Watching the classic “Clash of the Titans”, I couldn’t help but ask the simple question.

What the hell does Medusa do all day?

Think about it. You were an absolute beauty priestess who got seduced by the god Poseidon, transformed into an abomination gorgon by a jealous Athena and finally cast away to the Isle of the Dead, where you spend your days doing what? For people to even pay you a visit, they have to pay the Charon to take you over the river of death to get to you. Then if they make it, the very sight of you will turn them into stone.

That just sounds like a depressing scenario for anyone to be living. What does she eat? It’s a fucking island! She can’t look at nobody or they turn to stone and that ain’t edible. How does she kill time when not turning things to stone and slithering about? Does she twitle her thumbs? Does she sculpt? I would. Does she sleep away the days? Does she sleep at all? Maybe she has imaginary friends. Perhaps she writes tragedies all day. She has plenty of inspiration for that. Does she pray for better days? She was a priestess you know. I don’t know man, just saying…

Cheating partners are generally careless but cheating spouses are rather inconsiderable, selfish and ruthless if you think of the risks they subject their spouses to. Unfortunately infidelity does not only stop upon the fulfilment of cheater’s…

If you listen to the Ski & Critical Show, we did a “Who’s Ish Is Hotta” contest. Here is Na’shay talking about her single “Lovin’ You!” She’s pretty cute. (and also too young!) But if you wanna hear her song inthe battle, check out The Ski & Critical Show (Episode # 35) Now here’s Na’Shay

Ruth, the Gentile lady who married a Jew, and helped to bring the Messiah into the world, is one of the greatest converts in the Bible. She is also a good example of someone who, despite all opposition, placed her faith in God and His grace.

First, Ruth’s own background opposed her. She was from Moab, the land of false gods, human sacrifices, and fornication. Also, her circumstances opposed her. With her husband, brother-in-law, and father-in-law all dead, she seemed to be a hopeless widow. Next, her sister-in-law deserted her, and went back home to find a husband. Even her mother-in-law, who should have been encouraging her in the Lord, began to oppose her.

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

Ruth 1:15

How is it that Ruth overcame all this opposition, and went on to experience victory, and the honor of being found in the earthly genealogy of Jesus Christ? The answer is found in Ruth 2:12: “The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.” She had come to trust the LORD God. Remember, God never abandons those who trust in Him, and His promises never fail, even in the face of the most dire circumstances and oppositions.

Just had to mention one funny occurence before I take my leave; this happened weeks ago, and I can’t believe I forgot to mention it to you all.

I’m waiting in a dense crowd of about 50, and the crowd is placidly waiting before the bus comes.

A rumbling THUMPTHUMPTHUMP reaches the mass from the distant rows of Guam South P.  The commuters are confused–This isn’t the regular signal that turns them from zombies to ruthless. 

“…What?”

“Do you hear that?”

Everyone can.  Some are looking around for the source of the wierd THUMPTHUMPTHUMP, but I’ve already spotted the culprit:

Some guy trolling for a spot is meandering ever-so-slowly through the rows, the THUMPTHUMPTHUMP of his bass reverberating off the Subarus and Hundais.

Finally, he drives past the crowd and bad 80’s hip-hop filters out the darkened windows.  But not even the most illegal tint could have obscured his smug grin and sunglasses. 

THUMP.
THUMP.                                                                                                                       THUMP.

From the sound quality, I’d said it was either a botched job from a home stereo kit or from Circuit City.

A girl in front of me turns up the volume on her iPod and mutters,

“What an idiot.”

Found on the Craigslist Orlando art/media/design jobs listing. Listing

These words are the damn truth…

Every day, there are more and more CL posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.

But what they’re NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.

To those who are “seeking artists”, let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? …none?

More than likely, you don’t know any. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be posting on craigslist to find them.

And this is not really a surprise.

In this country, there are almost twice as many neurosurgeons as there are professional illustrators. There are eleven times as many certified mechanics. There are SEVENTY times as many people in the IT field.

So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? Would you look him in the eye, with a straight face, and tell him that his compensation would be the ability to have his work shown to others as you drive down the street?

Would you offer a neurosurgeon the “opportunity” to add your name to his resume as payment for removing that pesky tumor? (Maybe you could offer him “a few bucks” for “materials”. What a deal!)

Would you be able to seriously even CONSIDER offering your web hosting service the chance to have people see their work, by viewing your website, as their payment for hosting you?

If you answered “yes” to ANY of the above, you’re obviously insane.

If you answered “no”, then kudos to you for living in the real world.

But then tell me… why would you think it is okay to live out the same, delusional, ridiculous fantasy when seeking someone whose abilities are even less in supply than these folks?

Graphic artists, illustrators, painters, etc., are skilled tradesmen. As such, to consider them as, or deal with them as, anything less than professionals fully deserving of your respect is both insulting and a bad reflection on you as a sane, reasonable person. In short, it makes you look like a twit.

A few things you need to know;

1. It is not a “great opportunity” for an artist to have his work seen on your car/’zine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a “great opportunity” for YOU to have their work there.

2. It is not clever to seek a “student” or “beginner” in an attempt to get work for free. It’s ignorant and insulting. They may be “students”, but that does not mean they don’t deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a “student” once, too. Would you have taken that job at McDonalds with no pay, because you were learning essential job skills for the real world? Yes, your proposition it JUST as stupid.

3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether it’s one or one million, is NOT a valid enticement. Neither is the right to add that work to their “portfolio”. They get to do those things ANYWAY, after being paid as they should. It’s not compensation. It’s their right, and it’s a given.

4. Stop thinking that you’re giving them some great chance to work. Once they skip over your silly ad, as they should, the next ad is usually for someone who lives in the real world, and as such, will pay them. There are far more jobs needing these skills than there are people who possess these skills.

5. Students DO need “experience”. But they do NOT need to get it by giving their work away. In fact, this does not even offer them the experience they need. Anyone who will not/can not pay them is obviously the type of person or business they should be ashamed to have on their resume anyway. Do you think professional contractors list the “experience” they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmother’s house when they were seventeen? If you your company or gig was worth listing as desired experience, it would be able to pay for the services it received. The only experience they will get doing free work for you is a lesson learned in what kinds of scrubs they should not lower themselves to deal with.

6. (This one is FOR the artists out there, please pay attention.) Some will ask you to “submit work for consideration”. They may even be posing as some sort of “contest”. These are almost always scams. They will take the work submitted by many artists seeking to win the “contest”, or be “chosen” for the gig, and find what they like most. They will then usually have someone who works for them, or someone who works incredibly cheap because they have no originality or talent of their own, reproduce that same work, or even just make slight modifications to it, and claim it as their own. You will NOT be paid, you will NOT win the contest. The only people who win, here, are the underhanded folks who run these ads. This is speculative, or “spec”, work. It’s risky at best, and a complete scam at worst. I urge you to avoid it, completely. For more information on this subject, please visit http://www.no-spec.com/

So to artists/designers/illustrators looking for work, do everyone a favor, ESPECIALLY yourselves, and avoid people who do not intend to pay you. Whether they are “spec” gigs, or just some guy who wants a free mural on his living room walls. They need you. You do NOT need them.

And for those who are looking for someone to do work for free… please wake up and join the real world. The only thing you’re accomplishing is to insult those with the skills you need. Get a clue.

Meant to be published back in Sept. Something that shot out in the middle of the night..

The birds took flight up and away near the beginning of the day. Destinations far, paths predetermined, but not by fate, but by a blinded sermon. Some fell to the rock, some fell to the ground, others hit steel, and since then it is all too real.

A wake up call to the world, your doing wrong to ol’ girl. Marauding the soul, since then it’s taken a great toll, And now new history unfolds with promise of change, but ain’t it strange, the feelings still there, a fresh open tear that should no longer bear. These wounds won’t heal, the people in charge haven’t made the deal, to move forward and find peace of mind, body and soul. To rid the indifference that’s ruling this world.

The birds intentions were simple and direct, they were there to fly, they were there to connect.

So run life to the sun until she burns out.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

In this final section of his list of the characteristics of the man or the nation without God, Paul lists five things that they do not have.

In the Greek, this verse is five words, all beginning with the prefix a-. The prefix a- in the Greek means without or the opposite, similar to un- in English. For example, someone who believes in God is a theist. Someone who believes there is NO God is an a-theist.

Let’s examine these five words and see exactly what someone who has reached the bottom of the death spiral is doing without:

asynetos – without understanding, intelligence, wisdom and education. This is what happens when you reach the bottom of the death spiral. You start to lose intelligence.

A society that reaches the bottom of the death spiral becomes a society without intelligence. The government often prefers the people to be without intelligence and without education as they are easier to manipulate.

Look at education in the UK at the moment: every year the examination results increase and statistically the students are smarter. Then we look at the examination papers and the mark schemes and find out that the examinations are continually being “dumbed down” (for just a small example of this, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6244942.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/1507358.stm). More and more students are going to universities, but then we find out that these universities are jumped up polytechnic colleges offering what are pejoratively called Mickey Mouse degrees!

It also means that they cannot draw parallels or make inferences. Their logic skills are completely flawed. So many young people cannot use logic to make an argument or formulate a decision. People are passion led, not intelligence led. Intelligence is not always the right answer, but someone who follows reason will be healthier, wealthier and happier than someone who lives on passion.

Jesus only uses this word once (read through Matthew 15.1-21, it is in v.16 Jesus uses the word and the KJV translates it as “without understanding”) when Peter fails to understand a parable that He told the disciples. People without understanding cannot grasp a parable or analogy – especially a spiritual one, it is simply beyond them.

This phrase does not just mean without an education or without intelligence, but it also means without understanding morality.

People at this level of the death spiral commit sins and then are genuinely surprised at the consequences. It is no longer a case that they do not want to walk in holiness, they honestly do not know what is pure and what is impure any more.

They exalt things that the Bible calls sins such as homosexuality and the murder of unborn children, and reject and mock things that the Bible calls pure such as humility, walking in forgiveness and having an absolute standard of truth.

asynthetos - This word means without agreement or without a joining together. It is only used here in the Bible because you absolutely have to be reprobate to be in this place.

It means that no-one agrees with you and you agree with no-one. The Jews would use this word to describe someone with no faith in God at all.

Someone without agreement is someone that is always contrary. If you say “black”, they say “white”. They could not even explain why they say white, they just have to disagree.

Obviously someone with a mind this disturbed cannot follow God. Whatever God says, they say and do the opposite.

These are people that enjoy and relish rubbing others up the wrong way, take pleasure in arguments and disagreements. They will deliberately try and start arguments and fights.

One of the greatest things about being a Christian for me is that when you find another Christian, you know there are so many things you agree on. There is so much you have in common. It is wonderful. Just today I went to see a friend who is part of our church, I was only in his house for 10-15 minutes on the way back from a bit of shopping.

But it was wonderful. There was just so much harmony and agreement. I had just had some non-Christians disagree with me and were rather rude to me, and it was lovely just to be with a Christian and be in harmony with someone.

We all like walking in harmony with people. But, imagine having no harmony, no agreement with anyone. That is what this word reveals about people at the bottom of the death spiral.

astorgos - Storge is one of the four Greek words for love. It means affection: the love you have for things you are accustomed to.

Just as a quick reminder: phileo love is the love you have for your family and your friends. It can often be translated in the Bible as brotherly love.

Eros love is the love you have for someone that you are romantically and sexually linked with. For Christians this should only be your marriage partner! Eros is not a sinful lust, but a true romantic and sexual attraction that is God-given.

Storge love is the love you have for something you are familiar with. If you say that you love a particular song, it is storge - it is the song that you know and hear and love. You love your slippers – that is storge, they are your slippers and you know them and you love being in them. Brand new slippers would be worse than your pair of slippers even though they are old and tatty. Why? Storge. We are designed to be affectionate to things that have been in our life.

This word is often used for the love a mother has for a baby: the mother does not have a friendship with the child in the same way sisters or good friends do – there is no reciprocal relationship. It certainly is not eros love, but the infant child is cherished. Why? Because it is a major part of your life and you could not ever imagine being without that baby.

Agape love is the highest kind of love: it is the love for something that is not lovely. It is compassion and love that manifests in action. The other three loves are conditional (phileo: you have to still be my friend; storge: you have to still be in my life; eros: you have to stay sexually attractive) but agape is completely unconditional. You love because you are loving, not because the other person is lovable!

Now, as soon as you start to descend down the death cycle, agape goes. You stop unconditionally loving anyone and everyone who you love must fit certain conditions.

As you continue down the death cycle, eros dies and all your are left with is lust. You cannot love someone as a partner. All your relationships are casual, immoral sex or vile passions.

As you continue further down the death cycle, phileo dies. You cannot form friends any more, you do not hesitate to backstab the people you used to call friends. You are so prideful that you consider these people to be worth nothing so what is the problem of abandoning them.

But, storge only goes when someone is at the very bottom of this cycle. When someone has no natural affection they are certainly someone with a reprobate mind. We are talking about someone who could never even treat a pet properly. Even criminals look after their pets. Even the Mafia treat babies well.

Only someone with a reprobate mind could hurt a baby, or an innocent little animal. I mean hurt them just for cruelty. They simply have no natural affection. If you know someone and you think they could easily murder a kitten, that is someone without storge.

In addition, possessions mean nothing to them. They would smash their own bed and house into pieces in a fit of rage and not care.

They are not even nice when being nice costs nothing. A “hello” at the shop, or a thank you if someone moves out of their way.

There are people at this stage in our nation. I praise the Lord the whole nation is not like this. I believe that everyone in the time of Noah was like this: how else could it be that not one single person joined him in the ark? Not one person even thought: I will just sit in the ark on the day Noah said it was going to rain and then if it does not rain I will get out and have a laugh at Noah.

No people at the time of Noah were completely without understanding, without agreement and without natural affection. Noah must have lived in a dreadful world.

aspondos – The KJV translates this word as implacable, the NKJV goes with the more understandable word “unforgiving”. The NIV and most modern translations follow the NU-manuscript and do not have this word in their Bible translation.

I am not going to spend any time discussing the merits of the different Greek manuscripts or textual criticism, I am just going to state that I believe that aspondos is in the original text and that I believe I have good reasons for believing that. If you do not believe that, fine – just go straight onto the final word and do not read any more of what I say about this word!

Aspondos means without an offering. Spondos is the Greek word for a drink offering (see Php. 2.17 and 2 Tim. 4.6 for the word spondos). Aspondos means without a drink offering (In theology, libation is the technical term for a drink offering)

The drink offering is first found in Genesis 35.14 where Jacob pours a bottle of oil onto the ground to thank God for speaking to Him. Jacob is now at a place where his hardship has ended and God is moving powerfully in his life, so Jacob offers a drink offering.

Drink offerings had to be from pure wine (Numbers 28.7). Wine is often in the Bible a symbol of joy (Psalm 104.15) and gladness. When a Nazarite had finished his season of separation and could return to living normally he had to make a drink offering (Numbers 6.1-21). Finally, every feast day had to have a drink offering (Lev. 23.13, 18, 37).

Drink offerings in the Old Testament are a pouring out of wine onto the ground to represent the joy and gratitude of having God work in our life. In the New Testament, Paul refers to his life as a drink offering (2 Tim. 4.7) – in other words, Paul says that his life was wine given over to the ground as a sign of joy of having God work in his life. No wonder Paul could say “Rejoice in the Lord always!” (Php. 4.4) – his whole life was full of joy because he was living for Jesus, being poured out for Jesus. Every day for Paul was a day of destiny, of adventure, of joy – for me to live is Christ (Php. 1.21) he told us.

Now, people at the bottom of the death spiral are completely without joy. They know nothing of living for a cause, they know nothing of living for another person. They do not know the joy of having God work in their life. Nothing in their life ever feels finished, feels right, feels complete. They are without a drink offering.

The drink offering is the moment when God delivers you and you say thank you. It is the moment you stand in front of your church and tell them God delivered you and people are delivered and encouraged and inspired.

People at the end of the death spiral know nothing of the joy of being set free by God or setting anyone else free. They do not even know how to encourage someone or bless someone.

They live a life without joy. No wonder so many of them turn to drinking wine as a cheap substitute for the wine of the drink offering. No wonder so many of them live life from one moment to the next using chemicals to either dull the edge (Prozac) or take them to a new high (cocaine).

aneleēmōn – without mercy. In Matthew 5.7 Jesus said “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”. Mercy is the ability to withhold judgment and not treat someone according to their sins. It means the ability to let offenses pass.

People at the bottom of the death spiral cannot do this. If you look at them the wrong way, they might kill you. If you say something they do not understand, they might hit you. If you believe in a God they hate, they may try and destroy your life and humiliate you. The NIV translates aneleemon as ruthless, and that is an excellent translation. If you cross someone in this state, they will do anything to get you back. They will not be upset spending time in jail because they know they had to get you back.

Any crime against them will result in their judgment, their fury and their rage being thrown in your direction. They cannot forgive, they are eaten up inside day after day replaying the offenses they have received from people over the years.

A nation that is without mercy is a terrifying prospect especially in the day of nuclear weapons. Yet, there are nations in this place on the planet today.

This is the last item in Paul’s 22 item description of someone who is reprobate. I believe it is last because it is the worst place to be. To be unmerciful is a horrible thing to be for three reasons.

1. You cannot ever have internal peace. You are always imagining the hurts other people have caused you, you are always thinking about and imagining ways to hurt the people who have slighted you.

If you have ever seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gollum is someone who could be described as someone who is aneleemon. If you remember the scenes where he is muttering to himself about Bilbo stealing from him, or some other slight against him. His lack of mercy drove him insane, leading him to have some form of split personality. There are people just like that in the world: insane simply because they refused to let an offense go!

2. You cannot form relationships. Listen – every single relationship (your marriage, your employment, your church, your family, your friends, your cell group, your neighbourhood – EVERYONE!!!) will cause you grief at some point or another. No-one is perfect, therefore someone at some point is going to say something you did not like, do something you did not want them to do, or have an opinion you do not appreciate.

Most people are able to look past people’s imperfections and still love them and fellowship with them. Mature people realize that they are imperfect themselves and give a little because they would appreciate people giving a little with them!

People without mercy cannot do this. If the wife burns the dinner, she must be punished. If the pastor attacks your pet doctrine, not only must you leave the church but do so in the most hurtful and disruptive way possible. If the family let you down, leave them.

It must be horrible to never be able to form long term relationships. The saddest thing is that because someone is astorgos as well, they do not even care that they are alienating everyone around them. This is indeed hell on earth.

3. You cannot receive mercy. Jesus was quite clear: the merciful are blessed because they receive mercy (Matthew 5.7). He also told us more than once that if we did not forgive, then we could not be forgiven.

Merciless people end up in hell. The same justice they have ruthlessly put on others is the same measure God will use on them. Like Haman, merciless people build the gallows that they will be hung on.

Read through Matthew 18.21-35 and see a perfect picture of aneleemon. The unforgiving servant will punish anyone that crosses him, which is the only reason he ended up being punished.

Make sure today that you are merciful. If people sin against you, forgive them seven times seventy times. Yes for them so that they are free, but also for you because an unmerciful person is never free and will never be free until they forgive.

Glory and freedom,
Benjamin

Random fact about me:  I’m studying business management. There are many people in my college with supposedly the same interests, but many of them will never make it past the first rung of the managerial ladder because they are not like me. They are incapable of making decisions, and question the ones they do make. They show up late if they show up at all, and do the bare minimum required to pass. Yet they all have these grandiose visions of sitting behind a CEO’s desk. Hate to break to them, but they never will because, unlike me, they’re not willing to put in the work and do whatever it takes

I’ve known I’ve wanted to be a manager for as long as I can remember. That position was solidified when I got my first management job and loved it. My goal is to make it to the top, and I don’t particularly care who I have to step on to get there. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, and if you can’t keep up, it’s not my problem. I’m not going to go out of my way to sabotage my coworkers–since that could backfire–but I also certainly won’t go out of my way to help them if I see no benefit in it for me. Cold? Certainly. Bitchy? Definitely. The key to success? Absolutely.

A coworker of mine suggested that EK and I team up since she seems to share the same brutal mentality. The world better hope that we never do, however, because we would rule you all

She aint scared of my mothafucking ass

“Everything we say is a reflection of the world of people. You talk and act the way you do because you’re clinging to the human form.” – don Juan, The Power of Silence

The dominant paradigm is a by-product of the foreign installation.  It challenges humans to comply with a prescribed mode of behavior that does not inherently belong to them.   It has been ingrained since the time of conception and is cultivated throughout the lifetime of each human, dictating to them how to act, speak, and conduct themselves in alignment with the unconscious culture, the people that keep the wheel spinning, each of them a mere cog in the wheel.

Humans are essentially following a value structure that has been handed down from generation to generation over a very long period of time.  A hierarchy has been created that leaves little or no room for deviation.  And it has been growing out of control for too long.  It is time to break free of the mold, to lose human form.  Daniel Quinn refers to this paradigm as Mother Culture.  In his book Ishmael, “Mother Culture is the constant hum in the background that we don’t recognize as a separate entity because she has always been here, will always be here.”  In his books, Quinn talks about how flawed this paradigm is in how it believes that if something doesn’t work then we’ll do more of it.  If something doesn’t work then it doesn’t work and we must find a new way to approach it but Mother Culture leaves little room for ingenuity and instead changes the players thinking that somehow they can apply the old way more fervently to reach a desired outcome. 

A warrior seeks to lose human form, to break free of the mold of man and all of the attributes that are associated to it.  To lose human form means to enter into a high level of detachment, the state of being in which one overcomes his attachment to desire for things, people, and mostly, the concepts of the world.   From this new, heightened awareness one moves more into the configuration of pure being…through perceiving.  Perceiving with detachment becomes more like a knowing, it is an opportunity to align oneself while deepening the connection one has to raw energy and in essence, become many of the fibers of energy floating all around us, simultaneously.

With this said, human beings innately know how to conduct themselves appropriately to their surroundings and environment, no longer limited by attempting to adhere to the strict expectations placed upon them by the dominant paradigmatic structure.  A sense of balance is restored as a deeper connection is reestablished with the earth.  The ability to perceive is limitless and enhanced once the long imprinted perceptual filters of civilized behavior have been subverted. 

There are millions of perceptory fields available to humans at all times and many of these are amazingly beautiful.  It is the very thing don Juan spoke of to Carlos, freeing oneself from the entanglement of the lines of energy that don’t belong to you, making yourself free to grab on to the lines or fibers of your own choosing, of your own creation to valiantly go where no one has gone before. 

We are living in a time where it is becoming critical to gently and ruthlessly assist people in waking up, to stop their world in order to allow them to become aware of the lie they have been living.  The way of the Toltec warrior is not a secret and should not be treated as one.  While it is considered to be shrouded in mystery, it really is not, it is a fundamental return to oneself that allows one to see the greater truth of all things, beyond the myth of civilization.
