All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace: Adam Curtis

A series of films about how humans have been colonized by the machines they have built. Although we don't realize it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers. It claims that computers have failed to liberate us and instead have distorted and simplified our view of the world around us.

1. Love and Power. This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s that computers could create a new kind of stable world. They would bring about a new kind global capitalism free of all risk and without the boom and bust of the past. They would also abolish political power and create a new kind of democracy through the Internet where millions of individuals would be connected as nodes in cybernetic systems - without hierarchy.

2. The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts. This is the story of how our modern scientific idea of nature, the self-regulating ecosystem, is actually a machine fantasy. It has little to do with the real complexity of nature. It is based on cybernetic ideas that were projected on to nature in the 1950s by ambitious scientists. A static machine theory of order that sees humans, and everything else on the planet, as components - cogs - in a system.

3. The Monkey in the Machine and the Machine in the Monkey. This episode looks at why we humans find this machine vision so beguiling. The film argues it is because all political dreams of changing the world for the better seem to have failed - so we have retreated into machine-fantasies that say we have no control over our actions because they excuse our failure.

Adam Curtis is a documentary film maker, whose work includes The Power of Nightmares,The Century of the Self, The Mayfair Set, Pandora's Box, The Trap and The Living Dead.

Enlightened, Really?

I have come to the realisation that there are two basic types of people. There are those with an apocalyptic worldview and there are the Utopianists.
Of the latter there is little difference between the variations, but they are premised upon the age old Gnostic doctrine of "becoming" (Ye shall be as gods. Gen 3:5)

How utterly corrupt are the ranks of those that claim enlightenment when they speak of mans evolutionary journey, while systematically subjugating entire continents to slavery and death. Socio-political utopia in action.

I am referring primarily of the plight of Central Africa.
A recent "Top Ten" report placed the Congo as the poorest nation on earth with an average annual income of less than $200 per head, and this despite being one of the richest countries on earth in natural resources. Furthermore, Rwanda is in the news again this week as it embarks on a time of mourning, twenty years after the genocide.

The details of such suffering are truly heart wrenching, yet I believe that we owe a debt, to expose the cancerous root of the type of system which not only permits crime against humanity, but encourages it in the name of whatever nonsense ideology is popular at the time!

I have previously written about the exploits of Lever and the expropriation of huge swathes of the Belgian Congo for palm oil plantations and the ill treatment of workers under the policy of "force travail".
The facts still astound me and I struggle to understand how anyone could reach a level of disconnectedness to willingly participate is such a regime.

I read recently that while acting as Egyptian Foreign Minister, future U.N. Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali presided over the supply of the weapons which were used by Hutus to slaughter Tutsis.
The U.N. is full of apologies for not acting to stop the genocide, but it has been complicit all along.
Belgium's administration particularly had led to the ethnic tensions arising between tribes who had coexisted relatively harmoniously for centuries before.
The faulty premise that Tutsis were racially superior is explained in detail in part three of the documentary series, "All watched over by machines of loving grace" by Adam Curtis. I will post the entire series up next time.

There are few better examples of human behaviour that is beyond hypocrisy, than the treatment of the poorest people on earth by those who claim to know how society can be improved.

As for "becoming", they are actually attempting to build a world based upon Babylonian principals of rebellion towards God.

The Century Of The Self: Adam Curtis

Im delighted to be able to post this series of excellent videos by Adam Curtis. Enjoy!

This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, changed the perception of the human mind and its workings profoundly.

His influence on the 20th century is widely regarded as massive. The documentary describes the impact of Freud's theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their engineering of consent. Among the main characters are Freud himself and his nephew Edward Bernays, who was the first to use psychological techniques in advertising. He is often seen as the father of the public relations industry.

Freud's daughter Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychology, is mentioned in the second part, as well as Wilhelm Reich, one of the main opponents of Freud's theories. Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. It also questions the modern way we see ourselves, the attitude to fashion and superficiality.

Happiness Machines. Part one documents the story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays who invented Public Relations in the 1920s, being the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses.

The Engineering of Consent. Part two explores how those in power in post-war America used Freud's ideas about the unconscious mind to try and control the masses. Politicians and planners came to believe Freud's underlying premise that deep within all human beings were dangerous and irrational desires.

There is a Policeman Inside All of Our Heads, He Must Be Destroyed. In the 1960s, a radical group of psychotherapists challenged the influence of Freudian ideas, which lead to the creation of a new political movement that sought to create new people, free of the psychological conformity that had been implanted in people's minds by business and politics.

Eight People Sipping Wine In Kettering. This episode explains how politicians turned to the same techniques used by business in order to read and manipulate the inner desires of the masses. Both New Labor with Tony Blair and the Democrats led by Bill Clinton, used the focus group which had been invented by psychoanalysts in order to regain power.

Last Word For Now

OK so after getting some stuff straight in the Talking with Demons, mini blog series, I think that it is time to declare where I am at. 
The bottom line to all of this, is that there are far more demons around than most of us realise.

How do I know? 
Discernment!.

"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For me, it is similar to the scene in The Lord of The Rings where Bilbo puts the ring on and becomes invisible to his fellows, yet the eye of the dark lord Sauron immediately searches him out.
Demons are most effective when their presence is undetected, but they cannot hide from the Light of Jesus. Anyone who is truly living and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit will become aware of these things. And demons will ALWAYS manifest themselves in some way. Why else would they be there?

Given that no one else seems to see demons, you can imagine that it's not much fun. What would I give for the local Church to be co workers in this ministry? They don't get it and I suspect that most of my readers here, might not either.

Anyway, It has been a long time in dawning upon me that it isn't my job to "get it". 
It's my job to tell it.

And no I'm not on drugs. I'm high enough thanks.

I have recently been thinking about a new Wordpress blog where these types of posts could be fleshed out more.

A Must Read Article on Communitarianism

This article by Nikki Raapana is one of the most important lessons into the Communitarian agenda, I have seen.

Silent coup, holy coup, all are tricked, all are duped,

Round Green Virgin kills mother and child,

Holy infanticide, death with a smile,

Die in heavenly peace, die so the planet can breathe.

Just as Jesus was born on a silent night, Communitarianism was born of a silent coup. But now, after centuries of quiet obscurity, Communitarians are popping up everywhere! They too have risen!

Communitarianism is the miracle ideology! It's the New World Religion. It's the New World Justice. It's the New World Constitution. It's the New World Policing. It's the New Human Rights. It's Big Mother! Everyone loves it. How can we not? Gosh golly, even the Pope said Communitarianism is God's plan.

Communitarianism, according to the Communitarians, is the final, perfect stage of human social evolution. Anyone who does not embrace the Communitarian Goddess is an unevolved heretic. Read more

Talking with Demons 5 - The Names of God

It is likely that when Satan appeared to Eve in the Garden of Eden, it was in full serpentine brilliance.
It has been his method to appear an an "angel of light" in order to deceive, and throughout time, movements which were characterised by light or illumination, have had Luciferic ideology at their core.

Ancient cultures are believed to have been enlightened by extraterrestrial beings, but there is little mention of the barbarism that accompanied such advanced civilisations. The sheer horror of Baal worship for example, or the rivers of blood required in sacrifice to the gods the ancient Egyptians

Despite the nature of the gentile nations which surrounded Israel, some of the aspects of pagan culture were assimilated into Jewish life, particularly during the Egyptian and later, Babylonian captivity, and Gnostic thought has at times run parallel to orthodox Judaism and even gained prominence, even though there seemed a clear pattern of Gods judgement that followed their forays into such practices.

Merkabah mysticism was the early form of Kabbalah and writings known as Hekelot tracts, described the passage of the mystic through a series of chambers, each step involving increasingly complex rituals in order to bridge the gulf between man and god.
Note that this model of mystical endeavour would become the standard for later forms of magic, including freemasonry.
It is hard to overestimate the impact of Jewish mysticism on modern occult practices.

As in the case of all magic, kabbalah involves connection with unseen spiritual agents, or demons. However kabbalists use a complex system of numerology called gematria to manipulate texts in order to establish one of the "72 Names of God".
Invoking the "Names of God", was the method in which, legend has it, the Golem of Prague was created.
It is also said in kabbalistic lore, that it was possible to create living animals from inanimate matter.
If that sounds unlikely, consider how we are able to create animals in laboratories today.

So is there a link between ancient gnostic practices and modern science?

The economist, John Maynard Keynes, was fascinated by the life of Isaac Newton, and purchased one of his personal trunks containing thousands of previously unseen works.
In the address entitled, "Newton the Man", which he wrote for the tercentenary celebration of Newtons birth at the Royal Society, Keynes related some of Newtons occult exploits including Kabbalah and alchemy.

Possibly the most revealing of Keyne's observations was that:

Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago.... 

Why do I call him a magician? Because he looked on the whole universe and all that is in it as a riddle, as a secret which could be read by applying pure thought to certain evidence, certain mystic clues which God had laid about the world to allow a sort of philosopher's treasure hunt to the esoteric brotherhood. He believed that these clues were to be found partly in the evidence of the heavens and in the constitution of elements (and that is what gives the false suggestion of his being an experimental natural philosopher), but also partly in certain papers and traditions handed down by the brethren in an unbroken chain back to the original cryptic revelation in Babylonia. He regarded the universe as a cryptogram set by the Almighty - just as he himself wrapt the discovery of the calculus in a cryptogram when he communicated with Leibniz. By pure thought, by concentration of mind, the riddle, he believed, would be revealed to the initiate.

The Royal Society began life as the Invisible College, and was made up exclusively of esotericists. One of its most notable achievements was to popularise the Gnostic myth of Darwinism, thus leading half the world into the biggest act of folly in the whole of history, denying the existence of a creator.
Like it or not, the evidence paints a clear picture, regardless of what popular opinion says on the legitimacy of science.

The point is that, although we hope that knowledge offers the key to transcendence., in reality, it is a "set up". The secrets offered in the kabbalistic tree of life are irrelevant to life when we really understand that our true purpose, is not to know creation, but to know the creator.

Talking with Demons 4 - The Sons of God

The Hebrew term, "Benei Elohim" (Sons of God) is used in parts of the Holy Bible to refer to Angels. Most controversial, is where that meaning is applied to Genesis 6 where the implication is that angels procreated with humans to produce half human, "Nephilim" offspring.

This post is not about that subject, but rather, the possibility that the different nations that were created by God, following the failed attempt at humanity's unification, as signified by the Tower of Babel, were "given over" to be ruled by the "Benei Elohim", Angels of God.

The Tower of Babel incident is significant because it marks a point in time where God's administration over the affairs of mankind, fundamentally change. God stands back from direct ruler ship and appoints instead, spiritual rulers over each of the nations. It is of key importance however, that God chose a nation unto himself in the people of Israel, and that they would remain His possession, eventually transforming into a spiritual nation through Jesus Christ.

The "El" prefix in Elohim usually denotes divine status and the spiritual rulers of the gentiles nations were certainly regarded as "gods" however, their supposed "divinity" was most likely a consequence of  being in the presence of God rather than actually being gods. The Greek word "Kosmokrator" meaning "ruler of the world", is used to describe these celestial god like beings.
The reference to "powers" and "authorities" in Ephesians 6 is based on the common translation  of "kosmokrators" and the apostles appeared to be entirely familiar with this world view.

The concept of angels as "mini gods" is also supported in the apparently confusing reference in the Psalms to, "God among gods". This seeming contradiction in the central texts of Judaism, a monotheistic faith, could explain why there is less of a clear understanding of these matters today. The concept of pantheism would be disadvantageous to a national identity which was proud of it's title of "Gods chosen".

Created they may be, but short of power they were not so it is understandable that the kosmokrators where worshipped as gods especially as they would do little to dissuade mankind from this view, considering that this is generally regarded as Lucifer's main aim.
Mythology tends to loosely correlate with this biblical view of events around the time of the Tower of Babel but the stories vary to some extent, some claiming that God died, or was murdered, others, that He was overthrown by usurper gods.
The ancient myths also account for man-gods which would support the Nephilim theory and also account for the practice of ancestral spirit worship which followed.

Talking with Demons 3 - The Ascended Masters

Alice A Bailey wrote 24 books under the telepathic direction of a spirit guide called Djwal Khul. These books contain details of mankinds spiritual evolution. The journey of our cosmic consciousness.
Djawal Khul (DK) is supposed to be an Ascended Master, a member of the "Spiritual Hierachy" and "Master of Ancient Wisdom". His esoteric teachings form the foundational spiritual principals of the United Nations by means of the Lucis Trust, the United Nation's printers, who also published Alice Bailey's writings.
If there is any doubt that the world is in the grip of an occult conspiracy, here is the proof. The Lucis Trust was formerly known as the Lucifer Publishing Co. I find this incredible myself.

There is no mention in The Bible, of Ascended  Masters, and where there is reference to a spiritual hierarchy, it is described as, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world or spiritual wickedness in high places.
The so called Masters of Ancient wisdom are therefor no more than a constituent part of the kingdom of Satan. Spiritual beings whose only end is to further the separation between  mankind and his creator, God.

Since this is the case, it is natural that the automatic writings of Bailey, should hold the God of the Bible in disdain, and the movement that is founded on the precepts of Theosophy, should find a means to supplant the spiritual laws of God, those laws that have the purpose of enabling mankind to live according to his potential in God, with a counterfeit moral and ethical code, having the appearance of goodness but subtly introducing greater and greater measures of wickedness, and encouraging man to willful abandon of his God given conscience.

There is no sacred text of Lucifarianism, but the Humanist Manifesto probably best encapsulates its principals.

Do not think that Lucifarianism is a religious of goats, pentacles, and goblets dripping with blood, as many perceive Satanism to be. Lucifer is seen to represent the cognitive powers of man, the embodiment of science and reason. This  belief has been seen through the ages, from the early Gnostics and the ancient  mystery schools of the Middle East, to the European Enlightenment where Luciferic doctrine became incorporated into mainstream thought.

There is a modern day recipient of the teachings of DK. I do not know, nor do I care, if there is any truth in this, or if the message is considered to be authentic as in the case of Alice Bailey. The reports of secret doctrine being received through this medium are widespread. 
In 1975, Psychologist, Dr Helen Schucman published the 3 volume book, “A course in miracles”(ACIM) It was the result of 7 years of channelled messages by a spirit guide who called himself Jesus.
This "Jesus" unsurprisingly preached a message, more in keeping with Humanism, than with the Bible. 
Yet again more recently, there is another author, Sarah Young, who claims to be receiving messages from Jesus and has written a bestseller entitled "Jesus Calling". Again completely unbiblical,  and utter nonsense.

Talking with Demons 2. The Issue of Ground

"Through lack of knowledge, the majority of even the most spiritual people, do not carry out a full and perpetual war upon this army of wicked spirits; and many are shrinking from the subject, and the call to war against them" Jesse Penne Lewis (War on the Saints)

Jesse Penne Lewis is generally regarded by charismatics as responsible for bringing an end to the Welsh revival of 1904. She was close to Evan Roberts during the revival and also after the breakdown from which he never fully recovered. Yet from reading "War on the saints", it is clear to me that her fight was against an onslaught of deceiving spirits that descended upon the Church at a time when people were unwittingly receptive to any, and all, supernatural forces rather than just the Holy Spirit.

"War on the Saints" describes a "confederacy of satanic spirits" and the conditions which, when fulfilled, they are able to manifest their power.
It is a remarkably "up front" account of Satan's mode of operation and therefore in my opinion, one of the most important books of the last century. 
In fact, many of those charismatics who believe that the Holy Spirit causes people to bark like dogs, or roll around under the pews hissing like snakes, should take serious note of it.

Her insights into the working of demonic spirits in human affairs are profound. For example, she identifies how evil spirits are able to disguise themselves as part of a persons personality, or how the use of mediums to predict the future, allows spirits to manipulate the circumstances of a persons life so that the "foretold" event, comes to pass.

One of the primary messages that Jesse Penne Lewis expounds upon, is the issue of "grounds", the legal rights which we give to demonic forces to enter our lives, either in part, or to an extreme degree.

The circumstances whereby we allow "grounds" for demonic activity in our lives are varied. Volitional sin is arguably a primary factor, as is involvement in the occult. Being a good person, or even going to Church, does not offer a reliable safeguard.
It is through knowledge of the working of the true Holy Spirit, which will ALWAYS reaffirm the message of the scriptures, that we can begin to stand against the wiles of Satan.

The means by which we are to resist, and furthermore, to strike back against the enemy are described as the "Armour of God". Truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the spreading of the gospel are our defence, and the "Sword of the Spirit", which is the word of God, is our weapon, and mighty it is to cut through the darkness. That is why it is essential that we are familiar with the scriptures. 

Talking with Demons

Demon-   an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell

I am sick and tired of being tormented by these things so I thought it was about time to torment them a little.

You see, I am involved in a fight I did not ask for. I am by default (as a Christian), charged with the business of dealing with demons yet I find that most of those who claim the same beliefs as me, are either ignorant of"Spiritual warfare" or find, for a variety of reasons, that they are really not equipped to "Fight the good fight". They tend towards a superficial kind of faith that does not disturb the status quo.
What I have discovered, is that neither ignorance, or passivity, have any effect when it comes to sorting out the problems caused by demons either in our own lives, or in the lives of others.

It is necessary to extend awareness of the existence of these malevolent, inter-dimentional entities because they are ALWAYS out for destruction. They are the scorpions of the frog and scorpion fable and they will ALWAYS sting you because it is their nature.

I find it highly ironic that our society has all but rejected the idea of supernatural occurrences, instead, demonic manifestations are regarded as psychopathic tendencies, yet the fathers of modern psychiatry were adept in occultism. Jung in particular was born into a line of highly proficient mediums and himself, channeled spirits from an early age.

To see the link from occultism to demonic manifestations, some biblical knowledge is required so I recommend getting hold of a bible to become acquainted with basic spiritual principals.
The key to the matter is that, as a believer in Jesus Christ, you hold considerable power and authority.

In the gospels, Jesus commanded demons to leave people. He gave his disciples authority to cast out demons as well. That is truly good news isn't it?
In the Book of Revelation (12:11) We read that the Devil is defeated by the "Blood of the Lamb" That is because the curse of sin over us is broken. the slate is wiped clean and Satan and the demons have no legal right to our lives. The other requirement for victory is that we do not love our lives, even unto death. In other words, like in the gospels, we give everything we own to purchase that field which contains the hidden treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven.

When the disciples rejoiced that the demons were subject to them in His name, Jesus warned them to rejoice only that they were headed for The Kingdom of God.
The power to cast out demons does not automatically confer citizenship of heaven.

Emmanuel TV, which is the broadcasting arm of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) has published dozens of you tube videos portraying people being delivered from evil spirits.Of course these exorcisms could be staged for the camera, with actors playing the roles of the tormented victim, but I suspect that we are seeing  real life encounters with unclean spirits. I say this because I have personally witnessed events such as these and there was no trickery. The demon possessed in the clips, exhibit exactly the same behavior.
The issues to be considered here are whether or not these poor people were truly delivered. What became of them in the weeks and months after the service had finished?
In the case of  the founder of SCOAN, TB Joshua, do his beliefs really align with true bible teaching? Reports state that TB Joshua maintains that some of those he ministers to are in fact, half man, half fish, indicating that although he invokes the power of Jesus name, he may be actually still operating under traditional Nigerian shamanism
Whatever the spiritual alignment of TB Joshua, this goes to strengthen my point that demons are subject to the name of Jesus, but that in itself is no indication of the spiritual well being of the minister involved in the casting out process.

It is clear in the Bible that, even though they healed the sick and cast out demons in His name, Jesus rejected a group of unfaithful followers, declaring that, "Not everybody who says "Lord Lord", will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but those who do the will of the Father".

In any case, for successful deliverance from demonic possession, deliverance counselling is an absolute minimum requirement, as often, a persons lifestyle has opened doors to demonic activity.
When specific areas of a persons life are examined in the light of the Holy Scripture, the doors that allowed the entry to demonic spirits, can be closed. This involves repentance and renunciation of sin, and as forgiveness is received through the precious Blood of Christ, allows the healing and regenerative work of the Holy Spirit to begin.

In-discipline

Anyone remember this?

From one of the best albums by UK prog rock outfit King Crimson, "Discipline" 1981

King Crimson have reformed don't you know? They are due to begin performances in 2014

By the way, "it" is a.........Nah you'll have to find out for yourself.

Have You Met The Poor?

Great stuff

Why Lie?

Albert Pike, in his voluminous treatise on Freemasonry, "Morals and Dogma", gives us an insight into why the ruling elite, find it necessary to trade in deceit.

"What can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason." Morals and Dogma P 103.

Clearly, within the tenets of Freemasonry, there is a mandate to deceive the masses. Even fellow Masons are deceived.

"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled". Morals. P 104

Pike goes on to describe this deliberate deception as God's plan.

"So God Himself incapacitates many men, by color-blindness, to distinguish colors, and leads the masses away from the highest Truth, giving them the power to attain only so much of it as it is profitable to them to know" Morals. P 105

Note the difference from scripture which describes what happens to those who reject the truth. 2Thess 2 10-11 They receive judgement who delight in lies, not those who seek the truth.

The dichotomy is plain to see. The Lodge looks to all the world, like a bunch of old guys who like dressing up and performing daft rituals. That may be so but do not underestimate the influence through history of this clandestine organisation. Even today, the Brotherhood is well represented within the legal profession.

Whenever you hear of the noble causes espoused by your neigbourhood lodge, remember that the code of secrecy adhered to by its members may be less to do with honour but more a case of knowing too much. Think Saville.

Well Whadda You Know

Since the news has declared that the chief suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, died in 2009, it appears that we will never know the truth.

I still have a few questions however.

Are most people really dumb enough to believe what they read in the papers?

Take the "White Widow" story. Is it only me who finds this a little hard to swallow? A woman, as the international kingpin in a terrorist organisation that is known for the denigration of...women!

Do they really care about the coherence of the fiction they expect us to believe? It appears not. I hope I'm being paranoid here.

If the media is really involved in a sustained campaign of disinformation, then the question arises as to why? What deems it right to lie to the populace? Is it some kind of superiority complex that allows a select group to mislead the masses? Is this permissible now that we are in a "post christian" era? Even the "Established" (note emphasis) Church, don't get it. Did they ever? Jesus called the Pharisees "Children of satan" due to their fondness of lies.

Maybe it is the reserve of the rich and powerful to indulge in antinonianism, as if somehow, they are helping to fulfill mans destiny, The "enlightened", moving  on wards towards the final stages of cosmic conscienceless.

Not so sure myself.

Brand on The Pre-existing Paradigm

He is the one eyed king of the blind. We know all about the problems of the "pre-existing paradigm" but change agents like Brand, pour petrol onto the fire. That is to say, they identify the issues correctly, but apply a completely inappropriate solution. In this case, given the fact that he shied away from outlining his Utopian vision, I would say that the absence of a solution is the answer for him. Chaos.

Its been a while..

Actually, it's over six weeks since my last post, and not a day goes by where I don't think about writing something.
I have been busy in all truthfulness. Busy struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, anger, disappointment, incredulity, fear and weakness.
I'm not complaining, it goes with the territory. However, due to the imposition of a "blog blackout" the catharsis usually derived from writing, has been absent.
It's not the first time I have been burning up with some issue or other, yet physically and mentally unable to publish it. I am dead against the principal of "degrees of initiation", such as is practiced in occult circles, but it is clear now that even though the truth should be propagated freely, not every truthful thing is suitable for publication, to my discomfort.

The closing statement of Goncarlo Amarel's book (Senior investigator in the Maddie McCann case)

"We gave the best of ourselves to resolve this case. Our conclusions rest on the proven facts and the evidence interpreted within the principles of the law. Our work was done in the cause of justice, based on the material truth, the only thing that must prevail in a universe where the lie is raised up as truth." A Verdade Da Mentira.
