God, Medusa and the Cheque
“Do I look like a kept woman?” “Silly goose, of course not,” said Alexander in a low voice, resting on the wooden Tudor chair considered to be the “thinking chair” of their household. “Is that money still troubling you?”

On a beautiful, crisp morning, Poe looks around his workplace at a fast food restaurant just to hear the furious roar of a luxurious car parking in front of the store. A suave man enters the store and heads straight for Poe, as he smiles at the customer.

“Why are you here?” *BLEEEEP* hears this question often. In hell, “residents” have a “sigil” - a personalized mark indicating the offense that got them there. Such as the drunkard with his head painfully crammed into a whiskey bottle.

My First Experience with Wicca and Witchcraft My study of witchcraft and Wiccan began at a young age around middle school. It was taboo AF to even mention reading about something like that in Southern Baptist Kentucky.

My spellcheck wants to be God. Apparently, it likes ‘God’ to be capitalized but not ‘goddess’. As soon as female gender is certain, divine capitalization departs. Bad spellcheck! Bad bad spellcheck! You are going to give feminists a complex! Stop it!

The crisp smell of bacon and fresh eggs hit his nose, reminding him that yet another day had come upon him. Feeling well rested, he pulled off his sheets, feeling the heat of the morning sun coming through the window hit his chest, his hair frazzled from the night’s rest. Stumbling down the steps, he hears his mother call in her usual chipper morning voice.

It all started with a $20.00 bill in March of 2004. My husband and I decided to walk to a hardware store that was about a mile away and stop at the nearby McDonalds on the way home. When we got there I realized that I was missing a $20.00 bill. I had put the money in my coat pocket because when I’m walking I don’t want to carry a handbag. I was distraught and my spouse pointed out that I should have put a change purse in my coat pocket.

It was time for me to go, not just go away for a little while but forever. I could hear the voices telling me that everything about my family was wrong and everything I am is going to change the world. Where would I even go? I felt hopeless that my family will never accept me as the chosen one, so I believed I was because the command hallucinations pretended they were Godlike and informed me that I was to become someone else. I kept a journal in a small black book to understand the delusions that were going on in my head that I could not control. I told my mom I was the chosen one and had to fight Satan. She looked at me with confusion and horror in her eyes. As my dad woke up from his sleep, he asked what I meant. I repeated myself, “I’m the chosen one and had to fight Satan from you guys” He looked at me the same way my mom did. Then, I knew they wouldn’t understand.

There are considerable logical conundrums when considering the classically divine attribute of omnipresence with the consequences of modern physics and I will discuss a few in these writings. I will start by defining what is meant by omnipresence and go on to discuss issues with omnipresence when considering the warping nature of spacetime. I will end by suggesting our description of an omnipresent being could remain intact by imagining God as a higher dimensional being and suggesting areas for further consideration.
To my dearest existential orphans,
Don’t ask me how I know this information, I may get to that someday but it’s decades of information and the overlap of having experiences, seeing other’s experience, spiritual teachings, developmental psychology, behavioral research, the study of human connection, and the way it all converges and intersects to generate existential information that no single source has pinpointed on its own without falling into the trap of ideology and collapsing what we nearly discovered.
