"Melancholy, the subject of our present discourse, is either in disposition or in habit. In disposition, is that transitory Melancholy which goes and comes upon every small occasion of sorrow, need, sickness, trouble, fear, grief, passion, or perturbation of the mind, any manner of care, discontent, or thought, which causes anguish, dulness, heaviness and vexation of spirit, any ways opposite to pleasure, mirth, joy, delight, causing forwardness in us, or a dislike. In which equivocal and improper sense, we call him melancholy, that is dull, sad, sour, lumpish, ill-disposed, solitary, any way moved, or displeased. And from these melancholy dispositions no man living is free, no Stoic, none so wise, none so happy, none so patient, so generous, so godly, so divine, that can vindicate himself; so well-composed, but more or less, some time or other, he feels the smart of it. Melancholy in this sense is the character of Mortality... This Melancholy of which we are to treat, is a habit, a serious ailment, a settled humour, as Aurelianus and others call it, not errant, but fixed: and as it was long increasing, so, now being (pleasant or painful) grown to a habit, it will hardly be removed.

Date: July 10th, 2018 8:03 PM Author: Deranged Coldplay Fan Crackhouse I never got through it because it's long as FUCK and can be hard to follow his train of thought (almost stream of consciousness) basically, parts of it talk about melancholy as a physical ailment, one of the "humours," which was accepted science at the time. But a lot of it is just a million references to philosophical texts about what makes someone unhappy |

|
Date: July 10th, 2018 8:11 PM Author: Deranged Coldplay Fan Crackhouse the best way to deal with melancholy is by staying busy, both in body and in mind (and no, wagecucking type of "busy" does not count as truly intellectually busy). develop hobbies, go to the gym or at least run, try to socialize at least once in a while with people you actually enjoy being around, read good books, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4022556&forum_id=2#36401110) |

Date: July 10th, 2018 7:54 PM Author: opaque regret I’m nowhere close to being truly happy, but have made recent improvements.
One is to spend a lot less time here, as this place is very negative and toxic. It’s only when you spend a couple days away and come back that you really see it. It’s just a bad habit for me so I come back, but really try to limit it.
The second is to be more religious. It really is TCR. I spent 6 hours with some evangelical friends a while ago, and have been getting more into it. I really like it. Best part is they reject this fraud pope in favor of the scriptures. I also listen to Joel Osteen everyday and LOVE him. He’s portrayed as a charlatan in the (((media))), but he preaches one of the most positive messages I’ve ever heard. Seriously recommend listening to 10 minutes of him with an open mind. |

I voted for Johnson, fwiw. and GOD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO BE WEALTHY. You have clearly not read the Bible at all if you disagree with that. Prosperity doctrine is complete bullshit based on woo. You might as well be extolling the "doctrine" of The Secret |
|
Date: July 10th, 2018 8:11 PM Author: opaque regret Oh, I know that. I don’t listen to him for serious theology.
I listen to him because I LOVE his message. Basically guaranteed to put you in a good mood. It sounds like you haven’t listened to him for more than 5 min, and instead are criticizing the Prosperity Gospel in general, which I agree is bullshit. But that’s a shame, because you’re really missing out. |

Date: July 10th, 2018 8:15 PM Author: Deranged Coldplay Fan Crackhouse 20 minutes a day of meditation would actually improve your outlook and overall mental health a million times more. obviously cutting down on XO would be good for all of us. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2018 8:18 PM Author: opaque regret Meditation isn’t convenient, while listening to Osteen is. Plus, you keep ducking the issue, which is that you’ve never listened to him for more than 5 min.
It’s very easy to take his more egregious stuff with a grain of salt, and focus on his relentless positivity. I strongly recommend trying it. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2018 8:21 PM Author: Overrated fishy corner my problem with Osteen and others is they never discuss what's plaguing the people these days. I know they have their place with this "positive" christian thinking and outlook stuff, but we need more people sounding the alarms about usury. When was the last time you heard the pope even mention anything about usury? Imagine how many xo poasters would be better off today if someone had warned them about usury? Osteen = via positiva E. Michael Jones = via negativa |

Date: July 10th, 2018 8:39 PM Author: Overrated fishy corner Don't take on $150k debt to go to law school. To put it in simple xo terms: don't become a debtcuck in order to become a wagecuck for the rest of your life. It's the greatest duping in the history of the world, to get an entire generation of Americans to willfully become lifelong debt slaves. It's one of the greatest tragedies to ever befall this country. And where were the religious leaders? Where were the popes? Where were the priests? Where were the preachers? Why weren't they WARNING us?
Dr. E. Michael Jones is the only one out there banging the drum, sounding the alarm on usury. He's providing the intellectual rhetoric for the people to combat the vile filth being spewed from the usury factories (universities). Case in point, watch him eviscerate this balding English faggot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zM6WhQPHSg

Date: July 10th, 2018 9:49 PM Author: opaque regret Ok, I watched the whole thing. Which is 20 more minutes than Autistic Chad (the other guy in this subthread) ever listened to Joel Osteen.
These two people are not compliments or analogues; they aren't in the same sphere. This video was fine, but all political. It seems like Jones basically advocates the populist/nationalist agenda, which of course I agree with.
But he's neither here nor there in relation to Osteen. Here is a sample Osteen video I found simply by googling "Joel Osteen." I only listened to 30 sec, but it has his trademark AMAZING style and message. Try listening to at least 10 minutes of it, and you will see how right I am - and how wrong the arrogant fools who tear down a scarecrow of him without ever having heard him speak - are.

Before you throw away the historical church however, give the sensus fidelium youtube channel a shot as well. Godspeed. |

Date: July 10th, 2018 10:14 PM Author: opaque regret This is what I'm in the middle of reading, and really enjoy it:
https://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Christian-Master-Reference-Collection-ebook/dp/B00ASISYQ6
I consider it, along with the scriptures, as the necessary theology base to internalize. As far as I'm concerned, the presence of the fraud pope alone is enough to fatally shoot down Catholicism. Every time I think he can't get any worse, he manages to one-up himself. But on a fundamental level, I reject the whole concept of God speaking through a man (each new pope). I think it's just bullshit.
If I could listen to your recommendations in the car, I'd give them a shot. Otherwise, Joel Osteen wins all my time. People seem to misunderstand my love for his message as wholeheartedly embracing the Prosperity Gospel. He's just so positive and great to listen to. |

Date: July 10th, 2018 8:05 PM Author: Curious native so much of life is horribly depressing.
getting older is terrible.
watching others get older and die is terrible.
having to wagecuck your life away is terrible.
now add in all of the technology that is actually ruining our lives.
i was thinking about that last one today.
i will go to work. my outlook email will keep pinging work that demands my immediate attention. all the while, the cell phone on my desk will be repeatedly buzzing from text messages from my mother or friends, demanding some kind of immediate attention. (the ones from my mother will be a string of 8-12 because she's usually describing in excruciatingly depressing details my father's latest medical diagnosis.)
the phone will ring, from bill collectors harassing me. and also buzz from repeated emails from GC trying to get me to buy stuff (finally turned the email notification off today on my phone).
oh wait, more work assignments in my work email.
it's fucking information overload and it fries my mind. my jaw hurts from subconsciously clenching it as these indicators go off, all demanding your immediate attention.
then you come home from work, want to relax, but it's more texts buzzing.
it's exhausting. god i wished in a time where houses were further apart and you couldn't get harassed 24/7 electronically. it would take the pony express or even the post office. and for work you didn't have to accomplish tasks that needed immediate attention due to the interconnectedness of GC.
for all of the benefits of technology, we are not made for this kind of information overload.
