What do you consider to be the nature of reality?
If you think that endless debating and the flexing of one’s ego (which some of you might call “masculinity”) puts you in a position of superiority – then all I can do is kindly laugh in your face – then bow out with jovial good sportsmanship.
Don't look at me. I don't even know why I'm here most of the time.

You commented on an asinine post reviving a thread from six months ago?

Btw, I like the coded allusions to 9/11:

six = 666
write = underwrite = pull
7 = Building 7
WTF = World Trade Fenter (sic, Center)

The devil destroyed Building 7 of the World Trade Center. Whoa, heavy.

To add to the hurt:

Tomas is a Freemason so I'd say he replies to "What do you consider to be the nature of reality?" with the reply "7". Makes perfect sense in that context.

But perhaps he's watching his stack of serial killer movies again, who knows.

I guess that tells me all I'll ever need to know about Freemasons.

Since you asked.. LOL

Freemasonry could be said to be the "science of symbolism". They're 'obsessed' with researching, referring, adhering or paying respect to anything resonating with their complex system of numbers, symbols, rites and rituals.

Seven certainly is underlying the nature of many of our most basic systems: 7 days of the week, 7 notes in a scale, etc. Remains of ancient obsessions or are numbers less unreal than our other inventions?

Naw, simply had a thought in mind regarding mr. helms's post INRE the 'quest for happiness' and somehow, an inadvertent key had been hit. Meant to hit the 'save" - not the "submit" icon... duhhh

So, mr. hodges, calm down already...


Not a lot of pressure is exerted on the new-fangled models. Grew up with a manual typewriter and a used one at that... family didn't have access - nor could afford an electric.

The 1950's in North Dakota were bizarro-ville.

The 2000's in California are bizarro-ville.



-tomas further drivels-
Much can be said of all the yapping that continued after my-bad keystroke incident.

There is a reason why I halted at the (Prince of Jerusalem) 16 Degree of Free Mason Scottish Rite... the occult begins at Degree-17 and not interested for the quasi-religio of it all. Surpassed the Degree whereas must aid and comfort a Fellow Mason (and various affiliations and offshoots) who finds himself facing legal predicaments - and that! - has been the difficult part to tip-toe around (turning a blind eye to morally reprehensible behaviors) that I'd not known ever existed...

Tis the real reason why giving up being a political consultant (specializing in winning elections at any cost for either political Dem-Rep slant) because one reaches a 'breaking point' whereby conscience (con-science) comes to the forefront...

Suffice for now, i've money for 10 lifetimes but still counsel at domestic violence shelters and clean floors, toilets, sinks, windows whatever at homeless shelters plus serve sandwiches at soup kitchens... even before i "be-came" a Free Mason. And i don't take tax deductions either.



All your going on about Free Mason has a mustard seed of faith about it but not much substance. It's not what you think, nor write here about, it's simple philosophy.

Oh sure! That doesn't mean the quasi-religio occult wasn't interested in you by then...

Who knows you may have been progressed to 32 and then brainwashed again to make you think it was just 16. Those occultists are all quite loopy, who knows? I'd say it's just the same sequence 1-16 in repeat so you haven't missed anything crucial.

I do respect your principled voluntary work though, great path.

If it's just philosophy, it doesn't make sense not to write about it here. Why are you here anyway? I think you have more to tell.

It's the seventh month of the seventh year of the 3x7th century. Wait for the last days of July and the number 7 will really drive home its point.... pay attention! (if there's anything to number theory at all, that is).

freemasonry is mostly the worship of Lucifer and seeks to usurp government, society and the world. Britain is perhaps 80% run by freemasons, with America coming in at a 70% I'd say.

concerning happiness, I'm sure everyone would be much happier if they were billionaires, I certainly would be.
