CORE: A word that will ‘knock your socks off’. It means, of course, the basic INTERNAL ELEMENT of anything. In the field of philosophy and/or religion, we have never had a purely defined core of our existence. Neither have we ever had a “clearly defined” definition of the essence of our Creator/Prime Mover/ Supreme Being. All the human race has ever been exposed to is biased OPINIONS, AND MYTHOLOGICAL IMAGES, concerning such a being. That realization forced me to wrestle with that TRUTH, and determine the essence of such a being. That I have done in no uncertain nor irrefutable terms. I have done something never before done; I have defined the “core essence” of our Supreme Being (SB), which goes by many names, the most common of which are God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, Brahma, Etc. As I read and study history, I have discovered many intelligent people who wrestled with the idea of God’s (SB’s) essence, but none were ever able to offer a complete definition. Humanity has always recognized the likelihood of a higher power, but because of ignorance of science, geography, and literally everything, none were able to attach a suitable definition. Each society visualized a higher power but the only capacity known to them was a “humanistic” type of being; one with a kingdom of some sort. We all know the innumerable stories concocted even thousands of years ago when the earth was flat and rocking on five crooked legs in danger of teetering in the netherworld below. With that core understanding, religion was born. All sorts of interpretations were applied to their everyday lives. Almost all required ‘sacrificial offerings’ of one kind or another; sometimes human sacrifice was deemed necessary as appeasement of an extremely angry God. We all know the rest of the story. The stars were the main ‘guiding light’ to understanding God and His kingdom. So fast-forward to today; what do we have? We have a complete earthly world totally divided into innumerable religious (cultist) practices, and all based on the same FALSE CORE of a humanistic type God (etc.). Christianity alone has been fragmented into 33,000 known denominations, each claiming authenticity. Likewise, Islam also is fragmented as is Judaism and Hinduism. I am not extremely familiar with the different divisions of Buddhism, however, anecdotally, there are different versions. Buddhists seem to be the most peace-loving, and contemplative followed by various Hindu divisions. In any event, all of the present controversy which has existed throughout all of history is due to one singular cause; failure to have an acceptable definition of the essence of our Creator. I have given that irrefutable definition: G0D IS A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING. That “essential” definition removes all the mystery from our lives and gives a definitive “CORE” from which to enlarge our understanding of that CORE INTELLIGENCE. Peace will never be attained without a common recognition and acceptance of the concept that nothing can exist without the imprint (brand) of that Perfect Intelligence being on it. That imprint I label as the Will of God (Holy Spirit). For that reason I have called for recognition and acceptance of the WORLD-WIDE COMMUNION OF SPIRITUALITY. That means that everyone must accept the concept that we all are the product of the same identical Supreme Being. Therefore, all are brothers and sisters. Why then are we constantly fighting?

REBEL- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
REBEL: This is a fitting word for needed action of the world-wide masses in a major peace offensive. The entire planet is divided immeasurably by what I consider to be irrational concepts of our supreme Being. Consequently, we are in a constant state of war and terror. We must submit to the idea that our SB is the same for everyone, regardless of what name we apply to It (a rose by any other name is still a rose). We must rebel against the idea that our God is different from your Buddha, or Allah, or whatever name we are accustomed to use. It is imperative that we become “rebels” against conventional religions which present us with a human-like Deity. Our Creator and Supreme Being (SB) is so much more than presented to us by all religions. Our SB is A PERFECT RATIONALO BEING which knows all and is ALL. Everything in existence is imprinted with Its Image and therefore is perfect in form and function. We need desperately to be at peace with each other if we are to survive. Please read my little book Wilderness Cry for better understanding.
FLAUNT- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
FLAUNT: Continuing our discussion about our Supreme Being’s (SB) Perfection, and the inestimable ramifications of that perfection, we are faced with an overwhelming landslide of biblical preaching and doctrinal teachings, none of which are in harmony with philosophical truth of “perfection”. Each preacher and/or priest flaunts his/her “twist” of so-called truth, while proclaiming it to be the only truth, and all the time demeaning each and every one of the other millions of preachers. And for what reason?—of course, to save souls. That reason in itself is disgraceful and sanctimonious, because the ultimate reason for most is to make money while maintaining and attaining control and influence over the masses. The unavoidable, irrefutable, unmistakable truth needs no elaborate edifice or dramatic purveyor for delivery. It only needs humble acceptance as Jesus preached–love our God with our all and love our neighbor as ourselves. Simple philosophical analysis shows without flaunting that the Spirit (WILL, IMPRINT) of our Devine SB must, by necessity, be present on every entity in existence—otherwise it could not be. Having that understanding shows us that everyone’s SB (Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, etc.) is the identical same ONE. As such we all are brothers and sisters–all are children of the same SB. So why are we fighting? Simply stated, we are fighting because of ignorance and a “selfish” lack of understanding. The result is continued chaos. One by one, more and more dramatic preachers take to the airways, megachurches, cathedrals, etc. flaunting “their wares”, but always extorting greenbacks from their entrapped viewers and listeners–“come into my parlor said the spider to the fly”. This activity, in my opinion, represents the greatest curse humanity has ever known—most likely will lead to our complete demise. Our SB ‘loved us to the death” through our brother Jesus. If His death was/is not satisfactory for our salvation, we all are doomed. I don’t think so. A concept of HELL is an impossibility. Our SB”s ‘Perfect Love’ means It accepts (loves) us without expectations. That is the “GOSPEL” (GOOD NEWS) Jesus told us about, and told His disciples to tell the world about—relax and be happy; I have died for your eternal salvation. Give thanks (Eucharist), and “Be Happy”. This is the massage that needs flaunting—regrettably, it wont be. If you have any interest in understanding this philosophy completely, please read my little book, Wilderness Cry—-Amazon, Kindle, et al. handg@comcast.net.
ABRUPT- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
ABRUPT: As promised yesterday, I will continue to develop my philosophy concerning our creator and supreme Being. The word abrupt is very apropos, because my philosophy demands an abrupt change of thought process and understanding. Consider this; if we define our Supreme Being (SB) as “A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING”, then we are committed to the concept that change of that SB is impossible. By its very nature, something perfect cannot possibly be changed; if so it would no longer be perfect. It can neither be pleased nor displeased. Also, It would no longer exist in Eternity, because change = time, and since there is no time in Eternity, change for our SB is impossible. Neither can so-called miracles happen at the hand of our SB; a true miracle would require our SB to change Its nature; there again requiring change. All the so-called miracles described in the bible and elsewhere, are by necessity either illusions or deliberate deceptions, or possibly misinterpretations of the facts at hand. Every event of every occurrence since the beginning of time is and has been the result of every preceding event since the original creation. Ignorant people in biblical and prehistoric times interpreted events in their lives based on unscientific perceptions (perception is reality). They had absolutely no scientific understanding of the universe in which they existed. To their credit, they tried but failed more miserably than a blind man looking for a needle in a hay stack the size of the empire state building. They conjured up ideas of an “ambivalent” deity (God). They assumed that when things were going well in their lives, they were ‘finding favor’ with this God. Contrarily, when they experienced failures and/or disasters, they automatically assumed that their God didn’t approve of their behavior and showered them with distress. They even went so far as to decide which activities (sins) God disliked. Of course all those activities were exactly what God had instilled in them in the first place (human-animal nature). They reasoned that their God must be appeased in reparation for their sins so as to escape more harsh punishment. Consequently. the world has been shackled with the idea of “sacrifice” in one form or another since. Here again, they and we (present-day people) still hold to the irrational idea that our SB can be changed. The ramifications of conceptualizing our SB as A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING—a definition which no one can refute—are immeasurable. At this point it should be noted for the billionth time that all the discord and wars the world has ever known have, for the most part, been prompted by religion and/or ideologies. Religion is the singular culprit. It is undoubtedly the largest “business” the universe has ever known. With 33,000 Christian denominations alone world-wide, and each calming authenticity over the others, there is little wonder discord escalates. This world desperately needs an ABRUPT change in philosophical understanding and acceptance of our SB if we as a people are to survive. If you care to know the full story, my little book Wilderness Cry, will lay it out for you in no uncertain terms. Amazon, Kindle, et al. To be continued.
OBSERVE- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
OBSERVE: Observation is one of the basic tools of scientific investigation. Typically, scientific experiments encompass three aspect; postulation, experimentation and observation. Today, I want to talk about a subject very near and dear to my heart, and that is the very nature of God, God’s Essence. I was raised in a very strict Roman catholic environment, having been educated to the hilt for nineteen years in Catholic institutions. In the beginning, I was taught Catholic Catechism as though it were arithmetic. It was instilled in me that God was somewhat schizophrenic in the sense that he loved me one second, but would send me straight to hell the very next second for infraction of one of His or the Church’s rules. As a young child, that was very frightening and disconcerting. As a juvenile, I began to notice that nothing we, either individually or as an entire community, prayed for ever materialized. When I questioned my pastor (priest) about that, he explained that it was God’s Will. From that time on, I began to sense that all the interminable praying and worshiping we were doing seemed to be a total waste of time and energy. As a married adult, I sensed that the Church’s attitude about sex in general, and birth control specifically was completely irrational. I listened to Sunday sermons with priests riling about birth control, divorce and sexual subjects ad nauseum. Also, I noticed a complete disconnect between what I was taught and the reality I experienced in real life. I could see clearly all the problems, but the solution eluded me. We were taught about the Trinity, a mystery not understandable; Gods Will; The Holy Spirit; even God, Himself, but no definition of the essence of these entities was ever offered. Finally, it occurred to me that God’s essence must be defined if rationality were to prevail in our lives. After years of study and contemplation, it finally struck me–I must and could define God’s Essence. No one before me had ever done so. Great theologians had frequently spoken of the essence of God, but none had ever offer a definition. By defining God’s Essence thusly–“God Is A Perfect Rational Being”, I was suddenly able to eliminate all the “mysteries” from our lives. I was able to define the Trinity in explicit terms. The qualities of rationality are two; an intellect which perceives and a will that achieves. In the case of a Perfect Intellect, what would it perceive? Obviously, something perfect if available. Since It is the only Perfect Thing in existence, God’s Perfect Intellect reflects upon Itself and what does It see? A mirror image of Itself, exact and Perfect in every respects (we call It the Son, the second Person of the Trinity). Since we are speaking of the supernatural, that Image is living; two Persons, one God. So then what choioce do two Perfect rational Beings, perceiving each other have except to accept (love, choose, will) each other? That perpetual “Loving Energy” oscillating between the Two in perpetuity, we call the Holy Spirit (Will of God). Since that energy (vision) between the Two carries the perpetual image of Its generators, It is identical to Them, the third person of the Trinity; three persons, one same God. In the next segment, I will elucidate the many ramifications of that definition. In the meantime, if you wish to see the complete picture in its entirety, you may do so by reading my little book, Wilderness Cry. It leaves no stone unturned in our spiritual, temporal and eternal lives. It applies to every human that ever lived and to every religion the world has ever known. It represents the ultimate summation of astute observation. So far, it has gotten nothing but rave reviews. Available Amazon, Kindle, and all major online book retailers.

VAGUE- WILDERNESS CRY- Hilary L Hunt MD
First off, I ‘d like to apologize for being absent so long. I’ll assure you it wasn’t intentional. Family duties have required my traveling out of town long distances the last two week-ends. In addition, what spare time I’ve had has been spent working feverishly in our gardens getting spring planting done for out community kitchen. The combination of terrible weather (cold, and wet) and obligatory travel has put a real cramp on our efforts, but we’re on top of it now. So, back to today’s word post. It occurred to me that the new testament is rife with vague references to Jesus activities, especially post-resurrection. I have pondered that situation for years before making some final conclusions. First of all, if we, as Christians, believe that Jesus ‘death atoned for our sins and guaranteed our salvation, then the “resurrection” was superfluous; we were saved by His sacrificial death, not by His resurrection. I believe, without reservation, that the resurrection story was concocted to satisfy the Jews’ preconceived idea that the Messiah was going to recreate paradise just for them. Therein lies all the vague, foggy stories told in all the gospels except Mark’s. You will recall, Mark wrote the first gospel, and it ends abruptly with the two Marys approaching the tomb of Jesus only to find it empty. One wonders what happened to the Roman guards. Why did Mark end his story there? My strong suspicion lies in the fact that the story-telling (fabrication) hadn’t been developed that far yet when Mark was writing. It was years later that Matthew and Luke sweetened the plot, and many years later that John’s writers added more to the story. I realize that what I am writing will “tick lots of people off”, because preachers and churches and religions of all sorts are making a fortune selling what I consider to be mythology. I have explained in explicit, scientific, historical and irrefutable philosophically sound terms why what I say is true. Mark was Paul’s companion. He knew that Paul had been told that Jesus was coming back to establish paradise. Paul thought that event was imminent; maybe tomorrow, because that’s what his informants (those whom he persecuted) related to him. Several years later, when the “second coming” had not occurred, Mark
“kicked the can down the road” several years by quoting Jesus as saying that the end of the world with His second coming would happen before the current generation (40 years) had passed. Well, it has been nearly 2000 years and no second coming yet. What does that mean? To me, it means that its not going to happen. God would have to change His nature for it to happen (not a chance of that). What it does mean is the idea of the Bible being the true inspired word of God is also a myth. The New Testament is nothing more than the continuation of the selfish ideation of the Jews in an effort to gain power, money and control. If it were the sacred word of God, and “dictated” by Him so to speak, there’s not a chance of it becoming so fragmented and distorted as it has. Consider this; there are 33,000 so-called Christian denominations claiming to be the correct one world-wide. My take is straight forward: Jesus did, in fact die for the salvation if the entire universe. His message of good news (gospel) to his apostles was to tell the entire world that they had been saved with no strings attached. They neither understood, nor wanted to understand. They selfishly only wanted paradise just for themselves alone and they wanted it now. That story had to be told and fulfilled. Hence all the vagaries in the “word”. If you have even the slightest interest in knowing the factual truth concerning these matters, you desperately need to read my little book Wilderness Cry- A Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. It contains not even one “vague” word. Amazon, Kindle, et al. All comments welcomed. handg@comcast.net.
Glimmer- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
GLIMMER- what a significant word to describe our chances for world peace. It means, of course, a faint light or insight. As we observe the world on a daily basis, what we see is constant bickering between ideological and/or religious group. Many of those bickerings escalate into outright war with resultant untold misery and death. All of those hostilities are generated by diverse views about a creator or lack thereof with resultant selfish conquest. The only path to peace is for the world to recognize that we all have the same identical Creator, call It what you wish (Buddha, Allah, God, Brahma, Yahweh, etc.). We must all come to the understanding that the image of that Supreme Being is imprinted on each of us. As such, we all are brothers and sisters. With that understanding, we may be able to come to a loving (accepting of differences) relationship, rather than the hostile one which pervades our societies now. Understanding that philosophy prompted me to call for acceptance of the World-Wide Communion Of Spirituality. It is our only glimmer of hope for promoting and maintaining peace. My little book< Wilderness Cry explains all in clear scientific and philosophic terms. My hope is for all to read and understand. Amazon, Kindle, Et Al. handg@comcast.net.
DISRUPT- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
DISRUPT means to interfere with the completion of an act or idea. It has utmost significance when considering actions and/or ideas aimed at promoting peace in our local, national and world societies. The disruption comes in many forms and shapes, but almost always has as its basis ideologies and/or religions. For instance, the world now seems to be divided between three basic economic ideologies. One, democratic capitalism, which promotes the idea that, as individuals, we may work and reap the rewards of our earnings while sharing some of those earnings for development and maintenance of essential services, such as roads, travel, defense etc. It also presumes a “good Samaritan” attitude, incumbent upon all, of freely helping the needy and unfortunate through supporting charitable services. Its opposite is socialism which presumes people not to be able nor competent to care for themselves. Therefore the wealth of those willing to work will be confiscated by the all knowing government and distributed to those who are unwilling or unable to work (forced charity) (redistribution of wealth).Of course, under the heading of socialism, comes a variety of “isms” of similar ilk. Thirdly are also oligarchies and Theocracies which are nothing more than dictatorships where the public has literally no say in how things are managed. GENERALLY SPEAKING, RELIGION OR LACK THEREOF of ONE SORT OR ANOTHER FORMS THE BASE OPERATING PHILOSOPHY OF ALL EXCEPT DEMOCRACY. Religion and/or ideology has been the basis of all wars since the beginning of recorded history, and the principle disrupter of any peace effort. My contention is that the root cause of all this chaos is failure of anyone ever to define their Supreme Being. Each world religion has as its basis its own deity, and each deity is different from all others. It occurred to me that in spite of what different religions might think, each is worshiping the same Supreme Being; there can be only one Supreme Being (a rose by any other name is still a rose). So, I did something that, as far as I can determine, has never before been done. I defined the essence of our Creator. By defining It as A PERFEFCT RATIONAL BEING, I am able to show that all deities are the same one (God, Yahweh, Allah, Brahma, Buddha, etc.). I am able to eliminate all the mystery from our lives. I am able to give a scientifically and philosophically sound basis for defining the Trinity, Holy Spirit, God’s Will, Soul, Eternity and much more. I am able to show that because of our Creator’s Perfect Love, any consideration of Hell is ridiculous and impossible. I am able to give the world a singular uniting force, love, rather than the perpetual disrupting force of religions and ideologies. I would strongly encourage each of you to read my little book. I am certain you will conclude it to be the most enlightening experience of your lifetime. I apologize for my late post but I have been extremely busy getting my gardens planted in support of our local Community Kitchen here in Paducah, KY, USA. Our kitchen feeds 300 or so indigent people a hearty, healthy free lunch five days weekly, and give most free supplies to use at home on weekends. My wife and I supply them with bushel after bushel of fresh, homegrown vegetables, including cabbage, potatoes, bell peppers, banana and jalapeno peppers, snap beans, cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes and sweet potatoes annually. It is our way of living out the only dictum Jesus gave us: Love your neighbor as yourself. Once you read my little thesis, you will have a clear understanding of that principle. Love is the only uniting force in the universe that can promote peace. We must show that love by example. Recognizing that each person in the world is imprinted with the same identical spiritual “brand”, prompted me to call for recognition of the World-Wide Communion Of Spirituality. As such we all are brothers and sisters. Won’t you join me in that recognition wherever you are in a peace promoting effort? My book, Wilderness Cry, is available Amazon, Kindle, Et Al. All comments welcomed. handg@comcast.net. Let’s break up the disruptive force of hatred fostered by religions and ideologies. Only through grass-root efforts can it ever be accomplished; never from top down.
Luminescent- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
Luminescent means the ability to produce light by biological or chemical means. The fire-fly (lightning bug) does just that through the process of phosphorescence. Would it not be wonderful if humanity could come to a common understanding and to a state of perpetual luminescence through the process of LOVE. The word love sounds so simple, mundane, and trite. However, as simple as it may seem, it possibly is the most difficult object to achieve. It’s difficulty arises from it’s base definition which is “acceptance”. Jesus gave us two commandments; Love God with our all and love our neighbor as ourselves. He knew full-well that no human could ever achieve it;, only God has PERFECT LOVE (love without conditions). However the more we strive for perfect love. the happier we will be and the more we will be at peace with our neighbor. As a mater of principle, it is likely that most Buddhists never heard of Jesus. However, they practice just that principle by trying to see an eternal existence in everything, including their neighbor. My understanding is similar for Hinduism. How is it that Judaism, some sects of Islam and seemingly most Christianity still ascribe to the principle of ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’? I have concluded it originated in the selfish concept of Power, Money, and Control generated by a hierarchal religion and hasn’t let up, yet. In fact Christianity alone is splintered into 33,000 different denominations, each grappling for a “piece of the pie”. The base premise of such religion is inconclusive and incomplete; therefore, the end result would be anticipated to be chaotic as observed. No one before me has defined the ‘essence’ of God. Philosophically, we are not allowed to attempt an in- death discussion of any entity which we cannot define. I have defined the ‘essence’ of our Supreme Being (God, Allah, Yahweh, Brahma, Buddha, etc., and in doing so, am able to resolve all the so-called mystery in our lives. I have shown that God’s perfect love is the luminescence the world needs to recognize for the sake of peace. Only through love (acceptance) of our neighbor, worldwide, may be peace attained. Therefore, I have called for recognition an acceptance of the World-Wide Communion Of Spirituality. It is our only way to peace. Please refer to my little book, Wilderness Cry for complete explanation and details. Amazon, Kindle, Et Al. handg@comcast.net. Let our ‘love” be the luminescent force in all the universe!!!!
RUSH- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
Rush means to act in a hurry, typically implying action without deliberate thought or preparation. It is exemplified routinely in the everyday activities of most people. Seemingly, there are not enough hours in a day to comfortably accommodate our desired or required activities. Hence, we frequently act without adequate preparation, and oftentimes with undesired and/or disastrous consequences. Anyone seen acting slowly and deliberately might be considered slothful or even lazy in todays hustle and bustle climate. However, the old saying “haste makes waste” still applies, maybe now more-so than ever. We have so many more “tools of distraction” such as cell phones, lap-top pc’s, in-auto video players, etc., and, more importantly, they are being used in faster “tools of destruction”, automobiles, by people in way too big of a rush. All too frequently, both lives and limbs are lost forever. An average of nearly 40,000 lives are lost in automobile crashes in US annually. Of course, not all are due to rushing. Many are related to drug and alcohol misuse. Those stats are alarming and disheartening, to say the least, but they pale in the face of the number of friendships lost, and reputations ruined by the “rush to judgement” about someone or their activities. Sadly, those perpetrating those atrocities frequently are “good church going” people. How is that possible? I have a theory by which to explain that malady. I am impressed by how religion in general perpetually scorns people by telling them constantly how sinful and bad they are. That perpetual demeaning sets up inner feelings of guilt, anxiety and/or hostility. Without their even realizing it, people automatically feel they can exonerate themselves by making someone else look bad/worse. It’s an innate psychological ploy. It’s as “old as the hills”; starts in the book of Genesis, and ends with Apocalypse. There’s only one place in the Bible where we are given “explicit” directives for code of conduct, and that place typically is ignored by every preacher on earth. That place is in Mark’s Gospel where Jesus gives us two specific commands which encompasses all others; Love your God with your all, and Love your neighbor as yourself (paraphrased). The reason those directives are ignored by preachers is simple. Those directive are in no way demeaning. Without being able to demean you and threaten you with eternal torment, preachers would have no hold on you; they would no longer be able to extort your hard-earned money. You wouldn’t need them to show you how to love, although an occasional reminder wouldn’t hurt. The point is, there’s no Power, Money, nor Control in Love. So my advice to you is this; ignore your preacher’s condemnation; concentrate on God’s eternal, Perfect Love. Rush not to judgement about anyone nor anything. Your life will be filled with joy and peace. If you would like a complete elucidation of my irrefutable philosophy, calmly go to any major on-line book retailer and order my little book, Wilderness Cry- A Scientific And Philosophical Approach To Understanding God And The Universe. Its only $10.95; it will be worth millions to you. All comments welcomed. handg@comcast.net.
