Thank you for being a lamplight of reason and continually shining a light on important questions and, despite the issues we are facing, remaining solution-oriented. I salute you! 🙏✨🥳
I appreciate your brightly burning, inextinguishable flame of freedom. The concept has been my motivation since teen years. Haven't studied philosophies, I'm a natural man, appreciative of my gifts and talents, and yearning to bring them to bear in the real world.
The real world is incredibly, as in one-can-not -believe, evil. We live in an era where one's intellectual property can be stolen from one's mind, as well as one's computers. We live in a world where nothing is safe, or sacred, where daily, evil is demonstrably in the driver's seat, where a life can be extinguished without a thought, except malice afore thought, and without notice.
"peace will win the day. There is an equally reasonable case that tyranny deserves a forceful response,"
I agree with both phrases.
The rational mind percieves the fact that violence can not outdo the violence with which we are faced. Check out the disappearing news stories of Lahaina and Hiway 91, the Las Vegas "sniper". They're indicative of the methods and technology this totally corrupted government structure will deploy to achieve whatever the ends of the moment are.
"Tyranny deserves a forceful response", as well does injustice. I've been in circumstances where I felt compelled to respond in that manner, but realized that violence is self-destructive, even when an entity is capable of and willing to engage in endless violence. We're faced with an enemy, which has made us it's enemy, which is in possession of space-based mind-invasive anti-personnel weapons. We can be turned to dust in a nanosecond. Choose your weapons: AR's? STICKS? Rocks? Where's the target? What's the target?
My response has been to develop control over my mind, to choose my responses, to develop a Silent, constructive, resilient mind. I've also experienced enough inexplicable aid during my quest to appreciate the fact that there's a beneficent Superpower providing whatever was needed when it was needed. Don't Know if it's GOD of the Bible, but to me, it's the LORD of ALL. And I KNOW I'm connected.
Blessed are warriors who are given the chance of a battle like this, which calls for them to do what is right, and opens the gates of Heaven. If you are killed, you gain heaven; triumph you gain the earth.
God is the word/sound we speak to salute alpha/omega, the One beyond time/space, our Creator whose essence may lie beyond our human ken but to whom we submit in humility, patience, and prayer. We bend the knee to no human, only God, whether through organized religion or private need. And fuck 'em if they can't handle it.
Proud to know you here Christopher. Thanks for your work and the depth of knowledge, reason and wisdom mixed with good humor. A common theme in your work is resilience and I really appreciate that. Happy Friday brother!
NICE! This makes me think of what I am playing this Sunday. They are talking about Christianity verses Humanism with a strong bent toward humanism. I was going to choose a Christian piece to balance out all the humanism (haha,) We are already featuring three humanist hymns and the speaker is a humanist. But I landed on this one instead. I found it in the back of my Scribner's Music Library book. It's the operatic version of the poem. I only found one version of it being sung online and it does not do it justice.
INVICTUS
Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
I am beefing up the piano part and adding a little Rachmaninoff to it. It will be "boomy" :) in the bass line, as it should be. I am adding more chords and some more glissando for effect. No one will be expecting it. That makes me want to go practice now.
Thank you for your good work. I appreciate you. You are one of the first people I actually engaged with here, and took seriously. You helped me to understand a few things a little better. I appreciate that. Also, when you recommend music, I do not skip it! I will never forget your original encouragement.
Jural -The principles of natural and positive rights recognized by law.
Jural pertains to the rights and obligations sanctioned and governed by positive law or that law which is enacted by proper authority. Jural doctrines are founded upon fundamental rules and protect essential rights and duties.
Jural principles are not the same as moral principles. Moral doctrines encompass the entire range of ethics or the science of behavior. Jural doctrines include only those areas of moral conduct that are recognized by law.
Jural denotes the state or an organized political society. Nay assembly.

jural - of or relating to law or to the administration of justice.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
(1) dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and
(2) to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
(3) declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
