Simmer

 Don't let something cook away and burn.  Slow cooking's the best.

Witness our enemies.  They gradually eat away our substance.  Death by a 1,000 cuts.

As I've said, we must bit by bit take it back and surmount.  

We must bit by bit restore the Republic.  It goes by another slogan which was once used by a previous CiC.

His intent was to refashion America in the collectivist matrix.  

Ours is to indeed restore, ie, the original intent of the Founders.

Resist the enemies' intent to rush us to rashness and thus to burn up any good.  No ashes.

Let all the ingredients meld and nourish.

Moo

 Disregarding humanity makes those who do so inhuman.

Imagine treating people like cattle.  Even cattle should be humanely handled.  

There are those who look down on most of us.  Elitist is a joke of a term which points out the folly of snobbery.  

I've experienced that looking down literally.  Of those who do, I perceive a lack of what makes us the unique creation we are, with all the things we hold dear.  We are thankful to a Creator who cares.  

We are in a war with those who would be our masters.  They suffer from lack of self.

This isn't to say we have sympathy.  Our task is to stop tyranny.  

Trust on Great Spirit and the Angels.

Ruminations/food for thought.

Boast

 Can boasting be a form of abuse?  Yes.  It can be a conscious or unconscious effort to put people down.

That depends on whether someone is under a thumb, bereft of a healthy outlook.

Abuse can make some abused feel better.  It might be largely unwitting.  Maybe.  

Some attempt to overcome by implying superiority.  Check superiority and inferiority complexes elsewhere.  

Likewise, others debase themselves.

Endrunning and one upping reinforce a sense that some suffered various abuses and result in a desperate try to compensate.

There are those who can be guided to dispense with boasting, and lead away from wasteful competition.  

Honestly face one's character and deeds.  Give and receive.

Most of all, keep undercover aspects and plans.  Let them come to fruition quietly

Yes, state accomplishments and let people know what you can do.  But, develop gradually and the surprise might be pleasant except for the Darksiders.

I follow the advice of Galatians: 'Be not boastful'.  

Pride comes before the fall.  Give yourself a chance to truly celebrate accomplishment.  

Truth can surmount defeat.

Doing beats boasting.

Fear Pile

 The dark side is always trying to dish up fear.  Sometimes the packaging is different with a little bow but it's the same stuff.

Fear, isolation, depression, unworthiness etc pummel people.  Pummel back.

Face the attacks with truth.  Relentlessly.  

Base yourself in love.  If they call you a fool, so what?

Fools can't balance head and heart.  

But when darkness has someone pinned, someone is not a fool.  They are being fooled.

Help where you can.  Let your conscience be your guide.  Duke it with the dark, not the victim.

We are known by our fruits.

No foolin'.
