Well, yes, I guessed that, but that's not specific enough for what we have here.

A difficulty is secularism triumphed so long ago in the West simply asserting a specificity becomes almost the finger pointing at Satan where everyone is hung up on name ignoring the actual. In Zen we ignore the finger pointing and see the moon. Our mountain of evil has a supernatural quality surrounding it, an Occultism. So from a Christian view our Epstein's are Satanic in evil actions even if they do not have rituals and wear special garments. From a secular psychological view merely psychopaths no hint of sulphur. So Berdyaev says like the ancient pre-Christian world our modern world knows no Christian revelation and is gripped by many demonic ideations. All is fate. Death final.

Dropped it off a few posts. Pondering kofi tools. This month has not had too many (contrast to past two) gifts so I thought for a week or so see if people subscribe. Or not. :) Other directed right now as the anticipated pay check for home health has become a paper on a bureaucrat's desk working 2 hours a day per week. She has five people reporting new clients and her job is to approve hours. Until hours are approved no hour submission allowed reporting 17 hours each week for $19.00 per hour. First check takes 14 days. You sign up for direct deposit immediately of course for next pay day so your second pay check goes live right away. So I complained last Thursday that 3 weeks had gone by for an easy case approval. And was told by the clerk my urgent need was understood and she would bring it up in the one on one she was having to report on cases pending.

Yes, no one can do anything, turn up to work, be on time, open the shop.

Because Covid.

Stegiel, your Kofi option has dropped off.

Maybe I have not kept up and you are now going for subscriptions, and I will subscribe of course, but just checking.

I think that yours is a wonderful Substack at getting to the threat to our minds and whatever it is that makes us human.

I've done the pledge thing but you might later on add some Kofi.

You know, sharing an occasional chat over coffee.

Yes for some reason I have technical difficulty doing so. The logo does not come up and ought. So this is part of my kofi dive.

Mmmm, those Brits think that they are immune (LOL) to being hoodwinked.

This presenter has not touched on the urgency re the impending CBDC.

All very clever and well enunciated but Nah!

He won't save anyone. The Brits' sense of superiority won't overcome this lot.

Interested in the idea of current "polydemonism".

Don't know what it means but it seems like it might be onto something.
