Forget The News

I mean of course there will be stories in the general media over the next few days and weeks that are about current affairs and will be very drawing of everyone's attention because they contain many titillating elements.

They're interesting stories to the extent that they can grab your attention and make you wonder what really is going on 'up there in the big league' of politics and public figures.

They're about money, power, and sex and everyone will jump to wrong conclusions about 'who' and 'why.'

You don't need to wonder.

Pack your intellectual bags. You're going 
somewhere.

It's all just plain old 'normal' political stuff - some of it will be on the national/global scales.

What I am trying to do here though, is turn to very prosaic matters: how to calculate the actual winding-through-its-curves length of any river... For example.

The answer is that all rivers are in actual length 3.14 times their direct route distance from source to the sea.

We all look at the economic scene and around ourselves and what we have and what we do for a living each day and say: 'If only I won the major lottery prize.'

Yeah? And if you did?

Then what?

What would you do then?

Someone who knew enough of the Forms could easily take a moderately-deep look at any specific present economic context and derive exact calculated conclusions about how to make money with little 'frictional cost,' as they say.

At the same time though, if we took the modern-day 'New Age-y' 'manifestation' proposition at face value -, it is still not so easy to mentally picture, to envisage, what your life would really look life if you suddenly had an additional, say, fifty million dollars.

For one thing you don't really believe that you can make such a sum readily - maybe you could or you might 'win' it but there is no credibility inside your head to the proposition that you will make it as a genuine calculation from some given bases.

Seemingly calm and quiet, it is
teeming with life.

So you can't 'see' what really, things would look like when you genuinely had such sizable sums at your fingertips.

Hey I mean it costs around forty thousand dollars a year just for the tires on a Bugatti Veyron...

LOL

Artists can see such things without the baggage of at the same time thinking about having to drive past all of the starving, the homeless... ...people.

You just 'imagine' things like heaven. And places where there are actual, for-real 'angelic beings.'

You don't believe it.

You don't actual believe it.

You might hope it, but you don't believe it.

But I'm here to convince you about their reality.

Not their speculative possibility; their reality.

Did you not yet get the amazing sense of humor of God?!

Long ago, God was the Bread of Life.

This week, I absolutely guarantee you that on more than one occasion, you looked forward to eating with great engagement in the proposition.

Well, the Bread of Life was great for 'in the past.' It's still great but there's more.

Today God is the spicy curry and rice of life.

How do you figure that you will 'worship' - I mean really really worship - a god or His/Her/Their/Its Angel/s, when you have far greater visceral desire and feelings and pleasure from the future prospect and then the act, of eating...

It's good to eat, and very good to enjoy what you eat. Treat it as a real sacrament. Unless you feel, how you can know God?

You meet literal, real God and then what -? Does it make you desire your food more, or perhaps enjoy it better because all of your worries would have been removed then?

God is food though.

On the obvious material plane you cannot live with food.

On the in-obvious plane you still cannot live without food because you are a material creature that needs food to survive.

Consuming food is an 'all-of-the-senses' thing.

An 'all-of-the-senses' thing.
God-like...
Right?
LOL

How can it be that encountering a supremely powerful intelligent being is less of an actual sense experience?

Scientists talk of the bio-chemistry of satisfaction when it comes to the subject of food.

Psychologists know better.

Today we literally have millions and millions of adult people, stabbing themselves in the stomach with an eight-inch pen-like device with a needle that secretes chemicals which lower your (their) appetite.

O-o-kay...

You're really smart you humans. Wow.
