Trust me when I say this - I'm a literal brainlet.
Some of the people I have... access to are so far beyond me that I literally feel like a little kid when I'm in their presence.
i'm not. i'm a rural mechanic. things might be different had I been born into something other than a family of loggers 40 years ago, but things is as they is. experience and exposure dictates worldview. be wary of people that know things (or think they do). there is a whole range of human experience that you might not have been exposed to, and it makes all the difference in the world.
Oh I forgot to answer your previous question.
"Durham" is acting as a conduit. Like the ship, he will deliver the message (messenger in the previous case).
Anyway, I'm saying that these people have proven themselves to me (not that they needed to or anything). Their capabilities far outshine any people I've ever come across.
Frankly, I don't trust them with everything that's in me, but they've helped me get to new perspectives I would've scoffed at just a few years ago, ones that are much more fulfilling than any other frames of reference than I've every been exposed to.
To be blunt, their range of competencies are so broad that it acts as proof of their authenticity.
For the record, I got pretty close to showing you one day. Although, I just know you're too much like me. I have a feeling nothing will keep your mouth shut (which isn't an insult because I'm literally the same way) and the last thing I want is over saturation in this regard.
I'll mull it over the next few days.
I have a feeling what you are going to say wont shock me. its a quandary you're in, for sure. Truth is rarely kind, but it is the only way to get a clear view. I believe we all hold pieces to the puzzle, but we don't have context. and then arrogance gets in the way and we refuse to allow new information to modify our perspective. so we all live in the dark because of our stupid pride. remember one thing. not all blessings are given by God. I don't believe you will be giving me a bite of the apple, that ship sailed long ago. the world we live in is hardly a garden of Eden. but together we may find the way to get back to it, if the boss is okay with it.
you should watch that movie "the man from earth". its propaganda, but it illustrates exactly the kind of decision you are mulling over. do I tell the truth? or do I avoid the hassle that will inevitably result? you don't have all the answers. that is why you are here. you want to tell me what you've learned, because I've shown I might be able to interpret it from a different angle. that is a correct assumption. but I am a loudmouth because I've learned when you put out information, information comes back in. now stating that, there are people who are opposed to my perspective that will cease communication with me. an action in itself that conveys information. and then I just start with a new username with a new understanding of these people. so, if a+b=c, then a-b also equals c. do you follow? sometimes I fail to adequately express my thoughts.
