HI EVERYBODY! I am pleased to report that my trip to LYNCHBURG was remarkable! As well as productive in unexpected ways. A very real - and axiomatically quite spontaneous - movement is taking place, whereby OUR PEOPLE are establishing deliberate communities on the ground, replete with deep social interdependence and buttressed by natural ethical affinities. SOCIAL CAPITAL is being cultivated, in other words - and the result is that we are carving out our own living spaces. VERY very exciting!
LYNCHBURG is one of those places - and I plan, moving forward, to spend at least part of the YEAR there. I am not ready to foresake CHICAGO yet - when I describe muself as a Soldier of the Apocalypse I’m not just describing the epochal conditions under which I live in accidentally. I’m describing an apparent need I have to cultivate a pious instinct and hardness of heart by living in proximity to the heart of the cultural (and sometimes literal) battlespace. I’ve got sympathy for the devil - and even did I not, I can only thrive in the way that my people need me to when I am in his deliberate, and terrible, company. At the same time, I cannot emphasize how profound it is to see our people going home - and welcoming one another HOME. Including this wretched Prodigal who like so many others of his generation was thrust into this world as a permanent refugee.
On a more prosaic, and practical, subject, I found myself enduring a bout of illness in the days since my return. I go very hard in life - and at my age, and owing to my Rheumatoid affliction, I fairly regularly pay the cost for this. I’ve been quite inert in the days since I returned. I am however forcing myself to heal so I can return to the business at hand. I still owe you Fellas 8-9 FROGPACKAGES - and I plan to have all of them mailed out by next Tuesday. Fresh content is on track as well - including SEASON TWO of the MINDPHASER Podcast and the formal (‘‘HARD’’) launch of 7HOMAS TV.
Stay up, stay sharp - be CHASTE and be PIOUS but do so with a hard dick. LOVE you. - T
Any frogs in eastern Oregon? We should talk about this stuff
