The View: Understanding the True Nature of Reality Through Jesus' Teachings

Embracing a Life Aligned with God’s Truth In Christianity, the importance of having a correct view—an understanding of the true nature of reality as revealed through Jesus’ teachings—cannot be overstated. A correct view shapes our beliefs, guides our actions, and determines the fruits we produce in our lives. Jesus emphasizes the necessity of seeing and understanding the world through the lens…

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)

Minthara may have an 8 int stat and doesn't always consider the consequences for her actions. But you know what she does have? She's got that 15 charisma stat and that paladin rizz. But she doesn't use that rizz to flirt you up. Nah, she uses that paladin rizz to convince you to commit reprehensible moral atrocities.

Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong. We all raid that grove with no hesitation and claim the Absolute all because babygurl asked. She doesn't need to flirt with you. She knows she's got you wrapped around her finger. All she's gotta do is point and we go running to make her happy.

Happy 1st Anniversary, I Feel You Linger In The Air! (August 18th, 2023 - November 3rd, 2023)

“I am heading towards the end of my life. Throughout the course of my life, I have learnt that the current of time always runs forward without any retreat. With the matter of time, I might already be your past, but, for me, you are my future. I'm still looking forward to seeing you at the same place, and I hope that someday we will get back and spend our lives together.”

Obi-Wan Headcanons Pt. 1

Feels a surge of pride when he says something he privately thinks is clever that earns a cacophony of laughter from his men. He has to remind himself not to let that pride go too far to his head, but he can't help the slight broadening of his shoulders at the rare sound. He thinks the clones deserve to laugh more often, and he's more than delighted to be the cause of it, especially during such bleak times. When he hears one of the men repeat a line he'd once said or speak with a slight lilt that reminds him of his own, he wonders if fatherhood has similar moments of overwhelming pride.

Mentioned slightly in a prev post: His Padawan braid is something he keeps in his chambers on Coruscant. It's stowed away in a lockbox in his wardrobe, underneath many robes and tunics. He doesn't know why he keeps it - is aware it resembles some form of attachment. He doesn't do much with it except glance at the box it's in when his thoughts are especially unsettled. It reminds him of his master and the past... It reminds him he was chosen – trusted. As he watches Anakin's grow with time, he's caught off guard by the envy threatening to leak into his heart each time it whips over his Padawan's shoulder. When this feeling does arise, he meditates for a lengthy time, releasing anger and want for the past and replacing it with patience. Just because his master had been stolen from him does not mean Anakin is any less worthy of one. Anakin is not at fault for what happened, and resentment only leads to the dark side.

He indeed thinks about taking on another Padawan after Anakin has flown the nest, and he wonders what it would be like. Traditionally, the master chooses their apprentice, but this hadn't been the case for Anakin and himself, and it makes him wonder how he should know who to take under his wing. Qui-Gon hadn't quite gotten to that bit.. He feels unsure about his teachings at times, but watching Anakin with Ahsoka reassures him that he did well, which he hopes has made his master proud from whichever plane he resides on. He does know he feels Cody's presence strongly in the Force, and the signature he produces has become like a safety blanket for the Jedi; he likes to daydream about passing his knowledge down to the Clone, even if he wouldn't be able to utilize the teachings in the same way those with naturally high levels of midi-chlorians might... It's certainly a very non-traditional Padawan, though that's nothing new to him. He wonders - secretly, guiltily - if Qui-Gon could lend him some eloquence in persuading the Council to let him take on another unorthodox student. He's aware it will never happen. The attachment is unhealthy to say the least, which is the first of many problems the Council would list off for him if he were to ever bring it up.

After Satine's death, Obi-Wan is noticeably shaken. He does well at masking how he's truly feeling until he has a quiet moment alone in the fresher or his bed chamber, but Cody has become quite the expert at reading between the lines on the Jedi's face - which has hollowed considerably since he'd first met the general. Cody barks - yes. - at his men to stay alert and to comm him only if there is a Grievous-level emergency. As he walks through the echoey hallways of The Negotiator towards the general's quarters, his bootsteps and his heart clang loud in his ears. Once there, the doors do not swoosh open like they usually would upon his approach; he's no Jedi, but he's sure he can sense a heavy cloud of energy emanating from the room before him. A brother or two pass by in absolute silence, afraid of catching a stray from their commander, whose stress seems inextricably linked to their jetti's. Once they round the corner, Cody enters the code that ultimately leads him to quite possibly his worst fear come to life: Obi-Wan that isn't Obi-Wan. Except it undeniably is him. The typical rosiness in his cheeks has crept up to his lower lashes, and his breathing is rough and heavy. Cody's bucket is off in an instant, and he's crossing the span of the room to kneel before Obi-Wan's supine body. Cody doesn't know what happened exactly, but he can see that something is upsetting the general, and he loyally stays at his side the entire night. Eventually, once he's convinced himself he isn't a piece of human waste (and Obi-Wan asks him too), he climbs up next to the other man in the small bed and wraps both arms around him. Obi-Wan asks him repeatedly to hold him tighter, and Cody does his worst. (+ He wakes up in the middle of the night and Obi-Wan has maneuvered himself nearly completely underneath the commander. It's grounding to have Cody's weight surround him after yet another piece of his heart has been plucked out. He needs to be reassured he's not alone, despite knowing the Council would look down on him for the entire predicament.)

is 100% aware of Cody's feelings before Cody even figures out what the names of These Feelings are. And he adores, adores when the rest of the Clones hint at the fact they also see it, and Cody- Obi-Wan loves watching the copper tone of his skin stain slightly red when he realizes what his brothers are insinuating, and so openly! (The color is like the Jedi's favorite Nubian wine, which is an entirely different beast to tackle; he thinks sharing a bottle with Cody would only be right, especially considering he associates them so closely with one another now.) The point is, he thinks it's very sweet the way Cody works extra hard not to let his personal feelings sabotage the greater mission; it certainly helps Obi-Wan not feel guilty when he does the same. The Force communicates the unrest Cody's mind goes through at night, gives Obi a sense of where the commander's mind and heart are. He's flattered - hasn't thought of himself as physically appealing since that first year of the War, or maybe since that damned braid was shorn from his scalp - and smitten. He gets a warm feeling in the pit of his stomach when the Force bombards him with compliments and praise that go unspoken but not unfelt by Cody.

I will forever headcanon that Galadriel's sweet voice at the series introduction of TROP is her narrating to little Celebrian the story of her life. Maybe she came home one day crying from being teased about a rumor the other elf children had heard. Her mother sat her in her lap and explained that she was also teased for being different. Perhaps Celebrian confesses that sometimes she feels a great darkness pulling at her soul. Then, Galadriel starts the long tale with "Nothing is evil in the beginning..."

Okay but

When the Mata Nui matoran returned to metru nui

Did any of them actually listen to Dume? Or did they just treat him like an old man yelling at clouds and just go ask their real turaga instead.

Would I be happy long term with a boy who isn't as interested in theology as I am? Another question to ponder

Imagine being the most famous detective on Coruscant

You are the greatest detective on Coruscant and this is your life.

Warnings: Fox being annoyed with you, him kinda describing you as a snobbish asshole, some mentions of violence, assassination attempts, suiciders, reader using blackmail, and Palpatine being a warning himself.

--------------------------------------

- After a life-threatening incident, you dropped out of the Jedi Order and decided to use your intellect and skills to become one of the most famous detectives the galaxy had ever seen. 

- You were a private investigator since you had problems following regulations and rules the ordinary police force uses, but due to your success rate and ability to uncover truths and bring criminals to justice. The Republic decided to create a contract with you and have you work with the Coruscant Guard, which meant working closely with the clones, especially with the famous commander Fox. 

- They first had doubts about you, especially when you were a dropout from the Jedi Order and suddenly became a big-shot criminal investigator. However, after solving a case or two, you proved your efficiency and worth of the reputation. 

- They started calling you in whenever they needed help solving a difficult case. Your intelligence and deduction skills were unlike anyone had ever seen, and your focus on noticing the smallest details made you a valuable asset despite your personality. 

- Commander Fox disliked you when you first met. To him, you were arrogant, childish, and disrespectful when it came to rules and social hierarchy. You loved testing his patience when you first met him, so he forced himself to tolerate you when solving a case. However, his opinion of you changed when you selflessly saved his brothers from harm during violent cases and he saw you show unimaginable kindness to the people of Coruscant. 

- Despite your disregard for rules and democracy, you were kind toward the poor and unfortunate. 

- You helped out those who struggled to make a life for themselves. You would be there to talk down those who considered suicide or crime, aiding them on a better path. You would be there to help the sick with mundane things or even help a child retrieve her toy or pet from a high place. 

- You would aid them financially with the salary the Republic would pay for your service and check on them whenever you had the chance. This made you well-liked among the people and some provided you with important intel when solving a crime. 

- This allowed you to be seen in a positive light and sometimes you took in cases free of charge. You even solved unrest through patience and talking, which Fox thought wasn’t possible since you had a love for insulting and getting a reaction out of someone. 

- Some people would describe you as the Jedi that should have been as you were more successful at keeping peace than the actual Jedi. 

- This would allow Fox to see you in a different light, and accept your nature toward the social hierarchy. Your sense of justice and finding the real truth would make him respect you and he would give up his views on you, even if you still teased and tested his patience. 

- You had no problem with him and his brothers being clones, you treated them like any other people on Coruscant. You were good friends with most of them like Thorn, Thire, and Stone. You also never hesitated to defend them from harm, letting Fox relax on your supposed arrogance even if you still boasted about your incredible intelligence.

- An unusual friendship would be born between you as you started working together more. Fox would watch out for your safety while solving violent cases and start counting more on your deduction as you uncover the truth. He would never admit it, but he would learn to be more patient and aware of suspicious details while working with you.

- You were one of the most talented detectives, but working with you would also prove to be one of his biggest headaches. You liked taking risks when exposing criminals and were incredibly reckless with your well-being. And unfortunately, you were good at causing havoc as bringing criminals to justice. 

- If you were bored, you would commit pranks that could be the biggest inconvenience or cause chaos. You would even use your force abilities to entertain his brothers or mess with the other citizens if they crossed you. Your sense of humor was also morbid as hell. 

- You were one of the reasons he got grey hairs. 

- However, despite your impulses for chaos, you were a trusted ally of CG. You never intentionally brought them to harm and sometimes you would assist shinies learning a trick or two when living on Coruscant. 

- You grew to trust each other and Fox never hesitated to come to your aid whenever your life was in danger. This caused some of his brothers to tease him for it. You returned that trust, backing him up whenever he needed it and not always testing his sanity. 

- You two worked well together, even though he wished you would stop endangering your life. 

- You lived in one of the upper levels of the city. You liked living in a cheap place and having easy access to the other levels. Outside your apartment was a tree you and your neighbors liked to spend time under. You sometimes meditate under it to connect clues and gain insights within your mind. It was a mental space that allowed you to focus.

- You never abused your force abilities but used them when necessary. You often relied on it to sense evil intentions before they were committed and used it to protect Fox and the others from harm. You might have left the Jedi Order, but it didn’t mean you would not use the abilities you were born with. 

- The Jedi Order would sometimes hire you to help with missions that required your skills and intelligence. You liked making your prices for them high and testing their patience which gives you an unfavored reputation among them. Regardless, you finish their missions effortlessly.

- These cases would allow you to have a lot of acquaintances in the Jedi Order and the GAR. You have no problem with them as you were the most effective detective. You would become familiar with most of the clones and Jedis who would sometimes personally seek you out to help with something. 

- Many people would come to you to help them in revealing the truth. You were excellent at discovering truths and lies, thus you would not hesitate to aid and defend them if they were being accused of something.  You would even put them in hiding if necessary. 

- You were not a big fan of the Senate but did not refuse service when some cases involved them or the senators needed your expertise. You became fond of senators like Amidala, Organa, and Chuchi, and would help them when they had interesting cases for you to solve. 

- This would cause less nice-willed senators to target you. You were not bothered even when they sent bounty hunters after you. It allowed you to gather dirt on them and expose them for corruption. This would be the most stressful time for Fox as he would be the one protecting you from these assassination attempts. You make it up to him by using the evidence you gathered to either blackmail or expose these senators. You enjoyed exposing them for their crimes, but sometimes you would use blackmail to make them act nice. You valued justice, but you were not fully above it. 

- Your reputation and skills would gain the attention of the supreme chancellor. You did not think of him much but knew he sometimes gave Fox and other CG a hard time. It was the only thing that made you not a fan of him. 

- However, throughout the war, you would start noticing strange patterns and details that pointed toward him. You would begin to suspect him and through the force, you would gain insights that involved him. 

- You first couldn't make anything out of them. However, you had a scent that something foul was happening behind the scenes.  

- You would be there to prove Ahsoka’s innocence when she was accused of murder and bombing and start investigating when the clone trooper Fives came to you and shared about the inhibitor chips. You will save Fives from his fate and begin investigating the inhibitor chips and Palpatine’s involvement with the Clone Wars. 

- Fox would be suspicious of this investigation when you asked him to join in, but when you get targetted by bounty hunters and bombers. He would become suspicious of Palpatine and aid you with the investigation. 

- It would then be a matter of time and fate as you unravel the mystery behind these chips. However, you were confident as you were the best detective after all
