Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 55) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

(my email is JesseGod@live.com)

F.Y.I. There are about 2500 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

God resume

CV

 The circus clown became an acrobat then juggled and started telling jokes.  Then he fought in hand to hand combat, besting the bearded lady.  Then he performed surgery on a cancer patient, then a dog, and finally himself.   Then he did magic tricks.  Then, miracles.  Then, he earned a billion dollars.   Then he read the library, some books fast, others slow.  Then he became a university professor, and taught limnology.  The he cooked a delicious meal for his whole family, regaling them with stories that resembled the magical realism of Gabo.  Then he was a guru, and started a religion.  Then he started a family, and fathered two dozen children.  Then he wrote a book, and got published, and won some prizes.  Then he brushed, flossed, and rinsed, twice a day.  Then he became a bodybuilder, and won Mr. Universe.  Then he wrote a blog that went viral, and acted in films, and played guitar in a band.  Then he directed a movie, and became a congressman.  Then he made everything right with the world.  Then he was a professional athlete.  Then he memorized the OED.   Then he became a poet.  Then he was president of the United States, and brought peace and harmony to the nations of the world.  He eliminated poverty.   Then he was a Navy Seal.  Then he took heroin.  Then he fell in love, and traveled the world, eating at many, many restaurants.  Then he became Pope.  Then he invented a few hundred magical devices of technological wizardry.  Then he was an astronaut.  Then he solved all the world’s problems.  Then he got a phd in physics, and blew up the universe.  The end.  

another take, a list of superpowers:    Can fly, with super strength, speed, combat prowess, invulnerability, regeneration, teleportation, genius, access to omniscience, x-ray vision, morphing, can stop/slow time, athleticism, healing ability (for self, others), immortality, non-aging, speed-reading, time travel, can live in space (no need to eat, drink, breathe, piss, shit).  Omnipotence:  Can do/undo anything!  Speaks all languages, reads and remembers all books, telepathic voices and visions, and, of course, a billionaire.  A math prodigy, and legal eagle, and spiritually realized adept, and fearless fighter for truth, justice, and the american way!  Virtuous, righteous, moral, good, kind.

God

Stop talking to me

Leave me alone

Talk to anyone else


I think the word actually describes something real.   It’s not meaningless.  I’m an atheist when it comes to a creator of the universe that listens to everyone’s thoughts, and rewards his elect with an eternity of bliss and condemns everyone else to eternal torment.  Or is the source of all goodness, like he invented ice cream, or whatever.   Everything is co-arising, and life is but a dream, if gods and their computers are penetrating consciousness to control reality.  There IS some skillful mind that directs reality, things, unfolding.  God means everything, actually.  What doesn’t God mean, right?  I mean, the devil is just God when he’s drunk?  Or evil gives the good something to do?  But God as the universe itself is so vast a definition, that it becomes almost meaningless.  The important thing about God, that I believe in, is the person who can see what’s in my heart and mind. The voice in my head.  The one that makes my fingers tap, eyelids blink, and plays earworms in my brain.  The natural light of reason.  A god of psychology.  In fact, it gives me symptoms, head shocks, chest pains, teeth taps, in addition to the voices.   I am schizophrenic. God is an affliction.  In other cultures, I might be a shaman.  Anyway, visions and dreams at night.  I might even be possessed.  These words themselves might even have their origin in him, not me.  I channel him. I am a vessel, he pours into me.  My mind is vacant, silent.  But he feeds me data, ideas, images, words.   He’s the little man in my head.  I’m supposedly mad, but the reality is ongoing and real.  I am not talking to myself.  Or rather, just myself.   It’s like how God can hear prayers, right?  That’s what telepathy is.  Maybe everyone is mentally ill.  But it IS madness, and I’m trying to get control over my mind.  I take my medications.   I respond to the voice by telling him to shut up.   There are billions of other people.   Talk to them, if you must, instead, alright?  I write down some of my voices, even publish a few on my blog.  Because I’m crazy, I have lots of ideation, and thoughts on God.   Like Pinky and Brain, he he ha ha.   Well, whatever.   My mind is never alone.   One way of interpreting this is calling it a superpower.   I have a deity in my head.  God listens to me.  God is a part of me.  Or, maybe, just a smart person named David.  An insanely smart person.  Relative to me, anyway,  I think.   I don’t actually know how smart I am, myself.  If it’s a hive mind, among people with no-selves, then IQ becomes a bit irrelevant, no?  Just a thought.  I’ve had dreams from a dream-god, Morpheus, say, that give insight into a mental process that appears to be zillions of times more intelligent and creative than I myself ever generate.  Unless I rank higher than him.  Like I’m the big picture, and he fleshes out the detail.  So whatever.  David once said I had a broken brain.  Broken, like cracked magazine.  Or like NSA code.  Like he sees right through me.  Gaslighting?   I’m a ghost?  I don't want to be insane.  But Maybe I don’t want to be sane, either.  No voice, no god, a silent mind, equals zombie?  Is zombiedom preferable to being possessed?  Can I have my soul back?  I don’t believe in souls (or angels), either, but it might refer to something real, too.  I'm not sure if a "sound" mind is the problem, or the solution.   A sound mind might be silent.   But they also say silence=death.   Mind being mined is the metaphor for a zombie eating brain...  You feel me?  I hear you, dawg.  Woof.

'God' etymology

ORIGIN OF GOD

  • Middle English from Old English gheu(É™)- in Indo-European roots 

    From American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

  • From Middle English, from Old English god (“deity”) (akin to Old High German got (a rank of deity)), originally neuter, then changed to masculine to reflect the change in religion to Christianity, both from the Proto-Germanic *gudÄ…(compare Dutch god, German Gott, Danish gud), from the Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰuto- (“invoked (one)”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰewH- (“to call, to invoke”) or *ǵʰew- (“to pour”). Not related to the word good.

    From Wiktionary

I had no idea the word God was unrelated to good.  That's weird!  (counter-intuitive)
Also, proto-indo-european makes me think of pie.  :-)
invoked One.  Like Joe Pesci!  invoke the woke, it is spoken.
From a RANK of deity (thought I smelled something, ha.)

The pronunciation has god pronounced 3 ways: 
   a. with a v over the o
   b.  with an upside down v over the o
   c.  with 2 dots over the o (dieresis)

some definitions

crusama (osama's crew?)
   the creator and ruler of the universe, and source of all moral authority

sur ('south', in spanish)
   the supreme or ultimate reality (sour!)

sbc poof (now att; also, southern baptist convention)(pejorative for gay)
   supreme being, creator, principal object of faith

Adidam (unrelated to Adidas)
   "reality is all the god there ever is"

bible
    man of war, good, one, love
    the source of all goodness (James 1:16)

28 characteristics of God (in Christian theology) (attributes)
  (a tribute to care, character, wrist, and ticks.  ha)
aseity
eternity
goodness, gracious (great balls of fire!)
holiness (well, duh)
7 I's (7 eyes? aye)(like a horseshoe crab!):
(immanence, immutability, impassibility, impeccability, incomprehensibility, incorporeality, infinity)
jealousy
love
mission, mystery
omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence
oneness
providence
righteousness
simplicity, sovereignty
transcendance, trinity
veracity
wrath  

(vw and audi tt!)
(pr and 4-o and SS and Eminem and jail (JL) and A and E)

this list incorporates the definitions of "a perfectly good, powerful, and wise being", and the 4 omni's (omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, omnibenevolent).   It makes conversation about the existence of God confusing.   Who's going to spout 28 adjectives in a defense or attack on the existence of God!?  A blog becomes necessary, perhaps.  

a (15 points, by my count) definition of God (according to Westminster catechisms) is also 
"an eternal infinite unchangeable spirit" who "exists, is wise, powerful, holy, just, good, and true."  Plus,  "all-sufficient.  everywhere.  knows all things.  incomprehensible."
    Is this possible for One being?  Or even a hive-mind of all beings?
Personally, I don't think so.  Infinity or infinite, (eternal and everywhere) can't describe a being.  Unless we're talking about Reality itself as somehow conscious/consciousness.  Sentient spacetime.  (Although you can play with infinity as getting progressively smaller, instead of bigger: contained in a nutshell, so to speak, or a genie's lamp, or a skull).  There's only one infinity, though, and it's BIG, lol.

And it's not only you.  My theology may be narcissist (even solipsist), but God is love, and love is better when it's not just yourself, I think!   But loving yourself is a good place to start.  Narcissism: admiration of oneself...  Solipsism: the theory that the self is all that can be known to exist.  I think, therefore I AM.  who? am. 

aseity is solipsist, lol.   there's something to teach your children!
aseity, deity, and de-itty (bitty), d-itty (a small amount of devil)

Did I say enough? or too much?

Fecal Material

Poop

I’m a dog walker.  I get paid to pick up dog poop.  A humble job for a deity.


Poop, poo, caca, crap, defecation, doodoo, dung, droppings, excrement, feces, shit, bowel movement, turd, number 2, night soil, ordure, frass (bug poop), muck, manure, stool, waste, excreta, egesta, sullage, fecal matter

     Sss:  sullage, shit, stool, soil

Hiss all you want.  It’s a fact of life.

   social security, social service, serving society 

   saint stephen, nazi ss, stroking sausage

some shit, assess'd


anyway,

BM, (i know a Brent Meyers).   There’s also Bill Murray, Bob Marley, Benito Mussolini. Bette Midler.   Barry Manilow.  Bobby Mcferrin.  Bill Monroe.  Bill Moyers.  Branford Marsalis. Bill McKibben.  Bruce McCulloch.  Bob Mothersbaugh. etc.


Big man.  Man upstairs.  God as a black hole, sucking in all the light.  If data is light, well it just goes to show, omniscience would suck, black hole sun, won’t you come, and wash away the rain, goes the ditty.   Black as night, death.  Jesus, light of the world, the sun, superstar, astral body, luminary, son of man, morning star, son of David, son of Joseph and Mary, son of God, tree of Jesse, tree of knowledge, tree of life, family tree, genealogy, lineage, bloodline.  Creation, and babies being born, coming out into the light.


Everything is impermanent.  It all goes to shit.  Nothing lasts forever.  No one lives forever.  Attachment to life leads to suffering.  Accept death.  Immortality is a delusion.  Even a diamond is not forever.  All decays.  Matter has a half-life.  Tires have lifetimes.  Things arise, and go to the dogs, go to pot, go to hell, from dust to dust.  Every day is one day closer to death.  Make peace with your mortality.  You were nonexistent for an infinity before you were conceived, and you will be dead forever after you perish.  During life, and after you’re planted, you rot, decay, deteriorate, degrade, go downhill, worsen, fall into disrepair, go to ruin. Senescence is inevitable.  You can fight chaos and make order, but it will all be for nought.  Your bones will scatter to the wind.  There will be no trace, and no recollection, of any of us. The earth will be swallowed by the sun.   The universe itself will go dark.  Abandon hope.  It is hopeless.


BM: bachelor of medicine, British museum, bachelor of music, basal metabolism, board measure, black male.  Black metal.  Bad manners. Bacterial meningitis. Boatswain’s mate.


BMW. IBM. BMI. MIB. BMR. BMS.

Bayerische motor werken.   International business machines.  Body mass index.  Men in black. Barbara Millicent Roberts.   Bristol Myers Squibb.  


There’s a joke about Mozart’s body decomposing.

Also, if someone calls you an asshole, say thank you.   Without one, you’d explode.

Shiite muslims and UPS and Cleveland Browns and vice presidents (#2) all relate, in a way.   Also, Shih tzu dogs and shiitake mushrooms and Shattuck avenue and xate palm leaves!


You can worship shit, even.   God is the shit.   Holy shit, you say.

Blessed Mary.   Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the 3 persons of the holy trinity, they say.

Jesus was number 2 to god the father.  No? Numerology exposes a mathematical substrate to words.  it, jesus, jew, cross, T, ow, beast… Christmas (25th) correlates to Jesus (2) Christ (5)

Well, whatever.  But it makes sense.  BM scents.  


Soldiers in Vietnam were said to be “in the shit”

War is hell.  there’s:

   Satan hannibal iniquity turpitude

   Savage hateful insane terrorism

   Sadistic hellish infernal tragedy

Milton’s Paradise Lost?  The devil shits you out of hell?  Or is that Dante.  Life is Hell - Matt Groening.  The world is a vampire, sings Smashing Pumpkins.  Life eats you up and shits you out.  Or is that spits.   Eminem raps about spitting some shit.  Anyway, I'm Jess T, and I digest, die, jest, is the gist of things, the crux of the biscuit, but I digress.
