6/27/26. Something is Afoot

             Lunch time I go to Taco Bell for lunch. They have something called a chicken stacker for 2.99. best value right here. Eat these with the hot sauce packets. So my wife and I step into the store. She had to use the bathroom then I made my order on the kiosk.  I finish & turn around to face the counter area. This customer there is yelling at the staff. Something didn't go right at the drive through. So the guy came in. The employee had a nervous smile and the guy yelled at him about the smile. Saying why are you smiling like that. My wife says let's get out of here. I say no. The guy goes into a fit mode. Then near end of the tirade he pulls food out of his bag and then slams it on the counter. He didn't cross the line in the sand. Came close though. I asked God to intervene, at first yell. The customers in the store just let it slide. We let it slide until we can't. I kept an eye on him up until he drove away. So it wasn't Taco Bell, it was something deeper going on with him.  What can you do in this situation. You can in your mind wish the person peace. Or ask God to intervene then see what happens. And sometimes you may have to take physical action. This would be a last resort of course. Then after that a thunderstorm hit the area pretty good. Explosive behavior in the store and then 10 min later outside the store with the storm.

            Yesterday, I step out of my car to enter the grocery store. As I step outside, I feel money is about to come my way. I look around and sure enough there is a nickel in the ground, I pick it up. 6 ft from there another nickel. Ten cents to the good. What's it mean,? I have no idea. Before that a maintenance guy came to work on the a/c unit. He has a big Benjamin Franklin tattoo on his arm. I ask him about it. He says he's a big money man. I say it's the c-note. He said ...yes.  Says he gets paid good working for this company. They ship him out to differing parts of the country.  So big money conversation and 2 hrs later I find Jefferson twice. It's weird. I think it means something though. Twenty,- six months ago I got in my mind something big was going to happen. So far nothing.

.          I've noticed an uptick in earthquakes and volcanos popping off. Seems to be something is afoot. More of this to occur in the near future, perhaps. Upsetment in the people as well as the Earth.

6/25/2026. Rate My Progress

            Protect the Temple. It's where you live. So, I mentioned before about someone I know that was emotionally unhinged. This person wished to die saying it out loud with strong emotional outburst. Their health went down hill shortly after that. Now, this person battles to stay healthy. Not working so good. No matter how bad things get in your life, never give up , that is number 1. When upset, never wish ill to others or yourself. It is a downward spiral which you don't need.  Words are the bullets and the gunpowder are your emotions. Solve your dilemmas with God's help via Divine Spirit (DS,). A much safer way to go. It seems everybody forgets God when things are going good but then the coin flips, then what? By working with DS you will see for yourself that DS is for real. Nobody can prove it to you. It takes your actions,  so you can see the benefits to your life. Eventually you will rely on DS when things get tougher  for you. It will show you the way. Don't get discouraged when the answer is not forth coming fast enough. Keep at it no matter what. And always be greatful when you get the help. This God force called love has been on this planet since inception, it does not leave. You have access to it. The only thing you have to do is recognize it as Real and use it by calling upon it.

            When you start your day think on what you want to accomplish this day. If you have questions of DS do your best in looking for those answers while out and about. Also in your dreams at night. If you have a decision to make, sit with it a while and try to feel the answer. I find that when a decision is good, in your mind there is a resounding yes. You don't have to think twice. Take that direction. Hesitation comes in when you are looking to see how the dominos are going to fall. You can make a waking dream symbol. One object for answer one and another object for number two. Have that symbol show up twice at differing times. Then take that answer and see how it feels to you.

6/17/1775. Salem Poor at Breed's Hill

          Shortly  after Breed's Hill, George Washington was elevated to lead colonial forces against the British. Without him I don't think the states would have survived the war. George's troops were trapped on Long Island, NY.  Aug 1776, the British had him trapped good. George had his men build big bon fires along the ridge, and told them to whoop it up. Their backs were to Manhatten. Backing away from a fight saved the Continental Army from total destruction. George had his men hunt for boats along the coast of Brooklyn. Then they started ferrying his men to Manhatten. Genius. They lived to fight another day. Come daybreak there we're still troops in Brooklyn. A fog rolled in helping out George get the rest of the men over. I believe this fog was provided by DS ( Divine Spirit). So they picked the right guy for the Job.

           One of the things I disagree with George was him saying after the battle of Breeds Hill that negroes would no longer be recruited into the militias and regular army. Negroes that were already in could stay in their units.

            Salem Poor was a negro who fought atop Breed's Hill. He bought his freedom in 1769. In today's dollars would be 5,500 dollars years salary back then. Through a system if self- purchase, slaves with skills would be able to earn the money. 

            The beginning hours of June 17th, he and others started to dig into the  earth atop Breed's Hill at around 5 am the British saw the earthen work atop the hill. They then began to fire their cannon from their ships in the harbor toward the redoubt. Started out with 1400 colonists on the hill with reinforcements padding that number to 2,400. The Brits had 2,500 men. After 2 assaults by the regulars up the hill, the hill was red from British blood. One thousand casualties littered the tall grass. The 3 rd assault the colonials ran out of ammo. Became hand to hand fighting. Poor fired at British Lieutenant Colonel James Abercrombie. He was carried off the field to a Boston house where he succumbed to his injuries 6 days later. While recuperating at the house his men paid him a visit. Turned out that the wound in his right thigh came from friendly fire. That wound did him in 6 days later. 14 officers praised Poor's actions stop the hill. Recommended him for honors. There is no record of him receiving any honors though. Britain did the opposite and said any negroes who would fight for Britain would be freed permanently, once they signed in. They had many takers.

              Poor moved with his second wife to Providence RI. Eventually they were asked to leave because they had no money. Thanks for your service, now, get out.

             Lafayette laid the cornerstone for the Breed Hill monument in 1825. The 50 th year of the battle. It sits atop the hill to this day. Poor's honor was a 10 cent stamp issued for him in 1975. The British won the battle but lost the war. This battle set the tone throughout the war. They became super cautious and still maintained the arrogance in the officer corp.

6/13/2026 The Finch & The Hawk

           I saw a finch up in the sky going after a hawk. Hawk is leisurely flapping his wings but the finch was by himself and single purposed. Hawk was like who cares. The finch had his own ideas. He wanted that hawk out of his territory period. We should be like that finch, brave and single purposed. Know what we want and get after it.

           Last 5 mos  I've been looking for a cheaper place to live. A lot of dead ends. Working on 2 things the car problem and an abode. Yesterday, I finally got the alternator fixed after 21)2 weeks. Trying to get car past emissions for last 18 mos.  I brought my mechanic a junkyard alternator last November. That day he said a part on it was broke,  I told him to get a new one then. So, the car worked. Lost out on 50 bucks for the used alternator. Could've got my money back from junk yard but didn't have the time plus it was far away. So I ate the cost. Eventually tried to get the car through emissions once again. I take it to service stations and say how much to get a sticker. They won't give me a price. I say to them if I give you 500 bucks and it doesn't work then what. Well we have to look more. I say yeah and more money. This is why it is taking this long. In my old state I had about 20 vehicles and usually had them registered in one day. Not this state. I fixed the physical things on my car myself. That passed. The previous person who had the car before me got in an accident on the highway. The front end and backend got damaged but still driveable. So this accident was to my benefit. It is my belief that DS set this up. I took off the front plate because it had a bad sticker. The nearby state has no front plate. Got stopped 3 times one time getting a ticket. One day the bungee cord broke that kept the trunk lid down. I replaced it with a wider rubber strap. I positioned it over the bad sticker. This has worked.

           Found another mechanic. I like this guy. Failed on a purge valve and alternator which I had replaced 8 mos ago with a new one. This alternator was putting out over 15 volts, suppose to be under 15. Had to take it back to my mechanic to replace it. The part is warranted. But had to pay 80 dollars for the labor even though I already paid for the labor before. But second time the labor was less, he cut me a break.  So total loss was 130 for junk yard alternator and second labor on alternator install. So get a new alternator when you have to have it done and have them show you on a meter that it is putting out less than 15 volts before you leave the shop. The purge valve I'm going to do myself. Had that done 2 years ago for 260 dollars. My new mechanic says it's not good. Gonna do it myself for under 20 bucks. It's good to try to do it yourself. I talked to many mechanics before I found my new guy. I have hope in that I'll finally get it across the finish line. Then try to find that abode. This is something new in trying to get things done for me. There is a reason and I haven't figured it out yet.

6/09/2026. Slow it Down

           So the other day. I see my phone slip off my tray table, I couldn't grab it . It hits the floor again. It's one of those composite plastic floors, which helps. Phone ok once again. Two years ago I dropped my older phone on the macadam when exiting my car. It fell less than 2 ft. Landed on it's corner and got cracks in it. It lasted another 2 years. I should've of got a new one at that time. I was attached to that note 9 phone. Should of cut my losses then. So my new phone I set it down on the table but the end was propped up by a med size scissor, so the phone wasn't sitting flat.  Fifteen minutes later I watch it slip off the scissors and table. If I slowed it down,  it would've gave me time to think it through. Living through the experience will hopefully make us smarter. 

          Now, that incident can be extrapolated out. On the roadway, move a little slower, it can help avoid difficulties for you. Driving the other day, I'm in right lane making a right in right turn only lane. A car to my left tried to come in my lane, were side by side, he beeps at me. We missed by inches as I jerk car to right. Now he is behind me when we have to merge into the highway. A solid line is there for a bit. You merge when the line becomes a dashed line. He crosses the solid line and then beeps me again. He does some weird lane changes before pulling in front of me. I let off the gas.  I tell my wife look at that jerk but I don't let it get the better of me. Mr hurry up is stopped up ahead by a red light. I pass him making a right at the light. A future accident is in his future. Crossings, look 3 times before entering. I look for the speeders, hesitation is almost always preferable. I will wait at yield zone until the time is right. I stop 20 ft from car ahead of me at light, when I see guy stop at rear then I move up a little. . In parking lot, I try to park so my nose is facing out. I probably do this 50 percent of the time. When walking you have to look around as well. Once I was in a diner with my wife. I got a weird feeling,  so I took her out quick and found another place to eat. I new my spider sense was right on. That sense hit hard. Listen and get out. 

          Slow it down in other areas as well. When in an arguement, watch your mouth. Think before talking, count to twenty five. Words &  actions in this state are not good all around. Better to use your feet and leave. Try to be positive during your day. This builds a good protective space around you.  It will be better than before but it is not full proof. Patience is hard, it has to be cultivated, through practice. You will be reminded through the many months to come.

5/28/2026. Doomsday Prepping

              The preppers spent 137 million dollars in fixing up old shelters so as to survive a nuclear blast. Next year it will be 175 million dollars. The place is in South Dakota. It is a complex, where they are making them more modern, so as to sell them  to the preppers. One third of the complex is sold.  This complex holds up to a thousand people. Each abode cost 55,000 plus yearly service fees.  According to the Wall Street Journal. Now, the people that are living there are fighting amongst themselves over the little things like dogs.

               This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. The one neighbor builds a fallout shelter in his backyard around 1963. A false warning comes that missiles are coming from Russia over the north pole. They think it is real. The neighbors that socialized with one another turned violent trying to get into his shelter where his wife and kids are there. As the neighbors break in,  finally the radio says this is a false alarm. The neighbors try to make amends. Yeah right. So you have the fictional version and the real version. Pretty pathetic.

               Soul is indestructible. Once you know this 💯, you will be in a good place.. you will always go on. Learn from your lessons. Review your notebooks. Ask questions  of God and then look for the answers.

5/25/2026 Memorial Day

                Since 1775 the US has lost 1.3 million soldiers. Europe lost around 80 million including civilians over the course of two world wars. This was over 36 year period.  Included in that were 12 million people killed in Hitler's death camps. A staggering number.

               Working 16 hrs a day counting pencils, will take you 89 days. Say 3 mos to count  American dead  For European dead it would take you 20 years. Now take that number times 50 will include the close ones that would be affected by their loss of one person. So that number is 4 billion people affected. Europeans know what it is  to suffer on a grand scale. Why? The answer is Fear.

                Supposedly a third world war will have way more casulties than 80 million. English appeasement in the 30s concerning Germany, did not work. So there has to be a balance. 

                   But working on ourselves can help. We raise our own consciousness and in so doing,  helps in raising the worlds as well. It's a slow process. And the more people that do this the quicker the good will spread. Just wishing people a good day, friends and strangers helps. You never know how a kind word can help in someone's life. So, to change the world, we start with ourselves first. People say why so much strife in the world. Well they can't even get along in their own families. Like I've said before,  if you feel that you had enough of someone being trouble, take your leave but say something positive to them before leaving. I try to do this but sometimes I fall down. In a real bad situation. Almost all the time, it is a good result though.

              Back to the US and it's people who gave their lives, so that we could continue to live in a democracy. This I am greatful for. Democracy has to be earned, it is not a Gift.
