we tend to think of faith as some ethereal and purely subjective fluff that we can stuff into a church chapel like insulation and leave it there. Unfortunately some will one day discover to their shock and surprise that faith is actually based upon the highest and most fundamental forms of Truth, and is both completely "down to earth" and omnipresent. God is in everything and sustains everything. All the universe operates by the immediate power of his will, much like a human brain operates according to the humans immediate will at nearly light speed. . This brings into question the immediate factor of our own souls. What am I? Who are people and what are we made of? I think that it is clear what we are physically, based upon our five conscious senses. We can see, smell, hear, and feel, human beings, we can dissect a cadaver, work in the medical field, delve into psychology, or work to improve various brain functions, such as street smarts, metaphysical intelligence, relationa...

It is almost too painful to read about the passion, too difficult to mention his name or to think about it. Too controversial, too much power, it is a swear word, reminding us of our ultimate bankruptcy as a species, our sadism and gangrape, the hideous faults we are capable of. Humanity is drowning in a hideous cauldron of fratricide and self-worshiping destruction, and the worst sin we ever committed was the massacre of God. Joyfully we scarred and destroyed him, pinning him to a tree between heaven and hell, between the elect and the damned criminals. There is only one balance for humanity and the universe, only one way and truth, he is the fulfillment of every religion, and he transforms every aspect of every culture: the highest form of redemption is that the worst thing we ever did was used for our greatest good. The darkest and most hellish hour on this earth became our redemption. We tore God to pieces, and he willingly offered his body for our eternal health. He is the stapl...

I am screaming for Egypt the valley of dry bones your tombs are crumbling pyramids fly upward as sparks to the sky and man is born to trouble now the desert winds begin to blow

Why is it that a man whose name sounds like some vulgar toilet utensil is getting the world so upset? He is merely a humble hacker/journalist with the potential to verify what most people already know. Who's afraid of a little blackmail? This man is a schmuck. He said himself that he is a "combative person" with ties to a cult from an early age. The mental and emotional scarring that traumatizing childhood experiences with this cult left upon him have caused him to have an axe to grind with the world. Somebody get me some tissues. N. Korea . China wants the US to take the initiative and invade North Korea, because that is how China behaves. They don't want to take a hit from N. Korea (even though they could win). Years of having a psychotic dictator like Mao has taught them to revert to older Confucian values of patience and saving. They complement the adventuresome US very well, and the world empire of Chimerica will thrive if it can hold together. As for this ...

Warning: this might sound more wacky than it is. Nature is rife with analogies. Every where you look you can see them: repeating patterns which echo in the millions, the hand of God at work. Trees are akin to families, fractals are akin to trees, atoms are akin to the solar system, community breeds more community, unity in diversity gives rise to an advantageous symbiosis. Piranhas rip and tear each other to pieces like a Japanese business group. Everyone recognizes the analogies of nature to human nature and thought, it is found in millions of proverbs and used as a strong tool in magical thinking of practitioners of animism and the occult. This makes perfect sense, since man is made in the image of God, and God is order, peace, and consistency. I feel that there is a great fallacy that we all draw in relation to the creations of mankind. Everywhere you look you see manmade things: we have garnered objects of nature to do our bidding and make our lives easier. Are these things ev...

Watched inception. Here are the ideas that were locked in my mind: We start out like Descartes: I think therefore I am. I am whom? Am I who I want me to be? A world focused completely on me is my own dream. Who's to tell me it's not? I think this, and then take a step back and realize that things don't go as I want them to. This is either because: 1- I have some subconscious urge to put myself through trouble and therefore conjure it up. or 2- The world is not my dream. My mind pays no great attention to intricate detail. There is more to anyone's spirit and personality in terms of depth than I would originally think. The more deep into the dreamworld a life or a story is, the more confined it is, the less the detail. I corrupt the world by making it my own because my mind is extremely limited. Everything in my own dreams is simply a projection, and a lifeless bland projection. I can never meet the standard of all the intricacies of reality. Option 2: the world is a...

Human minds behave much like antennas: they receive signals generated from somewhere. We call these signals ethos/zeitgeist/worldview/memes. We have many terms to connote how ideas are spread throughout societies, social groups, families, etc. In a way, these are like the candles of Hinduism (which sees souls and identities as small passing and changing fires). An idea, or what could be called a "spirit" (like the spirit of Elijah, that's the spirit, the spirit of Christmas) passes from one person to another. If you go to a completely foreign environment you will find that it is necessary to radically change your antenna to get a linguistic, a psychological, a sociological, and a spiritual grasp of how things are around you (these are all realms of the mind). We can surmise how people think to a small extent by their language, but even more so by an unconscious recognition of patterns in how lives are lived. Societies have a distinct spirit, groups of all kinds have a dis...
