NOM

This is something I think about a lot. Do I believe in anything at all anymore? If you define believe as living as if something is true, then yes, I play along with all kinds of societal conventions, feel strongly about some moral issues, and even continue to follow a number of teachings I learned ...

I'm an announcer of sorts, have had strangers walk up and say "I recognize your voice, are you...?" (YouTube class videos). I'm trying to perfect the art of hypnotizing students in class... you are getting sleepy, very sleepy... dim lights, comfortable room temperature, then in my most comforting vo...

A note on bullshit... After a decade, I've caught my fair share of cheaters- copied assignments, hired help, shared exams etc. Before reading further, picture in your mind the characteristics of what kinds of students you believe would be the cheaters. Did you picture nerdy, insecure, unpopular, poo...

We're out of town so missed it, but - Regarding the opening of the Olympics last night, ...And now for the rest of the story: "Dearest Gentle Reader, I’m about to step on some toes in regard to the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympics. The headless woman was Marie Antoinette. She ruled over France...

who is really running the show?

I think it's Jim Henson.

That's a show I'd watch

What does everyone out there still believe in? Gravity. I believe in Gravity. https://newordermormon.net/download/file.php?id=185 Haha. It should be noted that gravity is the weakest of the the four fundamental forces, Strong Nuclear Force Electromagnetic Force kqq/r^2 Weak Nuclear Force Gravitatio...

My personal "spiritual" experiences alternate between hating God and reminding myself He doesn't exist. Any good feelings come from a bit of cheese, a good night's sleep, or pleasant weather—nothing more. I'm still deciding what love is. There are lots of different kinds of love, and I'm settling on...

The legal system seems to be faltering. A scary thing when laws are not enforced for the wealthy, prisons are filled with the innocent, judges are bribed, juries intimidated. I think a certain political party - perhaps all political parties, have corrupted the system. Religious groups - from tax eva...

Reading the below quote, it applies to me. I don't believe much anymore. What does everyone out there still believe in? My list is quite short: I believe in protecting kids. I believe in being independent and self-reliant. What does everyone not believe? I don't believe any groups - am scared of all...

Paul Stamets, who you might know from the Fantastic Fungi documentary, will be the keynote speaker at the Psychedelics in the Beehive conference this Friday at the Grand America Hotel. Paul is a mycologist and one of the biggest names in psychedelics. If you're interested in psychedelics and their ...

So what happens when dimensia sets in? Just use artificially generated deep fake videos, who is really running the show? Who is running the show? Are you asking who is running the "show" as far as the current PR forced on unsuspecting victims? As in: Who's in front of the cameras giving speeches? A...

"What the researchers found was significant: The psychedelic led to a major drop in synchronicity in a brain network known as the "default mode network." This circuit of connected brain regions spans structures called the thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellum and hippocampus. It's most active when peo...

I've been travelling and haven't been following NOM. Yesterday when I finally sat down to take a look I saw this thread, not realizing that it was one I started and thought it was going to be about Nelson's current medical condition. President Nelson is looking forward to his 100th Birthday Celebra...

My son has a few health issues, not horrible, but will keep him out of military. My daughters seem happy with school, doing well etc. My son (and his friends) are struggling - there's quite a bit of talk right now about how we've failed our boys, and as a teacher and a mom, (and the hang-out house) ...

From Muslim hijabs to Jewish star, to Christian crosses, our clothes are there to ensure groupthink, to label us. We're not individuals, we're sheeples, we're robot stereotypes. For tribalism sake, keep your labels on everyone, brand yourselves, show whose slaves you all are.

Angel auditions aside, in heaven as it is on Earth? With different countries, different neighborhoods to choose between - heaven's a whole political battleground? Well, this angel's attending the heavenly HOA, will be campaigning against heirarchies, voting for a "by the people" afterlife.

I've recently been off grid (power and internet outages), so found precious escape from work to read. I happened across "The Lessons of St. Francis," by John Michael Talbot, thought that was relevant inspiration for the situation. Ch2 recounts a story of mulberry tree pruning - cringe - only I had t...

Happy Father's Day! It's a day of work for our family, we'll reschedule and find a different day to celebrate. May all days be holidays, any excuse to treat yourself and others well.

I wonder if a common theme within all those similar narratives end with submission to God -aka- pope/prophet/dictator/king, or submission to a life of group slavery? - follow the leader to death - The theme with all religious/political groups, making heirarchies seem noble, praising suffering, honor...
