    It’s dark out there. My headlamps obscured by something in the air. The shadows turning into material form. What the hell is going on?

    I keep a close eye on the lane markers.

    Up the road I see a shimmering light. It glances off the trees like embers from a roaring fire. The rain stops, the trees turn green. The flowers bloom into beautiful bulbs.

    I see you standing in the light. Long skeins of golden energy radiate from your hourglass body. How did you get placed so perfectly into the setting? In the woods, in a chocolate dress, on the shore in a little black suit. Do we all respond so automatically?

    Do I have the power to transcend this charnel prison?

    The suspense is making me sick.

    What exactly do you have going on?

    Can I meet you for a drink? Intergalactic Finance Minister

    Your prayers are with me, just as mine are with you.

    Every instinct you have is correct.

    Spirit of truth.

    Spirit of faith.

    Spirit of love.

    Your smile.

    You said a prayer. We’re walking down a forest path. I see myself. I am exactly what I want to be. I am doing the things that I know how to do. You are perfectly aligned with destiny.

    It’s all before us like a pantomime.

    1540 lol.

    I do not subscribe to history. Within the text lies a terrified child. Let’s go deeper. History.

    Coronado, from Culiacan (one-hundred leagues Northwest of Mexico city.) in 1540, took a troop of high-up Spanish soldier-boys into the Mexican Highlands.

    The soldier-boys were playing too much grab-ass with the maidens, and causing too much ruckus in town.

    It was decided to mount a regiment and ride into the Mexican outback. Coming in contact with the natives, exploring their dwellings, dress, and sustenance. How were these people making it? In 1540 Arizona, Aguacalientes, Mexican Highlands, New Mexican land of old. g-old. Carazone mi amore!

    Some of our finest American booty.

    In this tale, allegedly transcribed from letters written to/from Spanish King and court, the Spanish Conquistadors describe a land of milk and honey. Cibola.

    To My Dearest King of Spain, From Conquistador

    Here’s what I learned:

    • They were living in multi story housing.
    • They grew crops of corn, beans, and melons.
    • The traveling Querechos, eating only the meat of buffalo, always have superior bodies and form.
    • Multiple reported instances of giants, especially in Baja.
    • Some of the virgins were found nude.
    • They dug saunas in the earth for warmth. (Estafu)
    • Turk, the Indian, led the Conquistadors on a wild goose chase.
    • In hopes of wearing down the Spanish men, horses, and provisions– and leaving the Europeans to die alone on the central plains, nothing but cow patties for grave markers.

    What questions me about the “Coronado Expedition”?

    The conquistadors are always falling off their horses and killing themselves.

    The Jesuit friars fabricated stories of mineral wealth.
    No significant mineral wealth was reported.

    The detailed letters from multiple sources is something of an outlier. Why did this expedition get documented in such great detail? Jesuits.

    But wait. Here’s the deal. Because the synagogue of satan has changed the names of every location in the text– No historian can accurately identify the places referenced in this book. The actual Coronado route remains a mystery.

    What happened? Exactly? Tell me from the beginning. History.

    Thanks to all the Jesuits at the Smithsonian for providing this book. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/50448

    and got together a stock of everything. Besides, the Indians
    in those places through which they went got along with the negro better,
    because they had seen him before. This was the reason
    he was sent p475
    on ahead to open up the way and pacify the Indians, so that when the
    others came along they had nothing to do except to keep an account of
    the things for which they were looking.

    Highlight: At this time, before his departure, a pretty sort of thing happened

    named Trugillo (Truxillo) pretended that he had seen a vision while he
    was bathing in the river which seemed to be
    something extraordinary,119

    so that he was brought before the general, whom he gave to understand
    that the devil had told him that if he would kill the general, he could
    marry his wife, Doña Beatris, and would receive great wealth and other
    very fine things. Friar Marcos of Nice preached several sermons on
    this, laying it all to the fact that the devil was jealous of the good which
    must result from this journey and so wished to break it up in this way.
