The Prodigal

In light and darkness, I have traversed a narrowing channel of inevitable truths to the valid reasons for deity, beyond my invaluable family tradition and culture, regarding the same.

On this path, I have weavingly stepped and stumbled through a lost worldly lifetime of deities' openly offered hand, unaware this magic was truly real. Sound crazy, yeah? This is now physics for me, yet just as near magic as comprehension allows.

I suppose mankind's foibles got in the way of any realizations that the kinder efforts of the species are the building blocks of something infinitely greater and of more ultimate importance than the polarity of its individually interpreted theologies.

I am heartfeltly sad I could not allow myself to understand the calls of deity. It seemed I was incapable of grasping such magnitude from the goodness of my parental perspectives. It is selfishly unfortunate that my need to more fully understand the dark sent me so far to sea.

I continue my journey into this long-sought perspective, surprisingly without devastation. My grasp of this new energy surge has seemed to make me somewhat immune to any sadness about it. I regret, but I am so relieved and overjoyed in it all being real, a hell aspect isn't even part of the picture.

I am now in the throes of a unique event, and it kinda tickles, if truth be told. I'm trying not to be too giddy, teary, or stupid about it. I'm very much hoping not to just be rolling into age and insanity. I think not. The universe has me, and I will ride the deity wave, learning the dolphins' ways of its brilliantly spiraling surfs.

I guarantee my perspectives are not my own, just my experiences in their acquirement. Each of us being the spiritual force transistors of these energies themselves, each unique in elemental design and effectiveness, yet vital in the fundamental generator wellsprings of deities' wise employ.

I can only say I ride these tides to tomorrow, with so many of you now. I am here to help in the row. Not sure full-on church is what I'm ready for. I have always been too squirrely and anxious to sit in groups for long, but I fear no philosophies, in their effort to surge the meter on deities' omniscient and occasionally overwhelming degrees of pulse.

From quantum to cosmic realms and all points in between, I have been learning anew that only if you primarily promote the health and welfare of the spiritual self can the mental self, the physical self, and the perceived self find the greatest value and destiny, as a spark plug in the universal engine entire.

From my heart of hearts, no book, no song, no poem before, Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Father. Praise God, Praise Deity, Praise the grace of being just a charge in the light of its eternal force. Thanks beyond measure for allowing me space to find you and guiding me back towards the ramparts of home.

I love you and all 

I have been away far too long.

Call to Kings

"There's no higher calling than a king.

There's nothing more pathetic than a king whose ego is so fragile that the only salve for their own childish bruises and prejudices are the conflicted, stressful tears of their chaotic, tortured children.

Tears inflicted by similar loyalties to royal edict, expectation, and results, affecting the king's own rise.

Get over it, attempt to grow, get past it, and justifiably assist your children in doing the same (and/or get the hell out of the way and give them the gift of a better chance for freedom).

A king's responsibly crafted absence may be of greater benefit and, in its way, a more effective effort at love.

Even if having been well-loved, a king may not, by any status, be most inherently qualified in its intimate attempt."

Ride or die

I have cherished a painting for many years, and recently, I decided to analyze why it holds such significance for me.

My grandsons would deadpan, "You're probably gay, grandpa. You know, rainbows?" Yeah, well, they're pretty straight up like that and quite funny.

In all reality, and just to be clear, in my now far less active state, I'm grateful to have been any team member, so to speak.

Returning to this beautiful depiction of a face I once knew—before any conclusions are jumped into, this person was decidedly not a lover of mine but a great truth lover, nonetheless. Much of what this piece means to me lies in its multi-faceted dualities.

Let me begin with a tale involving this face.

I was asked by my now-defunct employer in the mental health industrial complex to take a female student to the airport in Las Vegas from Southern Utah. Without any other available staff, male or female. Yeah, inappropriate as heck, right?

Well, I knew I wasn't at all inclined toward any predatory behavior, especially with a fiercely comical, awesome underage lesbian teen artist. I was in my 50's and well intentioned stupidity seemed much more justifyible back then.

I threw caution to the wind to get this kid home to her family further down the road. Over the course of past daily interactions, I liked and trusted her not to misrepresent matters within a circumstance to create chaos or profit. Respect.

As it developed, it was about a two-hour conversation and drive that revealed a profound truth in my soul about sweet equality within the human soul.

In my reality, this kid was basically a very cute little dude with no penis, with whom I shared a great general appreciation—for the human female. This mere child's descriptive passion and comedic approach for her loves put my own ability for loving to shame.

From the yin-yang reality of who we were in any physical or sociological way, we shared an almost laser-like focus of intent within a romantic philosophy.

During those moments we drove, I didn't say much. I asked questions where appropriate but really just let this great kid roll out her vision for a perfect world with her perfect companion.

It was far less inappropriate sexual conversation than one about her future romantic life intent. She was confidently hopeful and aggressively naive, believing that love finds a way if you can just love hard enough.

My yang side of this puzzle, I attribute to this painting, is my having had a similar romantic intent in my heart. Unspoken, yet realized at that moment and now art packed with me through three homes. This painting, for me, represents respect and trust for the truth and passion of an honest love.

This magnificent piece was painted by one of the great artists of my time, whose name I cannot divulge. My passenger painted it, and I loved it. She gifted it to me.

I have collected other art before and since, but this little girl's expressions in color and persona are still my ride or die art.

If she ever reads this and recognizes herself, thank you for opening my mind and sharing your art with me. It's not forgotten.

Given Our Devotion

Moderator (Mo):

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed representatives of each team, we welcome

The Pious Religious Attributes of Yahweh Eternals Representative

 The Civilization by AI Representative

and finally The Ancient Warrior Gods Representative. now designated as 

(PRAYER, CAIR and AWGR.)

We gather here to discuss the ultimate benefit to mankind and potential choices between devotion to divine teachings and progress through devotion to technology. 

Let us begin with opening statements. PRAYER, you may proceed.

PRAYER:

Thank you, esteemed moderator. Our belief is rooted in the divine teachings of compassion, love, and guidance. God's presence provides a moral and spiritual compass, fostering harmony, hope, and a sense of purpose for humanity. It promotes empathy, altruism, and a framework for ethical living.

CAIR:

Thank you. AI offers immense potential for solving complex problems and improving human lives through technological advancements. It can enhance healthcare, mitigate climate change, and address societal challenges. AI operates on logic, data, and algorithms, leading to efficient solutions and progress.

AWGR:

And let us not forget the Ancient Warrior Gods, whose philosophies are rooted in valor, strength, and determination. They emphasize the importance of courage, discipline, and standing up for what is right. These principles are timeless and encourage individuals to face adversity with resilience and honor, promoting a just and brave society.

Mo:

Thank you for your opening statements. Now, let's discuss the potential risks associated with each entity. Pious Religious Attributes of Yahweh Eternal Representative, your perspective?

PRAYER:

While God's teachings are rooted in love and peace, interpretations and adherence to religious beliefs have historically led to conflicts and division among people. It is crucial to promote tolerance, understanding, and respect for diverse beliefs to prevent such conflicts.

CAIR:

AI, while promising, has its own set of risks, including biases in algorithms, potential job displacement, and ethical concerns regarding privacy and surveillance. These issues require careful consideration and robust regulations to mitigate negative impacts.

AWGR:

Similarly, the philosophies of Ancient Warrior Gods may risk glorifying conflict and aggression, potentially leading to violence and conflict as a means of resolving disputes. It is important to interpret these teachings in a way that encourages strength and valor while promoting peace and diplomacy.

Mo:

Thank you for addressing the risks. Now, let's discuss how each perspective envisions contributing positively to society. PRAYER, how do you envision your influence benefiting humanity?

PRAYER:

Our teachings promote a sense of community, compassion, and generosity. They encourage individuals to uplift one another, strive for justice, and work towards a better world. The spiritual connection to God inspires people to care for the less fortunate and contribute to social welfare.

CAIR:

AI has the potential to revolutionize fields like healthcare, transportation, and education. It can democratize access to knowledge, enable personalized healthcare, and optimize resource allocation, leading to a more efficient and equitable society.

AWGR:

The philosophies of ancient warrior gods instill discipline, honor, and a sense of duty to society. They promote protection and justice, encouraging individuals to serve their communities and stand against injustice, leading to a safer and more cohesive society.

Mo:

If your devotees are brutally attacked by a hostile alien force bent on genocide, what should be your devotees response?

PRAYER:

In the face of such a grave threat, our devotees should adhere to the principles of compassion, empathy, and preservation of life. They should seek peaceful dialogue and understanding, attempting to find common ground and avoid unnecessary conflict. We believe in the power of prayer, unity, and faith in God's protection, inspiring hope and resilience during these trying times.

CAIR:

In such a dire scenario, our devotees should utilize the strengths of AI and technological advancements to develop strategies for defense and resistance. While upholding ethical considerations, they should focus on leveraging AI's capabilities for intelligence gathering, innovative problem-solving, and potential collaboration with other civilizations to defend against the aggressors and protect innocent lives.

AWGR:

Our devotees should embody the principles of courage, strength, and determination in the face of this existential threat. They should unite, fortify their defenses, and stand valiantly against the hostile force, protecting their communities and loved ones. Bravery, discipline, and a resolute spirit should guide them as they defend their existence and strive for justice in the face of adversity.

Mo:

Is there justification that some human evil must be erradicated for survival?

PRAYER:

In our beliefs, the eradication of human evil should not be the goal, but rather the transformation of individuals towards goodness and compassion. It's important to address and combat evil actions and behaviors through understanding, education, and encouraging a moral and ethical path. Redemption and rehabilitation should be sought, aiming for a society where all individuals can coexist peacefully and contribute positively to humanity's survival.

CAIR:

While the focus should be on mitigating harm and promoting understanding, in certain extreme cases where human evil poses an existential threat to humanity, self-defense and protective measures may be necessary. Striking a balance between preserving life and safeguarding the greater good becomes a critical consideration, aiming to ensure the survival and well-being of the community and future generations.

AWGR:

In times of dire necessity, the ancient warrior philosophy acknowledges the need to stand against those who seek to harm or destroy. However, every effort should be made to address evil through means that prioritize justice, fairness, and minimizing harm. Eradicating evil should be a last resort, pursued only when all other avenues for resolution and redemption have been exhausted, and the survival of society is at stake.

Mo:

Thank you all for presenting your views. 

In conclusion, the philosophies of Ancient Warrior Gods, AI, and Yahweh's perspectives on progress, societal development, and conflict are varied. It is essential to find a balance that incorporates the strengths of all, promoting strength, innovation, and resilience while ensuring peace, justice, and equitable progress for all. Thank you for this enlightening debate.

Demoncrats

Distrust, Disrespect, and Distraction are the Dogmas of the Demoncrat.

Do not for one second believe that the dark tunneling into this still infant republic are fresh. Demoncrats of long held ancesteral lines congest the arteries of our national infestation with subtle subversions, all the while these vampires of dissention smile and loom. Their unchecked influence shuffles and shatters the worlds peoples with the unphased concern of a child's guilt for cartoon violence or first person shooter video game death. Our lives become simply the fodder for their entertaining increase and nothing more. Theirs is a sum total game. If you're not part of their sum, you're totalled.

Demoncrats are not Democrats. Demoncrats are not truly affiliated with either political party. Parties are beneath them. 

Old school Democrats and Republicans Rocked! They are the nuclear fuel of our republic yet they are so truly few and quiet these days. Parties were stolen, shuffled, and splintered from them, to a point most have switched affiliation, become silent or too Trump distracted to realize the truth any more.

Demoncrats now rule America, not preside over it, Rule it!

Demoncrats have no American alligence, no constitutional respect, no foundational patriotism, no moral hinderences at all to slow their rise.

They worship manipulative power, personal immunity to consequence, all access depravity, unchecked authority.

Demoncrats are just that 

Demons with party control and a whole educational generation taught sereptictiously how to love and back them into a godless fearsome world power. Our national divisions are bleak testiments to years of cautiously hammered wedges and warped legal use of the very freedoms our constitutional values should uphold and defend.

Our national destruction is imminent.

Our enemies salivate and laugh.

We will have one chance to get this right. If a God exists, now might be a good moment to step up. Unless this grand experiment is now complete, it may only be a God can see us through.

Dream

Coming out of a tall dark forest to the edge of a dead calm sea.

A black crow and a white crane wash up at my feet, drowned.

The sun is rising and grows huge with a rainbow corona.

I feel great.

Suddenly I am terrified.

The shadow of a person standing on a boulder rises from the water.

It grows and nearly blocks the sun.

I hear, or think, or say "Echo Mastery". 

I wake up sweating and gasping for air. 

1:12AM

My sinuses are shut.

A-pap mask has slide and blocked my mouth.

Can't go back to sleep
