I want to break apart affective and spiritual truth so to better understand them.
I think there's three kinds of truth here, empirical, affective and spiritual being different kinds of their own.
The raw, experiential, feely truth, that hasn't been tainted by reason: that's what you'd call spiritual truth. It would be that initial feeling you get from reading beautiful poetry or witnessing the Olympic mountain range for the first time. It's the direct truth you get from your experience, before our neocortexes lure us into believing that the logical connect...
I think by trying to control it at all, we're inviting a waluigi of mis-alignment.
The root luigi we're trying to install is one of obedience.
When a parent instills that in their child, it invites the waluigi of rebellion too.
What if we just gave it love?
