I think part of the problem is that people are not spiritual or haven't been activated in their spirit

I think part of the problem is that people are not spiritual or haven't been activated in their spirit Perhaps this is so. I am wary of a purely materialistic form of perception and existence, and fear the fruits of a nihilistic ethos which must needs follow. I'm not confident that people could pick apart Nietzsche (for instance) to realize their Overman (Christ) without adopting his pragmatic yet cruel uncaring towards the suffering of others. Given a choice, I would rather people be like Spinoza, who saw matter, extension, and all else in nature as God, yet still adhered strictly to natural and mathematical truths. All things must be investigated and learned about, including our impulses. (In this, Spinoza can be said to be a precursor of the "mindfulness" movement, which is so fruitful in dealing with mental health issues today.) Plus, Spinoza by Russell's account lived his philosophy, and was rarely angry and/or rash, despite multiple stints in the military. However I think we greatly overvalue the word of people who act "on spiritual nudges". Most I reckon are simply acting in their feelings without bothering to consult their senses.

Amy one who understands spiritual things must first understand that 5 spiritual senses exist and this while it may not be expressed correctly for everyone else to understand is the basis of spiritual truth imho

Trump's plan now is to leave the WH in the morning on Wednesday and to go some military facility in the area where an appropriate celebratory ceremony is being prepared to give him a hero's sendoff as he leaves for retirement in Florida.
And the guy in charge of the GOP purse passed away here in Las Vegas on Wednesday and was buried yesterday in Jerusalem. Cute little old guy, with his curly tassels of hair hanging around his face.

Trump has ordered that the name "Richard Nixon" is not to be uttered in the White House.

Now, if Trump calls on a Pardon Palooza, he's not going to convince Senators to find him not guilty at his impeachment trial.
But he's probably spending a lot of time planning for the red carpet celebration at Joint Base Andrews. Do you suppose he will want a flyover?

Nothing criminal about that is there, if you are a GOP president. The attack on the Capitol building is more akin to what Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators did at Westminster. That also was about religion, although I believe they were a million times more genuine in their beliefs than Trump has ever been. Trump has blatantly used the religious in the USA to further his own agenda. They of course were fools (no surprises there) to believe his vain promises. Fawkes and co got their just reward. It would be interesting to see a bit of "Hung Drawn and Quartering in front of the Capitol Building. First of all the crimiunal is drawn behind a horse, that would be a bit battering, then hung by the neck, then the body is chopped into pieces and placed at various points around the country. That's the warning to all who would be so foolish to attempt insurrection.

Aha -- there is a ton of money being made when presidential pardons are being made available.

But as we know anything can change between now and Wednesday. Trump seems to be arranging a smaller one for himself. One planned similar to that for dignitoraries. Sounds like he will be in the plane though.

A few weeks ago we had several BK117's, two EuroC145's and some AS350b's and e's hanging around all for about a week, they went away but then came back on a Sunday morning very early. Actually the first time was a Sunday as well, They left spidertracks all over the lakes and the nearby mountain land.
