Dust to the earth

We talked about Limbo before that when you put corpses into caskets, the spirits cannot pass. The dust to earth process not completed. That will explain the ghosts, poltergeists and the metaphysical. That is why we must cremate the dead and put the dust into the earth. We can celebrate the dead in pictures, anniversaries and in our minds. The huge spaces that will be vacated in the cemeteries can  be used for infrastructure.

Spiritually the dead signifies corruption. Like the dead camel of the rich must be cremated also. When we have created spaces in our soul, we can build more good work. See related: http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/05/limbo.html

Matthew 24
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Time is the ultimate test.

I somewhat understand the USA in what happened to Iraq and Afghanistan its because they are policing the world. Though I do not think war is the best weapon. We can defeat corruption through education, sports and entertainment. This is the long term solution. I initially thought the USA is searching for ancient alien technology. And to have oil.

Philippians 2
1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort in love, any sharing in the Spirit, any sympathy, 2 complete my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, being united, and agreeing with each other. 3 Don’t do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves. 4 Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others. 

Jesus appoints Simon Peter

Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

So you see when Simon Peter presented the answer, Jesus knows that the Father has blessed Simon Peter with wisdom. Jesus is the foundation and also the place they were at the time, Caesarea Philippi, an ancient Roman city.

The Joshua Tree

 

I know the Joshua Tree in passing but do not really know its significance. Having read two people I look up to mentioning it this time made me curious. Wiki says "The name Joshua tree was given by a group of Mormon settlers who crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century. The tree's unique shape reminded them of a Biblical story in which Joshua reaches his hands up to the sky in prayer."

I think I have seen one but it turns out similar and different at the same time. Probably what I seen is another palm tree specie for the tropics like in Palau.

With the Mormons I know their leader supposed to have received commandments from God and he wrote their own texts like a Bible. Thing is the leader has many wives and consequently his successors. Which is in direct conflict with what the Bible says. The ancient texts are in congruent with each other and if it is really from God, it would lead you to good work. Like we talked before the qualities of leader in the Bible. If the leader is corrupted, the pillars are to collapse.

1 Timothy 3
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.    2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

With the Moslems, we have discussed before that these are misunderstood texts. Four wives means women will be disadvantaged. Which should not be because they are the weaker sex. Wives means books in this commandment. How many books you have when you study?

1 man 4 wives
That is in Islam but if I were to interpret this using the essence of the Bible, this is about a man studying knowledge and he has to cross reference other books to be clearer. Not to be taken literally in my opinion. I think the guide when you study the Bible, or other books for that matter, is that to take into consideration the three things I am reiterating - intuition, logic and heart. One woman is already a handful, what more if you have two or more? People should open their eyes to logic, science and technology to destroy established dogmas and traditions.

http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/03/these-days-3.html

If you want to truly learn you will consult more than 4 books. Just the same when you search in google, you click more than one link. I am a book lover you see I have a mini-library with books I have not read and some are To read and some To be continued and some Not reading. There's truth in what they say as Too many books, Too little time.

In cross-referencing, sometimes TV can get you hooked with books. I watched Season 1 of Game of Thrones on HBO and continued the story on the books. You see with faces on the names and places, its easier to visualize the books. I guess I will have marathon viewing of GoT from Season 2 up to the current.

The last time I had marathon viewing was the Samurai X. Man you have to see Kenshin versus Shogo Amakusa. Kenshin is a man of peace and in a turbulent and transitioning era in Japan after the Civil war, he used the reversed-edged sword to teach people. Not to kill them. Just noticed Amakusa is roughly translated in Filipino as He is my father. Which means I am the antagonist?

That is why I am happy. You see here plenty of kids and that you know they will have stricter standards means they will have smarter kids. Because they will follow the guide. That is the progression were looking for. Fellow book lovers are my kindred spirits.

Jesus gets angry

John 2
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

These are pimps and prostitutes of every kind that Jesus gets angry. No reason otherwise. So there should always be police visibility in the malls and streets to discourage these transactions.

Psalm 69
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. 8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.  

You see the person is fighting the lust of the flesh and has been converted into something the person is not. To be clear, I am not this person. So you see why I emphasize on who the role-models should be and who should not be.

This could be applied to religions as well. Some religions are false but there are religions that last for lifetimes.

Hearts in Atlantis

If the ancient texts are prophecies.

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/underwater-tennis-stadium--latest-dubai-project-pitch-590153.html

Civilization will surely advance and the spaces will be crammed. The upward trend is on an exponential degree so if an underwater stadium is feasible then so is a underwater community. And the City of Atlantis.

Acts Chapter 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

Is it not the writer talking about television?

And subtitles?

Acts Chapter 2
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Guys if you have the time, you read up from the start cause there's a lot I written so there would be topics I have not explained clearly. Critique me if need be. Criticism makes one sharper while flattery will lead to complacency. As I said, critique and flatter at the right time and when deserving.

Epic Fights

For a movie to be epic, it needs badass bad guys for the hero to be amazing. You must explain to children why there are good and bad people. I seen many parents watching cartoons, anime and disney films with their kids and thats a good thing. The kids learn while you learn again.

For example, I hate this guy in Skyfall.

When it comes to epic fight scenes:

Try the wine

1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Try the wine for enjoyment and fun. All in moderation. Do not get drunk. I take beer and wine but I hate the hard drinks. Gave me a bad hang-overs. Not happening again. For women of course they should watch out cause research say they get drunk faster than men on same amount of drinks. What is the other proof that some wine is fine? 1 Timothy 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-elect-leader.html

Of course this also refers to people we listen to. Do not believe immediately but think from what you learned you know whether they of good spirit or not. Verse 3 people will know whether you are speaking the truth because of evidence you presented, both in actions and words.

1 Thessalonians 5
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

However do not misunderstand. There are things we do not have to try to see whether they are bad for us. Do not make meth like Walt and Jesse. See what happened to Skinny Pete and Badger. Completely decline things when you know its bad for you.

I'm not saying luxury and entertainment are bad. When done in good taste then try them. You like to spend on hobbies like collecting robot figures, why not? You like shopping, go shopping. Why not? Fine dining? Why not? So you see there is also nothing wrong in wearing jewelry made of gold, silver and other precious stones and minerals. The earlier verse which said do not bring gold, silver and bronze is an entirely different subject. It was talking of money in the purse or wallet. While the adornments I talk of now as I said is a form of luxury. However its your hard-earned money. Course your money must be legit. Like gambling, do not be addicted that you go bankrupt. Or the addiction that ill affects on health, well-being and relationships.

1 Timothy 6
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Lost in Translation

Matthew 10
5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

2 Corinthians 9
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Freely:
in a free manner: as
a :  of one's own accord <left home freely>
b :  with freedom from external control <a freely elected government>
c :  without restraint or reservation <spent freely on clothes>
d :  without hindrance <a gate swinging freely>
e :  not strictly following a model, convention, or rule <freely translated>

Free:
: not costing any money
: not held as a slave or prisoner
: not physically held by something

Do you see the difference? You see when Jesus sent his men, its for social work. There would be doctors, craftsmen among others involved. They paid learning schools and persevered to know their work. So they went as instructed to an impoverished place. Do not bring gold, silver and bronze because you will persevere more to find work if you have nothing or little. Travel lightly when you go to other places. You can get another coat when you earn from work. As these are poor people, you just accept whatever they can afford to give.

Do your work honestly, no flowery words or gimmicks like gold, silver and bronze. These are adornments which says you are a con artist. There are impoverished people spiritually and if you are reading this, you arrived at the right place. For me I am happy that I see people see it my way. I say that as an understatement.

Be patient for people concerned know what changes are to be made in their respective religions and they doing just that. All in God's time. Convergence.

What's in a name

Okay this is similar to the American Indians and their names. Like Dances with Wolves from the book of the same name. Also there are Stands with a Fist, Kicking Bird, Wind in His Hair and etcetera.

I'm just messing around so it is up to you what to make of these.

Let's take D-Wade again as example, he studied in Marquette, we can derive Mark and market, and small version of market is mart. So I just guess the descendant of early christian Mark, and a knight from Martinique.

Like I said, if your named after a great person, you were influenced by them. It depends on your status, line of work, your home, your family and etcetera to further scrutinize. It also puts emphasis if you have mac, mc, son, fitz, and O' in your name cause it means pertaining to or son or descendant.

Hey Guys follow the guide above 'cause all of you have more unique details that I unable to see.

As I said before its better if the work time clock is adjusted from 8am to 7am because the mind is sharper and fresher. You see the change from dark into light is like a switch. Subconsciously this wired into the brain like a flash bulb. I prefer 6am cause the sun is up at the time. You see like what I do, I am up around 4am, 5am and blogging. Later you will have more time socializing and doing good activities. And early sleep time also cause the body needs to recharge the parts. Compare them to refrigerators, from time to time it is cleaned. But our parts are not like that of a ref that can withstand continued operation so we have to rest. So that means light into dark is truly the destination of mankind? The NBA for example, all white people until the blacks came. I made a Black vs White in playstation and to complete the White roster I have to include the Euros.

Couples for God

Hebrew 6
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

If God permits, you start afresh. Verse 4 is about first marriage. It say its impossible to renew them. Unless God permits. Then you go the entire courting process again. But the perfect relationship is on the Verses 1 to 3. It says there leave the principles of the doctrine of Christ. You might wonder whether what this is about or whether this is correct. As I said before the Bible is a guide. You can read about medicine in the Bible but if you study to be a doctor, you read medicine books. You want a perfect relationship, this is between the man and the woman. The husband and the wife. They make rules for each other.

Animals

We raised pigs back in the province as additional income. We all helped in feeding and cleaning the pigpen. And then there were none. Probably all of us became busy with something else. So I think it was my turn to raise one. I was the one who mainly feed it and clean the pigpen. I realized the pig is more than a livelihood. I rub the belly and the pig likes it and it lays down and sleep. It also pushes its snout on my feet. I guess its like cats and dogs. They have the law of God written in their hearts. The animal instinct. If you harm them they will fight back. If you show kindness, they will return it. But of course there are good and bad animals. The bad animals you cannot domesticate because they belong to the wild.

In Genesis, its like Adam and Eve were animals. They did not know they were naked. Animals do not know they are naked. When Eve eats the apple and found out what is wrong and what is right, I think its like a form of sarcasm to prove a point. Physically, girls have their growth spurt first. And emotionally, research says girls also mature first while boys will be boys until they mature.

So I guess pigs can be pets. However to base your decisions from it is absurd. Pigs cannot be gods because they do not know they are naked. That is how superior you are to them. And that goes for all animals like cows, mice and etcetera because God said to have dominion over animals. We have dominion over them. We can eat them.

Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

God has cleansed all these animals for human consumption. The Bible has layered meanings and the verses above we have discussed for three instances already. See related posts:

The next question would be if we came from apes, they are we not seeing apes evolving into humans? Why did evolution stopped for apes? I may or may not answer this but if you guys insist I will tell you later.

The Symbol of Medicine

Okay I am just bored so like what I done in the "what's in a name"; if your name is a variant of Cambrian its probably because you were aware of the Cambrian period or you worked at the time. To what capacity is indicative of your work, status and characteristics. "This event is sometimes called the "Cambrian Explosion" also less known as "Cambrian Radiation", because of the relatively short time over which this diversity of forms appears."

And some are magi who's gone to Cali. Or a blacksmith who fly on ancient jets on the feet and also a hunter with a net. Guys you can interpret your names. Say you have "The Way" in your name, son of John probably you rock as an early christian. See similar to The Way in the knight wading in the moat of a castle.

Women Leaders

1 Corinthians 11
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

1 Timothy 3
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Okay it says in Corinthians that men leads in almost all fields of endeavor and in causes that a woman leads, she should have a power on her head because of the angels. A sign from angels which is nothing supernatural but in 1st Timothy verse, it describes the qualities of a quality leader. If you see the qualities underlined above in the woman candidate as compared to others then that is the sign we are looking for.

I am kinda hesitant to post this 'cause there are 'lesbian' leaders that helps many people like in The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Most lesbians are fun to be with, reserved and patient. They are not contagious. The demons easily casted out. Besides wouldn't you agree that Ellen looks hot?

For male homosexuals, they can't be role models. They will do more harm than good in places of leadership. They have aggressive demons that teaches corruption to people. I'm not sabotaging their livelihood. This is for the good of mankind. Their shows must be Rated-R meaning restricted. Not for parental guidance. We should be concerned on what our kids are learning.

This is not a hurried conclusion in case you guys are wondering. I arrived at this from interaction with everyday people and on TV and in the movies and in the internet.

WHY ARE COUNTRIES PUSHING FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE?! HOMOSEXUALS ARE TO STAY SINGLE. THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. PERIOD.

Limbo

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Its when you do not know whether a girl will say Yes or yes. Of course I am talking of spiritual things. They are mirrors. What happens on earth has a mirror on heaven.

Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Luke 16:31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’ ”

Ecclesiastes 12:6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

People put the dead in caskets and jars and they veered away from the teachings of God. Until the dead are cremated and the cremated dust poured into the earth, the process is not complete. These spirits are in anguish and torment because they cannot pass.

So pouring the dust into the water may be the most environment-friendly because the water dilutes the dust. However the spirit will travel a long ways to the shore to join the earth. The dead must be cremated and dust put into the earth immediately so the spirit returns to God. We can remember the dead by celebrating their deeds, works and pictures and they live in our minds.

As I have said before, I do not hate gays. I hate their evil ways. If you ask me how they gonna be saved, it is to follow the commandments of God. Which is marrying is not for you. This is a test for you. God wants you to hurdle these tests. Stay single and help your family and community and pursue studies and careers. I believe in reincarnation but the logic is that ultimately there has got to be a reward, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I think for you guys, the spiritual reward is you be put on the right vessel in heaven. I know that some of the gays work hard. However they are not good role-models for the naive kids and adolescents. For us adults, we can filter things because we know how to use the five senses. See related posts:

Faith in One God

Deuteronomy 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

So you must convince God that you are faithful not only through talk but also in actions. You have to make Him see that there no other God other than Him. Of course friends might say hey or say hi but that is all there is to it. These are for couples. When couples broke up, there will be bad blood. And so are their relatives, you will be angry or cold to them as well up to the 4th generations. That is why to avoid this the man must treat the woman as the weaker vessel. But the women should know their roles as well.

I believe in one God, its the same God for all religions. Its just that people have different interpretations as what was illustrated in the The Tower of Babel - people went their separate ways because they have free will and have different ideas. As in a couple having arguments, there are major and minor ones. So I would say this blog is about convergence.

Forward to the Past

This is just a work of fiction. Like decoding symbols to know who the persons were in their past lives. First up is Pearl Jam and their album logo.

As you can see, there is uncanny likeness to Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. And from listening to Pearl Jam's songs, their songs sing of a thousand portraits. Eddie Vedder and his gang was very close to Da Vinci and has same line of work. And pottery figure with arms raised in a V comes from Veracruz, Mexico dated from 500 AD.

The next picture is D-Wade logo also similar the picture above so we say he was a peer of Da Vinci and most probably his work is more on the physical and from Wade's story, he was a leader in college and in the NBA. Say he was a knight and that he knows Pearl Jam back then because Pearl Jam plays basketball as well. You see they have an album named "Ten" after NBA player Mookie Blaylock.

We also see D-Wade as having Japanese and Chinese past lives because of his code of honor "Fall seven, get up 8". And the last picture suggests a cross on the kite. Meaning the Japanese, the Chinese and Wade has correlation from the early Christians.

Okay I was reminded today is a Tuesday and if your name is Matthew and other like-sounded names and since you recognized that fact, then that means your roots are all of the above. If you have a surname like Butcher, probably you live in the same time as The Butcher of Cadiz. And when your character is you like to make people squirm or you like details in work, probably you were closer to that butcher. Matthew also sues people for taxes because he follows the rule of law. Heard your name there yet?

Moreover, I think popular Moslem converts were early Christians sent to foreign places. Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay), Kareem Abdul Jabbar (Lew Alcindor), Malik Abdul Aziz (Mike Tyson) and Abdul Aziz (Robin Padilla, Filipino celebrity). You see in converting to Islam, they encouraged the Moslem populace to do well in education, sports and entertainment. God wants these people to have more freedom to recognize human rights so in educating them, people will have the capability to do what is right and what is wrong.

So what I am saying is that there is a reason why you are named like that. And if your path in life is similar to those great people in the past, then you probably in the same locality as that person. Also realizing the coincidences like whats the name of your brothers and sisters for example in comparison to the great people who has same name as you. My sister's name is Aimee for one. Anything you can relate to like if your name sounds like Van Gogh you probably know him in the past depending on your work today. Or you were in a rickshaw in Japan and India. Or related to Buddha's palm. Or Tunisian. Or the Scarlet Letter and the viola of Sherlock Holmes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Or you were in a gladiator pit or marauding battalion. Or a Sicilian miner drilling for ores. Or son or descendant of Seth in a far land. Or Macduff who caged or killed Macbeth from Shakespeare. Or AZ means alpha and omega. Or the GM of chess. Or laurel from Monet or laurel from an angel. Or Stanley the hammer brand. Or vivre is french jazz teen. Or born in the East, the Yao. Or fights for peace and justice like a Jedi and is a living diamond. Or a singer sing a tune from the fourth generation from the rock. Or a pure Danish previously. Or an evil chariot rider. Or an insecure but ambitious demi-god who wants more. Or you shun Atila the Hun though you have close affinity with him. Or a daredevil demi-god who loves the rock. Or you were in Noah's Ark as keeper of ravens and doves. Or you were from the Aryan race and a grand dei or opus dei meaning work of God. Or rey refers to kings and mister trio means you were related to the trident of Neptune. Or you were from the Aryan race and has celestial origins. Drop on knee on Oz sent to Pa Yes, this one knighted by an Austrian emperor. What you guys should do now is board out of the bus and start driving your own cars. Cause if your name is common, you are in the best position to evaluate.

The Parable of the Sower

Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

This means there are good and bad rich people. At the same time there are good and bad poor people. People have free will so some people go back to their old ways. And some do not. Fools do not have honor. If you do not have a good and definite purpose in doing things then you are a fool. Just the same, if you follow the ways of a fool to send messages, you will get hurt. To discipline a fool, you do not argue like a fool. Instead whip, bridle and hit the fool with a rod. To those hurted with the thorn of this parable, it means their mind is clouded with corruption.

Same Direction from Hoobastank

But i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong

'cause we're all going in the same direction

And i'm not sure which way to go because all along

We've been going in the same direction

You do not know the way or you are not sure which way to go, follow the guide you find in this blog. 

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 65:21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.17For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Okay to answer some people: I believe in reincarnation. When we die, we will be born again in a new heaven and a new earth. But you cannot remember what happened in your past life. I believe the Bible is a guide for living. This all written in this blog. So my advice is to seek the kingdom of God and enjoy life.

For houses of major religions, they have strong foundations and structural components that can withstand forces of nature but they really have to fix the structural damages brought by quakes. Number one is the way they treat women. For men, handle women with care for they are the weaker vessels. They are easily hurt physically and emotionally. They are not slaves rather treat them as equals. Just sharing a story about the University of Santo Tomas which was founded 1611, I know for a fact 'cause I have measured it in my college days that their old buildings have one-meter thick solid walls of concrete. That is why it withstood the test of time.

For houses of minor religions, meaning sects, its time for you to evacuate because your small house is severely damaged from the typhoon. For your kids sake, let them grow in the good soil. You know the film Hero?  So 'Jet Li' realized the reason why another assassin did not kill the Emperor when the assassin had the chance. In the end, 'Jet Li' lets himself be executed. This was known later as the Qin dynasty. See post: http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/04/hero.html

Matthew 13:3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 8:11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Mark 4:4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

Adagio means slowly. Major religions should change slowly for the same direction. One direction.

Circumcision

The Parable of the Chinese Bamboo Tree; from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families of Stephen Covey

“In everything you do in your family, keep in mind the miracle of the Chinese bamboo tree. After the seed for this amazing tree is planted, you see nothing, absolutely nothing, for four years except for a tiny shoot coming out of a bulb. During those four years, all the growth is underground in a massive, fibrous root structure that spreads deep and wide in the earth. But then in the the fifth year the Chinese bamboo tree grows up to eighty feet!
Many things in family life are like the Chinese bamboo tree. You work and you invest time and effort, and you do everything you can possibly do to nurture growth, and sometimes you don’t see anything for weeks, months, or even years. But if you’re patient and keep working and nurturing, that “fifth year” will come, and you will be astonished at the growth and change you see taking place. Patience is faith in action. Patience is emotional diligence. It’s the willingness to suffer inside so that others can grow. It reveals love. It gives birth to understanding.”

Just thinking that boys they higher growth spurt if circumcised at five years old similar to the bamboo tree.

You see the Bible also teaches patience:

Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/05/roller-coaster.html

These ancients texts are similar in spirit. Its just that men have different interpretations that they forgot to use the laws written in their hearts. Quote below is from Dan Brown.

So here's the advice for Fantasy basketball managers and other fantasy sports, its not the third year jump you must watch out for. Its the fifth year players you gamble on trades for players to live up to their potentials. WTH. SMH. why now? these useful if I was still into Fball.

The Holy Grail

1 Timothy 2

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Verse 8,9 is about attitude - that men should be confident at all times, without going overboard nor show self-pity. In like manner women should behave modestly, with shamefacedness and in sobriety. Attitude is more important than clothes 'cause clothes are superficial. I think when it comes to clothes, people should dress appropriately for occasions. And we talked about it does not matter if you have long or short hair.

Verse 10,11,12,13,14 Women should learn from men 'cause they are naturally superior than women. Remember that women are the weaker vessels. Adam however thinks women can do wonderful things, while Eve is not confident of herself. Government, society and religion does that to women. If women comes out of her shell, she is capable of leading among other things and she will break the monopoly of men in authority. The bite in the apple. I think the government and society and religion should make it easier for women to be confident.

Verse 15 Women can be housewives if they will not pursue careers.

"every inch of your skin is a holy grail I gotta find..."

This is for the adult audience only okay?

Tomorrowland

I saw the movie yesterday not expecting much. Trailer doesn't say much but you will be surprised at the movie. I was surprised in a good way. Bring your kids cause its for the whole family. Maybe its more of a kids' film. I won't say details about it cause I might spoil it for you. One thing that annoys me though, not only in this movie but in the others as well. Is that when the film characters are driving a vehicle, you can observe that its on top of a trailer truck cause of the angles and elevation. Other than that, its cool.

Qur'an (61:10-12) "O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement."  This verse was given at the battle Uhud and uses the Arabic word, Jihad.

Books can take you as far as your imagination can take you. This means Jihad is to learn knowledge. Films and other media also does that. You must study so you can become successful, contented and happy in life. This is the reward. Come on guys. The war is against ignorance so people must be educated.

Rolling out

Ride Out - Kid Ink ft. Rich Homie Quan, Tyga, Wale & YG 

[Intro: Rich Homie Quan].......
Came in at first, had bad luck
Got a whole lot, remember I ain't had nothin'
We done sold out, now everybody mad at me
Tell 'em roll out, now everybody smashin'
Get ready cause you know we 'bout to be a problem
Hope you ready cause you know it 'bout to be a problem

[Hook: Kid Ink]
It's the only way we know to go
Squad up, never roll alone
And we gon' ride on forever
We ride out together
Pull up right in your zone
Take over the street, that's how we roll
And we gon' ride on forever
We ride out together

[Verse 1: Tyga]
Fancy when I drive, six cars in the driveway
Cash in the driver door, spend it, do it my way
I fight you like a matador, fresh out the catalog
One fall we all fall, crew like dominoes
Paper chase, vamanos, all my dogs riding smoke
Mob heavy like the Pope, for that pot of gold
We are not alone, boy, better check your tone
You gone need a lot of help, I ain't talkin' bank loans
Sit with us, table last supper
Toast to the brothers, some bad motherfuckers
Yeah, ain't nothin' but pure luxury
You lookin' left to me, should be looking up to me
Preferably one of the best
She ridin' cause we next now and forever to death
Be loyal, real, and respect, stay ahead of the rest
We just sit back, relax, doin' things to impress

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Wale]
Got no time to waste
And no way these niggas stoppin' me, oh no
Flyin' from a mile away
It's not a problem, only real ones follow me
And I can do this with my eyes closed
Blindfold two times over
Ride solo, I got women and got soldiers
I ain't trippin', you try to get it your night's over
Talkin' on Melatonin, get it and fight coma
What's defeat to a giant, niggas feedin' the fire
History, niggas be less them niggas flee when they flyin'
You don't believe it? Then try it
We don't believe in just tryin'
I call it peoples and leave 'em in 100 pieces divided
That's cold cutting
And I've been this dope for like four summers
And I ain't really going for the he say, or she say
Keep it G for Pete's sake
I know this shit that bone you pick
Might leave you niggas fillets

[Hook]

[Verse 3: YG]
It's YG 4hunnid!
Is you ridin'?
Is you with all the burglarizing and the violence
If Jimmy got caught up, but you was right there with him
So the police askin' you questions, is you gone keep quiet??
Is you loyal, is you real, is you fake?
When I can't tell that's the type of way that I hate
You got that fake-friend syndrome
There's no cure so them symptoms is gon' show
You know the code, stick around, hold it down, never fold
Like it's a crease up in your Dicky Browns
Hold up, each one teach one
Motivate each one to be something
Cause I ain't just another statistic
I do this, this, and that if you wanna get specific
I'm just tryna make bread come quicker
For me and my day one hittas

[Outro: Kid Ink]
Ride out!

Exodus 7
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. 3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.

To be precisely clear, we are talking about Egypt as personification of corruption here. There are good people and bad people in every country. We have to get evil out of the hearts of people and out of all countries.

Nut and Bolt

Hey people you just have to read back on this blog and its very clear that marrying is for a man and a woman only. Period. Man to man and woman to woman is disgusting and does not fit. This is common sense. Eunuchs have to stay single. You just read back people and you find some useful things. If you tolerate this abomination, you are creating another Sodom and Gomorrah where all kinds of corruption exist and was destroyed in a fiery end.

http://lukasabridged.blogspot.com/2015/05/matthew-19.html

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read , that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said , For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be * one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together , let not man put asunder.

Matthew 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. 

If it does not fit, marrying is not given unto you.

Roller coaster

Luke 6
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Verses 20,24 I think these are advice to people and absolutely not a conclusion. To the poor, its like their glass is empty so their capacity for learning is plenty while for the rich, this is a caution. With their inheritance, some do not need to study or work. As we said, the eye of the needle. But its up to the people to persevere, there are poor who are lazy and there are rich who are workaholic. Just as there are evil poor people and good rich people.

Verses 21,25 Hunger and being full and weep and laugh just tells us to cherish the good times and prepare for the bad times. Likewise we should appreciate our loved ones. Sometimes we forget to understand and be patient with them. Life is like a roller coaster.

Verses 22,23,26 When people criticize you, you become more guarded and more disciplined. That is why you will learn a lot. While if people flatter you all the time or they are lenient on you, you become overconfident and careless. That is a disservice to you and could become your downfall. Criticize and flatter people when deserving and at the right time. When the axe is dull, you need more effort to cut firewood while when axe is sharp there is lesser effort required.

Noodle house

So I went to a noodle house yesterday. I've been there number of times. Says there the noodles were hand-pulled. Also there's some writing in the walls of the restaurant and would you believe it that a Moslem man created the beef noodles in China? Here goes "The pulled noodles has history of more than 300 years originating from Lanzhou, Kanshu Province in the Qing dynasty. A young Hui man of Muslim ethnicity known as Ma Bao Zi created the Special Braised Beef noodles. Life was harsh and he would cook at home and carry the noodles on his shoulders and walk around the city. They say its the no.1 noodles on Earth". That is why we have to read back on the writing of ancient people like Aristotle, Plato and the ancient texts. There is wisdom there. Its just revised I guess for their times like what writers do today. They update previous works. Maybe not update but they get ideas from early people and call it their own. Like the people of yesterdays also get their ideas from more earlier people. I ordered the Eggplant with ground beef noodles with some sauce. I played around with the chopsticks like stupid so people believe I dunno how to use chopsticks. So I waited for some stupid remarks from people around and then I start on the dish. I like to prank people. So maybe that the reason I get pranked a lot as well.

How to elect a leader

1 Timothy 3
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.    2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

These are requirements, can be applied to leader of a company up to leader of a country. If you compare below, the leader has stricter qualifications than that of the deacons or staff described below. I think this also applies to the Ombudsman office which should have stricter qualifications. You see the leader shall not be a novice and not too arrogant or else the leader will be condemned by critics neither the leader shall be too humble or else the leader will be reproached by critics. If does not necessarily have to be a man also because we have discussed in the past that there are women leaders.

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The difference is the leader is sober and the staff are little intoxicated. I think this means the leader should be smarter than the staff. And the staff shall support the leader.

14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

And so the writer sent this letter cause he cannot supervise personally the happenings so that the people will have guidelines in choosing a leader. Verse 15 the foundation and the pillars were built. And Verse 16 the completion of all the activities for the house.

Lost and found

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

Luke 15:11-32
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

I was thinking about Philippine politics actually. Of course you can have your interpretations.

Cat mentality

In ancient times where there is hunter and the hunted, humans keep in shape to cope up with predatory animals. Past forward to today, humans keep in shape so that they will be attractive to the opposite sex. Maybe this is the negative mentality adapted by obese people to eat and eat so that when they get fat, the animals will easily catch them. So as couch potatoes, they eat ice cream and sulk and watch romantic comedies. But the logic is that what hunter will be attracted by fat and oily animal. Maybe a slow and obese hunter as well. I think the hunters will go for the mobile targets. Like cats for example will be excited and hyper when you play with laser light or the feathers dangling in front of them. You can make them jump and chase on frantic pace. My cat I measured jumped to about 30 inches. Yep I measured it. My cat is a hyper siamese, in fact he was awarded the Most Hyper Cat in one cat show. Persians aren't as athletic and as competitive. Cats they become bored when there is no movement. Birds meanwhile have colorful feathers to attract mates. And some animals use their voices. So it really pays to be physically and mentally fit.

Forces of nature

Okay so I was thinking. I was feeling under the weather the past few days. Probably jetlagged though I only rided a bus from a trip. You see 6 to 7 hours of sitting will make you uncomfortable. Although there were couple of stops every two hours. I was reminded of rigor mortis - if I remember correctly its the blood settling down below the person's body. Its somewhat similar to being jetlagged. In a sitting position the portion most affected will be the back of the legs. And traveling in the air, I would think the gravity pull is greater. I think the plane counteracts most of the pull but not all 'cause you feel this ringing in your ear. So what I think the solution for jetlag is to circulate the blood. I remember the egg roll exercise in my college days, that is you hug yourself in a cradle position and roll around.

I was talking about this gravity before and the way it stunts growth. If the gravity pull was lesser in the ancient times, then we can say that the humans and plants and animals are taller in those days. I remembered one time I applied wax on the windshield of my car and pressed the button for the water spinkler. Say I was driving 100 or 120 then, you see the effect is that the drops of water went up! Not down. So when you drive, it helps to the circulation of the blood. Probably into areas which are difficult to reach. The need for speed! That is provided the veins and arteries are not clogged. I think accu-pressure and accu-puncture are examples of unclogging the veins. Maybe helps some of the circulation as well. Of course nothing beats a healthy, delicious and nutritious diet.

But I think the effect of centrifugal force is better. Similar to amusement park rides like the roller coaster, merry-go-round and ferris wheel. Better yet the machines used by astronauts in their training. Maybe this should be commercialized. The video below shows a person spinning on a sitting position. What if they use the Vitruvian man position from Da Vinci. What's the effect on brains? On babies?

My sport

I have not seen a full basketball game in quite a while. I'm into volleyball nowadays. Actually I like the Russia National Women's Volleyball team. No idea who's gonna win the NBA playoffs. I think the music below does not tell anything.

My advice on religions
Like I said if a religion prevents you from being the best that you can be, then what are you waiting for? Get out of there. When people regard you as belonging to a cult, that prevents you from the being the best you can be. You cannot freely chase your passions whether it be in education, in entertainment and in sports. And that would be a shame. For parents, do this for your kids. For them to live in normal surroundings. The good soil. When they come of age, teach them your churches' doctrines and let the adult decide where to go. For other churches which has similar conditions like that of Catholics, like Protestants for example, no need to rock the boat if the religion urges you to be the best you can be.
