The eighteenth day of Abib in the 2729th year of our dispersion.

It is starting to surprise me how little we know about the world. Everything about our lives is compartmentalized. We quickly become familiar with a routine and then no longer think about it. We trust in things we should not be trusting in. It's true that יהוה's children are sheep; we follow blindly. But sheep hear the voice of their Master. Sheep who believe and follow lies have gone astray and need to have their legs broken and be carried.

How many of us have walked long distances, through the land, and watched יהוה's creation in action? Who do we rely on to give us information about what is happening out there? How much do we really see as we are driving on our highways? Who is really paying attention? A hundred fifty years ago, the land I am currently living on was heavily wooded and densely populated with animals - a perfect, resource-full environment. But huge tracts of land were deforested and the trees were burned to provide room for communities. Perhaps we should have learned to work with nature a little better. Ecosystems were fine-tuned by their Designer. They're very adaptive and can take a lot of abuse but eventually they will collapse. And at some point the wild beasts will turn on us. It's already been prophesied.

How often do we consider concepts that we have been taught to reject outright? We tend to live in established paradigms which have trouble letting us see outside their traditional boundaries. Even if we are full of doubt and looking for new concepts, we have not been taught how to think critically or how to properly consider new things - or even how to put these ideas into words. People talk about Orwell's Newspeak as if it were a fantasy, but I'm convinced it becoming a reality. Whether an extension of Babel's curse or the result of a concerted attempt to reduce American vocabulary, I believe the average modern citizen is far less capable of describing the most important truths in his regular tongue than the citizen of two hundred years ago. The meaning has been sapped out of important words.

The Internet is a paradigm all its own. It is the huge sandbox that all the world's children can play in. It is the Matrix. Places like this are allowed because they are buried by all the garbage. You will find diamonds in this rough, but the most important things are hidden. יהוה has hidden them. Why? Because otherwise, everyone would believe and repent...
