I see you didn't watch, lol.

Perhaps you'd prefer Jung?

- And your book is just a fairy tale for morons

Glad to have your OPINION yet again, once more. Anyone who disagrees with it is a moron, though?

That's pretty silly, really.

I even give you Jung and South Park as examples of varying opinions. They don't think you're a moron, though. Prolly not, anyway.

If you really wanna tick MAGA off, remind them that God invented sex.

That could still happen! Just here, not there. You are already where Heaven will be.

Ok, maybe not in red states right away; that may take time.

You don't know what you mean any more than we do. What you call blasphemy, scholars call the best translation and interpretation by prolly the best modern NT scholar.

Anyway, here's a song for you:

ck out the link at #3 on Jung's take on God as the numinous of the psyche; the only thing that can overcome the ego.

He was one of my favorites in my major subject courses in college; a step up on Freud, much more interesting than the Behaviouralists.

Of course, I liked Carlos Castaneda, too, but we were trippin' back then. So was he!

Astral projection was a thing that Anthropologist/shamanist/writer Castaneda focused on, and which I experienced briefly.

Two of my psych profs were partners in a Phantom Pain Clinic; where people suffered from, say pain in their foot after losing that leg, or in a hand after their arm was amputated.

I was a victim, er subject in a doctoral thesis experiment that taught us how to gain a very relaxed state, and manipulate things like body temperature, heart rate, and such that we were being monitored for... something that could be taught to their patients to help ease the pain.

The technique is now called Autogenic Relaxation and is quite popular today for any kind of stress.
I still practice it, along with breathing exercises like diaphragm breathing.

Controlling the body functions in a very relaxed state was not a matter of command or force, it was a matter of recognizing our feelings when we did see the needle move in the direction we wanted, then recalling those feelings to make it happen as we liked.

Sorta like Michael Jordon in a 'Zone' when shooting 3's; if you can recall how that FEELS, it's easier to do when you want.

So, one suddenly spring afternoon I was doing just that on the third floor of a tower building on campus, hooked up to the monitors, wishing I was outside in the sun... when I, my conscious self in a 'spirit' sort of shape, lifted up out of my body, flew joyously down the stairs and out into the day!

But it, unsurprisingly, freaked me out, and with a bit of a whoosh I flew even faster backwards through the doors, up the stairs and back into my body.

Sorry, no video exists!

I had pure mescal once down in central Mexico with a college friend from there and his local amigos. They kept it soaking in large jars and served in in tiny cups. It was better than eating peyote, I'll say that.

"Ezekiel 23:19-21 uses graphic imagery to explain that the kingdoms of Israel (Oholah) and Judah (Oholibah) have repeatedly turned away from God to pursue foreign, pagan alliances and idolatry, which is described as spiritual adultery.

The explicit language, using comparisons to donkeys and horses, is a metaphor to emphasize the depth of their sin, their spiritual unfaithfulness, and the intense hurt this caused God, their "husband".

;;

"The verses highlight that Judah is even more corrupt than Israel because it had already witnessed Israel's downfall but still repeated the same mistakes."

Spiritual adultery: The primary meaning is that the unfaithfulness of the two kingdoms to God, their covenant partner, is like the most severe kind of adultery.

Shock value: The explicit and "shocking" imagery was used by the prophet Ezekiel to grab his audience's attention and impress upon them the severity of their sin and God's immense grief and anger."

"AI Overview
Kingdom of God Within You? "

Luke 17:21 Revisited " Life and ...

The phrase "the kingdom of heaven is within you" comes from Luke 17:21, where Jesus explains to the Pharisees that the kingdom of God is not coming with signs but is already present.

While it can be interpreted as a spiritual transformation happening inside believers, many scholars believe "within you" is better translated as "among you" or "in your midst," meaning Jesus himself was the manifestation of the kingdom of God, present in his ministry, teachings, and miracles."
