I was on substack and happened to notice a repeated theme. There were lots of requests, written in similar sounding language, wanting newbies to send their writing to these popular influencers, so the smartiepants' could read, then encourage, and possibly promote, those that are hidden solo in the shadows of obsurity, that have yet to be discovered as brilliant and noteworthy. I think of all the scam artists that would tell pretty people, and sometimes rather unattractive people too, that they could be models. The only prerequisite to paid modelling work, was headshots, to create a portfolio for the scouts to put out there for the client. The prey were told they must pay for the photos, and for the services of the promoters, and voila, the grifters managed to bilk their unsuspecting quarry. The same thing is happening on substack I suspect, and why not? the criminally minded abound, and there is no safe haven from their insidious reach. 

I write blogs, and in 2017 I published one hundred stories in a book entitled Love Master. I have a couple of boxes of my book in a downstairs closet, but otherwise, they aren't in print. Over the years, I have had many a call from people eager to transform my printed work, into a movie: each call made me chuckle, and had me thinking: 

1. Now how would they make a movie out of a bunch of blogs?  

2. They have no clue what my book is about

3. I am on a calling list, dang it, how annoying

My name, my book title, are out there floating around in the ether, and I am a pigeon in the eyes of the wicked that want to make money off of my "talent". Man alive, I guess we all have to make our cash somehow, but I wonder how these spammer scammers can possibly feel good about themselves, when they spend their days dialling strangers, knowing that their end goal, is to trick them into believing fame and fortune awaits them, for a price.  

I think substack has been taken over by bots and needs a little clean-up. When the same message is posted repeatedly by "different" people that have hundreds of likes and follows, there is something amiss, something suspect, that requires investigation. 

Dear reader, how important is it for you to keep all pretending and posturing out of your personal and professional life? When I see Ai, I cringe, and then I consider how much further we as a global society, have travelled away from the sanctity of Truth. It makes me want to find a small town that hasn't any internet, where you pick your own non GMO fruit from trees, and uproot plants from mineral rich soil, and picnic by clear waters on a red and white checked blanket with ducks floating past, and dogs catching frisbees thrown by rosy cheeked, energetic, happy children. You know, the golden olden days, where summer acted like summer, and May felt like spring rather than the beginning of fall. 

Okay, I will stop my daydreaming, and make a request instead: resist all things that imitate humanity. Satan attempts to mimic God to win and woo people away, while bastardizing and twisting all he touches; his is the hand that animates those that want to replace you and I will fakery and fraudulence. He is a self-appointed god, and he hates us, to the point of wanting to annihilate all humans everywhere, and people haven't a clue what they are giving up, every time they give in to his ploys. We are not just losing money when we are deceived, we lose portions of our soul. 

Scripture states eloquently, what you and I cannot find words to express. I leave you with God's Word:

Colossians 2:8

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2 Timothy 3:13

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
