Oct/26/2022 Focus 2

      This morning near the fridge, there he was. Darting here there in flight. A very tiny little fly.  Known as the elusive fruit fly. Very hard to catch and kill. This time I had razor sharp focus and he was in my sights . I stretched out my arm all the way and with my outstretched hand, I swiped the air. I looked in my hand no bug, but then I saw him quite dead on the side of one of my fingers.  At that instant I was 100 per cent focused. There were zero thoughts in my head but for the death of that fly.

     That is what is needed to get what you want. Now however if you do that in trying to control someone, woe will come on to you in one form or another. In the words of a very famous sea gull. Set it free. If it comes back to you it's  yours if not,  it never was yours.

Oct/25/2022. Depravity

      Story from Florida this morning.  A good Samaritan called cops on witnessing a human being throw a plastic storage box out a window while they were crossing a bridge. In that box was a 4 yr old female dog. It just so happened that there was an animal rescue establishment only 5 min away from that bridge. These people since 1 was driving and the other was tossing are what you call depraved people. Maybe a better word for them are monsters. Why?

     In all likely hood it was due to a horrible upbringing. Ofcourse it's  not always this way.  Bundy comes to mind. A serial killer caught in Florida decades ago. His mother says he was brought up in a loving house hold. I guess he was just born rotten. So a lot of times the house hold is not that loving. Screaming,  hitting and God knows what. Living in that scenario would show the kid, I'm worthless. So they strike back in fear. From then on it's Me First. They will use violence first to block any potential attack against them. Since their bigger than cats and dogs these critters will feel the brunt of their wrath. People say catch them and put them in jail. Well that just makes them worse. Doesn't work for the most part. 

     Only way to prevent these sad occurrences is to raise your kids with love and respect like you would like for yourself. If you don't  know how to give love then don't  have kids, use birth control.

     At sporting events the kids are participating in. They see adults getting in fist fights over blown calls of all things. The kids think this is normal behavior.  Don't  get your way,  then just smack someone. Sometimes they come away unscathed and sometimes not. Does this help your self esteem?

    When about in your life, if you see an injustice send love toward the situation in one form or another. It can only help. Love is the presence of light. It is light that pierces the darkness not the other way around. If anything remember that. It will heal all wounds. Spread the light by showing love. This is what God is. By giving love you share God.

    As far as the dog's fate. He was saved by the cops and was adopted out. Hopefully to a more loving person.

Oct 22/2022 T. P.

 What's  T.P.  That's easy, it's  toilet paper. Here's  what it has to do with spirituality & life lessons. I'm in the bathroom, standing.  In my hand a small roll of tp. My mind drifts toward something I was thinking on. As I unwound the tp, it falls to the floor. Not what I wanted to happen. Prior to the tp fall, I maneuvered the tp with no issue at all.  Soon as my mind drifted, the drop. So much for multi-tasking. Focus is what it takes to get something done to satisfaction. So I took my mind off the ball ( in this case the tp ) and made a whiff.

     Just like in baseball. It's hard to hit a round ball with a round bat. The batter must focus on the ball only, to have any chance of a connection. If he had a fight with his wife the day before he cannot revisit the altercation. Or any other event that had a strong emotional response from him. In our lives we do best to focus on our immediate goals only. Write down your most important goals, keep them written down in a book nearby that you can peruse. Pick the top 5 and give them the most focus.. pick a quiet space when focusing on your top 5 goals. Write down any actions that you can take,  to make the goals come quicker. Be creative,and don't listen to nay saying in your head or from others. Visualize that desired thing as a part of your existence. It's  not only focus. There is desire as well. How bad do you want it. The greater the desire the faster it will materialize.

      When working on a task, try to finish it off. Example: I threw a crumpled piece of paper at the waste paper basket. It fell way short. I didn't  let it sit there,  but walked over and picked it up and dropped it in the basket. It was my responsibility only. Say your in a store and pull a product off the shelf taking 2 other products out inadvertently which fall to the floor. I pick them up off the floor and put them on the shelf. I knocked them off, it's not the store employee's job to fix my error. When you think like this, you become responsible  and when you are responsible you make yourself stronger in many ways that your conscious mind is not aware of.

    Also if your out and about and you see something amiss, try to put it right without looking for reward. Eventually you will get rewarded but it will be God's way. And no you don't get your just rewards in heaven, it can happen here on earth. If you have the discerning eye you will see these rewards. come your way. 

    Example: one day I was low on funds for a long spell. Prior to this I would pick up other peoples stuff that they dropped as litter. I wouldn't go overboard with it though. So I was in this store roaming the aisles and spotted looked like a dollar bill on floor. I scooped it up. It wasn't  a dollar but a Ben Franklin bill.  It came at a good time. Usually it's trash but that day it became the most expensive piece of paper I ever picked up.

     By the way I still pickup litter and recycle or dispose it the right way.

Oct 15/2022 It's the Little Things 2

     It happened again. I put the toothpaste on my brush and put it under the running water. Half the paste falls off and hits the sink. I mean this has been happening for decades. I just use the half paste on the teeth. Looking at the paste lying in sink a bulb goes off. Put the paste in your mouth and swirl it around, then get the water on the brush. Duh! Now I have a new way of doing it. I put up with the old way for so long it became a habit. We do things and we don't know why. Its a very minor thing. But I must do this on bigger issues as well. More thought has to be exercised on the bigger things in your life. With me it was making money, I never had enough. But I learned how to stretch a dollar. I should of focused on making more money. A better way to apply myself. My rut was my job it was what I always did. Day in and day out. Big mistake for me. Using your brain more efficiently  is the key.

    Not to long ago I read about a guy who changed his job every 4 or 5 years and with that move it always came with a pay raise. The guy retired at age 40. Smart guy.

    Once you have a strong desire to make a change think long and hard about it, then act on it. I wish I did it. Start where ever you find yourself to be. This is the real work on manifesting a better life for yourself. And it is work. Requires time and do diligence on your part. The faster you do this the more happier you will be. You have to really look at yourself and take responsibility for your short comings. Once you see it you can start with the corrections. If you get stuck you can ask divine spirit for the needed push. Get you on the right track. After all it's your life which should be the most important thing in your life. A happier you, will make it good for everybody. A person that is not a victim but a co-creator with their own existence. Once you see it there is no way of you going back to the way it was with you. You know who you are and where your going. 

Oct 14/2022 God taketh away

      Alaska had a huge storm recently. Alot of houses were ripped from their foundations. Not a pretty sight. One couple liked to beach comb after a storm. The wife found a femur of a mammoth about 4 ft tall. They live in an apartment, so this femur will sell for a big hunk of change which will go to getting them a new house. The storm took away houses of their community but God giveth a means to build or buy a new abode for them. Seek and you will Find.

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.
