Donate Church

Many people who visit my blog notice there are no comments. In observance with convention you have decided not to comment as well. I know about this kind of issue. I will address that below. It is okay if you decide not to comment either. And so, a comment is not expected.

Think of this web location to have been written by an author. The reading experience here is not interactive in any direct way to me; like if I had a circle of friends. I consider it my responsibility to sort of keep up with what the reader has as their comments in mind. Thus it is my responsibility to express those directives in the form of revisions and future writtings. And so now let me tell you the reason it is like this.

People don’t comment because I need a Baptism from the Church. Correctly developed Faith in an understanding that is personal to my thinking is necessary. It’s as if I am supposed to speak a universal language based on God. Announced on December 11, 2008, I will get Baptized by the Catholic Church. I go to Mass every day. I am a Practicing Catholic. I’m not trying to convince you to comment.

Although I know that the Baptism is the requirement. And, I am going to satisfy that requirement. I probably won’t get comments anyway. I’m fine with that.

Yes this problem is catchy. If you were never Baptized this problem could happen to you. If you were baptized stay tuned. I will say a little more about Baptism.

Baptism; my personal message

Catholic Faith

My home page these days is the Spinoza Lounge

I am attending the RCIA Classes for my Religious Study. It is a Catholic Church and I have been in attendance for a number of years. I have done the work and my faith is strong. It goes without saying that I have a lot of knowledge to share. That I am beginning is inconvenient, yet I need to have a place to get help with my Religious needs. I know this is basic understanding. I have attended a number of Philosophy courses and the community has said that I might know what to do; I have learned a lot of Philosophy. With this much said, it is probably necessary for my place in the Church to be secured. And that that specific Philosophy Techinc will be satisfied. I’m guessing there are people waiting on this, and that after RCIA there will be a passing. Now that I am on a new channel, Baptism, I wonder if Spinoza was ever baptized?

Catholic Challenges

I did a quick search in Google Video: “Yugoslavia Catholic.” I get Catholic all-the-way. In communion the church is celebrating community by making the congregation one in being with the Father. So, that is just in the church: a building. This link to video is going back to Pope John Paul. It is also going back to before the Global Warming awareness. The Catholic Churches are being destroyed.

I remember respecting Italy for not adopting Gothic Architecture. “Yeah we know what motivates a people to progress.” I reconstructed. It might not seem like it but I am focused on one thought. The Catholic Religion is designed to relax that progress tendency type motivation. When on occasion, we as a people are to be had while at church, that that is enough! I am so relieved that it exists in my community, but when I see the movement to unify Christianity, I am braced for a change. I am aware of the fact that there is Global Warming. I also gently notice that former Pope John Paul, without the complete thinking of just how Diplomatic Catholics are, that he was a Communist. The Unification of God although still Christian sounds like Communism. It is probably a few that don’t all-the-way get the Catholic Religion, but I support the Catholics! I am American and Americans use Democracy.

I wish I could just jump right out there and say what I know. I maintain however that the Catholic Religion serves a legitimate function in the community and that for what I am thinking, it is enough!

If you are so excited about the good news of Jesus and feel that everyone is entitled to his celebration, then go to the church that does that, and leave the Catholics alone.

Gospel Sunday

This text is taken Joan Mitchell, CSJ of Sunday Gospel May 11, 2005, Pentecost, Vol 17, No. 34

John’s gospel arises out of a Christian community that has lived Jesus’ message for 60-70 years. In John’s Pentecost scene, the coming of the Spirit doesn’t involve dramatic tongues of fire, strong wind, and speaking in many languages. To his disciples who gather, feeling fear and shame on this Easter evening, Jesus brings peace and breathes upon them the Spirit of forgiveness. “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

In characterizing the gifts of the Spirit as peace and forgiveness, John’s community of Christians shares its experience of living Jesus’ message. The risen Jesus empowers his disciples to forgive and forget. A community that continues in Jesus’ name must be a forgiving people. Forgiving others creates bonds. Forgetting hurts and grudges keeps us bound and apart.

The risen Jesus forgives and frees his disciples of their fear to become a forgiving presence in our world. He missions the community to spread the joy and peace they share.

How has someone’s forgiveness changed you? How has it made you more forgiving?
How has forgiving someone changed you?
What peace is within your power to give to someone this week?

Psalms 115

Psalms 115 is pretty good. Picture, Pay Stub, Shower, Parking-lot, Accommodation.

Now that I have identified a possible fix, I want to just mention that it might be a fix for the Proverbs 6.

Comment: January 9, 2026: On December 28, 2025 I was moved from Proverbs to the Gospel of Mark.
I wish I could be a better friend. I was a whore. This is the latest “What’s That?” It was Proverbs.

Christmas Day

The “exciting” Time of year in Religion is probably Christmas; it is the coming of the baby Jesus. The Spring time is a close second with the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. I want to mention a couple of things I am thinking concerning Jesus. As with many Religions our instincts reaffirm Religious practice as good. The Truth is that Religion is a living system of our Society which has served people well for a while. Two compelling insights for today are: Jesus was very involved in the drama of the Time. He was a player. His feelings were identifiable. In his teachings, he spoke of his conscience which people understood. Now the proof of this is that Jesus Saved. He saved us Sinners with his Crucifixtion and Death. I know this must sound confusing, but today Jesus would probably have participated in the discussion about which some people get and some do not.

The second issue I want to mention and I’ve already stated that this post is confusing, Jesus was the Son of God. He was made into a man from God’s image. There was something which would not pass. And in the creation of Jesus that issue was reconciled and made into a Religion. We follow the Words of Jesus fully knowing that from the necessity of embodiment, an acknowledgment of earthly substance, there is certain criteria of the conscience that will not rationalize into a stable practice. It is just too stormy. I could be talking about feelings generally. And, I could be talking about family as a unit. And there are many instances of the disposition from which I am referring. There are probably a number of people throughout Time who have mused about this notion, and who have come to be associated in controversy similarity; Residential Sages if you will. The main point, without getting too abstract, is to just notice that the Jesus phenomena was correct for his Time and that at the very least we have an ordinary way to manage our feelings; but also that his circumstance is recognizable and though interesting would not weaken a person’s Religion. Religious practice is good. It’s okay to wonder about Jesus. Many people as have I, we muse about Jesus. I am as excited about Jesus today as I was when I first learned about his exciting news.

So, now I want to take care of some of the details. Since we want to discover Religion in today’s terms let us beg the question of our faith, something we would do naturally but don’t out of fear we would cancel something. Was Jesus a good story? Then wouldn’t we say yes to another comming? Sure why-not; It’s Christmas!! So, now let there be a person like Jesus. We will say that Adoption is too far. The acceptable term would be Foster.

But, today we have many more features in our society than that of his time. We would attest that Jesus, in an attempt to “Foster” that kind of a personality, will probably learn the facts of his circumstance from other branches of society. The person like Jesus would learn about his circumstance one way or another. The effort would be spoiled simply by knowledge yeilded from our complex society. This is one of the basic messages in the L.M. Boston’s Young Adult Book series. For today it is just enough to understand a little bit about Jesus and his circumstance. It was a correct reading just to sort of realize Jesus is a nice way of socializing or an essential Family Unit. Don’t get discouraged. The mystery has a Faith. Grow and learn as much as you like. Your Faith will not fail; it will only become stronger. And your knowledge better.

Oxygen Doesn’t

No doubt there are people who impose a system of equivalencies on another person. For this educator type person there are these sort of boundaries. Let me explain.

From the type of person who uses their internal strife, they partition time into segments. Contrary to contiguity, they benefit someone who is outside by imposing on them their equivalency.

Traditionally taught, the way in which our thoughts vary for different people, these rather precious moments, expressed as Seize the Day, are that of the Sophist and should be free. It is education.

What I need to mention is that this type of person is that way in accordance with the internal laws of the Oxygen Atom!

Movie Express

Lilies of the Field is currently my very top movie these days. From it I would proceed to a subaltern movie. I will be inclined to return the idea of Lilies of the Field because it brings up the Famous Philosopher Berkeley. I guess I’m hooked on Lilies because I think that Berkeley has a Chapel in mind from his childhood. With that as one of the issues for Berkeley, it would have influenced his later works of Philosophy.

The dialog is pretty tight as well. I think that Lilies is worthy of Auto-Play. Not only does this movie parse correctly for this Time, it’s many chords manages to take care of me!

See you at the movies!

It is no longer available on the internet, but I just wanted to mention the “Acoustic Exchange.” It might be relevant here.

Prohibition and The Postal Service

Prohibition began on January 16, 1920. This Posting will explain that the Post Office did indeed have some interesting packages during prohibition.

Interestingly during prohibition, Wineries continued making wine with creative wine making practices. One acceptable method of wine making was in conjunction with Church.

The Catholic Church needed Wine for the Religious activity of Communion. Beaulieu Vineyard, was popular; they claimed they were, “The House of Alter Wine.” The other way in which a winery could stay in business during prohibition was supporting wine making practices for people at home.

The deal was to mail the home wine maker a kit containing the materials to make the wine. Under a loophole in The Volstead Act, the head of house hold could make up to two hundred gallons of wine a year. So, Wineries would mail grape juice and concentrate under names like Forbidden Fruit, Vine-Glo and Moonmist to homes via the Post Office.

Now this would be taking place in 1915. Wine making technology was not very sophisticated. The instructions sometimes would read as a warning, “Do not place container in room temperature over 60 degrees or contents may ferment.” It is important to realize the types of grapes were used had to be hardy since the shipping was often across country. Today wines are made with grapes grown for their subtle or complex quality of wine on the palate. Alicante Bouschet and Alicante Ganzin were thus used back then but were considered bad at the very least. I imagine that they were very much like the Concord Grape used today in grape juice Concentrate.

As part of the wine making practices during prohibition the juice or grapes were shipped in the mail. This would probably mean complications during shipping. Some leakage and even soaked cardboard was an ordinary appearance at the Post Office. So this stuff was shipping; and so in time, also dried if spilled or broken. Oh how the Post Office must have hated the mail articles containing whine. Well, I have always been a little afraid of smells. But I think I know the smell they had when a household ordered a wine making kit.

Some Pretty major changes took place in the Napa Valley after prohibition which wouldn’t have been due to the pressures of the Post Office. It makes sense the wineries could use delicate grapes and thus a more complex wine on location after prohibition. However the Post Office didn’t complain or cause the political tides ending prohibition; that was because of the voters who wanted to drink.

And, so the interesting era ended after fourteen years where the Post Office managed things on the basis of an occasional smell. The ending of prohibition meant that wine could be shipped more appropriately. If even the occasional bottle were to leak or break the product could never have such a devastating affect as a distinctive smell since the quality of the product is much improved. There is a natural inclination for improvements yet this is probably one practice which goes into history as interesting for the Post Office and did not have any negative effect.

Phenomenology

I am going to discuss my personal views about someone who is very important to me; Merleau-Ponty. From my first recollection, I did not like Ponty. The fact is those feelings guaranteed me an automatic ‘F’. I can tell that I have made progress in my opinion since – as evidence by my erasure of comments in the margins of his greatest work: Eye and Mind.

So I cleaned up my copy of his essay. Merleau-Ponty who was a French Philosopher wrote about the Master French painter Cezanne. After Ponty passed away in the early sixties, his works were translated into English. The translator, Carleton Dallery used a number of writing styles to achieve an effective and purposeful study for the English speaking scholar to learn about Cezanne. The consequences for my strong feelings against Merleau-Ponty at that first reading are not outside of the realm of possibilities for any reader. It might be the case that Carleton Dallery at the expense of being perceived as not knowing a certain detail about Cezanne, embedded a critical idea which does not come to fruition in order to affect the reader with strong feelings. Not however, but particularly for Ponty, space has taken on a kind of identity. I have had difficulty overcoming my initial opinion and further hold by some fault of my own I have come up short on wits. Thus I must reason I had at that time the condition about which I have already talked about a necessity for agreement. This is in keeping with my latter readings, and I want to reassure Dick Tracy that I like Maurice Merleau-Ponty and that I understand his essay; I admit it is a great work.

You are a fool! So, you say you like Maurice Merleau-Ponty, but you have changed. Why you don’t convict him for your disposition?

Well, I will tell you, my friend, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s English translation has as a remedy something called a Rhinoplasty. This is a Plastic Surgery correcting the Septum from deviation. These were his last words, ‘you have your whole life ahead of you.’ I got a Rhinoplasty. It has been the single most enlightening procedure of my Life.

If you are able to sustain a frame of mind on that of a person whose fingers are stubby, you will learn. There are a number of builds that are available to muse with; all of which raises your social status. I am telling you this because there is a reason that a Dominant Gene results in a Conscience. The Dominant Genes of this particular type in a person who has one from each parent, results in a disorder, called Phocomelia, and which causes a birth defect of the arms and hands. Phocomelia literally means Flippers. The genetic disposition, I am calling a Disorder, includes the making of the Conscience where there is only one Dominant Gene of which it is the same type. Here the Idea is that you get your genes from your parents. This is a normal condition to have one, or to have both Recessive. The infamous Luke Sky-walker was Recessive-Recessive; “Use the Force Luke”. And this very issue which sadly Maurice Merleau-Ponty did not correctly develop for some reason, is a Distinguishing component of socialization.

When the Philosopher says existentially NO!; it is to be a distinguishing threshold in which we enlightened the path to Fame. For example you would not want a person with a conscience to read the news or write lyrics for an album unless the person were able to overcome the present with new material. What you have said about my acceptance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty is probably a thought disorder.

To make this situation which I have built in thought whole, I just want to mention that there is another reading of David Hume. His thoughts mostly have been about the good of determination. But if you needed an advocate for your applied distinguishing activity, which I have said is Genetic, Hume has the correct thinking for a free minded person of a general nature to be an advocate. So, on the basis that this issue is Genetic, I conclude that there will be NO changes in the thinking process – no fear. I say this and I expect you to believe that you are who you are ever since conception. Now, haven’t I been a nuisance, a person should not have Fear? And haven’t I just given you a good reason to teach Hume even though his works only seem to fit with a certain type of a person?

If for some reason, the little friendship that Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre had while the editors of the magazine in France the prejudice against Maurice Merleau-Ponty still went without address, his reason is there really is something to see: and I am referring to Phenomenology. Maurice Merleau-Ponty would have been the president of that little organization of Cosmonauts.

Now, I have a little bit of house keeping to do for Maurice Merleau-Ponty that I haven’t addressed elsewhere. While Maurice Merleau-Ponty had a driver which never came to fruition. I have mentioned it earlier, there is a confusion about which gene he is referring to. Let me say that when I was referring to a Dominant Gene, it is conceivable the inherited dominant gene for conscience could have come from either parent and not just the Father. Though he did not speak of it, he was all the while referring to another Gene; it was a driver to get a person to have strong feelings. In the Philosophical work Eye and Mind, which he is best known for and which he sort of built a little engine “see,” Maurice Merleau-Ponty, though I do not believe it today, there is a tendency to confuse the gene for sex with the gene for conscience. Recall that Maurice Merleau-Ponty mostly ignored the prompting from Sartre about the Genetic issue. So, when the prejudicial perspective that Sartre would have prompted him about in their years together came up, Maurice Merleau-Ponty probably extended his most highest held belief, to see, in the instance that it is restricted to that of the spirit of the Father. In the case of the Fathers Gene, the Genetic issue is in regards to the twenty-third Chromosome determining a person’s sex. In a remedy, from the religious point of view involving the Holy Trinity, after thoughts (God willing), the Father could have a high degree of influence over his children’s cognitive abilities. Here I want to mention that this is as much a disparity as that of the twenty-second Chromosome which determines conscience. So, even though I have been square about a Distinguishing social issue, the presiding gene, I have had to bring into the discussion a matter of articulation of Maurice Merleau-Pontys emphasis as having a gene that could inconceivably been inherited from the Mother as well as from the Father. It is the Holy Trinity case the Philosopher Spinoza had as a good Catholic. Maurice Merleau-Ponty merely cast into time for a collection of intelligent substance with which seeing would be the basis of a Phenomenology without the context involving the gene for sexual orientation.

I seem to have uncovered a matter of confusion. If you wish to think about this issue look at XVR and Comments to XVR
