More knowledge ===>> ???

[13yearold]

Good time of day.

There are two big-picture observations i would like to make about the site's layout and functionality, before moving on to the core.

1) i find most inkblots with face-like imprints to be disturbing on this site, to the point that i blocked those images - simply put a cup between my eyes and the monitor screen to not see those images.

it made me wonder about the purpose of those images ...

2) otherwise i find many statements to be rather to the point, and helpful

it has been my education to consider a human traits construct to be fundamentally "good", but i am finding more and more that the fundamental trait is for humans to be " egoistic / selfish / egocentric ".

i hold a view that this is the core fallacy that derails all well-intended scientific progress, innovations, and good will activities, enabling it all to be hijacked for ill-willed purposes of the few who invest in promotion of selfishness and egoism / egocentrism, and destruction of true spirituality.

these latter investors know their investments pay back as they capture control of key functions in society, enabling them to push for more momentum-building...

given this setup, how can we turn knowledge into positive use, how can we succeed to maintain ourselves in positive most of the time ?

i understand that connecting the good will people should help bring the answer forward, but i also realise that generically, information exchange makes all networking activities to be very easily detectable by those ill-willed gatekeepers...

Sorry that you didn't like some of the paintings. I never before realized that some do look a bit like Rorschach inkblots, but they weren't meant to evoke any certain reaction, and were meant instead to provide some visual interest. So far, most who've commented have been positive about the art. If users come to find any of the specific images to be disturbing, we can remove or move any specific images. They certainly aren't meant to disturb!

I'm glad that you found the written content to be helpful. Most people who've given us feedback have been positive about the written content, and some have found it be moving for them.

In terms of how spiritual forces can move forward in a world in which egoistic and selfish forces seem to hold sway, I'd suggest several thoughts:
1. Don't be vigilant or suspicious, be be aware and alert, not all that has a spiritual label has positive intentions;
2. Recall that dark is not the opposite of light, but its absence, so there's no power in darkness, but the smoke and mirrors can be very convincing;
3. Many observers have suggested that the world will appear to turn towards the ego on the surface, as deeper spiritual currents are moving, but haven't broken the surface yet.

Those thoughts help me, at the least! Thanks for your observations.
