Lumping Hot Coals on the Head of Your Enemy

-
      Helping your enemy when he is in a state of hatred toward you has profound psychological effects on your enemy's mind. Niceties, kindness, and compassion infuriate and cause great agony to someone possessed by hate and in a state of bitterness and resentment. 

      It confuses them and puts them in that searing, burning psychological state of "why is this person that I hate being nice and compassionate to me? Why is he patching up my wounds? Why is he giving me water? Can't he tell that I hate him and want to kill him?" 

This confusion and uncertainty that compassion and kindness induces on the hateful is a major step in liberating someone from hate. Liberation from hate doesn't happen instantly. It is a process, and a necessary one at that. Unintelligent, unsophisticated, primitive people have an exceedingly difficult time letting go of hate, whether that hate be directed at Jews, homosexuals, Muslims, blacks, or other groups.   

      Overcoming hate requires education, requires new, powerful, and well-articulated ideas and explanations, but most of all overcoming hate requires kindness, compassion, and love. This is especially true when you deal with those who hate you. Showing love to those who hate cut at the hatred in their minds ever so slightly, and sometimes even massively. Love drives out hate because it weakens the mental firewall of the hater and can initiate the healing of a mind broken by fear, rage, and hate.  Pooring hot coals on someone's head may be just what is needed to purge the hate and fear from someones mind.

Kill them with kindness, as they saying goes, only kindness won't kill them. It will liberate them.

Romans 12:20

"Therefore If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
