5/6/2022 Even Keel

 

    Is what you need when gliding your boat upon the waters. We are like that boat. Travel through life on an even keel. Not leaning to the left or the right too much. Too much lean can tip the boat. We have to think ...to keep the boat afloat. Just like in life, we try to survive to the best of our abilities.  It's not easy.  We make mistakes aplenty, learning from them hopefully as we go along. The journey should go a little easier as we get older, provided we did actually learn. 

    To keep us going, God has given us the gift of spirit as a helper in our quest to be a more loving soul which is what we really are.  First you have to prove that spirit is for real. So to do that, you put spirit to the test.  Asķ it to show itself to you. When you get an experience, don't  try to make light of it, saying ..oh that was  just a coincidence. Accept it and ask for more experiences. These experiences can come from dreams or daily experiences. From the mundane to the profound. When you get them, write them down and full date of their occurrence. It will be about you and your experiences with spirit. It's like being a detective, that will really change your life for the better. Your awareness will expand and you will make better choices for yourself. With a friend like spirit, it is here that you go to for the best advice,  it does have your back you know. Don't  hesitate to call on it at anytime.

    After we are born, we slowly forget our connection to spirit. The rest of our life is about trying to reconnect with spirit. It didn't  go away, it was  always there all along. It was us who went away.  All we have to do is make that big u-turn to reconnect.  Just make it your will to do so, since we all have Free Will.  No matter what mess your in, spirit has an off ramp for you. All you have to do is ask.

    There will be bumps along the road but this time you will be aided by spirit. Now is the time to make  that choice. Invest in a more fruitful  life. Your journey has always been written by you. You are the one in charge of you. Go  for it.

    

4/29/2022 Hurry Time

     

    The other day at Target, I step in the checkout line. I miss what went down before I got there. The male patron ahead of me is having words with the checkout woman. She was amicably trying to address the problem with the guy and he wasn't  having any of it. He left somethings in his cart and took out his kid from the cart in a huff hurrying himself and kid out the door. I look at the counter and there I assume are his sunglasses. So in his anger he lost a pair of sunglasses. That's what a display of anger will get you. So unnecessary.  If he stayed calm he would still have his glasses..

    I read on internet where a guy sees kids locked in a car and no parent in sight at a parking lot. He tells the guy when he returns,  that it's  not right to do that. The guy starts yelling at him and pulls a gun from the car.  The good Samaritan jumps in his car and peels off as the badie pumps bullets his way.  I had the same thing happen to me. I was in a huge parking lot to many stores.  I see two small girls that look like twins in a newer car windows up, dark interior late spring. I stay nearby and wait for a mall security  guy. Way down the lane I see one, I keep waving until he sees me. He's  young I point the car out to him. I step back away 20 ft and wait 4 minutes  later husband and wife show up. We were only gone 10 minutes .  Sequrity kid says I don't  car if it's  1 minute what you did was wrong. I was proud of that kid. Oh and no shots were fired in this instance. 

    If you  find yourself in something similar, ask spirit what you should do and try to feel the answer.  Sometimes no good deed goes un punished. With spirit involved it will go down in a most benficial way.

4/16/2022 Bird Smart

     You heard of bird brain,  it refers to someone  who is stupid.

     I feed the birds suet and bird seed.  Black oil sunflower seed is the most nutritious of all.  There was a creek next to my house.  I cut a piece of plywood 2 ft x 2 ft and mounted it to a post. The post was 6 ft off the ground. I put a large  raw  chicken  leg on the feeding board.  A vulture  flew in with his 6ft wingspan and grabbed the leg and flew off with another vulture after him. The 2nd vulture jarred the leg from vulture 1 and it fell to the ground. The 2nd day, the same thing happened. The 3rd day, the vulture figured it out. He landed on the platform and spread his wings out and then ate the leg on the platform.  2  vultures could not fit on the platform at the same time. By keeping his wings outstretched , he was able to eat in peace.  No other bird tried to land on the platform, he had it blocked perfectly.. That was 1 smart bird!  So yes,  birds can learn just like humans.  So there is hope for us.

4/ 13/2022 Sins of the Parents

     

    Bottom line is it starts and ends with us always. That's life in a nutshell. We are responsible for everything.  What we do with the lemons in our life  will determine òur future happiness.  We enjoy the good fortunes that come our way, as well as the misfortunes. How  we adapt to the misfortunes  will determine our character.  Anytime a misfortune arrives at our doorstep there will be gifts to you as well, as long as you have the eyes and will  to look for those gifts. The gifts will point the way forward in dealing  with this problem. The gifts come from spirit. Overcoming the misfortunes will strengthen your resolve  and make you a stronger person. 

     When you come  to earth, your first interaction  will be with your dad, mother or both. Also it can be neither. Hopefully it will be a loving person. The circumstances  have been set up in advance of your arrival. Yes it's  reincarnation. You need a lot of time to learn lessons, that can't  be done  in one lifetime. It takes many, many life times.  It's  all worth it though.

     Your parents have the greatest influence on your life up until your 18,  when you legally become  an adult. The shaping of you  starts usually  between 6 and 8.  If the parents are loving and supportive  you will  have a great  start  in life. If not, it will  be tough for you.  A lot of people  will walk thorough life damaged in their thinking processes.  So  how the  parents raise the kid has a profound affect  on the child. Sometimes a good upbringing  doesn't  work. That soul will have a hard life as well.  The child will emulate the  adults , and become  the adults  just like their parents.  To break those  bad learnings , you will have to chart a new course.

    A friend of mine said, your family is great, why couldn't  I have  had that. I said you can start anew, when you make your future family, you will do way better than how you were raised. You will be the start of a new loving generation.  And this is what happened for him.  He changed 7in inthe dynamics of his past ancestry. 

     This neighbor and me briefly worked for a company. He lived 2 doors down from me. I was at his house one day in his backyard.  His 10 year old son didn't  do something quickly enough for him, so he kicked him in the ass. I said John, don't  do that,  It's not right. On Monday, I went to work and told one of the guys what happened in the back yard. He said well thats what his father  did to him at work.  Kick him in the ass.  The father owned the business.  Sins of the father.  John chose to follow his father's  foot steps. Now his son will do the same to his son.  On and on down the generational line it goes. How sad it is!  It will only stop when a future son or daughter chooses to say stop and choose differently. This explains feuds and wars waged in the I'm right your wrong scenario. Much much unhappiness  contaminating anyone who  witnesses it. Or suffers it directly. Every day in any scenario you have a choice to be kind or be selfish and nasty.  What's it going to be?

4/06/2022 The Evil

 

    What the Russians are doing in Ukraine is pure evil. The only thing to do with people like that is to isolate them. That means no trade. Anyone who continues to trade with them should intern be boycotted.  Corruption  is the root cause of decay. Nations that hide the truth will eventually disappear. People who tell lies should be shunned as well. Walk away from them and if you can't  ask  spirit for it's protection. If your in public office listen to your constituents and not special interest. If you are having a hard time with a particular subject, ask spirit for it's input by contemplating  on it. This is the only way to fight the evil in this world.. Understand the truth, you have spirit to help you with this. Spirit can help in the black and white issues as well as the difficult gray ones.

    One must stand up to evil like the Ukrainians are doing. Remember evil will flourish if good people stand by and do nothing. Remember  this in your daily life. If you see something wrong going on ask spirit what you can do to help the situation. And spirit may say stay pat. If you don't  get a clear answer than stay neutral.

    I saw a situation develop that wasn't  right. I get in my head turn your lights on.. It was dusk and I was parked in shopping mall parking lot. I didn't turn my lights on. In retrospect  I wish I did. To this day I regret my decision. Spirits idea would have worked.

3/02/2022 Most Important Post Yet

 

    First,  life is about lessons.  Hopefully we can learn from them. Below is a close shave story that happened today Wednesday  March 2,2022.

     I'm up in my office and I can see the street below. Out of the corner of my eye I see the asphalt truck go by. When I get outside I see the truck parked 10ft past my driveway. I jog a short distance and turn right on the sidewalk. Making that turn slightly hurt my left knee. As I approach  the truck he takes off. I watch as he goes down street but I see that he comes to a stop at the side of the road.  I live on a busy 2 lane road. I walk 600 ft to catch up to them. Two guys patching potholes in center of the road. Their truck has a yellow metal container that slips into the truck bed. It's  like an oven to keep the macadam hot, with a small opening at bottom to pull out the macadam by shovel.  The 2 guys are now behind the truck to get more shovel fulls of macadam then they walk it to the center of road, to fix hole. As I'm talking to them a blue camaro type of car flies by at around 80 plus miles per hour. The camaro is heading down the street in opposite lane, he's on our side of the road passing cars in front of him. There are six cars in front of him and he's passing all of them at once. That's one crazy A.... H. By me talking to the guys about filling a hole in front of my house, I distracted them from their job. They'r  talking to me behind their truck. If I wasn't there they would of loaded their shovels with macadam and walked it to the center of the road. The car was moving too fast to react in time, they would have been in all likely hood......dead.

    I acted in my interest  and wound up helping spirit save those two souls.  That's a big.   WOW!!!

2/18/2022 No Traction

 

    I was having transmission troubles for close to a year. The truck would go forward but it wasn't a smooth transistion. I thought great the transmission is going and it's an expensive fix. I talked to an expert about dropping the pan and adjusting the bands. He said I'd probably do more harm than good. I believed him. Yesterday I was going to ask my neighbor about the problem, since he knows cars. As I was walking by the truck with it's hood up, in my head I get check the fluid. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. To check the fluid  in an automatic transmission  vehicle you leave vehicle running while pulling the dip stick out. Long long time ago I remember reading about transmissions and to smell the fluid on dipstick. If it smelled bunt than you had a big problem. My fluid smelled good. I was down with my level  in the fluid.  I added the fluid. You have to be carefulI ñot to overfill it. Put down about 4 tablespoons.  The level was good on stick. Took it for a ride, it was a little bit better. The next day , I took another ride not great. Got back and checked level again, it was down. Filled it up again and rode it again, a little better. I did this about 4 times. Now the transmission is good like it used to be.  Thank-you spirit! Spirit gave me the nudge. I don't  know why I didn't  think about in the first place. Also the truck is 25yrs old. 

    I got to remember to use spirit in all aspects of my life. It made my life way better with the above fix.
