No one is a man of learning unless he is also a heretic and a madman, and above all, aggressively perverse.

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

I’m generally very “let a thousand flowers bloom” vis a vis kinks involving consenting adults, but this seems deeply gross and unhealthy.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

One can go further and say that it must be a “do-it-yourself psychology,’’ by which I mean that we must find and live by our will and not look to anyone else to do the work for us."

- #JGBennett, 'A Spiritual Psychology'

Dr. David Pecotić @djp1974.bsky.social · 8h

Those who deny the will in man deny the spirit. Those who affirm the will, affirm the spirit—whether they realise it or not. Since will is commitment to action, it follows that 'A Spiritual Psychology' must be a practical psychology.

#JGBENNETT ON THE SOUL

"The soul is an artifact, the result of our life experience. It may be transient and it may be immortal, depending upon whether or not our will, that is, our spirit, has taken possession of it.

A power higher than all human wisdom embraces the blessings of divination, the purifying powers of initiation, and all the operations of divine possession.

With the five no-things are the oars made;
#Kanha removes the body from the net of delusion.
Smell, touch, taste are just what they are -
like a dream without sleep.

ONE'S OWN BODY IS COMPASSION
By #Kanha

Having made the Triple Refuge a boat with eight compartments,
one's own body is Compassion, married to the Void.
The ocean of existence is crossed as if a dream;
in the middle of the confluence no wave is perceived.
