Why It's Tougher for Some to Focus on Christian Concerns Now Than in the 1st Century

I think it is because there are more distractions and competing agencies of socialization.Cellular telephones and television and automobiles formed a different culture where attention to one truth alone is not easy. The economic facts are more complicated too and isolate people socially within a mass culture even while conditioning them to things like Facebook, Twitter-headedness and so forth. Christians may work in liquor stores to support a family or encounter rock & roll ministers that don't have true faith yet want true middle class income. Popular video games like HALO are indirectly vicious anti-Christian propaganda and pro-evolutionary training tools. It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times.

How to Make Snow Ice Cream

Take a large bowl and pour in a little milk or half and half, some sugar, vanilla extract and add snow slowly stirring the mixture up until the ice cream is as you like it. 

I like to use about a half cup of milk and sugar, a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract and lots of snow to get a half quart of fresh ice cream that should be consumed with the stirring spoon, yet its according to taste obviously. Some people get radical with the ingredients or add more.

Undercounting the Homeless in Dallas-Plano

A Dallas radio station reported today that last night their was a metro area-wide count of the homeless for government purposes and that the number was approx. 600 seriously underestimating the actual number of homeless people.

When I flew into DFW recently and travelled to Plano to begin living in a tent, I discovered that it is challenging to find a place to safely put up a tent. Plano is a community sprawling north extending the greater Dallas area with expensive cloned homes with mal-designed steep roofs designed better for snow country roofed with asphalt shingles rather than solar photon collecting tiles. Little space is allowed to remain for wildlife (actually about none) though nice bike paths and green spaces are planned to let the entire community be a sort of poverty free middle class slum without homeless people, cheap motels or anything that would upset the aloof milieu. Homeless people may still be away from urban centers and living more like coyotes at the edges of town where they may dash in to try to find work occasionally.

In my humble opinion the actual number of homeless people in the Dallas/Plano area is more like 2000. Counters of homeless people only find the ones that are easy to locate rather than those that have some sense and try to remain out of sight of the violent automobile driving goons that prey upon the homeless to alleviate their sense of inferiority.

In the environmmentally mal-adaptive suburban sprawl of cloned 400,000 dollar clone homes even their human servo-units have adopted the ethos of purging poverty and environment to the shadows, and purging any unregulated tree caused shadows.

ISIS Accellerates Purge of Christian in Middle East- Trash St. Elijah's Monastery

ISIS reportedly destroyed the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq, or Kurdistan as the case or border may be, in Mosul. The structure was 1400 years old.


The monastery was previously destroyed by Tahmiz Nadir Shah of Persia in 1743. He also executed the monks living there at the time. ISIS at least destroyed an abandoned facility. Yet they apparently have no sense of aesthetic values, are inartistic and rudely annihilate ancient empty buildings that the economically excluded draw comfort from in reflecting upon the fact that the glitzy rich  buildings of now will also be dust someday along with the swells in them. Get a life ISIS-leave the world heritage sites alone.

Federal Budget Deficit to Rise in 2016

For the first time since the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the U.S. Federal budget deficit will rise relative to the economy. The deficit will reach nearly 3% of the nation's gross domestic product in 2016.

Increasing debts seem likely in the next decade as the economy and federal budget is rather ill-founded.

The continuing very slow oil price per barrel -just 27$ today, will ease the transition to a sustainable economy with lower comparative entropy and more efficiency if intelligent political leadership has a will to do so perhaps renewing U.S. independence economically speaking and leading the way bite example.Full employment,guaranteed minimum income and housing that is realistic environmentally offer opportune goals for a better society.

Integration, Disintegration and Equilibrium

I watched a physics video primer on equilibrium the other day and it made me think about the way basic chemical and molecular forms change in the context of larger systems. Equilibrium is a more or less balanced state of multi-component systems including space as a component in distinction to being. Change of a balanced state of equilibrium involves disintegration of that state and integration to another.

The parameters of chemical equilibrium may be analogous to larger systems comprising the entire universe as well as to language and social concepts about the nature of change and condition of the economic infrastructure of any given system. Space-time change is itself an integration of the complete complex to construct compresence while disintegrating the past simultaneously. Change of space-time itself means disintegration as well as integration. Humans may try to form a changeless social milieu, such as existed in ancient Egypt, and conservation is not always bad-especially if in a lifeboat. Life is a process of change even while some spiritual things and forms remain the same.

There are open and closed systems with relative states of equilibrium. Space-time evolution or change of physical systems along a time axis, with time being a subjective measurement of the systemic change, involves the disintegration of an existing comparative equilibrium and the integration of new components or component relationships toward a new equilibrium.  That new equilibrium is a status quo that is changed or evolved with additional disintegration of existing forms and relationships  through integration of new components.

Obviously with integration being a change of disintegration of an existing equilibrium the effect upon terms of political correctness can integrate new ideas that potentially may disintegrate a status quo-not invariably and undesirable evolution, yet neither a necessarily positive change.

Besides the onerous recognition that sometimes needs to be given to warriors of political correctness, the evolution of ideas to philosophically adapt them to correctly appreciate the nature of physical systems is positive, especially as one recognizes the boundaries for validity of the idea lexicons of equilibrium, integrating and disintegrating concepts.

If the steady state field of material built upon field quanta is over-all in a state of equilibrium gradually transitioning to a lower state of energy, there is a possibility that the entire field is a spiritual creation of God phenomenally given fundamental field values and laws of order. Spirit precedes membranes or monads of one-dimension that arise as ordered field wave fragments.

Phenomenality of Mind & Matter (poem)

Life pixels formed more

than shadowed wisps of memories

arranged freely like compositions

coalescent structures moving on

being themselves the content of time

within and without

disintegrations of sensibility

racing the content of change

toward present oblivion

where all things become the past

and pixels were attracted bits

spilled like Tom Bean's tomorrows

the A.I. existed in a space before

she evaporated through a loose expiration date

unencumbered without a predestined soul.
