Today I became Capsuleeer.
I had but one request of the medic who preformed the operation.. that my soon to be former body not be administered any pain drugs. I wanted to remember, to honor those not blessed as I was soon to be.. to learn God's lesson.
And learn it I did, I could feel my brain burning within my skull.. such pain.. such truth!
It is through pain that we learn of course, that God corrects up and guides us. Not pain we inflict on others, or that others inflict on us.. though that too can be a lesson, but pain brought to us by God and ourselves when we must humble our own Flesh.
Remember the pain, embrace it, endure it and grow as is His will!

Um. Pilot?
The brain itself doesn't have any pain sensors. You can't actually feel what happens to it.
Whatever you felt, respectfully, it probably wasn't that.
Congratulations on your graduation, though.
Are you any relation to Maria Daphiti and Lunarisse Aspenstar, by any chance? |

I am not related to either of those persons, no. I confess that neuroscience is not my area so I concede that you may be right about my understanding of the pain I felt being in error. It was no illusion however, of that I am certain.
I thank you for your welcome. |

Definitely the trick of the mind. We tend to see or feel what we believe we should see or feel. A human foible, if you will.

There is a log in Amarr's eye...
Woe to the hypocrites of Amarr.. repent and accept your chastisement. I have this very day seen the sin of our own Home... and wept for the suffering that must be endured to correct it.
The Sins of Amarr are many, but most visibly: In-hospitality, Pride, Vanity, Games of chance, Abuse of the weak, and others to numerous to name.
Amarr is meant to be the light of God's wisdom... not a pit of depravity. When the city on the hill produced nothing but filth, those below suffer needlessly.
Perhaps the Drifters are our chastisement.. perhaps not.. but weep, faithful, for the suffering Amarr must endure if it is to be worthy of it's God given Name!

Brother Shaddam,
Welcome.
Realize, that you are embarking on a journey. Realize too, that all your training, all your education and all your expectations are about to be tossed right out the airlock.
The Axioms of the Capsuleer: Stay alert. Trust no one. Keep your laser handy. You are in mortal danger the second you undock, even in HiSec. If it sounds like a scam it probably is a scam. If it doesn't sound like a scam, it most certainly is one. Never undock in something you can't afford to lose. No one here is exactly who or what they appear to be. Live long, fly safe, fight well, die often. Keep the Faith. Do not feed the Drifters.
This list is woefully incomplete and I probably lied at least once. Here's a spaceship and a copy of the Pax Amarria. Go figure the rest out for yourself.
Dark Amarr: Rumors!

I understand the last weeks before the transformation are fairly stressful and there are many things on the mind other than the news so you may not have heard: Her Holyness declared the Drifters are not the Lord's work hence they cannot be a divine chastisement.

Amarr is one of the classiest systems in Empire, sir.
I've always found the local personalities very friendly in comparison to other similar systems, always hospitable (though perhaps that's just toward my family and I) with fantastic food, coffee and a market that's very competitive. Amarr locals certainly know style and they have every reason to be proud in my opinion.
In anycase, congratulations on your graduation to capsuleer, sir. Fly fun out there.

You cannot pick parts of faith you like while discarding others.
If the amarr faith is true then the empress speaks with the voice of GOD and the Drifters are not HIS work. If it is not then GOD does not exist and they are also not HIS work.
An addition to the hospitability thing: I have always felt welcome in the empire and have never been offended by the native populace. More than I can say of my time in the federation, the republic or even my "home" state. |

Except that if the Amarr faith is true then the Empress is human, and thus, fallible. Only God is infallible. Which means she can get it wrong.

A meditation for today:
If Suffering is God's and God's alone to met, for the chastisement of sin and reclamation of hearts... How then is violence, even violence in self defense justified?
In a perfect universe, it is not.
We do not however live in a perfect universe, we live in a fallen universe. Our responses can only be expected to be as imperfect as ourselves. Therefore, Violence happens.
We can however, choose to mediate violence with mercy, applying only force as needed and avoiding causing suffering where it is not needed...
of course in the chastisement of our own flesh.. which we must master.. we must also apply mercy... Cutting off the hand that sins leaves one with no hand.. striking it with the rod instructs the flesh.
Amen.

I can't hear you over the sound of systems being reclaimed.

For faith is your armor
And through it, the enemy will find no breach
Wrap your arms around the enemy

And with it, burn away his evil"

You speak with the anger of a child who hates their parents rod refusing to see your own sins. I will not say that anger is unjustified, as many apply that rod too freely and with too much enjoyment of it.
Perhaps God will provide you guidance in the form of a Holder who will help you to stand in the midst of your own suffering.
Amen. |

I have seen often that pagans and apostates will use the words :
"I do not believe in your God."
As if belief somehow makes a shred of difference?
It is the revealed will of God that all should be reclaimed unto Him. So what does your belief matter, little speck? The leaf does not need to believe in the wind, nor the sea creature the current of the oceans...
Both are directed none the less, both suffer, both are taught... such is the way with all humanity, even capsuleers.
Amen. |

It means a lot when countless people saying so have guns trained on you as you attempt to enforce the will of what they don't place their faith. Speak with your scriptures they'll still just speak with their guns. Is that not enough of a difference? They can see the effects of their guns can you really see the physical effects of your words? |

It would depend what actions are inspired in people by those words. Simple words can be as devastating and as useful as the practical application of the fire arm. Sometimes more useful than others. |

Amen. It's a lovely thought, really, but we think of it a little differently.
The leaf does not have to believe in the wind for it to be moved; the leaf doesn't know the wind at all, it only knows motion. A more direct translation of our saying is "the leaf does not feel the winds." It's a suggestion that a master of the Way has no rules and knows no secrets, but only acts, in accordance with the winds that move her.
I suspect your meaning is a little different, though. |

Belief makes a heck of a lot of difference when disbelief is accompanied by the will to wade through enough oceans of blood to kill every believer.
I have no intention of doing so myself, mind you, but there are others out there with the will, and the venom, and the desire. |

I'm simply saying with those words the desire to defend those thoughts is present. And they're generally with force. The opposite side of the fence is true as well, really with equal force i can safely admit.That's where this difference lays. The difference in beliefs creates a lot of the conflict, thus how can you not see it? |

I have received the following mail and decided that this Public Journal is an ideal place to answer it
Quote:Hello
I See you Believe in Salvation through Hardship.
Do you also Believe in Prophetic Visions that a Faithful person may Receive whilst undergoing Physical Trials ?
Sincerely
Synthia 1, Empress of Kaztropol.
Visions and prophesy are indeed gifts known to be granted by God to the faithful. However, one must humbly seek guidance when receiving such a vision...
Cults like the Sani-Sabik are the result of not responding to visions with wisdom and humility. It is for this reason that the Theology Council exists.
Were I ever so gifted.. it would be first to them I would turn. |
