THE YEAR OF THE RAT

This is Wednesday the day after super-dooper Tuesday, and also the beginning of the year of the Rat. I think we all know the results from last night. Obama won more states but Hillary Clinton won the bigger, more important states, such as California. California was called for Hillary by the networks “much sooner than expected” because Obama did so poorly out here. Obama did better in the caucus states. Now they say the number of delegates separating them is fifty-five, or something, which means the race goes on, and could go right up to the convention. Pennsylvania will be the last state to vote on April 22^nd. or something. Hopefully when Texas and Ohio vote things will become clearer. On the Republican side you have the dingbat right such as Rush Limbaugh, Mary Madelain and Anne Coulter backing Romney. And people are talking about the “man crush” that Huckibee appears to have on Mc Cain because he will never attack him. But they both can’t stand Romney. Romney tended to win states in the far north such as Minisota, North Dekoda, and Montana, and also the farther west the better, such as Utah. Huckibee won in West Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and his native Arkansas. It would seem that Texas is ripe for the picking. Huckibee was very competitive in Missouri being virtually tied with Mc Cain at 33%. What was impressive was the number of states where Romney came in third. Mc Cain of course won all the big states such as New York which have a winner take all primary. Now you pretty much know the picture. I generally toggled between KNBC and KABC last night.

I’d like to talk at length about something “Jesus Christ” said last Sunday. He said an axiom of argument for anything is “If you’re going to make an assertion you better offer conclusive proof”. I’m intrigued to hear that Jesus Christ no longer accepts Faith as a validation for a belief. Actually I have my own “test” for things. Jesus was saying that you should not join any organization such as the Masons, which might violate your Christian precepts. I have precepts of my own and I’d like to share them. First of all how does my faith deal with Fear. For Jesus you are to be afraid of everything, including the Masons. Because there’s always these “threats to your faith” out there and you need to be vigilant constantly to guard against them. In other words you are to spend your life in fear hiding from people and their beliefs least one of these might contaminate you. And the best way to do this is just stay in your own church surrounded by people who think exactly the same way you do. Christianity flunks the fear test. Next, I am against any religion that believes in the doctrine of blood atonement. This is a sacrifice of the innocent for the absolution of sins of the guilty. You don’t sacrifice one life for the welfare of another. Jesus flunks this test right off the bat. Then there is what I call the “resurrection and the life” test”. It has been said “Nobody has died and come back from the death and lived to tell about it”. This statement is still true. It can’t really be said that Jesus conquered death because he told us nothing of what we really want to know and that is “What is life like on the Other Side?” For this you have to go to Sylvia Browne. Christianity flunks the resurrection and the life test. Then there is the Truth test. Does Christianity respect Truth? If you went into a time machine and traveled backward in time 25 years and told people the future would they believe you? No, they would not. They most certainly would not believe things I claimed would happen to me. Then there is the “Elder brother” test. Jesus once compared Christianity to oxen and a young ox learning from being teamed with an older, more experienced ox. And yet if I were to announce that I was going to imitate a certain Calvary pastor in this local area, he would be horrified. Because he has so many bad personality traits, and in his saner moments he knows it. Teachers love to point to their anointing. But the test of the worth of a teacher is whether he is able to “perfect” the student into the ways he should go. Teachers are to “perfect the saints to the work of the minestry”. This Calvary pastor couldn’t care less whether I have been helped by his teaching. The only thing that’s important to him is – is he praised by one and all and put on a pedestal and virtually worshipped by his congregation and idolized by his wife, his children, and his grand children. Finally there is what I call the Gnostic test. To be an agnostic is merely to claim that you have not had a personal “Experience” with God. You, in other words, “Haven’t met him”. The largest organization of agnostics in the world is Dyspensationalist Christians. This is the branch of Christianity that Jesus of KFI is a member of that basically says God doesn’t interact with people any more. Prophecy is dead. (Just like Roosevelt’s policies) The gifts of the spirit are dead, which include tongues, healing, knowledge and wisdom. The idea of knowing God personally strikes a Dyspensationalist as blasphamus because They are the ones who want to be deified. As I have said- - the strength in Jesus divinity isn’t self evident, but rather in the infallibility according those “angry old men” in the fourth century who wrote the Niciene creed. It is they who made Jesus divine, and they alone who have the Holy Spirit, and beyond them God is said to be dead if you are expecting an “experience” with God. These people preach endlessly against “Having an experience” with God and have all sorts of rationalizations against it. The biggest driving force is that these pastors want to themselves be looked to as God and if They didn’t say it; God didn’t say it. Nothing gets these people matter than to quote the Bible to them. Because they will make references to “playing scriptural ping pong” and quoting things improperly not having studied that all important science of “Hermenutics”. If you think Scientology is mysterious, you ought to try Hermanutics. Since it’s they who gave Jesus divinity, it means Jesus’ works didn’t. So don’t copy Jesus’ works. Gene Scott when he was alive repuliated the ‘What would Jesus Do” slogan as invalid for his church. Jesus isn’t to be emulated, like an elder brother, but rather worshipped. He did what he did because he was Divine, but since you are not divine, don’t care try and emulate what he did.

I would like to talk a bit about the last file and the big bang theory. Feel free to go back and review if you want. The things due to the general and special theories of relativity-- the big bang is impossible because you would never perceive it because space itself would be confined to however big you think the Universe was before it exploded. Space would be going around in circles and vastly shrunk, so you would never perceive the concentration of matter. Further more if you had that much matter in one place there would be innumerable “black holes” to the matter would leak out into sub-universes. I was talking about photons and how when matter meets anti matter photons go off in the opposite direction. Can sub-atomic matter be a “bridge between the Universes”? The Federation teaches anti matter can not exist in this universe because you need anti-space and anti-time to contain it. It’s ether, rather than Special Relativity, that is the controlling factor on how fast light travels. No scientist claims now that empty space is really “empty” as we used to think of it. Ether is “the pond” and if “the pond” has a consciousness of its own this is something one could investigate. The psychic or Sixth Dimension may be a bridge dimension between the various other Universes. But is this to say that there is a True psychic dimension and False psychic dimensions? Sylvia Browne talks about psychic “Warnings” of things which will never happen. If this is a realm of “Shadows” as Ebonezer Scrooge night say- - are we to accord this dimension any predictive value at all? (Selah) The Federation speaks of the True psychic dimension, that is confined to this one four-dimensional Universe. Is a man a prophet if he warns about something he sees coming, which gets averted?

TAKING REALITY APART
AND REASSEMBLING IT

They just had the democratic debate at the Kodac theater on CNN. It began at five and it ended at 6:53 by my check. Hillary pretty much mopped the floor with Obama. The only points he scored were talking about recruiting the next generation of Americans. They consciously tried to agree with each other and even speak for each other, like at the end talking about the VP pick. Hillary scored on the immigration issue taking a harder line than Obama and showing her understanding about the tight jobs market, particularly among Blacks. She also reiterated her opposition to having a drivers license for illegals, and explained why. Obama seemed akward talking about the topic of immigration at all. Hillary once again explained her thumbs up vote on the war. The key line is that hers was a thoughtfully reasoned decision based on the facts as we knew them at the time. We did not know that Bush would turn out to be a conscious, obsessive, pathological liar. Also on the issue of medical insurance being mandated, Hillary’s position seemed close to that of Mitt Romney. If anything Obama lost points with me talking about leaning on entertainment corporations telling them what they can and cannot produce. My gut on the issue is to favor freedom of the press over some children that might be upset by a PG 13 trailer while they’re watching The Little Mermaid. Hillary talked about getting down to business the first day of the term. Obama used more flowery phrases where in substance he really wasn’t addressing the question asked. Also in terms of talking about their backgrounds and qualifications, Hillary won hands down. They both employed phrases to emphasize their vast differences with Republicans.

We have the issue of Stephano Di Mira and the “betrayal” by his children. After being in a vegetative state for a few hours they more or less decided to ship him away to some institution where he will languish and be forgotten. I’m no fan of Stephano but I do not understand this reaction and don’t understand Marlena’s either for giving him the drug that put him in this state, apparently permanently. But it’s got me to wondering whether I myself wasn’t administered some drug to exaserbate my alcoholism back in the winter and spring of 2001. As you know there were two enzymes in my liver that were about six times their normal amount. My blood pressure had been off the charts for years. Not only did the Serax given the last few months (after refusing it repeatedly before) do absolutely no good, I got worse. I lost fifteen pounds and my digestive system was in a turmoil. The supposed amount of Serax was doubled and still it did no good. When I got here just to experiment I took two pills at once, effectively quadruppeling a dosage that had worked so effectively in 1999 just two years prior. The drug appeared to have no effect. But rather than merely being given a placebo, what if I were given some other drug to screw up my liver enzymes? If I were a “real alcoholic” I wouldn’t have been “cured” so fast. Somehow if I were being given a drug it had to be something “they” couldn’t slip me in the hospital without being observed. So I “got better” very soon after landing there. Of course the fact that I’m pretty sure I had a stroke and that was a major factor, is usually ignored. It’s also further ignored that drinking as much alcohol as I did might actually have saved my life keeping me from having a bigger stroke or a heart attack. This is not the first time I’ve observed this “pattern”. If you put on your thinking cap and plug in those electrodes I’m sure you can think of another time I was hospitalized. If would be funny if you could make a case for some debilitating drug being given to me that time. And back then it would be a whole lot easier to do since I was living at home. Once again after admittance to the hospital I “got better”. Of course this usually isn’t how the story is told. People like to ignore facts. The fact that I didn’t get out right away- - well maybe they were thinking “once he’s in we can forget about him”. A drug would explain my apparent “abnormal” behavior back then. They’ve got drugs to produce so many strange symptoms now. Where is “House” when you need him? Both incidents have in common as things you can point to and obsess over and say “Here is your proof that [Marcus] is abnormal”. Kind of staining my “permanent record”.

Everybody wants to know no matter which candidate gets elected in November what life will be like in this country in, say, five years from now. I have predicted that Iran will continue to be a problem. Perhaps either because or in spite of the foreign policy we have tword Iran now. I think we can all agree the economy will be in the toilet and it may take years for us to pull out of the upcoming recession and whoever gets put in office will most assuredly not be elected to a 2^nd. term in 2012. Of course there are so many breakthroughs in science that come five years from now there may be cures to diseases we never imagined would happened. We will continue to have violations of our civil liberties by the government. We will continue to have the fat police and nutrition police and the smoking police on our trail. Smoking may fast becoming an extinct activity in America as more and more people quit and people view the activity is unacceptable under ANY circumstance or condition. Now there is this move to spay and newter all cats and dogs by age four months. This law will be unenforceable of course, so that people who get caught won’t get fair justice. (Kind of like the death penalty) Also this law violates John Lock’s axiom about a man having the right to do what he wishes with his own property. It will set up a system of dys-genics so that only wild, undesirable animals will be being born. Finally it violates fairness. We would not think of instituting a draft that let the rich and the privileged people off the hook. And yet dog breeders and show dogs and service and police dogs are exempt. In the name of fairness alone this shouldn’t be. Other items in the news are this bit about happiness ends at forty and resumes again at age 55 or so. The “mid life crisis” is indeed not just myth. They now are talking about manufacturing flu viruses that are more aggressive in giving humans the bird flue, and they’re doing this so “we can come up with a vaccine against it”. This to me seems inherently a dangerous practice that could easily backfire.

I’d like to talk about a little about scientific theories verses scientific theorem or fact. Thom Hartman regards it is theorem and fact that evolution occurred and that creation by an intelligent being did NOT occur. To me evolution is a theory and creationism is a theory and the special theory of relativity is a theory. I say this because if you look at the theory on its surface, it seems to be something someone came up with while using LSD. It’s axiom at its core is that light never exceeds 186,000 per second, as measured by the user. And this is the key element. Therefore space shrinks, or rather matter shrinks and space appears to stretch out, and time slows down and mass increases. This is to explain the “Superman problem”. Smallville’s Clark Kent cant dash around the way he does with his current mass without violating the laws of physics. Jesus Christ on the radio regards it as a theological truth that man will never travel faster than light. And yet according to Chuck Smith there was once a conversation between Isac Newton and another scientist, who was not a Christian while Newton was. And the non Christian stated that man will never travel faster than fifty miles per hour. The idea of this story is that “Christianity keeps up with the times”. We know now there are Black Holes, and to have a Black Hole, you need the idea of something having to accelerate past the speed of light. Black Holes invalidate the special theory of relativity. Also we have talked about fifth dimensional reality where you can go to parallel universes. The Federation has come up with a “Compromise view” on this. In the first place I don’t believe in the Big Bang, but if the Big Bang is actually true it means galaxies have been viewed in their “primitive, unevolved state”. This would be visual proof of evolution, at least of inanimate objects. I myself came up with this “perpetual concentric black hole falling motion machine” to explain the universe. But the Federation says if the Big Bang occurred the universe exploded in the fourth and fifth dimensions. Picture a bunch of rays coming out from a central dot. Each of the rays or lines represents a particular set of dimensions and physical laws and strings of causality. The numerologist in me suggests that there is a geometric preset number of these rays. So these rays would represent “almost parallel universes”. In this view there would be no “slider universes” because a universe would never intersect with this one. Hence the fifth dimension is “real” because it may be the one thing that actually existed before there was time and space. It is suggested that sub-atomic matter exists in its own dimensions. If this true and if a scientist can study sub atomic particles, they may learn things that would be impossible to learn by any other means. They say if an electron collides with a positron you get two photons going in the opposite direction. This is significant because it was assumed by me that anti matter and matter would utterly analite if it came in contact. We know light is made of photons. People like Sylvia Brown talk about “going to the light” when you die. Do we go to a realm that travels 186,000 per second? And if we did we would last for an eternity but it would only seem like a brief instance. The ONLY time Christians ever get to heaven is at the “Wedding Feast of the Lamb” and this period of time is never specified in the Bible. Before and after this we spend on earth. 35 years ago I theorized about going to this “light eternal realm” after you died. Of course I’ve been saying in these blogs that the Space around you depends on the type of matter you are made of. And it all goes back to which one of those raying out lines is YOUR “fifth dimension”. We know that time is an illusion in that we “experience” the illusion that we are alive anc conscious and aware and have free will. What we don’t know is whether this “awareness” we call life has any provable physical manifestations. No object or entity that is dead cares about time. People say that “God” doesn’t care about time. For we humans “NOW” is all we really have. GOD doesn’t care about “Now” in most cases. So I’ll leave it to your deductive logic whether you count God among the living or dead.
