The Difference Between a Blog Page and a Blog Post

“Posts are the pieces of art which you put onto canvas.”

Bread and Butter


Pages are the bread.

Posts are the butter.

You always put your butter on top of your bread.

You never put your bread on top of  your butter!



This is NOT the End Times

People say, “We are living in the, “End Times.”

They say this in result to observing the behavior of others around them.

Wrong is correct these days;
the truth is feared.

In the Biblical vibe, people see light as darkness and darkness as light today.

EZEKIEL 22:25-30

“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”

“The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice.”

Holding Both Science and Religion Accountable

“…it renders everybody equally responsible for the structure adopted by the group…”

If both
Science and Religion
have become a disservice,
What is left?

Chip Van Hassel

To allow “scientists,”
to retain the privilege which
they have gained
in some measure over time,
without holding individual scientists accountable for their words
would accomplish
these two things:
1. It would render science a disservice.
2. It would render society a disservice.

The Status Quo Is Never The Final Solution

“Even from an emotionless, pure utilitarian position we should aspire to make a world as far from slavery as possible, where everyone has sufficient opportunity to achieve…”

“Today thousands of pure geniuses die unknown to the world in the infinite sweatshops out there.

Even from an emotionless, pure utilitarian position we should aspire to make a world as far from slavery as possible, where everyone has sufficient opportunity to achieve what they want.
This will benefit everyone from the fruits of innovation.

The economic institutions we maintained then, and even what we have now,
have prevented
and will continue to prevent us from achieving this equity however…”

“If you follow what’s meaningful and you do it honestly,

The World Around Us

“…There is a secret In the simplest things, 
a wonder in the plainest…”


“A world of spiritual objects, influences,
and relations lies around us all.
We all vaguely deem it to be so;
but he only lives a charmed life,
like that of genius and poetic inspiration,
who communes with the spiritual scene around him,
hears the voice of the spirit in every sound,
sees its signs in every passing form of things,
and feels its impulse
in all action,
passion,
and being.

Very near to us lies the mines of wisdom;
unsuspected they lie all around us.
There is a secret In the simplest things,
a wonder in the plainest,
a charm in the dullest.”

Albert Pike

Duty of the Master

“…I am neither the champion nor the apologist of our Society; and that my opinion of its merits is the less liable to the imputation of partiality that I do not attempt to conceal or palliate the defects it is our common object to correct.”

Cigar in the 1995 Breeders’ Cup

“…followed by Tinner’s Way and Concern is still last; three furlongs to go. CIGAR!!! Cigar Makes His Move; and he Sweeps to the lead with a dramatic rush!”

Allen Paulson named most of his racehorses after aircraft check points and aviation terms.

“Cigar,” is a mnemonic that refers to a pre-takeoff checklist performed by Untied States Air Force pilots. It stands for:

• Controls
• Instruments
• Gas
• Airplane secure
• Run-up.

About James Madison

“…Madison was the correlation between education and liberty. He famously wrote,

‘Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw light over the public mind, which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.’”

Shaolin Monks’ Celibacy

As the Monk chooses celibacy,
his focus shifts.

His eyes are no longer
clouded-over
by selfish yearnings
of lust.

His newly-found perception
differs from that of the laymen’s’;

for the monk is removed from selfish ambition.
{Therefore,}

The Monk’s frequency is non-combative.

Non-combativeness
nullifies the natural,
aggressive

The Occasion Always Comes to Us

“The hour of proving one’s self is always afoot!”
-Chip Van Hassel

“The million occasions
will come to us all,
in the ordinary paths of our life,
in our homes,
and by our firesides,
wherein we may act as nobly,
as if, all our life long,
we led armies,
sat in senates,
or visited beds of sickness and pain.
Varying every hour,
the million occasions will come
in which we may

restrain our passions,
subdue our hearts to gentleness
and patience,
resign our own interest for another’s advantage,
speak words of kindness and wisdom,
raise the fallen,
cheer the fainting and sick in spirit,
and soften and assuage the weariness and bitterness
of their mortal lot.”

Albert Pike

Stability

“Want” and “need” know nothing of love.

Changing your life means Doing what is necessary.

Human nature is funny
in that two people can read
the same words on the page,
and, even though they are on the same page,
they still read the words differently.

There is always an independent variable-
which is not open for interpretation.

The soul
deep down
in a person’s heart

The Truth Revealed:

“In the Mundane…”

“…the truth of our belief is revealed

in history,
within the contours of the mundane,
and not through cosmic interruptions
in the flow of time.

Revelation comes to us
ambiguously.
Certitude and clarity
are achieved only
in hindsight,
and even then

provisionally.”

James Carroll

Narcissists use Triangulation

Covert Narcissists use two other people to abuse their victim.

They also abuse animals in the process of abusing their human victims.

Dakkuan

“A narcissist,
especially a
covert kind,
will use triangulation
often during their abusive actions. It’s a way to cover
who they really are.

This happens when the victim starts to figure out the true identity of the narcissist.

It’s almost a retaliation from being noticed, actually.”

Nietzsche and Jung Describe “The Three Stages Of Life”

The Three Stages Of Life

“…Nietzsche and Jung on the three metamorphoses of the spirit.

There is a passage in ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ in which Friedrich Nietzsche describes the spiritual evolution of man from childhood to old age.

He begins the passage by showing how a child spends his first years as a collector of duties, traumas and the word ‘No’, and how he resembles that of a camel, a beast of burden who must carry whatever is thrown onto its back.

A Flattering Mouth Works Ruin.

“Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
    is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
18 Like a maniac shooting
    flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
    and says, “I was only joking!”

Narcissists Use the Word, “I,” instead of, “we”.

A leader who says, “I,” instead of, “We,” is not a leader, but a dictator- a privateer.

It all started when the narcissist refused to communicate with one of her coworkers.
In doing that, she took away her own ability
to speak passive-aggressively
while telling the victim which horse they were getting on.
The narcissist used the set-list to abuse the victim before every, single horse
using micro-aggressions.

That day when the micro-aggression tool was no longer employable,
the Narcissist envoked the flying monkeys
and the crazy-making
routine.

When those did not work,
the Narcissist lost her composure,
and her true self was revealed.

Narcissism: The Bad Rider Speed/Slow Game

A narcissist will threaten their boss to quit and hold that over their boss’s head if the boss does not allow the narcissist to 
Verbally Abuse their coworkers.

The narcissist destroys everybody who refuses to put up with their petty behavior.

What the hell is this thing where we Rush to be the first to be tacked-up and out the door,
Only to walk as slowly
as equinely possible
to and from the track?

And, then,
Rush to be the first to be tacked-up and out the door, again,
only to Never employ the Working Walk?

What exactly the hell
is that?

Read the rest.

Sober Judgement

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Part of the Dough

“If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”

ROMANS 11: 16-18
