Is Perfection Really the Enemy of Good?

Most people know my back story when it comes to religion. I was born into Roman Catholicism, and I held on to most of that foundation as I grew older.

In 2007, I was 27, and my search for more began. As, I began to learn about all the other religions and religious practices out here, the solar cross caught my attention.

You’d have to either be blind or in outright denial to dismiss the fact that Catholicism, and not only Catholicism, but many religions have their roots set in paganism. And that’s okay, it’s the paganism aspect that I love so much.

So, I began to pay attention to how the sign of the cross is made in church, forehead, belly button, left shoulder, right shoulder. That resembles the cross design of the crucifixion, but why make that cross when it symbolizes conflict and distress.

Why not make the solar cross that resembles a mathematical plus sign, since it does also represent the God? That’s forehead, solar plexus, left shoulder, and right shoulder.

The answer to that is because there are people who truly believe that perfection is the enemy of good. The solar cross is perfectly proportionate. It’s a plus sign. A lot of people don’t realize it, and forgive them Father for they know not what they do, but they make this imperfect cross in a rebellious act against perfection thinking they’re doing the right thing. BUT PEOPLE! Look at your bodies. You’re God’s creation, made in his image, and you’re perfectly proportionate! Look around you at nature. Everything is perfect, and precision is absolutely necessary for life to exist.

In the true teachings of Christ, we learn Jesus encouraged the people to not be like him, but to learn from him. He didn’t want to be worshipped, he wanted you to be yourself, and be confident in your abilities to do all the wonderful things he was capable of doing.

It took 17 years on this spiritual path that began in 2007 (which isn’t over), for me to finally understand where the roots of my faith were. I’m self-initiated. I’ve seen enough during prayer and meditation to know this. I’ve seen it in my birth chart as well.

But, I’m not bragging or anything like that, I’m just excited at how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learned over the last 17 years. When you set out on a journey not knowing what to expect or where it will lead, you begin to get a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when those things are finally revealed.

American Politics; The Truth Shall Set You Free

For the longest time, people said to refrain from speaking about politics and religion, and to them I say, “Don’t ever tell me what to do.”

It is our first amendment right to speak freely about whatever we wish to speak about, and not doing so will ultimately be the beginning of an eventual problem, depending on the original issue of course.

From what I heard, Candice Owens was just reprimanded by YouTube. I have no idea what she did, but I know this: YouTube pulled one of my videos because I told people they had a choice. YouTube pulled my video because I was a supporter of human rights. YouTube doesn’t like when you make videos that empower people to think for themselves. If what you say undermines certain groups or organizations, they’ll pull your video. If what you say is the truth, it doesn’t matter. You could be trying to help people and save lives, but if your video challenges certain popular beliefs, you’re marked as defiant and rebellious.

YouTube loves videos that are violent, sexual in nature, or are about people acting senseless and stupid. If you’re making a fool of yourself, you’ll make millions, if you try to rally people for a noble cause, you’ll be crucified. See, things haven’t changed much since the Roman empire.

People, we live during a time of mass deception, and the only way through this is for people to do the right thing instead of the selfish thing.

______________________________________________________________________________

There are serious issues going on this country today that no one even speaks about. Do you know how much money it costs to run for President in the United States? It has gotten to the point where poor people can’t even run for President in the United States. Do you know what that means? That means the poor in this country don’t have a voice. Do you understand the magnitude of this situation?

Think about the little boy or the little girl who is born and has a bedroom in a small 2-bedroom apartment. He or she lives with her parents, who are struggling to make ends meet. There are three other children in the apartment, siblings, and things are cramped. There’s no space and no privacy. When that child turns 5, he or she says, “One day, I want to be president of the United States.” That’s wonderful, but the reality is that he or she will never have the money to do so.

And, there we see the bigger problem.

If you come from that environment, your view of the world is completely different than the child who is a product of wealthy parents. The poor child has a realistic view of the world and at heart, understands noble causes. They’ve seen the hate, the violence, the theft, the deceit, the jealousy, the anger, and the rape. That child understands what it means to struggle and go without, and internally, that’s what drives that child to create a better world.

But, we get crucified for noble causes. Abraham Lincoln was poor.

______________________________________________________________________________

I want you to understand something about this country, and this isn’t my opinion. We had the winning formula, but we got rid of it in the early 1800s. Political parties divide the country, and the more political parties you have, the more you divide the country. That’s common sense. That’s 3rd grade math.

At one time there was no show. One president represented all the people, and things were good. At some point, someone said, “No longer will a president run without “effective opposition.” There must be someone to challenge and oppose. The 2-party system was born, and the political show began. Even if I agree with you, I’ll have to disagree because we need effective opposition.

That makes no sense and it’s a waste of time, but that’s what we did.

Now, here we are today, and we’re more divided than ever before. We no longer have what we began with, a Constitutional Republic, and we no longer have what that deteriorated into, a democracy. We have a hybrid system that combines fascism, communism, and socialism, all, extremely far left on the spectrum. Way too much control. Way too much fear. Way too much corruption.

And, please, you shouldn’t be angered by things you disagree with or don’t understand. There aren’t enough people with open minds. Many people claim to be open-minded, but they aren’t.

Instead of immediately firing back because you feel like you need to oppose something for the sake of opposing it, or immediately firing back because you’ve been conditioned to defend certain beliefs or viewpoints that represent a larger group you feel like you belong to, instead of getting defensive and upset, you should really listen to people who are different than you. It’s hard, but that’s what being open-minded is.

In this country, people who consider themselves to be democratic or liberal are probably some of the most close-minded people in the world, but they swear they have an open mind simply because they’re “liberal” or “democratic.” Democratic and liberal are labels, they aren’t accurate representations of what’s on the inside.

We’ve moved into a time where the truth is almost impossible to hide. Maybe at one time, close-minded people were able to hide behind those labels, but right now, today, you’re like a kid who’s playing an obvious game of hide and seek.

We can see your arms and legs sticking out from behind the tree! We see you! I know what you’re truly about! Hello!

Take the mask off, the masquerade party is over.

______________________________________________________________________________

I celebrate and appreciate individuality, independence, and free thinking. I love a person who brings something new and different to the table.

Copy-cat behavior, imitating, pretentiousness, the perpetuation of lies, people who act; all of those things drive me insane, and I don’t run away from it, I get into a track stance and sprint away from it. I sprint away from people who need their ego stroked, and I sprint away from people who become violent and threaten you when you disagree with them or have a different opinion. I turn my head from those who go out of their way to be in my site of vision. Why do you force me to look at you?

We don’t live in a culture that celebrates individuality. We live in a culture that’s conditioned to fear free thinking and individuality, and out of fear, most people attack it. Most people attack what they don’t understand. They attack it, and they feel like they must put a label on the person to make their behavior more acceptable or understandable.

The purpose of the spiritual path and striving for self-awareness is so that you grow to know yourself, which ultimately prevents you from breaking down and submitting because you don’t know the truth. Seek the truth. Know the truth. The truth will set you free.

You can be smart and not have a mental disorder. You can be a genius and not have a mental disorder. You can be assertive and question things you don’t understand without being “oppositional defiant.”

Just because you stick to a scripted dialogue and my questions fluster you and throw you off track, that doesn’t mean I’m aggressive or rebellious. Instead of constantly attacking me, take into consideration, please, that you might be the problem.

The system doesn’t like when people push back. They label you difficult and cast you aside, and I’m not even talking about someone who’s intentionally trying to push back. I’m talking about the people who are innocent.

I know, I’m 43 and I’m literally poor. I’m constantly under attack. My reputation and my character are constantly being scrutinized, and I’m not even doing anything wrong.

You see, what you didn’t anticipate, was me being able to see. I see ahead, and I see where all this is going. If you’re constantly reprimanding me and constantly on my back when I’m doing absolutely nothing wrong, it’s going to make little thing I do that’s actually wrong seem like the worst thing in the world.

You want me to give you reasons to make the lies you tell about me true. And, I’m not giving you that. I don’t break the law and I’m not a criminal, but you tell everyone I do and I am.

You keep hiring me and then firing me without a reason, and when I question you and ask you why, you call the cops on me, and you tell them I’m refusing to leave the premises.

Your actually doing two things by doing that to me: 1 You’re not allowing me to leave your job on good terms so that I can use you as a reference for my new job. And, 2, you’re creating this false image that I’m incapable of holding a job.

Which leads you to you once again say I have something wrong with me.

There’s nothing wrong with me. I see what you’re doing, and even though you’re incapable of seeing the bigger picture, I can see it clearly.

I’m not comparing myself to anyone and I never have, but I don’t need to compare myself to someone else to know when I’m being treated unfairly.

______________________________________________________________________________

I’m 43, and never in my life have I ever experienced being forced to receive medical care or treatment. Getting a vaccination is a personal thing you do to protect yourself from illness. It isn’t within the boundaries of human rights to force someone to be vaccinated, and yet we have this slogan about human rights on the back of one of our quarters.

You passively and indirectly forced people into getting vaccinated. How? Because the place you work at gave you the choice to get vaccinated, but they told you, you can’t work here unless you do. That’s strong-arming people into doing what you want them to do. That’s force. That’s mob-mentality. And you’re still doing it!!!

We live in a system that requires money. If you don’t have money you can’t afford housing, a shower to clean yourself, clothes, a vehicle to get around, and food and water. So by taking away my ability to earn a paycheck, you’re in a sense, trying to kill me or you’re forcing me into a position that’s so bad, that I would contemplate killing myself. A weaker person might do just that.

And you say you care.

When it comes to medical care, that’s between you and your doctor. If you decide to get vaccinated, and that’s your choice, understand that you’re doing that to help you. That doesn’t help me. You’re not helping me. You getting vaccinated is helping you. It’s preventing you from getting sick not me.

But I realized something about this force of vaccinations because I was born in 1980 and I was never before forced to get vaccinated. I realized that because my generation is experiencing this now, it’s up to us to resist it because it’s not really directed towards us. It’s directed towards the future and our children.

If we don’t resist it then our children will live in a country where medical treatment and vaccinations will be forced upon them.

This is the soft conditioning and infiltration over a long period of time. That’s “illuminati” behavior.” The destruction of something slowly and incrementally over a long period of time. But we just caught it.

In the United States, we’re being bullied and controlled by organizations and groups whose very existence is unconstitutional.

______________________________________________________________________________

Clearing up the illegal immigration issue.

Why is our government setting up sanctuary cities, bussing in undocumented illegal immigrants, and giving them free everything when there’s already a growing poverty issue in this country, which seems to be getting ignored? Why do illegal immigrants receive more help than poor Americans?

There’s a lot of reasons, but know this, when a population of people wakes up and realizes they’re being suppressed, oppressed, and not as free they thought, they’re going to figure out why. And when they do, they’re going to take their arguments to the proper authorities.

Once the people smarten up and find the truth, it’s easier for the government to replace them with a fresh batch of illegals who don’t know anything and who will follow orders and do what they’re told. Do you think our elected officials will willingly admit guilt and make things right? No. Do you think they’ll willingly step down?

Now you have this repeating drama being played out were people are rising up because they wised up and figured out what was being done to them, and not only do they have the system to contend with, but now all their jobs are being taken by illegals who will not resist.

I don’t know how may people in government understand the bigger picture, or even know the significance of their decisions, but this is what the bigger picture looks like.

Lunar Cycle Update

So, this isn’t a Moon Scope, it’s just a lunar update. Right now, it’s the first day of the new moon phase, and the moon is on the 29th degree of Virgo.

Tonight, if the skies are clear, you should see a very thin crescent. It will be a waxing crescent lit at 1%, and by the time the skies darken, the moon should be crossing over the cusp into Libra.

That means, for the first night of this phase, which is ultra important for planning and timing, the moon will be in Libra. As we follow the moon, we can see a beautiful progression starting to take shape. With the new moon in Virgo, we got the planning, the research, the information, the gathering of facts, and hopefully, a resurrection of truth as it pertains to our life.

Now, what do we with all that? Well, as indicated by the sign, Libra, whatever we just gathered or prepared (planted), should bring beauty, harmony, balance, and justice into our lives. Exactly what we needed!

For me personally, this time was focused on career, and how I could make myself more valuable in the eyes of employers. Venus rules Libra, but it also rules Taurus and the second house. For me, this about the pursuit of financial stability and the possessions I need to live a happy and healthy life.

I hope you’re all taking advantage of this moon cycle in whatever area you decided to focus on.

I went outside last night, it was late, probably around 1:30ish in the morning. And, there was that cool breeze that let’s you know the fall is right around the corner. It’s so romantic.

Have a blessed weekend, and be careful. My research has shown the murder of way too many people during the waxing crescent phase of the moon. Use common sense and good judgement.

Sneak Peak

(7)Penn State, 2-0 vs. Illinois 1-1: We must give credit where credit is due. Last week, Illinois never gave up in their game against Kansas, a game they lost 34-23. Their problem is that they had absolutely no answer for what the Jayhawks were doing offensively. This week, the Fighting Illini are home against Big 10 powerhouse, Penn State. The Nittany Lions are 2-0, and after last week’s 63-7 blowout of Delaware, they’re looking to feast on Illinois. For Illinois, that’s a scary thought. Offensively, Penn State scored over 100 points in their last two games, and last week alone, Drew Allar and company amassed 541 yards of total offense! If Illinois struggled with Kansas’s offense, what are they going to do against Penn State? Illinois will be prepared, and they’ll play ball, but they aren’t good enough to beat this Penn State team.

Nooz Now

September 13, 2023 Edition

Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to the September 13, 2023 edition of Nooz Now. I’m your host, Francis Joseph LaManna..

let’s get into it.

🚓 12 hours ago, it was reported that escaped murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, was finally captured by police. Cavalcante broke out of Chester County Prison in August and has been on the run since. He was sentenced to life in prison after murdering his girlfriend. Cavalcante was an undocumented immigrant and entered the country illegally. Maybe the far left can provide a sanctuary city for him to kick his feet up in. I don’t know, maybe they can provide him with free education, free health care, free housing, and a job. Oh, wait, it’s too late for that.

♍ Tonight’s moon is waning crescent lit up at 1%. Tomorrow night we celebrate the beginning of a brand-new moon cycle in Virgo.

🔲 Three years ago, a Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen from a Dutch Museum. The museum was in Amsterdam, and the 1884 painting was, The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring. The painting remained missing even though a suspect was arrested a year after the painting was stolen. Then, all of a sudden, someone brought it back in an Ikea bag.

🏈NCAA College Football: Rutgers is 2-0 and the Scarlet Knights play home in New Jersey this weekend.

🌞 Remember to keep the Sabbat Holy. On September 21, which happens to be the 5-year anniversary of Nooz Buffet, it’s the first day of the fall season. The Mabon Sabbat highlights the autumn equinox, a time when the sun shines on the equator and the northern and southern hemispheres receive equal light. The secret, however, is that day and night are not of equal length at the time of the equinox. I believe the real term for that special time is called equilux, and I believe it actually occurs days or weeks before the equinox.

🌞Speaking of the Sun, I often wondered, if the Sun is a star, and stars belong to constellations, in what constellation is our Sun in? If you were on another planet looking through a telescope, would our Sun be visible in a constellation?

😯 The Associate Press reported that more than 2,000 people died in Morocco from that earthquake.

🌊 The ice in Antarctica continues melting at alarming rate, and I wish someone would come out and just tell us the truth. The earth is going through a natural process where places that are inhabitable become habitable. Did you know that North American was frozen solid at one time? Who was burning fossil fuels then?

📝The launch date and time for the Big 10 college football weekly analysis has been changed to Friday, September 15th at 8 AM.

Alright everyone, have a wonderful night. Thanks for reading.

The Big 10 Conference

The Big 10 college football conference underwent some changes and restructuring not so long ago. It was the Big 10, and it contained 10 teams. After the restructuring, 4 more teams were added to the conference, and the Big 10 was divided in half, so, the Big 10 East has 7 teams, and the Big 10 West has 7 teams.

It’s still called the Big 10, but it now has 14 teams and 2 divisions.

Moon Scope; The Quality of Virgo

September 14, 2023 Edition

Welcome to the September 14, 2023, edition of Moon Scope, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

In three more days, on Thursday, the 14th, we get a new moon in the astrological sign of Virgo. At the same time, the Sun should be crossing over into the last 10 degrees of his transit through the same sign.

With a brand-new and fresh moon cycle beginning in Virgo, we receive not only a new start but a new start with a bit of uniqueness to it.

Photo by Joonas ku00e4u00e4riu00e4inen on Pexels.com

My intuition reveals a current scenario where someone is trying to achieve something, trying to make something work or trying to do something the “right way.”

I see a continuous effort being made, and the wonderful thing about the new moon phase starting in Virgo is that it blesses us with the tools to make things better, or exactly how we want or think they should be.

Virgo is a sign of the time. It’s telling us exactly how to navigate through this cycle of time in our lives, and when it comes to crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s, Virgo is the best placement.

The interesting thing here is that Virgo is the sign of perfection, however, we as humans aren’t perfect, and we don’t live in a perfect world. We’ll, that’s what we’re told, and if that’s true, then perfection as it relates to other people and places, may in fact, be an unreachable ideal. The key phrase being, “as it involves other people and places.”

Virgo, partially because it’s an earth sign, is not supportive of abundance or expansion, which makes sense because the more we add on and branch out, the more we realize the need to let go because we can’t control every little thing.

But, just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, perfection, as it applies to you personally, becomes reachable. The world might be imperfect, but your world doesn’t have to be.

Some of us might not have a choice now when it comes to change, meaning the end of something soon only to begin again might happen despite our efforts to prevent it. We might not be able to preserve or extend the life of something because it’s out of our control.

A house, for example, might continue to crumble over and over again until we figure out the secret to an indestructible foundation. Why do you think every empire in human existence that rose to power eventually crumbled and fell?

The clock-time itself is a test. Things that aren’t real, natural, true, or created with sincerity will not last. They won’t stand the test of time, and believe me, time will not hesitate to show us this lesson over and over until things are done the “right way.”

The advice I’m giving for this new moon is to start small. Pick up whatever pieces the last moon cycle left you with, and move forward. Research, gathering information, and truth are highly favored now.

Virgo is mutable earth, which should be a reminder that the way through this time is with an open mind. Listen more instead of talking and sort of feel your way through.

I never had a lot of friends because I never wanted a lot of friends. I didn’t want to be around fake, pretentious people. I’d rather have a small group of 5 people who I know are good and who I know will be there when I need them the most.

It’s quality over quantity.

Thanks again for visiting Nooz Buffet, and I’ll see you all at the next full moon.

A Look Ahead

I’m super-duper excited to make this announcement. So, on September 14th, which is this Thursday, I’m going to launch-for the first time ever, premium content. Premium content is content that you will have to purchase.

What is it?

After having much success picking the winners of college football games, I’ve decided to write a Big 10 college football weekly preview. This weekly preview will cost $8, and it will included an in-depth game-by-game analysis for every Big 10 game that’s being played for that particular week. In addition, I will offer my winning picks, and my picks versus the spread.

I’ve been working hard on this project, and I’m taking it seriously. I know there are a lot of sites out there on the internet, and it seems like nowadays, every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Hillbilly with a beard is offering an opinion about college football, but trust me, no one will be able to compete with what I’m going to offer.

And it’s for that reason, that I must charge a small fee.

Which brings me to my second point..

On the 21st of this month, Nooz Buffet will be celebrating its 5th year on the internet! Can you believe that? I can’t. I remember, it was in 2018, and of course I was out of work, but I saw the advertisement to start a website using WordPress, and I just wanted to do it. I was motivated and ready to run my own site.

Man, does time fly.

Here we are, it’s about to be exactly 5 years later, and I’m still writing. I know there are websites using WordPress that have 1,000s of followers, but I’m proud of the progress we’ve made here. We started with a blank canvas and zero followers.

I’ve written 1,101 articles since 2018, and our published word count is almost at 400,000 words! That’s a lot of writing. Over the years, I’ve endured all the associated costs with keeping this website alive, and I’ve provided some pretty amazing content. It was never about the money. This website was outlet for me, and I enjoyed it for that.

Before I decided to charge for content, I wanted to make sure that it was content worth buying. I believe my Big 10 college football weekly preview will be worth buying.

With so much focus, attention, and preparation going into this Big 10 college football weekly preview, there might be a decline in the production of astrological work, but that will only be for the duration of the football season.

I would still like to publish my bi-monthly Moon Scope articles, and so, that’s what I’m going to strive for.

I’m looking forward to the launch of this new project, and our anniversary on the 21st, and I hope you are too!

As you know, I love and appreciate all of you. Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and thank you for your support.
