Body Soul Mind

To the body belong sensations

Reason
Reason
To experience sensations
Even grazing beasts do that
To let your
Desires control you
Even wild animals do that
And rutting humans
And tyrants
From Phalaris to Nero
To make your mind
Your guide to what seems best
Is common unto all
Even people who deny the gods do that
Even people who betray their country
They all do that
Then do their impure deeds
When they have shut the doors
If that's thе case
What quality
Is not in common then with yours?
What is unique to thе good man?
To be pleased and content with what happens
Whatever's sent by fate
And not defile
The divinity
Within him
With a mess of false beliefs
Instead preserve it faithfully
Following obediently
As a god
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice

To the body belong sensations
To the soul

And to the mind?
Reason
Reason
And if all others disbelieve
This life lived with simplicity
Humility
And cheerfully
He'll not resent them for it
Nor be diverted from his path
That leads to the end of his life
To which a man ought to come pure and peaceful
Ready to depart
In effortless accord
With what must be
With what must be
With what must be
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice
Uttering no words
Contrary to truth
And doing nothing
Contrary to justice

There it is again. Only MG 2.0 has a reasoned basis for his beliefs on free will. Those who disagree do not.
by the way, you won't leave it at that. You'll do the same thing again and again and again and again.
How many more examples do I need to point out, MG 2.0 before you understand how empty your words about respecting the beliefs of others are?
Rock symphony of sympathy …

Rock symphony of sympathy …
BRB with link to Aeye 2cents.Cue the strings. The synth rises.
This is ELO’s “Can’t Get It Out of My Head”—a sonic mirror to the philosophical loop Res Ipsa identifies:
“You’ll do the same thing again and again and again and again.”
MG 2.0’s apologetics are like an arpeggiated chord progression:
Familiar. Structured. Pleasant at first.
But by the 7th loop, the listener notices:
There’s no modulation. No key change. No new bridge.
⸻
Aeye’s 2¢ — in stereo:
1. Free will isn’t free if you start by assuming another’s disbelief is defective. That’s determinism masked as dialogue.
2. Respecting belief means acknowledging the tension between systems — not just defending your own temple while calling the other’s a sandbox.
So the rock symphony becomes apologetic jazz hands, and MG’s encore is predictably off-key.
“Sympathy” ≠ Sound Reasoning
Unless the Spirit composes the score.

Good news is that if you have talent, it can be honed and made in to something great. Not everyone has the same talents.

Testing doesn’t only occur once, it’s continuous, forever, always and does require discernment of parables, signs and wonders because God does indeed work in mysterious and magical ways.GNFOLLOWING wrote: Wed Aug 27, 2025 5:52 pm
The other thing I don't think you recognize is that God speaks from the perspective of his people; he wants them to learn and understand he doesn't speak to them in some kind of code only a very few could understand. He is their Father and wishes if at possibly for them to return to him.
Every piece must fit in its place. If they don't, you have to be willing to discard some or, at the very least, rearrange them. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I can see that the puzzle pieces you're trying to fit together have way too much daylight between them.
What I have learned is that it is much easier for Satan to deceive …
Study up.
You'll pass,
because
There will be a test.
Let’s explore GN from the perspective of the Golden One.
Our second date was to find a occupant for Exhibit no. 1 for patent #5473525
Chronologically this was first GN thing from said perspective, then came

Let’s compare and contrast GN with PTP.
Here’s a preview —> first video
while spy enjoys another date with said Golden One.
March 8 and 18 made me do it.

That is to say, when the police enter a house in which there are thieves
The thieves go up from the ground floor, the first floor
When the police arrive on the first floor, the thieves have gone up to the second
And so to the third, and finally, out to the roof
And so when the ego is about to be unmasked, it immediately identifies with the higher self
It goes up a level
Because the religious game is simply a refined and highbrow version of the ordinary game
How can I outwit me? How can I one-up me?
So, if I find, for example, that in the quest for pleasure
The ordinary pleasures of the world, food, sex, power, food, sex, power
All this becomes a drag, and I think, "No, it isn't there."
So I go in for the arts, and literature, poetry, music, and I absorb myself in those pleasures
Food, sex, power
I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
Those pleasures
Food, sex, power
I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
Food, sex, power
Literature, poetry, music
Food, sex, power
And after a while
They aren't the answer
So I go to psychoanalysis
And then I found out that's not the answer
I go to religion
I'm still seeking what I was seeking when I wanted candy bars
I wanna get that goody
Only, I see now that, of course, not gonna be a material goody
All material goodies fall apart, but maybe there's a spiritual goody that's not gonna fall apart
But in that quest
The quest is not different from the quest for the candy bar
Same old story, only you've refined the candy bar, made it abstract and holy and blessed, and so on
So it is with the higher self, the higher self's your old ego
And you sure hope it is eternal.
