Tessa you may already know david reisman's book the lonely crowd. i think it would resonate particularly with anyone dealing with historical baggage left over from the soviet era, although his perspective is very american-centric https://annas-archive.org/md5/aa18af5db2ed656ad2194189daa5865f

he extrapolates on erich fromm's concepts of being inner-directed, outer-directed or other-directed and the implications thereof including succeptibility to divide-and-conquer. not hard to guess which personality trait is most effective when confronted with that kind of situation

otherwise my personal opinion :) is that the fact that we are here to begin with is proof of our worth. if we were worth nothing we would not have been chosen for whatever we are here for (and which we agreed to do, i believe). obviously the challenge is to live up to that potential, although you don't seem to be having a hard time doing that!

Thank you for the link! Looks very interesting!

I agree, I, too, feel that our importance to this world is intrinsic. Our souls have been created, and so have our bodies and we chose to be born in this place at this time, and we have work to do!! It feels illogical to me that the Creator would create us for no reason or with no purpose. And it seems that by virtue of emerging from the energy of the Creator and being parts of the Creator who experience free will and don't know everything (know very little as human beings, in fact, but intrinsically know something very unique about love), we are very important.

It is all a mystery that each of us sorts out from the inside and that feels infinite.

On a much more mundane topic, I have mixed feelings about those archiving websites. They make life easier, for sure, but at the same time, my entrance into transhumanism research was through musicians' activism around Big Tech and their missionaries creating (deliberately) a feeling that stealing intellectual property such as art was good and noble. The point was for Big Tech to put their hands on all that people create, steal potential income from creators,, and most importantly, use the "data" to build their perfect AI. A complex situation!

on one hand i owe my knowledge of pretty much everything outside of rock n roll to the original napster, pirate bay, all the sharelocker sites (going back a few years, i know!). on the other, it was frustrating to see music ceasing to be a viable consumer product around 2004-2005. i think i once got a check for $150 from BMI, otherwise my income has been limited to concerts, touring, hired gun type stuff. these days the only people making money from album sales are selling oldschool analog vinyl!

and of course all of this is a data grab because the data lords (maria schneider's phrase) want everything, and ultimately the akashic records. hubris to the most logical extreme. allison mcdowell thinks that's their ultimate goal and i agree. but god isn't digital and being made in the image of the divine, neither are we ;)

I think I am naturally inward looking. I measure myself against music. My love of it, my accomplishment in it, my ability to reach heights of understanding and experience through it. That is not all I am, but certainly it is a guiding thread, and my closest companions have a connection to music and or other types of creativity..

Having spent years pondering a lot of things about life, the universe, God, good and evil and everything else that keeps playing on in my quest for knowledge, understanding and fulfillment, it always comes down to being in the united state of gratitude.

A teacher I’ve known my entire adult life added this. By following this simple advice, gratitude always rises up like cream at the top:

If you want to be wealthy, be generous

If you want to be strong, be humble

And if you want to be wise, be simple

Grateful for your connection to your heart ❤️

It’s contagious and very apparent.

Worth is neither bestowed nor earned. We are an animal and I can think of no other creature where worth isn't inherent. A foxes value is in his fox-ness, in the act of being a living fox. Ours then, must be in our being a living human, so why does that feel untrue? I would argue it feels so because we stopped living as we are supposed to. Our worth as a human should be manifested by being part of a tribe. A bee is worthwhile BOTH as a solitary bee, but also as part of a hive. Until we re-connect with our our real selves, return to our natural way of being, become, tribal animals once more, we will continue to confusedly ask questions like why am I here, and what am I worth, wrongly assuming they are existential questions rather than practical ones..

All living beings are worthy because they are put here by THE CREATOR/THE GREAT SPIRIT and all carry the divine within them. When corrupted by THE ADVERSARY, we must try to heal them. A life form may not know the purpose of its existence, but being here is purpose enough. We are all part of the CREATIVE LIFE FORCE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE and the more in tune with that, the better and yes, in tune, it's cosmic music in there and out there!

About living up to one's potential in harmony with heaven, earth and all living beings and cultivating unity of mind, body and spirit.

It's all delightfully woo if one is open to it.

You are not what you do, but you do what you are.

How much are you worth? You are uniquely precious!

Science proved that you are worth infinite value. To understand this, you’d need to read all of this. Have patience.

Where does the universe come from? Science proves that, out of nothing, nothing comes, yet God created EVERYTHING out of NOTHING, especially our immortal soul.

Science proved that God loves us so much, that He incarnated and shed every single drop of His precious Blood for each one of us (even if you were the only one on earth), to adopt us as sons/daughters of God and make us happy in this life but especially in the eternal one (Heaven), saving us from unhappiness in this life and in eternal one (hell). This is why you are worth more than all the riches, pleasures, knowledge or power on earth. You are worth your weight not in gold but in something eternally precious: love!

Is the concept of “god” a comfort-blanket for the weak, who can’t cope with the hopeless fact that we were all born to die? Is religion just a community-net for the feeble, needing psychological support for the complete certainty that, in the face all ending in death, our dreams and quests are in vain?

Some agree with this person’s comment: “Sheeple are not known for independent thinking. They are very good at following, however. They think that they are going to the sheep paradise in the sky, not the slaughter house. They think shepherds have affection for them. HAHA

The shepherds fleece them, and make lambchops. Sheep are their income. Pastors and priests are deceiving pimps who have absolutely no love for their sheep.”1

Or is it that the unbelievers are ignoring the vast unquestionable rational and scientific evidence proving the existence of the immortal soul, unique-ensoulment, Judgement by God, eternal heaven, hell, and true religion?

Atheists and agnostics would start to find answers in peer-reviewed Near Death Experiences. Consciousness, intelligence, will, are all spiritual properties of the spiritual immortal soul. How do we know that? some of the blind from birth see in colors for the first time when they are brain dead (no electricity, no activity, no blood-flow, no oxygen) and also no heartbeat and no breathing. The same happens with some of the deaf: they listen for the first time to conversations around or if they go up, even celestial music!

“there are characteristic features that are commonly observed in NDEs. These characteristics include a perception of seeing and hearing apart from the physical body, passing into or through a tunnel, encountering a mystical light, intense and generally positive emotions, a review of part or all of their prior life experiences, encountering deceased loved ones, and a choice to return to their earthly life.”

"God is love" says the Bible, the Word of God (1 John 4:7-12) Do you believe in love? then you believe in God. How do you prove love to yourself? If you prove love, you prove God! There’s no love without God, the source of all true love. He’s not only the love of my life, He’s the life of my love!

Jesus said “I’m... the life.” (John 14:16)

“God gives life to everything.” (1 Timothy 6, 13)

Do you believe in life? You prove life, you prove God, eternal life, source of all life:

https://www.openbible.info/topics/god_is_life

That is where you should start your journey of discovery, but first pray: "God, life of my love, if you exist, please show me the way to find the bliss of knowing You"

or even better:

Feel-think this with all your heart: “Jesus, if you are the Son of God, I consecrate my heart to your Heart. Please send me the Holy Spirit so I can see Truth and have the courage to change and follow Him wherever He leads.” Amen!

If you want to find the true Church, among 40 thousand denominations, start reading the writings of the first Christians, before the Roman Empire, like Augustine of Hippo (start with Confessions):

Irenaeus of Lyon, etc.:

https://ccel.org/fathers

You'll discover which Church is the most faithful to the Bible and early Christianity before the Roman Empire. Hint: which religion you would belong to, if you were born 600 years ago, continuing uninterruptedly the teachings held by the early Christians?

If you read thoroughly John 6, the followers that left, didn't leave because "the Spirit that gives life and the flesh which profits nothing" but because they thought Jesus was telling them that they had to turn into cannibals by actually eating His flesh, just as the bread from heaven (manna).

He didn't mean that the consecrated bread would be just a symbol for His presence but actually His REAL physical presence. That's why he didn't stop them from leaving Him in the dozens or hundreds by saying?:

"Hey come back, it was just another parable, a symbolic metaphor !"

Because Jesus was indeed talking literally!

Tessa, you are absolutely correct—you are not just a human being but a spiritual being who is worthy, powerful, and infinite. What you say about respecting different opinions is so important, and I believe this is precisely why X (formerly Twitter), after Elon bought it and stood up for free speech, became such a crucial and valuable platform. It allowed diverse perspectives to interact freely, which is why those in positions of power sought to control it. Much love, xoxo!

Thank you, Gina!

My experience with Twitter has been different. I started writing critically about Big Tech and transhumanism in at least 2014, and censorship on different platforms including Twitter, came shortly. After Musk bought Twitter, Twitter censorship became worse for me. It makes logical sense to me. After all, he is the individual behind Starlink and Neurolink, both far from freedom-supporting endeavors. I know some people, including some of my friends, believe that he is standing up for free speech, I think it is not the case, maybe a distraction. I don't go to war about this opinion, we are all entitled to our internal thinking, but my experience with Twitter censorship tells me that he does not support freedom for real.

Expand full comment

It is really weird that you experienced this kind of censorship after Musk bought Twitter, I trust and believe you, but for most people it has been the opposite. Censorship was so bad as you already know that it made a significant difference. And I am not the kind of person who is seeing Musk as a saviourv or agrees with everything he does; - for one, I personally would never have a chip in my brain - but this is the mistake most people make, they wait for the perfect person in positions of power or government position and this will never happen. We have to understand that it is important issues that we have to agree on, the rest it is always a matter of debate and discussion, which is why free speech is important. So sorry for the long reply, but I think I wanted to express what I think. 🙏❤️

I really like your long reply,, Gina! Thank you. I have my strong opinions about Musk, given his contributions to Big Tech and his family history but at the same time, I am happy for any sincere and well-intended human being who has benefitted from his actions, whether those actions are for real or a facade. Benefits are still good! I have not personally seen them (censorship got worse for me) but I am still happy for my fellows for whom things improved!

X keeps blocking thousands of freedom fighters' accounts and keeps shadow banning us.

Elon is part of the problem, not the solution!

Elon, good cop in a bad op?

He’s playing good-cop in the good/bad cop psy-op, while furthering Global Government goals:

1. E-persona: turning X (600 million active users) into an all-in-one wallet for a Chinese-style Social Credit System1, like WeChat (1.4 billion) and AliPay (1.3)2, 90% of Chinese mobile payments.

Other weaponizable apps over 1 billion users: Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp (3.1), YouTube (2.5), TikTok (1.6), Telegram (1).

2. Heavily subsidized by your taxes: Electric Vehicles causing cancer (drivers at an unshielded EMF from 400 V power line)

3. Heavily subsidized by your taxes: Solar energy

4. Satellite Surveillance Grid

5. Artificial Surveillance Intelligence

6. Surveillance and transhumanist neuro-implants

7. Sex robots: he’s fond of porn, escorts and many perversions. 3

He’s done a terrific job in furthering those goals, standing on trillions of dollars coming from Government: juicy overpriced contracts, subsidies, monopolistic regulations, etc. Without Government aid, Musk wouldn't have achieved anything. Without Government’s generous milk coming from your taxes, Musk would lose everything. He wouldn't get critical income. He wouldn’t be able to pay the Bank loans. He’s completely in the hands of the masons in Government and Banking.

For example, without draconian taxes and laws against combustion cars and huge tax-deductions, subsidies and grants for EVs, they can’t compete, costing at least twice as much as fuel cars in free-markets, with much lower autonomy and with the huge cancer rate. The free market would bankrupt Tesla and similar companies in seconds. Why do all governments get the consumers to pay hundreds of billions to the EV industry? The same reason they pay trillions in “green” energy (Musk’s Solar City): mason media has succeeded in brainwashing the electorate about their anti-scientific eco-narrative.

The price of doing great things fast

comes with great strings attached.

Through his main companies, Musk is heavily sucking the Government’s tits. He is not just sucking, but sacking (plundering, looting) the government through an umbilical cord. Musk fortune is a deep-state baby. Elon is disposable and replaceable, as proven by all Masons who dared to get out. If Musk dares to disobey, they cut the cord and abort their baby, resuscitating the offspring under chapter 11, with new bankster leadership.

One of the objectives of buying Twitter was to get bargaining power over presidential candidates like Trump.

With NASA contracts for SpaceX, government purchases of Teslas and solar, and, even more, Government subsidies to solar and EVs, Elon maximized indirect return on investment, more than X value. If he lost, the left would still support all of that anyway, being fully aligned with Agenda 2030: Elon made more money with Biden than with Trump’s first term! Supporting Trump was a calculated win-win.

To expect "worth" to be bestowed on you unconditionally is counter to natural law. It is not unreasonable to expect your immediate family to hold you in high regard unconditionally, but the fact of the matter is we live in a predatory universe, and you either pull your own weight or figure out how to get others to pull it for you. It is a very positive experience to be recognized for the person you are, and for your accomplishments, but these are transitory, enjoyed for a few moments and then it's time to get back to work, no? Self worth is your own dispassionate evaluation of yourself, not an external validation of opinion and attention from others.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, William. I really enjoy having a conversation about this very complex topic ONLINE out of all places, during the time when online culture can be challenging.

I think it goes back to what the word "worth" actually means. Does it mean being entitled to being loved unconditionally as the kind of energy? On that topic, I think unconditional love is a foundation of this universe, and so we are by birth bound to it, whether we realize it or not.

Does it mean validating all of our opinions? To me it does not mean that. Opinions are fleeting, we change them all the time as we grow (and the aspiring masters want to hider that process and have us marry our dogma and defend it with tooth and claw).

At the end of the day, the world makes the most sense to me at this moment if "worth" means "living in unconditional love for oneself and for others." I suspect we all have our own internal feeling of this word.
