@Martin saidMy real rating is actually 1900. Yours definitely isn't.
@Ashiitaka
I ask you again
You last moved four and a half years ago - why are you here?
If you want to preach whatever it is you are preaching then follow the experts and do what the Mormons do; knock on a door and have it slammed in your face; it might knock some semblance of sanity into you.
You are not a chess player; you are some deluded religious freak and I c ...[text shortened]... y players here who would like to put you in your place - without your cheating of course.

All the recently psychic people here know that you're a massive cheater and that I'm a genuine player.
I've already showed my real rating in a convincing way.
@Martin saidThe part I really don't understand and it's very simple concept is that if you are not religious why do you read the spirituality forum? Don't come to a religious place and tell people they can't talk about religion. Rather, you stay away.

Do you not understand the concept of a forum? One would think a 1950 player would.
The forums are or were the life of the site.
@Martin saidThere's a massive disconnect between your intellect and your rating that is very suspicious on a purely intellectual level.

I know it might be shocking to some that the Irish guy was locked in a cage. It wasn't because he was Irish, and he wasn't the only one. It's simply because very psychotic people are often violent and he needed to be confined.
It's not a reflection on the innate nature of the Irish. There's nothing innate about the barbarism of Ireland.
Cannabis doesn't make me nearly as psychotic as I or others thought, because most of what I thought was happening when I was "psychotic" had some or even substantial truth to it. But it definitely doesn't agree with me when I smoke too much. A little bit makes me mellow and lot makes me aggressive.
I'm not the only one for whom cannabis beyond a certain point actually brings out anger rather than peace. I've seen in it my family.
It is genuinely a very dangerous substance. I was shocked by the patients at the rehab. Most of them were there for cannabis induced psychosis.
The Irish guy could not be effectively treated at my rehab and was transferred to a notorious psychiatric hospital called Valkenberg within a day or two of meeting him.
I already said as much, but if you as a highly rated chess player (which I am relatively speaking for a non-professional) have to resort to chess rating jibes it means you've got nothing logical to say.
I don't assume that I'm more intelligent than people whose rating is a lot lower than mine.
Rating is not nearly as correlated with intelligence as other things, like being a good debater.
@Paul-Martin saidHaha...
My daughter says Ariel is number 1 not 3
NOBODY beats the Little Mermaid!
Ariel is the maker of the card deck's favourite angel, which is why she's on the cover.
I'm not sure I have a favourite angel, and I definitely don't have a least favourite.
I do seem to have a special connection with the female angels.
Barachiel told me my husband's name some time ago but I found it hard to believe at first. But I was happy.
I did burn her 800 white rose incense sticks, though. 🙃
About a year ago I received a birthday gift, a solid green crystal sphere that was supposedly Emerald. It's actually Verdite, which is a South African crystal. I picked up recently and it just immediately confirmed what Barachiel said about my husband. Such was the feeling it gave me. And it was the crystal ball.
I then had a dream of the crystal ball where the angels said it would become my favourite crystal, even though it isn't emerald.
As a child I would get some of the highest grades in the world for my clarinet playing. I was very good. But then I had to switch to a teacher not of my choosing when I went to high school and I was their first pupil. The teacher was unbeknownst to either me or the school an alcoholic and was very emotionally abusive. I developed PTSD and couldn't play properly anymore.
Two nights ago I was sleeping with the verdite when I had the most beautiful healing dream of asking the music teachers at my school (who thought I was the problem at first because I was the first pupil and then noticed that that teacher destroyed a number of other students), "why can't music be fun, like it used to be?".
I woke up with hot tears and the issue I had with clarinet was gone and I unpacked it and played it without that anxiety for the first time in a long time.
This morning I had a dream with obsidian and malachite where I had a fairly long conversation in fluent Afrikaans, which reminded me that I'm a better speaker than I give myself credit for.
It inspired me to go and study my Afrikaans dictionary and brush up.
I have found that I usually used to be very wary of the obsidian crystal because the unpleasant truths it revealed were sometimes very uncomfortable. But I have come to value that quality. And while it can sometimes make you agitated, it's VERY protective from others' negative thoughts and in general. No matter how dense the negativity is obsidian seems to cut through it. So does black tourmaline.
I found, perversely, that these days obsidian really helps me sleep.
I'm fairly sure that my lung disease and abusive music teacher served a purpose. If not for the abusive teacher I probably would have been a musician, but I needed to study mathematics, economics, history and geography.
Likewise I took a shot at studying actuarial science once, which is one of Allah's least favourite things because of the interest. Almost immediately that year at uni I got very sick. My lungs were worse than ever and I lost almost 10 kgs. My parents then packed up and moved to Australia for some time and I was left to deal with everything alone.
I did fail that year, but it wasn't my fault. I was being steered away from a profession that wasn't meant for me.
There are so many ways that Allah guides us towards things that are meant for us.
For example at primary school in South Africa you have to take three languages: English, Afrikaans, and the local African language (in Cape Town it's isiXhosa). Although I moved from England and had to catch up, by grade 8 I won the subject prize at the end of the year, beating the native speakers. But then there was a change of teacher and the new teacher just couldn't speak the language and didn't want to teach us. Then, somebody complained about the teacher and the teacher latched onto the idea that it was me because I was the best student, and began making my life miserable. So I made the decision to switch to Afrikaans (at high school you pick either Afrikaans or the local African language.).
It was part of Allah's plan because my opinion of Afrikaans was important. When I first chose Xhosa instead of Afrikaans, I had a poor opinion of Afrikaans because of its association with apartheid.
Through studying the language and realising that it was made by slaves, and also from discovering the joy of speaking to Afrikaans speakers in Afrikaans, I realized I liked the language, which was important because otherwise once I became powerful I might have destroyed it, which would have been a tragedy.
To this day I feel psychic attack from that Xhosa teacher, who was an Afrikaans man. It's been 12 years since I left his class.
Some crystal tips:
If you're depressed put kunzite on your forehead for a while. It really works.
I buy small organza bags with which to put crystals in. I have a mix of small and large crystals in my collection, and the small ones are ideal for making bags. I like to put one of every crystal that in some way helps love for my heart chakra, and also one bag for protection from negativity, and one for psychic abilities. Etc.
I was lucky to buy a large piece of Sugilite 20 years ago before it was extremely expensive. I went to the crystal store recently and a piece of Sugilite similar to mine was selling for $1500, which is almost 100 times more than I paid for mine, and it's even more money in South Africa given that money typically goes farther here.
There have been huge mental influences around Allah being an evil God because he thinks that Europe is mostly barbaric or in killing evil people.
The thing is, when it comes to whether is country is barbaric, the general personalities of a country's people also factor in. I don't want to go any further in Europe-bashing, but to Allah Europeans don't have good personalities, whereas Africans do. Modern European culture is actually very generic. There's some nice architecture in Europe but that's about it for most of the countries there.
Yesterday's historical reading was on Somaliland. While in many ways it seems like a terrible country, it has a very rich culture, unlike many European countries.
If wealth were a factor in deciding why a country is good, then e.g. Ireland would be several times better than Japan as a country. But the two couldn't be further apart, even though Ireland is a lot richer than Japan.
Japan is clearly a far superior culture and civilization, as are China and Korea, who are also much poorer than Ireland.
I'm using Ireland because it's Allah's least favourite culture. But you could substitute Ireland with a number of other countries, like Finland, etc.
On crime: wherever there are poor people; there will be crime. Being crime free doesn't make your country superior to a much richer culture that has some poor people.
Most people know that rich people aren't better than poor(er) people, and that in fact often the reverse is true. But when it comes to countries people assume that rich countries are more civilized, when that simply isn't the case.
