“I usually struggle to answer many questions people ask because my mind is always in the future, while the questions they ask are always in the past, or at best, in the present. That is a very factual way of observing the spiritual level of someone. The "what job you have?" and "how much money do you make?" that people stuck in a present time loop obsessively ask is based on what they see, while the "where are you from?" and "what did you study?" comes from people stuck in the past, and with the idea that the past conditions the present, not your decisions. The first thinks matter controls life and the second that life is the result of randomity and chaos. Both represent the vast majority of the population and both are absolutely stupid. As they are too stupid to perceive the future, they call it dreaming, insanity or, at best, motivation and inspiration. They don't know what consciousness is, even when using this word. Thus, every change is for them like a spontaneous miracle, or a mistake in the system that shouldn't have occurred. They look at those who break their mental laws as criminals because when someone is too stupid, he perceives knowledge as a threat to his values. Jealousy and competition come precisely from this state of mind. These subhumans think like a character of a video game that is trapped in a world that never changes and in which they have no capacity to make effective decisions. When they are faced with a library or a religion that promotes wisdom, they close their eyes to escape or read about fantasies, because they are not mentally capable of processing reality.”
― Dan Desmarques

― Michael J Heil, Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

“Formula Factor Theory for Fulfillment is a tool of awareness. Once you begin to understand the process, it will come as naturally as putting one foot in front of the other. You will recognize signs of discomfort if your formula is off balance. You will feel less energized, more fatigued, less social, more introverted, less liberated, more stressed, and so forth. When we are doing more of what we love and less of what exhausts us, we feel more fulfilled, capable, alive, and invigorated. ”
