When you think about it, isn’t it a bit strange how Judaism doctrines are mixed with Christianity’s… especially when Jews killed Christianity’s founder? An outsider may think maybe the enemy - ie Saul/Pharisee - won after all in taking over that religion.

From another point of view, maybe one who truly worships the God of truth, will seek truth wherever found, meaning their “scripture set” would be quite big - though of course wise cherry picking is needed as in all corrupt religions. In my “scriptures” are not just the standard combo but maybe also:

Buddhist right ways etc
Tao te Ching
Hindu Vedas
Zoroastrianism
Cicero (writings)
Aurelius “
Jung
Emerson
NATURE
The Spirit
(… many more…)

Religion, is one branch of several, of philosophy. Philosophy, as the study of reality, may be the closest we get to the totality of God, though most “philosophers” would probably call it something else. 😁

I've individuated to the point that I feel almost alone.

I don't think this is what I came here for. solve et coagula.

I've never been much a gamer but I was able to watch my cousin play that game for Hours on end. It was like watching an incredible movie....
Another game like that, that was awesome fun to watch someone else play, was Uncharted. Absolutely incredible.

I’ve noticed some people seem worse (meaner, less considerate) as they get older. It may be due to living alone - they become more self centered & more easily annoyed with others. It also may be those who didn’t succeed in going through Erickson’s stages of development so they are full of regret. It may also be increasing aches and pains make them more irritable. Another possibility is they take personally some notions that older people are deemed less attractive, less valuable etc. I think it’s important to not tie our looks too much to how we feel about ourselves. Of course, take care of our temple body, but remember it’s not the real, eternal us.

When I get older, I want to be better than I am now, I hope so anyway. Though I may be tempted to talk someone’s ear off, I want to use my long lifetime of experience, intelligently - to choose between everything I’ve learned & carefully choose what would be most loving/best to say to those I come across… or to be silent & listen, when that’s best.
