EVOKE-This daily post word means to recall or bring to consciousness. We often us it to denote a calling forth or calling out. When confronted with this word, it immediately evoked a memory of the horrible atrocities committed over the centuries by organized religion and ideologies. The mental and physical torture imposed by those two entities is horrifyingly astounding. In the case of Ideology, always to maintain control and impose dictatorial rule. In the case of religion, always in the name of God. However, when one examines the historical content of those activities, it becomes obvious that the ultimate goal was/is the same as ideologies; power, money, control. The only significant difference is that one is civil dictatorship, the other is theocratic dictatorship. Awareness of that compelled me to express my ideas about God, the Trinity, Jesus, religion, and a host of other considerations directed at our existence in a powerful little book Wilderness Cry-a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. In this book I describe how I was forced to define God. So doing allowed me to easily explain all the so-called mysteries in our lives.

LOVE-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
LOVE-This word has been a long time in coming for my commentary; it may be the most misused and misunderstood word in the English language. We hear it used in so many different considerations. Some examples: ‘I just love her hair’, ‘don’t you just love that dress?’, we love to shoot firecrackers on July fourth’, ‘I met my first love at a high school dance’, ‘I just love chocolate pie’. The list goes on ad infinitum. All of those uses imply a sensual pleasure being derived from the ‘experience’, whatever that may be;auditory, visual, tactile, taste, olfactory, aesthetic, etc. My concept judges that those experiences should be categorized by the word LIKE. Granted, strict usage of LIKE imply something be likened to something else, such as, ‘she looks just like her mother’, etc. However, more common usage implies a sensual pleasure being derived from some experience of our senses. I believe the word LOVE should be reserved for the basic intellectual acceptance of someone. In other words, we don’t have to like someone nor what they do in order to love (accept) them. WE may, in fact, be obliged to hurt or even kill some unjust aggressor because we don’t like what they are doing to us. That does not mean we are allowed to not love them. Jesus, in His wisdom, saw the necessity of love of God and Neighbor if we are to have peace and happiness. He loved each of us and all creation in spite of our selfishness. He even died to pay the price for our iniquity. Religion and Ideologies set us apart and instill an attitude of hate among us, thereby making any likelihood of peace impossible. For those who don’t know, I have written a philosophy book on this subject; Wilderness Cry- a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe; available Amazon, Kindle and other major on-line book retailers. Comments welcomed.
PHILOSOPHY-Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
PHILOSOPHY-Boy! Did I just say a mouthful; a big word concerning as many subjects as there are ideas in the universe.. A philosophy is basically a set of definitive conclusions derived in a logical way from a set of known and/or presumed facts. If I were to diagram philosophy, I would put it in the form of a giant Christmas Tree. Each branch and/or sub-branch of knowledge is represented by an ornament. The most elementary subject ornaments hang at the very lowest ring around the tree. Each progressively higher ring represents the next level of expanded knowledge in any subject. At the very pinnacle is PHILOSOPHY (the star, if you will) atop the tree> Hence we say so and so attained a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in such and such subject. That means, of course, that each branch of knowledge ultimately attains the “known”, and reaches for and aspires to the theoretical unknown. What that implies is that using the known, we reason to the possibility of the unknown. Repeated experimentation with exact outcomes allows for the establishment of a scientific law. When speaking of moral, spiritual, and religious matters, the plot becomes thicker; the reason being the gross differences in what is accepted or even presumed to be fundamental truth. For instance, the great philosopher Thomas Aquinas was in gross error in his conclusions about male masturbation, and copulation with the woman on top. The reason for his error was not in methodology, it was in factuality. He accepted as fact the gross scientific error that “all babies were in the male semen”. Consequently, he was mandated to reason philosophically that those two acts were the worst sins that could be committed because all the babies would be spilled to their deaths. So, having such awareness makes it mandatory for us to be very careful in philosophizing too freely (without knowing the facts). In my case, I have written and published a Philosophy book regarding God and His universe. The book’s primary title “Wilderness Cry” represents my voice crying out for Truth from a wilderness of Ignorance, Deceit, and Arrogance. The secondary title- A Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe- represents my philosophy of how that is. It is my discovery of the truth and its’ explanation based on sound known facts and principles. The one caveat is simply that no one can either prove or disprove the existence of God. My one unprovable premise is the acceptance that “there is God”. My book shows conclusively how religion and ideologies have been used and twisted by knaves for self-seeking causes, and thereby have made, and continue to make peace impossible. My book pleads for unity among Christians and all peoples by the acceptance of the two simple commands (suggestions for peace and happiness) that Jesus supposedly gave us; namely, Love God with our all and Love our neighbor as ourselves. Love unites us; Religion and ideology divide us. If interested my book is available Amazon, Kindle and all major book retailers.
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
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.
Books-Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
BOOKS: Speaking of books, just a short note today. I would encourage everyone to read my powerful little book Wilderness Cry: not just because I want to sell books, which I do, but for its content. I believe you will be astonished by what you read. I give you a picture of God and His universe never before put forward. It is copyrighted material fully protected by Us Copyright. I do what no one else has ever done in my way; I define God, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit (God’s Will); I show in scientific and defensible philosophical terms how God works in His universe, and, more importantly, why. I touch literally all the important aspects of our existence. I show how religion and ideology have and still are destroying our world society, and are making real peace impossible. I plead for acceptance of Jesus’ two commandments of Love of God and Neighbor, which would unite us, rather than following down the road of destruction paved by religion and ideologies. It is a must read for your complete peace of mind. Available 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.
