* Nothing is, or is as it is, unless someone says and judges it to be so. Who then is (or who is it we say is) the judge, including the final judge?
* If we ever experienced a problem anywhere, it came about, in some degree, due to certain wrong assumptions, either co-present with, or just prior to the given problem's actually taking place.
* Unless you believe in God, the One, and or the infinite, every assumption is contingent.
* PROCESS (or if you prefer spirit, or activity) PRECEDES IMAGE. Image may, to some extent, (and sometimes almost perfectly) represent process. But process is always superior to and always more real than image. If process precedes image this might suggest also that mind precedes matter and energy.
* Everything we believe, or say we know, is based on a factual or value judgment. Both kinds of judgment always entail the other to some extent, and nothing can be known or exists for us without them.
* No fact or purported fact is true or false without someone to assert and believe it to be such. If an assertion or claim is deemed true or false then, and we are thorough, we should ask who is it that says so (or has said so), and what criteria are (were) they using? There is no such thing as "faceless" truth or reality -- at least none we are capable of knowing.
* You can't escape reason. If you aren't rational yourself, someone else will be rational for you; nor do their intentions toward you need to be friendly or benevolent.
* Every point of view and opinion has its truth to it -- even the most abhorrent and unacceptable to us. This said, we are naturally inclined to assume that some opinions have much greater truth to them than others. Even so, what little truth there is in any point of view must, at least at some juncture, and certainly with respect to issues of heated controversy, be justly and reasonably respected. Why? Because we would not be honest (and therefore not truthful) if we didn't.
*Ultimately, and when all is said and done, thought without heart is nothing.
* Most, if not all, of society's very worst problems arise from (certain) spirit people and those who listen to them -- whether the former comes in the shape of "God," angel, devil or what have you. It is these people who are most the source and cause of real unhappiness. If then you chance to have contact with such, while having (one assumes) overcome their lures, deceptions, and pretenses of benevolence and higher knowledge, I recommend that this (i.e., "unhappiness" or "unhappiness itself") is what you call them. Blame and curse them for (most) everything wrong; for it is it is they who have been and are the ruin of everyone and everything (that is, if anyone is or could be said to be so.)

I have observed in the criminal spirit person and his regular person "henchmen" who have been routinely bothering me and causing me problems of one kind or other that it seems as if they are hooked up to what we might call or refer to as a kind of negative energy (perhaps in some great or small measure sexually related) that excites and impels them to wrong doing, and that they will do things wrong because of this energy. The intensity of the effect of this energy on their behavior varies not unlike how we think of the weather being changing and variable. So using the analogy of weather, if the "weather" is stormy they will be more likely to act up, but as to why the weather is stormy or not is hard to say. One of the things most significant about this phenomenon is that often times people will try to solve crimes like murder (or much lesser crimes) by looking for what we think of as predictable explanations or motives; such as robbery, sexual passion, or jealousy for example. But what some police and others investigating the given murder do not understand is that although the mundane motive is present and very real, it is not that which brought about the crime. Rather it was a combination of BOTH this aforesaid negative energy AND the mundane motive. The mundane motive, even if it were say sexual passion, would not by itself have brought about the killing. Instead it was crucially necessary that this negative or demonic energy be present also.
It is not unlike a disease that causes these people to act up, even if there is or isn't a motive otherwise for them to do so; though naturally a secondary mundane motive can or will be understandably effective in inciting them all the more. The mistake often made however is that the mundane motive is assumed to be the primary one when really it plays only a secondary, albeit perhaps important, role.
From whence then does this negative or "demonic" energy arise? It comes from having truck or consorting, whether indirectly or directly, with witchcraft and or criminal spirit people, and who are typically seen as authority and or benevolent figures (say like a narcotics pusher but who is your "friend.")
(Thinking especially of those who download movies to have them transferred to DVD), if you haven't seen it already don't miss "Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole" (1972), starring Susan Hayward in her last film; a medical soap-opera with a clever and better than usual script (and with, incidentally, theme song sung by Dusty Springfield.)

["Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole (1972)"]
[ch. 34]
...Now, if a Jew should split words, and say that the words are not, “Lo, a virgin,” but, “Lo, a young woman,” we reply that the word “Olmah”— which the Septuagint have rendered by “a virgin,” and others by “a young woman”— occurs, as they say, in Deuteronomy, as applied to a “virgin,” in the following connection: “If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; then you shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbour's wife.” And again: “But if a man find a betrothed damsel in a field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: but unto the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in her no sin worthy of death.”
~ Origen (c. 184-c. 253), Contra Celsus, Book I
"Now I am one of them"
I just happened to learn of Isaac Kappy watching one of Adam Green's "Know More News" YouTube casts earlier today. Kappy, a film actor and a self-described illuminati-Hollywood whistle blower or informer, reportedly took his life in Nov. 2018. This is a video he did a few days before his death. It is of interest, among other reasons, as a testimony of someone who found himself drawn into unspecified wrong doing and which he subsequently and sorely regretted. It is not by any means clear quite what that wrong doing was, yet his statement does even so provide an interesting and informative insight into the psychology and mindset of one entertainment insider who by his own account went wrong.

This is my recommendation of things and people sundry which others may have missed. For some these will already be well known, but for others less so. It is for these last that the suggestion is proffered.
Since its inception, posting the "recommendation of the week," although much fun along the way, has also become a bit of an inconvenient chore requiring a regular schedule. Meanwhile, but more importantly, since I effectively (aside from the above mentioned exception) receive no feedback on them (or on this website generally), I can't think it warrants the personal investment any longer to keep it going. In addition to lack of feedback, I simply don't have the extra money (I feel) necessary to explore different music, movies, books etc. -- in turn necessary to maintain the span, color, and variety of the selections, taking the list as a whole. Consequently, unless and until I do ever finally get feedback and or "somehow" come
into some funds, the "recommendation of the week" at present (as of August 2009) has been discontinued.
Otherwise and as an expedient, what I intend to do in future in its place is post or mention music, movies, books etc. among my regular "Oracles;" as inspiration moves me or of unusually special interest comes up; something, of course, I already have, to some extent at least, been doing for some time.

Well, I would be certainly if I wasn't being black-balled, blacklisted, and my communications routinely tampered with. This is pitiful I know, and I have put off doing this literally for years. But now is the time for it to be known that if anyone will send me money I'll take it. And if truth be told, the more money I have the more of a wallop I can put to these Hell people (certainly they don't want me having any, and have and will gyp and short change me just about whenever they can.) So please consider giving to this website if you can at all possibly afford it. Proceeds also go to assist the Institute for Ben Turpin Studies. So far I have sold only one book at my "Bookshop;" so it is not at all impossible that even if you try what you might send won't be allowed to get through to me. If this happens -- oh well, thanks anyway! (Also, by the way, if you try to send money, whether by Pay Pal or otherwise, and for some reason I don't receive it or am prevented from doing so please report this to Social Security; because interference of my receiving such or other funds or donations goes clearly against Social Security's understandable wish that I no longer be a dependent on them if possible.)
Also, my e-mail for sending donations through Pay Pal is: wts@gunjones.com
