"We, as humans, have two duties with regard to Universal Love. The first is to love ourselves so that we can love others. The other is to cultivate tolerance, for although it may not be possible to love everyone; it is imperative to hate no one." Christian Bernard

"There are many names for the source of knowledge—the Absolute, the Cosmic, God, the Divine Spirit, the Transcendent —yet the concept is one; it is the Universal Manifestation, the Spiritual Essence, that pervades all things. And, it is this entity, this Universal Oneness, that the mystic seeks to know." Rosicrucian Manuscript

"Cosmic meditation is not an escape but a recourse to a fountain of wisdom. It results in a spiritual influx, the results of which the objective mind can translate into procedures, into useful ways of living. What the mystic receives through such meditation must be passed on to humanity. This is accomplished by transmuting such experiences into material realities, objective knowledge, in which others may indulge. Such revelations are not the mystic's sole possession, to be filed away as a mere part of a collection of ecstatic experiences. They must be used to help others in their professional and social worlds. In this way do we transmit to humanity what we have received." Ralph M. Lewis

Testing connecting the worst imaginable wireless aftermarket controller to the #Xbox bouncing it via #Android. I’m testing to see if this is viable given Microsoft is banning unlicensed wireless controllers, but there’s perceptible lag (the controller is a pile of poo! That’s also a problem). I could tinker with the router to prioritise traffic to and from the Android phone in question, if I recall right I deprioritised everyone’s phones. #gaming
