Part 2 WHY DO YOU CRY FOR NO REASON AT ALL

Part 1 of LEGACY book review ended with suicide in the event that a person has lost their own ability to remember their power and has succumbed to the suffering of their Somatopsycho disease state. This is what the continuum is all about, the attack on the human body, which causes symptoms and illness arising from sequences or a progression of events…

The Days of Collar

This is a ‘Page’ from my upcoming book, and it is unlike any previously-posted ‘Page.’ In fact, it’s unlike any thing I have posted here before. Highly metaphorical, I have maintained my usual (at least as far as the ‘Pages’ are concerned) terse, baroque style, but the content is… well…

The False Honour Of New Age Spiritual Charlatans

We meet the Creator Within Ourselves in Accord with our Ability to Surrender the False Self of Ego Without surrendering our false selves we cannot rise to meet our true selves, and then to rise even further to meet the Creator in divine union. There are no short cuts. The dross must be separated from the wheat, and we must grind our own wheat to consecrate our spirits…

RFK Jr. Supporters are Late to the Fight

The RFK Jr. camp have latched on to the narrative that “RFK Jr. is the best chance to stop the Uniparty and the Duopoly”. As if to imply that Trump is part of the Uniparty… Trump has been at war with the Uniparty since he came down that escalator in 2016…

The Freedom Scale

What Is the Bill of Rights REALLY Saying?

If you are in a country that promises to protect your freedom of speech, consider yourself lucky. Most places do not, or do so to a very equivocated degree. But even in the countries that do promise to protect that right, we have to ask ourselves where the threat to that right comes from in the first place. From whom, exactly, are they protecting us…

Joyce’s Place

When rain falls gently on my face, and willows bow in slender grace, when golden sun the clouds does rend, I think of all the time we’ve spent. When in the sky the lark does sing, and Summer follows bright young Spring, when trees and meadows flower green…

Concubine Queens (Dune Finale)

Melissa’s Comments: Thank the Lisan Al-Gaib, it’s finally over. I hated this book. I want back the hours I spent on this book. I don’t know what value anyone sees in this thing. It’s not fun. It’s not thought-provoking. Any promise that it showed of being fun…

Journeys with Jann

The Finn Girl and her Trunk

April 1, 1916 Tampere, Finland I am so grateful that Mamma knit me a cap, scarf and mittens for this new journey. And, in a soft rose pink!!! My favorite color. It is still cool, yet, not bitter Nordic cold on this first day of April. I lightly wrap my scarf a few more times around my neck and cover my lower face. So pink and cold against the occasional …

Beyond the Visible

My Journey Through Language, Perception, and World Building

I've always been mesmerized by the magic of language—it's a spellbinding force that reshapes our reality. Think about it: every word I write, every story I tell, is like casting a spell, transforming thoughts into tangible change. "Go slow to go fast," the wisdom goes, and I’m living it…

Reason to Live: Transformation of a Junkie

It was an obscenely late hour, but no junkie coming off heroin sleeps much — even if they’ve had it out of their system for 30 - 60 days, the whole “sleep” thing doesn’t come back steady until about a year of sobriety. Luckily, we were all in it together. I’d say we made good use of those late hours…

Post Post Modern

Never Had A Reason

I have to be honest. I’ve had this idea for a song- this exact recording I’m posting- kicking around inside my head and my Garageband files for well over five years now. I have long thought that I would add a second verse to it some day, and just…well…MORE to this recording, but I woke up today with a strong cup of clarity…
