Good faith versus critical thinking

Esoterica_by_Attila_Karpathy

In the digital age, information is more plentiful than ever, but parsing truth from fiction can be daunting.
According to Wikipedia, rationality is the quality of being guided by or based on reason. In this regard, a person acts rationally if they have a good reason for what they do, or a belief is rational if it is based on solid evidence.
However, apparently, we are programmed to be irrational.
I always considered Read more Good faith versus critical thinking

About G_d

About G_d

“G_d and I had a fair and cordial relationship. I never asked for anything, and G_d never gave me something. I didn’t bother G_d, and most likely, G_d was unaware of my existence. In that matter, I believe I was G_d’s favourite creature. It was almost like a good neighbour relationship in which we smiled and said hello whenever we met, but we never knew each other’s names.
G_d was everywhere and nowhere. The mathematical difference between everything and nothing is zero.”

Excerpt from the novel Waiting on the Bench by Attila Karpathy.

Card of the day: Two of Wands

“To be, or not to be, that is the question.”
William Shakespeare

I think it is one of my favourite quotes. It has multiple meanings.
On the one hand, it signifies choices. It is one thing or another, or one way or the other. It represents a turning point, a crossroad, a mandatory decision.
It is recommended that quick decisions be made and actions should be taken immediately. It is a matter of instinct.
However, at a deeper level of spiritual awareness, it is Read more 3-card readings 09-25-2024

Esoteric, occult and divinatory Tarot

I may sound redundant, but most people still don’t understand it, and I must explain it again.
Esoteric means:
a: designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone,
b: requiring or exhibiting knowledge restricted to a small group – or difficult to understand.
The word occult has a similar meaning. Read more Esoteric, occult and divinatory Tarot
