Journal Entry

 Good morning (good afternoon).  I slept in.  Re is awake.  She just went back to bed.  The sound machine is on.  White nose thing, or whatever, from Sharper Image.  On creek setting.  The traffic outside rolls by, with a kind of waves on the beach sound, if you tell your head to interpret it that way.   Except for the sirens.  We have incense burning, too.  “Money” scented incense (or something!).   Incense, like a candle, demarcates time.  And we all know time is money.  Yesterday was Valentine’s Day.   So flowers should be cheap, today.   Re just wants lillies, so I have to go look and fetch. 

We started reading Sophie’s World, aloud to each other.   We each read a chapter.   The third chapter awaits.   I like reading to Re.  For now, I can just sit (and write) while Re rests.  I’m charging my computer.   I can listen to music on my headphones, or read the WB (or both).  Or I can meditate, and focus on my breath.  Horizontal meditation?  I need to do pushups, and maybe I should eat my GNC protein powder.  The kitchen looks great.   I love going to the kitchen.   I could call my mom, too.   The blog is at 63.   Yesterday went up to 79.  It’s only 1:31p.  (page views).  I always say I got x.    I should be saying My Blog Got x (Page Views).   But people understand.  Right?  I got 80 today.  My blog got 80 page views today.   You know.  My library book has another week on it.  I want to finish it in time.   Maybe some kid needs it.   My goal is a hundred pages a day (for like 7 days), so I can stay in the time frame.  But I have an Economist, too.   Both demand my time and attention.   I’m writing.   We’ve started Sophie’s World.   Busy, busy!

The Hutchinson CK company the Economist was writing about is NOT my brother’s company.   It just sounds like it.   I have spitball shooters for Ben and Dec.   I doubt the parents will approve.  Poor Liz.   Her big brother died in his sleep, just the other night.  I’m not sure I ever met Dan.  Ugh.  

Sunday, but not sunny.   A bit overcast, which is nice, in Berkeley.  Today I will: read WB, check blog at 4p, maybe read some Economist or Sophie’s World, and listen to music.  I’ll eat some of Michael’s lentils, and maybe some GNC powder.   Do some pushups.   Artcast awaits, as well.  My day, by Jesse Teshara.   Happy Sunday.  No church.   I slept.  Candles,  incense, and creek noise fills the room, as the minutes tick by.   Re sleeps.  Blog views add up and accumulate.   634,590 is my Total.    Over half a million.   I’m turning into McDonald’s.  X served!

I wish I had people in my life who read my blog.   I tell myself I don’t need validation, but it’s nice to get commentary, opinions, reaction, in any case.  I mean, I’m not writing to the Void!!!

What do you think?   What’s good?  What sucks?

Aides with AIDS, born in the sign of Cancer with cancer, having a cold in the cold, bird flu /flew, dead before dying, sick and tired of being sick and tired, infested festivals, weak this week, and healthy in thy hell?  ill in Illinois, and well on welfare, and sick with sickle cell disease, and Cyrus has a virus in her iris, while erections sometimes carry infections, and there's the wheeze disease, and the bibliophile's addiction to fiction, (meals are most real), and the government tries to prevent the production of poisonous toys.  Just breathe.   Don't seethe.  Health, wealth, stealth, not filth.   Infected and infested with incesticide.   Injured ninja.  Insane pain and plainly sane, like manatee sanity, whatever floats your boat, with comfort and ease, like Mumford in the trees.  Presto!  presta valves and pesto!  all better :-).   Allah, peanut butter sandwiches!    Pure, no sin, clean as a whistle, as holy as Swiss cheese!  The smell of sin upon sin replaced by cinnamon raisins?   vaseline, lysterine, and glycerine?

stressy Jesse, anxious Hank, nervous in the service, scared to share, a worried jury, in terror of error, frightened of fighting, and hating fate, that is, death by meth - without breath, but what if- on the mend, without end, eternally infernal, or infinitely bit, or always in Galway, forever pulling levers, or nonstop mopping (!).    Good gawd, Rod - we'll all be in the sod, you odd wad of a dirt clod!

Be Good.   Only God is good.  So be God.   God is love.   I am.  

What’s love got to do with it?  Being a part of something greater than Self.

Be in love.   With love in your life.  Positive vibrations.

Respect, admiration, appreciation, kindness, fun, bliss, joy, pleasure.

Love is sexy, feels good, gives and takes, and makes life worth living.

When love is mutual, there is nothing greater.  

Mutual affection, union and unity and shared experience,

Caring for someone, being cared for, in a dismal, indifferent world (if not Universe)

Grokking deeply the experience and being of another, with compassion

Love is a way of life, a drug, the meaning and purpose of life.

Don’t worry be happy.   It’s all good.

Caitlin and Satan, revels with the devil, like a corrupt puppet, or the robotically erotic, having sex with Dexter.   Not even in the same league as Rodríguez.   With Smith, but without clout, without a doubt.

Reality is all the God there ever is, so God is Reality, which is spacetime, ST, like fish in water - how's the water?   outside of spacetime?  before the Big Bang?  prior to the Universe?

Perfekto

Prr fección

said the cool cat-

 Perfection is rare.   Only at the Olympics, or in one’s own mind - and most of us are pretty hard on ourselves.  Some people strive for an A+, or a 1600 SAT, or, in other words, no mistakes.  There exists an aphorism, strive for improvement, not perfection.   Judge yourself, not others, and always seek a personal best.  World records exist to be broken.   But everybody can be just as competitive.   And sometimes, you can always get better, improve, exceed expectations, and push yourself to and through your limits.  Always be your best is a tall order, but why expect anything less?  Especially, if you step into the shoes of a God!  God makes no mistakes, they say.    Even the apparently flawed can turn out to be part of the process of growth.   Growth is Godly, so never fear mistakes.   The more mistakes, the more improvement.   Don’t shy away from failure, mistakes, imperfection.   Indeed, excellence demands it.  

Of By and For

Gods, Goddesses, Deities of all stripes 

God’s Blog?

A blog of by and for God - for gods, for deities, and for holy men and women,  And for Everyone Else, too, sinners and saints, a timeless record of. goodness, holiness, virtue, happiness, bliss, contentment, peace, and satisfaction.   Rules to live by and good advice, timeless wisdom, suffused with Love.

I AM love, and I love Myself, You, Everybody (in heaven or even in hell).    God loves the sinners, and is a source of Mercy and Grace.   The All Eternity thing is just a scare tactic.   You are forgiven as soon as you feel gulity, are sorry, have regret, and repent.  Mercy is withholding deserved punishment, and grace is bestowing undeserved blessing. 

One man’s hell is another man’s heaven.  Just as earth has different neighborhoods and countries, Heaven has multiple varieties, which you can travel between, staying in for as long as you like.   Heaven bestows immortality, and there is no aging there.  You can choose what age and appearance you’d like to have.  

Space is infinite, and there are as many heavens as there are members of the heavenly host.  You can visit and try them all.   Yes, there is sex, drugs, lin addition to the libraries, movies, restaurants, and, of course, churches.   There are video games (very lifelike) to do all your vice in.  The music scene is off the chain.   The schools are really fun.  

Everybody is cool in heaven.    There is no fighting.  You can step in each other’s shoes, and be whoever you want.  All your dreams are fulfilled.  You can get anything you want.   You can sleep in heaven, and dream heavenly dreams, which you can then actually go to, when you wake.   You can live on earth, as a billionaire.  You can read everything ever written.  You can write your own books.   You can watch all the tv, listen to all the music, and eat every cuisine.   You can compete in Body-building, or Olympic anything.   See every movie.  

You have access to Omniscience.   A couple million years, you start to grok things.   You talk to everybody, and you meditate, and you do every job.  You become Great and Big.  

You can die, and then be reborn in a certain time and place, at a certain age.    With perfect memory.   Or you can turn off pain, and regenerate limbs and organs, say.   You can teleport.  You can make any movie real.  You can try all the religions.  Speak all the languages.  You can do absolutely Nothing, like a rock on heroin, for thousands of years.

Enjoy.

no-self;  I'm a million different people from one day to the next; 10,000 maniacs;  I am legion;  god is 'we';  x-men changelings, morphs, and shape-shifters.   Thespian: I was only ACTING!  Plural and multiple, appearances, roles, presentation.    Possessed, occupied, "stepped-into."   Mini-me and the many-me's, elves and selves, better angels, sleepwalking.   Young/ old, clothes, hair, attitude, accent, plastic surgery, applications, wigs, body type (skinny, obese, muscular)...  Me and "my better half."   Corporate self (e.g. borg).   

"know thyself" -delphic maxim

I am my body (only, merely, entirely).   I am not my name.   Aging, changing.   In flux.  I am not a soul.   Or sol.  Or sole.   I am not the skin of my foot, or a kind of fish.   I am what I eat, less what I excrete.   Amen.

My name happens to be Jesse Lawrence Teshara, although I was adopted, and my birthparents were Annette V. Riddle and Richard Stollnitz (I believe, think, maybe).   I called myself Jester at scout camp, once.   Names, shnames.  Animals don't have names.  A rose is still a rose by any other name.  I don't care, therefore, what you call me.  I am what I am.

what I am is what I am is what you are, or what?

one of my favorite, formative memories (blast from the past!):   the insanely intense vibe from the yellow beetle (car) with exposed engine at Camp Royaneh blasting AC/DC (back in black) on its stereo, when I was a kid, in the 70's, on the parade ground, beneath the admin building. (!!!!!), along with the Vuarnets I found.
