Chip’s Brush on the Shoulder

A Year Ago, Today:

Sitting at the train station,
the woman behind me asks a friend

“How far is Christopher from here?”

Just as she said, “Christopher,”
her friend’s jacket brushed across my shoulder. …

my name is, “Christopher”!

A Note To Young Masons:

Displaying Hand-signs learned within The Lodge is weakening the Craft!
Our Cable Tow is getting tighter because of you;
Stop it!
-“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.”​ JOB 38:15-

Stop Flashing Masonic Hand Signs.

Stop flashing the sign in photos and in public, because doing so weakens the Craft, exposes the Craft and creates disharmony among those who are aware that there is a big club which they are not allowed in to. Those who are flashing the sign are, indeed, those of lower degree. If a master Mason is known to keep secrets, those who publicly display the secrets are not True Freemasons; they are only masons.

“The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.”

-JOB 38:15

Time Defined

“Time” is defined by a general feeling.
While focusing on a certain experience,
Using definable paradigms,
This creates a, “general feeling.”
When it feels like, “day,” it is “daytime.”
During the quiet, darkness of night,
you focus on the crickets, the frogs
and the smell of the air.
It feels like, “nighttime”!
Time is not linear.

“Durations of time”
are simply general feelings
compiled to create an overall feeling,
known as an, “era”.
The end of an era is simply
the end of one overall feeling
and the beginning to one, other,
particular, general feeling.

Chip Van Hassel

Inflation is a Lie.

We send, “money,” to Ukraine but send words to the Middle East. Imagine how foolish people are right now, believing that inflation is a real thing. Think about it: if we printed “too much” money, nobody would refuse it saying, “that money isn’t worth anything because there is too much it it.” … how STUPID are people to believe that “inflation,” is a cause and effect scenario? Inflation is simply lying about the value of a piece of paper and saying that a banana is worth more of those pieces of paper, as the result of having too many of those pieces of paper!

You Can’t Stay Here

“…When they treat me in a way that they would not want to be treated, themselves, then, I point out their behavior; they tend to treat me like I am incorrect, aggressive and socially inapt.”

… So I needed a place to get out of the cold for the night.
Pepe, a nice Guatemalan man, the assistant trainer for Kelly R., gave me permission to sleep in the office at the barn for one night; but he told me to be careful of the cameras, because nobody is allowed to sleep there. I slept there for two nights. Early, in the morning, after the second night,

Happiness of the Fool

Mind of Change

“…some Student of The Great Mysteries is always eventually discovered amongst the people.”

Over time, people need different types of,… religious consultants to recalibrate their mental journey. In certain locations, the people need a priest or a minister.

At other times, in other places, a shaman, or medicine man, is sought after.

As in ISAIAH 65:1, these people do not directly ask for a minister or shaman; however, some Student of The Great Mysteries is always eventually discovered amongst the people.

Minor Peace

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The loudest voice in the room is not usually the correct voice. The silence of the majority has its social benefit by virtue of compassion, however,

the silence and inaction of the majority is a fatal weapon against progress, survival and peace.

One person at a bar (a millennial,) talking loudly over others about how amazing or oppressed they are becomes annoying to the rest of the people at the bar.

It is unfortunate that society allows this!

The majority is silently annoyed, but nobody approaches the millennial to inform they that they are annoying everybody around them!
It seems, to maintain peace, the majority agrees to bear unpeaceful environments and succumb to actual abuse!

Of an entire nation aware that the government has overstepped its authority and function, no peaceful repose can be heard over the loudest, incorrect, most (not-at-peace) minority.

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

Sampson and Delilah

In the story of Sampson and Delilah, Sampson was the Judge of people. He fell in love with a prostitute named, Delilah. Delilah favored selfishness and riches over Sampson. Delilah manipulated Sampson using his love for her to reveal the secret to his strength. Since love is blind, Sampson told her his secret. Using that secret, she betrayed him by turning him over to the Philistines in exchange for twenty-eight pounds of silver.

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.

Neuro-Muscle Memory

Mental processes induce physical processes.
Example:
Being annoyed tenses muscles.
Allowing yourself to stew in annoyance creates muscle memory which becomes physically stressful.

Losing to Gain

“you have to ‘lose your mind’
before you can come to your senses.”

“You now see everything through a veil of associations
about things,
projected over a direct,
simple awareness.
‘You’ve seen it all before’:
it’s like watching a movie for the twentieth time.
You see only memory of things,
so you become bored,
trapped in your mind.
This is why you have to ‘lose your mind’
before you can come to your senses.”

A Dent of Deed

…”the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.”…

It starts with the in-breath and begins in the out-breath.
The continuous cycle is it’s own revolution,
it’s own change.
Hardened by it’s own hardness,
the body, the mind, the spirit,
flows as does water.
Water can wear rock away
even though rock can stop water.
Perserverence of the flow
proves phusical changd-
Maybe just a dent,
of deed.

and she had angry eyes.

She was pissed off.

A Crossed Sojourn

Sharing Thoughts With Elon Musk

“Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against consciousness expansion.”

The only danger we face in life is acceptance of any way other than the way of the individual. As a doormat cannot wipe its own feet on itself, the common man can only be common when he accepts the norm. Group mentality is the monarchy of the new era, and freedom is the new terrorist against positive consciousness expansion. The way to change reality is to Be the change within one’s own, individual mind.

Chip Van Hassel

We will never convince the people as a group; we can only convince the people by being an example for the group to follow. To follow the group is to be a lemming jumping off of the cliff.

To accept the common man's reality is an individual choice to sleep. To awaken is the greater energy, tapped-in to by free thought and purposeful action. 

Wealth can only be distributed when there is a definition of, “wealth”. Distribution only occurs when there are those who distribute. Subtract “wealth,” from the equation; and subtract distribution from common man’s mentality, and the true answer becomes screamingly apparent.

Modern man- the evolutionary betrayer.

Individuals who are free thinkers will be ridiculed by their current peers, only to be recognized for their genius long, long after their deaths.

Society is never ready for the truth. Positive thought is always ready for society.
