Hey what's life without some controversy, eh? Some of what is in here will be seen as quite controversial by a lot of people. ...The problem is it's all true.
Anyway... Our regular friend and contributor, the redoubtable 'KP' (not Katy, the one who just left right here after taking some pics with our native wildlife...) gives a good lead into some interesting matters.
'Urushi lacquer' is of course, and as you know - illegal in California.

Not traditional design, but still 'Urushi.' You see anyone writing with one of these, that's many thousands of dollars in their hand. |
It is very expensive; the good examples of work done using it. It's a resin taken from the Urushi tree, which produces a toxic sap from which the lacquer is then derived.
I mean the reality is that after the substance is processed into the actual lacquer, it is not toxic, but that is not going to stop Cali, is it. I'm not completely sure but I certainly would not risk going to LA and signing some agreement with some talent using a Japanese Urushi lacquer pen...
A lot of common enough substances that are around are toxic in the raw state, but when cured become completely safe.
Australian indigenous people use the Zamia Palm and also Redgum tree resin in much the same way that the Japanese have done for centuries. In fact the Australian Aboriginals actually eat lengthy time and hot sand-cured Zamia Palm nuts.
I don't really want to discuss pens and illegal lacquers and all of this, but I do want to look at how broader human societies and cultures generally always seem to varnish over truth.
It is totally impossible to say to a well-schooled Jewish faith person, or to a Muslim trained in their own standard traditions - that there is no word 'One' in actual earliest source religious texts. That 'word' was derived from highly sophisticated cultures much before any of them were even able to write much less spell and understand the concepts involved.
The concept that was later on twisted into some idea about 'monotheism' comes from musical exegetic texts to do with 'harmony' and 'unisons.'

This is also Japanese. Very fragile. They break a lot. But I still like them. |
David, the identity supposedly to do with the Islamic Zaboor (also 'Zabur'), was a musician.
David, the identity that the Jewish faith people say is their ethnic prototype (there was also a Persian they counted in the same category) 'Messiah' was not only a musician, but one preferred literally by 'God' and then outright called 'a god' by 'God' in the mainstream religious text itself.
Yet, all modern-era Jewish religious scholars say that 'the Messiah' is not 'God' or certainly not 'a god.'
Yet the text actually says that David is a god (a divine being). That he was once mortal but became immortal and lives today.
Most people around today, especially the standard average Muslim (and everyone in California especially the actors and producers I am imagining that I could sign this 'agreement' with, that I casually mentioned above, although I am having strong second thoughts) will say that the Palestinians are entitled to shove the Jews out of Israel.
Whereas, Surah al-Ma'idah of the Quran verses 20 - 26 explicitly say that 'Allah' assigned all of Jerusalem and all the Holy Lands to the Jews, with no exemptions or exclusions possible at all to his direct order to the 'Banu Israel' to go and occupy the land; all of it.
See what happens, is as soon as something in a formal sacred text begins to shift to some position that is 'hard to believe,' or difficult politically, or difficult to concretely prove in front of people's eyes - then the ruling establishments always tap-dance and back-pedal on the language...
'Yes, Jesus raises people from the dead - except not your mother or father, no matter how much you are attached to them... ...because naturally, prolly, you are a sinner.'
So Jesus not gonna help you. Sorry. Not right away. But later sure -, when you are dead and can't come here and collect receipts from us; we who rule over you and want to dictate to you what to do (for us).
Jesus cannot be 'Messiah' because 'Messiah' is not a god/not God; just a man.
Jews cannot control and dominate Gaza and Palestine, because they disobeyed Allah and so Allah abrogated his original orders. Never does say that anywhere in the Quran but doesn't matter, despite that changing the Quran is strictly forbidden we gonna do it anyway. And you're just gonna suck it up.
Three days ago, the IRGC government formally issued a statement saying that the Jews and Netanyahu in particular, used occult means and probably the Djinn (they specifically said that in those words), to carry out the destruction of virtually all of the deep bunkers, and also to kill of most of its leadership, and that 'unusual occurrences' happened right in front of them when they were hiding in the bunkers -, which indicated such activity.
Despite that belief in any occult powers being able to harm a believing Muslim, being 'shirk' - a fatal form of 'disbelief' (in Allah) in Islam - the actual Ayatollah (Khamenei) and his closest followers said it anyway. And no one anywhere has bridled.
Anytime, people cannot evidence the reality of some 'extraordinary' element of a formal system of philosophy or belief, they all make up new reasons for back-pedaling very fast.
In the same way you will find now that all of this talk about 'UAP's' will soon degenerate into nonsense about conditions and causes and reasons, anywhere from Lockheed has it and must keep it secret - to the human race is 'not ready.'
Sure the human race is not ready - it's never been ready but that never stopped anything in the past when the matter was real.
I am the one that told you explicitly a short while ago in these exact words - 'not by any human hand/not with any Earthly hand.'
And no other than the Ayatollah Khamenei is now agreeing with me.
I never told you 'Oh it's only just orbs and lights in the sky and maybe some gray big-eyed Aliens in your dreams.'
I said - real physical material people; but not from this planet.
And there I shall stay on that.
: )
And that makes this place a whole lot different to anywhere else you are going to be reading things about this vexxed subject right now.
It's the guys that are tap-dancing that have no clue.
And I never said I could not evidence things. I said I was starting up discussions and negotiations with Hollywood 'elites' because the ultimate commercial value is of course, very high.
Not that that will impel them to do anything.
We might have to go it alone and just plain hand it over to y'all.
And why not? No reason why not. Gotta be a bit responsible I guess with some of it, because it is dangerous - but mostly, just might have to tell it like it is. And show it, like it is. Will only ever be one-to-one though. I have no indication that there is ever going to be a 'landing on the White House lawn.' God if there is we're all (or mostly all) dead!
Nice calm Japanese track:
Years ago now I started calling my aunt's cat, whose real name was "Belle," by the affectionate term "kittypoops." A couple of years after her death I received a gift from an old blue jay around the house. I had burried kittypoops in the soil behind the garage, however not deep enough, and some animal apparently got in there, as there was no trace of kittypoops corpse to be seen, except for the hole.
ReplyDeleteSo anyway, the blue jay left me half of a cat's jaw. Not sure whether it's kittypoops/ maybe not. maybe some other cat, perhaps the unfortunate victim of a coyote. That was a night to remember. Kittypoops heard the commotion and jumped into the window to observe the entire grim proceeding. She just watched. The coyote and some unlucky neighbor's cat.
not sure what this has to do with Katy Perry. Presumably something.
Urushi lacquer, in its liquid state, is not quite "toxic" (lacquer artists are rumored to add small bits of it to their infants' formula, in the hope it will render them immune to it's ill effects). It makes many people break out in nasty rashes, containing a compound similar to that found in "poison oak."
But it is one of the most magical substances on earth.
