SWShredder: I feel the need to share how I feel after reading almost everything garbotalk and reptiliandude taught us. This may not be the best thread to talk about it so obviously feel free to move it or even delete it if you see fit.

I feel challenged because I realize that part of my own views of the world are the result of the Kayeen’ influence on our society. I realize that my views and what I value actually profit the statu quo and reading the description of the Kayeen, I could even recognize myself.

Recently, I have been guilty of viewing the world exactly the way RD describes our scholars with a mecanist philosophy (he often mentionned mecanist and vitalist IIRC). I used to believe in God and I noticed recently that I was losing faith. I was beginning to see life as a series of random events leading to it like a one in a trillion chance. I am curious and yet the more I would read, the more I would think like this. I never went around imposing my view but nevertheless I still failed to value life for what it is.

Ultimately, I cannot deny that I have been and still am part of the problem. People, like me are the reason why Kayeen’s influence manage to be so strong in western society. I am not antisocial but my own narcissism is exploited every day to get them what they want from us. I do not want this. I can deal with myself and be better. I felt comfort in reading some of the things RD said about the One as it reminded me of my own faith. It was his intention to shock and make people wake up and maybe I’m beginning to wake up a bit.

but my own narcissism is exploited

Oh don’t worry. I’m pretty much like that too. I can be very self obssesed also and struggle with not letting me stand in the way of me, if that amoes any sense.

Garbotalk: Much of my world view has altered from knowing RD. I’m a better person for knowing him. I too recognized my consumerism and selfish focus on the intricacies of my own daily life as playing into the manipulations of the Kayeen, rather than considering the well being of all.

I’ve always had a strong faith but I’ve worried too much about minor denominational differences rather than considering the whole of humanity as bringing many good perspectives to the table.

Mostly I’ve learned that I have so much more to learn. I don’t know nearly as much as I thought I did, and I realized that so many things told to me in my life were lies that I just accepted because it was easier than questioning.

I am less naive now, but have had to reduce my knee jerk optimism to one of prayerful hopefulness.

I’m more tolerant and patient, less demanding and judging, and much more open to new thoughts and perspectives. I’m still working on my temper lol.

I’ve drawn a line in the sand on some things. It is wrong to harm another and take from others. It is wrong to expect others to do for you what you won’t do for yourself. It is wrong to manipulate those around you to bend to your will.

We are all in this together. What unites us is our humanity, but also a desire to do good in this life. The differences between us gives us strength as a whole, because all the bases are covered.

We should focus on what will help all of us, not just some of us. And we should honor He who gave life to us all by trying to be better versions of ourselves, improving our efforts and attitudes as we go along in life.

I don’t know how long we have. Every day of life is a gift worth appreciating. I will do all in my power to help humanity. There is no sacrifice I won’t consider. I believe we are worthy of continuing, and would prefer to do it independently. But I have to trust the One will see us through.
