“The continual voice which tells you that your best actions are secretly filled with subtle self-regard, and your best prayers still wholly egocentric—must for the most part be simply disregarded—as one disregards the impulse to keep on looking under the bandage to see whether the cut is healing. If you are always fidgeting with the bandage, it never will.
A text you should keep much in mind is I John iii, 20: “If our heart condemns us God is greater than our heart.” I sometimes pray “Lord give me no more and no less self-knowledge than I can at this moment make a good use of.
Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can’t see it. So quietly submit to be painted–i.e. keep on fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station, asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone. You are in the right way. Walk—don’t keep on looking at it.”
—C.S. Lewis in a letter to a man struggling with “excessive selfness” (the man’s own words). Also called “morbid introspection” or perhaps even scrupulosity.
Two men met a resurrected Jesus on a road.

They’re not the only ones.
Luke 24:13-35

Alright guys. I spent the last few days orange pilling folks at a #Bible college in Zambia. We spent two and a half hours tonight going over wallets and custody, and talking about other innovations that leverage Bitcoin including #Nostr, @Wavlake, @primal and more.
I met one girl during the class named Lumba who is a musician. She has her music on Spotify but basically doesn’t make any money at this point. Right after the session ended, she created a Wavlake account, uploaded a song, and is off to the races. Check out her song and give her a warm #satstreaming welcome if you like what you hear!

Join us in #Nashville on July 24-25 for #TGFB24. Tickets available at tgfb.com/store.
The dollar noose that enabled the US to lease and mold the world for 100 years will continue to tighten around its neck.
Our geriatric overlords have just crushed their sixth glasses of Jonestown Kool-Aid, and the room’s starting to spin.
Americans were shocked to see BRICS tossed through the window of their glass house, and Bastiat (to Krugman’s chagrin) will be proven true, and every Keynesian a liar.
