2024-03-18 19:32 reverendjames #1. Appropriation
2024-03-18 19:33 trollt Cultural "progress" used to be thought real. Is it?
2024-03-18 19:33 phyllismargretgabor it's used a lot on social media to describe white people using Palo Santo and White Safe
2024-03-18 19:33 phyllismargretgabor Sage
2024-03-18 19:33 trollt Misrepresentation and deception are problems included in 'appropriation'.
2024-03-18 19:34 trollt I.e. pretending to be what one is not.
2024-03-18 19:34 lmcradionetwork Syncretism is the practice of combining different beliefs and various schools of thought.
2024-03-18 19:35 dr-sweets The end problem is how to you soothe the hurt feelings of a particular group when it happens? No one deals with that part of it.
2024-03-18 19:37 trollt Licensia!
2024-03-18 19:38 trollt Gatekeeping! Is it EVER valuable?
2024-03-18 19:38 trollt I was part of an ongoing Eclectic Coven which was lovely for many years.
2024-03-18 19:38 phyllismargretgabor no! it doesn't benefit anyone
2024-03-18 19:39 tiegav no I think some people take it too far
2024-03-18 19:39 trollt It was far from traditional but included those who were trad-oriented.
2024-03-18 19:39 rev_art I'd have to agree @phyllismargretgabor and @tiegav
2024-03-18 19:40 heymaganda I actually love the concept of eclecticism... the more facets makes a shinier diamond...
2024-03-18 19:40 reverendjames mixed social status or 'caste'
2024-03-18 19:40 rev_art That's an awesome way to put it @heymaganda!
2024-03-18 19:40 trollt Is eclecticism impure?
2024-03-18 19:41 trollt Does it fail at retaining things?
2024-03-18 19:41 trollt Can we be sure it has anything traditional?
2024-03-18 19:41 trollt Aren't ethics variant across culture?
2024-03-18 19:42 trollt Will we find a Best Set of Ethics we think most will agree with? Or will that prove myopic like 'cultural progress' was found to be within anthropology earlier?
2024-03-18 19:42 phyllismargretgabor I don't think I could even pick just one thing ever. on anything lol I love learning too much
2024-03-18 19:42 trollt What is folk religion? How does it work?
2024-03-18 19:43 trollt Can folk develop standards?
2024-03-18 19:43 trollt Or is it always free-form?
2024-03-18 19:43 trollt Is modern technology in communication and whatnot the DEATH of folk?
2024-03-18 19:44 docmurphy1 Folk will always sprout up!
2024-03-18 19:45 trollt CAN it become part of practice if it is secret and licensed? Can traditions be gated and restricted to those who are the elites and authorized?
2024-03-18 19:45 trollt Are there problems with the syncretism?
2024-03-18 19:46 trollt Don't exclusive ideologies conflict? Do all gods and demons get along?
2024-03-18 19:47 trollt 'intersectional'
2024-03-18 19:47 dr-sweets Finding teachers...and of course for an affordable fee is difficult. So folks pick up bits but not the whole tradition.
2024-03-18 19:48 trollt Is Religious Flavour of the Month just surface level?
2024-03-18 19:49 phyllismargretgabor lol thanks john
2024-03-18 19:50 reverendjames I think thatโs the apex of it - itโs not that people take stuff - but they take stuff and then 'pretend' or perpetuate untruths about said things that furthers their 'right' to it....if that made sense.
2024-03-18 19:51 phyllismargretgabor and you're it even on TikTok. it's wild over there
2024-03-18 19:52 phyllismargretgabor i hate seeing large pages doing it. it reaches so many people and it's just wrong information
2024-03-18 19:52 reverendjames ^ so much this - and I have to bite my tongue...
2024-03-18 19:53 trollt At some point religious witchcraft became a 'thing'
2024-03-18 19:53 trollt It was earlier a MONSTER.
2024-03-18 19:54 trollt Are hoodoo Baptist rootworkers Christian witches?
2024-03-18 19:54 dr-sweets LOL
2024-03-18 19:55 tiegav Lol @ trollt
2024-03-18 19:55 trollt No joke, actually seriously asking.
2024-03-18 19:55 phyllismargretgabor lol
2024-03-18 19:55 trollt No joke about the monster.
2024-03-18 19:55 reverendjames Why not? When I was younger, I accepted that label 'Christian witch'
2024-03-18 19:55 tiegav they said a lot of spiritualists are pagan - thatโs why they ring bells and burn incense to drive away spirits that come into church
2024-03-18 19:57 rev_art I would think hoodoo Baptist rootworkers would be Christian witches, personally
2024-03-18 19:57 heymaganda It's an echo chamber
2024-03-18 19:57 phyllismargretgabor @reverendjames there's one large account on TikTok that calls out other accounts. she is a blessing
2024-03-18 19:58 heymaganda I'm a cultural ethnic mutt
2024-03-18 19:59 reverendjames Never have I ever learned something MEANINGFUL and 'true' on social media (not posted from leaders in that practice/community - I have been introduced to leaders and teachers through social media, like YouTube. i.e. Watching a dharma talk by the Dalai Lama that was recorded).
2024-03-18 19:59 dr-sweets I love a black Baptist church and a white Pentecostal church. Very lively. The presence of the Lord seems to truly be there.
2024-03-18 19:59 phyllismargretgabor I'm pretty sure if I went to Greece I would never come back lol
2024-03-18 20:00 trollt Did anyone ever become white? Or is that a myth?
2024-03-18 20:00 dr-sweets they say white is a mutation......????
2024-03-18 20:00 dr-sweets I donโt know.
2024-03-18 20:01 reverendjames @dr-sweets Agreed! I have seen some miracles in these churches once the Holy Spirit arrives. Elderly women who can barely walk - suddenly jumping up and down, dancing, and jumping pews.
2024-03-18 20:01 heymaganda Yes!!!!
2024-03-18 20:02 dr-sweets jumping pews...Lord have mercy I have seen that.... LOL
2024-03-18 20:02 reverendjames See!
2024-03-18 20:02 dr-sweets The minister walked over the pews. Right down the middle.
2024-03-18 20:03 reverendjames Travel Virtually if you have to!
2024-03-18 20:04 dr-sweets did she say Kool-Aid...
2024-03-18 20:06 heymaganda It's actually a great learning experience to be "the other" in a different culture.
2024-03-18 20:06 lmcradionetwork 100%
2024-03-18 20:07 trollt That's key, yes, knowing who one is. That is fundamental to finding a way not to misrepresent oneself.
2024-03-18 20:10 trollt Is personal gnosis valuable? What is it best for?
2024-03-18 20:11 trollt UPG
2024-03-18 20:12 trollt People are refuting the gnosis of others.
2024-03-18 20:13 trollt Can it be *personally verified*? If it is, does it cease being UPG?
2024-03-18 20:14 trollt Isn't gnosis which is shared the basis of religion?
2024-03-18 20:15 trollt Where religion becomes predatory and self-destructive.
2024-03-18 20:15 trollt Jim Jones et al
2024-03-18 20:15 trollt suicide cults
2024-03-18 20:15 trollt Problematic Religious Groups
2024-03-18 20:16 trollt Danger! Suicide! Self-sterilization! Body-mutilation! Self-destruction!
2024-03-18 20:16 reverendjames Why she's called Mama Moses!
2024-03-18 20:18 dr-sweets An example discussion I witnessed at a mystic fair was white folks speaking about and/or wanting certified hand made silver turquoise jewelry for its spiritual value. Then a Native American educated the group that itโs not the stone itโs just the color that is spiritual. So, the stone could be fake. It just so happened turquoise was locally available and used by the natives. So, a lot of the magic/spiritual value that is associated with turquoise/Native American Indians is just not correct.
2024-03-18 20:20 trollt One of the ways of demonstrating this is by asking questions more than answering them.
2024-03-18 20:20 trollt Asking asking asking, people think you might not know.
2024-03-18 20:21 trollt Why are you asking that? Don't you know the answer?
2024-03-18 20:21 trollt Philosophy is the lever through which this extends.
2024-03-18 20:21 heymaganda It smacks if artifice...
2024-03-18 20:21 heymaganda of
2024-03-18 20:23 rev_art Just a bit @heymaganda
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt Redefine humility
2024-03-18 20:25 phyllismargretgabor yeah social media isn't a very humble place
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt What is it at its best?
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt Is it submission?
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt Is it self-effacement?
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt Is it self-destructive?
2024-03-18 20:25 trollt Is it self-obscuring?
2024-03-18 20:26 trollt Is it best self-identified?
2024-03-18 20:26 trollt Knowing when you know something, hm.
2024-03-18 20:26 heymaganda I view humility as a byproduct of life experience.
2024-03-18 20:27 reverendjames knowing there is always room to learn
2024-03-18 20:27 trollt Can you start off humble?
2024-03-18 20:27 trollt Or do you have to learn your way there?
2024-03-18 20:27 phyllismargretgabor i was thinking earlier when you were talking about traveling and I find that very humbling. being the outsider
2024-03-18 20:28 trollt Aren't there MANY paths which teach that there is One True Way?
2024-03-18 20:28 phyllismargretgabor wow! flew by!!!
2024-03-18 20:28 trollt Are they ALL WRONG?
2024-03-18 20:28 heymaganda I think it might be both
