Viruses don’t consume
food or excrete waste like normal cells do but only reproduce their
patterns. So religion is like a thought
virus. It has no substance and isn’t
really a part of the material world yet it affects real people for good or
bad. Cancer like viruses, is also here
for one thing and that’s to reproduce itself.
Chuck Smith considers this ability to “reproduce” or replicate itself as
a great virtue. But as I said in my book
in 1980 “Nobody is going to start a cancer cell bank”. As I said then “If Christians were orange
trees they would be great at reproducing other orange trees not so hot on
actually bearing actual fruit of oranges”.
Normally one considers the essence of orange trees as producing oranges,
and this they don’t do. But Thom Hartman echoed this idea that certain
people were “cancers on the fabric of politics”. Hartman goes on to explain that an amoeba is
single cell. But most multi cell
organisms have to learn to work together for the sake of the organism. But cancer doesn’t do this. I think the whole tea party movement is a
cancer on the fabric of American consciousness.
Their whole philosophy if boiled down to be one of leeching as much of
the wealth of the average American and giving nothing back but only using money
to further the cause of evil and oppressing of others. So it bothers me that Paul might consider it
his God given duty to give to groups that only want to oppress the poor and
further line the pockets of the rich.
All the while he has a brother ling in poverty and he seems to be of no
consequence. Christians consider war as
one of their highest goals along with oppression of the poor and minorities and
other unpopular groups. Also these tea
party groups are experts at being sheer assholes- - when they express
themselves.
There is a story that
Bill Cosby got his qualudes he gives to women – from a gynecologist. And the doctor knew he didn’t take them
himself. And he asked Cosby about it and
Cosby said “No, I don’t take qualudes because they make me really sleepy”. That would be some Saturday Night Live gag-
- but if the conversation actually happened it’d be amazing!
Tom Brady had his four
week suspension upheld a few days ago.
So Tom is going to have to curtail his affair with his under-inflated
balls. Tom Brady had a friend destroy
his cell phone with ten thousand (?) text messages on it that would be evidence
in “deflate-gate”. Well you can’t win
them all. I guess he’ll learn his lesson
and not try to destroy evidence again.
Now Donald Trump says
Sarah Palin would make a nice addition to his cabinet. Stephanie is trying to revive Sarah Palin as
a comic political figure to kick around a little more. Trump remains up in the polls despite his
remarks about John Mc Cain which only goes to show that in an electorate full
of major assholes, Trump wins by being king of the assholes. Donald Trump is under suspicion for raping
his first wife Ivana Trump. The two had
a very public divorce in 1989. Apparently back then Ivanna said in a deposition that Donald had raped her. Now Ivanna denounces what she said in that sworn - - deposition saying she is solidly behind her ex husband. But then again - "money talks". Back in
those days there were laws that said that a husband could never be charged with
raping his wife. It’s all back to that
women are chattel thing. It’s like wife
beating was legal is the stick used to beat her with was no bigger around than
a man’s thumb. But if Trump says he didn’t
do it I believe him. Maybe Ivana made up the charge in the anger of the moment. Apparently his
attorney made some confused remarks that only made the issue work. The debates are less than two weeks away.
Now there is a story about killing Cecil the
Lion, who is beloved by the people of Zimbobwe.
This dentist cut his head off and skinned him. Since he was the alpha lion, the next alpha
lion to take over will kill his cubs, as is the custom. Not to be sexist in reverse or anything but it's kind of a male thing to "kill something" and present it to their mate or whatever as some trophy of their valor. Marolyn Monroe said to Clark gable in "The Missfits" why do you just enjoy "Watching something die" and Gable said to her at the end of the movie "I guess I need to find another way to express my masculinity". Of course if it isn't lions it's Indians, or "Coons" (negros) or it's Palistinians or Indians or maybe it's shooting moose from a helicopter with a fifty caliber AR 15. This whole ideas of killing off the children of your rivals goes back to the Bible where the author of Samuel seems to take pleasure that the children of King Saul were killed.
The blog today started off as bemoaning the
fact that the United States has started so many wars since WW II. But I watched two long segments of one of the
most enlightened guys I’ve seen in a long time.
He says that many of these “New Age” religions encourage passivity. It’s almost seeking salvation from passivity
and ignoring the problems of the world.
This failure to consider cause and effect has always bothered me about
so much of religion. And I’d rather not
hear about talking serpants in a garden with two nude people in it. This guy says that to ignore the negative is
almost to insure that what you surpress will come to pass. His three laws of karma are different from
the Federation. To him the three laws of
karma are Mind, Heart (or emotion) and Action as instigated by Free Will. In his frame of the world you are free to
exercise Free Will but you can’t violate natural law- - and that sooner or
later the universe will pay you back.
But it won’t do it right away because it takes time for the universe to
absorb your Right or Wrong action and make adjustments according. Like my writing he speaks of the law - - or
World of Effect, which is the Natural World as we know it. You can’t change the past, you can only
isolate causes. Indeed the World as we
see it- - with all its evil IS “Truth”.
And so you can’t deny its reality. But relying on "this world" which is the past up to the present moment - won't "save you". The world of Cause, according to this author is the world of Mind and Will, and pertains to the future from this present moment. Only things done from this present moment, with the facts as they are, will bring about change. But the change has to be "earned", so to speak. Receiving free gifts such as free energy or world peace or UFO
civilizations offering “full disclosure’ won’t happen in the continued presence
of injustices in the world such as slavery or starting foreign conflicts and
offering lame excuses for what you did of your own volition. He spoke of “The Eighth Circle” called CARE
meaning “What do you CARE about enough to focus your mind and actions twords
changing. Without this willfull focus of
mine and will- - the change you seek won’t come. There was an interesting clover leaf style
chart showing six smaller circles arranged in the shape of a circle, and a
seventh inner circle intersecting a bunch of lines from the other circle. The eight circle is what encompasses all the
other circles and he spoke of this as the “G” in the Free Mason thing. The G could stand for “God” but it’s really
the creative or genitive principle.
I’ve seen this lethargy creep into people’s thinking even like Stephanie
Miller or Randy Rhodes. There is almost
this “meme” or notion, for instance by Hillary supporters of “You’ll never be
able to do it all- - so why even try.
Why don’t you just give up and vote for Hillary before you even start
and save yourself a lot of energy and frustration. My philosophy is “It’s better to have tried
and failed rather than to never have tried at all” because at least that way
you learn things along the way. You
might even learn a thing or two about all these Causes we’ve been talking
about. There is an old saying in the stock market,
“Money knows”. And if you “meddle with
the primal forces of nature” like in Network- - and tinker with the free
market- - you do so at your peril. For
instance if you want to keep houses selling for $400,000 but the market is
showing signs of falling, you can’t just bring in people or government to buy
up homes for four hundred thousand- - -
hoping to “restore confidence” like in Communist china you stop trading when
stocks fall too far. Because since money
knows- - - that people seek “feedback” when setting prices for selling
something. And if they sense the market
is going down they are even more inclined to “unload this dud” if someone
offers them instant money. And the next
person sees this and is thinking these negative thoughts also about the economy
so he wants to sell his house right away.
At some point sooner than later- - the government will be able to
maintain the price of $400,00 and prices will begin spiraling downward. Glenda was saying some new sonogram or
something said her cancer was worse than she ever imagined. But the way I look at it- - she’s alive and
active and managing- - and her attitude is amazingly good. So who’s to say some sort of miracle can’t
take place. They said she was too sick
for chemotherapy and she’d spend her last days miserable. Larry lent me cigarette number four and just
before then I was thinking about how cigarettes cause lung cancer and how that
is not a sudden thing. It isn’t as
though you do something wrong and every time exactly one minute later you get
stung by a bee. If that happened you’d
see the cause and effect clearly.
