We have recently conducted a study of Cyberbullies which we are in the process of publishing on the Internet. Tom was stalked online as early as 1994, and since mid-2006, we have been stalked by a group of artistic Cyberbullies whose intent is to slander and defame us. We found their behaviors interesting and somewhat stereotypical of similar behaviors in society and groups, which is why we did the research on the cyber version.

The incidents are becoming increasingly common, as cited in the San Francisco Chronicle 03/17/2007. The article we read involves one fourteen year old girls struggle with these Cyberbullies who have stalked her relentlessly online during the last year. The taunting began when she was in sixth grade on a physical level, but escalated to online, specifically MySpace.com. She has since been taken out of school by her Mother, who plans to home school her and ban MySpace.com from their home computer. As her Mother stated “She would not know what kids were saying about her if she wasn’t on MySpace.”

These incidents are by no means harmless. In Vermont, a law was passed which requires schools to regulate bullies after a thirteen year old boy killed himself in 2003. The suicide was due to online instant messages which taunted him with threats, and proclaimed him to be of a different sexual orientation. The states of Oregon and Vermont are following suit by proposing similar legislation.

The following recommendations are provided in the event that anyone here is being bullied:

1) Don’t let them get a rise out of you. If there is no reaction, they will probably stop. Ignore and try not to retaliate.

2) If someone threatens you, don’t hesitate to contact the authorities.

3) Block them from communicating with you. If you are a member of a mutual site, you should be able to remove them from your friends list or bar them from comments.

4) Refrain from posting comments to them, or sending information which might be used against you.

5) If you have evidence of the bullying, save it. If you do not know who the bully is, try to find out.

6) Request that the bully stop.

7) Report the bully to the Web Site, ISP, or cell phone company.

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here’s what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

The above lyrics are to a song performed by the actress Doris Day. The lyrics are actually quite a bit older than most might think, dating back to 1588, when Christopher Marlowe wrote in his play ‘Doctor Faustus’ “Che sera, sera, What will be, shall be”. In recent history, the lyrics are attributed to Ray Evans and Jay Livingston.

When I was little, whenever I asked my Mother questions about the future, she would sing this song. I don’t know if it was because the song was popular, or if my Mother believed the philosophy, but that song is ingrained in my psyche.

When I was in the fourth grade, a boy I knew fell in ‘love’ with me. He had been the ‘boyfriend’ of another classmate, but he decided that he wanted to ‘go steady’ with me. We spent our recesses together, and since we were in the same homeroom class, we saw each other most of the day. Once, as I was walking home from school, I had stopped to adjust my bag on the steps of the Boys Club, when a friend of the other girl skidded to a dusty stop in front of me. He said “This is from Judy”, and hacking up as much phlegm as he could, spat full in my face. I was heartbroken and humiliated. Upon returning home, my Mother simply said, ‘This is how life is sometimes’. I went to school the next day, a bit wiser and a very much more watchful of others.

Since I know that you read this blog Thomas, I want you to know that what will be will be. We have removed any offensive content regarding you and your friends from our personal websites. We are finished with the childish and stagnant game you have drawn us into. If you so wish to continue, that is up to you.

We have never abused the art sites of which we are members by sending out mass mailings with links to our personal websites. We are painfully aware that you and your friends did. It would be wonderful if each of you could go back and undo the harm done us, however we know that the time and energy required is probably not something you wish to engage in.

In closing, please accept my personal apology for any grief I have caused you and your friends. My goal is to move forward with my life, taking this as a valuable lesson that experiences in life can often times be cruel, much like the one when I was in the fourth grade.

It was Solomon who said “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” The words we use today, and the way that we phrase our sentences has all been seen before. The sequence of the words may be different, but the meanings behind the words are the same.

Chiasmus

Main Entry:
chi·as·mus
Pronunciation:
\kī-ˈaz-məs, kē-\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
New Latin, from Greek chiasmos, from chiazein to mark with a chi
Date:
1871
:an inverted relationship between the syntactic elements of parallel phrases (as in Goldsmith’s to stop too fearful, and too faint to go)

The definition above is from Merriam Websters Online Dictionary, http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/chiasmus+/. It is a term which has been replaced with the word plagiarism in todays sophisticated and educated world. I found the following to not only be interesting, but really quite entertaining as well.

For instance, when Benjamin Franklin said “”Where there is a marriage without love, there will be a love without marriage”, he paraphrased, or in todays terms plagiarized, the English writer Thomas Fuller, who wrote in ‘The Holy State and the Profane State’ (1642) “They that marry where they do not love, will love where they do not marry.” This may not be the first instance of the use of this exact phrase, and it certainly was not the last, since it has been used by many other writers since Franklin’s time.

Here is another example of Franklin’s use of others thoughts. “Grief often treads Upon the heels of pleasure, Marry’d in haste, We oft repent at leisure; Some by experience Find these words misplaced, Marry’d at leisure, They repent in haste.” This was lifted in its entirety from English writer William Congreve (1670-1729), who wrote in his 1693 play, The Old Bachelor:

Sharper: Thus grief still treads upon the heels of pleasure: Marry’d in haste, we may repent at leisure.
Setter: Some by experience find those words mis-plac’d: At leisure marry’d they repent in haste.

The list of names of famous politicians and writers who practiced ‘chiasmus’ includes, but is not limited to, Confucius, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Today is my brother’s 56^th birthday. It has been over seven years since he has seen the sun, held his loved ones, or filled a room with his unique laughter. Daniel Patrick Sheehan, my brother, was needlessly and savagely murdered on June 8^th, 2000. As a taxi driver, he had picked up a fare in the small town of Casa Grande, Arizona around 11:00 p.m. The two animals in the skins of human he had picked up subdued him, abducted him, and robbed him of his life. Michael Edward Anita and Dale Lester Kisto, one of whom met his own fate in a manner well deserved, the other serving a sentence which is, unfortunately, not for life, these two animals, knew what they were doing when they beat my brother over the head until it separated from his neck. They knew what they were doing when they buried his body in a place not yet discovered. They knew what they were doing when they stole my brother away from his family, stole his charm and his wit, his knowledge and intelligence, his love of life and his future. Today, I celebrate my brother’s birthday, he who cannot celebrate for himself. Today, I remember my brother. Happy birthday Danny! You are well loved and remembered often and fondly!

In our disposable society, what value do we place on our ancestors?

There is a battle ensuing in Ireland, and it has been for several years now. This is a battle not unlike that of 1793, or even more recently the Easter Rising of 1916. Born of the Republic, this battle has at its core the finest champions, whose love lies deep in the Heart Of Ireland, the Tara Complex.

The Tara Complex has a rich, ancient, and honorable history. It is where the seat of the High Kings of Ireland was, the center of ancient Irish Spirituality, and the inspiration for the writings of an abundance of poets and scholars. The Celtic Twilight was born from this setting. It is told in mythology that the Tuatha Dé Danann made their home there, and that their descendants remained in the complex for centuries. It was a place of birth, marriage and death. Feasts, rituals and ceremonies were held there. It was on the Hill of Tara itself that the Beltaine Fire was lit by the head Druid. After extinguishing the old hearth fires, the people would carry a new spark, a token flame, back to their homes as a symbolic blessing from Deity. Beneath her hallowed ground rests the remains of ancestors to many, copper and bronze age villages, relics of antiquity, archaeological wonders, and perhaps the greatest prize known to humankind.

On April 1st, 2007, the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Noel Dempsey, turned over the first spadeful of soil, declaring the beginning of the destruction of the Tara Complex, and the construction of the M-3 Motorway. No sooner had the bulldozers begun their violation of the grounds than a wonder began to come forth. On May 1st, 2007, the day of Beltaine, before them they saw something taking form. Little by little, a wood-henge, the size of at minimum three football fields, began to emerge. This wood-henge dates from about 2500 B.C.E. to 1800 B.C.E., some say perhaps older than the Pyramids of Giza. This ancient henge includes earth enclosures, timber circles, and many banks. The surprised workers had uncovered a Sacred place of gathering. A cessation was called until archaeologists could determine if the work should proceed.

And proceed it does. On June 14th, 2007, then Minister of the Environment, Dick Roche, signed an order to allow the motorway work to continue. His successor, John Gormley, states that he is not able to countermand that order. On August 22nd, 2007, the An Bord Pleanala gave the go ahead to the National Road Authority of Ireland to commence archaeological work on the site. The artifacts and ancient ruins of Lismullen will be “noted” or recorded by the archaeologists, with anything they feel should be at the National Museum carried away. The plan is then for the NRA to continue the ground work and paving over this Irish National Monument. This decision is under review by the European Commission, who plan to conduct an Environment Impact Assessment this Autumn. On Thursday the 30th August the NRA are holding a conference at the Gresham Hotel in conjunction with National Heritage Week. A ploy? Perhaps. It is with great hope that a change will come.

Protesters, all heroes, have been working diligently to protect this important historical site for many months, spending countless hours writing letters, speaking endlessly to the public, and meeting with representatives who they still hope have the valor and courage to stop this “scheme”. A team of legal experts led by the esteemed Vincent Salafia have spent several years preparing authoritative documentation to prevent this planned motorway from going through. Will all of the blood, sweat and tears that have been poured into the protest be to no avail? The bulldozers seem eager to destroy this land, all for the comfort and convenience of the good people of Ireland, those who bought the dream of the “Celtic Tiger. These are those who are forced to live many miles from where they work, since they cannot afford to live in Dublin. It is very little thanks that we give to those who created the concept of the “Celtic Tiger”, for in this they have given the people more of a nightmare than a dream. The heritage of the people is being ripped away.

What price does heritage carry? Is it worth nothing in this disposable society that we find ourselves living in? Some day we too will become ancestors to someone. Will they remember us with love, or will they plow over our tombs, building rodes over and upon the ground in which we rest? It is with hope that they will remember us with honor and respect.

Shame on the lack of moral conscience of Ireland’s “government”, shame of the lack of moral conscience of the broader population of the good people of Ireland, and shame of the lack of moral conscience of the “leaders” of the European Union (who also will be receiving more words from me shortly)! What is so very important now is that those who are not afraid to use their voice speak out against this travesty which appears to be going ahead, and the impending destruction of the Hill of Tara Complex.

The preservation Tara, our Sacred heritage, and our Ancestral memories do not appear to be in the forefront of the minds of these new millionaires you speak of Kevin. What seems to be important are the tanning salons, the gaming rooms, the fast expensive cars you referred to, dining on food usually seen only in magazines and paying exorbitant prices, and the dream of riches associated with the Celtic Tiger, which is fast becoming more of a living nightmare and hell. When we were last in Ireland in 2006, most of the folks we surveyed (informally of course), weren’t even aware of the M-3 motorway construction, and those who did had not formed an opinion.

The fact that oil is “running out” (a manufacture of the World governments I believe) globally is immaterial to most of these good people of Ireland, who appear to only be able to see from one day to the next, trying to wring as much vacuous entertainment and empty joy out of this life that they can. Riots in the streets over the ban of vehicles! Now, that’s quite a vision, and one that could easily come to life if the good people are not made aware!! Quite like the general population of the U.S., where SUV/Hummer fever is rampant, even while we are at a crisis stage with oil. Apparent zombies staggering through life with no conscious thought or whim of what the future will hold or bring to our children and grandchildren.

On the matter of John Gormley. From what I understand, he was opposed to the construction of the M-3 motorway prior to his winning the election. His behavior is inexcusable and his reasoning unacceptable for not protecting the Lismullen Henge and other parts of the Tara Complex from destruction. I do not believe him when he states that his hands are tied, and that he must allow the decision of Dick Roche to stand. I will, as stated earlier, be drafting a letter to him in the next few days.

The most recent bloody battle, The Easter Rising, seems to have faded from the memory of the good people of Ireland. The heroes who sacrificed during that campaign, during the battle of 1793, and during the hunger strikes in Northern Ireland have long since become ghosts of another time and era. To ask the educators and researchers of the island, those who are generously funded by the good people of Ireland, to stand up and be counted amongst those who advocate education is not without value. We must all stand together to win the island back from those seeking to amass millions of dollars through the greed of these vast and destructive infrastructure schemes.

Yes, the generations in the future will sorely lose out on the beauty and magick of the heart of Ireland, Tara, if this road continues. Sure, some of the complex will be left, but the valley will be scarred, the air and water will be polluted, and the Spirit will be left sorrowful. The voices of those in times past will haunt the hillsides and the vales, broken hearted, singing of “The Dew Of Dear Tara”.

Tara is the heartbeat of the island, the Sacred Center, and the source of her spirituality. How unfortunate that the good people of the island would choose to trade that for material possessions and ease. I understand the mundane, as regards making a living. I am a Mother of three and Grandmother of five. I know the basic daily needs, and I know the wants of life as well. I also know that beyond this realm, beyond this thing we call life, is the Spirit, and to me, this is what is vitally important for all. Indeed, may all of the good people of Ireland pay heed to the stories of the Grandmothers and Grandfathers! My Grandparents and Parents told me the stories and history, I told my children the stories and history, and I am one Grandmother who will recant the stories of old to my grandchildren. Hopefully one day they and my children will travel to the land of their Ancestors, and let us pray that they will be able to bask in the glory and wonder that is the Sacredness of Ireland that has been given a reprieve from this destruction.

I stand with all of you, return to your roots now, regain the pride and love of Ireland that is your heritage, find again the magick of the land! Help the good people of Ireland in saving Tara, the Gabhra Valley, and the entire island for the future of us all!

Blessings,

Susan Isabella Sheehan

Dear Mr. Ahern,
With All Due Respect,

I have watched, since the Autumn of 2005, the continuing battle over the M3 motorway in the Tara/Skryne (Gabhra) Valley. I first became acquainted with the issue whilst my husband and I were on our way to the Dublin Airport the last day of our visit. It was then that we saw the “Archaeological” dig signs close by to the Hill of Tara, with “No Trespassing” written all over them. Upon our return to the U.S., I did a bit of investigating and was horrified, chilled to my very marrow, to find what this devious “scheme” actually entailed.

Mr. Ahern, Sir, I am not a native Irish-Woman, however I am Irish. I was raised from a young child to honor and respect my ancestors, both ancient and recent. I was taught about the patriots and heroes, those who gave their lives that the Republic could offer freedom to her children. Mr. Ahern, Sir, as I understand it, you have a portrait of Pádraic MacPiarais ( Padraic Pearse ) hanging in your personal government office. You have publicly stated that he is one of your heroes, someone who means something to your spirit and being, yet it appears that you do not stand for the same patriotism he did. When you were attending the Easter Rising commemorative celebration at Kilmainham Gaol in April 2006, did you kneel at this brave heroes execution site, saying a prayer of thanksgiving for the sacrifice that he made? If it had not been for Padraic Pearse and his fellow patriots, you, Sir, would not be holding the office you do. In fact, Ireland would not be a Republic, but rather still giving allegiance to Great Britain, or perhaps even another foreign nation.

Do you truly admire Padraic Pearse, Sir? Was he foretelling this very moment in time with the following poem? Please pay attention to the words:

Mise Eire (I Am Ireland)
by Padraic Pearse
1912
“I am Ireland.
I am older than the Old Woman of Bearra,
Great is my glory,
I who gave birth to
Cuchulain the brave,
Great is my shame,
My own family
Have sold their mother.
I am Ireland,
I am lonelier than the
Old Woman of Bearra.”

Mr. Ahern, Sir, if indeed you cannot remember our ancient ancestors, perhaps you can remember more recent history with the patriots of the Battles of the Irish rebellion in 1798. Perhaps you can remember reading about the gathering on the Hill of Tara on August 15th, 1843, when over one million Irish Men and Irish Women gathered to hear ‘The Liberator’, Daniel O’Connell, speak during what were some of the bleakest years for the Irish as a nation, An Gorta Mór. Perhaps you will remember, Sir, the multitude of monuments dedicated to the thousands whose bodies were left to rot in the fields from County Meath to County Kildare, rebels who sacrificed their very lives that you might enjoy the freedom you have today. Even more recently are the efforts of Arthur Griffith, William Butler Yeats, George Moore and Douglas Hyde, who campaigned against the British-Israelites when they sought to destroy the Hill of Tara in search of the Ark of the Covenant between the years of 1899 and 1902. Writing to the Irish Times on June 27th, 1902 they declared, “Tara is, because of its associations, probably the most consecrated spot in Ireland, and its destruction will leave many bitter memories behind it.” Their words are as relevant today as when they were written well over a century ago.

What all of these brave and courageous Irish had in common was the love of the Mother, the love of the Island, and the love of the heart and soul of Ireland, the Hill of Tara. This love continues in the hearts of the protesters who are risking their lives to the machinery which is rending the land apart, savaging the sacred sites, and raping the resting places of our ancestors throughout the Island.

Mr. Ahern, Sir, it is not only the M-3 which concerns me. It is the Rossport/Shell to Sea issue, the Turoe/N-6 issue, the Kilconnell/National Toll Roads Super-Dump Issue, the Poolbeg/Ringaskiddy issue, along with many more controversial and disastrously dangerous “schemes” which will most certainly lay waste to the “Ireland of the Welcomes”. It is also a fact that the M-3 “scheme” is to facilitate the transporting of the petroleum being pumped in the NW of Ireland to refineries in Dublin, there to be exported elsewhere, with little or nothing of the revenue being realized by the people of Ireland.

It is a well known fact that the government of Ireland has chosen to not disclose to the people that the European Commission has filed charges against the government of Ireland for failure to comply with the bylaws of the EU, thus making the Environmental Impact Assessment for the whole M3 project no longer valid, and therefore making it an illegal project. The government of Ireland has also not disclosed that there will be a hearing in the European Court of Justice in the Autumn of this year, 2007. It is a well known fact that the people of Ireland have been kept in the dark about the truth behind the M-3 and it’s spiderweb network of roads. It is a well known fact that the government of Ireland is in complicity with a range of “cronies” the likes of whom have not been seen before. On July 20th, 2007, the esteemed Kathy Sinnott, Vice-Chairwoman of the European Parliament Petitions Committee, published an open letter to John Gormley, the most recently elected Irish Minister of the Environment. To date, he has yet to publicly address an answer to her, or to the people of Ireland for that matter, for his reasoning in hiding facts about this.

To quote from the European Unions Aarhus Convention, citizens “have the right to access to environmental information, participation in environmental decision making and access to justice. This guide aims to raise public awareness about the convention and to inform people in a simple and easily understandable way about their rights according to the convention. Its description of actual cases may also inspire public officials working with environmental information. (January 2007).”

The Hill of Tara has seen numerous battles over the many centuries, but none has presented a greater challenge than the one it is entangled in now. The government of Ireland has become her enemy, and her champions are the ones who are actively protesting, doing their utmost to prevent the violation of this royal and sacred valley, which holds the secrets and remains of our ancestors.

Mr. Ahern, Sir, take it upon yourself to assume the honorable position. Save the land of our people from the raping and pillaging of these infrastructures. Save the land of our people from having thousands of years of heritage obliterated in the darkness of the night. Save the land of our people for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Save the land of our people for your own conscience sake. Save our Old Mother!!!

Respectfully,

In the days before time, there came to pass an awakening, and it was seen as good. The UM rose up and moved out from the midst of the deep. There was nothingness all around, with everything as a potential. As the UM moved over the nothingness, a reverberation began, flowing in and out of the deep, and past the darkness of the nothingness.

Fragments of molecules began to coalesce into bodies, both celestial and terrestrial, far and wide, near and narrow, bodies that were filled with wonder and delight began to form. As the celestial bodies grew in stature, they moved out and beyond the Great Center of the UM. There was no ending or beginning. It was evermore and forever. The terrestrial gathered and heaved, moaning with great distress, as a mother in travail. When the time moved to the place of being, all became as it was meant to be.

Then, upon the face of the deep there began to form pools of consciousness, which became the food of the the inheritors. Fleshy bodies formed without thought. It was time to begin the filling. The strange Saviour, the all in all, one with the UM, arose and merged with the beings. Here are the inheritors as told in the oral tradition:

The strange Saviour became fleshy, like unto the beings, and took unto himself the jeweled Woman of Urim, the holy sister, the great temptress who sits upon the hills of the city. Now Urim was close by Ki-en-gi. From this union there were born six holy ones, namely Nanek, Leelal, Denoch, Jenosh, Hoama, and Almago.

Nanek, the eldest, begot Remogag who watched over the land for twelve hundred wheels.

Nanek also begot Serpharim, Lenodad, Tara, and Zoastroantas.

Leelal, the second born, begot Javehaw the lovely, beautiful is her name and blessed is the fruit of her womb. Leelal also begot Triunity, Beelzwiel, Donfromus, Caileousus, and Fromerius.

Denoch, the third born, begot Cheshem, whose name brought peace and fulfillment to the fleshy beings. Denoch also begot Anu, he who was the wanderer of times, he who laid out the foundation of the heavens for the reintegrating of the UM in the final times.

Jenosh, the fourth born, engaged in a spawning with a woman of the fleshy ones, and from this union Thomenite was born. Now Thomenite was cherished for the beauty of his voice and his mastery of the harp, the sacred instrument. Jenosh also begot Tumulousem and Timerous, the twins of the who began the training of the UM.

Hoama, the fifth born, and Lerumina, a woman of the outer regions, begot Regulani who watched over the land with his cousin Remogag for times past times. Hoama also begot Jehosaramis.

Almago, the sixth born, brought forth with great effort Yorumor the just one. Almago also begot Sephara who was the originator of the holy games, praise be to her name.

These were the elders, the blessed ones. Remogag, Javehaw, Cheshem, Thomenite, Regulani, and Yorumor, all blessed and wise in their knowing.

Remogag spawned seed of a woman, namely Jememinina the beautiful one, and there came to be Loarenthi the mighty one who reigned after Remogag, and Mimana of Remogag, the defender of all the land.

Javehaw came upon a male, namely Urimetis of Urim, the one known as the boy-child, and from him there came to be Seuneranath, the holy one who still walks among the fleshy ones.

Cheshem, blessed be the name, brought forth Urinritia, the beholder of the beings, who mirrored all thought and time.

Thomenite formed a union with a foreigner, perfumed and seductive, and begot the divine Jahwehtrine. All creation wept, for the rare beauty of Jahwehtrine had never before been seen.

Regulani, may all that is holy be praised, desired to be chaste, and was left to be one with UM.

Yorumor the just one, begot Sumer, where was the beginning of the descendants of the UM, the keepers of the memory of the strange Saviour.

So it came to be in those days that Denoch, the third child of the strange Saviour, lay his head upon a rock. He was the first of the wise ones to return his energy back to the UM from which it had come. As the energy was released unto the waters of the Trianitary River, that great body of water that led from the birth place of Sumer, a great chorus arose from the heavens, with the Naphtali praising the name of the UM. When the energy was completely emptied from Denoch, the fleshy part that was left was offered up to the UM, a sweet smelling and savory sacrifice to the all knowing.

The child of Denoch, Cheshem, whose name brought peace to the beings, carried the ashes from the burned fleshy part to the Trianitary River, there upon pouring out and submerging them to be wafted to forever. Thus were the days of Denoch the holy one. There was much weeping and wailing, gnashing of teeth and gashing of the fleshy parts of the ones who remained.

Regulani and Remogag watched over the land together during this time of sadness. Denoch had been their advisor, a wise one, a Wittan master, Lord of the deepest knowledge. Thus, it was then that they turned to Cheshem for the inherited thoughts. He was wise and kind, and his energy was likened unto his father Denoch. Regulani and Remogag were pleased, and the fleshy beings remained content.

Let the holy oracles be heard, for it will come to pass that the strange Saviour shall appear among us, ready to reap the over ripe harvest. The fields will submit in quiet amazement, the heavy heads of grain bowing low to the ground, ready for the sharpened tool of gathering to strike.

Those who read these laws and recognize them will know who they are. Those who do not recognize it will be bound by it regardless. It is written within the redes, and part of the consciousness of the whole. Beware and be wary, be diligent and be conscious. Be prepared, for the strange Saviour creepeth toward Urim.It was in the beginning that the UM moved through and over the undercurrent of consciousness. It was good and void, and the vastness provided all the potential that was necessary to fill in the darkness. The UM saw unusual and indiscernible energies, and decided to experiment with the streams of thoughts. The UM wrote a law, which is now being implemented throughout existence. It is through this experiment that self actualization will occur. With no harm, with no malevolence, with eternity in its breath, the UM began.
The first of the law shall be:

With harm to none, as is it spoken, now it is done
The UM moved slowly through the thoughts, able to sense the energies in the undercurrents. Directly into the stream, the UM sent waves of knowledge into the masses. The UM chose only those who were able to withstand the extreme passion and heat of the experiment.
The second of the law shall be:

Thou shalt acknowledge that only those who are chosen will be uplifted and redesigned
It is written in history that there are those who have been chosen to be generated as the leaders. The energy is unchanged, a concurrent and recurrent form of thought, moving down through the eons of time. The UM has made certain that the stream continues as such, in order to facilitate the growth from within.
The third of the law shall be:

Thou shalt know that the recurring stream of consciousness shall be moved into those chosen by the UM
As is known to those chosen, the part of consciousness which motivates oneness is the UM part of the brain matter. When this is opened, it becomes clear that all paths lead to the same great center, which is the UM.
The fourth of the law shall be:

Thou shalt acknowledge that all paths lead to the same great center
The UM wrote a new song in the heavens. Commit to your soul the Song of the UM:

May the universes rejoice

In the newborn sight

In the everfresh godness

In the dewing of the soul

Oh, all behold the creator

Behold and beware

The new ones shall gather

And the seeds shall be planted

Rejoice, oh ye heavenly ones

For the glory of the Saviour is upon us.

Rejoice in the benevolence

Of the righteous and holy

Rejoice in the infinite ones

And the everfresh godness.

The strange Saviour comes, creeping in

The salvation of Urim begins

Behold and beware.
The fifth of the law shall be:

Thou shalt commit to your soul the Song of the UM
There shall be upon the dwelling a strangeness that has never before been felt. It shall be the Changeling of the times, and shall be forevermore within the streams of consciousness. Behold, the Changeling cometh, and Urim rejoices in salvation. Behold, that which was prophesied has now been fulfilled. Now comes the strange Saviour creeping, now comes the salvation of Urim.
The sixth of the law shall be:

Thou shalt acknowledge the Changeling as your Saviour
Urim, your holy sister, the beautiful temptress, will awaken in the morning. She will bathe her soul in gladness, singing the sacred Song of UM, rejoicing in her deliverance. All hail the deliverer, all bow at the feet of the UM. Sing the song, nevermore let it be far from your tongue. Rejoice with your holy sister, Urim.
The seventh of the law shall be:

Thou shalt join in praise of the UM with the holy sister, Urim
The UM has always been, before Nanna, before Suen(Sin), before the Naphtali, before time itself. Present yourself before the UM, make holy the day of your arrival. May you always be found wanting in the presence of the UM, in order for filling to occur. As it was in the beginning, the purest of essence will now wash over you and be in you. Beware and be wary. Be prepared for the coming of the Changeling.
The eighth of the law shall be:

Be found wanting for the great filling of the UM
The wisdom of the UM far exceeds any knowing. Nanna acknowledges the one, the all in all, the ancient and eternal of the UM. Let us walk in the foot steps of Nanna, of Sin, and rejoice in the wisdom of our beloved one. May Urim, our beautiful sister, be praised in her choicest moments.
The ninth of the law shall be:

Thou shalt acknowledge the wisdom of the UM
In peace and contentment, that which is uncommon and pure will merge with the holy and beautiful sister, becoming one with the center of the all in all. As the melting point is reached, the fusion will begin. All praise the beauty of Urim, all speak with praise the name of Sin. Raise your voices in adulation and adoration of that which you are.
The tenth of the law shall be:

Thou shalt merge with the beautiful Urim, the holy sister and temptress
And it shall come to pass that Sin of Urim will be redeemed by the strange Saviour, who creeps toward the moment of salvation. Be vigilant and be aware, for the strange Saviour is cunning, able to devour the unknowing ones.
The eleventh of the law shall be:

Thou shalt be vigilant for the coming of the strange Saviour
Stand in awe, for even the Naphtali praise the name of the UM. Glorification and holy songs rise up to the heavens, and all nature stands in rapt amazement at the power wielded by the UM.
The twelfth of the law shall be:

Glorify and praise the name of the UM
With Harm To None, As It Is Spoken, Now It Is Done©
