"1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
God Bless!

Amen.

STOICISM
As most Greeks, the Stoics believed that a human being had a soul. For the Stoics, the soul was corporeal, and was diffused throughout the body. (The individual soul was actually a part of the world-soul.) Diogenes says, "And the soul is a nature capable of perception. And they regard it as a breath of life, congenital with us; from which they infer that it is a body and secondly that it survives death" (Lives, 156). The soul is that which comes into contact with objects outside the perceiver by means of the five senses, which are called parts [or better "functions"] of the soul. The perception of an object by the soul through one of the five senses the Stoics called "presentation" (phantasia). Diogenes explains, "A presentation is an imprint on the soul; the name having been appropriately borrowed from the imprint made by the seal upon the wax" (Lives, 7.45). The soul is like a wax tablet and the object perceived is like a seal that impresses a copy of itself into the wax. (Chrysippus warns, however, that one should not think that literally an object impresses itself upon the soul"

24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Both drinks banned in India recently due to findings they contained intentional pesticides and anti baterical agents in them as part of their ingredients.As Henry Kissinger once said in 1972 "The Best way to control a population is through its food" And he also said in 1974 "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world" Don't think this doesn't apply to us either.

So, we are sadly and quietly watching the collapse - wondering when the free fall will stop. Maybe that's why there is this "sound of silence" from this side of the pond.
