Thank goodness for Christopher Hitchens!

As someone who shares Hitchen's skepticism and nearing death (from old age, if nothing else) I need companionship and respect for knowing my own mind, not a critic, not a mother full of advice, not a priest, not a co-navigator, a collaborator comfortable with my views and values. I am sad because I know there may not be anyone out there like this and because I cannot take revenge on those who would impress me with their views as I lay helpless.

One exasperating aspect of reading or watching the atheists' arguments is that they are so linear, cognitive and left brained. If we were wholly left brained beings, this would make sense but we are not. There is an emotional aspect to us as well as a strong sense of intuition. When we are seriously ill, we do not respond solely with our intellects. We respond with our entire beings.

I also was treated for cancer three years ago. I was and am no member of organized religion. I put on my hospital admission form for religion "none". However, if anyone had asked me if this meant I had no religion, I would have said no.

Being ill is a spiritual experience. It will engage every aspect of you. I remember one day going from test to test in the hospital and feeling as if I had entered the Jungian stream of the collective unconscious. Another morning, I woke just before the hospital came alive and watched the cars come down the valley in the winter dark just before dawn. It was a very Impressionistic moment and I felt very close to the spark of creativity and beginning.

I did NOT sit around and debate religious beliefs either externally or internally while being treated for cancer. If these were the last moments of my life, I would not have chosen to spend them discussing whether the atheists or theists were correct in their positions. I said to myself, "I don't know so let's move on to experiencing what is left to experience about this world."

Finally, I experienced well wishers of varied beliefs. My best friend since childhood lit candles for me in her Catholic Church. I appreciated them. I could picture her doing so and I remembered our childhood together and the frequent times we saw them lit together. This was a positive recollection even though I personally had given up on the Church decades before.

Instead of intellectualizing the dying process, try claiming at least a moment of time in which you let other aspects of yourself come to the fore. It is a terribly limiting experience, perhaps your last, to debate this issue instead of opening yourselves up. I would hope that my final act might be making one last painting or other art work just before dying. That at the very least would fully engage me on every level.

As for wishing people dead for expressing their viewpoints as a writer, as some have done here, that is just plain asinine. We are a First Amendment people. You either believe in freedom of expression or you don't. There is no inbetween.

Dear Mr. Hitchens, I wish you peace during this challenging time. I have enjoyed your reflections on life and such since you were diagnosed with cancer. To be honest I found you frustrating in the past. But I have enjoyed your thoughtful side. I wish you peace.

Ooooppss.

Poy-fict timing:

What's up Doc?

Ye/Yo sound like one of those "Same-Sex" Lovies. Full of "Gods Delusion".

What Nerve to criticize on 'onfaith' when a Great Mentor's & Moderator's "Holyi Cosmic Feelers Faith" Life is in Question during his (OUR) short Holyi Appearance [of many] on NEBULA-BUiLT S.pace S.hip Earth (of Many many..).

PS: Ye/Yo art HUMAN! [Zero HUUMATE]. But WE[i] Both like carrots (Spinach Too) aye HUMAN? [NO HUUMATE]. Thanka-Shame anyways Yo!

If five rambling, inane posts in an hour and a half don't get you blocked for being a spamming troll, what does? I guess the username WOODSTOCK-41 explains it all. Your brain being full of holes is no excuse to post garbage. I think there is a building with padded rooms and brightly-colored pills with a reservation in your name.

Christopher Hitchens was a cheerleader for the war in Iraq which has killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. While I would not wish cancer on anyone I wish Christopher Hitchens had been given a rifle and helmet and dropped into Iraq in 2005. Would he still be a war cheerleader?
In the end Hitchens will die a lot more peacefully than thousands of GI's and Iraqis.

Happy Every Day (like a Birth Day)!

Oooopsssa Daisy:

Remember'th: "WE[i] Art "STUDENTS-FOREVER" Of/in "SOURCE-ONE" and i[WE] YE/YO Never Graduate! Aye?

WHY? Sorry, but that REVEALation (opposite of 'Hidden', unlike hidden Manna, Karma, Ummah etc..) can't be told until the Eklaht-iON's "Ultra-Paratestament" Of 'The New Song' [Born'th from Oldy's] is FREELY made available to the Public as Promised by US Huumates {Before Jan-2011].

Soo: Huggs n a Kiss's To ALL da Bredrens//Brothers//Bright's & Da Sistrens//Sisters//SisStars. yaya!

BRiLLIANT! "Happy Every-Day" (like a Birthday)!

HUUMATE(s), {Automatic Born Citizens/Denizens of S.pace S.hip Earth(s)} must have "Confidence" (aka "Faith", or "Believe" if Ye/Yo Will in Huumate Progress; Science etc..

Today, i[WE] had a Russian immigrant Lady, Who Butters me 'everything-Bagel' who i know for 20 Years. Two Years ago she was still Hot at 50. Now She Looks like 80. And Does.nt know how much longer (yet she thanks Radio Active things) and Yet me bagel tastes even better now, and me heart is heavy.

She {Eirra} likes to hear me actually sing, "Ha-aaapppy Bi-irrrrthhhddddaaay To US" .... "Happy Birthday Everybody!

Note: WE[i} or i{WE} Never "Die". O' What a False n ugly Word. Remember:

A Huumate [From S.S. Earth. aka S.S. GAiA, or S.S. GEOid, or S.S. TELLUSng someth'n:; is a "HUUMATE-Being". aka a "SUPREME-[only appearing, but] is being" justly fo a time. aka In a Holyi Cosmic "ETERNiTY AVOIDING LONLINESS" Reality. And

Best Of ALL; :BiOFiNITE-DEATH" (Carbon Based) is Never ever YE/YO's "TRANS{FiNITE-DEATH". Only Be Good On this Miraculous (zero Sin, Zero Curse; contrary to any Infixus-Books) yet "NEBULA-BUiLT" Living Solar System!

So; It's NOt about "Till WE meet in Jerusalem, or London, or NYC, or D.C. etc.... but about In the Bless'th FUTURE-BOUND & Holyi "SPACE-FORTH" M-E-M-E--P-E-R-C-U-U-L-A-T-i-O-N via Holyi TiME (Temperature; a Miracle in Holyi Motion via "IT") not man-made nor Human-made 'time' (clocks, Sundials etc..)!!!

So HOPE (the Best outcome) + FAiTH = LOVE, a/k/a = LiFE! And Sex, even though that's How WE[i} or Ye/Yo got Here [Stupids] , is NOt LOVE! L-i-F-E is L-O-V-E!

May XTRA-PHOTON"s Touch Bredrens Hitchen's "HEURISTIC/o; And giveth Him an Extra Time for reconciling his Introvision's while still appearing, in Miracle (NOt Sin) on S.pace S.hip Earth via the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Sequenciates into the 5th REALM (Dimention of 9)! Towards the 6th, then 7th then 8th & Finally, Back again on the 9th Dimension (realm)!!!

Note: Life is a Beach; but No Baseball-Game: even though the "5th" Dimension is like the "Home-Base". Please excuse i; but WE[i] will not delve into "IT" via such a 'EKLAHt-iON' "DEeper Prophecy."

Be Calm. Be Happy. Believe on HOPE & Faith in HUUMATE Progress + Science! Never Religion!! Remember: Good Folks Never Die; let alone get on line 1st! THIS is an APOCALYPTIC-ON's Sermon: never an Apocalyptic-Off's! O' "IT"! Praise "IT" [NO 'HE' nor a "SHE"; but living IN & out of Each of Us "Intelli Beings", aka HUUMATES, never HUMANS] , aka Lord (IT) if Ye/Yo no minda.
