Thank you, Fr. Blake and Brandon for your Podcast on Leisure. It really helped me understand the difference between authentic leisure and secondary leisure. Even though I am retired, I need to take some time for real authentic leisure.
Leisure the Basis of Culture used to be required reading for incoming freshman at Ave Maria University. I'm glad I was required to read it, but probably need to revisit it.
Leisure is about sight. It's about allowing what is there to be received. Essentially, it means an openness and general orientation toward awe and gratitude. Leisure means looking upon creation with awe and gratitude. With this in mind, we see that leisure is an attitude that can be applied to any situation. It is the rejection of cynicism and sarcasm for appreciation. In Christianity, such appreciation is called worship.
Wonderful podcast- I recently reads Piepers book on leisure and this was a nice compliment and refresher to some of the greater themes in the book- well said and well received - god bless you both and your ministry as this episode in itself was quite leisurely for me :)
Sitting still in the love seat is comfortable, the progression out of the chair to the destination makes the back and kneecap snap, crackle, and pop and is the painful and uncomfortable.
I'm trying to be more leisurely, get more interior castle, but it's not easy and is such a hassle. I'm trying to be more leisurely, and get increasingly interior castle, but it's not easy, and seems like it is just such one big hassle. but it isn't so easy? and seems as if it is just such one big hassle? I'm trying to be more leisurely, and dying to get increasingly interior castle, but it isn't so easy you know, and seems as if it is just such one big, dumb, unfun, surely rigged hassle. it isn't so easy you do know? Put the "do" in there to make a sound similar to the "you"? Unless there is a word already in it besides 'you' that has that sort of sound which I just missed when going over it to see. "Mere" to sound like interior? "it is just such one big, mere, dumb, unfun, surely rigged up hassle? "Up" to go along with the others that go kind of like the noise of that other? I'm trying to be much more leisurely, and dying to get increasingly interior castle, but it isn't so easy you do know, and seems as if it is just such one big, mere, dumb, unfun, surely rigged up hassle. The bible says knowledge puffs up. So maybe that thing a lot of you smart guys say, or something to the extent of, destroys knowledge, is useful. That deducing or reductionism, wherever you all call it, could be there to crush the puffy knowledge that doesn't know the ledge. Or would true knowledge know where the ledge of knowledge ends and that's the knowledge that needs deflating or to be popped. Or is it the thing it puffs up that will shrivel and shrink and cease to be? Or has it vanquished the knowledge to make the puffed up object lose steam?
Laziness is at work in me. It's working in me. It's the work that's going on in me. It's not knocked out and leaving me alone, but up and awake and bothering me.
Activity isn't a living being. So it's dead, non-existent. Thus it does not work. Therefore it can't get you out of the trouble you are in called life, the path to death, suffering and loss.
Dullness doesn't feel insane. It gets you down. Being overwhelmed, in an exciting situation, makes you feel like you're going insane. You tell the kid to calm down when he's outwardly very overly excited. You say he's going insane, or getting crazy, or being nuts, or becoming wild, not dull and repetitive, like nature, life, the world, the people. Believing the bad predicament you're in now can't change, or will have to take long to change, changing slowly over time, like evolutionists say things happen, can break you and zap and drain you of your energy and make you give up. But believing a change can come in a flash, that a miracle can occur, gives you vitality and puts some pep in your step.
If you want a person to go mad lock him in a room with no human contact. The mad people in insane asylums aren't sitting around planning for the holidays. They cast all their past off to stick with just their delusion. The lunatic is obsessed with his own idea that he is napoleon. His idea, his plan, is all that matters. All the rest of us are wrong, to him, when we tell him to give up focusing on himself and his own plan so much. While the family, and the rest of us are planning for the holidays, the drug addict, and sex addict and mentally ill are on solo missions, planning to get their addiction, their insane thought. The family is sitting together around the holiday dinner table, all having the same goal, to sit there and eat and argue and laugh. But the drug addict, and sex addict, and mentally ill are on their own solo mission and are dead serious about it, it's a job, not a holiday.
The nuts are not all in an insane asylum in unification, all of them saying the same thing, that they're from outer space; they're all doing their own thing. The nut is in unification with himself. He doesn't doubt his self when his mind tells him he's a walnut.
My mind is still in the habit of hearing a noise in the house and thinking it's my Mom. Then it remembers she's not here anymore. Or I notice my mind doing that and I remind it that she's here in spirit, not in body right now.
You don't rebody, or remind, your body, you remind your mind. Your mind forgets and you remind it. You don't remind your body and make it a mind again, you remind your mind and make it the mind it was that it forgot about but that you remembered.
I'm not doing it. It's my insanity talking and eating and laughing, not me, not me choosing to do it. Craziness isn't pseudo-science, it's science, making a better world. Madness isn't imaginary, it's logical. It's putting the words in my mouth. Thus it can make words. Hence it is alive.
The living can make himself write on the wall of his padded cell with feces and his fingers that he is god. The dead can't do that. They can't make themselves do that. It's the living, the insanity, making him do it.
Do exorcists use latin on demons to expel them, and it would be a demons dream for the latin mass to disappear from the earth? Do protestants go back to the bible but don't go back far enough to the mass that was performed before the bible was put into written form, and the non-traditional mass came long after the bible was around?
Them traditional guys have robes (I think you call them vestments) that have a serpentine flavor to them. And I think they use lettering for their writings that the gangster's and tough guys use on the words they get tattooed on them.
Fearing your plans being ruined is sensible. The senseless is freedom from that fear. Be sensible, filled with care. I'm senseless. It's gonna keep harder and harder to stick to the plan and order. All knowledge is foolishness. Its just thought, not matter, not the real world. What I just said isn't knowledge, its faith, senseless, pain, loss, death, things not going the way the mind thought they would. There's a such thing as senseless. So senseless is sensible. There is a such thing as nonsense. So nonsense is sensible, not a story.
The universe is safe, your pal. So you should want it. My words are the danger. Flee from them into the loving embrace of the universe for protection from me and what I say.
A person attached to their loved one won't die for their loved one. Because they will be afraid to be dead and not get to see what they're attached to any longer. If they're not attached to them, then them dying for them and losing the chance to see and be with them anymore won't be any problem.
You have it good in america. That system that came from the mind of the white supremacist protestant made life easy. Are you gonna end poverty? The billionaire goes bankrupt. Did he just need a trillion, and that would of have done the job? America has gunshots in it everyday. Your neighborhood in america not having gunshots in it is not america not having gunshots in it. Food spoils and resources aren't everlasting, they come and go, so how do you plan to end poverty? America is in debt, so it's below the poverty line. Don't be negative, think about the dying child in the 3rd world. That'll brighten your day up. Think of the 3rd world's problems so we can find a reason to invade it to save it.
The white males don't need help. They can do it themselves. They're not superior. The others can't do it themselves. They need help. They're no different than white males.
The new fruit that will start to exist next summer, and new day, and new pain, and new lightning bolt, and new magnetic pull, and new idea that will appear, proves life is magic, things coming from magic, not creationism, things coming from the wise.
You know you can trust all those democrats and liberals and left wingers. You dealt with them and heard how much they value human life over human death. They're not the eugenicists party. Put your life in their hands.
Women and children kill too. So those christians who act like you have to be softer on women and children are putting you and your loved one's lives in danger.
The imaginary christ is in my mind. And imaginary things can't really die. So what's in my mind will never die. The dying world is in your mind. It's dying.
I'm a christian. So I'm not having fun. I'm a downer. I'm a christian. So I have faith and don't focus on the problems. Having faith is having seriousness. It's not dealing with the problems. Having reason is having fun. It's facing the problems.
If wisdom controls me, then what it's using me to do is a wise thing, it's the plan of wisdom, and I am not in control, so the wisdom is madness. If I am in control, then since I am not wisdom, what I am doing is not the plan of the wise, since wisdom is wise, but is madness.
You cut the dead ends off your hair and your hair then grows better. Don't cut off some of your cash. You put a needle with a virus in it into you to get the virus out of you. Don't get rid of some of your money to get more to come to you. You spend energy shopping to get food, so you can eat the food to get energy. Don't spend doe to get loot to flow back in. You let go of your seed into the ground to grows a plant that gives you more seeds than you let go of. You shouldn't let go of your wealth to get more wealth. You're cells die, dry up and flake off and are replaced by fresher cells. If your cash dies it won't be the living god that gets you to move on but will be a crucified god that gets you stuck with a bunch of jinxed junk and unable to get that billion you're looking for. If you didn't breath out air and release it you couldn't catch your breath in the rushing rat race. You have to lose your first set of teeth to get your stronger second set of teeth to grow in. I'm sure there's much more examples of this: Snake venom I think is one.
If an ape turns into a man without dying, if it doesn't die before it turns into a man, then that's an ape that lived without dying, the immortal chimp, a holy primate. Did the gorrila die and then arose from the dead a living man?
Leisure was around before the industrial age, so the further you go back, the more contemplation, leisure, and gardening there was. The beginning is the base, leisure, contemplation, a condition of the soul.
Humans are habitual creatures by nature. But habit wasn't man's original state, for you get into the habit and don't start in it. So man's first state wasn't natural.
There's one nature, one life, not two nature's, one nature in a nature. So it is not nature that is in nature, it is the non-natural that is in nature.
Christians invented the modern world. There were no moderns around to create it. They didn't show up till the modern world did. Did the moderns exist before the modern world, and are the more primitive of the two?
They told me I'm in life. I don't believe them. I'll call their bluff. I'll bet them everything they possess that they truly don't know where they're at.
You can't be rigid and stiff and a goody two shoes and expect to live good. You need a little bit of deviousness, and cunning, and that craftiness, the christianity, in your life, not just all that other wholesome stuff all the time.
A world of friends and family not sharing poetry and music and paintings and stories with one another but only sharing serious information, and having serious dealings with each other, in order to gain material goods, and obtain, or maintain, one's survival, is a small, narrow, dark, drab, cold, dead, cruel, obsessive, insane world, an absolute and complete insane asylum.
Are they treating life like it's a sinking ship they are on, and they grow panicked and frantic when the water is seen on deck, but once it is bucketed out and thrown overboard they go back to relaxing and ignoring the unseen hole on the bottom of the boat that keeps letting the fluid flow in and up until it is back on the top deck again?
They have to create an image of reality in their mind that is thought, not actually what is outside their mind, thoughtlessness, faith. That thought of mine is not actually what is outside their mind, it is faith, for thought is just in the mind, faith, not what is outside their mind, thoughtlessness, faith. Life is serious, not a thought, just in the mind, a joke. Thoughts are serious business, not what is outside of minds, the thoughtlessness, just a big joke.
I'm weak and paranoid, See, I got the strength to admit that and I'm not paranoid of everyone knowing the real me. A coward hides themselves. So hiding the truth, not opening up, is cowardice, not something to take pride in. Imagine how bad your company would run and how much money it would miss out on and lose if it kept itself hidden away from people and didn't advertise. People don't trust people who are sneaky. People won't do business with a person that seems shady to them and not open and honest. They call those people street hustlers and two bit gangsters, ghetto superstars, who make you poor if you vote for them, unless you rip people, or the system, off and live in fear and paranoia of getting caught and being found out for it. Vote for them, and they free and excuse criminal behavior, and then have you living in a world where everyone is scheming and ripping people off and your kid has to live in terror of germs and watch their back out there in the streets lest they come in contact with a wild person who lets themselves get pulled by the mainstream culture into feeding the beast system that makes the streets and world unsafe for their own kid.
Hey, if all are rich, then everyone can pay the judge off and do anything they want and get away with it and you'll have a safe, peace filled, life and world. So make sure everyone gets rich, not moral. Everyone should do wrong, so the world becomes more dangerous and you can get a thrill and adrenaline rush from the life they turn into a deadly sport and scary carnival ride, and from the chance of them getting caught doing it and from rebelling against the rules and from getting away with it, and from the big gamble you're taking. Being negative hurts you. So save yourself, not the world for christ, for doing the latter will get you hurt, that's being negative. Don't expose the evil and bring it out into the light. If you do they'll say you're being negative and hateful and not give you jobs, and by proxy, not give you food. Be about yourself, not others. Once everybody is about themselves it'll be a unified world full of love, the dangerous exciting adventure, not that boring dull hate and drama and cut throat competition. I'm positive about people being negative. I accept it. I'm not down about it, negative.
Do objects start off moving and then become still, or are they still, then get moved, then slow to a stand still? Is movement a cause, or do objects cause moving? Movement without an object is logic, not an object. No objects, no movement. I didn't make an object with a movement, or a miracle, I made it with a word, or through it, or both.
If I link and lock and zipper together two particles to make an apple, then that's 3 things existing, the one particle, the other, and the apple, but only two particles existing, so the apple is invisible, of the spirit.
Later on they say, "When I was young I should have cut those revolutionary types of people in the music videos, and at the political rallies, and sitting behind the news desks reading the weather out of my life when I had the chance and went and got married and settled down and made money and had a bunch of kids instead."
Limitations give you a choice, one or the other. Without limitations, boundaries, borders, one is the other, they have no divider between them, no barrier or fence or separator, resulting in you having no choice, no free will.
If you don't have faith, you got work. You don't wait on God, you don't come to your end, your cross, you do everything yourself, you slave all day. Play and rest are not work. So they're not of your doing. God is not a creation, a work. If your god is your creation, he is a work, not play and rest. They won't let me say a word in a certain manner on youtube. So I'll have to adapt. Here's what I was trying to say: You're gonna d without even trying to die. So dying is not work, it is play and rest. The trinity is a community. So with just you and the trinity, a thing will happen. You and god together are a community. So with just you and god it will happen. My mind communicates with my leg. So I'm a community. Without a community it won't happen. It will take a miracle. Miracles happen. God is beyond her understanding. So a god that is understood as one who does not come to man not in community, is not the true god.
Pray god takes away the pain so I can get back to systematically, and not leisurely, reading Chesterton and thinking, and not have to sit still saying glory be god to make the pain go away.
Helping me is killing you by taking you off your plans. Being upset that life, with or without me, pulls you off your plans as if it's forcing you to do what my plan is for you, which is your destruction, is not what is zapping your motivation to live and draining your energy from you, and by proxy, stealing and sucking away your health. Life is energy. It gives you energy. Take away life so your plan remains and energy is gone and not there to give itself to you. I'm life, what's hurting you, not death, your helper.
Having to lie, hide in plain day basically, takes some effort, it's not easy, it takes your energy to get done, it's dodging the enemy, living in a war zone with no peace.
The top debater's philosophy is more serious than real life is. The point of the greatest debater ever isn't as silly and simple and funny and crude and unintelligent as the truth is.
The earth kills more than hitler, it's ultra nazi, opposed to you. The universe makes more people work than a slavemaster did. Abolish it. Life injures more women than a 1950's american husband did. It's mean. Vote it out of existence. Reality beats down into the dirt way more gays than a proselytizing evangelizing street preacher does. Ban speech. Reality is a fundamentalist hunting them and a tv pastor forcing them to give their good things to him.
The depression is trying to rise up in me to the top, into my mind from my heart. The depression is hollowness. A depression is an indent. Similar words From Oxford Languages indent move further from the margin start in from the margin notch nick make an indentation in make notches/nicks in cut gash slit groove dent engrave order request call application claim demand summons The depression is cavernous.
Not having your mind on the moment is having it on the future, having it closer to being on death, or having it in the past, closer to your pre-existence, your non-existence, your death.
To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. - 2 Corinthians 2:16
The amish aren't trying to control me, or ruling over me without my consent, or so powerful that they're on the verge of doing so. So why would I have a problem with them instead of with those who are trying get the amish to live under their rule, and their way, by demonizing, dehumanizing, and defaming them, who try to coerce, and trick, and manipulate, and bully, and threaten and force me to go against the amish and to also be under their rule and having their sick fear of someone not living like them and joining an alliance with them and being controlled by them in my mind too?
They mock the amish all while trying to break their addiction to technology and get back to the land and live the simple life and go on long vacation to escape the cosmopolitan flash and show and nice guy put on and humanitarian act.
Is your health a great movie that you are in utter amazement of, and awestruck by, at all times, or is your health just real life, not a movie, but boring and uninteresting to you, or is it a complex puzzle that's too hard for you and your doctors to complete?
Me turning into something else would be me going away, the opposite of growing, which is me staying and even more and more of me coming, so, me staying even more. Me changing into something else would be me disappearing, the opposite of growing, which is me remaining, and more and more of me appearing and appearing. My hair grows in slowly over a hundred thousand years. It took a billion years for my second set of teeth to grow. I'm not change, transformation, evolution, I'm meat, creationism. I'm not all seeing. My sight is limited, So I'm a contradiction, a myth, a seer that is not a seer.
The priests always had the secret knowledge of lasers. The living die. The dead are already dead. They don't die. The moment you die you'll be dead. And only the living die. So you'll be alive that same moment, the moment you die. Thus you are dead when you are alive, a contradiction, not sound logic like a being who is only alive and not dying is. You don't die when you're dead, you are alive when you die and are dead. You're not the dead that dies, but living while dying, while having died you will have been alive. When you die you are dead, and the alive are the one's who die, so when you die you will be the dead life. A being that is alive and does not die is reasonable. A being that dies while it is alive is a contradiction, nonsense, the living dead, foolish. You won't be dead and die when you are dead, you will die when you are alive, and be dead as you live. A dying god can't be in my mind, for then he would be not in time, and have no end time, no dying time. The empirical evidence proves a dying god in a mind, a dying god that never began at any time and who will never be finished at some time. He's dead to dying. Facts are outside mind. A dying god that is a contradiction is a fact. Facts are fools, not reason. A dying god that is not a contradiction is a fool, a fact. Reason is a dying god, a fact, a genius. Minds are genius and facts don't mind.
I'm a bore, god, a game, not work, fun, life. I'm work, a bore, life, not god, a game, fun. Life is a game you're in. That's why you're constantly climbing out of the pit and trying not to fall to the bottom of it and are dodging so you are not pushed back down into from where you came. I should have said from whence you came. The modern mind is taking me down into the dark pit of just ripping and growling with no words.
Life is a vacation from the job, from death, the laborious. Death takes no effort on your part, it's a day off. You don't have to work at dying. It's not a job you have to do for it to get done. It's not work, it's play.
You want many things. It's harder to carry many things than it is less things. So having more stuff makes your life harder and leaves you less free. Thus those with the most stuff have it the hardest and are the one's who need your help. I've been trying to be a factory, the farmer and the seasons, the plow, the pulling cow, and the rain and the sunray. It doesn't work. Don't be a robot, complain, it's natural, human. A complaint is a disease. If you hide a disease you're in denial and won't be able to look at it to work on fixing it and making it work for you.
The poor get stuff from the rich. So if the rich are healed and functional, and not beaten and demoralized, it'll be better for the poor. The poor get stuff from the rich. So if the riches are given to those who have been proven to not be able to handle money, then it won't turn out good for the poor.
Life made you feel all warm and fuzzy and crystal clear and uncomplicated and lucid and coherent and glassy and see-through and uncloudy and complete and entire and clean inside when you were younger, when you had less power over the situation, when you took your time and didn't have death on your mind making you rush to get everything you want done done before it's too late, unlike how dark and heavy and down and gloomy you felt when you were an adult. There's a bunch of other words that fit in there but I don't want to make it and be complicated. Life didn't make you feel that way. That's just how you were until you thought more of yourself than you should have and were confident you were winning by addition and not that winning is quality, not quantity, and less way to go, not more.
The guy on the race track winning, the one in the lead, has less to go. He has less distance to cover, less to do. Subtracting, not adding, how much of the length of the race track below your feet, with your movement, you must go, putting it behind you, is getting closer to winning.
If people have to be taught to keep themselves safe, and have to be reasonable and experienced to understand that teaching to try to be secure, why does a babbling baby, when he begins to walk, not flop backwards, on purpose (like a man who lets himself freely fall back onto his couch, or into his chair, exhausted, after a hard days work), banging the back of his head on the hard wood floor, but instead tries to stay balanced and erect and goes back to the crawling position carefully?
Your job isn't to rest. The rest will come naturally. It is the work of nature. So rest is work. Rest doesn't magically appear. It isn't magic. It takes work. It's hard work! Is gravity working and pulling you to the bed? Is your hearing working, or away on vacation, or playing a fool, or conjuring a spell? Is the lifeless medicine doing it's job? Is the dead pill working? Rest isn't the stone's job. The stone doesn't work. The stone is not working. The sky is free from responsibility. The wind is taking a break. So rest is god's job, or the task of the labor and play; it's their duty to perform, wearing you out. They put it into action. They play wargames against you. God, fun, movement and thinking brings it into play. They initiate and install and produce the sleep and dreary weariness for you to wear. Rest isn't work. It's not a creation. It has no beginning. At no moment did it start. It always existed.
The bible says there's a day of rest, and says there's no rest for the wicked, and says they shall not enter my rest, and says god rested on the last day at the end. What's the end goal of the bible, rest, not belief, or charity?
If life was run by science, it'd be heaven on earth, a garden of eden here, but life is hard, it's controlled by satan. The love story you want your life to be is filled with suspense just like your real life is.
Is god divided, a schizophrenic, or in him is work play? I create play, it's my life's work. Sitting still for an hour is harder for him than walking for an hour is. So stillness is work and movement is rest. Do you notice they're telling you that you're corny and boring if you're staying safe and not daring, and cool and fun if you do things that get you into trouble and lead to your destruction? That couple thinks play, the relaxed and simple and easy and childish and innocent, is neglect of duty, and will take away, and make them lose, their livelihood and ruin their lives; but that work, the intense and strenuous, the serious and stressful and hurrying, is what's giving them life and reinforcing and strengthening their nerves of steel, and not what's giving them a nervous breakdown and a house of strife filled with panic and worry. Nerves that are relaxed are flexible, soft, jelly-like. Nerves of steel are stiff, tight, uncomfortable.
Will your line of reasoning that you followed to reach and come to your conclusion that evolution exists always be reasonable and will not evolve into just faith, and your line of reasoning doesn't evolve and is creationism?
You're part of the tree of life like I'm part of the mystical body of christ. Did you evolve from a tree, or are you still part of a tree of life and haven't evolved past being an unreasoning tree yet? A tree limb is physically connected to the rest of the tree. You are not stitched to the side of a monkey or screwed to a missing link. So you are on no tree of life, except in your mental, mystically.
A reasonable thing made the universe. So it uses its reason, and reasons. Evolution is reasonable. The universe is creation; it can't be reasoned with.
If being passive is senseless, then the being passive that is sensible is the senseless one of the two, since it doesn't exist. I read a line from josef pieper's leisure and I got to thinking 20 different things having to do with passiveness and sense. I do that with gk too sometimes. I read something they write and what they said is so interesting to me I can mull over it in my brain in a number of ways, picking it apart and reforming it.
You take a rest to get your bearings about you, to gather your thoughts, to regain your senses. So work makes you lose your senses, therefore it is senseless, and it does the job of making you senseless, so it works, thus it's makes sense and is sensible. passive passion Sense isn't a living being. Hence it's passive. The words "being passive is senseless," are not alive or physical, and are not doing the job on me, so they're passive, senseless Man is not an action. He's passivity. So the passive, passivity makes a job and does the work. Look, he won't partake or engage in being passive. See, he's passive. You work for sense (not for nonsense), you don't sense for sense, so work is senseless, passive. Get active or you'll make sense. Senseless is not natural, it's a need. It's not science. It's the goal science is going to make you reach. You work to get paid. Getting paid is not work for you, it's a reward, not the job, the sensible, the activity, but the nonsense, the passivity. Sense is the job. It doesn't do the job. The world is sensible. It wore you down and out. So the sensible makes you passive. You use your sense. You don't make it. It's not labor. Sense doesn't give birth or build objects. It makes no sense. You use your sense. It doesn't use you. So its not working. It's passive. You do the task of thinking. Thinking doesn't do the work of thinking or lifting furniture. Thinking doesn't work. Work is the job, it doesn't do the job. You are not sense. You, nonsense, have a job for you to do.
Is the bible correct when it says you can overcome all things, or is the situation hopeless and something is overcoming you and you are going down and headed into the dark terrible gloom with the skeptical modern minds who doubt what the bible says?
If you want a dramatic comedic dull horror movie, get in a relationship with me. You'll hear me cry and laugh and rage all in a 12 minute span. A lot of dirt too. I'm very dirty.
I have gone on a spiritual journey that led to me being mistaken for a homeless guy when I'm out on the street. And climbing back out of the black pit I travelled into has proven more difficult than I thought it would be. I fell on my head when I was younger during a fight and pinched a nerve in my neck. As I've grown older the left side of my body, and sometimes now my right, have been acting up. It's connected to the mind and the beast inside though too.
And one time I was standing up on a wooden hand railing out in the rain in an excited state and slipped off and nailed my head on the thick solid wood.
Is mean beautiful and pleasing, or is mean ugly and sad? Can one be mean without being spiteful? You get bored of things you do, so why would you think that what you like doing now also won't grow old and become boring to you, and think that all things in this world will not eventually do the same? It's easy to be mean. So the weak can do that. It takes strength to be kind to the mean and not mean back to them. It's not for the weak minded and fainthearted and soft nerved. They'll eventually see that the one's they thought weren't in the know and thought were behind the times were actually the one's they hadn't caught up to yet who had passed them, and where they're stuck at, by a long time ago and had already been there and done that and moved on to better, or at least more realistic, things. Late to the game but thinking they're in first place.
Snake language is nonsense. So the hiss of the serpent isn't snake language, nonsense, it's sense he's hissing at you. You hear him making sense, not a story or a lie or a delusion.
Does your mind exist, and god is in your mind, in what exists, not in a fairy land, not in what does not exist? Is your disbelief in God just in your mind, and your mind is the god your disbelief is in, or is your disbelief out of your mind, and in the God out there, or is God in your mind, and he has a compartment, maybe of wood or made out of metal, in him, a space, that your disbelief is actually in? Is the unbelievable god in existence, or is there no such thing as an unbelievable god, and the unbelievable god is just in your mind, and the God that cannot be believed in is only man made?
History goes from bad to better, so jungle tribes had advanced genius torture devices and methods, and modern man has crappy useless torture devices and methods. The universe evolved from bad to better. So the day the universe started there was just white male billionaire christians with guns and the covid virus, and now it's better, there's just black female satan worshipping lesbians who don't know how to make a gun, or have guns to protect and defend themselves against the advanced steel tiger teeth and cuddly comets, sharing their goods and valuables and just a common cold. Nature evolves from primitive to genius. In the past people knew how to start a fire, provide their own food, and make their own shelters and cloths to survive, like competent adults, but now like dependent children they have to wait on others to do those things for them to save them. In the horrible past women had to do all the work, but now they have progressed and get to rest the most. Proverbs 31:10-31 These are the wise sayings that King Lemuel’s mother taught him: How hard it is to find the perfect wife. Her husband depends on her. He will never be poor. She does good for her husband all her life. She is always gathering wool and flax and enjoys making things with her hands. She is like a ship from a faraway place. She brings home food from everywhere. She wakes up early in the morning, cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share. She looks at land and buys it. She uses the money she has earned and plants a vineyard. She works very hard. She is strong and able to do all her work. She works late into the night to make sure her business earns a profit. She makes her own thread and weaves her own cloth. She does not worry about her family when it snows. She has given them all good, warm clothes. She makes sheets and spreads for the beds, and she wears clothes of fine linen. Her husband is well known and sits still with the elders in the center of town. She makes clothes and belts and sells them to the merchants. She oversees the care of her house. She is never lazy.
A thought is not faith, it is intelligence. Faith is not thinking, not intelligence. God is faith, not a thought. Intelligence is intelligent, a good idea, not a natural thoughtless process, but an intelligent design. Thoughts are natural, intelligent designs. A thought is not faith, a thought is intelligent. God is faith, not intelligent, not a thought. God is a thought, an intelligence, not faith. A thought is an intelligence, not the unintelligent, faith, thoughtlessness. Christianity is man made, just a thought, man not thinking, so man is a thought not thinking. If God is a thought, then thinking of god is thinking, not faith, no thinking. If god is faith, then God is not thinking, and just is not existing by faith.
If I was under no man's law, free, all on my own, I'd have less stuff, no help. The baby is controlled by the parents. So it is not free and has stuff without having to work for it. The adult is free from the parent's control. So it has stuff but by doing hard work. So the free have it harder.
You can't help the body without first helping the soul. Isn't a computer with no software useless? If you don't get the bullet, or shard of glass out from inside the body, the wound will heal over but you'll have problems. You don't make a person work and then train them for the job, you train and teach their brain how to do the job first. You don't play the game and then practice for it, you first go over the plays at practice and get them in your mind and then you are ready to play the game.
The flower needs water. It doesn't make itself grow. It doesn't do a rain dance and make the water come to it. Others problems don't bother you as much as your own. So if you focus on others problems it won't bother you as much as when you focus on your own. Different body parts do different things than one another. If they all tried to be the ear and just listen the body would die, taking down all the other parts with it. Trying to make the whole car just a steering wheel is insane and obsessing over with one part. Is the team going to win if every player on it is the quarterback and all calling their own personal plays? Is an army going to be victorious if the lines of communications between it's soldiers on the field and it's generals up on high are cut off? Do you want the surgeon to be obsessive, or messy, when he's operating on you?
Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan was always getting these funny feelings about a rock or a trail or the road, so he'd tell us to get down, shut up. Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: Get down! Shut up! Forrest Gump: So we did.
Isolating and not socializing was taking my health. But then a real bad time came and put me in a position where I had to be humble and reach out to people or starve. And that communication with others is giving me back a balanced mind and routine, which in turn is benefitting my physical health.
I'm dead serious when I tell you that it is the seriousness that is killing you. I'm dead serious when I tell you not to be living serious. Are you impractical when you think you have to do things to be practical, or are you practical before you do anything, and doing is not going to make you practical? Is doing the dying thing being practical? Jumping off a cliff is taking action. It's you doing something. So it must be practical. Health isn't an action. So it's impractical. If thinking isn't a job, then it's impractical. And if it is impractical, then thinking working is practical, is impractical. Being alive is a state of being, not an activity, so it's impractical. Playing artistic games and putting on an act like you're a fairy godmother are activities, so they're practical. Restricting oneself to only thinking of, or talking about, and doing what's practical isn't practical, it's administering restrictions to meat when even a machine like a clock can't keep up or in sync with things and must be turned forward or set back to stick with the falling behind and picked up pace of time during the changes which occur called seasons. Practice is practical. But actually playing in the game is serious business, go time, playful, taking place on your day off, no big deal, not a job, no work. If you're in the habit of going slow you'll spend slow and not make rash rushed financial decisions. If you're practiced in going fast you'll be in the habit of spending your health, wealth, intelligence and love fast in a mad dash. In a race there's a finish line. Is death the finish line you're trying to beat everyone to? There's a finish line in a race. Is racing the reward you're trying to get in first place for and first in line for? Money comes and goes. So how can it be the end goal? I got money. I got a penny. Is the race over for me now, or is money a finish line and trophy and victory story that can be lost and taken from you and spent up and wasted away and not a practical thing to make the finish line you're trying to get to first and is what you can take your time getting and go to slow and spend wisely, knowing what quality is as well as quantity and understanding what is just garbage and practical and going to chase you around and hunt you down to get you to pay and beg. If it's draped and covered in bright colors that doesn't mean it's not junk, and if it's plain, not a party and dying down, then it's like peace, sustaining, what you're looking for, not fast furious noisy fiery life taking complex war.
The dust doesn't work. the sky isn't carrying out a duty, the puddle isn't doing a good job. So nature is not practical, a practitioner of religious rituals is. The dead aren't laboring. The night isn't at work. The moment doesn't have a job to get done before it's too late. Performance is for actors, tasks are set by spirits. Miracles, not miles and oval and green, operate and are functioning. Pebbles aren't building and planning and civilizing and inventing and selling and figuring and directing, delivering, activated, engaged, toiling, striving and hustling or in training and practicing.
Being alone is boxing yourself in. People out and about, having not painted themselves into a corner, get things. Global Trade takes human interaction. The hermit living alone in a cave with no community to communicate with starts acting a little goofy and somewhat off. Sales require some sort of socializing. Ancient nations prospered trading goods on the silk road. Not all are cut out to be cloistered nuns. Many will crack up under the pressure. They haven't been well prepared to be purged like a lone monk living stranded on a deserted island isolated from the towns social life, not socializing and involved, watching life pass by and slip right through their fingers. The tv and schools got the prisoners and poisoned poised to toss themselves into the hole and locked down pow concentration camp.
If boys are initiated into manhood by culture then culture existed before manhood and wasn't made by manliness but by catfighting and jealousy and old lady gossip and the burning of the ex-boyfriend's property. Should women get a free pass and boys need to be suppressed and repressed? Does nature initiate girls into sex toys and boys into worker slaves? Nature is wild, a boy. A magician's trick is thought out, civilized, a hoax. Did nature make the queen bee and biblical culture made the worker bee protect her. Or is there no schizophrenia and nature made them both the women the way they are? If before culture boys were wild, and it takes a tame man to get a woman to not reach womanhood and go to prison but to reach it and be civilized and create culture so the culture can domesticate and break the boy, then he couldn't have become the man and put eve in her place and make her start a culture to train him to keep her insanity and fantasying at home. There's women in prison. Did they not naturally reach womanhood? Or is it men, not nature, that stops the deceived eve from being a lying serpent and appearing as an angel of light? The wild animal is innocent, not tame. Insanity is wild, the natural. God wasn't trained, he's wild. Nature is wild, insanity. Sanity isn't natural, it's man made, unnatural, a distortion. Women are natural, nature. Nature initiating itself is circular logic. If the reason she is not good is because he is not tame, and the reason he is not tame is because the culture is not good, and the reason the culture is not good is because nature is not tame, then the reason nature is not tame is because god is good and untamed. Was the culture that failed to make boys into men made up of men, and men were made into men before culture was made, or is the culture that fails made up of girls and women, and if it was made up of boys who made that culture, a wild off the wall man-god?
8:15 - You state that 'Communists' and 'Marxists' think that work "is the main thing". Sorry, isn't that the opposite of what they think? You just described the importance of leisure and the importance of meaningful work and then said this is what communism supports when that's what they oppose. Leisure was central to Marx's thinking - he believed people should be engaging in literary criticism in their evenings but they cannot - hence his criticism.
God made the world go crazy so you can't really take it seriously and be serious about it but only loving it. You don't love problems, you get serious about problems, not happy with them. Are you serious about this life, or about her or him, and see them as a problem? I'm a problem, a serious thing, god is being happy, the answer to the problem. Happy is god, what you don't have time for. You have to get to serious things, the problems, your pleasures.
Problems are serious. Are your pleasures a serious thing to you or just of a throw away and leave behind sort of quality, no big deal, not that serious of a thing to you?
You love good times. not problems. You take problems seriously. You're not happy with them. Do you take yourself and your people and your gold and politics and your political party and nurse and little pleasures and your joy seriously and aren't happy with them?
Why would I join a catholic church that attacks and abandons at the cross it's own kind who are traditional or who question the holocaust, and the whole victimhood narrative, and vatican 2; but a catholic church which at the same time stands up for the illegal aliens, powerful rabbis, and seculars? Why not just stay secular and protected by the catholic church?
If every political office in america had an israeli, or ukranian, politician in it, and not one american wasp, would that be tolerated and accepted by and okay with the catholic church?
I've been listening to several reviews of " Leasure the basis of culture", I think this is the best. Thanks for the podcast.
Thank you, Fr. Blake and Brandon for your Podcast on Leisure. It really helped me understand the difference between authentic leisure and secondary leisure. Even though I am retired, I need to take some time for real authentic leisure.
Leisure the Basis of Culture used to be required reading for incoming freshman at Ave Maria University. I'm glad I was required to read it, but probably need to revisit it.
Enjoyable. Watching The Burrowshire Podcast is one of my leisure activities.
Leisure is about sight. It's about allowing what is there to be received. Essentially, it means an openness and general orientation toward awe and gratitude. Leisure means looking upon creation with awe and gratitude. With this in mind, we see that leisure is an attitude that can be applied to any situation. It is the rejection of cynicism and sarcasm for appreciation. In Christianity, such appreciation is called worship.
Wonderful podcast- I recently reads Piepers book on leisure and this was a nice compliment and refresher to some of the greater themes in the book- well said and well received - god bless you both and your ministry as this episode in itself was quite leisurely for me :)
Great video thanks!

Sitting still in the love seat is comfortable, the progression out of the chair to the destination makes the back and kneecap snap, crackle, and pop and is the painful and uncomfortable.
When I say leisure is not work, what I'm doing is work that is leisure.
Leisure is work, so that work leads to leisure, to work, and leisure leads to itself, to work.
I'm trying to be more leisurely, get more interior castle, but it's not easy and is such a hassle.
I'm trying to be more leisurely, get more interior castle, but it's not easy and is such a hassle.
I'm trying to be more leisurely, and get increasingly interior castle, but it's not easy, and seems like it is just such one big hassle.
but it isn't so easy? and seems as if it is just such one big hassle?
I'm trying to be more leisurely, and dying to get increasingly interior castle, but it isn't so easy you know, and seems as if it is just such one big, dumb, unfun, surely rigged hassle.
it isn't so easy you do know? Put the "do" in there to make a sound similar to the "you"? Unless there is a word already in it besides 'you' that has that sort of sound which I just missed when going over it to see.
"Mere" to sound like interior? "it is just such one big, mere, dumb, unfun, surely rigged up hassle? "Up" to go along with the others that go kind of like the noise of that other?
I'm trying to be much more leisurely, and dying to get increasingly interior castle, but it isn't so easy you do know, and seems as if it is just such one big, mere, dumb, unfun, surely rigged up hassle.
The bible says knowledge puffs up. So maybe that thing a lot of you smart guys say, or something to the extent of, destroys knowledge, is useful. That deducing or reductionism, wherever you all call it, could be there to crush the puffy knowledge that doesn't know the ledge. Or would true knowledge know where the ledge of knowledge ends and that's the knowledge that needs deflating or to be popped. Or is it the thing it puffs up that will shrivel and shrink and cease to be? Or has it vanquished the knowledge to make the puffed up object lose steam?
If you want comfort, you'll rush through things to get them over with so you can get to the rest. So laziness leads to activity, restlessness.
If laziness is active in you, not dead, then it is activity.
Laziness is at work in me. It's working in me. It's the work that's going on in me. It's not knocked out and leaving me alone, but up and awake and bothering me.
Laziness is the activity of my will.
Activity isn't a living being. So it's dead, non-existent. Thus it does not work. Therefore it can't get you out of the trouble you are in called life, the path to death, suffering and loss.
Dullness doesn't feel insane. It gets you down. Being overwhelmed, in an exciting situation, makes you feel like you're going insane. You tell the kid to calm down when he's outwardly very overly excited. You say he's going insane, or getting crazy, or being nuts, or becoming wild, not dull and repetitive, like nature, life, the world, the people.
Believing the bad predicament you're in now can't change, or will have to take long to change, changing slowly over time, like evolutionists say things happen, can break you and zap and drain you of your energy and make you give up. But believing a change can come in a flash, that a miracle can occur, gives you vitality and puts some pep in your step.
I go back and read my stuff later on after I have forgotten about it and have to study it to understand what the writer meant.
If you want a person to go mad lock him in a room with no human contact.
The mad people in insane asylums aren't sitting around planning for the holidays. They cast all their past off to stick with just their delusion.
The lunatic is obsessed with his own idea that he is napoleon. His idea, his plan, is all that matters. All the rest of us are wrong, to him, when we tell him to give up focusing on himself and his own plan so much.
While the family, and the rest of us are planning for the holidays, the drug addict, and sex addict and mentally ill are on solo missions, planning to get their addiction, their insane thought.
The family is sitting together around the holiday dinner table, all having the same goal, to sit there and eat and argue and laugh. But the drug addict, and sex addict, and mentally ill are on their own solo mission and are dead serious about it, it's a job, not a holiday.
The nuts are not all in an insane asylum in unification, all of them saying the same thing, that they're from outer space; they're all doing their own thing.
The nut is in unification with himself. He doesn't doubt his self when his mind tells him he's a walnut.
My mind is still in the habit of hearing a noise in the house and thinking it's my Mom. Then it remembers she's not here anymore.
Or I notice my mind doing that and I remind it that she's here in spirit, not in body right now.
You don't rebody, or remind, your body, you remind your mind.
Your mind forgets and you remind it.
You don't remind your body and make it a mind again, you remind your mind and make it the mind it was that it forgot about but that you remembered.
Be a freethinker; have no limits on your mind, don't limit it to only sanity in there.
I'm not doing it. It's my insanity talking and eating and laughing, not me, not me choosing to do it.
Craziness isn't pseudo-science, it's science, making a better world.
Madness isn't imaginary, it's logical. It's putting the words in my mouth. Thus it can make words. Hence it is alive.
The living can make himself think. The dead can't think. They can't make themselves think. My insanity made me think that. It's living.
The living can make himself write on the wall of his padded cell with feces and his fingers that he is god. The dead can't do that. They can't make themselves do that. It's the living, the insanity, making him do it.
Do exorcists use latin on demons to expel them, and it would be a demons dream for the latin mass to disappear from the earth?
Do protestants go back to the bible but don't go back far enough to the mass that was performed before the bible was put into written form, and the non-traditional mass came long after the bible was around?
Them traditional guys have robes (I think you call them vestments) that have a serpentine flavor to them.
And I think they use lettering for their writings that the gangster's and tough guys use on the words they get tattooed on them.
Fearing your plans being ruined is sensible. The senseless is freedom from that fear. Be sensible, filled with care. I'm senseless.
It's gonna keep harder and harder to stick to the plan and order.
All knowledge is foolishness. Its just thought, not matter, not the real world.
What I just said isn't knowledge, its faith, senseless, pain, loss, death, things not going the way the mind thought they would.
There's a such thing as senseless. So senseless is sensible.
There is a such thing as nonsense. So nonsense is sensible, not a story.
Your plan is in your mind, so its nonsense, madness, not reality.
Reality isn't your plan, so its confusing, madness, nonsense, christ.
The universe is safe, your pal. So you should want it. My words are the danger. Flee from them into the loving embrace of the universe for protection from me and what I say.
A person attached to their loved one won't die for their loved one. Because they will be afraid to be dead and not get to see what they're attached to any longer.
If they're not attached to them, then them dying for them and losing the chance to see and be with them anymore won't be any problem.
You have it good in america. That system that came from the mind of the white supremacist protestant made life easy. Are you gonna end poverty? The billionaire goes bankrupt. Did he just need a trillion, and that would of have done the job?
America has gunshots in it everyday. Your neighborhood in america not having gunshots in it is not america not having gunshots in it. Food spoils and resources aren't everlasting, they come and go, so how do you plan to end poverty? America is in debt, so it's below the poverty line. Don't be negative, think about the dying child in the 3rd world. That'll brighten your day up. Think of the 3rd world's problems so we can find a reason to invade it to save it.
The white males don't need help. They can do it themselves. They're not superior. The others can't do it themselves. They need help. They're no different than white males.
The new fruit that will start to exist next summer, and new day, and new pain, and new lightning bolt, and new magnetic pull, and new idea that will appear, proves life is magic, things coming from magic, not creationism, things coming from the wise.
The nothing in the magicians hat, turning into a rabbit is magic, evolution, nothing changing into something.
They're hope is in this world, not in death. So they won't fight for this world, because fighting will lead them to death.
What'd you do, raise a nation of degenerate nurses in your hospitals?
You know you can trust all those democrats and liberals and left wingers. You dealt with them and heard how much they value human life over human death. They're not the eugenicists party. Put your life in their hands.
Women and children kill too. So those christians who act like you have to be softer on women and children are putting you and your loved one's lives in danger.
The imaginary christ is in my mind. And imaginary things can't really die. So what's in my mind will never die. The dying world is in your mind. It's dying.
I'm a christian. So I'm not having fun. I'm a downer.
I'm a christian. So I have faith and don't focus on the problems.
Having faith is having seriousness. It's not dealing with the problems. Having reason is having fun. It's facing the problems.
Suffering is insane, unreasonable, illogical. A world of no suffering is sane, reasonable, understandable.
Real life is sane. Suffering is real life, sane, reasonable, not faith, so it'll last forever.
There's a whole host of other things I'd rather be doing than typing all this stuff but I ain't got no doe to do them.
If wisdom controls me, then what it's using me to do is a wise thing, it's the plan of wisdom, and I am not in control, so the wisdom is madness. If I am in control, then since I am not wisdom, what I am doing is not the plan of the wise, since wisdom is wise, but is madness.
You cut the dead ends off your hair and your hair then grows better. Don't cut off some of your cash.
You put a needle with a virus in it into you to get the virus out of you. Don't get rid of some of your money to get more to come to you.
You spend energy shopping to get food, so you can eat the food to get energy. Don't spend doe to get loot to flow back in.
You let go of your seed into the ground to grows a plant that gives you more seeds than you let go of. You shouldn't let go of your wealth to get more wealth.
You're cells die, dry up and flake off and are replaced by fresher cells. If your cash dies it won't be the living god that gets you to move on but will be a crucified god that gets you stuck with a bunch of jinxed junk and unable to get that billion you're looking for.
If you didn't breath out air and release it you couldn't catch your breath in the rushing rat race.
You have to lose your first set of teeth to get your stronger second set of teeth to grow in.
I'm sure there's much more examples of this: Snake venom I think is one.
I didn't get to read the book Divine Madness by Josef Pieper yet but I already know what he means already.
How is leisure related to Aristotle's idea of HAPPINESS? Happiness for Aristotle an end in itself and the Highest Good.
If an ape turns into a man without dying, if it doesn't die before it turns into a man, then that's an ape that lived without dying, the immortal chimp, a holy primate. Did the gorrila die and then arose from the dead a living man?
The rock isn't working, the sky wasn't hired for a job, they are leisure, contemplation, a condition of the soul.
Leisure was around before the industrial age, so the further you go back, the more contemplation, leisure, and gardening there was. The beginning is the base, leisure, contemplation, a condition of the soul.
The nomads movement wasn't technology, mechanical, industrial, it was leisure, contemplation, a condition of the soul.
Nature isn't technology, technology is a disposition of the soul and a recognition, it's leisure, labor, contemplation, computerism.
recognize, cognition, cog in the clock, job, condition, misdisposition, ignite, engine, intellect, intent, template, contemplate, temple, sure, leisure, lease an apartment, wheel
An elbow and arrow in the sparrow of the grain rain.
Pain is insane, unreasonable, a miracle. Suffering is evil, useless, and sickness is crazy, unnecessary, prayer, religion and morals.
Humans are habitual creatures by nature. But habit wasn't man's original state, for you get into the habit and don't start in it. So man's first state wasn't natural.
There's one nature, one life, not two nature's, one nature in a nature. So it is not nature that is in nature, it is the non-natural that is in nature.
Christians invented the modern world. There were no moderns around to create it. They didn't show up till the modern world did.
Did the moderns exist before the modern world, and are the more primitive of the two?
They told me I'm in life. I don't believe them. I'll call their bluff. I'll bet them everything they possess that they truly don't know where they're at.
You want a man to love you. You don't want this left wing fuck dream.
You can't be rigid and stiff and a goody two shoes and expect to live good. You need a little bit of deviousness, and cunning, and that craftiness, the christianity, in your life, not just all that other wholesome stuff all the time.
A world of friends and family not sharing poetry and music and paintings and stories with one another but only sharing serious information, and having serious dealings with each other, in order to gain material goods, and obtain, or maintain, one's survival, is a small, narrow, dark, drab, cold, dead, cruel, obsessive, insane world, an absolute and complete insane asylum.
Are they treating life like it's a sinking ship they are on, and they grow panicked and frantic when the water is seen on deck, but once it is bucketed out and thrown overboard they go back to relaxing and ignoring the unseen hole on the bottom of the boat that keeps letting the fluid flow in and up until it is back on the top deck again?
They have to create an image of reality in their mind that is thought, not actually what is outside their mind, thoughtlessness, faith.
That thought of mine is not actually what is outside their mind, it is faith, for thought is just in the mind, faith, not what is outside their mind, thoughtlessness, faith.
Life is serious, not a thought, just in the mind, a joke.
Thoughts are serious business, not what is outside of minds, the thoughtlessness, just a big joke.
I'm weak and paranoid, See, I got the strength to admit that and I'm not paranoid of everyone knowing the real me.
A coward hides themselves. So hiding the truth, not opening up, is cowardice, not something to take pride in.
Imagine how bad your company would run and how much money it would miss out on and lose if it kept itself hidden away from people and didn't advertise.
People don't trust people who are sneaky. People won't do business with a person that seems shady to them and not open and honest.
They call those people street hustlers and two bit gangsters, ghetto superstars, who make you poor if you vote for them, unless you rip people, or the system, off and live in fear and paranoia of getting caught and being found out for it.
Vote for them, and they free and excuse criminal behavior, and then have you living in a world where everyone is scheming and ripping people off and your kid has to live in terror of germs and watch their back out there in the streets lest they come in contact with a wild person who lets themselves get pulled by the mainstream culture into feeding the beast system that makes the streets and world unsafe for their own kid.
Hey, if all are rich, then everyone can pay the judge off and do anything they want and get away with it and you'll have a safe, peace filled, life and world.
So make sure everyone gets rich, not moral.
Everyone should do wrong, so the world becomes more dangerous and you can get a thrill and adrenaline rush from the life they turn into a deadly sport and scary carnival ride, and from the chance of them getting caught doing it and from rebelling against the rules and from getting away with it, and from the big gamble you're taking.
Being negative hurts you. So save yourself, not the world for christ, for doing the latter will get you hurt, that's being negative. Don't expose the evil and bring it out into the light. If you do they'll say you're being negative and hateful and not give you jobs, and by proxy, not give you food. Be about yourself, not others. Once everybody is about themselves it'll be a unified world full of love, the dangerous exciting adventure, not that boring dull hate and drama and cut throat competition.
I'm positive about people being negative. I accept it. I'm not down about it, negative.
Mongols were nomadic after the greek cities were long gone, so early man was a gardener and nomads came later.
Do objects start off moving and then become still, or are they still, then get moved, then slow to a stand still?
Is movement a cause, or do objects cause moving?
Movement without an object is logic, not an object.
No objects, no movement. I didn't make an object with a movement, or a miracle, I made it with a word, or through it, or both.
Is the tree turning sunlight and rain water into apples?
If I link and lock and zipper together two particles to make an apple, then that's 3 things existing, the one particle, the other, and the apple, but only two particles existing, so the apple is invisible, of the spirit.
I call it darth vader science.
The rock isn't working, the sky wasn't hired for a job, they are leisure, contemplation, a condition of the soul.
I look like a decaying angel and a sickly Caesar.
My god leads my enemies into traps.
He makes the road that leads into the traps look like the right road to take.
The civilized are the walking dead.
Later on they say, "When I was young I should have cut those revolutionary types of people in the music videos, and at the political rallies, and sitting behind the news desks reading the weather out of my life when I had the chance and went and got married and settled down and made money and had a bunch of kids instead."
Limitations give you a choice, one or the other. Without limitations, boundaries, borders, one is the other, they have no divider between them, no barrier or fence or separator, resulting in you having no choice, no free will.
If you don't have faith, you got work. You don't wait on God, you don't come to your end, your cross, you do everything yourself, you slave all day.
Play and rest are not work. So they're not of your doing.
God is not a creation, a work. If your god is your creation, he is a work, not play and rest.
They won't let me say a word in a certain manner on youtube. So I'll have to adapt. Here's what I was trying to say: You're gonna d without even trying to die. So dying is not work, it is play and rest.
The trinity is a community. So with just you and the trinity, a thing will happen.
You and god together are a community. So with just you and god it will happen.
My mind communicates with my leg. So I'm a community.
Without a community it won't happen. It will take a miracle. Miracles happen.
God is beyond her understanding. So a god that is understood as one who does not come to man not in community, is not the true god.
How can you trust yourself when he goes against your will and forgets when you don't want to forget?
The crucifixion of God's logic saves.
Today I had two options, leisure or pain. The thinking even hurt, unless it was giving glory to god.
plan - pain - plain - lain - land
If I was thinking of my plan, or thinking it, that I made, or chose, along time ago, or working on it, the physical pain was rising up inside of me.
I'm being forced into being in leisure, or being in pain.
Pray god takes away the pain so I can get back to systematically, and not leisurely, reading Chesterton and thinking, and not have to sit still saying glory be god to make the pain go away.
Even in writing this stuff the pain was fluctuating coming to the surface from out of my heart up to my tooth in varying degrees.
Life isn't fair, it's christianity, it's not just, it's merciful, innocent, a wild violent beast.
The world is a scary place, a medieval catholic church, a dangerous thing the universe be, a theocracy.
Helping me is killing you by taking you off your plans. Being upset that life, with or without me, pulls you off your plans as if it's forcing you to do what my plan is for you, which is your destruction, is not what is zapping your motivation to live and draining your energy from you, and by proxy, stealing and sucking away your health.
Life is energy. It gives you energy. Take away life so your plan remains and energy is gone and not there to give itself to you.
I'm life, what's hurting you, not death, your helper.
Having to lie, hide in plain day basically, takes some effort, it's not easy, it takes your energy to get done, it's dodging the enemy, living in a war zone with no peace.
The top debater's philosophy is more serious than real life is.
The point of the greatest debater ever isn't as silly and simple and funny and crude and unintelligent as the truth is.
The earth kills more than hitler, it's ultra nazi, opposed to you.
The universe makes more people work than a slavemaster did. Abolish it.
Life injures more women than a 1950's american husband did. It's mean. Vote it out of existence.
Reality beats down into the dirt way more gays than a proselytizing evangelizing street preacher does. Ban speech. Reality is a fundamentalist hunting them and a tv pastor forcing them to give their good things to him.
The depression is trying to rise up in me to the top, into my mind from my heart.

The depression is cavernous.
Not having your mind on the moment is having it on the future, having it closer to being on death, or having it in the past, closer to your pre-existence, your non-existence, your death.
To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. - 2 Corinthians 2:16
The amish aren't trying to control me, or ruling over me without my consent, or so powerful that they're on the verge of doing so. So why would I have a problem with them instead of with those who are trying get the amish to live under their rule, and their way, by demonizing, dehumanizing, and defaming them, who try to coerce, and trick, and manipulate, and bully, and threaten and force me to go against the amish and to also be under their rule and having their sick fear of someone not living like them and joining an alliance with them and being controlled by them in my mind too?
They mock the amish all while trying to break their addiction to technology and get back to the land and live the simple life and go on long vacation to escape the cosmopolitan flash and show and nice guy put on and humanitarian act.
Is your health a great movie that you are in utter amazement of, and awestruck by, at all times, or is your health just real life, not a movie, but boring and uninteresting to you, or is it a complex puzzle that's too hard for you and your doctors to complete?
Me turning into something else would be me going away, the opposite of growing, which is me staying and even more and more of me coming, so, me staying even more.
Me changing into something else would be me disappearing, the opposite of growing, which is me remaining, and more and more of me appearing and appearing.
My hair grows in slowly over a hundred thousand years.
It took a billion years for my second set of teeth to grow.
I'm not change, transformation, evolution, I'm meat, creationism.
I'm not all seeing. My sight is limited, So I'm a contradiction, a myth, a seer that is not a seer.
Did I tell ya that my favorite historical figure in lord of the rings is tom bombadil so far yet?
The priests always had the secret knowledge of lasers.
The living die. The dead are already dead. They don't die. The moment you die you'll be dead. And only the living die. So you'll be alive that same moment, the moment you die. Thus you are dead when you are alive, a contradiction, not sound logic like a being who is only alive and not dying is.
You don't die when you're dead, you are alive when you die and are dead. You're not the dead that dies, but living while dying, while having died you will have been alive. When you die you are dead, and the alive are the one's who die, so when you die you will be the dead life.
A being that is alive and does not die is reasonable. A being that dies while it is alive is a contradiction, nonsense, the living dead, foolish. You won't be dead and die when you are dead, you will die when you are alive, and be dead as you live.
A dying god can't be in my mind, for then he would be not in time, and have no end time, no dying time. The empirical evidence proves a dying god in a mind, a dying god that never began at any time and who will never be finished at some time. He's dead to dying.
Facts are outside mind. A dying god that is a contradiction is a fact. Facts are fools, not reason. A dying god that is not a contradiction is a fool, a fact.
Reason is a dying god, a fact, a genius. Minds are genius and facts don't mind.
I'm a bore, god, a game, not work, fun, life.
I'm work, a bore, life, not god, a game, fun.
Life is a game you're in. That's why you're constantly climbing out of the pit and trying not to fall to the bottom of it and are dodging so you are not pushed back down into from where you came.
I should have said from whence you came. The modern mind is taking me down into the dark pit of just ripping and growling with no words.
Life is a vacation from the job, from death, the laborious.
Death takes no effort on your part, it's a day off.
You don't have to work at dying. It's not a job you have to do for it to get done. It's not work, it's play.
You want many things. It's harder to carry many things than it is less things.
So having more stuff makes your life harder and leaves you less free. Thus those with the most stuff have it the hardest and are the one's who need your help.
I've been trying to be a factory, the farmer and the seasons, the plow, the pulling cow, and the rain and the sunray. It doesn't work.
Don't be a robot, complain, it's natural, human.
A complaint is a disease. If you hide a disease you're in denial and won't be able to look at it to work on fixing it and making it work for you.
The ancients, like the greeks, incorporated the patients dreams into their medical practices.
The poor get stuff from the rich. So if the rich are healed and functional, and not beaten and demoralized, it'll be better for the poor.
The poor get stuff from the rich. So if the riches are given to those who have been proven to not be able to handle money, then it won't turn out good for the poor.
The pope is suppose to be the village shaman and town witchdoctor, wild and colorful compare to the rest of the tribe.
Life made you feel all warm and fuzzy and crystal clear and uncomplicated and lucid and coherent and glassy and see-through and uncloudy and complete and entire and clean inside when you were younger, when you had less power over the situation, when you took your time and didn't have death on your mind making you rush to get everything you want done done before it's too late, unlike how dark and heavy and down and gloomy you felt when you were an adult.
There's a bunch of other words that fit in there but I don't want to make it and be complicated.
Life didn't make you feel that way. That's just how you were until you thought more of yourself than you should have and were confident you were winning by addition and not that winning is quality, not quantity, and less way to go, not more.
The guy on the race track winning, the one in the lead, has less to go.
He has less distance to cover, less to do.
Subtracting, not adding, how much of the length of the race track below your feet, with your movement, you must go, putting it behind you, is getting closer to winning.
If people have to be taught to keep themselves safe, and have to be reasonable and experienced to understand that teaching to try to be secure, why does a babbling baby, when he begins to walk, not flop backwards, on purpose (like a man who lets himself freely fall back onto his couch, or into his chair, exhausted, after a hard days work), banging the back of his head on the hard wood floor, but instead tries to stay balanced and erect and goes back to the crawling position carefully?
Your job isn't to rest. The rest will come naturally. It is the work of nature. So rest is work.
Rest doesn't magically appear. It isn't magic. It takes work. It's hard work! Is gravity working and pulling you to the bed?
Is your hearing working, or away on vacation, or playing a fool, or conjuring a spell?
Is the lifeless medicine doing it's job? Is the dead pill working?
Rest isn't the stone's job. The stone doesn't work. The stone is not working. The sky is free from responsibility. The wind is taking a break. So rest is god's job, or the task of the labor and play; it's their duty to perform, wearing you out. They put it into action. They play wargames against you. God, fun, movement and thinking brings it into play. They initiate and install and produce the sleep and dreary weariness for you to wear.
Rest isn't work. It's not a creation. It has no beginning. At no moment did it start. It always existed.
The bible says there's a day of rest, and says there's no rest for the wicked, and says they shall not enter my rest, and says god rested on the last day at the end. What's the end goal of the bible, rest, not belief, or charity?
Making money is not mathematical. It is magical. You invest 1 dollar into a magicians top hat, and two dollars come out of the madcap.
Making money is turning lead into gold, changing a little into a lot.
Which is more mathematically sound, having zero dollars and owing zero, or owing 100,000 dollars and having just spent your last little bit of money?
Shouldn't the monkey have long hair on the top of his head down to his waist and man only have short hair grow on his skull?
If life was run by science, it'd be heaven on earth, a garden of eden here, but life is hard, it's controlled by satan.
The love story you want your life to be is filled with suspense just like your real life is.
Your mind shouldn't accept what I say and be at peace. It should be in conflict with it, conflicted, not entering god's rest.
Is god divided, a schizophrenic, or in him is work play?
I create play, it's my life's work.
Sitting still for an hour is harder for him than walking for an hour is. So stillness is work and movement is rest.
Do you notice they're telling you that you're corny and boring if you're staying safe and not daring, and cool and fun if you do things that get you into trouble and lead to your destruction?
That couple thinks play, the relaxed and simple and easy and childish and innocent, is neglect of duty, and will take away, and make them lose, their livelihood and ruin their lives; but that work, the intense and strenuous, the serious and stressful and hurrying, is what's giving them life and reinforcing and strengthening their nerves of steel, and not what's giving them a nervous breakdown and a house of strife filled with panic and worry.
Nerves that are relaxed are flexible, soft, jelly-like. Nerves of steel are stiff, tight, uncomfortable.
Will your line of reasoning that you followed to reach and come to your conclusion that evolution exists always be reasonable and will not evolve into just faith, and your line of reasoning doesn't evolve and is creationism?
You're part of the tree of life like I'm part of the mystical body of christ.
Did you evolve from a tree, or are you still part of a tree of life and haven't evolved past being an unreasoning tree yet?
A tree limb is physically connected to the rest of the tree. You are not stitched to the side of a monkey or screwed to a missing link. So you are on no tree of life, except in your mental, mystically.
A reasonable thing made the universe. So it uses its reason, and reasons.
Evolution is reasonable. The universe is creation; it can't be reasoned with.
If being passive is senseless, then the being passive that is sensible is the senseless one of the two, since it doesn't exist.
I read a line from josef pieper's leisure and I got to thinking 20 different things having to do with passiveness and sense. I do that with gk too sometimes. I read something they write and what they said is so interesting to me I can mull over it in my brain in a number of ways, picking it apart and reforming it.
You take a rest to get your bearings about you, to gather your thoughts, to regain your senses. So work makes you lose your senses, therefore it is senseless, and it does the job of making you senseless, so it works, thus it's makes sense and is sensible.
passive passion
Sense isn't a living being. Hence it's passive.
The words "being passive is senseless," are not alive or physical, and are not doing the job on me, so they're passive, senseless
Man is not an action. He's passivity. So the passive, passivity makes a job and does the work.
Look, he won't partake or engage in being passive. See, he's passive.
You work for sense (not for nonsense), you don't sense for sense, so work is senseless, passive.
Get active or you'll make sense.
Senseless is not natural, it's a need. It's not science. It's the goal science is going to make you reach.
You work to get paid. Getting paid is not work for you, it's a reward, not the job, the sensible, the activity, but the nonsense, the passivity.
Sense is the job. It doesn't do the job.
The world is sensible. It wore you down and out. So the sensible makes you passive.
You use your sense. You don't make it. It's not labor.
Sense doesn't give birth or build objects. It makes no sense.
You use your sense. It doesn't use you. So its not working. It's passive.
You do the task of thinking. Thinking doesn't do the work of thinking or lifting furniture. Thinking doesn't work.
Work is the job, it doesn't do the job.
You are not sense. You, nonsense, have a job for you to do.
Is the bible correct when it says you can overcome all things, or is the situation hopeless and something is overcoming you and you are going down and headed into the dark terrible gloom with the skeptical modern minds who doubt what the bible says?
Death is not movement, or matter, it is mind.
If you want a dramatic comedic dull horror movie, get in a relationship with me.
You'll hear me cry and laugh and rage all in a 12 minute span.
A lot of dirt too. I'm very dirty.
I have gone on a spiritual journey that led to me being mistaken for a homeless guy when I'm out on the street. And climbing back out of the black pit I travelled into has proven more difficult than I thought it would be.
I fell on my head when I was younger during a fight and pinched a nerve in my neck. As I've grown older the left side of my body, and sometimes now my right, have been acting up. It's connected to the mind and the beast inside though too.
And one time I was standing up on a wooden hand railing out in the rain in an excited state and slipped off and nailed my head on the thick solid wood.
Is mean beautiful and pleasing, or is mean ugly and sad?
Can one be mean without being spiteful?
You get bored of things you do, so why would you think that what you like doing now also won't grow old and become boring to you, and think that all things in this world will not eventually do the same?
It's easy to be mean. So the weak can do that. It takes strength to be kind to the mean and not mean back to them. It's not for the weak minded and fainthearted and soft nerved.
They'll eventually see that the one's they thought weren't in the know and thought were behind the times were actually the one's they hadn't caught up to yet who had passed them, and where they're stuck at, by a long time ago and had already been there and done that and moved on to better, or at least more realistic, things.
Late to the game but thinking they're in first place.
Snake language is nonsense. So the hiss of the serpent isn't snake language, nonsense, it's sense he's hissing at you. You hear him making sense, not a story or a lie or a delusion.
Does your mind exist, and god is in your mind, in what exists, not in a fairy land, not in what does not exist?
Is your disbelief in God just in your mind, and your mind is the god your disbelief is in, or is your disbelief out of your mind, and in the God out there, or is God in your mind, and he has a compartment, maybe of wood or made out of metal, in him, a space, that your disbelief is actually in?
Is the unbelievable god in existence, or is there no such thing as an unbelievable god, and the unbelievable god is just in your mind, and the God that cannot be believed in is only man made?
History goes from bad to better, so jungle tribes had advanced genius torture devices and methods, and modern man has crappy useless torture devices and methods.
The universe evolved from bad to better. So the day the universe started there was just white male billionaire christians with guns and the covid virus, and now it's better, there's just black female satan worshipping lesbians who don't know how to make a gun, or have guns to protect and defend themselves against the advanced steel tiger teeth and cuddly comets, sharing their goods and valuables and just a common cold.
Nature evolves from primitive to genius. In the past people knew how to start a fire, provide their own food, and make their own shelters and cloths to survive, like competent adults, but now like dependent children they have to wait on others to do those things for them to save them.
In the horrible past women had to do all the work, but now they have progressed and get to rest the most.
Proverbs 31:10-31 These are the wise sayings that King Lemuel’s mother taught him: How hard it is to find the perfect wife. Her husband depends on her. He will never be poor. She does good for her husband all her life. She is always gathering wool and flax and enjoys making things with her hands. She is like a ship from a faraway place. She brings home food from everywhere. She wakes up early in the morning, cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share. She looks at land and buys it. She uses the money she has earned and plants a vineyard. She works very hard. She is strong and able to do all her work. She works late into the night to make sure her business earns a profit. She makes her own thread and weaves her own cloth. She does not worry about her family when it snows. She has given them all good, warm clothes. She makes sheets and spreads for the beds, and she wears clothes of fine linen. Her husband is well known and sits still with the elders in the center of town. She makes clothes and belts and sells them to the merchants. She oversees the care of her house. She is never lazy.
A thought is not faith, it is intelligence. Faith is not thinking, not intelligence. God is faith, not a thought.
Intelligence is intelligent, a good idea, not a natural thoughtless process, but an intelligent design.
Thoughts are natural, intelligent designs.
A thought is not faith, a thought is intelligent. God is faith, not intelligent, not a thought. God is a thought, an intelligence, not faith.
A thought is an intelligence, not the unintelligent, faith, thoughtlessness.
Christianity is man made, just a thought, man not thinking, so man is a thought not thinking.
If God is a thought, then thinking of god is thinking, not faith, no thinking. If god is faith, then God is not thinking, and just is not existing by faith.
If I was under no man's law, free, all on my own, I'd have less stuff, no help.
The baby is controlled by the parents. So it is not free and has stuff without having to work for it. The adult is free from the parent's control. So it has stuff but by doing hard work. So the free have it harder.
You can't help the body without first helping the soul. Isn't a computer with no software useless?
If you don't get the bullet, or shard of glass out from inside the body, the wound will heal over but you'll have problems.
You don't make a person work and then train them for the job, you train and teach their brain how to do the job first.
You don't play the game and then practice for it, you first go over the plays at practice and get them in your mind and then you are ready to play the game.
The flower needs water. It doesn't make itself grow. It doesn't do a rain dance and make the water come to it.
Others problems don't bother you as much as your own. So if you focus on others problems it won't bother you as much as when you focus on your own.
Different body parts do different things than one another. If they all tried to be the ear and just listen the body would die, taking down all the other parts with it.
Trying to make the whole car just a steering wheel is insane and obsessing over with one part.
Is the team going to win if every player on it is the quarterback and all calling their own personal plays?
Is an army going to be victorious if the lines of communications between it's soldiers on the field and it's generals up on high are cut off?
Do you want the surgeon to be obsessive, or messy, when he's operating on you?
Forrest Gump:
Lieutenant Dan was always getting these funny feelings about a rock or a trail or the road, so he'd tell us to get down, shut up.
Lieutenant Daniel Taylor:
Get down! Shut up!
Forrest Gump:
So we did.
Isolating and not socializing was taking my health. But then a real bad time came and put me in a position where I had to be humble and reach out to people or starve. And that communication with others is giving me back a balanced mind and routine, which in turn is benefitting my physical health.
I'm dead serious when I tell you that it is the seriousness that is killing you.
I'm dead serious when I tell you not to be living serious.
Are you impractical when you think you have to do things to be practical, or are you practical before you do anything, and doing is not going to make you practical?
Is doing the dying thing being practical?
Jumping off a cliff is taking action. It's you doing something. So it must be practical.
Health isn't an action. So it's impractical.
If thinking isn't a job, then it's impractical. And if it is impractical, then thinking working is practical, is impractical.
Being alive is a state of being, not an activity, so it's impractical. Playing artistic games and putting on an act like you're a fairy godmother are activities, so they're practical.
Restricting oneself to only thinking of, or talking about, and doing what's practical isn't practical, it's administering restrictions to meat when even a machine like a clock can't keep up or in sync with things and must be turned forward or set back to stick with the falling behind and picked up pace of time during the changes which occur called seasons.
Practice is practical. But actually playing in the game is serious business, go time, playful, taking place on your day off, no big deal, not a job, no work.
If you're in the habit of going slow you'll spend slow and not make rash rushed financial decisions.
If you're practiced in going fast you'll be in the habit of spending your health, wealth, intelligence and love fast in a mad dash.
In a race there's a finish line. Is death the finish line you're trying to beat everyone to?
There's a finish line in a race. Is racing the reward you're trying to get in first place for and first in line for?
Money comes and goes. So how can it be the end goal? I got money. I got a penny. Is the race over for me now, or is money a finish line and trophy and victory story that can be lost and taken from you and spent up and wasted away and not a practical thing to make the finish line you're trying to get to first and is what you can take your time getting and go to slow and spend wisely, knowing what quality is as well as quantity and understanding what is just garbage and practical and going to chase you around and hunt you down to get you to pay and beg.
If it's draped and covered in bright colors that doesn't mean it's not junk, and if it's plain, not a party and dying down, then it's like peace, sustaining, what you're looking for, not fast furious noisy fiery life taking complex war.
George Bernard Shaw said, "Jesus Christ is a first-rate political economist.”
The dust doesn't work. the sky isn't carrying out a duty, the puddle isn't doing a good job. So nature is not practical, a practitioner of religious rituals is. The dead aren't laboring. The night isn't at work. The moment doesn't have a job to get done before it's too late. Performance is for actors, tasks are set by spirits. Miracles, not miles and oval and green, operate and are functioning. Pebbles aren't building and planning and civilizing and inventing and selling and figuring and directing, delivering, activated, engaged, toiling, striving and hustling or in training and practicing.
The universe is God's work, not mine, Propulsion isn't money, a company, or commercial, the practical, it's a curse, practically impractical.
Being alone is boxing yourself in. People out and about, having not painted themselves into a corner, get things.
Global Trade takes human interaction.
The hermit living alone in a cave with no community to communicate with starts acting a little goofy and somewhat off.
Sales require some sort of socializing.
Ancient nations prospered trading goods on the silk road.
Not all are cut out to be cloistered nuns. Many will crack up under the pressure.
They haven't been well prepared to be purged like a lone monk living stranded on a deserted island isolated from the towns social life, not socializing and involved, watching life pass by and slip right through their fingers.
The tv and schools got the prisoners and poisoned poised to toss themselves into the hole and locked down pow concentration camp.
If boys are initiated into manhood by culture then culture existed before manhood and wasn't made by manliness but by catfighting and jealousy and old lady gossip and the burning of the ex-boyfriend's property. Should women get a free pass and boys need to be suppressed and repressed? Does nature initiate girls into sex toys and boys into worker slaves?
Nature is wild, a boy. A magician's trick is thought out, civilized, a hoax.
Did nature make the queen bee and biblical culture made the worker bee protect her. Or is there no schizophrenia and nature made them both the women the way they are? If before culture boys were wild, and it takes a tame man to get a woman to not reach womanhood and go to prison but to reach it and be civilized and create culture so the culture can domesticate and break the boy, then he couldn't have become the man and put eve in her place and make her start a culture to train him to keep her insanity and fantasying at home.
There's women in prison. Did they not naturally reach womanhood? Or is it men, not nature, that stops the deceived eve from being a lying serpent and appearing as an angel of light?
The wild animal is innocent, not tame.
Insanity is wild, the natural.
God wasn't trained, he's wild.
Nature is wild, insanity. Sanity isn't natural, it's man made, unnatural, a distortion.
Women are natural, nature. Nature initiating itself is circular logic.
If the reason she is not good is because he is not tame, and the reason he is not tame is because the culture is not good, and the reason the culture is not good is because nature is not tame, then the reason nature is not tame is because god is good and untamed.
Was the culture that failed to make boys into men made up of men, and men were made into men before culture was made, or is the culture that fails made up of girls and women, and if it was made up of boys who made that culture, a wild off the wall man-god?
8:15 - You state that 'Communists' and 'Marxists' think that work "is the main thing". Sorry, isn't that the opposite of what they think? You just described the importance of leisure and the importance of meaningful work and then said this is what communism supports when that's what they oppose. Leisure was central to Marx's thinking - he believed people should be engaging in literary criticism in their evenings but they cannot - hence his criticism.
God made the world go crazy so you can't really take it seriously and be serious about it but only loving it.
You don't love problems, you get serious about problems, not happy with them. Are you serious about this life, or about her or him, and see them as a problem?
I'm a problem, a serious thing, god is being happy, the answer to the problem.
Happy is god, what you don't have time for. You have to get to serious things, the problems, your pleasures.
Problems are serious. Are your pleasures a serious thing to you or just of a throw away and leave behind sort of quality, no big deal, not that serious of a thing to you?
You love good times. not problems. You take problems seriously. You're not happy with them. Do you take yourself and your people and your gold and politics and your political party and nurse and little pleasures and your joy seriously and aren't happy with them?
My authority isn't reasonable, from man, it's just faith, from god.
Why would I join a catholic church that attacks and abandons at the cross it's own kind who are traditional or who question the holocaust, and the whole victimhood narrative, and vatican 2; but a catholic church which at the same time stands up for the illegal aliens, powerful rabbis, and seculars? Why not just stay secular and protected by the catholic church?
If every political office in america had an israeli, or ukranian, politician in it, and not one american wasp, would that be tolerated and accepted by and okay with the catholic church?
