Good afternoon, Richard. Here is a between-the-lines title for you – A Story of Personal Redemption. – Ms. Havisham

 

1717. This is unexpected. I cannot imagine how such a story can be converted. 

 

You have forgiven yourself for what you can never know. You are freed from knowing and practicing faith in G-D. Let the story stand on this assumption within your personal inner reality. Imagine the word "redemption" being invisible between each and every line. You had a marsupial dream with your eyes open for thirty-three years, and you have the notes and drafts to prove it. – Ms. H. 

 

2218. Will you be the Narrator like the Stage Manager in "Our Town"?

 

We can start with what you have already deleted in forty-six chapters. We can have a Dream Manager. We also need a dream format to lessen the metaphysics into the background science of dream manipulation. Ms. H. 

 

2226. I like the concept – an old concept of Id, Ego, and Superego themed unconscious levels. 

 

This is worth continuing. A change of setting will do us good. Post. – Ms. H.

This above all: to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man.

 

The above are Shakespeare's words in Act I, scene 3 of Hamlet by Polonius to his son Laertes on how to behave at the university. You arrogantly take the words on as written for any honest man while forgetting Polonius was a hypocrite and doddering old fool who did not practice his own preaching. – Ms. Havisham

 

2225. But, I do want to remain an honest man, at least as honest as any human being can be in this world partially borne of our species' own orchestration. 

 

The above commentary is in your reference to your recent work on editing Diplomat's Pouch. – Ms. H. 

 

2235. It is. The story was originally written as speculative fiction and not as philosophy, transcendental or otherwise. It is not honest to delete the metaphysical aspects as  I have been doing for the last week or so, i.e. deleting all references to Soki and the other Spirits in the Commentary, which is also deleted.

 

I agree. It is not honest to dishonor your heartansoulanmind in terms of the original and modified single story of forty-seven chapters. – Ms. H. 

 

2242. This story is told by my heartansoulanmind, my immortal part to my mortal, living self. The story should have a universal appeal and should be told secretly from one friend to a friend. Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and Wilder's "Our Town" come to mind as samples.

 

This then is our new approach, a story of redemption. – Ms. H. 

 

2258. I need a definition of redemption for clarity.

REDEMPTION (THEOLOGY)

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Redemption is an essential concept in many religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

CHRISTIANITY

In Christian theology, redemption (Greek: apolutrosis) refers to the deliverance of Christians from sin.[1] It assumes an important position in salvation because the transgressions in question form part of a great system against which human power is helpless. . . . In Christian theology, redemption is a metaphor for what is achieved through the Atonement;[4] therefore, there is a metaphorical sense in which the death of Jesus pays the price of a ransom, releasing Christians from bondage to sin and death. . . . 

HINDUISM

A similar concept in Indian religions is called prāyaścitta, which is not related to a theological sense of sin but to expiation and personal liberation from guilt or sin.[6][7]

ISLAM

In Islam, redemption is achieved by being a Muslim and doing no action to forfeit one's identification with Islam,[8] being of sincere faith (iman) and doing virtuous actions.[9] Muslim sinners need only turn to a merciful God in repentance and carry out other good deeds, such as prayer (salah) and charity, for redemption.[10][11] As a result of this redemption view, Muslims have criticized alternative views on redemption, especially the Christian doctrine of original sin.[8]

JUDAISM

In the Torah, redemption (Hebrew ge'ulah) referred to the ransom of slaves (Exodus 21:8). . . . 

In Rabbinic Judaism, redemption is a belief that refers to God redeeming the Israelites from their exiles, starting with that from Egypt.[29] This includes the final redemption from the present exile.[30]

In Hasidic philosophy, parallels are drawn between the redemption from exile and the personal redemption achieved when a person refines his character traits. However, there is no source for this in the Talmud. Rather the Messianic redemption is linked to observing Shabbat,[31] Jewish prayer,[32] and the promise of redemption for those looking toward Mount Zion,[33] the last being the original cultural source of 'Zionism.' As such, the original intent of Zionism was the redemption process by which the Land of Israel that has been pledged to the Israelites[34] is reclaimed, accomplished through the payment of the debt owed to God[33] as a fulfillment of the conditions set out in the Torah.

On January 28, you had your Covid-19 vaccination; your second vaccination is February 18. Carol had her Covid-19 vaccination on February 3; her second vaccination should be on or about February 24. Last evening Doug called you, and you had a good personal chat. You were heartfelt upon hearing his voice. He asked how your book was selling, and you laughed and told him you canceled it about two weeks after it was published. You said you were going over it one more time before publishing it [with a new title] as fiction, not philosophy. You both also spoke of UFO's and how you agreed that it appears [today] that aliens do [plausibly] exist and that governments and some world religions now realize this. He suggested you check "Navy – UFO's" online, which you did. – Ms. Havisham

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement by the Department of Defense on the Release of Historical Navy Videos

APRIL 27, 2020


The Department of Defense has authorized the release of three unclassified Navy videos, one taken in November 2004 and the other two in January 2015, circulating in the public domain after unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017. The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in the public domain were indeed Navy videos. After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems; and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena. DOD is releasing the videos to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as "unidentified." The released videos can be found at the Naval Air Systems Command FOIA Reading Room: https://www.navair.navy.mil/foia/documents [BELOW]

PENPENTAGON ADMITS UFO PROGRAM STILL EXISTS. BUT NAVY'S ALIEN SIGHTINGS DON'T QUITE ADD UP.

The Navy will supposedly make regular reports on at least some of its findings. But de could rob believers of their best piece of evidence — a dearth of good evidence.

Aug. 2, 2020, 4:30 AM EDT

By Seth Shostak, the senior astronomer at the SETI Institute


Is it vindication at last? The New York Times has recently reported that a supposedly canceled Pentagon project investigating strange aerial phenomena is still showing a pulse. The clandestine effort, originally known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, was said to have ended in 2012. But, apparently, it’s still doing its thing under the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence auspices, and with a new name: the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force.


If the feds are still forking over tax dollars to delve into odd goings-on in the sky, it must be because they’ve got convincing evidence of extraterrestrial visitors.

So, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, right? If the feds are still forking over tax dollars to delve into odd goings-on in the sky, it must be because they’ve got convincing evidence of extraterrestrial visitors. That’s the hope of the 100 million or so Americans who seem willing to swear on the Good Book that unidentified flying objects are, at least in some cases, alien objects.

But as with everything UFO-related, it’s worth taking a second or third look before rushing to lay out the red carpet for alien houseguests. In 2017, the Times first reported on a secret project to study unidentified aerial phenomena. It was in connection with some puzzling videos taken by Navy fighter pilots over the Pacific. The video showed unidentified objects ahead of the jets, objects that seemed to maneuver in bizarre ways. The military has always wanted to know about anything that can fly, so there are plenty of national security reasons for why they would continue such research.


That’s the most straightforward explanation for why the Navy has extended the Pentagon program. It’s also what they’ve said.


A picture containing text, gauge

Description automatically generated

Watch: Navy confirms this footage shows ‘unidentified aerial phenomena.’


But isn’t it possible that what’s really going on here is not investigating unknown aircraft or drones? Still, a distraction to keep us from a more disturbing truth — that UFOs aren’t enemy flying machines, but alien flying machines? Maybe the government doesn’t want to admit this because they figure the news might throw society into chaos.


Mind you, it’s hardly clear why extraterrestrials would travel many trillions of miles through the dangerous voids of space simply to pirouette above our heads and occasionally play cat-and-mouse with the Navy. But — full disclosure — we really don’t know what the aliens find interesting to do. Maybe they have their reasons.

This is a case where seeing might be believing, but no one has let us see anything. Which is convenient, if less than fully convincing.


In addition to the persistent interest in strange objects in the sky, it appears that there are also strange objects on the ground. The Times speaks of “retrieved materials” that are “not made on this Earth,” possibly including entire spacecraft. This claim seems both surprising and suspect. The pilots didn’t report picking up pieces of alien technology or strange metal alloys (at least not publicly), so it’s unclear where these “materials” were found. This is a case where seeing might be believing, but no one has let us see anything. Which is convenient, if less than fully convincing.


Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., says he is especially concerned by the fact that the extraterrestrials (if that’s what they are) spend a lot of time hanging out above our military bases.


If you’re a sci-fi fan, you’re well-acquainted with the idea that hostile aliens need to pay attention to our armament. Perhaps it’s what’s lured them to Earth in the first place. They’ve come as saviors from on high, keen to separate us from our own weapons of mass destruction. That would, at least, be one explanation for their apparent interest in our combat capabilities.


But truth be told, it’s a totally unreasonable explanation. If the aliens can actually come here — whatever their motivation — they have technology that’s enormously beyond our own. Comparing their weaponry to ours would be like comparing the U.S. Air Force to an Australopithecus raiding party. Put another way, do you honestly think “Star Trek’s” Captain Jean-Luc Picard would ever spend time checking out piles of slingshots or pikes on some primitive planet when he has phasers back on the USS Enterprise?


If the UFOs are interested in our military, that’s actually an argument against them being visitors from another star system. Instead, it suggests Russian aircraft, Chinese drones, or something terrestrial — hardware we could understand.


Humans have always been tempted to ascribe strange phenomena to superhuman beings' workings, much as the Greeks argued that lightning bolts were javelin tosses by Zeus. But science demands that any hypothesis be supported by detailed, repeatable, and impartial observations. Those are lacking here.

We want to hear what you THINK. Please submit a letter to the editor.


The Office of Naval Intelligence will supposedly make regular reports on at least some of its findings. That sort of disclosure sounds as if it would be good news for those who, like Fox Mulder, “want to believe.” But in fact, it might actually work the other way. Disclosure could rob the believers of their best piece of evidence — which is to say, a dearth of good evidence.

2124. We had a good day. I am unsure what I should be working on. I do want to re-publish Diplomat's Pouch under a different title as the fiction it is. I prefer a ghost story of sorts, a haunting from within my own sense of consciousness. The haunting would be nonfiction from my perspective. First and foremost, the key is human consciousness and unconsciousness as well as it being strung between a sense of fate and free will. That is the predicament. To me, the mystery is the story's own creation, which was from an unconsciously driven misunderstanding from within. The title must drive through the novel with great clarity. 2136.

 

You wonder that the small aliens commonly visualized since 1947 in New Mexico were or are us or a variation of Homo sapiens from a million years or so in the future, jumping back through dimensional time to our present and perhaps earlier. Why? For observation and direct experience. If we could do time travel now, would we not wish to do the same -- return to earlier times to make an observation and gain a personal experience as to how the times were; even back to the times of Ezekiel's 'Wheel within a Wheel.' – Ms. Havisham.

 

2157. It is an embarrassing thought.
