&lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Iniquities,Iniquitous,Iniquity's,Inequities,Inequity's"&gt;Iniquitatis&lt;/span&gt; refers to the existence of wickedness in the world and its secret ends which God is able to facilitate through the capacity of sanctity to redeem darkness. People such as Judas Iscariot and Dick Cheney have long roamed the planet. They're up to something, and what motivates them is sometimes difficult to discern. As Walt Whitman pointed out, the miracle of the universe is not so much that planets and majestic operations have arisen, but rather that in the face of such splendor there could be a "mean man or a scoundrel". How is it that Judas could hang out with Jesus and want to do him in for money? How could Dick Cheney want to kill many millions of Middle Easterners and US Citizens to earn his earthly pay of power and money through &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Halibut,Halibuts,Halibut's,Bellybutton,Albertan"&gt;Halliburton&lt;/span&gt; imperialism? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judas' betrayal of Jesus led to resurrection. This reveals a formula God enjoys employing when bad things happen to good people: metamorphic amplification. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Dick Cheney assisted in the false flag terror operations of 9-11, around three thousand Americans transitioned to Heaven abruptly and unexpectedly. God has been kindly nurturing these folks in their celestial sojourn. They are studying with the Archangel Michael, &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions=""&gt;Archistrategist&lt;/span&gt; of Heaven and a fine instructor in courage. They're preparing for their reincarnation on earth. When they come back they are going to have a special mission that will be of great help to the world. It's a good thing they're preparing in this way because things are not going as well as they might on earth. Numerous people are unaware that Dick Cheney is actually only a minion of certain people far more lethal than even he himself is. He is just their bat-boy, so to speak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time the folks from the 9-11 hoax reincarnate their help will be greatly appreciated. It's even possible that without them, humanity would not be able to very easily get through certain of its challenges ahead. This is the paradox of the &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Mysterious,Mysteried,Mysteries,Mystery,Mustering"&gt;Mysterium&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Iniquities,Iniquitous,Iniquity's,Inequities,Inequity's"&gt;Iniquitatis&lt;/span&gt;: although 9-11 was the lever by which Dick Cheney's owners have been able to effectively justify outlay of martial law surveillance prison slavery systems, the Lord has managed to turn this very lever to Holy and benevolent ends through His kind therapeutic transformation of the bitter gall of the three thousand US 9-11 murders into a medicinal elixir being prepared for the collective benefit of humanity's attempt to improve itself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One reason the &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Mysterious,Mysteried,Mysteries,Mystery,Mustering"&gt;Mysterium&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Iniquities,Iniquitous,Iniquity's,Inequities,Inequity's"&gt;Iniquitatis&lt;/span&gt; functions as one of the engines of human development is because people often don't enjoy carefully scrutinizing their environment. They know life is hard. They have a hard enough time as it is getting out of bed when they wake up. They'd like to just lie there for a while longer. It's understandable. Eventually, they often do manage to rise from bed and, for many people, it's all downhill from there. They kind of sprint and scurry through the day trying to work up enough exhaustion to go back to their bed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't theoretically have to be like this. People could create a world where sleep would be less desirable than waking life with its infinite opportunity for creativity and development. Instead, waking life is wasted in servitude to private international off-shore banking cartels who have enslaved every nation on earth in shackles of debt which chain human potential to the ground when it could be soaring in the direction of the infinite reaches of the universe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humanity has collectively chosen to try to take the easy way out of its developmental trajectory. But the destiny of humanity will neither tolerate nor permit mediocrity. It prefers martyrdom, pain and unspeakable trials to half-way measures. It knows that God is not a slacker and that He had to conceive bountifully and inventively to create the universe from out of nothing. Because humanity knows it is slacking off at some level, it has arranged with God to permit the &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Mysterious,Mysteried,Mysteries,Mystery,Mustering"&gt;Mysterium&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Iniquities,Iniquitous,Iniquity's,Inequities,Inequity's"&gt;Iniquitatis&lt;/span&gt; to function. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the world is going to get better. Before too much longer private banking syndicates holding nations and people hostage will be dismantled and, if need be, cast into a pit or other suitable repository. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In due course of time people will enjoy being awake and will loathe sleep. They will look upon their beds with suspicion and, in some cases, fashion spikes and nails in their design to make them even less inviting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before this can happen, humanity will be collectively crucified that it may be resurrected. I know this sounds harsh, but it will only hurt for a second. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our brothers and sisters whom Dick Cheney and his owners killed in the 9-11 false flag operation have gone before us to prepare the way. They didn't enjoy crucifixion either, but the blessing of their resurrection helps fashion a world in which humanity can fulfill the destiny of its potential and help God fulfill His will. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7564843333810566896?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7564843333810566896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/mysterium-iniquitatis.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7564843333810566896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7564843333810566896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/mysterium-iniquitatis.html' title='Mysterium Iniquitatis'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SwDGfYwB_sI/AAAAAAAAAEU/CQlyaDtr_W4/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-15+at+9.46.33+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-1752127520663528287</id><published>2009-11-12T21:08:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T21:08:22.660-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metaphysics'/><title type='text'>Reflections On Hitler And Reincarnation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy_RJiOmYI/AAAAAAAAAEM/vKSJYn21yLM/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+9.01.23+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy_RJiOmYI/AAAAAAAAAEM/vKSJYn21yLM/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+9.01.23+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;              &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When people reincarnate, they do so in a social context. If they have been together before with certain actors, they tend to be back with those actors again. Maybe not exactly the same cast of actors each time, but within reason there is a certain social continuity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it would be tempting to think that Hitler will come back as a profoundly suffering powerless victim until the end of the earth, he was part of a very socially elevated society of operators who possess a karmic bond to one another. Although it may well be the case that Hitler will suffer greatly emotionally consequent to his deeds, it may be contextually somewhat inevitable that he will tend to gravitate towards, and operate among, a certain power circle in his successive incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler took a lot of pharmaceutical medication to deal with himself. In his reincarnation it may not be surprising to again see him (or her, should he incarnate as a woman) medicating himself chemically to deal with what will surely be a tenuous and stormy emotional inner atmosphere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vegetarianism and meditation were enthusiasms of Hitler. He also liked animals and was very fond of his pet dog. People he did not care for so much. From these details we glean a picture of a possible "spiritual", perhaps monastic, past in Hitler's karmic biography. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler may have had a connection at some point in his karmic lineage to Manichaeism. This is a spiritual stream that concerns itself intimately with the consideration of the workings of good and evil in their mutual relationship with one another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point in his contemplation of evil, Hitler's soul became receptive to embodying and carrying the very evil he studied. This was a free will decision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Hillman says Hitler was a "bad seed". This means he was born bad to the bone. Hitler's mom was afraid of his eyes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dorothy Maclean reports that at one point her friend met Hitler before he became the outward world imperialist of later years. Her friend did not like Hitler at all based on his gangsteresque governmental policies. She intended to refuse to shake his hand. So imagine her surprise when, upon meeting Hitler, she saw in his eyes what she called "the light of Christ". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler could have been an agent of tremendous good in the world. He had charismatic Christian capacities latent within himself. But his soul had made a decision to incarnate as a very evil, malevolent fellow. The shadow of his darkness was profound because it corresponded to the immense potential he possessed for radiating love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's possible that in his next &lt;a href="http://groups.google.com/group/soulogy"&gt;incarnation&lt;/a&gt; Hitler will appear as a very good guy or gal, and will do a lot of good things and make people's lives much happier and better. This way he could sort of try to make up to a certain extent for some of his unfriendly behavior in the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-1752127520663528287?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/1752127520663528287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/reflections-on-hitler-and-reincarnation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/1752127520663528287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/1752127520663528287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/reflections-on-hitler-and-reincarnation.html' title='Reflections On Hitler And Reincarnation'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy_RJiOmYI/AAAAAAAAAEM/vKSJYn21yLM/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+9.01.23+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7276058955152606516</id><published>2009-11-12T01:07:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T01:17:47.185-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metaphysics'/><title type='text'>Karma, Grace, Reincarnation And Dick Cheney</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy-1YJiWxI/AAAAAAAAAEE/9GArxDAYvSs/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+8.58.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy-1YJiWxI/AAAAAAAAAEE/9GArxDAYvSs/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+8.58.27+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Reincarnation is a very significant consideration to assess when attempting to fathom the workings of the mystery of the universe. If reincarnation is true, a great many puzzles of human civilization and biography suddenly have a vastly expanded vista in which to be scrutinized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post will consider reincarnation to occur across the totality of human personal histories. The investigatory contemplative work allowing one to acknowledge such a possibility is something that can be undertaken within the sanctum of one's own consciousness; that is the laboratory within which one tests such conceptions to determine whether they can be proved true for oneself. Within this inner research institute one may be able to discover whether &lt;a href="http://groups.google.com/group/soulogy" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;reincarnation&lt;/a&gt; seems to be an applicable principle to that list of givens of human being, such as breathing and dying. &lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;A lie is a very convenient strategic tool to employ when fashioning an overlay cloaking a covert agenda. Lying could seem like a great thing to do if there were no reincarnation. But since there is reincarnation, lying is a false allurement. One very popular lie is the legitimacy of the "War On Terror".&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Perhaps the most visible proponent of the war on terror is Richard Cheney. He promises this war will not end in our lifetime. Great. Well, what he really means is, as long as he is alive he is not going to stop lying about fake terrorists. And those he works with, and for, are not going to stop lying either. Alright, fine, you guys have free wills- go ahead and use them. The problem is, you are going to die and reincarnate too. And when you do, the consequences of your actions now are going to exist on the earth. What this will look like specifically for each of you as a person is a mystery. But you're changing the world through lies, and this is how you are preparing the future world for your reincarnation, as well as everyone else's. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many reasons Dick Cheney lies as freely as he does. One of the reasons is because he in all likelihood does not know reincarnation is real. This is because he is ignorant. Oh well. Poor guy. He's rich now through Halliburton scamming, but he's perennially poor in essential universal wisdom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Richard does know reincarnation is real, and he knows he will reincarnate, then he has a very enormous faith in the essential goodness and redemptive possibilities of Being and grace. Because his accumulated karma is a morass of duplicity and homicidal wretchedness. On behalf of neo-imperialism he has told many lies and killed many people. The karmic burden of debt he has accumulated weighs upon him mightily. Fortunately for him, grace exists through the benevolent sanctifying operations of the Lord of Karma, whom some people call Christ. But even hard-core saints struggle to remotely approach the full compliment of grace which is theoretically possible for a person to experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grace is a special endowment. Maybe Dick Cheney will reincarnate as an aspiring saint in his next incarnation. That would help him access grace to ameliorate his stultifying karmic payload. For his sake I hope he does go in the direction of a career path in attempted sainthood in his following life. That could help him. He will be a different person then, beset with many personal problems. Heroin or pharmaceutical drugs are not really going to suffice for what he's going to be dealing with. If he goes back into power-idolatry and militarism, I guess he could put off healing himself a while longer. We'll see what he chooses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's pray, or at least think somewhat kindly and with some measure of pity or even compassion for Richard and those like him. For we are all like him to some extent. We've all erred. Suspended between the law of karma and the suspension of law through the miracle of grace, we incarnate successively and scientifically. Our karma simply exists somewhat statically, but the grace able to dissolve it is as fluid as the water of life which a person can drink that they may never thirst again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7276058955152606516?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7276058955152606516/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/importance-of-scientific-consideration.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7276058955152606516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7276058955152606516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/importance-of-scientific-consideration.html' title='Karma, Grace, Reincarnation And Dick Cheney'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Svy-1YJiWxI/AAAAAAAAAEE/9GArxDAYvSs/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-12+at+8.58.27+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-765548294348423424</id><published>2009-11-06T21:48:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T00:39:33.382-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>Technology In Relation To Nature, People, Time And Heaven</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SvTfKHWDFwI/AAAAAAAAAD8/zsEwnYjX6Ww/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-06+at+9.32.51+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SvTfKHWDFwI/AAAAAAAAAD8/zsEwnYjX6Ww/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-06+at+9.32.51+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The clouds are untethered in their movement across the sky. They have no ties to technological apparatus optimizing the efficiency of their drift through the heavens. They would not be able to find a single second to postpone their sojourn in order to be put on hold by a third-world customer service representative of a cell phone provider, for example. No advertiser or marketing guru would ever be able to sell a single cell-phone unit to a cloud. First, clouds don't have time to sit still for the sales pitch, and second, their communication is telepathic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seasons have proceeded in their rhythmic procession through eternity's temporal disguise since the invention of time itself by God in His laboratory of eternal infinity. It is a very good thing indeed that the seasons in say, the nineteenth century, had not decided to employ the latest technology of the telegraph to calibrate their global campaign in concerted season modification. While the temptation to have done so may have been enormous, the seasons wisely refrained from altering the basic programming code God wrote for their effective operation. It's a good thing the seasons did not become enchanted by the promises of bliss offered by the telegraph because already they would have had to upgrade to the telephone, followed by wireless internet if they wished to benefit from the latest technological innovations. Instead, they have managed with their native operating system to capably change the backdrop, color, temperature and wind patterns of the world each year without ever missing a deadline or presenting shoddy, half-hearted workmanship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In human affairs, the understandable allure of technology has sometimes caused people to become trapped in a certain time frame which holds them back as the world around them advances. I'm sure the Amish people, for example, were once the technological wizards of their day. They were so unbelievably far ahead of all the other cultures of the world that they sort of were an alien people, separate unto themselves. They feverishly endeavored to extract every last technological advantage from their brilliant engineers' inventions, while the rest of the world was off doing something else. However, what was once undoubtedly a very cutting-edge environment has come to appear as a sort of museum showcase over time. This is because the Amish have become trapped in a specific time frame proximate to the date of their enslavement to certain technologies. Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As technology develops, some people: 1. get trapped in the past; 2. some ride a perpetual wave of technological advance that tends to render them nervously hyper with feverish excitement lest they be thrown from the zone of the rip curl; 3. and some become trapped in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably one of the most annoying things that can happen to a person is to become trapped in the future. In particular, if you have projected yourself so far into the future that other people and technologies have no chance of catching up to you, that can be alienating. It can give you certain psychological complexes that cannot be treated because psychology has not advanced far enough to even know about them, let alone study and try to heal them. This was the peculiar predicament of a few geniuses around the beginning of the twentieth century, for example, such as Nikola Tesla, Rudolf Steiner, and Thomas Edison. They got through it, though, more or less, as best they could. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the society of Heaven, citizens' relations to developing technologies tends to be generally more prudent and restrained than on earth. For example, for a number of years now the Archangel Michael has benefited considerably from his three primary tools: the lance, the shield, and the horse. These three technologies, along with his native courage, have effectively allowed Michael more or less to maintain a specific desired relationship to a particular serpent that has been concerning him for some time. While it would be entirely possible for Michael to employ certain recent technological inventions, such as the motorcycle, bullet-proof vest, and handgun, he sensibly opts to use the methods that have worked so well for him in his capacity of Arch-strategist of Heaven. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-765548294348423424?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/765548294348423424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-some-people-are-trapped-in-specific.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/765548294348423424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/765548294348423424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-some-people-are-trapped-in-specific.html' title='Technology In Relation To Nature, People, Time And Heaven'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SvTfKHWDFwI/AAAAAAAAAD8/zsEwnYjX6Ww/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-06+at+9.32.51+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-281438986066878386</id><published>2009-11-03T04:58:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T05:00:15.430-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><title type='text'>Water, And How It Takes On The Qualities Of Whatever It Is Interacting With</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su_-SnXDVDI/AAAAAAAAADY/cuVTTS0-z6A/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-03+at+4.52.45+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su_-SnXDVDI/AAAAAAAAADY/cuVTTS0-z6A/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-03+at+4.52.45+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Water is very humble. Rain falls outside my window and I can hear the water prostrating itself on the ground. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;Water is not like fire which unceasingly seeks to rise above itself. Water is always devotedly conforming itself to whatever level terrain it finds itself on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Air is very diffuse. It has attention deficit disorder and is forever floating about in a number of different directions. Water is always coherent and together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water is no native leisure seeker like earth, intent on optimal anchoredness and immobility. Water's intention is always to flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water, however, has a special ability to take on the attributes of these other elements. This is because water takes on the qualities of whatever it is interacting with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm waiting for some coffee to brew in the French press. The water is taking on the qualities of the coffee beans. It is becoming quite jumpy inwardly. There's a good chance some of the water with its new-found characteristics of coffee beans is going to try to hop out of my cup at some point; it never does this when it's just water because its inborn simplicity is too Zen-like to be interested in anything other than representing the embodiment of clarity. But amplified on caffeine it's suddenly like a frisky teenager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I brewed the coffee I had to warm the water up. I put it over a flame and it took on the characteristics of fire. It was positively vicious. Prior to that, I met up with the water upon its exodus from the spigot of the faucet. It was cold and shivering from exposing itself to low temperatures in the well underground where it was living. It couldn't help but take on the attributes of the cold environment it was residing in because that's the way it rolls. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water is one of the world's great character actors. It is forever becoming something else. One of its most popular roles is as the cast of humanity. Water becomes person and bears the human soul in its incarnation on earth. The soul was smart when it chose water to be its bodily service provider because water is going to do a faithful job of becoming whatever the soul intends. The next time you question someone's behavior you can say, "Wow, can you believe how that water was acting?" Of course, it's not the water's fault it was being obnoxious. It was just reflecting what the soul energizing it was expressing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-281438986066878386?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/281438986066878386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/water-and-how-it-takes-on-qualities-of.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/281438986066878386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/281438986066878386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/water-and-how-it-takes-on-qualities-of.html' title='Water, And How It Takes On The Qualities Of Whatever It Is Interacting With'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su_-SnXDVDI/AAAAAAAAADY/cuVTTS0-z6A/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-03+at+4.52.45+AM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-6218801037347527316</id><published>2009-11-02T03:37:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T03:51:15.583-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hermeticism'/><title type='text'>All Souls Day Is A Special Time To Connect With The Souls Of The Dead</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su6ZQDjXSCI/AAAAAAAAADQ/muNiifAWELo/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-11-02+at+2.53.03+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su6ZQDjXSCI/AAAAAAAAADQ/muNiifAWELo/s320/Screen+shot+2009-11-02+at+2.53.03+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dead people are cool. They float around in heaven and go to school there. They take classes with the Archangel Michael, and pursue advanced studies with the Lord. They grow in wisdom and prepare for their next incarnation on earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;November 2 is All Souls Day, the holiday in celebration of the dead. There are no special deals on cars on All Souls Day. There is no commercial hype that has been building for months in anticipation of All Souls Day. There are just a bunch of dead people approaching people on earth, ready to interact with them if they want. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know a few dead people. I'll probably be thinking of them on All Souls Day, as I sometimes try to think of them on other days as well. I expect that if I'm lucky I might have an especially keen awareness that these folks are seeking out my company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I detect a ghost of someone I knew on earth I'm going to try to be civil. Just as I tried to keep things manageable with these guys when they had earthly bodies I'm going to try to do so now, too. I don't want any trouble with phantoms any more than with physical forms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dead friends and former kin are reconfiguring and calibrating themselves within the crucible of the Lord. They're burning away all their shortcomings as best they can, and anticipating a better time on earth when they return. It's my job, and the job of others so-inclined, to try to see that when these people return to earth they are able to read in the historic record that someone named Dick Cheney was exposed as a false-flag architect: that is to say, someone who enjoyed staging fake terrorist attacks on his country in order to blame it on someone he wished to invade. Likewise, these people who are dead in heaven now will undoubtedly be much happier upon their return to earth to learn that a sinister plot to manipulate world currencies through central banks had been foiled. Someone of god-like status had once walked the earth, by the name of Ron Paul, and he and his associates had worked diligently to ensure that humanity possessed a sound currency system. God bless Ron Paul and all the work he has done for the living and the dead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A German hippie I know named Anja told me that All Souls Day is the time of the year when the veils between worlds grows thin. This allows the living and dead to commune in the solemn festival of All Souls Day. May All Souls Day 2009 be a very special time in which numerous dead people everywhere make a special concerted effort to express their appreciation and give their encouragement in any way possible to Ron Paul and other tireless workers for the realization of fiscal sanity on earth. Likewise, may people living on earth in bodies of clay extend their gaze upwards and earnestly yearn for the immanent incarnation of large numbers of people able to help bring justice and reason to the world through assisting in the abolition of central banking from every last den and foxhole on earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of how much progress happens in terms of social betterment on earth this All Souls Day, I know it's going to be a fun time for everybody. The advertisers are scared speechless by the holiday, and nobody's going to have to listen to their screeching. A pregnant stillness steals upon the earth now as the truth of immortality quietly announces itself to all who crane their ears to the language of the wind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-6218801037347527316?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/6218801037347527316/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/all-souls-day-is-special-time-to.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/6218801037347527316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/6218801037347527316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/11/all-souls-day-is-special-time-to.html' title='All Souls Day Is A Special Time To Connect With The Souls Of The Dead'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/Su6ZQDjXSCI/AAAAAAAAADQ/muNiifAWELo/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-11-02+at+2.53.03+AM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7834840379619589330</id><published>2009-10-30T06:52:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T07:13:45.622-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><title type='text'>How The Branches Of A Tree Have Something Special To Reveal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SurJzfo8V_I/AAAAAAAAADI/aEZ2ZaE1BwU/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-10-30+at+7.09.03+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SurJzfo8V_I/AAAAAAAAADI/aEZ2ZaE1BwU/s640/Screen+shot+2009-10-30+at+7.09.03+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Looking upon a tree, marvelous wonders reveal themselves. The branches extend upwards and arch out, over and around the trunk of the tree. They hang suspended there. The wood of the tree supports them. The wood is dense and secure. It didn't exist at all prior to the tree gradually coming to exist upon the earth. Now it exists and is wonderfully manifest. It can't be brought down except by strenuous effort and exertion of human muscles, which themselves have come to exist from out of nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The roots of the tree are hidden underground. They occupy a parallel and reflective dimension to the visible branches. They represent the unseen source and well of strength of all that comes to appear upon the terrestrial surface of the earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tree is variable and becoming. It is mutable through the seasons, dropping its dead leaves in the Autumn: Awe-Tomb. This is neat. It's a splendid season of death in which the dancing reaper prances about, whispering death threats that are acted upon in the wind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the tree is going to be barren and spare throughout the winter. It might get some snow on it at some point, and this will transform it into another dimension altogether from the one it lives in presently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tree has many secrets and well thought-out plans for its future. At this moment it plans to cloak itself anew with leaves in the Spring. It's keeping this a secret now, though, because it knows it would be laughed at like a madman were it to boast of what is to be. It's just too improbable that resurrection is possible upon the earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tree is worshipping the Lord under heaven's dome. It's just one of many reverencers and devotees of God, alongside the woodshed, the stars, and the night. It's silent in its wisdom and speaks what it knows in demonstrations rather than words. It's the antidote to noise everywhere, and the compensation for all vain proclamation. It transcends all showmanship and branches out in radiation free of vanity and ambition. No social climber or sycophant, the tree bends to no one but the wind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7834840379619589330?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7834840379619589330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-branches-of-tree-have-something.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7834840379619589330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7834840379619589330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-branches-of-tree-have-something.html' title='How The Branches Of A Tree Have Something Special To Reveal'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SurJzfo8V_I/AAAAAAAAADI/aEZ2ZaE1BwU/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-10-30+at+7.09.03+AM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7720270065723563436</id><published>2009-10-27T17:57:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T03:18:58.124-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>False Flags To Watch Out For</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A favorite mechanism by which power-seekers attempt to consolidate control is the "false flag" attack, where a country or entity stages an attack upon itself to justify outward policies which would otherwise be unacceptable. An example is the "Reichstag Fire" which Hitler staged to initiate martial operations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In July 2001, radio host Alex Jones predicted that rogue elements within the US Government would stage a false flag attack on American soil and blame it on Osama bin Laden. A month and a half later, his prediction came true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2006, journalist Seymour Hersh reported that Dick Cheney had formulated plans to stage a false flag attack against American ships in the Middle East and blame it on Iran to justify an America invasion. Hersh deserves credit for helping prevent this false flag attack by broadcasting Cheney's scheme before it could happen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is possible for vigilant observers of world events to discern possible false flag attacks which could occur. For example, the author of the blog "&lt;a href="http://sherriequestioningall.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-think-i-have-figured-it-out-holy-shit.html" id="li7:" target="_blank" title="Sherrie Questioning All"&gt;Sherrie Questioning All&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;" recognized that the Swine Flu of 2009 could be used as a cover to eliminate the US Dollar from circulation through the fear tactic of claiming dollar bills spread Swine Flu. This could usher in a cashless society which certain power holders seek for purposes of controlling people's medium of monetary activity electronically. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesse Dylan, Bob Dylan's son, produced a video in 2009 in which numerous voices spoke in favor of a free and open Internet. The video mentioned that Washington lobbyists for certain interest groups actively seek to limit openness and freedom on the Internet for their own economic gain and power consolidation. Senator Jay Rockefeller, heir to one of the most imperialistic dynasties in the world, wishes the Internet had never been invented. Given this climate of opposition to the Internet, a tragic online false flag operation could be staged, hacking into people's computers to justify control of the Internet by the very hackers themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numerous power-idolaters, such as Warren Buffett and Dick Cheney, have been warning for years of the possibility of a terrorist nuclear attack on American soil. Given Cheney's known penchant for staging false flag operations, a nuclear attack in America would be carefully scrutinized for the fingerprints of any person or organization Cheney is associated with. Such an attack could be used to justify mobilization against whichever group it is blamed on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confiscation of fire-arms in America could be accomplished by sinister elements through a cold-blooded false flag assassination of Barack Obama blamed upon US militia members. The immense dedication numerous Americans have towards Obama could then be channeled by the assassins themselves to mobilize America against gun ownership. This would allow traitorous American neo-imperialist infiltrators unfettered martial law capabilities in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7720270065723563436?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7720270065723563436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/false-flags-to-watch-out-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7720270065723563436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7720270065723563436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/false-flags-to-watch-out-for.html' title='False Flags To Watch Out For'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-5454993063547846893</id><published>2009-10-27T01:34:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T22:43:10.620-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>Modern Day Martyr Movement</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A modern day martyr movement is possible and supremely to be hoped for. It is also of course scary. But so many people's lives lack meaning that sacrificing oneself to a higher purpose can paradoxically be life-affirming and promoting. "He who would save his life shall loose it, and he who would loose his life shall gain it." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A martyr impulse is valuable for strategic purposes in a world climate dominated by fear. Often when a principled public servant steps forth with reports of mis-deeds within the gears of government, that person is snuffed out. Paul Wellstone is one example of this. Assassination is indeed an effective tool when applied sparingly and in relatively cautious measure. But it becomes highly problematic to assassinate an entire culture of intentional martyrs. To do so only confirms the perspectives of the people sacrificing their lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it would be nice for people not to feel a need to be willing to die for justice and noble intentions, realistically a thoroughly corrupt world system will tend to kill these people anyway if they demonstrate indications of being able to assist considerable numbers of people improve their lives and gain liberty from economic slavery systems. In an age of wayward imbalance, martyrdom suddenly doesn't seem like such an unusual idea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1536 &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?id=3160069"&gt;William Tyndale&lt;/a&gt; was imprisoned, strangled and burnt on a stake. He had translated the New Testament into English for the first time in history from the earliest original Greek sources. This was not appreciated at all by contemporary religious authorities who put an end to Tyndale's translating activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with Tyndale and earlier Christian martyrs, people today who seek and broadcast the purest possible truth are a major irritant to power brokers who would prefer a world fashioned upon lies conducive to their earthly control schemes. However, prospective martyrs today are less likely to be killed for religious reasons than for exposing the criminal Federal Reserve System, or revealing 9-11 to have been a "false flag" operation, where rogue elements within a government attack their own citizens to justify imperialism foreign and domestic.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-5454993063547846893?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/5454993063547846893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/modern-day-martyr-movement.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5454993063547846893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5454993063547846893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/modern-day-martyr-movement.html' title='Modern Day Martyr Movement'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-5568760028050128113</id><published>2009-10-24T16:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-25T23:17:01.416-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>Authority Backlinks From God</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SuNf2VX9MbI/AAAAAAAAAC4/2O7KBdfUmR8/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-10-24+at+2.22.34+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SuNf2VX9MbI/AAAAAAAAAC4/2O7KBdfUmR8/s320/Screen+shot+2009-10-24+at+2.22.34+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In getting your website noticed and ranked, one of the most important factors is backlinks from authority websites linking to your site. When this happens it tells search engines that your website is important and worthy of further notice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the life of the pray-er- that is, the one who prays- backlinks are similarly important. In this case, when the backlinks come from God, those are considered the highest ranking authority backlinks of all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get God to link his site- Creation itself- to your site- your self- it is helpful to first send out a link from your site to His. This is called a prayer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you first start sending out prayers to God, you might not get a reciprocal response right away. God might want to test or assess you as you are presently. Of course, the appearance of no response actually is a response: it's a response of indicating the value of feeling oneself to be independent and in no way able to force God to respond to one, like a wet nurse to a cranky infant. Such a responsive apparent non-response indicates the lawful operation and supreme beneficence of grace, which alone can repair one from the dung heap of immanent death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In social mediation of your own website with other websites, it sometimes happens that a relatively low authority site will link to your site. This is better than nothing. It still helps your site become more relevant online. Similarly, it can happen that your prayers are noted and attended to by an angel, or archangel, or other such lower ranking member of God's network. Hey, this is pretty cool. It's great. It's really nice to know that a celestial representative has noted your prayer, and taken the time to get back to you in some way about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A website really takes off when other websites want to link to it voluntarily. Through naked organic interest the site goes viral like an inevitable component of humanity's consciousness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through personal readying, one can find oneself visited by the grace of interest of divine hierarchical kindness. In quite unique and exceptional circumstances, God Himself can seemingly voluntarily approach one on account of one's disposition. This voluntary authority backlink from the singular source of generation reconfigures one's entire being and calibrates it with a mega-viral campaign: Creation itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-5568760028050128113?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/5568760028050128113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/authority-backlinks-from-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5568760028050128113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5568760028050128113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/authority-backlinks-from-god.html' title='Authority Backlinks From God'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/SuNf2VX9MbI/AAAAAAAAAC4/2O7KBdfUmR8/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-10-24+at+2.22.34+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-2732008353260402498</id><published>2009-10-23T08:05:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T16:11:42.804-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>Using God</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In any relationship it's possible for a person to feel they are being used by another person. Some people use others for sex; or money; or status. In the mystical life, it's possible to wonder if one has been using God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been wondering if I've been using God. Have I been using God as a drug? Or a crutch? Or an escape mechanism? That wouldn't be good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A corollary to this question is whether God has been using me. I don't really feel used. I do suppose, however, that I have been being &lt;i&gt;employed&lt;/i&gt; to a certain extent. I like employment with God. It's not slavery, it's not drudgery at all. It's as fun as can be, except when it isn't. I have to pass through flaming hoops and mine fields now and then, and sometimes I get a little perturbed by this. Oh well. That's just the way it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earthly employers tend to really get me down. They're generally such rodent-like creatures that I just can't figure out why I'm working for them. &lt;i&gt;They&lt;/i&gt;'re not my boss. They're just rodents. It's no wonder I seek as much earthly unemployment as possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one employer whom I'm most loyal to, though, and that is God. He is a good guy. I never feel that He is unworthy of my service. In fact, I always feel that I can just barely reach the level of excellence He has allowed me access to. How could I go any higher than that, when it's not always easily feasible to do what God has permitted me to? Well, I guess I am building muscles in the gymnasium of Creation. It's actually a lot of fun, and I always thoroughly enjoy myself while I'm doing it, even though I don't get paid a penny for my labors. Who cares, though? I think what I'm doing is called "storing up treasures in heaven", and I like that way more than earthly banking which is just pretty much a drab affair.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-2732008353260402498?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/2732008353260402498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/using-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/2732008353260402498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/2732008353260402498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/using-god.html' title='Using God'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-5189621842684254427</id><published>2009-10-20T00:11:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T00:12:33.868-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>Private Slavery System</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Federal Reserve System(&lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="FR'S,FIRS,FURS,FR,RS"&gt;FRS&lt;/span&gt;) can more precisely be referred to as the Private Slavery System(&lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="PAS,PASS,PISS,POSS,PUSS"&gt;PSS&lt;/span&gt;). The Federal Reserve is not federal. It is private. It is run by private international bankers. These bankers gained control of America's money supply on Dec. 23, 1913, when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. It gave control of the nation's money to international private bankers. From that point on, if the government wanted money, it would always accrue debt to the private bankers. Prior to Dec. 23, 1913, whenever the government needed money it created it itself. It was never in debt because the government itself was the source of monetary generation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Private Slavery System hijacked the nation's money supply, taxation began in America. This taxation served one purpose: to pay off the interest on "debt owed" to the private bankers from the money the bankers "loaned" the government. If the nation's money supply had not been kidnapped by the international bankers, America would not have been in "debt" to these fraudulent parasites. It would have continued to control the money supply itself as it had done until Dec. 23, 1913. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The private bankers became the slave-masters of all Americans. The Internal Revenue Service (created in &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="conjunction,conjugation,conjuration,contention,convention"&gt;conjunction&lt;/span&gt; with the Private Slavery System) began to extract taxes from Americans to pay the interest on "debt owed" to the Private Slavery System from its "loan" to the US Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Internal Revenue Service(IRS) can be referred to more exactly as the Fraudulent Extortionist Racket(FER). It would not exist if the nation's money supply had not been misappropriated by the Private Slavery System. The only purpose of the Fraudulent Extortionist Racket is to strong-arm Americans into paying the interest on the "debt owed" to the illegal and unconstitutional Private Slavery System from its "loan" to the US Government, which stands on the periphery of collapse from its nearly hundred year long serial gang-rape from several &lt;span class="misspell" id="bad_word" suggestions="successive,jussive,successor,seclusive,success"&gt;successive&lt;/span&gt; generations of central banker rapist scum, spawned from the bowels of the infernal pit they earnestly wish to drag the United States into.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-5189621842684254427?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/5189621842684254427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/private-slavery-system.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5189621842684254427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5189621842684254427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/private-slavery-system.html' title='Private Slavery System'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-5959706541447791346</id><published>2009-10-19T19:58:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T20:01:19.783-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Angels'/><title type='text'>My Guardian Angel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;My guardian angel is floating around behind my head. He's keeping track of what's going on. He is able to watch me in such a way as to see the back of my head. He is my rear guard. It's a good thing he's there, and I appreciate what he's doing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's called my genius by some people. He holds the awareness of the template of my being. He knows as much as, if not more than, I do about the trajectory of my passage through physicality and temporality. He knows, for example, when it's best for a rock to fall on my head, metaphorically speaking, as well as when it may be appropriate for me to feel myself being promoted and advancing gracefully through the field of life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although there may exist economic recessions and depressions, booms and busts, from time to time, these monetary factors do not so much concern my guardian angel, though he is certainly aware of them and able to incorporate their dynamics into the tapestry of my biography. My guardian angel is a fine economist. He is a divine economist, and knows how the economies of heaven and earth intersect. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since he does not need to feed or clothe himself, nor find housing, my guardian angel is freed up to concentrate on essential aspects of universal becoming, rather than worrying and fretting about cash flow and the payment of bills. He knows that such temporal concerns are the province of earth life. He is not naive to the need for a pair of quality shoes for one's feet. He knows it makes a difference to people's experience of life if they reside in a cardboard box or a condominium or a palace. But because he's looking significantly beyond one's place of shelter from the elements, he doesn't get bogged down in real estate matters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of earth years approaching me right now. They're flying towards me from the future. It would be of great delight to my guardian angel if I were able to get the most out of these opportunities. He would feel he had done a good job. I want to tell him that he is doing a good job, no matter what. Since people have free wills, no guardian angel is able to force a person to do anything. Guardian angels are trusted advisers and companions, not marionette operators.&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-5959706541447791346?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/5959706541447791346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-guardian-angel.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5959706541447791346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/5959706541447791346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-guardian-angel.html' title='My Guardian Angel'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-4450330189977189842</id><published>2009-10-17T22:17:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-17T22:18:35.572-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>"Thy Will Be Fulfilled"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;There is one phrase that makes me feel safe: "Thy will be fulfilled". This means, "Lord, may I freely choose to do Thy will. May I have the impression that I am acting from my own sovereign volition. Yet in doing so, may it be the case that the choices I make work with the processes You are overseeing and unfolding in the universe."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like this prayer because it gives me the impression that after I say it I can kind of just go off and do more or less what I feel like and it will all just kind of work out essentially okay because I have asked that my volition be in alignment with what God is unfolding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly God's intentions are massive, overshadowing for example even &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="Wall,Waly,Wail,Wale,Weal"&gt;Wal&lt;/span&gt;-Mart's ongoing campaign to be the world's number one retailer. So if anything should be foolish enough to frivolously go against the current of what God is orchestrating and engineering, it can be likened to a drunken harpooner in a row-boat, arrogantly poking a behemoth whale with his harpoon. The leviathan will feel what amounts to a vaguely irksome itch upon its whale skin, such as a person feels from an infant mosquito who is still learning how to bite people. The whale will twitch slightly and the harpooner will be lost and forgotten in the ocean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This prayer is very efficient time wise, requiring only moments to register with oneself and God. It is rejuvenating, like refreshing your web browser window on your computer- it brings everything up to snuff. If anything was remotely stuck it has now been unloosened to move on. God and Man are friends again, and both know it. They are working together now and are going to do something good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Man was feeling a little confused and unsure how to proceed until he said this prayer. Now he is okay. He's just going to do what he feels like and he's pleasantly confident that &lt;span class="misspell" suggestions="every thing's,every-thing's,everything,Efrain's,urethane's"&gt;everything's&lt;/span&gt; going to be okay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly any number of worst-case scenarios could plague the mind of Man. But he has to do only two things in this life: 1. Be. 2. Become. Other than that there are no strict requirements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After praying, he feels the accompaniment of the most benevolent companion in the universe blasting negativity and fear as though they were just video game spectres. He's walking around without a single unit of money or prospect for its acquirement, and without a single fear. He's just stepping on the ground with each foot in succession, confident he is going in the right direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-4450330189977189842?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/4450330189977189842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/thy-will-be-fulfilled.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/4450330189977189842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/4450330189977189842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/thy-will-be-fulfilled.html' title='&quot;Thy Will Be Fulfilled&quot;'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7258662217434103020</id><published>2009-10-16T00:44:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T12:35:51.389-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>God's Operations, Clandestine and Overt</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="hdzl" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dhmrmn9t_18dw4b4h7k_b" style="width: 100%;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;God conducts a wide variety of operations, some clandestine, some overt. Sometimes you can kind of see what He is up to, other times He is effectively inscrutable. He is chameleon like. Incidentally, He also invented chameleons, so He was the first person to think up that kind of mutability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt; Now, God is not always able to disguise His operations. In fact, in some ways He does a downright poor job of hiding from people. Certainly, the insistent researcher will tend to find clues God has left strewn here and there as He conducts His affairs. This is simply inevitable. After all, God created everything in the universe. This includes free will. Free will requires that we have the impression of being independent and sovereign actors, able to do as we choose, so our choices will seem to us to truly be free. For this appearance to work, it has been necessary for God to attempt to hide so that His creatures will have the impression of being master-less sovereigns. However, a number of sleuths have readily caught on to what God is up to, and have called Him out concerning His little game He created here for us. I am one of these detectives and I am presenting aspects of my case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt; I first consciously realized there is no way God can effectively hide from people when I was travelling through the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is a fine stretch of majestic mountains and stately trees. It's suitably quiet and peaceful. I had stopped to admire certain aspects of God's handiwork when I realized that, although God had attempted to convey an aura of remoteness about Himself as far as His interaction with people, there was simply no way the Lord could feasibly cover His tracks. For example, in seeing fit to fabricate trees He had endowed them with certain geometric characteristics that betrayed His engineering skills. In fashioning birds from out of nothing He had skillfully cloaked and adorned them in pleasantly appearing feathers, which also were optimized for in-air flight performance. "Who is this joker?", I thought to myself. "Does He really think He can hide when He has left birds like that flying all over the place, landing in trees and so forth? He is obviously trying to appear remote as far as human civilization is concerned, but I hope He is in no way under the impression that He has in any way erased His tracks or anything because, if He thinks that, He is wrong."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt; In certain other key respects, however, I will acknowledge that the Lord has done an effective job in cultivating an aura of inscrutability. For example, in regard to the mystery of infinity God has managed to preserve greater secrecy than the Manhattan Project. And yet, is not finding oneself in the midst of infinity in a way also another pretty blatant clue that there is a Supernatural Architect loose in the universe? Infinity is really just too big a secret to hide. It may not be known how God is pulling off this infinity trick, but the existence of infinity is just one more instance of circumstantial evidence betraying God's Being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt; In a way, the universe can be likened to the laboratory or studio of a Scientist, Artist or Inventor who has not cleaned up after Himself. God clearly shows a knack for proportion, scale, complex mathematics, pleasing color schemes, intricacy, engineering, and trans-dimensional rectification. He is curiously profligate in His zeal for seeing to it that acorns and similar generative mechanisms litter the earth. At the same time He is an ardent recycler and makes as much use of refuse as did native American people when they were finding uses for Buffaloes they killed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;br style="font-family: Courier New;" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;God has invented an interchange network extending from the minds of rational creatures, through various bureaucratic administrative levels comprised of angels, archangels and so on, reaching His Consideration. It is called prayer. It is quite invisible, though you can see evidence of it at times. For instance, it's possible to catch sight of someone praying now and then; you can sometimes see their lips moving a little, and it's obvious they're concentrating hard on something. Indeed, it can seem like a lot of work to get a prayer up to God effectively. It's like trying to rank your website on the first page in Google. After God has assessed whether you are serious or not- whether you are communicating a heartfelt message or are just trying to spam Him- He will send an appropriate response back to earth. If your prayer has really been earnest, and God is impressed, He will sometimes suspend the humanly imagined limits of what is possible, and get back to you with a Personal response. This is called a miracle. It's equivalent to getting a date with someone you feel is really out of your league. You know you're not worthy, but you're just so happy that the universe can be so good sometimes. You can hardly handle it because it's so blissful, and makes the rest of your life just seem more or less to have been a waste of time; why were you just sitting on the couch for so long being depressed when such a great occurrence as this was possible? Who knows. But I guess if it weren't for all that couch sitting time put in, this moment wouldn't have arrived, and this miracle wouldn't have occurred. So I guess it's okay that all that couch sitting took place. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7258662217434103020?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7258662217434103020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/gods-operations-clandestine-and-overt.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7258662217434103020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7258662217434103020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/gods-operations-clandestine-and-overt.html' title='God&apos;s Operations, Clandestine and Overt'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-4390556149780388105</id><published>2009-10-15T22:06:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T05:42:02.875-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hermeticism'/><title type='text'>The Mystery of Berry Berenson and 9-11</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StfUUVSA_iI/AAAAAAAAAA8/IzkeTXKulBo/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+5.42.05+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StfUUVSA_iI/AAAAAAAAAA8/IzkeTXKulBo/s320/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+5.42.05+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Berry Berenson&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;Berry Berenson was the wife of actor Anthony Perkins and mother of singer Elvis Perkins. She died after boarding American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11, 2001. I learned about the circumstances of her death from a mutual friend who knew Berry from Provincetown, Massachusetts. Recently I was reflecting on Berry in connection with the events of 9-11. I wondered what her perishing moments had been like. I realized that she possessed certain secrets in connection to 9-11. I wondered if it were possible for her to communicate those secrets in any way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I researched Berry's life and discovered her maternal grandfather was Count Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, a psychic medium. I researched the life of de Kerlor and discovered he was connected with both the English and French Alchemical Societies. In his capacity as a lecturer to these societies, de Kerlor had come to the attention of businessman J.R. Ritman, whose personal library, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; in Amsterdam, houses Hermetic literature referencing Berenson's grandfather. Ritman's fortune which he used to create his library was made selling plastic ware for airlines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here was a synchronistic situation. I had elected to study Berry Berenson's life to gain a more personalized conception of the events of 9-11. Since I knew a mutual friend of Berry's I felt I might in some way be part of her "Hermetic circle", as some people call the society of one's familiars. Since this mutual friend had informed me unsolicited about the circumstances of Berry's death I felt there could be a peculiar destiny component in my having been told this information. Perhaps I was asked or called in some capacity to consider Berry and the secrets she surely possesses in some measure. That her grandfather was a psychic medium said that the terrain I was approaching was in no way foreign to her heritage. She came from a tradition of communication between worlds and it was natural that her own life across the threshold should continue it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also synchronistic is that the memory of Berry's grandfather is preserved in a library financed by wealth made from the airline industry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Thus, in researching Berry's death connected to air travel, I am led to a library funded by air travel; it is in this library devoted to sacred mystery that I find a remembrance of Berry's grandfather. The library, Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;, is specifically devoted to the "Christian-Hermetic" tradition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the greatest twentieth century representative of the Christian-Hermetic tradition was Valentin Tomberg. When he died in 1973 Valentin Tomberg left behind an anonymous book called "Meditations on the Tarot", specifically written to be published after his death. In the book, the anonymous author greets the reader from "beyond the grave". He explicitly indicates that he is available to the reader in his present capacity. This is a good example of how Christian Hermeticism is an inter-dimensional affair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In being dedicated to Christian Hermeticism, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; aligns itself with a tradition of crossing the threshold between heaven and earth. This library honors the life of Berry's grandfather. And this library is footnoted in Berry's Wikipedia entry. Thus, in studying Berry's life for what can be considered Christian-Hermetic purposes, I discover that my interest is part of a sequence of events beginning with: 1. Berry's psychic medium grandfather; 2. Airline industry businessman J.R. Ritman's preservation of Berry's grandfather's memory in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica; 3. Berry's death connected with American Airlines Flight 11 on 9-11; 4. My Christian-Hermetic interest in Berry and her present relation to the world she exited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is as though the events preceding my research called me to investigate the mysteries they contain. These mysteries cross time, thresholds, cultures, languages and worlds, proceeding from the unmeasurable past into the equally vast and inscrutable future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-4390556149780388105?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/4390556149780388105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/investigation-of-mystery-of-berry.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/4390556149780388105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/4390556149780388105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/investigation-of-mystery-of-berry.html' title='The Mystery of Berry Berenson and 9-11'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StfUUVSA_iI/AAAAAAAAAA8/IzkeTXKulBo/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+5.42.05+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7710944495722987370</id><published>2009-10-14T17:24:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T04:28:04.331-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>Divine Collaboration</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StgtEonJrYI/AAAAAAAAABw/qJqviAiydjY/s1600-h/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StgtEonJrYI/AAAAAAAAABw/qJqviAiydjY/s320/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Those people who submit themselves most rigorously to the shadow of the wing of divine protection are paid in one currency only: grace. Their time zone is always that of synchronicity. Their sole possession on earth is divine collaboration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the difference between such a sanyasi, or renouncer, and a homeless person? Intention. The sanyasi seeks minimization of possessions and maximization of divine receptivity, divine possession. This gives the sanyasi the grace to persevere through life with the outer possessions of a vagabond and the inner possessions of an industrial captain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What motivates the sanyasi to give up every earthly attachment to follow God? An intuition or anticipation or vision of the crucifixion of the world. In 2009 the debt owed by the United States government to its central bank threatens to reach levels at which the payment of its interest alone has become impossible. When this happens, the survival of the US dollar, if not the United States itself, becomes questionable. This constitutes the crucifixion of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US crucifixion anticipates the crucifixion of the world itself. The World Bank stands ready to operate as the central bank of the planet, analogous to the way the Federal Reserve has operated as the central bank of the United States since 1913. Already many so-called third world countries are enslaved to the World Bank with interest on debt owed impossible to meet. This has been the case in one sense or another in Panama, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, for example. Thus, the World Bank has effectively foreclosed on such countries, taking their assets into receivership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the ultimate aim of those who would ensnare nations in shackles of debt? Neo-imperialism: conquest by infiltration and vampiricism. What is the aim of this? Wealth, power and status in some proportion, obtained via relative stable security on earth. In contrast, what is the aim of the sanyasi? Poverty, chastity and obedience, or some variant of this basic thrust. How is this approached? Through total and unshakable security relative to the vaults of heaven, reflected on earth in the appearance of precariousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The signature of the imperialist is arrogance and self-will. The abiding characteristic of the sanyasi tends to be persistent confusion as to which path is best to follow. Which possible decision at any given moment allows one to be most surrendered to the intentions of the divine architect of the universe as He fashions His ongoing handiwork? The imperialist is perfectly okay mobilizing armies for the slaughter of millions. The sanyasi tends to be concerned as to whether they have turned down the optimal street at any given moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sanyasi embodies a peculiar contradiction: their only possession is perpetual uncertainty accompanying their every decision as how best to collaborate with God. Yet the cross of this ambiguity paradoxically provides the greatest possible security universally. The sanyasi is harmonized with heaven and earth. Capable in earth life, prepared and anticipatory of trans-physicality. The sanyasi is so future-oriented that they are like an infant in reverse, preparing for birth into heaven. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7710944495722987370?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7710944495722987370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/divine-collaboration.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7710944495722987370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7710944495722987370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/divine-collaboration.html' title='Divine Collaboration'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StgtEonJrYI/AAAAAAAAABw/qJqviAiydjY/s72-c/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-7869296287097196041</id><published>2009-10-13T16:43:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T03:42:17.172-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metaphysics'/><title type='text'>Karma And Grace</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;How do karma and grace relate to one another? Initially, it could seem that karma and grace are opposing principles in the universe. After all, karma is law, and grace is the suspension of law in what some people call miracle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;If we look a little deeper, however, we arrive at some interesting and suggestive considerations. First, although grace assuredly is supernatural suspension of ordinary cause and effect- miracle, in other words- karma, too is pretty miraculous when pondered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;What is karma? It is the consequence of action according to universal law. This makes rational sense, but discovering how karma is able to operate in the universe boggles the mind. In this respect, karma is as mysterious as grace; only its approximate predictable trajectory is more able to be anticipated. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;So, karma and grace are mysterious; are miraculous; are seemingly inscrutable. Is this any wonder when we are dealing with the majesty of God's engineering handiwork of creation? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;At this point we have established that karma and grace are each worthy of reverence as supernatural operations. What we can benefit from at this point is the consideration of how these two principles differ, and how we can choose to relate to them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;Karma as law can seem like a rather rigid concept. This may be so. It's possible that karma is rigid. It's possible that it's in some ways analogous to a credit card debt that burdens one. Yet it's also possible that karma is able to be transcended. This is not necessarily to say that karma can be avoided or denied. But due to the majestic benefit of grace, it is possible for karma- the taskmaster of legal stipulation- to be disolved or at least de-emphasized. How can this be? Let us reflect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;It so happens in universal unfoldment that from time to time certain critical nexus points arrive. What is an example of such a juncture? To continue with a banking analogy, we can look at the precarious financial condition of certain systemically integrated banks in the twenty first century. Some of these banks could simply fail. Were this to happen, it could conceivably happen that one's indebtedness incurred through such banks would suddenly diminish if not cease to exist altogether. What an enormous relief this would be. It also would not seem to be tremendously probable at all. But nonetheless it could happen. This would be an example of a manifestation of a kind of grace. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"&gt;To apply this metaphor of grace relative to karma in our own lives, we can arrive at a picture of a way of being that requests and petitions grace as a preferential mechanism for dealing with karma. Of course, there is no guarantee that this intention will work. But it theoretically could work. And the literature of metaphysics is full of examples of the demonstrable relationship between human intention and the world that results from this intention. It is no stretch or unrealistic expectation to say that people can choose to lessen their karmic burden through requesting grace from universal directions. Although this petitionary work- what some people call prayer- is by no means easy in all cases, it is effective. And for those preferring to experience grace superabundantly, and karma minimally, it is prayerful intention and entreaty that drives the engine of karmic dissolution and gratuitious serendipity as humanity proceeds in its approach to its creator. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-7869296287097196041?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/7869296287097196041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/karma-and-grace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7869296287097196041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/7869296287097196041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/karma-and-grace.html' title='Karma And Grace'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-9211225163250262303</id><published>2009-10-13T01:36:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T03:00:57.249-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>Parallel World</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Following is the conception of a "parallel world". This world consists of a parallel President of the United States, a parallel US Congress, a parallel Trilateral Commission, and a parallel Bilderberg Group, for example. In other words, for every significant office of influence upon the course of world history, a parallel office can be created to assess the officer in question. This provides an answer to the question, "Who will guard the guards?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The US Congress (among other governmental entities) is hopelessly corrupt. Videoed testimony of Sibel Edmonds indicates that illegal and questionable operations are common within the highest offices of US government. America requires a courageous Congress if it is to address the pivotal issue facing it: the redemption of a monetary system akin to a Ponzi scheme. But our Congresspeople cannot effectively address this crucial consideration: they are too mired in blackmail traps, for example, to be able to legislate prudently. They need citizens' help if they are to rise to the challenge of monetary correction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Perhaps the most effective way to ensure that each member of Congress works earnestly to redeem the monetary system is to have a parallel Congressperson for each present person occupying Congressional office. This parallel Congressperson can be anyone of integrity; for example, G. Edward Griffin could be a parallel Congressperson for one of the seats in California, where he lives. Karl Denninger could be a parallel Congressperson in Florida. Ellen Hodgson Brown, Mish Shedlock and Joan Veon are further examples of upright citizens of integrity who would be able to effectively guide present congresspeople towards useful action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These parallel congresspeople would relentlessly insist upon meetings with the member of congress they were representing. These meetings would be filmed for public release. The central theme that would be hammered upon- with brutal persistence if necessary- in these meetings would be the correction of the wayward economic operations plaguing the United States at present. The congresspeople would be informed that they are responsible for the nation's money supply. They would be educated about the illegal and sociopathic nature of the Federal Reserve. They would be forgiven for all their questionable decisions and let off the hook completely for everything they've ever done, &lt;i&gt;provided&lt;/i&gt;: they go to work immediately for America and the world by insisting upon an audit of the Federal Reserve and, if need be, its abolition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a member of congress refuses to meet with a parallel congressperson, copious documentary video reporting of this slack behavior will be publicly released. Report grades will be tabulated for each person in congress, with outstanding servants of the nation receiving "A+" and degenerate individuals being assigned an "F".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As there are 535 members of Congress there will be 535 parallel congresspeople. Each will be responsible for monitoring one congressperson and helping them to regain control of the nation's money supply. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As parallel congresspeople emerge committed to conducting filmed interviews with the congressperson they are "paralleling" their names will be noted to establish a database and standard of excellence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parallel world concept provides a vehicle for the diligent engagement of corruption and ineffectual governance. Without exception, every office and body known to exist in the world can be "paralleled" by a person or group. For example, a parallel United Nations can be established to monitor global operations. A parallel Bilderberg Group can assemble once a year to consider and publicly point out the implications of world leaders meeting clandestinely. A parallel Trilateral Commission can appear in the United States to address agendas connected with shadowy governmental infiltration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to David Rothkopf, elite rulers of world systems number around 6000 people. Certainly it may be possible to assemble a similar number of people to operate as "parallel" leaders. Initially, however, priority can be given to the gradual assemblage of 535 parallel US congresspeople for the specific purpose of overseeing the rectification of American monetary considerations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Worthy potential public stewards capable of being a parallel congressperson can volunteer for triage of the moribund nation. It is imperative that these people be grounded, profound, searing and severe. Emphasis will be placed on quality rather than quantity when assembling such folks. Gradualism builds strength and patience fosters depth. Still, the present time frame does not permit dallying and a decisive orientation towards courageous mobilization is required lest America be hopelessly overrun by private offshore bankers rapacious for appropriation of the last tent city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-9211225163250262303?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/9211225163250262303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/parallel-world.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/9211225163250262303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/9211225163250262303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/parallel-world.html' title='Parallel World'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-3778846945694943355</id><published>2009-10-13T01:15:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T03:45:57.541-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><title type='text'>Harbinger Squirrel</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Squirrel is appearing around the yard. He is gathering nuts and so forth. He is preparing for Winter. He is keeping his stuff stored at an undisclosed location. He is quite busy. I see him out there hopping around taking care of business. Squirrel is very industrious and not lazy at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;I think Squirrel is a great teacher. He is a small fellow for sure but prominent nonetheless for all his hopping about and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;peripatetic&lt;/span&gt; behaviour. He can't be missed and woe to the student who would shirk his lesson and deny Squirrel audience. Squirrel is saying, "What I'm doing, you can do too. You don't have to do it, but it makes sense to do. I'm storing food and so forth for the Winter. It is that time of year."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Squirrel is the mirror of the season. I used to be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;embarrassed&lt;/span&gt; by Squirrel when he came around. He put me to shame with all his industry and I felt lazy and useless by comparison. But now I see that I can be okay around Squirrel. He is just showing me how to plan for the future efficiently and optimize time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;I don't know where Squirrel has been this past Summer. I really didn't see him around anywhere. But now that Winter approaches I see Squirrel all the time. He is the emblem of the effective use of the present moment in Autumn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;There's nothing to be scared about with Squirrel. He's not there to put us to shame or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;embarrass&lt;/span&gt; us with his comparative accomplishments. He's not an agent of judgement; he's a friend. It's appropriate he's here. He establishes the tenor of the hour. He is the divine reflection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;We're a lot like Squirrel and it's the sadness of the awareness of our modern distance from inward &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Squirrelness&lt;/span&gt; that can inspire us to turn from Squirrel in a state of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;embarrassed&lt;/span&gt; denial, trying to pretend we can ignore Squirrel and still be okay. But that lie of the shadow of civilization does not hold and we are better friends with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;our self&lt;/span&gt;, God, existence and the world if we accept the simplicity and humility of friendship with Squirrel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-3778846945694943355?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/3778846945694943355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/harbinger-squirrel.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/3778846945694943355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/3778846945694943355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/harbinger-squirrel.html' title='Harbinger Squirrel'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-1332873111020118235</id><published>2009-10-13T00:29:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T03:45:35.804-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metaphysics'/><title type='text'>Good And Evil Make The World A More Interesting And Nuanced Place To Be</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;I awoke this morning with something of an intuition of the role of the activity of evil in the world. I imagined a land that was the three dimensional equivalent of the front page of "You Tube": an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;anaesthetised&lt;/span&gt; waste repository of mediocrity and blandness. This world would be intolerable to live in. Everyone would be nice to one another all the time. The houses would all be cared for, the streets clean. It would be a magnetic vacuum for Dick &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Cheneys&lt;/span&gt; and Henry &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Paulsons&lt;/span&gt; everywhere to infiltrate and compromise with cunning bluster and obfuscation, masking their sinister intentions. But in the face of such a homogenized, dull world would it not actually be preferable for the possibility of the principle of evil to insinuate itself into the picture? This would at least allow for the necessity of discernment. It would make people become more vigilant lest they be fooled by any Tim &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Geithner&lt;/span&gt; or Ben &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Bernanke&lt;/span&gt; to come down the road. I think that if I found myself in such a world I would probably turn to a life of deception of some sort for no other reason than that it would at least make things interesting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Fortunately, however, we do not live in such a world. Our planet is literally infested with wickedness. People such as Ken Lay and Donald &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Rumsfeld&lt;/span&gt; embody the collective burden of malfeasance within themselves, sometimes making up for the potential criminal tendencies of others a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;million fold&lt;/span&gt; by manufacturing more malevolence than a whole city could reasonably be expected to commit. This frees the majority of citizens to attempt to exercise virtue to balance the disproportionate complement of iniquity worldwide. In this sense, the great criminals we are able to identify- such as Dov &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Zakheim&lt;/span&gt; who oversaw the disappearance of two trillion dollars from Pentagon coffers- do us a favor by taking on all that negative karma upon themselves. This frees up more people to try to grow in goodness towards the Lord, whose kindness and generosity far exceeds the ephemeral pleasures of smoke and dust won by the great &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;neo&lt;/span&gt;-imperialists and war &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;machinationists&lt;/span&gt; of today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-1332873111020118235?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/1332873111020118235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/good-and-evil-make-world-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/1332873111020118235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/1332873111020118235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/good-and-evil-make-world-more.html' title='Good And Evil Make The World A More Interesting And Nuanced Place To Be'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776229034171339490.post-6360801936994704268</id><published>2009-10-13T00:05:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-17T06:57:34.169-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><title type='text'>Is God Ever Especially Loyal Or Partial To One Brand Over Another?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;An important and significant question in the study of divinity concerns God's relationship to brand loyalty. Does God have any particular favorite brands that he prefers over other brands? Let's consider this possibility in some depth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;We know that in general God is very loyal. He just will not fail you no matter how rotten you are. Even Dick Cheney or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Rahm &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Emanuel is able to befriend God should they simply turn their free will away from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;sociopathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt; and towards contrition for their considerable wickedness. Even should these criminals continue in their deplorable mania, God Himself will think kindly towards them. After all He created them from out of nothing. It grieves God unspeakably to see His creatures behaving as these charlatans do. But that's the price of free will. If such characters as Henry &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Paulson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt; and Chairman &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Bernanke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt; did not exist, who would represent sinister possibilities in the world? Someone else would have to step into the role of operating the illegal Federal Reserve system that these shills presently work for. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Like it or not, humanity possesses free will. God understands the potential trouble free will can cause for people, and he forgives malevolence. Does God love consumer brands with similar disregard for their relative strengths and merits? Does God prefer Apple to IBM? Can He reasonably be expected to overlook the strength of a principled company such as Honda and esteem it equally with an automotive outfit that specializes in product &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;obsolescence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Hmm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;When it comes to Apple there would seem to be a strong case to be made that God really enjoys and appreciates their products as well as overall company culture. After all, the Apple brand logo features a picture of one of the very pieces of fruit God created, with a bite taken out of it, suggesting that one of God's own products has obviously found a market on earth. If you were God, wouldn't it be hard for you not to prefer a company that is endorsing part of your product line free of charge? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;In the case of Honda Motors, this fine outfit produces vehicles that last, for a relatively reasonable price. Should a Honda break down it is not terribly difficult or expensive to fix. It is simply not possible to express in words the joy God feels when He sees one of His sheep traveling in such a vehicle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;It seems clear that, while God loves people quite universally, He is more particular when it comes to specific brands. God hates to see a second-rate product break down in the hands of one of His creatures, especially when the purchase of a superior product would have obviated this problem. Analogous to the way that God hates corruption even though He loves Ken Lay (Can you believe it is even theoretically possible to like, let alone love, such a fraudulent huckster? God indeed possesses supernatural powers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Incidentally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;, God has not as yet been able have a face to face with Ken Lay, who faked his own death and is presently hiding down in Paraguay), God abhors poor quality brands even though He loves the slave merchant employers of Chinese prison laborers who make them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4776229034171339490-6360801936994704268?l=hierocryptic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/feeds/6360801936994704268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/is-god-ever-especially-loyal-or-partial_12.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/6360801936994704268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4776229034171339490/posts/default/6360801936994704268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hierocryptic.blogspot.com/2009/10/is-god-ever-especially-loyal-or-partial_12.html' title='Is God Ever Especially Loyal Or Partial To One Brand Over Another?'/><author><name>Jed Curtis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uyguHDcTNUM/StggMN461DI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YBC594OR5KI/S220/Screen+shot+2009-10-15+at+4.22.24+PM.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
