A great idea I found - consistency of bad reviews

(Warning: explicit language in the video link) I saw this video about video game reviews. Simplistically, it explains that people who like bad things and hate good things, are not useless as reviewers.

The usefulness of their reviewing is the consistency of their opinions. If they consistently like bad things, and consistently hate good things, then they become very useful to look at and do the opposite. See what they say and do, and look for the opposite. If they say it's really bad, then it's probably really good. And vice versa.

I had this experience myself. I went to a website, a subreddit for romhacks. I noticed that the commenters would not even play the games they reviewed, and hated on people's work that was put out for free. They would call things "edgy" that I thought looked cool. So I played a romhack game that they hated, and the game turned out to be one of the best romhacks I've ever played. I experienced this effect for myself, of using consistently contrarian views.

It made me think of these sorts of verses: John 15:18, John 17:14, Matthew 10:22, Luke 21:17, 1 John 4:5, and Luke 6:22.

I thought that the principle of usefulness of consistent contrarian opinions, might apply also to Christianity. If the world consistently hates, rejects, or tries to avoid something or someone, that thing or person is very likely worth searching for. The world actually may be unintentionally doing something useful. Instead of looking around randomly, it seems like focusing, at least sometimes, on what the world hates, rejects, and avoids, could make looking for good things and entities and people more efficient. Maybe this principle doesn't work 100% of the time, but it seems like it would work more often than not.

Chapter 7 - LWC Book 3 - The 6th Jhana

Post Under Construction 🚧 Click this for a post about The previous Jhana Click this for a Post about Reconciling Buddhism and Christianity The Sixth Jh āna ( viññāṇañcāyatana ): " And at this point it is said: “By completely surmounting the base consisting of boundless space, [aware of] ‘unbounded consciousness’, he enters upon and dwells in the base consisting of boundless consciousness.” In my theory, the Sixth Jhāna involves: Placeholder text Placeholder text If you remember from the last chapter , propriovisuality (PV): involved a 2D visual field that was modified by proprioception to make it 3D. Also in last chapter, the concepts of positive gestalts and negative gestalts were introduced. Let's attempt to combine these concepts. If you pretend to feel something in front of you, or in your hand, you are doing a technique known in Buddhism as "kasina". You can imagine feeling various things, but most things you feel will be groupe...

Sensing an Oneiric/Imagined Object

In the previous post , a conicity was introduced, with its parts described. In terms of gestalts , you could think of a conicity like this: A 4D positive gestalt of perception is overlayed onto a 4D object in the kono side, shown in the above example image on the left side of the conicity. This makes more definition. The 4D object becomes more definite, because perception or positive gestalt is on one possible 4D object (like a 3D object persisting in time) out of many possible 4D objects. If the 4D object grows or rolls in the conic path, it can gain more 4D cross-sections and become a 5D object perceivable as a 5th Jhanic Mass, as shown in the middle of the conicity in the image above. There are 5D objects, that is, multiple overlapping 4D cross-sections, which are not perceivable to vision, because there aren't enough 4D cross-sections yet - like a 5D object that is too small to see or sense because it doesn't yet have enough 5D mass. You may think imagining an obje...

Motivation and Incentive

I've been wondering lately why there is so little interest in LWC Theory. I am highly motivated about it, and it seems to be partly because I believe in what is possible to do with it. Maybe I haven't described enough about the possibilities with the Animalian Directions. I believe there are specific powers related to each. Current Lack of Interest in LWC Theory Considered Two reasons for lack of interest in LWC Theory: a lack of belief in the Messiah's teaching and a lack of ambition. If people believed in the Messiah's teaching, they would read the gospels more often and more carefully. They might take notes or meditate on it. They would eventually produce ideas like LWC Theory, if not exactly like it. They would develop it into something exactly like LWC Theory, and would probably look around physically and on the internet for anything like it or anyone interested. They would then come across this website, my monastery's location on Google Maps, would ask around ...
