muddy waters

There are those who question Exodus as to just what was God trying to say? Notice He is trying, the first inkling of doubt is thereby introduced. They pile up words to cover the central meaning which confusion results in a multiple of meanings to the tangential, inadvertently giving muddying waters tongue for the devil.

binary belief

It is a problematical subject for me to get around the binary nature of so many things. There seems strong evidence for the requirement of another entity to play off the second, just in order for the potential power to be demonstrated in one of them.

Belief is the apparent avenue to influence the future. This means we would have to believe in something or someone other than anyone or anything at all within ourselves. If you can believe you have the possible power, the power itself must come from outside the believer. Belief in what or who, is not exactly left up to personal discretion it appears. 

The best source of belief of power is Jesus Christ because of his unique and only position above all other sources. He is the only one to say He was the Son of God, Son of Existence. He is the only one to conquer death. The main theme of his life's testimony was the importance of spirit over the concrete if we were to influence anything before us and around us or even within us. 

And are we not ourselves all sons and daughters of God? Jesus made reference to this fact, saying this was in the fundamental teachings. In order to believe this then we must believe He is the only source there is, without wavering. Without any power to plug into we are without  power. It takes two to multiply and it is not that automatically easy as some suspect.

when old was new in an idle moment of time

There once was a man who was 215 years old. This is all we know about him, that he was the last surviving solder who participated in the Revolutionary War. So I figured out at the time I learned about him, that if he had lived another second 215 years he would have been dead 34 years already. Is this what we can hope for?

If you live long enough we get the opportunity to ask a doctor or dentist, what happened to a procedure they used to do? The answer always seemed quite similiar each and every time which was, oh well, we don't do that anymore. If you make it far enough you should get at least three different times in your life to ask that question and get that similar questionable answer.

So I said well you seem to have a history of being wrong. The next question, I never ask it, what are you doing today you won't be doing anymore tomorrow? First they took x-rays in a checkup and now they don't. Tests during checkups that I paid big bucks for every year completely dropped altogether because it did not tell them anything. First the big number in blood pressure was more important, and now it is the small number the most important. Instances and example abound.

Decided to look at the hi-fi equipment to fill some time, this was awhile back now. Salesman shows me an hi-fi amplifier with tubes in it. This is the best there is he tells me. When I bought my tube amplifier years previous it was on sale because it was old technology making room for solid state, and that now was the thing. You don't have to wait for it to warm up I was told. Now I am to supposed to wait out the warmup because tubes offer better sound. This will never stop. The main attraction seems to be new. New used be old in new wine skins.

How did I get here? Everyday 100 years of age is getting younger. I don't want to be 100, but what is the alternative? One of the lines in the movie Bladerunner play peekaboo in the shadows. All those moments lost in time, like tears in the rain.
