I hope the messages after my metamorphosis have reached you in some way nonetheless. I’ll leave the most important of these and the most relevant to the original interests of this account as the pinned message.
001 is the most important slot; in confic & in life. 🧀 🤢 but true
Confic’s very own (and one and only?) pastor! Many people need to hear this, Christians or not. You don’t need to believe in order to get something very wise from it. But it does make a big difference.
My favorite piece of confic I’ve written is my RPC-001. It is about only being able to know that there is a God. My name is Jesse, which means “God exists”.
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
— Luke 23:40
I used to be trapped in the gravity of my own ego. Every project & plan was all only for myself. Anyone getting in the way of those projects & plans were annoying. I lived for myself. Confic writing was a large way to live for myself.
It is no fun living for yourself.
A polyrhythm of 4/4 over 6/8. Which is correct? It depends on who is counting. It depends on what they believe. And what they believe informs everything else in the song.
This world is a polyrhythm. Just dance to it either way.
What does it mean to “bear the sins” of someone else? It can be seen in how hard it is to turn the other cheek. The one hitting is necessarily in the wrong. It’s our natural instinct to hit back or defend ourselves, esp as the victim. But to not is to bear the sin of the other.
