The Pestilence

The COVID-19 plague is at it's worst part yet. Every day it seems to get worse, and we can expect it to get much much worse with many many more deaths. The final death toll will probably be at least in the tens of millions. I am at this time writting a chronicle of the pandemic that I have planned to be published after the pestilence is past.

Alone is how to find me.

APARTMENT BUILDING NUMBER 9
I live in Apartment building number 9. When I moved in, the number was entirely irrelevant, because it was displayed no where on the building. Good luck on figuring out which building was which. Without label, or any existing reference outside of a meaningless verbal mention, the assigned building numbers were completely without any value or usability. What good was a building number that can't possibly be descerned when it technically didn't even exist? Entirely pointless system to assign numbers to buildings without printing the number anywhere on it. It's like having five babies and coming up with five names for them, but not bothering to assign them to any of them. Five names. Five babies. Neither one having any relation to the other in any way whatsoever.However the number of the building my apartment is in happens to be a sacred number in the Baha'i Faith. I'm Baha'i. And my building is 9. Coincidence? No. There are no coincides, everything has meaning and a purpose. The Universe does not ever utter a single message that is without it's deep meaning and interconnectedness with other aspects within reality.

THE LONELY ONLY
     I most often travel alone. You often will not see me with another person. It's not because I don't have friends, or am a "creep" or "up to no good". It's because I'm an introvert and I walk faster than most people and I don't like being slowed down by an albatros. Nothing personal.

Spiritual Points to Remember

For the earth shall be filled with
the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

~Spiritual Points to Remember:

* Death is not the end, but rather a transition of one state of existence into the next. Just the same as when a Caterpillar is released from its cocoon as a butterfly. The caterpillar is the soul, the cocoon is the body upon death and the butterfly is the evolved soul released from the body as a higher spiritual being towards God. It seems like it is death of the caterpillar, but rather it is a begging towards a new kind of higher life. One's end becomes another begging. This life we are in now is not the real life. Death is the birth into the eternal life!

* The world's religions are not separate unrelated things. They are part of a greater quilt of the one true faith which is composed of many faiths and traditions. Each one is a unique revelation from God in a progressive evolution of human spirituality.

* The independent investigation of truth is important for each person seeking the truth, whether it be through science, religion or both. Rather than blindly taking on the dogma or beliefs of an organization or other person, one should rather develop their own views and beliefs based on their understanding and seeking of truth for themselves.

My Passion for the Terminator Franchise

     My birthday was on August 17th, I turned 35. If you haven't got me a new gift, its  not too late. I am still accepting them! Do I feel older? Yes. Especially when I try to get up from sitting or laying down, my limbs hurt now. Signs of old age. I am half-way, damn near, through my life. I am not excited at the prospect of becoming a senior and needing outside care. I hope the LORD calls me home before than. I also pray that he Bless me with a beautiful family. That would be the bee's knees.

     I keep hearing bad predictions for the U.S. economy about a new recession coming and gloom and doom about it. I am certain one is coming. Because, every decade or so we have one. It's part of the cycle and like before, it will come back and so will upturns and good business. No need to give up hope. These things come and go with normal frequency. You just have to be economically smart about navigating the muddy waters. As for me, I know nothing about economics or even basic home money matters. I am poor in finance, but rich in spirit. I have been watching the Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles. At first I was critical about the characters being nothing like the movie characters, but I have grown used to it and have learned to accept them. So I am enjoying the series now. I have accepted it as a sort of parallel time line from the movies. In one of the later movies they radically changed the main characters looks and personalities which like wise made me have to learn to get used to. Now I just enjoy all the Terminator expressions as alternate time lines. Helps me enjoy the franchise a lot more.

Ridvan Edition

     Today is the Baha'i Feast Day of Ridvan. I will be joining the other Bahais in my community in a few hours to celebrate. I cant wait. I'm hungry!

     Unrelated. 12,000 units of plasma in China may have been infected with HIV. The propaganda machine says that so far no one has contracted it, but I doubt their honesty. Taking a lesson from the SARS pandemic, China lied about that until it became a world wide nightmare that had to be fixed by the Americans. Speaking of America, I hate to say it, but I believe that her best years are behind her. Our economy is nonrecoverable and morals and ethics are becoming more and more vacant as time goes on. On a positive note, I would not be surprised to see it rescued through some supernatural means, Mormons, or otherwise. I am not to be counted among those without hope. This years flu season has been one of the longest on record.
