Host A 42A Appendix 1 Why I Am Or Am Not One Of The Richest In the world
Start with how I shot my age in golf
ambidextrously—combining rare things
Rare thing one--
At a family reunion gold tournament we went around 9 holes
twice, taking the best score on each hole of the two rounds to get our final
score
Rare thing two—
I played one tournament with my old college roommate in
which we used big holes
Rare thing three—
Thinking we might need another player to make our foursomes
for the FUNFUNFUN part of a golf tournament at a family reunion, I practiced a
few rounds left-handed. Later I played a few rounds hitting both left-handed
and right-handed
So, after I recovered from a stroke, I played a round
combining all these, and at 74, I hot a 68. 4 birdies, 2 bogies, par 36.
I wanted to put this scorecard on the refrigerator, and
asked my wife ‘Who do you know that has shot his age ambidextrously?’
She replied, ‘Who would want to?’ [Note; She keeps a book of
family athletic achievements. Because they weren’t in the paper, my two
no-hitters, steal of home in fast pitch (delayed steal), 3 outs in 10 games,
etc. are NOT in the book. Neither is my dad’s 2 for 3 against Hall of Famer Bob
Feller, who won 5 games in the majors between his junior and senior years in
high school. Neither is my brother’s 6 straight home runs, followed by an
intentional walk with the bases loaded, followed by an 8th homer. Etc.]
Now move to riches.
Start with the rare 2009 purchase of a pizza order with
10,000 bitcoin.
Second rarity—
Bitcoin is now @ $50,000. 50,000 x 10,000 is 5,000 million,
or five billion dollars
A third rare thing—
I did not get a receipt for a $10,000 church donation (cost
basis).
Suppose the pizza order was $25 (a lot of pizza in 2009)
25 into 3,000 is 120.
Multiply 120 x $5 billion. $600 billion.

Host A 42A Appendix 2 Richest in world part 2
Rare thing 1—
While working at Post Office for decades, I could do my job
while listening to tapes (this was before
advances such as MP3) So I listened to James Jordan, among
many others, such as Rosenstock (www.erhfund.org
Jordan is an www.biblicalhorizons.com
‘Through New Eyes’ a seminal Jordan work is free online at
www.garynorth.com/freebooks
Rosenstock or Rosenstock-Huessy website is free and includes
audio and transcripts of Dartmouth lecture, and more
Rare thing 2—
I got pneumonia or Covid and was in intensive care for 15
days, forcibly retiring me
Rare thing 3—
During convalescence I was very weak, but got flashes of
ideas almost daily, so I worked in the universe of Jordan (he’s not responsible
for my errors) to produce ‘The Next Thousand Years A Prayer’ 1 should be soon
on Amazon. 1A is on Google Docs. 2 should be attached to something sent to a
few friends, 3 is what is done after this. It has 5 parts—supplemental to
church years, catechisms, etc.: 1—A Bible book a week, based on Jordan’s 49 at
‘Rethinking the Order of the Old Testament. I go backward (ERH ‘Out of
Revolution’ and re-retuned (Jordan’s Revelation commentary indicates that at
the pictured Ascension, 5:12 to 7:12, the universe is retuned, giving us our
days of the week:1234567 to 4152637 (planets and ‘gods’ thereof incorporated. I
re-retune, since Pentecost and A. D. 70 and flip (world turned upside down0 to
get 8531642, Hebrews to Exodus.
2—A liturgy through the year, from Resurrection to
Resurrection. After 10,11,11 there is an equivalency of Cleansing—confession
and forgiveness, with historical events of Red Sea and A. d. 70. Then
conversion of Constantine, Sinai, and Consecration (Readings and Sermon). Then
Communion as Totus Christus (2 weeks, Bread and Wine) as Full Conquest of
Promise Land and Conversion of Iceland. 3—Singing of each book (see ‘Singing of
Galatians’, etc.)
3—The 42s. We do 42 weeks, plus 7. Since
celebration.of.resurrection.anno.mundi (yes, a pun for ‘coram’ is face/presence
in Latin) to coram varies, sometimes the 42nd week is one book stretched out,
sometimes it is many book in one week.
4—Our response, a history of 42s. These are not necessarily
chronological. This is my 4th attempt, and since I am engaging 3 generations
and more, it will advolve—change toward theodicy. I was inspired by Jordan’s
view that ‘et’/’eth’ in the first sentence of Genesis included the first and
last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and secondly, his portrayal of chiasms in
‘Trees and Thorns’, and thirdly, his saying that a Hebrew letter was also a
word in ‘Rethinking…’ to use the consonants (they bigly count) of the first
word of the Bible, bereshith, B R SH T, to propose a chiasm of chiasms. House,
Head, Eat (fang), Cross. This is used somewhat in Acts 2:42, as Fellowship,
Apostles’ Doctrine, Breaking of Bread, Prayer. But my chiasm includes these,
such that history if the bruising of heels in Cross/Prayer, the meals (energy),
the head movements in liturgy plus encompassing thought systems—knowing that we
know, and finally, we end up with fellowship/house.
These advolve (change toward) respectively Full Final
Forever Fellowship, Full Final Forever Head/Body, FFF Feasts, FFF HumbleDing.
House/Fellowship would include Nisbet’s forms of society,
Hall’s 10x10 of society, the covenants in the Bible, the succession of ‘Powers
That Be’ to include Guilds, States, Other Empires, Bishops, Aristocrats,
Cities, etc. These will change. Head/Body would include various thought
systems, creeds and catechisms, and actions during worship such as confessing,
kneeling, singing, listening, etc. Idols. Eating would include energies,
Kardashev, General Purpose Technologies, etc. And Cross/Prayer would include bruising
of heels in million-death military battles, unknown unknown wars (subleties of
Adversary), Holy Wars the redeemed fight for maturity, etc.
I try to fill all 42, and apply them for each week, but K
now that the 42s will change.
5—Also will change the 12 small enthusiastic groups. We’ll
know more at A. D. 3000. This is based on Rosenstock’s ‘Universal History 1954’
course at Dartmouth, also at www.erhfund.org. He held that history was Tribes,
Empires, Israel and Greece, then after He Who Reversed The Trend, Greece became
a companion only, Israel without the exclusions became the Church for 100e
years (emphasis), then the nation-state, Empires without slavery, predominated
for the next 1000, and now we are in a transition to small enthusiastic groups.
I used ERH’s and Jordan’s 4 steps, in each of the 3 decks of the universe to
get 12. These are listed in earlier work. The first uses Maimonides’ 613 and
Greg Hartman’s 371 (‘New Testament Imperativity’) to illustrate/embody
Law/Imperative.
FINALLY, this is all ‘Jeremiah Time’ and JBJordan told me. I
have 3 parts: ‘The Next
Thousand…’ is his plot of land. Eschatological Evangelism
(You will be judged) is my jeremiad. I’m working on ‘for the good of the city’.
A one-room, one-teacher school may be my emphasis, as well as though optimistic
in the long run, some problems my arise with the transition, as they do with
all transitions. Gurri. Also see Madge Waggy on ‘How One CEO Is Preparing’
Overstock.
Bits of gold and silver. Ones and fives. 3 months of food for each employee. Old
and/or refurbished cars invulnerable to alleged EMP, run on 100% ethanol, as
Brazilian cars are + microgrids + TodmordenUK-like vegetable self-sufficiency +
community American History YouTubed with manuals, consulting, and membership
site would be good.
I am rich.
