Fibroid Tumor
We have been asked what race is it in "The
Truth Is Here" that practices Islam and is compatible with
humans?" Well, the race isn't in "The Truth Is
Here." They didn't join The Galactic Community until several
years after "The Truth Is Here" was written. They were
known before then, but were isolationists, would have nothing to
do with outsiders. Suddenly a few years ago, they started sending
representatives to people and started trading with their
neighbors, applied for membership to The Galactic Community, and
were readily accepted. They're called The Faxins. Their bodies
are humanoid, they have five fingers and four toes. Their skin is
commonly tan but they have some that are pale. What differs them
from humans are their mouths and eyes. Their mouths are narrower
and longer. Their jaws protrude a little beyond their face. Their
eyes stick out beyond their ears in sockets. They can look
straight ahead, or even swivel their eyes in to get clear vision
of something extremely close to them, or swing them out so
they're looking to the side. This gives them a tremendous range
of vision, which was important for survival on their world.
They're a little shorter than humans, the average height is 5'
6" for the males, 5' for the females. But aside from these
small differences they evolved from a creature very similar to
those that humans evolved from. Nature always seems to repeat the
same patterns when similar ecological conditions present
themselves!
Well, here's the good news! Gerald's medical tests came back
pretty good. It's not the Lipitor that's causing the problems,
but the mild diabetes. The bad news is they believe Linda has a
fibroid tumor and surgery is probably going to be necessary. How
much surgery, they're not sure yet. We should know after the next
visit to the doctor. Of course this is going to cause many
difficulties because we can't even pay our bills now. We don't
know how long Linda will be laid up, and Gerald can do virtually
nothing without her. We'll have to see what we can put together.
This will probably be when somebody wants us to go somewhere.
Everyone in The Afterlife is extremely irate that we don't have
the resources yet to do our Work. We have so much to offer but
people reject us for the flashy and the entertaining. Our Work is
steady and true, but they want excitement. We're going to have to
get more "Here's Jesus!" together and get a bunch of
them put up ahead of time so they'll be available. Speaking of
"Here's Jesus!" Jesus suggested a very novel way of
solving our financial situation in yesterday's episode, that we
put a small amount of money in the bank and have it build up. And
then in the future, if they develop time travel, come back and
give us $600,000 to prove that time travel exists! If these
people show up now would be a great time for them to do so.
Someone was surprised that Kurt Cobain was in The Kingdom Of God.
Well, he's not. He's in a hospital in The Spiritist Republic, and
making a surprising recovery. The current crisis seems to have
forced many who were struggling to pull themselves back together,
literally! There are rumors that Cobain may do a concert with
John Lennon's new band, Beatles & Friends before the upcoming
seance for John. He's working on some new material, a little bit
milder than his old stuff. That is probably going to be an
occasion that will shut down a great deal of The Afterlife!
Anybody that isn't busy will be somewhere watching that
performance! The Kingdom Of God has so much power right now. If
They could just get people to use it! But we seem to be having a
great deal of difficulty accomplishing that.

No Sense Of Humor On Haven
Again and again people ask "How can a
society like The Havens evolve without any kind of fictional
entertainment?" People can't imagine a race without a
Shakespear or a Micky Spillane, or an Agatha Christie. How can a
society function without fiction, without humor? To some people
it simply does not seem possible. We can tell you, any type of
humor as it's practiced on Earth would not be acceptable to The
Havens! Human humor always degrades someone or, something,
attacks some aspect of society. The Havens would simply have not
been able to deal with it. If some production group had pulled a
stunt on someone like the things we see on t.v. the person
would've probably killed them and not been prosecuted. So
humiliating someone would've been totally unacceptable to the
Haven society. The idea of doing such a thing was simply beyond
their thought! It would not even be considered! Only an enemy
would do something like that to someone and you destroy an enemy.
Human society would have a very hard time understanding that.
They would say "Oh, it's just a joke! They didn't mean any
harm. Don't you have a sense of humor?" Unfortunately a
Haven would answer, "No, I do not." They would not be
able to comprehend this idea, at all. If anybody on Haven
produced a show like South Park and attacked the priesthood, they
would all be gathered up and burned alive with their wives and
children. You can understand why no one there ever even
considered starting a production like that!
The Haven culture was so different that humans would've had a
very hard time functioning in it, as Havens, who have taken on
human form and now live among them, have a hard time functioning
in the human society because much of what humans do is completely
contrary to their way of thinking, because literally, they had no
sense of humor!
