    December 29, 2024 at 8:15 pm in reply to: Edit User Roles (Youth/Citizen not able to message)

    The issue was with the BuddyBoss plugin “Youth” profile type settings for Messages. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5QkCyMNPtQ

    Found in BuddyBoss > Settings > Messages. Youth must be given explicit permission to Message and, in this case, must be given specific permission to message certain profile types.

    While we want some controls on messaging because they represent unmonitored communication between users, we also want this feature for some youth interactions. In many cases, other messaging apps prohibit use until a certain age, and therefore users are receiving not training in the use of the technology before they enter unprotected use with the general public.

    In the future, we could use a faculty category to allow Youth-Adult messages to approved adults.

    Afterward, this same member (who needs to create an account with a username so I can quite referring to him as “member”) and I had a great conversation about vulnerability from strength in creating [1] Mercy Space. We talked about how bullies can’t respect anyone because they can’t be vulnerable since they are insecure — their trauma had made them unable to do anything but assert themselves in the most crude, violent, and coercive ways. Another person — properly secure, may actually be more physically powerful than the bully — but is able to show respect to even the weakest nerd because they have the confidence to be vulnerable.

    We talked about how [1] Mercy Space is also applicable to the sales process. When we make room through secure vulnerability-from-strength, we have power to actually hear clients and they can tell we’re most interested in hearing and helping them with their interests regardless of sales. This is especially important if we are selling trust or service as a premium over cheaper products that are not as good for customers or the world.

    One of our members requested a poster-sized version of the [4] Human Growth quad. Here’s a link to a PDF version that you can print at Staples or similar office store on 24×36″ architectural print paper: https://unusualkingdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/4-human_growth_poster_plusquads-3.0.20231222.pdf

    Awesome! Let’s touch base on this soon as it starts taking shape. By the way, if we type the name of any frame we use, like [3] The Four Soils, the website automatically will recognize it and link it to the page in the CODEX wiki. So you could also mention [3] The Four Soils for Organizations and [3] Tricotomy, [3] Functional MBS Tricotomy, or [3] Tabernacle Tricotomy.

    The naming of “frames” is the number of the shape in square brackets “[ ]” followed by the name capitalized.

    A little off topic, but it’s a handy way of linking up content your referencing. In the future as you create “frames” — or re-usable structural ideas you’d like to use again and again — you can add them as articles to the CODEX and they will automatically link where-ever anyone types the name in caps.

    February 8, 2023 at 11:44 am in reply to: FEAR GOD!

    One of the clearest passages of how the Fear of the Lord relates to Jesus and his Kingdom can be found in The Seven Spirits of Isaiah 11:

    A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse,
    and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
    2 Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him:
    the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the spirit of counsel and might,
    the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
    3 His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh.
    He will not judge by the sight of his eyes,
    neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
    4 but he will judge the poor with righteousness,
    and decide with equity for the humble of the earth.
    He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
    and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
    5 Righteousness will be the belt of his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt of his waist.
    6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
    and the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
    the calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child will lead them.
    7 The cow and the bear will graze.
    Their young ones will lie down together.
    The lion will eat straw like the ox.
    8 The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole,
    and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
    9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain;
    for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh,
    as the waters cover the sea.

    Most readers agree that this speaks of a Messiah who will deliver and reunite Israel; a branch from the stump of Jesse (King David’s father). For Christians this is fulfilled in Jesus, David’s descendant.

    The “Spirit of the Fear of the Lord” (ruah yirat Adonai) — or what one might more accurately translate as “Spirit of Awe of the Lord” is the final “receptor” in this seven-fold spiritual system: it completely manifests the end product of the other six spirits. In other words, the movement/energy begins with “The Spirit of Yahweh” or “complete/eternal being” and moves through wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and knowledge till it completely manifests in the fear of the Lord.

    It’s clear from the text that the entire seven-fold spirit is about inner perception with the fear of the Lord as the focus of this perception towards comprehending the world and action: “His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears, but he will judge the poor with righteousness…

    In other words, whatever your inner life with God, the fear of the Lord (and delighting in it) is how it gets translated righteously to your outer life. The Awe of the Lord is a filter through which one may disregard the external stimulation and see the deeper and more fundamental truth that transitions one for reacting to righteous acting.

    Side Note: We’ve been working on [7] The Seven Spirits as a SOF frame and using it as the basis for [7] The Seven Questions and Project-based Learning. The idea is to create models of educating and growing for all ages that would nurture a healthy awe.

    I can’t reproduce on iPhone 7/13.5.1/DuckDuckGo. @JoanofTheArc reports the issue resolved when the page was reduced to 75%. Seems to be a reader setting particular to browser.

    April 25, 2022 at 5:10 pm in reply to: ISSUE: Photo display on activity feed not working.

    Apparently, it issue is that our shared hosting setup has a problem creating or resolving the symbolic links that Buddyboss is generating. I contacted BuddyBoss support and they informed me that their is a setting in BuddyBoss > Settings > Media that turns off the symbolic links feature.

    Also, they recommended I look at their “Media Permissions” component that adds a custom .htaccess to all media folders to prevent direct access. Hopefully, I’ll implement this soon.

    April 14, 2022 at 2:42 pm in reply to: Creating A STF Resource Pack

    Good job working on this @etcetera and @BlackoutKnight. We now have a test pack up and running on the server. All users should get a prompt when joining the server to download the custom pack. Here’s some additional things we could do:

    1. Test on bedrock to see if resource pack works.

    2. Continue to create skins to add to the pack.

    3. Figure out how to add custom language files to the pack to actually rename items.

    You’re moving into the second part of step 2 in the process: “do a search on the internet to see if anyone else has asked the question before”. The best way to keep track of this is to write a quick summary of any source you think is authoritative or particularly helpful/insightful. A summary should include:

    • Author and Title of source with link.
    • What they said.
    • What it means for the overall question.
    • Why you think this is right/helpful/insightful (could include information on what type of authority they are).

    While I totally agree to this as a prophetic statement to our times where we think knowing something is the same as living something (it’s not), I would like to suggest a progression of knowing Jesus that looks like:

    Jesus is a story to be told (Belong / Lordship / Seeker)

    Jesus is a lesson to be learned (Become / Likeness / Servant)

    Jesus is a life to be lived (Believe / Life-on-life / Heir)

    I think you’re totally right that the last is the core of real Jesus-following. And the fear of the Lord relates to the PRIME that carries a person through the three phases.

    One of the most common descriptors of those who were most ready for the Kingdom in the book of Acts was “God-fearing” — the movement spread quickly among “God fearing Jews” and “God fearing Gentiles”. So in my mind, when we encounter people who — because of the pandemic or life situations or the signs of the times — are seeking something deeper spiritually and it comes with a tinge of awe or smallness or danger, then we are encountering a God-fearer who has entered the path called “the beginning of wisdom”.

    February 4, 2023 at 4:17 am in reply to: Scriptural Support for The Left Hand of the Evangelist

    This makes me think about some of the “unconventional” things were piloting in AV. This makes an effective and attentive partnership with the prophetic gift especially important. Otherwise, the evangelist could innovate too far outside the Lord’s vision for the people’s fitness.

    I think about this sometimes. Take for instance our radical openness in our meetings. We’re so open now so people can have their story and discover their path. But this could feed into an distorted Western individualism that is far from a healthy individuality. There’s also mutual submission and sacrifice necessary to be community, pursue common mission, and actually build a different reality.

    Please post your conclusions about the symbolism of the two olive trees. In our conversation, you were saying the Judges 9:7-15 passage gives some insight (talking about olive trees symbolizing the highest level-leader/king), but that Zech 4 and Rev 11 are probably talking about the same two symbolic figures.
