Down Time
As in lying down and sleeping a lot.
[Edited: Minor redaction of details.]
Hello all, and greetings to the new subscribers.
There was once an organization that I happened to belong to that had an issue with the term “down time”. They were viewing it in terms of taking “time off”, rather than what I’m going through right now, which is being sick. No, not of the world (although I very much still am), but having come down with something three days ago, spending most of my time lying down, staying quite warm, and sleeping much of the day ever since. Supplements and pharmaceuticals have no role in this; I’m toughing it out as usual, although choosing my foods more carefully.
I believe that organization used the term “body damage” for where I am right now. Their answer to “down time” was to take “on time”. As in being “on”, rather than “down”. If you recognize any of this, however, don’t assume which organization it was. Different ones liked to copy off of each other, including the terminology. This one, along with its founder, eventually self-destructed. I would call that “Organization Off Time”, in combination with “Terminal Body Damage”.
I am hopefully not approaching that stage just yet. I’m feeling a little better this morning, after a good sweat last night suggesting a fever break. I don’t bother to measure my temperature so I don’t know if I had a fever or not. It might take a few more of those cycles to finish this thing off. I’ll wait.
I had planned a new post, but then a series of unexpected things happened, culminating in this “down time”, that made that not possible for now. (I have somehow come to expect this.) I did manage to eke out a few lengthy comments, however, such as this one. There were more, but for the sake of new subscribers not yet familiar with my past, I’ll not link them here. (Yes, that bad.) It’s pretty much all in the archives, for the curious.
I am also planning to follow this post with a cross-post from Karen Hunt, leaving her to do the serious writing today, while I scramble to catch up with other things. I’m also linking her post here, just in case. She writes about “terrible people”, but she also writes about our role in what goes on.
Feel better, don't dehydrate.
I read that article you cross-posted and will tell you what I said there. I only mention this because it was a random epiphany that struck the other day while vacuuming, and it is this: I've always had a good and proper horror of the mark of the beast, and assume it will be some kind of implantable tech that most will get because why not, efficient! I would ponder why people who went this route would be unable to reverse course, and figured God would block them somehow as punishment for their rebellion. And then it hit me. God is quite literal. As in: choose Me, choose life; reject Me, choose death. We send ourselves to hell, or not. He gave us free will, which is awesome and incredible. So. Take a bit of tech that links you to an external control and say good bye to your free will. You will be literally unable to change your mind, because your mind will no longer be yours. In fact, you won't know you've made a terrible mistake. "And God will send a strong delusion on them." I haven't felt the same since (though part of that could be the migraine that has threatened for two weeks, and arrived in port early this morning). Horrifying.
Might be wrong. Could be. But I think I'm onto something.
