Mark Twain - The Mysterious Stranger
“You are not you--you have no body, no blood, no bones, you are but a thought. I myself have no existence; I am but a dream--your dream, a creature of your imagination. In a moment you will have realized this, then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me.

In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever—for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!

Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago—centuries, ages, eons, ago!—for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities.

Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction!

You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks—in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier.

"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”

**"Mark Twain" Was/Is A "Pen Name" Of: Samuel Langhorne Clemens !!

**The Comte de Saint Germain ... Was An Alchemist ... Who Had Discovered The Way To Extend Life ... & Well As To Travel Through "Time" ... He Always Appeared As Himself ... Not Others !!

**Shakespeare Was A "Pen Name" Of Francis Bacon ... It Was He Who Wrote The "Shakespearean Plays" ... Which Were Of "Hidden Insults" To The Reining Power Of The English Throne Of The Time !! .... To Help Confuse Matters Further ... Villagers Were Involved ... Who Helped Change The Style/Penmanship Of The Writings ... So As The Real Identity Of "Shakespeare" Would Not Be Known/Discovered !!

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine

The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short!

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2
