It was "intelligence never discovering its sufficient reason and man falling far beneath himself." It was the Cosmic inversion that told my gut something was terribly wrong. Flip the tree over into the correct position & everything makes sense again.<BR/><BR/>"...perhaps by freely passing along what they freely passed into me.... a sort of "continuous miracle" that takes place in my head, of all places."<BR/><BR/>For some timelessness now I've been coontemplating the wonder of the way light-threads unroll through time via history. Sort of light-memes that make contact somewhere dark & untouched, infect the populace & spread, bearing fruit further along the time-path. <BR/><BR/>Nomo, do me a favor & provide the appropriate hyper-link, would ya please?<BR/><BR/>The Arc of Salvation discussed how the Hebrews, with O-breathed ways, set the light-thread ball unrolling & pockets of lucidity begin springing up. It spreads to the Old World via a Judeo-Christian thinking tradition, then on to the US Founding Father's clueprints.<BR/><BR/>Then we get that mass reenlistment that took place last week in Baghdad. Those people were ceremoniously acknowledging the continuance of that light-thread, putting their lives on the line with that endorsement.<BR/><BR/>Is their 'real' function to start the spread the light-meme in that godforsaken part of the world? O's light in the heart of the Caliphate, spread by first kicking butt & then passing out beanie-babies? Iraqi boys want to grow up & become US Troopers. Aren't the strongest supposed to be the biggest a**holes too? Whaaaat? You're helping us & not stealing whatever we have? You're giving us seed-money to reopen our shops in the market & you're not even kin or tribe members?<BR/><BR/>What does one do with that kind of reversal of 'the way things have always been done'?

From what I am reading, it is far from the panacea - in fact, not really healthy at all - at least in the mass marketed forms we see.<BR/><BR/>Another NoMo film recommend - The Kite Runner. A beautiful and moving picture with some realistic takes on the fascist Taliban. Makes one glad all over that we worked so hard to blow 'em up!<BR/><BR/>And finally...perhaps today is a good time to lay to rest the term "Jesus willies". I know what we mean by it here, but is the form of the message really as important as the function? Truth is Truth, no matter how it is presented. The power's in the message, not the messenger. What brings willies to one might well bring new life to another.

Maybe I can show-off that I know something about one thing, instead of the usual nothing about everything.<BR/><BR/>There are many, many nutritional problems with soy & soy-products - all Raccoons should get informed, especially because soy-products in various re-labeled/re-named forms permeate our processed food supply. The stuff is everywhere - just try cutting it out of your diet & you'll see.<BR/><BR/>Only long fermentation, such as for making tempeh, natto, miso and traditional-method shoyu or tamari sauce neutralize the nasties, but few Westerners consume their soy in these forms.<BR/><BR/>Soybeans come to us from the Orient, where it was not food, but a crop used to fix nitrogen in the soil. It did not became food until the Chinese started fermenting it during the Chou Dynasty (1134 - 246 BC) - read up & you'll see why it never made it as food until then.<BR/><BR/>Unfermented soy contains enzyme-inhibiting compounds that wreck havoc on the proper absorption of minerals, along with mimics that mess up other systems in the body.<BR/><BR/>All that hubbub about using soy for estrogen replacement therapy comes from the fact that soy contains estrogen-mimics. Only problem is that nobody made sure the mimics were good for people. For example, Soy-based baby formula F's-up boy-babies by dosing them with girl-hormone-mimics. Been seeing lots of placid, fat young guys with boobies? Gee, wonder why.<BR/><BR/>Here's an info link page. Plenty to choose from, but "Ploy of Soy" is a good place to start.<BR/><BR/>http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-42674155875459913942008-07-07T17:41:00.000-07:002008-07-07T17:41:00.000-07:00Yes, but think of all the money you saved by allow...Yes, but think of all the money you saved by allowing Gagdad to slog through and eliminate all the lousy books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-40519709755698866132008-07-07T17:00:00.000-07:002008-07-07T17:00:00.000-07:00ps. time spent here clearly hasn't improved my gra...ps. time spent here clearly hasn't improved my grammar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-91654817044351251352008-07-07T16:46:00.000-07:002008-07-07T16:46:00.000-07:00the best way I can explain what I have got from co...the best way I can explain what I have got from coming here is the analogy of me as a wine taster vs a true wine connoisseur... <BR/><BR/>I had some appreciation for the finer things after having tasted all kinds of swill that had a bad aftertaste and gradually figuring out what I truly enjoyed.
