Mosaic of a Roman Comedy Mask The Matter of Comedy | Friday – September 4, 2026 S hould we be laughing? Why are people so obsessed with the matter of comedy anyways? First of all, I am someone who seldom engages in the art of comedy, mostly because of its strong political angle and tilt; I will however say that there are many absurd things about the world that truly deserves to be uncovered, and I suppose that comedy indeed has a role to play in any society to that end, to that end. The problem with modern comedy is that it is mostly nothingness punctuated by failure, and this can be said about these people who engage in what they call "stand up comedy" in particular. Since when should talking aimlessly until you happen to come upon an idea qualify for anything? It seems to me that these people would have been better off just guessing, which is what they are doing half of the time anyways. I suppose comedians of that kind are similar to the bastard poets in these so-called ...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Concerning Interfaith Matters | Thursday – September 3, 2026 I nterfaith matters or issues regarding the relationship between people of the same faith that belong to different orders or denominations is an issue that sometimes comes up here in the modern day, although I should admit that it seems to me that issues of this kind seem less common these days. At any rate, I am going to attempt to provide some advice and guidance to one of my readers in this post regarding exactly that matter, and then also another matter, which I will return to below.

Again, at this point I still have some letters left to cover, but ...

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Shiva ( शिव ) drinking the kalakuta ( कालकूट ) Avoiding | Wednesday – September 2, 2026 I n life we often seek to avoid uncomfortable truths and conditions, and this can often go so far as to create within us a kind of insanity, mostly because our attempts of avoiding the inevitable, such as death, creates a kind of depersonalization, and so we become disconnected from nature, read " Disintegration ". Really, there is also an individualism present in this anxiety and this struggle to avoid, because today people lead their lives as if they have no destiny, as if they have no role and no place in the universe, read " Hierarchy "; instead men are lead to believe that everything in this complete closed system, read " Modern Civilization ", is within their reach, if they only bother to apply the correct mechanical procedures to get their, and so it is easy to put the blame on each individual for their faults, and conversely it is just ...

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Personal Disintegration | Tuesday – September 1, 2026 P ersonal Disintegration is quite a painful thing to experience, but it is something that I have faced many times in my life, and it is something that I am currently going through, read " Despair ". I am facing multiple problems at once, including my diseased gallbladder , and all of these things have served to make my life rather miserable, but still I am here and still I have a certain mission, read " Dreaming ", and at the moment I feel distant from my mission, and from my purpose. In the end, we may conclude that a completely closed and mechanical system requires no God , and that we should be happy in this mechanical delusion , if it was that simple that is. Of course, it is not that simple, and even most profane scientists would admit to this, but they would also distance themselves from any perception of "suspect" sympathies, but this is a story for...
