by Michael Snyder, October 14th, 2020
Many Americans believe that another wave of the coronavirus pandemic is coming, others believe that our ongoing economic depression will get even deeper, and yet others are convinced that the upcoming election could produce widespread violence. Of course there have always been people that have been deeply alarmed about future events, but we have never seen anything quite like this. In fact, a brand new survey has found that over half of all Americans are currently planning “to stockpile food and other essentials”…
Slightly more than half of Americans in a recent poll from Sports and Leisure Research Group say they already have or plan to stockpile food and other essentials. The chief reason: fears of a resurgent pandemic, which could lead to disruptions such as new restrictions on businesses. On Oct. 2, the number of COVID-19 cases in the USA was its highest in almost two months.
People still remember the shortages that we witnessed earlier this year when the coronavirus pandemic first erupted in this country, and those that ended up being stuck at home without enough toilet paper would rather not repeat that experience.
So as the mainstream media continues to hype a new wave of the pandemic, we should expect to see Americans hitting the grocery stores really hard. And according to data company Envestnet Yodlee, there is evidence that this is already happening…
Already, there’s some evidence that grocery sales are rising, according to data from industry sources. The typical bill for a trip to the grocery store rose to $72 for the week ended October 6, or 11% higher from the week before, according to data company Envestnet Yodlee. “That’s the highest we’ve seen since the first week of June and the second-highest since we started tracking this in January,” said Bill Parsons, group president of data and analytics at Evestnet.
Fortunately, many grocery store chains anticipated a spike in demand in advance and started stocking up ahead of time. The following comes from CNN…
Grocery stores across the United States are stocking up on products to avoid shortages during a second wave of coronavirus. Household products — including paper towels and Clorox wipes — have been difficult to find at times during the pandemic, and if grocery stores aren’t stocked up and prepared for second wave this winter, runs on products and shortages could happen again.
During a time when other retailers all over the nation are failing at a pace that we have never seen before, many grocery store chains are actually experiencing booming sales.
And of course I have been warning that this would eventually happen for a very long time. During a time of crisis, demand for food and other essentials tends to go up and demand for non-essential items tends to go down.
Needless to say, this is something that is not just happening in the United States. All over the world we have seen demand for food on the rise, and this comes at a time when global food production has become increasingly stressed.
As a result, food prices all over the world are starting to escalate quite aggressively…
Food prices continue rising during the coronavirus pandemic, jeopardizing food security for tens of millions worldwide. On Thursday, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations said world food prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in September, led by surging prices for cereals and vegetable oils, reported Reuters. FAO’s food price index, which tracks the international prices of the top traded food commodities (cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat, and sugar), averaged 97.9 in September versus a downwardly revised 95.9 in August.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
Global food supplies will continue to get even tighter, and global demand for food will just continue to shoot higher.
So I would stock up while you still can, because prices will never be lower than they are right now.
Meanwhile, our society continues to unravel right in front of our eyes. You would think that the Lakers winning the NBA title would be a time to celebrate for the city of Los Angeles, but instead large crowds of young people used it as an opportunity to riot and attack police officers…
A crowd of more than 1,000 revelers descended into the area around Staples Center after the game. Unruly individuals mixed within the crowd began throwing glass bottles, rocks, and other projectiles at officers. That is when an unlawful assembly was declared, and only a limited number of people complied and began to disperse. A larger portion of the group broke off and began vandalizing businesses while continuing to engage in violent behavior, some aimed at responding officers.
In Portland, protesters just toppled statues of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln during a “day of rage”, but the mainstream media didn’t seem to think that this was any sort of a problem.
And in the middle of the country, the violence never seems to stop in the city of Chicago…
Five people were killed and 48 others were injured by gunfire this weekend in Chicago. Five of those wounded were teenagers. Last weekend saw 37 people shot throughout the city, five of them fatally.
Of course things could soon get a whole lot worse.
According to one recent survey, 56 percent of all Americans expect “an increase in violence as a result of the election”.
Isn’t that incredibly sad? Many are still hoping that such a scenario can be avoided if one of the candidates is able to build an extremely large lead on election night. A large enough lead could potentially cause the candidate that is behind to concede fairly quickly, and that may ease tensions. But I wouldn’t count on that. At this point we are about 500 hours away from the election, and both sides are indicating that they are prepared to fight until the bitter end. And the side that ultimately ends up losing is likely to throw a massive temper tantrum, and that won’t be good for our country at all. So it makes sense that so many Americans are making extra preparations for the months that are ahead, because it definitely appears that they could be quite rocky.

Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-27--The Democrats’ Abuse of Children in 2020

( Parker Beauregard ) In a single year , Democrats have abused more children than all of Epstein ’ s Orgy Island would have in one hundred .
Epstein was going to serve life behind bars for crimes against potentially hundreds of young people ; what will happen to Democrats that continue to destroy the innocent lives numbering in the millions ?

As bad as Cuties was , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few girls whose lives were already in the decline , given that they are growing up in homes with parents who think it ’ s acceptable to sell them off to the highest sexual bidder .
That Democrats celebrate this as art and can then accuse Amy Coney Barrett of being a bad mom should repulse every parent .
The real abuse has come from the Democrat ’ s response to the coronavirus .
As of this writing , the CDC has released data showing that the survival rate for those between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forbid any child is struck down by this mystery illness , but to live in a perpetual state of paralysis from coronavirus concerns belies the ease of which parents , and society as a whole , accept tragic losses in every other form .

The data is clear and conclusive : Our children , especially those of lower socioeconomic status ( black lives matter , right ? )
, are hurting right and we can ’ t even begin to comprehend the lasting damage this is being done to psyches and mental health .
For example , according to an ABC news report , ” The consensus of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Psychiatry ( AACAP ) and American Psychiatric Association ( APA ) is that they generally support the CDC ’ s push to reopen schools for the sake of children ’ s mental and developmental health.
” We were told to believe the experts , right ?
The article continues , noting “ [ e ] xperts agree that school has a tremendous influence on a child ’ s health and well-being .
Extended school closure can be very harmful to children ’ s learning and the development of social skills.
” In terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter in all cases , “ [ m ] ental health experts are especially concerned about the vulnerable population , including children with emotional , learning , and physical disabilities , as well as those in foster care or poverty , and for whom English is a second language.

We are trying .
The NPR story goes on to note that a “ new study in JAMA Pediatrics…documents elevated depression and anxiety among children under lockdown.
” Scary , but not surprising .
And , as if this mental health abuse were not enough , this same doctor identifies that child abuse is on the rise since schools , which , since they employ mandatory reporters and are often the only contact an abused or neglected child might have outside the home , are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or neglect.
” Even as far back as April , Psychology Today was already finding that the lockdowns were having a negative and detrimental impact on young people .
It found that “ [ s ] tudies so far indicate that the pandemic could have negative effects on children ’ s physical and mental health , and yet parents do not have the appropriate mental health or counseling skills to help their children or themselves.
” Imagine what five – and counting – additional months are doing to the emotional state of children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to routine lifestyle , psychosocial stress caused by home confinement or isolation could further exacerbate the harmful effects on the child ’ s physical and mental health.
” In April as well , Lancet , the world-renowned medical journal , was already noticing the effect of mandated lockdowns and stay-at-home orders on the mental health of individuals , especially those with identified conditions .
Their research found that , of the over 2,000 patients in their cohort , “ 83 % said the pandemic had made their conditions worse ” and “ 26 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mental health support.
” It should be assumed that conditions only deteriorate over time .
If these figures represent peoples ’ wellbeing in April , what is the cost that has been paid as we enter October ?
Prior to the forced closure of society in response to a virus , young people were already struggling .
Mental health crises were reported like never before ; this has only made it worse .
If Democrats force these lockdowns on us , which singularly multiply the cases of mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached that they aren ’ t responsible ?
Blue state governors , as well as the cult of leftist media and celebrity personalities , that try so hard to shame good people for wanting to return to much-needed normalcy deserve our anger .

Nothing fired up decent people like Netflix’s release of Cuties, and despite the outrage, it remains available to stream. Sure, they might lose a few subscribers for the pornographic and despicable portrayal of prepubescent girls, who, according to the film’s IMDB parent guide, consume and mimic porn, take photos of their genitals, dance suggestively, and perform all sorts of lascivious acts that warrant a suggested R rating. As one commenter at Townhall noted, if this content were anywhere else other than Netflix, say on one’s personal computer, there would be police knocking down the door.
As bad as Cuties was, at least the damage was contained to a few girls whose lives were already in the decline, given that they are growing up in homes with parents who think it’s acceptable to sell them off to the highest sexual bidder. That Democrats celebrate this as art and can then accuse Amy Coney Barrett of being a bad mom should repulse every parent.
The real abuse has come from the Democrat’s response to the coronavirus. As of this writing, the CDC has released data showing that the survival rate for those between the ages 0-19 was 99.997%. God forbid any child is struck down by this mystery illness, but to live in a perpetual state of paralysis from coronavirus concerns belies the ease of which parents, and society as a whole, accept tragic losses in every other form. The toll on mental health is incalculable. The fear around this specific threat is also unprecedentedly unusual.
Consider, for example, that approximately 1,800 children die each year in automobile accidents and another 700 are killed when struck by a car in a pedestrian situation. Do we ban the transportation of young people? Another 1,000 children die from drowning. Do we make pools, lakes, and oceans illegal to enjoy?
And those are just deaths. Recreation is a minefield of potential harm for our cherished children, but we would never consider removing all elements of play from their lives. Estimates for just two winter activities alone are scary; 33,000 annual sledding injuries and 50,000 skiing injuries send our tykes to the emergency room. Every parent can recount the dozens of other ways their offspring experience a dreadful or scary incident. Democrats are also silent when it comes to the approximately 150,000 toy-related injuries children suffer each year. Do we outlaw fun and games?
Perhaps most poignantly, they have never before suggested that society shut down in response to the, admittedly undercounted, 200 annual flu deaths for those under the age of 17. Democrats and their indoctrinated followers constantly tell us rubes that coronavirus is not like the flu; they’re right, it’s less deadly.
In response to this natural biological event, the Democrats’ response has been endless and harmful lockdowns. Schools in particular have been emptied, both out of the irrational fear of many teachers (who, by no coincidence, are overwhelmingly Democrats themselves) and the same irrationality of parents. Again, if those parents don’t remove their kids from school during flu season, it’s a losing argument they’re making.
School closures undoubtedly hurt academics, but that’s fine, because many schools have replaced traditional learning with heavy doses of white privilege and white supremacy sessions anyways.
Where school closures make a lasting impact, though, is on the emotional well-being of our young people, who rely on social interactions to meet emotional and psychological needs. The data is clear and conclusive: Our children, especially those of lower socioeconomic status (black lives matter, right?), are hurting right and we can’t even begin to comprehend the lasting damage this is being done to psyches and mental health.
For example, according to an ABC news report,” The consensus of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and American Psychiatric Association (APA) is that they generally support the CDC’s push to reopen schools for the sake of children’s mental and developmental health.” We were told to believe the experts, right? The article continues, noting “[e]xperts agree that school has a tremendous influence on a child’s health and well-being. Extended school closure can be very harmful to children’s learning and the development of social skills.”
In terms of how blacks lives apparently do not matter in all cases, “[m]ental health experts are especially concerned about the vulnerable population, including children with emotional, learning, and physical disabilities, as well as those in foster care or poverty, and for whom English is a second language.”
Another expert, “one of the nation’s most prominent pediatricians” according to an NPR story, “argues that the risks to children’s learning, social-emotional development and mental health need to be better balanced with the risks of spreading the coronavirus.” Listen to the experts, they tell us.
We are trying.
The NPR story goes on to note that a “new study in JAMA Pediatrics…documents elevated depression and anxiety among children under lockdown.” Scary, but not surprising. And, as if this mental health abuse were not enough, this same doctor identifies that child abuse is on the rise since schools, which, since they employ mandatory reporters and are often the only contact an abused or neglected child might have outside the home, are less likely to catch wind of abuse or neglect.”
Even as far back as April, Psychology Today was already finding that the lockdowns were having a negative and detrimental impact on young people. It found that “[s]tudies so far indicate that the pandemic could have negative effects on children’s physical and mental health, and yet parents do not have the appropriate mental health or counseling skills to help their children or themselves.” Imagine what five – and counting – additional months are doing to the emotional state of children. Moreover, “due to restrictions to routine lifestyle, psychosocial stress caused by home confinement or isolation could further exacerbate the harmful effects on the child’s physical and mental health.”
In April as well, Lancet, the world-renowned medical journal, was already noticing the effect of mandated lockdowns and stay-at-home orders on the mental health of individuals, especially those with identified conditions. Their research found that, of the over 2,000 patients in their cohort, “83% said the pandemic had made their conditions worse” and “26% said they were unable to access mental health support.” It should be assumed that conditions only deteriorate over time. If these figures represent peoples’ wellbeing in April, what is the cost that has been paid as we enter October?
Prior to the forced closure of society in response to a virus, young people were already struggling. Mental health crises were reported like never before; this has only made it worse. If Democrats force these lockdowns on us, which singularly multiply the cases of mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns, how can any other conclusion be reached that they aren’t responsible? Blue state governors, as well as the cult of leftist media and celebrity personalities, that try so hard to shame good people for wanting to return to much-needed normalcy deserve our anger.
In 2020, two truisms can be noted. First, the virus has done what viruses always do: Sweep through vulnerable populations with deadly efficiency. Second, the Democrats have done what Democrats always do: Ruin countless lives through failed policies.

Sprawling over 20 km (12.5 miles) and 40 billboards, an art exhibit turned the city of Cremona, Italy into a gigantic celebration of MKULTRA. Indeed, this year’s edition of Affiche, an “atypical exhibition” using city billboards to display art, featured paintings by Nicoletta Ceccoli – a famed artist who specializes in disturbing yet blatant images referring to Monarch programming. Of course, this subject matter comes with the obligatory references to child abuse, human trafficking, and satanic rituals.
Nicoletta Ceccoli is a prolific artist whose works were shown in prestigious collections throughout the world. She’s also illustrated children’s books and worked with a long list of corporations such as Random House, Mondadori, Simon and Shuster, Barefoot Books, Greem Press, Fabbri, Arka, Fatatrac, Europacorp, Macy, Diesel, Houghton Mifflin, Henry Holt, Mc Cann Lowe, United Airlines and Vogue.
The global elite loves Ceccoli’s work and is willing to reward her with generous contracts. Are these people bothered by the fact that nearly all of her paintings refer to the most horrific practice known to mankind? No. The symbolism relating to Monarch programming is actually part of their sick “culture”. They love to be surrounded by it and they want us to be surrounded by it as well.
Nearly every painting made by this artist is replete with MK symbolism and all kinds of “codes” hinting to sadistic abuse. And, for some reason, Affiche 2020 selected these paintings to be plastered all over the city of Cremona.
Affiche 2020
On its official website, Affiche 2020 describes itself as follows:
Affiche is an atypical exhibition, set up in the spaces that are normally reserved for advertising or electoral posters. Affiche is an exhibition that expands throughout the city with a journey of about 20 kilometers. Every year the large-format artworks of a great international illustrator are shown and his images – usually published in magazines, newspapers and books – are presented directly to passers-by, whether they are strolling, or traveling by car or bicycle. The exhibition space is the city itself. This year’s edition features 23 paintings by Ceccoli. Here are some of the paintings put on display by Affiche 2020. Controversy It doesn’t take an expert in symbolism to realize that there’s something terribly wrong with these paintings. And Cremona citizens immediately protested this exhibition. Here’s an excerpt from an Italian news article about the exhibit (free translation). Cremona, the Affiche exhibition and the disturbing images of a horror childhood A few days ago, the new edition of ‘Affiche’ was inaugurated, a controversial exhibition of illustrations in giant format, displayed in 43 public billboard spaces in the city of Cremona. The images created by Nicoletta Ceccoli, an illustrator of children’s books, are about the world of childhood and are depicted in a disturbing way (to say the least): In a giant picture you can see a horror version of Alice in Wonderland cutting the throat of a rabbit, but this is nothing compared to the other illustrations that wink at child p*rn. In one, there is a pinocchio dominated in a “sado-maso” way by a girl who wields a whip, not to mention two other images in which, a train and a bunny enter the genitals of two girls. The aggravating circumstance is that in fact, these are public billboards and the exhibition, organized by the cultural association “Tapirulant”, extends for 20 km in the city space and was inaugurated with a bike ride because among the sponsors there is also Bicincittà. There is talk of “dream style” with regard to images, but nothing about these images appear to be vague or imaginative. To the contrary, the message is quite clear, to the point of raising the indignation and protests of various exponents of the center-right. In fact, the group advising the Premier Lega per Salvini has announced that a question will be presented on the matter. The senator of the League Simone Pillon denounced this initiative which he called “cryptopedophilia” and pointed out in a Facebook post, that the “works” were displayed in front of schools. Furthermore, educational tours were organized with the city’s children. Addressing the institutional representatives, he poses a simple but significant question to the mayor and the organizers: “Why so much fury against the innocence of children? What is your problem? ” In fact, we too ask ourselves how destabilizing it can be for children who have just passed the difficult test of forced isolation due to the pandemic, to approach with such a gloomy vision of childhood that it ceases to be the place of lightness and kingdom of a fantastic imaginary, to be tinged with the dark colors of violence and perversion. It is necessary to ring the alarm in the face of what we do not hesitate to define as the first signs of a race towards a moral abyss of which we struggle to see even the bottom. In Conclusion I could spend all day posting paintings by this artist and explaining their obvious and disturbing meanings. Nearly everything she does is replete with the exact pattern of symbolism that’s been described on this site for years. Furthermore, it is absolutely impossible to make sense of her work without understanding the sick world of MK symbolism and its system of abuse and satanic rituals. The fact that this artwork merely exists is disturbing enough. The fact that it is actually being celebrated and plastered across billboards is a complete travesty. P.S.

It is certainly a good thing to show tolerance to our neighbors and to be wise stewards of creation .

True , there does exist a traditional type of tolerance that is built on the inherent dignity of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not what tolerance has come to mean in our modern society .
Today , the passive value of tolerance means little more than “ I will overlook your sins if you overlook mine.

Worse yet , swapping out traditional virtues with progressive values has helped create a generation of young people who say to themselves , “ Well , yes , I may be living a sinful lifestyle , but that is OK because I recycle cans.
” Rather than train up young people to live in accordance with a set standard of virtue , our values-driven schools have taught students to justify their own sinful behavior by commending themselves for the great tolerance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have likewise given in to their base , misdirected passions .

These seven are composed of the four classical ( or cardinal ) virtues of courage ( fortitude ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prudence ) , and justice , and the three Christian ( or theological ) virtues of faith , hope , and love ( charity ) .
.

In On the Shoulders of “ Hobbits : The Road to Virtue with Tolkien and Lewis , ” a book I wrote several years ago , I discussed the seven virtues in-depth and illustrated each with examples from “ The Chronicles of Narnia ” and “ The Lord of the Rings.

Unlike Tolkien and Lewis , the Greek and Roman poets , philosophers , and moralists who composed or reworked the fifty myths I will be telling lived before the birth of Christ and were ignorant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to enter into their stories , I will not attempt to systematize them into some kind of pagan Decalogue or bend them so that they line up neatly with a setlist of virtues .
I encourage you , instead , to find in these myths a fuller vision of what it means to be a human being created in the image of God but fallen , a creature of inherent worth and value whose original design included the desire for and practice of virtue .

Had our secular schools really jettisoned virtue altogether, then their students would have noticed the absence and awakened from their moral stupor. We are, after all, creatures made in the image of a holy God who is himself the standard of virtue and who is the author of our desire to reach for that standard. Yes, we are fallen now and depraved, but that desire, that innate yearning to enact the virtuous behavior for which we were created, persists.
Placed in a fully virtueless zone, the human heart would have felt hunger and rebelled. However, the secular-progressive architects of our modern schools were not foolish enough to let that happen. That is why, after purging their schools of traditional Judeo-Christian — and traditional Greco-Roman — virtues, they replaced them with a set of five pseudo-virtues to fill up the virtue-shaped vacuum in our hearts: tolerance, inclusivism, egalitarianism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism.
Now, I am not saying that these pseudo-virtues are evil or even negative in and of themselves. It is certainly a good thing to show tolerance to our neighbors and to be wise stewards of creation. Still, these five virtues — which I will henceforth call values since they are man-made and culture-bound rather than eternal and cross-cultural — have never stood at the center of morality.
Worse yet, none of them represent active virtues that affirm that we are human beings who deserve equal respect because we were made in the image of our Creator. On the contrary, they are passive values that deflate and reduce our God-given worth and uniqueness into a bland, lowest-common-denominator soup.
True, there does exist a traditional type of tolerance that is built on the inherent dignity of every human being, but that is not what tolerance has come to mean in our modern society. Today, the passive value of tolerance means little more than “I will overlook your sins if you overlook mine.” Just so, egalitarianism and multiculturalism do not lead to the affirmation of all that is unique and glorious in masculinity or femininity or in the various cultures of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, but rather to the collapsing of all distinctions in favor of a Marxist identity politics that reduces people to their race, class, or sex, without imbuing them with any kind of essential worth.
Worse yet, swapping out traditional virtues with progressive values has helped create a generation of young people who say to themselves, “Well, yes, I may be living a sinful lifestyle, but that is OK because I recycle cans.”
Rather than train up young people to live in accordance with a set standard of virtue, our values-driven schools have taught students to justify their own sinful behavior by commending themselves for the great tolerance and inclusivism they extend toward others who have likewise given in to their base, misdirected passions.
Two full generations have been instructed to feel intense concern for the destruction of the environment and for social justice issues on the other side of the globe, while feeling no compunction about indulging their appetites, humiliating their peers, and treating their parents with contempt. In the moral-ethical haze that sets in when values take the place of virtues, it becomes all too easy to redefine narcissism as self-esteem, envy as fairness, and consumerism as a natural and inalienable right.
I could go on for many pages attacking progressive values and lamenting what they have done to the soul of America, but that is not my goal, either in this prefatory note or in this book.

But there is a better way. The best and most effective way to get rid of weeds is to grow and nurture very healthy grass. If the grass is healthy and strong, the weeds will not take root.
It is the same with virtue. The best way to expose the smallness, meanness, and ultimate ineffectiveness of the pseudo-virtues is to build up in young people a passionate love for the real virtues. Let them come to know, experience, and love transcendent, time-tested, traditional virtues, and the pseudo-virtues will lose their charm and appeal.
In the same way, if you instill in your children a deep, passionate love for music that is good, true, and beautiful, they will develop within themselves the discernment and the will to shut off the bad, false, ugly music that is blared at them daily.
But what are these time-tested virtues? Were you to ask that question of anyone before the modern period, he would immediately tell you that there are seven virtues that form the gold standard. These seven are composed of the four classical (or cardinal) virtues of courage (fortitude), self-control (temperance), wisdom (prudence), and justice, and the three Christian (or theological) virtues of faith, hope, and love (charity). . . .
In On the Shoulders of “Hobbits: The Road to Virtue with Tolkien and Lewis,” a book I wrote several years ago, I discussed the seven virtues in-depth and illustrated each with examples from “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “The Lord of the Rings.” In “The Myth Made Fact,” I also seek to revive a stronger, more traditional understanding of virtue; however, I will do so in a less programmatic way. Rather than enumerate the virtues chapter by chapter, I shall plunge the reader into a world of danger and decision where our heroes lack the clear light of special revelation and so must rely on the cloudy rays of general revelation.
Unlike Tolkien and Lewis, the Greek and Roman poets, philosophers, and moralists who composed or reworked the fifty myths I will be telling lived before the birth of Christ and were ignorant of the Old Testament. In inviting you to enter into their stories, I will not attempt to systematize them into some kind of pagan Decalogue or bend them so that they line up neatly with a setlist of virtues. I encourage you, instead, to find in these myths a fuller vision of what it means to be a human being created in the image of God but fallen, a creature of inherent worth and value whose original design included the desire for and practice of virtue. . . .
Before the modern period, the main vehicle for passing down the benefits of virtue and the dangers of vice was stories, whether those stories were considered mythic, legendary, historical, or, often, a mixture of all three. What makes the stories I will be telling and analyzing in this book of particular import is that they are foundational myths, ones meant to help us understand who we are, why we are here, and what our purpose and destiny are.
They served that function for many generations of noble Greeks and Romans. When read through Christian eyes, they will do this and more, pointing us beyond the lustful and wrathful Olympian gods to the One Holy Creator who stands, like Aslan, at the back of all our stories.

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, is said to be haunted by several different ghosts, from past owners to children, and even a couple pets.
Along with its haunted reputation, the Colonial Revival-style hotel also inspired author Stephen King to write “The Shining,” one of his most popular novels that was adapted into a 1980 film starring Jack Nicholson.
Haunted history of The Stanley Hotel
The Stanley Hotel was built by inventor Freelan Oscar (F.O.) Stanley , who moved out to Colorado hoping that the fresh air and plentiful sunlight would relieve his tuberculosis.
When he arrived in 1903, he was weak and underweight, but after just one season, hotel staff says his health was restored.
The hotel says Stanley was so overjoyed that he vowed to return each summer and ended up building the hotel to bring a level of sophistication to the region. The Stanley Hotel opened in 1909.
Stanley died in 1940 at the age of 91, but his spirit is said to still roam the hotel.
Specifically, staff says he’s often spotted in the hotel’s billiard room and bar. Stanley’s wife, Flora, has also reportedly been spotted in the hotel and is known to tickle the keys of a piano.

Another ghost that’s been said to show up is a former housekeeper of the hotel, Elizabeth Wilson or Mrs. Wilson.
Tour guides say Wilson was lighting lanterns in room 217 when she was seriously injured in an explosion. She survived the blast but passed away years later. Now, it seems Wilson is a regular in room 217.
Guests report items being moved, luggage being packed up and lights going off and on.
It also seems Wilson is rather conservative – guides say she’s not a fan of unmarried couples. People who aren’t married have reported feeling a cold presence between them while in bed.
