This looks to be the prose version of last week’s Wilde poetry prescription – just perfect for those of us for whom – for some odd, unfortunate reason – poetry just does not “work” – printing it out now to read tonight – thanks!

“And, doubtless, my going on this whaling voyage formed part of the grand programme of Providence that was drawn up a long time ago. It came in as a sort of brief interlude and solo between more extensive performances. I take it that this part of the bill must have run something like this :—

‘Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United States.

‘WHALING VOYAGE BY ONE ISMAEL.

‘BLOODY BATTLE IN AFGHANISTAN.’

~ Moby Dick (p. 6)

[…] Many of us posting messages here also would like to fully spell out such statements as: ‘That arrogant and snotty-nosed little twit Mark the Suckerturd is a F***ing piece of **it. The boy is probably an illegitimate B*****d, may God Da** that turd for eternity! … .’ (Three or four other spicy remarks deleted, you get the idea – I trust.) Everything you type here can and will* be used against this effort, and it could be used against you personally. * The asterick in the preceding sentence refers to this scenario: In the event you should somehow get the attention of the Jabs-Gestapo and end up being called to answer for your “Vaxx hesitancy” postings online, well … . Just think it through for yourself. To prevail in this War against Humankind, insults and threats need to be replaced with solid and specific information. Never do you want to lower yourself to their level. Demonstrate a much higher order of character by the things you do and say. Perhaps some people making posts here were tricked (propaganda s-advertisements,) forced (eg. company policy and so forth) coerced or whatever into doing so. Saucing down your comments here (with profanity) is definitely tempting. Instead, spend your effort and time collecting and sharing information with family, friends and others. Learn about the history of the Nuremberg Tribunals and memorize the Nuremberg Code. Learn about and memorize the history of the 1972 UN Geneva Convention along with specific key points from the final outcomes of the convention. Further, know that there is US Federal Law which totally prevents the Vaxx-Gestapo from forced ‘medical treatments.’ Learn about US Code(2) Title 42 The Public Health, Section 1983 – Civil action for Deprivation of Rights. Memorize the key points. Or, even better keep a note card with you. Just in case you need to put a stop to the above-mentioned Vx.-Gestapo. Most states have law(s) which refer to US law, making Federal law ‘superior.’ Within USCode (2), Title 42 there is another section which provides for remedies (counter-action -lawful and legal as in Lawsuits) in the event of “Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law.” It is thanks to Jon R. that I’ve learned many of these details. Find the information which applies best in your own situation – including Titles, Sections and subsections which apply to you in your own State. Alongside the doorway into your home you could keep a summary in case the V(exed) Gestapo shows up. (Please pardon me. The sarcasm keeps running through my mind and flowing down to my fingers which are doing the typing.) What we want to do is prevail. Then there will be endless work needed to attempt to clean up the messes that this nonsense Convid19{84} will have created. Notice: I am not an attorney and nothing in this post is to be construed as “legal” advice in any way, shape, or fashion. This is simply one olderish fellow’s effort to guide others to maintain their own health and well-being.

Right now, most of us already know there is a team of doctors and lawyers preparing or already pursuing a U.S. Federal Lawsuit to put an end to the (vexxing) Jabs. Let them handle the heavy, heavy lifting. Of course courts move slowly and the outcome is unknown. Meanwhile, protect yourself and your family as best you can. OK, next time I plan to share some much more uplifting words. Please bear with the angst.

“You need the sense of the poetic to GO FARTHER. No one seems to realize I didn’t make humans limited creatures. I gave them all doorways into the infinite, without me knowing the whole or even half of what that was’.”

Most of us have seen a tug-of-war rope contest where lots of people on one side and lots of people on the other side are pulling like mad to win the battle and prevail over the opposing force.

That is what is going on today. Humanity is caught in the middle of the tug-rope in a massive tug-of-war between those who want to snuff what it means to be human and those who desperately want to retain the divine and free nature that was bred into humanity from the beginning of Time.

Poets and mystics and just every day regular people like freedom and living with the endless horizons surrounding us of what is possible in every direction if only we’d have to courage to venture out there.

But there are powerful forces that want to crush the life out of poets and mystics and everyday people. They not only do not freedom for people, They don’t even want… people at all.

To be a Poet today is not just to be creative and courageous and spontaneous and free. A Poet must be a Warrior who stands up to all the massive hurricane forces that are trying to level Him or Her and drive them into the dust. A Poet must be a fighter with the strength and tenacity to withstand the heaviest punches of all the Dark Forces that come at Him or Her with the intensity and lethal power of the most savage beasts.

And what else must be erased besides the Poet? The whole notion of Imagination and Magic. You don’t need Imagination and Magic to be a soulless cog in a wheel serving agendas and Forces you don’t understand or know about as those with one horrid future vision are lusting for. The ideas of Imagination and Magic are in the middle of that tug-of-war rope bitter contest underway today as well.

And the side that wins that Eternal Rope Struggle will determine and define Humanity for the ages. Pull that rope with all you’ve got. It may be the last chance you’ll ever get.

Greetings to all. Thank you, Jon, for sharing the segment from “The Magician Awakes”. I very much relate to ‘devouring books’ mostly, in my own timeline, before age 30. Not being very familiar with seafaring terms, I read Moby Dick and did not entirely catch all of the nuances. Surely the story behind the story was philosophical, my middle school teachers told us that, yet I had moved on to other books. The notion of those in control (of earth), are determined to organize, organize, organize rings so many bells. Then eventually freedom is steamrolled so the truly adventurous ones lose interest and no longer wish to ‘return.’ I was talking with a sister, lamenting the encroaching globalist, socialist scenario, and then looked around to see trees, bushes, flowers, lawns and homes. As the past year and a half or so has unfolded I find myself often marveling in the embrace of nature. Perhaps we may be among those who no longer choose to return. I’m sharing these words this morning with a reminder to all genuine people similar to myself. If you are able, get outside, soak in the fullness and beauty of the natural world. Enjoy, Love, and Pray.

Nice…beneath any system is human empathy and caring for our fellow travelers. If we don’t have that we don’t have a humanity that is worth a plugged nickel. Some of our fellow travelers are dead but their words still travel with us in our physical and mental lives. Some of those words, poems about life, are well worth pondering as wheat from the chafe. Other words propel ideas that are poison and bring forth slavery of the soul and all else. Words like stakeholder capitalism and its derivatives, the 4IR, Human capital markets and the Internet of (blockchained)Bodies, social impact bonds, pay for success,the gameification of a virtual reality that encompasses everything from education [sic] to a transhuman world wherein the eventuality is the blending of all human carbon based life with a silicon version. The ultimate goal of turning off any carbon based life form and then simulating all life in a simulated reality. That is where the system is taking humanity and perhaps if we are to be a failed species this is for the better?

WOW !!!

I’ve gotta, gotta get out my dusty copy for a new-read. In my youth, I read it as merely an exciting ocean tussle betwixt man & beast. This new venture will prove most interesting.

THANK YOU.
Always
