- Why I wish to join The Temple & how I found out about it...
- I wish to join to acknowledge that this is a journey of enlighten-ment intended for all of humanity. While I began as a mainstream Christian, I like to follow Yeshua's example by finding as much reason to agree with others as I reasonably can, and I think we would all agree that we need all the help we can get with that.
- Which spiritual path do you follow?
- Christian mystic, conversant with many paths
- About Myself & My Interests...
- My favorite activities include just about any sports (in which I am playing,except hunting), reading, religion as a spiritual path (not dogma), and using my IT skills (in which I will also be working soon, I hope). It doesn't matter the "label" of the spiritual path, I am at least willing to compare notes but will reserve the right to my own decisions, thanks.
- My Teachers & Influences, What was it about them that influenced me?
- Yeshua ha-Mashiach; MacGregor Mathers; Spirit Ways Metaphysical (local area store). Well, I'm not ditching Yeshua after all THIS. As for Mr. Mathers, he filled in a few blanks for me in my own version of "Leonardo's puzzlebox" (the one always with me, that is). Spirit Ways Metaphysical filled in some blanks for me concerning Solomon's commentaries on the nature and properties of various herbs and minerals - I understand that the Jews removed a lot of that info about 1,000 years ago - to avoid persecution from the Catholic church, of course, but there may have been subsidiary reasons.
- Authors and/or Books I appreciate:
- Feist, Raymond: Eddings, David (& Leigh): A. C. Clarke: R. A Heinlein: Isaac Asimov & the other Foundation authors: Lawrence Watt-Evans: the Teachings of the Buddha: Sun Tzu's the Art of War: the Bhagavad Gita: Maya Magee Sutton's Druid Magic: D. J. Conway's Mystical Dragon Magick: the Bible (with apocrypha, both old and new testaments): Paul Edwin Zimmer: Paul Hazel's Finnbranch saga: Michael Berg's The Way (Qabalah): Israel Regardie's A Garden of Pomegranates: Max Handel's The Rosicrucian Mysteries: Silver Raven Wolf's Solitary Witch: MacGregor Mathers The Knights Templar/Key of Solomon (trans.): Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons (movies and books both): D.J. Conway's Maiden, Mother, and Crone: Kenyon & Sion's The Magdalene Manuscript: Uri Geller's Life Signs: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery Religion (forgot the author's name): Robert Feather's The Secret Initiation of Jesus at Qumran: The Manual of Discipline (trans.): Naomi Pasachoff's & Robert J.Littman's Hebrew History in 100 Nutshells: (uncle) Richard Crane's The Johannine Code: Jose Arguelles' The Mayan Factor and Carlos Barrios' The Mayan Book of Destiny.
- Musicians and/or Music I appreciate:
- Not (hate-mongering) rap, but just about anything else
- Films and/or Film-Makers & Actors I appreciate:
- Quite a few, BUT please note that while I appreciate any performer's individual ability and/or roles which they have played, this in no way indicates approval of any performer's personal proclivities. I HAVE noted, though, that some seem to show taste and individuality in that they only choose to participate in films with which they either agree or acknowledge that more awareness is needed in certain areas - Jurgen Prochnow, for instance.
- Artists and/or Art I appreciate:
- Just about any

Israel
I had, in the previous installment, covered the beginning of Israel as a nation, as well as pertinent considerations on the formation of Israel as a nation and tidbits from societies which pre-date Israel, since
Israel as such was not the beginning of humanity as a whole. Torah was written for Israel specifically, and any others who would choose to convert to it, as did a…

The Tower of Babel
Now, as to what started all of this mass confusion, I am certain that it’s roots begin in the event depicted in the Bible known as The Tower of Babel. Prior to that event, it is recorded therein that people lived lifespans totalling some years shy of 1,000 years, and that after the tower event, people’s spans began to shorten drastically. For the sake of debate, let…

This is a chronicle of some of the difficulties which I’ve had at Findley Commons with other tenants, primarily my two next-door “neighbors”, Kevin in #317 and Steven in #316.
5/24/22 Just during the first week I had two instances of trouble with Kevin in #317. Just three days after I had moved in on 5/16, Kevin had been displaying a horrid tendency of trying to run my life, so I started to tell him to quit doing that, as I had not yet realized that he had a chronic tendency…

Geez!
I didn't know my few words sounded so bad.
English is not complicated, it's easy.
Difficult is the Portuguese language.
I'm sorry one more time.

The site does not share the posted themes.
I follow my email as I join many sites.
Sorry, I didn't mean to charge you anything.
I just wanted to know if everything is ok with you.
If you're busy, you're fine.
I always wish the best for you.

How are you, Bill?
Your silence is worrying me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR BILL!
- At 3:59pm on November 27, 2022,
Dear Bill,
I am as I can be. We are going through a government transition phase with many problems.
My health remains stable.
I hope and much success with your treatment.
Health is very important at any stage of life.
Thank you for always communicating with me.
Now is a very beautiful time to celebrate with friends.
Christmas parties and New Year.
We go to him with high hopes.
Hugs.

Hi Bill,
I really enjoy writing to you.
This holiday season I have a lot of work. I make many themes for websites, programming codes for each of them, images, tutorials, most of them have to be translated...
I don't have time for anything, but it's good.
I like your clarifications. I like to learn. Knowledge has no place and I agree with you, everyone gets paid for what they do and I have no prejudice against anything.
I can't stand wicked people.
Hugs, dear friend.

Hi Bill,
We call it in Brazil "Dia das Bruxas".
The term "Halloween" is also very pervasive. There are companies in the decoration business.
I only celebrate on the Internet. I make themes and images and play with friends.
My family never celebrated and neither did I after the wedding created the habit.
Before October 31st, we have October 30th. There will be another election for president because it was not defined in the first round. Likewise for state governor.
That's what I'm worried about.
I know you are sensitive and understanding too.
Beware of the witches' shenanigans...
- At 4:05pm on October 26, 2022,
Bill,
Trust yourself. You're doing well. You are looking to solve problems.
We all have problems and we have to try to find a way out.
I try to solve mine too.
Send news whenever you want.
A big hug
