Not shared, nor my shade; but something to be weaved; just as the measure of disappointment became it's own solution. But I talked my way through things forbidden, just to find myself blind in bed with those who are dead. Clumsy, but altogether natural of course, because it's consciousness what you refer in the description, yet that's what we don't get a lot about. See your deeds the way you are seen, and then return to a restless place: and the question in-between sheets will be why. Well, I just can't motivate myself to work without hot bitches staring. And that's the truth. Sad but True

Del desprecio a ese descarte, no he visto muchas cosas. Así se pasa una más para las cuentas, y aquí otro más para los versos, por qué aquí no hemos sido vistos. Cuánto más querría uno, que sino lo cuentas ni mucho menos piensas: << lo de este pibe que cosa más horrible>>, haciendo eso lamentable, por qué en decirlo nadie ha mentido. ¡Es horrible! Que cara es entonces la cuenta de lo que le sale a uno vivir sin más complejos; mejor seria cobrarmelo, para así saber que de algo ha valido. Bloqueame.

The Spirit of Fire
Flames begone, flames in spite: their warmth I felt - so I closed my fist until I could feel the warmth of my blood in my hand. And in dreams Fire came up to me and said: who am I? And I said unto him: you are bound to my bidding, thus your name misery will be. But fire wretched as he was, got closer and asked: and who are you?
And I said unto him that the blood of David ran through my veins, as I was his heir; for the mother of God claim me from death as a son. So Fire tried me, and figured it out.
You are son of woman —said Fire unto me— but as Fire acknowledged the name, I extended my left hand, and took Fire by the neck throwing him into the gound. — You are going to lace yourself to the right hand of the beast, and you'll keep him steady, so I can cleanly take him down. And Fire stayed down, and with his forehead kissing the ground asked unto me —why would the heir of David do so to earthly man?
And I said unto Fire that the beast from the abyss had left no mother for God, so I was to leave none of his body left for his head; as I was going to make it bleed until the end of the end of times.
The Spirit of Earth
Shapeless and without body, but keen within her many numbers, Earth came up to me in dreams, and said: who am I? And posessed in spirit as I was, I said unto her, that God had made her maiden again, and that she shall become the coins that Judas never received, which were to become the due payment of man and women for the body of Christ. Then I extended my right hand, and grabbed Earth by her hair —which descended deep into the abysses of hell— and cut it short so the demons of Lilith would no longer had her gripped by her back.
You are now a woman, and I'm going to rise you from the grounds. You'll lace yourself to the left hand of the beast, and keep it steady so with one shot I can cleanly take him down.
The Spirit of Air
A dream shaped by written words, whispered down for years by the currents of this Montain, and it's requiem witnessed but by a few — the end of dreams. But from where I standed at the peak, I called upon the distant currents that went down, and asked them: who am I?
And Air came unto me as bird, which had thousands of letters for feathers, and in the tongue of dead men answered.
"Somebody who only a few will remember by strange deeds; as the burden on your back, is a past tainted by impossible dreams. You were a lunatic giving new names to folk, and folk never bothered to remember —so your name must be freak, as you died in a forgotten shack some short time ago."
And as Air said these things upon me, I called Misery —as I had dubbed Fire — and told him to get inside my shot. The burden as Air had said, became lesser as i took the shot from my quiver. And I said upon Misery; that he was to set ablaze this arrow, as I was taking down the bird of Britain, and that I would do so, so God would give the deeds of Earth some better names.
The Lord is making a bridge between the empire of strength, and the last empire of men. Now by God's grace, I'm making the tongue of free men, the tongue of Spain. You will be eventually bound to my bidding, and if not me, it will be to the one I'm preceding; for I'm giving you twenty years to attone your wrongdoing. Alas, now because of your wretchedness, my shot on earthly men won't be clean, for his left leg won't stay steady.
Your old name was apathy, now I'm calling you Cisma, which in the tongue of dead men means schism. So now by the will of God lay unto the ground and say the words you've been teached. And as the arrow blazed forward, it's bending motion pierced the veil hiding the secret ladder of men. The bird of Britain catched on Fire, and it's hollering resounded throught the ladders of the mountain until the depths of the abyss. A column of air turned into fire, then violenty erupted from the vowels of the bird, and the wild fire spread as a storm from west to east all throughout the five kingdoms of men away from its own fiery wings, with a gift of misery and a few words to say.
"The name of your woman or the name of your man, will no longer explain their purpose to a man, a woman, or God. Charred words written by thunder will now be the new ladder of men — but until then, darkness upon thee."
But the feathers of old words, layed on the ground, for common folk now knew by the light of the storm their meanings — and horrified, they waged war on each other, killing each other, and seeking revenge on each other. Thus the bird of Britain dragged further into the ground, screaming and flapping
The House of Water
I head into the coasts, and the beautiful beaches in-between, to find the stranger who burns images in the skin of men. He is the stranger, and has adopted the body of a monster, and he is one who cannot be understood, so he went on to only go out home in stunts, for the burdens in his heart have become too great to bear. Through terrible pains he has given all he once was for an identity, and as I pick up on his past, i found familiarity in the feelings of his heart. Oh dear friend how we found looking in sadness to ourselves, after doing same but with different means, carrying into our shoulders the loneliness of this world. As you have in-skin the garments of the strange doctrine that I preach — I shall congrate you, for you truly have fought the world entire, for my doctrine is the words of those who shall defeat the world entire.
I may not have your strangeness in-body, but I have it in these words, and in the true feelings of my heart. And I say in admiration that there's no higher form of art, philosophy or religion: than those who perform the highest thing they can give a name about.
Now even within solitude, and at odds with what old dead men call God, I see you and I found strength in you, as I can see you are within me, and in that, you are within everything as it should be - as is meant in everyone who does something that touches the heart of another man. I call this the kingdom of God. Yet blind men and women will wonder how can the kingdom of God possibly be within two outcasts such as you and me.
Upong giving my regards and waiting for response, I found my way into a bench. It was a warm afternoon, and the wind carried the water of the sea. The bird of Britain came about down from the wind of north, and layed on the bench were I was sitting.
The bird asked: why hast thou become this?
And I said back to bird, scorched he was and nearing death, that it was me someone who was supposed to give names, yet for years I couldn't figure out one for myself. Then on went to being given a name, Alas all the wrong ones. Did Adan gave himself a name? - I asked the bird back. And there was no response from bird. Then I continued.
A man has the essence of his soul retained by what he is seen doing. Yet I did things nobody saw, so my soul wasn't with God but with something just as ancient, and nonetheless unknown by men in its true nature — then Satan as the better known devil, came about and pushed me into a hole. It was my own doing. Yet the things I did, I thought were seen. But nonetheless what I did was without contemplation on a posible return. Just as somebody who prints an image on their own skin. It's permanent. This is the essence of a memory in the soul of the man who's seen by others. But in the familiarity of a man who picked every irreversible decision like the Alien, I find myself feeling sympathy, for the man is still not what he has been seen doing, he shall redeem himself by what he decides to turn himself into.
Is this a way of saying that you want to get yourself a tattoo? Get a new look? - the bird mockingly asked.
And I gave the scorched bird no answer.
Then the bird said unto me: what about your career as a prophet, uh? And the things you said about returning with substance? Do you actually think this is substance?
And i considered what the Bird said, then I negated with a movement of my own head. It is not i answered, but i find the memories of me not making sense unbearable. For those mean the memories of a fool, un pendejo, an insane person, or both. And I will always try to amend what I don't do well. But now I wish for only one thing, and it is to be remembered as someone who makes sense, and who out of that sense, made good upon the world. I don't expect anything in return for what I do now, as it is merely an outlet to keep me sane while I finish editing my work. It's clear I'm too incompetent to be a competent influencer. As for once, I don't care about influencing anyone into what I think; but to perform what I think it's important.
Then every proverbial student is free to take classes so as they see fit, and to interpret such classes as their comprehension gives them grasp of what it's said. In such regard, this is what I offer now, while I make the journey to Madrid. And the bird tilted it's head so as to observe me with his left eye, then after a long impasse, it made a loud and painful caw, and finally flew away. Soon after the bird flew, I looked upon the stars in the nascent night, and confessed to them, that it was the memories of who we were, what often stumps us into wrong beliefs of who we should be, maybe even wasting an entire lifetime retained by that which other people remembered us as being. But we are not the owners of our own names, the place we go, and our destiny. That's the biggest lie the western world of hollywood heros tell you, as in truth is collective agreement what determines what we look like doing and thus the meaning we should comfort to, recalling that names are practical mechanisms to remember the purpose of things, their meaning, and how their motion is described in the world.
But making the task of beating that collective belief, akin to the Nietzschean ideal of the camel turning into the lion, so as to transform it's spirit and become something else. But if it's the golden dragon of all the huamn values which judges you insane, will you be prepared to wrestle with the entire culture so as to have your way?
As I layed my eyes upon each star counting up to the number seventeen, I confessed of being scared of those beliefs, as revisiting the past, became a painful deed — and as I prepared to leave, I uttered one wish on the seventeenth point in the sky.
Lord please grant me strength, the way you have given my friend strenght.
2.
The night deepen, while the sea tide sang its own song of breathing. Some time passed, and then on the stranger showed himself approaching at the distance. I waved my hand at him, and after the instant, he found his way into my bench while I welcomed him with an extended fist which he casually bumped - after the short acknowledgement the dark alien looked at my face in between it's cover of dark, and looking at it undiscernable in its true features, with suspicion asked.
— What is it that you want?
I acknowledged him as a friend, then mentioned my brief research, as I had come to know him as man looking for a job, yet nobody would hire for things mundane due to his appearance. I listened closely to the news, and came to understand that this was a man looking for a second chance.Then I saw the intent behind his doing, and two words came to stick to my own thoughts. The first one was <> and the second one was <>. I was admired.
In analytical psychology I figured this man was the ESFP —the personality archetype related to the performer and the entertainer—, possessed in an abnormal way by the spirit by which a person submits to it's contrary nature, seeking to integrate and find fulfillment through the chase of what's perceived absent. If he was the ESFP then doing the flip by following the radial axis of each Jungian function in the stack towards their opposite resulted in the INTJ. The mastermind. The architect. The genius yet awfully complex individual. That was the elusive spirit he was chasing.
But a spirit and a character that at its most pronounced embodiment in a person, would experience life as an eternal foreigner hiding from the light of other men. Such made sense to me, for I myself was the INTJ, and had at spirit the ESFP. Him. So where as this man chased the spiritual fulfillment of being a complex and deep individual, I chased the fulfillment of becoming simpler, so I could demonstrate with action the deepest desires of my heart. One who was born plentiful in means to be liked, becomes complex, mysterious and uncomprehended, meeting one who will be seen trying to make sense becoming simpler. For Carl Jung portrayed the anima and animus of individuals, as the sense of what its absent, yet deeply cherished an valued. So I said these things to the alien, while he silently listened to me.
— All of that sounds like bullshit to me. -Said the alien after some contemplation .— Sorry but the things you say, don't mean anything to me.
And alas for I expected such response, as if one thing was true about this journey, was that explaining the journey in and of itself would become it's grimmest task. I affirmated what he just said with a slight nod of head.
— These things I say and how they relate to each other, in its excercise are similar to doing stecheometric balance with equations in the head, but simpler I'm afraid. - Then I paused, looked back into the sea, and continued. — That's high school chemistry, but I don't expect everybody to pick up on it, nor like it, nor understand it.
— Now i have called you a friend, and where I came from we dub with this title the people we share destiny with. As far as I'm concerned, we are chasing the same thing, which is the hardest posible thing. We both innately understand that we are not home, as we want our spirit to return to us, and that's not what a lot of people ever honestly try to attempt in a lifetime; as such is anyone's call to feel complete.
— And very few people ever reach true individuality, beyond the name they are imposed at birth.
Then I looked into the black alien, and in-between his foreign facial features, I interpreted something familiar. Disturbance. And I continued.
— We have given ourselves hell as we lived chasing something hard, so we can avoid the same hell later on when we are finally back to our own house. This is a christian precept, altought a rundimentary one. Does that makes sense to you?
And after listening such, the black alien calmly looked at the veil in my face in silence. Trying to discern what my face actually looked like, but the night was dark. Then turned his stare back to the reflection of the moon over the waters, giving some thought to what I just said. I opened up my backpack, and drawed two cans of beer from it. Offered one to him, and he silently refused with a gesture of hand. I popped my can and gave it a sip, while I myself stared at the tides coming in and out of the shore.
— If you wan't a tattoo, we can work that out. But this sounds annoyingly familiar, and my interest is not religious. Are you religious?
I nodded in affirmation, and complemented saying. — But my doctrine is something nobody has heard nor seen. For its aim, is doing as Christ said, in perfect means. Yet its true that the teaching fits you, as it's the teaching of the future man; and there's nothing in common between the current man and the future man, as they may very well be different species. This is the precept of evolution.
The alien seemed surprised.
— These two men don't know each other, for the current man doesn't know where the future man comes from, for he himself doesn't know where he is going. Yet in deep realization of your own artistic concept, I think you might want new ideas to meet with your appearance. So tell me, are you curious about what truly happens to a man after he dies? Do you want to learn how to read someone's mind? Do you want to blast with words of fire the hearts of an amazed crowd?
But the black alien broke his calm contemplation of what I was saying, and slighty disturbed, aggressively rebuked after hearing such.
— But you mentioned 'Christ', so you must be christian. How can a christian even say anything interesting in this current time? Last time I asked, their sayings were dreaded by restriction - so why would anyone condemn themselves to a life of bore? Are you a christian?
And I nodded after the question, in silence. Admittedly, for I knew what the problem was with being what I was, and my new companion was bang on identifying it. Made a pause, then raised my sight to where it met with the sky and the stars in it, and I said back to him.
— I am, but not one of a type you have ever seen, for the Christ that comes, is a Christ of art.
2.
The riptide sang, in its secret dialect of earth and sea. I looked upon the coast, turned an eye blind, and saw the ocean as the scorpio, and the land as the taurus; as it was the struggle between two lovers, never meant to consume each other. Ideal love then - yet not to confuse with this partnership as it was whimsilcally tied by the means in which i arranged my current conversation; for my lady somewhere waited for me. Then i allowed my eyes to rest still.
The alien looked upon me, undiscernable in my intentions, and again figured for himself that my interest towards him wasn’t clear. In suspicion, and after the moment he collected his thoughts asked “In your weird words you dubbed me performer, so what is it exactly that you wan’t from me. To me it seems like you are gathering people for some form of religious clown show. When you forced this meeting upon me, was this a proposal you thought i would find amusement in?”. And after the statement my own stare wandered in my conversation partner. While as he had his say, i returned to my can of beer, and finished it with a long gulp. Tempered in an unwillingness to fall to my new found friend irritation, i said within my own thoughts: “The alien looks easy going, but he is barbed in wit”.
Then i opened the can of beer that the stranger rejected; the loud pop resounded in the relative silence, interrupting for a moment the steady chorus of the sea. Gave it a long sip, and said.
– Theres no proposal in place yet. But im certain of something, and that is that both of us are messed individuals which reached the bottom doing the same thing - but the way my understandment of the human soul goes: two people can act by mere interaction as reactives to each other, creating a new chemical compound after the fact.
– This new psychology is very much like chemistry. But it is not my intention to draw you into something, but to pull myself out of this «something» by doing right on another person and maybe that person reflecting the good back on me. I just need a conversation partner, thats all. And i will do this with you, and with many people more. Presidents included.
The alien reflected on it, and after the hiatus of a long standing position of suspicion he finally gave in, and eased up with a slight smile. A strange smile of relief. But the smile, was all too familiar for me, as i realized the man was a tortured individual: a person in long standing pain. I smiled back the way he did, and continued.
– Our pain has a common name, and is a name that can be written with words unfortunately. It’s the devilish mother of all spiritual ills and its foundation, rests at the concept of a past that wasnt solved. It’s called «inadequeacy», and for people like you and me, understanding one day that such inadecuacy had to be solved by our own means, lead us into an act where our name changed as the changes in our cover up act to solve our inadequacy did.
– We never honored the past or the present in our pursuit, as we desired in passion to find solution to the present, by matching it into the idealization of some future without ever realizing that the old or present essence of ones being would be crushed into non existance by said future.
– Then we found the realization of that new name, only to understand that its demands became a tyranny on the other faces of our soul: as our soul is not something that can be undestood in unity, but something that conceives in the beginning in multiple things which try to give shape to one thing. Theres many people in a village, and our minds, are no exception.
— But happiness is only achieved by those who have their soul entire - or those who are the same person regardless of the context and scenario. And we gave to much to somebody that wasn't us, as our spirit took possession and lead us down.
– This is this the essence by which someone goes to hell, only to do one thing over again, getting an ever lasting pain for all the things that were given up chasing that which was absent. The more someone is forced into being shaped by the thing that was concevied in lust, the more the individual misses the place they used to call home, for that is no longer within ones reach. Does this makes sense to you?
The alien left me with no answer, and as he contemplated the sea, a tear travelled through his strange face.
– In this state of anguish, affliction rarely ever feels company, as the very individual condition that was pursued, became a full suit and persona to be forced upon and wear. Hell, is one lonely place man because we only learn to speak a language, that only makes sense to ourselves. But i think we can find a way out of it. This is why I'm here.
“Look, what you’ve done, it’s not something i can see the way you can see my own doing on me.” The alien replied. “Besides the way in which i canno’t see your face in this night, you seem ordinary — but what you talk and the way you say it, evokes in every word regret. What is it that you’ve done that has you regret like this?”
As the alien finished speaking, I emptied the can of beer, layed my eyes on the irregular grooves that my feet had left on the sand, and then replied back to him, after making a recap of the story i had repeatedly told myself after falling down.
“My story, is the fairy tale of a guy who makes way for the new coming of a new man; a better man for the world, while he casts disarray upon the earth: much to his dismay, at the expense of his own soul as the people who become victims of disasters, were ones who this man deemed unfair; cruel, evil, despicable in past. That was at the beginning."
"Theres a pile of corpses behind that character — even in covid time, people as close as the local priest of the small town he lived in, would break their neck after falling in the shower, as he had the slightest suspicion of their secret deeds. All clean deads for that matter. Untraceable to nothing but sheer randomness. Magic as it seeems. But were this folk truly evil people or even guilty of anything? You may ask - the man never knew it for sure, as he never had faculties such as godly omniscience to actually know it; which has taken a toll on him, as the burden of justice is an unberable one for anything but a god."
"Which leads to another point: spontaneously picturing random numbers in the head, associating them with psychological compounds by angular momentum, and actually being bang on the suspicion. Truth friend, in its stochastic presentation: it's unberable.”
“Consequential of such attempts to rationalize his own story in the eyes of people such as close family, my dude became clinically diagnosed with referenced thinking. Which are fancy words for schizophrenia. Nobody believed the story as it was uttered."
"Yet the consequences are there for everyone to see, altought not visible in their cause and effect by anybody but this guy, which lead him first into regret over ever starting his quest as a reformer; and then repent.”
“Now before he realized of this lets call it «curse», he preached for years over the internet as the disasters started to slowly creep up. He preached in a fashion parallel to Niestzches Zarathustra; Zarathustra meaning a famous philosophical device artificied by the philosopher Niestzche, who’s aim was to portray the best posible man, as something he dubbed the <<Übermensch>> ”.
“Such concept being the seemingly more elegant brand of a humanist ideal for a not so distant future: today - albeit a wrong one, for this guy was not dyonisian himself. The backbone of his framework, is analytical psycholgy becoming a chariot for a true understandment of human nature: and ultimately a facilitator for love within light: not within ignorance; not within darkness. Most philosophers today though would mock anything analytical in it's aim."
"Then on the guy preached and dwelved further into the relative hole of his own doctrine: and became imprisoned by what he didn’t got right at first attempt, making him in the process the character that Nietzsche from the comfort of his own writers seat, never attempted to actually embody within realistic means: eventually figuring out within himself the ultimate Nietzschean aristocrat: a magic pen granted by being capetian by mother: from judah by father."
"But Alas, you have no idea how common suicide is within philosophers after they finish their best work. As language, becomes the ultimate barrier for understandment, and then to ones capacity to feel love. Difference — true saliency in ones individual destiny— leads to the gravest posible pain. Ironic isn’t it?”
“Besides technical work with a new form of psychology inspired by analytical chemistry, as that drawed from his efforts during the light of day, five years ago, once he felt the urge to try to reach out to the world from a position of what he deemed was greater understandment: he primitively preached during night his new set of ideas for people to behave beyond the limitations of manipulative psychology, albeit a harsh doctrine meant to clear the way for a better product: Christ himself."
"This is not a doctrine a human being can actually perform, as such its christianity at its highest capacity to bear fruit. It’s an impossible doctrine, yet solves the oldest problem posed in the bible. All which sounds very sci-fi bullshit-y but actual problems started for the protagonist in this tale, when the preaching matched with terrible consequences. Not figurative, but within tangible reality.”
“So just as we talk, theres a small legion of hackers pretending to be doing internet social experiments while talking in an artsy matter: much in my own style, entertaining the exact same concepts - a legion of dangerous monkeys, i have no control over."
"One of the many unexpected consequences being this, yet prompted by something evil; ancient: essentially replicating what my protagonist developed and then preached over the years, while these "hacktivists" lay their attention on things and people, as they select them and enforce upon them strict surveillance, to behave properly. Then to destroy them, as they did in 2020 with many corporations and institutions.A bizarre combination of theater actors to my own liking, and then cyber-security demigods: omniscient in their claims to surveill, and they are - derivative such of another device of what I've done; which is to build a theater so people can make-believe that they are infact performing within themselves something greater - but that's matter for another story."
“Most of the corpses piling up flat out dead, have no relation to him whatsoever; they became victims as my protagonist took measures to fight back the monster he found at the foundation of the known world. This is not an elaborate analogy for one's own unseen capacity for evil, as i mean this: a monster as literally as it can be. For these things friend, im doomed as in true strenght, i have nothing but the pen i use to write down what i think albeit always at danger of it’s eventual inversion. I have no real friends left. Not one who can understand, or help bear the pain: as friendship and love are all gated by understandment."
"The full story has many more vertients, but i think i’ve done it enough justice. This is the predicament of an insane man chased by his own shadow as he builds a better man: one who delivers heavenly things, and then a shadow stringed to deliver tyranny as the very strings behind him make the better man stumble while he tries to keep a grasp of his own spirit, and then of his own soul."
"That monster behind, is wicked smart — and cannot be outwitted nor overpowered but anything but divine smite."
“I’m heading now to a new country, to try to get friends from the only institution in the world who knows and adresses the current times being, and who by extension, might believe me. And to clarify, these being the end of times; but not the end of the world. Yet now i myself have a damocles sword pending over my own head, and i need to do something about it before it falls.”
And as i said these things, i reached out to my backpack drawing a third can of beer from it — besides my own super laptop, thats what my backpack had: an infinite supply of beer. Corona, Indio, Victoria, Dos Equis, Heineken; you name it. I popped the can, and gave it a long and definite sip as i emptied it complete.
The alien didn't try to show that he understood, but stood still in silence, with his sight in the sand below and pressing lips, knowing by my demeanor; that these things as I've said them was something that I needed to do. Then he said: "I don't follow man. You say you preach and then disasters occur. Like a prophet from the bible?"
"Yes. Then I preached to get rid of the things that are actually making the world worse, and something awoke soon after, and since then; everything I do is subject to being misinterpreted due to the diffamatory action of this thing. Now everytime I do something, it can be twisted and turned against my original intent. Right now the hackers are my worst problem: I may have a degree in computers but I have no fucking idea whatsoever of hacking. I earn my living as an A.I engineer.".
The alien raised his sight to meet with mine, and after doing some contemplation on the fact, quite simply said: "You are insane". Then lowered his own sight, and raised it again to meet with the sea and continued. "If you want a tattoo, we can work that out. But either way and whatever parts of your story are true and even worse; the ones you may be lying about: you sound dangerous in a delusional kind of sense, and my life is hard enough as is."
I pressed my fists, knowing then the old same thing had happened again. For I had never forced anything upon anybody, and I was willing to respect that until the bitter end. Then I released the build up of frustration with a loud sigh, and after this amend, I replied back.
"I understand and respect it. But let me just propose you that if you ever want to figure what is beyond life as it's lived by person who has never seen what is like to be someone you write a great story about; you can pin me, and I'll show you what's beyond that door. Give it some thought."
The alien; The Black Alien Project stayed there sitting, spechless but calm, almost expecting something else to be convinced about. But pointless, for i knew that nobody can be forced into anything without bringing a transgression into play – and i wasn’t one to taint myself in sin if it could be avoided. Not anymore.
3.
I made the distance at steady pace walking along the shore, until i found a small group of pines in-between the liminal space of the beach and the land. I sat with one of the pines trunk behind my back, and drawed the Schizo Pills from my eternal supply of traveller goodies.
Quetiapine 100 mg, and Olanzapine 10 mg, i made a smaller fragment from the olanzapine pill, and swallowed both complete. As their side effects were concerned, they would soon knock me out of conscience, as this little ritual was my own way of calling the day complete – then i layed there, vigilant, waiting for my own drowsiness to claim me into sleep - but the Bird of Britan came flying from above, and stood besides me.
\Chirp, Chirp, Chirp**
I watched the bird, annoyed, as its presence had become an omen for contempt. For me and the death people of my past. I frowned upon the little shit, and said nothing. The bird made a little nod, while tilting its head in excentricity the way birds do, and replied. — Hey Andrew!, do you remember when you tried to penetrate your own computer to make a universe grow inside of it? I just wan’t to know something: did your computer moan? Did it finally learnt how to scream your name?
\Chirp Chirp**
Ignoring the bird, i closed my eyes and stayed like that for a long moment, hoping to make the bird think i was asleep. Maybe that would make him leave.
— Can’t bullshit me like that Sweetheart. So please tell me something; why don’t you command one of your supermodels; these muses, to come here and warm the bed for you. It's a cold night and you seem lonely brah
. \Chirp Chirp**
I opened my eyes, and irritated, pointed menacingly at the bird turning my left hand into an imaginary gun. I had already failed at something today, and wasn’t convinced i needed the memory of the things i failed at before. Not now.
Said nothing.
"No longer care for love unless it's between good friends”. Said to myself. There was certainly a migraine coming, but maybe my dreams would help convince it otherwise. And as far as the hoes were concerned, Furious Angels would be there for them. Like the Rob Dougan song.
4.
Found my own mind after the slumber – asleep, then awake. I realized several hours passed - at least enough to wake up and witness the sun rise above the sea. But as for dreams, the light veil of their memories wasn't something to rely upon. But i did remember something, and it was some overtone in dread; an atmosphere of fear – and a kind of dread sustained in it’s inevitability by the urgency that builds upon dearth.
Now what exactly was it though? I couldn’t remember from my dreams, but ever since i falled to my own death i had always present in mind the future succesion of events that would follow when things started to go very wrong. Iran, the U.S, Israel - now whatever was it in the news; the outcome would be the same. A thousand more cuts to an already languishing economy. Make that corpse bleed, and then fall off a cliff.
As such things would be cooked, just as the bird of britain. The bird was still there though: just in pieces and roasted like the contents of a dropped KFC bucket would. But the little shit would return - as it always did. The economy? Not so much.
Yet i digress. None of the world circumstances mattered as far i was concerned – i had built a small and portable solar system to power my laptop, and my beer supply was well, infinite - i made myself sure that i had my needs covered whatever happened around me. Not tied to even a house for that matter. I incorporated myself and gave my back a stretch. The morning breeze coming from the sea evocated in my memories some time that had long passed – late childhood. I rejected those memories as they beared with them things i didnt wan’t to remember - then wen’t on as usual in my morning routine scrolling through my instagram feed, figuring if there were any new hoes to maybe motivate me into doing my God imposed labour.
Labour which was to either write, or to finish the House of Water — then after scrolling i did in fact saw a new hoe; i dropped a Faux Pas comment. Maybe she would play along, maybe not. Whatever. Sometimes I would put in a lot of effort to do a rhyme. But the effort depended on the insta-hoe in question. I know. Not the best of habits, but back in elementary school i was the kind of kid that would only get motivation when the girls in the classroom were present in physEd. And then i would run faster: whole lotta faster. Run Forrest! Run! Women love used to fuel me; and the habit sticked — and at the moment, i was kinda done with the idea of female trascendence. Would rely on their love, but not on their validation. Not like a simp. Fuck that.
Furthermore, what results did i demonstrably mustered after pursuing true egalitarianism and sharing it? Exactly. A bitch gonna do what a bitch gonna do, and so does the human female. After publishing the comment, I locked my phone and walked towards the highway, as i was planning to pay a visit to somebody long forgotten - I had kind of a schedule that i was going to follow, before taking the plane to Madrid and become hispanic Jon Snow from the walgreens Nightwatch.

— Hearfelt comment for an instagram witch.
Del desprecio a ese descarte, no he visto muchas cosas. Así se pasa una más para las cuentas, y aquí otro más para los versos, por qué aquí no hemos sido vistos. Cuánto más querría uno, que sino lo cuentas ni mucho menos piensas: << lo de este pibe que cosa más horrible>>, haciendo eso lamentable, por qué en decirlo nadie ha mentido. ¡Es horrible! Que cara es entonces la cuenta de lo que le sale a uno vivir sin más complejos; mejor seria cobrarmelo, para así saber que de algo ha valido. Bloqueame.

The Spirit of Fire
Flames begone, flames in spite: their warmth I felt - so I closed my fist until I could feel the warmth of my blood in my hand. And in dreams Fire came up to me and said: who am I? And I said unto him: you are bound to my bidding, thus your name misery will be. But fire wretched as he was, got closer and asked: and who are you?
And I said unto him that the blood of David ran through my veins, as I was his heir; for the mother of God claim me from death as a son. So Fire tried me, and figured it out.
You are son of woman —said Fire unto me— but as Fire acknowledged the name, I extended my left hand, and took Fire by the neck throwing him into the gound. — You are going to lace yourself to the right hand of the beast, and you'll keep him steady, so I can cleanly take him down. And Fire stayed down, and with his forehead kissing the ground asked unto me —why would the heir of David do so to earthly man?
And I said unto Fire that the beast from the abyss had left no mother for God, so I was to leave none of his body left for his head; as I was going to make it bleed until the end of the end of times.
The Spirit of Earth
Shapeless and without body, but keen within her many numbers, Earth came up to me in dreams, and said: who am I? And posessed in spirit as I was, I said unto her, that God had made her maiden again, and that she shall become the coins that Judas never received, which were to become the due payment of man and women for the body of Christ. Then I extended my right hand, and grabbed Earth by her hair —which descended deep into the abysses of hell— and cut it short so the demons of Lilith would no longer had her gripped by her back.
You are now a woman, and I'm going to rise you from the grounds. You'll lace yourself to the left hand of the beast, and keep it steady so with one shot I can cleanly take him down.
The Spirit of Air
A dream shaped by written words, whispered down for years by the currents of this Montain, and it's requiem witnessed but by a few — the end of dreams. But from where I standed at the peak, I called upon the distant currents that went down, and asked them: who am I?
And Air came unto me as bird, which had thousands of letters for feathers, and in the tongue of dead men answered.
"Somebody who only a few will remember by strange deeds; as the burden on your back, is a past tainted by impossible dreams. You were a lunatic giving new names to folk, and folk never bothered to remember —so your name must be freak, as you died in a forgotten shack some short time ago."
And as Air said these things upon me, I called Misery —as I had dubbed Fire — and told him to get inside my shot. The burden as Air had said, became lesser as i took the shot from my quiver. And I said upon Misery; that he was to set ablaze this arrow, as I was taking down the bird of Britain, and that I would do so, so God would give the deeds of Earth some better names.
The Lord is making a bridge between the empire of strength, and the last empire of men. Now by God's grace, I'm making the tongue of free men, the tongue of Spain. You will be eventually bound to my bidding, and if not me, it will be to the one I'm preceding; for I'm giving you twenty years to attone your wrongdoing. Alas, now because of your wretchedness, my shot on earthly men won't be clean, for his left leg won't stay steady.
Your old name was apathy, now I'm calling you Cisma, which in the tongue of dead men means schism. So now by the will of God lay unto the ground and say the words you've been teached. And as the arrow blazed forward, it's bending motion pierced the veil hiding the secret ladder of men. The bird of Britain catched on Fire, and it's hollering resounded throught the ladders of the mountain until the depths of the abyss. A column of air turned into fire, then violenty erupted from the vowels of the bird, and the wild fire spread as a storm from west to east all throughout the five kingdoms of men away from its own fiery wings, with a gift of misery and a few words to say.
"The name of your woman or the name of your man, will no longer explain their purpose to a man, a woman, or God. Charred words written by thunder will now be the new ladder of men — but until then, darkness upon thee."
But the feathers of old words, layed on the ground, for common folk now knew by the light of the storm their meanings — and horrified, they waged war on each other, killing each other, and seeking revenge on each other. Thus the bird of Britain dragged further into the ground, screaming and flapping
The House of Water
I head into the coasts, and the beautiful beaches in-between, to find the stranger who burns images in the skin of men. He is the stranger, and has adopted the body of a monster, and he is one who cannot be understood, so he went on to only go out home in stunts, for the burdens in his heart have become too great to bear. Through terrible pains he has given all he once was for an identity, and as I pick up on his past, i found familiarity in the feelings of his heart. Oh dear friend how we found looking in sadness to ourselves, after doing same but with different means, carrying into our shoulders the loneliness of this world. As you have in-skin the garments of the strange doctrine that I preach — I shall congrate you, for you truly have fought the world entire, for my doctrine is the words of those who shall defeat the world entire.
I may not have your strangeness in-body, but I have it in these words, and in the true feelings of my heart. And I say in admiration that there's no higher form of art, philosophy or religion: than those who perform the highest thing they can give a name about.
Now even within solitude, and at odds with what old dead men call God, I see you and I found strength in you, as I can see you are within me, and in that, you are within everything as it should be - as is meant in everyone who does something that touches the heart of another man. I call this the kingdom of God. Yet blind men and women will wonder how can the kingdom of God possibly be within two outcasts such as you and me.
Upong giving my regards and waiting for response, I found my way into a bench. It was a warm afternoon, and the wind carried the water of the sea. The bird of Britain came about down from the wind of north, and layed on the bench were I was sitting.
The bird asked: why hast thou become this?
And I said back to bird, scorched he was and nearing death, that it was me someone who was supposed to give names, yet for years I couldn't figure out one for myself. Then on went to being given a name, Alas all the wrong ones. Did Adan gave himself a name? - I asked the bird back. And there was no response from bird. Then I continued.
A man has the essence of his soul retained by what he is seen doing. Yet I did things nobody saw, so my soul wasn't with God but with something just as ancient, and nonetheless unknown by men in its true nature — then Satan as the better known devil, came about and pushed me into a hole. It was my own doing. Yet the things I did, I thought were seen. But nonetheless what I did was without contemplation on a posible return. Just as somebody who prints an image on their own skin. It's permanent. This is the essence of a memory in the soul of the man who's seen by others. But in the familiarity of a man who picked every irreversible decision like the Alien, I find myself feeling sympathy, for the man is still not what he has been seen doing, he shall redeem himself by what he decides to turn himself into.
Is this a way of saying that you want to get yourself a tattoo? Get a new look? - the bird mockingly asked.
And I gave the scorched bird no answer.
Then the bird said unto me: what about your career as a prophet, uh? And the things you said about returning with substance? Do you actually think this is substance?
And i considered what the Bird said, then I negated with a movement of my own head. It is not i answered, but i find the memories of me not making sense unbearable. For those mean the memories of a fool, un pendejo, an insane person, or both. And I will always try to amend what I don't do well. But now I wish for only one thing, and it is to be remembered as someone who makes sense, and who out of that sense, made good upon the world. I don't expect anything in return for what I do now, as it is merely an outlet to keep me sane while I finish editing my work. It's clear I'm too incompetent to be a competent influencer. As for once, I don't care about influencing anyone into what I think; but to perform what I think it's important.
Then every proverbial student is free to take classes so as they see fit, and to interpret such classes as their comprehension gives them grasp of what it's said. In such regard, this is what I offer now, while I make the journey to Madrid. And the bird tilted it's head so as to observe me with his left eye, then after a long impasse, it made a loud and painful caw, and finally flew away. Soon after the bird flew, I looked upon the stars in the nascent night, and confessed to them, that it was the memories of who we were, what often stumps us into wrong beliefs of who we should be, maybe even wasting an entire lifetime retained by that which other people remembered us as being. But we are not the owners of our own names, the place we go, and our destiny. That's the biggest lie the western world of hollywood heros tell you, as in truth is collective agreement what determines what we look like doing and thus the meaning we should comfort to, recalling that names are practical mechanisms to remember the purpose of things, their meaning, and how their motion is described in the world.
But making the task of beating that collective belief, akin to the Nietzschean ideal of the camel turning into the lion, so as to transform it's spirit and become something else. But if it's the golden dragon of all the huamn values which judges you insane, will you be prepared to wrestle with the entire culture so as to have your way?
As I layed my eyes upon each star counting up to the number seventeen, I confessed of being scared of those beliefs, as revisiting the past, became a painful deed — and as I prepared to leave, I uttered one wish on the seventeenth point in the sky.
Lord please grant me strength, the way you have given my friend strenght.
2.
The night deepen, while the sea tide sang its own song of breathing. Some time passed, and then on the stranger showed himself approaching at the distance. I waved my hand at him, and after the instant, he found his way into my bench while I welcomed him with an extended fist which he casually bumped - after the short acknowledgement the dark alien looked at my face in between it's cover of dark, and looking at it undiscernable in its true features, with suspicion asked.
— What is it that you want?
I acknowledged him as a friend, then mentioned my brief research, as I had come to know him as man looking for a job, yet nobody would hire for things mundane due to his appearance. I listened closely to the news, and came to understand that this was a man looking for a second chance.Then I saw the intent behind his doing, and two words came to stick to my own thoughts. The first one was <
In analytical psychology I figured this man was the ESFP —the personality archetype related to the performer and the entertainer—, possessed in an abnormal way by the spirit by which a person submits to it's contrary nature, seeking to integrate and find fulfillment through the chase of what's perceived absent. If he was the ESFP then doing the flip by following the radial axis of each Jungian function in the stack towards their opposite resulted in the INTJ. The mastermind. The architect. The genius yet awfully complex individual. That was the elusive spirit he was chasing.
But a spirit and a character that at its most pronounced embodiment in a person, would experience life as an eternal foreigner hiding from the light of other men. Such made sense to me, for I myself was the INTJ, and had at spirit the ESFP. Him. So where as this man chased the spiritual fulfillment of being a complex and deep individual, I chased the fulfillment of becoming simpler, so I could demonstrate with action the deepest desires of my heart. One who was born plentiful in means to be liked, becomes complex, mysterious and uncomprehended, meeting one who will be seen trying to make sense becoming simpler. For Carl Jung portrayed the anima and animus of individuals, as the sense of what its absent, yet deeply cherished an valued. So I said these things to the alien, while he silently listened to me.
— All of that sounds like bullshit to me. -Said the alien after some contemplation .— Sorry but the things you say, don't mean anything to me.
And alas for I expected such response, as if one thing was true about this journey, was that explaining the journey in and of itself would become it's grimmest task. I affirmated what he just said with a slight nod of head.
— These things I say and how they relate to each other, in its excercise are similar to doing stecheometric balance with equations in the head, but simpler I'm afraid. - Then I paused, looked back into the sea, and continued. — That's high school chemistry, but I don't expect everybody to pick up on it, nor like it, nor understand it.
— Now i have called you a friend, and where I came from we dub with this title the people we share destiny with. As far as I'm concerned, we are chasing the same thing, which is the hardest posible thing. We both innately understand that we are not home, as we want our spirit to return to us, and that's not what a lot of people ever honestly try to attempt in a lifetime; as such is anyone's call to feel complete.
— And very few people ever reach true individuality, beyond the name they are imposed at birth.
Then I looked into the black alien, and in-between his foreign facial features, I interpreted something familiar. Disturbance. And I continued.
— We have given ourselves hell as we lived chasing something hard, so we can avoid the same hell later on when we are finally back to our own house. This is a christian precept, altought a rundimentary one. Does that makes sense to you?
And after listening such, the black alien calmly looked at the veil in my face in silence. Trying to discern what my face actually looked like, but the night was dark. Then turned his stare back to the reflection of the moon over the waters, giving some thought to what I just said. I opened up my backpack, and drawed two cans of beer from it. Offered one to him, and he silently refused with a gesture of hand. I popped my can and gave it a sip, while I myself stared at the tides coming in and out of the shore.
— If you wan't a tattoo, we can work that out. But this sounds annoyingly familiar, and my interest is not religious. Are you religious?
I nodded in affirmation, and complemented saying. — But my doctrine is something nobody has heard nor seen. For its aim, is doing as Christ said, in perfect means. Yet its true that the teaching fits you, as it's the teaching of the future man; and there's nothing in common between the current man and the future man, as they may very well be different species. This is the precept of evolution.
The alien seemed surprised.
— These two men don't know each other, for the current man doesn't know where the future man comes from, for he himself doesn't know where he is going. Yet in deep realization of your own artistic concept, I think you might want new ideas to meet with your appearance. So tell me, are you curious about what truly happens to a man after he dies? Do you want to learn how to read someone's mind? Do you want to blast with words of fire the hearts of an amazed crowd?
But the black alien broke his calm contemplation of what I was saying, and slighty disturbed, aggressively rebuked after hearing such.
— But you mentioned 'Christ', so you must be christian. How can a christian even say anything interesting in this current time? Last time I asked, their sayings were dreaded by restriction - so why would anyone condemn themselves to a life of bore? Are you a christian?
And I nodded after the question, in silence. Admittedly, for I knew what the problem was with being what I was, and my new companion was bang on identifying it. Made a pause, then raised my sight to where it met with the sky and the stars in it, and I said back to him.
— I am, but not one of a type you have ever seen, for the Christ that comes, is a Christ of art.
2.
The riptide sang, in its secret dialect of earth and sea. I looked upon the coast, turned an eye blind, and saw the ocean as the scorpio, and the land as the taurus; as it was the struggle between two lovers, never meant to consume each other. Ideal love then - yet not to confuse with this partnership as it was whimsilcally tied by the means in which i arranged my current conversation; for my lady somewhere waited for me. Then i allowed my eyes to rest still.
The alien looked upon me, undiscernable in my intentions, and again figured for himself that my interest towards him wasn’t clear. In suspicion, and after the moment he collected his thoughts asked “In your weird words you dubbed me performer, so what is it exactly that you wan’t from me. To me it seems like you are gathering people for some form of religious clown show. When you forced this meeting upon me, was this a proposal you thought i would find amusement in?”. And after the statement my own stare wandered in my conversation partner. While as he had his say, i returned to my can of beer, and finished it with a long gulp. Tempered in an unwillingness to fall to my new found friend irritation, i said within my own thoughts: “The alien looks easy going, but he is barbed in wit”.
Then i opened the can of beer that the stranger rejected; the loud pop resounded in the relative silence, interrupting for a moment the steady chorus of the sea. Gave it a long sip, and said.
– Theres no proposal in place yet. But im certain of something, and that is that both of us are messed individuals which reached the bottom doing the same thing - but the way my understandment of the human soul goes: two people can act by mere interaction as reactives to each other, creating a new chemical compound after the fact.
– This new psychology is very much like chemistry. But it is not my intention to draw you into something, but to pull myself out of this «something» by doing right on another person and maybe that person reflecting the good back on me. I just need a conversation partner, thats all. And i will do this with you, and with many people more. Presidents included.
The alien reflected on it, and after the hiatus of a long standing position of suspicion he finally gave in, and eased up with a slight smile. A strange smile of relief. But the smile, was all too familiar for me, as i realized the man was a tortured individual: a person in long standing pain. I smiled back the way he did, and continued.
– Our pain has a common name, and is a name that can be written with words unfortunately. It’s the devilish mother of all spiritual ills and its foundation, rests at the concept of a past that wasnt solved. It’s called «inadequeacy», and for people like you and me, understanding one day that such inadecuacy had to be solved by our own means, lead us into an act where our name changed as the changes in our cover up act to solve our inadequacy did.
– We never honored the past or the present in our pursuit, as we desired in passion to find solution to the present, by matching it into the idealization of some future without ever realizing that the old or present essence of ones being would be crushed into non existance by said future.
– Then we found the realization of that new name, only to understand that its demands became a tyranny on the other faces of our soul: as our soul is not something that can be undestood in unity, but something that conceives in the beginning in multiple things which try to give shape to one thing. Theres many people in a village, and our minds, are no exception.
— But happiness is only achieved by those who have their soul entire - or those who are the same person regardless of the context and scenario. And we gave to much to somebody that wasn't us, as our spirit took possession and lead us down.
– This is this the essence by which someone goes to hell, only to do one thing over again, getting an ever lasting pain for all the things that were given up chasing that which was absent. The more someone is forced into being shaped by the thing that was concevied in lust, the more the individual misses the place they used to call home, for that is no longer within ones reach. Does this makes sense to you?
The alien left me with no answer, and as he contemplated the sea, a tear travelled through his strange face.
– In this state of anguish, affliction rarely ever feels company, as the very individual condition that was pursued, became a full suit and persona to be forced upon and wear. Hell, is one lonely place man because we only learn to speak a language, that only makes sense to ourselves. But i think we can find a way out of it. This is why I'm here.
“Look, what you’ve done, it’s not something i can see the way you can see my own doing on me.” The alien replied. “Besides the way in which i canno’t see your face in this night, you seem ordinary — but what you talk and the way you say it, evokes in every word regret. What is it that you’ve done that has you regret like this?”
As the alien finished speaking, I emptied the can of beer, layed my eyes on the irregular grooves that my feet had left on the sand, and then replied back to him, after making a recap of the story i had repeatedly told myself after falling down.
“My story, is the fairy tale of a guy who makes way for the new coming of a new man; a better man for the world, while he casts disarray upon the earth: much to his dismay, at the expense of his own soul as the people who become victims of disasters, were ones who this man deemed unfair; cruel, evil, despicable in past. That was at the beginning."
"Theres a pile of corpses behind that character — even in covid time, people as close as the local priest of the small town he lived in, would break their neck after falling in the shower, as he had the slightest suspicion of their secret deeds. All clean deads for that matter. Untraceable to nothing but sheer randomness. Magic as it seeems. But were this folk truly evil people or even guilty of anything? You may ask - the man never knew it for sure, as he never had faculties such as godly omniscience to actually know it; which has taken a toll on him, as the burden of justice is an unberable one for anything but a god."
"Which leads to another point: spontaneously picturing random numbers in the head, associating them with psychological compounds by angular momentum, and actually being bang on the suspicion. Truth friend, in its stochastic presentation: it's unberable.”
“Consequential of such attempts to rationalize his own story in the eyes of people such as close family, my dude became clinically diagnosed with referenced thinking. Which are fancy words for schizophrenia. Nobody believed the story as it was uttered."
"Yet the consequences are there for everyone to see, altought not visible in their cause and effect by anybody but this guy, which lead him first into regret over ever starting his quest as a reformer; and then repent.”
“Now before he realized of this lets call it «curse», he preached for years over the internet as the disasters started to slowly creep up. He preached in a fashion parallel to Niestzches Zarathustra; Zarathustra meaning a famous philosophical device artificied by the philosopher Niestzche, who’s aim was to portray the best posible man, as something he dubbed the <<Übermensch>> ”.
“Such concept being the seemingly more elegant brand of a humanist ideal for a not so distant future: today - albeit a wrong one, for this guy was not dyonisian himself. The backbone of his framework, is analytical psycholgy becoming a chariot for a true understandment of human nature: and ultimately a facilitator for love within light: not within ignorance; not within darkness. Most philosophers today though would mock anything analytical in it's aim."
"Then on the guy preached and dwelved further into the relative hole of his own doctrine: and became imprisoned by what he didn’t got right at first attempt, making him in the process the character that Nietzsche from the comfort of his own writers seat, never attempted to actually embody within realistic means: eventually figuring out within himself the ultimate Nietzschean aristocrat: a magic pen granted by being capetian by mother: from judah by father."
"But Alas, you have no idea how common suicide is within philosophers after they finish their best work. As language, becomes the ultimate barrier for understandment, and then to ones capacity to feel love. Difference — true saliency in ones individual destiny— leads to the gravest posible pain. Ironic isn’t it?”
“Besides technical work with a new form of psychology inspired by analytical chemistry, as that drawed from his efforts during the light of day, five years ago, once he felt the urge to try to reach out to the world from a position of what he deemed was greater understandment: he primitively preached during night his new set of ideas for people to behave beyond the limitations of manipulative psychology, albeit a harsh doctrine meant to clear the way for a better product: Christ himself."
"This is not a doctrine a human being can actually perform, as such its christianity at its highest capacity to bear fruit. It’s an impossible doctrine, yet solves the oldest problem posed in the bible. All which sounds very sci-fi bullshit-y but actual problems started for the protagonist in this tale, when the preaching matched with terrible consequences. Not figurative, but within tangible reality.”
“So just as we talk, theres a small legion of hackers pretending to be doing internet social experiments while talking in an artsy matter: much in my own style, entertaining the exact same concepts - a legion of dangerous monkeys, i have no control over."
"One of the many unexpected consequences being this, yet prompted by something evil; ancient: essentially replicating what my protagonist developed and then preached over the years, while these "hacktivists" lay their attention on things and people, as they select them and enforce upon them strict surveillance, to behave properly. Then to destroy them, as they did in 2020 with many corporations and institutions.A bizarre combination of theater actors to my own liking, and then cyber-security demigods: omniscient in their claims to surveill, and they are - derivative such of another device of what I've done; which is to build a theater so people can make-believe that they are infact performing within themselves something greater - but that's matter for another story."
“Most of the corpses piling up flat out dead, have no relation to him whatsoever; they became victims as my protagonist took measures to fight back the monster he found at the foundation of the known world. This is not an elaborate analogy for one's own unseen capacity for evil, as i mean this: a monster as literally as it can be. For these things friend, im doomed as in true strenght, i have nothing but the pen i use to write down what i think albeit always at danger of it’s eventual inversion. I have no real friends left. Not one who can understand, or help bear the pain: as friendship and love are all gated by understandment."
"The full story has many more vertients, but i think i’ve done it enough justice. This is the predicament of an insane man chased by his own shadow as he builds a better man: one who delivers heavenly things, and then a shadow stringed to deliver tyranny as the very strings behind him make the better man stumble while he tries to keep a grasp of his own spirit, and then of his own soul."
"That monster behind, is wicked smart — and cannot be outwitted nor overpowered but anything but divine smite."
“I’m heading now to a new country, to try to get friends from the only institution in the world who knows and adresses the current times being, and who by extension, might believe me. And to clarify, these being the end of times; but not the end of the world. Yet now i myself have a damocles sword pending over my own head, and i need to do something about it before it falls.”
And as i said these things, i reached out to my backpack drawing a third can of beer from it — besides my own super laptop, thats what my backpack had: an infinite supply of beer. Corona, Indio, Victoria, Dos Equis, Heineken; you name it. I popped the can, and gave it a long and definite sip as i emptied it complete.
The alien didn't try to show that he understood, but stood still in silence, with his sight in the sand below and pressing lips, knowing by my demeanor; that these things as I've said them was something that I needed to do. Then he said: "I don't follow man. You say you preach and then disasters occur. Like a prophet from the bible?"
"Yes. Then I preached to get rid of the things that are actually making the world worse, and something awoke soon after, and since then; everything I do is subject to being misinterpreted due to the diffamatory action of this thing. Now everytime I do something, it can be twisted and turned against my original intent. Right now the hackers are my worst problem: I may have a degree in computers but I have no fucking idea whatsoever of hacking. I earn my living as an A.I engineer.".
The alien raised his sight to meet with mine, and after doing some contemplation on the fact, quite simply said: "You are insane". Then lowered his own sight, and raised it again to meet with the sea and continued. "If you want a tattoo, we can work that out. But either way and whatever parts of your story are true and even worse; the ones you may be lying about: you sound dangerous in a delusional kind of sense, and my life is hard enough as is."
I pressed my fists, knowing then the old same thing had happened again. For I had never forced anything upon anybody, and I was willing to respect that until the bitter end. Then I released the build up of frustration with a loud sigh, and after this amend, I replied back.
"I understand and respect it. But let me just propose you that if you ever want to figure what is beyond life as it's lived by person who has never seen what is like to be someone you write a great story about; you can pin me, and I'll show you what's beyond that door. Give it some thought."
The alien; The Black Alien Project stayed there sitting, spechless but calm, almost expecting something else to be convinced about. But pointless, for i knew that nobody can be forced into anything without bringing a transgression into play – and i wasn’t one to taint myself in sin if it could be avoided. Not anymore.
3.
I made the distance at steady pace walking along the shore, until i found a small group of pines in-between the liminal space of the beach and the land. I sat with one of the pines trunk behind my back, and drawed the Schizo Pills from my eternal supply of traveller goodies.
Quetiapine 100 mg, and Olanzapine 10 mg, i made a smaller fragment from the olanzapine pill, and swallowed both complete. As their side effects were concerned, they would soon knock me out of conscience, as this little ritual was my own way of calling the day complete – then i layed there, vigilant, waiting for my own drowsiness to claim me into sleep - but the Bird of Britan came flying from above, and stood besides me.
\Chirp, Chirp, Chirp**
I watched the bird, annoyed, as its presence had become an omen for contempt. For me and the death people of my past. I frowned upon the little shit, and said nothing. The bird made a little nod, while tilting its head in excentricity the way birds do, and replied. — Hey Andrew!, do you remember when you tried to penetrate your own computer to make a universe grow inside of it? I just wan’t to know something: did your computer moan? Did it finally learnt how to scream your name?
\Chirp Chirp**
Ignoring the bird, i closed my eyes and stayed like that for a long moment, hoping to make the bird think i was asleep. Maybe that would make him leave.
— Can’t bullshit me like that Sweetheart. So please tell me something; why don’t you command one of your supermodels; these muses, to come here and warm the bed for you. It's a cold night and you seem lonely brah
. \Chirp Chirp**
I opened my eyes, and irritated, pointed menacingly at the bird turning my left hand into an imaginary gun. I had already failed at something today, and wasn’t convinced i needed the memory of the things i failed at before. Not now.
- Hol’ up cowboy ! you wan’t to bang my bird ass when you should be banging a bitch ass. What happened with Tyrone huckleberry? Did you managed to make him as impotent as you are right now? —I held steady my hand; and tired, the tempation to pull again the trigger on the bird was growing larger. I saw red roses in my own sight, making a terrible omen for a migraine forthcoming. Said nothing.
Said nothing.
- Alright cowboy, i will give meaning to that revelations verse. What was it? Ah yes. Revelations 9:6. Every single person with an internet history will be as paranoid as you were in 2020. Everyone will be diffamated into acts of political terrorism! Aren’t you am-
"No longer care for love unless it's between good friends”. Said to myself. There was certainly a migraine coming, but maybe my dreams would help convince it otherwise. And as far as the hoes were concerned, Furious Angels would be there for them. Like the Rob Dougan song.
4.
Found my own mind after the slumber – asleep, then awake. I realized several hours passed - at least enough to wake up and witness the sun rise above the sea. But as for dreams, the light veil of their memories wasn't something to rely upon. But i did remember something, and it was some overtone in dread; an atmosphere of fear – and a kind of dread sustained in it’s inevitability by the urgency that builds upon dearth.
Now what exactly was it though? I couldn’t remember from my dreams, but ever since i falled to my own death i had always present in mind the future succesion of events that would follow when things started to go very wrong. Iran, the U.S, Israel - now whatever was it in the news; the outcome would be the same. A thousand more cuts to an already languishing economy. Make that corpse bleed, and then fall off a cliff.
As such things would be cooked, just as the bird of britain. The bird was still there though: just in pieces and roasted like the contents of a dropped KFC bucket would. But the little shit would return - as it always did. The economy? Not so much.
Yet i digress. None of the world circumstances mattered as far i was concerned – i had built a small and portable solar system to power my laptop, and my beer supply was well, infinite - i made myself sure that i had my needs covered whatever happened around me. Not tied to even a house for that matter. I incorporated myself and gave my back a stretch. The morning breeze coming from the sea evocated in my memories some time that had long passed – late childhood. I rejected those memories as they beared with them things i didnt wan’t to remember - then wen’t on as usual in my morning routine scrolling through my instagram feed, figuring if there were any new hoes to maybe motivate me into doing my God imposed labour.
Labour which was to either write, or to finish the House of Water — then after scrolling i did in fact saw a new hoe; i dropped a Faux Pas comment. Maybe she would play along, maybe not. Whatever. Sometimes I would put in a lot of effort to do a rhyme. But the effort depended on the insta-hoe in question. I know. Not the best of habits, but back in elementary school i was the kind of kid that would only get motivation when the girls in the classroom were present in physEd. And then i would run faster: whole lotta faster. Run Forrest! Run! Women love used to fuel me; and the habit sticked — and at the moment, i was kinda done with the idea of female trascendence. Would rely on their love, but not on their validation. Not like a simp. Fuck that.
Furthermore, what results did i demonstrably mustered after pursuing true egalitarianism and sharing it? Exactly. A bitch gonna do what a bitch gonna do, and so does the human female. After publishing the comment, I locked my phone and walked towards the highway, as i was planning to pay a visit to somebody long forgotten - I had kind of a schedule that i was going to follow, before taking the plane to Madrid and become hispanic Jon Snow from the walgreens Nightwatch.
2024.05.15 17:23 very-original-user ثِتونج ځوېٓسِنہ ⟨th'Tundj Gwýsene⟩ — How Did We Get Here?
=BACKGROUND=
Gwýsene ⟪ثِتونج ځوېٓسِنہ⟫ ⟨th'Tundj Gwýsene⟩ /θɛˈtund͡ʒ ˈʝyːzɛnɛ/ (or "the least Germanic Germanic language") is a Germanic language descendant from Old English spoken in Nabataea (modern-day Jordan, Sinai, and northwestern Saudi Arabia). It takes place in a timeline where the Anglo-Saxons get kicked out of Britain by the Celts, therefore they sail all the way to Nabataea (I pride myself on my realism here) and settle there. Most of them eventually convert to Islam, and, as a consequence, Arabic becomes elevated to the language of academia, nobility, and poetry."English" as we know it still survives in-timeline as Englisc — basically Middle English with some modifications — spoken as a minority language in southeastern Britain (or Pritani as the Celts call it in-world).
==ETYMOLOGY OF GWÝSENE==
⟨Gwýsene⟩ ⟪ځوېٓسِنہ⟫ is derived from ځوېٓسِن (Gwýsen) + ـہ- (-e, adjectival suffix), the former from Middle Gwýsene جِٔويسّمَن (ɣewissman), a fossilization of جِٔويسّ (ɣewiss, "Geuisse") + مُن (mon, "man"), from Old Gwýsene יוש מן (yws mn, yewisse monn), from Old English Ġewisse monn.
⟨Tundj⟩ ⟪تونج⟫ is loaned from an Arabized pronunciation of Old Gwýsene תנג (tng, tunge) (from which descends the doublet ⟨Togg⟩ ⟪تُځّ⟫ /toɣ(ː)/, "tongue")
The Englisc exonym is ⟨Eizmenasisc⟩ /ɛjzmɛˈnaːsɪʃ/, From Brithonech (in-world Conlang) Euuzmenasech /ˈøʏzmə̃næsɛx/, from Middle French Yœssmanes /ˈjœssmanɛs/ (hence modern in-world French Yœssmanes /jœsman/ and Aquitanian (in-world) ⟨Yissmanes⟩ /ˈiːsmans/), from Middle (High) German \jewissmaneisch (hence modern in-world German *Jewissmännisch** /jəˌvɪsˈmɛnɪʃ/, Saxon Jewissmannisch /jɛˌvɪsˈma.nɪʃ/, and Hollandish Iweesmanis /iˈʋeːsmanɪs/), Ultimately from Middle Gwýsene جِٔويسّمَن (ɣewissman). Doublet of Englisc ⟨iwis mon⟩ /ɪˈwɪs mɔn/ + ⟨-isc⟩ /-ɪʃ/

Gwýsene has 4 main dialect groupings:
1- Southern Dialects
Spoken around in-world Áglästrélz /ˈɑːɣɫɐˌstɾeːɫz/ [ˈɑːʁɫ(ə)ˌsd̥ɾeːɫz]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
- /Vm/ /Vn/ /Vɫ/ as syllabic [N̩] [ɫ̩]
- /ɹ~ɻ/ as [ɰ] in non-rhotic accents
- /w/ as [ɥ] near front vowels
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [pʰ] [tʰ] [kʰ]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [b̥] [d̥] [g̊] word-internally
- /ɛ/ /ɐ/ as [ə]
2- Central Dialects
Spoken around in-world Keü-Nüvátra /keʏ ˌnʏˈvɑːtɾɐ/ [kɛɨ ˌnɨˈvɒːtɾɐ]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
- /ç/ /ʝ/ as [h] [j]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [pʰ] [tʰ] [kʰ]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [p˭] [t˭] [k˭] word-internally
- /Vɹ/ /Vːɹ/ as [Vʴ] [Vʴːɹ]
- /ʏ/ /y/ /yː/ as [ɨ] [ʉ] [ʉː]
- /u/ as [ɯ] (though not that common)
- stressed /e/ /ø/ /o/ as [ɛ] [œ] [ɔ]
- /ɑ/ /ɑː/ as [ɒ] [ɒː]
- /æ/ /æː/ as [ä] [äː]
3- Western Dialects
Spoken in in-world Ettúr /ɛtˈtuːɻ/ [ətˈtuːɽ]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
- /ç/ /ʝ/ as [x] [ɣ]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [p˭] [t˭] [k˭]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [b] [d] [g] word-internally
- /b/ /d/ as [β̞] [ð̞] word-internally, instead of /v/ /z/
- /ɹ~ɻ/ as [ɾ~ɽ]
- stressed /e/ /ø/ /o/ as [ɛ] [œ] [ɔ]
- unstressed /e/ /ø/ /o/ as [ə] [œ] [ə]
- /eː/ /øː/ /oː/ as [ɛː] [œː] [ɔː]
Spoken in in-world Ämma̋n /ɐmˈmæːn/ [(ʕ)ɐmˈmæːn]. Speakers of these dialects tend to pronounce:
- /ç/ /ʝ/ as [h] [j]
- /ɫ/ as [l]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [p˭] [t˭] [k˭]
- /p/ /t/ /k/ as [b] [d] [g] word-internally
- /b/ /d/ as [b] [d] word-internally, instead of /v/ /z/
- /ɹ~ɻ/ as [ɾ~ɽ]
- /Vɹ/ as [Vː], or [Vɾ] in rhotic accents
- /Vːɹ/ as [Vːː] or [Vː], or [Vːɾ] in rhotic accents
- /ʏ/ /y/ /yː/ as [ɨ] [ɨ] [ɨː]
- /ø/ /øː/ as [ə] [əː] or [ɵ] [ɵː]
- /ɑ/ /ɑː/ as [ä] [äː]
The differing analyses of the Old English sequences /xe͜o xæ͜ɑ/ & /je͜o jæ͜ɑ/ when the change from /e͜o æ͜ɑ/ to /iɔ̯ iɐ̯/ was taking place led to:
- In the south, /i/ was elided into the palatal /ç/ /ʝ/, yielding Modern Southern [χɑ xæ] [ʁɑ ɣæ]
- In the (at the time) North, /i/ was fully pronounced, yielding Modern Central [heː] [jeː]
- [ˈχɑvɱ̩] & [ˈʁɑvɱ̩] in Southern dialects. Used natively in the south and the west and were adopted as the standard forms /ˈxɑvɐn/ & /ˈɣɑvɐn/
- [ˈheːvɐn] & [ˈjeːvɐn] in the Central dialects. Used natively in the center and north and considered nonstandard.
=ORTHOGRAPHY=
Gýsene uses the Arabic script natively alongside a romanization==SCRIPT BACKGROUND==
Since Gýsen use of the Nabataean & then Arabic script preceded the Persians by centuries, the Gýsen Arabic script differs quite a bit from the Indo-Persian system:
- Rasm: Gýsens writing in Nabataean (& carrying over to Arabic) tended to follow Aramaic & Hebrew convention for representing consonants, while the Persian convention was derived from the most similar sounding preexisting Arabic consonants, leading to drastic differences in pointing convention (i‘jām). As Islam spread, the 2 conventions spread in their respective halves of the Muslim World: The Indo-Persian-Derived Eastern convention, and the Gýsen-Derived Western convention:
| (Loose) Consonant ↓ | Western ↓ | Eastern ↓ |
|---|---|---|
| //v// | ⟪پ⟫ | ⟪و⟫ ǀ ⟪ڤ⟫ |
| //tʃ// | ⟪ڝ⟫ | ⟪چ⟫ |
| //p// | ⟪ڢ⟫ | ⟪پ⟫ |
| //f// | ⟪ڧ⟫ | ⟪ف⟫ |
- Vowel Notation: The western convention has a definitive way of expressing vowels when diacritics are fully written, while in the eastern convention diacritics often serve dual-duty due to limitations of Arabic short vowel diacritics.

=GRAMMAR=
Gwýsen grammar is extremely divergent from the Germanic norm, having been brought about by extremely harsh standardization efforts by the ruling class while backed by academia & scholars. It's heavily influenced by Arabic — being the encompassing liturgical, academic, and aristocratic language during the Middle to Early Modern Gwýsen periods.==PRONOUNS==
\this entire segment will use the romanization only]) The Pronouns themselves have remained relatively true to their Germanic origins, apart from the entire set of Arabic 3rd person pronouns & the genitive enclitics. Gwýsene still retains the Old English dual forms, but they're only used in formal writing:
| 1st Person | Singular | Dual | Plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominative | ih /iç/ | wi /wi/ | wi /wi/ |
| Accusative | mih /miç/ | án /ɑːn/ | ós /oːs/ |
| Standalone Genitive | min /min/ | ág /ɑːɣ/ | ór /oːɹ/ |
| Enclitic Genitive | -min /-mɪn/ | -ag /-ɐɣ/ | -or /-ɔɹ/ |

| Standalone Genitive | thin /θin/ | ig /iʝ/ | iwar /ˈiwɐɹ/ |
| Enclitic Genitive | -thin /-θɪn/ | -ig /-ɪʝ/ | -iwar /-ɪwɐɹ/ |

| Enclitic Genitive | -hir /-çɪɹ/ | -chana /-xɐnɐ/ | -chan /-xɐn/ |
Middle Gwýsene inherited the Old English nominal declension, but due to merging & reduction of (final) unstressed vowels, all endlings were dropped except for the accusative & dative plurals which were later generalized. Middle Gwýsene also dropped the neuter gender, merging it with the masculine & feminine genders based on endings
| Regular Noun Declension | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Masculine | - | -an /-ɐn/ |
| Feminine | - | -as /-ɐs/ |
| "Man" (man) ǀ "Bách" (book) | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Masculine | man /mɑn/ | menan /ˈmenɐn/ |
| Feminine | bách /bɑːx/ | bitjas /ˈbit͡ʃɐs/ |
| "Tjylz" (child) ǀ "Chänz" (hand) | Singular | (Standard) Plural | (Common) Plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| Masculine | tjylz /t͡ʃyɫz/ | tjylzan /ˈt͡ʃyɫzɐn/ | tjylro /ˈt͡ʃyɫɾɔ/ |
| Feminine | chänz /xænz/ | chänzas /ˈxænzɐs/ | chänza /ˈxænzɐ/ |
Gwýsene has two distinct methods of indicating possession dur to the dropping of the genitive case:
1. A loaned version of the Arabic construct state (present in the standard language, urban areas, and most of the Northern and Western dialects). the Arabic definite article (-الـ) was loaned with its use in the construct state into Late Early Modern Gwýsene as a separate "letter form" [-لٔـ] and prescribed by Grammarians ever since as a "genitive" maker. This method also assumes definiteness of the noun it's prefixed to; it must be prefixed to eneg ("any") for indefinite nouns.
Bách 'lgörel /bɑːχ‿ɫ̩ˈʝøɹɛɫ/ ("the boy's book")
bách 'l - görel book ɢᴇɴ.ᴅғ - boy2. Use of a prefixed fär (equivalent to English "of", cognate with English "for") (present in rural areas and is generally viewed as a rural or "Bedouin" feature). This method does not assume definiteness, and a definite article is required.
Bách färth'görel /bɑːχ ˌfɐɹðəˈʝøɹɛɫ/ ("the boy's book")
Bách fär - th' - görel book of - ᴅғ - boy==ADJECTIVES==
Much like Nouns, adjectives decline for number and gender:
| Regular Adjective Declension | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Masculine | - | -an /-ɐn/ |
| Feminine | -e /-ɛ/* | -as /-ɐs/ |
==VERBS==
Gwýsen verbs are the most mangled, both by Arabization and regular phonological development. Gwýsen word order is VSO. Due to pronouns coming after the verb, they merged with the preexisting endings and formed unique endings that were later generalized to standard verb declension (rendering Gwýsene a pro-drop language)

As a consequence to the fusional suffixes, the preterite suffixes completely merged with the present ones, so weak verbs need an auxiliary to indicate simple past, which segways us to-

2024.05.15 11:34 Kinboise Chrambi Sound Changes, Tonogenesis and More
In my last post about reverse liaison I drafted up the Chrambi language. Here's more about it.
Modern Chrambi descended from Old Chrambi, descended from Proto-Gidung. Proto-Gidung is a non-tonal language with a sesquisyllabic structure (CV)CV(C), and is ancestral to Chrambi, Kyeng and Zjeng languages. The minor syllable develops into a initial cluster in Old Chrambi, making it monosyllabic. Modern Chrambi is tonal, and does not allow initial clusters. Chrambi is written in Simliengx Small Script, and the orthography reflects Old Chrambi pronunciation. The word ‘Chrambi’ originally means ‘the real’.
Since the sound change list will be long, I'll present some examples first:

2024.05.14 03:30 Soggy_Memes Thoughts on my quite divergent North Germanic conlang, Avetåålska
I misspelled it on the title. My bad. Its Avetåålskå.
Hello, or, as one would say in my conlang, Hållo! My conlang, Avetååskå /ɑʋɛtʊːlskʊ/, known in Norwegian as Elvsnakke and is often referred to as Finnmark Norse, because it is spoken in the northernmost region of Norway, Finnmark, as well as parts of Finland, Sweden, and Russia.
It is a North Germanic language of the Western branch, closely related to Norwegian, wiah heavy influence in its grammar and phonology from the Sámi languages, Kven, and Finnish, due to its proximity and some shared culture between the groups.
To characterize its typology and features generally, it retains a number of archaic roots that Norwegian lacks, and, when compared to the Germanic languages as a whole, is considerably more agglutinative and grammatically divergent, with a lot of grammatical features unique to the language and others borrowed from Finnish.
Here is the phonology of the language, excluding those created by allophones:
Here is a generally unacademic/chill/casual description of the allophony/mutation system in Avetåålskå. Note that the mutations, such as the nasal palatalization or voiced plosive lenition, are not written in the spelling system but are exclusively pronounced, with the exception of gemination, which is written:
Now, I haven't quite figured out how these sounds would evolve from Old Norse, but I based them mostly off Norwegian and Finnish, which would fit the area and the history I have in mind.
Now, let's look at a short paragraph in the language and compare it with the same paragraph in English, Norwegian, and Finnish. Please note that I am not fluent in Finnish, though I have been studying it for several years, and I am definitely not fluent in Norwegian, so be aware that the excerpts from those two languages, Norwegian in particular, are likely to be messy. I'm also not entirely finished with the language either, so this is kind of a rough format and I aim for it to be more naturalistic over time.
English: The language of Finnmark is widely regarded to be very beautiful, often considered to be like the beauty of the land itself. Unfortunately, however, there are not many speakers left, as overtime assimilation into surrounding cultures and language opression have left the native speakers scattered and isolated. But, like many minority languages, there is enough of a revival movement to give hope for the languages survival in the future.
Norwegian: Språket i Finnmark er allment ansett for å være veldig vakkert, ofte ansett for å være som skjønnheten i selve landet. Dessverre er det imidlertid ikke mange foredragsholdere igjen, ettersom overtidsassimilering i omkringliggende kulturer og språkundertrykkelse har gjort morsmålene spredt og isolert. Men, som mange minoritetsspråk, er det nok av en vekkelsesbevegelse til å gi håp for språkets overlevelse i fremtiden.
Finnish: Finnmarkin kieltä pidetään laajalti erittäin kauniina, usein myös itse maan kauneudena. Valitettavasti puhujia ei ole enää montaa jäljellä, sillä ylityöllinen assimilaatio ympäröiviin kulttuureihin ja kielten sorro ovat jättäneet äidinkielenään puhujat hajallaan ja eristyksissä. Mutta kuten monien vähemmistökielten, herätysliikettä on riittävästi antamaan toivoa kielten selviytymisestä tulevaisuudessa.

Here is the phonology of the language, excluding those created by allophones:
- Nasals: m n ŋ
- Stops: p b t d k g
- Fricatives: f s ʂ ç ʝ x h
- Affricates: ʦ ʈ͡ʂ
- Approximants: ʋ l j
- Trill: r
- Vowels: ɑ ɛ ø i y ʉ ɨ ɔ o ʊ
Here is a generally unacademic/chill/casual description of the allophony/mutation system in Avetåålskå. Note that the mutations, such as the nasal palatalization or voiced plosive lenition, are not written in the spelling system but are exclusively pronounced, with the exception of gemination, which is written:
- All voiced plosives lenite to their fricative form intervocalically, when geminated, and in word-final position
- d = ð, b = β, g = ɣ
- ɔ = o when long, word-initial, or word-final
- ɨ = i when long, word-final, or stressed
at the end of the word = schwa - the ng combination always is realized as ŋ, no exceptions as the g and the alveolar nasals are not allowed together
- Nasals before ç & ʝ palatalize, as does the nasal + j cluster
- n= ɲ, ŋ = ŋʲ, m = mʲ
- Two of the same consonant are geminated
- ʉ = u when long, word-final, or stressed
- ɛ = e when long, word-final, or stressed
- r > ɹ before ð, β, ɣ
- Two standard vowels right next to each other diphthongize, you cannot have two long vowels or any long-short vowel combinations right next to each other, nor can you have two of the same vowel next to each other, as those would just mutate into the long form
- f > v intervocalically or after an initial vowel
Now, I haven't quite figured out how these sounds would evolve from Old Norse, but I based them mostly off Norwegian and Finnish, which would fit the area and the history I have in mind.

2024.05.13 23:17 ICraveCoffee7 Phrases in ɥugʊke / Proto-Minelic
Recently, my boyfriend ('daklos', Redwoood) and I ('gɥehæfilos', Orange Fish) have found ourselves inspired by the concept of Clongcraft, and have started a Minecraft world together in which we can't speak any existing languages. Over the past few weeks, a proto-language of sorts has arisen. Here are some short examples:
ım ib mɥʊn • I eat a berry. (lit.: 1psg.seed.consume)
se saok omo ta se • You gather deepslate. (lit.: 2psg.stone.black.give.2psg)
ım xixi æma • I make a banner. (lit.: 1psg.write.craft)
We use this language and Minecraft world as a way to strengthen our relationship. We each made custom keyboards on KBD Maker (IOS app), and are now really starting to get far with the language. I'll try to keep y'all updated with new developments!!
edit: got deleted coz it didnt have enough content so here i am explaining its grammar lmao
It is in SOV word order, with adjectives placed after nouns and reduplication to indicate plurals.
ım ib los mɥʊn • I eat a red berry. (lit.: 1psg.fruit.red.consume)
se dak-dak ta se • You gather many trees/a lot of wood. *(lit.: 2psg.tree.tree.give.2psg)
While a simple alphabetical orthography has developed, we also use banners as an ideographical writing system. "ib", the word for fruits and seeds, is represented by a banner with a red dot in the middle. We also don't have a word for "yes", so say "ejdæ", which means "good", or say "uh-huh". We don't have enough verbs yet, but I predict a system of repeating the verb in the question will also arise as a form of "yes" or "no".
The language in its current state, Proto-Minelic, has around 22 consonants and eight vowels. They are as follows:
/m l n ŋ ɲ j ɥ f p t d b k g x s c h/ [q `]*
/ʊ u ı i æ a o e/
*i don't have access to the IPA rn, but [q] is the palatal version of /k/ and [`] is the glottal stop
TLDR we are cavemen in Minecraft. one REALLY loves copper and wasted 20 kabilkion coal on a full inventory of ingots and the other one is me.

ım ib mɥʊn • I eat a berry. (lit.: 1psg.seed.consume)
se saok omo ta se • You gather deepslate. (lit.: 2psg.stone.black.give.2psg)
ım xixi æma • I make a banner. (lit.: 1psg.write.craft)
We use this language and Minecraft world as a way to strengthen our relationship. We each made custom keyboards on KBD Maker (IOS app), and are now really starting to get far with the language. I'll try to keep y'all updated with new developments!!
edit: got deleted coz it didnt have enough content so here i am explaining its grammar lmao
It is in SOV word order, with adjectives placed after nouns and reduplication to indicate plurals.
ım ib los mɥʊn • I eat a red berry. (lit.: 1psg.fruit.red.consume)
se dak-dak ta se • You gather many trees/a lot of wood. *(lit.: 2psg.tree.tree.give.2psg)
While a simple alphabetical orthography has developed, we also use banners as an ideographical writing system. "ib", the word for fruits and seeds, is represented by a banner with a red dot in the middle. We also don't have a word for "yes", so say "ejdæ", which means "good", or say "uh-huh". We don't have enough verbs yet, but I predict a system of repeating the verb in the question will also arise as a form of "yes" or "no".

2024.05.13 00:02 heronobrien Help me pick a name!!!
Baby girl en route to be born in early July, so we've got a sec to decide. We like feminine names, but generally going for something with cool vowel sounds and more than one syllable. Ideas here:
-Adelaide
-Lorelai
-Saoirse (gaelic, pronounced sear-sha)
-Miriam (Miri for short)
-Aziza
-Sasha
Thoughts? We were dead set on Adelaide and I'm having cold feet cause maybe its too old lady ish? Anything here that stands out/is ugly as hell/could have a cool nickname we havent thought of? Entirely new names? Side note: we are a couple with irish and jewish backgrounds, so anything within that scope is coolio
Thanks <3

2024.05.12 20:38 ChasetheElectricPuma Why is it that when Eminem does something average lyrically, it's often described as a "novel" and "highly complex" rapping technique?
Take, for example, his "list-off-a-series-of-things-in-quick-succession" songwriting trick on EPMD 2, Zeus, Brainless, and Yah, Yah.
On Yah, Yah, he lists off a series of '80s rappers at the end of his verse. Like, there are a plethora of rap names to choose from that contain the long "e" vowel sound (Bu/sy Bee, A.G., Beast/ie Boys, Biz Makie, Mike G, MC Lyte, and Who/dini). It's not even executed creatively in the same way as, say, Wordsworth's verse on Chubb Rock Can You Please Pay Paul the $2200 You Owe Him (People, Places and Things) in which he ties together the names of various hip-hop artists to tell a short story. On the song When Will I See You Again by Chali 2na and Elzhi, they both use more varied multi-syllabic rhymes while naming historic rap icons as a sort of Memory Lane-esque homage to hip-hop culture.
Or, take all of the brouhaha that erupted over the purportedly un-rhymable word "orange." In a 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, Eminem went on to say:
There's nothing wrong with appreciating Eminem's skillset, but people sometimes make it seem as if he's fundamentally revolutionized rapping from a "technical" standpoint.

Like, people say that the word 'orange' doesn't rhyme with anything. That kinda pisses me off. I can think about a lot of things that rhyme with 'orange.'There are only two words in the English language that can act as perfect rhymes, but you can slightly alter the pronunciation of plenty of words to make them act as neaslant rhymes. Anyone familiar with rap should know this. Starting with a false premise (the word "orange" doesn't rhyme with anything) gives people, especially casual listeners, the false impression that Eminem is doing something that shouldn't be possible.
If you enunciate [the word 'orange'] and make it more than one syllable, or-ange, you can say, like, I put my or-ange, four inch, door hinge in stor-age and ate porr-idge with Geo-rge.

2024.05.12 17:08 AzerothSutekh A few pronunciation questions for Classical Latin
QUESTION 1:
First off, when is su pronounced /su/ versus /sʷ/?
I ask because I was previously using a software known as Mango Languages, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with the way it was pronouncing it's SUs (for instance, they pronounced suus with /su/, but used /sʷ/ for suāsī). I am aware that different people pronounce Latin differently, so it doesn't surprise me that some people would pronounce su with a /ʷ/ sound and others wouldn't. However, what did surprise me is that a single person or software would pronounce su's different depending on the word. Assuming this is not a Mango-exclusive thing that nobody else does, what is the difference between suus and suāsī? Why are they pronounced differently in this way?
QUESTION 2:
Second, I know that vowels followed by other vowels make the first one have a long quality (e.g., in mea, the e has the quality of ē, but the length of e), but what about multiple of the same vowel? For the -iī word ending I believe I already got my answer from this post, specifically u/astrognash's comment, which was:
However, what about words like periisse, where the two ii's are in the middle of the word? Is the first i pronounced with a long or short quality? And -uum? With which quality and length is the first vowel pronounced? (Currently I'm just been using short i's for both with periisse, and long quality for the first u in -uum)
QUESTION 3:
Lastly, is the short a ever pronounced differently in different parts of the word? Mango sometimes uses /ə/ for the ending -a in a word (e.g., with fēmina, they’ll pronounce it /feːmɪnə/), but pronounce the a’s in amat with /ɑ/
Same question with the letter u: why does Mango pronounce the u in ut with a schwa (/ə/), but pronounce the u in Gallus as /ʊ/?
Anyway, any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

For the -iī word ending I believe I already got my answer from this post, specifically u/astrognash's comment, which was:
"You make the "-i-" sound twice. Note that, in English, our natural tendency is to separate the two "-i-" sounds with what's called a "glottal stop"—you probably experience this as kind of a catch in the upper part of your throat between the two letters. This is probably not how the Romans would have separated the letters—it should be more fluid. We even have inscriptional evidence where sometimes words that we know end in "-ii" get written out just as "-i", which tells us that for at least some segment of the population, this was pronounced in a way that was difficult to hear as two separate letters."Do correct me please if that comment is incorrect in any way, but this is what I'm going off of for now (I will note that he didn't say what quality to make the first i, but based on the way Mango pronounced it, I'm pronouncing it /ɪ/ then /i:/, but with no glottal stop between the two).
However, what about words like periisse, where the two ii's are in the middle of the word? Is the first i pronounced with a long or short quality? And -uum? With which quality and length is the first vowel pronounced? (Currently I'm just been using short i's for both with periisse, and long quality for the first u in -uum)

- Old English [θ] and [ð] turned into [t] and [d] respectively, resulting in words like ‘tief’ and ‘odder’, instead of thief and other
- Old English [ɣ], rather than being vocalized to [u] in the Middle English period, was vocalized to [x] and later [χ]. Thereby turning words like boga into boghe, rather than bow
- In a few isolated scenarios, Old English palatalized consonants such as [ʝ], [tʃ], [dʒ] and [ʃ] could be de-palatalized. Examples of which is the suffix ge-, which in old English was prononunced as [je]-. Though keep in mind this change was rare and followed no patterns
- Anglisc preserves the Old English [ʝ], which in this TL doesn’t merge with [j]
- During the Middle English period, the dialects of Kent and Wessex, the most influential of dialects, had the phonemes [f] and [s] be voiced in the beginning of words. Later, once the capital shifted from Winchester to London, the Wessex dialects clashed with the Anglo-Norse dialects of the Eastern Midlands, which land to many West-Saxon words being dropped from standard English. However, many words from the once prestigious dialect remained in the London standard, resulting in words like zunne, rather than the expected sunne, for Sun.
- Old English [w] was first turned into [ʋ] before merging with [v]
- Initial [h] before a consonant was dropped in all cases

- Anglisc preserved Old English [y] and raised it to [ʏ], with [y] being the open-vowel quality
- Much like their Continental cousins, Anglisc preserves final [ə]
- Anglisc’s open vowel lengthening also occurred much like in German and Dutch
- Anglisc’s great vowel shift was much closer to the phenomenon that occurred in the other West-Germanic languages, [iː, yː and uː] became [aɪ, aʏ and aʊ] if not followed by r, [eː and oː] became [iː and uː] and [ɛː, ɔː and øː] became [eɪ, oʊ and øʏ] also if not followed by r
- Old English [ɑː], when not followed by [r], [h], [w], or was in the final word position, diphthongized to [aɪ], later merging with [aɪ] from [iː]. In other scenarios [ɑː] became [ɔː] and later [oʊ]
- Old English [æː] was also opened to [aː] as [ɑː] shifted to [aɪ] and [oʊ]. Resulting in words like saad, rather than seed
- Old English [æːɑ], if not followed by [r], [h], or a dental, became [ɛɔ] and later [eʊ], not to be confused with Old English [ew]/[eːw], which became [iʊ], in the remaining cases, it became [eɪ]
- Anglisc preserves the Northumbrian [øː] which indicated umlauted [o] rather than the West Saxon [eː]
- Anglisc lacks vowel lengthening before [ld], [mb], [nd] and [rd]
- Anglisc also lacks vowel shortening after three consonants. For instance ‘faiftien’ rather than ‘fiftien’
- Lastly, Anglisc also lacks the vowel diphthongization before [x] that happened in Middle English. Thus, toght rather than thought

2024.05.12 03:25 Objective-Patient-37 Did the Spanish "B/V" sound originate from the Hebrew "bv" letter bet ב?
Prince of Egypt animated cartoon brought me here as Yocheved is referenced as Moses' mother while in THe Ten COmmandments film, her name is pronounced Yochebed. Also - Spanish has the word for twenty, venty with a soft b on the v.
In Spanish, the letters "b" and "v" are pronounced the same way, with a slight difference:
The Hebrew letter bet (ב) can be pronounced as a "b" or a "v" depending on whether it has a dot in the middle. A dot in the middle, called a dagesh, indicates a "b" sound, while no dot indicates a "v" sound. WikipediaBet (letter) - WikipediaThe Hebrew letter represents two different phonemes: a "b" sound (/b/) (bet) and a "v" sound (/v/) (vet). When Hebrew is written Ktiv menuqad (with niqqud diacritics) the two are distinguished by a dot (called a dagesh) in the centre of the letter for /b/ and no dot for /v/.
Alphabet- Alef,Bet #shorts #learnhebrew #hebrew - YouTubeFeb 24, 2023 — the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a left alif alef is silent when it has no vowel. but the bass sound of bet is b as in Bob. now pay attention to the dot inside the letter which is that the gesh. the dagesh brings the emphasis to that letter three of the letters have a variation with the dagesh with the dot. and without so in this case bet with the dagesh makes b as in Bob. and without the dagesh it's called the vet. and it makes as in gov.Hebrew Today
The Hebrew Letter Bet (ב)This may make it easy to remember the name and sound of the Bet if you are first learning the Hebrew alphabet or learning the Hebrew language, and it gives you another word to add to your Hebrew vocabulary list, as well! The Bet is generally pronounced like a “B,” but sometimes, if it doesn't have a dot (called a “dagesh” in Hebrew) in the middle, it then becomes the Hebrew letter Vet and has a “V” sound. These sounds are often similar in many world languages. In Spanish, for example, the “B” may often sound more like a “V” and vice versa.Here are some other ways to determine the pronunciation of bet:

 | Hey guys. submitted by smthluvr to teachinginkorea [link] [comments] Pls delete if not allowed (I’ve cropped all school info so it should be ok?) BUT I was researching a school that I accepted an interview with and found a blog from a parent who wanted to send their kid there. They included a daily timetable and I wanted to get some opinions on it. I don’t know - this may be normal but since I’ll be teaching in Korea for the first time I thought I’d ask more experienced people lol. There don’t seem to be small breaks between 9am-1pm? I may be reading it wrong but that’s what it looks like. I suppose it could be different/more simple since it’s from the parents’ perspective. From what I understand the full day program is optional to students. I included what the recruiter told me about the school as well just for info. Also, en excerpt from the blog post about class sizes and meal time. Of course, since I still have my interview with them coming up, I will be asking questions to find out more, but I wanted to get an initial impression (?) or opinions on this? Is there something I should Definitely ask them? |
2024.05.11 15:44 Next_Concept_1730 All About Reading Level 1 or 2?
We are not homeschoolers, but I work a flexible job and do a lot of enrichment with my kids. My daughter (young 5) is an emergent reader. She knows all letters and their most common sounds. She’s internalized probably 100+ high frequency words. She’s about 80% finished with the main learning path on the reading eggs app. So I would say she’s reading at maybe a mid first grade level? I have her read pages here and there when I read aloud to her. She usually can read her own “chance” cards on Monopoly Junior, and often notices signs she can read.
Over the summer break, I’d like to spend 15-30 minutes a few times a week solidifying her phonics skills. I’m interested in using the All About Reading curriculum, but I’m stuck on which level to buy. Level 1 seems like it would be way too easy, but there are some skills in it she hasn’t formally learned, like counting syllables or the terms “long” and “short” vowels. Level 2 looks hard to jump into with a younger reader, though. We can work through either level on any time frame (no rush to finish), so I could go with Level 2 and take it slowly. I’m kind of leaning toward Level 1 to keep it comfortable and fun, but it’s a lot of money to spend if we’re going to fly through it in a month. Which level would you choose?

I’m kind of leaning toward Level 1 to keep it comfortable and fun, but it’s a lot of money to spend if we’re going to fly through it in a month. Which level would you choose?

2024.05.11 07:06 feeniebeansy I used to always wonder why she nicknamed us “Sweet Tea”…
Ok hear me out. Felicity, from the first Style Savvy game, calls us “Sweet Tea” a lot, right? As a kid, I didn’t think much about it. I’m from the south myself, we love our sweet iced tea. But I’m realizing now that I’ve never heard anybody use it as a nickname- usually it’s sweet PEA, or sweetie.
Now, as an adult, I’ve studied Japanese for several years and even at one point thought translating video games would be super fun, right? Well, as any of you who study Japanese know, when you’re speaking Japanese and use a word that is borrowed from another language, you write it in Katakana. So, naturally, this may become confusing at times when it’s English being spelled out phonetically, because some words will be very similar or even identical, causing mistranslations to occur every now and then.
スイーツティー would be the English words “sweet tea” written in katakana. Of course Japanese has its own words for sweet tea, but again, if we are spelling the English word in Japanese phonetics, this is how it’s spelled out; for example on Lipton Tea, it’s スイーツティー, right?
Now, Japanese doesn’t use spaces much in words or phrases, so the pause is indicated by the character ツ- which, in a Japanese word is pronounced tsu, most of the time the vowel “u” making a pretty short sound but can be longer; however, when ツ is used in English words, it’s incredibly rare for the “u” part to actually be part of the word. Usually it’s in place of a consonant to indicate a pause, whether in the middle of a word like “kitty”, or at the end of a word, like “cat”. When it’s a T sound in the middle of ONE word it’s small like ッ, but if it’s stopping a word that ENDS in a T sound, it’s big like ツ.
Okay. So let’s recap. スイーツティー is how we would write sweet tea in English, in Japanese, in katakana- right? So then what is スイーッティー? Sound it out- if the first is sweet•tea… the one with the small ッ is not a full stop in the middle and is… sweetea… sweetie. Sweetie. IT’S SWEETIE.
Now, I have never played the Japanese version of the original ds game (Girls Mode), but I do know that some older Japanese games didn’t include a full keyboard with smaller characters since it was already hard enough to see the normal sized ones in pixels- so some games just assumed the players would already know the words and be able to understand what they were, I guess sorta like how some English games were in all caps back then because they couldn’t be bothered to try to make the more ~curvy~ lowercase letters when anyone could read caps just fine, and there just weren’t enough pixels to do it without making the font super big and take up a lot of space.
So these are my theories:
•Felicity has been calling us Sweetie the whole time and NOT Sweet Tea, because the spelling of the two are identical if you only have big katakana to work with- so whoever translated and localized the game read it as sweet tea, because that was the literal translation.
•If the game DID have the small katakana, either same thing as in the first theory, or even possibly whoever originally wrote her dialogue made a spelling mistake. Either way, it was a translation error- whether it was the original writers spelling sweet tea, or the localizer translating the translation.
Regardless of what happened, I think it's a very endearing silly nickname that got in the game because Felicity herself says she was named after a Southern Belle, and I can definitely see it going past someone's head since we do love our sweet tea down here- I definitely think it made her memorable. I didn't even realize it was probably a translation mistake until just now, age 25, at midnight playing the game and wondering if anyone calls each other that, only to have a lightbulb moment that it sounded like SWEETIE, which we DO use daily in the south.
Anyway, idk who is actually going to sit down and read all of this, but I had to let everyone know because this stuff fascinates me. I love learning how languages work, and how tiny translation errors go over our heads sometimes haha.
She was trying to call us sweetie this whole time. But I always loved being called sweet tea 😭

2024.05.11 01:53 epyonyx How did Erasmus intend Omicron to be pronounced
I know Americans pronounce omicron exactly like alpha. I’ve heard that it was intended to have a different vowel sound, but that Americans unfortunately pronounce our short o’s (as in pot) no differently that our a’s (as in father), so alpha and omicron ended up identical for American English speakers.
I guess British folks pronounce the Erasmian omicron like their o in “pot”, which is not like our American o in “pot”. But I’m skeptical that a Dutch guy was intending a Brittish o sound, unless of course it’s also a Dutch o sound.
If anyone has the ipa notation for it that would be immensely helpful.

2024.05.10 21:52 the_celt_ Since it's coming up a lot again: My take on the 3rd Commandment
It Keeps Coming Up
People keep acting like there's sin attached to the idea of SAYING the name of the Father or Son incorrectly. I don't believe that's the case at all, and I think it's a particularly dangerous idea to our newbies, the people that scripture would say are still drinking milk. It scares people away from settling into a relationship with God out of fear that He will not receive them due to their technical error of not saying His name correctly.Some people are not calling on His name at all due to misplaced fear coming from the misunderstanding of the 3rd Commandment. It's not a minor issue.
It's worth fighting for, so here I go.
The Short Version
I don't believe the 3rd Commandment is about getting the correct vowels and consonants for Yahweh's name. That idea comes from the antiquated KJV usage of the word "name" where today we would say "authority" or "reputation".For example, in the time period of the King James translation, they might say "Halt, in the name of the King", which is their way of saying, "I'm not telling you to stop on my own authority. I'm telling you to stop on the authority/reputation of the King" or to be much shorter "What I say comes from the King".
This is similar today to us saying, "Halt in the name of the law". The law doesn't even have a name! The law is an authority, so this example shows PERFECTLY how the 3rd commandment is meant to be used. It's about misuse of authority. It's not about saying something correctly.
The 3rd Commandment is about ruining the reputation of God by falsely claiming to speak for him.
You can stop here if you just wanted the general idea.
Support for the Idea
Here's me digging deeper (deeper than many people would like to go) to prove what I said above.As always, we should look at what scripture actually has to say and not waste our time talking about what it does not say. Here's the whole commandment:
Exodus 20:7 (NET) You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone who takes his name in vain.or
Deuteronomy 5:11 (NET) You must not make use of the name of the LORD your God for worthless purposes, for the LORD will not exonerate anyone who abuses his name that way.There are two words that need some explanation from this commandment. Those are the Hebrew words typically being translated as "take" and "vain".
Take = Nasa
The Hebrew word being translated as "take" or "make use of" is: nasaHere's the Strong's Concordance for that word: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5375.htm
From the Strong's, we can see that the word refers to the idea of "lifting","carrying", or "taking".
Vain = Shav
The Hebrew word being translated as being "vain" or "worthless" is: shav.Here's the Strong's Concordance for that word: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7723.htm
From the Strong's, we can see that the word refers to the idea of "falsehood" or "lying".
Put Those Two Together
After verifying the Strong's for those two words, I think it's easy to see that the 3rd commandment is basically "Do not falsely carry God's name" or "Do not lie that you're carrying God's name".This means, don't say something like we said above, about "Halt in the name of the law", when you're not the law!
There are punishments for people that falsely represent the law.
There are punishments for falsely representing Yahweh. I'll show you the scriptural punishment for breaking the 3rd Commandment in the next section.
A 2nd Witness
The best part is, we have COMPLETE CONFIRMATION from the Torah that that is exactly what is meant. In Deuteronomy 18 we have an explanation for how to handle people who break the 3rd Commandment:Deuteronomy 18:15–22 (NET) 18:15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you—from your fellow Israelites; you must listen to him. 18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the LORD your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the LORD our God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.” 18:17 The LORD then said to me, “What they have said is good. 18:18 I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them whatever I command. 18:19 I will personally hold responsible anyone who then pays no attention to the words that prophet speaks in my name.See? We have all of the pieces of the 3rd Commandment here. We have Yahweh's name/authority. We have someone lying, and claiming to speak for Yahweh. We have Yahweh holding that person guilty, and even describing the punishment: Death.
18:20 “But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in my name that I have not authorized him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. 18:21 Now if you say to yourselves, ‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’—18:22 whenever a prophet speaks in my name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.”
In a world where God sometimes had human representatives, the Prophets, it was vital that the Prophets be received as carrying the authority of the Most High and that they be LISTENED TO by the people of Israel. Whoever spoke that way, using God's name, would be treated as if they were essentially God.
It would be a great temptation for someone to consider adding the clout of God's authority to their own words, and if it happened with any regularity, then people would stop knowing who to trust. It would destroy the communication between Yahweh and His people. The next section will show you how to recognize people that are actually breaking, or at least inching as close as they can to breaking, the 3rd Commandment today.
People break the REAL commandment ALL the time
The sadly ironic part of this is that Christians and Torah-observant people break this commandment all the time, due to their misunderstanding of the commandment. We're missing the real sin!The Christians have typically thought this commandment was about not cursing, about not saying things like "God damn it" or "Jesus Christ!". They studiously maintain that people should not have foul mouths, but they often have no trouble at all telling people that God wants them to do something. They'll say, "I had a dream last night and God told me that you're supposed to do X" or "I was praying, and the Holy Spirit made it very clear to me that you're supposed to do Y". Christians break the 3rd Commandment like some people eat potato chips.
Similarly, Torah-obedient types tend to lean in the direction that the 3rd Commandment is about vowel sounds, about "using His actual historical name". This leads to variants like: "Yahweh", "Yah", "YHWH", "Yeshua" or a multitude (that's a scriptural word!) of variants with other "oo" sounds, like "Yahosha" or "Yashuwaa". (I couldn't possibly type all the variants I've seen.) Similar to Christians, Torah-obedient types will casually break the 3rd Commandment and tell you that God wants you to do something, when they do NOT carry His authority to tell you something so specific.
Conclusion
I hope I persuaded a few people that this is not a minor issue. People are commonly sinning by doing what God was actually warning us about. Frankly, people need to be a LOT more hesitant about telling other people how to live, as if they have a personal message from God. It's fine to refer to the Torah and correct people. It's not fine to add clout to your opinion by claiming you have authority to speak for God.Unless, of course, God REALLY gave you a message to deliver. Did He?
Another reason it's not minor is that we're greatly confusing our young, our converts. They're being told they HAVE to do something, that it's a sin issue, when it's nothing of the sort. In many cases this is the first thing they hear, this vowel/consonant Yahoshuwaa-type thing. That stinks. It's become a barrier to entry.
I personally hate it. I think it's evil when it goes beyond being anything other than a hobby to try to figure it out. It's not a sin issue. It does not affect salvation. It's probably impossible to actually resolve the names of either Father or Son with 100% certainty.
Have a great Sabbath.

2024.05.09 20:10 Mintvoyager Today I realized that the color of vowels moves through my mouth in rainbow order.
Synesthesia is just that think that you don't think about at all unless you make an active effort to think about your experiences. It's just like breathing. For me that means that it took me 23 years to realize that the color of vowels is in rainbow order for me based on the where the sound sits in your mouth when you speak.
I is a violet to periwinkle color depending on the context and whether or not it's long or short and a short " I " sound is formed in the back of your mouth. Followed by a Kelly green to lemon lime a" sound in the middle of the mouth. After that is the *e and y sounds which are yellow to yellow orange, and then u is orange, and finally a really round o sound sits in the front of the month and is an orangish red.
Really cool how I never even noticed it before and I have not a clue why it's that way for me, but I wanted to share because I thought it was really cool :)
