•What do we look for in a partner?

•What do we look for in friends?

•What do we look for in family?

•People we work with?

•People we pass on the street?

•Our leaders?

•Our neighboring countries?

God’s concern, and this is only a guess on my part, Lies in the point, the lesson, and the resolution!

When we get caught up in the details that’s where our ego thrives, that’s where the anger starts to swell… I seem to recall many a time getting angry over that very thing. “Look what you did to me, and how you did it to me, and why you did it to me…” That is where satan shines! That’s where he sits perched watching the drum unfold. Again, God’s concern is with:

•The point;

•The lesson;

•The resolution

This wipes away all of the landmines so many of us step on!

If man is not impartial, comma and God is, and I am alone… and I have an issue with family members and God is neutral and the other family member has this support support of the family because they’re biased, and then where does that leave me?

You know it would be great if if we all stop screwing up and put the media out of business.

God had no affinity whatsoever for the material. We human beings on the other hand, people in this country we call modern day America, nothing but! 😔 These days, we’re not only not walking in the shadow of our Creator, we’re shining a light on it and making it disappear. This country used to stand for moderation and belief in God in God and country… now it’s every man for himself, it’s everyone has their own God -and excess, excess, excess… Oh, and sexcess, sexcess, sexcess!!!!!

Love isn’t about who other people are it’s about who you are. Until we get that straight in our minds and in our hearts and in our spirits, we will never be able to love all peoples.

Satan is creating an army, thus tipping the balance to overthrow Christians around the 🌎. How else can there be a future where Christians are persecuted without building among those whose parents and grandparents who died Christians will yield an army of Anti-Christians. When I speak in meetings about God, and about spiritual principles, I can already see in some -a hatred! A hatred for good?

When you get into a very bad fight with someone you love love, and you retaliate… You can expect for there to be a residual effect for some days where you both feel a sense of resentfulness towards one another -where you are edgy, even bitter. Your reactions will be somewhat inappropriate inappropriate or disproportionate to certain interactions with that person over the next few days. And in some cases that wound never completely heals. Which is why it is so important to keep these sorts of things to a bare minimum so they do not add up. I call it ping pong ping pong ping pong…

The Jews were nearly wiped out by the Germans during World War II. Because the mixture of Jews with so many races around the globe it is near impossible now to completely eliminate them.

Even if Jesus had married Mary Magdalen, and had children -who the hell are we to be questioning a God? If you want to question whether Jesus was God because of this possibility -that’s your choice. A person can always find a reason to believe something or to disbelieve something. I guess my 1st reason for believing is because He says it is so.

Some people are very much influenced by flattery and ask kissing. I didn’t realize when I was younger that on the job, You have the ass kisser you have the hard worker, You have the gossiper you have the flirter… You have the one who’s afraid, you have the one who’s brave, You have the one who’s the troublemaker, you have the one who’s the peacemaker maker…

The reason there is so much crime is because our society places so much value on things that can be stolen by man. The reason there is so much money being made is because of the value we place on things that can be stolen, things that are be it’ll be perishable… If we placed greater importance on things in our society that are not of this nature and instill this into our children, our ensuing generations……. two things would happen:

•The economy might very well collapse;

•It might put an end to inflation;

•Crime would recede significantly.

Isn’t that the essence of dysfunction, too much or too little, too soon or too late, the wrong kind altogether…

One of the 1st things people are taught or do instinctively from a very young age is look at someone and identify them when they 1st come into a room or into their area or space. There are people here in the town I live in which counte that natural inclination by completely ignoring people who come into their vicinity or walk into a room. Or they try to take a quick sneak speak and then look away before you have a chance to look at them. It’s a game they play based on ego and self centeredness.

Personally, I recognized many years ago that I tend to operate off of my thinking rather than off of my instincts in many cases which is why it makes it so difficult for me to mesh with other people. When it comes to women, I notice a lot of men act instinctively whereas I tend to operate from the brain.* I have adopted this practice through many years of experiences that are quite abnormal. Unsettling at best!

*Many women find this unsettling as it has a tendency to interrupt their normal approach to ceasing the advantage ove4 the typical-male of the species. It also has a tendency to interfere with them feeling special -as I have a tendency to treat men and women equally (as human-beings) as opposed to….. At least at this point in my life that is how I’ve learned to treat (all people).

Always try to be consciously aware of when you do something of important so when you reflect back on it you remember you did it.

People can do things a 1000 times but when you ask them about it they don’t remember that they did it or they don’t remember any features of it -like what their stove looks like -or whether it’s the left or right knob it turns on the front burner… These of course may seem like inconsequential things…. But leaving the house with the burner turned on May not be so inconsequential – If we train ourselves in one area… When we make a mistake it’s good to go over in our minds the right way to have done it so that we threw this rehearsal of sorts train ourselves for the next… even though we may think we may never run into that situation again it’s a good practice for the mind, spirit…?

A person doesn’t have to be on a mountain top to look down on their fellow human beings -some of us can do it from the gutter. We human beings seem to have that distinct ability!

The question you always want to ask yourself is this one “does it make a stronger as a group? And does it make me stronger as an individual?” “Well-fuck the group!!” “Well there you go ” 🤷‍♂️

If I walk into a room with 100 people and 99 are cordial to me and one is a jerk and I concentrate on the jerk then my evening is gonna be all bad. “from the movie old yeller” Sometimes life will knock you plum in the dirt sun. But it’s not all bad, in fact, a lot of it’s good -but if we spend all our time thinking about the bad then it’s all bad.”

Many people these days are far too interested in fitting in with other people (the in-crowd) -rather than God, rather than people of God.

Why don’t you try being friendly to all peoples- Instead of just children and the elderly elderly and (other) females and puppy dogs pick be dogs… You may find an improvement in the world’s overall come and thus in your attitude towards specific and areas of humanity if you only try.

I don’t have to try to antagonize people purposely, all I have to do is speak the truth and the people with the biggest egos and the biggest fears will step forward.

In some people the truth settles their fears and in others it inflames them. Which one are you? And which fears are they? Which are which?

If a person thinks they have all they need they will likely turn down any other opportunities. Even if those opportunities are better for them (than the opportunities they have previously taken advantage of; an opportunity to ascend. This is why so many women are able and willing it’s unwilling to snub their nose at so many opportunities before them -it is also why so many men feel hurt and angry.

In many instances young human beings are like young venomous snakes -they don’t know how much venom to use (yet).

You know what time and space are? It’s sitting on a rock on Tuesday by yourself, when on the previous Friday you were sitting on that same rock with your beloved little Daisy by your side -giving her a bowl of water on a beautiful, Sunday morning walk.

Nowadays, a good majority of my time on my phone it’s spent writing in an effort to try and help my fellow human beings. Think about it

Phones phones phones -everybody on their phones -people passing by being ignored by one another and it’s a beautiful sunny day with God’s green living plants all around. 😔

What’s written in most of these posts is probably about as far away from your typical young American’s thoughts as Pluto.

“Your planet” From the movie the day the Earth stood still. If it was our planet truly, you would think we’d take better care of it.

You look around at man’s cities and there’s a coldness to their structures -not just the inhabitants living in them. If a person is not warm to the passerby then they’re probably missing something as well and they’re personal relationships.

Should you be happy, angry, jealous of someone who only thinks they are happy-who only appears to be living under the illusion that they are happy happy?

I didn’t use to think memories counted for anything -but given my family history, would you expect anything different? Anyways I thought it was more important to spend money on things than on memories, experiences, things to do… that is changed has it right now. As of the last few days.

I feel closer to God walking on the grass out here at the University that on the pavement. Maybe that’s the sensation peothe sensation people have when they go to the beach and walk barefooted in the sand. Maybe that’s why people drive thousands of miles to the beach from where they live…

I used to prefer cement under my feet rather than grass and dirt…. But now I think I prefer the feeling of grass and dirt under my feet to pavement.

Without ACCEPTANCE -no relationship in nature, among man, or with God -can exist, thrive, endure!

The day you stop accepting something or someone is the day you create the fork in the road can the road through which the two (10, 20, a mllion…) of you part ways -physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually… 🤷‍♂️

When you see someone receiving preferential treatment applaud it -we can always use more of that in the world instead of less.

Oftentimes we try and figure out the situation so we can figure out how to approach it. The only problem with that is that in many cases according to the spiritual realm -is that the approach is the same irregardless! There’s no figuring to be done. For example calm a regardless of the individual you are dealing with -you are always kind and respectful to the best of your ability. If we are dealing with a dishonest person; regardless of circumstance or conditions-we remain honest and maintain our integrity without question!

One of the differences between Jesus and ourselves is that He knows what’s in a person’s soul -whereas in many cases, we ourselves DO NOT. He knows who is salvageable -and who is the last cause. But He probably treated everybody just the same none the less. In the poem of the man God with regard to Judas the scariette he stated I have to try, I cannot let it be said that in any instance “I never tried to save a soul.” So once again -It boils down to the right action, from a spiritual perspective, is generally the appropriate action under (m)any and all conditions -or circumstances. 🤷‍♂️ “So stop doing the figurin’ -and let God do the figurin'” [play off a line from the movie “Rocky” (1976)].

When I’m passing a person on the street I don’t know if I’m going to run into a jerk or somebody very kind. When I choose to bow to my ego and snub them before they snub me -I may very well be snubbing a kind person and and adding coldness whether once or where there once was none. Are you the type of person who is more willing to turn a warm person into a cold person -or more willing to risk whatever warmth you have in you becoming cold by reaching out and being snubbed? Remember, you always have control over whether you become warm or cold in the end. Remember, you do in fact affect others for better or for worse! Can you live with affecting them for the worst?*

*They say we are powerless over others: people; places; and things. This is perhaps one of the biggest half truths or half lies in the universe. Just about everything we do is founded upon the actions and attitudes of those around us. Armies are based upon…. Attitudes are based upon…. Actions (from the time we can walk) are based upon… So next time…

People trying to make millions off of people with something they can benefit from. Worse yet, something they need. I always thought it was better to make a small profit on a large number of people in these cases rather than a large profit on a small number of people in these cases.

Everyone in Alcoholics Anonymous comes in with their own gifts and their oand their own liabilities. Honesty seemed to be one of my strengths while acceptance was a very bad weakness -and still is. Some people come out of traumatic childhood with a highly limited ability to accept (or conform) while others seem to develop a great sense of acceptance or conformity.

Some people from dysfunctional families turn out to be just like their parents while others turn out to be the opposite -extremes.

Not everyone in Alcoholics Anonymous can be a great sponsor or is…

For many years in Alcoholics Anonymous I was afraid to work with others, afraid I didn’t have anything to offer… *Afraid I didn’t have the right attitude for the job. For many years I was afraid to go to the soup kitchen – Fear, falls evidence appearing real kept me stagnant for many years in various areas. My advice to all people knew in any walk of life or in this case, alcohol it’s anonymous is to get involved as quickly as possible. The only way to get past fear of the unknown is through action, through experience -to know! As Spock might have said “We are all born unknowing”. Think of the confidence and the change in attitude we have acquired through experiences -whether they have been thrust upon us or whether they have been voluntarily….Let’s face it come many if not most of our childhood experiences were thrust upon us.They largely determined the people we are -or at least the fears we have overcome; and some of the fears we have adopted -I suppose. Something else Spock said, “For everything there is at 1st time”. Something God told me many years ago “For everything there is a last time”. Current “Everything for which there is a first time, there shall be a last time -as well. MAKE IT COUNT!!!!”

*From day one in alcoholic’s anonymous every person has something to offer. Find your niche but don’t limit it to only your strength. It’s. Some of the greatest achievers in lit’s to chevers in life did so in areas where they had little or no seeming talent or ability. They say that 90% of talent is hard work-Capish? That being said, you may not think you’re very good at this or that -but shirley you can find something that you are good at. Start there -wherever there happens to be. And the way a person finds out where “there” is is by trying; by starting from right where you’re at; by starting with what’s right in front of you 🤷‍♂️ “I KNOW NO OTHER WAY” -CARTER (2005).

There’s 2 basic reasons people don’t like or get along with one another:

•Too much like each other*

•Too different from each other**

•Or both in combination 😏

The law of physics doesn’t operate from your truth or my truth; it operates from a set set of laws and principles – Adhering to God’s way of thinking not yours or mine.

*Oftentimes, we cannot see in ourselves… but we see ourselves in others… If we like that trait in others -we should seek to build on it in ourselves… if we don’t -we should seek to change it in our selves. However, the soul always knows!!!!

**It seems quite natural to pick people who are very much similar similar in their way of thinking 2 hours. In certain circles it is almost to become an epidemic.. But we don’t learn anything from people who think the same way we do. And we don’t build character from peace from people who act the same way we do-who act the way we expect them to act at all times. Tru-shtory!!!! 🤷‍♂️

When I was about 19 I started picking up on a phenomenon.. I would say things and then picture the other person saying them to me and then evaluate them. Did they sound strange or did they make perfect sense?

When I was younger I did things for people so that they could recognize me or appreciate me because I couldn’t recognize or appreciate myself -my opinion didn’t matter (of myself). This is a terribly debilitating way to go through life. And you know what the message from God was in just about every case – “I’m not gonna let you get away with it”. You see in most cases, people never really showed their appreciation, or validation of my efforts. Tru-shtory! 🤷‍♂️
