I am not a scientist
In the same way
I am thrilled I do not
Cling to religious dogma
Where non proof
Seems to be both’s
Belief of a Holy Grail
Either in an invisible man
Or the nauseous notion
Of a beginning Big Bang
Recently the James Webb telescope
“Discovered” more galaxies
Even further away than imagined
(Not mine, my imagination
Is already there and beyond)
Causing the scientists to
Readjust their calculations
On the actual age of the universe
Instead of acknowledging its
Infinite infinity-ness that keeps
Being proven over and again
“Infinity is so big, that everything that has ever happened, on earth in the exact same order, down to………. that … pause has happened an infinite number of times, all through out the universe.
Everywhere in space, there is a you, making the same colossal f**king errors, that you’ve made your entire life.
So if anybody ever tells you, you can do better. Go, apparently not.”
That’s infinity.”
Joe Rogan
Which is just as bad as religion
Trying to convince people of
A more definitive description
Of a divine deity that decides
One’s fate based on behavior
Or…… random circumstances
That “he” needs challenge you
Along with all of the other
Eight billion he’s keeping his eyes on
Not to mention weather patterns
Earthquakes, forest fires, icy roads
Sporting events and Golden Globes
Maybe the scientists could turn
Their $10B, yes Ten Billion Dollar
Toy around and focus it on the
Earthly inhabitants and what
They are up to in their so called
Godlike treatment of each other
Oops just realized it is Godlike
“Hey if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death.
Has been for thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, all taking turns killing each other because God told them it was a good idea.”
– George Carlin
Forget blaming God, for it is upon the realization that humans have a tendency to try and objectively kill outside of themselves, what they do not like inside, in spite of themselves.
From Rush “Territories”
“The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don’t feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can’t really feel
What international means
In different circles,
We keep holding our ground
Indifferent circles,
We keep spinning round and round”
While it would be fun to consider
Myself a logician and a pragmatist
Turns out either of their existence
Is still, get this, based on belief
Which is substantial as nothing
Yet, am so glad I am just me

Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

This is a follow-up to
Confusion. Skirl. Period.
“That’s another complaint of mine: too much use of this prefix “pre.” It’s all over the language now: pre-this, pre-that, “place the turkey in a pre-heated oven…” It’s ridiculous! There are only two states an oven can possibly exist in: HEATED OR UNHEATED! Pre-heated” is a meaningless fucking term!”
– George Carlin
Sorry George
Just to pre-state
My pre-defense
Prior to the PC-Police
Prisoning my person
From the perceived
Poison of the use
Of the word “broad”
In the word broadcasters
Technically I guess
I was trying to be punny
However, I was not trying
To be sexist or misogynistic
Rather more gender equitable
By not using sexist monikers
Of the common usage of words
Like woman, female, she and her
Having that Handmaid’s Tale
Poor quality of being Of-men
Instead of the yin and yang nature
Balance that flowed out of the
Primordial ooze billions of years ago
Before the primitive patriarch took hold
Indoctrinating society into
Biblically believing that a
Bipedal earthling artist with the
Cosmic ability to birth babies
Somehow….. whose only existence
Came from the magic of men
When according to the “story”
Of an allegedly omniscient creator
Having made all of the plants and animals
With the appropriate reproductive goodies
Simply forgot to create an Eve
Likewise, later to sneak in Caine’s wife
Better known with minimal research
The first case of incest. God “forbid”. oops
Without the unnecessary rib surgery
To keep fixing his forgetful mistake
Confusion begins on
The whimsical notion
That there is not any
Single word that has
A singular definition
Let alone a
Lone interpretation
Context may guide you
But if you hesitate for
Longer than a moment
You could easily get
Lost and confused
Wasting time using
A quick and popular
Search engine search
May get to the word skirl
With a single definition
Which is the sound
‘of a bagpipe : to emit the
high shrill tone of the chanter”
M-W.com
However, quickly recontextualized
It could expand its meaning
To sort of mean something else
The skirl cacophony of
Rude and overlapping
Dialog of the broad*casters
(Really, no pun intended)
(Nevermind, pun intended)
On “The View” would send
Immediately hands covering
Their owner’s ears before
Running out of the room
To silence the skirl
Period.
Which is as simple as the dot
To end a sentence. But nooooo.
Meaning conclusion.
See…. simple.
Nope. Period has at least eight
Definitions with two or three
Subset explanations within each
Or
To….sounds like two….or too (whew)
TO
A two letter word with at least
Thirteen different definitions
Some with sub and subset
Definitions and content descriptions
Confused?
Think to believe and know am I
And yet, we have the egotistical audacity to assume, when we speak or write, that the recipient of said communication will grasp in its entirety, the intended meaning.
Without a dictionary, a thesaurus, interpreters, therapists and lexicographers.
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

Read also Broadside….next
Is just as much
An infinite contemplation
As infinity is
From a different direction
But unlike looking through
A telescope or microscope
To decipher which has
The grander view*
Nothing has no thing to offer
Zero, zip, zilch, nada, nothing
Not even an empty void
Nor any words to describe
No deaths to die
No lives to live
Nothing to see, hear,
Taste, touch or smell
So much less than silence
Let alone stillness
Which is yet another form
Of presence in the present
Who knew nothing
Would give one so much
To think about
*Dr. Wayne Dyer reference on the equivocacy of looking through either, to realize both are amazing and go on forever.
Noting, that there are only things to be observed if there is an observer to observe them.
“Just an observation,

Things only come to existence via the words used to describe them. Think not…..then think of something, not yet defined by a word.
Don’t worry, I’ve got all day.
Freewill: VOLUNTARY: SPONTANEOUS
M-W.com
If you had no word for freewill, you would have more freewill, than the freewill you do have. Simply because it is shackled to a definition, you now cling to.
Exercising one’s freewill
Is merely a gesture to
Follow one of the following
Patterns, archetypes, others
Or imbedded indoctrinations
My best perception of a Michelangeloian man’s hand to God definition of freewill would be that, in this momentary instant, I could transport myself into a comfortable bean bag chair, floating in the vacuum of deep space to observe the cosmos.
Which, with imaginative perception I can. However, realistically I remain earthbound in this dense dimension. Held in cranial captivity to the patterns of breathing and not freezing.
All because of words that sustain and maintain my existence. To a certain extent must make up my existence, let alone everything existing.
Do I breathe, because there is a word for breathing? What powers this anthropomorphic vehicle I seem to be trapped in?
Better yet, why does it feel compelled to transfer redundant, go nowhere thoughts to this blog platform that only a few well appreciated followers take up their important time to read such nonsense?? Acknowledging my existence.

Nothing is colder
Than absolute zero
How do we know
Nothing is faster than
The speed of light
How do we know
There’s an invisible man
Living in the sky
How do we know
Because we’ve
Been told so
How do we know
Two out of three ain’t bad
Because Meat Loaf
Sang so
I’m frozen
I’m well lit
But there ain’t no way
Am ever going to buy that
So don’t be sad
Two out of three ain’t bad
Is in that most special of all books and online references. Better known as the dictionary.
I tend to use the Merriam Webster version, since that is what version I grew up with and was indoctrinated into. However in a pinch, any dictionary will suffice in learning more about God / Words.
Which actually utilizes both religion and science.
Which if you have read this blog before, it uses the well worn quote / parable of John 1:1. Not so much to beat a dead horse as it is to recognize the elephant in the room. Seeing as how, if you follow it backwards, then something also, must have created God.
“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
See…. Words / God have always existed infinitely. The building blocks of both religions and science.
Same goes for Science and its nauseous Big Bang Theory, which presupposes yet, ignores the obvious, that if everything began from something smaller than a baseball. Exploded to form the cosmos, then it too was surrounded by nothing. Which is still something.
According to science then, the proof would be, that if these words were to be read, in the vacuum of deep space, where there is “nothing”. Anyone would be able to read these words, say at arms length, because, even in that short distance of “nothingness” the light would transfer between the emanations and one’s eyes.
The irony is that when you hear or read an account from an atheist, that God does not exist. He/she/they are using God/Words proving that God exists.
A slight variation on the God vs. Man sand paradox, where men challenge God that they have the technology to make a man out of sand, (much as in the alleged beginning).
God agrees that he will step aside if “man” can pull this off. All excited they grab their box of sand to “create” a human being. When God ends it, by telling them, they need to get their own sand.
In the same way religions do……
With the absence of evidence
By the space between spaces
Known as the Higgs ocean
Or rather the God particle
It is there, but not really there
Since like religion’s stance
God is invisible, yet, everywhere
The coalescing agent of atoms
Holding them together, yet apart
Altering between waves and particles
In its simplest terms God is
“An energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”
– Obi-Wan Kenobi
Thankfully though, science leaves it at that.
So, yes, God is invisible and everywhere.
Whereas in order to maintain power, control and their status quo……..
“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!.
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! “
– George Carlin
Interesting enough, heard this the other day. Since many religions and others consider money to be the root of all evil. It always needs more money. One must ask themselves, what is religion planting?
“They never mention that part to us, do they?”
George Carlin

My Proof That God Exists
Along with the air
Out of the alleged balloon
Is not your human spirit
A little less buoyant
Than it was in the days before
A non threatening craft
Was flying over earth
Which belongs to all
That the only solution
To solve any problem
Is to shoot it down
Wirh a penis projectile
Not even because we were
Defending our “manhood”
But rather sending a
Dick pic, because we can

Let me get this straight.
It is okay for META, Google, Amazon and Verizon to “spy” on Americans. Know every move they make, where they live, their purchasing habits. Their affiliations to groups, where they work, debt to income, driving records, pre-existing conditions, etcetera, etc.
But not okay, for a Chinese Balloon making observations to see if we are working to at least try and pay the rent. (Read Ballooning Around)
Maybe they were checking out Montana to see if there was really that much open space to film Yellowstone and its subsequent spinoffs or if that is just CGI.
Could this be any more of a soap opera temporary protagonist “to distract people and take their minds off how bad they’re being fucked by the upper one percent.”
– George Carlin
Because most people’s lives are bereft of anything meaningful and spiritual, they have to be like a kitten, following a laser light pointer, grasping at nothing till they are worn the fuck out.
As if being sedated, by TV, alcohol, sports, pharmaceuticals, food, politics, gender, race and ethnicity weren’t enough.
