3/31/2024 Unfolding Journeys

       It's been 4 years tomorrow that I started this blog. We were in early stages of Covid. I believe it was created in a lab in Wuhan China. Three scientists working there came down with the disease. The wet market origin was a lie. US agencies worked with those scientists at Wuhan.  The disease cut down people with weakened defenses hard. Over 1 million Americans died due to it. And their still dying of it, today. I wear a mask when I'm in stores. I take it off when I get outside. I used to get the common cold 2 times a year around November and April. Since 2020 no colds. I attribute it to the mask and using hand sanitizer all the time. You don't need much. I keep a little bottle in car all the time and try to keep one in my pocket.

      I got the Moderna vaccine and the boosters. Last October I took the Novavax vaccine and will get a follow up next October. I got it free with the bridge program. The bridge program is to end at the end of year, supposedly. Get proper sleep and eat good foods as well. Look out for you and give yourself the best chance possible.

       As I said before, hard time Era started with 9/11. Troubles have been bringing change to us and the world. Greed and power is a constant. Negativity tries to tear down what our forebears put up. Namely democracy which allows us to be creative and have sense of freedom. Leading to living with less fear. It has served us well. It would be criminal to let all that hard won work go down the tubes because of our petty personalities. A person that says I'm going to be a dictator the first day does not deserve my vote. A person that raises and stokes fear to garner votes is not my ideal candidate. A person that would allow his VP to be put in mortal danger with a makeshift gallows near the capitol grounds. Is not a person who should be  allowed to run for dog catcher of a town. A person who mocks people with disabilities. Tells you right then and there what this guy is about. A person who has the audacity to grab a woman's privates. Well what can you say really. Would you want this guy to babysit your kid or grand kids. Think about that. For me to have to address this subject, just blows my mind.  Now this guy is selling the Bible for 60 dollars with holy crossed off and God bless the USA bible inserted instead. The guy even says he's like Christ. This guy doesn't try to hide who he is. But he is all that and more. Summing up with one word, I come up with...... Deranged!

       So hard times are still coming for us. It may even get worse. But if we turn to God and work with divine spirit we have a chance at least for us to get around these myriad of problems. Look for that silver lining in the dark cloud. It is there. That silver will get you through the trouble. Those who succumb to fear will have even more troubles than they started out with. So when the blank hits the fan, stay calm look to divine spirit within and act on what you get. Staying calm let's divine spirit in with it's usually small voice. Also ask for it's protection in the early stages. And don't  succumb to doom sayers who ever they may be.

       Always remember be kind and nice at all times. If you find yourself next to a super negative person. Excuse yourself and say something positive before you leave the room. Guard your peace of mind. Don't play the victim in any situation you find yourself in. If you find yourself in a bad situation own it. Figure out why it happened to you and most of all....how to get out of it. Be patient when trying to excise yourself from the predicament. May take days, weeks or months. Never throw in the towel.

       Easter is tomorrow. It showed that you as soul are eternal. You live forever. You exist within the smallest of things and the biggest of things.  Look to God always and ask questions no matter where you find yourself or what your predicament happens to be.  Live from soul your true nature. Understanding comes from here you inner temple where the god waters emanate. This is your sacared place. So before you go to bed ask to be taken here. Then record that dream.

3/26/2024. Control

        This was a horoscope I had from years ago.   Libra ...."Use this time to sort out what it is you want to achieve this year.  Making a plan will ensure you have a greater chance of accomplishing most things on your wish list.  Failing to plan can cause you  to end up swaying in the wind, instead of being in control of your destiny.  After all, that's what free will is about ----- taking Control. "

       This was made for me. I've found that having less goals is the better road to take. Anything more than 5 dilutes getting things done at least in my case. I have alot of unfinished projects throughout the house. And too much stuff. Now I'm tossing. It's  liberating in a way. Some pain also. It's push come to shove time. And that time is reduced to 5 weeks. So it is chaos around here. Next place I will be choosing more control for myself and hopefully slow it down a bit. I hope this is true. And yes we have free will. We choose a lot of what happens to us in a daily basis. Whether to plan or not to plan and hope for the best. Most of my life was the latter. I really don't recommend it. Here's to better choices and planning for the future.

3/15/2024 Building a Nest

       Getting hit in the head with bird poop is not a pleasant experience. If the bird circles round and wants to set up shop in your hair, you can do something about that. So in life one negative experience doesn't have to be a harbinger of more bad things to come. A lot of times it pays to reflect on that negative experience. Try to see what you can glean from that experience. Say you pushed your nose out a little too far into the traffic lane and you got clipped. Negative experience. Be thankfull right away. You didn't get hurt. But that lesson will hopefully teach you to be more cautious in the future. Once I ran a stop sign. Hit the guy's  280Z. He just picked it up from the dealer driving home to show the wife.  1/2 mile on the odometer. Hood and front fender damage. When  the cop came. I said it was my fault. When I told the guys at work I fessed up. Everyone said it was the wrong thing to do. I didn't  think so. But that mentality shows me why lawyers make good money.  My motto roll with the punches and move on in the figurative sense. Now, if someone attacks you physically call on divine spirit at once and try to defend yourself. 

       A recent article about Barbra Corcoran  caught my interest. She did a sell for Trump and her commission was 4 million. He tells her she ain't going to get a penny. She files suit against him and gets her 4 million. His narrative was a self starter for her. And she made her own narrative. Another time the Shark Tank was getting started and they called her to be on the show. She gets all excited. 2 days later they rescind her invite. No. She gets on phone leaves message for producer Mark Burnett. Tells him about Trump episode.  And that she expects to have a chance to try out. Her air ticket was already purchased. Day later she gets call to come for tryout. She gets the job.

       You do what you can to change the narrative. If doesn't work, so be it, move on. People who dwell on the injustices done to them wreck their future happiness. Doesn't  have to be that way.

3/06/2024 A Plan

        Is what you need to get the situations you want or things that you want. First you have to figure how bad you want it. And are you prepared to do the work that it will take. So I lift the dumbell almost everyday. Not only is it making me stronger but it shows me I have a sticktuvidiness.  This one act has a huge amount of power when it comes to your life. This power can be directed  in beneficial ways for your life experience. Along this path to a goal you have set will come with other unforseen events. Some good and other not so good. Both will aid you in getting to the goal. In your pursuit of goal A you may find an unexpected  thing come up that you like better. You swap A for B. But it was your pursuit of A that got you close to goal B. It's an adventure. What life is about. Start with an idea then the plan to try to get there. Blocks will come up. Your job, figure a way around them. There is a way around it. If you can't see it. It's time to call in divine spirit. Then pay attention to everything going around you and even a dream. The answer will come. You will have to have your own experiences to see that this is true. Record all in your journal. This is the most important book that you will ever read. It is your real life treasure map. You will never be a victim. The tools are there for your use at any time, they don't  get rusty ever. Any negative opinions about your goals. File them in the circular file. And continue on. Try to keep your goals manageable. Too many will scatter your power. If you can try to stick with one. You can do it.

2/23/2024 Crap

        I had to take my wife to the doctor in the city on Wednesday. Had to leave early that day. I usually use the bathroom between 9 and 10 am.  I had to leave at 8am. I was worried about this. But Wednesday morning came and I used the bathroom at 7:20, which never happens. I was happy about that, as well as thankfull. That was a load off my mind. So spirit knew ahead of time what my predicament was. And answered the call. So spirit becomes involved with the nitty gritty in the affairs of us. Looking after us in the most mundane of all actions.  

      If spirit can help in the little things, think what it can do in the bigger facets of our lives. When it comes to our life set a course of where you would like to go and what it is you want to experience. Give this endeavor a lot of thought. Make an outline. You can fill in the blanks later on. Always refer to this outline every Sunday and take notes and add things to the outline. Always to remember that you can ask spirit for it's input along the way. If you are handed something, think do I really need this? And if not, withdraw your hand. Your life will be about additions as well as subtractions.  Both are important. They can refer to people or things. This is hands on.  Always changing and flowing. The trick is to have fun with the total experience. Always be thankful to begin your day. Take 5- 10 min in morning to do a contemplation. A zeroing in, on what you would like.

2/11/2024 Nightmare

        Last night I got it. A lot of details are gone from it. But the gist from it was the US was attacked. I was in a single story large structure and dust or particulate was all in the air. The skies were filled with our military planes. I remember trying to get details on what was happening. Fear permeated through the building. Many people were in the building. Did not like this dream one bit.

       No matter what happens in your life small events or big ones, there is always Divine Spirit to call on. By using spirit in the small mundane things, it will show you that it does work for you by you taking action and spirit bringing the remedy closer to you. It is very simple, just ask. Then do your part. And always express gratitude after the fact. No matter where you are or what's going on lean on Divine Spirit because that's what it's here for. Build that trust. And keep a journal to remind you of past experiences working with Divine Spirit. This is what this Unfolding Journeys is all about. As you work with Divine Spirit your awareness will grow and your life will become even more rewarding than it is now. This relationship will power you on through. No matter what difficulties lay ahead.

2 /08/2024 More on Exercise

        Went away in the beginning of November last year. My dumbell exercises came to an end the way I use to do them. I brought a 20 pound dumbell with me. I found that I got a little weaker. I  started to do 25 reps on each arm each day. I found that I started to get strong again. After I got back 2 months later, I resumed the dumbell but now I do 103 on the right arm and 113 on the left arm the less dominant one. I also do 20 reverse dumbell lifts each arm. Sitting in my chair,  I lift  my weight above my head and hold it there a count of 65, each arm.. I do  65  15 pound leg lifts as well. So from July to November I did many lifts. This I talked about in a couple previous blogs. Which built me up. I got a foundation. So I am able to keep my muscle tone by doing way less weight. The extra weight took a lot more time to do.  The top of my bicep  has almost lost the last of the wrinkles. Still wrinkles persist below the bicep. Eventually I will get rid of them.  So it takes time. But its worth it to me. I do most of my exercises sitting in my office chair in the morning. No expensive exercise machines or gym membership. Last 6 years I would need a home depot  bucket to push off of to get  up from ground while gardening. Now I don't need the bucket. I feel more stronger than ever. Half hour in the morning  every day. It has really made my life a lot better. When you lift, start with small weights and over time go up in increments. Never push yourself too hard. Listen to your body. If you feel a tweek, back off either the reps you are doing or take 2 days off. Or reduce the weight. I feel 25 years younger. Those who want more definition they go to more heavier weights. These are your muscle people. You don't have to look like that. But weights can and do make you fit. It may also give you less aches and pains. As you strengthen your muscles you are protecting your bones. Listen to your body and use your doctors. Catching things early can extend your life.
