>Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

What are the behaviors and patterns of the world we shouldn't follow after?

It's like Paul isn't preaching church doctrine, but when we read it's like he is telling us that there are forces that are trying and attempting to control how we act about situations.
>>
There are.

The forces that keep you imprisoned in your immanence.

>>1829637
What's that mean
>>
>>1829647
What keeps you tied down and in bondage to the world and things of the world exclusively, without reference to the whole and the miracle of their being a world in the first place
>>
>>1829649
I don't get it

>>1829649
Even if we mention the miracle, it's like people are telling us how to enjoy the miracle and it's aggravating

Babby version: the world does not define you, you define yourself

Patrician: if your sense of self is derived exclusively from contingent externals (appearance, career, bank account, number of friends, sexual history, etc.), you become identified with what is fundamentally not you. you are, first and foremost, a self alone before God/the infinite, not the world's perception of that self.

Only because enjoyment of the world is a slippery slope to becoming merely a host for your desires and habits, and not a self-possessed, authentic being.

If you can enjoy yourself without issue, then there's no problem but the level of work to achieve the necessary self-awareness is no fucking joke
