  Wait Watchers We dot While favors their cat paws of gnawing ironies (better than barking dogs at defeat) pack up for their Phar-aoutings survey of the grand estate of their rarae intelligenciae, Max-plaqued through time, and flattening lingo by sparked place— We allow people to determine the needs they display and move from there to dignify with non-interference, savoring reflectives of other stars dug under reality as seed, and how malleable its certainty, a horrid clone, a rape, by which caged hallowing you buffer tongue by its closure an insole treadless, a stabile. Smelling the spark of ozone-coining air Conning for the day’s matrix in robots— the metrics and algo they apply: likes, pauses, mutes, and biometric eye twitter; while field mice-lidded circus workers give way to cold-eyed puppetmastery, grand iron-eye, that fined its Michael   inverting and panderous, the seconding derivative of sensories after netting and little big-mann...

  Lamenting’s Prolapse Ruling by gentle guide figuring the Adored? Instead pestilential secrecies chaining Croesus’ creosoting code and harness,   Abandoned now by recurrent calls to lament after Jeremiah’s unheeded Call to the Shema’s buckle— lev ’s twice intonation— instead gate and house built atop a creted curtain of language, electronifried— As the fell city falls because a false corner angle stoned its dethrown.   Pity, pity, pit without lament Such vaporous course Channeled by history’s recursing, wellworks leading Rockets into the most sere space, A chilled universe where a bit of heated blood stands against the suck of absolute zeroing.   History’s looping met with flaming swords, turning angels, Pitch and bitumen coursed Inhospitted dumping warned For souls better fit by hospital than programs of fools, chaised,   By absurdities proud By atrocities condemned By boxing no verities Instead accruing the slap...

  Gnostic Abstraction vs. the Logos Living with the Substrate:  Theodicy, Form, and Ethical Motion Rev. Dr. Douglas Blake Olds February 2026 Abstract This essay develops, in contrast to the historiically recurrent patterns of gnosticism, a Logos‑centered metaphysical and ethical framework grounded in Hebrews 5:13–14, which locates mature discernment not in speculative abstraction but in senses trained through embodied, historical practice. Drawing on the Antiochene exegetical tradition, it argues that metaphysics must be rooted in proprioceptive responsibility, repentance, and ethical formation, rather than in aesthetic or formal coherence. Against this framework, the essay critiques contemporary theological and secular tendencies—exemplified   by  elevation of aesthetic plenitude as metaphysical principle. —for subordinating ethics to a self‑validating continuity of form. Biblical virtue ethics  (see  Olds 2023 ) , by contrast, situates moral judgmen...

Gospel of Matthew 2:2 does not necessarily suggest astrology led the Magi to seek the baby Jesus on what is now known as the Feast of Epiphany . "We saw his star dawning" suggests that they had read the times foretold in scriptures and the star confirmed their inner readiness to receive the incarnated God of the Universe who is not barred from entering, challenging, and testing our recognition of God's transcendent power with the earth. The Piebald Advent is finished . Christ has been returning on the clouds (Rev. 1:7-9) that few have either been allowed by algorithm to read, or could be bothered to do so. Satan has been eclipsed, the A ntichrist identified . The eclipsing Day of the Lord is becoming manifest: comes the flood of judgments of Noanic proportion (Amos 5:24). An “everflowing stream” of righteousness that leads to life. Those who survive the accounting meekly inherit what e...
