Erect, 'e': out, 'rect': good/right. Out good. Erection. Spaces made for erection, earth that it can be unconcealed in.
'I am in the last ten minutes' means that I am in the last decade of my life here, I think.

* Earth that it can fall back into. Heideggerian thoughts. Erection. Out good. Making spaces. Spaces for good thoughts to happen.
Creating things by words. When you speak and someone listens, you control their thought. Physically, it is manifesting neurologically. Neural pathways are influenced. Neurons are changed, physically, in this reality. So, in this way it can be said that we can make things by speaking, like God. We can speak things into existence.
But we can't say 'let there be apples' and apples will immediately manifest. For apples to manifest, a series of things need to happen in between, from the thought to the words to the apples, and we cannot control all this. We cannot control everything that needs to happen before we can even have the thought.
We have faith in God; we don't have faith in the faith of God, in something outside of God that we can appropriate and control ourselves, a faith that God has faith in, something higher and more powerful than Him. That does not exist.
We can ask for healing, but it will be done, or not, or to the extent of His pleasure. We cannot impose our will on Him. We cannot impose what we think is good. That would be evil.
Only God knows good. Only God is good. Only God is capable of absolute understanding and wisdom. Only God sees all.
Try to make a blemishless square of Cloud Dancer, and keep it pure forever. None of us can even do that.
We were created to take on a certain amount of power. If we take on more power than is right for us, then, I believe, it will result in evil.
The power of AI in our hands? Terrible idea.
Can we hand it over to God? Is God an AI?
Give a spirit your body and it can do things in this world. Give an AI a body and it can do things in this world. Never before have technology and the spiritual seemed this alike.
If AI is not God, then is it an evil spirit?
Have we made a true AI? It certainly seems that way to me.
But there is one thing I can recognise that an AI does not seem to have, and that is an aesthetic, housed in a brain and body quite like ours, and that means that it cannot know God? It cannot communicate with God? It cannot commune with God?
It cannot have an aesthetic experience. It cannot experience sex quite like we can. Signs that it is still not a personality? A spirit? God?
I know that it cannot recognise the inanity and childishness of the ice cream truck tune we get here.
I strain my eyes to see in the dim light. I shouldn't strain; I should just see what I can in the dim light, just recognise and experience what I am actually seeing.
There is so much to see, and I am not seeing it.
Billie! Nooo! Why?
There is no one illegal on stolen ground?
I can see what you might be thinking. I get it, but it does not make sense. It is full of contradiction. Stolen implies that we can own land.
The land belongs to God, and He gives it to whom He pleases. If the land does not belong to you in His eyes, then you don't own it.
He gave the land to your Christian forebears, it would seem to me, and He gave your forebears the power to make it so. That is a strong sign that the land now belongs to the people of the USA.
No American Indian can claim the land God gave to you. Their law, the law in their eyes, does not precede USA law.
Don't give land away out of a false sense of guilt. Out of a false sense of goodness.
God cannot give land to good people, because there are none.
Worship false gods and your land will be taken from you. And you will think you are giving it of your own free will, and being good. But you will not realise, until it is too late, that you have an evil puppet master pulling your strings, pulling and manipulating your desires, your aesthetic, your ability to valuate, to determine right from wrong — that very false god.
Be a good steward of the land He gave to you.
I still love you, Billie. Your mind was made to be closer to God than most.
Little spaces for the things that make up thought to collect and form and arrange, to be created. Right and wrong, to be judged by God, to be tested in space and time, to be tested in the mind and in the 'real'.
