Sorry about the delay anon, i had someone irl ask for a quick read over a chat app. I'm back.

Past: Reversed 3 of cups
Present: 9 of cups
Future: Reversed Knight of Cups

Sounds like you had a rough relationship in the past. However, at your present you are in a much more stable situation. Good for you!!!

However- don't be impulsive to rush in. The reversed knight of wands warns us about having too much energy building up and having nowhere to go. Be careful and measured with your approach to romance and don't be overeager to charge in.

I needed to hear that, yeah. I was wondering if I should invest some of what I do have saved up (like $80k) to grow it but I was worried I could mess it up. I'm a neet also. I guess I'll just continue to neet a bit longer and see what happens. Thanks :)

On the other side, people are attracted towards what they resonate with. So denser (heavier) areas end up with suffering people, who exploit one another.

Is it possible for covid to have a short communicability half life so that it could infect people within a limited amount of time much shorter than what they said?

On the one hand some people apparently got limbs amputated but on the other hand (no pun intended) if it was as dangerous and communicable as they said it way, the George Floyd protestors and unsanitary homeless encampers should have been dropping dead but that didn't happen.

Has there been studies regarding overlap in PCR results with the regular flu and covid?

Nothing will EVER HAPPEN until you go within and awaken to your higher conscious states.

Its fucking simple and /x/ is just merchant misdirection.

Commit to 6 months of meditating 1-2 hrs per day, wake your astral body, and be done with it.

Practice Surat Shabd Meditation
(Listening to the Audible Life Stream within yourself)

First Step
>Practice mental mantra repetition at the 3rd eye center between and behind the physical eyes
>Most important is to listen intently to the words as your mind says the mantra

After a few months of this you will be able to fully withdraw from the physical body, your third eye will open and you will wake into your astral body

From the Wikipedia on Carlos Castaneda

>Around the time Castañeda died, his companions Donner, Abelar and Patricia Partin informed friends they were leaving on a long journey. Amalia Marquez (also known as Talia Bey) and Tensegrity instructor Kylie Lundahl also left Los Angeles. Weeks later, Partin's red Ford Escort was found abandoned in Death Valley. Luis Marquez, Bey's brother, went to police in 1999 over his sister's disappearance, but could not convince them that it merited investigation.[6]

>In 2003, Partin's sun-bleached skeleton was discovered by a pair of hikers in Death Valley's Panamint Dunes area and identified in 2006 by DNA testing. The investigating authorities ruled the cause of death as undetermined.[6][17] However, Castañeda often talked about suicide, and associates believe the women killed themselves in the wake of Castañeda's death.[6]

>Castaneda's Journey also includes 47 pages of quotes Castaneda attributed to don Juan which were actually from a variety of other sources, including anthropological journal articles and even well known writers like Ludwig Wittgenstein and C. S. Lewis.[6]

It’s the same with the so-called “official” claims of MPD/DID sufferers (multiple personality disorder/now renamed dissociative identity disorder) who were also sometimes claimants of SRA (Satanic ritual abuse) or undergoing child/sex trafficking “just being confabulated based on therapists leading them to make these up.”

This could be covering up a deep dark rabbit hole of the ties between (deliberately induced) MPD/DID and trauma based mind control, with roots in Project MK-Ultra and specifically, according to some claimed whistleblowers, victims, and investigators, the subproject of it called Project Monarch.

You want another deep dark disturbing case of this with ties to Belgian politicians, courts, police, royalty, and some powerful/wealthy European elites in general, you look at the Dutroux case. (Warning: traumatizing to read). Practically memory-holed now, but once so big a case in Belgium it had hundreds of thousands of Belgian citizens marching in the streets over the miscarriage of justice. https://isgp-studies.com/belgian-x-dossiers-of-the-dutroux-affair

Cathy O’Brien’s “TRANCE-Formation of America” is also a disturbing read of a reputed Monarch survivor saved and deprogrammed by her later husband, Mark Phillips. Interestingly (yet horrifically), this was published in the 1990s, and includes the Clintons as figures she interacted with involved in this horror, some decades before the Clinton-Epstein ties came out.

In Cathy’s book is also Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, whom she claims was a high-level programmer of Monarch slaves, and he shows up — yes! — in Senator John W. DeCamp’s book “The Franklin Cover-Up”. Again, by a former Senator and attorney, DeCamp, so clearly not just some retard or random guy. DeCamp worked seriously with the victims and people tied to the prosecutors of the case to uncover what he could about it. Another part that shows up in both books (Cathy’s and DeCamp’s, which make no reference to each other) is the claim of Bohemian Grove as a site for some of these rituals, abuse, and human/child sex-trafficking. Cathy O’Brien also claims in the book that cameras were set up in Bohemian Grove to get footage of politicians in compromising positions, fucking and/or abusing minors, hence putting them on the controllers’ strings. Strangely prescient of the Epstein/Maxwell case more openly revealed some decades later (with them having almost certain CIA and Mossad ties).

However, most people are sadly so well-programmed they don’t have the inclination to even look at any of this seriously. They just view it as “already debunked”, according of course to the protestations of official mainstream media and governmental sources which obviously, if such a horrific plot were real, would be IN on it, or at least compromised by it at the highest levels, such that they would CLEARLY deny any wrongdoing occurred, if such a plot of elite-backed occult abuse were real. (“We, the elites, investigated ourselves, and found ourselves innocent, nothing to see here.”)

This goes WAAAYY back before modern stuff about “Pizzagate” and “QAnon” (both of which may or may not have disinformation deliberately sprinkled in precisely to “debunk” this and probably even to get in before and discredit the outrage that should’ve been greater about the Epstein/Maxwell case and their ties to fucked up so-called “elites”).

Other interesting and plausibly related sources of info: Ted Gunderson, former FBI chief in the L.A. department, talking of government/military/intelligence ties to organized Satanism and child trafficking, besides other conspiracies.

Ronald Bernard, claimed former Dutch investment banker who got into them out of this. This one I’m unsure of but still an interesting case, especially because of how genuinely emotional, cracked up, and shaken up he seems, as well as consistent over hours of interviews, meaning he must be some great actor if he’s acting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLNvpogVzzk

Assume it’s not real:
1.) You believe it and spread info about it, but it wasn’t real — you come off as dumb and misguided, spreading disinfo, but your intentions were good, and due to the tight control over the MSM, Big Tech and academia by political correctness anyway, you don’t really have much reach anyway, as it’s going to be extensively debunked and attacked.

2.) You don’t believe it, and it was indeed NOT real — no real harm or benefit, besides just being in alignment with the truth.

Assume it DOES exist.
3.) You believe it and spread info about it, and it is real — good job anon, you’re a moral person who stood up (in however small a way) for what’s right, shedding light on some horrific abuses of power and crimes against humanity.

4.) You DON’T believe it but it IS real — you are a fucking smug arrogant Redditor making fun of or even viciously attacking the victims, whistleblowers, and believers of such horrific crimes beyond belief, even while probably patting yourself on the back a few years ago about how you “believe all women” and “supported #MeToo” etc. and are a “good progressively-oriented person beating down the chuds and dangerous conspiracy theorists.” You end up being a massive fucking asshole on a cosmic scale, complicit, in however small a way, in the coverup of such crimes.

Ironically, this very same moral calculus has been used in the “believe all women”/“MeToo” movement I mentioned! (About how it’s morally better to take women claiming sexual assault/rape seriously than it is not to). Yet when it comes to stuff like this, R*dditors will smugly gloss over it and even make fun of it. At least in a moral and existential sense, it’s a greater show of conscience to seriously consider this wide-ranging bunch of evidence, than to dismiss it, even if it turns out wrong. That’s just my dumb opinion, anyway.

Genesis 3:11
King James Bible
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

>being naked can kill you of freezing temperatures

>NOOOO U HATE BEING NAKED BECAUSE OF KNOWLEDGE OF IT

This is ur brain on a really fucking stupid religion. If ur religion can't even interact with reality, abandon it. If God cared he would have gave you clothes and shelter to protect you from the elements, which knowledge provides. These things existed as evident inside of dumb animals that walk around the place and walk off ledges, without knowledge you would be the same as these animals.

If God is logos, he killed himself cause logically, knowledge is a survival advantage most animals lack. Anyone that goes outside naked when it's raining, freezing cold, can easily logically think, "Oh this is why I wear clothes..."

That's actually crazy. Also >>37837326 taking the Garden of Eden literally is so small brain. Many early Christians did not interpret the OT literally, Origen for example, but they were murdered, burned, and called witches just like all the other Christians who thought for themselves instead of listing to muh dogma and muh holy tradition. Looking at the story from a psychological perspective reveals a lot about the nature of man, and I don't think the original author meant it to be taken literally. Whoever wrote the bible was much more intelligent than all the Jews and mainstream Christians that highjacked it.

Welcome to the Semen Retention General,
Enlightened and noble chads edition!

>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.

>Why do it?
Reported benefits include: increased vitality, mental clarity, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy, improved focus, healthier hair/skin/eyes, deeper meditation, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, deeper voice, improved mood, greatly improved testosterone, improved physical strength and many more.

On long clean streaks many report benefits that transcend current science like a sort of "magnetism" or higher "vibration/aura" that attracts/appeals to other living beings, a higher perception, a stronger and intimidating "aura/presence", a deeper connection with nature, an attractive BO (people usually report it as "pheromones") and more.

>IMPORTANT
Completely abstain from masturbation and ejaculation to get all the benefits.
If you don't ejaculate, but still spend time touching yourself, and even worse, touching yourself while watching degeneracy, then you are doing it wrong.

science explains much, but not everything. today's science is 500 years ago's science fiction. I do think that there is an explanation to everything, but I also believe that there are questions we didn't even imagine to come up with yet and a lot of shit we just don't know yet which is why we think of it as "unnatural" or just don't consider it. people who actually put too much faith in science and materialism think that we already have all the answers to every question.
why do you think that the universe is barren? the only explanation i can think of is God and that He created mankind as an exception.
man, this leads to questions about our consciousness as well. this actually exceeds my imagination and leads to some "this cannot be" which is the same conclusion those people who think we got all the answers would reach, just in another context.
I'm actually at a dead end and there is much shit I don't get, I'm just desperate for answers.

The pleiadians referred to it as source last time I was telapthic with them. They said that Pleiadeans had come to earth, but due to suffering the primitive primeval conditions of the undeveloped planet they had slowly cut themselves off from source. The arcturians seem pretty big into cosmic spirituality, they seem a bit like bodhisattva's, but I couldn't say exactly what they believe other than they know the identities of all these mythical and spiritual beings humans know, and they know which ones of us are those beings reincarnated into this world. They told me which name I had and which angel I was, but its not entirely sure what angels are or where we came from, though it seems like we are descended from some type of transcendent cosmic entity who wanted to craft human life that could live in physical environments.

I can usually tell gay people apart by their eyes. When I look into them, it feels like I'm staring into the eyes of a satanist. Like I am looking into the soul of someone very evil.
I can hear the gnashing of teeth, weeping, tortured cries of sinners in their forever punishment.
I am trying to stop being gay by transitioning into a female, I feel like that is the path that the LORD would support.

This is all very interesting..I'm not surprised. I know everything exists in this bizarre mathematical balance - but math to what end? Is the human spirit not more important than math? Is not feeling, heart, love?

What strangeness, I think to myself, that some numbers end up being what it's all about when math for me is a practical tool to navigate life - not the ESSENCE of life itself. I don't even know why one would want to know all this, unless it affords an ability, or enlightenment to the subject.
