Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 It’s about what I claim my Angels told me and why I live my life almost more of a hermit.  All one needs to do to be saved is not to intentionally take a life including one’s own.  I know the pitfalls that causes despair.  I know what anger and hatred does to a person.  The Apostle Paul speaks of the straight and narrow.  Jesus addresses these things in His parables.   Hopefully any religion helps one avoid the pitfalls.  But my religion IS my Angels.  And what they told me often borders on sanity.  I have been very careful with my Angels.  Maybe too careful.  But finding a religion that fits the theology of my Angels has been difficult at best.  It’s not so much the experience with Angels.  The experience is believed, but not so much what I claim my Angels told me.   But I have a wife and family.  I just can’t live in a monetary.  And I can’t force anyone to read what I write here.  And for most ...

 I posted this yesterday, but took it off due to low numbers.  I feel this is important enough to re-post today. I can only guess as to who three of the Horsemen of Revelation are.  I have my guesses.  All are evil except for the White Horseman.  He is not evil but carries a bow because his enemy is Satan.  He is to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah.  I am guessing that the Black Horseman with the scales is a judge.   He might represent justice by himself.  But war and death is here now.  The Beast has always been the office, most likely the President of the US.  But it is my belief that these characters from the book of Revelation are now in place.  Yes, I could be wrong.  But I don’t think so.  I could say that if anyone argues with me they argue with God. Trump questions whether or not he will be in heaven.  I won’t judge him, but as anyone I don’t know, it all depends on whether he has intentional...

 Believe me when I say that all the pieces of Revelation are in place for the New Beginning.  I wish I could say that 3I/ATLAS is the Second Coming, but now I am not so sure.  But this does not mean we are not being watched.  I believe since WWII, we have been watched and observed closely.   But I have no way to prove this, just as I can’t prove anything I said in my first paragraph.  I am obviously hesitant to say anything I am unable to prove.  I wanted 3I/ATLAS to be my proof.  But is it just sitting on the edge of the solar system watching us?  I often wish I knew more than I do.  How much longer do I have to wait for the arrival of the Messiah? I can’t answer this question.  It is an educated guess that all the pieces of Revelation are in place.  But the word “educated” is a key word.  It seems that anyone guesses about the future.  How “educated” is any prophet’s guess?  I ask God only one question:  H...

 It’s one thing to believe in Angels and quite another to experience them.  I never doubted God and His Judgment.  My problem was always with people and not God.  I knew many people felt they judged for God.  People judge only for themselves.  Judgment makes people feel good in their own skin.   But while I always knew that God judged both Murder and Suicide, I felt God made exceptions.  But I had to learn that all other sins don’t matter to God.  People judge to maintain a sense of societal order.  But I had to learn from Angels or I would believe what I believed.   Without my Angels I wouldn’t be here today.  I didn’t have near death experiences to teach me about God.  My near death experiences were for others.  I have no fear of death and dying.  I have no fear about life and living.  God gave me a secret and it’s my belief that He has to protect His secret.   I have revealed this secret to a few. ...

 We all know about terabytes now, but there is memory past terabytes known as Petabytes.  Some large corporations use petabytes, but then there are brontobytes and yottabytes.  The computers used for the moon landing had memory of kilobytes.  We have had more memory in the first Nintendos than the memory in computers used for the moon landing.   But it’s not just memory but the speed that memory can be accessed.  I remember when the speed was 2600 kilobytes, but now for home use we measure speed in gigabytes.  I can remember the noise connecting a land line to a server.  Things have really changed in 25 years.   The amount of memory accessed quickly is mind-boggling.  Speed can be measured in terabytes.  The first computers took up rooms for kilobytes.  Now we have smartphones that do more than a desktop did in the early nineties.  When futurists try to figure out what is next they may be thinking about terabytes and petab...

 I frequently wake up in the early mornings between three and five o’clock in the morning.  I have learned these are the spiritual hours.  If I can’t get back to sleep I often grab my laptop and will watch a video designed to pit me back to sleep.  Sometimes the vids are of old radio shows or perhaps a vid designed to lull me back to sleep. Once in a great while I will get out of bed and go to the bathroom but I almost always fall back asleep.  I avoid any vids about news.  I try to choose something that will lull me back to sleep.  I very seldom get out of bed during these hours.  I think once I came out to the lanai with a pipe, but I almost always get back to sleep.   It is said that God wakes us at this  time to talk to us.  Very seldom is it stress that wakes me up in Spiritual hours.  Sometimes I need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  I drink a lot of liquid during the day trying to consume...

 Is AI replacing God?  Actually, AI just might be the last big thing.  Some say we will colonize Mars.  But the physics say that will never happen.  Satan tried to be equal to God.  He wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him.  Anything that seeks to be equal to God won’t win.  The ultimate choice is deciding who lives and who dies.  That choice belongs only to God—others He will punish. My Angels told me enough that I don’t worry about AI or going to Mats.  God will not be replaced.  He has made his choices for us.  And for those who don’t believe in God might become believers as they attempt to try to replace God.  They don’t share my faith but I am not sure I care.   I might be a voice in the wilderness, but I don’t care about this either.  I do my thing and let God do His thing.  If He wants me to be heard, I will be heard.  And if not, then my Angels were just for me and a very few.  Shakespe...

 I don’t smoke very much Aromatic pipe tobacco, but I went to a search engine asking for the best Aromatic pipe tobaccos for spring.  First on the list was Peaches and Cream by Peter Stokkebye.  I decided to put eight ounces of it for my next order.  It gets a 3.3 star review out of five on Smoking Pipes with about 26 reviews.  Aromatics generally don’t get high reviews.  I order about 16 ounces a month sometimes with a two ounce tin of something else.  I’m not sure I’ll like Peaches and Cream, but thought it might give off a pleasant room note my wife would like.   I have about a half dozen pipe tobacco reviews on the Smoking Pipes website, but doubt seriously I’ll review it.  I can get excited about a new tobacco I’ve ordered, but I’m not thrilled about ordering Aromatics any longer.  I got tired of Autumn Evening because I can take only so much of maple pancakes.   Peter Stokkebye makes good tobacco blends and it seems more pipe ...

 My Angels give me a lot of smiles.  Knowing what they told me is priceless.  A smile can easily turn into a smirk.  I know the solution to a puzzle that is 2,000 years old.  But I wouldn’t know unless my Angels told me.  But why did they tell me, you might ask.  Because they chose me to tell.  The puzzling question is:  What was Jesus saying in His Parables?   In Mark 4:13 Jesus says ALL His parables say the same thing.  The meaning is found in the parable of the Old Cloak and Old Wineskin.    Once something is old it can’t be made new again.  But what does “old” mean?  There is a sin God won’t forgive.  Scholars have been debating this for two thousand years.  My Angels told me.  One becomes old once one intentionally takes a Human Life.  This is the meaning of ALL the parables.  The Pharisees punished by death certain sins.  And sins are punished by death by some today.  And ...

 Desperate people do desperate things.  It’s amazing how old people respond to religious ideas once they face the end of life.  They begin to fear death and seek to be immortalized.  But desperation knows no age or income.  Desperation has as many reasons as sin in general.   But for those of us who don’t fear death, there is no desperation.  We take each day as a blessing.  We are thankful to just be alive.  Desperation may set in if one knows one’s time is limited.  Desperation is a way to argue with the inevitable.   I am far from a desperate old person.  I am waiting for the arrival of the Messiah and sometimes that waiting taxes my patience.  But I never live in desperation while waiting.  I simply don’t worry about death or dying, but often wonder how long I have to wait for the Messiah to come.  Desperate people feel they must do something in order to survive.   The poor get desperate for money so the...

 I listen to Chip Davis Dayparts Sunday Morning Coffee every Sunday morning while I drink my coffee and smoke my pipe.  I am pretty relaxed this morning after getting the best night’s sleep I have had in quite some time.  I watch an old movie from 1965 last night and it was a B movie about a spy who could transfer himself from place to place.  His car was an AMC Javelin.   I loved the looks of that car when it first came out.  But it is a very expensive car to own these days with a lot of work having to be done just to maintain them.  I love to watch old movies just for the cars.  My favorite old show to watch these days is Columbo.  Peter Falk did a great hub portraying Columbo.   A lot of cars in Columbo are old classic expensive cars. I wouldn’t own a classic today as parts are getting more and more rare.  Very few mechanics today can work on old cars.  Mt brother own a 1963 XKE Jaguar, but he can work on it himself as a hob...

 I have no doubt there is intelligence in the universe.  Whether it is 3I/ATLAS or something else we are not alone.  I am convinced there is intelligence watching us.  As to how to define this intelligence I can say it can’t be defined.  It is said Satan can do most anything God can do, but I don’t give him that much power.   Basically, my Angels gave me limited understanding.  We tend to fear what we don’t understand.  While I don’t claim to understand all things there is much I do understand.  I believe that God is the intelligence of the Universe.  And I understand about good vs. evil.  This understanding gives me no reason to fear.   Fear is Satan’s greatest weapon.  The whole idea behind a universal intelligence is to give us no reason to fear.  But why should I have this understanding when others do not?  I don’t have an answer for this because my voice is so small.  But all I need to do is just keep r...

 I’m not sure what to believe about 3I/ATLAS.  It’s either exiting our solar system or it is sending satellites into orbits around the earth. So, which is it?  I tend to believe the latter but NASA and world space agencies wouldn’t want to alarm us.  But I don’t believe 3I\ATLAS is nefarious.   God has to have some way of ridding the earth of all murderers at once.  Frankly, I’m not sure I care how God  does it.   But I believe the Judgement is near.  But actually it’s not my concern.  God can do whatever He wants to do and in some ways I am not going to care.  Satan knows his time on this earth is short.  Murders will increase.  But he will not win.  There is too much good in this world for Satan to win.   The biggest question of the day is whether 3I/ATLAS has intelligence and I am one who thinks it does.  We are being observed both by God and Angels.  It’s just that most don’t know how God will judge...

 This year Valentine’s Dat is a Saturday.  It’s not exactly a holiday, but it is a day to break up the winter blah’s.  My wife and I used to go out on Valentine’s Day.  But these days we are more content to stay home.  I’m pretty content to just smoke my pipe by myself and live in Peace.  She still works with our son’s business, but I am content with a quiet life.   I still take vids of myself smoking my pipe, but I don’t care about numbers.  Between FB and IG I am busy enough.  We have had the trials of life and both of us just want quiet lives.  I try not to let the news of the day bother me no matter what I see or read.  I’m thinking of this blog several days ahead, but I don’t let it become very important to me.   I’m always right where she expects me to be.  We are never far from each other.  I enjoy watching vids with lo-fi music sometimes not sure if I want to see winter scenes or beach scenes.  Most of th...

 Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.  Society praises heroes for having taken human life.  I am a different kind of hero being relatively unknown.  But my kind of hero is celebrated in heaven and not on earth.  I can’t prove anything related to my Angels but I AM the proof.  I could have a lot to boast about but my boasting would be about nothing on this earth. But if I have lied or my Angels were not in fact Angels, there is no way I would be relaxed in today’s world.  But I AM different having been made different by heaven and not by earthly standards.  IF I didn’t believe in God and Angels I would be a completely different person.  The world still stresses me, but not as much if I felt alone and believed what I believe. I don’t have to be a hero on this earth.  I am a totally different kind of hero.  I am virtually unseen here in this world.  But in a way, this world is not where I live.  Sure it’s nice to have things,...

 I just film myself smoking a pipe for about 15 seconds.  But after about 150 vids I now have about 25 followers on Instagram.  It’s not much, but my thinking is that in today’s world we need more calm.  My smoking a pipe helps keep me calm in a very uncalm world.  I’m not worried about the world today.   It’s not because I’m ignoring the world, but I am ignoring the voices of hate and unrest.  I am an observer and not very much a participant.  In fact, this is how most Buddhists are.  We see what is going on and tune out the din from all sides.  It’s not that we don’t care, because we do.  But anger and hatred is not the answer.  Nor is fear.   My Angels gave me Peace and I have had this Peace for over 32 years.  These things must be.  We are living in what the Bible calls the Last Days.  I saw this coming.  I didn’t think I’d have to wait this long, but I believe my waiting is almost over and all that...

 The New England Patriots have appeared in 11 Super Bowls.  Let that sink in.  They have the most wins tied by the Pittsburgh Steelers.  The Sea Hawks have appeared four times and won once.  As of this morning the Sea Hawks are favored by 5.5 points.  Of course, I’m rooting for the Sea Hawks.   Only a few of the sixty games have been good games.  I can’t say I have seen every Super Bowl, but I am old enough to give a historical perspective of the game.  Right now I am watching the Winter Olympics and later this early afternoon my attention will shift to the OSU/Mich basketball game.  Then I’ll watch the Olympics until about six this evening for the pre-game.   There are a lot of sports to watch today.  As of this writing the USA has won one gold medal with eleven nations winning medals.  We will see how the USA does in the games.  But there is enough to keep me occupied today.  Right now I am smoking my Nording N...

 If you are a sports lover this is a good weekend.  It seems a lot of people are hoping for a Seahawks win in the Super Bowl.  The Seahawks are favored by Vegas to win by 4.5 points.  A lot of people wonder why Vegas has spreads of a half point.  That half point prevents ties.  Vegas hates ties.  No one wins with a tie.  So the Seahawks have to win by at least five points for Vegas to lose.  And four points or less and Vegas wins.   But getting away from football is the Winter Olympics from Milan, Italy.  In my thinking the Winter Olympics is the best.  It has everything one wants in the Olympics, in my thinking.  And if the Olympics doesn’t interest you, there is college basketball now leading up to March Madness.  The college basketball teams are now playing for seeding positions in the championship games.   And if basketball isn’t your cup of tea, baseball is getting ready for the spring training games.  ...

 I am gradually feeling better.  My mornings have started later because most mornings now have been relatively cold.  But I am feeling better with less coughing during the night.  But this down time has given me time to observe and think.   I am convinced there are aliens among us, but they come only to observe.  This time with a cold has given me more time to listen to what others are saying.  I pay close attention to what is going on in the world and the Olympics gives the world time to pause and take a collective breath.   But in spite of my illness this past week, I have remained calm in all I see and hear.  I still following Dr. Kaku’s vids believing 3I/ATLAS is organic and not just a piece of rock.  It has intelligence.  And I have had time to reflect on that and the world.  I often wish I could say definitively when the Messiah will come.  But I’m thinking 3I/AYLAS has something to do with this. I can’t prove anythi...

 I don’t know whether the vids of Dr. Michio Kaku on YouTube are AI generated or not, but I believe what he is saying.  3I/AYLAS is organic.  It has intelligence.  But while the space agencies around the world are worried about it, I, on the other hand, am fascinated by what he says.  Militaries the world over are prepared to fight against it if they have to. I believe it to be a precursor of the arrival of the Messiah.  I claim to know HOW He will judge when He arrives.  Is 3I/ATLAS preparing world leaders for His arrival?  I want to think so.  It is imperative that no matter what I read, see, or hear I must remain calm.  I trust my Angels in all they told me.  What is happening in the world right now are simply stages of preparation.  All the pieces are in place.  This is my world view.  I do not worry about my personal safety or the safety of friends and family.   But most do not understand so they live in fea...

 I don’t even know whether to share my experience with my Angels openly or not.  This is why I do what I do and why my life has been relatively quiet since the experience.  I have wondered how I should appear in public places and either stand out or blend in.  It’s why I film myself daily recently in the past few months focused on smoking a pipe.   I don’t need to add my voice to the din that is already out there.  I am to remain as calm as I can be and not add to the noise.  If you want to read my posts the only thing you will see is my title unless you want to read my posts.  I don’t say anything in my short vids—just a brief commentary about the pipe I am smoking and the tobacco.   I want my short vids to be a brief portrait of calm in a world where calm is in short supply.  I’m not expecting much from what I do except to let close friends and family know I am okay and that I am calm smoking my pipe.  I am seen by a relative few....

 I judge no one for God.  My Angels only told me HOW God will judge.  I can pass on the information without judging.  And this is what I do.  Both murder and suicide are attached to many other sins.  In fact, the Bible says sin is the cause of death.  But there is some good news here.  Most of us don’t have to worry about it.   But there are those who are sympathizers of all kinds that will reject what I claim my Angels told me.  It’s why I don’t argue for the Angels.  The proof is in Jesus Humself.  Jesus says one can’t put a new patch on an old cloak and make it new; just as one can’t put new wine in an old wineskin and make it new.  This was the mystery of the Gospel that no one could talk about.   But why would my Angels tell me this when no one else seems to know?  This is a question I am unable to answer.  I have no idea.  This knowledge has shaped me into the person I am today.  I am rather ...

 Of course,  I can’t explain my Angels, but keep in mind that I believe they made me a messenger.  And it is just a matter of time before the world knows the Message.  Belief is one thing, but knowing is another.  If God wants the world to know the Message, then the Message will get out.  And if I have done enough then all I have to do is wait.  Don’t I worry about death before He comes?  No.   I do not worry about death and dying.  I just struggled with an illness, but I wasn’t worried the illness would harm me.  It’s a nuisance.  But for me that is all any illness can be.  I’ll be fine.  My biggest question is whether the world is to know the Message.  I doubt most anyone would believe the Message but knowing it is different from belief.   Maybe I need to begin with the Message itself.  The Message is rather simple.  Jesus died for every sin but the sins of intentionally taking Human Life includi...

 Generally speaking February sucks.  February has Ground Hog’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day, but according to meteorologists most of February is the dead of winter.  Even if we celebrated the birth of our country in February and not July 4, nothing can improve on February.   I’m not sure what I have, but whatever it is doesn’t act like a cold.  It just makes the first of February worse even here in Florida.  The high today is what it is—52 degrees.  There is no football today.  It is a great day to stay inside and curl up with a good book.   My wife and I were in search of a small space heater for use on the lanai where I can sit and smoke my pipe without freezing.  We went to Walmart and their shelves were empty.  Amazon could ship us one which we would receive in March.  We went to ALDI’s and they had two on a shelf.  We bought one there.  I am using it now.   I didn’t have much to say in the past ...
