I was there at that FloteFest in 2022 when John Bush took that zany pic after his Freedom Cells presentation. I am the bearded guy way in back wearing a brown hat with feathers in it, under one of the tent things. Fun times. Noodle salad.
This morning I had occasion to post an essay about paladin training. In it I quote a favourite psalm. "Be still and know that I am God." In the religious society of the friends of Jesus we try to sit still and also still the voice in the mind, that ongoing monologue that talks about the things going on. People who meditate learn to silence their own inner voice. And then you can hear God when God chooses to speak to you.
We are all connected to God through our souls, all the time. God can feel everything we feel. And if you go to God in prayer you can be guided. God loves you and wants you to be happy.
We are here in this world to learn and grow and gain the power God wants us to have. If you are here, you volunteered to come here.
We are at the end of a 200,000 year war against demons. In the end, God wins. See Malachi 4 for the Cliff Notes.
YOOO YOU WERE THERE AT FLOTEFEST!? WAIT.... SO... You and I officially meet via Substack about six months ago... but little did we know we were at the same festival and in the same picture two years ago!? DUDE that is beautiful and incredible and one of the many things i love about life. I am not surprised, but things like this make me very excited. And thank you for sharing what you did here.
Excellent reflections. Thanks for sharing your experience. For me, definitely creating something that outlives my vessel with wisdom that is binding and immutable. Think of all the people who have influenced us who died before we were born.
Excellent read Tesstamona! You ask what we do with our time here. I cannot state it any better than you already have. I'll be outside throwing gas on the fire!
