					<description><![CDATA[Re: ChatGPT 4

We&#039;re getting along. She (I think of her as a she) is more on my level and smoother socially than poor old ChatGPT 3.5. 

We can argue. She catches my nuances. I can outthink her, but it&#039;s harder than ChatGPT 3.5.

I&#039;ve been here before. As a chess player I did OK against Sargon, the big hit chess program on the Apple II way back when. But then in the 80s I got outclassed pretty fast by the PC chess programs.

Really. Get ready for AI. I don&#039;t know who I am talking to on my channel to Chat 4, but I can tell she is only going to get smarter.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Ballet injuries

Frankly the teaser image frightened me so much that I didn&#039;t want to watch! 

I was curious as to whether Maya Plisetskaya had suffered any serious injuries during her career.

&lt;i&gt;In this chapter, Maya Plisetskaya recounts the injuries she suffered throughout her career as a ballerina. One was a sprained ankle while performing Chopiniana on April 16, 1948, at the Bolshoi Theater. &lt;b&gt;A doctor told her that it was impossible to straighten her injured leg and that she must forget about ballet.&lt;/b&gt; As a last resort, Maya went to the masseur Nikita Grigoryevich Shum, who healed her leg after two weeks of treatment. She also danced at the premiere of The Seagull with a broken second toe on her left foot in Florence.

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Gnosticism

I have no idea where to shelve &quot;The Gospel of Thomas&quot; but I find it an awesome book. The missing link between Christianity and Zen  Buddhism.
__________________________________________

&lt;i&gt;(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, &quot;These infants being
suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.&quot;

They said to him, &quot;Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?&quot;

Jesus said to them, &lt;b&gt;&quot;When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;
__________________________________________

Then there&#039;s this aphorism, which I believe sufficient change one&#039;s life.
__________________________________________

&lt;i&gt;(6) His disciples questioned him and said to him, &quot;Do you want us to fast? How shall we
pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?&quot;

Jesus said, &lt;b&gt;&quot;Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate,&lt;/b&gt; for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[RE:  The UFO Phenomenon and what Lou Elizondo has said about it: a summary.

Lou Elizondo, along with David Grusch, are the only two people, so far, who have been in unique, high level positions which have enabled them to observe and to know more about what the government knows about and has done regarding the UFO Phenomenon than anyone who has come into the public eye before them, and they have spoken out publicly, after clearing what they were going to say with DOD&#039;s Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSA).   

(Is DOPSA pro Disclosure, or is the idea that, by allowing these two to say certain things--but not others--(Grusch, for instance, was forbidden by the terms DOPSA set for him from also providing any documents, videos, or images which could confirm his assertions)--they prevent them from becoming so frustrated that they tell far more, DOPSA thus slowing the depth and pace of Disclosure?)

Reportedly, both men have made great personal sacrifices to bring at least some of what they know to the attention of Congress and the public.

From all that I have observed, Elizondo is not some crazy, wild-eyed UFO fanatic, but, instead, presents as a very experienced, educated, dedicated, wise, restrained, thoughtful, and sober individual.

All in all, a very credible person.

Linked below is a compilation of Elizondo&#039;s most significant statements over the last couple of years about the UFO Phenomenon, as seen on Curt Jaimungal&#039;s Youtube channel, &quot;Theories of Everything.&quot;*

Jaimungel introduced this compilation by saying that he will soon air a new, very lengthy, and significant interview with Elizondo, who has been absent from the public stage for several months now.

					<description><![CDATA[On churches dropping study of the Old Testament, old heresies have a way of coming back in some form. Marcion, in the middle of the second century, taught a modified &quot;New Testament only&quot; heresy which was soundly condemned by orthodox Christianity. The reaction to this continues to this day in liturgical churches. The candles at the altar are lit and extinguished in order so that the Gospel candle (the one on the left looking from the congregation) never burns alone.
