3D: Daily Dose of Discernment

Friday, July 31, 2026

The first rule of life to realize is that everything is guided and espcially that which appears or claims not to be guided.
The second rule of life is not to allow yourself ever to be guided by flesh, matter, mental objects, or thinking alone.
The third rule of life is to be guided primarily and sometimes only by energy or spirit.
The fourth rule of life is that you will inherit for eternity what the majority of your internal and external speech was: you get what you served most.
The fifth rule of life is that the story of life is about God, not you. You will never be a main character in life except as you represent and stand for God.

I must be good, but I have neither the desire nor means of my own to be good.
I must follow God’s will, but I have neither the desire nor means of my own to follow God’s will.
I must stay on the narrow path, but I have neither the desire nor means of my own to stay on the narrow path.
I must practice all of God’s teaching, but I have neither the desire nor means of my own to practice any of God’s teachings.
Miserable creature that I am because I know better than myself and following my own nature, and still I follow foolish destruction with all my effort if not drawn of God against my nature and will.

The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to be on it, you fall off because your claim is off the path.
The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to know it, you fall off because you cannot know the path of your own will.
The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to be seeking the path, you fall off because you cannot seek the path of your own will.
The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to be doing good, you fall off because you cannot do good on your own.
The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to be following the good, you fall off because you cannot follow the good of your own will.
The right path is so narrow that as soon as you claim to be following the path, you fall off because you must be drawn to follow the path by God, given that human nature chooses a different path.

We claim to know by identifying with (eating) knowledge as ideas, images, or things. This process makes them and us into mental objects.
When we don’t want a particular mental object because it is disturbing, painful, or ugly, we often try to make it not exist by demanding it go away (no-ting), only to feed it.
When we don’t want a particular mental object because it is disturbing, painful, or ugly, we often try to control it. However, it is uncontrollable because it is us, so we feed it.
When we don’t want a particular mental object because it is disturbing, painful, or ugly, we often try to change it. However, it is unchangeable because it is us, so we feed it.
When we don’t want a particular mental object because it is disturbing, painful, or ugly, we often complain that we are fixated, frozen, stuck, or trapped by it. However, it is our identifying with it that is the trap, not the idea or image itself.

The original sin is claiming to know by becoming knowing (eating knowledge, identifying as it).
The drive for being knowing is to gain the ability and excuse (self as good) to destroy, and especially to destroy others as the bad.
The rewards for knowing and destroying are pride in being positive knowing; however, you are always both sides of any duality even when you consciously identify only with one half.
A main problem in being knowledge is that you cannot examine, sense, or verify reality or results when you are being knowledge (semantic blindness and blockage).
The problem in being knowledge is that you are always both sides, and you will not be able to cover, hide in darkness, and suppress yourself as the negative forever.

(1) Blocked modeling of same sex parent. You naturally follow your same sex parent to learn how to live in the world. The usual exceptions are if you only have an opposite sex parent and no acceptable same sex role model, or you feel compelled to reject following your same sex parent (various reasons).
(2) Sensations of same sex. Experience attractive same sex people.
(3) Reframe reality. Falsely interpret same sex sensations as causing desire (sexual procreation drive).
(4) Reverse nature. Focus procreation drive on same sex targets.
(5) Reinforce procreation drive with life force. Make your interest into a passion by putting your life energies behind it.
(6) Claim it is natural. Find excuses and rationalizations for the perversion of your procreation drive.
(7) Claim sex is love. Sex is desire. Sex can be coupled with love, but the drive for sex is desire, not love.
Generally, homosexuality occurs when the procreation drive is thwarted from focusing on the opposite sex, so it reverts to focusing on the same sex. However, some practice homosexuality or bisexuality for social approval.
