little_devil look, I don't know, maybe you could just enlighten me then. Honestly, your last two posts feel kind of contradictory to me. I’m way too tired right now to really sit here and break things down for you since you aren't exactly caught up on everything. Even if you think there isn't some higher power governing natural perfection, I guess I wonder why you're even trying to explain stuff to me that seems totally obvious on my end. Like, sure, all that might be true, but I still believe in a higher power, and I'll probably try to explain the specifics to you whenever I actually have more time... maybe then it'll finally click for you. 😉

I could probably explain a bit more to you too 😉

My posts aren't contradictory at all. It’s just about how you read them.

Jason Sanchez3 said:I just meant you had it backwards—if we're in someone else's hands, nothing is really up to us.

I guess you might have taken that the wrong way too, because I mean, we can definitely influence certain things in our lives, but maybe those major, life-altering moments are driven by some higher power, no matter how hard we try. I suppose that makes more sense regarding what I was getting at. Like, we can definitely shape our own paths and handle all sorts of situations, but there are probably some key turning points where we just don't have any control. 😲

I didn't misunderstand at all, I was just clarifying what he meant

So does that include finding a soulmate🤣?

😂

Haha, okay, fine. I'll just go hide in my room, skip lunch and dinner, and obviously I won't die because it's not my time yet—instead, I'll just wait for my millions, a spouse, and two kids to show up exactly like it's written in my stars. 😂

You might want to look into the whole internal vs. external locus of control thing. It's interesting stuff.

wanderingwolf98 said:Okay, thanks for that super deep and enlightened explanation. Since you're clearly such a genius, maybe you could try answering a few more things for me: where did humans actually come from? I'm sure you're gonna say evolution... But okay, then explain how any living thing on Earth started, or where the Earth or the entire universe even came from. You eventually have to hit a point that you just can't explain, and what happens then?🤷

If God created everything, then who created God? It’s an endless loop of "what created that" leading nowhere.

And you're embarrassed because your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was a monkey.

Evolution is a fact. Look at chimpanzee ears, hands, and intelligence. Look at how human infants behave compared to chimpanzee infants; there is almost no difference. Look at the DNA. The genetic gap between humans and chimps is barely 2%.

I don't have any text to rewrite yet! Send over the posts you want me to work on, and I'll get right to it. kaže:
If God created everything, then who actually made Him? Like, how did He even start? Who made the thing that made Him? It just goes on forever in a loop.

Man, I’m honestly a little embarrassed. Like, seriously embarrassed. My great-great-grandfather was probably just a monkey or something.

It’s obvious we came from evolution. Just look at our ears, our hands—even our brains are basically chimp-level. Even if you watch a human baby versus a baby chimpanzee, there's hardly any difference. Plus, the genetic code is only like 2% apart.

Man, they really taught me some nonsense back in school. It feels like everyone went one way, and I somehow ended up headed in the complete opposite direction.🙂

Could you clarify what that actually means?

On another note, I highly recommend checking out this book on spiritual intelligence since it seems like something that might be helpful for you😉 http://www.4shared.com/file/33271587...ligencija.html

Listen, you idiots. I’m talking about the higher-order primates here. Look at this evolutionary tree. You have chimpanzees and humans branching out from the same point—our common ancestor. Now, look at the base of that tree where the common ancestor for all hominids sits. What does that ancestor actually look like? It looks like a monkey.

The evolutionary tree is clear. Biology doesn't lie.

The night is clear.

Yeah, maybe my ex would find that useful—he used to be such a drama queen when I left him, and now he wouldn't even give me a drop of blood if I were dying... plus everyone who claims love comes from the soul but doesn't get how you can just stop caring about someone overnight. Like, why does the spark just vanish? It's just an end. Hmmm, makes me wonder...

Everything I've looked into, whether it's myself or people around me, points to exactly that...

Total nonsense...

"There are people who believe their life events are mostly their own doing, the result of their actions. On the other hand, some look for causes outside themselves. The first group is said to have an 'internal locus of control,' while the second has an 'external locus of control.' External control relies on the idea that we aren't responsible for our lives—whether we're happy or miserable, successful or failing, enthusiastic or depressed. From that standpoint, it's easy to blame others, society, the stars, the weather, or brain chemistry. That's the easy way out; changing the situation is the hard part. If we feel our lives are out of our hands, we tend to grumble, criticize, complain, worry, threaten, and blame. We project our bitterness outward. It's everyone else's fault; that's just how life is."

"Conversely, an internal sense of control brings both responsibility for one's actions and a greater sense of personal freedom and opportunity. People with an internal locus of control are much more satisfied than those with an external one."

So, what about your spiritual intelligence?

"Spiritual intelligence—essentially the wisdom of your soul—lives in that part of you deeply connected to higher insight. It helps us grasp our true values and guides us toward life paths where we can learn everything we need to grow. In other words, having this kind of intelligence just proves that nothing happens by accident; we're subconsciously moving toward the very things we choose for ourselves."

😉🙂

From what I've gathered, it’s like a type of wisdom... an experiential intelligence tied to emotional intelligence. It's about knowing yourself and your purpose, which eventually leads to feeling fulfilled in life...

I’m not sick at all. Honestly, I’m healthy, I’m strong, and I’m not afraid of anything. And really, nobody else needs to be scared either. Just keep singing, and all those nervous wrecks will just scatter.
Take it how you want, but that’s just what life has taught me. The era is best for pretty much any situation.
And if anyone wants to laugh, let them. Laughter is good for the soul.

Don't be so certain. I would still suggest getting a CT scan and an MRI.

Look... if I were giving advice to the gentleman who started this thread, I’d tell him to see a psychiatrist and just get over it. Seriously. You're just imagining things.

Seriously though, people, have you all collectively lost your minds? And no, I’m not just being dramatic or asking a rhetorical question here. This level of paranoia and these straight-up hallucinations are becoming a massive problem, especially when you see everyone dropping unsolicited advice about priests and exorcisms in a place like this. It’s honestly wild how this whole "alternative medicine" nonsense from those sketchy PDFs is spreading like wildfire everywhere 🙄

No, they aren't sane. They're suggesting he see a priest instead of a psychiatrist, and now this woman is telling him to sing the era from the afterlife to make the shadows vanish. ☕☕ ☕

Not everyone is like that, I'm definitely not.
I was just sharing how I once threw some playing cards at a wall and they just... vanished. 😛 😍

So you think I’m not normal... hey, I don’t really have anything against how you define it.
I’m not looking for "normal"... not even a little bit.

Honestly, try singing "Era" when you're dealing with a crisis and see how much it helps... it actually works!

Psychiatrists are basically just mini Mengele clones. They’re out there testing meds on you, mostly just drugging you into a stupor until you're numb, all while padding their own pockets. I haven't met a single shrink who didn't have the same shady playbook. Honestly, the best way to deal with them is to play along and mess with them.
I’ll go in and make up some ridiculous problem, and she lights up like a Christmas tree. Then she starts spinning these theories, spinning and spinning, until—bam—she hands me some sedative.
Meanwhile, I've still got this sensation like someone is hammering a nail directly into my spine with every single step I take, and nobody does anything about it. Sometimes I get this overwhelming urge to just slice open my scalp and pull the pain out myself, but they tell me that would lead to "other problems"—apparently, I might lose my vision, which would be an even bigger disaster than this. Thank God she didn't suggest amputating my leg just to solve the issue.
