What Do They Feed "IT" at Midnight at the White House?

Beast Afoot in Watertown Mass.

From what I hear about these two bomber suspects, they were hanging around, blending in at MIT.

They got dropped off the moon and were sent here to kill.  The fact that they had little cash and had to rob a 7/11 says a lot about their handlers.

America has been lucky so far in terms of the imported traveling in kind of terrorists. It is hard to get hold of explosives here.  Not like you can transport that stuff over the mountains on the backs of mules or camels.

But there is another thing too. People from afar only see the surface of America and do not truly feel what we natives see and feel. 

Matter of perception. 

So simple and yet so very complex in reality.

Whose reality is the problem I think.

It is what I always saw looking around the icons of New York and realizing that foreigners don’t know how to pick the right targets to hurt us symbolically.  

They do not understand us. Thank God for that.

They could only take aim at the bigger things around in terms of icons but not truly mainstream America as far as I am concerned – the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001 as an example. (nothing close to our hearts)

That aside.  The emerging global culture is going both ways and right now that two way thing seems very violent.

The suspects had a shootout at the 7/11 killing a cop and then carjacked a SUV. So much like an American TV show. The chase. The shootout in Watertown. The door or door manhunt.

Life imitates art. American art – TV? 

Oh well. It is a start of sorts. They want to destroy us. They want to understand us. They want to imitate us. They want to be us. But yet they don’t want Mickey D’s on Main Street, Dirt Street, wherever, their-ever. 

Our sense of Local, like our God, not their sense of Local or like their God. How strange.

Strange dance of mutual attractions. Whatever.

“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

God Bless Obama and America Too!

Forgive me – the above image has appeared overnight with a strange mixed message as to what it really means. The image has come out of and is being used in the Birther/Deather (Know Nothing) political movement currently in vogue in the nation’s thought flow. The image in any case does not represent love or respect. In the political arena there are no rules.

It is strange but I follow a troubled soul meter regarding the state of the nation.

Whether it be coincidence or the heat in the political atmosphere, the number of people who seek out and read my Number of the Beast Article goes up in days of political unrest.

My article I wrote in a sort of religious stupor over ten years ago in quest of a more personal and perfect spirituality over and above the mere religions and the attempts by men to touch the Deity, in spirit or in words.

Revelation 13:18 - DCLXVI - The Number of the Beast

The Beast is indeed in Town Hall Meetings these days!

When people are searching for absolutes they look for absolutes in the Bible. I long ago concluded that the Bible is a man made book, sometimes inspired by the Deity. The revelation of God through the message of Jesus is something over and above the rest where that divine message is so crudely recorded in that faulty history book of the Bible.

Over and above it being a very poorly written history book, the only other function I can see in the Bible is one of a road map. It may lead you to points on the map literally or points in your individual journey where you may be closest to a spiritual awakening or even come close to step into the presence of God – transcendent – as in a Transfiguration of your life, spirit and spiritual direction toward eternity.

The bible does not predict anything. The bible only holds the predictions of men.

In times of political unrest, the bible will not tell you anything about the vetting process of a nation that at times seems to be half angel and half demon. We lived for centuries as half slave and half free. I knew that the vetting process of this Presidency might be difficult, I could not predict the weird ways, and particularly for people in the traditional South to accept reality in a real life setting after the 2008 election.

The shouts of anger in the crowds in town hall meetings are becoming more openly racist and evil in its content. Time cures everything. The young are more flexible. The old and much of their ingrained hatred is a decade or two away from the grave.

I pray for my nation to be the best it can be. Should be. I rarely get what I pray for.

God bless the nation. God bless the people right or wrong. God inspire and protect.
