Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained

http://www.muhammadanreality.com/descentmuhammadreality.htm

This narration is from Ka`b al-Akhbar, who was known as Abu Ishaq. Ka`b was of the learned scholars of the Jews and during the blessed lifetime of the Holy Prophet {S} he lived in the land of Yemen. He did not accede to the honor of true faith during the Prophet's {s} lifetime, but only thereafter, during the Khalifa of Abu-Bakr as-Siddiq, or, according to other accounts, during the time of ‘Umar. He is referred to in some of the hadith related by the honorable companions of the Holy Prophet {S}. One of these companions, Sahif bin ‘Umar al-Ansari, claims to have heard from his father ‘Amr:

During the Holy Prophet's {s} lifetime I became acquainted with Ka`b and I used to meet him in a number of assemblies. It was his intention to come and attend the association of the Holy Prophet {S}, and without yet having met him, he confirmed that he was indeed the Seal of the Prophets; he frequently describe his characteristics to us. One day he told us that this was going to be the Holy Prophet’s last year, and that he very much wished he could make ready and go to meet him on time. He hastened his preparations and set out on the journey. There came one night, however, when he was seen to dart in and out (of the tent) at frequent intervals during the night, gazing intently at the night sky and weeping copiously.

The Importance of Being Earnest

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=2&article_id=79625

"What does it all mean Basil?" - Austin Powers,, The Spy WHo Shagged Me




Ah, now what does it all mean nowdays? Ask a Shi'i. You need to ask one that understands what being a Shi'i is first off. Then, you need to listen to that Shi'i when that Shi'i is telling you she knows what Nasrallah is thinking before he states it openly. All one has to do actually to know that, is to read the Nahjul Balagha it seems and of course, to have faith and be certain of the afterlife. Without those three things though, you must rely on someone like me. I often tell my kids who are profoundly influenced by the dreadful societies we must live in, that "if you cannot have certain faith, have faith in someone who does." That'd be me. Um, especially when I'm telling you about Sayyed Nasrallah as opposed to some dead poet who is basically, dead.

Unfortuantely for some people it seems.

Anyway, we just celebrated the second year anniversary of the mob style hit on Valentine's Day (forget about the NINETEEN supposed hijackers and the message that was sent, heh, and there weren't even NINETEEN known culprits you know) of our beloved martyr, Rafik Hariri. He is much beloved and he is a martyr. But, and I say, BUT....was he the only one that should require such profound ceremonies and heartaches? How about the eighty people who died when Israel tried to assassignate a much beloved Shi'i scholar by the name of Fadallah? Oh, he is still alive you know and going strong. Runs Mobil gas stations through the Levant and donates everything to his well known charities, mostly orphanages.

What does it all mean? What does it mean when a week ago, Nasrallah demanded the Lebanese government return a weapons shipment to Hezbollah. Is he CRAZY?

Not at all. And when I read about it a week ago I had a great big "Aha!" Yes indeed. Beloved Sayed Nasrallah who never lets anyone down, not so far anyway. What was he doing? Admitting OPENLY that Hezbollah was receiving arms shipments? Is he really all that naive? Or, are we? Alas. His concerns are that the arms shipments will go to one of the many US backed "insurgencies" present in Lebanon (the Mossad most importantly and their minions) and will be used against the Lebanese people instead of against the usurper known as Israel. That is what they are for you know and rightfully so. Noting that the US arms Israel, pays Israel's bills and seems to have this crazy lock-step march going on with their Zionist brethren.

Nasrallah is "going on the record" so to speak. That famous record that recorded that 85% of all Israelis support Israeli war crimes against the Shi'i of South Lebanon this past summer. On THAT record called "the periodical one".

So...what else does this story mean and reflect upon? What is the message when Nasrallah holds a much smaller rally, not internationally televised or recognized commemorating the fallen Shi'i of Lebanon's brutal past as it pertains to Israeli expansionism? It means, we won't be neglected and that the Sunnis in Lebanon have fallen prey to this steady pandering to their misery over ONE fallen Sunni businessman which the US is using against the muslims as a whole. Because Nasrallah is known throughout the ME as a muslim who has faith and is worth following his every word and deed and he is being listened to before anyone is and that includes George Bush, Musa al Sadr, Ahmadinijad, Assad, the King of Jordan, Mubarak and of course, GLEN the MORON BECK.

From the article:

In a rare public appearance, Nasrallah paid tribute to the two Hizbullah leaders, and also responded to comments made by Prime Minister Fouad Siniora on Friday, as well as those made by members of the governing coalition on Wednesday during the two-year commemoration of former Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination. However, Nasrallah did not mention the international tribunal to try those accused of killing Hariri.

Nasrallah insisted that he would not forgive Lebanese authorities for seizing weapons from his group. "We are ready to provide the army with all the weapons that it requires ... but we will not forgive anyone who confiscates a bullet and uses it irresponsibly," he said, referring to the truck-full of Hizbullah weapons seized by the Lebanese Army, near Beirut. Defense Minister Elias Murr has said the army would use the seized weapons to fight Israel in the event of any future violation of Lebanese sovereignty.

Heart of a Zinnia by Radiann Porter

Photo: Heart of a Zinnia by Radiann Porter






1. From the Book of Confusions

Silly old man walks down silly old street
waves his hand at everybody. You don't know him.
No one does. So he must be a retarded angel. - Ode to the Mining Town Waver

As the bee tends
the tendrils of time
on the outskirts
of her metaphysical chores,
she is weightless, harmless, free.
Flowers are her chaplains,
out in space and so small.
Daisy, peony, carnation:
you paper-puzzles, you grand masters,
how about me? Is this a Valentine?

Hey pollen pushers, egg minders
in the society of specialists,
who gave you your orders
to sting and mend?
All this subatomic origami, all these stars.





A must read is, The Chain of Miracles by Harun Yahya the famous Turkish anti materialism advocate and Islamic scholar. Makes you realize that the reason astrophysics is so hard for the layman to comprehend is because those describing it in the text books are lying about who invented it in the first place. They like to take a little too much credit and therefore, do not describe the invention of "something else" (Allah) as plainly as they ought to.

Lavendar Pit


Rocks, Mining and Human Nature

Opals are beautiful and Alexandrite, which is somewhat similar is the most valuable stone...more expensive than a diamond of the same carat weight. Alexandrite is a stone that is measured by its degree of color change...most of them are found in Russia and there are very few with color change potential greater than 90%.

I saw one in Riyadh that was 95% and it was valued at 24,000 US dollars and weighed only one fourth of a carat. When you hold them up to LIGHT, Alexandrites can appear to be green or purple or yellow or pink or any color of the rainbow. Lower quality Alexandrites only show a few of their colors and are worth much less in dollars.

It is the one stone that is like the human being. The higher degree of flexibility, visability and change, the more valuable it is. Diamonds are really the stone of peasants. Traded for weapons you know and actually quite abundant. Like people who are unable to change colors and dimensions, the diamond is not the girl's best friend at all, but humanity's worst enemy.

In reality though, these are all only rocks. You cannot eat them and when you die, you leave them behind and you are buried under nothing but rocks and dirt.

The Light

24:35
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.



Ode To Rocks

In pockets and gardens, under
our beds for miners carry
a fair share in long gray
pails with jugs of soup
near shanks and flesh
with crusts plus those
stored in the chests.
The spare parts of the world
cast about pose a craving
as deep as the ocean is long
as the rivers are wide. A record
of perennial harvests hauled
up from the ground
on ladders of iron, even that!
Beloved fountains of slag
pour into banks of remains
where genuflection pays
paper for gold and time with loss.
Poor men fair well in shifts,
forever on the way in or out
with dirt clinging, dirt in love
with the heroic skin, part
ancient shroud part, let me in.


And I hope that the Creator is pleased with my work. I don't try to publish at all anymore...not really. I believe that my poems are recorded and will be returned to me if I am lucky enough to enter paradise.

And here is an exceptional article about the famous Russian stones:

So, I was sayin', there was a flood and this guy looked at me and said...


http://gsahist.org/gsat2/pardee.htm

"Various correspondence in the 1920s led Bretz to believe (Bretz, 1978, personal communication) that Pardee was actually considering flooding from a glacial Lake Missoula as a cause for the scabland topography. Bretz (1974) speculated that Alden dissuaded Pardee from the idea. Bretz saw a memorandum of September 25, 1922, to David White, chief geologist of the U.S. Geological Survey, in which Alden noted of Pardee's work: "... very significant phenomena were discovered in the region southwest of Spokane.... The results so far ... require caution in their interpretation. The conditions warn against premature publication." "

So far we have, silence on the Cambrian Radiation, the origin of the universe from a single point of "zero mass and infinite density" and a flood. What next, the plague?

The Heretic, one J Harlen Bretz:

"It seems then that Pardee actually considered the flood hypothesis with Lake Missoula as the source, but was probably dissuaded from pursuing such a heretical notion any further by Alden and Kirk Bryan (Pardee's superiors at the time). This idea is at least consistent with Pardee's silence when Bretz presented his rather shocking catastrophic flood idea at the now infamous 1927 "scabland debate". 2

Sometime before 1927 geologists were catching on to the seriousness of what Bretz was suggesting. If true, Bretz's theory would undermine the very foundation of Uniformitarianism. Just as anticipated, the general outcry against any hint of a catastrophic model was very loud indeed. In fact, there was a very strong desire to publicly discredit and humiliate Bretz. So, to this purpose, Bretz was asked to present his ideas in public forum to the Geological Society of Washington. Bretz himself was rather unaware of the underlying purpose of this gathering or just how hostile his audience actually was to his ideas. Unawares to Bretz, six "challenging elders", as Bretz later referred to them, were chosen to counter Bretz's claims and beat him in public debate.6

Anti Shi'i Literature

http://www.muslimtents.com/aminahsworld/Shiite.htm


Shiaism (The Rafidah) and Islam are indeed different religions. This sect has developed into what we now know as the Shia whose beliefs and thoughts are repugnant beyond belief. The divergence of Shiaism from Islaam can be summarized from the books which they consider most authentic, and the statements of their most respected scholars. Some of the proofs are available on this page Most of the Muslim UMMAH and Western scholars have very little genuine and reliable knowledge of SHIA beliefs and practices. However, most of the openly declared SHIA beliefs revolve around The Concept of Imamah, the superiority of Ali (May Allah be pleased with him), and the so-called love of the Prophet's family members. As a result, the intense love that Sunni Muslims carry for the Prophet's family members combined with the magnanimous personality of Ali has led some Sunnis to accept Shia's as part of the Muslim UMMAH.

Why is the Qur'an necessary in Arabic?

http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~coby/essays/refdigl.htm

It’s a warm Friday mid-afternoon in a village in the Peruvian Highlands, not far from Cuzco. In the main plaza, a small crowd consisting mostly of women and young children – some of elementary-school age, some pre-school – is chatting in Quechua, seemingly waiting for something to arrive. And , sure enough, something does arrive: a brightly painted school bus, which stops near the crowd and disgorges a dozen or so neatly uniformed high-school students. It’s their families who have been waiting for them. But before these older boys and girls join in the Quechua chatter with their mothers and younger siblings, they bid farewell to one another and to their schoolmates who stay on the bus to go on to the next village. They talk about plans for the weekend – soccer, movies – and for the following week. How do I know this? Because this conversation is in Spanish, not Quechua.

Snort, Swill and Blow:

What next, the plague? Seems to me that rumors of avian flu are a bit overrated in light of midnight tornadoes, a binge-drinking rate among US teenagers at 45% and Italian snuff:
