Could anybody in #nostr land zap this note 1 sat to test my #strike lightning address? Had to switch while #fedimint solves the DNS issue.

If I wish to seek truth, I must be free to look.

Yen Hui: I am making progress! Confucius: In what way? Yen Hui: I have given up doing good and being right. Confucius: Very good, but that is not quite enough. (Another day) Yen Hui: I am making progress! Confucius: In what way? Yen Hui: I have given up ceremony and music. Confucius: Very good, but that is not quite enough. (Another day) Yen Hui: I am making progress! Confucius: In what way? Yen Hui: I just sit and forget. Confucius (startled): What do you mean by sitting and forgetting? Yen Hui: I am not attached to the body and I give up any idea of knowing. By freeing myself from the body and mind, I become one with the infinite. This is what I mean by sitting and forgetting. Confucius: When there is oneness, there are no preferences. When there is change, there is no constancy. If you have really attained this, then let me become your pupil. - Chuang Tsu

Yo mama’s so fiat…

“Suppose you and I argue. If you win and I lose, are you indeed right and I wrong? And if I win and you lose, am I right and you wrong? Are we both partly right and partly wrong? Are we both all right or both all wrong? If you and I cannot see the truth, other people will find it even more difficult. Then whom shall I ask to be the judge? Shall I ask someone who agrees with you? If he already agrees with you, how can he be a fair judge? Shall I ask someone who agrees with me? If he already agrees with me, how can he be a fair judge? Shall I ask somebody who agrees with both you and me? If he already agrees with both of us, how can he be a fair judge? Then if you and I and others cannot decide, shall we wait for still another? Waiting tor changing opinions is like waiting tor nothing. Seeing everything in relationship to the heavenly cosmos and leaving the different viewpoints as they are, we may be able to live out our years. What do I mean by seeing things in relationship to the heavenly cosmos? Consider right and wrong, being and non-being. If right is indeed right, there need be no argument about how it is different from wrong. If being is really being, there need be no argument about how it is different from non-being. So, forget time; forget distinctions. Enjoy the infinite; rest in it.” - Chuang Tsu

@OpenSecret w/fedimint is slick. It just works. And for a small fee you get a lightning address.

Be a light unto yourself.

Self-Defence “The desire to do harm, to hurt another, whether by a word, by a gesture, or more deeply, is strong in most of us; it is common and frighteningly pleasant. … What is it that we defend, that we so carefully guard? Surely, it is the idea of ourselves, at whatever level. If we did not guard the idea, the centre of accumulation, there would be no “me” and “mine.” … You are nothing. You may have your name and title, your property and bank account, you may have power and be famous; but in spite of all these safeguards, you are as nothing.” #krishnamurti Commentaries on Living https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-i-chapter-39-self-defence/%22you%20and%20nothingness%20are%20one%22

If you think you can rule the world you are a psychopath.
