INKLING-Now that word really hits a nerve with me when thinking of God, religion, and spirituality. Of course the word means a slight knowledge, or understanding or insight of something. I listen to preachers of all types and religious backgrounds rattle on about human evils and/or demons. Unwittingly, without the slightest inkling of what they are really speaking of, they are describing exactly the “human condition”. They seemingly know not, nor care not, about how that “human condition” comes to be. As I have stated repeatedly elsewhere in my book, there is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, anyone nor anything that is not a perfect example of what it represents. Why is that? Simply because there are no two exacts of any entity that make up our gross universe. In the realm of quanta (tiniest particles of energy of which everything is made), I am lead to believe by particle physicists that each named unit (quantum) is, in fact, identical to its counterparts. My philosophy, of course, states that those particles were imagined by God’s Perfect Intellect, and created and made perfect and sustained perfect by His Perfect Will, the Holy Spirit; hence my proclamation that there is absolutely nothing in this universe that is not perfect in form and function. With that understanding, and recognizing that each person at any given moment is the resultant living consequence of all the foregoing consequences in his/her live, it should be readily recognizable that none of us is responsible for being the individual we are. Seemingly, preachers are, either not schooled in the psychology of personality development, or they choose to ignore it. If they truly were schooled, it would be scandalous for them to incessantly preach a cult of shame, guilt and damnation of their fellow man. My suspicion is that the average preacher has not the slightest inkling of what and how this universe is constructed, nor how it operates, but, more importantly, they seemingly have a lesser inkling of how human personality develops. If they did, they would be the most deliberately evil people imaginable for continually condemning us for simply being people; what God made (allowed) us to be. If they had the slightest inkling of knowledge regarding those matters, they would be preaching an attitude of love (acceptance); a spiritual unity among God’s children. Of course, that form of ideation would necessitate the relinquishment of their almighty power over our souls. More importantly, it would obviate our guilt- ridden obligation of filling the collection basket each Sunday with our hard-earned money. As a matter of acceptance, I suspect, at the least, the managers of seminaries have an inkling of that understanding, but in their quest for power, money and control, combined with their determination to expand their domains, they continue to plough us under. Jesus never suggested anything of the such. He told us explicitly to Love our God with our all and Love (accept) our neighbor as our self. Why? Because He had more than an inkling of knowledge and understanding about how and why each of us is the person we are; we all are equal; none more equal than another. My book addresses that and many, many, more such philosophical considerations. You can purchase it on-line at all major book vendors. thanks for listening today.

MISSING-Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
MISSING- What a beautifully appropriate word for our time, and for all times past. Just a casual glance at our world today as well as our world throughout history will expose one glaring reality. That reality is the fact that the one ingredient necessary for peace and happiness is woefully missing from our world -wide society. And what might that missing ingredient be? Plainly stated it is SPIRITUALITY. Likely, each of us has been inculcated to some degree or another with some form of religion and/or ideology. Each of those entities is different from all others generally and/or specifically. There is no singular uniting force to be found among them. For that singular reason, people throughout all ages have been divided against each other. The result is obvious; perpetual hostilities; wars, wars, and more wars. Those wars rage on in every conceivable form and fashion; nation against nation, ideology against ideology, religion against religion, and yes, sadly, person against person. Why? Because the one vital uniting force of Spirituality has never, ever been recognized nor employed by neither “the kings nor the peasants”. As far as I can determine Jesus was the only person to ever live who not only recognized but commanded that we accept that standard as our directing force. Sadly, throughout history it has been completely ignored by each and every religious and ideological leader. Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that the only pathway to happiness is LOVE. And what is love? Very simply stated love is ACCEPTANCE. Jesus, being the genius He was, recognized that each person is a specific individual unto itself with no possibility of anyone having a likeness. Jesus recognized that each person, and indeed everything in existence, carries the essential image of its creator. As such, everything is united by that common Spirituality, The Holy Spirit (Will of God). How is then possible that we as a human race have never, ever, even for one second, recognized nor honored that simple fact? The answer is very simple, SELFISHNESS. Ideological leaders seek to control the world to satisfy their selfish greed of POWER, MONEY AND CONTROL. Religious leaders seek to demean and control their subjects by preaching a cult of guilt and damnation. Why? They don’t “give a damn” about your soul. What they do care about is POWER, MONEY AND CONTROL. They tongue-wag continuously and continually about a “mythical God”. Likewise they stammer all over themselves about the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, God’s Will, Soul, Eternity and much more, without having even the slightest clue of understanding about that of which they speak. No one is allowed to attempt to speak definitively about anything he/she cannot define. Recognizing that massive ball of fallaciousness, compelled me to do something never before done, so that some meaningful rationality could be brought to our consciousness. I defined each of those entities specifically and definitively. I defined God in irrefutable terms; “God IS A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING”. The SON is God’s Perfect Intellectual Reflection Upon Himself and being supernatural is a living being. The HOLY SPIRIT is the perpetual LOVE (acceptance) between those two Perfect Beings; THE WILL OF God is their Perfect Acceptance of their Singular Perfect Intellect . SOUL is the essential Reflection of God’s Essence in everything. ETERNITY is a STATE OF BEING WITHOUT CHANGE. GOD, BEING PERFECT AND THEREBY INCAPABLE OF CHANGE, EXISTS IN ETERNITY. Peace is not possible without humanity recognizing and embracing the absolute fact that ALL are UNITED by the COMMON BOND OF A SINGULAR SPIRITUALITY, THE ESSENCE OF GOD. There is so much more that I have addressed in my powerful little book, Wilderness Cry-a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. It is available at all major on-line book retailers $10.95; Kindle-$4.99. I would strongly urge each of you to read it. This message must be promulgate and accepted world-wide for the sake of the preservation of our existence.Great forces are at work even as I write which are determined to destroy us. We must recognize the “missing” link and become united under one common banner, spirituality; we all are God’s children. We must recognize what that truly means and accept its’ command, SPIRITUAL UNITY.
Dominant-Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
DOMINANT-This word means most important, powerful, or influential. Today I am going to get right to the point, and that is to point out how post Nicene Christianity is the result of the most “dominant” forces in play at the time (325 AD and thereabouts). When one views the historical development of “religion ” and religious practices throughout the ages, we see one common theme, “astrology”. Historically, it began with the Egyptians, was instilled in the Jews through their captivity, and perpetuated through all known cultures until the time of Constantine and the 1st Council of Nicaea. Astrology was based on a scheme of ascribing godly names and attributes to various celestial bodies and constellations. Constellations were given names such as Aries, Aquarius, Scorpio, etc. These named constellations were arranged in circular pattern and sequence to represent various “ages” that the Sun (son) goes through from birth to death and eventual resurrection (rebirth). 12 named constellations were used to form the 12 ages of the Zodiac. The complete cycle was calculated to take about 25,000 years. Currently, we are in or near the “age” of Aquarius. When converted to a yearly event, whereby each of the 12 constellations represent a different month, it became knows as the horoscope; hence we say, each of us was born under the sign of so and so (Scorpio etc. ). Supposedly then, each sign is a dominant factor in our personality development. At the time of Jesus birth, Mythraism was the official state religion of the Roman empire. Jesus recognizing the fallacious views of the world concerning God and our relationship with Him began preaching a culture of “love” (acceptance). He saw himself and everything in existence as a mirror image of it’s creator. This was the gospel (good news), he told his apostles to preach to the world; “tell everyone the good news that I have died for you; you are forgiven of all evil. All I suggest is you love your God with your all and love (accept) your neighbor as yourself”. It is impossible to know for sure what the early Christians understood and how they related to that message, but one thing seems certain; by the time of John’s death. the Power Position of hierarchy was already established, and that power transfer from one individual to another was executed through the formal process of “laying on of hands”. Fast-forward 200 years or so and what we have is a dying out of Mythraism, and the beginning domination of Christianity. Christianity, however, was not organized. The most influential person in each community became s “bishop”. As such, he was sole authority as to what was to be taught and believed. As might be expected, because of all the mythology instilled into the process (no decisions were made without consulting the stars), literally hundreds of different versions of so-called Christian belief and practices sprang up. Differences in beliefs and understandings led to constant bickering and even fighting among the various factions to the point that Constantine, the Emperor of Rome could not adequately govern. Consequently, he convened a council at Nicaea. Reportedly, of the 1800 “bishops” in existence, only 280-325 attended; only 5 from the Western (Rome) church. The pope did not attend, but sent his delegate. Essentially, Constantine told the assembly he cared not what they decided, but they must come to a consensus, and that consensus would be the “official” religion of the Roman Empire. Any dissenters had two choices, exile or beheading. What eventuated was what the most “DOMINANT” group demanded. So the religion we were presented with was a completely self-serving, power structure from top down with total “Dominance” of our spiritual existence. It had no resemblance to Jesus’ basic simple teaching of “love”. It was a structure of dominance all for “POWER, MONEY, CONTROL”. It is without doubt that the theology developed and accepted by that council was embedded in astrological mythology. One has only to review early paintings of Jesus and Mary and take note of how each painting depicts their heads encircled with the Zodiac Sadly, it still is. The Zodiac is planted in stone in St Peters Basilica court yard in Rome to this day. Martin Luther, recognizing the innumerable abuses in and by the church, finally developed the courage to call the church’s hand and break away with his own set of principles. Regrettably, he did not recognize the basic flawed philosophy in Catholicism, only the power directed abuses. Consequently, he opened the door for every “TOM, DICK AND HARRY’ to formulate his own religion. As a result, as of 2014, there were 33,000 so-called christian religions in the world, and ,of course, each claiming authenticity. There are two basic Dominant forces in Christianity today, Biblical and Papal (and its’ mimickers). Not a single one of them, as far as I can ascertain, conform to the simple basic teaching of Jesus “love” Why? All for the original Domination of POWER, MONEY, CONTROL. I have published a philosophy book, Wilderness Cry-a Scientific and Philosophic Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. It explains all in simple, easy to understand terms. If you have ever had any doubt about your existence and/or your relationship with God, it is a must read. You will find total peace and comfort. No more will you be brow-beaten by preachers telling you how bad you are and that “hell” awaits. That blanket of guilt will be removed. You will see how and why Jesus absolved you of all guilt, and finally you will be able with a clean conscious to find “joy” in doing the simple things Jesus asked us to do; Love your God with your all, and Love (accept) your neighbor as yourself. Jesus resides in us all; we all are His children. His LOVE is the DOMINANT factor in our lives. He has guaranteed our salvation no matter how vile we may be. My book is available hard-copy $10.95 at Amazon and all on-line book retailers, and Kindle-$4.99. God has blessed us all. He is our “Dominant” through His Son, Jesus and their reflective common eternal Will (Holy Spirit). Your comments welcomed.
FORLORN-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
FORLORN- What an interesting word seldom seen in print. It generally means a feeling of sadness or hopelessness. I remember , as a small child, my mother reading to us a Zane Grey novel titled FORLORN RIVER. It was truly a Western Thriller that imparted many different moods to its readers (listeners); excitement, intrigue, happiness and eventual sadness. Some seventy five to eighty years later, I can’t remember the exact plot, but I do remember two distinct events in the life of the main character, Ben Ide. The opening line “HONK, HONK, HONK”; the sound of wild geese migrating awakened Ben to the days reality of traveling adventure. Migrating wild geese make a lonesome, sometimes eerie, sound as they wing their way southward in giant V-formation. Their seemingly half-hearted calls sound muffled and weary and lonesome; those effects created by their great height. Secondly, the books ending, which imparts a feeling of sadness, was deliberately created to cause readers to buy and read its’ sequel THUNDER MOUNTAIN. Ben had come to idolize Nevada, the book’s other main character, and he was deeply saddened to learn of Nevada’s departure. In many ways our lives take the twists and turns of a forlorn river. We have moments of exhilaration but also moments of doubt, worry, anxiousness, and fear; a general sense of uneasiness in our lives. Most of us have been schooled in the concept of a vengeful God who would do us eternal harm if we break His laws. Those laws have been painted for us in direct opposition to our God-given nature. That fact, of course, means that we are in constant sin and subject to God’s wrath. However God will show us “mercy” if we beg Him enough, but more importantly follow the dictates of one of the 33,000 christian religions in the world. Each one of those, of course, claims to have the correct formula for success. Each of those religions seemingly ignore the only commands Jesus gave us; Love our God with our all, and Love our neighbor as ourselves. The reason for that is simple; no power, money or control emanating from those two commands. Those two dicta bring us together through Love. Religion and ideologies divide us. You are encouraged to read my little book Wilderness Cry-a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and His Universe for complete elucidation of that and many, many more concepts. It is a complete philosophy of life. Amazon, Kindle, and all major on-line book retailers
VIABLE-WILDERNESS CRY- HILARY l HUNT MD
VIABLE- This word is used in so many contexts. In general it connotes the idea of ability to sustain life. That life may be in the form of cellular reproduction, or in the form of an idea or function. In the case of my book, Wilderness Cry, I believe the ideas put forth are “viable” because they are based on known science, history and sound logic. In total context, they represent generally a complete philosophy about God and how He operates in His universe(s). It describes in detail how we humans and all existences are evil by virtue of selfishness, but it also describes how we are completely exonerated by the death of Jesus. In delineating this philosophy, it lends credence to the concept of Gods perfection including perfect love. It is a must read for the serious minded who has ever questioned anything regarding his/her existence. Amazon, Kindle, and major on-line book retailers. Autographed from me $10 plus postage (handg@comcast.net).
TREAT-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
TREAT- This word of the day, as with so many in the English language, may be use as both subject and predicate (verb or action word). We, for instance, may hear someone say “I have a special treat for you”. Often such treats are in the form of sweets, but may be anything perceived as being special for you. The verb usage might be exampled thusly; “Don’t go in there. He will treat you terribly”. At the risk of being redundant, I will mention that I have written and published a book. Wilderness Cry- A Scientific and Philosophical approach to Understanding God and the Universe. This book offers you a real “treat”. I am allowed to say that because I “treat” the subject of God and His MO (mode of operation) in a way never before espoused. That treatment required a definition of God’s “essence”which, by its very nature, not only allows but demands a clear explanation and understanding of all the so-called mysteries in our lives. Now that is a “real treat”! It explores and defines in very certain terms basically all of our imponderables. Volumes could be written about each entity discussed, but that would have defeated my purpose. Likely, only the most studious would persevere through such verbiage. My book is short, sweet. and to the point in all considerations. It could, in fact, be considered almost synoptic in form. It is available Amazon, Kindle, and most other on-line book retailers. Autographed copies from me by request (email- handg@comcast.net). All comments and suggestions appreciated.
Conversation-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
Conversation is likely the most used mode of communication the world has known to date. It can be verbal or cyber, even mathematical. It can be general or specific, sign language or code, pleasant or hostile, just to mention a few attributes. It can even be one-sided as in a lecture if questions are allowed. I have written a book’ Wilderness Cry- A Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. In this book I am attempting to converse with you a philosophy of God and His mode of operation, which likely you have never heard before. I call it a conversation because repeatedly, I ask for any and all meaningful rebuttal. In actually defining God as “A Perfect Rational Being”, I am easily able to answer and define all the imponderable “mysteries” in our lives; The Trinity, God’s Will, Eternity, overview of the science of creation, the soul. I show that God is Perfect Love which means “acceptance without conditions”. In applying those principles to our daily lives and existence, I am able to show that because of our failure to recognize the basics of personality development, our legal system is way off base in administering corrective measures. Those measures should be more in the form of loving rehabilitation of our neighbor where possible, rather than punishment. Developing those principles allow me to show that ideologies and religion are the worst enemies of peace because they divide us by setting us against one another. On the other hand, love (acceptance) of neighbor as Jesus suggested unite us and promote peace. You might want to check it out. Amazon, Kindle and all on-line book retailers.
Communal-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
COMMUNAL: I suspect this word conjures up a variety of imaginary thoughts among readers. In general, I think it suggests a commonality of thought and/or existence. I want to concentrate today on “one commonality” of thought. Just simple casual observance will show, indisputably, how religion and ideology have created turmoil in society since the beginning of recorded history and likely before. Regardless of whether or not one believes in God or Christianity, you will be forced to admit the validity of one simple concept, reportedly, given to us by Jesus. He told us to Love our God with our all and Love our neighbor as ourselves. In His wisdom, He saw those dicta as uniting factors. He also recognized religion and ideology as dividing factors. If we as a world society could ever come to accept Jesus’ suggestions as our guiding principles, there would be peace. Absent that, peace is not possible. For complete elucidation of that and many, many more principles of our existence, I would encourage you to read my powerful little book, Wilderness Cry- a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. I believe you will find it intriguing and astonishing; Amazon, Kindle, and all on-line book retailers.
TORN-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
TORN-When I hear the worn torn’ I instantly experience a momentary “sinking feeling” in my chest; it matters not in what sense the word is being used. The word torn seemingly always expresses an idea of disruption of wholeness. That in itself creates a feeling of dismay and sadness. I suspect, in my case and likely most peoples cases, that reaction is based on a subconscious attitude about the descriptive meaning and implications of the word instilled in us at an early age. Generally, the reaction of sadness is justified. Some examples come to mind: it tore the family apart; the wind tore the roof off their house; recently, I saw photograph of two neutron stars colliding and being torn into pieces like a crumbling snowball (the event happened 13 billion years ago years ago shortly after the Big Bang): the temple curtain supposedly was rent (torn) into at the moment of Jesus’ death. Just a few examples—. That brings me to a subject near and dear to my heart, the gradual and most certain eventual demise (tearing apart) of Christianity. Many, maybe most, of you may shriek in horror at such a suggestion. However, if you were conversant with current and past events in Christian history, you may not be so horrified. According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, as of the year 2014, there were 33,000 Christian denominations in the world; each claiming to be the correct one; an astonishing number and growing. One has to only casually observe and notice a new church springing up “on every street corner”. The associated problem is simple; religion is a divider; I’m right and you’re wrong. Why do you suppose that is. I firmly believe the reason lies in the fact that no one, not even His apostles, knew who Jesus really was. As a result, when he died , all sorts of conflicting ideas arose in an attempt to satisfy preconceived ideas. As time went on, warring religious factions forced Constantine, emperor of Rome, to convene a council of the most numerous groups at Nicaea. He commissioned them to formulate one, singular church which became the official state religion; dissidents had two choices, beheading or exile. However, as human nature goes, the heretics survived, and were forcefully put down by government forces dictated by the church. Fast forward to Martin Luther; he had the “gall” to point out the abuses of the church. By breaking away from the main church, he set the stage for any and all to formulate their own ideas and form a new church. These new churches were predicated on individual interpretation of a book already so corrupted that no one could say with certainty what Jesus said or did. So now we have televangelists, megachurches, papists and the like hammering each word of that book, holding their listeners spellbound and captive; and for what reason? Power, Money , and Control. The one thing Jesus supposedly told us that makes sense is seldom ever mentioned; that being His two simple dicta to love our God with our all and love our neighbor as ourselves. Those commands are designed to unite us. Religion divides us. We are becoming so fragmented (torn apart), that soon each person who attempts to maintain some form of Christianity will be a religion unto himself. Likely, what will happen is what we are seeing now; church attendance is in steady decline. Why? Because the message is becoming less and less meaningful. The one meaningful message, love of God and neighbor is too simple; there’s no money, power, nor control to be extracted by that message. Sad indeed.
Miraculous-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
MIRACULOUS- This word is used in many different ways of intent. We often hear someone say “It’s miraculous how ——“. or “Its miraculous that he didn’t get killed—-“, and the likes. I suspect that, unwittingly, those speakers are drawing on an ill-defined idea deeply tucked into both their conscious and subconscious minds. By way of their indoctrination, usually religious, they have been led to believe that by Divine intervention, something “miraculous” happens; that means simply, if God had not intervened some disaster would have occurred. Of course, the implication is that God “plays favorites”; had it been someone else, God would not have intervened. Such ideation presumes that God is changeable. Lets just examine that idea and see if it has credibility. Would anyone argue against the idea that God is Perfect? Would anyone argue against the idea that Perfect means unchangeable: it can neither be improved upon nor detracted from? Would anyone argue that in order for God to intervene, He would have to “change” His mind? If he changed His mind, his perfection would be destroyed; He no longer would be perfect; He would be willy-nilly”. So philosophically and logically, true miracles are impossible. If we were capable of analyzing every aspect of every event, we would see clearly why the consequences we observe occurred. So we are forced to conclude that every event in this universe is the direct consequence of all foregoing consequences, not miracles. What is “miraculous”, to use the term very loosely, is God’s eternal plan which “allowed” for the consequences of the Einsteins of the world to appear. The greatest of those, of course, was Jesus. His intellect had to be in the Super-genious category; He recognized the universal evil of everything by virtue of its’ visible and demonstrable “selfishness”; He recognized that God made it that way, so His universe could function; He recognized God’s need for Perfect Love; He recognized that His soul and the soul “essence” of everything in existence mirrored its Creator. Since He was the only one to understand that concept, He recognized that He had to be the Messiah; the one to “pay the price” that all the evil in the universe could be expiated, and thereby assuring eternal bliss for all while, at the same time, demonstrating the Father’s Perfect Love, “acceptance without conditions”. He did so willingly but, being human, not without unbelievable fear and trepidation. That was a truly “miraculous” act. And what can and should we do? A purely intellectual response; “Thank You Lord God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit (will of God). Amen. For a complete understanding of this and many, many more concepts, please read my powerful little book, Wilderness Cry; Amazon, Kindle, and all on-line book retailers.
