Moved to #Abuja on the 10th of Jan. 2021 and immediately fell in love with the city. I made amazing friends here, fell in love, lost my love, fell in love again, lost it again, and found it a final time.
Of all the cities around the world that I’ve been privileged to visit, nowhere equally excites me and nurtures me as much as Abuja.
For the purpose of chasing a big goal, I’ve officially left Abuja for a bit. Nairobi will be home for a while. I hope my time in Nairobi is just as beautiful and I hope to learn from our siblings in the East. I hope to thrive here and experience as much as I possibly can in this new city.
To my friends in Abuja, I love y’all and l will miss you so much. But as you know I can’t stay away for too long, so expect to see me pretty soon, and actually, maybe even more often than you saw me prior to this development.
Folks in #Nairobi, I’m excited to meet y’all. I’ve visited Nairobi almost ten times and I absolutely love the people. I’m excited to form new communities in Nairobi, make new friends, and contribute in any way I can to the general community. If you are based in Nairobi and interested in good #whiskey, the #Catholic church, #football (European), discussing political ideology, education and technology, please hit me up. I’d love to connect and we can grab drinks sometime.
All my love,
Michael

Te amo Jesús de Nazareth. Perdón por negarte tanto, por callarte tanto, por hacerme tanto el boludo, por no vivir para vos que sos la Verdad, el Camino y la Vida
Dan Scott in One Tree Hill is my idea of a good villain. No small talk, just pure wickedness and going all out to make sure you take your chances to inflict pain. 😂

St Augustine so truly captures the sorrow of having wasted your prime years on filth and wickedness. I think back on the absolute scum I was and have no pride at all, no “good old days”. It was just constantly soothing a yearning that was for God, with anything but God

Today, after seven years of work, The Law of the Sublime is out in the world.
When I started this book, I had an ambitious plan. I would go down the Amazon, find chimpanzees in the wilds of Africa, and cross the Gobi Desert, then write about those experiences of awe.
Then, on a hot August afternoon in 2018, I had a stroke while driving in Los Angeles. A blood clot cut off oxygen to my brain, and within seconds I lost consciousness. When I woke up in the hospital, I learned how close I had come to the point of no return. My left hand was frozen into a claw, and I could barely feel my left leg, but something strange happened.
On the ambulance ride home, I looked out at the people on the street, and for a moment I felt I could be inside their bodies and hear their thoughts. It was marvelous and weird, and I knew it was time to write this book.
I couldn't type, so I wrote every page by hand, dictated it, printed it out, and edited it all over again. I couldn't take the long hikes that had carried me through my six previous books. Then one afternoon I woke from a nap in my backyard to find a grasshopper inches from my face, and I understood that this small backyard would have to be my Amazon jungle. The lizards, the hummingbirds, the insects became my teachers.
My limits turned out to be a blessing. They forced me to find the Sublime in the simplest things, and that is what this book is about.
Most of us live inside a circle: an everyday consciousness shaped by culture, convention, and, more and more, technology. That circle keeps shrinking, and we grow bored and restless. Just outside it is the Sublime, a realm that is frightening and exciting at once, pulling us out of our comfort zones and opening us to a much wider reality. The book maps 12 points outside that circle, and each one is a different face of the Sublime.
Inside, you'll find stories of near-death encounters, astonishing discoveries, and radical changes of consciousness, along with exercises and meditations so you can feel the Sublime yourself, not just read about it.
The Sublime doesn't require travel or exotic adventures. It only requires a new pair of eyes for the reality all around you.
The Law of the Sublime is available now in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.
Thank you for your support of my work. I hope you enjoy reading this book, and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
With gratitude,
Robert Greene

I taught this a year ago and I was dragged on Twitter of course by People with the Scriptural knowledge of the children's church.
(I will check my IG for the video)
Mary didn't give birth to Christ. Mary gave birth to Jesus of Nazareth.
A child was born, and A SON WAS GIVEN.
Now Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:16 that we no longer regard Jesus in the flesh (which is Jesus of Nazareth) and Philippians 3:3 says we worship in the Spirit ( we worship Christ as the Son of God) and not as the son of Mary.
So saying Mary gave birth to a Child is limited only to Jesus who worked on Earth.
As Christians, we are not like Jesus- like right? We are Christ-like
So Jesus was born but Christ was given to us by God at the Resurrection. That is to say, the relationship Jesus of Nazareth had with Mary ended at the cross!
The resurrected Jesus is who we serve as Christians that is the one who occupied the office of Christ.
IT says a child (Jesus) was born and Christ (Son) was given
The office of The Christ was way before Mary!! John 8:58, John 1 :1, 14
And before you say, Didn't Jesus walk as God on Earth, Yes he did. But in the order of the Father
Jesus didn't operate in the office of Christ until permission was given to Him by the Father.
So Jesus didn't own the office of Christ (the seat beside God) until after resurrection.
So, yes, Mary Birth Jesus of Nazareth, but not Christ.

Been looking for a show that would tug at my heartstrings so I started One Tree Hill. I’ve watched almost 40 45-minute episodes (2 seasons) in 3 days.

Finally, before I log off, when I see Nigerian gender wars, I just laugh.
You think you hate Nigerian women because they’re this and that. Women think Nigerian men are the problem. Meanwhile, na bad governance dey do una.
Everybody is in survival mode. You can barely meet someone your age, fall in love, start from nothing and build a life together anymore. Love is now competing with the cost of survival.
Women are becoming more financially dependent on men because opportunities for financial independence are shrinking. Men are under enormous pressure to provide in an economy where they can barely provide for themselves.
Meanwhile, the elites ’ children are still hitting all their milestones. Falling in love, getting married, buying homes, having children and building their futures.
Their children are living their lives while you’re putting yours on hold.
But instead of questioning the system making life difficult for both of you, you’re busy fighting gender wars.
Na bad governance dey do una, but una dey blame each other.

Cuando ser justo y honrado tenga un precio, páguenlo. Cuando perdonar parezca una derrota, perdonen. Cuando todos les digan que piensen primero en ustedes mismos, no tengan miedo de hacerse los últimos; sean capaces de entregar tiempo, dinero, comodidad y proyectos para servir a los demás. Que quien los mire pueda preguntarse: “¿Por qué vive así? ¿De dónde saca esta libertad? ¿Por qué se aman tanto?”. #ViajeApostólico #Uruguay
