AT LAND'S END!

This is a short video of a trip to Land's End, Britain, on a lovely sunny day in July 2019. If you are in a position to make a visit there, it should prove a thrilling experience; all things being equal. 1

AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 46.

But they are also able to present or transform themselves into becoming other humans, birds and animals. So, when my dear mother has a bad dream, as it has now transpired to be, repeatedly, and wakes up greatly distressed and believing that she has encountered a terrible incident.  What is she to make of it and what should others, like me, make of it? Is it 'real' or is it an 'imaginary event'? Is our dreams 'real' or are they 'imaginary'?  Of course it is likely to be legitimate to argue that our dreams are real events, occurring in 'dream land.'  Being the result of electrical and chemical fusions taking place in our partially paralysed bodies, to prevent us suffering harm by being too physically mobile in our dreams.  So, yes, my dear mother is not wrong when she challenges me to refute my suggestion that it must be duppy that is disturbing her.  To be continued!

So, why do they contrived to make it appear that such a thing was not only possible, in the case of you and Mary Magdalene, but that it actually happened? G.: You know, T, that you and I have had this kind of discussion before. So, what do you want me to tell you about what others have said about me, and, indeed, Mary and Joseph?  Do you want me to admit to what they have said, or to deny it? I mean, T, nobody, be they believers of non-believers, can say, I, God, said this or that.  The Bible makes mention of "an angel of the Lord." It did not say which angel, neither did it give an account of how that angel came to know such a thing.  And yes, T, I do know that you are thinking about whether angels ever existed, and if so, do they still exist... And well you might.  I can understand and even appreciate why your intellect is leading you along what is, in fact, a logical path.  To be continued!

It does not matter to my dear mother that that person does not have any real motive for wanting to do her harm.  This is not a matter of being able to provide any credible proof or evidence that  that person and/or their agents should want to harass my dear mother.  Her belief that it is that person is enough; for her, even though I, in the absence of evidence, cannot take her conclusion and side with her. Yes, it does not matter that, unless you have a strong belief in the  improbable ability of your fellow human.   To deconstruct his/her physicality and transform themselves into some kind of spiritual entity that can secrete themselves through wall to come and torment you.  Then, it is not logically conceivable for a person to be physically entering your home to torment you, but without opening a door or window to enter. Yes, as 'Duppies' are believed to be able to do. Indeed, not only are Duppies, let us say, the souls of dead people, consider

G.: Mmmmm! Which undoubtedly takes you back to what has reportedly or reputedly happened on the night that I or my agent visited Mary and her intended husband, Joseph, in the night and seduced her. T.: That it does, G. I mean, I am aware that legend has it that the gods of old. You know, G, imaginary deities whom my human ancestors have contrived and venerated.  Yes, like yourself, G. Have reputedly consorted with and seduced my ancestors, resulting in them giving birth to 'demigods.'  But that, G, has been accepted for what it really is; fables, stories. They are not taken seriously except when we are of the understanding that we wish to treat them as if.   As it they were real and actual events which took place in 'reality' and not in the imagination of the great story formulators and tellers.  Why, even the authors, the prophets and scribes who would have us believe, G, that you had seduced Mary Magdalene and cause her to give birth to the one

JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - THE PROBLEM WITH DEMOCRACY, IS...!

The problem with 'democracy' is that some would argue that there are no problems with 'democracy.' 'Democracy', they would argue, is pure and virtuous.  'Democracy', they would contend, is like the 'Virgin Mary', like the 'Mother of God', virtuous and without equals or parallels among the different forms of governing people and their countries.  For them, 'democracy' is without peers, peerless and immaculate. It is the most 'fair', 'whitest' and fairest, most enlightened of form of the different systems of governing the people of each and every country. But the problem with 'democracy'' is that this is a very big lie; that 'democracy' is the best form of all the systems of governing and ruling a people.  Yes, 'democracy' can, indeed, be a good system for making decisions regarding how people are governed. But it is certainly not ipso fact the best system of governi
