Tom’s Tall Tales Told Truthfully -
Part 7 -

RE: Regis’ - The Universal Language -

REG - my first thought was that if there is any universal language, it is MUSIC - said to soothe the savage beast - but then, when you delve a tad deeper - is not Music a complex form of Mathematics?

Which then perhaps is both a Science, as well as Applied Linguistics -

If everything in the Universe is ENERGY - and Thoughts become Energy, and
Energy = All things --> E = Mc2 --> then Love is also a form of Energy -->

Ergo, if God Is Love, then could Love be the Ultimate Universal Language?

Like the others said; DEEP !!! A good exercise for the grey matter!

Peace, Tom.

So glad you go the positive outlook now. I try to be positive, but sad sometimes. I really liked the words to this write. It tells me lots of things I should be doing and am not. Thanks for posting this for us.

I Need to Feel Positive, for both you and Me!

Good, because I sure can't find very many things to be positive about right now. Keep Up The Good Vibes, and the Good Work!

MY REPLIES:

LIZ - thank you, M'Dear!

Believe it or not, last night had difficulty sleeping, cold and sneezing etc. - put my old tape in player - your rexation and affirmation stuff - had not used it for more than a year!

As I listened to my own voice spouting those detailed instructions, and knew they all came from YOU - almost every part tied in with "The SECRET" -

Between my wake-up call with Health, and renewing with these principles, am now working on getting back on track for SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Thanks again, DOLL !!! Tk.


Dear Lady of Lace:

thank you for your kind words - Hope you are feeling well!

TK.


ED -

SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND!

You just reminded me of an old Grace before meals:

"God is Great - God is Good -
Let us Thank Him for our Food!"

AMEN ???
LOIS - You are as Welcome as the flowers in May!

Glad it helps! Tom.

Just Once in your tedious tenure -

1. Remove your Head from your Rectum!
2. Gargle with Listerine!
3. Save the HOMEOWNERS! Each and Every Monthly Mortgage Payment will in turn, put Money back into those failing Financial entities - SLOWLY, but SURELY!
4. JAIL the CROOKED CEO's! Confiscate their Ill-earned PAYOLA!

COMMON SENSE MUST BE EMPLOYED -
NOT FURTHER CORPORATE GREED AND STUPIDITY!

Reply to JOHN -

JOHN - yet another GRAND OLD NAME!

YES, those days of youth & innocence - before we learned to question and over-analyze everything!

During my hospital stay last month, a priest came to my room when it was dark and quiet, and I was SCARED - a Confession & Communion felt REALLY GOOD!

Although it had been many many years, the words from Rote memory flowed effortlessly - a good Act of Contrition -

when Father Chris left, I was no longer ALONE ---

Pax Tecum - Tom.

==================================================

ED - well thank you, Mate!

Rightly, or wrongly - it was an idea that came from deep in the heart, and just had to be expressed.

I spent 16 years as a volunteer in the choir at The Cathedral of MARY OUR QUEEN, here in Baltimore, and believe me - we always made a JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD - AND HIS MOTHER!

While I no longer pay homage to the hierarchy and mystique of the Church Proper - I do miss the Pomp and Ceremony - the Ritual - the Concept of WORSHIP - the inner Quietude of BELIEF of something GREATER than ourselves.

Dominus Vobiscum! Tom.

Re: My Article - DEVIL’S ADVOCATE -

“Where in Roman History does JC appear?
Reply to Keith Rowley: 10-02-08 -

Pontius Pilate and Jesus

A major socio-political development during the reign of Tiberius and Sejanus was the Judean governorship of Pontius Pilate, and the emergence of Jesus Christ and the Christian religion that followed. Not only would the story grow into the most overwhelming religious force in the western world, but it also provides an important indication of the independent power of Sejanus and the contrasting imperial policy of Tiberius' tenure.

Skipping down several paragraphs:

Though the facts of the historical Jesus and the life of Pilate are debatable, it is quite clear that had Jesus lived, he would've faced crucifixion after the fall of Sejanus. By late 36 Pilate had been recalled to Rome, though perhaps fortunately for him, Tiberius died while he was en route. By that reasoning the historical Jesus must have been crucified between 32 and 36 AD. Regardless, of the 'truth' of the matter, the story of the Christ spread from this point and throughout the Roman world. Initially under the missions of men such as James and Paul, the fledgling faith spread first among the Jews than into the eastern provinces. Under Peter, Christians began to appear in Rome and within approximately 400 years, the cult that started under mysterious circumstances during the reign of Tiberius, and Sejanus, was the dominate faith of the western world. As for Pilate, after his recall from Rome, virtually no evidence exists of his fate. Stories of his conversion to Christianity, suicide out of guilt or to avoid punishment are completely unverifiable and Pilate disappears from the historical record with the passing of Tiberius.

Here is the website Address:

Note that the Home Page is: www.unrv.com


If you enjoy Roman History, at NETFLIX you can rent the HBO series - ROME - which I thoroughly enjoyed. It bears an amazing resemblance to the History of Rome, as presented at this particular Website.

Hope this info helps. Tom.

Re: Mary’s comments to my - Mother Mary -

Hi GRAND OLD Mary!

like the story of Christ saving the adulteress -
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone!"

WHAT IF - Mary had been stoned to Death?
NO JESUS - end of Story!

Life as we know it now, might be quite different, huh?

Re: Mr. ED’s - Brother To Them All -

ED - WOW! THANK YOU!

I never ever heard of, or read the CANTICLES before, and I love it! As soon as I read your tribute in the beginning, I immediately thought of St. Francis - then Lo & Behold, the statement at the bottom.

If there is ever to be a THIRD SAINT of ECOLOGY -

I VOTE FOR Y-O-U !!!

What have I done lately to help animals? Not much - in fact, very little - but each day I do click the FREE FOOD . Pet Paws - and about a month ago, I realized I have a new Roommate in my trailer - a fat little tan-colored FIELD MOUSE.
OOPS! Correction for above - . animalrescuesite.com !!!

Thank God I live alone, as a woman's first inclination would be to set some TRAPS and KILL that little sucker! But, there's plenty of room for two, and while cleaning and moving things this Friday past, I found several EMPTY peanut shells on the floor in the corner of the kitchen. So, now I know where to occasionally say OOPS! and drop a morsel or two!

In Honor of the fat lil mouse in Cinderella, I just named him GUS! Winter is coming, and as long as he doesn't leave me any 'presents' in my own personal eating areas - we will celebrate a TRUCE!

Maybe I'll use this info to write a little ditty - GUS N' ME - we'll see!

Peace - Tom.

Re: My - Who Am I? -

CHANTI - THANK YEW - DARLIN'!

LINK - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chantilly_lace

GO READ THIS! Here is a part:

"Chantilly lace is a handmade bobbin lace named for the city of Chantilly,[1] France, dating from the 17th century,[2][3] though the most famous are silk laces introduced in the 18th century. Though named for Chantilly, France, most of the lace bearing this name was actually made in Bayeux in France and Geraardsbergen, now in Belgium.[4][5][6]"

Hi Karen Lynn Vidra, The Texas Tornado:

YEP - WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!

For a month now, since hospital - have worked hard on changing habits - Eliminated a few BAD ones - less COFFEE, less WHITE breads, less GREASY foods & greasy WESTERN FRIES with melted CHEDDAR (really miss these guys, not even ONE in a month), less cane sugar, LESS IS MORE!

ADDED a lot of good ones - more Water, Fruit, Veggies, Juices, Soy milk, Soy butter, Soy crackers, Rice crackers, GREEN TEA, Honey, Agave Nectar, and more ...

Now shop . Trader Joe's & Whole Foods - tad more expensive, but healthier, and I like both stores - variety blows my mind!

And guess what - KNEES have been BETTER too! NO PAIN PILLS for bursitis for a whole month - SOMETHING must be more GOODER!

OH - YEAH - I hereby give you Special Dispensation for playin' Hookey from Church - SAY 3 Our Fathers - 53 Hail Marys (a Rosary) - 1 Glory Be - spin around 3 times - click your heels - eat 2 Apples - and CALL ME IN THE MORNIN'!

Two things resonate for me, from your T T T T:

COMMON SENSE MUST BE EMPLOYED -
NOT FURTHER CORPORATE GREED AND STUPIDITY!

If only millions in our once great nation could return to simple common sense, we might still have a chance.

And, Gus N' Me. I'd love to read a story about you and Gus! I happen to like little field mice, they are extremely resourceful, and with all the furry pet critters around my home, I often find myself rescuing a little mouse or two from their clutches. And one particular crafty little field mouse has taken over my backyard garden. And all summer long, he has waited for just the right moment to snatch some of my perfectly ripened tomatoes. He won't even touch them until they are luciously ripe and ready, and he and I have had many games of 'Snatch the Tomato From The Vine,' all summer long!
