The Image Behind The Mask





What is the true image behind the mask?  Who's persona is behind the mask?  Do the Antichrist wear a mask?  False faces ... misdirection or is it?  Who wear the mask?  Do you wear a mask?  Who is who?  Who are you today and who were you yesterday?  Who will you be after today?  Are they one of the same?  What kind of mask would hypocrisy, unjustice, sin, liar, ...backstabber, hate, cheater, would wear?  Do rightiousness, kindness, love, justice...wear a mask?  How close is the image of the mask to the true image of the one who is wearing the mask? 

Now what kind of mask(s) would the works of the flesh wear and the fruit of the Spirit if, it would have to wear a mask…, reference to resource cited therein the Holy Scripture from the book of Galatians Chapter 5,
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Gregarious Environment: The Rainbow and Promise...





I had got caught in the rain yesterday 6/28/12… I was soak in wet just less than one block away from home… it stopped raining and the sun was shining and there was this large rainbow arc over I-94 north and south bounded just behind my home… I thought it was so awesome and cool to see… I had shared that moment with a neighbor and the neighbor took a picture of it …a true Kodak moment…   

P.S. Refer to enclosure links to The Noahic Covenant, the Book of Genesis Chapter 9; 9:11-17  followed by God’s (God Iam Providence) Commandments, the Book of Exodus Chapter 20.

One's Own Heart

Gregarious Environment 
By Kermit Williams,  4/28/2011, Innovation at Work









ONE'S OWN HEART

IT IS SCRIPTURAL TO KEEP YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE.   FOR OUT OF THE ABUNANCE OF THE  HEART THE MOUTH SPEAK.  FOR BY YOUR WORDS YOU SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY YOUR WORDS YOU SHALL BE CONDEMNED. THERE IS A SAYING, ABOUT A PERSON MAKING THE STATEMENT RELATING TO HAVING A HEAVY HEART.  SO, THE QUESTION MIGHT BE COULD THIS BE AN EFFECT, RESULTING FROM THAT TRUE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THINKING.  ON THE OTHER ISSUES OF LIFE WE ARE TO OBSERVE AS WELL, DIFFERENTIATE GOOD FROM EVIL (RIGHT FROM WRONG) AS IT IMPLICATE TO A GOOD PERSON OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART BRING FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL PERSON OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRING FORTH EVIL THINGS.  THE SECRETS OF THE HEART ARE KNOWN   TO GOD.  FOR GOD WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, HAD SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST.

RESOURCE REFFERENCE: READ THESE BOOKS, PROVERB CHAP. 4:23, MATTHEW CHAP. 12:34, 37 AND 35, DIVISION OF PSALMS 44:21, 1 CHRONICLES CHAP. 28:9 AND 2 CORINTHIANS CHAP.4:6-7.

Homage to the (Heavenly) Father and Dads



Romans 8:38-39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. (NLT)

Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. (NIV)

Honoring Our Dads
For many of us, our fathers are our heroes. We appreciate them for their love and guidance. A good father can set an example of strength, honor, sacrifice, and responsibility. On Father's Day, we honor dads for their love and the lessons they have taught us.

Read quotes celebrating dads on Father’s Day.

Inertia: Dynamics, Statics and Continuum


Inertia Experiments



Inertia Experiments thumbnail
The Principal of Inertia is reflected in Newton's first law of motion.
The Principle of Inertia states that every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it. This law is evident throughout the observable world, from the smallest of pebbles to the most massive stars, and you can demonstrate it in a variety of ways.


  1. Solids and Liquids

    •  
      A hard boiled egg changes states from rest to motion more easily than a raw one.

      Take two eggs, roughly the same size, and hard boil one of them. You have changed the properties of one egg by changing its interior mass from a liquid to a solid state. Now spin both eggs with roughly equal amounts of force. The boiled egg starts spinning more easily than the raw egg. While the eggs are spinning, quickly stop the boiled egg and remove your hand. The boiled egg will remain at rest. Do the same with the raw egg and it will resume spinning at a slower rate once you let go. The liquid within the raw egg remains in motion due to inertia near the egg's two ends, and the solid matter within the boiled egg does not.

    Resistance to Horizontal Motion

    A Body in Motion

    • Just as a body at rest tends to remain so, a body in motion stays in motion without the interference of an outside force. You can illustrate this property of objects by trying to drop a tennis ball straight down while you run horizontally. As you pass a marked target on the ground, let the ball go directly over the target. Because your running with the ball places it in a state of motion relative to the ground, it remains in that state after you let it go. So, although you release the ball directly over the target, its path is determined both by gravity and its current state of motion, and it continues to move forward. Thus, it misses the target.

    Inertia and Weight

    • Hang a heavy weight from a thread and attach another thread below it, so that one thread supports the weight and the other hangs freely. Begin pulling on the free-hanging thread until one of the two threads breaks, and observe the results. If you pull slowly, you increase the force on the top thread by adding the force of your pull to the force of gravity acting on the weight, and the top thread will break. When you pull quickly, you pull against the weight's inertia and its tendency to remain in motion works against you, breaking the bottom thread instead.

Leaning On History To Learn From History



How can history assist us in learning from repeated negative inactions and actions in life, human behavior as well, politics/government(s)?  Even from the story 'Animal Farm'…how their revolution only benefited a selected few and the ironing of that is how that selected few became more and more like their foe in the revolution…the selected few behavior always seem to have ironings that were/are hypocritical.  You know the beauty of the 'Constitution of the United States' is that it protects the interest(s) as well, human rights of the individual from harm by the people.  This adds a new perspective to the meaning of inaction(s) and action(s) on the basis of the majority in general and by (political) party affiliation.  How this concept can be viewed globally too.  The next question might be what have we learned from history?

Are You Conformed Or Transformed?

Are You Conformed Or Transformed?
Do you see the allegory message(s) from within the story that is entitled ’Animal Farm’?  How concepts and behavior truly manifest(ed) therein modern governments of time past to present.   One can’t help but, to ask the question is this pattern constant of human behavior?   Why?   This resolution came by way of an epiphany via the revelation of God’s word. The resolution is briefed via the books of Romans Chapter 12 and 2 Peter Chapter 1.

Animal Farm Animal Farm First edition cover Author(s) George Orwell Original title Animal Farm: A Fairy Story Country United Kingdom Language English Genre(s) Classics, satire, educational animation Publisher Secker and Warburg (London) Publication date 17 August 1945 Media type Print (hardback & paperback) Pages 112 pp (UK paperback edition) ISBN ISBN 0-452-28424-4 (present) ISBN 978-0-452-28424-1 OCLC Number 53163540 Dewey Decimal 823/.912 20 LC Classification PR6029.R8 A63 2003b Preceded by The Lion And The Unicorn Followed by Nineteen Eighty-Four

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to and during the Stalin era before World War II. Orwell, a democratic socialist,[1] was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, especially after his experiences with the NKVD, and what he saw of the results of the influence of Communist policy ("ceaseless arrests, censored newspapers, prowling hordes of armed police" – "Communism is now a counter-revolutionary force"),[2] during the Spanish Civil War.  In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as his novel "contre Stalin".[3]

The original title was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story, but the subtitle was dropped by the US publishers for its 1946 publication and subsequently all but one of the translations during Orwell's lifetime omitted the addition. Other variations in the title include: A Satire and A Contemporary Satire.[3] Orwell suggested for the French translation the title Union des républiques socialistes animales, recalling the French name of the Soviet Union, Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques, and which abbreviates URSA, which is the Latin for "bear", a symbol of Russia.[3] 

Time magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005);[4] it also places at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels.  It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996 and is also included in the Great Books of the Western World.

The novel addresses not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also how wickedness, indifference, ignorance, greed and myopia corrupt the revolution. While this novel portrays corrupt leadership as the flaw in revolution (and not the act of revolution itself), it also shows how potential ignorance and indifference to problems within a revolution could allow horrors to happen if a smooth transition to a people's government is not achieved.

Plot summary

Old Major, the old boar on the Manor Farm, calls the animals on the farm for a meeting, where he compares the humans to parasites and teaches the animals a revolutionary song, 'Beasts of England'. When Major dies three days later, two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, assume command and turn his dream into a philosophy. The animals revolt and drive the drunken and irresponsible Mr Jones from the farm, renaming it "Animal Farm".

The Seven Commandments of Animalism are written on the wall of a barn. The most important is the seventh, "All animals are equal". All the animals work, but the workhorse, Boxer, does more than others and adopts the maxim: "I will work harder". Snowball attempts to teach the animals reading and writing; food is plentiful, and the farm runs smoothly. The pigs elevate themselves to positions of leadership and set aside special food items, ostensibly for their personal health. Napoleon takes the pups from the farm dogs and trains them privately. When Mr Jones tries to retake the farm, the animals defeat him at what they call the "Battle of the Cowshed". Napoleon and Snowball struggle for leadership. When Snowball announces his idea for a windmill, Napoleon opposes it. Snowball makes a speech in favour of the windmill, at which point Napoleon has his dogs chase Snowball away. In Snowball's absence, Napoleon declares himself leader and makes changes. Meetings will no longer be held; instead, a committee of pigs will run the farm. Using a young pig named Squealer as a "mouthpiece", Napoleon announces that Snowball stole the idea for the windmill from him. The animals work harder with the promise of easier lives with the windmill. After a violent storm, the animals find the windmill annihilated. Napoleon and Squealer convince the animals that Snowball destroyed the windmill, although the scorn of the neighbouring farmers suggests that the windmill's walls were too thin. Once Snowball becomes a scapegoat, Napoleon begins purging the farm, killing animals he accuses of consorting with Snowball. Meanwhile, Boxer takes up a second maxim: "Napoleon is always right".

Napoleon abuses his powers, making life harder for the animals; the pigs impose more control while reserving privileges for themselves. The pigs rewrite history, villainising Snowball and glorifying Napoleon. Squealer justifies every statement Napoleon makes, even the pigs' alteration of the Seven Commandments of Animalism. "No animal shall sleep in beds" is changed to "No animal shall sleep in beds with sheets" when the pigs are discovered to have been sleeping in the old farmhouse. "No animal shall drink alcohol" is changed to "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess" when the pigs discover the farmer's whisky. 'Beasts of England' is banned as inappropriate, as according to Napoleon the dream of Animal Farm has been realised. It is replaced by an anthem glorifying Napoleon, who appears to be adopting the lifestyle of a man. The animals, though cold, starving and overworked, remain convinced that they are better off than they were when under Mr Jones. Squealer abuses the animals' poor memories and invents numbers to show their improvement. Mr Frederick, one of the neighbouring farmers, swindles Napoleon by buying old wood with forged money, and then attacks the farm, using blasting powder to blow up the restored windmill. Though the animals win the battle, they do so at great cost, as many, including Boxer, are wounded. Despite his injuries, Boxer continues working harder and harder, until he collapses while working on the windmill. Napoleon sends for a van to take Boxer to the veterinary surgeon's, explaining that better care can be given there. Benjamin the donkey, who "could read as well as any pig",[5] notices that the van belongs to "Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler", and attempts to mount a rescue; but the animals' attempts are futile. Squealer reports that the van was purchased by the hospital and the writing from the previous owner had not been repainted. He recounts a tale of Boxer's death in the hands of the best medical care. Shortly after Boxer's death, it is revealed that the pigs have purchased more whiskey.

Years pass, and the pigs learn to walk upright, carry whips and wear clothes. The Seven Commandments are reduced to a single phrase: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". Napoleon holds a dinner party for the pigs and the humans of the area, who congratulate Napoleon on having the hardest-working animals in the country on the least feed. Napoleon announces an alliance with the humans, against the labouring classes of both "worlds". He abolishes practices and traditions related to the Revolution, and changes the name of the farm to "The Manor Farm".

The animals, overhearing the conversation, notice that the faces of the pigs have begun changing. During a poker match, an argument breaks out between Napoleon and Mr Pilkington when they both play the Ace of Spades, and the animals realise that the faces of the pigs look like the faces of humans and no one can tell the difference between them.
