Understanding

For skillful and godly wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Discretion will watch over you, Understanding and discernment will guard you to keep you from the way of evil and the evil man, from the man who speaks perverse things, from those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who find joy in doing evil and delight in the perversity of evil.

whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways, to keep you from the immoral woman, from the seductress with her flattering words, who leaves the companion or husband of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.

For her house leads down to death and her paths lead to the dead.

Mm-hmm.

Why did he decide to include that? My understanding, and I haven't looked this up in a very long time, is that Syrian rue contains...

could be multiple beta carbolines like harmine, harmaline-

Peganum harmala.

I mean, I'd be curious if this matches your experience because I do have some experience with psilocybin plus Syrian rue.

Also, just a footnote for folks on the lemon.

So my understanding, I'm not a biochemist, but if you marinate the psilocybe mushroom, especially if it's ground up, say a coffee grinder, in lemon, that it basically pre-metabolizes it, breaks it down, or converts it into psilocin, and your body is converting psilocybin into psilocin as the active metabolite to begin with.

And in doing so, like for me, it would typically take, in some cases, de- it really depends on a lot of factors, when did I last eat, et cetera, et cetera, but 45 minutes to an hour maybe for effects to really set in with eating mushrooms.

infrastructure must serve the student differently than higher ed's been used to when you start to think about working students working to take care of parents how do we make sure we're flexible enough to fit in their day right right

i mean it is the universal truth right the Understanding who our students are, they are not the 17 to 21-year-old, two parents living suburbia, white picket fences.

And when they run out of money, they call home to mommy and daddy to fill their bank account.

That's not our students.

So.

Understand.

Mm.

Makes so much sense.

The vertebrae to your whole body of seeking ilm.

Hift, Qira'ah, Fahm.

Tears have come in first.

Not understanding, just you having the knowledge by heart.

Ya'jazu an-Hifzi Matnin fiyastaslimu wa ya'yas.

Aw ya'jazu an-Ikmali qiraati kitabin fiyadwaf.

Aw ya'jazu an-Fahmi jarsin kana yahduruhu fiyazifu anhu wa yaqfulu anhu.

Wa la shakka anna hadha mimma la yambaghi ayyakuna fi talibi al-ilm.

One is if you're deciding to leave, how do you end? And the final chapter of the book is what happens if you decide to stay and change.

And basically what I've seen in so many different groups is there's two parts of the end of when you've had a fight, when something has been revealed.

It's not a misunderstanding.

There was bad shit going on or, you know, whatever, like this, the way we are doing this no longer works.

We need to change, right? And people are willing to stay and change.

And four, fight for understanding not to win.

One of the biggest pitfalls for couples is communication, right? This looks very different depending on who you are and how you come together.

Understanding that two different people are coming together with two different things that still are, you know, you're working through.

And if you come with the intent of winning or being right, then you put the wrong priority in place.

So fight for understanding, not the win.
