tribute fear pays to greed

The Falcon
It is the exclusive role and purpose of the speculator to provide liquidity and stability to the long term investor. This is a no mean feat. These are weak hands serving strong hands. Very few comments in the media seem to understand the role of speculation in the marketplace. A market without liquidity would implode and disappear altogether. When prices fall dramatically suddenly it is only speculators who will buy. No one else will and so the marketplace and price survives. Meanwhile the strong hands who hold, usually out of fear or greed themselves, are the ones who should be attacking and insulting their long term investor cousins who are selling or refusing to buy, not the speculators. When the strong hands long term investor wants in or out, the speculator is the only one who gives him a price. If the long term investor wants the price to stabilize where he thinks it should be so bad then why does he not step up to the window and buy it? Why weep and moan about those with the courage and the cash who do? It is not easy for the few to buy something the many no longer want under the pressure of the moment. The potential reward must meet the risk. This is the tribute fear must pay to greed.

The title of this blog, God is the Spiritual Personification of Existence, is based on the first definition perception of ancient writers in the dawn of our known history.

Today's Supreme Being is not the original definition. First report accepted was God defined Himself as Existence. "I am that I am." He did not create existence, He is the fountainhead of Existence. Therefore, God is not only understood to be a Spirit, but also as the spiritual 'personification' of existence. This is a definition, not a theory.

There are both concrete and abstract forces, the seen and the unseen, such as gravity. There are spirits in bottles, spirits in words, spirits in us. The spirit animates everything, from gravity to emotion, as well as semantically. This blog is about defining the usually undefined term God, not religion, but what is meant by the term God.

There is one blog touching on religion, Church and Faith Pulpit Rock, about Christian atheism found in many churches, which themselves quite often have less to do with God or even religion for that matter, than they do with social entertainment.

The blog linked below, Specific Theory of Existence, takes us to essay attempts suggested by former atheists who are sensitive to atheist thought. They are exploring views relating to seen and unseen physics, the known unknown, with the unknown not yet known.

Other blogs, like Memory Stones about cemeteries, touch on other subjects of passing interest. That link and others can be found below. They are hosted by Spencer Corkum for the Sunset Strollers and the QuokeBlokes. They are not carved in 'stone' but may be continuously edited and updated. Davin Paralee, representing the Paraclete, is Editor in Charge.

The man with an experience is never at the mercy of the man with a theory, even if it is his own. The Spirit deep within speaks only to each one of us and does not tell us anything about others, or what they are to think or do. We each speak the words we are told by our spirit which cannot be held back, by this our witness is revealed. Words are the fruit of whatever spirit they describe. Words are powerful, they reveal the spirit that drives them. Passersby are welcome to comment in the same spirit as the content posted on this blog.
All things seen come from the unseen and will return there. Since we know so little of all that can be known, in order to make a decision now it must be made in faith because we are deciding without all the facts. There are those who wish to survive the falling away of the body and those who desire slipping into oblivion which is a destruction of that which existed. This too is a spirit and cannot die.
Generalities speak to generalities and specifics to specifics. To intertwine the two is jumping categories, and a fallacy in logic.

An example of what a man says is an illustration of his argument, but it is not proof.
