"Know, my beloved, that the devil cares only for compassing the ruin of
everyone of us, but that he does not use one and the same method of
warfare against us all. To help you to see and understand this more
clearly, I shall describe to you five inner states of people and the
corresponding wiles, and circuitous approaches and enticements of the enemy.
These states are the following: some people remain in the slavery of
sin, with no thought of liberation; others, although thinking of this
liberation and desiring it, do nothing to achieve it; there are also
people who, having been freed from the shackles of sin and having
acquired virtues, again fall into sin with still greater moral corruption.
In their self-delusion some of these latter think that, in spite of it
all, they are still advancing towards perfection; others heedlessly
abandon the path of virtue; yet others turn the very virtue they possess
into a cause and occasion of harm for themselves. The enemy influences
each of them in accordance with their state and disposition." [Lorenzo
Scupoli, 'Unseen Warfare as edited by Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain and
revised by Theophan the Recluse, p 160]
I thought since we've given a brief introduction into Leonard Talmy's
excellent two volumes of 'Toward a Cognitive Semantics'
- Concept Structuring Systems
- Typology and Process in Concept Structuring
That in this the next Chapter titled 'JA HAAG', we'll develop the
BOEK(id) function further in the implementation of a GRAPPLE BIBLE
perspective of the entire vCube system from #72 ... #75 ... #584 which
appears to be an engine.
As I said previously, "before implementation phase of the Spectral
Primer I've placed into the public sphere the protocols which will be
manifested by that function as my working towards associating the
dialectic basis of human speech {ie. thesis, antithesis, synthesis and
progression as metathesis} and the extrusion of ideas to a 3-dimensional
cellular automata model as balanced ternary distributed system which
circumscribes the unity of our semantical engine for associating and
hosting religious belief and their value systems."
Today I spoke to some NSW plain clothes police about their unnecessary
and high-handed pursuit of a destitute street kid whom I complained they
were unnecessarily victimizing.
They recently deprived him of his money and tobacco on account of his
also having an indeterminate quantity and quality of illicit organic
substance on his person.
I had just bought him a burger and gave him $40 to help him on his way.
Because he had car window washing implement on his person the police
today seized the money as proceeds (ie. improbable as you only get small
change for car window washing) for those casual work actions over which
he has previously received a $50 ticket and caution by the police.
He regards me as kin (I am a father to him) and immediately came back to
my house and told me that he was later stripped searched and robbed by
the NSW Police Kings Cross Station. We went to the corner store and
sought change so that I could again give him $40. Once upon a time, to
have no money on your person was a summary offense for which there was a
power of arrest as the crime of vagrancy.
The police said, if I wanted to lodge a complaint, I could go to Kings
Cross Police station. Since the police there are intellectually stupid,
have no religious values to sustain either their oath of office and
marriages, there is a lack of comprehension as to the metaphysical
definition of force made by my paradigm as technology under the
Commonwealth and invalidating the Letters Patent) are corrupt like the
Saint Kilda Police in Victoria--now why would I do that?
These police need to be reminded that if they continue to show such
disrespect to me, I will not tolerate their fascism as indicative of the
character and abject haughty disdain for my Intellectual Property--You
will not speak to me unless you have read my www-page and show respect
accordingly in public as you have stripped searched and subject my
guardianship to a public impunity. If there is no action to charge them
for theft and terminate their careers I will pursue them in a court of law.
Besides the culture of bullying by the Victoria of social groups was the
cause for the Russell Street bombing and my experience of a disease
state and a subsequent culture of persecution by the Victoria Police.
When this human rights issue is resolved, it will nullify the career
history and status of four Chief Commissioners.
