My Coffee Princess

Here's a little ditty I wrote about loving a coffee addict. Enjoy it with a cup of joe. 

A Morning Smoothie to Save Your Soul

"And lo, the angel of the Lord came unto me and said, Build thou a blended beverage made with all manner of medicinal herbs and nutritive roots, for a day dawns that will test thy resolve and a great trial awaits thee. Therefore thou shalt make it with ashwaghanda, shatavari, arjun, cacao, red maca, bee mana, vanilla bean powder, organic sulfer, coconut oil, monatomic magnesium, sunflower seeds. Thou mayest add xylitol as thou wishest, for though it is a bastard derivative it is a boon for thy teeth... and thou shalt clench thy teeth in the fullness of time. Take these and anything else that thou desirest and pile them into a VitaMix blender along with ice, for the world is a hot and fetid place and thou shalt cool thy belly to cool the earth. Using that mighty electric force blend finely all these herbs and drink and make thy heart merry with a song for a day cometh that will be filled with the shouts of war."           ~ Buffalo 6:6

Jacob and Bella Tiff on the New Moon

Having received so much positive feedback about my read from Twilight Chapter 14, I decided to make another recording. This is from the 13th chapter of New Moon. Bella and Jacob have a dire misunderstanding about murders in the near woods. Tempers flair and the sexual tension is as tasty as dog food.

Back and Forth with Tucson City Court

So, many of you will recall I mailed an appeal to Tucson City Court regarding a traffic violation. You can read that letter here. They received my appeal and loved it! They wrote me back and after letting their response marinate in my PO box for a couple of weeks, I got right on it. Here's how it went...

To which I graciously responded...

Barbie says, "Gmar Chatimah Tovah"

THOU has seen, O Israel, 

How, for the sake of creation, 

The One Life that I am

Seemeth to divide itself,

Becoming two. 

Of these two, I have made known to thee 

My superior nature, the Crown of Primal Will 

Wherein I have my supreme abode.

Hearken now, 

While I expound the mystery of mine inferior nature, 

Which standeth in the Tree of Life 

As the Sephirah of Wisdom.

Forget not that these two, 

Though they be named superior and inferior, 

Are in truth of equal rank.

As it is written: “That which is below is as that which is above, 

And that which is above is as that which is below.” 

Be thou not led astray by their false doctrine 

Who ascribe to the inferior nature 

Somewhat less of power and worth 

Than inhereth in the superior. 

The two are as the pans of a balance. 

Each hath its own peculiar quality.

Each hath its appointed sphere of operation. 

One cometh not before the other, 

But together they exist 
From everlasting to everlasting.

Mine inferior nature is the universal substance, 

The divine mirror

Wherein I, who dwell at the heart of all things, 

Am reflected to myself.

To the uninstructed, therefore, 

Who mistake the reflection for that which is reflected, 

My secondary nature seemeth to be more interior 

Than the Primal Will. 

This error may be likened to the illusion which ariseth 

When one seeth a room reflected in a glass, 

And thinketh he seeth the room itself. 

For though what presenteth itself in the mirror of

Wisdom is internal, 

The medium of reflection hath its place in the without, 

In the realm of secondary and created things.

As the substance whence all forms arise, 

The vehicle of my divine essence, 

Mine inferior nature is to the superior 

As is passive to active,

As woman to man,

As Eve to Adam. 

Yet to every Light of Emanation

Proceeding from it on the Tree of Life 

Doth this same Wisdom stand as Root and Source. 

Hence in the Scripture is Wisdom spoken of as a woman, 

As when it is said, “Wisdom hath builded her a house”; 

But elsewhere to this same Wisdom 

The wise assign the title AB, the Father. 

Never is the heavenly Wisdom known as Mother, 

For She is the virgin substance of all things, 

Whose purity naught can defile.

Remember now that I myself am the pure KNOWING 

Whence all manifestation ariseth. 

Recall to mind that my superior nature is the Primal Will, the Eternal Watcher, 

Under whose regard the stream of creation floweth. 

The substance of the stream is the inferior nature, 

Wherein I see innumerable images of myself. 

These be all things and creatures, great and small.

Whatever existeth 

Is as a ripple on the surface of the stream, 

But all are of the one substance. 

Thus all share in the peculiar quality

Of the stream itself, 

Which is the mirror of myself to myself,

The root of all remembrance.

Creation is the record of mine ever-changing manifestation. 

All things bear the imprint of the history of the universe. 

Nothing of mine activity escapeth this record. 

In it do men share, because they, too,

Are parts of the stream of mine inferior nature. 

Thus are they partakers in my perfect recollection, 

Which is the source of all memories, 

And the root of all the wisdom of mankind.

All wisdom, therefore, 

Is summed up in knowledge of me. 

To gain this is the aim of all research, 

Of all works, of all devotion. 

From knowledge of me cometh the lesser knowledge 

Of the things which I have brought forth.

Of no avail is this lesser knowledge 

Unless it be founded upon the knowledge 

Of my superior and inferior natures.

Hence it is written: 

“Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, 

And thy days shall be long.” 

To keep me in vivid remembrance is to unite thyself 

To the subtle principle of Life Eternal.

Mine inferior nature is the bond of union 

Between myself and all created beings. 

Hence it is likened to GIMEL, the camel,

Which bringeth a man safe 

Through desert wastes from city to city. 

Again it is likened to GIMEL 

Because the camel beareth rich and costly merchandise. 

And again, for that the camel betokeneth

Travel and communication, 

Being thus a symbol of change, 

And of the flux and mingling of ideas 

Borne upon the stream of memory.

Happy is he who bestrideth 

This camel of mine inferior nature 

Which bringeth them who learn the secret of its mastery

Unto me, their Lord. 

A task most difficult and laborious 

Is the conquest of the power of recollection. 

Strength and courage and patience must they have

Who would gain this victory; 

But these shall be as kings and princes in this world, 

And even as gods in the world to come.

~ Paul Foster Case The Book of Tokens Meditation on Gimel

The Secret of all Spiritual Activities

"My secret wisdom is hid in number, 

And in the sign of the Tally

Is concealed the building of the whole creation.

Number veileth the power of the Elohim, 

For number is that thick darkness whereof it is written,

"And Moses drew near unto the thick darkness 

Where God was"; and again,

"Tetragrammaton said that he would dwell In the thick darkness."

Ye shall know that this darkness is Egypt, 

And by the wisdom hidden in that darkness 

Did Moses lead Israel forth.

In the darkness which is Egypt

Is the darkness of number, 

Concealing the One in the cloud of the Many. 

Of that darkness the Serpent is a sign, 

That Great Serpent, the royal snake of Egypt.

This is the Serpent of temptation, Yet from it cometh forth redemption.

For the Serpent is the first appearance of the Anointed One,

And that which casteth Adam out from the garden of the East,

Even that shall bring him back once more to Paradise.

Thus in TETH is shown the secret

Of the going forth and the return, 

For TETH is the serpent coiled around the Tau.

This is the sign of the Name of Names, 

Which none may utter.

Again, it is the symbol of the Tree of Divine Perfections, 

Encircled by the power of the letters 

Wherewith is formed the whole creation.

And because the Tally referreth to counting, 

And so to all the works of number,

By this letter do I show— 

First, that all things are brought forth through number, 

And second, that all works of power accomplished by

the wise 

Have number for their foundation.

For the circle of the Tally 

Is the coiled fiery power

Which cometh from the sun, 

And to rule this, thou must learn to count.

Count aright, 

And thou shalt have oil for thy lamps, 

For the oil for lighting. 

Containeth the secret of the letter TETH. 

This is the oil which riseth like a serpent, 

The oil which thy father Jacob 

Poured upon the Stone in the House of Strength.

Verily, he who knoweth the secret of that Stone, 

Knoweth also the secret of the Serpent, 

And in him shall be fulfilled the saying:

"When Israel was a child, 

Then I loved him, 

And called my Son out of Egypt."

And he who knoweth this shall be a Measurer of Mercy, 

And all his works shall be rooted

In the strength of my Law."

~ Paul Foster Case in The Book of Tokens (Meditation on Teth)

Twilight Chapter 14 Audio Recording

Something new this evening. I've always been told I have a nice speaking voice, and so I decided to try my hand at recording an audiobook. I recently began rereading the Twilight series for the eighth consecutive time, and took the time to compile some heartwarming images of Edward and Bella to slide through whilst I read my one of my favorite chapters. I hope you all enjoy it. Cheers!
