The more salt you put on food the more your body craves! The more fatty foods you eat, that is the more food you eat that has no real new nourishment – The sooner you will become hungry again. I notice when I eat a lot of fatty foods my body starts craving fatty foods. Do you tell your body what to do or does your body tell you what to do?

When I did drugs, the more I did the more my body craved and demanded – And in ever increasing quantities. The thought came to my mind many years ago -that of moderation and just the right amount. All I require, once A-day, is a teaspoon of God’s grace. No more and no less!

“IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN GOD ALL WRONG* -THEN WE WHO ARE NEITHER ENTIRELY CLEAR AS TO WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM (AT ALL TIMES) -AND TO A GREATER, OR LESSER DEGREE STRUGGLE TO CONVEY OUR OWN CONFUSION (OR IGNORANCE/INEXPERIENCE) -THEN WHAT ARE OTHERS TO MAKE OF US – THEN WHY WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED SO FAR-FETCHED FOR OTHERS TO “GET US ALL WRONG” 🤷‍♂️

In a nutshell: “IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN GOD ALL WRONG – THEN WHY WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED SO FAR-FETCHED FOR OTHERS TO “GET US ALL WRONG” 🤷‍♂️

**”Act as if ye had faith; and faith will be given to you.”
–David Mamet (b. November 30, 1947)

This certainly sounds like it comes straight out of the King James version of the Bible, but its origin is far more contemporary.

The line is spoken by Paul Newman in Sidney Lumet’s The Verdict (1982). Mamet’s screenplay was based on the late Barry Reed’s 1980 novel, which in turn was ghost written by this fella.

It’s left as an exercise to the reader to attempt to locate the line in the novel. All the Internet references I checked credit it to Mamet, and who am I to doubt WikiQuote?

How could a line of dialogue from a modern film be mistaken for scripture written two millenia ago? It appears in the middle of Paul Newman’s jury summation scene, which is cited by those who rank such things as one of the greatest monologues to appear in a motion picture:

•Title is an excerpt from the book/film “Conversations With God” by Neale Donald Walsh. Film credits: Henry Czerny in starring role playing Neale Walsch; Directed by Steven Deutsch (2006).

Feel free to add to the argument (if a thought should strike you) -and even if that thought should go against your own personal feelings or long-standing views!*

*You see, mankind is not only littered with misconceptions about things (particularly those things…), but in many instances he is either the purveyor, and or the gate-keeper of those misconceptions.Therefore, what we are attempting to do is nothing short of to “bring crashing down”… As previously stated, “We are moving very rapidly in the areas of technology and information. But very slowly -possibly even backwards, with regard to Truth, and our own Humanity.”*

*”There are always advantages to doing things the right way and there are always advantages to doing things the wrong way. Some men continue to seek out advantages through doing things the wrong way.”

•Title is taken from a song written and sung by the great Bruce Springsteen (1987).

When an honest man does business with a dishonest man -who tends to get the short end of that stick? It is a rare man indeed who not only has the capabilities but the willingness to business is in an honest fashion -to compete with dishonest businessmen and still come out ahead!

If you feel so justified in what you are doing then why do you feel the need to hide it from those you love most!

It is well documented that certain people -men dressing up as women will use this deception to their own advantage. How many of you have heard the story of the individual dressing up like a man and going out on a date with an individual who has no clue? And these days 🤔 -how do you think it feels (for a man) looking at a woman on TV, wondering if you’re actually looking at a man? Now it is actually possible, these days, for a man to “go all way” and get away with it! God made things plain and out in the open so we could make choices knowingly! Now satan on the other hand, in collaboration with certain human-beings, knowing or not… satan will use man any way he can…!

Let me ask you this, all this trouble your grandparents and great grandparents and great great grandparents went to to keep certain things from being exposed to our children and to our conservative beliefs -you think all these efforts were merely a conspiracy likened to the dark ages with the intent of PREVENTING MANKIND’S EVOLUTION INTO ALL HE CAN BE? IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND -ALL THIS HAPHAZARD FREEDOM AND FREEWHEELING ARE ADDING TO MANKIND’S EVOLUTIONARY SELF-ACTUALIZATION… THINK AGAIN!

There is tons of well documented data regarding regarding the drawbacks not only homosexual sexual interactions but also on heterosexual interactions outside monogamous relationships. In fact, the more one follows the suggestions in The Bible regarding our sexual conduct/identity****-the less likely one is to encounter:

•S.T.D.s

•Feelings of guilt, shame, remorse…

•Faced with a decision to abort

•Being raped

•Being used

•Being deceived

•Having an angry spouse or partner kick down the door while in the act of…

•Having to give an account to God, your own spouse, your own children (NOTHING I HAVE EVER READ IN THE BIBLE OR THE BOOK OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS HAS EVER ASKED me to act immoral, or to harm myself or another human being!

•Having your spiritual-progress stunted by making sexual pleasures more of a priority! Many people in relationships make sex their foundation for love rather than spiritual-intimacy (fall in love with your partners spirit (if it’s good-natured) -not their body). Many people (in their present state) are incapable of spiritual-love. 90% of people on this planet are capable of having sex -but significantly less are capable of “true spiritual intimacy”. I think satan is very pleased with that statistic -but not yet completely satisfied (with the numbers as there are still people roaming around on this planet who are capable).

•Disappointing God

•And perhaps the #1 reason: Will use alcohol consumption in this country as an example. Approximately 10% of human beings are predisposed to alcoholism. There are way more than 10% of the people in this country drinking like alcoholics even though they may not be. And even though a person is not predisposed to alcoholism it can still become physically addicted if if they drink enough of it long enough. They don’t have the “gene” but… Anyways, Monkey see monkey do. Anything that feels good or is a gateway to acceptance from your peers and from society we’ll have a profound effect on a human being’s choice to experiment or to experiment or to engage. Specialist in the area of human/social behavior are all too familiar with this fact. A LINE from the sixties or seventies “IF IT FEELS GOOD -DO IT!” How many of our children continue to be ravaged by drugs and alcohol because it is a learned behavior?* So I ask you this “Is sex, in whatever form, any less tempting, any less intoxicating, any less inviting than drugs or alcohol?** People who study human behavior and human development are all too familiar with how impressionable children can be. How in their formative years they lack the proper tools and and defenses with regard to the messages and experiences going on around them -Which is why previous generations have gone to such great lengths to protect them and insulate them like them from certain realities.***

Thinking things are upside down and backwards is not a sufficient foundation for making them right -love is!!!!!

“WE GOT TO LET LOVE RULE” Lenny Kravitz

“ALL THOSE YEARS AGO” George Harrison

Once one reaches a certain level of sanity or spirituality… it’s amazing to observe the world knowing, that it is in fact insane.

“To the sane insanity seems insane. To the insane sanity seems insane.” From many, many, many years ago!

There is nothing in the BIG BOOK of Alcoholics Anonymous that says you cannot attend meetings if you are guilty of… no where! And that is not in spite of a God you believe to be judgmental and punishing -it’s from the God you believe to be judgemental and punishing.

They say genius is peak in their twenties and thirties -do their best work…

*How many of us tell our children are told not to smoke while we sit there lighting up? No… if we as a society and his parents want to give our children a fighting chance with regard to not drinking and not smoking.. We should refrain from engaging in these vices throughout their developmental years years when their observations and not our verbal hypocrisies are having a profound effect on their decision making and development. Instead we have this constant, resounding megaphone saying “try it -you’ll like it”, while this tiny little voice says “don’t do it”.

Anyone who disagrees that we humans have a significantly self destructive aspect to their to our makeup…

**I started noticing some years ago -these young girls dressed up very provocatively on the screen of my the screen of my TV. It’s no secret that a number of people working in the film industry suffer from pedophilia. So what about these young children being dressed up to look like Little Women?

*** Protected child too much…. Protected child too little… 🤷‍♂️

****Once homosexuality and same sex marriage and transgender… Started becoming acceptable or rather, En Vogue -Women started leaving their screwed up marriages, gave up on men altogether… and started dating women! The good thing about human beings is they have a remarkable ability the ability to adapt. The bad thing about human beings is they have a remarkable ability to adapt. I used to think it didn’t matter whether -a marriage was between a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or a man and a man as long as they loved each other – I mean with regard to the example being set before a child..See what I mean about being too open! Now I know that a man can only give a child certain characteristics and a woman likewise -that no 2 women or no 2 men can complete a child in the manner in which God intended -no matter how much they love each other! Before homosexuality was an acceptable part of society -most gays held the position that they would not put that stigma on their worst enemy, let alone their own children. It was in the class with drugs and gangs and so forth…. Frowned upon. I wonder how that attitude has changed among parents -since the social climate has changed some. And then there is the fact that many homosexuals feel an enormous amount of guilt irrespective of the attitude of society. Finally, the so called traditionalists predictionalists, those being accused of outdated thinking… Dating back many centuries in fact, have known for some time that once you open the door on something… HELL, PEOPLE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION KNOW THIS BETTER THAN ANYONE -ONCE YOU CRACK THE DOOR ON SOMETHING -GIVE THE POOR AND OPPRESSED, AN OPENING (GIVE AN INCH -TAKE A MILE), EVERYONE, AND THEIR DOG WILL BE AFTER IT! SPEAKING OF DOGS… I was told that after gay-marriage became legalized – People wanted to marry their 🐕. See what I mean about opening up that door!!! SHAKES HIS HEAD.

I have at times pondered what people are thinking who for a living distribute alcohol, drugs, tobacco tobacco products…. Things that are killing their fellow human beings! Their own children! Surely someone in the business has lost a loved-one, or 2 to the very product(s) they themselves are pushing -HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH THAT? 🤷‍♂️

While there maybe a lot of Truth to the saying “Life is what you make it”, some people appear to have confused it with “Life is how we want it”. You see, God made life! And now it seems certain people are (hell-bent) on usurping or upstaging or undercutting “God’s handiwork”… I mean, is there anything sacred anymore? What’s that you say? “If God hadn’t intended… He would not have made possible…” Well, He made possible the eating of the fruit in the “Garden of Eden” -did He intend it? No…..! You see, without choices, options, alternatives -for better or for worse, one cannot rightly lay claim to self-will (or to having granted it either 🤷‍♂️). On the dash of a car I once entered was a sticker that read “ALL IS PERMITTED BUT NOT ALL IS BENEFICIAL”. I also read somewhere that God gives us choices, opportunities rather:

•To gain victory (merit) over evil, temptation…*

•To give us each a choice regarding who and what we are to become*

*without choices we are merely locked into something! And this sort of scenario is more akin to something either satan, or your fellow man is guilty of! Think about it; they say “God loves us so much He grants us free-will” -and in spite of the fact our constant misuse of it causes Him so much grief! Now then 🤔 DO YOU BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND THAT… satan, or YOUR FELLOW MAN (the elite of our species) LOVE YOU, OR I SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO GRANT EACH OF US FREE-WILL NO MATTER WHAT THE COST TO THEM? HOW MANY HUMAN BEINGS OUT THERE DO YOU KNOW OF RUNNING AROUND WITH A SIGN ON THEIR FOREHEAD WHICH READS “HERE TO MAKE SACRIFICES FOR ANY, AND ALL OF HUMANITY -JUST ASK!” IF GOD LOVES US SO MUCH HE WILLFULLY, KNOWINGLY GRANTED US FREE WILL AT HIS OWN EXPENSE, AND satan is THE ANTITHESIS OF GOD -AND MAN (MEN OF POWER) ARE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE TWO (AND BTW, MANY OF THESE MEN WISH TO PLAY GOD IN THEIR OWN RIGHT -BY USING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SET OF RULES/PRINCIPLES OF COURSE)… ANYONE IN CHARGE SETS UP THE RULES OF THE GAME ACCORDING TO HIS, OR HER OWN NATURE! HOW MANY OF YOU “OLD-HANDS” KNOW YOUR FELLOW MAN TO BE COMPLETELY BENIGN IN NATURE?” MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON THAT FRONT “FAR FROM IT!”

I’ve said for a very long time, “YOU CAN’T IMPROVE ON PERFECTION”. But, I suppose one (or many) can change the definition and then work towards the new one! That appears to be precisely what mankind is doing! I don’t suppose you are yet willing to buy into the idea that “what was prophesied in the Bible is coming true?”

•The planets falling apart

•The family unit is falling apart

•The children we are producing these days, many of them can’t add, subtract, socialize… are being conditioned by man, not God to have their potential “subverted” to counter the threat of competition to upper-tier elites (and to serve their spawn as well).

•Materialism (consumption) is increasing at an exponential rate (along with disposal) -how much more can this planet give -and take?

Name one thing on this planet -we humans are in total agreement with! You see, amidst all our individuality, and variety, we’ve lost our sense of commonality, unity 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

It is well documented that certain people -men dressing up as women will use this deception to their own advantage. How many of you have heard the story of an individual dressing up like a man and going out on a date with a man who has no clue?

Thinking things are upside down and backwards is not a sufficient foundation for making them right -love!!!!!

•Title taken from song of same name by the legendary rock band “Fleetwood Mac”. Song credits are as follows: Written by Lindsay Buckingham and performed by Fleetwood Mac (1977).

Flexibility and Teachability were what I was told are key to one’s own development in recovery.

I’m sorry but a lot of these things mankind is pushing on television for supposedly the betterment of mankind while trying to make money off of it just doesn’t ring true for me. When you do something decent, you do it without payment or expectation. That is the code of “love and goodwill towards men”.

Just by turning ever-so-slightly, you can get an entirely different view of the universe. Now, with the biggest and seemingly most unreachable, unattainable, uncontrollable, unfathomable thing in all of creation -if we can spin it around with such ease and such subtlety, then what can we do with anything and everything else within it? And what about the innerverse -does it work way too? Maybe with a slight twist?

What happened to all the food and land given to man by God? Now we have to buy all our food and all our land from other men. What happened to all the animals that used to roam free across this country that we could go out and hunt for the price of a bullet? And eat for a freaking year off of it! Shakes his head

God created different races and different nations… Unique 8n their way -and now man wants to break down all those lines and blur everything. He wants to blur race he wants to blur sexuality he wants to blur traditional marriag… He just wants to redo everything! 🤷‍♂️

I guess God had it all wrong from the beginning – because mankind is stepping in and undoing and redoing everything God did.

I guess all of them old fashioned values your grandparents and great grandparents lived by we’re just a bunch of BS -you do remember all those people right? The ones that fought in World War I and World War II! The ones that survived the great depression and managed to put food on the table for themselves and your grandparents! The ones that taught you about respect for The Bible and for other people! Who wants to talk to about honesty and a hard day’s work… The ones that fought to keep certain things in check -to protect our children! The ones that kept financial institutions in check in order to keep the American dream alive!
