I’d like a world with positive challenges striving toward equality. Otherwise it’s just bitching for the sake of bitching and nothing gets resolved - then we’re just thriving on conflict which is more self-destruction. The world is destroying itself. I’m not in favour of somatization as a solution either. Challenging cooperation is preferable, instead of damaging conflict. It doesn’t make sense to continue on that path, and yet we do. We are our own worst enemies.

Equality or equity?

Equality implies that a pregnant woman or a disabled person has to carry bricks up a ladder.

Equity means catering to each person's specific physical or mental needs.
I see equity as a means to achieving true equality potential. Human beings are inherently equal, but we aren’t all born with the same advantages so we need to practice equity to create real equality.
 
Kahlil Gibran:
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant but not said , most of love is lost .


Things to read while I take a break. All the best.

Some parting pondering for you.

Wise duck listens to still small voice.

Monkey who swings from every new idea… ends up tangled in vines of confusion.

May your pond be peaceful, your feathers dry, and your enemies stuck in yesterday’s algae.

I have been fascinated by some things that are put to print (or word if you will) like definitions of utility as something being all around useful to all ... and yet knowledge seems to be part of that care giving (love?) that we deal with without even the process of thinking. Then some cares go too far one way or the other and with random computation and comprehension of things we didn't wish to utilize ... there it went!

Now the idea of care in the world full of stray intelligence would baffle those that put off care of the other aside as they tend to go overboard with setting things aside to think about ... thus nothing comes to mind as it was all disposed of ... especially by those having so much fun seeing their neighbors pained to death ... the kind of things that drove the Roman Circus to suspend bodies to decompose along the way ... physical deconstruction? I'm told that the powers were directed more towards things of knowledge and wisdom ... possibly for the purpose of ridding themselves of thought that irritates? That'd often be the person adjacent ... leaving us as our own worst neighbor.

Did Jeremy Bentham talk about unconscious thoughts as a grand utility so that some things could be done by habit ... some nobles would claim that a useless thought for their construction of crushing empires ... is it best not to know what you use and abuse?

Thus survival develops into a thin line like a thing hanging from a branch from which swells as exposed to light and other unknown internal processes that support other life. If fortunate in the dark you can slip away unnoticed and virtually ... no one will look because the dark hides unknowns that could be utilized but there are consequences.

If we considered what isn't known might be better utilized if known ... would that knowledge be functionable to offset fears of it? Like if we know the faults of a lot of loud folk ... could it be quieting of the advantageous aspect? We could roll the thing in a carpet and bury it ... and thus more hidden prodigal ... as material proliferates is there more to question as waste?

It is just how it goes until another empire collapses. You can almost smell it on the air ... if you contemplate what flies ... unbelievable? Things smoldering in the undergrowth ... those immune to comprehension tend to rage about what the collective doesn't know ... and yet they cannot gather because of social limitations and random distribution of what was ill disposed ...

In the meantime it may be best to walk away from development so you can view your future of vegetating ... and things that could be set aside for de processing ...

The next round of growth could be really smelly giving the direction we appear to be headed as virtual incarnate social order preparing for the future dissemination ... should we face it? Imagine the evaluations by a domain devoid of weighty bias ... ethereal? Just like that nothing develops and is gone before you know it ...
