I was not planning to compare myself with anybody. The only reason why I did is because Jrvan created that comparison.
His entire comment to me was to compare the two of us and say "Why do you not like it when I do it but it's okay for you to do." So I answered him and explained what I think the difference is between us. I was just responding directly to the message that he sent me.
Some of the things I put in that comment were things I wanted to say for a couple weeks now. When he said it might be good for both of us to talk and try to get along better if I can agree to that. I wanted to answer him there, but I have been very busy and I did not have the time to focus and try to write something in a way that would be clear for him to read.
And I have never pretended to be perfect. I have never pretended that all of my actions or all of my thoughts are correct. I have never said that I haven't done anything wrong. If you think that I pretend to be perfect, that is your own interpretation but I really don't. My comment you are replying to is all about me saying that I have also contributed and participated in arguments, but that any time I have done this I have accepted and admitted my own participation. And that I have never denied my own part in it, and I have never blamed it 100% only on the other person.
I am happy for people to disagree with me if they are correct, and hopefully they will share more information and explain how it really works so I can learn from it. There is nothing I want more than for everybody to be learning and improving, and I think it is one of the most valuable gifts if somebody can explain to me that I am wrong and teach me what the truth is. I always am wishing for this to happen. But unfortunately usually when people want to tell me I am wrong, many of those people do not want to explain anything and do not want to explain to me how something actually works. I expect facts, details, examples, and explanations how everything fits together in a true and logically verifiable way. If somebody asks me about something I said, I am ready to explain it in every level of detail, show what all the parts are, show what each part does, and how they work together. I wish more people would care to understand and explain things and explain to me the reasons why I am wrong and what the truth really is. But many people do not care as much about the interactions of details, logic, or facts and do not want to justify or explain why they have the ideas that they have. But
there has never been a time when I didn't want somebody to tell me I am wrong if they can explain the reasons why.
Jrvan stated very openly that he did not want a one-on-one personal conversation with you about these things, for good reason. Dahaarkan originally made that suggestion to help out. There was no need for you to lump a couple weeks-worth of emotions towards Jrvan into this thread and speak in a manner of putting him down, when you could have just gone back to the actual thread where the suggestion had been mentioned, and spoken politely about it there instead, where it would have been more appropriate. Another attempted the same thing under an irrelevant thread and made an unnecessary mess of it, leaving nothing to be gained that was remotely helpful to any persons involved. I suggest you don't follow the same approach, if your intentions are to help others, as this brings nothing but frustration.
People have tried to help you where you go wrong many times before, Ol. You haven't listened, and you continue not to listen. The frequent cause for why you are ever wrong about something is because you have misunderstood something, falsely remembered an argument, exaggerated, taken a comment out of context, drew false connections and analysis or misinterpreted something, or plainly claimed something was said that wasn't or twisted what was said to fit a different narrative to make your argument work. When people, myself included, have tried to set you straight on these things, you don't listen and continue to insist on what you believe to be right/true in the given situation, sometimes to the point you end up arguing against yourself. Then you expect us to explain in detail things that can't be explained because what you're wanting us to explain is not correct nor the original concepts that were stated. Every argument Jrvan or I have had with you has fallen along these lines.
You need to start learning to listen when others are trying to correct your misunderstandings, because once you're on a thought train about someone, you run with it until the train crashes. It might be good to see if you have any placements that heighten obsessiveness and stubbornness, especially in communications and interactions with others. The way you communicate with others just makes things painfully frustrating for the people you engage with and also for yourself. You are often very difficult to seek reason with once you strongly believe something about someone or their argument, even if it's incorrect.

And the way of how I responded to him on this topic is directly related to the other topic, which I don't really consider as seperate because those things were written only a few hours before this and are about the same subject.
I said that it is retarded nonsense to say that it is some spiritual benefit to be throwing most of your food in the garbage every time you cook something. And he said that I am retarded for saying that it was retarded. So now only a few hours later when he writes something completely contradicting the other thing, I just ask are you going to admit now that it was retarded? Because two opposite things can't both be right.
Again, he was talking about something psychological, and I already explained this in the previous comment. I suggest re-reading back through it once Mercury is out of Retrograde. Maybe you'll have an easier time understanding.
While on the surface the topics are in ways related because it's talking about food, they reference two different sides of it, so it's fair they are in different threads. One is referencing a physical roundabout way of programming your mind to help you think more positively about your situation. The other is to help gain more food during times of shortages, again, in a physical way. From what I can see, you are more likely reacting to the way he has presented the information, rather than anything about himself or the information in its essence being wrong. So I guess in a way, the advice I gave you can also be applicable to AAA, in this case. The way we approach something can make or break how one will receive it.
From looking at this, AAA is still very much subconsciously trained to seek physical solutions where spiritual ones would otherwise be more effective without the unnecessary drawbacks. Through how he speaks, there is a story there of how he has grown up in the world and that is revealed in the way he writes. It's possible he might have a strong Aries influence or Mars placement, and right now, Jupiter is placing emphasis on such energies.
From the way you write, it appears that you struggle to grasp things that are more abstract to you. You write as though you prefer more clear-cut "equations", and black and white, and this can cause issues in areas that relate to anything of the non-logical mind. With this obsessive logic and heavily mathematical-like way of approaching the world, and needing precise details that are explained in that kind of format, it often bleeds into illogical thinking because it is pushed to an extreme extent that it becomes irrational, and causes problems when engaging with people who are not like that. The way you perceive things starts to become narrow minded, and it seems you struggle to expand to see the larger picture when this happens and causes you to miss certain details that would help you understand.
Just be mindful of this when talking to others who have different ways of looking at the world.

What AAA said is actually a psychological thing. He isn't talking about something spiritual strictly. The material world and the spiritual one are interconnected, where one affects the other and vice versa.
It's going to send a powerful message to your subconscious that we are not in a famine or crisis situation.
This part highlighted in bold is actually a real trick you can do to help your mind believe you have more than what you actually have. Tricks of the mind like this begin to program your thinking that you are not in poverty, thereby increasing your chances of energetically attracting more to yourself. If one is so focused on how little they have, how poor they are, it's going to be harder to pull themselves out of that state. Whereas if they start thinking more positively, "I have plenty, I always have enough to feed myself and my family. I have wealth, and more is coming to me." Since we meditate, thoughts like this hold power and will bring things to you more easily, helping to pull yourself out of poverty.
More bullshit. Especially in a time where there are shortages, rationing, and empty shelves. Thowing most of your food in the garbage is not going to do anything to bring you more food. It is actually directly doing the exact opposite because everything you wasted you now don't have anymore. I am not understanding how you could think that throwing something in the garbage means you have an increased amount of that thing. And where is this increase going to manifest from when the store's shelves are empty?
This is what I mean by your approach needs to change. Please don't cut off my comment. I state after I explain that:
"Of course, there are easier ways to program your mind and aura, through affirmation and spells, without the need to waste any food that you have."
I have no need to state in a precise manner my personal thoughts on whether or not I think AAA's advice is total horseshit or not, because that's not the point anyone needs to push. I see the good in his advice and I see the con's, and I see where his mentality would be better steered to help him as he is more physical-world solution orientated rather than spiritual from what I can gather. Any further thoughts are personal and unhelpful to him or anyone else, and imo, do not need to be said.
The act of putting food in the bin in itself, no, is not going to do anything. Where you are misunderstanding here is the precise point you are focusing on. If you focus on the act of putting food in the bin, you will not be able to understand the psychological effects this has. Mentality and focus affects energy. What you focus on is what you tend to bring into your life. Focus on the positive, you attract positive. Focus on the negative, you attract negative. If you pair a physical action with an affirmation it will have an effect on you, just as it does when you are doing a spell, since you are putting energy into it and directing this energy. If the stores are empty of food, then not even magick will bring food to you easily at that point, and you will have to learn how to hunt and gather for yourself somehow.
I stated the aforementioned line above in italics, because I already understand that wasting food is too risky for most people in poverty to aid in achieving results of a positive nature, that would otherwise come more quickly, easily, and with less risk through magick. However, I do not need to put AAA down in the process of explaining this. This can be calmly and politely explained without calling him retarded for having imperfect ways of thinking and perceiving solutions.
