“Whenever our love becomes too attached to one thing, one faith, one virtue then I become suspicious...

A long time I castigated myself before gods and laws which were only idols for me. That was what I did wrong, my anguish, my complicity in the world’s pain. I increased the world’s guilt and anguish by doing violence to myself, by not daring to walk toward my own salvation.

The way to salvation leads neither to the left or to the right: it leads into your own heart and there alone is God and there alone is a peace.”

—Hermann Hesse

Dan and his friends make me very very very suspicious, but that’s their game.

I would follow Hesse’s example.

Always always always play your own game.

Don’t steal others’ toys.

Let anyone play with you.

If someone doesn’t want to play, move on.

Where there is a way there is a limitation.

Yes, I believe that I hear you, smelly and Aaron, but.......

History is not quite finished. We accept all limitations.

Play your own game and don't steal others toys.

That's a good lesson for the day.

Unless we accept all limitations as they are, we are still stuck in the world of limitations.

There is one lesson that all other lessons stem from, that is to be fully present here and now and to be mindful of the subtle way of no way and spontaneous free non action.

Practice this and all else will fall into place.

Aaron,

What you may not understand about the BPWH is that it is powered by the Coherence theory of Truth (CohTT).  It’s rival is the Correspondence theory of Truth (CorTT).  

The mere possibility of visitors is highly unlikely under the aegis of the CorTT.  The CorTT assumes materialism or dualism.  

The CohTT coheres with personalism, immaterialism, the BPWH, etc.......

We put all our eggs in that basket.  There is none other.  

The motive force of existence is the I AM/WE ARE.  

WE ARE is a team sport.  The Earth is our level playing field..... more or less.  

We are the Incarnations of the WE ARE on Earth.  We are the Visitors of the Creator within Creation.  

Now this........

Jus learned that Kashmir's DNA is changing - becoming more like that of the Princess.

Hmmm.........

Impossible......?!

Well........ not completely...... not if we don’t believe in atoms.

....... I’m on the train back to Baltimore.......

The story lines aren’t that important after the message has been received.

You can get to the bottom of most of our Western Civilization and how your mind works if you look.

It is so valuable to study and then relive myth.

This is the value of the graphical symbol.

Again, you have to do the work.

It is the dance of time and the changeless within ourselves that is illuminated by Awareness.

We aren’t arguing a position or philosophy Dan.

smelly,

Those of constrained by time may benefit, if we can see the bouncing ball.

It’s no biggie, but some might take comfort to know that this is the greatest story ever told.

I am not concerned with any truth but my own.

My own truth is very very simple and it's main purpose is to maximize peace within and around this moment that is being experienced now.

The source of peace is silence and relaxed focus on what is now now now.

No plans and no rush, both go against nature's way and against maximizing peace.

I am not concerned about DNA changing.

Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. It doesn't really change what is really important.

Comfort, hmmm, I don’t remember this journey being very comfortable, it can’t be comfortable.

The world doesn’t need anymore fat and lazy muppets.

Just my opinion.

But there is warmth when you need it, by the fire.

This time is like the Black Death at the beginning of the Renaissance.

We have a social contagion now that is killing the old and bringing the new world.

Now, I’m told that the visitors have arrived at the lake.

Dopy was my favorite dwarf.

Bwahaha

They mixed blood with honey and it turned into Mead.

In time he arose, but he did not disclose, for an apple had fallen on his toes. A Small World he said, as another fell on his head, and then off he went to bed. There is much to be told, for a Discloser who is bold, and who need not wait to be told. Forget all the fake, it is time for a break, for a Visitor is now at the Lake.

Well, it does seem that we might get a bit of resolution to this saga, in the near term.  

We can be grateful for that.

You people are adorable.

The Discloser has lost all face, again failing to represent the human race, instead of going to the base, of the Discloser there will be no trace.

Relax.

I meant it in a sincere way.

Children are adorable and such is the kingdom of heaven.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange Aeons even death may die"
-HP Lovecraft, Call of Cthulhu

Is the Visitor Uriel, Michael, Gabriel, or Raphael?

Or maybe one of Kelly's demons.

Or perhaps it is just a fart manifesting from Smelly's subconscious.

We have waited two millennia. Maybe we can wait one more day, so that I don’t have to break a date with Debbie. She has been very patient with me.

Dan,

Happy wife, happy life.

Or should we say, "Happy wife, best possible life."

Who knows, maybe, I am a dumb goat full of air.

We are all running from the hollowness we all feel inside.

So we get everything upside down and back to front.

Sophistication is not a predictor of maturity.

Keep it simple.

We are repetitious looking for meaning in all the wrong places.

It takes a tremendous focus and immense intensity to break through the wall of appearances.

Most are content to paint their prison cell walls different colors and have a TV and some exercise.

It is the repititous longing and quickening that we all have that calls out.

To keep to a line of utter simplicity turns out to be so difficult.

It’s easy to turn left or right, but a whole other thing to go straight on.

The appearances seem to marshall against us, but what are they?

**POOF**

No appearance could ever be an obstacle.

They are help on the long long road.

Everything now seems to speak with the voice of my longing.

If you read the Puritans you will not only experience a stretching of your vocabulary, but you may (every now and then) see overlap with the general contours of the BPWH.

Keep it Simple Stupid?

"If wantonly curious, superciliously insolent, tumultuantly mutinous, corrupt human reason (ambitiously affecting to take up and comprehend the great abyss, the shoreless, bottomless and incomprehensible ocean of the decrees and providence of God within its own little and shallow cockle-shell capacity) would suffer itself to be sobered and becalmed into a humble and just consideration of things, all those high and haughty reasonings and debatings against the unalterable fixedness of the last term of man's natural life, and against the immutability of His decrees in reference to their spiritual and everlasting state, would quickly be let fall. For then it would easily see the great congruity and pleasing suitableness that is in subjecting all, particularly the rational creatures (being but derivative and borrowed bits of being from that first fountain and original being, that being of beings), in all the events that befall them, and in all their motions, acting and operations, according to their respective natures, entitatively, morally or graciously good, and all the adhering anomies (lawlessness), ataxies (disoders), and vitiosities (defects) of them, to the majesty of the most high God, as to His efficient producing of the one, and as to His permitting, bounding, ordering and directly of the other to His own holy and blessed ends; without being justly chargeable with any of the least culpable accession to them; who is by the most absolute perfection of His purest nature, infinitely removed from all possibility of being reach by any tincture or touch of pollution." - James Durham

Thank you, dd and smelly.  Yes, heaven can wait....... one more day.

This is not a stand off.  No, no........

”The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

“But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

Yes, I’m afraid they are cooking up something......


Infinitely removed........?  If only........

Onto the wedding feast..... by way of Philadelphia.....


(cont......)

Oðin left Asgard one day and happened upon three serfs mowing hay. He offered to sharpen their scythes and they agreed. Oðin took a hone and edged their tools and the serfs thought the tools cut much better and wanted to buy the hone. Oðin said the one who bought it should pay by giving a banquet. The serfs replied they were all willing to do this and asked him to hand over the hone. Oðin threw the hone into the air and in their efforts to catch it the serfs killed one another.

Aaron,

You do take a dim view of these proceedings.

smelly is a bit more tolerant of the game.
