>Despite an auto accident seems to be a disordered event, with its forces and

>First, there were two mental statements heard that seem to be relevant:
>
>1. Mid-day Friday: "Trust me: You want it." This was loud, and clear, and had
>a quality that I'd have to call "golden", a quality of trust-worthiness.
>
>2. Saturday: "I am backing your devil." This suggests to me an umbrella
>of competence, even in the area of applying a destructive force (a devil?).
>I would solicit other opinions. Nobody wants anything to do with devils.

>Second, I was talking to a cop who works heart/trauma one night a week. As
>he was describing anatomy, I realized that the one exercise that I've been doing
>diligently, ab crunches, and sometimes, flies, were as if a surprise survival recipe.
>
>
>Third, I have hearkened to Susan's prophetic themes: 1. Of resting / being carried
>in the Lord; 2. of walls we cannot tear down (arising out of our own competence);
>3. of double-mindedness. 
>
>Whatever little changes in (1,2,3) I had acheived, or even hoped for, of my own power,
>they are dwarfed by the effects of this auto accident, a clear answering of desires (1,2).
>I even strarted to fret over how fast I'd have to get back to work, but my employer has
>an insurance to pay the 2/3 of income that disability doesn't, so that will work out too.
>
>Item 3 is technical, pertaining to spiritual "eunuchs".  But again, the Lord will acheive
>His perfect work, and it will have a coherence that I could not wrest myself. No doubt
>Susan's bird references overlap in Isaiah? that: "No vulture/eagle will lack her mate".
>
>For the last few weeks, I've been holding a URL prize I wished to share here, but each
>morning I''d race in to work, and resume my voluminous web reading, and took no time
>to write.  The page is inherently Anti-Christ, but it is so comprehensive a history as to
>be a resource for Christians: http://www.metahistory.org/background.php
>
>Their goal of metahistory, blinded by lack of faith, makes every conclusion stink, a cesspool
>worth studying. My attention was riveted by a mid-paper assertion that the Rosetta stone
>first opened up Egyptian ideas to influence Western thought (philosophy and theology).
>
>I think that further digging in that area will reveal a specific instantiation of the 
>Jewish historical fact / generalizable principle that: "Egypt is a broken reed; Everyone
>that takes hold on her/it will be pierced through the hand" (approx.) It has something
>to do with the essential deficit of one type of non-faith thinking that grips this age.
>
>I think it is significant that the mark I received in my right hand, a pair of red dotted
>circles, that is, a double 'sun sign', was accompanied by a feeling running up and down
>the forearm, which also fits the form of a reed, as used here, and perhaps in Revelation.
>
>To just tick off some other spurs surfed or noticed:
>
>(I had started a major effort on the recent flourish of grail secrets debunkers..)
>
>My grasp on history is novice, but, if there was one thing the Jews killed for, beside
>real estate, it was for ridance of idolatry, also of Baal worship. I am really attached
>to an idea that Television is this age's exact literal implementation of idols/idolatry.
>Meanwhile, the metahistorian would conflate Jesus with solar gods, and point to the
>long pre-history of solar gods to suggest that Jesus is likely just another myth.
>
>But the OT goes on at length to emphasize that the Lord is not Baal. That is,
>whatever the Jew's I AM, THAT I AM is, exactly, He doesn't want to be confused
>with the mere sun, a prime mover to modern science, bringing the effect of cereal.
>
>But of all things fertility cult, whether yoni or linga oriented, there seems to be no
>beast quite like man. There was an amazing book of last century, available online,
>approx. "The male cross in Christianity....' which gave a stunning comparison of
>the Jewish temple practices to pagan fertility rituals. Very Convincing!
>
>And yet, despite all the similarities, I tell you: This is not that! The metahistoricizers
>easily compare, but lack essential truths of religion necessary to contrast.
>
>Maybe we can rectify that this year.

>Well, I better put my Jetson index finger to sleep now, if it's not already overextended.
