AMEN is AMN (East and West)

Argument from authority?

Regardless, quote me where he says the chinese people are magic.

Btw, I'm usually not at all sensitive to these things but I must say to think that the chinese are magic and our language somehow mystical is such a ignorant racist stereotype from hollywood.

I go deeper in the water than what you might suspect.

No dear, your ocean is a puddle.

Scripture is scribed into four levels.

1) Pshat, or direct and simple. This is the level the Atheist stops with. Seeds cannot open if ears are closed. Ears are grain. When water hits a seed of grain, it breaks open and a plant expresses in the soil. The soil must be prepared. I am trying to do this now actually. I am acting as the gardener tilling the soil.

2) Remez, or hinting. This is like Father being Aleph Bet (Letters) writing the Son (Word). It's hinting. Again, the earlier level is necessary for the plant to grow here on this level.

3) Darash is commentary and comparison. Here, we need Seven rules to deScribe what is written by context. Context is the key to seeing the overall picture. As I lead you down this rabbit's hole, you can begin to see my process.

4) Sod, or deep hidden. Here, we need the other three as a foundation to begin seeing the true story. What I outline is simply the cleanest truth I can give you. I must then work my way back to the Pshat level for you to use the water. Once I have watered the entire ground, your seeds will grow.

The analogy is more appropriate than you realise. The seed needs nutrients, it needs fertilizers. Religion is the seed and it needs plenty of bullshit in order to thrive.

Ad Hominem is a fallacy. Attacking the object instead of speaking to the subject is not a platform.

My words are a trickle. Water is life, the beginning and sustenance of all.

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.”

The trickle becomes a stream, follow the stream and you shall find an ocean

“It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.”

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
