[ch. 9]
...He who honours the Son, who is the Word and Reason, acts in nowise contrary to reason, and gains for himself great good; he who honours Him, who is the Truth, becomes better by honouring truth: and this we may say of honouring wisdom, righteousness, and all the other names by which the sacred Scriptures are wont to designate the Son of God.
~ Origen (c. 184-c. 253), Contra Celsus, Book VIII

NEW FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE

People who want to pool everyone's lives, wealth, and resources into one fund, which fund THEY then will decide how it will be allocated, and equitably distributed. And yet how will they decide? How do they determine what is for the best for all concerned? DO they care about QUALITY of life? What do they think quality of life to be?

------------

Do not assume the "devil" is only with the Left or the Right. He is with both, the only difference of one of degree and if people are not more careful, this (in a given instance) lop-sided proportionality can change dramatically and shift from one side to the other.

------------

I have reached a point where I don't say (hard core) criminal spirit people are evil. What I say now is Evil by its very nature is criminal spirit people, and that which follows from their doings, schemes, and activities.

------------

So called "demonic possession," which subject although frequently mentioned in the gospels few Christians do or can address intelligently, I have written about in my New Treatise, Somers Mutiny article, and at various times over the years at this website. The question then once again being asked: How (in my opinion) would I cast out so called demons (or sprites)? Take and expose the person closely to or something like the violent metallic vibrations of a jack hammer. There are other ways, but this I think is among the most effective, certainly and at least as a short term solution.

------------

Consciously or unconsciously (i.e., out of irrationality) a hypocrite, he thinks himself independent but is and necessarily needs be licensed by the party.

------------

I said it before, I will say it again: If these people had the value that they claim or imply, they would not need to force themselves on others.

------------

When one makes friends or common cause with criminal spirit people (say, for what they see as their own self-protection), they are by necessary implication agreeing to human and animal sacrifice of some kind.

------------

A soldier would not be scared or frightened. And those who have the power not to be frightened or intimidated should never trust ANY spirit person over honest, just and right reasoning.

------------

Are they calculating? Yes, they are calculating.

------------

When or if the church can't or won't help you, help the church.

OPERATION HAPPINESS, or In pursuance of our common and general cause

Within the past year I downloaded two unique and special films from YouTube but which at present are no longer available there. As a sort of favor then to such who might be interested, I have created a temporary downloads of these in .mp4 (zipped), and which I will leave up for about a week and then take down.

The films in question are "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1939) with Louis Hayward and directed by the inimitable James Whale, and "Stop Press Girl" (1949) with Sally Ann Howes.

Both movies could stand some signal improvement over all, and have undeniable and obvious flaws. But this said and otherwise they shine or dazzle in their parts. In the case of "Mask" that would be, of course, Whale's direction, sumptuous staging, and Louis Hayward in the dual roles of Louis and Philipe Bourbon. In fact Hayward is SO good, that I actually think if you watch him in this film it will take ten years off your age; his energy and dash are so constant and infectious. As for "Stop Press Girl," the running joke gets old very quickly, however Sally Ann Howes herself has occasions to be unusually funny, and which saves the picture.

Note. An unknown "someone" has seen fit to remove some four posts to YouTube music links I put up here recently. I mention this only to let it be known it wasn't me. As a matter of record, three of the links were [from latest to oldest]:
