Probably good to avoid envy like the plague. Condescending behavior is often a sign of envy. If a man is disrespectful, it may be because they are worried they are not good enough for you. But they stick around because I like you. If you notice you get “reverse feedback“ in terms of appreciation, that’s probably it. It’s not just between men and women, I see it all the time.

Wouldn’t it be simpler just to treat people the way they want to be treated?

Equinox!!!

It was more that I didn’t write very well than I didn’t read the thread. I meant TO ME it lookslike there is life brewing in Venus, based on the astronomic photographs of the clouds.

All cells on earth have potassium in the cytoplasmic fluid. Fish have sodium – potassium pumps in their cell membranes to exchange potassium for sodium and keep the balance and the salt out of the cell. Potassium brines occur in hydrothermal veins, not in the sea. Therefore, this may have been where life started.

Any geothermal water springs through carbonate rocks would have carbonate as a buffer to maintain a neutral pH from sulfuric acid seeping in from the atmosphere. Just like oxygen, which is a corrosive gas that primitive anaerobic lifeforms cannot survive in, sulfuric acid provides a proton gradient as a source of chemical energy for metabolic processes. Also, there is a cold layer at roughly negative 100°C at 75 miles above ground surface. That means there are are more hospitable temperatures in between.

It is fascinating to me in any case. I expect the world is too distracted from other hot topics to pay too much attention to the discovery as they would otherwise. But it’s not going away. I’ve heard scientist said it could be life or it could be a spectroscope instrument error. Perhaps it could be extracellular metabolic processes. But the scientists know more than me in that department, so I will take their word that it is probably life.

The swirling clouds of Venus just “look“ like they are teaming with life.

Just like how polished stone slabs with hydrothermal cracks just look like they bear ancient wisdom and hold compelling memories they wish they could express.

Yeah!!

Yes. God made the forest which is for worship. But then man goes and cuts it down to build their own cathedral which they think is better.

Death is as dark as it instinctively looks. Definitely avoid.

All possess a fragment of heaven. Jesus communicated a larger, shared fragment of heaven; heaven can not be without that piece, but it is not the only piece.

There will be heaven after death. Heaven is in existence right now. We will not be able to experience heaven after death, but we can experience it right now, and heaven is eternal.

Redemption from relational sin makes a lot more sense. I know it was standard worship at the time to atone for sin by making a sacrifice as a symbol to express seriousness and affirm repentance for deviation from Gods will. The manifestation of the Lord voluntarily paying for our sin, since we can not really make things right on our own by making a sacrifice, is intuitive redemption.

Thanks

Raccoons scream when they are fighting over territory.

I deliberately set aside 20 minutes a day to be bored. There is so scarce little of it in today’s culture.

I know the Violet, blue, and green spectra in most electronic light disrupt the melatonin cycle. Boredom instead of tiredness might be a sign of that worse problem. There is a simple solution, though. Just use red-filter glass. Or one of the stronger of these types of glasses:

My question is how did Jesus redeem is by dying on the cross?

Is it so His dead body can empathize with how we feel? I am confused.

The resurection I understand. To me it is intuitive. We visualize positive abstractions of the way God’s world works, in our fallen condition. The life we lived in our window of action, and our pattern of self aware consciousness, are abstractions of an eternal filing cabinet.

Lord knows what is good and what is bad.

All I know is that believing in God is like standing on a train at 77 miles per hour and being opposed to God is like getting run over.

There is a caffeine bearing plant native to the maritime forests where I live called Yaupon Holly. A similar variety of holly tree grows in South America called Yerba Maté. It tastes like fresh green cut grass.

However nowadays I do not drink caffeine because of anxiety. The psychiatrist told me I had to either give up caffeine or exercise, and exercise is life, so I gave up coffee. Instead, I drink a magnesium drink called “Natural Calm“ which is basically 25% of the daily intake for Magnesium and consists of pure magnesium citrate diluted with water. I am having some right now.

The essence of the article is weight gain can be lean weight, and in the case of the article, muscle.

I came across an interesting article

Meditation for strong nerves, workout For strong muscle. Being generally healthy to grow back strong.

All the time.
