Uncertain Future Looms in Egypt



In the two sides of my Universe, O's are the realm of the defensive and territorial, and the objective and logical deduction.  The X's are the Ego with the desire to "spread out" and "fill up" and Influence - but a warning:  He who is ruled by the Ego is ruled by the Subjective, and the Sins of the Subjective, and all the bad karma those sins entail.  (Selah)


"How do you personally feel about being Physically Fit?"
"Well, if I were an animal living in a kisher slaughter house- - the idea would be decidedly unappealing"


"Me, my brother, and parents were riding in a car in New Mexico at dawn - - "  Ooopse! Chris, you handed me the wrong tape!  Here's the Right one!  "I just remember this time which was obviously the month of June- - and I was in front of this white building with pillars at the front, like the enterance to a giant discount store.  And this was at a time when I never went outside the hospital because the muscles in my legs were so weak due to mal nutrition and alcoholism- - and I was just pacing around and thinking "This is not my life.  What happened to my life?  And I thought "Perhaps this is just a dream".  So I walked over and felt the concrete of the pillars and I said "No, these are real enough.  This is really happening"  But also I don't remember it being any where near my birthday coming up, as it would have been in early June.  I think my birthday was in May.

The future is uncertain in Egypt after the strange reaction of the Egyptian people protesting the fact that Mubarek only gets life in prison and not the death penalty for his crimes.  Also six of his aids were found not guilty by a jury in conspiring to kill protestors during last year’s demonstrations.  The prosecutor will be appealing the entire case, which apparently is required under Egyptian law.  People like Pat Buchannon have long said that perhsps it was a mistake to get rid of Mubarek because this Moslem Brotherhood government they have in there now appears every bit as bad as the old Mubarek regeime, and this current government is not at all friendly tword the US as was the Mubarek government.  Egypt is a big country and a major player in the Arab world and what goes on there holds a lot of sway.  I didn’t know much about the Moslem Brotherhood before.  All the liberals would say about it was that it was one of these “democratic reform groups that wanted a piece of the power in government”.  There were pro American candidates running in this recent election in Egypt but I really wonder whether their votes were counted.  Egypt will be a problem for whoever is President next year.
This guy on KFI before six was talking about thoughts and energy and can mental thoughts control inanimate objects such as computers “randomly generating” numbers.  My answer is a big negatori to that.  Perhaps this KFI host is a little ignorant as to just how computers work.  Because the “algorithms” that generate random number on computer work not by chance but a very exacting and proven formula.  I have any number of programs in BASIC that rely on random number randomizations and guess what?  They run with the same exactitude no matter how many times you run them.  If you want real randomization in a program tell the user to pick the number himself like “pick a number between one and 500”.  I also read in some Time-Life book long ago that things like probabilities perform with amazing exactitude and consistency- - given enough time.  And just how much time and the degree of agrigate anomally to be expected- - is also subject to a mathematical formula.  This is why when the global warming people say the earth is actually getting warmer- - - they sure as hell DO know what they are talking about.  I know that sometimes certain people seem to be able to ‘get appliances to work” when others seem to be jinxes around appliances.  My ex housemate Frank, was a guy whom “The appliances of the house just didn’t like” and any time there was a break-down in some appliance it always seemed to be when Frank was using it.  If this were true that quote – unquote ‘The Mind” was able to control external events it would explain a whole lot of events such as why the tea party was able to “mysteriously” control all the voters in 2010 who put them into power.  It would make our job a whole lot easier because all we would have to do would be was to “think positive thoughts” all day long, and we wouldn’t have to sign petetions, or go to party caucuses or city council meetings or man the phone banks to bring out democratic voters or what have you?   In terms of “losing guardian angels in 1986 I’d had all year since my birthday when I turned 35” - - - perhaps August was a month for that rather than late September as I said in that other piece.  Or perhaps it was a “gradual withdrawal process” like our government from South Viet Nam.  There were four books I bought in the summer of 1986 and they were all a little downer.  They were “The Kennedy Imrisonment”, “The Last Days of Patton” “At Mother’s Request” and then there was “IT”.  Numerically the word IT is a 29 which means “crossing the great water” in China, which would allude to Death.  Perhaps the reason why I was so - - “restless” in mid September of 1986 is because already my mental subcontious was filling up with negativity.  And so in the spirit of “Man in the Mirror” I decided to “Make that Change” and get back into some kind of fellowship group.  So I went to screwy Louie’s Sunday Night Bible study.  The evening did not go at all well and confirmed the validity of a prior very negative encounter I’d had with screwy Louie in February at the Bosc house at what was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day party or something.  This was the evening I think I’ve told you about when me and Frank were outside the class rooms staring off into the dark, and there were these squeeling high pitched sounds.  Frank said they were bats.  I thought they sounded like Swifts, to be more exact.  Oddly, I did go a lot of places with Frank in those days and we had a lot of talks.  However the relationship would deteriate remarkably during the next year as basically every demon in Hell seem to be unleashed in the Bosc House starting about the first of October.  Just to get back to that KFI program - - - the guy is an ignoramus and is as green as a bell pepper on so many areas.  If we are thinking of Good or Bad - - - remember I told you about the theory of the “Super Self” that has Already LIVED the Future, if we could just tap into it.  If you see the future with an ontological existence as sure as our own, you begin to see things a lot differently- - - and some of this mental power hocus pocus stuff goes out the window.
The LA Kings once again beat the NJ Devils in overtime with seven minutes to go scoring an unexpected goal.  They won that game two to one and also lead the series two – zip, and they said it’s the first time the LA Kings have ever won two finals games in a row.  They had local KNBC coverage after the network coverage had ended that lasted for some time.  I hung around outside.  I think I re-heated the coffee grounds.  Two crapped out and Four wasn’t having anything, and eleven had baseball.  Finally at nine CBS got their act together and showed an NCIS episode.  I retired at ten, but Bill had already nodded off before the hour was up.  I slept fairly well with no disturbing dreams or anything.  The Kings victory might be something to blog post about but I imagine so many others have beaten me to it - - it would be redundant.
I woke up around four and my gums on my lower right were sore by that tooth so I got up and brushed my teeth and finally- - opened that ‘new” bottle of Vitamin C and took two.  Then I went back to bed and got up just after five and took a leisurely shower.  I listened to that UFO nut on KFI.  He was like a little kid in expressing his ideas.  All of his ideas, like they “all” are, were half baked and his thoughts were rambling and dis-jointed.  When I first woke up though two things flashed into my memory.  One was the scene when Bithia told Moses that “You didn’t doubt me when you were a toddler taking his first steps, or when you fell down and made a boo-boo and I kissed it and wiped away your tears, or when you went off for your first day of kindergarten” or the Egyptian equivalent.  You realize that is you have a real parent and child relationship it is a precious thing.  The other thing was the line from I Love You Because” by Elvis that goes “I love you because you never doubt me- - every single thing I try to do”.  I thought of doing a thing called “Love is Trust” or “Love means never having to doubt”.  And the one gem from that KFI show is the axiom “Perfect Love casteth out all Fear” and it’s coralary of “Perfect Fear casts out all Love”.  And also the bit about “Toxic Thoughts” I now place more importance than I used to as far as keeping both physical and psychic poisons out of your body.  The line fits from Rubber Soul of “In the beginning I misunderstood- - but now I’ve got it; the Word is Good”.  Then we had Jesus Christ at six on “spiritual fitness”.  Yeah right.  You and that bottle of Insure in the refrigerator, keeping me from enjoy the foods I really like.
After this I had the Today show on.  Then it was KNBC news and I did not leave the room till ten after seven.  But that did not prevent us from having to wait a long time till we were served.  We got corn flakes for breakfast.  It was a protracted wait and it was ten to eight before we were served.  We got scrambled eggs and toast with nothing on it.  The Oriental lady gave me her eggs and also some of her coffee that I shared a bit of with the black John.  I did not get back for “Meet the Press” till the program has been running a few minutes.  It was a discussion on economics.  It silly to put down people for playing “The Blame Game”.  That’s an over-worked phrase.  The point is to find a problem and identify what you need to do, and find out who’s support you have to enlist in getting the job done.  In President Obama’s case he did his job and showed the initiative last September as we talked about.  So it’s obviously this republican congress that is preventing needed measures to be taken.  Therefore they deserve to get the blame.  


More "Hemispheres" meditation

In Chinese as well as Classic Greek Culture - - Fire is seen as feminine
Water, or the Apolonian therefore must be masculine.  In some Federation loore - - Apolonian sometimes symbolizes a round moon, which is a circle.  Fire is seen as a pointed triangle

Earth's symbolic metaphores are reversed in that the triangle is 'Play" but Play mode is seen as the reflective, Apolonian mode and the circle on earth for record - - Record mode is seen as the dynamic or Dionecian mode.  Fire is associated with the East and Water with the West.  Many of these "directional" attributes are based on the bias of southern california geography

Heaven is north and the Earth is South in Reigelian mythology (Portland Reigelian theology)  The Portland Reigelians live in the northern hemisphere where the cooler temperatures are in the north where the weather is generally a lot more pleasent than in the "south".

The Lake is apolonian and the Mountain is dionecian in my reckening.  The Lake is seen as the northeast and the mountain is seen as the southwest.  (Consult Mark Campbells' writings for background here)

Lightning opposes the tree or wood.  Lightning is seen here as the dionecian and the tree is apolonian.  The lightning is associated with the southeast and the tree with the northwest.

Chinese base their tragrams on the position of the Single line within the three line field.  All triagrams with a single solid line are masculine and all with a single broken line are feminine.  These genders get confused a bit in our versions.

No, I am NOT Finished!


"I have talked to you and talked to you till I'm blue in the face  and now I'm Done talking to you"
"Does that mean you're through spitting on me, too?"
"Shut up; I'm not Done Talking to You!"

To put it as tactfully as I know how, Chris Matthew's show was really off his game last night.  Last night Chris Matthews exhibited a singular lack of grace and tact in a lot of areas.  For one thing it's the way he savagely lit into John Edwards.  He said that it was shocking to have such a man be possibly a heart beat away from the Presidency in 2004.  He said John Edwards has never read a book in his life, and that when confronted with not being prepared for a debate- - that Edwards made a remark I'll bet you Edwards never said.  I think I know of Edwards well enough that if he - responded in a hostile manner to a campaign aid, the guy well deserved it.  But I can't prove it.  Next Chris Matthews joined the doom and gloom party as far as the latest economic statistics are concern wallowing around gleefully in the mud with all the other republican economic piggies.  Then there was the bit about gender bias in abortions.  Congress wanted to make abortion for gender selection illegal in the United States as it is in a lot of other words "liberal" civilized countries throughout the rest of the world  Chris Matthews would have none of it.  All he could say was "Well, I think this law is designed to target Chinese women for the culture they were raised up in".  Chris also said something similar to what the marijuana people say about "getting your foot in the door with this law".  I don't buy it in the case of the anti marijuana people and I am not buying it now, either.  And then there was going after President Clinton for things he said.  Hey, fool, Bill Clinton is on OUR side so enough of the circular firing squad.  He said that Clinton was being "soft" on Donald Trump because they were good friends in New York who played golf together.  We need MORE of that and not less of that- - you Fool!  No, I think that Chris must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or perhaps his horoscope today was exceptionally adverse or something.

I dispute the racial birth stastics of the government that claim over fifty percent minority births in the United States.  First of all they should call a "diluted" minority in a mixed marriage as half if we are going to be fair or some are concerned about the "genetic gene pool".  Both Pat Buchannon and Eleanor Clift says "this statistic means the death of the Republican Party, if it doesn't change".  If these statistics hold up it does indeed mean that eighty to ninety percent of the White population would simply have to vote Republican for any Republican to win, and this just is not the case.  No matter how many "college intellectuals" or people who have spent time in "civilized" places like Europe, or the gays or minorities, or feminists, or what have you- - none of this is keeping Mitt Romney from leading President Obama in the latest polls.  Clearly there is "something funny somewhere", but where?

What we need are more seconds, more follow-up.  Gloria has this tape of famous "seconds" to groups normally regarded as one hit wonders.  So this tape has "Never Go Home Any More" by the Shangra-las.  It has "Don't you ever leave me sad and blue" by the Dixie Cups, and a Brooklyn Brodge song I never heard before.  Of course on some of our albums we do seconds, but admittedly not these.  So we have held up as just important the follow up hits such as "Good Guys Don't Wear White" by the Standels, and "I Knew You When" by Billy Joe Royal.  How about thirds?  Do you remember "Tell Me Why" by the Beau Brumbles?  Do you remember "Summer Nights" by Maryanne Faithful?  I think we included that one somewhere.  Back in the late spring of 1981 I re-did the lyrics to a Del Shannon song "Little Country Church" in response to the original "Little Town Flirt".  And today too many people are culturally depraved - - - that's what Tommy Smuthers told me to say.  Personally I think the word is deprived.  For instance there are some songs that if you have not heard certain renditions of a particular song, you simply really have not heard the song.  For instance if your knowledge of "It Ain't Me, Babe" is confined to Bob Dylan, you really haven't heard the song untill you've heard the Turtles version.  Ditto for "Evening of the Day".  You simply have not "heard" this song untill you've heard the version with Maryanne Faithful.  Capish?

Dr. Levy of course exhibits a singular lack of any economic knowledge.  I'm hooked on that word "singular".  I guess I must be "thinking in German" again.  The German word is Einfach.  I could use the word "Peculurely" if that word makes you feel better.  It's funny how he says that "Basically I like rich people".  It's almost Holy Writ to a Tea Bagger to impute moral purity to the very rich.  They almost rewrite the axiom "Wealth is next to Godliness".  (Selah) Levy says, "I have found them to all be great men.  The one exception I would make is Donald Trump".  Now I'm puzzled.  He really loves people like the Koch Brothers, and Grover Norquist, and Rupert Merdoch, and Mitt Romney.  They're all fine.  But he doesn't like Donald Trump.  What are you - jealous of his hair or something?  A lot of people got to know what sort of man Donald Trump pretty well from watching the Apprentice.  He seems to me to be a fair and judicious man.  He's a guy who actually DID something with his money.  He built things.  He's right on getting touch with China.  And he is quite possibly right on the birther issue, too.  At least he hasn't conclusively been proven wrong.  And just between you and me, if it were a race between Trump, Pat Buchannon and Mitt Romney, my roster of choices for President would be as follows- - first Pat Buchannon, then Donald Trump - - - - and twenty lengths back bringing up the rear- - - Mitt Romney.  I think Romney finishes right in front of that pet iguana in that movie in 1964.

And as sure as the final movement of a symphonic movement in Classical music is a really fast one, we have what's becomming a trademark final paragraph on metaphysics.  I'd like to just clarify once more this whole idea that "thought waves" or just "thoughts" or "mental energy" or whatever is NOT transmitted through Ether Waves.  And also may I remind you that Albert Einstein never said that when you approach the speed of Light that "Mass turns into Pure Energy".  This is just another of those roomers that got started- - probably by psychics. You may ask "Well if this is not a light speed phenominon is it a Super light speed phenominnon?  We have spoken psychic transfer as Instantanious.   In other words it's zero space.  At least "distance" as we know it.  Others may well ask then "Are you reviving the tachion or faster than light particle theory?"  Not to employ Ayan Rand or anything but our theory is that if light speed is exceeded it's THAT IMAGE that disappears from this universe in terms of a "measureable entity" and not us.  Since THAT light "no longer exists" in a perverse sense that is light we CANNOT recon in "how fast we are going now".  Hence the idea of some "particle" that is specifically "designed to go faster than light" there is not even any NEED for in my current system.  Capish?  Another question you have is "Well- - how much of what we call Space, if any- - does an Idea or Thought "occupy"?  Another question you may have is "Is your new Space restricted to living things generating Ideas and Thoughts?  The answer to this last one is a big Negatory.  No.  We have always taught as per the Greeks such as Plato that "Ideas are real things - - in some realm".  Sacrates and Plato argue that the reality of an IDEA in fact EXCEEDS that of material things.  I don't know if we need go that far.   We view life from - - inside of - - something - - like our bodies.  I guess you'd have to say, as that Wickipedia article on particles verses strings that - - - whatever the Soul is - - it exists in the Zero dimension.  It's there like a point in an analytitic geometry class.  But it has no material existance.  Capish?   In concave space- - - thoughts and ideas are the coin of the realm, the things of "measurable value".  Mass is not.  One might say that LIFE connects these two realms of space.  But Mass or Substance is but an abstraction in this other world.  They are no doubt aware of it- - by the usual bodily sense organs to a degree - - but to them it's an alien world, much as the Mind is an alien world to us.  It can be argued since Ideas are not occupying space they don't "deal in space" any more than God "deals in Time".  Capish?  I guess it's fair to call it "creative energy" though I prefer the term "creative intelligence" better.  One might define our soul's relation with "The Material World" in the same way God relates to this Universe- - - if you set the whole Time question aside for now.  So I believe that things personally GOT HERE through some Intelligence.  That's only my belief.  We don't know WHERE the soul is but we strongly suspect it exists because we see the effects of it, and we are also sensient beings.  In the same way some of us Suspect- - God exists, but there is no easy way to quantify it.  So in the other world they well ask the opposite question we do.  Not "where is the soul located?" but rather "Where is the Mass or Materiality located?            This time the answer is not Zero but All or "Pan" as they would say in the Greek.  Everything is the substance?  You want to know how this is?  Well, in concave space- - - - were you to try and quantify mass as we know it- - - as we said- - - there would be as it were a Plasma or Vapor - - - {I know - like those old Sci Fi movies) - -  and to them the idea of their being anything more "massive" than the medium of ether- - would be AS HARD to fathom - - as a Camera lens we know is focused Beyond infinity- - - and it's focused om Something but where would that Something BE???  In other words here we appear to achieve the impossible with a formula (ie the camera lens) and the "solution" (or focus) lies outside Known existance.  This example alone invalidates the Ontological argument as one that can be used for the existance of God, who said that if we can Imagine it, then it HAS to exist.  Just read it again if you're confused.  THE BIG QUESTION is just the whole "mechanics" of these two realms interracting at all.  Yet we know they do.  Let's go back to the viewer vs thing analogy or the "inside - outside" view.  With an EYE as viewer something may appear all one color focused at "infinity".  But as a REAL image that can be objectively "seen" and not subjectly "viewed" (catch the nuance there) one derives an image out of singularity by changing his "frame of reference".  Today Dr. Levy talked about "re-framing" arguments.  (Selah)  So it's the nature of the particular space that "frames" our perception.  So is mass an abstractio or "hypothetical plasma filling up all of known creation?  Or is mass fixed and localized?  So how does IT happen?  That is consciousness or "sensience" as Captain Piccard says?  I am unable to answer that question - - yet. But we now do know that to change space is to entirely change perception.  Perhaps a helpful analogy is the roreshock ink blot test where you have to decide whether it's a black image on a white background - - or a white image on a black background - - - Just think about it.

Tax-Mageddon - "Bring It On!"


I was just listening to the Republican response on KNX 1070 and I blurted out a bunch of stuff without thinking and Bill, my roommate readily agreed with me.  This guy was talking about the rise in capital gains tax and the Bush tax cuts expiring and some of these undisclosed "new taxes" because of coming Obama Care.  And he said "All of these taxes will have the effect of bringing our weak economic recovery to a grinding half and throw us back into recession".  So I'm thinking "Well, how many times did President Obama go to congress late last year with this or that jobs stimulus bill and even after breaking down the thing into "bite size portions" the tea party refused to pass ANY of it.  The recovery we've had so far would have been a whole lot more dramatic had the Obama jobs package first broached last September before congress, had been passed.  So I responded "Well, why should the President go out of his way to make President elect Romney look better by doing his job for him and allowing congress to "fix" all the tax laws?  After all "When I needed help they wouldn't lift a finger but now they think I'm not going to play their same game and be obstructionist now.  I have the power to keep this congress from passing anything- - and you think I'm not going to use that power?"  That's how I would reason were I President Obama.  For the millionth time I just might add that if you hike capital gains the very things they fear will NOT happen but the Opposite will.  Rather than Discourage investment and saving, hiking the Capital Gains tax will actually Encourage people into thinking "with the tax situation the way it is now, I better hold on to my money, at least untilll the tea party gets back into power, and then I'll think about withdrawing my Capital from this economy".

Now the blueberry guy is on, with all those other purple berries like black cherry, cranberries and boysenberries and the whole shabang.  Judy was saying that GNLD products are way better than Purity's products because they use higher standards and "blueberries alone" won't do it.  Pete Richards said "Well I have some frozen blueberries in the refrigerator.  Maybe I'd better get them out now".  Of course they say you need "seven to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day".  Blueberry de-tox sounds like a cure all for a whole lot of ailments, but all Purity products sound like cure-alls for whatever ails you.  And they also throw in fiber to clean out the bowels and keep cholesterol from forming in your arteries.  I was saying in the dining room the other day to John Powell that maybe cholesterol is dangerous but now they are saying that ordenary margerine is dangerous because the trans-fats give you "fatty blood".  But fatty blood is not cholesterol if it hasn't hardened into plaque that obstructs blood vessles to the heart and brain.

I think Larry Cramer uses the Nook.  They say you used to have a delema as to whether to use a monochrome screen that is fine reading in the sun on the beach but you can't see in the dark.  Or used an L C D screen that works fine in all indoor environs but is useless in bright sunlight.  Now they have a Nook that is lit up like some of these light up watch dials that only light up when you push a button to save bettery power.  Of course Larry reads a predigious ammount of reading material, more so than he uses computers for anything else.  Of course my Dad said his older brother regularly read two whole novels a week, and he liked to read a lot of mysteries.  This is another fact I learned about my Uncle after he died where I learned a lot of other stuff about him I was completely ignorant of.  That's the way it goes, I guess, when you die.

This paragraph can be called one big mental Suduko game.  First of all the birthday of that "other life" guy in San Barnadino- - must have close to the identical birth day to the year of Bobby Hayden's daughter.  I hadn't thought of that.  You astrologers can do an approximate horoscope now.  Of course after the fact I thought of all the song lyrics you could use to butress the "narriitive".  I'll just give you the album names.  It's up to you to isolate the lyrics.  from BOC we have "Fire of Unknown Oregen" "Revolution by Night" and "Club Ninja".  From Steely Dan we have "Countdown to Exticy and Pretzel Logic" and from the Who we have "Sell-out".  There are possible "Mind Games" allusions.  And of course we have "Led Zeppelin IV".  This is the mystery album that showed up in my parent's record cabinet one day in early 1972 and to this day nobody knows how it got there or who bought it.  But I'd like to talk about who is "Indespensible" as a musician and who is not.  We want you to name the Beatle we said was most important in "Beatling up any song".  And Chris Carter last Sunday said of this Beatle when he was involved on a solo recording by another Beatle, "Now it's a Beatles song".  The song in question is kind of a musical rip off of Claptin's "Bell Bottom Blues" and of solo tracks, released and unreleased over the past forty years, this is the ONLY track I can think of that fills the bill, so maybe you can come up with it.  We said that "In Spite of all the Danger" is NOT really a "Beatle" track because this Beatle I don't think was yet a member of the group when it was recorded.  Perhaps "Danger" would make a good Elvis or Conway Twitty track, but not Beatles.  And don't laugh at Conway Twitty, he's pulled off a couple of fairly good Elvis knock-offs in his time.  We now come to Burt Lombard who was NOT indespensable to David Bowie.  I did not buy my first David Bowie record till January of 1976, which is the month after Howard was killed.  I think there is a connection there because "The song I bought the album for" was played in the radio in the spring of 1974, and in my oppinion makes a number of lyrical allusions to Howard "The gun" Richards.  Bu the way the whole Will Horton thing on "Days" has similaries and also differences with Howard.  For instance I never stabbed Howard in the back or ratted him out or went whimpering to anybody.  Of course I was not subject to the same sort of threats and manipulation that Will Horton was, so I guess the question still remains unanswers as to "What if I had been?"  Also once Howard suggested I carry a revolver and I refused.  He said I would feel safer because of all the danger.  But being a Christian I thought of that Revelation scripture "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword".  So I didn't.  I also liked this song because musically it reminds me of Aqualung - - and rhythmicly it reminds me of the Beatle Anthology version of "I'm Looking Through You".  Now you have those Clues.  Some may say these song lyrics are "far flung and irrational".  Well - - sometimes - - - .   I am tempted to put the epitaf on his grave that Jesse James said in 1881 of Bob Dylan in his incarnation who had just died at the hands of others.  He said 'He was more sinned against than sinner".  I think Elvis Di Mira, with the death of his one time father has now an oppertunity to make a new Life for himself, if he wants it.

Some people agree with you on some things.  Marcia agrees with me on certain things.  By the way I recognized when I talked about the "Marcionite solution" this wasn't a girl's name but a theologian in the 2nd century.  Protestents find Marcion "usefull".  John Knox found him Usefull.  Knox didn't like Irenius because "He had the name Catholic in all of his writings".  John Knox agree that Marcion got a bad rap for "sensoring parts of the Bible that hadn't even been written yet".  Capish?  Many like Marcion because of this very divorce of the moral imperitive from the material world, and as such is useful for refuting people like Tertulian, who connect the two.  Protestents even back then had this idea that "A Mind is something that men should use" and read the Bible trying to figure out what the actual Intent of the particular writer was, and not look just at the words or the theology that has grown up around them.  (like algae)  Thomas Jefferson carried this "higher criticism" so far that he cut out all the passages of the Bible involving Supernatural manifestation.  John Calvin and Luther were both inspired by St Augustine, who was the first to come up with this "Shining City on a Hill" imigry, and for John Calvin that City was Geneva, Switzerland, which he tried to turn into a Eutopia.  Only thing is his Eutopia had burning at the stake for people with whom he disagreed theologically.  I think the early Protestents saw "The Holy Catholic Church" as a "Part of the World" and since the World was evil and going to burn then the Catholic Church would burn, too.  Protestents have always had this romance of being "called out" of the world into the Higher Plane of God's Kingdom.

U S Jobs Picture Called "Bleak"



The national unemployment figures that were reported today are adverse.  Only 69,000 jobs were added last month.  But we are still adding them- - but that won’t matter to Mitt Romney.  The actually rate increased from 8.1% to 8.2%.Bill Clinton spoke in Wisconsin reviewing the basic economic facts of the Obama administration.  We need more cucumber heads like Clinton because he never gets flustered making his points the way the President often does.  The President himself will be in California yet again going once more to that perverbial golden goose, the Hollywood community, as long as they keep laying the golden eggs at his door.  Meanwhile Mitt Romney, I'm sure is delighted with today's unemployment figures.  It's even "rosier" than last months.  Mitt Romney has been in California and last night was raising money in Riverside and tonight will be at a fund raiser in Newport Beach and this weekend he will be fund raising in San Diego.  He can spend time at his grandious house in La Jolla and have great fun giving his car a ride in the elevator in his garage.  People speak of people like Romney as one of those "creepy nerd" kids, who had the most disgusting habbits and repelled people that he met.  And they grow up to be soul-less people like Stephano Di Mira.
This Florida judge ordered George Zimmerman back to jail just today because Zimmerman lied about his means of making bail, so back to jail he goes.  Zimmerman has been given 48 yours.  Trayvon's parents are naturally gratified by the news. This is poetic justice for you.  He’s where he belongs.  The Judge called it a “material falsehood” and his wife lied for him too, because all of these people have been secretly sending him money.  On April 9th before his bail hearing Zimmerman's wife funneled him some two hundred thousand dollars, and apparently there was a secret web site set up to raise money.  And in prison Zimmerman and his wife, Shelly, would use cryptic termanology to talk about it, thinking that the cops were too dumb to figure it out. Also in the same state - - It seems that Florida governor Rick Scott, that real sleazeball, is now in trouble with Attorney General Holden and the Justice department for overt violation of the 1965 voting rights laws.   He has just been purging too many people from the rolls personally when all he said was “that he’s going to investigate the matter to see whether voters need to be purged”.  
  This is just after three on Friday June first.  And of course it's what used to be the official start of Hurricane Season.  In the Federation this is unofficially “Highway 61 day” because it’s a 6/1.  Of course June first is the infamous eleventh anniversary of my collapsing in the street just after nine o clock in the morning on the way to the liquor store.  So It’s kind of an apocraliptic day there. It's kind of a period many place where there is a sort of "changing of the guard" and people can look forward to four months of summer heat. As to that "other life" the "San Barnatino incarnation" we have news about him from a Federation rep.  First of all they are telling me that in late September in my "UFO abduction" I was aboard an Idumian vessle to the planet Real- - - and this particular vessle had changed hands a lot for "interesting" reasons, I'm told.  On Real- - I was informed that I could be guarendeed a stay there is as much as several months.  But it was depentent on the 'luck of the lottery" whether I was involentarily incarnated into a disaster of a life. But from what they said that I was "sensing correctly" that they weren't being entirely honest with me and the adverse incarnation was almost certain.  I had inhereted the guardian angels of that Dead Hollywood Celebrety but was told these would be leaving me if I remained on earth but 'You just did not believe them".  These were Sirius 0 angels that had surrounded this Celebrety's life but obviously were unable to protect him from an Alcyonne curse, that also did in Elvis in the end.  This new life had only bee conceived a couple of weeks before, which would mid September of 1986 meaning this guy has his 25th birthday coming up in mid month this year. The Celebrety was "stripped of his Sirius 0 heritage" much as Jerry Leiber was when he died. He's now and has continually lived on Aldeberan VIII.   Burt Lombard hasn't mentioned him in some months, and the concencus is that Burt regards him as "too paranoid and just plain weirded out to deal with".  There is talk of his trying to socialize more and has gotten some positive response from girls but due to his lack of dating skills he manages to blow it and has too much of that "Bad Ronald" aura.  This guy whose name we believe to be Richard, first hit a "crisis" in his life with some major family conflict in November of 2000 when he was thirteen and in the eighth grade, such that he seriously considered suicide.  He seems to have started attending a lot of State Colleges about including San Diego State College - not the one in La Jolla but the other one, and even lived with other students on campus (which is something I sure never did)  One semester someone recommended Cerritos Collegs to him for some course.  (I have no idea where Cerritos College even is)  Of course it's believed (by me) that he tried to do a "hostile aquisition" of my soul in his life.  It was pointed out by somebody that a famous celebrety died suddenly months before the same time that "Richard" was conceived, and there is talk of some guardian angel transfer from Sirius 0 at least briefly.  In some ways his life was "my life on steroids" in terms of family ties and joining groups to "try and prove to others you really fit in, but don't. But information is still very sparse, but since the initial posting we have gleaned a little more of it.
 Today’s Days of our Lives episode was really strange concluding with the “closing music interlude” of some famous dramatic Italian opera.  All of the major players tried and backed off of shooting Di Mira.  First it was Abe, and then Hope and then John, and then Bo, Will, and Kate Di Mira together.  Kate is pissed off because her divorce petition was denied and Ian seemed to want to make sure she read it. (?)  Then Marlena, dressed in red, showed up.  But she had no intent to kill him but just give him a mocking lecture.  But finally an unidentified gunshot was fired at Stephano as he sat with his back to the door with basically only his head exposed.  If he is indeed dead there will be unbelievable celebration at his funeral, even if sons Elvis and Chad want to give him one.  It almost seemed to me that Stephano was so dispondent about his life he almost wishes one of those assailents actually had the nerve to take his life.
The gay incursion into our lives continues.  June is official - - gay, lezbian, by- and trans-sexuals month.  And now D C Comics has apparently decided to make the Green Lantern gay.  This while "gay" thing is gaining acceptance into areas it never used to before like magazine ads.  California is now anticipating the legalization of gay marriages by declaring that the Clergy of church retains the right NOT to be compelled to marry gay couples as the tennants of their denomination forbids it.  Well, they better make THAT exemption, I tell you!  And now they are meddeling in local politics by banning these traffic light cameras is their purpose is not "public safety" but to raise tax revenue, which of course it is.  To me this is state encroachment into local affairs.  I don't know - - the California legislature seems on an alltogether different planet from the rest of the nation.
I would like to talk a bit on the subject of "circumstances".  By the way readership of this blog spiked yesterday and is back down today, so far.  So, which of the three postings did the people most read?  I have as much as said the "not only to circumstances Matter- - they are Everything.  They are all you have.  And to say that "they don't matter" is playing the Fool.  But I also told you people that I finally "reconsiled with Calvinism" with what I refer to as the "Marcionite solution".  This is a complete divorce of the physical, created world- - - from the karmic world of morality and virtue.  In the Bible Paul wrote that we should thank God IN our circumstances, but not FOR our circumstances.  Tell that to these TV evangelists who judge their own moral capital not by what they have done for God, but what God has done for THEM.  It also says in the Bible- again Marcionite Paul speaking- - "But I have learned in whatever state I am to be content".  The word "therewith" is NOT in the original translation.  Even Neil Savedra will drop little barbs like "God is trying to get your attention".  No, he's not.  This is as old a psychological ploy as the drapes fluttering during a seance and someone says "That's a sign they are here".  Capish?  People go through Life with the hand they are dealt and make the best of it.  I believe that's what is karmicly expected of us- - no more - - no less.  And again- - some people are region centric or nation centric or even Planet Earth centric.  I am "Universe" centric"".  That is- we share the common ether, which according to Star Trek has a "unique molecular signature for this 4 D time space continuoum".  I have been unable to get outside confirmation on this.  We owe this Universe, but we do not owe another.  So it follows that if we find outselves NOT in THIS universe after we are married and then die- - - we don't owe our spouse anything.  She will not only no longer exist- - but it will be as if she Never Existed, as disturbing a thought as that is.  There is a possability (reading between the lines) that our Memories cannot survive OUTSIDE of this time-space continuoum because of that incompatable Ether thing, like picking up the wrong remote controle by mistake.  And this Universe is held together with Ether- - which also carries astrolgical "impitus" if you will. (see previous postings)  According to Jeopardy tonight as late as 1935 Einstein had his doubts about the whole field of "quantom mechanics" as taught at least at that time.  By his writings on the subject he "seems" to be a fan of it but I am not "a wine conosour of quanton mechanics writings- so I wouldn't know the difference anyhow.  Einstein has certainly never heard of the Astronomy Cafe web site.  That's for sure.  Here is a little exercise for you to prove the Ether theory - and this will be my closing example.  Does a paper clip take up maybe a half inch of square space?  Perhaps more than that?  A whole inch and a half maybe? OK.  Then how come the last time you put a paper clip on the scale it didn't weigh 22 pounds, like it should because that's how much pressure the atnosphere exerts.  We regard "creative intelligence" as a mysterious force devoid of mass and substance.  Could it well be that in the other (concave space) universe that they regard what we call Mass some kind of a strainge alien force illusive to them??
