Of course you know, it's called projecting. He doesn't know what goes on in the mind of his readers. "... humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually intolerant may constantly accuse other people of being intolerant. It incorporates blame shifting." Go away?

Yeah, you troll here.

Oh really? THAT's delusional. This lends credence to my observation that you're not here to prove anything.

You've not even started proving anything but that you're a Wierwille acolyte.

Pure Evil model is a construct solely of the mind of Mike. Nothing more, nothing less.

I posit that Mike's function here is similar to that of a Russian bot. Not really to argue his alleged thesis but rather to undermine the entire purpose of GSC by way of distracting, not quite fully coherent propaganda so that lurkers get a sense of cognitive dissonance about the primary message of the website.

Because you did not make an argument but rather just a narcissistic pronouncement, this message is just more quasi-intellectual bull$hit. Really Socrates is right.

Apparently, I still wasn't clear... or you just can't or won't see my point. NO, you didn't prove even one tiny point. I could see that YOU were claiming what you said you were claiming. That doesn't mean I believe your claim, or acknowledge its veracity. Even IF Dictor was trying to claim, in an occult fashion, that he WAS proclaiming something that was direct insight from the Creator of heaven and earth I believe it was nothing more than a narcissistic proclamation. My view fits entirely within what Twinky explained about who gets the glory. Sorry, I'm done taking your (quasi-intellectual bull$hit for) bait.

No... Loy was promoting the magical thinking fantasy. Once it was in the senses realm, debbil spurts could steal it. IIRC, that IS how he described it.

I emphatically disagree with your characterization. Yes, the 22 passages were hidden but only because you've misunderstood what Dictor was saying. I liken your cockamamie interpretation of Dictor's dictum(s) to what an old friend told me in October 2016. He predicted the outcome of a certain election and declared that said outcome would usher in the Kingdom of God on Earth. I told him then that I thought that notion was overwhelmingly absurd. Your interpretation of the passages you've posted thus far is overwhelmingly absurd. Further, I can't see how any of the rest of them could possibly be anything but absurd. Personally, I don't care where you obtained your "verbal tip."

Sigh... yeah, you're right.

Apparently, I wasn't clear. That Dictor claimed that what he was speaking was God-breathed is irrelevant. We can see what you're talking about. I don't believe that those 22 occult statements (occult means hidden) constitute anything even approaching "evidence" that they were God-breathed. If you're going to make a convincing case that anything he spoke or wrote (or had anyone else write) was God-breathed, you're going to have to do it without reliance on his narcissistic pronouncements.

He hid them? Nonsense. He made claims that any two-bit con man can and has made millions of times over the last two millenia. If you're going to make a case that anything Dictor said or (had someone else write) wrote was god-breathed, you've got a LONG way to go. And the case will not be made simply by showing that he claimed his own words were god-breathed.

Mike, what distinguished Dictor's words from any other snake oil salesman? Just because he said he was telling you something that he believed was god-breathed, doesn't make it so. Any two-bit preacher can (and it's a safe assumption that many did) make similar claims. I get that you are presenting your claims in the form of logical arguments, but it's abundantly clear that you're not a logician.

Ask Google. I already gave you links to get started. I'm not a university professor.

THAT was the root of the evil that was and is Dictor's cult. But you say, doesn't scripture tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil? Well, "axiomatically" [one can't serve two masters] if one is narcissistically incapable of considering the needs of "his way corps" perhaps he's more obsessed with what is important to himself... even if he frames it as "word over the world" and "the word of God is the will of God." Or as Martin Buber put it, there's a fundamental difference between the I-Thou relationship and the I-It relationship. To Dictor, the way corpse (individuals as well as the group) was a thing, not a human who deserved to be treated with dignity.

In each of the three, you're REALLY stretching it when you claim that they are anything but Dictor using the expression as anything but a communication device. By that I mean, the point he's making is that he wants the student/reader/listener to get the point. So he's representing the point as being from God himself. I do vaguely recall teachings on Figures of Speech that address that very communication device.

I saw them. Looks to me like you may have mischaracterized them.

yes

Perhaps because it's pretty much bull$hit.

I've been getting laughs with that bit for more than 40 years.... that and "I'm so mad at my mother..."

That's his response when people ask him how he can be so effin' funny...

Fairy tales. Artists (dance) communicating fantastical stories.

Expounding a bit on the subject of stories and Mike's allegations of a so-called "pure evil" model of evaluating Dictor. Btw, didn't Jesus use stories (parables) to communicate?

1) Nobody's forcing you to do ANYthing. 2) You seriously mischaracterize belief as hope. 3) "because if I'm lucid..." seems to take the form of an argument, but is FAR from a legitimate argument.
