7.3.12: mobi`rationale

intro

. seeing "(mobi) as {mob, i} reminded me that seclusion was jc`s way
of casting out his own demons,
so then I checked a ref'' to find what others thought of solitude and self-employment

7.5.22: mobility is a holy thing

. there is no solitude without mobility;
and in the Bible, the hebrews had a mobile temple (a tabernacle)
as a temporary shelter for the Word during exoduses
. in the holy city of revelations 21 --  noted as having no death or pain --
there is a permanent tabernacle along with no sea
. the most significant sea in the jewish literature is the red sea,
where there was made no sea just long enough for them to
escape the egyptians enslaving them .


solitude: it's not just for devils

Lord Byron `Childe Harold's Pilgrimage 1818:

"( In solitude, where we are least alone. ) .

Edward Gibbon`Memoirs of My Life 1796:

"( I was never less alone than when by myself. )

Henry David Thoreau `Life in the Woods/Solitude 1854:

"( I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. )

Michel de Montaigne`Essays (1580-1588):

"( A man should keep for himself a little back shop, all his own, quite unadulterated,
in which he establishes his true freedom and chief place of seclusion and solitude. ) .

jesus christ(kjv`{John#{3.3, 4.34}, Luke#17.20}):

"(  My meat is to do the will of him that sent me,
and to finish his work.
. neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
. except a man be born of water (flesh)
and of the Spirit (spirit), -- born again --
 he cannot enter into -- see --
the kingdom of God.  ) .

solitude as reclusive

Francis Bacon`{ Essay"Of Friendship 1625, De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum 1640}:

"( . Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
. The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship ) .

Francis Kilvert 1871:

"( It is a fine thing to be out on the hills alone
. A man can hardly be a beast or a fool alone on a great mountain. ) .

Stendhal`Love/Miscellaneous Fragments 1822:

"(  One can acquire everything in solitude
 except [/]character [an actor] )

Charles Dickens` The Pickwick Papers 1837:

-- Mr Pickwick, and Mr Snodgrass:
"( 
"(It's always best on these occasions to do what the mob do.)
 "(But suppose there are two mobs?),
 "(Shout with the largest),
) .

Adrian Mitchell `Loose Leaf Poem 1971:

"(  I want to be a movement
But there's no one on my side. )

William Wordsworth` The Prelude/Childhood and School-Time 1799:

"(    I was taught to feel,  perhaps too much,
   the self-sufficing power of Solitude )

--. the neglected and the unparented are not the only ones mistaught:
. when john the baptist wondered if jc(jesus christ) was The One,
jc responded by citing a list of usually impossible miracles routinely happening in his presence,
among them:
"( the poor have the gospel preached to them )
. my interpretation of that was:
the painfully poor are taught to love self only by being taught
that it's the gospel (the federation`s word) that is keeping them down,
not their own need to either stop reproducing, start making connections,
or start invading somewhere else .

W. B. Yeats`The Rose/The Lake Isle of Innisfree 1890:

"( I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade. ) .

jesus christ(kjv)`rationale for solitude|self.employment:
Matthew {6:24, 11:4-5, 12:50, 13:57, 18:5-6, 22:14, 25:29-30}:

No man can serve two masters
-- God [the neighbor as self, receive the children, give to the poor]
and mammon [worldly wealth, the neighbor judged] --
for he will hate (despise) the one,
and love (hold to) the other .

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
...
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them,
A prophet [messenger of god] is not without honour,
save in his own country, [who expect truth-quieting respect for powers]
and in his own house. [who expect listening-only respect for elders]

. whoso shall offend one of [the children] [should drown himself]
--[reminds me of:
. where do kids pick up that language? bad telepaths that should be seeking solitude! ]

For many are called, but few are chosen
--[ self-employment is often the only solution to chronic under-employment ]

For unto every one that hath shall be given,
and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
--[ the employed are being unprofitable unless preparing to either
working for promotion to a high-demand position,
or saving for education to get promoted,
or capitalizing a self-employment venture . ]
