And they filled them up to the brim.&lt;br /&gt;[8] And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.&lt;br /&gt;[9] When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,&lt;br /&gt;[10] And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.&lt;br /&gt;[11] This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had observed, very quietly, that the Bible is defeated by Satan because&lt;br /&gt;there is a lack of balance between the Astromathematics of the Book of the Revelation&lt;br /&gt;and the synoptic gospels.  We suggest, intelligently, that if any method can&lt;br /&gt;be found in the Book of the Revelation--any astromathematical consistency, a code&lt;br /&gt;if you will--then the synoptic gospels, alas, will have to be judged by the &lt;br /&gt;same standard.  The book of John, therefore, is to be seen, as well, symbolically.&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, we are not asked to allow a "context" for the miracles after the first,&lt;br /&gt;and Satan causes harm to Jesus in the battle between two men, Jesus and Mohamed.&lt;br /&gt;Who were these men? One, Jesus, understood the Egyptian Glyph "Aten" at a level&lt;br /&gt;of mastery that is documented below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev.12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:&lt;br /&gt;[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.&lt;br /&gt;[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.&lt;br /&gt;[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.&lt;br /&gt;[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.&lt;br /&gt;[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.&lt;br /&gt;[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,&lt;br /&gt;[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.&lt;br /&gt;[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.&lt;br /&gt;[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.&lt;br /&gt;[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.&lt;br /&gt;[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.&lt;br /&gt;[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.&lt;br /&gt;[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.&lt;br /&gt;[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.&lt;br /&gt;[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relations:&lt;br /&gt;1. The woman "fled into the wilderness"&lt;br /&gt;where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO: 1260 Days = a time(1) and times(2) and half a time(.5) = 3.5 times&lt;br /&gt;Therefore: 1 time = 1260/3.5 = 360 (degrees).&lt;br /&gt;The book in which the phrase "time" is so used mathematically is Daniel's&lt;br /&gt;story of Nebu.chadnezzer. Nebu is an Egyptian root meaning "Lord," at least&lt;br /&gt;in Budge's transliteration of Ani. In any case, 1 time is the symbol Aten,&lt;br /&gt;a circle, with a dot at it's center indication resolution.  In fact, this&lt;br /&gt;is what Aten symbolizes, resolution, or "a time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this means is that there IS a coded pattern in the Book of the&lt;br /&gt;Revelation and it reveals the economic value of Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;This economic value, SOLELY--as documented in Revelation as the work&lt;br /&gt;of St. John the Divine--exists as the reason for the force and power&lt;br /&gt;of Jesus Christ in history.  This evidence of the power of one man&lt;br /&gt;is the reason for his story.  And today it is at conflict with the story&lt;br /&gt;of another man, Mohamed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-1057627485116704947?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/1057627485116704947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=1057627485116704947' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/1057627485116704947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/1057627485116704947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/03/viewed-in-context-of-first-miracle.html' title='Viewed in Context of the First Miracle'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-2828137511635323303</id><published>2010-03-24T06:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T06:29:58.686-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sudden Acceleration</title><content type='html'>I am informed that the number of reported Sudden Acceleration&lt;br /&gt;incidences has spiked dramatically.

And yet, there was the nagging feeling that--what with the&lt;br /&gt;earthquakes and all--we are, once again, under attack by aliens&lt;br /&gt;through sophisticated means of irregulating our corner of the celestial&lt;br /&gt;sphere.  If I experienced sudden acceleration, then it would be proven&lt;br /&gt;true.  Our world has come under attack by aliens who are causing all&lt;br /&gt;the shifts and phenomena that can be traced either to the core of&lt;br /&gt;the earth, or the psyche of the human.

It is for the professional&lt;br /&gt;gentle person and so it's not for "likes this" or LOL.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-321854154441382092?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/321854154441382092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=321854154441382092' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/321854154441382092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/321854154441382092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/01/status-update.html' title='Status Update'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-7240168912174055763</id><published>2010-01-18T15:06:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T15:08:10.531-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (the wurble)</title><content type='html'>Deny This:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A species of intelligent life that aborts its&lt;br /&gt;protoforms will be seen, by alien civilization,&lt;br /&gt;as a self-mutilating life form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why then do we expect any... communication from&lt;br /&gt;intelligent life that sees ALL life as&lt;br /&gt;sacred, unless (and I predict this) in the&lt;br /&gt;context of emancipation from the powerful forces&lt;br /&gt;of darkness that currently rule the human psyche.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-7240168912174055763?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/7240168912174055763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=7240168912174055763' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/7240168912174055763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/7240168912174055763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/01/extra-terrestrial-intelligence-wurble.html' title='Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (the wurble)'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-8414135628421231909</id><published>2010-01-18T10:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T10:12:55.727-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Done</title><content type='html'>The Scheduling App is done.

Animate life is found through&lt;br /&gt;the attributes of form and volition.  These&lt;br /&gt;two alone qualify an entity's person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Science&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of man's documented history and&lt;br /&gt;Because of his formal relationship to the&lt;br /&gt;animal, man has a dual form--one aspect,&lt;br /&gt;the baser, related to the animal, one aspect,&lt;br /&gt;the LORD related to an entity, a supreme&lt;br /&gt;reason for man's higher form, we call GOD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since man cannot be God, his animal form&lt;br /&gt;can possibly overshadow his LORD and, in&lt;br /&gt;fact, history shows that man is capable&lt;br /&gt;of most horrendous, the most animalistic&lt;br /&gt;cruelty--malevolence of the natural&lt;br /&gt;bent, and all for base lusts.  Some of&lt;br /&gt;us peer into the minds of these who confound&lt;br /&gt;humanity's common shared interest and&lt;br /&gt;wonder.  And soon we conclude that it must&lt;br /&gt;be true, that we are, aggregationally,&lt;br /&gt;more animal than human.  So, these... names&lt;br /&gt;that find themselves associated with a Supreme&lt;br /&gt;Deity, however they came to persist in our time,&lt;br /&gt;represent our specie's will to survive, to&lt;br /&gt;beat the curve of animality and embrace&lt;br /&gt;the higher... reason for the mind.  Why&lt;br /&gt;does the mind exist if not for the highest&lt;br /&gt;and noblest ideals?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In certain institutions, they have a ritual.&lt;br /&gt;It is a science course, but it is in the form&lt;br /&gt;of a ritual because there are constrained responses.&lt;br /&gt;You will understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, they tell the new Cadet, "man is a fallen species."&lt;br /&gt;Then they give the Cadet two hours to order the implications&lt;br /&gt;of that foundational characteristic of man in order of relevance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cadet more often than not concludes that the most relevant&lt;br /&gt;piece of information relative to man's status as a more animal&lt;br /&gt;than higher species is that if man had the ability to kill himself,&lt;br /&gt;he would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Man has the ability to kill himself" the Cadet and the Student agree.&lt;br /&gt;"Therefore," the Admiral enters,&lt;br /&gt;"Man will."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He means it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man will kill himself.  You don't believe it?  Look around you, sir.&lt;br /&gt;Look around you.  Man has the ability to kill himself, therefore man&lt;br /&gt;will.  It is why we invent a frame of reference to weight heavily&lt;br /&gt;on the conscience of a person.  It is why we sit atop high and heavenly&lt;br /&gt;towers and whisper with the ocean.  Man, sir, is an animal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there is any salvation, it is the wonder--how is it that we are so like&lt;br /&gt;the gorilla, and yet we have Motzart and Wagner?  THAT's the question.&lt;br /&gt;THAT's what leads men of nobility into the arts, searching for the answer&lt;br /&gt;to the Bethoveen's Fifth, in the era when men would rape women to emasculate&lt;br /&gt;their husband slaves.  Why do we have Bethoveen's Fifth and Slavery?  These,&lt;br /&gt;these are true mysteries.  For once you agree that man is a fallen species,&lt;br /&gt;for he is capable of inhuman cruelties, you marvel all the more at these..&lt;br /&gt;these precious... Children of God.  More and more, the reason for a higher&lt;br /&gt;self, becomes obvious.  God... a  Supreme deity differentiated perhaps&lt;br /&gt;from us in the way we differentiate from a gorilla?  And YES, God MUST &lt;br /&gt;love MOTZART... and the wind is evidence of this... if you would hear&lt;br /&gt;the whisper of God you would know that he was whistling a tune of&lt;br /&gt;such... noble aspirations.... so that Satan, the beast in man, does&lt;br /&gt;no longer test the mystery of the pharaohs....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The timetable for man's destruction is known as the Book of Life,&lt;br /&gt;and as many as have their names written in the book of life... &lt;br /&gt;are adjudged by God to have therefore been...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...the Sons of God..."&lt;br /&gt;"....(and daughters?&lt;br /&gt;("..?I didn't add that...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-5224745627648638745?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/5224745627648638745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=5224745627648638745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/5224745627648638745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/5224745627648638745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-we-believe.html' title='What We Believe'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-4154047725194450941</id><published>2010-01-18T08:54:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T08:55:28.762-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Benedict's Homily</title><content type='html'>"Man should be a good steward of the resources God has given him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The implications being that morality drives science and technology&lt;br /&gt;which drive quality of life.

According to Roe v. Wade,&lt;br /&gt;though formed, and provably so according to certain&lt;br /&gt;American institutions, I was not a "person" and so&lt;br /&gt;waited in limbo, alive in the womb, for my constitutional&lt;br /&gt;rights as an American.  Those were given to me in Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;I am headed back to California because I am certain that&lt;br /&gt;I am right and that the Northern Scientists are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;Immediately we should be clear that if I am right and&lt;br /&gt;they are wrong, the costs could be significant and&lt;br /&gt;substantial.  It would behoove us all, then, to be&lt;br /&gt;as honest as is possible.  America is a rich, prosperous&lt;br /&gt;society but not so much of the rest of the world, &lt;br /&gt;of which America's citizenry is gainfully populated by.&lt;br /&gt;Framing reality as is, given Haiti pre earthquake, is...&lt;br /&gt;to say the least, troubling.  This is not the way reality&lt;br /&gt;looks, ma'am, and your children are my evidence of this.&lt;br /&gt;I have tested the highest ranking of your religious men&lt;br /&gt;and they too fall far short of the rank of honesty to&lt;br /&gt;protect truth and American values.  It may explain&lt;br /&gt;many things, for the truth is never hidden.  Not even&lt;br /&gt;by the force of pressure of 2 billion foolish people,&lt;br /&gt;coerced at a moment's notice to continue upholding a lie,&lt;br /&gt;in the process ensuring the loss of direction of their&lt;br /&gt;civilization. It is a damning judgment, your honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I return to California, not only because I was asked&lt;br /&gt;to by Tharpa, but because it is there I belong.  Next&lt;br /&gt;to Venice Beach. I am only enabled, however, to return&lt;br /&gt;there by the logic of a Mason and the fruits of&lt;br /&gt;my research into the concept of User Controls (Custom).&lt;br /&gt;Because I have a complete User Control I have an App.&lt;br /&gt;Because I have an App I have a business. And so my first&lt;br /&gt;order of business is my health, and California it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is rare that a people are so rich and so ... directionless.&lt;br /&gt;But education reform is the only systematic way to solve&lt;br /&gt;this problem.  Be bold herr Secretary, and do what must&lt;br /&gt;be done.

When I was a little child I assumed&lt;br /&gt;that grown-ups had the legitimacy thus authority to&lt;br /&gt;control things because they had thought things through&lt;br /&gt;and had something to say about stuff.  Now a grown-up,&lt;br /&gt;I find a billion and a half people scared to admit that&lt;br /&gt;they don't REALLY believe or understand how a human&lt;br /&gt;being could walk on water, and so they just say that&lt;br /&gt;God visited us as a man some time back and we should&lt;br /&gt;accept the superstitious impossibilities, otherwise&lt;br /&gt;we are unsaved and bound for hell.  That's a billion&lt;br /&gt;and a half grown ups.  Therefore, the situation is&lt;br /&gt;dire.  I watch MTV Jams, as you know, from time to time&lt;br /&gt;to prove to myself that America is losing its way.&lt;br /&gt;The music, the conversation, trivial.  Very trivial.&lt;br /&gt;And, as is my way, I will prove it.  &lt;br /&gt;Though an avowed conservative, I love to listen to the&lt;br /&gt;conversation led by those considered, in the parlance&lt;br /&gt;of the Great Leader, "wildly liberal" (btw, one day&lt;br /&gt;our President may wonder then ask, ... why was that little&lt;br /&gt;lad so powerful during the elections? haw haw haw)...&lt;br /&gt;The dialog Moyer had with Bill T. Jones, for example,&lt;br /&gt;reflects the growing sense of dis-ease with America's&lt;br /&gt;value set.  Where next is there to go?  Yes, America needs&lt;br /&gt;a renewal, and in terms of competition and culture it seems&lt;br /&gt;only China can provide the drive.  Most of Western Civilization&lt;br /&gt;is in a moribund state, as the old colonized world begins&lt;br /&gt;to realize that however great the era of Jesus, we haven't&lt;br /&gt;had the continuity of ancient Egypt for example.  There's&lt;br /&gt;ways to go before we sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urgent education&lt;br /&gt;reform is the only solution to bring America back to the&lt;br /&gt;fore, and it is something dear to my heart, as the science&lt;br /&gt;kid.  We shall be discussing, as we move forward, ways in which&lt;br /&gt;America's credibility can be restored through educational&lt;br /&gt;improvements that are more whollistically determined than&lt;br /&gt;during the era of Miedeval America, which is still now&lt;br /&gt;for most people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-6783671805657726889?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/6783671805657726889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=6783671805657726889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/6783671805657726889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/6783671805657726889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-decline-treated-by-urgent.html' title='American Decline treated by Urgent Education Reform'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-3363590914029545119</id><published>2010-01-14T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-14T12:37:19.593-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Humanity's Hope</title><content type='html'>Socrates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the score board, however you look at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people in America claim to believe that a human&lt;br /&gt;being has walked on water, not in context, but&lt;br /&gt;that it actually, really, TRULY happened.

Stories of a man who walked on water mean nothing to&lt;br /&gt;one like me, unless placed in context of the same man who&lt;br /&gt;wrote the most exciting piece of historical art western&lt;br /&gt;civilization will ever behold.  In what forms does God&lt;br /&gt;exist and since the highest directive is to "Worship God"&lt;br /&gt;who is a spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and in&lt;br /&gt;truth, what form does spirit relate to and what form&lt;br /&gt;does truth relate to?  Spirit is of motion, and this&lt;br /&gt;explains the God without, the powerful force at the&lt;br /&gt;heart of all orbital motion.  The God within, the&lt;br /&gt;only evidence we have of this is human history,&lt;br /&gt;and our own volition.  With this volition we decide&lt;br /&gt;if and whether this "second force" outside of the&lt;br /&gt;powerful force of God's orbit, turned out to be a Good&lt;br /&gt;Force or a bad force.  It has made no sense to men of&lt;br /&gt;the cosmos that this force of volition would turn out&lt;br /&gt;to have been a bad force in history.  And yet, you&lt;br /&gt;agree that man is a fallen species.  Therefore, one&lt;br /&gt;day man will wipe himself off this planet and destroy&lt;br /&gt;his kind.  As such, the names in history that stand out&lt;br /&gt;are representatives of this "God within" that will make&lt;br /&gt;volitional force in the present a good and balancing&lt;br /&gt;force to the God without whose power is shown "from&lt;br /&gt;time to time" and in undeniable ways.  The Spirit&lt;br /&gt;is of motion.  The truth is of humanity.  To worship&lt;br /&gt;God one must worship God in spirit and in truth&lt;br /&gt;for God is spirit.  As well, to worship God means&lt;br /&gt;to obey his commandments [through Jesus] which take&lt;br /&gt;self-interest and contextualizes it in the only logical&lt;br /&gt;way because of which volitional force will turn out to&lt;br /&gt;be good.  The inability to... logically see this simple,&lt;br /&gt;sir, this trivial item I attribute to Satan being a real&lt;br /&gt;force, a good force gone bad during earlier days of&lt;br /&gt;power devolution in the universe, for if we cannot&lt;br /&gt;agree on this simple subtext to a wider discussion,&lt;br /&gt;why do you bother me often with other things? Speak&lt;br /&gt;sir, or face the ... might of a king.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-2897003155490731048?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/2897003155490731048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=2897003155490731048' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/2897003155490731048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/2897003155490731048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2010/01/two-forms-of-god-christian-logic-in.html' title='The Two Forms of God: Christian Logic, In Spiritus Sanctus (to worship God in Spirit and in Truth)'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-4127117369492533970</id><published>2010-01-13T12:28:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T12:45:21.476-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Winning the World Cup</title><content type='html'>Olanikpekun:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father, we are going to have to continue&lt;br /&gt;this... inter generational discourse another&lt;br /&gt;time.

However&lt;br /&gt;hard for you to believe it, I have no choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saidu, the object of soccer is its goal.  For&lt;br /&gt;example, one of the goals of a politician in&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria, unnamed (since I don't know his name)&lt;br /&gt;is to sponsor me to the rank of "Speaker of&lt;br /&gt;the House."  I declined, though flattered,&lt;br /&gt;and then thought about what a goal is.  The&lt;br /&gt;game of soccer is the manifest extension of&lt;br /&gt;the time before the game of soccer.  Your&lt;br /&gt;goals are to create space and control the&lt;br /&gt;PACE, Saidu, the PACE of the game.  You do&lt;br /&gt;so by creating a defense clad in iron, where&lt;br /&gt;only electricity moves, a medium that is&lt;br /&gt;fluid and a front line that is precise.&lt;br /&gt;It is good for you to have me to talk to&lt;br /&gt;about this, for you will take no one else's&lt;br /&gt;opinion, not even Keshi.  But he I fear is&lt;br /&gt;a bit too... dull for our types.  So here's&lt;br /&gt;the deal.  Identify your goals for the world&lt;br /&gt;cup.

They won however a blood sport&lt;br /&gt;is won.  The lengths, these days, to which&lt;br /&gt;people in Nigeria, for example, have gone&lt;br /&gt;in order to wield power demonstrates that,&lt;br /&gt;as with Christianity, Democracy is not&lt;br /&gt;proven in certain places.  Democracy is about&lt;br /&gt;representation, but except for the Igbo&lt;br /&gt;in Nigeria, all other nationalities have&lt;br /&gt;been ruled by Kings, Theocracy.  And yet&lt;br /&gt;we have had no Igbo leader in Democratic&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria, a democracy foisted upon the&lt;br /&gt;theocratic nationalities by the British.&lt;br /&gt;As such, when the Igbo complained that&lt;br /&gt;British Democracy in Nigeria scarcely resembled&lt;br /&gt;their indigenous democracy in Igbo land&lt;br /&gt;a war broke out.  The British said that&lt;br /&gt;Democracy in Nigeria was meant to favor&lt;br /&gt;British interests and not that of the &lt;br /&gt;original democracy of Igbo land attaining&lt;br /&gt;the name Biafra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, again, after a "military era"&lt;br /&gt;democracy in Nigeria has become a blood sport.&lt;br /&gt;People do all sorts of things--swear oaths&lt;br /&gt;in graveyards--in order to get power.  And so&lt;br /&gt;Democracy, again, is not proven.  Again,&lt;br /&gt;the Igbo leaders of culture say, "in Igbo land&lt;br /&gt;we know what Democracy is but this interference&lt;br /&gt;by British Interested Democracy is making things&lt;br /&gt;worse for our people not better."

I have always been fascinated by&lt;br /&gt;these, especially so when you discover even just&lt;br /&gt;one to be true.  Wow, you say to yourself, so men&lt;br /&gt;really think in this way.  Yes, indeed, man is&lt;br /&gt;manipulative and will use his power to influence&lt;br /&gt;reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American Press and perhaps segments of its&lt;br /&gt;intelligentsia have lapped up the story, without&lt;br /&gt;a second thought, Cousin Mayowa, without a second&lt;br /&gt;thought about its veracity--that a young Nigerian,&lt;br /&gt;wealthy and alienated, was "radicalized in Yemen"&lt;br /&gt;and then got instructions to blow up a plane.  This&lt;br /&gt;sounds very fishy to me, Mayowa, and yet no one&lt;br /&gt;smells this fish in the American media and perhaps&lt;br /&gt;segments of its intelligentsia.  But then I'm&lt;br /&gt;a bit wacko when it comes to conspiracies.  But how&lt;br /&gt;is it possible for the CIA not to know that this&lt;br /&gt;Nigerian was traveling to the Middle East and&lt;br /&gt;Yemen while with a multiple entry Visa signaling&lt;br /&gt;intent to visit the United States (or Germany?)&lt;br /&gt;A second glance, what might it reveal?&lt;br /&gt;Was the observational capacity of the Americans&lt;br /&gt;decimated with ambiguity, causing the Americans&lt;br /&gt;to follow the wrong people, while this wealthy&lt;br /&gt;and Alienated blogger was being radicalized?&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that any retaliatory strikes in&lt;br /&gt;Yemen would have to be done with the highest&lt;br /&gt;standards in mind.  Bill Clinton learned this&lt;br /&gt;in the Sudan where he was unable to dispel&lt;br /&gt;dissent about the target he chose to project&lt;br /&gt;America's power.  I think we are outmatched&lt;br /&gt;in this war on terror if we believe that we&lt;br /&gt;can solely use the tools of the criminal&lt;br /&gt;justice system to track a conspiracy that&lt;br /&gt;is as wide as the globe itself.&lt;br /&gt;Or that's the analysis...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-2796550093235343673?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/2796550093235343673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=2796550093235343673' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/2796550093235343673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/2796550093235343673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2009/12/conspiracy-theory.html' title='Conspiracy Theory'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-8714830152435094455</id><published>2009-12-28T12:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-28T12:21:57.769-08:00</updated><title type='text'>We Will Not Rest: Al Kaeda in Nigeria?</title><content type='html'>We will not rest until the plotters are found.&lt;br /&gt;This sounds like "we'll smoke them out."  An official&lt;br /&gt;pronouncement.  But will we in fact rest before&lt;br /&gt;the plotters are found?  Is this a mea culpa&lt;br /&gt;suggesting that there is, in fact, a war on&lt;br /&gt;terror and that such a context is in fact&lt;br /&gt;the only feasible way to combat terrorism?&lt;br /&gt;However unintellectual it sounds?  If we&lt;br /&gt;continue like this, using grave pronouncements&lt;br /&gt;but following up with half hearted policy, then&lt;br /&gt;we will be worse off than the Bush Administration,&lt;br /&gt;which could not admit that Saudi Arabia and&lt;br /&gt;Pakistan held a certain responsibility for 9-11.&lt;br /&gt;In the case of Pakistan, the administration&lt;br /&gt;was allied in the chase against Al Kaeda and&lt;br /&gt;Bin Laden.  I witness that.  But now, having&lt;br /&gt;been an eager journalist at NASA and the NSA,&lt;br /&gt;ooing and cooing over formulae "and stuff,"&lt;br /&gt;the question is asked of me by those who are&lt;br /&gt;familiar with my alliance building over&lt;br /&gt;a decade--is Nigeria allied with the United&lt;br /&gt;States in catching the plotters?  Even&lt;br /&gt;if we find that they are in Nigeria, at&lt;br /&gt;whatever levels of the hierarchy?  Will&lt;br /&gt;we, in fact, rest before the plotters&lt;br /&gt;are caught?

Indeed, soon, and just by&lt;br /&gt;trying, I could be awake during the most vivid&lt;br /&gt;dreams and at some point volition became relevant&lt;br /&gt;and then possible.  It is a sensation of flying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the context, one is able to maintain a&lt;br /&gt;sense of presence during dreams, but then one&lt;br /&gt;can forget these dreams the moment one wakes up&lt;br /&gt;for their displacement in space was an illusion.&lt;br /&gt;You are still where you are and that is reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the dream was intriguing to me.  At some point&lt;br /&gt;I stumbled upon what I have to myself called the&lt;br /&gt;"Hall of Records" where a human voice narrates&lt;br /&gt;a story and visions and scenes from it play out&lt;br /&gt;as the voice narrates in sequence.  Who are these&lt;br /&gt;people and who are they talking to, who are they&lt;br /&gt;telling these stories to, you wonder?  Until&lt;br /&gt;one day you are just about to fall asleep, just&lt;br /&gt;at the moment when you are about to officially&lt;br /&gt;lose consciousness then realize that you have&lt;br /&gt;been talking in your head to someone, stringing&lt;br /&gt;words together.  Well, hello to your thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I learned to follow my thoughts into dreamland&lt;br /&gt;and they blossomed into dreams and adventures.  Once&lt;br /&gt;I felt a sense of displacement as though I was flying&lt;br /&gt;but in truth it was me still being aware of physical body&lt;br /&gt;in space while not using my motor senses.  It's a rush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream, it turns out, is simply a signal of light&lt;br /&gt;that is generated from your daily memory, and to the extent&lt;br /&gt;that in the day time it is possible to be enveloped&lt;br /&gt;by the will or conversation of a person, then the night time&lt;br /&gt;translation would explain the hall of records.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within three years I knew where to go in dream land and when.&lt;br /&gt;The seasons change our memories, though at the time I was&lt;br /&gt;unaware that the dreams were being generated by the interaction&lt;br /&gt;between my memories and my daily views of life.  This... signal&lt;br /&gt;led me to believe that one day, in the dark of the universe, one&lt;br /&gt;signal of light did not end. It stayed alive even after the location&lt;br /&gt;where it existed had corrupted.  It stayed alive as the presence of&lt;br /&gt;an eternal memory whose thought was talking to God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually talk stopped and the thought became silent.  But the light&lt;br /&gt;still shone in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Arise"  God said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...and there was light...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-9107412843419833704?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/9107412843419833704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=9107412843419833704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/9107412843419833704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/9107412843419833704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-day-of-judgment-could-look-like.html' title='What the Day of Judgment could look like'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-7322819203319958219</id><published>2009-12-23T09:03:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T09:07:24.301-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What the name means</title><content type='html'>"God is powerful" my name speaks.

You see,&lt;br /&gt;BECAUSE of what God says when God moves&lt;br /&gt;there are many who condemn themselves to&lt;br /&gt;eternal destruction on the great and terrible&lt;br /&gt;day of judgment because they deny that God&lt;br /&gt;exists, even after they have seen God move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so today Nigeria stands in Judgment,&lt;br /&gt;and the name Chief (Oba) Akarue gave me&lt;br /&gt;reveals itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably will try to negotiate, as all&lt;br /&gt;men of doubled minded fervor do, some way out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have lived a good life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes... but was it good enough, in the day when&lt;br /&gt;God spoke to Nigeria?

Apparently&lt;br /&gt;the Esama was "posing" as the Oba.  These are the charges.&lt;br /&gt;On the day before I was sworn in to defend the United States&lt;br /&gt;against enemies foreign and domestic, I rendezvoused with&lt;br /&gt;one Chief Esama in Washington DC who seemed to me to be,&lt;br /&gt;quite obviously, the highest ranking Nigerian in the Federal&lt;br /&gt;hierarchy--to the extent that one exists--that I had ever&lt;br /&gt;met.  Na bloke o, Oba.  Di bob na bloke.  Even oyibo dey&lt;br /&gt;look am.  So what's this all about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, Chief Akarue, the registrar in the Nigerian&lt;br /&gt;Customary Court of the Mid West made some pact with the&lt;br /&gt;federal hierarchy.  Chief Akarue was an elder in the Ogboni&lt;br /&gt;as was his brother in Warri, and the two of them towered&lt;br /&gt;for decades over life in those parts.  We called them,&lt;br /&gt;in Hollywood (true story), "the Last Egyptian Wizards."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pact was meant to hold the Nigerian Monarchical family&lt;br /&gt;at ransom, that they would not disrupt the unity of Nigeria--&lt;br /&gt;not become too powerful, per se.  For whatever reason, this&lt;br /&gt;has meant mirroring the royal family and using me, a royal&lt;br /&gt;ordained by the witness of nature and in the presence of&lt;br /&gt;credible observers, as a judge.  And so every sphere of&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria I attend to I am met with a bipolar distinction,&lt;br /&gt;one related to the Nigerian federal hierarchy, which woos&lt;br /&gt;me incesantly, and one related to the Nigerian Royal family,&lt;br /&gt;with whom I have become friends with many of their children,&lt;br /&gt;having been elevated in status by by natural ordainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, when I heard that the Oba of Benin was going through&lt;br /&gt;something similar, I had to trace the reason.  The reason the&lt;br /&gt;Federal Hierarchy of "Mirror Monarchs", based in National Theater&lt;br /&gt;Eko, targeted the Oba, I suppose, is the Ogbe Hard Court&lt;br /&gt;tennis tournament that I attended with Bata Tomo in Benin&lt;br /&gt;a certain year when Tobi was commissioner.  I have told and&lt;br /&gt;retold this story, and even have laughed with the Oba's&lt;br /&gt;office about it--the juju.  Till today no one knows how that&lt;br /&gt;mat began dancing, but National Theater takes such things&lt;br /&gt;seriously while others shrug and laugh it off as phony tricks.&lt;br /&gt;However trickish, it was impressive to see a straw bundle begin&lt;br /&gt;dancing, when it was made evident that it was completely inanimate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, this battle in Benin is about Eko and the =Royal fam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I find myself in the center.  On the one hand pressured&lt;br /&gt;to sing "one Nigeria," on the other hand beginning to feel&lt;br /&gt;that if the legitimate Royal Family can demonstrate to me&lt;br /&gt;the highest levels of moral jurisprudence I would probably&lt;br /&gt;be on their side--there's so much corruption at the federal&lt;br /&gt;level that I cannot have my innocence tainted.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution, clearly, is the stemming of corruption at federal,&lt;br /&gt;which would not alienate those like me who straddle the sensitive&lt;br /&gt;middle ground between the Nigerian Federal Family and the Nigerian&lt;br /&gt;Royal Family.  The Esama's apology will only be meaningful to the&lt;br /&gt;Oba, or even myself, if this bipolarity ceases and the federal&lt;br /&gt;government stops fearing its own children.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-1139321190070463791?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/1139321190070463791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=1139321190070463791' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/1139321190070463791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/1139321190070463791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2009/12/esama-and-akarue.html' title='Esama and Akarue'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-8043173878982873435</id><published>2009-12-22T08:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T08:54:32.258-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Golden</title><content type='html'>We're golden sir.

Though Christ was a Scientist and&lt;br /&gt;Artist of the highest pedigree, he was first&lt;br /&gt;a moral man and a man of high security.  Clearly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The precision in the Revelation alludes, then,&lt;br /&gt;to a precision in Leviticus that the Priests of&lt;br /&gt;Moses attended to in their treatise on ritual&lt;br /&gt;sacrifice.  Again ordained by the Way of&lt;br /&gt;the Tree of Life.  The precision behind&lt;br /&gt;ritual sacrifice is simply the  Egyptian&lt;br /&gt;tradition of Maat placed in a Jewish&lt;br /&gt;allegorical context, which allegory is bounded&lt;br /&gt;by the blood of an animal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are certain that the Babylon of Nebuchadnezzer's&lt;br /&gt;time was an Egyptian civilization, therefore&lt;br /&gt;we know this to be true, granting the extent of&lt;br /&gt;the influence and dominance of Ancient Egypt&lt;br /&gt;on the psyche of the civilized man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moses and HIS disciples were able to break&lt;br /&gt;free of Egyptian Ritual Sacrifice as the&lt;br /&gt;source of a religion by defining ritual&lt;br /&gt;sacrifice in Jewish terms, or Levitican&lt;br /&gt;Law.  This is the sea of blood, or&lt;br /&gt;the Red Sea.  It is precision using&lt;br /&gt;the principles from Cain and Abel to&lt;br /&gt;learn what Adam did not know as a price&lt;br /&gt;for having Eve to explore.  And yet, Moses&lt;br /&gt;was able to condense this precision, for&lt;br /&gt;the masses, into ten commandments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, Jesus and HIS disciples were&lt;br /&gt;able to break free of Jewish Ritual Sacrifice&lt;br /&gt;and translate the Maat of Moses, in Jewish&lt;br /&gt;Form, into a Roman form that continues till&lt;br /&gt;today in the Vatican.  So the Vatican is&lt;br /&gt;the Roman form of  Maat and ritual&lt;br /&gt;sacrifice law.  And yet, Jesus was able to&lt;br /&gt;condense this precision, times and half times&lt;br /&gt;and all, into two commandments "upon which hang&lt;br /&gt;all the commandments."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1999, precision came upon some of us.  The warning,&lt;br /&gt;however, is that we are now able to condense this&lt;br /&gt;precision in simple statements.

I do not countenance anything&lt;br /&gt;short of the peace of God, especially for those who claim to follow&lt;br /&gt;Christ, so this is a serious issue and perhaps should be looked into.&lt;br /&gt;The testimony, thus far, is that he doesn't believe that he'll even&lt;br /&gt;make it to earthly resurrection, and this has been blatant and glaring.&lt;br /&gt;I have informed him, twice, that I have people always listening with me&lt;br /&gt;and I'm not sure if he understands, but it has become a matter of diplomacy&lt;br /&gt;for a man of that age cannot act, relative to a man such as myself, as&lt;br /&gt;unto a child.

But I have thus&lt;br /&gt;far been restrained, now that I am free to fight you,&lt;br /&gt;in my response.  Alas it seems that a major war is&lt;br /&gt;brewing and that I shall use my life to prove my point&lt;br /&gt;at the highest cost to your people and progeny. Surely,&lt;br /&gt;sir, you cannot be that selfish?  I have, till this moment,&lt;br /&gt;used Akindele, a childhood friend, as a symbol to represent&lt;br /&gt;"the Yoruba people."  But if I continue to sense your lack&lt;br /&gt;of capacity to take responsibility for the actions that&lt;br /&gt;have now brought our nation to the brink of catastrophe&lt;br /&gt;and war, then I shall join the ranks of those--and there&lt;br /&gt;are myriad--who say "I don't talk to Yoruba people."  And&lt;br /&gt;that would put paid to any pretensions to unity in our&lt;br /&gt;fragile polity.  As it is, since Akindele has gravity,&lt;br /&gt;it is OK to use him as a symbol.  But the beginnings of&lt;br /&gt;genocide are now upon us and I share common cause with&lt;br /&gt;the Igbo.  If I continue to be dissatisfied, then my&lt;br /&gt;racism, counselled by Christian Elders, will be complete,&lt;br /&gt;and I will become anti-Yoruba at the personal level.  Please&lt;br /&gt;attempt to see into the future and imagine what such&lt;br /&gt;a disposition MUST mean in our fragile polity.  Your friend,&lt;br /&gt;Seni Ajayi, knows fully well that there are many anti-Igbo&lt;br /&gt;and anti-Yoruba collectivities, but my joining their ranks&lt;br /&gt;is the surest bet yet that Nigeria shall entertain, once&lt;br /&gt;more--and to her great regret--a civil war, sir.

Then I came to the United States and&lt;br /&gt;have lived here eighteen years.  Under a different&lt;br /&gt;system of things.  My assessment is an honest one.&lt;br /&gt;It might never be the case that Nigeria redeems itself&lt;br /&gt;from its current rot.  The reasons have much to do with&lt;br /&gt;pride and little to do with ability.  The Nigerians use&lt;br /&gt;their vast intelligence the wrong ways and so while they&lt;br /&gt;have some of the best water ways in the world, and most&lt;br /&gt;conveniently located dams, they have problem with pipe&lt;br /&gt;borne water and electricity.  This is the case because&lt;br /&gt;of something we might call the "big man" effect.  It is&lt;br /&gt;a psychological statistic that is alarming which shows,&lt;br /&gt;by number, that MOST Nigerian managers use their talents&lt;br /&gt;for personal gain and if they used these talents to do&lt;br /&gt;their jobs then Nigeria would likely be a superpower.  &lt;br /&gt;There are no more intelligent people in the world than&lt;br /&gt;Nigerians, but intelligence is not wisdom, and this&lt;br /&gt;is something Nigeria lacks dangerously. Wisdom.  The wisdom&lt;br /&gt;of fathers.  Instead we have fathers teaching their&lt;br /&gt;children to steal and made to teach their children to&lt;br /&gt;be bad, in front of the whole world watching.  Nobody&lt;br /&gt;who has seen what I have witnessed truly believes&lt;br /&gt;that Nigeria will survive. None! It is merely blind patriotism&lt;br /&gt;that has us saying Nigeria will survive when in fact&lt;br /&gt;it decays by the day.  But then, the proof is in the pudding.&lt;br /&gt;If Nigeria's leaders, as defined by those who I have&lt;br /&gt;described, do not today and forthwith make a commitment&lt;br /&gt;to using their intelligence to work hard and make&lt;br /&gt;the needed change, then I predict the total collapse of&lt;br /&gt;Nigeria "...on or about October 16th, 2013."&lt;br /&gt;And this is my honest assessment.  I continue&lt;br /&gt;to work at LFOB-1 and enjoy my internships at NASA&lt;br /&gt;tremendously (though this is a bit more than an "internship").&lt;br /&gt;;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29825397964220549-9003734858894433892?l=gagaekeh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/feeds/9003734858894433892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29825397964220549&amp;postID=9003734858894433892' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/9003734858894433892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29825397964220549/posts/default/9003734858894433892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gagaekeh.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-assessment.html' title='My Assessment'/><author><name>Ire Urhobo Ama Juda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04325078277704196020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G2iX_jBFdZM/SuoaZ99iVdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/jOZn5dbbU64/S220/ak.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29825397964220549.post-6103796667897462104</id><published>2009-12-17T03:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-17T03:14:41.410-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Yoruba Ronu</title><content type='html'>Sir:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the case that you believed that this "ruse" with&lt;br /&gt;Akindele and Abosede would work.  You surprise me,&lt;br /&gt;incessantly, with your discredited argument that&lt;br /&gt;you know me.  Sir, it must be that you DO NOT know&lt;br /&gt;me, and to the extent that my diplomacy must be&lt;br /&gt;managed by those who know me, I have alerted Reston&lt;br /&gt;that you are no longer to be allowed, under any auspices&lt;br /&gt;or circumstances, to claim to speak for me.  Akindele&lt;br /&gt;I find to be totally childish and Abosede's conceptions&lt;br /&gt;completely trivial.  I hope these of your children do&lt;br /&gt;not speak for you, for it would make a claim concerning&lt;br /&gt;why our country remains the way it is.  It is a great&lt;br /&gt;tragedy that you could not tell that Akindele would&lt;br /&gt;burn and crash, as he has.  But since I put my mouth&lt;br /&gt;where my heart is, I will spend the next two decades&lt;br /&gt;proving to you that both Akindele and Abosede mean&lt;br /&gt;nothing to one who follows the true light of Olodumare.&lt;br /&gt;They are not the only ones, but you will also find&lt;br /&gt;this to be true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sir, you bury your head in the sands like an ostrich,&lt;br /&gt;relentlessly, but at this point the Americans can no &lt;br /&gt;longer allow you access.  So, your access is revoked&lt;br /&gt;and if you try to come back, I shall inform my&lt;br /&gt;Northern Nigerian brethren that the extent of your&lt;br /&gt;disturbance is of a pagan bent, and we shall see&lt;br /&gt;if "my power reach your power" as is your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was completely taken aback by your... experiment,&lt;br /&gt;mostly because I believed you at least had an idea&lt;br /&gt;of how I had grown to be.  But this your foolish&lt;br /&gt;ruse has shown you, sir, to be a man of not very clever&lt;br /&gt;ways.  I realize that your emotional maturity is now&lt;br /&gt;in question, and it should be.  How, sir, how could&lt;br /&gt;you imagine Akindele, as you sent him to me, to move&lt;br /&gt;one inch further?  OR Abosede with his trivial conceptions&lt;br /&gt;of God and such?  After all the time you have seen me&lt;br /&gt;spend with elders in the Christian Church, sometimes&lt;br /&gt;berating them for a lack of precision, you ought to have&lt;br /&gt;known that I can only respect those who carry the true&lt;br /&gt;light.  Abosede does not, and you know it.  And Akindele&lt;br /&gt;is just the exemplar I had used to others to demonstrate&lt;br /&gt;why I believe the Yoruba have their destiny set for them.&lt;br /&gt;You would do well to now pay attention to developing your&lt;br /&gt;sons and daughters and forget about me.  For if you don't,&lt;br /&gt;then you shall hurt more than these two symbols of friendship&lt;br /&gt;that are YOUR symbols not mine.  I am not your friend and&lt;br /&gt;I am not the friend of your children.  Rasta Pharaoh, sir,&lt;br /&gt;walks alone.
