Whoa, lasers are coming out of the crucifix!

I don't know why I happened to remember such a thing, but when I looked at the calendar this morning, it occurred to me that today would have been the 99th birthday of the late great Gene Ray, commonly known as the Greatest Thinker and Wisest Human, the discoverer of Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous Four-Day Time Cube. Rest in power, Dr. Ray.

He's remembered as a net.kook, of course, but I've always believed he had a genuinely good soul, and I like to imagine that since passing he's found his way to "sun-up."

These passing reflections on the Greatest Thinker and Wisest Human were reinforced a few hours later, when in my daily scripture reading I happened to read two references to how Abram/Abraham was "ninety years old and nine" (Gen. 17:1, 24). These are the only two references in all of scripture to that particular age.

Thinking about Dr. Ray made me think of the "16 Wise Insights" video, by one of his disciples:

Whoa, lasers are coming out of the cars!

Whoa, more lasers are coming out of the cars!

As though the cars are laser machines that fire lasers at will, as though they had revolted against their very purpose of driving on roads and have elected laser projection as a preferable aim, they are emitting a lot of lasers!

And that reminds me of something I meant to post a couple of days ago but forgot. This past Tuesday, I read this in Stories from the Messengers:

A particularly radiant canvas from 1847, Stigmata of St Francis by Bartolomeo Della Gatta, shows a beautiful barn owl looking away as St Francis gets zapped by the floating apparition of Christ on the cross. There is something so bizarre about this image, I mean, there are thin little laser beams shooting off a glowing crucified Jesus hitting each point of stigmata on the saint.

Here's the painting he's referring to:

Later that evening, I saw this on AC. It also appears at first glance to show a laser beam coming out of a crucifix.

I looked up St. Francis and discovered that, although he died on October 3, his feast day is October 4. I recently posted about this pair of dates, in "October 3 and 4, and white crows" (June 20).
