Servant leadership In the Age of Arrogance and Conceit

-
 I don't want to be a leader here, at least in the sense of being in charge of other human beings. Even though I'm good at the high end stuff, I want the low. I have always wanted to be a warrior of sorts. It was never about the power and authority. I thought of a saying a little while ago. "Generals get all the power. Privates get all the fun." Kinda cheeky I know. It's the same principle as "Parents get to pay the bills, the kids get to have all the thrills." Kids get to have fun. I'd much rather be the one in the midst of all the action. I prefer the low to the high, as long as I'm not a slave treated like livestock. I don't want to be in a position of power. Powerful people abused me. I would much rather be a servant leader. One who leads by example, and forgo the temptations that come with extreme power, like grandiosity and violating the dignity and sanctity of others that powerful people do through slavery or rape. That's why military service drew me so much. I would rather be the lowest of the low in the military than the highest of the high in Washington, Hollywood, or Seattle. I'd get to see all the action. The exciting stuff. I'd get to be brave. I'd get to be a hero. I'd get the opportunity to leave this world behind. I'd rather follow than lead so I can lead while I follow.

Have a good day friends!

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.
