Ask Me Anything: Steamboat Edition. was created by steamboat28

Honestly, I just wanted to be one of the cool kids, so I'm throwing up this AMA for anybody at the Temple to get to know me, or my beliefs, or my motivations, or whatever better. As divisive a personality as I can be, I figured this might be a good way for people to understand me a bit better.

Outside of the usual "change the world" type thing you'd answer this question with as a Ms. America contestant, I'd like to go into business for myself and make enough money to live. I'd also like to take pilgrimages.

Who or what do you feel is your greatest influence.

Understanding in the place of indifference
Compassion in the place of cruelty
Action in the place of apathy
Peace in the place of violence
Mercy in the place of vengeance

What is it that makes you believe you are / can be a divisive influence?

Where would you like to take pilgrimages to, and why those places?

The three human beings who have shaped me the most are Fred Rogers (of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood fame), Jim Henson (creator of the Muppets), and Vlad III (y'know, the Impaler.) Rogers taught me to be kind and try my best and always care for others. Henson taught me to always stretch my imagination and creativity. Tepes taught me that sometimes, you really just have to stop being nice to people.

I have a certain personality type that doesn't lend well to certain kinds of social interaction. I'm a know-it-all, a mostly-logical thinker, I believe I'm always right, and I almost never back down from my position without overwhelming evidence. I'm loud, brash, and not always polite. I'm adamant and stubborn and vociferous. Essentially, I'm abrasive.

ReallyRiver wrote: Where would you like to take pilgrimages to, and why those places?

The Abrahamic Holy Land, because I tend to hold an Abrahamic faith.
Stonehenge, because it is an ancient place of power.
Shikoku, to go on the Shikoku Pilgrimage, an 88 temple Buddhist route, for a nice long hike.
Any major Shinto shrine, because I am also an animist
Anywhere in Mongolia especially sacred under the Eternal Blue Sky, because Mongolian shamanism is an interest of mine.

What would be your 'I am Groot'? (basically if you could only use one sentence to converse with, like Groot, what would it be?)

- MBTI Type?
- Same can be said of most flat Earth models. But if the description of what INFP means actually applies to you, it's a moot point. Accuracy, so your chosen personality description goes, is of no consequence to you. If anything neutral or good has to be said about the Myers-Briggs mechanism is that...
- Should Information Be Free?
- In short, my honest answer would have to be, I'm not really sure, I don't really know, and finally, a resounding I don't really care (in the sense that I recognize that my opinion on the subject does not change the existing reality of said subject). However, I do not say this to seem impertinent at...

- For me visualization is easy enough, as imagination and memory working together strongly, but seeing vivid imagery is harder. And opening that door also can bring with it some signal noise from the subconscious image apparatus seemingly. So the areas of Threshold Consciousness seems to be how/where...
- Strenght & Stamina vs Speed & Agility
- I have gone through depression etc over not being able to run fast or play any sport well. An illness kept me from being able to walk at all for a while but I kept persisting with rehabilitation exercises. Now, I choose to focus on my natural talents and as far as physical ability - I do what I...
- Experience of Cosmic Consciousness
- Everything in moderation ;) but I can't endorse the use of such things. I too have heard of people finding a sort of enlightenment from them, but I believe those experiences can be achieved with much meditative practice.

- What does this mean in your life? In what ways are you (we) warriors, artists, and scholars? [/quote] I find that encouraging, as I am a philosopher, painter, writer, musician and martial artist.

- ATTN: COUNCIL; Updated Doctrine Proposal
- It's difficult to explain. It seems to lose some of the essence. I'd like to draw your attention to the second part of my statement. The mystery can be rediscovered with reverance
- The Block
- When masters meet: Joseph Campbell tells a story about Alan Watts. “I recall a wonderful talk I had with Alan Watts, who was a marvelous man. One of my problems was that Jean was always late. [ Wife] I made a appointment to meet her somewhere or another, And there I sit waiting for half an hour.” I...
- Saber training.
- So I have a small list of some YouTube videos I have learnt from myself about Jedi fighting styles from the film's starwars. Though I know you don't have to do any of this for training I have found it to be a way of physical fitness I'd not physical meditation. Whether that be done fast or slow....
