The Chocolate Cup (1878) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir Chocolate | Tuesday – November 10, 2026 T hey say that Chocolate is a happy flavor, and I suppose that this is true, but only to the extent that we allow ourselves to be completely controlled by the whims of our basic and degenerated biology, read " Never Trust Your Body! ", because really, Chocolate in its natural and "wild" form is really quite the opposite of a "happy flavor", and I suppose too that Chocolate is a rather childish flavor, and yes there is nothing wrong in this, for this is merely an observation, an observation not so much about the world but rather about a flavor. Now, allow me to get real for a moment, they say too, the profane scientists, that food must be nutritious and not merely childish and invoking of a happy feeling, and this is true, and quite often it is the case that food that is good, food that is nutritious is not the most happy inducing kind of food, usually because nutriti...

Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 19 | Sunday – November 8, 2026 E xcellent results are indeed what I must admit that this " Bible Study series " has been able to produce thus far, which has made me completely delighted and happy. I believe too that I can say with a great deal of confidence that this Bible Series has been rather gracious, and that I have been quite able to not judge as much as to stand as an example of what to do, as opposed to what to not do. Really, most people these days appear to suffer from some kind of annoying and painful inability to act in a way which makes them fresh and clean, true to their own ideals and without impurity. Really, modernity has made it so, that most men are today accepting an ever more certain aspect of compromise and pollution in their life, something that is quite sad, and something that I feel should make most men ashamed, but then again most moderns have been thought to never feel shame, that it is q...
