Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 Religion is about philosophy.  Belief systems are about philosophies.  Philosophies dictate how we live our lives.  Beliefs of any kind matter.  I believe in the sanctity of every human life beginning with conception.  I believe that only God has the right to take a human life including our own lives.   But where does this philosophy about Human Life come from?  If it comes from myself I would be a completely different person.  If it came from a religion, then I am a follower of a leader or teacher.  I could join with others who share this same belief.  But I don’t find it in today’s Christianity.  I find it more closely aligned with Buddhism than Christianity. But Buddhism for me isn’t the answer either.  Actually, I would have to align myself with others who get this philosophy of life from Above.  I get it from Angels.  And what if I lie, or hallucinated, or spoke with demons?  I can’t prove my Angels ex...

 My Angels laid a lot of heavy things on me.  My pipes are my escape, but only partly.  My pipes are a part of my Spirituality.  I don’t have many wants in this life and really never have except for what we could afford.  I don’t need Dunhill pipes in my collection.  In fact I don’t even need pipes costing a hundred dollars.  I’d rather have a lot of tobaccos I can choose from and smoke those blends in the pipes I have.   Good tobacco doesn’t have to be expensive.  If I can get eight ounces for around 30 bucks that is just fine with me.  I have figured out that I go through about 16 ounces of tobacco in about a month.  Then I just order more.  Smoking pipes takes some financial wherewithal to care for the pipes.  I received a nice pipe reaming kit for Christmas that I have needed for quite some time. I go through a batch of pipe cleaners every couple of months.  I have pipe lighters that require fluid, flints, and wic...

 I order pipe tobacco towards the end of the month.  I like to order something I’ve had along with something I haven’t had. I’m big on Peter Stokkebye’s Proper English and less so on Arango Balkan Supreme.  Any tobacco from the Balkans is a holy grail of tobacco.  But last month I ordered Balkan Supreme with Proper English and find I enjoy proper English a bit better.   Balkan Supreme gets high reviews as it should, but I decided to try a blend I’ve never had before, which is Old College by Cornell and Diehl thinking it might be closer to Old Professor.  But Old College only gets a 3.1 star review with only eight reviews.  But it was the about the same with Old Professor.  In fact Old Professor wasn’t in the top 100 when I first ordered it.  Then it moved up to a top 100 best seller.   Proper English is a top 100 seller on Smoking Pipes.  But Balkan Supreme is a top 10 best seller.  Old College isn’t in the list.  I might ...

Human Life might be more at stake now than at any time since WWII.  What my Angels told me about God judging those who intentionally take Human Life just might mean more now than at any time since my Angels told me this 31 years ago.  Intentionally taking a life including one’s own means Judgement by God.   The rest of us have no reason to fear.  We can fear death, yes, but not God’s Judgement.  The world is very unstable now and I believe that people need to know about God’s Judgement.  My voice is small in a world where so many voices are heard.  Why would God tell me this?   I have wondered this myself.  But it is a message my Angels gave me.  Maybe at some point in time I will be heard, but I begin with a few.  Jesus died for every sin but the sin of intentionally taking Human Life, including one’s own life.  The key word here is “intentionally.”  All innocent victims will go to heaven.  But I am saddened when the...

Dr. Michio Kaku doesn’t get a lot of views on YouTube, but his vids have been showing up on my YouTube feeds.   He’s not an alarmist.  And I do think that 3I/ATLAS is intelligence.  Since my Angels there have been six presidential administrations.  It’s possible that 3I/ATLAS is the coming of the Messiah.  But what does this mean for us now?   My Angels told me back in 1993 that we were already in the Great Tribulation period.  Looking back I think Hitler was the Anti-Christ.  I believed each president to be the Beast from Revelation.  Trump is no exception.  But if what I think of 3I/ATLAS being extraterrestrial intelligence maybe this time I am right.   The Four Horsemen are here.  I can name each one, I believe.  But what if I am wrong about everything?  But on the other hand, what if I am right this time?  I had to wait for 3IATLAS to arrive.  According to my Angels I will live to see the Messiah come. ...

 I was posting in the mornings, but I’ve been sleeping in lately letting it warm up before coming outside and decided to post when I’m ready.   Apart from the US my pipe collection represents a number of countries, mostly Danish, Irish, and Italian.  I have pipes from other countries, but these countries are most representative of my collection.  As for tobaccos I would say I smoke mostly tobaccos from the US and Denmark with Ireland in the mix.   Pipe smoking is common in most countries of the developed world.  Some pipe makers have made pipes even in China.  I’m not sure I have any pipes made in China, but a lot of products sold in the US come from China.  But tobaccos come from mostly the US, Denmark, and Ireland.  Dunhill and Davidoff are from England with Dunhill having sold their blends to Peterson which is Irish.   I mention this because as a pipe smoker, I don’t want to pay more for European pipes and tobaccos.  But it all d...

I have to get away from reports of 3I/ATLAS and the news of the day.  I do this by watching various TikTok reels on YouTube.  Lately I have been watching reels of the dead coming back to life through AI reproductions of dead people coming back to life and portrayed as they would be as if they were still alive.  Some have brought life into old photographs and paintings and have given life to old black and white photos.   I’m sure most of you have seen these parts of history come to life through AI reproductions.  I enjoy watching the old come back to life whether the reproductions are of famous people or those who are unknown.  AI isn’t totally evil as it’s fascinating to watch historical figures brought to life.   Once in a while I’ll revisit the times that represent days of my childhood.  I’m also fascinated by AI renderings of what the future would be like if we could revisit the 50’s and see how the future might look like through the lens of to...

 The reports from Dr. Michio Kaku about 5I/ATLAS might be AI generated, but the OP says he post thing things Dr. Kaku has said.  He says that a message from 3I/ATLAS says not to forget who you are.  I feel as though 3I/ATLAS can read my blogs.  Maybe this is a stretch, but in my thinking God and Angels read my blogs.  I write as much for them as I do those who actually read my blogs.   Of course, I can’t prove anything I say here, but yet I say it anyway.  I call 3I/ATLAS the Watchers.  3I/ATLAS may be feared by many but I don’t fear.  In fact I see it as something supernatural and it can’t be explained.  I watch Michio’s videos regularly.  I’m as curious about it as is NASA.   I just don’t believe it is a phenomena that needs to be feared.  Judgement makes everyone nervous.  But if it is what I think it is, I have already been judged.  But I can’t prove this either.  I was posting it the mornings, but decid...

 Naming the Beast and the Four Horsemen gets too much into politics.  I’d rather just say they are here.  That is five of the major characters of Revelation.  I think that is as far as I want to go.  They are here.  And the Messiah will come before they destroy the world.  But the great battle is being set up.   Why are we still here after two major world wars and a capacity to destroy the world several times over?  It’s only by the Grace of God we are still here.  I wasn’t going to write again today, but I have been pondering this all morning and early afternoon as I’ve been pondering these things all morning.   I feel as though I have to say it and simply move on.  Why ARE we still here?  Killing off humanity is the only way Satan can have this world to himself.  He knows what will happen to him if God lets him have his way.  But we are still here only by the Grace of God.   I want to mention names but fee...

I could lay out here everything I see from the Perspective of my angels.  But I’m not sure I want to do this.   What I see in the grand scheme of things might not matter too much except for those who actually read this blog.  It’s why I have it.  Many don’t believe as I do about religious things.  And am I the ONLY one in the whole world that can actually “see?”   I have no reason to fear most anything.  So, right there I am different already.  I claim to have God’s protection via Angels.  But that still begs the question as to whether I am the ONLY one to know.  Can I name the characters of the book of Revelation by name?  I think I can.  I can safely say that Hitler is the Anti-Christ and the Beast is among us now.  I think I can name the Four Horsemen by name.   But as to whether this matters right now I’m beginning to think that 3I/ATLAS is messianic in some way.  But then I might be just a crazy old man who ...

I often wish I could explain more here than I have about my Angels, but I had to learn what to say and what not to say and to whom I say it.  I could write my own Bible commentary, but my thinking is that if those interested knew what I had to say about the Bible no one woyld read it.   And maybe according to those closest to me I have pretty much said enough.  The problem is that I don’t want to boast and appear arrogant.  But at times I need my arrogance to protect my ego.  Because I know there is much more I could say, but I don’t.  Many times I have been tempted to say more, but there is a lot I’ve kept to myself except for a few.   The fact is God knew I’d do it right without losing my humility.  The only time I say a lot is in writing, otherwise I am quite quiet.  Let me just say there is a lot more to my Angels than all I’ve shared here.  I am best with one to a few.  God doesn’t want me to share with many.  But often I ...

 Keeping life simple is a goal late in my life.  I smoke a pipe.  But why a pipe?  It helps me remember.  I asked my angels whether I had to give up my pipes.  They said it was up to me.  I may not always live in a place where smoking is allowed.  As long as I have a place to smoke my pipes, I’ll smoke my pipes.   I don’t smoke indoors so this lanai is a perfect place for me to smoke my pipes.  I consider a pipe as a tool for thinking.  I’m constantly thinking about all my angels told me.  I inherited a theology from my angels that I knew would not be accepted by most religions.  So, in a way I am waiting.  I am waiting for when my theology serves a Divine purpose.   Right now this theology applies only to a few and not many.  That is just fine with me.  I do my thing and don’t worry about the numbers.  I know who I am to God.  In fact, I am always aware of who I am to God.  I just need t...

 I am not talking about English as language but a pipe tobacco by Peter Stokkebye.  I got a bit distracted by 3I/AtTLAS, but feel I need to move on from it.  I want to review a tobacco this morning.  There is nothing new about 3I/ATLAS I haven’t already said.  Meanwhile I relax by smoking a pipe and decided to do a tobacco review this morning.   Since the Old Professor has been retired by Sutliff I have been in search of a good English tobacco to replace Old Professor.  I’ve decided a good English should contain a blend of Virginia tobaccos with Orientals and a touch of Latakia.  I’ve found it in Proper English.  It is what a good English should be.  It doesn’t have the leathery notes of Old Professor, but it still comes close to what a tobacco blend should be. Proper English is what the name implies.  It is simply a good bulk English blend.  I really enjoyed Quiet Nights by G. L. Pease, but I can’t afford the price of the tins...

 Is 3I/ATLAS God?  My answer is, “Of course, it’s God.”  I expected that all along.  But I am convinced that 3I/ATLAS is the Messiah.  And there will be a battle between God and Satan.  Satan will fight with conventional earthly weapons and the Heavenly Hosts will use means unknown to us.  The Judgement is coming.   All those who have taken Human Life will be judged.  3I/ATLAS is preparing the world for God’s Judgement.  I watch, read, and hear all I can about 3I/ATLAS  because I have been prepared.  I’ve been waiting patiently without any idea how God would do it.  He’s setting the world up by first communicating with a few.  And I have but a few readers of this blog.  We begin with a few at a time.   I am waiting until everything is in place.  But I am not worried.  It will take some time.  I’ll just wait and smoke my pipe.  My pipe this morning is my Dunhill pipe with some Peter Stokke...

 3I/ATLAS is either out of the solar system or is orbiting earth.  Depending on what you see, hear, or read.  But one thing is certain—it has intelligence behind it.  This is one thing NASA has kept quiet.  I try to follow reports that are not AI and I am not sure we’ll find much that is officially from NASA.   But I am fascinated by 3I/ATLAS.  I am not sure what to believe. I do know one thing and that it is not a natural object.  But what are we to believe other than this?  That is a good question.  Truth is hard to come by these days.  That statement might say more about our world today than anything else I could say.   I have my beliefs about what I think I know.? I can guess about many things.  And anything anyone says about the future of the world are guesses.  Mine might be more educated guesses based on what I know.  But I read and watch and take everything with a grain of salt.  I simply relax with ...

Regardless of where AI/ATLAS is in the universe I have been more relaxed since its discovery.  I call it The Watcher.  We are being observed.  I seem to understand it.  I’m thinking that by the end of the month we’ll know more.  Some will fear.  But I’m excited it’s out there.   I still won’t set dates for the arrival as I have called it.  I seem to be more connected telepathically.  I won’t try to explain the unexplainable.  I listen to others trying to explain it.  We are being observed by an intelligence.  I think of it as a ship containing entities we don’t understand.   This just makes me feel good.  I’m not worried about the world because if I’m right I can see the big picture.  I feel as though I have enough information about it.  There is no question it is not a comet, but intelligence.  And that intelligence is greater than anything we have on this earth.  So, I’ve decided to relax with my...

 There is only one voice I listen to regarding 3I/ATLAS, even if that voice might be AI.  He doesn’t say it is God doing the miraculous, but I tend to think so.  Theologically speaking, humanity is tainted by evil.  Dr. Michio Kanu is the voice I listen to in regard to 3I/ATLAS.  He’s a theologian without being one.   I translate his words as a theologian.  I haven’t written yet today, because I haven’t had time to sit down and relax today.  It is my own belief that 3I/ATLAs is either the Messiah or some kind of precursor to Him.  There are a number of reasons why I think this.  I can’t explain all my reasoning here, but several times in Dr. Kaku’s videos he mentions a 17 day period starting yesterday.   He mentions that humanity is on a threshold and has been isolated from other civilizations on purpose.  I haven’t written yet a theological reason for this.  In fact I see theology in much of what he says.  But my the...

My writings about 3I/ATLAS has garnered more attention than I expected.  I suppose even the very mention of 3I/ATLAS is a lot like mentioning any kind of person or thing that might show up in a search engine.  I mentioned a famous person once in a post and that mentioning her name was enough to trigger search engines.  People want to know about 3i/ATLAS.  I wonder why NASA has been quiet about 3I/ATLAS.  And I suppose I’m not the only one.  But governments are quiet about something they think will cause fear or panic.  I’m not an alarmist, but I am curious.  But in my thinking 3I/ATLAS is nothing to fear.  But we fear what we don’t understand.  And with NASA and other agencies quiet about it raises our curiosity.   Should we fear 3I/ATLAS or the silence about it?  I’m thinking it is so out of the norm that agencies aren’t sure what they should say, so they remain silent.  I’ve been watching vids by Dr. Michio Kaku, who is ...

 Anything I might say about the Apocalypse gets into politics.  I don’t want to do this.  It’s about timing.  3I/ATLAS is, I believe, a watcher.  I can’t prove this, just as I can’t prove most anything I say in this blog.  It’s a feeling.  But these feelings don’t guide my life.  Life and living goes on.  But I am aware it’s out there.   My Angels told me back in 1993 that the Tribulation was already here.  I’ve been waiting since.  It’s not the end.  It is for some but not for most.  The Judgement is actually for a relative few and not all.  But I believe that time has come.  Anything I read, see, or hear about 3I/ATLAS brings me closer to Peace than fear because as crazy as it sounds I understand.  My Angels prepared me for this. But lest I say too much here, I seem to know.  I am to help prepare the way for the Messiah when He comes and I have just begun.  I’ve begun with a few.  But i...

 I’m beginning to think reports of 3I/ATLAS are a blend of AI and truth.  I saw a report that NASA blew up 3I/ATLAS and knew immediately that was fake.  From all I know about 3I/ARLAS I knew we didn’t have the means to destroy it.  But then it all depends on what anyone has read about it.   3I/ATLAS is different from anything we have known.  This much I do know.  As to what I believe about it might not make much difference in the grand scheme of the universe.  I simply don’t fear it.  And right now finding truth about it is nebulous at best.  One can believe what one wishes to believe.  I have my own beliefs that simply may not matter.   I’m not an astrophysicist but I look at life through the eyes of a theologian.  It just might be the Final Judgement.  I believe 3I/ATLAS is here to guide us to peace and not war.  But then I’m an old hippie carrying over my Peace and Love days of the sixties to the present. ...

 I have a theory about 3I/ATLAS depending on what I read, see, and hear about it.  I want to believe all the probes are setting the world up for the return of the Messiah.  We have been watched for literally billions of years.  But there are things I’ve read and heard that follows closely what my Angels told me.   I wanted to keep this to myself but so few read my blogs I’m not sure it matters.  It’s about violence vs. Peace.  Militaries fear, but there are those like myself who find Peace in 3I/ATLAS.  Only those who think in terms of violence need to fear.  The rest of us can be in awe.   But it seems this is what messages from 3I/ATLAS are saying.  I can’t tell the difference between AI reports or what is factual.  But 3I/ATLAS has received a lot of attention.  It is believed to be a probe and not a comet.  It behaves like a probe and from what I understand it has sent messages.  And the interpretations align ...

 People who set dates for the return of Christ make me laugh.  And in some ways they make me angry because they grift off setting dates.  If they are wrong they just set a new date.  I have said Jesus’ birthdate is April 12.  Maybe that is a date I could predict every year until I am right.   Can I prove anything my Angels told me?  No.  I can’t prove Angels even exist.  I have no way of proving anything I claim my Angels told me.  I AM my only proof.  But will Jesus prove my Angels for me?  I have no way of knowing He will.   Does 3I/ATLAS have anything to do with the Second Coming?  I have no way of knowing.  Will I go out on a limb and make bold predictions for 2026?  I could.  But I’d be like an idiot full of sound and fury if I made any predictions for 2026.  I am looking forward to the real Christmas on April 12.  But most likely I’ll be celebrating by myself.  I have no proof. ...
