Dwell

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dwell well for life.

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist. 
The universe has a cause.

Nothing greater can be conceived
than the Most High. 

War is not the greatest good
for society. It is organized murder. 

Profit from the production
of violence is the greatest 
financial crime of all time. 

It is not sanctioned by law.
It is not the order for economy.

Law against murder, violence, cruelty
and slavery is natural. It protects
legal commerce.  The rule of law
defends rights for people.

Act only in a way that you can will
for others as law. Behavior that 
is legal and ethical is moral.

Morality makes statements
for personal and social benefit.
Maxims produce responsible care.

God is greater in reality 
than in the imagination.

Whoever dwells in the shelter
of the Most High abides in the protection
of the Almighty.

She will say, "You are my refuge 
and my defense, the God
in whom I trust."

She will be delivered from abuse
and deadly pestilence. 

She will be covered
with the warmth of feathers 
near the heart of her protection.

Faithfulness will be her bastion;
her boundary, a barrier for safety.

She will not be petrified 
by horror in the night
or terror in the light of day. 

She will not be haunted
by the cold darkness of plague 
or the fevered sickness that lays waste
any time of the day. 

Millions will stand by her side.
Billions will be for her rights. 
The right to life will protect 
her existence.

Her eyes will behold mercy
as the reward for the merciful.

No evil will assail her. No pandemic
will cause pandemonium for her.

Her friends will be angels. They will help 
her in the rightness of ways. They will catch
her when she stumbles to prevent injury
from the fall. 

She will walk with courage like a lioness
who shows caution near snakes.

She will be delivered from harm 
because she is bound to the power of love.

She will prevent the promotion of violence  
for profit from domination 
by terror from tyranny.

She will be answered when she calls for help.
She will be rescued and brought to honor.
She will be satisfied with life.

Salvation will be shown to her.
Perfection as a goal provides protection 
from insufficient performance as a standard.

The experience of perfect being however 
is not something that has escaped reality.

We know what it is to respect rights. We 
know that respect for rights is the 
ontological basis for law. 


91 Qui habitat

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *
abides under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 He shall say to the Lord,
"You are my refuge and my stronghold, *
my God in whom I put my trust."
3 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with his pinions,
and you shall find refuge under his wings; *
his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *
nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand, *
but it shall not come near you.
8 Your eyes have only to behold *
to see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, *
and the Most High your habitation,
10 There shall no evil happen to you, *
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, *
to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you in their hands, *
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *
you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.
14 Because he is bound to me in love,
therefore will I deliver him; *
I will protect him, because he knows my Name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *
I am with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and bring him to honor.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, *
and show him my salvation.


The ontological argument asserts that God
is greater in reality than in the imagination.
Humanly speaking, the argument posits
reflection on perfect being as a means
for escaping plutocracy as 'the way things
get done.'

A politician's responsibility is to
represent rights for the people in a country
with law according to the natural order,
not a fictively destructive reduction
to the power of death over life.

Historically, political 'leadership' has defaulted
to using the threat of death to impose unfair
advantage on society for the benefit of a select
number from the population.

The difficulty with the ontological argument
lies not only in misuse for the reduction of power
to death over life, it also lies in the reduction of social
to personal authority.

It's not like people don't
have responsibility that falls into the province
of personal decision. A single person however
does not have the right to reduce rights
for others to his or her choice
for personal profit irrespective
of harm caused to others.
