"For I," says the Lord, "will be unto her a firewall and will be the glory in the midst of her."
May God bless Abraham, Sarah and Isaac and all the generations of the descendants of Jacob. Amen.
To love a woman is to fear her sadness, as you alone are responsible for her happiness, & will burn for her tears. http://t.co/xhv2x9B936

There is a Greek myth, Sisyphus, who Zeus sentenced to eternity of forever rolling a boulder up a hill in the depths of Hades. However, the legend has it, that Sisyphus figured out a way to finally beat the gods at their own game: he learned to love the rock...
Albert Camus, the French Existentialist writer, brought this summery to symbolic light in his novel, the Stranger, where the main character suddenly snapped and took it upon himself to execute a Nigerian gangster by calmly emptying his revolver into the smug, knife wielding terrorist. After a long drawn out trial of meaningless events in his life to make him appear to be a callus psychopathic murderer who has no regard for human life, he is sentenced to death by hanging. And on his way to the gallows he is faced with the geering of the crowd of hating spectators where he decides to just soak it all in; when you've been chosen to be the devil everyone loves to hate, all you can do is hate them right back, and with more love, passion and rellishment of their hatred than they can ever comprehend... Because, to hell with them... That's why.
Learn to love the Rock...
And yet, the Lord says, He IS the Rock.
God told Moses to speak to the Rock, and it will gush with life giving waters. Instead, and understandably so, Moses was angry with his people who would not learn to have faith in the blessings to come, and so he struck the rock with his staff. And yes, the rock gushed with the waters of life, but because of his own anger and lack of endurance in his patience, faith and understanding, the Lord informed Moses he would not live to see the Israelites into the promised land.
Moses was the most intellectually advanced human being on the planet, and he was also the most humble. Everyone has a breaking point. You, me, everyone including all three of my readers, has either done everything to make this world as unjust as can be to break a saint, or have done nothing to make it any better. So how's that for banging your head up against a rock wall?
[Please understand the following was written at a time when I was not only going through some pretty devistating events, but I was coming from a place where in my life I have died already from a broken heart, and was returned safely to the moment before, and only after spending weeks if not months up in the Creator's Merkaba.]
Do you want to know what makes me so damn special (--I mean, that seems to be the unspoken question stopping everyone from supporting my right to make a living as a writer--)? The truth... That's what I have, and you don't. Do you know what it's like to always be right? Every time I've been wrong, it has been my mistake of trusting other people's advice, suggestions, direction, or dictation. So here I sit, at my keyboard, a true Gnostic, a one of a kind, at least a millenium ahead of all of you. All that you feel in your heart is because of me. I feel it so strongly it spills out on the rest of the universe. In that, I can predict a heightened number in suicides as I speak tonight. And you cannot blame it on my influence, certainly not with the amount of readers I have at present, but it is for the very same reason I cannot afford to do my occupation. I am at present the most intellectually advanced human being on the planet, and yeah, the most humble too, even Moses broke the most sacred ten commandments out of his anger for your responses, such as it is. So I can assure you, either your names, or your brains will be on the book of the living. Take my word for it. Of course you are offended, how do you think I feel? Do you know at the time of Moses, the cup of God's wrath was a cup of molten gold poured down the gullet of those who had fashioned the golden calf for worship in the first place?
Obviously at this moment, I'm not being humble at all, let alone, the most humble. I'm sure we've all felt these feelings in which, if we had the opportunity to live like the Dalai Lama, we could feel free enough to relax our ego to sleep and awaken our own humility once again. But this sort of thing cannot happen in a mental institution, it cannot happen in prison, or on probation, and it certainly cannot happen in an environment of finger pointing self righteous blame game players where everyone is out for himself alone. The more comfortable, free and relaxed people feel, the more capable they will be to create in an altruistic proactive way. "Can't we all just learn to get along?" The $2,000 a month payment for all Americans would be the only way to get this accomplished for the emotional health of the entire country, and consequently, for its survival and wellbeing.
P.S. I will allow my rant to remain as an example of just how frustrating these life events and financial restraints can be to an otherwise calm, steady tempered and humble person.

Judah! Reuben. Gad, Asher. Naphtali Manasseh! Simeon, Levi: Issachar; Zebulun. Joseph Benjamin.
The meaning of the names from the twelve tribes of Israel spells out this sentence:
Praise! Luck, Happy, A Son Is Born--He Has Seen My Trouble. Fight The Cause To Forget! Listen, He Who Is Bound: A Man Is Hired--Accept The Gift. He Has Taken Away--May He Bring Another Son Who Will Be Fortunate.
Not one word of accusation against David Koresh was true... Not one word of accusation.
He had only one wife, and only slept with her, and only one member of his bible retreat owned a gun business: it was a legitimate gun business. The four agents that died at Waco 93 were all slated to be Al Gore's body guards, and three of them had already served as Bill Clinton's body guards during his campaign. They were assassinated by the ATF and the Branch Davidians were framed for it. George Bush senior was the head of the CIA during the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Martain Luthar King. And it has already been deduced these assassinations were done by the CIA. Bush had done all this to insure the election of his son, George W. Bush. Now, do you see? This is the meaning of the burning 'Bush'.
Micah 4
The Mountain of the Lord
In the last days
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will judge between many peoples
and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
Everyone will sit under their own vine
and under their own fig tree,
and no one will make them afraid,
for the Lord Almighty has spoken.
All the nations may walk
in the name of their gods,
but we will walk in the name of the Lord
our God for ever and ever.
The Lord’s Plan
“In that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will gather the lame;
I will assemble the exiles
and those I have brought to grief.
I will make the lame my remnant,
those driven away a strong nation.
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion
from that day and forever.
As for you, watchtower of the flock,
stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored to you;
kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.”
Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[b]?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?
Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem you
out of the hand of your enemies.
But now many nations
are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat over Zion!”
But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
“Rise and thresh, Daughter Zion,
for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
and you will break to pieces many nations.”
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,
their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

The Book of the Living by Oliver Oyanadel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Through the course of some unfortunate family drama, a 17 year old, whose only crime was getting high with his friends, makes one naturally immature choice in response to his parents's ultimatum, and now he finds himself in a vigilante religious cult who lure and murder evil doers.
In the course of editing one revision, a word processor made the mistake of changing every "were" into "was", and although I have tried to make the necessary corrections, there seems to be still too many miss used ones for my taste. Luckily, the story is told through the eyes of the main character, so one can simply chalk it up to the character's manner of speech. ~Oliver. (They can't all be gems).
Today's Torah Lesson and Bible Study
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take blame for her pain, if so she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. (Jer. 51:6-10) Also je5145, is2701.
