Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself

Let’s talk a little about the topic of Fear.  People are afraid of different things.  How about seeing the fire burning low and getting a bottle of rubbing alcohol and dousing the burning embers to get the fire going, and your little brother exclaims “It could explode” but of course you know it won’t.  Someone gave you a little blue pill they told you was LSD.  You take it home and mention it to your brothers.  They begin yelling at you and just in a fit of chutzbah, you down the pill just to “show them”.  Fortunately, nothing happens.  How about standing on an outcropping of rock a few yards wide that’s slanting downward tword a sheer drop of hundreds of feet, up in the mountains.  Another may look at where you are and perceive Danger but you in the spot you’re in don’t perceive yourself as being in danger.  Sure if the rock was slippery or something - - but you trust granite and know that it has traction.  How about something simpler.  Wadding up a Jury duty summons and throwing it in the trash. Franklin Roosevelt declared back in the depths of the great depression ‘We have nothing to fear except fear itself”.  Many people including me at one time thought this remark referred to Adolph Hitler, but it doesn’t.  Ghandi erred when he declared “Brits shouldn’t fear a Nazi invasion of their land”.  But here in this example I just gave, the truth spoken is a literal one.  We know that Fear in the abstract, is about the worst Enemy a free market economy will ever face.  And this great Truth is that we SHOULD indeed fear “fear itself” because it is the one thing that will ruin the economic recovery and paralyzing the government from taken the measures needed for the economic recovery.  We see this sort of fear being peddled now of course by the Tea Party blocking any and all jobs bills, or even the immigration bill which they falsely complain will drive down the wage base.  I guess the question is who and what you should fear and who or what you shouldn’t.  For instance Fredric K Price used to say that he stands on the foundation of Jesus’ promises to heal.  That is until his wife developed cancer.  Then he had to modify his position.  I guess I’m not going to put myself in the position of “standing” on anything where all that the Devil need to do and wave his hand and make it all go away.  People say not to trust in money.  But for the average Joe out there, they do better to trust in money than to trust their own profession of faith, which is what you are instructed to do.  You are taught literally to trust in your OWN declaration which they brainwashed you into believing to begin with.  I’m like that KTLK lady this morning.  If someone is trying a little too hard to cram a particular belief down my throat I’m going to resist it and fight back, if possible.  The thing is – Satan has never lost a contest he considered a key issue that he win.  God cannot say the same thing.  Not by a long shot.  Satan can outlast God in most any “Indian wrestling” contest.  Satan doesn’t view “losing’ as an option.  The Devil is one person who declares “I will not lose” and then lives up to his word.  God “as long as I have known him” has never had that kind of staying power.  And remember - - saying “I stand on my Faith” is the ultimate form of narcicism - - because you deny all the rest of Reality even when it’s biting you in the ass.  When you think about it (a thousand pardons to John Lennon) but perhaps we should “Give Peace a Chance” when it comes to “making peace” with The Lord of this World.  For instance I’ve felt at times the “weather gods” were working on my behalf.  Some people can be good luck charms.  I know enough about the activities of demons, at least DES RHO demons to know that when certain people are around- - all activity ceases - - and they scatter like cockroaches in the light.  At times I honestly don’t know when and when I would not be afraid because you can’t predict your reaction to something you’ve never encountered before.  Other people fall into that verbal trap.  I won't.  Speaking of verbal surpurlatives like Judy saying she'd never hire me as an accountant because she has nurtured this belief that I have a bad record handeling money, which is False.  Well OK, while we're throwing mud around if I were that Potter guy from "It's a Wonderful Life" I wouldn't hire Jesus Christ as my property manager.  Because if a squatter with a reputation of "causing nothing but trouble everywhere he goes", and long ago evicted, was still squatting on someone's land, someone who paid Me (Potter) good money for the land rental and looked to Me to live up to contractual implied obligations, Jesus would just let him remain and get on the radio and yammer away on the radio about his "rights to be there" when one word from him would see him Gone.  Potter would have the good business sense not to keep such a poor manager like that on his payroll.

But now let’s talk about Angelina Jolee or whoever had that breast surgery she didn’t need.  Melissa Ethridge apparently tweeted on Facebook that Angelina was letting herself be ruled by fear and “Countless women have this cancer gene and never develop cancer.  But if you let fear rule your lives you are forever going to be running from it.”.  “You see, fear can switch certain genes on or off”.   These are sentaments I already had but didn’t have the boldness to put into print till now.  Here is a way of looking at it objectively.  If FEAR comes from you yourself- - then that fear can never be greater than You are and you can never learn from something inferior to you particularly if it’s born out of a mental aberration.  (Now I’m sounding like L Ron Hubbard)   Fred Price would respond to me “Oh- - you’re just more afraid of going to the doctor and having surgery than you are afraid of the cancer”.   The thing is unlike others I will “Own” a statement.  This is exactly how it is.  I know enough about hospitals to know how often things go wrong or how imcompetent doctors can be.  Judy can tell you stories.  I’ve seen the Hollywood movies.  Sometimes I thank God that (OK it’s an expression) that I am not plagued by the many fears of Born Again people.  Judy in her anxt and voice agitation really is afraid of all Islamic people.  She says that “All Islamic people are Violent and they can’t help it because it’s in their very genetics” as is “religion” were in the genes.  I don’t see it that way at all.  Sure there are cultures where fighting is more “socially acceptable” than other cultures, but it’s from their environment and “learned behavior’.  A lot of my own behavior is “learned behavior”.  Like evolution itself it survives because it “works’ better than any other mode of conduct at the moment.  However I’m not saying that one should abandon all fear.  For instance this whole fear of government snooping.  Some say that it’s pointless to fear something you don’t even know for sure.  I turn the thing around.  I can’t feel Safe about something I don’t know”.  After all, you wouldn’t let a baby sitter into your house to watch your kids that you knew nothing about.  I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to know at least “WHICH of our liberties- - we are being asked to give up by the government”.  I hardly see how it can be “classified information” to be told THAT our government is doing something with which, if we had our Choice at all, we wouldn’t give them permission to do.

People misuse the concept of Faith.  I say that Works are a more sure thing for us to be “Justified” by, to use Biblical speak, rather than Faith.  My text is James where he states that man is justified by his Works.  For instance- - if my friend whom I know all too well, wants to borrow fifty dollars because he needs it now for some big purchase- - - I may resist the idea and others may overhear me expressing my doubts.  But if I then go ahead and Give him the money he asked for that ENDS all discussion about my “Doubts” right there.  Because my Works override anything I might be thinking or expressing verbally.  Allow me to use a more graphic example General Patton style.  One you won’t forget.  You know that story about the guy at Niagara falls who dares people to get in a wheel barrel and let him ride them on a rope to the other side.  Suppose one guy pops up out of nowhere- - and verbally jousts with the guy and saying ‘Yes I believe it’s possible for you to do it, but I am not going to do it”.  The other guy with the wheel barrel will carry on about what a coward and a hypocrite I am - - yadda yadda yadda.  Now let’s suppose I say resigningly “OK I’ll get in the darned wheel barrel”.  And the guy begins wheeling me across and the unthinkable happens and the wheel barrel goes off the rope- - and the guy barely escapes with his life holding on and getting back to shore white as a sheet.  You know the first thing out of his mouth in Fred Price fashion will be “Well you know everything has it’s balance in scripture.  And the guy lost his life because he presumed too strongly on the path of Faith, and this is always a danger- - yadda yadda yadda.  And he will be shedding crocodile tears for the victim.  But suppose the guy in the barrel was really Clark Kent and after lying on the rocks a few minutes- - stands up and flies up to the surface and points at his finger at the guy saying “You do you feel about your wise ass promises now?”  The guy of course will be white as a sheet and probably be so scared that he’ll shit in his pands.  After all- - inwardly he’s thinking “This wasn’t supposed to happen.  Not THIS.  If anybody Died- - they were supposed to STAY dead so I could properly mourn then - - yadda yadda yadda”.    I’m saying that Christian somehow some way will be undone completely - - by some moment- - some “comeuppance” very much like this.  A word to the wise.  Think about it.

Now the Texas legislature is looking at a whole other dimension of “kitty porn” in the guise of fifteen week old masturbating male fetuses.  I submit if fetuses that young can feel things - - then Chuck Smith is in error when he says Jewish babies don't feel pain on the Eight Day when you know what happens to them.  Stephanie Miller says “Just because you see one with its hand between its legs don’t go assuming”.   Well sure, maybe he’s just searching for the latch that pushes the seat back.  This is Tuesday morning June 18, 2013 and I slept well last night, and I didn’t even need to masturbate.  Richard Moore reluctantly gave me a Philly, and I don’t mean a Play Boy bunny.  Then I got myself in trouble with Janet by asking Mike D where he got that white cigarette from.   Said Bruce Almighty from On High that shook the Heavens "We know the Lord of this World hath declared “all those cigarettes they give out down there are nine” and a terror struck Darren ran in a frenzy through the mists being chased by growling animal sounds in total fear spawned by a Witch with a major double chin problem.  And, “Dutch was giving out cigarettes till midnight last night”.  I went down and it was the usual morning guy.  I took my meds and he gave me a cigarette.  I saw someone else out there with a Time cigarette.  I decided to turn on the Today show for regular news.  Of course President Obama is meeting with Vladimir Putin.  I don’t know if it’s a case of “I looked into his eyes and I knew that he loved the concept of freedom and liberty” like Bush said.  I would not believe a promise Putin made about Syria.  And last night we learned that the Obama girls are learning all about their Irish history.  Apparently all I need do is to make a much shorter trip to Utah to learn about mine.  We had oatmeal for breakfast and I pulled out two white sugars I had.  (“white sugar” is another of those retro-formation words)  Later we got our fried egg and hashed browns with catsup and toast with butter and jelly.  They no longer put the smiley face on the hashed browns. 

Math Moment for Slaggers.  That math teacher on the CBS drama with the high school dullards.  I can tell you the answer to adding up every number up to one hundred all together.  That would be 5,050 and the formula is simple.  Not to tread on any math genious' formula but I came up with it a few years back.  Take the high number and times it by that number plus one and divide by two.  That would be of course 10,100 divided by 2 would be 5,050.  The other point is sailient about pi - - in that it goes on forever like the circle, and contains all of your personal numbers from your locker combination to your PIN to your social security number and any other numbers relevent to your life.

This whole “I believe in Planet Truth” thing, would be music to Mal Evans’ ears, because he views the Federation as the embodiment of all Truth.  It all comes down to the credo of "That which is without Falsity is therefore perfect.  And there is that other credo that "If two things are absolutely Identical in every imaginable way, they ARE the SAME thing regardless of separation by Time and Space.  There is also the credo of "Just because nothing you Know of can varify a fact as True, this is not to say that fact is in fact Not true.  Here is another credo for you.  When most people refer to "putting things in perspective - what they mean in truth is taking them OUT of perspective.  Because each person's "own truth" is the one that's in "perspective" in their own Reality.  (Selah)  Here's another one.  Shapes can be deduced without going "to another dimension" but they cannot truely be "experianced".  Behold, Nepolian said that "history is written by the victors".  However Truth itself was dictated to a scribe by the Almighty long before you were a gleam in your father's eye.  As I have “matured’ over the years and gotten a little “Cosmic perspective” I have picked on a lot of disingenuineness in various Federation propaganda pieces.  In my own version of “the en-gram wall” this is the composite of everybody elses’ and also my own “perceptions’ of reality that all have an instant awareness of.  Not to disagree with the lady as far as "idle threats" are concerned but if it's a matter of great Moral weightiness, I think you gain credibility by giving your adversary far more "chances' than he deserves just to make it "crystal clear" to on-lookers ready to impute the worst of motives to your actions - - - the high moral ground you have staked out.  But then once you Move (take action) you never look back.  (Selah)

The problem with Stephanie and company’s take on war with Syria is that they are repeating a bunch of stale platitutes that are twelve years out of date and about another country entirely- - and the list of things not similar between Iraq and Syria are impressive if you add them all up.  For instance Iraq was a nation at peace when we invaded it.  Saddam Hussein was not a threat to any other country.  We don’t have to make up lies about a “potential” of “weapons of mass destruction”.  We know it was saran gas and that was used four times in March of this year in Syria and that it killed at least 150 people.  Also Iraq was isolated among the world’s nations.  Not even Saudi Arabia was friendly tword them.  On the contrary the Saudis were OUR allay then.  Syria has Russia and Iran and Hez Ballah, and is a direct threat to all its neighboring countries.  People need to think before they speak.  Liberals score no points in sounding like some carping “broken record” on the subject and could be accused of being “Nattering Nabobs of Negativism”.    (Selah)

 I told you the latest cyber spying thing was a bore.  But there was that amendment to the immigration bill where the republican man made some kind of case for arresting aliens and holding them for whatever.  But the democratic response from the other side was a woman who said that amendments like these were the exact sort of “poison pill’ that would kill the legialation.  The point was made by somebody that the police don’t want to double as border agents because it ruins police cooperation and relations with minorities in solving neighborhood crimes, because minorities don’t dare to call up and report a crime they see for fear of deportation.  I had some time on my hands before dinner and Janet said to Bill ‘Charlie wants a cigarette; give him one” and Bill gave me a white cigarette.

Dinner was pretty good actually.  It was chicken teriyaki I mixed with the rice, and it had a nice rich flavor.  We had that iced cake from Friday for desert.  Janet was again in generous moods with people.  After dinner at some point I asked Bill for another cigarette, which he gave me.  Janet had apparently given him part of a red pack.  But down stairs in the med room “Dutch” had capichinos for us as well as chocolates.  But before that even Janet made me a nice strong cup of instant coffee.  But it wasn’t till later that I actually went down for my medication from “Dutch’ and asked for and got a cigarette.  At some point I got on computer and looked up the “ten top temptations songs” and absent from the list were “Papa was a Rolling Stone” and also “My Girl” was absent from the list, as well as “Ball of Confusion”.   But the others were there.  But I have come to the conclusion that Barry Gordi was a bit of a jerk.  It seemed for all the world that Motown Records was out to screw David Ruffin any way they could.  More people have dropped out of the temptations than insects fall when you spray a little Raid.  He kicks up that David Ruffin guy with the glasses, who was lead singer for the Temptations for just over four of their best years called “the classic years”.   They had some other movie about some black group that was screwed over by a record company and not paid anything for their songs.  The guy they kicked out was kind of the most important figure in the group and arguably the biggest money draw.  One story has it the guy got uppity and demanded special treatment and was too “full of himself’ and wanted the group name changed to “David Ruffin and the temptations”.  But others said he was hooked on cocaine.  So management kicked him out of the group.  But then according to his replacement, who apparently sounds just like him vocally, Edwards, was actually a good friend of his says that “the rest of the group wanted him back in the group” but then nothing happened.  Ruffin was all apologetic but it didn’t do any good.
