Tom Bombadil-Phone/Internet Bugging-Harassment!
"...Bombadil does not seem concerned about the One Ring, though he seems to know at least as much as the hobbits about its provenance and power...".
..."Bombadil seems unaffected by the Ring's power and more concerned with keeping his own "country" around the Withywindle in order..."
"....Bombadil's seeming obliviousness to the transient concerns of mortals,..."
Tom Bombadil
<<Tom Bombadil is a supporting character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He appears in Tolkien's high fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, published in 1954 and 1955. In the first volume, The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo Baggins and company meet Bombadil in the Old Forest. He also appears in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, a book of verse first published in 1962, purporting to be a selection of Hobbit poems, two of which concern Bombadil....
Bombadil is spry, with a quick, playful wit. He speaks in a rhyming whimsical way: "Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!"[1] He has a jolly, carefree attitude, and little seems to concern him. He sometimes refers to himself in the third person, as if simultaneously weaving his own epic narrative, even as he lives it. In The Lord of the Rings he twice describes himself in his songs as: "Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow."
Bombadil does not seem concerned about the One Ring, though he seems to know at least as much as the hobbits about its provenance and power. Although the deliberations at the Council of Elrond at Rivendell suggest that Bombadil would be vulnerable to Sauron if the latter recovered the Ring, Bombadil seems unaffected by the Ring's power and more concerned with keeping his own "country" around the Withywindle in order..................................
....At the Council of Elrond, Galdor suggests that Bombadil would be unable to withstand a siege by Sauron "unless such power is in the earth itself", implying that the character may be a manifestation of Middle-earth's inherent properties. This connection would explain Bombadil's seeming obliviousness to the transient concerns of mortals, as evidenced in Gandalf's concern that Tom would not understand the importance of the Ring and would lose it if entrusted with it.>>
It would seem that after the American elections of November 8th., the usual phone/internet bugging and the relative harassment, always accompanied by 'outside the house monitoring too', by the various 'good-willed' callers have been escalating here in Greece.
This humble Blogger therefore needs to explain that no positions of power, no precious stones, no precious metals , no money, no maisonettes luxurious or not, no 'personal', 'sexual' or any other kind of favours, no fear, etc., are to disturb the taken course, but for the ultimate end , if so the Source Will.
Thus and in order to make things more comprehensible and perhaps save this Blogger from those 'extra inconveniences' , other than the 'regular' ones, usually originating from the much-much higher echelons, that the lower levels would have no idea about, beloved Tolkien comes to the rescue once more!

Despite the prevalent cynical, heartless, satanic concept that everything has a price and can be bought, there still exist, or always existed since time immemorial , Humans unaffected by the transient concerns. Indeed so , even now in our days of deceit, hypocricy, distortion, crime, mind and conscience manipulation, alienation, brain washing, absence of Knowledge of The Self, transhumanist agenda efforts,vaxinations, etc., such people do exist.
By this kind of people words such as 'Filotimo, Filoxenia, Gennaiodoria, Ahimsa, Dharma', etc., were created and are still used.
Yet, Tom Bombadil's case clearly provides us with a very analytical and explicit example, with ample accessibility to almost everybody's perception and this is why he was called to the rescue too.Because like him, this Blogger only cares for 'her own country', this being the 'True Human Values', aka:
