Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 I have time to just sit and smoke my pipe and there are times I just don’t want to think.  Today is one of those days.  I was thinking this morning that I have all the pipes I need.  I’ve smoked all my cellared tobacco and buy what I need in bulk for a month at a time.  I smoke about 16 ounces a month.   I have tried all the famous ropes, coins, and slices that many pipe smokers like.  I’ve had many aromatics and always keep some around for my wife to enjoy the aromas.  I guess in my old age I’m kind of tired of thinking about what’s in my pipe.  These days I just want to light what I have, sit back, relax, and not think about what’s in my pipe.   I used to anticipate opening that new bag or that new tin and think about a review I might write about such-and-such tobacco.  But these days my old pipes are my best friends and I just want in them what I know I like.   I’ve found my favorite affordable bulk tobacco.  I think h...

In my humble opinion, the best psychiatrists, doctors, philosophers, and theologians are in their seventies.  Why?  Wisdom is acquired by longevity.  These occupations require wisdom.  I always felt that the best presidents of the US came from the Senate.  There they had time to acquire the wisdom of leadership.  They think in terms of long-term.  They think past quarters that only business people can see.   They have been tested by the way of governing.  Their thinking is years ahead.  They are visionaries for long-term thinking.  This is the way of older people.  They think in terms of generations to come.  Many of them are grandparents or in some cases great-grandparents that think ahead for the distant future.  They have been tested by short-term thinking.  They think of what is best for the future of humanity and the country.  Many have left a foot-print and now they are dialing their prints on humanity...

 After observing so many sins, both in the Chirch and apart from it, my conclusion was that God cares only about Human Life.  My Angels agreed with me.  For this reason I believe the best is yet to come.  I believe the worst is behind us, and God has now prepared the world for the Second Coming.  But my voice is so small, but I never worry about numbers.  I let God worry about numbers.  My task as I see it from my Angels is to do what I do in preparing the way.  I see my task as helping as my Angels said I would.   There are many voices that are louder who see what I see.  I just simply relax, meditate, and wait.  I try to write almost daily to exercise my mind.  And doing so helps me remember.  I can’t forget and as I get older, I need to hang on to some memories and conveniently forget what isn’t important.  My wife and will talk about things we remember and I remember some smallest of details, but some things I’ve ...

 I read that Paula White charges $50 for salvation.  I’ve wondered whether I’d charge someone money or meditating about them.  I’m not sure what she gets other than money, but I get Peace.  And my purpose is to simply give Peace the best I can.  But I said long ago I’d never make money from my Angels.  I felt if I did, people might think I made them in order to get rich.   It’s why I’ve been careful about using my Angels for money.  My life is proof that the best prophets aren’t rich.  I have a simple theology I claim came to me from Angels.  My task is prevention—not salvation.  If one is already guilty then there is no salvation.  My theology says we are all born saved and have the free will to lose our salvation.   Inner and outer Peace is the ONLY path.  I live the way I do without fear.  I simply have no fear of death or dying.  I can’t sell that.  If I could market my Angels maybe I’d be rich or t...

 It’s not my purpose to be an influencer.  I smoke pipes because they are my meditation tools.  I want to write this morning specifically about the Four Horsemen, the Beast, and the Anti-Christ.  The White Horse prepares the way for the coming of the Messiah.  I’ll start there.  He is not evil, but quite the opposite.  He is a direct opposite of the Beast, which I’ll get into later.  The White Horse does battle with Satanic forces and he is not scarred.  The other three horses are in government in some way.  One a judge, one another world leader, and another a powerful government official.    The Anti-Christ is gone but his shadow remains in the Form of the Beast.  The Anti-Christ was Hitler.  But just who is the Beast from Revelation?  I hesitate to name him, but his image is everywhere in the US.  He is the direct opposite of the White Horse and Horseman.  I will let you fill in the gaps.  He is ...

 The theology of my Angels is too simple.  It makes God too simple.  There is not much to it.  I suppose I could have started my own church, but there’s not much to it.  Salvation is based on not doing two sins.  What kind of theology is that?  It’s not about salvation, but about inner and outer Peace.  I didn’t know how to market the theology and had no role models for it.   So, I simply quit the Church.  And in thirty years the Church has drifted further away from me.  Maybe it’s vice-versa.  I have been watching YouTubes lately about the failure of mega-churches.  I’m a church of one.  I meditate for both inner and outer Peace.  Is that all there is to it?  Basically, yes.  The focus could be on just Jesus.  The Four Gospels and the book of Revelation is my Bible.   I average very few readers of this blog.  I have accepted very few friends on FB.  I’ve done this on purpose.  ...
