Things are happening! We see them and WE Don’t! OMG, Is not a call for God’s help. He hears – and knows – It really means OH MY GODS, ALL of them, All the gods of the world. There are so many gods in our life especially after the pandemic, Which may not be past yet. I find myself, as I think more are, being ‘in this world’ but feeling ‘not of this world’. I am an observer. The world – it is a’changing!
Police brutality is replaced with citizen power. You don’t like a law, just ignore it this once. No one important will see you.
The big example, If you see that you will loose an election just call out that there is an attempt to STEEL the election. No one will believe that it is you trying to steel it. That just could not be.
The speed limit too low? Ignore it. The people you pass cannot stop you. There are no police around to force a low speed. If it were necessary to go slow for a reason, that reason would have brought police into the area to enforce it. Otherwise it is just a guide line. And so forth.
WTF is not taking the Lord’s name in vain, so no commandment broken. Just an attempt of a small mind to express itself forcefully. And a cry of amasement at experiencing something that just could/should not be happening.
IDK – A strange thing happened today. I SAW a PERSON with a THING that was BROKEN. He was using it as though it were in good and working condition. I stopped to help him FIX the THING because it was not so broken that it could not be fixed. I was told that he had PURPOSEFULLY broken it. He wanted to be JUSTIFIED ridding himself of the THING because he was tired of doing the work with it.
8 months ago I started vaccinations. I completed the 2 shots 1 month apart. I did not have a reaction to the vaccine although some people did. But did anything happen? What? What did it mean? Were we SAFE from the virus and the pandemic now that we took the next step.
It is 8 months later and the population did not become vaccinated as planned. Many have refused to even consider the action. There are many reasons. It is HERD non-immunation! I see it as a reaction to lies told and believed at the start of the pandemic. But it is what it is. We can never know what might have happened.
There are people in the population that are sick, no, actually, with Covid. Some know but don’t believe it. Some know and don’t care. Some don’t know. Here is the amazing thing, if you don’t think you have it you can’t get a test for it! The plan seems to leave the general population in the OLD Fashion condition, you can get “immune’d” by surviving the infection.
NOW CONSIDER THIS
Did the vaccine work? I don’t know. What was it supposed to do? Keep us from ever getting Covid-19! Not true. But it is the goal!
Vaccines: The Basics (copied from various sources and annotated without permission)
Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. But they have been either killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick. Some vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ.
A vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first. That is sort of True?
The source said “This is what makes vaccines such powerful medicine. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them”. This is false to a point. stimulates not prevents is correct. A vaccine is not designed to prevent anything just make the body, your body, do what God designed it to do when you want it to, when you can watch and take action if anything does wrong, not at a pandemic time.
The source said “However, no vaccine is 100% effective and, though rare, fully vaccinated people can contract coronavirus”. This is false. The vaccine always stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies. 100%, always, if it does not kill you, it works. Can the antibodies prevent another infection? Will they pass the test of time? These are actually the questions and where the less-than-100% results come in.
These cases, fully vaccinated people with coronavirus, known as breakthrough infections, can cause COVID-like symptoms — or no symptoms at all. It is always nice to have a name for failure that does not sound like the failure it is! This is realistic when a vaccine is tested and proven but not when everyone knows the process has not been finished.
It was 8 months after the vaccinations started and normal activities had resumed for a good part. Mask requirements were lifted. Groups were meeting together, in person. I was there. The day after one such meeting for regular activities I heard that a person attending had tested positive. I waited and nothing changed with me. It happened again weeks later. A different person came down with Covid-19. A person there was tested due to close contact, positive results. I was tested, positive results. Breakthrough infections both, we 2 were fully vaccinated.
Now, a little over 8 months after, we 2 will live we think. Will this natural immunization work better than the manufactured version? Can the new antibodies prevent another infection? Will these antibodies pass the test of time?
Everyone knows the process will continue.
This is now again 2 weeks of further process. The Covid was not bad! OTC Meds worked for us. The ‘initial group’ of infection was not vaccinated. The natural nature of the ‘process’ occurred. All got sick, Most recovered. One had complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care, Was put on a respirator, Got worse, Died.
My infection source did recover very well. Another friend, unvaccinated, got it from from us. Because we are vaccinated we passed a weakened version to them and they developed antibodies naturally.
I, however, developed complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care! WOW! Did I mention I have COPD, Sleep Apnea and am ‘a little’ Old. I almost died from the cure. I was extremely tired and fell asleep and, of course stopped breathing. Panicked response to what was expected had me on the brink of incubation and the respirator. I came back before completed so I don’t have to recover from the cutting. Antibiotics worked its magic. I got a CPAP machine, Added Oxygen supply, Received antivirals, Stayed 4 days.
I am home. Insurance is covering the cost of home oxygen supply. This is helping a better feeling. My O2 dropped but not critically. I will be cautious for several months. I have just canceled a flight to Washington. I don’t feel good about traveling. Improvement is very slow.
Everyone knows the process continues.
3 Months After Infection Positive
I woke up yesterday. I had slept only 8 hours and I felt good. Why was this such a Good thing? I have been sleeping 12+ hours every night and still getting tired after a few minutes activity or a few hours of being awake. This had actually been the status for almost 2 years. Covid 19 Lockdown in March 2020 was still a normal day. I attended a training class 80 miles away, spent the entire day, came home and still felt OK. That was 20 months ago now. All that time went very slowly except the trip to the Emergency Room. That change happened in just 2 days!
I think I am putting an END on this tale. Hopefully I won’t reopen it. I don’t think I will need or get the third vaccine shot. I feel being sick and surviving did that for me. I am happy that I feel this way after only 3 month after a POSITIVE test!
I’m sitting here in the dark typing on a keyboard. At one time this was pleasing for me. I remember when I was hospitalized recovering from surgery, lying in bed, looking at the television screen, confused that I could find the keyboard that paired with the monitor! My thought then was “F*** it all. If they won’t give me the keyboard it is their problem”. Well it wasn’t my problem anyway. Now I’m here doing nothing and still not happy. What the hell has happened?
I guess the goal in life is not finding my Happy Spot after all. Looking for some Happy Spot is just what we do. Not finding it is mostly what happens. I find myself settling for what makes me feel the least bad. And even that is hard lately. But. . . There is always something at the bottom of the list. It is the nature of a list! To have a last item!
I kept a pile of ROCKs in the backyard and a large hammer in the tool shed and it gave me pleasure making ROCKs into GRAVEL. Not that having GRAVEL is a better thing than having ROCKs but destroying ROCKs myself seemed better than seeing others do it. ROCKs were just a placeholder for other things in life. Now all I see is other destroying ROCKs and I have no pleasure in it.
It seems that the whole world doesn’t give a damn. And I don’t either. What a pathetic state to have no Happy Spot to search for.
The massive oil distribution network, which delivers nearly half of the fuel used on the Eastern seaboard, was targeted by Russian hackers Friday, May 7, 2021, helping contribute to an overall hike in prices at the pump.
Fuel resumed moving through the Colonial Pipeline late Wednesday afternoon, easing worries about fuel shortages five days after hackers strangled the massive oil pipeline through the South.
The hack left many stations out of gas, motorists panicked and sent prices soaring.
It is time for truth instead of HYPE. The prices for a gallon of Gasoline did not rise by itself. The stations raised prices because they could. The gas stations, owned by people like you, raised them! A few motorists panicked, some did not even know about the hack, the rest of us became mad because others clogged the pumps to buy higher priced gasoline!
AND THEY LAUGH AT US. If we know who did this why not stop them. I don’t mean stop them the next time! I mean this time. Is what they did illegal? Did they break any law? Can we “shoot back”? Are they smarter than we are? They know something we don’t! This paradigm must be changed?
Blame verb: assign responsibility for a fault or wrong. “the inquiry blamed the engineer for the accident”
My entire life has been controlled by this single Idea and I never understood the reason that it is important to me and the world. In the definition above we see what it is. We need to understand why it is important. I was awed when I realized the main word in the definition is ‘responsibility’. I was amazed that the second most important word is ‘assign’. I was not impressed with the remainder of the definition; why would human being be interested in responsibility for anything except bad things?
In previous posts we looked at responsibility. Why? I felt it was so they could think more deeply about what they were about to do! Now I think it was so I could feel justified to blame a person for what was done wrongly.
We have been in a pandemic from a virus blamed on the Chinese.
Racism toward Blacks is blamed on Whites.
Asians are blamed for anything bad.
And it goes on and on and on.
Blame has become an end in itself. But in many religions it should be the beginning. What is next?
In the lord’s pray — and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. — But we haven’t yet! And that is the question and the answer!
Down on the corner of ruin and grace
I’m growin weary of the human race
Hold my lamp up in everyone’s face
Lookin for an honest man!
Everyone tied to the turnin wheel
Everyone hidin from the things they feel
Well the truth’s so hard it just don’t seem real
The shadow across this land
People ’round here don’t know what it means
To suffer at the hands of our american dreams
They turn their backs on the grisly scenes
Traced to the privileged sons
They got their god they got their guns
Got their armies and the chosen ones
But we ll all be burnin in the same big sun
When the great correction comes
Down through the ages lovers of the mystery
Poets and sages all throughout history
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
It’s the bitter end we’ve come down to
The eye of the needle that we gotta get through
But the end could be the start of something new
When the great correction comes
Down through the ages .
Down to the wire runnin’ out of time
Still got hope in this heart of mine
But the future waits on the horizon line
For our daughters and our sons
I don’t know where this train’s bound
Whole lotta people tryin to turn it around
Gonna shout til the walls come tumblin down
And the great correction comes
Don’t let me down
When the great correction comes
The definition of life has long been a challenge for scientists and philosophers, with many varied definitions put forward.[16][17][18] This is partially because life is a process, not a substance.[19][20][21] This is complicated by a lack of knowledge of the characteristics of living entities, if any, that may have developed outside of Earth.[22][23] Philosophical definitions of life have also been put forward, with similar difficulties on how to distinguish living things from the non-living.[24] Legal definitions of life have also been described and debated, though these generally focus on the decision to declare a human dead, and the legal ramifications of this decision.[25] As many as 123 definitions of life have been compiled.[26] One definition seems to be favored by NASA: “a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.”[27][28]
The lack of knowledge of the characteristics of living entities does not prevent us from assuming 1 characteristic for our basis. The process is aware. The process does respond. Any entity responds but what we mean here is the process responds. If you push a rock it moves. If you expose metal to oxygen it rusts. This is the entity not the process. The process is missing. The life is missing. When we look for life, we look for this additional response. It’s presence indicates life in some form. The problem is not seeing it does not mean absence of life, only the absence of a sighting.
Don’t just change without knowing and understanding WHY it got this way!
Why in the World did anyone ever become Racist? A new born is not aware of itself therefore there is no OTHER to compare with so Race means nothing. It is selfish because that is all it knows. If you look and see the developmental progress there first becomes ‘other’ and then ‘other that is alive’, then ‘alive that helps me’, because I need. A little latter comes ‘Hurt’ and then ‘Fear’.
If you have forgotten this you can never understand ‘Racism’, ‘White Privilege’, ‘White Supremacy’, or any other flavor of ‘Supremacy’. The dictionary proposes that Supremacy is: 1. the state of being supreme. and 2. supreme authority or power. This centers on the first and the most important ‘Person’ in the definition. The first, the powerful, the best. A little thought would provide the idea that ‘the other’ is the real cause, or excuse, or need of any such word, idea, or concept. Without ‘the other’ there would be none of this. AND the emotion that is alive here is FEAR. Don’t get me wrong. It is not fear of an individual. It is not fear of a group. It is not even fear of ‘the other’ from our developmental time. It is fear of what ‘the other’ means or could mean or might mean or HAS meant and it is a ‘Concrete Background Memory’. Society does not usually retain this type of ‘thing’ as long as it has endured in America concerning ‘Black’ people. I feel, personally, that this is because the basic cause, or excuse, or need has never gone away.
To affect any of these you must effect a change in ‘the other’ memory that supports it. The memory that ‘I may not be safe from . . .’ has never been attacked and removed. OR even targeted. Locations that do not retain this memory or never developed this memory currently do not experience this Racism or a milder form, Prejudice. But be assured that this feeling against ‘the other’ is everywhere. Where this is a problem, the memory of the cause, or excuse, or need must be resolved to allow the ‘…ism’ to die a nature death.
As an example, in our local area there is a place called Rock Dale. When the region was settled this beautiful area was selected by a single group of German immigrants. As more immigrants came thru, the German speaking portion felt safe and comfortable. The Rock Dale expanded and grew a reputation.
There as also a beautiful area called Rocky Bottoms that was settled by Black immigrants from Southern Plantations when they were free to move north away from slavery that had lasted for several generations. The Rocky Bottoms expanded and grew a reputation.
The scenario played out in every town, city, area and settlement in every continent and country and in the US. It was and is not restricted because it is a natural spread of information. It only becomes a problem if natural change does not follow. Integration of diverse backgrounds does happen. The reputation becomes bad. And the reputation becomes attached to the people and not the place! Once this becomes attached to the people it spread with out limit and does not even require the place at all! When that people is a Race of People the effect is Racism. What started with a Rock Dale or a Rocky Bottoms is now everywhere.
Let’s not get confused or hung-up on details. The cause of the many instances of this Fear-Based condition comes in many shapes and forms and in many different degrees. It is the basis for Racism, Terrorism, Police-abuse, and even travel bands to areas of town or the World.
To pick one of these, such as Black Racism, and say it must be stopped without addressing the underlining causes (because there are usually many) is like pissing into the wind. It is difficult, messy, and not satisfying in the end. We need to correct the cause; replace the bad experiences with good ones; fix what caused the FEAR of the OTHER; remember that several good experiences do not negate many bad experiences. It must die not be killer.
I will continue this as soon as I figure it out! If ever!
The popular election is over. Now what? In a report at https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11641
An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.
If one of the tickets has received a majority of 270 or more electoral votes, the Vice President announces the results, which “shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President.” If not 270 votes for a ticket, Congress is in charge and results are determined. This has happened several times in history. The president is not elected until congress accepts the results?
For additional information, see CRS Report RL32717, Counting Electoral Votes: An Overview of Procedures at the Joint Session, Including Objections by Members of Congress, coordinated by Elizabeth Rybicki and L. Paige Whitaker.
A Look from a Distance.Sometimes what we see is wrong but the need for safety from a perceived danger is ingrained in DNA from developing times. Danger is a personal feeling; Danger is a Personal attack. Being attacked requires Defending ourself. If/when the ability is present, return the attack. Flee, Fight, be confused and do nothing. Our survival has become complicated!
The first response to an attack is to assume the condition/action is Personal. And that is natural.
Levels of Battlefields
And not even close to correct in the CURRENT Times. The threat is most likely to our existence at a future time but made in such a manor require a personal response right now. Here are some examples:
