Vanilla Christ is back with solid advice on nutrition, physical fitness, the dangers of oxycodone addiction, and even YOLOing a bit on Metaverse Earth ...

Word!

p.s.: i may be wrong, but i think i spotted bpcw in the crowd ...
Ha ha, how could anyone resist becoming a believer watching that performance! :mrgreen:

Here's a couple of nice videos for you Yodean:

Thanks for the clips, but doubtful they're about me.

I don't consider myself rich in wealth terms, only in Ninjedi terms. :lol:

The first video is a bit of a twist on an old story about a fisherman in a boat who was asked about whether he wanted to expand his business (fishing). He refused since he would end up exactly the same - fishing leisurely with one boat.

As for the second clip, I've already told my wife that I want to be cremated, so it's unlikely I'll end up as wormfood in a graveyard.

But since my basic "spiritual" thesis is that we're really playing a game on Metaverse Earth, I also think that each individual should do her best to play this game - if that individual wants to pursue wealth, good on her. If she wants to pursue health, good on her too.

Even the pursuit of "spiritual" attainment in this particular conception of life on Metaverse Earth is a game in itself - one could perhaps argue it's a "higher" level game, but a game nonetheless.

The concept of "higher" and "lower" levels is itself an artificial abstraction. A trap for those who seek "higher" level consciousness, ultimately.

Life is kind of a Ponzi scheme: you borne, you live, you die. The middle part is mostly a bunch of games within a game.

If the whole idea that life is a Metaverse Earth game that's unique for each individual is bothersome, I would say this discussion between these two apparent individuals best sums up my view of earthly existence:

Firstly, the main reason for posting the videos was as a bit of a joke and a response to your funny video relating to me, both obviously caricatures of ourselves.

The main message from those videos for me is not to waste too much time on the pointless pursuit of money for it's own sake, rather than just a means to an end, and enjoying what you have now rather than putting it off to a day that never comes or when we're at the end of our lives when we don't have the same energy. Also enjoying the simple things in life which is where we get our real contentment.

You say you're not wealthy but 7 figures to me is pretty wealthy, depends who you're comparing yourself to. I think someone who has to walk miles for water each day would say you're wealthy but compared to Elon Musk perhaps not. I have to work for a living but because the money is good I probably do around 10 hours a week,  most people would be earning far more money and have a nice new car and a bigger house but their cups of coffee taste similar!

My pursuit has always been based on truth. If we are just in a metaverse earth game then so be it, I just don't think your worldview is a correct one but I do find it fascinating and like to dialogue with people about theirs.

The video is pure nonsense in my opinion, a form of denial or escapism into non reality or a metaverse to escape truth. It may work until someone sticks a red hot poker up your backside then it becomes a bit more difficult to say that it's not really happening or whatever nonsense they're talking about. Cognitive dissonance. Sorry just my opinion.

I too wish to be cremated, one last smoke! Actually the Biblical message is that we are given a new spiritual body so why Christians (in particular Catholics) have a need to be buried with their decrepit old body only to be wormwood (as you put it) I do not know!

Yeh but your cis-Jesus told me to cannonball-buy stocks in mid-October last year and so far it's looking good.

So it would appear cis-Jesus wants me to make some profits, it would seem at least.

Now, me waiting for the JSS - the Judas Sell(out) Signal - to be triggered so I can trim more definitively.

That be funny! :mrgreen:

Jesus has a lot to say about investments - he recommends ultimate patience to get the greatest reward of all, you have to keep the investment your entire life and never sell out, it's worth far more than silver and gold!

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves (central banks, the PTB etc.) break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

He says you reap what you sow, so you better make sure you invest in the right things.

Both Jesus and the Adversary exist side-by-side within the Woman-in-the-Mirror. Just take a look.

Pretty interesting discussion, do I need to be open to evolutionary theory?

Classic Darwinian evolutionary theory as taught in the mainstream fashion is a scam. IMHO. :lol:

Still, some of the concepts, when used as metaphors in other areas - e.g. "Only the strong survive, adapt or die," etc. can be helpful.

I get what you're saying, interesting points.

The guy being interviewed accepts evolution from basic living organisms to humans but that God directed it, the interviewer I think is probably an Intelligent design guy, they both accept evolution at some level or at least adaptation within kinds. The conversation revolves a lot around new discoveries that show that the universe is irrational and things like electronics only appearing when observed throwing conventional ways of thinking out the window and how scientists need to adapt rather than be stuck in philosophical positions which a lot of atheists are, their actually being very unscientific.

Both are actual scientists in fields of chemistry so Sol might find it interesting, the guy being interviewed comes from a multi generational staunch atheistic/communist background.

For info, in theory, the marxist communists dont accept the darwinian theory of evolution.

https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science ... darwinism/

For people who dont accept the idea of natural selection of the fittest, explain them, they are the result of the fittest spermatozoid among millions spermatozoids who came out their fathers balls.......

Also, Darwin is not the father of the evolutions theory.
