Meme Scholar with Madness (PhD)

[EndtheMadnessNow]

November 8, 1342: Julian of Norwich was born according to some scholars but this date is highly controversial. Most literature states late 1342 or early 1343 during the Black Death plague running rampant. Her real name is unknown and very little is known of her life aside from her writings. Her book, Revelations of Divine Love is the 1st known book written by a woman in English. Julian was largely unknown until 1670 when her writings were 1st published.


Julian of Norwich was the first English woman to ever publish a book. It was a religious book called Revelations of Divine Love, which she wrote in 1393. She was a special kind of mystic, known as an anchoress. Her writings are also the only surviving English-language works by an anchoress.

In Christianity, an anchorite or anchoret is someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic, or Eucharist-focused life.

Julian's writings indicate that she was born in 1343 or late 1342, and died after 1416. She was six when the Black Death arrived in Norwich. It has been speculated that she was educated as a young girl by the Benedictine nuns of Carrow Abbey, as a school for girls existed there during her childhood. There is no written evidence that she was ever a nun at Carrow.

From the time these things were first revealed I had often wanted to know what was our Lord's meaning. It was more than fifteen years after that I was answered in my spirit's understanding. "You would know our Lord's meaning in this thing? Know it well. Love was His meaning. Who showed it to you? Love. What did He show you? Love. Why did He show it? For love. Hold on to this and you will know and understand love more and more. But you will not know or learn anything else – ever."

Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love

Julian of Norwich is now recognized as one of England's most important mystics; according to Leyser, she was the greatest English anchoress. For the theologian Denys Turner the core issue Julian addresses in Revelations of Divine Love is "the problem of sin". Julian says that sin is behovely, which is often translated as "necessary", "appropriate", or "fitting".

No idea how true this may be, but it makes me feel damn good! Good for a laugh.


FBI brass ‘stunned’ and ‘shell-shocked’ over Trump reelection

The capstone of the fitness program is the "Yellow Brick Road", a 6.1-mile run through a hilly, wooded trail built by the Marines.

Basically, like the SES boys aka "the untouchables" who cannot be fired which is what Trump was trying to eradicate (drain the swamp) through Schedule F.


For those hardcore woke leftists wondering why the country broke so hard for Trump, this Pat Buchanan quote is perfect:


Americans are tired of that, and the Reconquista of our country has begun. After that is done we do the same in the UK. It all sounds of joyous celebration, but I'll start maybe believing some of it pending ACTIONS after Jan 20, 2025. In the meantime I'll keep on dreamin.
