9/27/2021 Dream Cream

     So yesterday, I go to the store on shopping errand. I'm almost done. The last item is wet ones which is a hand sanitzer. I'm waiting on a sales lady to ask where the items are. The second guy asks her where the eucerin is which is a cream. I say to myself wow. That was the 1 item my gal needed that wasn't on  her list.  She forgot.  But spirit did not forget.  So I followed them to the cream.  This is what they call a waking dream.  Spirit made my life a little bit easier.   Thanks spirit.

9/27/2021 Assault

    Recently, on the internet a woman asked her audience of women. Stand up if you know of anyone including yourself that was sexually assaulted. Almost everyone stood up. She then said how many of you reported it to authorities, stay standing. All but 6 were left standing. That is    Mega sad.

   This is why developing a bond with spirit is so important. When you feel threatened you will be able to call on spirit for it's assistance.  Then look for that guidance and act on it. After you had this experience,  you can ask spirit why you had this experience in the first place. So spirit can lend protection. This is another tool in your toolbox that you can use.  Probably one of the best tools in the box. Please don't leave it in the box.

9/13/2021 Real Upliftment

 

    It only comes from within. You don't  have to go to far points around the globe.  It's there for you 24 hrs a day every day.  Make that place within you, were you see yourself  via visualization  in a nice peacefull  place where you can commune with your higher self.  That's  the  one that is not selfish and the one that you try to aspire to. Doing this daily will bring you close to that ideal being which is you. Any problem that you may be experiencing can be brought here. The answers will come by doing this. Usually it's  a quiet voice but not always. Try to listen to that little voice or nudge. In the world you might get that nudge either to speak up or to be quiet. Heed to those nudges. Monitor your speech, you want to be kind in speech and deed.

    The temple is within you always. It's  the only real temple. Just you and your higher power. Doesn't  get any simpler than that. You don't  need any organized entity to go to. By going to the real temple within,    you will feel complete and secure in your place in the world.. It's there waiting for you to enter. It may take time but that's  the price to pay for your upliftment.

    The problems that you have are not blockages  but stepping stones to help you make better choices for your future. Look at it that way instead. In life there are many teaching moments to be had. Look listen and learn. The new you will evolve from this endeavor. Plus write down your experiences.

9/10/2021 The Right Move

    Read a story yesterday  about football.  Mike Golic who was a tackle on the Miami Dolphins football team. He was past 10 years playing ball. He injured his knee and was on injured reserve at the time.  He wanted to test the knee at practice. But they wanted him to sign a waiver before he did that. Months before the team signed 2 new tackles. Soon after the team released Golic. Here's the thing, the team couldn't  release him while he was on injured reserve. When  he signed, it took him off the reserve and the team quickly released him. He never played in a game after that. They didn't  have his best interest at heart. This also happened to players who sustained head injuries. They weren't  dealt with properly so as to keep the player on the field.

    Always ask spirit  what is the best track to follow. Do I do this action A or action B or C. Then use your head in finding the better way. You can ask trusted friends for their input. Write down all leads that you can come up with. Sleep on it and think on the problem a couple days. When it feels right to you, write down the best move.  Make a decision a couple days later. This is for major decisions. 

    I test drove a pickup once and I felt a little hesitation when accelerating.  I dismissed  it because I was enamored vwith the look of the truck.. I bought the truck. It bit me 2 months later. Had to have the transmission redone eventhough it was redone a full year prior by previous owner. The transmission shop wouldn't  make good on their repair. So I got a little warning but I didn't  use critical thinking in making a good decision  for me. I'm  wiser now. We have to think in all areas of our life and I mean  All.

    

9/08/2021 A LITTLE FLAME

 

    The main purpose of this blog series is to develop your trust in spirit.  That was created by God for the sole purpose so that souls  [ that being you] can interact with  God. To make your muscles get strong, they have to be worked. Take walking and lifting for example.  I use dumbells.  You work your muscles on a daily basis  and you will see very good results in a couple months. The same with spirit, you have to work it, use it. Like breathing where you don't  even notice your doing it. If your working toward a goal and you get stuck,  call on spirit for that helping hand.  Any inner nudges you get may be the key  or someone may say something, or you may get the clue from what you read.  Spirit has many ways to assist you in getting that goal. If you have good motives,  it makes the help come more easily lets say. The more you use spirit the brighter will be the flame. Do your 5 to 10 min of thinking of a situation that gives you joy.  Reflect within. This time is quiet time for you.  Many differing thoughts will come,  just brush them aside. Focus on a blank page within. Over time you can ask a question and visualize  it written on the page. Either hear the answer or see it written out.  Be creative in looking for an answer.  Practice makes perfect. Always date and write down your experiences whenever you get them. Your the director of your life. Think what it is that you want and begin the first step in putting step 1 goal into action.  Attain it. Then work on step 2. Continue till goal is met.  Write down how long it took you to get it. The more focus and more energy you invest in it the quicker will be the results.

Make that flame burn. Then life will be more joyfull. Learn from your mistakes. You will rise higher because of them. Overcome negative people's take on you. Believe in your endeavors. I can do this. And I will do great things in my life. Then you will have earned your seat at the table.

9/04/2021 It goes Boom

 

    Just before  covid times,  I was mowing a friends yard.  In the grass was a plastic ball.  I picked it up and it was not a ball at all. Yep definitely,  it's  a grenade allright.  I kept it,  I'm looking at it right now. In the last 2 years this metaphor came to pass for me. January  2020.  I'm  watching TV late at night and there are Chinese  people laying in the hallways of a hospital in Wuhan. The hallways are narrow  and the doctor is walking through  trying  not to step on anybody.  Oh Oh, I said that is a pandemic in the making. I told my sister  what was coming, she poo pooed it, oh it's  just the flu. I said no it's  not. Three weeks later she doesn't  think it's  the flue. Just great. Autumn 2019 my gal needed major surgery and now this. But thanks to dedicated scientists we got vaccines within the year. Good on you guys and gals. I just counted the days til we could get our shots. We are very thankfull  for the shots. Why anyone would refuse the shot is beyond my understanding. If everyone got the shot we wouldn't  be having problems with the Delta variant. And what's  so wrong about wearing a mask anyways. People dying because of their stupidity.  See prior blog post.  Not only do they hurt themselves but strangers as well. Some people lament I didn't  have the time. Priorities buddy. Get them in alignment. It took a half hr to get my shot. These people couldn't  sacrifice a half hr or say 2 hrs to go get the shot. I don't  get it at all. Everyone I see on TV who didn't  get the shot and they have covid and are in a hospital bed, now say to the camera oh get the shot you don't  want this at all. So you have to wait to get to get hit over the head to do it. Makes No Sense!

    So my gal has another medical problem, that's going to take some time to solve.  It's  one thing after the other. The same with the country. Will we still have a democracy? God I hope so. All these dark clouds  around but there are still silver linings  to be found within. And when you discover one, be thankfull. You earned it. So there are thing's  to be thankfull for during these times, I for one have found them. So when your life goes Boom don't  fret. No matter how dark it gets, look for the silver.  It's  waiting for you.

9/03/2021. S Is for Stupid

 

     We all do something stupid on a regular basis. The trick is to learn from the stupid act. After you do something stupid, it is time to reflect on what made us do the stupid. The only way to fix stupid is to think about the situation.  Thinking about it and coming up with an answer can prevent future stupid actions.

      So alot of times being lazy or impatient is what led up to the stupid act. I have to tell myself to dial it back a notch.  Here is something small. When I went toward the waste basket, I threw a wad of paper at it and it missed.  I picked it up again and did the same thing, another miss.  I focused more on try 3 and it went in.  If we can give a little thought to the little things in life it will prepare us for the bigger things later on.  Bigger things are happening now, like how to handle the future, what are you doing now  to prepare?  Me ,  in reflection got an F for my lack of effort in this department. When you find yourself living in the future with a lack of funds, it gets antsy real quick. And it's  Tuff no question about it.   Dumb dumb dumb.  God, I hope I can learn from this. Only thing you can do is pick yourself up and continue on.  Because there is no such word as quit.

    Say you are about to get in a verbal fight. Stop. Not worth it.  Only  plenty of bad blood will come of it. Best to keep quiet.  Leave the area. Go to a quiet space inside you. Think about how you found yourself here. What was my motive in this debacle.  Real learning happens here.  Look at yourself critically admit to yourself your selfish aims.  Then write down what happened on this day. After this day you will be less stupid.

    Speak to yourself in the morning.  It's a morning pep talk. I will do my best to be less stupid. I will use my brain to think things through.  By doing or saying  A,  B or C , this will happen. Does the end result benefit  me and others?  If it's  a yes then proceed. During the rest of the day, decisions  will be coming up what to say, how to say it and the actions you take. It's  work, but it will benefit  you immensely  as the days go by.  It will lead to a more happy life.
