Aristotle called it “vice.” The Apostle Paul called it “sin.” George Lucas called it “the dark side.” Star Wars was originally designed to be a modern myth to pass on timeless wisdom. There’s a lot of gold in what Lucas says here in this clip:

🗽🇪🇬 Did you know that the Statue of Liberty was originally designed for Egypt? Sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi first designed a colossal statue of a peasant woman holding a torch, titled 'Egypt Bringing Light to Asia,' for the entrance of the Suez Canal. However, after the project was cancelled due to costs, Bartholdi modified the design and presented it to the US.

The world that man-made laws articulate can never exist. The world that the laws of nature articulate does exist.

Live the words of Jesus. They save the individual from themselves. Satan is only the temptation to be selfish. Sin is selfishness. Righteousness is selflessness. When you apply them, you increase in understanding. Wisdom comes through the application of what you know. Be wise in God!

A clear, well-articulated argument against a new data center in Ohio... worth watching

I’m looking for stories from people who have been injured by pharmaceuticals to add to a website I put together on pharmaceutical induced injury. Please share. Hopefully this website can help push for much needed change. My story is on there already.

Jesus said: "Man lives not on bread alone, but by every word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God." ...But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. ..."I am the bread of life." "I would give thee living water." Have you eaten and drunk with the Christ?

Matthew McConaughey gave one of the most beautiful reconciliations of faith & science I’ve heard: “I am religious. The Latin root of religion is re-ligare — to bind together again. That’s unity. That’s what people mean when they say ‘I’m spiritual, not religious.’ We bastardized the word, but the meaning is still there.” He continues: “Science is the practical pursuit of God. The two are not exclusive. They dance together. Belief and science go hand in hand.” From a man who wrote a college paper called “John Wayne Goes West” exploring how to stay a believer in a world of science — and then chased that role in films that let him live it. In an age of “either/or,” McConaughey reminds us it’s both/and. Faith doesn’t fear facts. Science doesn’t cancel wonder. What if the deepest unity we’re all craving is exactly what religion originally meant — binding us back together with truth, awe, and each other? Who else sees faith and science as dance partners, not enemies?

Tom Green Explains The Dunning-Kruger Effect

Albert Einstein's letter to Marie Curie, 1911: Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevinil too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom it has been fabricated. With most amicable regards to you, Langevin, and Perrin, yours very truly, A. Einstein P.S. I have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in Planck's radiation field by means of a comical witticism, naturally under the constraint that the structure's motion follows the laws of standard mechanics. My hope that this law is valid in reality is very small, though.

I went to Taco Bell. Ordered their best selling products and assessed the ingredients. It's not a good situation. Worst part: our kids eat this😭. If we fail to become a Type III civilization on the Kardashev scale, I blame Taco Bell and similar.

How can you love one and hate the other when the same Divine exists in All. #SadhguruQuotes
