I often think about God/ DCM and his relationship to myself in the following way: DCM is like the CEO of a multinational corporation, and I am the janitor/ cleaner in one of the smaller dependencies of the firm in another city/ state than the HQ. The CEO does maybe care for me somewhat, but only in a very abstract way, maybe through some spreadsheet, some productivity numbers, or whatever, but probably is not really aware of my existence in this faraway place. But my boss of the janitor gang, he knows me and cares for me, as do all my other janitor colleagues, because I am part of the team, and if I fail, or don’t fulfill my end of the bargain, everybody suffers. If something happens to me, the CEO is not going to hear about it; again it may change some figures in a spreadsheet, but otherwise it won’t have any personal impact on him. Whereas my boss and my janitor colleagues will be upset, if I am injured and need some time off. They will have to take up the slack, shift around rosters etc. And they may like me as a guy (I can be funny, sometimes …).

But the CEO cares about the business, so he will try to put conditions in place that make productivity better. And that may be that my working conditions are made better, that my pay goes up, that we get a new coffee machine for breaks etc. All he cares about is that the business is prospering.

I think it is similar with the DCM - he doesn’t really care about me as an individual. But I am part of him, and the endpoint is to go back to him. But there are persons/ groups that do care, and when I pray, that’s who I address - my tribe/ soul group, my ancestors, highly-evolved beings, who are his emissaries, etc. They have a vested interest that I am doing the best I can, as this reflects back to them in some way and furthers the group as a whole.

Now I know that I have a tendency to use analogies that ‘limp’ a bit (), they certainly are not a true reflection of the way things are, reality is a lot more complex/ complicated, but to me they are helpful.

So maybe they are helpful to you, too.

Thanks, Nicklebleu, for sharing the analogy. I understand your point.

My initial concern was that the CEO of this multinational corporation in the Universe couldn't care less whether you clean or make a mess, whether you repair or break things, whether you arrive on time or not. He doesn't care, so there are no mistakes you need to detect, no faults you need to clear yourself of, no offenses against the universe. We could even say that this CEO not only accepts but is also pleased whether you clean or make a mess.

Furthermore, you realize that there are bosses who have teams that clean and other bosses who have teams that make a mess.

Then you arrive at work, and you are the one who must decide whether in that company you will be the one who causes damage or the one who fixes it. Therefore, you will have to decide which team you will join.

But you realize that when you joined the company, you chose to join the team of those who do the dirty work, and now they tell you that you can say you want to join the other team. So, to decide, you ask what the company policy is or what the CEO wants, or you ask for the company's mission/vision, and you see that the only policy is that you are free to decide and that there is balance among the work teams.

The worst part is that there are several human resources offices. Some tell you that the CEO is loving, merciful, compassionate, and just, so any act of hatred, indifference, or vengeance is the responsibility of corrupt employees. Others tell you there is no CEO. And still others tell you that the CEO is loving and hateful, merciful and indifferent, just and vengeful.

That was the part that made me feel helpless.

Then I realized I wasn't helpless, because—as you say—instead of focusing on the CEO, I should focus on the effects of my actions on my coworkers. That way, we can help each other, ask for help, and guide each other through the example of others. We can also connect with those who have already left the company. Or learn from the senior executives of 4D, 5D, or 6D who decided to be part of the groups that clean, tidy, and tidy.

Finally, what all this reflection and the contributions of the other forum members have shown me is that I joined this company called Life in 3D wanting to be on the team that comes for donuts and watches movies during work hours. I mean, they're not even good SAS, like the janitors who work overtime to earn more money or one day become a manager. And they're not good STOs who do their job well so the other employees can have a pleasant place to work.

So, I realize I feel helpless because I'm the one who isn't doing enough to connect my actions with the values I claim to profess; I'm the one who isn't close enough to the STO custodian team. But I know that when I do, I'm a good STO custodian and I get help from other custodians or senior STO executives, and even the CEO sees me favorably, because what he wants most is for us to be the best expression of one of his personalities.

This is hilarious! Well, at least to me it is.

Secretary Kennedy was talking about things he has accomplished. And one of the things was to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies. Below is a comment about it and a comment on the commenter. (I hope that makes sense.)

Here's the complete comment so you all don't have to go to X to see it all.

Well, consarn it, ya goldarn varmint! That Pesach Lattin feller's a rootin' tootin' entrepreneur, rabbi, and ex-hacker turned marketin' whiz. He's built ad networks, fought fraud with the Secret Service, and pens articles on ethics. Orthodox Jew, libertarian, with a heap of kids. Dagnabbit, he's busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kickin' contest!

I guess I should have know that an AI can do this, but it took me by surprise.
