The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Rebekah P…
Rebekah P.: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
G.J.: Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you is easier to follow.
G.J.: Stoping the negativity is the first part of bringing the positivity
Snooky S.: I have this Norman Rockwell
Rayn: The Golden Rule!

Rayn: Global Elitism: The Character Traits Of Truly Evil People:
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/1348-global-elitism-the-character-traits-of-truly-evil-people
From the article:
“Elitists believe that conscience is a hindrance to success, instead of a worthwhile virtue. They knowingly and deliberately abandon their moral compass because they see it as an unnatural restriction, an obstacle that makes getting what they want more difficult… They further attempt to avoid the fact of their own dysfunction by trying to elicit criminality in others. If they can convince the masses that morality is “relative” and that right and wrong are subject to “interpretation”, if they can convince us to ignore our own inner voices which are inborn, then their monstrosity could eventually be considered normal, even preferable. For in a world of moral relativists, the man with a conscience becomes the criminal, the outcast, and the elites become the heroes they always wanted to believe themselves to be.”
Allison H.: Scary stuff. Unfortunately, all too real.
Rayn: Sadly… And, yet, most would rather sympathize with the thieves and murderers of this world, than to support their fellow human beings in the struggle AGAINST such lizards! I seem to remember a similar ancient story involving a fellow named Barabbas… *sigh*
Allison H.: Yep. I’ll meet your sigh and raise you a groan.
Rayn: Indeed!
I originally posted the following photo and statement onto my Facebook wall…
Photo taken by my husband, on February 22 (my birthday), right before we entered the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit, within the Discovery Times at 42nd Street, Times Square, in New York City, New York
In an awesome moment of synchronicity, the two partially obscured words directly behind my shoulders, when converted from Late Semitic Script to modern Hebrew, read as follows:
“קודשו ושם” (from right to left)
or “w’shem kodsho”
This is translated as:
“and, [His] Set-Apart Name”
These words represent a portion of the following sentence:
“קודשו נקרא עליכם ושם”
or “w’shem kodsho niqra aleikhem”
Translation:
“And, His Set-Apart Name is invoked over you”
I find this intriguing because right after my husband completely surprised me with the news that we’d be attending the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit for my birthday, on the morning of, all I could think about was how amazing it was that we were going to be seeing and reading the Set-Apart Name of our Creator, “יהוה” [HE IS] (as first revealed to Moshe at Mt. Horeb) from the actual original copy of one of the oldest known Hebrew manuscripts of the TaNaKh in existence, with our very own eyes! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
