The 2024 Election Proved the 2020 Election Was Stolen

“A very odd occurrence happened between the 2020 election where Joe Biden supposedly won and the 2024 election where Donald Trump won the presidency. Somehow we had a total turnout of 18 million fewer votes cast in 2024 than in 2020. Both of those factors can’t be true and anybody with the math ability of an 8th grader should be scratching their heads.

Given the divide between Democrat and Republican voters due to the two vastly different personalities and political positions of vice president Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, people were expecting vote totals meeting or exceeding those of 2020.

One Man’s Conundrum

“…His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.”

The Face Which Tries to Look at Itself


A man interprets, “doing the Lord’s work,” as living as the example of compassion and unconditional love. The man knows that, “the ultimate answer,” is to love the Lord above everything else.
The man deems the act of loving himself as being the most selfish action a man could possibly undertake. (PROVERBS 16:5) The man, rather, deems that sacrificing himself for the sake of the happiness of others is, “doing the Lord’s work.” The man fails to actively share the love with himself which he yearns to share with others. In order to become the light of God for others, the man must learn to love the one person whom he deems to be most unworthy of such unconditional love!* This man has trained his mind to employ self-sacrifice over self-love. His neurons tend not to carve-out the necessary pathways to the doors- beyond which the candle of truth flickers relentlessly for eternity.

*The man is unforgivingly judgmental of himself.

The Equine Inactive Side of Infinity

Refers to a stagnant mental process.

Infinity expands perpetually from one point in all directions.

Example of a Horse Stuck in the Inactive Side of Infinity:

A horse who slow-walks off of the track with the intention of being near other horses who are acting-up, therefore, giving them an excuse to act-up as well.

The Attractive Dilemma

“Beautiful women do not have to work a day in their life; they simply need to charm a man who makes enough money to keep them both happy.”

Young Women- What They Want

“What is the dilemma with all of these young women being attracted to you?” Charlie asked me.

Lust

“All they want from me is sex, Charlie; … a quick night of passion of animalistic hedonism.”

Charlie smirked at me brightly.

“They are looking for that amazing action which changes their world-view.” I continued. “They are not looking for a husband to commit to or to hold on lonely nights.

What Is Your Dilemma?

We Are Surrounded By Adults Who Think Other Adults Are Authority Figures Over Each Other

The conundrum is that our fellow adults are still inundated by their childish and immature thought processes which guide their actions. Like a Christian yelling at the world to, “Repent!” I find myself screaming on the street corner, wearing a sandwich-board sign that says, “The End Is Near!” … telling my fellow man that we are all doomed to suffering and failure if we all do not collectively change our ways!


Society seems leery and scared of me. It is as if, if I genuinely be myself, people would look at me like I was dangerous and crazy.

The fact of the matter is that they are scared of their own realization of failure, that they purposely and actively deplete the value of their fellow man in order to maintain a dysfunctional status quo, therefore, lowering the worldly standard, making it easier to live at whatever quality of life they deem to be satisfactory.

Mid-Life Change

We are all simply practicing, “the art of being ourselves!”

The Second Library


I used to scribe allegories all the time. In fact, I view human interaction in an allegorical sense. This inspired creative neurons to establish pathways throughout my brain. I wrote a lot of poetry and philosophical work.

I viewed the world as an artist does and interacted with it in an, “eccentric,” way.

The Choice

It Is A Choice.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

And over all these virtues put on love,which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

COLOSSIANS 3:12-17

What is Love?

Defining Love

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8

Pass Through Darkness

“…the only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve…”

“All is good and well and right; and shall be so forever.
Through the eternal ages the light of God’s beneficence shall shine hereafter,
disclosing all,
consummating all,
rewarding all that deserve reward.
Then we shall see, what now we can only believe.
The cloud will be lifted up,
the gate of mystery be passed,
and the full light shine forever;
the light of which that of the Lodge is a symbol.

Then that which caused us trial shall yield us triumph;
and that which made our heart ache
shall fill us with gladness;
and we shall then feel that there,
as here,
the only true happiness is to learn,
to advance,
and to improve;
which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.”

Resenting the Master

Revere The Teacher With Compassion.

A Short Article For Flourishing Students:

If there comes a time when you resent your teacher, you have become your own teacher; and you must relinquish your expectations of such former teacher.

Resentment is the product of contempt and the ego; both of which are cataclysms. 

After contempt for a teaching ha been acknowledged, the ego presents itself. Regardless of the validity of the ego’s claim, the added contempt limits your judgement, creating learning barriers.

Comfort is Not Home-Base

“… Also we know that all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his purpose.

For those which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Moreover, whom he predestinated, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

Sex is only a Game for most women but seems to be the meaning of life for most men!

How many women in your circle know how to bake a loaf of bread from scratch or how to potty-train an infant?”

Two Reasons Why Women Wearing Sexy Pants Is Corrupting Our Culture.

For many women, today, sex is the only thing they have to offer!

Did women ever wear mini skirts in the 1930’s,… why not?

We are living in an overly-sexualized culture where women walk around wearing spandex- which is the equivalent to a woman wearing a short skirt in the 1930’s!

Let Us Quote:
“…I also want women to dress mosdestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”

Words Between Brothers

Are You Troubled?

As we seek council to acquire clarity amongst our confusion, the only true clarity we find can be described as a love for one’s self.

Bearing Witness

You Cannot Witness Yourself.

“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.”

Of a man who chooses not to see the light, neither all the books in the world may enlighten him; and for a man who sees the light, a single word is too much!
As we are surrounded by (and ruled by,) self-deceiving people, the only recompense is to constantly and instantly forgive them.

Be an example of the Great Light which shineth from above.

Back In The Day

This Movie

I saw this movie when I was 23 and thought, “Man, what a lunatic!”

I saw it at 33 and thought, “I mean, I guess he might have a point in there somewhere, but still – that’s insane.”

At 43, it became “Well, ok. I kind of get it, now. A bit extreme, but I get it.”

Today at 53? “I have no problem with anything this man is doing”

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.

Narcissistic Managers

The Narcissistic Boss Will:

They create an unproductive work environment, then, blame it on the employees. Over time, this drains people’s souls and creates a low-level, low-paying workplace. They take away your value on purpose, and manipulate to make it appear that they display more value than you by explaining something that is menial at best.

Ostracizing Your Fellow Man

… Being employed by men who want to do it all themselves to show you that they don’t need you, that they can do it themselves, but, more importantly, (to them,) they think they are showing you that they are tougher and better than you are; when, in actuality, they are ignorant in ostracizing the very fellow-man which they, themselves, need in order to survive!
A farm is not run by one man; and a one man farm is a lonely, pitiful situation rather than a farm.

Lack of Population Control

The issue is that none of the work that I do right now builds something for the future.
A man pays me,
and he’s done with me;
and all of my work leaves me with nothing.

It used to be,
when you work,
you were working towards something in the end- a piece of the pie;
however,
nowadays,
there is no reward-
Only thieves.

Yes, You Can

Then Jesus told his disciples,
“If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me.
For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life
for my sake
will find it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return
for his soul?

MATTHEW 16:24-36

Living the Sins of The Dead

Arrogance/Pride is the Deadly Sin which is dragging the world around.


Some would assume it is Gluttony, because there are a lot of very, very overly-obese people ambling around; and those people are also being Greedy whilst over-eating the wrong things.


Lust tends to overcrowd the minds of men and women nowadays as sex buys a woman in a pretty dress a drink while the notion of that dress purchases a man’s whims, employing a no-refund policy.


Sloth slows the feet down of the people. They trudge around, displaying no purpose or inspiration during the hours of their public day.
Wrath- the most misunderstood sin of all, seems to be many people’s unguided, “somebody is shaking the jar,” motive. It is the notion of, “social justice,” in action.

Envy imprisons the minds of the less fortunate. People view others, not knowing what others have acquired, however, they want what others have- not knowing what that is!

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.

Wordless Groans

“And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit”

“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to s0nship, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we are saved.

But hope that is seen
is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have,
we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”

ROMANS 8:22-27

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.

Phases of Mitosis

What is mitosis?

“The great majority of the cell divisions that happen in your body involve mitosis. During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells, and throughout an organism’s life, it replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones. For single-celled eukaryotes like yeast, mitotic divisions are actually a form of reproduction, adding new individuals to the population.”

The Strife of the Smart Man

My Experience:

In a world where doing wrong is seen as being correct
and where being correct is treated as being revolutionary or argumentative,
those of us who have maintained our moral rectitude currently relate less and less to our fellow humans.
I have belabored, “The Dunning Kruger Affect,” to the extent of mocking my fellow man.

It confused and angered me. I did not know how to deal with people in my daily life in a cordial way anymore.
It felt like I was surrounded by idiots and that I was the only person who cared to make myself and the world around me better.

My good friend, Don Adams, explained it to me. Don said this to me:

“You are surrounded by grown men who have child’s minds.”

Don Adams

The Pareto Principle keeps bounding around inside my head. Realizing that there is no escaping this paradigm, this reality, I have sought coping mechanisms to attempt to maintain being courteous surrounded by a world of discourteous people. I have found no useful tools to dissuade my resentful knowing of these people.

Rifleman’s Creed

“We are the masters of our enemy.”

This is my rifle.  
There are many like it,
but this one is mine.  
It is my life.  
I must master it as I must master my life.  
Without me my rifle is useless.  
Without my rifle, I am useless.        
I must fire my rifle true.  
I must shoot straighter than the enemy
who is trying to kill me.  
I must shoot him before he shoots me.  

I will.  

My rifle and I know that what counts in war
is not the rounds we fire,
the noise of our burst,
or the smoke we make.  
We know that it is the hits that count.  

We will hit.

      My rifle is human,
even as I am human,
because it is my life.  
Thus, I will learn it as a brother. 
 I will learn its weaknesses,
its strengths,
its parts,
its accessories,
its sights and its barrel.  
I will keep my rifle clean and ready,
even as I am clean and ready.  
We will become part of each other.
      Before God I swear this creed.  
My rifle and I are the defenders of my country.  

We are the masters of our enemy.  

We are the saviors of my life.

      So be it,

until victory is America’s
and there is no enemy.

Weakness

If the man ever acted the way that woman did, they would call him rude

Ignoring People

It is not normal to ignore people. It is an overt sign of disrespect.

He loaded a horse on to the trailer. As he exited the trailer, he said, “good morning!” to the driver’s girlfriend and daughter; but the women continued to lean-down petting a dog, ignoring the man.

It is the weak person’s way of seemingly maintaining dominance over other people. It is a shameful act of narcissism and selfishness. It is childish and petty. If the man ever acted the way that woman did, they would call him rude.

This is all because we live in a speculative world, and the operative people are shunned by weaker people.

more and longer right now more.
