"THE INDIVIDUAL MIND ( is holy to me ).
In a child's power to master the multiplication table, there is more sanctity than in all your AMENS and HOLY-HOLIES and HOSSANNAS.
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral, and the advance of man's knowledge is a greater miracle than ALL THE STICKS TURNED TO SNAKES and the PARTINGS OF THE WATERS."

"When ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of Principle, it is the most incurable of passions."

Angela carter

"If two angels were to receive----at the same moment----a Commission from God, one to go down and rule earth's grandest empire of the world, the other to go and sweep the streets of the meanest, ugliest village of the world----it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot; the post of ruler or the post of scavenger: for the joy of the angels lies in the obediance to God's will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abraham's bosom, or be the chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home."

"In THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS, Friedrich Nietzsche, as so many before and after, decries the "unbroken progress in the self-belittling of man" brought about by the scientific revolution. Nietzsche mounts the loss of "man's belief in his dignity, his uniqueness, his irreplaceability in the scheme of his existence."

"For me it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. Which attitude is better geared for our long term survival? Which gives us more leverage on our future? And if our naive self-confidence is a little undermined in the process, is that altogether such a loss? Is there nto cause to welcome it as a maturing and character-building experience?"

Carl Sagan from "The Demon-Haunted World:Science As a Candle In the DarK":Ch. 1 "The Most Precious Thing"

"We often know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."

Henry Poincare
From Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World":Ch.22 Significance Junkies

"The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with petty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to LOOK DEATH IN THE EYE and to be grateful every day for the brief but MAGNIFICIENT OPPORTUNITY THAT LIFE provides."

MANY PEOPLE DO NOT CONSIDER PLACING LIBERAL CHRISTIAN FAITH, HOPEFUL SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS IN WEATHER FORECASTING.......


Henry Thoreau has said:
"Let nothing come between you and the light" and
"Don't blame me if I talk to the clouds."

Many people do not consider using good thinking habits in their daily life, let alone in the language they use everyday. Who would ever think of applying the power of positive spiritual thought, focusing on liberal christian values and spiritual integrity in thoughts of the weather? Who really owns the weather, is where I hope to be getting at with this message. The Discovery Station did put out a study called "OWNING THE WEATHER" this year, about the years the army has studied and used weather projects and industries to manipulate weather and use our emerging technological sciences to tamper slightly with studies of storms, cloud formations and mega-storm controls. In this show they did expose the names of countless military weather projects. It is very interesting and I am glad this information is now available to all the public, as information is power to all the people---those with faith in God and their Creator in Heaven, included. Who would ever think of applying faith, prayer and spiritual thought back in consideration of our weather and mega-storm weather conditions---those storm conditions being broadcast on air-before the mass media---these mega-weather storm weather predictions---- of apparently vast coastal proportions........ ? Is there some gross error going on in the relationships of the weather forecasters and their influence on the mass public media minds? You know, what ever happened to our weather prayers of our native peoples? of our religious liberal christian bible-belt peoples? ----There has been some of us---who have used prayers of faith during terrible storm conditions---who have had answers for their prayers in storms. I have felt conformt and relief through prayer, in the middle of soem very intense thunder and lightening storms, and during some twister winds while living on the shores of the Chespeake here. I do have strong faith in prayers and a firm belief and faith in our living and loving God, that our Lord does have the power ( above man's understanding and reasoning) to divert the winds or lessen the effects of the damages of the storm winds, and hopefully, avert the storm surge tides of these devastating climatic storms........Could we ever hope to witness the faith in a group of believers, like the days of old----like in the bible stories as in Moses and Elijah's faith in the Lord in and through His winds, or as in Jesus' power and command to calm the storm winds on the sea, and the Lord's knowledge and timing when----to walk over the waters. Jesus and the prophets, and even Holy Moses all had conversations with the Lord in the winds and the clouds....Jesus also had visitation of Elijah and Moses, while on the Mount of his Glorification, witnessed by his close disciples.

Will there ever be a day where we, as a liberal christian people OF FAITH---ever share realization and more self-actualization, through and about more intelligent weather information---- WITH FAITH AND CONSIDERATION that we need trust and prayer with and for our weather sciences; and our emerging bio-technological genetic sciences----WILL our bridge of faith STAND with the information Power of energy technologies, our mass communications of our media----and of finding true faith in our world of science and technology?

Even through individual spiritual thoughts of the Lord Spirit working through our arts of cultural endeavors in this kind of science intelligence------and with the intelligence in the sciences of weather forcasting---will prayer in true faith----like the prayers of the ancients---who also used spiritual dance with prayer for weather needs of the people---[ie: non-sacrificial ancient Hebrew or Native American Indian dances----and other cultures that did not use human sacrifice for the weather requests]?



Shouldn't we be doing more investigation of our present system of science and technology that does not allow the media to use full public scutiny---or allow a bridge of faith and prayer and questions to exist between the world of faith and science? what about the minds of schools kids who need to question and inquiry and information gather themselves about these things----and how and if the ties of our human genetic make up---our natural inquisitive genetic make-up---- in ties with our medical sciences---may have connections with the weather and weather and energy technologies as well.................??????

I look and constantly review the owrks of Carl Sagan---our Mr.roger's of the Science world of the 70's through the 90's---who was loved for his art in science, and his work at NASA projects as well......The TV Series COSMOS says it all to me.....His books: "THE DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD: SCIENCE AS A CANDLE IN THE DARK"---The past chapter in this book really gets to me---as it kind of sets the stage for what good infoamtion gathering is about, and how we did not have good information gathering when it came to our need to know ---pre-9/11---"GOOD PARTIOT'S ASK QUESTIONS"....I also loved his chapter 2, "SCIENCE AND HOPE", when it comes to the Eskimo knowledge of what great mega-storm wisodm is about.......Carl Sagan also wrote "THE DRAGONS OF EDEN: SPECULATIONS OF THE ORIGIN OF MAN " He speaks of these same "dragons" these corporate technological demons---that everyone can own in their garage.......These demon dragons of Eden----in his chapter, "EDEN AS A METAPHOR", in the book. (I believe I also came across these dragons of Carl Sagan's in my life---the ones he spoke about in his books, in our local frontpage newpaper coverage of corruption---these dragons actually were local neighborhood pseudo-marketing agents---now fundamentalist racketeering ex-members of our present day society.)
Where is our spirit of freedom going in this country? Can we count on support---of our local friendship empowerment programs---that Our Freedom of Information Act will hope out for our love of information gathering---as an information gathering people?

We are really having some tough wild times of it riding out these winds of these mega-hurricane storms and these storm surges that follow their aftermath----------and the winds of change of gross injustices in our areas of health and medical sciences. I often think in my own faith---that Jesus also thought of weather concerns in His own life time and for other life times to come, when he said:

John 3:8
John 3:8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The Lord has been known to calm these winds and waves of the proverbial storms in life---but for me---I believe in Him for these real storms too---when we need it most---and when we need them most to be calmed...I trust in HIM, especially with life along the waters and winds of the Chesapeake Bay here, small town life----especially during the sudden unexpected thunderstorms, squalls and small twister on this side of the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, along our shores......I love the bird life on both sides of the Bay and of the mountains of Maryland......studying the rocks, the trees, the stones and birdlife...

I think these are times we have to look deep inside ourselves, individually and as an American people, and ask where are the ethics of our market sciences going in our energy technolgies (?)---where is the ethics of our media and information power and empowerment industries heading (?)----and where are our earth and weather sciences and technologies going, with how ( the manner in which and the intent ) these public weather forecasters are using in communicating their predictions to the mass public?

We need time to assess the ever changeability of the winds from the Lord---with our basic human intelligence and our faith in God, through our own spirit through guidance of Holy Spirit, and we should be given time, by media weather predictions and basic information sharing to set up prayer groups---for the Lord to intervene in mega-storm weather conditions...........

The opening up of faith and spiritual consciosness in our sciences and technology, even as just a basic creative visionary bridge, is not a new idea....Einstein, Freud ( in his "Future as an Illusion ") and Carl Sagan's works-(--especially in his "Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark"), to name a few scientists, have believed in this visionary bridge of hope between the truth, and faith---the sense of the mysterious, and spirituality in our sciences. Its a very important hope to be still hoping for, and possibly to someday be a part of, the threshold of this bridge of science and faith:



Einstein has said:

"Science without religion is lame,
Religion without science is blind."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encirles the world."

"The sense of the mysterious lies in the cradle of true art and true science."

Kahil Gibran has said:
"The light (energy) of the stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So it is with great men who died, centuries ago,---but still reach us with the radiation (light energy) of their personalities."

"Thoreau has said:
"Knowledge does not come to us in deatils, but in flashes of light from heaven."
and
"Let nothing come between you and the light."

"The farther backward you can look---
the farther forward you are likely to see."

Winston Churchill

On Weather and our Human DNA:

COMMUNICATION AND THE DNA MOLECULE

"Research, involving over seventeen hundred experiments, demonstrates that DNA in living cells can comunicate with other nearby cells through the transmission of energy in the form of LIGHT. These results indicatge that cells communicate with one another indepently of bio-chemistry and of organ systems, such as the circulatory system, the nervous sytem, or the immune system."

Leonard Laskow "The Healing System"

Are we not all the Body of Christ?
What else can we do?

"No peace among the nations, without peace among the religions,
No peace among the religions, without dialogue among the religions.
No dialogue among the religions, without investigation of the foundation of the religions."

Hans Kung

More in spiritual thought, proactive faith and integrity and ethical reasoning which should be placed in more public polls and more public scutiny into the marketing of our weather sciences and the industries and technologies and of our genetic engineering technologies as well--- in mass public communications---and the information and communciation industries of this country.

The Bird Flu epidemic is a sign there is already too much corrupt technologies going on promoting animal-to -organ transplantation. In our country now, there are hundreds of thousands of swine being injected with human DNA( in unscutenized ways), so the potential of parademic viruses coming out in this country now---or laying latent in the ground---in the disposal of these dead---part human/part swine bodies lie....in the ground water of these part human/part swine manure has contaminated. This is a senseless industry of the taxpayers and the federal government---the HHS and the Bio-tech Regulatory Agencies to be supporting without any adequate EIS ( Environmental Impact Statement) to support the horrors and mass human destructive dangers in this industry alone...that can be going on----in our neighborhood swine farms throughout our country, and in the UK.

Perhaps there should be more personality testing for faith---reality testing, emotional intelligence testing, perception testing, situational testing for basic faith and humanistic values.....to begin with--- of all weather forecasters....and those in the government agencies----that support industries and technologies like these in our country.

I have always believed we are a more intelligent people than the media makes us out to be---that the media projects us to be, and sometimes projects upon us with certain kinds of advertising. We are more intelligent through our faith in God, and by our defence of our Constitutional Rights---than the media--- and the potential ararchal sedition of these technologies, and potentially foreign market adversaries, give us credit for.

I have always believed thunderstorms--all our weather in general---does have its own character and life cycles specific to the time they are arising from and the environmental climate and conditions they are coming out of. I also believe in assessing the natural power of storms through the nature and animal and bird life in my environment.

Communicating weather prediction and analysis --is a basic question I have also had about our genetic engineering sciences and our healthy natural genes--------how should we be considering ourselves as a people---some of faith---some not of any faith at all----and all owing our basic intelligence to all of the human race---not just of the extreme political greed and power agendas of a few, to a living God?

Symbollically in the 137th Psalm, this Psalm is about absolute grief of the fate of grossly appalling slavery. The kind of slavery the Hebrew's themselves devastingly feared----the kind of slavery that silenced the songs of lament of their fellow countrymen, who had to go into that kind of totally inhuman Captivity and become slaves to foreign Babylonian gods at the time. ( Its now ironic----or war and our major foreign concerns are again being staged in ancient Babylonia---now Iraq...)The Psalmist also mentions the "Children of Edom", which to me, appear to be "the evil corporate half Children/half dragons of Edom"---mindless and godless characters in the drama of ancient human power agendas---who raged in blood-fury of their cult behaviors and cred over the lives---the life-blood and spirit of the Hebrew peoples, again and again---blasting their blood-cult rage and blasphemies against all human life and spirit. These cries were:
"RAZE IT, RAZE IT....EVEN TO THE FOUNDATIONS THEREOF.......

This, to me. is still a subtle and obviously intentful marketing ploy---to take away the civil rights of those who can empower others with good question asking conserns that is still going on in time---and an absolute power agenda in our bio-tech markteting and science industries---our mass communication weather industries, that needs more public attention in our mass media industries.

This is a grave quest---one of mass cultural and empowerment needs of the American spirit and people......that has been in the works of Carl Sagan, and studies of Nick Begin and the advances of Tesla technology......

I still have hopes that we, as a liberal christian beleive---with our intangible gifts of faith and creative spiritual insight and with our civil rights and justice system in this country---- may someday find these proverbial lost--- "Harps of Babylon",-----expose these coporate dragons for what they are---broker brokers of get rich abusive schemes------ lost on shores of those ancient waterways........

In thoughts of the HOPES OF FREEDOM in our land----if there were any dreams of evidence of the hopes of finding some ancient mystery....In thoughts of finding and perhaps being able to assess and better scutenize------some ancient other-worldly visitors--Could they have existed for reasons of love?--- for love? or not for love at all---but their own devious power and control agendas?-----------and of ancient vision......mindful of Einsten's vision of the sense of the mysterious lies at the cradle of true art and true science--- in hopes of the TRUE FREEDOM AND SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY of the minds and spirit of the children of our generation........



"Photography, through "the camera" is an instrument of defection. We photograph not only what we know, but also what we don't know."

Lisette Model

"In photography, if I am able to evoke only a feeling of the reality of the surface of the physical world, but also a feeling of the existence that lies mysteriously beneath its surface---I feel I have succeeded. At its best, photography is a symbol that not only serves to illuminate some of the darkness of the unknown, but also to lessen the fears that too often accompanying the journeys from the known to the unknown."

Wynn Bullock

"Questions are the creative arts of the intelligence."

Frank Kingdon

"The only interesting answers are those which destroy the question."

Susan Sontag

"The uncreative mind can spot the wrong answers,---but it takes a very creative mind to spot the wrong questions."

Antony Jay

"Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers."

"History is but a registry of crime and misfortune."

Voltaire

"The interval between the events is more significant than the events themselves."

Einstein

not between right and wrong."

Carl Jung

basic Elements Of Individual Behaviors In Organizations"

1. the Locus Of Control---degree To Which An Individual Believes That Behavior Has A Direct Impact On The Consequences Of That Behavior, And Its Relationship To Self-control And Control Of One's Life:

the Internal Locus Of Control
people With This Trait Feel Life Has Higher Power, Or God---that Faith Guides Their Life---or With Less Strength Of This Trait---that Fate, Luck Or Chance Guides The Individual
the External Locus Of Control
people With This Trait Feel That Forces Are Beyond Their Control In Their Efforts To Reason With Why Things Happen To Them And In Relation To Their Conscience And Consciousness About Behaviors Around Them As Well

2- machiavellianism---behavior That Is Directed At Gaining Power And Controlling Behaviors Over Others ---rational And Unemotional Behaviors Willing To Lie And Manipulate To Keep Their Positions Of Power...there Is Also Little Weight On Loyalty And Friendship, Empathy Or Self Awareness ( Concepts Of Emotional Intelligence From Daniel Goleman's Book, "emotional Intelligence")

Einstein

"In science, it often happens in science that scientists say, "You know, that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They realy do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens everyday. I cannot recall the last time that happened in politics or religion."

ARMY TO STUDY THUNDERSTORMS......



In childhood, children can see the evils of the behaviors of adults.......however, the reasoning power come much later in life.......

I remember a game played in the perfectly square cement blocks of our cement sidewalk walkways, called hopscotch---where we used chalk to mark the board and blocks of our game......I also remember the appallingly bizarre behaviors and glaring stares of anger of my supposedly girlfriend's father...a proud arrogant blond white supremist who used one of these blocks, while he was sitting on the front steps to his house, to trick my perception...While I was standing there in front of his house, with his wife and daughter ( my supposed girlfriend) on the steps with him---he placed his shoe over the center of a block where a worm had left it little trail in the wet cement....... and moved his foot---so I thought I was looking at the wet cement with the actual worm still in it......then he passed his foot back over the worm trail.....and the cement was hardened again with the worm trail gouged in the dry hard cement.....

I don't think all those arrogant supremists...that came of the WWII germany cult behaviors were assessed or audited in our cultures by good integrity testing or personality testing as they should have done with that kind cult behaviors.

The books, "The Boys From Brazil" and "The Choir Boys" are novels that came out of the 70's cultures perhaps expressing a concern for the corporate aggressions ( and possibly the corporate turmoil of the medical engineering industries) against the liberal leadership of the 60's cultures.........perhaps against the freespirit cultures of the 60's movements in the spirit of the people........

I believe the Lord watches over my perception, and the tricks by those of the evil one, but this was an obvious game of self-righteous deception. "The Lord knows those who are His".....and "Let all those who Name the Name of the Lord, depart from iniquity.."

I was about 7 at the time of that cement worm trick too place....in the 60's.....

My father had a sidewinder serpent tattoo on his left forearm he was proud of, as an electronic engineer for the government....I had alot of esteem in it too....He explained it was a sidewinder snake...like the ones out in Arizonia desert sands where he was doing top secret work out in the desert for the government at the time.......I remember him coming back from the desert. He wanted to play a game with our perception, as kids---( syncrontious to the worm game) using an old army blanket and whipping it up in the air so fast---we would see a sidewinder where the blanket was lying on the floor....
I hated to dissappoint him, but I never did see the sidewinder......

ARMY TO STUDY THUNDERSTORMS

SEEK UNDERSTANDING

Asbury Park Evening Press, Sat., Aug. 4, 1962

FT.MONMOUTH---An attempt to analyze the life history of thunderstorms by causing small temporary cloud changes has started in central Arizonia, the Department of Defense has announced.

PROJECT BATON, a Department of Defense research project supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, has been established to study atmospheric processes and modification. As part of this program, the U.S. Army Electronics Research and Development Agency and is contractor. Meteorology Research Inc., of Pasedena Calif., are jointly conducting experiments in the central Arizona area. The scientific team is led by Dr. Helmut Weickmann of the Electronics Agency and Dr. Paul McCready of Meteorology Research, Inc.

The U.S. Army Electronics Research and Developement Agency is a major element of the newly established U.S. Army Electronic Command at Ft. Monmouth.

TO ANALYZE DATA

Analysis of data from this experiment is expected to expand man's far-from-complete understanding of storm physics, and to provide new knowledge useful for forecasting, fire prevention, and possibly for artifically shaping the weather, some day, an agency spokesman said.

The experiment is not concerned with causing rain or permanently modifying stormclouds, but with the study of the evolution of isolated thunderstorms, and the relationship between their physical develpement and lightening formation. The Arizona experiment will not affect the area's weather pattern. The minor changes in single storm clouds are temporary and do not measureably alter the storm's later evolution.

During the storm season at Flagstaff, Ariz., the scientists are selecting "guinea-pig" storms and sprinkling them with chemicals and dry ice to create structural changes. The effects are being thoroughly analyzed from the ground and from the air with time-lapse cameras, stereo still cameras, storm radar, lightening detectors and air-borne heat sensors."

This precedes the infra-red technology advances he also worked on for the government......

THE GHOST OWL



attachment.php



AKA: THE GHOST OWL; THE SPIRIT OWL; THE SCREECH OWL; DUSK OWL; LITTLE-EARRED OWL

The call of the screech owl sounds like the eeirest other-worldly fierce neighing of a highly charged ghost horse.........it is definitely an other-worldly sound of the whinnying of a ghost horse
or the pale horse itself---
