Trump is a bloodline mason with a connection and fondness to the people, loves his ego being stroked but ultimately takes and follows his orders. There are factions amongst the globalists jostling for position. Everything around him is pure theatre. Q Anon is a psy op they laugh about.

When I finally started reading Qanon posts I recognized a psy-op in about three minutes. Meeting a few adherents it felt like an advanced mind-control technique. Trump strikes me more as a mere egotist rather than how the left sees him as Hitler 2.0, or the man to save America as many on the right see him, though if he be a globalist, he would be a better leader than the globalists who hate him, though he seemed quite outmatched by them in his first round.

Orange man good / bad. Trust the plan

I don't trust the plan, but I do find it fascinating :)

Indeed, there is no plan, no white hats, nada. Accelerated race against time. Too many awakening to an overplayed hand. The genocide needs to be ramped up and the infrastructure in place before the next pole shift. Some say the Bible is the ultimate psy-op but there are lessons to learn. I will trust in God and Jesus. I do not fear death.

I'm not sure what you mean by the genocide needs to be ramped up and the infrastructure in place before the next pole shift. Otherwise Eliphas Levi said magic is the unification of Reason and Faith.

Sorry bit out of left field. There is a well documented plan to destroy us (Day Tapes, Kissinger Report Limits to Growth etc). Similarly we are due a Carrington event any time in the next decade. My point is this 50-100 year plan is being rushed now so "they" are getting sloppy. Everything has been inverted. Hope this helps.

Out of the park! I get that message you posted even in short essays.

Regarding women and childbearing, "labor" is something that most men would not be able to withstand. And, sadly, a growing number of WOMEN are submitting to Caesarian surgical births instead of fulfilling the crucial vaginal canal birth which benefits both mother and child in ways that are still being documented! These "just cut the baby out" baby-mamas actually don't even know or care about the benefits of vaginal births.

One reason that the medical "experts" give for recommending a C-Section "birth" is that "It's an emergency!" so the mother should automatically trust him/her/it. Also, many mothers in this day and age don't know how to really WORK. Their lives have been so boring and effortless due to modern technology that they don't know what real struggle is like. They think that 20-30 hours of child-labor is *unheard of*, that they are unique in experiencing this condition, when in fact IT IS THE NORM, especially for first-time mothers!

Another issue is that childbirth is made more difficult because of the mother's poor diet (processed foods, refined sugars/flours/oils, fried foods), combined with lack of sunshine, fresh air, and exercise, and the father's lack of protective nature for the family (the men, too, are unhealthy overall).

Let's add in environmental toxins and we've got a challenging-at-best situation for most pregnant mothers, their unborn babies, and the process of bringing them into this crazy world.

Oh, and people in general do not use their crucial reasoning skill known as "discernment," more colloquially known as their Bullshit Detector.

I have been on a dating site for a bit, just because, and I am struck by how it never seems to occur to many women to mention if they have any skills or talents, because I presume they don't have any that are not required by the jobs they have had. There is a lot of talk about what they want, a lot of "finding my other" like they are still teenagers, and yet so remote as to be not capable of or willing to really engage. A reader told me he's sure online dating has made women a lot more picky, while it seems to be making me less so. That and a lot of ladies here in rural MN are carrying a lot of excess HFCS.

Men used to be able to manage a lot more physical pain, but yes, childbirth is a transcendent thing men can not imagine.

I feel for you with the dating scene these days. I have heard from other men that women on these apps are mostly shallow and will scroll through other profiles *while actually on a date,* then abruptly leave the guy they're with to go meet the new one at the bar across the street. Again, modern conveniences like those apps offer a plethora of choices and encourage that shallowness and unwillingness to fully engage. If one wants a true, healthy, lasting relationship, one needs to be vulnerable, at least to the point of sharing one's deepest values as well as their desires for relationship itself.

I never had to do "dating apps." I just went out into the world and did things that made me happy. I met *a lot* of men while auditioning for bands, writing in coffeehouses, and going to clubs to hear music. I think that was the key: I wasn't doing those activities to meet potential mates, but to fulfill myself and build my skills. Of course, I had my intention, as well as my list of ideal traits, skills, etc. Yes, I made a list!

Anyway, you are very handsome, kind, and intelligent, with good energy and a great smile! I envision you with a woman who matches your integrity in mind, body, and spirit.

You are very kind. Also, I do not mean to blame women. Women have reason to be wary in this atomized society, and tech exasperates that. And I am often self-conscìous irl particularly if drinking, as well as preoccupied with solitary study and writing, and perhaps more with a longing for the Great Mother than dating...

I didn't take it as you blaming women. We have been bamboozled by the wayward wizards and their fake "movements" just as many men have. It would have to be a very, very special woman to match your prowess. And like I said, she would be in the spaces where you do what you love to do, what you *must* do with your life! (Or, she would be introduced to you by someone who *gets* you. I have made a few matches in my lifetime, and it's a really magical process. Not saying I can do that *at will* though, haha.) Meanwhile, The Great Mother awaits your next phase and/or project!

This morning, while making coffee, I read today's bible readings on my phone. The gospel reading was from Luke 4, where Jesus says,

" 'The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.' "

It is such good news! And yet, moments later,

"All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way."

Continuing on making coffee, I read your essay. It is fun and interesting and contains a lot of truth.

But then I thought, "wait a minute." I just read a story about Jesus as Trickster God."

The entire Gospel of Luke is the story of Jesus as Trickster God. It is all about him taking on the authorities, beating them at their own game, and walking through them when they are ready to throw him off a cliff. And then he lets the authorities capture him, try him, and kill him; then he rises from the dead to set the people free.

Huh. And what about the three other gospels? No one has ever given me a good explanation about why they are the way that they are. Well, they seem like three more archetypal god stories.

John = Jesus as the Creator God

Matthew = Jesus as the fulfiller of prophecy and reinterpreter of the Law

Mark = Jesus as the God who walked the earth as a man (his follower Peter's stories about life with Jesus)

I've always wondered why Luke's Gospel always gets short shrift. I think your take on it is a good explanation as to why. I suspect many Christians today, if Jesus returned, would act a lot like the people in that synagogue.

2. I had an on-line friend write today (on the topic of your essay, today's gospel, and my thoughts upon it), "Adam's fall skewed humanity's perception of the Father. Jesus came to fix that and put Adam to death in himself and raise up a new humanity in its place, one that can see God for the Father He is."

After he wrote that, my first reaction was that Jesus paid a big price for me to be making such little progress. Am I letting Jesus raise me up in a new humanity, one that can see God for the Father He is? Not very well.

I think "fallen-ness" is largely a choice. You strike me as harder on yourself than God or Jesus would be.

1. In our fallen-ness, we have so much in common with the people in the synagogue.

"Just who does he think he is? The Messiah isn't going to act like that!"

Yeah, I can imagine being like that.

In the standalone stories, Coyote is very much the trickster, although he sometimes bites off more than he can handle.

Expand full comment

I remember one story where Fox convinces Coyote that the moon's reflection on a lake is a delicious maize cake. Coyote almost drowns as a result of Fox's deception. The story continues with Coyote chasing after the fox's trail. When he catches up to Fox, he finds him at the base of a cliff. Before Coyote can exact his fury, Fox tricks him into believing the cliff was about to collapse and he's been holding it up. Fox pleads that he doesn't have the strength to keep holding up the rock face, so Coyote takes his place, believing Fox will bring help. Of course, this was just a ruse and no help arrives.

I'll try to piece together the title of the book. This was in the school library 45 years ago. There were other stories I involving just Coyote or Raven. Some of them were gruesome.

Telling stories is fascinating. Get the title.
