So if you recall the damaged right eye. That went back to normal after a day or two. Then the left thumb at that time was accidentally sawed, also healed. Lack of protective gear and voluminous enthusiasm to the task of renovating my mom's home. Then yesterday I accidentally stabbed my right thumb with pruning sheers so now it's swollen and useless.

Have given away my brother's chess books, religious books and sold one of his university textbooks back to a campus, the latter was in the rain where I almost slipped and fell with a heavy box due to unsafe footwear.

Must remember to be safe. Also organized a memorial service for my brother with help from his buddy. There were quite a few people there, maybe 60 or 80 or so. Never counted.

Being temporarily incapacitated, and generally in rare free time, the hobby is to watch the crime channel which is extremely interesting. All these people that murder husbands, lovers, family members, etc, seems terribly transfixing.

There was also a history channel documentary on the American civil war and the Union assault on the Petersburg line in Virginia under Pratt or some such name. It was the Vermont fifth army battle.

In my car, whenever rolling these days it's mostly listening to Lao tzu's I Ching over and over again. He says in battle when many people, maybe thousands one guesses, are killed, it should be mourned like a funeral. He also says if you delight in victory (ie in battle) then you delight in killing and cannot be fulfilled. And other interesting words. He mentions that weapons are a wise man's last choice. Many interesting things says this Lao tzu, there's no honesty, honesty becomes dishonesty. Goodness becomes witchcraft. Man's bewitchment lasts a long time.

According to h. Spencer Lewis, he was a dark skinned fellow (albeit in China) and born from a virgin mother like annakin Skywalker in the star wars movies.

Speaking of annakin Skywalker, the story, apparently is he becomes Darth Vader. The notion of a Jedi born from a virgin mother, immaculately conceived, such as lao tzu, morphing into an evil warlock is a kind of profanation of Truth I suppose, although I imagine Lucas never intended that. I don't suppose he read Blavatsky's secret doctrine either. Regardless, this memory from early childhood, the way obi wan Kenobi sacrifices himself

My memory fails me as to the why. Although looking back, it's interesting seeing Luke Skywalker in the scene and knowing not only Darth Vader is his dad but was born immaculately, a son of God, like Lao tzu. It's kind of ludicrous.

I remember my film school buddy was actually working on episodes two and three that were filming in Sydney in those days 1998/99 and him explaining Lucas' trajectory with the series new and old. Sometimes Lucas would be around visible in my buddy's work area he said.

Anyway, this scene with Vader and obi wan, really, you'd think obi wan had dematerialized his physical body and not been killed at all. I'm sure dematerialization like this is possible and there's numerous anecdotal evidence now of aliens doing suchlike during experiment/ abductions of humans.

Will need to research obi wan.

Wasn't hard to find the answers:

If only people were as passionate about Blavatsky, h. Spencer Lewis and lao tzu. People just like movies is the takeaway.
