Awesome, so, we can all disregard anything you say about spirituality because none of it can be true or accurate?
Quote:So my approach on that is this: When someone is having a bad dream, your first instinct is to wake up that person right? Even if the dream is completely unreal, it is real for that person in that moment. So (normal people) will wake up another person when he or she is having a bad dream.Stone age people of the amazon had no special connection to the universe that we lack. Human beings have never been in harmony with nature or each other.
+ If we are to evolve into a more civilized civilization that reaches toward the stars, that civilization will have to be better than ours. Stone-age people of the amazon have this “connection to the universe” we have lost our “connection to the universe”. And it is not realistic to hope that we will be able to move forward if (for instance) we cannot (once again) be in harmony with both nature and other fellow humans. Atheist people say the very same thing. But I am repeating that idea as a believer in spirituality
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
