“The men of the great synagogue prayed to God to remove from the earth the Evil Spirit, as the cause of all trouble. Immediately a scroll fell from heaven with the word Truth written thereon, and thereupon a fiery lion came out of the sanctuary. It was the spirit of idolatry leaving the earth.” - [Source]

[…] In this instance, we’re about three days off from the Full Moon, I think (I’ve been tracking it). So what I saw, with my eyes mind you, was this sort of multi-planar visual of the “regular” moon, with this other - I don’t know if this is the right word but - “etheric moon” or something off to the left and kind of like in front, but not quite. It was dimmer and the whole thing reminded me of when you’re at the eye doctor and they keep rotating in lenses, overlaying them against one another. It almost looked like that, like multiple layers of moon or densities of moonness™ which were all rotating in together to form in a few days time the full moon reunion tour. Something like that… […]

[…] With all the song-writing I’ve been doing, I started thinking about licensing and monetization options potentially opening up to my writing. So I submitted my two IP releases to a company called Pump Audio, which is owned by Getty Images, *the* humongous stock photo company. I was not surprised to just find out that one of my submissions was rejected (and I’m sure the other will be) as being essentially unsaleable in their current form. From their form letter: Below are some of the reasons why your music may not be accepted. […]
