That was the time I was humbled but not humiliated. For me anyhow when there was only phone support to solve my forever computer problems were needed. The techs for the most from India, most patient and quite knowledgeable. This specific time, the blessed tech asked me to read to him the apps I had installed in the Programs feature, I started with the ‘a’ for apple until I got to the ‘n’ ‘e’ ‘s’ …=”nescafe” I pronounced. “I never hear of that app” says the blessed tech, spell it for me again” I said, ‘n’ for no, ‘e for eye’ ‘s for sam’ ‘c’ for cat ‘p’ for Peter ‘e’ for eye= NETSCAPE! Exclaimed the tech with a chuckle.
I used to thank them for their patience but they inevitable would respond, “no it is us to thank you, you are teaching us a lot!”

Your Site Is Ancient …?
What? I just perfected my use of boxes, how dare you call my site ‘ancient’?! “Why don’t you download Joomla?” “What on earth is that?” I exclaimed quite peeved with the young punk. “Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. Download it, you will see.” He told me. Mercy me!
CMS stands for open-source content management system, something I had never heard of, bless my heart! Talking about ‘ancient’ to say the least. O well! I downloaded Joomla but I could not make it out, but? Somehow I had discover Wilks Community College offering free continuing education for seniors, of course I enrolled. Needless to say, I discovered the famous WordPress.com and? I have been hooked since.
Regardless, for the life of me I can’t remember how I got into the Internet even before I enrolled in Wilks. I do remember creating websites with Frontpage.com. also, I remember how the techs practically did my menu bar. Only thing I made the mistake of checking the ‘update automatically’ thus I have not been able to find out when I created those so unique sites about my autobiography but, I can still pull and enjoy my humble beginning building websites.
This link only works for me, but I am diligently working on making those writings available to others. Will see.
Embracing Discernment Without Condemning Others …
Perhaps that is what now is called ‘unconditional love’. Perhaps. Still, no need to argue. No need to prove myself as well as others right or wrong. No need to defend the Almighty Creator of everything in existence.
And the biggest? No need to be incensed with anger however justified such anger could be. Only need for me is to let go. Fear not! I am not alone; I am not abandoned. I never have been. I never shall be!
How blessed I am despite my fat ankles, my faulty hearing, my expensive loose dentures & equally expensive eyeglasses that don’t stay in place, plus looking at my hanging belly in the mirror as I disrobe to ready myself to the shower; and running to the toilet like in a marathon. Let alone my inability to follow instructions to take care of my concept of creating artistic beauty. And the infernal itch? And my painful back? And the lurking fears attempting to defeat me? O well! bless my heart.
I will just go on reminiscing about my tall tales that tell on me! Humor instead of anger is the motto to come out smelling like a rose to my own self. And the privilege to sing to my heart’s desire without disturbing the delicate human ears? Hahaha! HalleluYah! Whatever more could I want for? Lov, mom.
Diana says:
Yesterday, we ate out for our 44th wedding anniversary. The young waitress asked what our secret is. After thinking for a moment, I said, “Work”. She replied, “And love.”
Nope. It’s work. Daily working on yourself, your relationship, your goals, etc. Most anyone can love another to start with. The effort that it takes to keep that person as a life partner is the “secret”.
Right on the money I should say if it was indispensably to have my say.
O Well! Guess There Is No Cure For My Going On And On …
I guess as well is best for me to quit this unending drive to be what I am not supposed to be. Can you imagine that? I quit! Chilled out!
Miracles Are Not Subject To The Rationalizing Shackles …
Why not just acknowledge, enjoy, deploy the weapons to destroy the stagnation of my life’s saga in any station? Fear not!
I’m alive!
Free from the stagnant waters in the shackles of rationalizing in the fear of mankind.
What’s ahead?
Only the Master knows, but I am living free from stagnation with much progression towards eternity.
What Is Eternity? …
That’s the thing I am about to find out. It’s now Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 1:03 am. The last day of the 8th month of 2023. Time to know the unknown things of eternal value. The necessary division to enter to remain in my eternity.
Eternity: ethereal or impossible for the human mind to grasp.
What time is it now?
Time as we know time to be but soon to be no more: 6:27 am on Thursday, August 31, 2023.
Otherwise?
The last day of the 8th month.
Tomorrow?
Anew, afresh the 9th month shall be upon us all. And what shall it be on that 9th month we are tomorrow see? No man knows for sure. The numerous theories, timelines, doom sayers shall continue with desperation now on the time of inevitable separation of the tares and the wheat as it has been written for once in Matthew 13:24-30.
Quote:
Matthew 13:24-30
(24) Another parable He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
(25) But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way.
(26) So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also.
(27) And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it?
(28) He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out?
(29) But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it.
(30) Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.
Why The Parables …?
Nothing is left amidst for us to remain ignorant of the truth to set us free. Read on—you will find that truth.
Quote:
Matthew 13:10-17
(10) Then the disciples came to Him and said, Why do You speak to them in parables?
(11) And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
(12) For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
(13) This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because having the power of seeing, they do not see; and having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand.
(14) In them indeed is the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.
(15) For this nation’s heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them. [Isa_6:9-10]
(16) But blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.
(17) Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men [men who were upright and in right standing with God] yearned to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
It turned into a steppingstone. Isn’t’ that amazing! Miracles are still in vogue, that’s a fact. I commented in one of my likes in an old post.
Quote:
2021? It’s now 8/26/2023. I find myself wondering why my visitors in the past no longer visit me. So? I began to check. I clicked! Wow! Why I did not interact with my visitors before? What a poem! What a soul! FEAR! But guess what? All in due time. Today? My time fearless I march nonetheless. Free to face the past with no regrets. Let go! Let that fearful past be the stone to step on to go higher and higher on the steps to that Heavenly Kingdom on earth not in heaven–on the way to the New Jerusalem … How soon? Who knows? It could be tomorrow or? Who Knows? By faith shall the just shall live still stands. Glad I clicked! lov, thiaBasilia. End of quote

And Then There Is Kally …?
My precious one, my Kally far away on a land totally out of my fertile imagination. Now precious Kally, go ahead and laugh at me and with me. Of course, I am drawn with super admiration of your endeavor to help others. But then? I come to the end of my reading. Wow! Thousands of likes and comments. What? Dear Kally, you tell me, “Your new website looks amazing! Looking forward to reading and inspiring more posts from you.” But Kally, you get thousands of likes & comments but me? Maybe one like never one single comment. What’s wrong with my site? Can you imagine that? Am I jealous? Nay, nay! It’s not jealousy at all! It’s enlightening!
No Need To Condemn Myself. No Room For Jealousy. …?
But there is ample opportunity to display the fear of the Master to promote the Wisdom from above I proclaim to possess. No kidding, Kally, the reverent fear and worship of the Master is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline. (Psalms 111:10– Proverbs 1:7.)
Worldly Wisdom Is Bias …?
I make this statement without prejudice, merely as a product of my experience of worldly wisdom to deem me to act unwise when in fact, that was not the case. Most of my life I spent under the influence of worldly wisdom, but rather than wisdom I saw such wisdom as the fear of men.
The Fear Of Man? The Cause, the Effect Of All Evil Down On Us …?
Rules & regulations to contain the masses but not the privileged elite. Instead? The fear of the Master Creator of everything in existence including us human beings is the beginning of the higher Wisdom from above to cause, to affect all good descending upon us in due time, the perfect time unbeknown to us.
But Guess What? All Unbeknown Is Now Coming To Be Known …?
That’s the fact. I for one can speak as per the horse’s mouth. Indeed! Day by day. Moment by moment all my ‘unbeknownst’ are disappearing at the sound of the voice of the blessed gifted souls liken to Kally Tay’s to encourage rather than discourage.
What A Marvel! How Blessed We All Are …?
Blessed??? Am I nuts? How can I call blessed this infernal belly ache & itching driving me insane? Aha! Aha! But I rejoice in my infirmities counting them as nothing comparing with the soon revelation of my station in the glorious Kingdom soon to be established on the renewed earthly grounds. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10.)
No kidding, there is hope, there is always hope.
But if we see what we are hoping for then hope is no longer hope.
Selah! Calmly think about that.
One More Thing About Rules & Regulations …?
Today is supposed to be a day of fasting according to the rules & regulations of ancient times. Well? Thank goodness! I am free from such bondage! For a bondage it was bounded by the fear of man! But as I got the warning in the inbox yesterday, I found myself? Well, almost caught in the snare, but! That blessed inner voice reminding me to check Isaiah 58:4-14.
Quote:
Isaiah 58:4-14
(4) [The facts are that] you fast only for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness. Fasting as you do today will not cause your voice to be heard on high.
(5) Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
(6) [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke? [Act_8:23]
(7) Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house–when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
(8) Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. [Exo_14:19-20; Isa_52:12]
(9) Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking, [Exo_3:14]
(10) And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
(11) And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. End of quote.
(12) And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
(13) If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words,
(14) Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. [Gen_27:28-29; Gen_28:13-15]. End of quote.
That’s now the way I live. And for the rules on how to keep the Sabbath? I hear:
Quote:
Hebrews 3:7-19
(7) Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,
(8) Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness,
(9) Where your fathers tried [My patience] and tested [My forbearance] and found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years.
(10) And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them.
(11) Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest. [Psa_95:7-11]
(12) [Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.
(13) But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamor of his sin may play on him].
(14) For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end.
(15) Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them]. [Psa_95:7-8]
(16) For who were they who heard and yet were rebellious and provoked [Him]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
(17) And with whom was He irritated and provoked and grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dismembered bodies were strewn and left in the desert?
(18) And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [who had not listened to His word and who refused to be compliant or be persuaded]?
(19) So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest], because of their unwillingness to adhere to and trust in and rely on God [unbelief had shut them out]. [Num_14:1-35]. End of quote.
The Best Part About The Situation …?
I discovered today that my Diana is not convinced that I am not at all the religious person that I used to be. What a discovery! The best part about it is that I did not explain much nor defend myself. Just joy and relief that I am no longer obligated to fit in in the world’s square.
No, I Am Not Unruly Doing My Own Thing …?
But it is a joy inexplicable and full of esteem to be submitted to that inner voice from the Master Creator of my being leading me in the way that I should go living in the future under His power and authority, in a perfect governmental foundation. And that is the completeness of my being. Complete: I want for nothing. (Well? Maybe a broil organic chicken or some fruit or one thing or the other for the simple reason that so that I am living in the ethereal world, let me face it, I am still a human being. Bless my heart!)
At my ripe age I have learned to take all coming to me with a little grain of salt to enjoy the taste of whatever. I often wonder about the posts that go viral, why? It just bothered me enough to struggle to gain likes and comments big time as viral posts did. Pitiful! But that was me in the trenches of radical change about life’s existence on this earth aground. No kidding! Radical that change it was! Do I regret that troublesome past?
I Was Born Trapped! …
From the last post: Indeed! We human beings are born trapped in the huge cage of our natural birth. Now, now, I am not stating this matter as if it is a fact deducted from my high intellect. The truth of the matter is that such a fact has been brought to light from the beginning of our creation but! For myself? Automatically, I rebelled against such a fact.
No Regrets Instead?
Freedom to really love. Perennial joy burst from my heart. I know by experience what it means to be loved by my loving Creator, to love myself and my neighbor. Therefore, I have His love within my being to love. Love—the love of my Creator for sure.
I Can Proceed To Prove Myself …
But what’s the use? Isn’t that what I have been doing in the past? Action not passive knowledge trying to justify my doings is what matters. Therefore? From now on my resolve is to relate my present experiences free of biases of any kind whenever is appropriate to so.
Looking Forward …
Forward to the next moment whatever that moment brings to me. (Hopefully it won’t be the fire alarm announcing my burnt intended chicken broth. My dear Diana always tells me to remain next to the cooking but, I forget! It’s now 2:32 pm. Well? I just checked it, it got long to go, maybe another hour but I’ll keep checking it. Maybe, just maybe I’ll get me a couple of cups of good old chicken bone broth, won’t that be nice? Bless my heart.)
Encouraging me to start my day free of vile. Some are quite troublesome. Some are gruesome. Anyhow? Most of the time, whichever way the things I think about while I’m washing dishes or walking or eating or socializing do not fit with the world at large. So I pray, not regular repetitious prayers, what I mean is that I talk to the Almighty Creator of our beings no matter what I am thinking or whatever the circumstances may be as per Matthew 6:5-8 & 1 Thessalonians 5:17-25.
I Do Whatever Like Everybody Else Do …
In other words, I socialize. But for the life of me I can’t help but see the futility of it all. Of course, the things I have been recording, the things I talk about are preposterous, yet? I am aware that such is only an appearance of human thinking. Even so? I was troubled about the matter not knowing what to do about it.
Funny thing, upon reflection on the matter?
A message popped in the inbox.
“The way you speak to yourself matters. Smile. Sparkle. Shine. It is not about who you impress. It is about who you impact. What is meant for you will make its way to you. Be YOURSELF.
How Neat! Exactly What I Have Been Knowing For A Long Time …
Yes, I know who I am. I know what to do. I know how to do it. The beauty of it all? I haven’t got the slightest how I know it all!
Bed: Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 7:14 pm.
Up: Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 10:15 pm.
Date & time now: Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 12:34 am.
That’s The Problem! Bless My Heart …
Because I haven’t got the slightest how I know it all, I despair. Fear & doubt knocks at my door. I become despondent. I lose my cool. The tears flow. Smile, Sparkle, Shine? Gone!
What’s wrong with you?
Take a deep breath!
Drink water!
Eat!
Take the pill!
You got to change your ways!
Poor Soul That I’m …
But only at times. Times when I guess I ‘been deceived. I got to be normal like everybody else!. I cringe! Down, down under the brown ground I almost plunge, suddenly! Like magic, up, up I go! Like the eagles mounting up closer to that One Wo loves so. Smile, Sparkle, Shine again like never before.
And That’s What The World Calls ‘Bipolar’ …
No problem anymore. I am proud to be able to appreciate the North/South poles. Better yet, as I posted a long time ago,
Quote:
We, ‘Bipolars’ are the envy of the town. Whether up or down? We can keep the audience in derision. Gloom or glee? We can operate in both poles—North or South. Why not?
Positive and Negative? The two extremes captivating the human attention and retention. Bipolar! The doctor concludes. The Big Pharma? “I think I need a bigger box!” with glee explodes, and?
The wacky journey on this valley of death that we call ‘life’ begins in all earnest. The Bipolar, schiz, manic depressive amidst? O well! I top the list.
POSITIVE versus NEGATIVE Connect the two and you will find the battery that runs this machine of the world that we inhabit!
What about me? Me? I am BIPOLAR! I run in either pole! Rather I can make people run away from or to me in either pole! Ha! Ha! HalleluYah!
Humor instead of anger is my own conclusion not at all an illusion! Done fix myself a logo with my ‘brand’ new motto. Isn’t beautiful?
Soon, very soon, sooner than our human minds complicated state? Sooner than our fancy imaginations can fancy? The Loving Father Creator of our beings will shout and sing, “Death, where is your sting?” End of quote.
No Kidding! Freedom Is Not Just A Feeling …
Nor is it knowledge. It is not what we say it is from our engaging memories. The truth? It is useless to define the etherealness of freedom, love, and many other words I used to so flippantly defined. Mea culpa. But the experience of such words? Dumbfounded! But delighted!
Meantime and until the next post? Lov to all, thia.
Especially About The Nature Of My Behavior And Beliefs? …
Yes, It Is Time For A Philosophical Appraisal Of Myself …
Where am I at in such appraisal? At the end. The final conclusion. The beginning of a newness not previously experienced or encountered; novel or unfamiliar but quite peaceful, restive, promising even productive for the rest of my life as I deal with the arrogance of the human nature ingrained within my being.
Indeed! My Human Nature? Not A Pretty Picture More Like A Cartoon …
Finally! I posted on Sunday, May 21, 2023, around 3:42 pm. I am now ready for a break to reflect in the Presence of my Master about my reply to Pat when I woke up on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 10:15 pm.
I was so angry! I considered Pat’s ignorance, her arrogance only to reflect the rest of arrogant self-righteous fools that crucified Yahushua so many years ago.
I thought to understand Yahushua’s utter frustration.
I remembered His words to forgive them for they did not know what they were doing.
I felt so proud of my knowledge.
What?
I do not need to retaliate; the Master does not need my defense?
I see.
I am just as guilty as Pat is.
Quote:
Matthew 26:51-53
(51) And behold, one of those who were with Yahushua reached out his hand and drew his sword and, striking the body servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
(52) Then Yahushua said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [Gen_9:6]
(53) Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions [more than 80,000] of angels?
ANGER:
Matthew 5:21-26
(21) You have heard that it was said to the men of old, You shall not kill, and whoever kills shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the court. [Exo_20:13; Deu_5:17; Deu_16:18]
(22) But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice (enmity of heart) against him shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the court; and whoever speaks contemptuously and insultingly to his brother shall be liable to and unable to escape the punishment imposed by the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, You cursed fool! [You empty-headed idiot!] shall be liable to and unable to escape the hell (Gehenna) of fire.
(23) So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you,
(24) Leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift.
(25) Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison.
(26) Truly I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last fraction of a penny. End of quote.
Well? I Weep. My Heart Constricts. What To Do? …
I cannot continue relishing my gifts while I let anger get a hold of me. Furthermore, my Master compels me to warn the wicked as well as the righteous of their sins under penalty for their blood to be required at my hand even when the Master warns me that they shall not listen.
Quote:
Ezekiel 3:20-27
(20) Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) and some gift or providence which I lay before him he perverts into an occasion to sin and he commits iniquity, he shall die; because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at your hand.
(21) Nevertheless, if you warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered yourself from guilt.
(22) And the hand of the Lord was there upon me, and He said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain and I will talk with you there.
(23) Then I arose and went forth into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.
(24) Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; He spoke and said to me, Go, shut yourself up in your house.
(25) But you, O son of man, behold, ropes will be put upon you and you will be bound with them, and you cannot go out among people.
(26) And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth so that you cannot talk and be a reprover of the people, for they are a rebellious house.
(27) But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to the people, Thus says the Lord God; he who hears, let him hear, and he who refuses to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
Matthew 5:23-25.
(23) So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you,
(24) Leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift.
(25) Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. End of quote.
Heading for bed again on Monday, May 22, 2023, at 12:10 am.
Much to reflect on Yahushua’s Presence within my heart.
Restful sleep for better than four hours.
It’s now Monday, May 22, 2023, at 6:36 am.
What am I to do?
How can I come to terms with the carnal self-ingrained in both Pat and me?
Publish The Matter The Only Way To Settle It …
Ha! I must come to terms with that accuser carnal self. Phew! Graciously saved by Yahushua’s faithfulness to His Word. What a blessing for us all. Hopefully this post shall attract someone to read the previous posts to soberly, unbiasedly reconsider the matter.
I am not ashamed of quoting the Bible because I am watching it coming to pass exactly as it is written. The following quotes clearly tells us what is to come at the end of the miserable times we have been experiencing up until now.
To Him Be The Honor Above All Honors …
Mother’s Day On 2nd 7th Day Of Rest Of The 5th Month Of 2023 …
First Mother’s Day back in the USA with an entirely new perspective about life in this so loved world. Sunday, May 14, 2023, at 4:30 am ready for Tallahassee Mother’s Day & Mike’s birthday celebration at Roxana’s house. Back on Monday, May 15, 2023, around 2 pm. Such a blessing!
Time To Post Again …
Three days since such memorable Mother Day’s celebration in my honor. Roses, tulips, healthy drinks, so much laughter, tears of joy, and the immensity of love to surpass the mountain of a troubled pass. Indeed! Time to post again. Where to begin?
Beginning From Previous Posts Excerpts …
…. The Unknown God
….Yesterday. Today
….Wednesday, March 22, 2023, that was yesterday.
….Spent the day with Mary Jo at the crafts’ fellowship.
….Today: Thursday, March 23, 2023, at 1:37 am, going back to bed, I have not idea of what’s to be for me up on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at 6:13 am.
….Why am I so apprehensive rather uneasy about life this morning?
….I am feeling the redundancy of it all.
…. More and more I am finding so ever shallow all activities present in or produced by nature.
…. It seems to me that we are frantically keeping ourselves busy to avoid the reality of who we are.
…. More and more I am realizing things have not changed from the grand & lesser society of mankind.
…. How Am I To Approach The Futility Of It All? …
The classics writings portray such reality. I know the purpose for sharing my testimony is to waking people to this reality but, not feeling well at all because I don’t know how to effectively approach the subject.
…. What Is Going On? …
My body is not responding in my favor. Woke up around 5 pm thinking it was 5 am, hungry, cooked what I thought to be breakfast, ate. Came to record the date on Friday, March 24, 2023, at 6:44 pm, that’s when I realized I was disoriented again!
I called Diana to make sure of the date & time.
I’m ok now on Friday, March 24, 2023, at 7:27 pm.
Back to my reading.
At 10:35 pm on Friday, March 24, 2023 headed for bed.
…. Beginning To Put 2 Plus 2 Together …
Five hours of sleep did me good. I come now to the last 7th Day of rest of this 3rd month in 2023, that is Saturday, March 25, 2023, at 3:01 am. Are the Scriptures clear in my mind now? Revelation 13:7: He was further permitted to wage war on God’s holy people (the saints) and to overcome them. And power was given him to extend his authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation, [Dan_7:21, Dan_7:25]..
… Ha! What A Trick …
Now I understand what is happening to me right now, plus why am I reading the classic writings? Let’s see, before Revelation 13:7 it’s written in Revelation 12:11: And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].
…. That Means The Saints In The Ancient Times Not The Present Saints …
(An observation not a judgment
In the Bible, the word “saints” refers to holy people — holy, however, not primarily in the moral sense, but in the sense of being specially marked out as God’s people. Saints are characterized by faithfulness to their Master Yahushua. The ancient saints overcame (conquered) Satan by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]. Revelation 12:11. The present saints are not equip to do the same for the most. Thus, the enemy of our souls is permitted to overcome the present saints.)
Wow! That’s my predicament now, I am not willing to die for my witness.
Because I fear the rejection of my children and peers again.
So? I go along with whatever someone else’s doings whether I like it or not.
Acceptance? …Does It Help? …
…. Well? Somehow. My health seems to be back to normal. Are there no more fears of any kind? Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at 2:44 am, up in much reflection. Does it help to merely accept what we cannot change? On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at 8:37 am, storm, shut computer. Spent this day reading, reflecting.
…. After Acceptance …
…. Then what? Wisdom! What is wisdom? The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting, insight. Indeed! Wisdom is the ability to discern, to perceive with the eyes; to detect or distinguish—a faculty or a natural ability for a particular kind of action sleeping within the human being.
…. Reflecting On The Matter …
…. Words. Here we have the words wisdom, ability, discern, perceive with the eyes, judge, detect, distinguish, faculty, and several other words to describe what wisdom is. Phew! How flippantly I have been using this word. It never occurred to me before to investigate the meaning of such a word until now.
…. O Well! …Confession Or Realization? …
…. Condescending, the word popped to reality. Patronizingly superior behavior or attitude. Dear me! Guilty! How easy we can become condescending falling into a tangent of a gossamer of words instead of focusing on the core of the matter.
…. What To Do? …
Nothing.
What’s done is done.
What’s written is written.
No need for extreme labor.
Looking up for the Creator.
It’s a new life. It’s a new day. Afresh. Anew.
New in a different way.
A new beginning today.
What’s today? Thursday, March 30, 2023, at 5:45 am.
Go with the flow.
Furthermore? Not slow.
If you hear His Voice from the today start, do not harden your heart.
The unknown God has a plan for you & me in His mind, in His heart.
…. What Plan? To Be Loved To Love …
…. Ah! But my plan is already set on love.
…. I love. I love without discrimination without those rigid conditionalization’s.
…. I am ‘love’. Am I?
…. Freedom is mine!
…. I wonder & ponder.
…. Friday, March 31, 2023, At 7:55 pm head for bed.
…. Reflecting …
…. Loved To Love? … No Conditions? …Freedom Is Mine! …Wisdom? …
…. What’s the catch here? Let’s see.
…. It all depends on what do we intend to mean by all those words.
I do not mean to be condescending, not setting myself to arguments.
But things are the way they are by the power of forces unbeknown to me.
Even so? Like all human beings do so do I, I had set my own perspective and rule to live by in all good faith as in sincerity or absence of any intent or attempt to be dishonest in dealing with other people as well as with my own self.
…. Well? Bless My Heart! My ‘Good Faith? …
…. My stumbling-block in my 83 years journey through the shores of these earthly grounds I happened to inhabit.
But guess what? At 83? The block has been removed from the grounds I am travelling on now.
Wow! Wow! Wow! The door is opening now!
Every day a little bit more for me to begin to see just a little bit of the immensity of the love from an unknown God to me. To you dear reader.
End of excerpts from previous posts.
Back to present post. What Do I See? Come With Me. I Will Show Thee …
As we peep in that door as it is slowly opening up not just for me but for all of us good faith sincere human beings.
One More Day To Look Up In Hope …
Saturday, April 1, 2023, at 1:10 am
Memories on my First-Born Special Day …
Yes, before, then, it was not a pretty life, but! At least we were a family. Dysfunctional but a family still. A loving family we were, we still are despite all of our differences. And guess what? Those precious memories of the family that we were with are helping to bring us all back together. No kidding. More and more I hear my girls mention one or another of the many memories we created for each other. What a marvel!
Blessed Be Your Days Forever …
Indeed! My precious Diana on this your 62 birthdays blessed shall you be now even unto eternity.
Sunday, April 2, 2023, at 3:31 am.
One More Day To Look Up In Hope …
Today I had the opportunity to share my reflections with Mary Joe. Spent most of the day reading, comparing the ancient with the present times. Quite an interesting matter. Headed for bed around 11:30 on Sunday, April 2, 2023.
Monday, April 3, 2023, at 3:30 am.
A Day Ahead Of Yesterday …
I continue reflecting. I am ready to live on today free from the anxiety of tomorrow. Today is Monday, a day to prepare the rubbish of the week for disposal. A day as well to prepare for a day free from the rubbish of a past in a yesterday.
What Do I Mean For Being Free …
What is freedom to me? To me freedom means the ability to choose one way or the other. Black or white? Good or bad? Not What I Think. It’s What I Do …
The introduction to the matter is quite intriguing. In an email it came to me this morning. What a jolt! So? I clicked.

Ezer Kenegdo
Are you governing the things Yehovah has put into your possession on His behalf?
I am doing something I have never done before. I am going to share with you a subject that I do not yet know.
I am learning about this at the same time as you. But from what I have learned it is not something that I should wait to teach until I have it all figured out.
I know you will find this weeks News Letter informative and interesting and challenging.
Excerpt …
“What is love?”
“Love is benevolence towards another at cost to myself. Love is not about how I feel. It is about making a choice to be benevolent toward someone else at a cost to myself over a long, long period of time. it is a commitment to fidelity no matter what the expense.”
Wow! Exactly My Experience Of ‘Love’ …
No kidding! Loved to love. Creation. Humankind. Order & timing. It all comes together in the first & second of the great commandments! It all makes sense now. From the beginning, the end, and in between.
The Agony Of My Moment …
Doubt. Fear knocking at my door again. It’s now Sunday, April 16, 2023, at 6:11 pm. Here lately I have been wondering & ponding that perhaps I am deluded, but the rest of my loved ones are not. I have been questioning the whole of the purpose for my life’s experience coming down to almost despair—to the end of my conviction, otherwise, the state of being convicted & pardoned.
What A Jolt! I Am Not Deluded! …
Standing in the Solid Rock of Yahushua the Messiah is no longer just a metaphor for me to fling around in ignorance of its meaning. Even so? I am beginning to realize that all my exclaiming and enthusiasm is mostly an opening for my loved ones to worry about my mental health. So? I have not been recording anything other than dates & times while I have been enthralled with the books I am reading.
Again, it’s Time To Talk, My Father & Master Of My Being …
Your time is now. Chaos, confusion & corruption is a fact YOU have warned us over and over again from the beginning of our creation. Speaking for myself, I refuse to set my mind on human’s theories & conclusions of any kind no matter how tempting such matters & beliefs happen to be.
For YOU, my Father have burned Your 1st & 2nd commandment to love YOU with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind (intellect) as well as I shall love my neighbor as I do myself. Written Lev_19:18 & Deu_6:5.
That is what I am set on doing despite my trespasses & infirmities & doubts & fears.
Is that my belief or opinion of whatever is written in the Bible that I don’t know what to call it but whatever it is, belief or opinion, I am sure of it with a surety that I do not understand myself.
I Have Been Frightened! …
Even so? Thank YOU, my Father. However stealthily I sense Your comfort and Your Presence assuring me of Your protection not only of myself but for Your children as well as for my loved ones.
YOU have brought me into Your Secret place to remain stable and fixed under Your shadow Almighty Yahuwah.
Your power no foe can withstand.
Therefore? Fright or not, I am going on stronger today than I was yesterday despite the fact that I do not understand how it is all taking place.
What Is To Be Today? …
It’s 4:02 am on this Friday, April 21, 2023, too early to tell. Regardless, YOU have invested me with Your wisdom to act & react genuinely on the basis of loved to love no matter what the day brings to me. So be it.
Emphasizing A Fresh Anew Perfect Beginning …I Want To Laugh Loud & Clear & Funny …It’s Been 16 Years Since …???
That April 27, 2007. I woke up weeping for Jerusalem.
Jerusalem? The farthest in my mind.
Who, what is Jerusalem?
Why am I weeping for Jerusalem?
Yahushua wept for Jerusalem.
Let me read that Scripture.
I opened my Bible.
I stopped in Matthew 10. I read:
Quote:
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
Matthew 10:5. Jesus sent out these twelve, charging them, Go nowhere among the Gentiles and do not go into any town of the Samaritans; 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. End of quote.
First Day Of The 5th Month Of 2023 …
What’s to be? We’ll see. Visit & lunch with Diana & Mike. Good news, will celebrate Mother’s Day at Roxana’s in Tallahassee, FL. It’s now Thursday, May 4, 2023, at 7:27 am. Time To Start My Joyful Day … A day to read, to reflect.
It’s now Saturday, May 6, 2023, at 4:50 am. The 1st 7th Day Of Rest On The 5th Month Of 2023 …
Yes, I do keep the 7th Day of Rest, but not in the traditional way rather in line with Hebrews 3:7-19.
Quote:
(7) Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,
(8) Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness,
(9) Where your fathers tried [My patience] and tested [My forbearance] and found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years.
(10) And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them.
(11) Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest. [Psa_95:7-11]
(12) [Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.
(13) But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamor of his sin may play on him].
(14) For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end.
(15) Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them]. [Psa_95:7-8]
(16) For who were they who heard and yet were rebellious and provoked [Him]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?
(17) And with whom was He irritated and provoked and grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dismembered bodies were strewn and left in the desert?
bed (18) And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [who had not listened to His word and who refused to be compliant or be persuaded]?
(19) So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest], because of their unwillingness to adhere to and trust in and rely on God [unbelief had shut them out]. [Num_14:1-35]. End of quote.
On Saturday, May 13, 2023. Roses & tulips from Diana & Mike for Mother’s Day. Joyful tears flow.
Mother’s Day On 2nd 7th Day Of Rest Of The 5th Month Of 2023 …
First Mother’s Day back in USA. On Sunday, May 14, 2023, at 4:30 am ready for Tallahassee Mother’s Day & Mike’s birthday celebration at Roxana’s house. Back on Monday, May 15, 2023, around 2 pm. Such a blessing!
Time to post again.
It is time to return to our Creator.
Jordan? What An Amazing Experience! …
Never in a million years had it cross my mind to wind up in Jordan out of all countries in the world, but it had to be. Looking back? I don’t know how I am still alive. All I can say is that my Loving Father Creator gifted me with His immense love for His creation, His so loved world as it’s written in the most popular verse in the Scriptures or what is called the Bible. Thus, He gifted me with a loving gentleman to take care of me as he would take care of his own mother, his name is Ahmad.
Why Jordan Not Jerusalem? …
It beats it all. Pause. I must reflect before I continue. Bad weather on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, at 4:25 pm. Headed for bed at 7: 24 pm on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Up at 12:11 am on Thursday, May 18, 2023. Bad weather again on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 2:39 pm. It’s now Friday, May 19, 2023, at 5:07 am. Spent this day in vain searching for a record of my 1st encounter with Ahmad. O well! Nothing new. Bless my heart. I am going on regardless of all my failures.
Why Not Jerusalem? …
Nothing, absolutely nothing is the way I interpreted it to be. From the moment I boarded the final connection flight to Jerusalem things turned sour for me. I felt like weeping as Yahushua did so long ago. O well! That was only the beginning of the greatest experience of the recorded words in 2009. It’s now Saturday, May 20, 2023, at 5:46 am.
Recounting …
I am now at rest back in the USA absolutely resting on the Almighty on this 7th Day of Rest as in Hebrews 4:1-3.
Quote:
Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it.
New Life Anew Afresh …
I am living a new life anew afresh new in a different way since the day I arrived at the USA after 13 years of living in Jordan in the Middle East. Experience Is What Counts …
My obsession with knowledge ended almost immediately on my arrival in the most coveted land in the whole world.
Of course, ignorance is not bliss but so is knowledge.
For everything there is a season as stated in the book of Ecclesiastes.
Knowledge Can Instill Fear, But …
Fear can work for good or the reverse depending on what we fear and why we fear. For as long as I can remember I lived in fear, dreadful, suffocating fears. Even with the knowledge of my loving Creator the fears persisted until the last few months. Why?
Let’s Find Out Why Fear Can Destroy Or Restore Us …
Let me pause, reflect on the matter like I have never done before. I have been reading and following some researchers before but somehow those researchers did not line up 100% with my Jordan experience so, I dropped them like a hot potato in my hands. Indeed, I did except for this Joseph F. Dumond, why?
Well? His appearance online kept jumping in my sight at the most convenient times.
Then, all of a sudden in recent months, his emails kept flooding my inbox.
I was tempted to report him as a span but, I didn’t.
Instead, very cautiously I began to click.
Ha! The more I clicked the more interesting his subject aligned with mine.
Finally, I clicked his offer to buy his 23 Days of Hell for only $11.
O man! The next day? My daughter asked, “What book did you buy for $78.00?”
WHAT? I only bought a book for $11.00, talking about panic?
Anger after my daughter investigated the charge to show me how I had added to my bill the bonus books for $67.00.
Fortunately, my daughter is used to such blunders that so humiliate me!
She proceeded to write a brief note to Mr. Dumond stating my mistake and requesting a refund with the remark to me that she did not hope for a refund at all.
She left. I was angry. She did not know of my former encounters with Mr. Dumond a while back. I almost wrote another explosive email to him, but a loving reminder came to me not to retaliate.
Who Is This Most Respected Joseph F. Dumond? …
I did not know this until I read his autobiography. I am? What? Humiliated? No. I am humbled, perhaps contrite, determined not to just apologize but to honor him as he deserves to be honored for his passionate love for the brethren albeit the love of our loving Creator as it is the core of my being to be.
Joseph F. Dumond Autobiography …
This is interesting. As stated above Joseph F. Dumond was not in my whitelist until my blunder with the books and request for a refund. What happened? How have things flipped like a magical ray of sunshine after a turbulent storm? A prompt reply did the trick.

Thu, May 18, 6:44 PM (2 days ago)
to me
Shalom ThiaBasilia, I understand and there is no problem, I have refunded you the $67 as of a couple moments ago.
As I searched for your information I pulled up a number of emails you and I had. They are very bisare. First of all I must apologize. It would seem I was talking to one of our team leaders but I was responding to you about cryptic language. I remember she sent me some things I had no idea what she said. But I now see I was sending it to you. I sincerely apologize. I have no idea what happened. There Please do forgive me for any discomfort I may have caused you. Those emails were for my team people . I regret that it seemed like I was talking to you. I must getting old myself now. Again I am sorry for the confusion.
You money has been refunded and if we can do anything else for you, please let us know.
So? What is the purpose of including these details in this post? Simple, in further investigation to find out why this information was so urgently flooding my inbox I found out at last the veracity of my journal.
I have been journaling since 1985.
My journal is a record of my testimony of Yahushua’s Presence within my being. Yahushua has compelled me to warn His people about the great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now and never will be [again]. Matthew 24.
Even so? I am not a professional, my writings are quite, well, not easy to get the message as clear, with such powerful impact as Joseph F Dumond is doing, exactly what is needed to shake us all to whatever needs to be done before is too late.
Autobiography …
Therefore, I am quoting the autobiography for all to get to know who this humble courageous man is. One who dares to question the false beliefs ingrained within our human nature even at the cost of his reputation much like as I have been doing for so long of a time.
Quote:
Joseph F. Dumond
Born in Ontario, Canada in 1958 and raised Catholic, I married my high school sweetheart in October 1978.
Two children and four years later in 1982, I was challenged by a voice on the radio to search out my roots. This was interesting as I was already into genealogy. I again heard this radio broadcast of the World Wide Church of God a couple of weeks later and was again challenged. How could it be possible for my Catholic faith to be wrong and this little group to be right about the Sabbath question?
I began to search for the answers and did not like what I was reading. So I began an intensive search trying to prove that Sunday was the Sabbath, so I would not have to change my faith. I knew it would change my whole world if I could not prove Sunday to be the true day of worship.
After six months of endless reading of many books and the entire Bible, I conceded that the Sabbath was on Saturday and began to attend with the World Wide Church of God in the spring of 1983 and learned a great deal about the Bible up to 1994. In 1994 I felt the WWCG had begun to return to mainstream religions and so I left. One of the last things I was told was that everything I had learned over the past 11 years with the WWCG was all wrong.
I quickly went back to working on the Sabbath and the normal western lifestyle. But I had a hole in my heart. After just a few months, I had to know if what I had learned was indeed a lie or the truth. I once again had to prove the Bible to myself without using any church literature. One year later, I had learned much in the way of truth again and was once again keeping the Sabbath. I had also learned some things that the WWCG had wrong.
Then 9-11 happened in 2001. I was shocked and did not know what was going on. I began to attend the United Church of God the following week. It was here that I felt comfortable again. Then, at the Feast of Tabernacles in 2002, I saw a young girl get her hair caught in the pulleys of a go-cart. Her head snapped back and over the rigid seat and right down to the pulley where it sliced the very top of her head open.
There was no one around to help and I raced back to help her. Her arm had hit the muffler a couple of times and peeled the skin right off, down to the bone. Yet, in all of this she was not crying and was as cool as a cucumber. I found this to be very strange. After what seemed like an eternity, help came and we got her hair untangled. I thought for sure she should have been dead the way her head was whipped back and at such an angle, but she got up and we walked back up to the clubhouse to await an ambulance to treat her deep cut on the top of her head.
Later, when I was asked to tell about the miracle I had witnessed that day and how she was not harmed or hurt when she should have died, I could not even speak and I love to speak publicly. But not a word would come out for weeks.
I eventually had to write it down on paper. My Pastor liked it so much that it was sent into the Church paper and read around the world. I then realized that writing was very powerful. I began to write more articles for the Church paper and the Magazine, and many people enjoyed what I had to say, which, in turn, greatly encouraged me.
Also, at this time, rumours were circulating that United was about to make me into a deacon as I was given more and more responsibilities. Yet, in the summer of 2004, I began feeling like I was going nowhere. I also felt that if the Messiah were to return, would we treat him like He was treated the first time? How would we know Him?
I began to read Samuel Bacchiocchi’s books on the Fall and Spring Feasts and learned a ton of new information. This caused me to take a much closer look at myself as I was continuing to repeat the same old sins over and over and was not caring anymore about whether I did them or not.
In December of 2004, I went and confessed my sins to my pastor in a two hour written speech. I was in tears and broken, and determined to change.
Within days I began to learn about the Sighted Moon calendar and how the Hebrew calendar was corrupted. This was stunning, but I had equally good arguments for both sides. Then Yahweh revealed the truth about the position of the moon in Revelation 12 being under her feet and that sealed the deal. The sun could not be radiating through her whole body and the moon be below her feet at the same time. This was the first sliver of the new moon and it was the Feast of Trumpets.
I wrote a paper for my church and submitted it to them to evaluate. Then, in 2005 I was going to keep the Feast Days according to the Sighted Moon. But when it was sighted, it was a whole month difference from the Hebrew calendar. What did I do? I decided to keep both. That meant I would have to keep two Passovers, two Days of Unleavened Bread, two Pentecost’s, two Feast of Trumpets and two Feasts of Tabernacles. But I only kept one Day of Atonement which was during the Sighted Moon calendar which was first.
For the Feast of tabernacles I was going to keep it with likeminded brethren in New England. One month before the Feast I was given a revelation from Yahweh about the Jubilee and Sabbatical Year Cycles. I wrote them down in a paper, and sent them to the head of the Feast Site asking if we could talk about this at the Feast. He wrote back and told me I was going to present this teaching. I was terrified. After this first presentation I then went on to present it as often as people would give me a chance.
For the second Feast in 2005, I went to Israel which was not a church-sponsored site. I again met with many Messianic brethren from around the world. Being in the Land and seeing so many things, sent my mind into a tailspin, and I was stunned at all the misinformation we are told back in the West. I thought I would never be back after this trip, and I cried a river of tears on the last day as we were leaving.
That winter I was researching all I had learned while in Jerusalem that past Feast. I gained a lot of information and had to go back to see if what I had learned was in fact right. But things were changing at my church group.
When I came back from Israel, my church group had changed. Actually, I had changed and they were still the same. No one wanted to hear about Israel. That summer in 2006 I went to see about the paper I had submitted the year before and I was going to tell them about the Jubilee Years.
Instead, they gave me the choice to stay and be silent about all I was studying or leave. My feet left and I followed them out the door. That same week in July 2006 I launched my own website entitled: http://www.sightedmoon.com. If what I was saying was wrong, it would be proven so in a very short time, but if what I was saying was true and Yahweh wanted it said, there was nothing anyone could do and no one on this earth who could stop me. Starting with just over one hundred email addresses, my site soon grew to almost 11,000 by December 2008. And by December of 2009, my site had half a million hits.
I returned to Israel for the second time now and on this trip I was re-baptized in the water of the Gihon Spring which used to be directly below the Temple of Yahweh. I have not been able to stop talking and writing about His Word since then.
In 2007 an opportunity to go and see the remains of Noah’s Ark in Eastern Turkey came up and I took advantage of it. I may never get another chance, I thought, so I went. It was awesome. At Passover that same year I began to write a weekly newsletter and emailed it out to all those on my growing list. I figured I could write enough to last seven weeks. I have been writing articles each week since that time and most of them revolve around the Sabbatical and Jubilee teachings from the Bible. There is so much to learn.
In 2007 I returned to Israel again and once again I mikvahed in the Gihon Spring with a friend. Something unexplainable has happened each time I have gone to Israel-each and every time. It is so remarkable.
In March of 2008 I went on a cross-country tour of USA speaking about the Sabbatical and Jubilee Year prophecies and the Curses that are happening to the USA. I returned to Jerusalem in 2008 for Sukkot and in 2009 I went up to Jerusalem for all three Feasts.
But in the spring of 2009 after teaching some lessons on Abraham, those things I am sharing with you in this book became a part of my understanding. I have raced to get them out to you. This is being done even before I publish the other book on the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years which is almost ready. It will soon be made public.
But in case you can’t wait, you can always sign up for my newsletters at: http://www.sightedmoon.com and read the articles as I write them each Sabbath.
There is one more thing for you all to keep in mind concerning myself. All of those things that have happened since 1982 have happened to me with an unconverted mate. That is, my wife remains Catholic and we are still married. We now have three children who have all grown up and moved out. As of yet none of them believe as I do.
I hope you all enjoy and learn from those things shown in the pages to follow.
Shalom and may Yahweh Bless your understanding and guide you through the coming terrible years. Joseph F. Dumond.
Those are not scary fearful tactics, theories like we have been reading about for centuries. I sincerely believe this is the real truth. Hopefully, once for all my loved ones pay mind or else? My heart constricts but there is nothing I can do to prevent the inevitable already upon us.
Hope. There Is Always Hope …
Even so, there is peace like a river flowing from within my being. For I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is NOT the will of our loving Creator that anyone should perish. On this note, I am closing this post.
Figure 1I am not ashamed of quoting the Bible because I am watching it coming to pass exactly as it is written. The following quote clearly tells us what is to come at the end of the miserable times we have been experiencing up until now.
Plot: The Antagonist Innate Self Of Mine …
Let see if I can correct the situation with the viewing of the posts. First of all, the former website: http://www.thia-basilia.com/ has been deleted so all posts in that site cannot be found but nothing is lost because the posts can be found in https://atomic-temporary-48388854.wpcomstaging.com so, that’s the site to click. Then, sometimes I get a bunch of likes in a post but, in the next post? No likes to my disappointment. Well? Guess what? Immediately the vindictive self of mine judge the readers DONT like the post! O me! Today? I found out the fault is my own in a way because I live in another world and when I come back to this world of human beings I am not all there, so? I forget what I am supposed to do in order for the post to be read. Therefore, the post does not appear in the site and it takes me some time to investigate the situation. Bless my heart. The matter is now corrected, hopefully? All readers can get curious to find out what really is my? Whatever in this most unusual site.
Fear Again Knocking At My Door …
Dreamed of eating Covid 19 infected apples out of all things. It took a bit to reason out the matter. Only a threat in a dream. How in heavens can I be infected with such virus? I have been suffering with muscle pain all my life way before the pandemic came about. O well!

Triumphally Going On …
A cup of strong coffee loaded with cinnamon the pain? Gone! It is written, ‘Psalms 91:1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].’ Finally, the Almighty Creator—the Great I Am has completed His work within my being. Psalms 91 is indelible forever ingrained within my being.
Now? Rejoicing In My Infirmities …
Indeed! No need to panic, to run to the doctor or to the lab for testing. My help comes from the Almighty Creator—the Great I Am, Who made heaven and earth as it is written in Psalms 121. That’s all to begin this day.
Monday, March 20, 2023, at 10:00 pm, bed.
Up around 4:30 am on Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

For the new as well as for all readers following this site …
Entering the portal of an interesting journey of life expressed in this most unusual SITE—Welcome!
Entering the portal of an interesting journey of life expressed in this most unusual journal—to say the least the thoughts expressed in this SITE will intrigue you—indeed! Hopefully such thoughts will quicken your desire to arise over all the adversities in your world by the unseeing power of our Creator as it happened to the author!
Opposition & Controversy! Why bother with this matter?
Why the thoughts expressed in this SITE should intrigue you? For the simple reason that these thoughts are totally opposed to the thoughts of the great majority who happens to read them; for these thoughts or concerns do not come from my human understanding. Indeed! I have a hard time understanding such thoughts that I must record! But I am compelled record them and record them I must in spite of the humongous opposition & controversy about everything that it’s written so far.
Yes, I know I do not make sense at first sight, but as my story develops in this SITE the whole purpose for relating my story will come clear to all and the thoughts or concerns recorded will become the reader’s own thoughts. Of that I’m sure otherwise I won’t be bothered with this whole project!
What’s the project? …
I am committed to put together a series of books beginning with my autobiography that was published in May 2005, a very tedious work. It will be a while before I complete the project. Therefore, I invite you dear reader to check the posts already published at random, whatever head line pops to your attention. Take notice: the former website: http://www.thia-basilia.com/ has been deleted so all posts in that site cannot be found but nothing is lost because the posts can be found in https://atomic-temporary-48388854.wpcomstaging.com so, that’s the site to click.
I am not ashamed of quoting the Bible because I am watching it coming to pass exactly as it is written. Thus, even if at first sight readers turn away from what I share, eventually more and more writings on the same vein shall flood the Internet for the Almighty Creator of everything in existence aims to restore His creation, including us human beings to the original intent for its creation. Such is my legacy for 2023 expressed in Proverbs 3.
The Almighty Creator Of Everything In Existence’s Thoughts Toward Us …
His own Word, written not only in the Bible but also in the heart of His selected human beings shows what an immense care He has for His whole creation, and especially for each one of us people individually. He cares for us, has a plan for us, will not forsake us, and wants us to spend eternity with Him! In this post He compels the writer to expose once again the issues that keep us from enjoying the immensity of His love and care for us.
Observing. Listening. Waiting …
It is now Thursday, January 19, 2023, at 2:00 am I find myself in wonder waiting for whatever develops next. The experience of the last week has impacted my whole being big time. YOU continue to boost me up and up to function from the highest in the lowest. Sleepy. Heading for bed. Up again on Thursday, January 19, 2023, at 5:57 am. To that effect the waves of adversity pound the shores of my volatile imagination.
Imagination …
The luscious field to create good and evil. The good for the glorification of the carnal human nature aloof or ardent from the Almighty Creator of everything in existence. The bad to satisfy that nature’s lust for pleasure. Such shall be the subject to expound next.
Could It Be The Resurrection Is About To Take Place? …
Something I must wait to see how the Almighty Creator will develop the issue of pain & misery among us and His so loved world before I post.
Time to post.
We say, do, write numerous things. The truth? …
We Speak Words Without Knowing …
What does it mean to know? To know in this case means the personal experience of the original Creator of everything in existence, as per written in the book of Job in The Scriptures (the Bible). It is now Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 7:33 am. No Internet to check things out makes it hard for me to continue recording. I have to figure out again how to continue my work without Internet. For now, I will turn off all open applications then shut the computer.
Will continue with my reading while I wait for the Internet.
It is now Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 7:45 am.
Spent time in the sunroom reading.
While there chatted with Diana.
It’s now Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 12:14 pm.
It’s time for me to see about what to eat for lunch.
Getting A Handle On The Reality Of The Moment …
It seems to me that I am not the only one not knowing what is happening to us, but each incident bring us closer to a solid relationship among ourselves. The power went out on Thursday, February 23, 2023 around 9 pm. It’s now Friday, February 24, 2023, at 6:32 am.
Ready To Accept the Beginning the End & Begin Again…
Peace reigns within me. I am ready to gladly accept whatever this day brings. That was yesterday, Thursday, February 23, 2023. Reading the classics under a brand-new perspective has open my eyes wider to see what so many are now seeing, we are the people who will not die.
Quote:
For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory (majesty, splendor) of His Father with His angels, and then He will render account and reward every man in accordance with what he has done.
Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in (into) His kingdom. End of quote. Mat 16:27-28
It is now Saturday, February 25, 2023, at 8:56 am, only a few minutes before 9 am.
What will this day bring to me, to us?
Will see.
Well? …
For now I am going to bed. Hope for sleep. Slept on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at 8:14 pm to midnight. Read for a couple hours. Back to sleep. Up and ready for whatever around 5 am on Sunday, February 26, 2023. Cheerful call from Mike. Get ready, we are leaving at 6 am. In the car, where are we going? McDonalds’ for breakfast then Walmart for groceries.
It’s now Sunday, February 26, 2023, at 10:14 am.
Groceries put away.
The rest of the day?
Back to read.
Monday, February 27, 2023, around noon the phone cut while talking to Denise. I headed to Diana’s. she connected the phone again so I could continue my lovely sharing with Denise.
Diana came later on to help me out in a couple of things that I needed help.

The Day Came. The Day Is Now About To End …
Me? Going back to bed …perhaps back to reading. I was not sleepy. I read until sleep came my way. Slept until after 4 am on Tuesday, February 28, 2023. Why am giving this information? Mainly for myself to keep a daily record of my doings, how things develop without my own planning. I am finding out that all things are preordained for me. All I have to do is to daily flow with the supernatural ordination of my daily living. Living for today not for tomorrow for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble as it is written.
Quote:
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:31-34)
What A Difference Each Day Now Makes …
Joyful living each day increases. The best part? Each day I am finding out the truth not only of my earthly existence but the existence of all creation including us human beings. It is now Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at 8:30 am. Ready for a reading break. On this day I read, I ate, I did it again until around 9:30 pm to 4 am on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. I did not even realize that yesterday was the end of the 2nd month of 2023.
It’s now Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 12:53 pm.
So? Here I Am On The 3rd Month Of 2023 Year …
What is going on with me? I wonder. It’s now Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 6:09 am. I dream again, first there was a tiny baby in front of me, I pick him up and cuddled him also I think I saw a shadow of my mother holding a baby then there were men trying to break my door to hurt me but this time I was not alone there were others ready to secure the door. I kept telling them to go get whoever man in the house but the last thing I said was, “get me the gun. I woke up.
I did not get up to check the doors as I used to do, I said up high, “You are my Protector
I am not scared anymore.
It was now after 7 am.
Just when I was sitting down to continue reading Diana came to invite me to go with them to Laurel, they were going to for a lawn motor.
We were to have donuts for breakfast.
What a way to start the 2nd day of this 3rd month in 2023 year …
Wondering somehow perhaps the dream is a premunition for the good.
Hope, There Is Always Hope …
Meanwhile, I will attempt to connect my DVD at 2:32 pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023. I did not succeed. But indeed, there is hope. There is always hope. Had supper at Diana & Mike’s. Back to read on Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 6:55 pm. Sleep came. Sleep went around 11 pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023. Back to the book. The time advanced page after page. It was 3 am on Friday, March 3, 2023, by the time sleep came back. Up for a cup of coffee around 6 am.
It’s now 10:03 am on Friday, March 3, 2023.
The book is calling me. Then sleep. The day ended. Anew day around 1:30 am on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
A Milestone In My Journey …
Indeed! A milestone on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at 12:30 pm, I find myself alone but not lonely even when Diana & mike are off in a trip, will be back on Monday. Smoky is keeping me company in a way but he has been acting up, so Mary Joe came to help me to settle him down. On the boot I had an opportunity to get acquainted with Mary Joe. We had a wonderful visit, I think.
Read most of the day until about 8:30 pm on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
Slept until about 1:30 am on Sunday, March 5, 2023.
Read, drank coffee. Ate breakfast.
Ready now to continue reading on Sunday, March 5, 2023, at 6:44 am.
Sunday came and went without much ado.
Diana & Mike returned today Monday, March 6, 2023, happy campers.
Spent the day sharing with Diana.
Plus worked illustration ‘It Is Finished …’
It is now Monday, March 6, 2023, at 8:40 pm. Heading for bed.
The Unknown God …
Phew! Explosive Revelation … I am just now beginning to wake up to the reality and purpose for my existence on these earthly grounds. Blow me away! No need to defend or blame the unknown ‘God’. He is. He was. He forever will be!
He Has Made Everything Beautiful …
Yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Even so, I have spent my life up until now in my attempt to find out what God has declared I cannot find it out.
Quote:
What profit remains for the worker from his toil? I have seen the painful labor and exertion and miserable business which God has given to the sons of men with which to exercise and busy themselves.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
I know that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live; And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor–it is the gift of God.
I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it.
And God does it so that men will [reverently] fear Him [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is]. [Psa_19:9; Jas_1:17]
That which is now already has been, and that which is to be already has been; and God seeks that which has passed by [so that history repeats itself].
Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice there was wickedness, and that in the place of righteousness wickedness was there also.
I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time [appointed] for every matter and purpose and for every work. I said in my heart regarding the subject of the sons of men, God is trying (separating and sifting) them, that they may see that by themselves [under the sun, without God] they are but like beasts.
For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even [in the end] one thing befalls them both. As the one dies, so dies the other. Yes, they all have one breath and spirit, so that a man has no preeminence over a beast; for all is vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility)!
All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?
So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his portion. For who shall bring him back to see what will happen after he is gone? (Ecclesiastes 3:9-22). End of quote.
Well! What should I say now? …
Observing. Listening. Humbly Obeying. …
For I have learned that to obey means to love in the mind of the Creator. This fact I have been preaching but not practicing until this moment of my journey. So? What should I say now?
I Am Listening. I Am Humbly Obeying to Write It All In A Tablet for All To See, But…
What should I say? Whatever I need to say I should say it in writing, as per Isaiah 8:1, Isaiah 30:8, Habakkuk 2:2-3. Why? Simply, that’s the way the Almighty compels me to do. Now I understand, as long as I kept complaining searching for relief, formulating answers to the misery of pain, poverty, throwing myself wholeheartedly to the winds of a version of what I called perhaps, ‘love’, spiritual, supernatural, my dreams, my this, my that, my this, my, my, my, I, I, I, with the assurance or certainty of my own power to control not only my life but all lives at large as well that long I lacked understanding.
No. That Is Not Nonsense, That Is Reality …
What took so long to jolt that being within me? Time, timing—the Almighty Creator of everything in existence’s time that is. His time got nothing to do with time as is known to be.
The God-Given Task …
Only to listen, to humbly obey the words given by One Shepherd.
Quote:
Ecclesiastes 12 11 14
The words of the wise are like prodding goads, and firmly fixed [in the mind] like nails are the collected sayings which are given [as proceeding] from one Shepherd.
But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
All has been heard; the end of the matter is:
Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is].
Keep His commandments
For this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation
The object of God’s providence.
The root of character
The foundation of all happiness
The adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun and the whole duty for every man
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil. End of quote.
To Him Be The Honor Above All Honors …
To conclude, once the above quote becomes the reality of the present moment in humankind there is no more problem to humbly, joyfully express the purpose for the creation of everything in existence.
