Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Point proven. I understand this post perfectly well.
Affirming your relationship with the real at the level of identity requires making a stand (in faith), and you will invite challenges and tests. Because of this, it is the option of last resort.
Still, it is the only way to truly progress.
The man who stands in faith understands the real. At the same, he distinguishes between the real and the reel. The former is both the answer to and the question of the challenge, whereas the latter is useful only to the fishermen. But subtle is the distinction between the fishermen and the fisher of men. And subtle as well is the the distiction between real reel and what the man of progress believes to be the real.
Since you’ve alluded to a spiritual life..
Would you agree that the purpose of spiritual development is the unification of a human being (person) with the spirit of truth?
It depends on how we define "human being." I'd argue we're basically p-zombies sans awareness. So everything associated with the physical body including thoughts, perceptions, memories, etc. doesn't fall under the human aspect.

Isn't the Son of Man omniscient? So if you are Him, you shouldn't need to ask any questions. I'm beginning to suspect that you're not the messiah at all, just a very naughty boy.
I've noticed that, when craig talks about topics other than spirituality, his posts are generally straightforward and understandable. For example, when craig complains about how other posters react to him, he isn't ambiguous or unclear. That leads me to believe that craig generally knows what words mean and knows what order to put them in if he wants to be understood.But when
Your assessment could be correct ofc.
I myself don't think he is trying to evade scrutiny. I think his words are vague because his ideas are vague.
Clarity of thought must precede clarity of communication.

You seem to be equating “human being” with the witness.
I would say disassociating the physical body from ‘human being’ and ‘personhood’ is problematic, but I think I remember once being there. Inclusion and integration would be a necessary next step.
Anyway, I’m highly confident in my earlier emphasis on affirming identity in reality and making a defiant stand. You have to choose yourself for ultimate reality. And you have to demand to be chosen.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I say this, but one more time, ultimate reality is hidden (to varying degrees depending on the person).
This new test truly makes evasion impossible. Has anyone called Deckard and asked him why he didn't just ask his suspects to tick a box?

I believe that is most certainly true.
But I also believe that you are a blasphemer whose view of 'ultimate reality' is the result of either brain damage or Satan.
(Assuming you're not just a troll, which I personally believe you are not.)

The Son of Man is and he becomes.
We are all still becoming as long as we are living in time.
Also, my time has not yet come. I still have one final test to pass.

Tell us more about the Satan theory. Is it possible that craig is an agent of Satan? How does this all work in practice? I am particularly interested in the recruitment process. Enquiring minds need to know.

You are defending your current / old reality fiercely.
However, Jesus taught that the old must die before the new can actualize. No one who defends the old can know about the new.
Still, it’s my duty to move the story forward, which I intend to do even against pushback from my Christian brothers and sisters.

What's your final test? Is it that one that Trump keeps boasting about? Just remember "person, man, woman, camera, TV" and you should be good.
I think we might be talking to a cult leaders.
Or wanna be. Sucks he's going to bail on us to hang with the ascended masters. But pretty sure he's just parroting some Western Esoteric doctrine. Something like....
[QUOTE=AI]Rudolf Steiner didn't found a new "religion" but a spiritual philosophy called Anthroposophy, meaning "wisdom of the human being," which seeks spiritual understanding through clear thinking, rooted in esoteric Christianity and German idealism. It's a path for individual spiritual development, not a dogma, though it offers practical applications like Waldorf Education, biodynamic farming, and anthroposophical medicine. Steiner aimed to foster religious experience and Christian understanding, but emphasized personal, free spiritual discovery over dogma, leading to a "spiritual science" to know the spiritual world.
