Speak Eternal

You don't need to do it quickly.

Glen Beck is said to be 'fasting for' a candidate. But that candidate is in good health, so I'm not worried about him.

A fast is of anything, it doesn't just have to be food. For example I have been a collector. So for me I can stop that during a time. But food is a good choice for a fast.

My discussion of collecting is an aside. I started with pennies. Sometimes it seems like a vice, of sorts, because I'm focussing on what others might find trivial. But I've figured out why I do it: it's the design and presentation of real things that intreuges me, it puts me forward into some dream of an ordered History of Good Deeds of past folks who were awesome. It's a way to focus thought on them, and to love them for the distance, in the future, and pray for the hardships that they must have had to give them the strength to come to Jesus (or to whatever eternal truth The Spirit gives them to come towards). Becuase not everyone calls Jesus 'Jesus', but they go to the Him with a word of their own.

It's sad that some loose sight of what they say they berlieve, and they only get so far into that book never cracking the chapters about worry and over concern. The story of Mary and Martha comes to mind. I'll need to refresh it, if i can remember. And if anyone is fasting, fasthing for those around them, maybe they ought to fast for themself. Ted is probably fine, even though he might not get my vote. But I'll still love him and pray for the good that will come, even if Ted looses yet another primary or caucus. That doesn't mean that Ted will have larengitise and not beable to speak his Constitutionalistic Nationalistic prayers of infinite redemtion of all souls to rise up and be . . . good for the nation and thus the world at large. Somehow Glen, and some who I can't even imagine them really, love this Ted Cruz guy a real lot even though the New Yorker who went to Wharton is probably the choice of most all of us who are put at the bottom of the recruitement list based upon regress and inverted priority of business, commerce, and industy. And if we complain, well, we get 'cused (accused). Yes, some of us have noticed and come to see that what is presented is not always what is available. Truth? Some say it is what they say it is, and if you disagree you must be a conspiracy nut, or someone who is bitter and clingy (clinging?)

Yes, it brings to mind, for me, Gamergate, a topic which will produce ire in many, if they are 'into' video games and also not into grotesque steretypes of archtypes, imagined as real, by a corrupt press, (the 'gamer' press). Basically there was this shot-gun journalism of an agenda mongering press agency service organization that sought to 'nudge' the 'gamers' to a new awareness. The gamer was declared dead by 15 or 16 different articles or commentators at about the same time, in the same small duration of one season: it was an attack upon a fictitous demographic: it was a made up 'gamer' who was alledged to be a beast of indifference and hate, who went against all the good agendas of the modern agenda'd age and who was 'dead' like the hippy was dead in the 1960's when that same kind of new-ish press-monger service agency kind of 'journalism' went to The Bay ARea and declared the age of the hippy. The locals, in SF and Berkeley, those who were actually there, were like, no. So they staged a funeral and burned up a lot of the psychodelic art as a way of ritualistically rejecting the falseification of identity, and the presentation of stereotype glened from misconception by people who aren't members or even in proximity of the place. You ahve to see people as individiucals and not make policy based upon grotesquece demographics and 'named secments' of a voting populatin, so named so as to pander to them and gather their votes. It's an easy game and a lot of people play it. But when the population, the demographic, of your audience totally rejects that stereotype and demands that you see them as people, not as archtypes for a marketting scheme, or pawns in some kind of geo-politically bolderdash 'world view' of those who gather a degree in journalism, but never learn how to practice that trade. I say this because if they were practicing the trade they wouldn't coordinate such obvious nonsense as those articles that were foisted into the 'gaming press' those few years ago, and that caused such a huge stir. It was so obvious to anyone in that realm that no 'stereotype' of the gamer was ever valid. And I am always amazed to discover new personalities who very much enjoy being social in a virtual world. You see, in a virtual world the social part is not virtual if you are in a room playing with other people (real people). There are very many different communities created, and destroyed, everytime a game is played, be it a video game, or any game. But I do understand that some ideological schemes that are used to indoctrinate solans of the great cause(s) reject games, and see game players as lesser creatures: creatures lost in a conflict made necessary by the collective selfish ness (not my idea but what I see these possible supremicist ideologoeis as having) of the players and the world at large. It's always a 'class struggle' with some people. You know, some times a cigar is just a cigar. But no matter when that is, the cigar is always considered . . . to be . . . a . . . symbol of the male ego (not flacid).

Well, sometimes fasting is in thought, too. I've learned recently that thought is sequential. Often to have a thought you need a previous thought that leads you to that thought. And so I ask what path through what lonely place by a lakeshore where the throngs congregate to hear the Good Word did Mr. Glen Beck take to get to the wilderness where he is fasting for a presidential candidate? And the candidate is well and not in any distress. I think that maybe Glen needs to rethink this. I'm not saying don't fast. But saying that your fast is for some otherwise healthy man, with a great spirit wihtin him, too, who needs prayers, yes, just like we all do. But is greatly blessed and wise, though maybe a little bit prideful. And not good at compromise. So we can pray for that. But what does my fasting do for him if I did?

I've always thought of fasting as a way to see in myself the flaws that I have and have never imagined that my fast is going to help another person. My activity, when needed, by assistence with money or aid, or a vote might help someone (if they are running for office). But if it's a prideful person who needs to stand down and stop, thenyo love her (him/?) by not voting for her. She is tired and needs to go lay down. I'm sorry, your vote for her might get her elected, but it only feeds her megalomaniacal nature. So you love her more by not voting for her.

Ya, so, I can pray for their souls, all of their souls. But my fast is for me, and only me. Ya, I can put some money in a cup and give that to charity to feed the hungry. But don't we do that anyway? Even when we are well fed? We are told to do that. But also told not to make a display of it. So if the act of fasting is somehting to help then how does make a display of fasting jive with Jesus Christ told us about that? In the Beatitude? How does it jive?

And as far as fasting to get people to vote a specific way? You can try it, Glen. But, even though he's a good soul, my guess is that it isn't going to help Mr. Cruz's chances. Why? Because people have free will and they vote with it. You shouldn't use prayer and fasting to take away people's free will.

And, Glen, even when Ted doesn't get to be president next year (my prediction, I could be incorrect) he'll still be walkign around and living his life and speaking truth to power. You either believe, as a Christian, that God will always solve all real problems for you, or you imagine that there is some magic person on whom the future hinges.

If society and people were so shakey that the death of one Justice means the end of freedom and liberty, if society were weak-moralled where the non-election of candidate means the end of all that does good for the people, if we were really that broken as people and as a nation . . . then we wouldn't even be having elections anymore. It would all be a forgone conclusion.

But I know, fear sells. So the magic justice who is like Saint Michael for the Constitution (Scalia) or the magic conservative who is the second coming of Churchil or William F. Buckley, anyone who is the magic whaever, the single point of light more important than all of the rest of us . . . anyone who thinks that this kind of governance or government works . . . looking for heroes, anyone who waits for that, needs that: sees the always-appocalypse as the necessary course and we all must stay it or we all will fail . . . Doesn't a world view like that kind of make someone else think that maybe your Christianity needs some shoring up: you need to start reading those parts of the bible where you are shown how secure believing makes you: what magic man is going to save you when thousand fall at your side? You need no magic man because you have taken refuge beneath the shelter of the Most High.

So you either be still and know, or you go on about how we have to have so-and-so best person, and only them. So have some faith. And maybe some break-fast. Because, Glen, one of the things that you ought to know, and this might explain a lot about what you've been going on about lately, and explain why you have been seeming to be . . . incoherent . . . and babbling nonsense: when you fast, just like when you take psychotropic drugs: your reasoning capacity breaks down. You start to free associate and hullcinate. And while it might all make sense to you in the throws of that, like when someone is one peyote, it doesn't always make sense to anyone else. So when you fast you really ought to be in a lonely place apart and not in front of the microphone.

And also, Glen, don't be like Jonah and get all upset when your dire appocalypitic visions don't pan out. The world won't end if Ted looses another primary.

     the idea is that the words go here    we'll over lay the words, my dear  It'll all look cool, so have no fear.

Way cool! The above is starting to look a tiny bit like sheet music, which has been a long term plan of mine. Nice! The notes are too small! I'll need a new style for that, easy. By the time this is posted it should all be more correct.

above is just random, and I mean random, notes and is not a melody that I know, or any kind of song. I just pasted unicode music to see how it will look when I open the page. Kind of curious . . . "

using the styles of {position :fixed; display: block;} we can set the left and top to 0px, and then we get the effect that the musical notes appear at the top of the browser! I suppose I should have chosen position: relative, or something else. Anyway, it was kind of a startling effect, and I kindof really liked it. The bars didn't do what I wanted. And it covers over everything there, at the top of the page, so that non of the links work anymore, but it was a cool effect. I suppose the way to contain such a thing is to use the proper styles, but I did like the effect. And that, complete with the geuggification (gitter, or dapplery, dappery) that I do here, with 'callbacks' I could make some pretty pictures with unicode. Nice stuff. It needs to be contained in a div, and I let it loose on the page . . .

It was late when I did this, so I left it that way over night to remind myself to get back to it later. It's kind of necessary to make the correct style, or I screw up the page for all of the other content. CSS can be such a beach (during a rainstorm, with dangerous riptides.) But it's a happy beach if you know the secrets, and they are. That is why my site has so many demonstration programs: so that people have a baseline from which to expand and make some real art with it.
