POPE: Profound Serenity and Humility

POPE ABDICATES IN ORDER TO MARRY HIS LONGTIME LOVE

Okay, I'm kidding. But wouldn't it be weird if we find out next week that this is the real reason the Pope is abdicating the throne? He is the first Pope in six centuries to abdicate. Or could this be part of the antichrist's plot? Am I being sacriligeous? I think he wants to settle down and marry his long time secretary.

God Bless Pope Benedict. I feel a strange love for him now, as I see he is merely human and broken. I actually admire his humility. I love his words, "I have a profound serenity in my soul."

Life is so magnificent. There is so much beauty everywhere, which to me is evidence of Good. The Great Goodness is the real picture.

The greatest beauty of all time though, is Mother Theresa. She took a vow of poverty and had absolutely no possessions except the clothes she wore. And yet she was the most generous and famous woman in the world.

What do you honestly think of the Catholic Church?  Does anyone find it odd that Christ Jesus said "Call no man "Father" upon the earth" and instructs us not to worship kings on thrones or gold and "love of money," yet the very church that bears his name is the most idolatrous and materialistic?  And I cannot believe anyone thinks it's okay to bow and kiss a ring on a "Pope-King's" hand.

Is this what Christ taught? All this pomp and circumstance, greed and hidden treasures, and it's strange crimes. A priest should be among the poor, and in the villages with the "common man." And Women. Women must be allowed to become priests. Too much focus on the flesh and gender and human qualities of sexuality, when Christ's Kingdom was not of this realm. He ONLY CARED ABOUT ONE THING: HOW YOU TREATED YOUR FELLOW MAN. Human kindness. Love one another, was The Great Peacemaker's one commandment. "And do not throw stones."

How can this Church persist? Because Catholics as a whole are wonderful people. And nuns are true servants of God. And Catholic Hospitals always welcome the poor -- or anyone in need and they never turn anyone away.

I do love the "idea" of the Church -- and I love the history for all the most salacious reasons. Salacious? Is that the right word? Maybe provocative is the right word.

Anyway, the human race is a crazy breed. But I really am beginning to be more understanding and more tolerant of the intolerant.

We're all just trying to get through the day.

God Bless Pope Benedict. None of us are perfect. We have to stop setting impossibly high standards,

But I do wish that just for ONCE, the Church, any church would practice what Christ taught: to heal the sick, raise the dead, heal the body, mind and spirit. For the Pope to resign because he's not feeling well, makes me wonder, why not rely on the Great Healer? Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Pulitzr prize winning Christian Science Monitor, healed herself of paralysis (a broken and severed spinal cord) at the age of 14, by reading the Bible over and over, and finally the revelation came to her in Christ's teachings -- she discovered lost key to Christ's healing power -- which the churches had never found, because they were starting with the wong premise.

She understood more than any other spiritual thinker or minister -- that we are not material, we are spiritual. She was way ahead of her time. And if you start with the right premise: Genesis One - God made everything GOOD, there is no truth to the 2nd false creation story, the Adam and Eve myth, which clearly states was a "dream sleep of Adam." We are lost in that sleep right now. We started with a flawed premise; we started in the wrong place. No human can heal if he believes that evil (the serpent) or dis-ease has equal power to Good.


Eddy, a keen observer of human thinking, identified the kinds of thoughts that lead to illness. She saw that sickness is an unnatural, unconscious deviation from the perfection of God and of each one of us as His image and likeness. She came upon a place in thought at which individuals adopt a concept of themselves that leads either to discord and sickness or to holiness and health. She discovered that everyone can become aware of their thoughts and respond obediently to thoughts from God, those thoughts being spiritual, pure, and healthy. For her, mental self-awareness is key – just as knowing how you’re spending money is essential to sound personal finance.

Try this: Instead of assuming that you’re largely a set of body parts that can become ill, feel your oneness with this purely good, infinite Mind as its spiritual reflection. Start from the standpoint that your health is intact because goodness and wellness are inherent in this one infinite God that you reflect. This way of thinking has made a vast difference in my life, giving me both a more moral approach to living and better health. It can do the same for you.

Remaining calm in a Crisis



An excerpt from

‘Dark nights of the soul’—illumined


- See more at: http://journal.christianscience.com/shared/view/6jd9eo70ai?s=ac#sthash.OvzfEtVY.dpuf

I don’t know anyone of deep faith who hasn’t struggled deeply. When some of his followers turned away from his teachings, Jesus asked his disciples if they would leave too. Peter responded: “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life” ( John 6:68). “To whom shall we go?” The profound experiences of faith, the transforming moments of spiritual understanding and healing—moments born of the purest seeking and surrender—leave us changed in ways we cannot measure. They enlarge the scope of our lives; they propel us to discover more.

When I embraced my spiritual path, I had no idea of the challenges this road would present, the demands that would be made, the stretching I would have to do, the refining of my heart, the quickening of my spirit. There have been days when I have struggled. But still, I would not trade a moment of it. Every tough time has brought me closer to God—has taught me about God’s unbounded grace and how it surfaces over and over as we surrender self and embrace new vantage points.
Perhaps the paradox is, that even in the toughest times, the spiritual dawnings can come with such convincing clarity, simplicity, ease, that we get frustrated when it doesn’t feel easy. When we’re grappling with the entanglements of darkness and disbelief, we’re tempted to despair over the roughness of the road. “It should not be so hard!” We plead, “Where are you, God?” We are surprised by persecution, kickback, indifference, but mostly by the struggles of our own hearts.
Several summers ago while teaching a twelve-day course on Christian Science healing, I woke in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. The words, “There is no God,” were repeating themselves over and over again with great force in my thought. I felt as though I were being held underwater.
Jesus’ message resonates today: No matter what we’re faced with, no matter how dark, how evil, how deep the disbelief—there will always be an answer. God will always be with us. 

I practically hurled myself out of bed and went downstairs. The day before had been a difficult one: A number of the students were struggling with different issues. I vowed to stay up as long as necessary, to turn completely to God—to affirm that infinite, loving Presence. I chose to anchor my thought, heart, and soul in God and nothing else.

Little by little the cold front of darkness, hate, and disbelief began to lift. I prayed for the class and for the whole world until I consciously felt that nothing could separate us from the love of God. After an hour or two, I was filled with the most profound stillness, peace, and holiness I had ever felt. I knew that all was well. I knew that God was present right where I was. Our class later that day reflected this peace.

    I read Dianetics years ago. My favorite saying is nothing can live inside me. (virus wise anyway). God has given us everything we need as long as we believe. The mind has a great effect on our health. My x mother in law had a brain tumor. Fortunately she also had lost her short term memory due to excessive drinking. She rehabbed successfully. She didn't remember the tumor from day to day so depression stayed away and eventually with treatment the tumor went away to the amazement of her doctors. Jesus was constantly saying to his disciples "Again I say unto you" so it doesn't surprise me that without him to steer them they would go astray with the trappings of the Catholic church and it's wealth.

  26. Arctic thaw may be first in cascade of tipping points

    ONE climate domino has fallen, and it may start toppling others. A recent study outlined an interconnected web of climate tipping points, some of which make the next ones more likely. Now, an analysis of data from the last 23 years suggests we passed the first of these tipping points in 2007, when Arctic sea ice flipped into a new, less stable state. That may speed the world towards the next tipping point – the thaw of a vast expanse of Siberian permafrost.

    When it comes to the consequences of climate change, few are more dramatic than tipping points – a small push unleashes a big change, which may be unstoppable. According to Tim Lenton of the University of Exeter, UK, and Valerie Livina of the UK's National Physical Laboratory, Earth saw its first tipping point in 2007 when the Arctic sea ice hit a record low. The pair analysed data on ice cover going back to 1979, and found that every year since then, the extent of sea ice in the summer has been hovering around a new, shrunken state (The Cryosphere, doi.org/kkq). "This wasn't a one-off, it was a permanent change," Lenton says. He notes that since 2007, the ice has consistently taken longer to recover from small changes, suggesting it has entered a new, less stable state.

    Looks like the new Pope might have bigger problems than the crumbling Catholic Church hierarchy, and pedophile cover up ...... if this is true.

    Hundreds of millions starving to death might become a little pressing for him.

  46. Yes, I remember Fat Albert. It was a "black cartoon" back in the 70's, back when most shows about black people showed them living in ghettos, because that's where most black people lived back then.

    So your choice, out of the trillions of choices out there of ways to insult him, was to select an early television show about black kids, ...not "kids" mind you...but black kids...in a ghetto, from a time period back when black people were still openly disparaged in TV shows, and seldom shown in less than an unflattering light, (ghettos, junkyards, working as butlers....maids..., even the Jefferson's wasn't about a wealthy black family, it was about black family that "climbed out of the ghetto")and used THAT for your icon.

    You're not racist, ..you just "Happened" to choose form all the zillions of choices to mock him, a show about black kids taken from a time period when racism still existed openly on television.

    yea....right....uh huh....

    Funny how dummytron gets to decide who "loves" and who doesn't "love" America, like most teatards, who never offered much to the country, or served like Jimmy Carter, who gave years of his life in service to all of us in service to our country, before he served in both state and federal government.


    Get over your self dummytron you ain't a very good judge of what America really is standing for,that good a judge of character for those you denigrate here because of your extreme far right pseudo-fascist ideology.

    Both Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter have given much more to America than you ever considered to offer yourself.

    Your just like that fat pustule of human waste Rush Limbaugh, sitting on your fat arse squawking and complaining, but actually doing much of nothing in concrete terms yourself.

    However you both do a very good job denigrating those who gave much more then either of you two clowns ever have though of offering.

    Lydia is a shark.

    Florida surfers who ride waves at Mayport Poles might find this news a little unsettling, but scientists sure were delighted to have tagged and released a large great white shark Sunday afternoon immediately beyond the popular surf spot, in only 25 feet of water.

    It's the first time a great white has been tagged in the Jacksonville area, Chris Fisher, founder of Ocearch, told the Florida Times-Union. Mayport Poles is named after the nearby Mayport Naval Station.

    The shark measured 14 feet, 6 inches, and weighed 2,000 pounds.

    It was given the name Lydia and, after its tag was fitted and tissue samples and a blood work were taken, the shark was lowered from the research vessel's tagging cradle and turned loose.

  81. ANTIWORFEUS7:07 PM


    Well I wouldn't call it a professional opinion but my preferences are I wouldn't use Mcafee. Symantecs alright but it bogs down your system.

    Too many free options out there anyway that work as good or better, like AVG. Also Avast is a good free option. So is Adaware, although some of the features with Adaware will bog down your system a bit, not like Symantec but it'll slow your web browsing. I like AVG.

    ReplyDelete
  92. ANTIWORFEUS2:47 PM

    Ubuntu is not virus free. It has less "documented" viruses because its open source and its harder to track, but there are plenty of viruses that attack it. Not nearly as many as Windows of course, but nonetheless they're there.

    L10n Worm, Slapper Worm, Adore, Cheese Worm, Zip Worm, Net-Worm, Vit, Lindose, Satyr, RST, Rike, Pod, Metaphor, Nuxbee....and on and on.

    I'll be the first to admit there's a much lower laundry list, not even a fraction of those that can infect Windows, but there's still plenty of them out there and they're propagated easily due to the open source nature of Linux as well as the fact of a false sense of Security many Linux users have making them think they don't need anti virus software. An unprotected Linux system is a hackers dream.

    Same goes for Apple. All those Apple users out there who flaunted their perceived their systems impervious to viruses got a heavy dose of reality last week when Apple got taken down by one.

    I don't care what OS you use, if you're going to connect to the internet, you're going to want virus protection.


    ReplyDelete
  93. Oddly enough, I agree with Worf on this one.

    McAfee and Norton are both about average at detecting malware currently on your system. However, they are absolute crap at preventing them getting on your computer in the first place.

    A few years back I would've sworn by Trend Micro. They may still be good but they've turned into complete bloat ware. It'll slow your computer down big time.

    I currently run AVG free and Spybot Search and Destroy. They're both pretty good at keeping most malware out.

    Having said that, there are some more malicious bugs out there that will slip by them too. For that a good alternative is Malwarebytes Anti Malware.

    Be advised though that each program is better at detecting some viruses and not others. If you get something and none of your go to programs fix it, try the free or online versions of several different programs. Bit Defender, Panda, House Call, Malwarebytes and F-Secure will usually get most everything. If nothing works, look at programs that detect root kits.

    ReplyDelete
  94. One warning though, BE CAREFUL with the programs that search for root kits. They usually show you what they "suspect" are root kits and allow you to delete items at your discretion. If you don't know exactly what you're looking for you could delete something necessary to your system and really screw it up.

    ReplyDelete
  95. ANTIWORFEUS3:15 PM



    Malwarebytes is a good one but usually it just gets benign cookies and bots. But it is a good "FREE" complimentary to another virus program like AVG.

    Norton, Symantec, Mcafee, all system hogs. So is Trend Micro, however Trend Micro is really more of a corporate solution and works best on appliances and servers.

    Panda used to be good, but now its a system hog too.

    Kapersky is one lots of sys admins swear by, but its made in Russia, so......

  97. Worf, I run the firewall with Ubuntu, and have my computer configured so only my password permission allows changes to my hard-drive.

    On windows I usually use Malwarebytes with a tweak (to beat those who try to stop it) to clean up MS based computers, like the one I keep to run an old vector based CAD program I like to use.

    The programmer only wrote it to Windows so to use it I need a windows platform to run it and the small "XP only" usb 300 power microscope I use.


    But for inter-tubes surfing I just use the Ubuntu computer. I only load software from their Canonical site, so it has been checked out by people much smarter then I am about these things.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Usually if nothing I currently have on my computer works I first go to F-Secure. I think it's one of the best online scanners I've found.
    If you don't have a fairly fast computer though the scan can take several hours.

  101. ANTIWORFEUS4:22 PM

    That makes sense Clif, and if it prompts you for changes then that's good, of course I'd still run the AV were it me.

    Personally I use an Application Layer Firewall (hardware based of course) inline that filters out anything coming across the wire that I don't want (a pain when I need an exe or something but I just go in and disable it momentarily) so I can't get most types of viruses because they never get through my firewall.

    A few slip through but I have defenses in place for those too.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Worf

    Does AVG not have a firewall? I only briefly checked out the site.

    Linux is good too.

    ReplyDelete
  103. ANTIWORFEUS4:40 PM

    Yea they have one but its with their paid product, AVG Internet Security.

    Like most of the freebees if you want the Internet Security side then you have to pay.

    Adaware is the exception however, they include a free HTTP filtering capability in their product.

    Of course Windows comes with a free built in standard firewall, and now Windows includes free anti virus software (Windows Defender).

    The firewall I was talking about for me however is a hardware appliance, not software.

    Mine is enterprise class of course, but there are a lot of smaller ones out there that have Enterprise class capability that also include AV filtering but are designed for home offices.

    Like the Cisco ASA, Checkpoint makes one too (if you trust Israel) and Symantec has little ones too. I think the 360R might still be supported, not sure.

    Ted Nugent is bragging about killing over 400 wild pigs, a kill he dedicates to Bill Maher and other "animal rights freaks."

    While talking with SiriusXM's Brett Winterble, Nugent claimed he killed 455 wild pigs with his machine gun in a Texas field last weekend, according to RumorFix.

    “I took my machine gun in the helicopter -- in the Texas hill country -- me and my buddy ‘Pigman.' His name is ‘Pigman’; I’m the swine czar. I killed 455 hogs with my machine gun. I did it for Bill Maher and all those other animal rights freaks out there," he told Winterble, according to RumorFix. "My haters will hate me more for that."

    Nugent, who claims he fired off 750 rounds a minute, says it was all for the common good since wild pigs destroy the region's natural habitat, RumorFix reports. After the kill, the 64-year-old gun-crazed rocker said he gave the meat to the needy. “We distributed tons of the most delicious pork to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of this state. Everything we did was perfect – win, win, win," he added. “I had to adjust my halo as I was machine-gunning hogs.”



    I'm not sure what's sicker.

    The pure evil of human pieces of shit, like Nugent, who's souls are so wicked and foul they should be put down like the pigs he gleefully slaughters, ...or the fact this puss bag hero of the right wing pissed his pants when his time came to actually serve in the military, and yet the right wing stands him up as a hero.

  130. Yes, Worf, I am fully aware of the side skirts on German armored vehicles but did not connect them with your joke. I believe many tank commanders removed these and the fenders as they were wicked mud traps thus hindering wheel movement greatly.

  132. PANZERKAMPFWORFEN9:04 AM

    The skirts were not used on the Tiger. That pic I sent you was of an antique little model of a Tiger that I have (from the 1960s).

    The Schürzen skirts were used on the Panzerkampfwagen (Panzer Mark IV) and came in solid armor and later in mesh (which was lighter). They weren't fitted on most Panzer's operating in towns, cities, etc, just on the Mark IV's, with the long barrel 75mm operating in open battle fields.

    Later the Panzerkampfwagens chassis was used for the Sturmpanzer and Brumbar mounted guns but they also did not employ the skirts.

    Hence the most "feminine" of the Kraut tanks, was the Panzerkampfwagen for its proclivity of wearing skirts.
