There's only one heart in this body.  Have mercy on me.  ("Connor" in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby)

 

UPDATE, September 10, 2025...

One year ago (😊)...


Then (☹️)...

I knew what you were up to and we had fun.

I knew what your purpose was for being in Midland and knew you would be leaving soon.

I knew you wanted to keep things private and did my best to honor that desire.

 

There was no betrayal.  You imagined that.

If you wanted to end things, you should have said so.

But you didn't.

Cutting off all communications (for a year) was very hurtful.  It was cruel.  Friends don't do that.  They talk things out.  Needing space and giving space is normal and fine.

"Ghosting" is unhealthy for all concerned.  It is a horrible and destructive behavior that has become far, far too common in our culture.  It is unacceptable.

 

I would like to be friends.  Friends talk.  Friends get to know each other.  Friends care about each other and do things to build up their relationship.

You know how to get in touch with me and where to find me.

I dearly hope to hear from you soon.

😊

I believe this was your goal and why you ran away:

The Root Cause of Unhappiness According to the Bhagavad Gita: How Desire Traps the Mind

Desiring me was diametrically opposed to your mission and you realized you had "sinned" by entertaining those desires.  You had to get back on "the higher path."

I am not going to judge you.  If you find happiness by meditating and seeking The Divine, that is your choice.  I do not believe it will ultimately work, but you need to explore those things for yourself.

My mind is not trapped by my desire for you.  Our mutual friend in the coffee shop says you have been very good for me.  I am not angry, far from it.  Through you I have become more enlightened and have learned a lot.

 

I would like to continue our friendship and talk about these things, like we did.  I know more about it now and can more intelligently consider your perspectives.  I think we are more aligned in our thinking than you may realize.

Please text me.  I still have your ringtones on my phone and hearing your text notification sound would absolutely thrill and delight me. 😊

 

... And I still mean and stand by what I said.

 

UPDATE, September 13, 2025...

I recently acquired a new hat from a budding entrepreneur in the mall where the coffee shop is located.  Uncharacteristically, I took a "selfie" photo wearing the hat and posted the photo as my profile picture on Facebook.  That resulted in 20 "likes" and one "heart" (21 total), so friends and relatives seemed to enjoy it.

This morning I realized that hat is a "social mask," which explains why I have not been comfortable wearing it.

It isn't me.

It is a prevarication.

What a lesson!  As Carl Jung said...

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

The hat will probably end up in the closet and only be used on rare occasions.

Supporting the business of my entrepreneur friend was a delight, however.

“Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”  (John 4:48 NIV)

(Link:  Gum)

God gives us remembrances.  Some are physical and some are just memories.  He wants us to believe what He has done.

God wrestled with Jacob, and did something to his hip to make him limp.  That limp would remind Jacob, whom God renamed "Israel," that the event really happened.

When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River on dry ground, God had them take up twelve stones from the middle of the dry river and put them where they camped that night, to serve as a sign and reminder of what God did to stop the water flowing in the river.

When Jesus fed 5000 men by multiplying five loaves and two fish, he had all twelve of his guys pick up leftover pieces, and they each filled a basket.  He gave them all that memory.

When Jesus repeated the miracle, he fed 4000 men with seven loaves and a few small fish, and He had them pick up the leftovers.  They filled seven baskets.  Do you suppose seven of them did not believe the first miracle so they got a second opportunity with the seven baskets?

Why The Michigan Assembly may be "the most targeted Assembly in America" (Article #4777)...

Friends, I think you have a massive gold hoard scuttled away by Navy Officers, hidden somewhere in Michigan. I would be willing to bet money on it. And they are still guarding it, for their British Territorial U.S. Government and King Charlie.

...

They don't want us to be in Session in Michigan when the music stops, because our State Assembly there would claim it back for America, not Britain. They couldn't claim it was abandoned property.

...

If I am right, there's around 8 Billion with a "B" Metric tons of gold in Michigan and they can't get it out of there without some kind of narrative and they can't claim it without some excuse. I think they planned to quietly place a claim on abandonment on it, using their song and dance that we are "missing" and our government is "in interregnum" but they can't do that with a State Assembly in Session.

So the next best thing they could do was exactly what they have tried to do three times in a row --- establish a tight knit and highly controlling group of former military and agency operatives in control of The Michigan Assembly, so they could just play dumb, make sure that you never raise your hands, and declare a recess or an emergency to shut the Assembly down --- then just cart everything back down the St. Lawrence, probably to Canada, the British Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, then "home" to London.

...

So, for the record, if I am right, tomography and Lidar has already revealed the existence of a huge gold stash in Michigan, probably close to the Canadian Border... [emphasis added]

So, how much is "8 Billion with a 'B' metric tons of gold?"

That's 8,000,000,000 tonnes.

8,000,000,000,000 kilograms.

17,636,800,000,000 pounds.

The specific gravity of gold is 19.32.  Water is 1.00.

That calculates to 414,078,675 cubic meters or 541,594,459 cubic yards.  (Somebody please check my arithmetic.)

That is a cube with sides of 2445 feet.

Compared to Michigan Stadium ("The Big House") in Ann Arbor

Where did this gold probably come from?
