Photograph of the Atlas globe Shortwave Radio | Thursday – April 16, 2026 S hortwave radio is on my mind – again. Not that I have mentioned my radio interest very much on this page, although I have alluded to this in some posts , but that is all besides my point: I find radio communications of all kinds important for one reason – freedom . Now, I am not someone that tends to talk or write a lot of about freedom, although I have done this in the past as well , but I do find it important to evade government control and coercion as much as possible, and one of the most effective ways of doing this is through the medium of the airways. Now, it is also true, I should make clear, that shortwaves in particular are not the only "radio medium", and there is surely a physical science behind this, something that I may return to later. But because of physics, in the material sense , shortwaves in particular tends to travel very far distances, depending on conditions , and this means th...

Sikh depiction of: Bhai Bala ( ਭਾਈ ਬਾਲਾ ) and Bhai Mardana ( ਭਾਈ ਮਰਦਾਨਾ ) Other People | Wednesday – April 15, 2026 P eople are numerous these days. Really, people are all around these days, and this proximity to many people is not natural nor is it really something that is traditional or typical of human life under the Sun. Of course, this human density development is something that is strictly linked to modern civilizations . I guess the problem then becomes this: what will people think?

Sure, it may have been the case that most people throughout their lives at some points met strangers, but these where certainty exceptions. So yes, it would be quite natural for people to wonder and even worry about the opinions of other people, really an issue of free inquiry. So do people actually think anything in parti...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush My Views on Fundamentalism | Tuesday – April 14, 2026 F undamentalism, why is it so salient? First of all, while this may be a common question, I actually do not agree that fundamentalism is salient right now, but I do believe that it would be quite accurate to instead propose that what modern people believe to be "fundamentalism" is salient right now, and the main reason for this is of course because many modern people do not understand the primordial doctrines , which means that they tend to default to some kind of assumption that aligns with the many absurdities of people who rightly should be labeled fundamentalists, and yes these people are real and they are fundamentalist, but not in any way pertaining to real doctrine, and quite often these people will be selective in their performance of belief and religiously, something that has nothing to do with doctrine, and this is why groups that claim such things as Jihad  ( جِهَا...
