This afternoon, one of my students wrote a sentence in which she misspelled hero as hore, which would be pronounced the same as whore.

Later that day, with the "Hard Frost" syncs, I thought of the term hoar frost, with the first word also being pronounced the same as whore.

My last post, "Giant goyish chauffeurs," ...

I've finished the free sample of Ari Barak and the Free-Will Paradox and have thus far resisted the temptation to buy the whole thing. Really, though, after spending money on that ridiculous story about yoga-loving farm animals finding the Holy Grail (see "Pigs and the Grail"), I'm not sure on what principle I can ...

This past August, I posted "The woods are lovely, dark and deep," about a sync involving that Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening." First I had seen in a vocabulary book an example sentence that clearly alluded to that poem. Then the next day my wife got me to watch a documentary with her which was ...

I had a sudden feeling last-night that it was important that everybody needs to Get A Grip - and soon.

This, because I felt that the time is near when when we will need to know For Ourselves and Affirm in our Hearts, that which is positively-good, true and motivating to us personally.

And it ...

Three days ago, on October 29, St. Anselm left a comment on "Going to church on Easter Sunday" referencing the Mormon hymn "Called to Serve." As he explained in a follow-up comment, he has no Mormon background but had just searched the hymnal for one with serve in its title so that he could make his joke about "To ...

In January 2023, I posted "Gordon Lightfoot's UFO song," a post I just had occasion to refer back to last week in "Cold Brother, the Background Brethren, and Christopher Walken." The 2023 post included this account of a dream:

I dreamed that I was watching [the 1989 movie Communion], but some of the scenes were ...

I believe that in these end times the spiritual powers that be have installed what you might call sleeper cells around the world which are lying dormant until required to act. These would be souls born with this particular mission who, for the most part, have no public image or importance and who, in most cases, have ...

I seem to be more solidly confident that so-called (post November 2022) AI is a dishonest and incompetent fake, than are most people.

Partly, this is because most people are on an AI-payroll (and I am not!) - but that doesn't explain my sureness.

The reason is I know that real science is dead in professional Big ...

A recent convention of European Newsreaders

When you read about a summit meeting between the Presidents and other nominal leaders of the Western nations; try thinking of it as a staged meeting of TV Newsreaders.

For instance; POTUS is, in essence, Newsreader-in-chief for national politics. ...

In the dream I posted in "Going to church on Easter Sunday," I was trying to find the hymn "Do What Is Right," which in the dream was hymn #24 (#237 in the actual CJCLDS hymnal), but discovered that the hymnal I had been given was actually a recipe book.

St. Anselm left a comment saying "Hymn #249 in the hymnal was ...

I've been reading Gary Lachman's book about precognitive dreams, Dreaming Ahead of Time. One of the points he makes is that, even compared to other forms of ESP, precognition is uniquely problematic because

knowledge of some event that hasn’t happened yet seems to contradict everything we know, or think we know, ...

Ritchie Valens put this in my mind. When you don't speak Spanish, even a common Spanish word has relatively few mental associations, so for me the word arriba is associated with (1) "La Bamba," (2) Speedy Gonzales, and (3) the Spanish translation of Joseph Smith's 1838 account of his First Vision. This last is ...

Kaylie, Kylie, Karlie, Kara and Cayleigh went to the mall, hoping to buy shoes. but then, as another bimbo gang stepped into their territory, in obvious defiance, Kaylie and Cayleigh opened immediate fire, killing four. the others joined later, killing four more.

whatever the perfect equilibrium is, it’s ...

If any commenters want to ask a question - this is an invitation.

(Except for trolls!) I intend to respond with... something or another.

(Even if my response isn't exactly an "answer"!)

The style and persons included in this image are significant - particularly the gratuitous presence of black magician and British intelligence operative Alisteir Crowley - back row second from left.

The cultural changes in the West that happened in the middle 1960s - especially in the UK and USA ...

I am increasingly aware of the extent of "intelligence" activity in some of the most unexpected areas of life - such as the esoteric/ new age and religious domains - ("spook spirituality", as I recently termed it - spook here meaning intelligence agent or operative).

I also recall that many who were funded by the ...

My dreaming mind is apparently rebelling against how Jewish this blog has been recently.

I dreamt that I was traveling with a group of very conservatively dressed people -- and by "conservatively," I mean they would have been considered very well-dressed in maybe the 18th century. It was Easter Sunday. We were all ...

The responses to my recent posts criticizing logos-centered Christians tend to have one thing in common—they avoid the criticism within those posts altogether.

What were the criticisms in those posts of mine?

My chief criticism in Essentially Leftist Logos-Lovers Railing Against Leftism focused on the observed ...

Hell hath no fury like someone accused of dishonest argument - when they actually are arguing dishonestly!

The self-righteous indignation at what seems a false accusation derives from the fact they are not consciously trying to deceive (i.e. to "lie") - the conscience is clear on that point!

But this depends on the ...

This past weekend, we finally got around to repairing the last of the damage done by the 2019 poltergeist. (One of the doorknobs it broke turned out to be pretty hard to find a replacement for.) As you may recall, my wife had a strong sense that the geist was in some way a spider:

When a brass doorknob somehow ...

Last night I was skimming the Wikipedia page on the Shadow. The sidebar listed one of his abilities as "Low-level superhuman strength (able to lift a sturdy armored car with only one hand)." Doesn't sound too "low-level" to me!

Today I read this in Ari Barak and the Free-Will Paradox. Ari has been met at the airport ...

Yesterday, en route to archive.org, I clicked for a random /x/ thread and got #31375960. It begins with this photo of dried "Montemorency" (sic) cherries and the question "Does this food cause you to have the most absurd dreams?"

The thread then rather weirdly turned to the question (seldom ...

I hate the term "unelected" when used to criticize particular persons in leadership positions, and supra-national institutions - such as the United Nations, the European Union, or NGOs.

The reason I hate "unelected" used thus; is that it implies persons and institutions who have-been elected - presumably by mass ...

“I have come to Christ through liberty and through an intimate experience of the paths of freedom.

My Christian faith is not a faith based on habit or tradition. It was won through an experience of the inner life of a most painful character.

I knew no compulsion in my religious life, and I had no experience ...

This advert about Bully Brown featured in many kid's comics throughout the 1960s; and was eventually so well known in the UK that it was successfully parodied by a teacher who was author of a school revue in my VI form years (he probably pinched it from Benny Hill); then further twice plagiarized ...

My main characteristic during mid-teens was perhaps the tendency to giggle, or more accurately laugh-hysterically - regardless of the situation...

More accurately still; the more important it was that I did not laugh, then more likely it was that I would be uncontrollably afflicted.

This got me into considerable ...

In the dream reported in my last post, "Communion and an ancient phoenix carving," one of the exhibits I saw in a museum was a series of "moving paintings," painted on the covers of large books, depicting eminent alchemists smoking.

Less than 24 hours after that dream, I read the following in Dreaming Ahead of Time ...

We are none of us spontaneously reality-based nowadays; partly due to inhabiting the virtuality, partly due to everybody* being psychologically (if not physically) ill and/or impaired.

Since health and normality are unattainable, and because all external sources of guidance are tainted and corrupted by the ...

Once we had settled in our new home it was time to get to work. The garden or compound, as gardens are called in India, was very overgrown and both the main buildings had seen better days. The basic structure of roof and walls was in good condition as they built solidly in those days, those days in this case being ...
