This is the initial reading list that your learning has led me so you know how little I know.

Individuals have often used various methods to express who they are and what they represent. Throughout time techniques may have changed but the essential ideas and goals remain the same: how am I able to show the world who I am and what I believe? This study placed that question in the context of the digital world and culture which has been created by all those who choose to partake within it. Centrally, an exploration has been undertaken into how individuals are able to build and engage with a personal identity which is created in a digital context. The study was conducted with recently graduated secondary school students in Australia who use technology for study as well as enjoyment. While a digital representation has both positive and negative consequences for a real-life setting, the techniques and features of what has become a digital literacy have allowed individuals to better define the world they live in, as well as how they want to be represented in that world. As a result of this investigation, participants were able to effectively reflect upon their experiences online and had begun to see the differences between the social and academic context in a real-life setting and a digital one. Further inquiry into this area may allow fellow researchers to better understand what makes the digital world an interesting and vital part of the modern context for the youth generation.

Here's one out of many; most Netizens don't even know the power of the Twitter's Hashtag feature; especially for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Digital Identity Uniqueness (DIU).
And most importantly, trailBlazing a Twitter Hashtag is like buying a new domain name without paying money for it...

Written by Jawolusi Oluwaseun

I do not know the power of the twitter Hashtag feature. I will go and read up on key words.

Thanks for teaching me.

Hahahhaha,
What else do you want me to say..

A human that does not have instinct?

Has to be an android...

Please read the below very slowly and let us start again please.

sonmvayina:
If your institution tells you not to..

Then don't...

sonmvayina:
Sorry I forgot..

You are an android...

Ok...no problemo

You sure love making up stuff to believe, and you just want to be antagonistic for want of better things to do.

sonmvayina:
If your institution tells you not to..

Then don't...

Motivation, I said. I don't have an institution that tells me anything.

sonmvayina:
I know that place..

Never knew it was for them..

Bring us feed back..

It will take some motivation to go but I will try.

This is secondary schools data, not primary school

I'm talking secondary school, and not primary school.

Shaming a virgin for being vocal about her sexual status is bottom barrel.

A virgin who needs to be vocal about her sexual status is inviting pigs who can't get into her knickers.

Basically, she's engaging at the bottom of the barrel, and should consider her status.

And you live good story!

I can't believe that piece of shǐt would hide behind a new moniker to engage me in its stupidity!

Then again, I expect no less from that piece of shìt.

Runnerzz:
A lot of what u say is true but never forget that this is Africa. Our nature, existence and culture are deeply rooted in core traditions that makes us unique and spirituality is a large part of it. Its real and exists although that should not be an excuse for any laziness but these things happen in Africa everyday. This isn't the West. This is Africa

That makes us ignorantly believe crap, you mean, instead of using our senses to study our surroundings and "nature, existence and culture that is deeply rooted in our traditions that makes us unique and spiritual", and learning from them and evolving.

Yet, I do have immense hope in us because more and more are using their senses to study so they may know instead of stupidly ignorantly believing crap.

Joeev:
Pls bro where did you take her to? I have something closely similar and mine is urgent... Please bro?

Your own is urgent but you waited for your bro, lol.

Confession!

budaatum is a hypocrite!

Or shall we say, has very too much vast experiences.

7045 teachers are apparently in my Osun State, yet visit my own Ifon Osun and na soso Corpers who think screwing 14 year olds is fringe benefits is what you'd find in most schools apart from a headteacher and a couple of teachers. And the students are dumb as fuq I found, needing to teach a b d to a jss1 pupils. ABC, we got to in the end, but to think I thought to teach them to read when I met them. Even gave them books, lol. And yes. Some sold them.

On reflection, I expect any one who reads the hope I have for my country Nigeria to shoot me. Yet, my faith in our potential is out of this universe and into the next galaxy twice over.

P.s. For those who might not be aware, this visit was necessitated by some in this thread who seem to think knowing or posting about a thing makes one a member of the society that thing relates to.

For such people, buda is a Muslim because buda quotes the Qur'an, and buda is a Christian because buda quotes the Bible. Funny though that not many claim buda is a Buddhist though buda quotes buddha. Lol.

In Fela's voice.
"Nah different different fever nah in dey"...

A true prophet of our time...

If freeze were asking me to learn from Fela I truly wouldn't object. Olumba Olumba though? Yikes. For he might as well be selling me Jesu of Oyingbo.

I am thinking of visiting to see what they do since they have a "cathedral" not too far away. Maybe I'd see the dead undead Olumba Olumba.

I must say that travelling through London was insightful. I just couldn't not be amazed at the number of homeless I saw sleeping in Oxford Street. And most were foreigners.

Now, that was a trip! Thankfully, it helped me get in my 5k steps for the day.

First, I'm changing the title of the thread to a trip to the Rosicrucian Order. It was in the Theosophical Society building, but the RO just rent the premises for today's event. The next one would be at the Quakers in Saint Martin's Lane somewhere, as the Theosophical Society is selling the building. Not enough patrons, I joked.

12 people attended today's event. 8 were women and 5 of us were black. There were 2 Asians there too. We were basically introduced to the 9 grades plus one initial introductory grade making 10. Each grade takes about a year, so 10 years of study in all, though I wouldn't be surprised to find the grades extend far beyond the 1+9 we were introduced to. Some, we were told, had been attending lessons for 40 years!

Cost is £77 a quarter, which works out at 25 and a bit a month, for which you'd get reading matter each week with stuff to learn and practise. A lot of it is what I'd call know thyself and the world you live in, though I'd claim a bias, as it could likely mean a lot more or less depending on how one looks and sees. It's more subjective that objective, I'd say, and even the courses are more or less you get what you put into it.

The order of study can be found here:

And what each degree teaches is here.

Would I join? Na, not really, since a lot of it one can learn oneself by reading lots of books on the various subjects. That said, it does provide a more structured reading than the a la carte reading that I would claim to be used to, so those who can't self learn might benefit.

Would I recommend that any one join? I guess that would depend on the individual. But from the syllabus, I'd say a lot of the stuff is worth learning or at least knowing about, so there.

Sadly, it not being a RO building, there wasn't much to take photos of, but I could not resist taking a picture of the Buddha.

Since no one reminded me of this I can say I forgot and cop out. Except that I'm far too curious.

Found out Amorc UK do open days. I'm going to try to go to one.

It's in my diary but I'm relying on you to remind me on the day and not let me cop out please.

I'd need 2 hours to get there. Start time is 7pm.

Since no one reminded me of this I can say I forgot and cop out. Except that I'm far too curious.

Went for new eyes today at cost of almost 500GBp.

Believe me when I say my stupid error hurts and costs.

The main reason men starts having sex with other men in prison is because environment influences sexuality

Really? Probably good then that prison is not zoo or some of you men might be influenced to fuq monkeys!

Freeze007:
To be plain all your monies, assets and possession is not up to 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% what I have....

This is a very bold statement to make considering you know nothing about me.

Have you found a job yet?

Freeze007:
Dear Good-hearted,
I bring to you all Calvary greetings especially as you all prepare for this Yuletide proper...I am down by no job availability, the only success story is that I live close to the farm- my village, .....

This is why I so loved having the Buhari regime. His "fight against corruption" was bound to make him the most probed former Nigerian President.

I just hope his APC would do a good enough job as required and not cover up his deeds, or misdeeds if that's what is found.

Freeze007:
Truely I am broke I will not lie,

So, you admit that your belief in your leader Olumba has not helped you solve your brokenness but you ask me to submit myself to him regardless?

Have you not considered that your belief in your leader Olumba might actually be the cause of your brokenness?

I have found that the root of suffering is wrong thinking.

And this is just the beginning of all the great things you will achieve since nothing can stand in your way.
