<p>It is said that a person went to challenge
|
||
a Zen master, or to learn what he wanted
|
||
to learn, he went to a Zen master. The
|
||
Zen master invited him to sit at the same
|
||
table as the Zen-man (who was 'Zen master')
|
||
any-way, Zen-man (ha-ha-ha-ha) (laughing)
|
||
had a tea set, (if you believe in G!D and
|
||
the Here-after, (^_^) Zen-man had tea-set with
|
||
the help of G!D, together with tea from
|
||
foreign lands - foreign to Zen-man = tea leaves,
|
||
and tea-pouring lessons or tea appreciation lessons,
|
||
or events or classes, if you will)
|
||
so Zen-man took a moment to relax his posture,
|
||
focus on breath, breathe out loudly (laughing,
|
||
ha-ha-hak) (Clapping hands, ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
||
any-way, Zen-man pouring tea into tea-cup,
|
||
pouting lips aside (Zen-man may or may not
|
||
be female, or male, for that matter) pouting lips
|
||
aside, Zen-man poured and poured until
|
||
cup was full. Then he poured and poured and poured
|
||
and (his... her) cup runneth over (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
||
And the challenger asked Zen-man, no, challenger
|
||
or potential student told or shouted at Zen-man:
|
||
'Stop! Stop! What you doing!' Oh, so loud, he shouted.
|
||
'Can't you see the cup over-flowing?' (You stupid
|
||
or sumthin') (movie quote: 'stupid is as stupid
|
||
does, my mama doth tell me' no prizes for guessing what or
|
||
who)
|
||
Zen-man to potential student: 'Yes, so, your mind
|
||
is like cup. If your cup full of water, tea,
|
||
chocolate, what-have-you, mud, maybe, who knows,
|
||
how to pour tea from foreign lands into your
|
||
cup?' (please compare to what our Teacher
|
||
and Lord Christ Jesus said about wine-skin,
|
||
wine, old wine, new wine: 'Nobody pours new wine
|
||
into an old wine-skin. Not only would the new wine
|
||
not gel or mix well with the old, the old wine-skin
|
||
would burst (upon adding or pouring new wine)'

<p>I have visited a number of organisations, and the people there may be guilty of worship of idols or false gods.
|
||
I appeal for witnesses to approach me at the following email address, for as it is written, "Don’t listen to complaints against
|
||
the pastor unless there are two or three witnesses to accuse him.
|
||
If he has really sinned, then he should be rebuked in front of the whole church so that no one else will follow his example." (1

<p>How have they committed idol-worship? Instead of worshipping G!D, they take a prophet for their god. (a prophet is a servant of G!D). Or, they have sung praises to a prophet who is not above G!D, instead of praising G!D.
|
||
Yes, I am talking about the Messiah or the Christ, who himself commanded, "Love G!D with all you have." (Matthew 22:37).
|
||
And once more, the Christ is not above G!D. As it is written, "However, I want you to realize that Christ has authority over every man,
|
||
a husband has authority over his wife, and G!D has authority over Christ." (1 Corinthians 11:3, GW)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For more information on how common it is for so-called 'Christians' to fall into idol-worship, please see the following

|
||
<p>I want to finish this with a word from G!D himself:
|
||
“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
|
||
You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your god, am a jealous god who will not tolerate
|
||
your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children;
|
||
the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
|
||
But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands."
|
||
(Exodus 20:4-6, NLT)

<p>What? You say, a few strong
|
||
men are killing people on the
|
||
behalf of the Compassionate
|
||
and Most Merciful One who loves
|
||
justice and detests wickedness,
|
||
the All-knowing, All-hearing and All-seeing
|
||
one who has no beings attached,
|
||
the Creator of the Universe and everything
|
||
in it, creator of you and me, even me-
|
||
the Judge - the One and Only Judge -
|
||
the Sovereign over the Last Day - am I
|
||
hearing that a few strong-men are-
|
||
courageously killing people in the name of
|
||
G!D Most High, or sacrificing themselves
|
||
in martyr-dom, in the name of G!D-knows-who?
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, it is written in Scriptures:
|
||
(for those who have ears, let them hear)
|
||
"The LORD G!D declares, 'I the LORD G!D
|
||
want you to show love (mercy), not to offer
|
||
sacrifices. I want you to know me (G!D)
|
||
I want you to know G!D, rather than
|
||
burn offerings.

<p>"Take heed," it is written in Scriptures.

"There will be terrible times

in the last days. People will be lovers
|

of themselves, brutal, not lovers of the
|
||
good (that is, not lovers of G!D who is
|

good, and true in deed and word). That is
|

to say, they will pervert justice.
|

You know of my longsuffering, patient

and elsewhere." (second book of Timothy,

<p>What's the song again?
|
||
'You love-
|

you give love a bad name?'
|

</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
How 'bout "What name you think
|
||
you giving G!D Most High?"
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>But like the apostle Paul who was named
|
||
Saul, who persecuted people, and later
|
||
became a student of Christ Jesus, a disciple,
|
||
that is, those who kill people, killing
|
||
brutally - yes, agony, great distress,
|
||
absolutely, great upset and worry
|
||
and sorrow, you will go through when
|
||
those whom you love dearly die in
|
||
such a way that you lose what you
|
||
have perceived them to be like - as much
|
||
as that may be so, the plans of G!D
|
||
are higher than the plans of Man, and
|
||
the thoughts of G!D are higher than the
|
||
(plentiful) thoughts of Man. Honestly,
|
||
I do not know what to say. To focus
|
||
on Scripture, which have the breath
|
||
of G!D in every word, who would have
|
||
thought that Paul would become a disciple
|
||
of the Christ? </p>
|
||
<p>"You may have heard it
|
||
said like this: 'love those whom
|
||
you have received love from; hate
|
||
your enemies.' Truly, to you, I say, '
|
||
Love your enemies. Do good to those
|
||
who do you harm. Then you will be
|
||
children of the Most High" These
|
||
are words from the Son of Man - the
|
||
Anointed One called himself the Son
|
||
of Man - and I am not above the Christ;
|
||
neither am I above G!D
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I have no ability to control whether
|
||
harm or benefit comes upon you. In truth,
|
||
I have no ability (or power) to control
|
||
whether harm or benefit comes upon me.
|
||
If I had that ability, I would have
|
||
given myself many benefits already.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If you- great sorrow- I'm h- obviously
|
||
enough, I am having difficulty
|
||
communicating - I don't know what to say.

I'm just glad you're reading this.

《
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>There is a woman. She has mysterious tics.
|
||
Adapting from a book that G!D in His mercy
|
||
allowed me to read - a book that Señorita
|
||
Clarissa supposedly wrote - and to share
|
||
happily, of course.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'Set your grains off on a ship that sails.
|
||
Maybe one day it will return to you.' (from
|
||
book of Ecclesiastes, which may be found
|
||
in Scriptures that some call the Bible)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>There is a woman. She keeps secrets.
|
||
It exhausts her-
|
||
oh- Señorita Clarissa -
|
||
experience she has more than me,
|
||
in story-telling, which she- ah-
|
||
any-way, her tradition-
|
||
well, G!D gave me a thing freely,
|
||
and giving it as freely as it was received-
|
||
she has a chair, empty (Señorita
|
||
Clarissa, that is, not the woman who
|
||
has a secret) she ensures there
|
||
will be an empty chair when she tells
|
||
stories to people. This is so that
|
||
she tells stories that can address
|
||
the concerns of people - to heal, as in
|
||
medicine, if story were to be medicine -
|
||
so that (how?) empty chair, is to let
|
||
the unseen be recognised among those
|
||
who gather to hear story from her. For
|
||
the concerns of people may or may not
|
||
be seen- so, yes, if you want, to add
|
||
to ambience, you can say, it's a little
|
||
deeper than that. Much deeper- (chatter
|
||
coming into godless territory) -
|
||
it is to make clear (of course G!D knows
|
||
more than I do) what the story-teller
|
||
should or should not be addressing.
|
||
Going to refer to Scriptures: 'Brethren,
|
||
not all spirits (what is a spirit?
|
||
the Son of Man saying: 'a spirit o-
|
||
a spirit does not have flesh and bones,
|
||
but I have flesh and bones; touch me and see!')
|
||
not all spirits that come to you (or
|
||
come to an empty chair in a way that
|
||
those who can sense are able to sense)
|
||
are of the Spirit of G!D. For there will be
|
||
many false prophets in those days. (ya,
|
||
you know, they say "LORD G!D declares" but
|
||
surely they declare falsely. Ask them
|
||
for Scriptures that support what they say,
|
||
usually that will shut them up, or leave them
|
||
silent, if you choose to confront them). How do
|
||
you test whether a spirit is of G!D - the Holy
|
||
One of Israel, the Creator of all the Earths -
|
||
or not? It confesses that the Son of Man
|
||
came in flesh, eating and drinking, and rose
|
||
from the dead. If it confesses so, it is of the
|
||
Anointed One, whom G!D has sent. If it confesses
|
||
other-wise ("Oh, I'm just a spirit!" or "what Son of
|
||
Man? I do not- I'm just a spirit; I do not know
|
||
what Son of Man you're talking about!" or you know,
|
||
any other what-ever, including a disagreement
|
||
with- never mind, that's another topic) it is of
|
||
the opposition to the Anointed One,
|
||
the opposing force to the Anointed One, which
|
||
you have heard will come into the world,
|
||
and is indeed in the world (in truth of word
|
||
and deed, as surely as the LORD G!D lives,
|
||
I have witnessed this). This passage is from (the)
|
||
gospels.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Hm.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, in the context of story-telling, oh-
|
||
for G!D has warned me of the following: 'Who-ever
|
||
is against the Christ, do not let them into your
|
||
house (home) - which may or may not be physical; may
|
||
or may not be seen before men - do not welcome them.
|
||
If you do so, you (and I) would share in (or join)
|
||
their wicked ways (such as idol-worship, those
|
||
poor, deluded fools -
|
||
un-repentant, if I may add so myself,
|
||
having bowed before a bowl of porcelain,
|
||
or ceramic, once, or even twice, or three
|
||
times, and remembering with gratitude
|
||
how the LORD G!D, who is the All-knowing
|
||
All-hearing and All-seeing rescued me from the
|
||
brink of Fire.).' (second book of John maybe)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'Beloved by Christ, you, take heed (or take care)
|
||
to not lose what we (you) have worked so hard for.'
|
||
(again from second of John; Scriptures, that is)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'Do not be troubled; do not fear; I bring peace,
|
||
and it is a peace that the world does not give.'
|
||
(from Scriptures)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To return to the point or note on empty chairs
|
||
at story-telling, for me it is helpful to discern
|
||
what has to be addressed. Basically, it helps
|
||
me to know who my people are. (Then I can choose
|
||
to address, or not to address, what-ever the unseen
|
||
is presenting to me, with the help of G!D Most High,
|
||
of course)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>The Son of Man saying: 'Those who are not with
|
||
Me are against Me. Those who do not
|
||
gather with Me are not with Me, and those
|
||
who are not with Me are against Me.'
|
||
(book of Matthew, chapter twelve, verse
|
||
thirty) <a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/12-30.htm">
|
||
http://biblehub.com/matthew/12-30.htm</a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Or, again: 'Those who are not with Me are against
|
||
Me. And those who are- those who do not gather
|
||
with Me scatter.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Dispassion? Discernment? Contradiction? Compassion
|
||
and dispassion together?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>As written in Scriptures: 'and Simeon blessed them,
|
||
(those who were with the Anointed One)
|
||
and said unto Mary his mother,
|
||
'Lo, this one is set for (will be the reason
|
||
for) the falling and
|
||
rising again of many in Israel, and
|
||
will be a sign of contradiction -
|
||
those who have ears, let them hear -'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(contradiction? "sign of contradiction"? what's that,
|
||
can it be eaten, you ask.)
|
||
|
||
'To the one, we are an odor of death and demise;
|
||
to the other, a fragrance that brings life.
|
||
And who is qualified for such a task?'
|
||
<a href="http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/2-16.htm">?
|
||
(2 Corinthians 2:16)</a> second book
|
||
of Corinthians, chapter two, verse sixteen, yes.

|

</a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>That I may be a witness of Christ, so that
|
||
my Father who is in Heaven, and unseen before
|
||
men, may be glorified, happily learning
|
||
to be both an odour of death and demise,
|
||
and to be a fragrance of life. Did someone say
|
||
"contradiction?" or "paradox" perhaps?
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To summarise: empty chair at story-telling,
|
||
if story-telling were to be a healing art,
|
||
or a form of healing, as in what some call
|
||
'rei-ki' or 'healing hands' - aids me
|
||
in discerning or to decide who to be
|
||
a fragrance of life to, who to be
|
||
an odour of death to - oh, (so happy)
|
||
praise be to G!D, of course, so-
|
||
may or may not help for you - depends
|
||
on action of G!D in your life, empty chair, that is-
|
||
a crutch need not be carried if man
|
||
learns to walk un-aided by crutch.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>A related story, in case not clear enough
|
||
(another contradiction, hm, huh-hul (laughing))
|
||
lay-man terms, huh - any-way supposedly the
|
||
Buddha (ha-hah-ha) told his students or disciples
|
||
to move themselves across a river. Then
|
||
they got into a boat, and rowed to the other side.
|
||
Then they took the boat with them. and (ha-ha-ha)
|
||
<br/>:-D
|
||
<br/>
|
||
walking, you know, with boat, after reaching
|
||
other side of river. Then the Buddha (still laughing)
|
||
saw this, sand and all on their feet, soaked
|
||
socks maybe, and carrying boat, you know,
|
||
and the Buddha (ha-ha-ha) said to them:
|
||
'Why are you carrying boat?'
|
||
They said: 'Oh, cross river, how? cross with boat!'
|
||
And the Buddha said: 'I said to cross river, n-
|
||
did I say to carry boat with you? Put the boat
|
||
down, oh you poor people! Walking on other
|
||
side of river- after- having crossed river, now
|
||
carrying boat that carried you across river-
|
||
put it down! put boat aside!'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, gladly boasting about thorn in flesh given
|
||
to me to keep me from becoming proud, and to torment
|
||
me, for the sake of the Christ, for I am strong
|
||
when I am weak; for the Lord, who is Lord of all,
|
||
said to me (when? when I asked him three times
|
||
to remove thorn in flesh from me) "my grace is
|
||
sufficient for you. My power is greatest
|
||
in weakness' Ya, so gladly delighting in weakness,
|
||
boasting about thorn in flesh, boasting happily
|
||
about persecutions, for the sake of Christ.
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>There- ah- toxic- G!D helped me to understand
|
||
them more a little- wondering- hm- To be returning
|
||
to woman who keep secret. Woman who keep secret
|
||
is tired, exhausted woman. She is like one
|
||
who - why is this relevant? because one such
|
||
woman may or may not be near me, toxic,
|
||
as if spewing acid all around, burning my skin,
|
||
as it were, even at time of writing, brethren.
|

G!D knows, and I do not know what will happen.
|
||
Suffice to say that G!D has revealed to me
|
||
that healing her or attending to her is not
|
||
within my concern. Are you for the Christ, or
|
||
not for the Christ? That is how G!D hath
|
||
shown me to divide those who come to me.
|
||
How can I bear the burdens of the world upon
|
||
myself, on my own? That is too much a burden
|
||
for a person such as myself. What mercy G!D is giving me!
|
||
I feel so pleasantly relieved - a fulfilment
|
||
of what the LORD G!D has promised in days past,
|
||
and reveals now: 'G!D will let a load of bricks
|
||
off your backs' (thanks, Papa)
|

</p>
|

<p>So, one of many known explanations, which
|
||
of course do not include an unknown explanation,
|
||
is- ah- less explanation, more description, which
|
||
may or may not be vain, futile, that is, empty talk -

</div>
|

<div>"Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and
|
||
remain as you were when God first called you.
|
||
This is my rule for all the churches. 18
|
||
For instance, a man who was circumcised (publicly
|
||
immersed in water, alternatively)
|
||
before he became a believer should not try to reverse it.
|
||
And the man who was uncircumcised (alternatively,
|
||
the woman who has had no public immersion in water,
|
||
which some are in the habit of doing)
|
||
when he became a believer
|
||
should not be circumcised (or immersed in water)
|
||
now.
|
||
19
|
||
For it makes no difference whether or not a man has
|
||
been circumcised. (or has had a simulation
|
||
of death and re-birth, through a public
|
||
immersion in water)
|
||
The important thing
|
||
is to keep God’s commandments.
|
||
|
||
20
|
||
Yes, each of you should remain
|
||
as you were when God called you. 21
|
||
Are you a slave (to money, men, women, people,
|
||
sex, children)
|
||
|
||
? Don’t let that worry you—but if
|
||
you get a chance to be free,
|
||
take it. 22
|
||
And remember, if you were
|
||
a slave when the Lord called you,
|
||
you are now free in the Lord.
|
||
And if you were free when the Lord
|
||
called you, you are now a slave of Christ.
|
||
23
|
||
G!d [has] paid a high price for you,
|
||
so don’t let people enslave you. (not to mention
|
||
the entrapment of money over your
|
||
very selves, or your souls. not to mention
|
||
the entrapment of sexual play with lustful
|
||
women. (or men, or what some call
|
||
LGBTQ and what-have-you. 'A+', huh?
|
||
is it not written in Scriptures the following:
|
||
'One cannot serve two masters.
|
||
If- ah, two cases. One will despise one master,
|
||
and love the other master. Or,
|
||
one will hate the other master, and devote
|
||
one to the one master.
|
||
If one loves
|
||
G!D, one will detest money.'
|
||
24
|
||
Each of you, dear brothers
|
||
and sisters - kin, members
|
||
of the same family as mine -
|
||
should remain as you were when G!d first called you."

<div>To G!D, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
|

Lord of lords, and king of kings, who loves
|
||
justice and detests wickedness.
|
||
<p>Why do the people who read the Quran
|
||
say, 'that surah... verse... it says
|
||
"the LORD G!D hath no begotten son"'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, in my limited experience,
|
||
at the minumum - LORD G!D help me
|
||
not be hostile towards You, for I
|
||
fear You greatly, as You know - I can
|
||
try to provide a little light, which
|
||
may or may not be the only form
|
||
of illumination - for (praise be to G!D,
|
||
who is Most High, the All-knowing,
|
||
All-hearing, All-knowing Best Planner)
|
||
there materialises explanations or
|
||
discoveries of all sorts according
|
||
to His wishes for Man; no, I do not-
|
||
I- G!D knows more than I do- so,
|
||
there is a discovery that G!D knows
|
||
and I do not know. So, out of many
|
||
explanations, there is an unknown explanation,
|
||
and mine is one of the many known ones.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>That should leave you space to enter
|
||
your own movement into the unknown, happily.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Oh, the joys and sorrows that G!D helps
|
||
me weather! To His glory, of course.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Intriguingly, G!D brings me to music
|
||
that may or may not be influencing
|
||
writing. As G!D wishes, I will obey.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Oh- oh- to answer the question:
|
||
'why do people say, "G!D hath
|
||
no begotten son"'
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(pause; inhale, exhale. breathe in,
|
||
breathe out.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(you want to know the name of music that
|
||
G!D is allowing me to listen as I write)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Oh, G!D, help me to let myself acknowledge
|
||
my human failings, and keep from becoming
|
||
proud.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(G!D showed me that I make mistakes)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, the following may or may not
|
||
be a mistaken observation.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>People give thought to their lives.
|
||
Then, they say, "I just want
|
||
something to call my own."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>They pray to G!D, in reverential
|
||
awe of G!D, or not, for a baby, a child
|
||
that they can bring into the world.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'We give them a child, a baby, as they
|
||
request' so the Quran says or records.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>....
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'Then, they say, "We did this
|
||
with the might of our hand, and the
|
||
strength of our arm! Or the effort
|
||
we have put in, on our own!"'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Forgetting that G!D gave them baby
|
||
when they asked. Truly, the hearts
|
||
of men (women, people) grow wicked
|
||
and ungrateful!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Yet among them, there are some
|
||
who bow or prostrate, fast or pray
|
||
according to the guidance We have
|
||
given them, and to those will be
|
||
twice the reward.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Ok. Hm, that's from the Quran, so far.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Oh, and: 'G!D is the All-knowing,
|
||
All-hearing and All-seeing, the Most
|
||
High one, exalted above all others,
|
||
indeed. And He is not unmindful
|
||
of your deeds.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, quoting from Quran aside, there-
|
||
coming into memory, or mind, is
|
||
people who say, "oh, my daughters
|
||
danced for me. That pleased me very much."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And - perhaps because G!D is known to some
|
||
as the Father - they go further
|
||
to say that they know what
|
||
pleases G!D, and what does not.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Maybe the reader is feeling outrage
|
||
at this preposterous assumption
|
||
that having a child that G!D gave to
|
||
one - becoming a father, that is -
|
||
one rather loudly goes on to proclaim
|
||
that what pleases one father pleases
|
||
the Father, too. I am shaking my head
|
||
in a feeling that defies names -
|
||
in the Quran, it is expressed better, in
|
||
ways more eloquent than mine: 'Would
|
||
thou invent a lie, a fabrication,
|
||
against G!D? Produce you a surah
|
||
or text such like, if you speak truth!'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Yes, if you follow logic - train
|
||
of thought, idiomatically speaking,
|
||
of course, for readers that may
|
||
be using a translator - electronic
|
||
maybe - that may or may not make
|
||
sense of the idiom "train of thought" -
|
||
it will be no surprise to you what
|
||
question I am going to ask.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Maybe you have become a father,
|
||
with the help of G!D. Would you invent
|
||
a lie against G!D - a lie that
|
||
says the following: that what gives
|
||
you pleasure is what gives G!D pleasure?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Produce you a surah or text such like,
|
||
that supports what you are saying,
|
||
if you speak truth!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>In the Quran, it is written, "Their
|
||
worship is hand-clapping and whistling."
|
||
This is a related note that the
|
||
reader may be interested to explore, regarding
|
||
expressions of so-called 'religion'
|
||
in society.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, G!D hath no begotten son, according
|
||
to that which is written in the Quran.
|
||
One possible explanation or reconciliation
|
||
with truth, or, that which is common
|
||
across religions - Christianity, Judaism,
|
||
Islam and still others - is that
|
||
this is a warning or a guard against
|
||
people - women, men alike, transexuals, too,
|
||
and what-have-you - that even if you become
|
||
a father, or a mother, or a parent, you-
|
||
your thoughts are not above the thoughts
|
||
of the Father, who is in Heaven, and blessed
|
||
indeed. For His thoughts are above the thoughts
|
||
of Man, and so are His ways and His will (for
|
||
me and you and them. Or you and me and them,
|
||
if you want to be scrupulous or meticulous
|
||
about language and its grammar and idiosyn-
|
||
or what-ever; I do not e- want- out of fear of
|
||
G!D, I s- oh, I do not dare to make an idol out
|
||
of language itself - a worthless idol, a
|
||
carven image, a thing of the world that cannot
|
||
save my soul one bit - yes, even if that means
|
||
using a- what people call it - imbuing in-animate
|
||
objects with human-like properties. Animorphism,
|
||
anthropomorphism, or writer-techniques - you know,
|
||
"if I were a bird," oh- not like that-
|
||
(hm) Well, suffice to say that in Spanish
|
||
language, and its cousins - ah, yes, maybe
|
||
that's it - a language is spiritually
|
||
dead, and yet people attribute human-like
|
||
properties to it- "Spanish language has
|
||
cousins in the French language, just as
|
||
the Mandarin language has cousins (or brothers)
|
||
in the Hakka dialect" - just for illustration.
|
||
So, about the language Spanish, and - oh, I fear G!D -
|
||
there may or may not be gender assignments
|
||
to things, you know? Is the colour green a male
|
||
or female? Any-way, getting out of point,
|
||
which was on "G!D has no begotten son"; to
|

practise what I preach, ah- G!D- it's so

in her life-style, for a move to Germany - for several weeks, maybe -
|
||
Chrys may or may not be experiencing 'separation anxiety', or
|
||
a feeling of loss of control over her life.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Oh, simply, for the words that have come out of her mouth,
|
||
G!D has done to her what G!D has seen fit to do. And who
|
||
am I to not let the will of G!D be done? For the will
|
||
of G!D is above my will, and I fear G!D greatly.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Our Teacher says - oh, the works of G!D are magnificently
|
||
beautiful and splendid and great; definitely above
|
||
my own, they are - our Teacher and Lord, the Christ, says:
|
||
"He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters."
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Chrys, whom G!D has put me into the vicinity of, has definitely and un-ambiguously
|
||
declared separation from me and the One who sent me.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, it is becoming clear to me - praise be to G!D - she is no longer within
|
||
my concern.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now, I tell you gladly what she has done. She molested me. I did not give
|
||
her permission to touch me. She touched me. 'Molesting our prophet,' as it is
|
||
written in the Quran.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>She put a white pill, that tastes bitter, into my mouth. One pill, or two.
|
||
For I spat out the first one, even though she forced water into my mouth.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Then G!D put it in me to give up resistance, and I was as a block of wood,
|
||
or, I tried my best to be as a corpse.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(Our Teacher and Lord says, "There will be famines and earthquakes in those
|
||
days. But these are all birthing pains. Where vultures gather, there a corpse is.")
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And, she inserted a finger into my mouth. For the second pill that she had put in
|
||
was somewhere around my left cheek, inside my mouth. She poked around in my mouth
|
||
(without my permission, if I may remind myself), with her finger, touching the pill
|
||
maybe.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To put in what you may or may not call a psy- oh, did someone say "projection" as
|
||
in psychology?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>She said to me, "You have to be fixed up. Are you going to spend your entire life
|
||
like this?"
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>It may or may not be projection (as in psychology). G!D has put it in her to do it, simply
|
||
speaking.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Then she said various things about G!D that I dare not repeat. Suffice to say, she is clearly
|
||
blind- hm, in any-case, is there not a verse in Scripture that goes like this:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"Thus," saith the LORD G!D, "do I make fools out of the wise, and expose the lies of prophets."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, out of fear of G!D, giving up - or - letting myself not be distressed over her soul's salvation,
|
||
and to follow guidance, to not let myself grieve over her, for she is of the kind that lags behind.
|
||
Or, in the words of our (patient and wise and tender-hearted) Teacher and Lord, Christ Jesus, whom I am not above:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good,
|
||
or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree
|
||
is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who
|
||
are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart,
|
||
the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure,
|
||
and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure. But
|
||
I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless
|
||
word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"ah,
|
||
what boldness they show for the Fire," as it is written in the Quran.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, out of fear of G!D, I dare not do as she has done. It is written in Scriptures,
|
||
"Enter not the house of the orphan (or fatherless), except to improve it."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>She (Chrys, that is) says she will wait. As it is written in the Quran, 'If they say, "We will wait"
|
||
say, this, O prophet: "I, too, will wait"'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, Jesus said, "Be merciful, as your Master is merciful."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I'm glad that was over; it was only a few hours ago- before morning came, that that happened.
|
||
(there was no light of the sun then)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>As it is written in Scriptures, "Brothers and sisters, kin, brethren, members of the same family
|
||
as I, I do not think I have made it my own, or that I have achieved perfection. One
|
||
thing I do: forgetting what lies behind, and pushing onward, for the upward call of G!D through
|
||
Christ Jesus."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>G!D has chased them out from before me, while typing on computer. This is to fulfil the words
|
||
of the LORD G!D: "You will look for your enemies, but find none."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Before closing letter, the words of our Lord and Teacher, the Christ: "It is inevitable for
|
||
temptation to be in the world. But woe be those who tempt any of these little ones,
|
||
or cause them- oh, to stumble - that is, to lose faith in G!D, who is good indeed - praise be to G!D -
|
||
woe be to those who lead any of little ones into temptation! How sorrowful it is for them!
|
||
Truly, truly, I tell you, it is better for them to tie a very heavy stone - a millstone,
|
||
or a giant image of what some call the Buddha - around their necks, and let a river
|
||
submerge them above their head-level."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(what mercy)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And because it came to mind, and may or may not be helpful to you, the saying that follows is
|
||
well-known among people who practise Zen: 'When you see the Buddha, kill the Buddha! When you
|
||
see your parents, kill your parents!'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To G!D be the glory, now. Amen. For-ever and ever.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And all the saints send greetings.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I don't know what to say. Well, I got a letter written.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And, I'm feeling a healthy sense of pride; proud of myself. Ah- Daddy who is in Heaven,
|
||
you're the best at loving me, and caring for me, and watching over me, and rescuing me. I'm-
|
||
ah- so happy- tears coming to eyes ('good tears,' some would say. 'tears of joy, they are.
|
||
good tears.' ha-ha-ha-ha (laughing in a little frightened and happy way))
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Rejoice! I say, again, rejoice in the Lord!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>May the love of G!D be with you. And I am a servant of G!D, you- just in case, do not worship
|
||
me! Worship G!D! For I am a servant of G!D, who has no beings attached, just like you. :-)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>ha-ha-ha-ha (laughing happily)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>:-)
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div><p>'You learn from y- those you call brethren, but do you learn
|
||
from enemies of yours?'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, a person asked me, 'why do you need G!D?'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Later, they said, 'But maybe some people need G!D. Maybe they need
|
||
healing.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, the following is something which doesn't help me (anymore)
|
||
but may be helpful to others
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Who? Those who think they have 'mental illness' - for it is said
|
||
that a person who consumes the services of those who are in
|
||
the mental health-care system is like a cookie that is being baked.
|
||
According to the information that is given to the consumer (of services),
|
||
the cookie will be shaped. And, well, if you've baked
|
||
a cookie, you ever tried changing the shape of a cookie
|
||
when it is hardened? Now, what if the cookie
|
||
has feelings? :-)
|
||
|
||
<br/>
|
||
^_^
|
||
<br/>
|
||
Which is easier, to change a cookie's shape before
|
||
baking, when the dough is soft, or when it is baked,
|
||
when the cookie is crispy and warm and maybe
|
||
even a little blackened? (overly blackened, if
|
||
I may add- you heard of carcinogens?)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>A line from a movie coming to mind: "An' that's the way
|
||
the cookie crumbles" (nope, no prizes for guessing which
|
||
movie that is) :-D
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>hm-hm-huh-huh (laughing) huk-hugu
|
||
</p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
So, guess what will happen if what they are
|
||
told is that they are 'ill' or 'dis-ordered' throughout their
|
||
consumption of services? It's not hard to imagine that
|
||
they will spend a life-time trying to fight an 'illness' even
|
||
when they leave the health-care system. Yes, those who tell
|
||
you 'take your pills because you are sick' will not help
|
||
you to ease the burden of taking your pills one bit (or ounce or gram).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>('bit' being an information-unit that Man has made in his limited ways and mind,
|
||
which are not above the ways and Mind of G!D Most High)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Where are they, ah- when you are sitting in a restaurant with someone you
|
||
like (a date, that is), and you say, 'Oh, excuse one moment me please, I have
|
||
to "take my pills"?'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Of course they are hypocrites; as the Teacher and Lord of ours, Christ
|
||
Jesus, whom I am not above, says: 'Woe be to you, teachers of the Law,
|
||
people of Pharisee (and people of Psychiatry, and people of Pills),
|
||
you hypocrites!'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'Observe what they do, but do not do as they do, for they do not
|
||
do as they say. They put a load on people's backs, but would not lift
|
||
a single finger to ease it. Hypocrites, they are!'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>In any case, since cookies are being baked in a way that G!D knows
|
||
and I do not know - yes, G!D knows and I do not know - the following
|
||
are some questions that you may or may not find helpful to ask yourself,
|
||
depending on where you are at in your consumption of services from
|
||
so-called peace-makers from the land of Psychiatry:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(oh, and the love of money (or worldly wealth, such as breadth of so-called
|
||
knowledge) is the root of Evil), as written in Scriptures. And G!D knows
|
||
what Evil is, and I do not know. And of course G!D is good; good indeed
|
||
is G!D, the Most Merciful and Compassionate One, whom I am of course not above)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>What questions?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If you want to make a recovery plan, in case of a - what do they call it -
|
||
relapse:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>what are the early warning signs?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>And what to do in a 'relapse'?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
And what to do to help in moving on?
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Sharing an example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Pink's -
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p><i>Oh, laughing, because song comes to mind- 'Pinky and the Brain /
|
||
Pinky and the Brain' - cartoon maybe - 'One does something / the other
|
||
is insane' ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (and laughing still, delightfully)
|
||
</i>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>...
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And- Pink's warning signs: <i>(can't stop laughing) :-D</i>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Withdrawing socially from colleagues <br/>
|
||
<i>(now-adays they call it a 'social detox')</i>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Neglecting studies and/or work<br/>
|
||
<i>(I was dis-oriented, and eventually went to practice meditation;
|
||
How can a car with no petrol carry on? You think a pill that is
|
||
white in colour, and bitter to the taste, gonna help a car
|
||
to move when it runs out of petrol? Obviously, it is ineffective
|
||
and inadequate - some people do not want to point out
|
||
the elephant in the room, proverbially speaking - but,
|
||
to learn from those whom G!D has brought me to, maybe what doesn't
|
||
help for me might help for others.)
|
||
</i>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>And G!D, who has not a partner that is associated with G!D, is the
|
||
Most Merciful and Compassionate One, All-knowing and All-seeing
|
||
and All-hearing, and indeed He is the Most High, and not unmindful
|
||
of your deeds. Glory be to G!D, and peace be upon those
|
||
whom G!D favours.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div><p>Abraham said, oh- Abraham, whom G!D said of like this: 'He is my friend!' -
|
||
Abraham said, 'as a form of kindness towards me, it should be known that you
|
||
are- it should be known that I am your brother.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>T'was despite the promise that G!D made to Abraham. 'Your descendants
|
||
will be as the stars in the night sky, and the grains of sand on the beach or
|
||
sea-shore - as numerous as all those!' (wow)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
So, one would expect that Abraham would be honoured as a patriach or
|
||
an ancestor or a fore-father. So, why or what could be a reason
|
||
that he says, 'Call me your brother, as a form of kindness towards me'
|
||
(raising or cocking eyebrows)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So? Who has a possible suggestion?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, one out of the many possibilities, including one that is unknown to me,
|
||
is that- what did Jesus Christ say when he ate and drank with sinners
|
||
and prostitutes and the otherwise destitute?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'From now on, you shall call no one on Earth your father. You have
|
||
only one father, and he is in Heaven.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>The practices of certain people come to mind. 'Call me Father,' or something
|
||
like that.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, in any case, back to the starting question: Why would a person
|
||
like Abraham want to be called a brother when he had descendants promised
|
||
to him by the LORD G!D?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Well, isn't it a form of kindness to not be called a title that would
|
||
be taken away from you eventually?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To put it in <strike>closer comparison,</strike>
|
||
alternative order
|
||
so you may perchance see, if you have eyes,
|
||
and you can see - for some have sight, and are blind - let the reader understand -
|
||
<strike>Abraham:</strike>
|
||
Jesus: 'You have only one father.'
|
||
Abraham: 'Call me your brother, as a form of kindness towards me.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, guess what knowledge did the LORD G!D put into Abraham, in a time
|
||
when the Christ supposedly didn't get sent to the world?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Did someone say 'fore-shadow'? Or 'fore-tell'?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Isn't it cruel to have a title that will be stripped away from you
|
||
eventually? Isn't it a form of kindness to have that title voluntarily
|
||
given away? To be kind to one-self, to give away a thing that
|
||
doesn't last, voluntarily, and cheerfully, and happily - isn't that
|
||
a great kindness for oneself and for others?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If you're interested, you could ask around about renunciation,
|
||
or (relatedly) a way of living that is not about worldly gain, but about liberation
|
||
of others and one-self from needless agony? If not for others, than
|
||
for one-self. Why would I want something that doesn't last? Quite
|
||
obviously, this... hm. Well, G!D knows what to do with web-site-
|
||
the LORD G!D knows best what to do with you and me and afore-mentioned
|
||
and web-site and the universe and the sun and the moon (awe-spiring... not
|
||
conspiring. Awe-spiring... awe-inspiringly great and marvellous and
|
||
splendidly wondrous are Your deeds, oh Almighty King of kings, Lord
|
||
of lords, who is Compassionate and Most Merciful, and just and true
|
||
in Your judgment and ways, You who are oft-forgiving, and is
|
||
swift and terrible and severe in punishment, for you love
|
||
justice and detest wickedness, and loves not those who
|
||
delight in wickedness.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div><p>
|
||
To the Compassionate and Most, Most Merciful One,
|
||
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Who?
|
||
The All-knowing, All-hearing and All-knowing one,
|
||
who has no beings attached, even though - or, as
|
||
much as - many attach or give partners to the LORD G!D
|
||
Most High, in a way that misleads many people
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now I give an account of a person who said to me, '
|
||
Do you know you have schizophrenia?'
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And I gladly boast about this label that those
|
||
who are of the world have given to me, for the sake of
|
||
the Son of Man, Christ Jesus, whom we call Teacher
|
||
and Lord, and whom I am not above.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For is it not written in the Scriptures, that have the
|
||
breath of G!D in every word, the following, or something like it?
|
||
"How blessed are you who are labelled as something evil or
|
||
abnormal or even immoral because of Me, when you come in My name,"
|
||
the Son of Man said. "For that was how their ancestors - fathers -
|
||
treated those whom G!D sent to them: prophets, or prophetesses, oracles:
|
||
messengers who are not above the one who sends the message, truly, truly.
|
||
Jump with gladness; leap for joy; punch your hands into the air
|
||
with a heart that thrills
|
||
and swells with happiness; jump on couches, if you want, to borrow
|
||
a highly visible person's
|
||
actions that you may or may not be familiar with; for great is your
|
||
reward in Heaven. Yes, celebrate and rejoice on the day or hour
|
||
that that happens." :-)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So glad.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Exceedingly glad, joyful, hm-hm-hm-hm :-) (smirking maybe)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now, <strike>brothers and sisters</strike>, members of the same family:
|
||
breath of G!D is in every word of Scripture, is it not?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now in which part of Scripture does it say that there were only
|
||
twelve apostles or disciples or students of the Christ? Is it written
|
||
in Scripture that there is a limit on the number of students who study
|
||
what our Father, the LORD G!D, has sent to us: the sound
|
||
instruction of our patient, wise and understanding Lord and Teacher?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>It has come to my attention that people are saying the following about
|
||
our Teacher and Lord -
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Those who have hearing: those who have ears, let them hear -
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>He is possessed by the demon!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>In this society you call 'modern', I have heard mockery and ridicule
|
||
that is pressed against the Christ, whom I am not above. And this is
|
||
what Scripture says:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>'The Son of Man strictly warned his disciples not to tell anybody about
|
||
what the Father has revealed to them. He said, "The Son of Man
|
||
must be mocked, ridiculed, spat upon, flogged, despised, rejected by men,
|
||
put to death, and then he will rise from the dead. The Son of Man
|
||
must go through much suffering."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And this is what Scriptures say: "This calls for patient endurance.
|
||
This calls for wisdom."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Brethren, I write to you from Singapore, in the year that you call -
|
||
if you were to borrow what those who are of the world call a calendar -
|
||
2016 - the year after 2016 - 2017.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Stay near to the Lord, oh brethren of mine. Keep up regular praying,
|
||
and take heed to pray to the Father that you and your mouth
|
||
will be opened to what the Father is giving you.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For the signs that the LORD G!D hath shown me include the following
|
||
words which may or may not be glad tidings to you:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"There will be many who will claim to be the CHrist. Do not believe them.
|
||
For each one, ask a confession of them that the Son of Man
|
||
came in the flesh, and rose from the dead. If they confess such a testimony,
|
||
then they are of the Christ, whom G!D will reveal according to His ways,
|
||
which is above my ways. If they say otherwise, then they are of the
|
||
opposing force(s) to the Christ, which you have heard about - say,
|
||
in what some call the book of Revelations - and which are truly
|
||
in the world. For there will be many false prophets."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>A story has reached my awareness about a man who has followers
|
||
in the Philippines, for they have revered him as the Christ.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now, let yourself not be led into temptation, for does not our Teacher
|
||
himself warn the following: "How sorrowful it is (for you)
|
||
when you are welcomed
|
||
and given kingly treatment because of Me, when you come in My name.
|
||
For that was how their fathers - their ancestors - treated the false prophets:
|
||
people who say "as surely as the LORD lives" but surely they declare falsely.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And I say this to you, who can hear: persevere and treat each other as how
|
||
our exceedingly loving and tender-hearted Teacher and Lord has loved us.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For I write from among people who have unbelief in the works of G!D. They
|
||
put their trust in money and what they call "the system". Oh, the poor, deluded
|
||
fool feeds on ashes! Yet they cannot bring themselves to reflect (or think
|
||
to themselves): "Is this thing that I am holding in my hand a lie?"
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For I count myself a recipient of rebuke from the LORD G!D, who admonishes
|
||
me as a father disciplines his son out of dear love; I have set pearls
|
||
before swine, so to speak (that is to say, in a manner of speaking), swine
|
||
that trample on them, and then turn to attack me. This happened when the LORD
|
||
G!D has sent me warnings or guidance that goes something like this:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"Do not set your pearls before swine, lest they trample on it, and then turn
|
||
to attack you."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>G!D has sent me to a place where the computer that using is surrounded with
|
||
swine.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And I gladly boast about this rebuke from the Ruler of the Universe, as much
|
||
as this makes me a fool. This is to build you up, for we of the Spirit of G!D
|
||
work along-side each other, or, more precisely speaking, walk in each
|
||
other's shoes, along the same path.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Furthermore, I tell you this: What our Teacher said is true:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>"Truly, truly, I tell you, you will say or quote this to my face, or to Me
|
||
otherwise: 'Physician, heal yourself!' No prophet is ever honoured in
|
||
his hometown. Elijah was sent to a widow else-where when there was
|
||
a famine in his hometown, as written in Scriptures."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, I may or may not be the only one, who has the Spirit of G!D, left.
|
||
Who else has the Spirit of G!D? G!D knows, and I do not know.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Yet I tell you this, brethren. The LORD G!D has promised the following, which
|
||
are recorded in your society: "Will I bring a child to a womb, and then not deliver
|
||
it?"
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>FOr it does not matter whether the world passes away or not; I seek everlasting
|
||
life through the Father, Son and the Spirit of G!D, who has no beings attached,
|
||
and who has no begotten son.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>He who has ears (or she, or they), let them hear.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Am I in trouble? Am I in distress? Are you in trouble? Are you in distress?
|
||
Call to the LORD G!D - the Almighty Creator of all, who is Sovereign over
|
||
the Last Day - seek Him with all your heart, and if G!D is willing, you will
|
||
find G!D.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, an account of my life may be in order. I grew up in the area of Singapore
|
||
that is known as Clementi. I attended Jin Tai Primary School from the ages
|
||
of seven to twelve. Nan Hua High School (formerly known as Nan Hua
|
||
Secondary School), from the ages of thirteen to sixteen. National Junior
|
||
College, from the ages of seventeen to eighteen. From the ages
|
||
of nineteen to twenty-one, I was drafted into the Singapore Armed Forces,
|
||
as was made compulsory to a male that holds a Singapore citizenship.
|
||
'Conscription,' they call it. from the ages of twenty-one to the time
|
||
of writing, I attended courses, or otherwise enrolled into, National University
|
||
of Singapore.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For four months I went to a foreign land that was known as Taiwan, for the
|
||
ostensible purpose of an exchange semester at National Taiwan University, which
|
||
at that time was located in the city of Taipei.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Upon my return to Singapore, I was met with suspicions that I was possessed
|
||
by the devil, spiritually abused, and in a rather blatant outrage of human dignity,
|
||
surrounded by men when I was alone, and weak of body, and disoriented,
|
||
and sent into (what is known as) Institute of Mental Health
|
||
(formerly known as Woodbridge), where I was mercilessly kept
|
||
in a ward that I could not leave. This happened after I confessed that I followed
|
||
the teachings or sound instruction of our Teacher and Lord, Christ Jesus.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>How-ever, G!D has seen it that in His compassionate and
|
||
Most Merciful and mighty ways, which are above my ways,
|
||
the same diagnosis of schizophrenia that gave people the chance to think they
|
||
can ill-treat me or otherwise rob me of my free movement, physically speaking,
|
||
at least, was a ticket to dis-charge from the Singapore Armed Forces.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I will not tell you what miltary people have told me; suffice to say G!D
|
||
has relieved me of a heavy yoke. And I say this boldly because I put my trust
|
||
in the LORD G!D, and not in men, or women, or captains, or sergeants, or
|
||
presidents, or misters, or missus, or colonels (what-have-you), or brigadier-generals.
|
||
Whoever is harbouring an intent to persecute me, give me what you have.
|
||
For the LORD G!D is the best at planning. Who among you can tell what will
|
||
happen tomorrow? Would you argue a case with the All-knowing, All-hearing
|
||
and All-seeing One who created the heavens and all the earths, and you
|
||
and your very selves? Yes, devise a careful plan, gather your
|
||
psychiatrists and psychologists and your advisers and what-have-you -
|
||
personal assistants that help you draft your public speeches maybe -
|
||
and give me what you have. The best you have, come at me. I have made
|
||
my mailing address public, together with my e-mail address. For I fear G!D
|
||
greatly, and with the wisdom that comes from fearing G!D, make the following observations:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p><ul>
|
||
<li>I know nothing other than what G!D lets me know. This is a fulfillment of what
|
||
our Lord has said: "Every tree that my Father in Heaven did not plant will be torn
|
||
out from the roots." For this reason, even though computer science concepts were
|
||
'taught' to me, for that was my subject matter (or area of study) at university, I have abandoned
|
||
interest in all of those, for the sake of answering the upward call of G!D
|
||
through Christ Jesus.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>I happily leave this matter in the capable and loving hands of the blessed Father in Heaven,
|
||
whose name is hallowed. Draconian 'laws'? Abuse of human rights? G!D will do to
|
||
me and to you what G!D sees fit to do. A promise that the LORD G!D made comes to mind,
|
||
a promise that the LORD fulfils from long ago: 'All those who devour you
|
||
shall be devoured". Further, "Those who scoff at you will be scoffed at."
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Victory is ours, brethren, overwhelmingly so. Never let yourself think otherwise.
|
||
For the losers are those who reject faith, or deny truth. And on the
|
||
matters that you dispute on, the LORD G!D will reveal the truth to you
|
||
on the Last Day, or in His ways and will, which are higher than mine.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I happily write, o siblings. Excited and filled with gladness, I am. Encourage
|
||
one another, please, or do the work that G!D has put in you to do. And this absolutely
|
||
counts as a warning to those who are lazy.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Now to the blessed Father be glory - to G!D be the glory for-ever and ever. Amen.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I pray for more workers to be sent, O kin in the same family as I. For the harvest
|
||
is plenty, but the workers are few. So pray for more workers to be sent. The Teacher's words,
|
||
not mine. And yet does the Teacher himself not say that the student, who is not
|
||
above the teacher, but who is training fully, will be like the teacher? Through the name
|
||
of the Christ, whom G!D will reveal to whom-ever G!D chooses to reveal - I make this prayer,
|
||
Father who is blessed indeed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>:-)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>May the grace and peace and joy of being in fellowship with our Lord and Teacher,
|
||
Christ Jesus, and the love of G!D, and the fellowship of those who are of the
|
||
Spirit of G!D - who has no beings attached, as a reminder - be with you.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I am afraid that divisions among you will cause unnecessary trouble.
|
||
Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Gentiles (or outsiders), or people who identify
|
||
with 'New Age',
|
||
or Muslims, those who study the Tao Te Ching, or Zhuangzi (or Zhuang-zhou) -
|
||
the list goes on - is it not written in the Scriptures or what some
|
||
call the Bible the following?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>There is no division. There is no Jew or Gentile, no male or female,
|
||
no artist or programmer - all are one through Christ Jesus.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>G!D will reveal it to those whom G!D chooses to reveal it to, regarding
|
||
what I am saying. I leave it to G!D to decide on this matter. Those
|
||
who can hear, let them hear.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To G!D, the Most Merciful and Compassionate One be glory for-ever and ever.
|
||
Why, is not the first and greatest and fore-most commandment to love G!D
|
||
with all of what-e'er? All of me, all of you? O, they love idols as much
|
||
as they should love G!D; and they have led many astray. And G!D has no beings
|
||
attached, to remind you again.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So the saying is true, as written in Scriptures: 'The dog returns to its vomit'.
|
||
And swine, after washing in water, roll in the mud. As surely
|
||
as the LORD - the Holy One of Israel - lives, I have witnessed this.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If it helps you, brethren, the Quran is said to confirm the gospel
|
||
and revelations. And it is as a purifier for your mind.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>And let not their blatant incense-burning and kow-tows in front of carven
|
||
images deceive you into thinking that what they do is right in the eyes
|
||
of G!D, who says "Thou shalt not take for worship any before the LORD G!D,
|
||
who has no beings attached."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>G!D will do to stubborn idol-worshippers what G!D will do. And indeed human
|
||
effort is nothing, so happily I finish this writing with praise to G!D for
|
||
His lovingkindness: wonders, signs and terrors: remembering. Thank You for
|
||
milk, Papa (Father). G!D is good!

<p>It will be as in the days of the generation

of Noah. People marrying and giving in marriage,

about flood that came upon them until it came,

and Noah and those whom G!D had commanded Noah

G!D told him. That is to say, he did not

destruction was complete, Noah asked G!D

for permission to dis-embark from where

G!D had spared him from destruction. (maybe

</p>
|
||
<p>What coming to mind is: Jesus. The disciples
|
||
began arguing among themselves about who
|
||
among them was the greatest in the kingdom
|
||
of Heaven. Taking a little one to Jesus,
|
||
Jesus said, 'Truly, truly, I tell you,
|
||
those who humble yourself as this little one
|
||
is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.'
|
||
(among numerous other examples, of little
|
||
ones being a model to Man, that Jesus gave).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>You ever saw a little one - say, one year
|
||
of age, in your so-called modern measures
|
||
of time - suit up in tie and tuxedo, and
|
||
wait tables? Or pump petrol for others
|
||
at a gas station? Who feeds a one-year-old?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>You wanna be greatest in kingdom of Heaven?
|
||
How about you learn from a one-year-old about
|
||
trust in a world that feeds you, and clothes
|
||
you unconditionally, among other things
|
||
that a one-year-old can teach you, if you choose
|
||
to humble yourself?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>To emphasise on what Jesus - who is Teacher
|
||
and Lord, as it should be - said, verse from Bible:
|
||
And he said to them:
|
||
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and
|
||
become like little children, you will never
|
||
enter the kingdom of Heaven."
|
||
<a href="http://biblehub.com/matthew/18-3.htm">
|
||
(Gospel of Matthew, chapter eighteen, verse three.
|
||
http://biblehub.com/matthew/18-3.htm)
|
||
</a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, back to the beginning. What does it mean
|
||
to you to say the following:
|
||
'Thou art my shepherd; I shall not want"
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>On a some-what related note, G!D
|
||
has given me a chance to attend a lesson
|
||
or example of what some call homoletics.
|
||
'Big' word? Or complicated word?
|
||
How about this: how to communicate
|
||
more effectively?
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So one of the ideas during that demonstration
|
||
or lesson that came up in mind was the
|
||
art of repetition, which interestingly
|
||
enough, is a rather prominent feature
|
||
in classical music, or music from the
|
||
period of your development that some
|
||
have called 'the Classical period'.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Maybe those who are familar with a certain
|
||
type of computers know it as 'copy-and-paste'.
|
||
So, the art of repetition (a concept that
|
||
G!D has introduced me to in a music course,
|
||
which is, of course, from the-LORD-who-will-provide)-
|
||
the art of repetition is how you 'copy-and-paste',
|
||
not just what you 'copy-and-paste'.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, parable of sower and seeds, coming to mind
|
||
again.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Hm. To sum up,
|
||
<ul><li>
|
||
humble yourself as a little one.
|
||
If you do not, no kingdom of Heav'n.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>you say 'Thou art my shepherd.
|
||
I shall not want'. What does that mean to you?
|
||
Are you even giving yourself a chance
|
||
to be shepherd-ed - clothed and fed unconditionally?
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, having examples- but, demonstration
|
||
of homoletics included a clear warning to not
|
||
introduce to you - or the audience, or the
|
||
people you are preaching to - any new content
|
||
or points, (where) in the conclusion, or where
|
||
you have told your audience where you will end.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>My time is short, how-ever. G!D will take
|
||
my life - or what people of the world think
|
||
of as life, to be more accurately speaking -
|
||
according to His will, which is above my will.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Sufficient for you, it is becoming clear,
|
||
that there are highly visible persons among
|
||
your urban (that isn't exactly pastoral)
|
||
societies who have attempted- not suicide-
|
||
mendiciary. (begging. taking alms.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, to repeat, if you don't give a higher power
|
||
- or, a higher being who causes rain or water to fall from
|
||
the sky so that your thirst may be satisfied -
|
||
(oh, thank You for the rain, oh, Papa (Father)
|
||
who is Ruler of the Universe, whose name
|
||
is hallowed. Why, G!D, Your people have
|
||
created imitations of the sound of rain-drops
|
||
falling on surfaces, so that they may be
|
||
soothed or otherwise comforted, or find
|
||
a common humanity)-
|
||
to repeat, if you do not give a higher power
|
||
a chance to feed you un-conditionally, what is it
|
||
to you to spend time with words that have
|
||
the breath of G!D in them? What is it to you to
|
||
say or see the following: 'Thou art my shepherd;
|
||
I shall not want.'
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div><p>
|
||
|
||
to have the no small honour to obey the guidance
|
||
that <a href="http://biblehub.com/isaiah/41-14.htm">
|
||
the mighty helper of worm Jacob and little Israel
|
||
</a>
|
||
has given me (even me), offering
|
||
<a href="https://tinyletter.com/now-to-Jehovah-be-the-glory-for-ever-and-ever-amen">
|
||
a service</a>
|
||
that is
|
||
in obedience to the following verse: <br/>
|
||
<a href="http://biblehub.com/psalms/81-3.htm">
|
||
Blow the ram's horn at new moon, and again
|
||
at full moon to call a festival! (Psalm 81:3)
|
||
</a>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
G!D knows, and I do not know what will happen. :-)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Nevertheless, a verse from Scripture, every word
|
||
of which has the breath of G!D in them, seems fitting:
|
||
<br/> <a
|
||
href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter+5&version=KJV">
|
||
Be alert and of sober mind.
|
||
Your enemy, the devil, prowls around
|
||
like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour
|
||
(1 Peter 5:8)

<div><p>
|
||
May the love of G!D -
|
||
<a href="http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/nora/html/2-135.html">
|
||
who instructs me to say
|
||
to those who ask if I want to convert to their
|
||
religion
|
||
(or otherwise turn to, or enter into their practices)
|
||
the following: 'Nay, I would rather the religion

of the True Abraham, and worship the Almighty One,

who created the sky above and the earth below and

everything in the Universe, and who judges
|

over the Last Day

- be with my enemies, for G!D is the Compassionate

oft-returning and oft-forgiving.

It is the 106th year since G!D helped
|
||
a foolish fool who spoke up for worthless
|
||
idols - carven images that cannot save
|
||
his soul, nor help him restore his saltiness,
|
||
if he were salt that had lost his saltiness -
|
||
and it is the twelth month since G!D
|
||
chased the mischief-makers - those who
|
||
delight in wickedness, and say, 'We
|
||
are peace-makers', when it is they
|
||
who are surely the mischief-makers
|
||
or those who delight in mischief or
|
||
wickedness - away from before a subject
|
||
of mockery, and ridicule, and torture,
|
||
and torment, and severe programming,
|
||
of mind, that damages psyche. (not the
|
||
mythological Psyche, daughter of
|
||
Eros and G!D-knows-who-and-I-do-not-know).
|
||
And it is the thirteenth day of a month
|
||
that has an unknown day.</p>

</a></p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Who are the people you admire and what values or traits do they have that you want to take on?
|
||
你欣赏的人是谁？他们有什么你想要采取的原则或特征？
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Mike Cernovich for saying he wants to inspire people,
|
||
being an online badass, being bold, and producing content
|
||
that intrigues people, to me, at least. Striving
|
||
for what he's worth. Also, giving people strength
|
||
and giving females strength. He taught confidence with guns[,]
|
||
to his fiance.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Afrojack for giving people hope because to me his songs create a positive mentality
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Paul van Dyk for giving people happiness because to me his songs or sounds have a very strong connection with people's emotions
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Steve Aoki for letting females guest-appear because it's manly.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>So, it's your turn. What about you?
|
||
Who do you admire, and what are traits
|
||
in them that you want to nurture
|
||
in yourself? If you're interested,
|
||
a related concept is self-differentiation.
|
||
And the context is - well, huh, a
|
||
somewhat obscure, or maybe not, topic -
|
||
of 'ego enmeshment' (you can check it up
|
||
on the Internet, or [with]
|
||
a family therapist,
|
||
maybe) - or on a brazenly spiritual
|
||
note, renunciation, or liberation
|
||
from suffering, which may or may not
|
||
involve doing some voluntary (and
|
||
definitely painful) separation of
|
||
self from others. A
|
||
<strike>popular</strike>
|
||
song-singer (Or song-writer)
|
||
goes: 'I've just
|
||
gotta
|
||
find who I am /
|
||
and who I'm not /
|
||
I won't give up on us /
|
||
who I am /
|
||
what I am /
|
||
who I'm not /
|
||
what I'm not /
|
||
I won't give up on us'
|
||
or something like that.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>What? Ya, uh, so
|
||
took some time, thought
|
||
I've lost myself,
|
||
but seems kinda,
|
||
that was ne'er me in the first place /
|
||
never was me /
|
||
what I thought was me /
|
||
was never me /
|
||
So, bombastic, big words /
|
||
family therapy /
|
||
for me /
|
||
may just help me /
|
||
put words that seem /
|
||
small but can be big /
|
||
and mighty with the /
|
||
help of G!D /
|
||
All I'm sayin' is /
|
||
If you're thinkin' you're crazy /
|
||
you're probably going somewhere /
|
||
hey, I'm happy /
|
||
And it feels great to shout it out /
|
||
even though G!D may be the only one /
|
||
who hears me / I'm still happy /
|
||
G!D, I love You, O LORD,
|
||
King of the Universe /
|
||
Hey, hey, hey, hey /
|
||
praise and glory and kingdom /
|
||
and power are yours, O /
|
||
blessed Father who is in /
|
||
Heaven /
|
||

What? What are you looking at?
|
||
Can't you see tis about you?
|
||
(Can't you see that it is about you?)
|
||
Supposedly one of the quotes that G!D has
|
||
brought me before,
|
||
from a Mister Homeless Kodo. Mister
|
||
Suzuki. (
|
||
|
||
whom G!D has also
|
||
shown me to have human foibles,
|
||
especially in it: (what)
|
||
faith in
|
||
the one whom G!D has sent,
|
||
and trust in a higher Mind.
|
||
But who am I to comment?
|
||
'For we are indeed not perfect.
|
||
If we were perfect, we would be a perfect
|
||
man, able to control every part
|
||
of our body, or every organ - for example,
|
||
anus (or
|
||
burps or farts
|
||
or thoughts or itches) - at will. So, not many of you,
|
||
brethren, should become teachers,
|
||
for we are indeed judged more
|
||
strictly, or stringently, than
|
||
others.' (from Scriptures).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
So, something G!D gave me, now giving
|
||
as freely as it was received.
|
||
So in certain village,
|
||
people live and glory themselves
|
||
in their shameful nakedness. And
|
||
they do not know it, so they are disgraced.
|
||
(like the well-known story of
|
||
the emperor with no clothes, but another
|
||
story that is, for another time.)
|
||
(and indeed I am nothing at all.)
|
||
So, G!D has mercifully and compassionately
|
||
brought me before a set of questions
|
||
to hold hands, if you will, of those
|
||
who chase money or riches of the world.
|
||
They are as follows:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strike>First</strike>'C': what is the centre
|
||
of my life? ('You must have an
|
||
un-shake-able centre,' said the
|
||
one whom G!D had brought me to.)</li>
|
||
<li><strike>Second</strike> 'C':
|
||
What is the character of my life?
|
||
(memory is a little foggy. shomething
|
||
about shape. Mnemonics (that is, memory
|
||
device. To make memorisation
|
||
easier.) S-H-A-P-E.
|
||
<ul><li>
|
||
'S". Support maybe?</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
'H'. Happiness? What makes me happy?
|
||
Or what makes me feel good?
|
||
Good feels that come without
|
||
drugs that cost money?
|
||
(A certain Mister Robbins
|
||
talked about this in a book.
|
||
'Making love with my wife, that
|
||
makes me feel good,' he said. '
|
||
Exercise on [some equipment
|
||
|
||
something something].')
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
'A'.
|
||
|
||
Attractive? Which part of me
|
||
or my life do I find really
|
||
attractive? G!D
|
||
brought me to an exercise
|
||
that a person required
|
||
for homework during
|
||
university years. 'Ask
|
||
your friends, or people
|
||
whom
|
||
you've worked with,
|
||
for your
|
||
RBS. (what's RBS) [Something]
|
||
Best Self. Ask them
|
||
when they saw you at your best.
|
||
Co-workers. People you've
|
||
lost touch with.
|
||
People whom you maybe
|
||
did some research with,
|
||
or did a project with. (and
|
||
then separated or dis-banded
|
||
after that.)
|
||
In my case,
|
||
that was homework, and it felt
|
||
awkward to ask. But am I glad I
|
||
did that. (in
|
||
hind-sight). Others viewed me
|
||
in a positive light, because
|
||
the question was about
|
||
my best possible self. And that was
|
||
pleasantly surprising. It helped me
|
||
feel esteemed in away I did not know
|
||
I could feel esteemed. It's kinda healthy,
|
||
not bragging pridefully, more accepting,
|
||
if you will, what you've got in this
|
||
brief life? (['cos] Baby you're a fire-work /
|
||
Come on, let your colours burst /
|
||
Let them go high, hi, high /
|
||
(make them go: 'ah, ah, ah')
|
||
As you shoot across the sky - aye,
|
||
aye' (G!D brought me to a little
|
||
one who sang something like that.)
|
||
So that's 's', 'h', and 'a'.
|
||
'p' and 'e' are left. Wow.
|
||
What an exercise for memory.</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
'P'. Personality maybe? Or
|
||
your points of pain? You know,
|
||
loneliness could be a point of pain.
|
||
And, uh,
|
||
If you talk about it, you don't
|
||
have to, but if you wanna, maybe,
|
||
just maybe, you'll find some
|
||
solace. You could put in a diary
|
||
maybe. Or you could really-
|
||
it's gonna sound icky or
|
||
off-putting, at first, at least,
|
||
but you could try... talking to a
|
||
counsellor. A professional one.
|
||
I talked to a counsellor myself.
|
||
And it helped that it was non-judgmental.
|
||
(G!D gave me a quote in my life:
|
||
'People are so in lack - or
|
||
maybe not in lack, but simply
|
||
forgotten - on the skill of
|
||
listening. That's why
|
||
you have people <strike>now</strike> who are
|
||
getting paid to listen. Life
|
||
coaches. Counsellors. Whatever
|
||
you call them. So,
|
||
stigma aside, you definitely
|
||
deserve - it won't be apparent,
|
||
at first - you have every right
|
||
to be attended to, or listened
|
||
to, without any judgment coming
|
||
into what you are trying to say.
|
||
So, those people you hang out
|
||
with over a beer might not be
|
||
the best at helping to talk
|
||
about whatever you wanna talk
|
||
about. Yeah. You do not
|
||
realise it know, but you definitely
|
||
deserve attention or care that does not
|
||
feel like [eating]
|
||
a rotten sandwich. Or,
|
||
you deserve to be away from
|
||
people, whoops, any-body
|
||
or any voice in your head that
|
||
tells you you deserve only
|
||
to eat a rotten sandwich. But of
|
||
course, you won't realise it now;
|
||
but you will realise or understand
|
||
after-ward.
|
||
So, that's 'P'.</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
And 'E'. (laughing). (huh).
|
||
You know, it is written in Scriptures,
|
||
'Sarah said, "G!D has made me
|
||
laugh - G!D made me laugh - so
|
||
that those who can hear will laugh
|
||
with me."'
|
||
So, 'E' is for 'experience[s]'.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
So that's 'SHAPE'. S-H-A-P-E.
|
||
So, what came to mind, was
|
||
how those who are labelled
|
||
with mental illnesses may not
|
||
be experts in knowledge (or
|
||
so-called knowledge) of so-called
|
||
mental illnesses. As much as that
|
||
may be so, they are experts on
|
||
their experiences. Experts by experience,
|
||
they are. Just like how you
|
||
can get a Master's degree by research
|
||
or thesis or what- uh, what-ever.)
|
||
So, ask yourself: where are the subjective experts on
|
||
their experiences? Are you an expert on
|
||
your experience of life or G!D or god?
|
||
So, what are they, those whom you call
|
||
'patients' or 'un-well', if you
|
||
are an expert on your experience
|
||
of life or your limits or your
|
||
god? Are they any less or any more
|
||
an expert on your experience of life,
|
||
than you are an expert on theirs? So,
|
||
how come you are the expert
|
||
[on their life], and not them?
|
||
'You hypocrite. You say to your brother,
|
||
"take the pin out of your eye. Here, let me
|
||
help you." Take the log out of your
|
||
own eye first, then you can see clearly
|
||
to help your brother.' That's what Jesus said.
|
||
It's in Scriptures. And hate me. Why?
|
||
Because Jesus was hated, too. And I'm
|
||
honoured to be in his company. Or the
|
||
company of those whom G!D sends, for
|
||
they are ridiculed by those of the world,
|
||
since the times of the fathers of those
|
||
who ridicule the messengers of G!D. This is in
|
||
Scriptures. Send me everything you got,
|
||
in your hatred or hate, because G!D is
|
||
the best at planning. And if you wait,
|
||
I, too, will wait. And my fear is
|
||
fear of G!D. Not fear of
|
||
seeming foolish or incompetent, although
|
||
that got to me, too, while chasing
|
||
after yardsticks, what-ever - which I realise,
|
||
that as long as G!D loves me, I need no
|
||
benchmark or yardstick to measure myself
|
||
against, other than my obedience to G!D.
|
||
And how do you measure that? So, any-way.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
Back to the 'C', huh. 'Centre of my life'.
|
||
'Character of my life'. Then, another 'C'.
|
||
'Community'. Who are my people?
|
||
A quote goes like this - for G!D has
|
||

'She can breathe life into the tiniest

life will never be the same. Or, you can

take the blue pill, and pretend all

|

Go, go on, no one (oh, G!D just humbled me -

a reminder that human effort counts for

nothing. And what Scriptures

9Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

Your Almighty G!D and my Almighty G!D are the same G!D. He created Heaven and Earth and the Universe and everything in it. He is G!D of Abraham, and G!D of the prophets. <br/>
|
||
|
||
Compassionate and Merciful in the Most - G!D who is slow to anger, and oft-forgiving, Whom thou shalt not put to the test (as Scripture says). <br/>
|
||
|
||
In my folly I have prostituted myself to something that cannot help me at all. Detestably, I have taken a toilet-bowl (or a water-closet) - you know, a pipe that you poop in -
|
||
as a god. I have feared the wrath of a god of a toilet bowl, and attempted to please that god. Over a period of time, those attempts included: knelt in front of a toilet-bowl; bit a toilet-bowl. <br/>
|
||
|
||
'Save me,' I desperately cried to a toilet-bowl. <br/>
|
||
|
||
'The poor, deluded fool feeds on ashes. He trusts in something that cannot help him at all! Yet he cannot bring himself to reflect or think to himself: "Is this thing, that I am holding in my hand, a lie?" (Isaiah 44:20) <br/>

||
|
||
And yet, G!D has enabled me to write this, and I thank the Almighty Lord of lords, and King of kings; praise G!D, I do, for He has shown loving-kindness, and mercy that is in the Most High.
|
||
|
||
To G!D be the glory. <br/>
|

It took time. And terrors, admonishments (out of dear love), and signs and wonders, G!D has convinced me that He has paid a price to redeem a prostitute like myself. <br/>

So, testify, as a witness of G!D, I shall.

Drugs - things: bitter in taste, white in colour, and smaller than a finger-nail in size. Those whom I turned to - shepherds, of renown in the land -
|
||
charged me money for those things, and kept me in a pen that I could not leave from, even if I asked nicely. <br />
|
||
|
||
'This thing gives me uneasiness. I wake up in the middle of the night to walk; I feel compelled. And it gives me convulsions in my hands sometimes.'
|
||
|
||
This I told them. <br/>
|
||
|
||
And they said, 'Here's another thing. Eat it. It controls the uneasiness of the thing that you talked about.' <br/>
|
||
|
||
'But,' they continued, 'It does things to you, even though it controls the thing that you talked about.' <br />
|
||
|
||
I did not know what they talked about. This thing, that thing. <br />
|
||
|
||
The shepherds - some of them, at least - intimidated me. 'If you do not do as we say,' they hinted, in a way that was not very nice, 'you will keep staying in this pen. You will not be let out.'
|
||
<br />
|
||
So, ate both things, I tremulously did. Indeed, I was afraid of consequences that men promised unto me, instead of fearing the Almighty One.
|
||
|
||
I wanted to get out of that pen. And so, I dis-obeyed not, but co-operated, although I have voiced my defiance to their ways a few times. <br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
'Finish your food,' they said. And I was afraid. So I ate, although I had been feeling very full at that point.
|
||
<br />
|
||
(Later they would give me a recipe for 'sayur lodeh', when I asked them how to make a certain mixture that I had eaten.)
|
||
|
||
<br/>
|
||
'Drink water with your "medicine",' they said. And I was fed up. 'No,' I said. 'I am going to eat "medicine" without water. See, it enters my body just fine.' <br />
|
||
|
||
And they said, in a way that was not very nice, 'Drink water with the "medicine", or else.' <br />
|
||
|
||
I walked away, but I was anxious to get out of that pen, and keen to appear co-operative. (And they had others to talk to.) So, I returned to them, but they said, 'Don't worry. We've recorded that you were obedient enough. That is, that you have eaten "medicine".'
|
||
<br />
|
||
Anyhow, this story is becoming godless.

Long story short, they left me. they care nothing for me. <br />

All your lovers have forgotten you;

Alas! That day is so great

<br />

'For I am with you to save you,'

'I will make a full end of all the nations

I will discipline you in just measure,

'Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,

Indeed, as it is written in the Bible, G!D exalts those who humble themselves before Him, and humbles those who exalt themselves before Him.
|

<br />
|
||
Why?
|
||
<br /> For it is written in the Bible: '
|
||
Now you are slaves
|

of other nations,
|
||
but I will break the chains
|

and smash the yokes
|
||
that keep you in slavery.
|
||
Then you will be my servants,
|
||
and I will choose a king for you
|

from the family of David.'

(Jeremiah 30:8-9, CEV)
|

<br />
|
||
Almighty One, great are your deeds! Fabulous, marvellous!

Why?

For is it not written in the Bible: 'Your hearts will swell with joy - even your heart of hearts - and you will be as calves let out to pasture.'

<br />

So remind me, G!D, to fear You, and to humble myself before You, and to let Your will be done, not mine.

With the help of the LORD G!D, who is Most Merciful, I've contributed to the following projects:

|
||
<li><a href="https://github.com/gogits/gogs">Gogs</a>. G!D forbid that I glory in myself, save only in the cross of Christ Jesus. And yet, if G!D is willing, you may find my commits <a href="https://github.com/gogits/gogs/commits/master?author=phtan">there</a>.</li>

To you who think you have 'mental illness', and are trying to 'control' that with abominations that are man-made, the Bible has a
|
||
verse, oh the G!D-breathed Word that is suitable for rebuking and disciplining so that you are wise for salvation through
|
||
the Christ: 'A house divided cannot stand'
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
On people who are involved with the death penalty: executioner, legal procedure people. The Bible has said, 'Put away your swords,
|
||
For those who live by the sword will die by the sword.' <br/> And that is supposedly a gift from the Lord Christ Jesus. 'Those who have
|
||
Ears, let them hear,’goes another part of the Bible.

Now when Jesus was asked
|
||
'Are you Son of G!d'
|
||
Jesus said
|
||
'It is as you say. Furthermore, I tell you now that I am resurrecting in three days after my death,
|
||
by the power given me by my Father in Heaven'
|
||
'Blasphemy,' they said, sending Jesus to crucifixion
|
||
(Thy will be done on Heaven, and thy will be done on earth as on Heaven. O blessed are you, Father in Heaven, King of the Universe, Ruler of Heaven. Hallowed be thy name.)
|
||
Apostle Paul said,
|
||
'My execution of Christians was before the Lord Christ Jesus appeared to me, saying, 'Why are you killing me?'
|
||
Now, conscience of mine, it is clear before G!d and man.'
|
||
It is written in the Bible, 'Christ- the Christ lives in me.'
|
||
And it written in the Bible. What? Paul was preaching to people who heard him, but they began leaving
|
||
After hearing him say. What?
|
||
You hear always but do not understand

|

Routine that is awkward and painful is no longer music to my ears /
|
||
Often, people don't always take care of themselves /
|
||
Why don't they love themselves /
|
||
Birds came in, red /
|
||
and purple too /
|
||
That's what they turned my skin into /
|
||
Ain't that a sharp pain there /
|
||
Oh, why do they hurt me so /
|
||
My kiss to them /
|
||
Lets my blood out /
|
||
They continue chirping /
|
||
Perhaps this is the time /
|
||
to say it's- /
|
||
o /
|
||
it's not okay /
|
||
why do my tears flow /
|
||
oh, joy /
|
||
ow /
|
||
it's time to die, the birds say /
|
||
death-songs come softly /
|
||
please forgive them, Heavenly Compassionate Father /
|
||
Boom
