[hellsitegenetics]

this valentine’s day i would like to profess my undying, ardent love for the callistephus chinensis (china aster)! the flower that contributed to me giving myself my name!!

not only are they a part of the (superior in my opinion) family of asteraceae, but also the genus’ (callistephus) etymology is derived from the greek words “kalli-” meaning “beautiful” and “stephos” meaning crown. they have beautiful chrysanthemum-esque blooms and come in all sorts of colours (my favourites being purple and white).

straying away from taxonomy a bit, asters in general are one of the birth flowers for september (my birth month!). they symbolise hope, faith and wisdom. and according to greek mythology, astraea (“star maiden”: goddess of purity, justice and innocence) cried because there weren't enough stars in the sky and when her tears hit the earth, they caused asters to bloom! continuing to follow the greek myth, she was the last goddess to live amongst the humans after the golden age, symbolising the decline of hope for humanity along with the decline of the ages. she left and became the constellation virgo i believe!

some more fun fun facts, asters have a most frequently observed number of n = 9 haploid chromosomes (2n = 18 for diploid). the numerology of the word “aster” also happens to be nine and guess what! september is the 9th month of the year! is it obvious i really like the number 9? almost as much as i love asters <3

"The Strike." From the Acts of the Apostles 22: 17-21.

Next Luke explains the role of the Church in converting people to Judaism. Take a deep breath, Jesus Himself converted, so it can't be that bad.

Paul's Call to Preach to the Gentiles

17 “I went back to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the Temple, I had a vision, 18 in which I saw the Lord, as he said to me, ‘Hurry and leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your witness about me.’ 

19 ‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that I went to the synagogues and arrested and beat those who believe in you.

 20 And when your witness Stephen was put to death, I myself was there, approving of his murder and taking care of the cloaks of his murderers.’ 21 ‘Go,’ the Lord said to me, ‘for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

It is not at all Jewish to attempt an interpretive dialogue about the Torah with the rest of the world but Christians attempt and fail at it all the time. Even still as Luke said we need to reveal the Torah. This is what is known as a Call.

Calls are 134, קלד‎, kald, "a bunch or a type bundled together."

The Values in Gematria are:

Paul's Call to Preach to the Gentiles= 1261, אבס‎‎א‎, absa, "Father the Self using the Alefbeis."

This Mishnah is not too easy, it is in fact the most difficult one of them all. God is telling us we have to read the Torah and Tanakh and then explain what kind of calf or lizard or flower we are without using words, then we have to bundle the wordless words together and come to know the Self. This is very difficult without meditation with open and closed eyes.

v. 17-18: While I was praying in the temple, I had a vision. Once one attains to Shabbat, one will find oneself entering a strange orientation. Sin and temptation stifle the Self, they divert it from all the things it truly needs and loves. Once I buried all of my hobgoblins, began visualizing all the pure, clean, lovely things I wanted to do with the rest of my life without a doubt. We need a safe secure world to succeed at Shabbat and the temple vision, which is why the study of the Torah which guarantees such things is required from early on in all human lives. Christianity by itself has not secured a safe world. I personally do not want to trifle with that shit while I am trying to enjoy my remaining years, I do not want trouble from anyone at all for any reason. Certainly not religious trouble.

The Number is 13925, יגץ‎ךה, yagetz‎techah, "It will strike you."

v. 19: I was there in the synagogues. The Number is 10566, קה‎סו‎ ‎, kaso, "I was muffled, concealed."

We wonder why God is not outspoken in the here and now nor long ago when He spoke to His prophets except this is not possible. We are not like God He is not like us, His angels are even less alike than anything in the creation. In order for the brain to develop an intellect it must be challenged. As with any learning experience, one must start with a basic format and add to it gradually over and over religion is the same. There is just no way to teach a child how to be an angel overnight without the complex and progressive equations found in the Jewish faith.

v. 20-21: When your witness was there, I was there. The Mishnah mentions Stephen, the Atarah was put to death and he became the High Priest:

Stephen (from Greek "Stephanos") is interpreted as drawing from the Greek word stephanos meaning "that which surrounds" or "corona," "wreath" or "crown". The name also connects to the verb stepho meaning "to place around" and the related noun stemma meaning "a surrounding" or "a coronation". 

Self-realization leads to intense self-government, called Stephen, and now Luke says that leads elsewhere. A Royal is supposed to be involved, a public figure everyone knows and transacts with. He is supposed to revel in this. Once he earns his corona, he is expected to attach and manage the kingdom. This is Kabbalah for the fact the intellect must manage the internal pulse of all the nerve endings and their attempts at manipulating the mind, especially those found in one's pleasure centers.

Unlike other religions, Judaism is not nihilistic. Once one has mastered the Kabbalah, one is expected to use one's mind, body, and talents to drive the Self and others mad with pleasure in all the proper ways. This is discussed in terms of Sukkoth, "a marketable character personality."

No one wants to date a dowdy lesbian that drinks purified spring water and eats alfalfa juice all day long when she is not busy stretching. One wants a race car driver with his helmet and gloves on. The Number is 13473, אגת‎ג, agathag, "the arrow of liberty."

"The adjective αγαθος (agathos) means good, virtuous or beneficial. It describes a tricky concept, especially since all things work for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28), but it's probably okay to assume that any movement or effort toward the inevitable and ultimate attractor of the whole of cosmic evolution (see Revelation 21:2) can be considered good, whereas any movement or effort away from that is a waste of time and energy and thus not good.

But since the inevitable and ultimate attractor of the whole of cosmic evolution is deeply akin its most fundamental principle, namely freedom (see Galatians 5:1), any restriction of movement isn't good, and goodness has rather to do with liberty than with direction. The full definition of goodness cannot easily be shoehorned into the mere handful of dimensions our language supplies, but there seems to be an arrow to liberty, just like there is one to time and in fact even complexity itself."

Whence upon one decides to obey the Commands and become a finished man of "tanned leather" then one is free to do as one decides. This implies one's decisions will not require any kind of course correction either before or after a desire occurs. Societies need laws and rules to reinforce the ethical framework of the Church but should the Torah be taught correctly in its entirety there should be little reason for the involvement of the State in personal life.

One who has "gathered" this from the Lessons is given the title of High Priest.

The final Gemara is קלד‎ אבס‎‎איגץ‎ךהקה‎סו‎ אגת‎ג, kald‎ abs‎‎igetz‎techahaka‎su‎ agat‎g= על טיח יבש גץ תחככה סו אגת ג, "On dry plaster, rub agate on it."

=To etch in the permanent features.

Our church going selves are not the end, they are the means. He who understands this obtains the Kingdom of Heaven.

"FOUR ARRESTS ARE MADE IN CHEROKALIA CASE," Sault Star. May 6, 1912. Page 1. ---- One is Charged with Attempted Murder, Others as Accessories. ---- ALL REMANDED IN CUSTODY === Wife of Injured Man Was Delivered of Twins Just Previously. ---- Charged with the attempted murder of A. Cherokolia on Friday night, Mike Apostolakis appeared before Magistrate Elliot in the central police court this morning and three other men, Nickolas Polis and Lewis Polis, alias Boutsel and Peter Stephos were charged with being accessories after the act.

Cherokolia was removed to the hospital yesterday, where he lays in a precarious condition, although he is now resting more easily. He was terribly beaten up, several of his fingers being broken, and having five gashes in his head.

The arrest of Apostolakis, who is said to be one of the real culprits, was made by Sargeant Dinsmore in a west end restaurant. Dinsmore entered to have a look round, and as he did so he noticed a young man at one of the tables raise the paper he was reading so that he could not be seen. This aroused Dinsmore's suspicion, and he immediately arrested him.

'The other two men were arrested in Steelton, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. All were remanded in custody until Thursday when the hearing will be continued. A pathetic feature in the case is the fact that the wife of the injured man was delivered of twins in the early part of the week.

RainCity is Vancity (Vancouver BC)

I am from Vancouver, my name is Corrina, and I love how much it rains in my hometown. I am one of those people that is just the absolute happiest, when it is raining. I can’t explain it. I feel it. Soaked to the bone in my rain drenched soul I carry my own weather with me.

Vancouver is an atmospheric city. Skies often the colour of lead; roiling with a misty-hued intensity. I love Jericho and Locarno beachfronts on gloomy November days. Kits beach in all seasons beckons. Not in the light but in the dark and the wet; abandoned. Calling to my core, like a sentient being; saying: “walk with me. Be with me. I am yours. I hate sunlight. Let me just put that out there. I love the dark, and the downpour. The storm. Intense, brooding, solitary state of existence. That is what I live for. Vancouver delivers.

Since this is not a formal essay I don’t have to play by ANY of the rules. I can wander from topic to topic at will. This brings me to another topic: the food in Vancouver! You could eat in a different restaurant every night for years on end. I have done this very thing, throughout my childhood and in later years.

Some of my favourite restaurants and eateries in Vancouver include: Stepho’s in the West End. Minerva’s in Kerrisdale (near where I grew up) La Casa Gelato in Strathcona 248 flavours. The NAAM in Kits, Aphrodities Organic Cafe in Kits (Legendary Pie.) Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe in Kits. The Revolving Restaurant in Downtown. Lee’s Donuts in Granville Island. There are more but these were some of my favourites growing up. I also love Asian food including sushi. Vancouver has the best bars and nightclubs. Many sadly shut down during the pandemic. The commodore ballroom (an Art Deco gem) Celebrities, the Odyssey, and a myriad of others. People from almost every nation flock to our city as a cultural hub. I don’t need citations; look it up on Wikipedia or Google if you don’t believe me.
