Stealing a person's "Gods"

As you know it was announced on Monday that the president would be delivering his State of the Union address right in the hallowed halls of congress just like usual.  I still think it might not be a bad idea for house Democrats to start up a chant of "Whose house?" when the president is walking in.  Now there is talk that Muller wants to stall out Roger Stone in not pressing ahead with a speedy trial because he has so much evidence against him he can't process it in time for the ninety day deadline or whatever and Stone may pull an "OJ" on Muller by rushing his preporation.   Not to sound pro White or anything but I'm getting a glimmer of doubt whether that Black comedian really got assaulted in the manner he describes in that hallway with all of those surveilance cameras.  They were all rolling but this incident he describes doesn't show up on any of them.  He was called nigger and faggot and whatever and had bleach poured on him and a nuce tied around his neck.  He still had the nuce around his neck as he was talking to his apartment.  The cops want to interview two guys outside walking in the dark with a grainy image.  The victim claims his assailant's faces were covered.  So how can he prove it to make any kind of a legal case.  Then we have Camille Harris having sex with Willie Brown when she was much younger.  She did it as kind of sleeping her way to the top, it's alleged.  The story hasn't gained any traction.  I never did like Willie Brown anyhow.

I'd like to update our roster of Tarot Card rock groups.  As you know Steely Dan replaced Ted Nugent as the High Priestess.   We had Earth Wind and Fire at number eleven or Temperance.  But they have been replaced by the Ohio Players, who had and still have much more popularity and backing among members of the Federation.  We still have Jefferson Airplane as The Sun.   But as you know we have four more cards to represent all of the letters of the English alphabet.  The four represent the four combinations of two Triagrams in the I Ching.   We have the mother and father represented by Heaven and Earth and this is Black Sabbath.  We have the oldest son and daughter, represented by Thunder and the Tree or wood.  This represents Deep Purple.  We have the Doors as the middle son and daughter represented by the abysmal water and the roaring fire.  Finally we have an old group returning that wasn't included in our last compilation.  Robin Trower, representing the youngest son and daughter representing standing still, mountain, and the joyous lake.   I hope you're clear.

Can one party "steal another person's God"?   Some might say that the Western World as we know it with our culture "stole" Jehovah from the Jews.   There is a verse in scripture that goes "In a land where you were known as Not My People, you should then be known as My People".   While this could refer to the Ashkanazi Jews, it's more likely that this refers to Europe and the United States embracing Jehovah, in a way they never did in pagan times.  Of course Captain Piccard stole a God from this culture led by this woman Adfra.  "What would you say if I told you that I had stolen your powers?"  And he did.  I guess we kind of have to look at prophecy and imigry of the Old Testament to see how this could take place.  We believe God sacrificed his only son Jesus because Abraham was willing to sacrifice his "only" son Isaac in the days of Genisis.   But of course he didn't go through with the sacrifice.  For one thing we don't know that Isaac was completely sinless, which it would have to be for the sacrifice to "work" by their own admission.  But the analogy breaks down because we learn that a Ram was caught in the thicket and used for the sacrifice instead of Isaac.  I think this is an analogy to Judas being "caught" in the legal system and was cricified instead of Jesus.  This is what the Gospel of Barnabus says.  I didn't know but this is what most Moslems believe.  Jesus whom they revere, never had to die on the cross.  We then come to another example of Isaiah 53.  Here again we learn that a person can live a Righteous life- - - but I think you can be Righteous in Jewish culture and not be utterly devoid of sin never in need of a sin offering.  If Jesus and his disciples really lived by The Law, then one might presume they availed themselves of the temple sacrifice system with transgression and sin offerings of animals.  Of course here we have the whole Nazarite angle.  Nazarites didn't believe in the deaths of animals except they allowed you to eat fish.  Of course they wouldn't say Nazarite but change it to Nazarene and claim that it's really a town that Jesus was from.  But they add that Jesus never did any mighty works there.  But it's my belief that even though Jesus Himself hated the whole Temple system- - - Judas was another story.  As a good Jew he embraced the system and "The establishment" saw Judas as a martyr to their cause.

I'm going to do another paragraph but I think I'll save it to tomorrow.  We could talk about the rain today and all of the lightning and thunder.  The all time record low in Chicago is 27 below zero, but it's much lower in other areas.  They are expecting a rise of fifty degrees over the weekend.   I'm not going to predict if it will be the Rams of the Patriots winning the Superbowl.  The Federation backed the Rams over the Saints, but they also backed Kansas City over the Patriots.   The Rams have sure been working out a lot.  I think they're loaded for bear on Sunday.

Nobody wants to be accused of "stealing" something.  If you have something that you didn't have before people want to know that you came by it honestly.   Claire on Days of our Lives is in the business of stealing someone elses' boyfriend.  The trouble is she is finding out that when you make a deal with the Devil, the Devil doesn't like to be messed with, if you know what I mean.  He demands his pound of flesh.   The reality is that Jehovah is Lord of Western Culture.  How He got that way doesn't matter.  The question then with the anti Trump people is how we will ever get Deliverance from this Trump oppression we have all been under the past two years.   Astrology is the only deliverance I can think of.  When the stars change, circumstances change.  When you're playing chess there are things you would like to do as an opponent but the other side isn't configured to your liking and you hope "something will change" and your enemy will make a mistake.  As you know I believe one of the eleven dimensions is feng chue "strings".  When these strings get energized by moving through them, events happen and circumstances change.   You could arrange the eleven dimensions in the form of a Christmas tree with the stem at the bottom representing the eleventh dimension.  We could talk about the top of the tree briefly.  This is the dimension of Mind and Intelligence.  One trait of this dimension is that there is no Time at all.  We don't know how this could be.  How can you exist in a world without Time?  We know there is no time there because they don't have any Higgs bozons.  This is the "God" particle.   Hence this could be called the dimension where you go to escape God.  We know that cats and dogs are color blind.  But it would be a mistake to suppose that they see things in shades of "gray" we we know it, because even Gray is a perceived color to us.  We relate gray to other colors.  These cats and dogs are not even aware of the Absence of colors in their own perception.  Likewise the people in the psychic or Mind dimension are not even aware of Time either going fast or going slow.  I don't know how to explain it.  A lot of questions are unanswered.  But of course this is a dimension without gravity and mass.  This of course even changes how you perceive space.  We only know that travel and communication in this dimension is instantanious. 

Roger Stone is the Latest to be Indicted

Muller better get on the stick and get out his report.  At this stage of the Nixon Watergate era it's already January of 1975 when people weren't even talking about Watergate any more.   Roger Stone was indicted on seven counts last week.  Five were for lying to congress and one was obstruction and there was one more.  But the meat of the matter is that Stone was involved in Wikkileaks and talking with Julian Assange in 2016.   Ok here is other material from Thursday.   Roger Stone has been indicted and Stephanie Miller is delighted by the news.  Roger Stone was charged with dealing with Julian Assange of Wikki leaks concerning material to sabotage the Hillary Presidential campaign.  But apparently they held off on the worst charges hoping to make a deal.  My feeling is that they should throw the book at him with every charge they can think of.  Then if they like what he says in testimony and if they’re in a good mood that day, then they’ll eliminate charges as they see fit and feel comfortable with eliminating.  It seems to me all of the trump people are under-charged hoping to win some favor.  I think Muller should get off the dime and just come out with his report and if there is more material that comes out, then do an updated report.  This is only logical but these people aren’t logical.  

During lunch Trump’s speech was playing on the TV and it didn’t appear to be a short one.  President Trump has agreed to reopening the government and he did so without any pre-conditions from Pelosi.  This is a major concession by the President.  Some remarked about the way the president was dressed in the rose garden with his red tie and top coat.  He spoke a lot about the women and children sex trafficking and how the wall would stop the trucks from rolling north.  He spoke of hundreds of thousands of new drug addicts.  He made his solution seem doable with a strategic two hundred and some odd miles of steel wall.  He repeated that he never advocated a concrete wall from shore to shore.  I think his ideas are at least considering. 

  I had on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.  They each talked a little and took a few questions.  Reporters were trying to egg them on to gloat a little at what a loser the President was and how he was so brilliantly out-smarted.  Gloating does nobody any good.  The President reiterated his threat to declare an emergency or else shut down the government again if he doesn’t get his way.  It is people like Anne Coulter and others on the right that speck of President Trump being the biggest whimp of all time.  After this it was Norman Goldman, which is the first time I have gotten to listen to this program in a long time because Bill has been riding shotgun over the TV and if I turn it off he takes notice.  

President Trump has come to the decision that he’s going to now wait for the government shut-down to be over with and then he’s going to deliver the State of the Union in the house chamber as Presidents always do.  He calls this request of Nancy “reasonable”.   Koehn has been subpoenaed by congress even though he fears reprisals from the Trump administration.   There are allegations against his father in law for working with organized crime in Ukraine, and Giuliani has gotten on the band wagon on this one.  He won’t be testifying in early February as planned but he’s going to testify before he goes to prison in March.  People are looking forward to all of the new revelations.  Trump proposed a new deal with Pelosi yesterday.  He says that the government can be opened on a three week trial basis to see if we can reach an agreement.  But Trump wants a “down payment” on the wall before the government can be reopened.   

Trump's "Compromise" is Still on the Table

.  The academy award nominations are out as of five thirty this morning.  I didn’t watch them live.  “Vice” is up for best picture.  Bill Press says it almost makes Chaney appear TOO evil.  I’d like to see that movie and also Bohemian Rhapsody hoping the casting for Freddy Mercury is all right.  Then there was “Black Panther” and four other movies.  Then it was Stephanie Miller.  There are rumors that the President and congress are on the verge of a deal to open the government.  It’s been 32 days as of today.  The second payroll check will be missed this Friday.  Polls indicate that the people still blame Trump for the shut-down.  I think whoever breaks the log jam and gets government open will be held as a hero, even if it is the democrats.

The Rams beat the NO Saints in the Superdome on Sunday on FOX.  But the Rams looked horrible through most of the first half.  They finally found their stride and began marching down the field a few minutes before the end of the half just about the time Glenda came in this room.  The Rams continued to perform better in the second half but they were still behind.  There was a key pass interference call that failed to be made that the Ram defense got away with, which changed around he whole game.  Then the Rams got the ball and charged down the field in the final 39 seconds and kicked a 48 yard field goal tying the game.  In OT the Rams kicked a 57 yard field goal that won the game with a score of 26 to 23.  The Rams are going to the Super Bowl.  The game ended a little after three.  The next game started just before dinner.  I caught both games within seconds after the start of the respective games.  The Patriots played the Chiefs in Kansas City.  They also played to a tie at the end of the regulation play.  But then in overtime the Chiefs never got to handle the ball and the NE Patriots scored a touchdown to win the second game.  The Patriots had previously scored a quick touchdown at a time when the crowd thought the Chiefs had it in the bag and were singing their war chant.    It’s a case of both games going to overtime and the road teams winning both games, a rare occurrence now.

.  Today is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year according to statistics.  It’s too far away from Newyears and people have already broken all their resolutions.  They are probably upset at who is and isn’t going to the Super Bowl. And according to this thing “We aren’t close to any major holidays”.  Of course people like Stephanie and Thom work on holidays such as Columbus Day and today.  Trump is still in office.  We failed to get rid of him in the first two years and now there are already all of these democrats declairing their candidacy for president in 2020.   Camilla Harris is the latest one today.  Any talk of impeachment had disappeared entirely.  Impeachment isn’t even on the RADAR screen now.  And Koehn won’t be testifying till next month.  The government is still shut down and the LA school teachers are still on strike.  Nothing had changed.  We are all in a continuing state of stagnation.  I’m still having stomach problems I’ve had for more than the past week.  I haven’t heard democrats talk about any other bills they want passed.  According to one KFI host, democrats don’t want to be too up front in attacking trump.  They would rather pitch their own pet political projects for their candidacy.  My blogging rates have slowed down.  There is one medical procedure that is still hanging over me now like an albitros.  Maybe the sun has come out but the psychological clouds remain.  Let’s hope something lifts soon.

I had my baked potato for lunch with not enough sour cream and only two butters.  We had mango-guava sherbet for dissert in a bowl and everybody says they thought it was something else.  I had Scott Wilkinson and Leo Laporte on till one.  We were all waiting for the presidential address, which we were tipped off wasn’t going to be an emergency declaration.

Moe Kelly was MC for Trump’s speech, which I listened to on the radio a little after one.  The bottom line on this is that I think we should give the president everything he’s asking for.  This will shut him up and give us the moral high ground.  It’s like shutting up a whiny five year old.  If it were something that would harm the country like the trans Pacific partnership then I would hold out till hell froze over.  But I’m not going to go to the wall for what basically is symbolism.  The president had a whole package of proposals including adding court judges to hear all of the new immigration cases, and increased medical aid for the refugees.  He also proposed a three year moratorium on arrests of the dreamers who qualify for it.  In terms of the wall itself, he only wants to build a little over two hundred miles of it and not two thousand miles.  It will be steel slats and not concrete.  The speech wasn’t that long.  After this Moe Kelly began giving his coentary and I went out to sit in the warm weather watching the cat sun herself in the grass.  Not to freak you people out or anything but Jim Morrison put in another appearance to inform me that he thinks the speech should be rejected as a non starter just like Nancy says.  The speech has nothing new in terms of substance that hasn’t been offered and rejected before and that the wall is a symbol of racism.  I would repeat that I’m not ready to “die on this hill” for a symbol.  I expressed surprise he was still here and not back on Andromeda D.  He said that he would be around (the Federation) at least for a little while.  He said his oppinions are his own and he doesn’t know the position the Federation has taken, if any, on Trump’s proposals.  I just feel that the tide is going to turn.  People will point this speech and say “Look, Trump is prepared to compromise but bad old Nancy up there is the stick in the mud that is refusing to budge”. 

Riders on the Storm

Nancy Pelosi is on a power trip or something.  She’s recinding the “invitation for the President to speak at the house” on January 29^th for the State of the Union message.  She has the power to do that but sometimes prudence nececitates caution in these matters of political tradition, certainly something with as long-standing political tradition as this.  I would have gone ahead and let the president speak and make a complete ass of himself.  Nancy has cited security concerns, which is bullshit.  Either that or the democrats are somehow afraid of the president’s ratings, which is a wrong assumption.  According to Patty,  Pelosi is throwing her political weight around stripping people in appointed positions of their power.  Then we have Bill Barr, who has been speaking before congress the past few days.  Apparently the “twitter-verse” indicates that the President hasn’t responded to Barr’s testimony,  which means he must be secretly in agreement with it despite all of Barr’s promises that he won’t fire Muller.  You must remember that the president, before he even hires an individual, makes they swear personal loyalty oaths to him.  Of course Stephanie is talking about the “clitter-verse”, which is a web-site for lezbians.  There is an old movie out from the ‘forties called “The Amazing Dr Clitterhouse”, staring Edger G Robinson, I think.  You could make an X rated version of that movie where the doctor doubles both as a psychiatrist and a sex therapist.  You then have Giuliani, who says “Nobody ever said that the CAMPAIGN never colluded with Russia; we only said that the president didn’t personally collude”.  This may be a way to make fall guys out of Donald Trump Jr and also Jered Kushner.  Then we have the embarrassing Syria thing yesterday where four Americans were attacked by ISIS forces.  This is the organization that  was supposed to be kaplut by not.  Obama got in so much trouble in 2012 calling them the Junior Varsity league, or something.  Now the roles are reversed and it’s Trump rather than Obama who is guilty of wanting to pull out all of our troops too soon.   Even Lindsay Graham has expressed concern on this one and these days Lindsay Graham agrees with the president on most everything.  This is just the state of affairs in the country today.  Of course I haven’t been blogging because my health has taken a turn for the worse the past five days or so.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get back on the track now.  I could call the blog “Riders on the Storm” after the weather lately, or an incident that occurred last Friday morning pre-dawn.  Of course Kohen will be testifying before congress in a few weeks.  People want to know why impeachment hearings haven’t gotten started.  Even Elijah Cummings wasn’t in favor of that and he’s a flaming liberal.  It’s silly to say “Well, impeachment hearings might be constrewed as too political.  Everything the President does is to cater to his political base and I’d like to know how you can get more political than that.  It’s the pot calling the kettle black.  We need impeachment as checks and balances.  That’s why it was put in the constitution.  When you have a felon and a conspirator in the White House this becomes particularly important.  The security of our nation demands impeachment hearings. 

"Who's House - ???    (rrrooaarrrr)  Really they should have a "Who's house?" shout-out in congress just before the President speaks there in the house chamber assuming he does that.  It would be a way of getting back.  The Rams won't be playing any more games in the Coloseum thanks to the Eagles loss to the Saints last Sunday due in part to a missed pass and interception.   I'm routing for the Rams to beat the Saints in the Superdome and also the KC Chiefs to beat the Patriots playing at Arrowhead in fifteen degree weather.

Today is January 17th  and the 25th anniversary of the Northridge earthquake.   Today President Trump got back at Nancy Pelosi assirting his authority by denying her military aircraft to go visit the troops to get her poll numbers up.   It's the 27th day of the government shut-down.

Jim Morrison put in an appearence last Friday morning in the pre dawn hours but I don't want to go into the details of what he said to me at this time.  I'm too lazy.  I did want to say that as far as all of our eleven dimensions stuff we should go back to making the first three dimensions of height and breadth and length (or depth) as spacial dimensions.  The next two are of time.  There is the time we all live in and then there is latteral time.  Jim Morrison agrees me and not with the Federation on this one.  Then we both agree that we should bring back the psychic dimension as realm six.  This is the sort of "intelligence transfer" region we discussed in the last blog where Words are Things and everyone's thoughts are public knowledge.  Then we have the four material dimensions.  These are gravity or mass, and then Form, then Function, and then Awareness.  This makes ten.  Then we skip the "dynamic" dimension.  Jim Morrison thought this dimension was superfelus since Every dimension is a "dynamic.  We can argue about that.  Finally we have retained the dimension of feng chue strings at number eleven.  These are "strings" that trigger events when struck.  The distance the object at the other end of the string is- - doesn't matter.  Only the size of the object matters. 

Rosenstein Leaves the Administration

Stephanie Miller has been talking about Donald Trump’s addiction to Aderoll and how he even snorts it to get a constant supply of it into his blood stream.  But now they have Aderoll in new anal suppository form called Asserol, which the president uses.   Yesterday deputy attorney general Rosenstein announced his departure from the administration.  This has to be a bad sign.  And I  think it’s particularly dire because special prosecutor Muller seems bogged down in handing down his indictments.  Apparently the current Att Gen Whiticker is testifying before congress to find out what sweet heart deals have already been made.  They say this is a dystopian world we live in today.  We sure hope that forward progress will be restored in 2019 and it can’t come soon enough.  But I would remind you if we use a Watergate parrellel this would be the equivelant of January of 1975 and by that time nobody was talking about Watergate anymore. 

KABC news didn’t appear to be breaking for the Trump broadcast so I turned it to channel two.  There was no build-up or anything but the President launched right into his speech from the oval office.  I wasn’t the least bit impressed by the speech because I’m against the border wall for good reasons.  But when he speaks of a “crisis of the soul” and other lofty terms about “humanity” and compassion to the children, I know some will be swayed.  Chuck Shummer and Nancy Pelosi each gave dry speeches lacking in any really charisma or appeal to the masses.  So in terms of campaign points I’d say that Trump wins the day on this one.  Let us move to today’s meeting with congress people.  This meeting lasted fourteen minutes and then Trump straight out asked Nancy “Am I getting the wall?” and Nancy said “No” so he had nothing more to say and stalked out.  This is the nineteenth day of the government shut-down and pay day is on Friday the eleventh and the workers aren’t going to get paid.  Trump of course says “Most of the workers are on my side; they understand”.   The president of course lives in a world of delusion.  The President did not declare any emergency in this speech and I don’t think he will because he knows experts on court rulings inform him it can’t be done.  We watched CBS news because we needed a break from ABC.  Their coverage centers around three topics which are “The horse race” “celebrity scandals” and the ever present weather. 

Yesterday a little before one Sarah intercepted me in the north hall and wanted me to see Dr Messina.  There was no line and I went right in.  I gave him a positive report even though at the time I felt tired.  I said I was sleeping better and didn’t wake anxious and I’ve been going to more of the activities around here.  I also mentioned that I’ve returned to a more accelerated blogging schedule.   He made reference to my “energy” and I’m not sure that was it.  In general as I told him I recovered from my long illness in the fall and that explains it. 

Let's call this one called "Back to Orion".   There are about four or five major alternatives for the afterlife.  Most likely might be is that there is no afterlife.  This life is all you have and you better make the most of it.  Don't waste time or oppertunities.  Get as much pleasure out of every-day life as you can and "loose yourself in the moment" and don't think about when you get old.  Try and leave the Planet in better condition than you found it.  This is good stewardship.  The next level up would be reincarnation.  You might be reincarnated as an insect or an animal like a dog or a cat.  Perhaps you'll be somebody's pet.  You could have human hosts such as a Syrian being bombed to death by the Russians, or perhaps one of the many corrupt African nations.  Or you may come back in a first world developed country speaking a foreign language fluently.  There are less likely alternatives to the afterlife.  You could discover that this life was a total illusion foisted on you by some intelligent being (in air quotes) perhaps as some electronic circuitry thing on a giant paperweight on someone's desk like a Star Trek episode.  Of course it would have to be an "intelligence" that gets bored quickly and needs to come up with bizzare ways to amuse himself at others' expense.  Perhaps it's a series of illusions like all of that "suicide" stuff I was writing in the spring of 1996.   A variation of this is that you could experiances of a memory of a good life that you never really lived.  God could tell you "This is the wonderful life you lived" even though you never really lived it so it isn't really a part of your karma.  Finally, and this is the most favorible outcome is that there is a realm of pure intelligence and morality where judgement and morality actually mean something  It is said that in this realm we have called "Realm Six" is that Words are things" and other's thoughts can be made plainly manifest like the material apperitions that appear around them. 

I would like to talk about subatomic particles.  These are divided into leptons and quarks.  But this whole category is but another sub category.  The broader categories are Firmions and Bozons.  The firmions are the ones with the leptons and quarks and all the other matter we deal with.  Bozons are more mysterious because they appear to have neither substance or any convenient locality.  They are very mysterious.  It has been said that in certain types of subatomic material that they can travel faster than light, which is the pipe dream of many a scientist.  Now ordenary matter in my oppinion can travel faster than light, if the circumstances are right.  But scientists only see faster than light travel with very distant stars and galaxies on the "edge" of the ever expanding Universe- - flying away from us.  If you travel at faster than light speed yourself- - these may be the only stars that you see out your window.  Of course the Orion Federation has billed itself as being both "The Future of Planet Earth" and "The Answer" to all of these after-life questions.  They believe there is a realm of space that they have called hyper-space, where faster than light travel is routine and this hyper-space is not subject to any of the limitations of our ordenary space.  But this hyper-space realm is also the realm of Pure Intelligence and some may call that "God" but I prefer to use the term pure intelligence.  This is in no way energy that travels in the ether waves and is not subject to our electronic instruments.  We have spoken in the past of the majority of our body weight being "pure energy" also called binding energy.  These details used to be on the web site Astronomy Cafe.  Maybe it's still there.  We have spoken of "holes" in this energy that can be filled up with generic or "fungable" quarks, that are interchangable one with another.  So then is this "energy" the hyperspace itself?  Or does it travel IN said hyper-space?  We call it hyper-space NOT because it can be reached if you travel fast enough  On the contrary no ammount of physical travel will get you there.  Like gnosticism and marcionism of old, it can only be reached due to (for lack of a better word) supernatural intervention.  I have no idea how this would take place.  Some say it is reachable by Death.  But this raises the question of how Life and "life more abondantly" can come from something negative like Death.  (Selah)   The Orion Federation's calling card seems to be Death and the Realm of the Dead. 

President Trump Goes Prime Time Tonight

President Trump will be making one of his rare prime time televised speeches tomorrow night to explain the government shut down and the need for the border wall to the American people.  I just hope he won’t use the speech to declare a national emergency or anything like that.  Norman Goldman says he’s going to boycott the speech.  We live in scarey times.  President Trump has reversed his position on two issues.  He’s decided that maybe we don’t want to get out of Syria after all because ISIS isn’t really defeated.  Also to keep his political base happy, the income tax refunds will be sent out, because his redneck friends voted for that.  This shut-down has lasted sixteen days, which is about the longest of any shut-down and is even longer than the “Monica Luinsky” shut-down of late 1995.  I would tell you to pray for our country but I’m not entirely sure God is swayed by moral arguments.  I’ve made a lot of “moral arguments” with God and it hasn’t helped.  It’s pretty much a case of “what’s already in the script”.  

Then it was “God Friended Me”.  If I were to come up with a functional definition of “friending” I would say it’s God inviting you into his decision making powers.  There are portions of the “script” that are left blank and he leaves it to you how he will finish those final lines in it.  We’d all like to be “friended” by God.  (Selah) We were shown that snail shell spiral pattern of sites based on the Golden Mean.  That guy at the center of it all wasn’t there but some woman was and she had a story to tell.  Everything is a wild goose chase.  I went to bed just after “NCIS Los Angeles” came on. 

At twelve noon I turned on the TV for Gavin Nusin’s swearing in and speech.  I didn’t vote for him because I thought he was too liberal.  Now we have him for four years. Taking the oath of office was supposed to take place at noon but the new governor was already in the middle of his speech, which lasted another twenty minutes.  It was a “feel good” speech which sounded more like a campaign speech full of promises and clichés rather than a down to earth speech on the hard decisions Californians have to make today.  They said he was going to raise taxes even higher and that spending would be stepped up on all new programs we may not be able to afford.  I went out and talked with Phyllis a while.  When I returned they were doing “Swamp Watch” on KFI.  On Days of our Lives- - - Zander came back from the dead to torment Victor some more, as I figured he would do sooner or later with the authors signing off on it.  Sierra questioned Ben Weston about his kidnapping of Gabriel.  He denied kidnapping Gabriel when Hope was there but when she left he confessed it to Sierra.  He doesn’t want to lie to her.  Now she’s “not sure” whether she can live with a boyfriend who kidnaps and beats up people for a living.  Jack left off the love making with Eve to “go out and find some answers” to his life.  Of course we are to assume that Jack’s amnesia is curable by “Dr Rolph’s” serum.  I got fruit cocktail in the hall.  Then Joselyn told me about the Bible Study and after I made myself a cup of coffee I joined them and signed the sheet.  They were going to do a study on the prodigal son and I guess “I’ve heard it”.  In the Bible Walter Martin points out that saints are never referred to as “pigs” or “dogs”, but people who return to sin are, which means they were never sheep to begin with, in keeping with the Calvinist tradition.  If you’re a “sheep” then you are one of the good guys no matter what you do and you’ve always been a good guy.

This is Tuesday January 8th and Elvis would be 84 if he were still alive.  The consumer electronics show is going on in Las Vegas this week.   Now they are doing a parody of "California Girls"on the Stephanie Miller show.  We'll have a concluding paragraph after a while. 

If you wish to dig down and find the very roots of  "The Church" your problem is that often you just aren't radical enough in your thinking.  "Radical" means root.  Even if an enlightened statement pops into your mind you are bound to reject it.  "Christ wasn't declared sinless because after an exhaustive look at his life the Church concluded that he was sinless.  Rather "Christ" was first defined as sinless.  Then the Church sought about searching for a shell life to fill up with their newfound theology.  As we have told you over postings over the past few weeks,  the real Jesus left Jerusalem.  This was perhaps part of a deal made with Pilate the governor.  He went first to Egypt perhaps to be introduced to the theology of Philo of Alexandria, and from there he made his move to Rom, perhaps to be with his biological father, who was perhaps Roman.  I believe the name "Christian" first originated in Rome and not in Antioch.  Meanwhile I believe Judas Iscariot, who attempted to betray Jesus the Nazarite,  was perhaps a scribe or a pharicee.  He was well versed in higher Jewish theology and the Law.   It is said that when Elvis died, someone, perhaps Col Tom Parker quipped, "Good carrier move".  Judas was crucified on the cross by popular demand.  When Judas died many in the priestly pharisiac school viewed him as a martyr for Jewish temple theology, which was a dying breed in first century Palestine.  Still I believe evolution of the theology of someone being a human sacrifice to atone for human sin was a slow one.  But after the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD the necessity for an alternative theology became apparent.  You know what they say- - necessity is the mother of invention.  From then on there were "Believers" in this new theology.  I believe this ransom sacrifice for sinful man theology spread to Syria.  I'm not sure where the Apostle Paul was from.  But he'd obviously heard the theology of Marcion and adopted port of it.  He believed that we were "redeemed" not only from sins- - - but from the Law itself.  He also believed in what I call the "Marcion wall of separation" from the Moral and the Physical world.  He also had a distrust of "created" angels as Marcion did.  Paul was also influenced by the Book of Enoch and books have pointed out phrases in common.  But there is one more thing that got Paul going preaching his message.  This was the death of Apolonius of Tyannus in Asia Minor.  There were believers in this new Messiah.  Paul sought to piggy back on this.  Paul had very little knowledge of the real Jesus and did not consider quoting his sayings, if he was even aware of them.  this was Paul's "Gospell".   He did not know of gospels, plural, if they even existed yet.  Instead by the Gospel he meant his own "Good News" about the human condition.  From Marcion as well as gnosticism,  was added the notion of "Salvation" and regeneration to New Life.  

Stephanie Miller is Back

President Trump wants to abolish congress like a Roman emperor or something assuming dictatorial powers.  President Trump says that is congress refuses to approve the 5.6 billion dollar concrete wall that he’ll declare a national emergency and have the Pentagon build it “very quickly” in thirty foot high concrete.   Millie told me how she was reading “The Dead Zone” about a schoolteacher with psychic preminitions about a chance to kill this dangerous dictator personality.  Of course she also told me about the failed plot to kill Hitler in July of 1944 and how if this plot had succeeded that ten million lives would have been saved counting all of the battle deaths and the deaths in the death camps.  It makes you think a little.  Maybe there is a non lethal way of getting Trump, which might involve kidnapping and imprisonment to some remote island kind of in the Stephano Di Mira tradition.  Maybe.

This is twenty till two and the Bears and the Eagles are getting ready to play on NBC.  The concencus is the Federation wants the Bears to win.  That way the Rams will look better next week when they beat the Bears at home.  Baltimore made a game of it toward the end and scored two quick touchdowns making it 17 to 23.  But then they gave up the ball with in a fumble.  For a long time the score was 12 to 3 Chargers.  Baltimore had no offence at all.   Yesterday’s games both went the Federation’s way.   In a late addition, the Bears lost the game to the Eagles played at Soldier field by one point 16 to 15.  The Eagles missed an extra point in their touchdown.  The Bears marched down the field the other way very quickly.  It was all set for a not too hard 43 yard field goal.  He made the first one but the Eagles called time out to “ice the kicker” and then he tried again and this time he hit the left upright.

Sixty Minutes had this scientist guy who has advanced skills in molecular chemistry and invented a new kind of “real” sugar that’s a lot sweeter and it doesn’t cause tooth decay.  He’s also invented a kind of plastic that initially is indistinguishable from regular plastic but it breaks down in eleven weeks thus solving the gigantic waste problem that we have. He has also perfected a new way of getting ethanol that you can either drink or use in your car that is seventy percent less prone to cause global warming.  It’s seventy percent more efficient to produce.  Then they had this Alsisi leader of Egypt who has been around five or six years or so and was put into power by a popular uprising.  The majority of the Egyptian people are with him, very much unlike the Moslem Brotherhood, who set about installing a dictatorship where others had no say.  This guy is not all good.  He’s overbearing as far as his repressive measures.  But one must remember that the Moslem Brotherhood was a sneaky, insidious and treacherous, who won all of those elections in the so called “Arab Spring” that President Obama was suckered by.  But they mass in great numbers with weapons and drastic action had to be taken against them for the stability of society.  The Moslem Brotherhood has been feeding the West their own propaganda about how Alsisi is nothing but despotic.  That isn’t entirely true.  But it does make you think about President Trump.  I wouldn’t want the repressive measures here that have been taken there.  If President Trump began massively throwing protestors in prison here there would be riots.  This Alsisi guy went further and tortured people while in prison and there is absolutely no call for that.  Hopefully the guy would grant court trials after a while.  But then again we’ve had people imprisoned in Guantanamo bay, who haven’t gotten their day in court yet. 

.  I had Leo Laporte on.  He listed this prediction of a guy twenty years ago who predicted that by 2019 that computers would be talking to us and conversations would be increasingly human and that we would be “having personal relations with” our computers.  Images would be beamed right into our brains.  These prediction people always under-shoot the goals.  Fifteen years ago is was January of 2004 and Leo Laporte just came on the air on KFI in his same time-slot.  The biggest difference between then and now is that we had no I Phones and digital TV was still a pipe dream.  We had standard definition DVD’s and even that technology was less than ten years old.  I had had Word 2003 for only a few weeks and that program had vocal dictation that didn’t work very well and they got rid of it.  Judy says “You have to train your computer”.   Howard Dean was running for president and he had an alternative to the Iraq War maybe we would like to hear about except Howard Dean’s campaign self destructed.   We had I-Pods then and this was the first sign that CD’s as we know them may be going out of business.  Each person could now posess a thousand songs at once and every-body knew what an MP3 file was now.   My drivers license from September of 2002 said 215 pounds and I had just switched to the Republican party caught up in Bush mania.  Then as now we lived in the shadow of 9-11.  Back in those days I was still going to Green Harbor.  I had photographs of the current stars which were Lindsay Lohan, Britany Speers and Jennifer Lopez. 

.  I caught the end of Joel Olsteen.  He was talking about that architect guy who was building a house for someone and at the end of it all he hands the key to him and says “It’s your house to live in”.  The question is whether the guy had integrity or not when he build the house.   I received a new “The Week” magazine at lunch today from Sarah.  It had Trump walling himself in with bricks.  The question arises of “What sort of a house is Trump building?” The seven virtues are Integrety, Compassion, Faithfulness, Courage, Pursuit of Justice, Prudance, and Dilligence.    The seven vices are Wrathfulness, Avarice, Lust, Sloth.  Treachery, Cowardess, and Squandering.  One should always keep these lists of seven and seven in mind when it comes to dealing with God.  And you’ll make Joel Olsteen happy.   Of course it’s my list and not his, but he reminds us to keep virtue in mind in our daily activities.

Democrat Wins in Highly Contested Congressional Election

We Democrats finally have something to celebrate about today.  Conner Lamb, the democrat in that west Pennsylvania congressional election of yesterday to fill a vacant seat- - - won a special election beating the Republican who apparently hadn't been serving very long.  Trump campaigned heavily in that district because this race was important to his image.  It was a district that went for Trump by twenty points in the 2016 election.  The victory was a slim one but definite.  The margin was only 640 votes that’s awfully narrow.  The Republican hasn’t conceded defeat.   There is this Drew Miller fellow who is a Libertarian and he got a thousand votes, which is more than the margin of victory.  The danger would be if he could somehow ‘give his votes” to the Republican loser.  I don’t know if two democratic victories make a trend, but we can hope.     

This is Wednesday March 14, 2018, “Pi” day.  All the restaurants are selling pieces of pie for $3.14 or that much off a whole pie or something like that.  Stephen Hawking died in the early morning hours in England, so he died on “Pi” day.  I guess he was the greatest genious of our times.  So what was his greatest “lasting contribution” to science that would compete with the theory of relativity or others?  President Trump arrived in San Diego late yesterday morning and he went to the border to look at at least eight prototypes of “The Wall” that they still plan to build for nearly two thousand miles, mainly across desert.   Then the president went to Mirimar AFB in San Diego and delivered a speech around one.  Then he went by helicopter to Santa Monica and then by motorcade to Beverly Hills where he raises money from donors.  Then he spent the night in a hotel downtown. The latest copy of “The Week” came at lunch time today and it’s all about members of Trump’s cabinet bailing out.  President Trump has so many positions to fill now, mostly because people don’t want to be associated with him.

March 14^th is also student protest day.  At ten o clock all over the country all the students all over the country are going to walk out of their classes for seventeen minutes, to stand for the seventeen students that were killed.  It’s the one month anniversary of the Parkland high school shootings.  They have cops stationed all around campuses to make sure none of the students actually leave the campus or else they will be marked absent.  Meanwhile there’s this guy on the radio now on KFI and he denies there is a gun problem.  He says that long guns are responsible for hardly any deaths and more people are killed each month due to blows with a fist than with long guns.  I don’t believe that for a minute.  He also has a screwball view of why pedestrian deaths are on the rise, particularly here in LA County.  He says it’s because cars are so much quieter now that they sneak up on people.  Then he launches into this lecture about how there are no mass school shootings in the Los Angeles area.  “Look at all of the firearms in places like Compton, or Paccoima, or San Bernardino.  How come there are no mass shootings there?”  It’s a totally absurd line of reasoning.   I say “Just give it time”.   I don’t see why we have to just wait and sit around for the mass shooting to occur here so I can say “I told you so”. 

You know it could be that Abigail “needs” those other personalities at this time to help keep her stable and functional.  Otherwise she might commit suicide or something.  They are her emotional anchor.  Of course these personalities “protect her” from people like Kayla who want to research her disease and find out her awful secret, that she killed Andre.  Stephan fears the same thing and therefore wants to protect Abigail whereas his other Vivian just says to throw her in the looney bin and let her rot or let the doctors sort it all out.  Stephan rightly points out that she’d be confessing to the murder of Andre, and even being so closely tied in with the murder as Stephan and Vivian are would shine too bright a spotlight on the Di Mira household.  Of course I have announced before that John Lennon needed “Greenie” as I call him up until the fall of 1973 after doing “Mind Games” and then “Greenie” went bye-bye.  After this John became more psychological unstable and erratic and the insecurity showed up in his song lyrics.

In personal news things are in limbo.  I haven’t called Paul or Judy about the funeral, which still hasn’t happened.  Today started off overcast but now there are puffy clouds in the sky and it’s mostly sunny.  But two more storm fronts are predicted over the next two or three days and it’s doubtful we could have a graveside service because in Riverside they get storms after we do, and sometimes they’re stronger.  I still haven’t gotten a call from my dentist about approving that dental work.  It could be they’ve turned the funding down.  My tooth doesn’t bother me so maybe I should just forget it for now.

President Trump Fires Sec of State Rex Tillerson

Rex Tillerson got fired today.  I heard this on the Stephanie Miller show before seven.  Tillerson received no notice at all.  Under-secretary Goldstein pointed this out and he got fired along with him.  A third guy named Mc Kinsee lost his security standing and got transferred to the 2020 campaign.  That sounds like a Beach Boy album.  Tillerson is the guy who called Trump a fucking moron.  I doubt Trump ever got over that.  They also disagree sharply on implementing foreign policy.  Trump wants to blow up the Iran nuclear treaty while Tillerson wants to uphold it.  Now this Pompeo guy from the CIA is moving into the Secretary of State slot.  He is a hard right conservative who believes in the CIA using torture.  He is a Koch brothers protogee.  In addition to all of this also during the first hour of Stephanie’s show the Republican Intelligence Committee of the House announced that they had concluded their work and that there was no Russian collusion.  It’s funny how they all like to use that word.

Norman Goldman talked about Stormy Daniels.  Donald Trump never signed that non disclosure contract.  Therefore the contract is inoperative because it was never put in force.  Both parties didn’t agree to it so there was no deal.  There was an offer but no acceptance.  If you offer your friend seven thousand dollars for his car and he doesn’t accept it, there is no contract.  But Goldman kept talking about arbitration.  But you can’t “arbitrate” where there IS a contract to begin with.  I doubt if one or both parties were incompetent or the contract stipulated the commission of illegal acts the contract would be enforceable.  Stormy Daniels wants to “tell all” but now the Trump administration says she is legally bound to keep quiet.

If four democratic US senators want to send a letter to try and improve relations with Russia, I’m for that.  The original headline states that four senators wrote a letter to the now former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson calling for arms control.  In a sad commentary on the parlous state of the U.S. media, a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson from four United States Senators dated March 8 calling for opening arms control talks with the Kremlin ASAP is nowhere to be found in mainstream newspapers a day after its release on the Senate home page of one of the authors, Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). Nothing in the New York Times.  Nothing in the Washington Post.  And so, it is left to alternative media to bring to the attention of its readership a major development in domestic politics, a significant change in what its own senior politicians are saying should be done about Russia that was brought to our attention by …..the Russian mainstream media including the agency RIA Novosti, RBK, Tass within hours of initial posting.  What we have is, first, a genuine man bites dog story.  Two of the senators who penned the letter, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), have in recent months been among the most vociferous promoters of the unproven allegations of Trump collusion with the Russians. Now they are putting aside for the moment their attacks on Trump and members of his entourage who dared shake hands or share a joke with a Russian ambassador. They are openly calling upon the Secretary of State to send U.S. personnel to negotiate with Putin’s minions over our survival on this planet.  Does Trump have anything against this?  

Rhapsody in Black featured March of 1959.  They played the original “Bad Boy” and a different version of “Big Boy Pete” (not the Olympics) and “Charlie Brown” and “You’re So Fine” (XERB) and “I’ve Had It” from the KRTH hit parade.  They played “The Cha Cha Cha” by Sam Cooke and an updated version of that “Wine, Wine, Wine” song.  They played the Hank Ballard version of “The Twist” and they played “The Happy Organ”.  There were a lot of obscure songs.  I had it on till four.  I never turned the TV on till after dinner.  We had two pieces of pepperoni pizza for dinner with a green salad.  We had a banana, and not banana pudding for dessert.  I went to the liquor store and got a small thing of instant coffee and vanilla Clippers.  Once again I declined getting rolls, but I still have a dollar left to spend.  

"Free Trade" Is a Pure Corporate Con-job!

Stripped of lofty-sounding abstractions such as comparative advantage, trade boils down to four Darwinian goals:

1. Find foreign markets to absorb excess production, i.e. where excess production can be dumped.

2. Extract foreign resources at low prices.

3. Deny geopolitical rivals access to these resources.

4. Open foreign markets to domestic capital and credit so domestic capital can buy up all the productive assets and resources, a dynamic I explained last week in Forget “Free Trade”–It’s All About Capital Flows.

All the blather about “free trade” is window dressing and propaganda. Nobody believes in risking completely free trade; to do so would be to open the doors to foreign domination of key resources, assets and markets.

Trade is all about securing advantages in a Darwinian struggle to achieve or maintain dominance. As I pointed out back in 2005, the savings accrued by consumers due to opening trade with China were estimated at $100 billion over 27 years (1978 to 2005), while corporate profits expanded by trillions of dollars.

China Trade Surplus: Gusher Profits for U.S. Corporations (August 13, 2005)

In other words, consumers got a nickel of savings while corporations banked a dollar of pure profit as sticker prices barely budged while input costs plummeted. Corporations pocketed the difference, not consumers.

As longtime correspondent Chad D. noted in response to my essay on capital flows, restricting trade may be one of the few ways smaller nations have to avoid their resources and assets being swallowed up by mobile capital flowing out of nations with virtually unlimited credit (the US, the EU, China and Japan).

 After this I read more of “A Brief History of Time”.   I started in chapter four where I left off and I mused over the material.  Einstein thinks like me in that “God doesn’t play dice”.  God doesn’t leave things to chance.  Actually the main thing behind the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is that electrons are just too small for us to correctly measure them.  Chapter five was where the reading really got tough.  They began talking about quarks and “Up” and “Down” and “Spin”.  I still don’t understand “Spin”.  They spoke of quarks as coming in colors when they are too small to register color.  Chapter Six was “Black Holes” and I’m going to have to go more in depth there. 

I had Norman Goldman on today.  This is Monday March 12, 2018 after dinner.  Norman talked about voluntary contract rescission.  This is where both parties could agree not to go ahead with a contract.  Stormy Daniels wants to rescind her contract with Donald Trump and his attornies so is endeavoring to give back the hush money she paid to that guy, and then would be free to tell her story on Sixty Minutes.  Sixty Minutes has already taped the interview and apparently were going to show it last Sunday but didn’t.  Instead they had a thing on immigration and the border patrol.  It was a revealing look at how much mistreatment occurs with people being shipped in hot trucks to this country often forced to conceal drugs in their body cavities.  The drug cartels are apparently never stronger and no matter how many checkpoints they set up north of the border to stop them, they can only stop a small handful of the convoys.  Then they had a thing on the woman head of the department of Education.  She is against all of the basic functions of the Dept of Education and rationalizes why poor school districts should be denied government funding.  She didn’t say so but it appears to be a case of survival of the fittest.

Some people go out of their way to emphasize the Jewishness of Jesus.  For instance he was named and circumcised on the eighth day like a Jew.  He was “redeemed” as the first born with two turtle doves as the Law prescribes.  Jesus said “I came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law”.   Disciples and other teachers called him “Rabi” and some say “the hem of his garment” refers to a special robe that Jewish rabbis wore.   They go so far as to quote the scripture ‘He keeps all of his bones” in the chapter in John when it refers to his crucifixion because his legs weren’t broken like the other two thieves.  He was buried on the same day as his death as the Jewish law prescribes.  He attended the Jewish feasts.   Some say that he was a Nazarite, which meant that he drank no wine, didn’t cut his hair or his beard, only ate fish and not other meats, and also couldn’t touch a dead body.  As such he wasn’t that “Revolutionary” at all.  He also seemed to follow Romans 13 meaning he thought the Roman powers were appointed by God.  And as such he paid them all due deference.  

I watched Days of our Lives.  Eve called off the marriage with Brady because Victor tipped her off the marriage was only so Brady could get control of her money.  Victor loves to make a fool out of Brady every chance he gets.  Clearly Sonny is going to remain CEO of Titan.  Rather than grovel to Eve, which he should have known would do absolutely no good.  You can’t con a con like Eve.  Instead I would have engaged in blame shifting and blamed Victor even though he wasn’t there.  It’s like Victor was setting me up only to make a fool of me.

 I watched the thing on OJ Simpson on FOX.  This is 24 year old news.  It was a disgusting thing to watch.  I guess it could be summed up as “You only kill the ones you love”.  Nicole had the misfortune to be loved more than any of the other women OJ dated including Paula Barbiari.  In 1992 Nicole got a divorce from OJ but that didn’t stop his stalking.  For a period of eight or nine months they didn’t even see each other.  But then at Nicole’s instigation they got back together.  They talked at length of the Newyears Eve bashing of 1989.  They talked of OJ hitting Nicole’s car with a baseball bat in 1986, basically just to show her who was boss.  OJ seemed to be able to dissotiate his anger from his other human interactions.  He was thus able to say “Oh that was no big thing” as though normal people murdered their ex wives and lovers every day.  

Trump Agrees to Talks with Kim Jong Um

President Trump gave his tariff speech on the radio and television today.  KNBC also carried the coverage.  Moe Kelly wanted to stress that it all depends on how the various congressional elections play out on a district by district basis.  This tariff thing may not go over well at all with a lot of them and over a hundred Republicans wrote Trump a letter telling him not to do it.  The other question is how the stock markets feel about in the coming month or two.  I think the market may well be topping out anyhow.  But they’ll blame it on this.  I’ve been wrong before about the market topping out but it has to happen sometime.  Trump is doing this ten percent aluminum tariff and 25% steel tariff “for national security reasons” and because it was one of the chief issues he campaigned on in 2016 so I guess the people want it.  But the media doesn’t back the President on these Tariffs.  But I think Trump deserves a chance to see if they work.  After all, if it would have been good enough for Sanders, it’s good enough for Trump.  Throughout history, it’s something the Republican Party has traditionally supported.  

Kim Jong Um has agreed to talks with South Korea and even President Trump.  Trump agreed to talks.  This is quite a development for sure.  It could be that all of the tough, abrasive talk between the two of them, trading insults, has somehow “worked” to get Kin Jung Um to the negotiating table.  It’s almost as though Trump and Kim are communicating on the “same level” even if it’s an elementary school level of intellect.  My motto is “Hope springs eternal” and if Trump can somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat, more power to him.   All Kim seems to want is a non aggression pact saying we won’t invade North Korea.  Kim even understands that joint military exercises between South Korea and ourselves is necessary for security.

The economy added over three hundred thousand jobs in the past month but the unemployment rate stayed stuck at 4.1%   They were over a week late releasing these economic statistics.  Thee economy is still adding jobs and at a fast rate.  It's the President's hope that this continues.

Daylight Saving's Time will start this weekend.  I think we should go back to the first Sunday in April for this to happen because that way the sun will rise before six making it before seven once we make the change.  The change congress made in 2007 was a major mistake in my opinion.  News articles still say that Daylight Saving's time is "controversial" even after all these elapsed decades.

My view of what you could call “the psychic dimension” (which we refer to as the sixth dimension) stems from an idea I’m not even sure I believe in any more where Ideas are more real than Things.  Pastors have stated that “With God, words and things are the same thing”.  God gets an Idea and he “speaks it into existence” and that’s that.  For the rest of us I’m not sure the Idea is supreme.  For a composer or an artist it might be.  But the word “idea” comes from “imaginary” and that word is based on the word “image”.   In Greek thought the hierarchy first you have the Idea as “that which has the greatest ontological importance”.  It’s necessary (for God) to have the Idea before the Thing itself.  Then in Greek thinking you have the realm of Math and Geometry.  Then you have the Thing itself.  Then fourthly we have the Image of the thing.  In my way of thinking back twelve or so years ago, there were “portals” to the psychic dimension where travel was instantaneous and things were somehow more “real” than they are here on earth.  St Paul spoke of “Being taken up to the Third Heaven”.   (There seems to be no promise in the Bible that WE actually GO to heaven ourselves)  The first heaven is that of the air and sky.  Then there is an intermediate realm called “The heavenlies” and it’s ruled by “The Powers of the Air”, which seems to refer both to angels and demons.  To St Paul this is a dangerous realm.  St Paul also believed that both Angels and Demons were dangerous.  Indeed Demons often “disguised themselves as an Angel of Light”.   I guess we are to assume that the demons spoken of in our previous posting- - are from this realm.  It’s a real that is to a degree “not real” because there is no scientific way of proving its existence.  Supposedly this “realm six” as I referred to it a dozen years ago- - was a realm where understanding was instantaneous and sudden enlightenment occurs.  My problem with this whole idea of a “sixth dimension” is that how we know all of the “images” or “ideas” or whatever- - aren’t just abstractions of our own minds and brains.   The question is whether “the sixth dimension” has existence that is independent of our being there to “believe in it”.   This is where my objectivist training comes in.  If you have to “believe in it” for it to be Real, then it really isn’t real.  (Selah)

Many of these songs are here and have been kicked off of other compilations and sometimes more than once. This is the first "official" airing for groups such as Bobby Rydel or the Tijuana brass.
