Oct 11/2022 The Whims of a Mad Man

      The other day I read about a marine that fought in Afghanistan & Iraq. When he returned to the states, he was removed from his comaderie with fellow marines. The one thing that stayed with him like glue was his hatred for Muslims. He couldn't fit back into society. The only thing of comfort for him was his extreme hate. To fix himself, he thought was to kill off that what vexed him.  Muslims period. Death to Muslims. His hometown in a Midwestern state has a new Muslim church. Off he went to take down some local Muslims. His face of rage was picked up by some Muslims at the church. One of them went up to him and showed him kindness toward the marine. That disarmed him in his quest to do violence. The Muslim kept talking to him and his rage went from boiling to simmering. One Muslim invited him to her house for an Afghan traditional dinner which he accepted. Overtime his rage was replaced by love and kindness. He now preaches his conversion to others. One simple act. Does it always work, maybe not. But I think if you invite divine spirit in during the travail and show the kindness, things should come out ok.

     Narcissman, greed, hatred and selfishness are all to be found in Putin. Ukraine became a country after the fall of the Berlin wall. The country said to US take away our nuclear weapons which they did. Then they started down the path of freedom via democracy.  It's a long hard path but they were doing good. Thirty years later Putin wanted Ukraine back in his pocket. The genie is out of the lamp for 30 years and he's trying to stuff it back into the lamp. That is not going to end well. A raving lunatic.

     Now. The pope was telling Ukraine to deal peacefully with the Russians, this was a couple months after Feb 24 th. Yeah right. Deal with the Russians who are liars and murders. Now Elon Musk suggests to Ukraine sit down with the Russians. Yeah right. 

     How about this. Suppose Russia invaded Florida and pushed up to Alabama  and Georgia. So let's talk peace. The Russians say will give you back Alabama & Georgia but we'll keep Florida.  Just what do you think the US would have to say about that.

     Now  the whole world is held hostage to one man's  whims. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

     Thats why in a democracy the power is shared in equal branches of government. Autocracy leads to nuts which leads to a sad state of affairs. Now we're at the point will he or will he not take the world down with him.

Oct 7/2022 Where's the Common Sense

     Today I read about the guy using a GPS to get somewhere at night and in the rain. He plunged off a bridge and got killed. If he was heading home, why not go the way you are familiar with. No need for a gps. About 8 years ago the bridge got destroyed by a flood and was never fixed. There was a barrier there at one time. But someone removed it. What were they thinking? To get through life you need common sense. Without it, bad things will happen. To you or someone else. Once again when you work with divine spirit on a constant basis, you will get aligned  with it. You should get the warnings via divine spirit to pay more attention to what is going down around you.. This is the best way for you to be safe in these troubled times.. Will you have accidents in the future.... yes but it still pays to work with divine spirit.. Alot of times we get in accidents is due to a lack of focus.

Oct 2/2022 Very Bad Fishing Outing

    Another karma story unfolded recently. Lake Erie a fishing derby is going on. There are many teams of 2 fisherman each team. The leaders present their catch to the crew that weigh and measure the fish. The biggest fish are the heaviest fish. These 2 guys are set to be declared the winners of the derby.  But one of the crew slices one of the fish open and discovers weights inside of it's gut. Needless to say the other fisherman milling about let loose a stream of profanities. Lucky for them they don't get beat up. In the old days they would have been tarred and feathered and escorted out of town. With karma, actions you do will eventually catch up with you. As it did with these two fellows. All that hate that was directed at them from their fellow fisherman will be felt by them for a long time. That negative energy entered their aura (it's  like an energy field that surrounds your entire body, this field also can be seen as colors by people who have or developed this skill.) For myself I felt this play out. I was walking down a street and I see about 5 male older teenagers up ahead of me goofing off. 1 kid runs to the grass divider between sidewalk  and street. The other kid is atop elevated ground held back by a stone wall. He's throwing ice from his drink toward the kid near street. They're  just goofing off. But when I crossed between them I felt their aggressiveness. They waited with their throwing ice as I neared. That aggressiveness was felt in my solar plexus. Even though it was a game, I knew there was some serious animosity between them. Probably they came to blows sometime in the future. Ice one day and fists the next. Practical jokers are probably in this category as well. Its good to pick up the energy in a room or outside with people. By getting that vibe, It's time to exit stage left. When that inner bell goes off, heed it. It could save you from some serious injury. The more aware we are, the safer you will be. Practice this state of awareness and play out the what is. But the best advice would come from that inner voice within which is divine spirit.

9/24/2022 There's no more Love

     Around here anymore. The gal was talking to her male friend as they past by me in a Target store. I thought about those words. The news is mostly negative because that is what we focus on. When you hear that day in and day out. It will drain you. Suck that little bit of happiness you got right out of you. But you have a choice. You can limit the  amount of time that you expose yourself to this diatribe. The more you focus on the good stuff in your life, the happier you will be. 

     When older people look back on their life, they remember happy times. Not how much money they made or what achievements they got.  They think of the times they enjoyed with their loved ones.  Put your energy into the family unit, make it greater by doing things together with love. Encourage all loved ones in filling fulfilled.  It starts when the kids are young. If you do it right, you will know where the love is.

     Think about this, if you can't get along within the family what makes you think that nations would be any different than you. When I'm  out and about, I act kind wheather behind the wheel or on foot in a store. The more that people do this the better it is for everybody.  When a skunk walks by and he released an oder, it will stick around for awhile long after he passed. A pleasant oder would be a walk near a rose garden. I believe a kindness will also linger in an area where the kindness occured. People will feel the affect of this previous kindness.  And feel just a little bit uplifted.  So it comes down to you, you can get the ball rolling by doing a kind act. Examples of this saying a pleasantly or holding open a door. Doesn't  take much.

      When I got angry at a friend of mine.  I let him have it verbally  because he cost me alot of money. On the ride home, I had to pull over because I felt suffocating. I got out of the car and took 3 deep breaths before I felt better and was able to drive home. When you get angry you cut yourself off from divine spirit. With me I felt the suffocation literally. Then I knew the difference between being connected  and not connected. I like the former, hands down.

     So do the things that make you happy more often. Less focus on the negative occurences in life.  And if the negative does come to your door, try to deal with it in a most positive way possible.

9/22/2022 The Ring of Anger

 

      It was a fight.  Occurred  about 12 years ago.. I retreated to my office where I promptly remove my wedding band and flung it across the room hitting the wall. Needless to say it was not my finest hour. The rest of the day I spent tearing  up the room in search of said ring. I found a very small washer 1/10 th the size of the ring, it slips on a very small bolt followed by a very small nut. But no white gold ring was to be found.

     Two days later I open my truck door at a grocery store. I spy a ring on the next parking spot. I quickly grab it from the macadam and place it on my finger. A perfect fit. No inscription was in the ring. Perfect. This ring was way better than the original, wider and a little thicker, a man's  ring. Never found a ring ever again.  2 days later, I find the ring or it found me. What are the chances, close to zero. 1: a male ring. 2: my size. 3:  had my taste in a ring. I think it's silver not white gold. Definitely a gift from divine spirit. When I tossed the original  ring I did it in anger, so the price of that was to be denied the chance of finding it at that time.

     Three or more years later I find the original ring between 2 floor boards. Not laying flat as one would expect but on it's side below the floor board, go figure that one out. I still wear the one I found at that grocery store.

    A couple months ago, I was having another small fight with my wife and my ring came off and flew under the bed. For the first time with this ring.  Uh  OH! .....      Here we go again. But this time I retrieve it right away and slammed it down on my finger.  Oh no you don't!

9/18/2022 I Dreamed the Bat

 

     Dreams can take you places where you can't go physically. They can also help you in resolving issues in your life no matter what they maybe. Alot  of times dreams make no sense, they're jumbled up. Sometimes you will see a recurring symbol an animal, landmark, balloon, person or what have you. These recurring  symbols are important. Try to figure out how it pertains to you. Write them down and the full date. When you look back at your notes after 2 weeks maybe you will see what that symbol means. Keep trying, it's worth it.

     One night  I had a dream. I was looking through a mask, it belonged to a fictional character  called Batman (Bruce Wayne). This guy witnessed his parents gunned down by a creep. Bruce was a kid. His psyche was severely damaged after that night. Looking through his mask, I felt his self loathing,  blackness and bitter hatred. That dude was one sick human being. I couldn't take it. I turned my head 180 degrees and saw through my own eyes, what a relief. Batman is doomed. Locked very tight within his narrow existance. In his view, there is no hope absolutely none. I was glad to be free of that mask. I now know  what it is to be Batman for a moment I walked in his shoes.

     Another dream, I'm holding a handgun and shot 1 time at a female friend of mine. I woke up. I knew what that dream meant. I have a caustic wit and it must of went to far with her. The next time I saw her, I apologized to her. The dream it was a gun, in real life it was my tongue. The dream allowed me to correct my misdeed. Another time I fell into gossip about a group member of ours. I felt something on my leg, reach down, it's blood. I got it,  wound the group cohesiveness  wound yourself. This is how God teaches us via dreams and daily life. It's  great. But not all the time. Either way you do learn about yourself. Like a house you love, your always thinking of ways to make it better. Thats you. Trying to be a better version of you.

9/16/2022 ORCS

 

     This is what the Ukrainians call the invading Russians.  Recently the Orcs are on the run back to mother Russia.  Not all of them though. These Ukrainians  chose to fight for their independence and democracy.  They put it all on the line. Good for them. Just as the French helped us during the American Revolution, we and the Europeans have helped the Ukrainians.  This war is about the forces of good and evil. Orcs being the great evil. The karma they incurred will go on and on for a long time to come. Hopefully this nation(USA) will not splinter into 2 factions. We will need everyone to combat the coming strifes that are coming down the pike.  All it takes is to be kind. Which requires empathy. Do on to others as you would have them do on to you. Do some critical thinking and keep and open mind. People use fear to control others. Like herding sheep. Watch out for those types of people they can cause mega damage to the status quo.

    It took many years to build this country (USA) up as a force to do good in this world.  It can all go south quickly in a few short years, if we are not carefull. The time is now.

Unite, be loving,, be kind, be courteous, be happy, be polite, be caring, be helpful, be generous, be strong, be aware, be fruitful,  be prosperous, be thinking, be You.....
