World of broken glass

As I wait for my youngest daughter to fall asleep – me taking my usual position, kneeling by her bedside – I listen to the sounds she makes. It’s like she’s playing with the sounds she makes, the shrieks, the laughs, her gushes. And I wait until they stop, until she’s finally asleep. Oh, it […]

I do mean “afraid!”

The end of the thing – everything has been heard – Fear the Deity and observe his commandments, for this is all that the human is. Qoheleth [Eccl.] 12:13 The Jewish Bible admonishes the reader, numerous times, to “fear” God. And when I was growing up, I would tend to hear people move away from […]

Sweet nonsense

As someone who could call himself a musician (with others agreeing), as one who has written songs and who loves a reasonably wide range of music, I’m fairly acquainted with how the beauty of music can sugarcoat rank bullshit. Because of the moralist that runs around in my head, a seeming intrinsic part of me, […]

Bridges burnt

The last of the personal links I had to the noahides was apparently destroyed recently. It appears that the views I have of rabbi Weiner and my opposition to what the Divine Code does to the seven commandments, in that it adds to the commands and conflates what is commanded with what may or may […]

I remember being alone …

I remember being alone in my room while I was at university. I had left my home and hometown far behind. Still a christian, I had no church of a similar denomination nearby. There was no TV in my room, just a computer. It came time for what I thought was “sabbath,” and I knew […]

Ponderings on the cycle of history and gravity

I was thinking about some things. I wanted to record those thoughts, to place a landmark on my life’s journey, in case I wish to rethink. I’ll do the lesser first. Einstein is said to speculated about what gravity is. He must have accepted the existence of something called “gravity” but he came up with […]

ADBC: 48 – The Darkness after Life, The Quest for Misery, and Honouring One’s Parents

Blog convo with my bro. Premise here. In my brother’s last installment, he gave some fascinating insight into the various methods of teaching, their effectiveness and the pros and cons of each. What makes this substantial is that is not a discussion on theory but of his own personal experience. He brings forth a statement […]

ADBC: 45 – The knowledge of God, Reason and State-Slavery

Blog convo with my bro. Premise here. My brother’s last response was a mix of blunt honesty and introspective, two things I love. When he confronted my question about doubts surrounding vote countings, he looked it straight in the eye and asks if it really even matters. And he gave good reason to hold that […]

ADBC: 44 – The Dominators, The Endless Strife, and The Display of Demony

Blog convo with my brother from the same mother (and father). Premise here. The past installment from my brother was a pleasing read throughout. I found the brief insight into his relationship between bodily health and inner attitudes, his situational psychological state, to be very interesting. It shows you don’t have to say much to […]
