Search Results: causing a split

Everything held together decently well until around 2008. After that, it seemed like everything was a death spiral from there.

The whole "Politically Correct/PC Police" and "Social Justice Warrior" movements became obnoxious during the Obama era. Censorship and social engineering was running rampant. The race card became the norm when opposing leftist policies. Identifty politics was a weapon often used. This is around the time my family split due to political differences. Holiday and family vacations seized during this time. Socialism became the dreaded and heated topic in the US. My father lost his job and was unemployed for 6 months during this time, causing immense fear of losing everything. This is the time when my immediate family fell apart. This was a terrible time.

The Trump era became a glimpse of hope and some normalcy began to return, but the biased and aggressive media was mercilessly attacking Trump at every angle. Meanwhile the economy was looking more optimistic and the social atmosphere was beginning to improve, then the COVID era struck during Trump's last year in office, placing the nation in a near standstill.

Then, the terror resumed under the Biden Administration and we saw a return of the Obama era disasters that plagued this nation once again.

I don't believe Trump quite fixed the extensive damage under Obama, but there were improvements that brought about hope. I don't know if the US will return to pre-Obama normalcy, but this death spiral needs to stop and fast before we are in an all-out civil war.

I have heard girls say, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now." Here is how I interpreted that comment.

"I'm okay with just dating casually," means she wants to have sex.

"I don't want any commitment now," has two possible meanings.

EITHER

1. I JUST want sex! Don't try to become my boyfriend or I'll run away REAL lickety-split! (It's old Southern vernacular for real damned quick.)

OR

2. I've been hurt bad before and I'm not gonna admit that I still wanna find a boyfriend 'cause I'll probably just get hurt again, BUT it would be great if you became my boyfriend. So we can have sex now, and maybe that will get you hooked.

Have you ever told a guy something like, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now?" If so, just what did you mean? Honestly?

First, I’d to explain my personal beliefs about God. I believe that there was once spirit (which is basically God/heaven) but there was no one to experience this heaven, so he split into both spirit and the observer (which is us) as newer souls, we need to explore life on the physical and learn lessons before ascending, and eventually be In heaven.

We are particles of God trying to return to spirit to experience heaven.

Most people who harm others are simply lost souls trying to return back home. (More explained on this later)

I also want to explain that ego can be thought of as self consciousness. Ego is not bad though. It’s simply a state of awareness.

I believe that ego can drive people to want to be in a powerful business position, this means that black people have the least ego and therefore just want to experience God. This means that in terms in jobs, they often want what’s just enough to make them happy. A person without ego would only do harm to other people if his perception of God is skewed. They know they were created by God, but lack of knowledge (like knowing we are all particles of God) can lead to confusion. For example, thinking that you are God yourself (which is true, but not in that way), thinking that other people might not exist, or thinking that the best way to find heaven is on earth. This kind of confusion can (not necessarily will) lead to devil worship. If these people are grounded though and know who other people are, it often leads to very nice and or strong people who don’t do things for themselves.

Asian people, particularly from oriental regions, have balanced the ego and the spiritual. This means that there are still motivated by a higher power, but still have some sense of self importance. Some people have applied this balance to both business and spirituality. Of course, a perception of spirituality can be skewed (as mentioned above) which can cause harm.
