As the way things stand now -a lot of men have to do without a woman unwillingly. In order for things to change now -a lot of men have to do without a woman willingly. But we men are too weak and too greedy and too selfish. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Do you think we should aspire to come or admire the approach and the responses of people in the dating game in this country given it lack luster history? Look at the way men approach women. And look at the reception of most women. Most men are hunting and most women are either hunting themselves or carry an attitude of entitlement.

It was recommended to me on my counselor to get on to -One of the major social media websites. One of the things I immediately found rather interesthing when initiating a chat with a woman, Is a little prompt that shows up immediately saying offer a compliment and choose from these by clicking here. I thought that very odd yesterday. But this morning I realized 2 things: People out in the world seldom compliment. As a result of this lack of practice most probably don’t even know how to give one anyways -hence the offer of selection to choose from on this website. THIS WORLD MAN! πŸ˜• SIGHS. I give compliments all the time -and I know how to give them.

This country is filled with men who kiss women’s asses. Like my friend Anna says, “what happened to their balls?” I’ve seen a lot of black men cater to women. On the other hand, I’ve seen many Mexican men on the other end of the spectrum. They don’t even have respect for their women. And before you go crying racism here, I’m part Hispanic. My dad was a primary example of this. If it’s OK for a black man to call another black man a n*****. Then I guess it’s OK for a Hispanic man to criticize his own race right? Like I stated previously, one of the stupidest things I’ve ever witnessed is white men have been called into Washington to testify if they’ve ever used the word n*****. Did they bother to call one black man in there and do the same? No! And if you don’t think black men use that word, you must be living under a rock. What’s my point? Is it less offensive when it’s used by a black man than a white man? No it isn’t!

People say I shouldn’t judge. But where do I get that from? Americans and from what I understand people in general are extremely judgmental of one another. Some people will even attempt a technical explanation as to the validity and importance of doing so. Women do it all the time in the name of self preservation. But when I do it…

There’s nothing worse than wanting something so bad, but having to deny yourself, because you know it wouldn’t be good for you. Food is the 1st thing that comes to mind. The 2nd thing is getting involved in a relationship with the majority of people in this country – As a matter of historical-record, most human beings aren’t very nice people all the time. I think that’s my problem. My attitude indicates that people are not a very healthy diet for me. As much as I would love to have one in my life much like an overreater would love to have a piece of chocolate cake. It’s torturous having to deny oneself, but it comes down to a matter of self-preservation, and self-love!

One thing of young man told me many years ago is that women are worse than men. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I saw a movie where in my opinion they degraded women by saying, by inferring… look what women ate willing to do to survive. It wasn’t a pretty picture.

People get conditioned and they don’t even realize it, and if it’s to their benefit they don’t even want to change it. This applies to a lot of women and men in different ways

Women are not the only ones who have been hurt

Alot of women whether by conditioning or by conscious expectation expect us men to compete with the other men out there. Perhaps because there’s women they have been conditioned to have to compete among one another. At the end of the day or by circumstance, man is still very much an animalistic creature!

They tell you when Alcoholics Anonymous and in counseling not to have expectations of others where to keep them low. But h***, everyone in this country has an expectation of someone. Women of their husbands. Fathers of their children… the employers of their employees. The American people of their politicians

“No human beings were injured during the making of this film.”

********************It dawned on me this evening after talking to a woman on Facebook who has 5 children. She told me about how she had been struggling to make ends meet. So I offered to give her some she was ever able to get across the border. She said nobody does anything for free. That’s the kind of experience she’s been having in life. A woman severely in need surrounded by people who want something for something. I felt compassion for this woman. My attitude and my demeanor have been different for the last hour hour and a 1/2 ever since. It also made me realize what I continually carry around is a lack of compassion for women based on my own pain and feelings of being rejected.

A lot of other countries don’t consider certain things as insults like we do here.

*FACEBOOK Oftentimes life can be an escalator going down while we’re trying to go up. And the thing of it is, in order to go up we have to make an effort that outdoes life itself. Because if we don’t outdo and outlast life, then we will surely go down or backwards, rather than up and forwards. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I know this isn’t easy for some of you to hear -as is the case with me -being a number one offender. Many of us Americans think we know-it-all; as is the case in many countries around the world. But there are also many people around the world who are not only humble -but recognize their own ignorance [->the capstone of humility?]. These people quite often are open, and as a consequence; absorb new information, and suggestions readily*. I think many of us should take notice of their invaluable example.πŸ‘

None of us is perfect. We’re all on a journey, and if we’re lucky we continue to learn aome things along the way.

*Ever wonder why some people learn fast and others do not?

Find out for yourself! Are you willing to do that? It takes courage! It also takes character!

Only the Strong Survive certain things! But the weak the Strong Survive many different things.

Each person has their own rules. And sometimes that’s a good thing and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s a better thing and sometimes it’s not-speaking of individuality that is. Society doesn’t have all the right answers -trust me!

A lot of people speak their mind [like me]*. It’s not necessarily a bad thing and it’s not necessarily a good thing. But I know there’s a lot of things in this society that are deemed inappropriate or rude when they shouldn’t be. Some of it is the content but most of it is the person’s intention. What I’m trying to say is there’s a lot of content this day that’s red flagged that shouldn’t be. Additional income there’s not nearly enough emphasis put on a person’s intent. We judge people merely from what we observe and based upon our own perceptions strictly in many cases.

*It’s not so much that I’m bold as that I tend to have a thinner filter than most people do.

What do you suppose the are for a relationship lasting where each person gives 100%? Then just imagine the numbers at 50%!

How difficult do you suppose it is to give 100% to your relationships continuallyβ€½ Well frankly, qith all the distractions and superficialitiies going on in this country today the answer to that question is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE [IMPOSSIBLE]. So what does that tell us? It tells us that as long as we continue to live under this sort of reality, our relationships will continue to be at risk, and sub-quality!

Today it’s the pain of certain realities that have just about been around since the beginning of man’s existence [being booted from the [GARDEN]. What that makes me realize is that I’m nearing the end of the road and entering a new one. For the last 33 years I have strived to address my issues in the hope of being rid of my suffering and problematic life. Now I believe I am coming to the place where most of my issues have been largely resolved and what’s left are life-problems, and the problems plaguing humanity from the start. What I know now is that my life will never be pain free. Only that I have the choice each day not to be a part of the problem -which you people have taught me.

  • if a skilled craftsman is plying his trade while scrambling an egg, talking on the phone, and worrying about how he is going to pay his electric bill… how many of us are juggling just like this while trying to have relationship with their wife, husband, children, GOD, and of course our selves! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

However you get it -get it!

Relationships were never that easy to begin. And of course now that we seemed to know less and less about what we’re doing and have less and less time to put into them… Less and less willingness to give rather than take… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Is it honest, is it true, and is it sincere?

Just because it happens to be true doesn’t mean we should mention it necessarily.

Your heart not only has to be protected but it has to be prepared. And going through life day-to-day whether we know it or not, whether we are willing or not, we are preparing our heart for the emotions that will come back and radiate both inwardly and outwardly. What we do in life and what we experience in life prepares our heart for the very things that it was made to manufacturer or radiate. Various organs in the body secrete…. The heart, the emotional heart secretes…

When a person goes against their own defense mechanisms even though they’re unhealthy calm and they do it too quickly.. It can have a worse effect than the actual consequences of the defense mechanism itself.

I get the feeling that a lot of women these days don’t want a man who’s a pig but they don’t want him to reserve their proper either to the point where hes boring.

It was hard enough when things were a little more in our favor to make a relationship work. These days it seems almost impossible. And from what I understand and tell me going to get worse.

*****I guess what I was trying to say in the meeting today is that if you think you’re ever going to get well enough that you no longer feel pain [in life] [or that all your pain is going to go away -maybe that -but where did the pain start to begin with? LIFE and life has a habit of repeatingitselfno matter how well WE GET] or no longer have problems… GUESS AGAIN!

There’s what we focus on and there’s how we look at things. These all affect our emotional and mental and physical and spiritual States. Remember what I said earlier about having to prepare our hearts, our emotional hearts. I have been reckless all of my life in this regard.

I’m guessing a lot of people aren’t very healthy. I’m guessing the environment were operating within is not very healthy. What I’m saying is all of these things are not unrelated to our establishing relationships to one another. I’m guessing the majority of it is having a direct impact on our ability to establish relationships between one another. The relationships in humanity is where our strength and power lies. And when we start thinking individually calm when we start thinking about ourselves in all these sick and twisted ways, hour place in relation to the whole of humanity, those relationships are generally what people focus on, try and effect, manipulate, exploit, conquer… Or try and be apart of!

Even though women say they don’t like being treated a certain way by a man, they’re overblown ego and their deflated self esteem and their heritage all betray them.

It’s not just that women don’t trust their husbands or their boyfriend’s, they don’t trust other women. Look at a man who’s got a beautiful woman and have jealous he. He’s going to secure he gets. And men tend to be the more intellectual than he. You imagine a woman with a highly attractive man? The female of the species is probably more competitive when looking for the right man to create a nest and bear offspring with and brings stability to that process than a man is.

There’s not just a lot of hurt in this country there’s a lot of arrogance. Both of those are deadly to form in relationship.

A picture isn’t always better than a 1000 words lol A picture isn’t always better than a 1000 words lol πŸ€” A picture may be worth a 1000 words but it’s not always better than a 1000 words lol In fact, sometimes it’s not better than a 100 words lol

Sometimes what we don’t do is the most spiritual thing in the world-Buddhism? What’s the main purpose of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous? Is it to get us back on our feet spiritually and live right and have a right relationship with our creator? Once you begin to do that instinctively again is that called living the program and the steps rather than working them? I don’t seem to be doing much workgladly as far as the 12 steps go in practicing a lot of the suggestions formally, but I am trying to live right and do right by God Teachings.

You know what I think rich? I think you got something supernatural going on here, and I think God’s on top of it all the way!

With us human beings it’s largely about competition. Some are qualified and a lot of others lie and manipulate and pretend. The ones that aren’t exactly qualified and aren’t willing to lie though why and manipulate ant pretend… Well you know the story about nice guys finishing last right? And now you know why so many men lie. Because women have little sympathy for their plight. When they should in fact. If women were more empathetic men would be less inclined to have to manipulate.

If I’m willing to give everything I own to someone I don’t know can you imagine what I’d be willing to do for the people I do? If Jesus was willing to give his all to those who didn’t know him, can you imagine what he would be willing to do for those who do?

It’s only my opinion but to me there are 2 basic masks: the one that says “let me see what I can get out of you” and the other one that says “stay the h*** away from me”.It’s only my opinion but to me there are 2 basic masks: the one that says “let me see what I can get out of you” and the other one that says “stay the h*** away from me”.

There’s what man does to us; and then what we do to man and hence to ourselves as a consequence.

“If you don’t get in the game you have no chance of winning. But… πŸ€” the game is brutal and merciless”.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Even many of the seemingly most positive people out there -have a major grudge for having to abandon themselves in order to survive! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Do you really think most of these people know what they’re doing? Even if they are successful and well liked seemingly?

It would probably take a 1000 or 10000 people the level of awareness that floats around in this one brain of mine. Which is why it is so difficult for anyone individual to be able to relate to me. If you look at the body of work to date, please tell me how many people carry around all this inside? Perhaps they do but they’re not letting anybody know about it.

The adult male is the most neglected and forgotten individual among humanity. Also lmost feared.

I was told earlier this morning that I don’t necessarily have the best social skills and that I talk excrssively. Do you remember when Luke Skywalker 1st met yoda? He would do a lot of talking and he was going through Luke’s things without permission. Like a person who had no social etiquette or awareness of others whatsoever. He was like a child who didn’t know any better. Whether or not this was strictly the case or if he was testing Luke I’m not sure. But you can be sure that yoda had it on the ball a lot more than the rest of us. As with God however our ways are not his. In American society we like to pride ourselves as being all grown up. And what exactly do we have to show to be so proud of in this society for being all grown up? Most of our relationships are a mess. Are children are in crisis as is the future of this once great country. Everything I just mentioned is the epitome of a great country not the wealth and a surplus and the power.

JESUS didn’t come down here because everything was fine in the world! And with regard to your argument about whether or not Jesus actually existed, we know this much calm of the world is definitely a need of a Jesus to come down here into the world and save it. Some people try to play this down. But answer me this, if the world isn’t so bad then why are so many in this country filled with fear and mistrust these days? The either have an overblown sense of reality or our societies are riddled with people to be feared and mistrusted. Now you tell me which it is?

Who are the walking dead? I bet you didn’t know that there were actual zombies walking around in society!

When we become attached to others we take on their pain! When we share our pain with another person’s it is cut in half! Yin/yang.

The things I drank over were still there when I came into AA. MY BROKENNESS, THE WORLD WITH ALL ITS… I GOT TO DRAL WITH MY SHIT SUCCESSFULLY. AS FOR THE WORLD -IT’S STILL LARGELY THE SAME!

Empower people but don’t give them power OVER YOU!

There are things we allow ourselves to do when we are single that we feel would be wrong if we’re in a relationship. But the Gray area there is that there are things that are wrong whether you are single or in a relationship I-tryi to remember that period.

You know human relationships are messy and they are basically self constructed. If you try to approach them in a manner that defies this…

I’m surprised a lot of people in the world now that yes I’ve made the transition, no the difference between a lack of drama and Serenity in their lives.

Your perception of yourself in the world is everything with regard to not only how you will be perceived but… let’s just say it’s an aura that allows you to float or sink.

Part of me is scared to death of people and part of me doesn’t give a s***.

With regard to approaching life, dealing with people Thomas sometimes you gotta be on top instead of on the bottom.

Some people’s 50% is better than some people’s 100%. How does that make you feel?

The danger saying is I really don’t know what I am.

Life is either tearing your heart out with cold indifference or merciless rejection or God is saving you.

The less I think about the things that bring me down, the less I get brought down.

You know some people experience life long back pain? Some people experience life long emotional pain!

People won’t stand for me make it harder on them to connect with me. So I suppose I should return the favor?

The advantage many people have as they have no clue. Because people who have a clue.. I see this over and over again… of people blissfully passing by while I sufferings… Disparagingly…

What have you got? What I’ve got I’ve got written down! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

When it comes to a relationship with a woman some men can do all the work-I can’t!

Some people can be in the middle of a storm and stay calm-I can’t!

Just let it go the way it goes come and God will be there to walk with you through it just as he has a 100 billion times before.

Some men don’t care about what the women want comment what matters is what they want to.. But I care because I want something mutual.

Some men don’t care if the woman wants to be no longer in their life, all they care about is that the woman is in their life.

Some women want you to fight for them. Some men are willing to fight for a woman even though that woman is not necessarily invested in him. Some women will start a fight and have their man finish it for them. Well that’s a woman that really cares.

I may be a tower with holes throughout the exterior of the structure but that material was used in order for the tower to reach even higher at the top.

I’m a little leary of people, scratch that, I’m a lot leary of people, and I shouldn’t overlook that, I shouldn’t fight it.. Too many people do simply so they can get what they have no business getting.

Many men bring money to the table. And as hard as it would be for many people in this society 2 comprehend, money is not the most important thing to bring to a relationship.

If you’re one of those people who makes a relationship harder rather than easier for me, I’m out of there.

People aren’t usually as smart as they’re trying to be.

I can’t say as I’m very comfortable around people -well there’s nothing crazy about that.

If you want to but won’t, you probably can with the right. If you don’t want to, you probably can’t with any person.

“THEY’RE JUST PEOPLE!” Some people develop a fixation or a complex to the point where people have tremendous power over them. There’s that Yin-Yang again. If there are people who have a God complex. Then it only stands to reason that people have a deity complex with regard to human beings. At least in one instance I believe it refers to being stuck in thstage of development where human beings towering over us appear to be God’s. I think that applies to me some. You could probably produce people like this wfor sale with a minimal amount of understanding of how this comes about. Aren’t we human beings simply fascinating on both sides of the microscope?

It’s not just about turning the other cheek; when a person can take a hit, when a person can take a number of hits and remain steady and even hopeful, if not loving -it is perhaps one of the most powerful demonstrations of all human traits or abilities!

Making friends with others generally works out better with those who make it easier for me rather than harder for me. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Ancient Chinese secret?

If you’re not good with people, being nice is a good…

A 100 years ago being nice and being friendly was admirable, even expected. Now it’s looked upon with either disdain or great caution. What is happens to our country?

I don’t belong here -if I did explain to me how a person can have so much broad and in depth awareness of humanity and still not fit in?

You know what’s cool? Doing what’s right and treating people right even when they don’t treat you right. The coolest thing is setting out on the journey GOD has planned for us.

If GOD is a punishing God then why did he create Alcoholics Anonymous?

LARRY-There are many wonderful examples in Alcoholics Anonymous. There’s a gentleman that I know of who exemplifies gentleness, a degree of humbleness, level headedness, and gentleness. These are many of the attributes that are the fertile ground for us to be able to connect with one another. And these days we need more than ever.

If you didn’t like the 1st half of stairway to heaven you love the 2nd half. If you didn’t love the 2nd half of stairway to heaven you’ll love the 1st half lol

It’s not so much that it depends on what mood I am in as it depends on what preceded that mood to begin with.

DON’T THINK-JUST LIVE!

It’s very important that you STAY SMALL through this!

I should have done this Facebook dating differently. I should have went in thinking along the lines of the highest standards. Quality rather than quantity. I’m not saying I was looking for 20 women because that is not the case. But I went in there with the attitude of throwing out 20 lines once I kind of figured out what was going on, hoping to meet one and a couple of friends. That is the absolute truth! But I think things also were a little bit hazy walking in. We have to be sure of what we want, that is a must! We have to be sure of what we want as much as is possible before we walk into a situation not during or after. It’s so easy to get into trouble otherwise. I can’t afford to let whatever feelings or notions floating around in my brain to derail me from what at this stage I think I have a pretty clear idea about.

I talked on the phone yesterday with the gal I met on Facebook. I had mentioned that I was frustrated because you ask people how they are and how their day went and… And they either don’t answer you or they answer you one time and then you don’t hear from him again when you proceed to the next call conversation. She told me that women want to be interested. They don’t just want to get the standard initial interaction. Which only frustrated me further lol. But what came to mind just now was that there are many different people out there. You don’t have to grab everybody from the start in order for them to privilege you with their time. Some people are just looking for somebody to be real and decent -trust me! I think those are the people we should look for. But of course everybody’s different and everybody’s looking for something different. Some people like a challenge. That’s not something I’m up for. You know the other thing is that I thought about howhat I’m looking for in a person is decency and being real, and some substance. I’m not looking for somebody to grab me I’m looking for somebody that I feel It’s just basically a good person. A person who has the ability to care and who appreciates the fact that I care. Of course there has to be an attraction there but… I guess everybody as their own string with regard to that. Substance would be a real bonus. That is to say having some deep conversations. Loving people who are simplistic are equally awesome however.

Do white men approach white women with the idea of needing to entertain them right off the bat? It seems to me living in the area I live in that that is the case with the Hispanic population. Being a very passionate race they are looking to be swept it seems.

Some people will tell you that you shouldn’t get involved with certain people. Insinuating that no one should get involved with them. But nobody should walk this planet alone unless it is deemed so by God himself.

A lot of people go along with society because they cannot think no reason for themselves to the extent which allows them to challenge the status quo comfortably. Others because they do not want to suffer the consequences of having done so.

We may be entitled to our feelings but were also responsible for them.

You Make a comment to one woman and she gets offended, you make the same comment to another woman and she finds it humorous.

Forget about what society tells you, when a man and a woman come together it’s between the 2 of them.

There’s essentially 2 kinds of people who date or connect with others. The ones would know what they’re doing and the ones who don’t know what they’re doing. With regard to the latter, it’s a certain kind of don’t know what they’re doing not just any kind. In either case people always seem to be looking for a certain kind. That’s what we do.. Some people will just accept or have a broad scope of acceptance. But most of us don’t.

The more of your personality you reveal [or spirit] the more people are either drawn to you, or repelled!

The writing may appear negative in and of themselves -as was inferred by another recently. Bit in and of themselves is not their intent whatsoever. Ultimately they are intended for people to reroute, or regroup.

As someone once pointed out, the dating game is rough -there doesn’t seem to be too many free-lunches as with all of life among we humans. But perhaps the issue at hand is that whether most of us want to admit it. We are looking for a pass, or a free lunch in one regard or another. Just imagine two hookers trying to pick up on each other lol. Someone’s gotta pay for lunch at some point!

It’s not about an ocean of people who cannot be trusted. It’s more about an ocean of people who either can’t be trusted or who are unqualified. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

************All I can do is console myself for struggling with meeting people and maintaining relationships of various kinds. ALL THIS AWARENESS!!!! ALL THIS DATA!!!! ALL THIS REALITY!!!! I FEEL LIKE DARTH-VADER WHEN HE SAYS TO HIS SON “IT’S TOO LATE FOR ME LUKE”. And it’s not as if I get to see the fruits of it -all I see is the negative side of it planted; that is the seed with the hope of something good sprouting from it in the lives of people I will never even know [probably long after I am gone as is so often the case with significant impacts on humanity (hopefully) I won’t even enjoy a legacy because by choice I have chosen anonymity]. It’s very difficult to participate in society, while writing about them at length and at depth -at the same. It’s like the burnt out cop who [can’t help seeing] sees society as “them” rather than as “us”. So often, not a thought, but a feeling “I wish someone could hold me, that I could hold someone”. Partly, I am a victim of the very world that through these awarenesses -I have become all-to-familiar-with! πŸ˜” A victim by design [cause and effect rather] of the various awarenesses that have made me all-too-familiar with this world -and it’s trappings! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ A person cannot stare into the abyss for long without being gravely effected! β˜€οΈ<- I knew a young man many years ago who on LSD stared at the sun and burnt his iris’s/retinas[?] and ruined his sight for life and wasn’t allowed to drive.

When a person begins to lose faith in humanity, in their fellow man, all sorts of things can begin to go wrong. Thank you God for reminding me of what I could not recall but tried about an hour ago too.

I have forgotten so many of the things of youth that likely made it possible for me to relate to a woman at all. Sayings and witty little gestures. I probably forgotten more things than a lot of people ever even knew. I know it’s cliche’ but maybe it’s true. Hey, a rhyme! Lol

I don’t think I trust people very much. But it’s not so much about that childhood trauma that pervades [transfers over to the idea that everyone’s screwed up] all of humanity skewed to the extreme. It’s reality. And honestly, most of us, whether we had issues that skewed our approach later in life or grew up quite grounded and healthy, STRUGGLE WHEN WE SEE WHAT HUMANITY LARGELY IS. I mean even when you deal with the baggage of the past which skews your perception and causes you to tar all of humanity with the same brush. Once you get a realistic taste of humanity, you kind of sort of end up in the same place. Not trusting πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ WOWSVILLE MAN!

You know there’s not a lot of free lunches in this world but I’d like to think that I give one out here and there because I’m not cut throat. I’m not just in it for me.

This is a very stressful society. It used to be the people that drank excessively in this country where the odd man out. Now everybody’s doing it because the structure has changed so much in this society. Now when I talk about stress I’m talking about all kinds of stuff. Including people being estranged from one another. And just think about how much harder it is for an alcohol that can recovery and an addict in recovery to stay sober these days because life is coming at us 247 like a Chinese drop a water torture chamber. We don’t have any relief man except for the work we can do and the people we can reach out too. I guess everybody has their own relief. People drink and drug and have a relief people in the 12 step programs have one. But they’re not being bombarded 247 by reality we are.

How do I say this? I have a vision of being everything a woman wants me to be and nothing she doesn’t want me to be. Or rather, being wholly helpful and thoughtful without being problematic whatsoever.

Your thoughts, certain thoughts will deteriorate your ability and your readiness to perform.

Some people’s history, family background, relationships encourage them to act in an unhealthy fashion rather than in a healthy fashion.

You know why I never got anywhere in life? Because every time GOD gave me something my ego and my arrogance and my pomp and I don’t know what else would step up. And even my defiance and even my disrespect.

How is it that some people who don’t know what they’re doing manage to succeed? And many people who do don’t?

It’s hard but hardly impossible for me to switch from a serious frame of mind to a humorous frame of mind. I don’t mean in the moment I’m talking about a significant dynamic shift.

All you’re doing is putting a damper on your potential to side numer with the thought you have going on currently. Think certain thoughts and… You encourage or discourage a frame of mind that is humorous and light..

There are many ways and many doors to view in any given Play she happened to be at that’s affecting you based upon whatever’s on your mind or whatever you’ve gotten yourself into or whatever you are exploring…. They appear to each have a different effect on how we feel or something beyond that that leaves traces in the form of feelings. Naturally we all wanna feel good or confident or safe for hopeful…

In every given situation from moment to moment the key to success is doing what needs to be done not what you think needs to be done. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Where did that 1 come from? You’ve heard the old saying, “He was the kind of man who did things the way you wanted them done; not the way he wanted them done”. Well if you do things the way the situation wants them done rather than the way you want them done, you should have success every time. Of course there are scenarios that counter one another. Forces in any given situation that often conflict. In this case, you have to figure out which force you want to obey so that the outcome lost in the malaise will eke out ahead in the end. Are there multiple forces in conflict; or simply a part of the scenario that you can serve that will produce the same outcome? Or does every force produce its own separate outcome? And what about combinations? Do they often align in such a way that you can so to speak kill-two- 🐦 -with-one-stone?Encourage multiple forces with one act? Can you encourage multiple forces with one act and still have have a different outcome regarding each force? Or still have the same outcome regarding each force? What happens when multiple forces can reach the same conclusion individually, and yet they are all encouraged together? How does that work?

JESUS didn’t need technology; HE could produce any outcome/thing at will.

Some people repeatedly knocked themselves down and still manage a degree of success. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

If you are experiencing repeated failures and there are a lot of factors working against you. We’re one very powerful 1 that is consistently overriding everything usually. Just as if you were experiencing repeated success is you would have to conclude there are a lot of factors working in your favor. Or one very powerful 1 that is consistently overriding everything usually. So what are they? Are they above the surface factors or below the surface factors?

Don’t get too wrapped up in these things, they’re just fleeting moments!

There are people you don’t like because they hurt you so you don’t prefer to be around them. But how can you hope to assert the sort of impact on them that God himself might have been in their presence -if you choose not to be in their presence?

As GOD deemed it so! We can solve just about every problem or come up with a solution for just about every problem collectively, but not individually. We have the power to defeat everything that comes with God’s help, but not without it. Think about it πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Life got so much better just not drinking, I lived on that for a very long time! With others it’s different.

I used to say, the world hasn’t changed much, but it has! Just not for the better in many areas.

If we marry someone drunk why would you wanna be married to them when they sober up?

We have a problem in the rooms of Alcohol Aynonymous and them telling us about a GOD; but we didn’t have a problem with drinking or taking drugs through the hole in fence, or from the bootleggers. We’re when they’re telling us to trust in God all of a sudden we become so particular.

There are people who drink alcoholicly but they’re not alcoholics… 90% of the people in this country are on something.

People in Alcoholics Anonymous want the freedom to choose their own God. But when someone else chooses the God of religion or Christianity, these people repel and don’t want to hear. They’re not practicing the very thing they want others to practice with their beliefs.

Is it a matter of life-and-death? Then don’t worry about it!

Don’t let your mind s**** y** over phantoms to the point where it debility. Like when we think somebody doesn’t like us or is not attracted to us we played over and over and over and over and over in our head until we find ourselves in front of them on a date and we’re a wreck. I tell you the women I impressed most are the ones that I’m not attracted to or don’t really care what they think about me.

You would be surprised how many people say one thing but really inside they are experiencing something completely different. Like they will say, I’m not attracted to him or her, I’m done dating for the rest of my life. They tell that to a person that’s attracted to them and then they start acting totally different as they get to know them and fairly quickly too.

Some people recognize the value need for fostering growth in others [by allowing or encouraging them to DO IT THEMSELVES].

Just because a lot of the pieces are falling into place didn’t mean that’s the person for you. Seriously. And not only is that the criteria for most people. A lot of people never dawn to the fact that that’s just life happening, and that someone else… Is out there for you with the most important foundation of all which will allow the most important blossoming of the relationship to take place.

Probably not trying to make things hard on each other, trying to make things easier on each other is probably one of the best ways to insure the quality and longevity of any relationship.

Man likes to minimize his risks not maximize them. Living by certain principles often means maximizing risk in certain instances. For example you meet 2 women right around the same time and you like them both and you are unsure about what the future holds with either one but you only want 1. But at the same time you feel guilty about courting both of them. Not sleeping with him but simply getting to know both of them better at the same time. You could pick one early on but what if it’s the wrong one? What if it doesn’t go anywhere? By choosing one over the other sooner rather than later you increase your risk of winding up with nothing -possibly.

Some people may not be aware of this but they use some pretty filthy language in the movies in the sixties and seventies as well.

Everybody’s life is interesting. You don’t live and laugh and love and love and love and love and lose and… That would be an interesting. Some people just seem to lack the ability to write it up the way it is. They overdo it, they underdo it, they leave this out…

There’s always something interesting to talk about! Other people and the conversations they have with others is living proof of that. Some people just can’t seem to get there though.

When a person speaks from the heart it’s easy to come up with purity. When a person connects or reconnect with love for life, it’s easy to be loving. But so many of us too often fail to speak from the heart. And so many of us have our love within us buried under hurt, fear, ego, anger…

If God has a plan you don’t fight it unless that plan is to build strength and character in you. Which is how strength and character are built! But what if…

When man is faced with the decision between what GOD wants on the left and what he would prefer on the right… Like a woman he desires or feels is perfect for him versus what GOD has had planned for him all along and picked out especially for him.

In man’s mind the discrepancy is huge while in GOD’S it is very little. In man’s mind the discrepancy is very little while in GOD it is huge.

So many human beings walk around thinking they’re hugely different from their fellows-is that really the case? When the difference between a man and a monkey is only 2%? A black man and a white man is 0.5%? Something along those lines

***** When a person who wants to quit drinking crosses paths with Alcoholics Anonymous something very special happens! And bill Wilson talks about how what would normally take years can often be a accomplished in a matter of months. Well it took me decades to get where I’m at. Which tells me I never would have gotten where I’m at by myself. It took me forever to get past the anger and the feeling that I was owed, or deserved better than what I had gotten as a child. A word of advice, GOD doesn’t move very fast when we demand in anger, or think HE owes us [Bill W. mentions this as well -in the child’s greedy little Christmas-list]! I either demand a things from people or I put myself in harm’s way for decades before and in sobriety. It was a combination of ego and anger – 2 very formidable opponents.

It dawned on me over 20-25 years ago that for whatever reason[?], A person who is underdeveloped or immature emotionally, tends to age more slowly. Like me when mine was stunted? Or is it more someone with a youthful mentality or spirit?

Some people are great as understanding power between us human beings. They always know how to end up in that position. Some people are excellent at manipulating to where things are always on their terms. There is a rule whether it be in the universe or somewhat skewed among humanity that once something has been spotted that works better, ultimately a shift will take place towards that… Are black players who are often faster, and more durable as quarterbacks -the thing of the future?

Humors’ always a bit risky, just as telling the truth is!!!!

When you are unaware of either yourself or others or have a connection between yourself and others, you cannot satisfy people. That’s not exactly what I mean it encompasses much more than that. But what I’m trying to say as a person who is in touch with themselves and others and has a link between the 2, when they for example make love with another person they know exactly what to do. What feels wonderful and how to convey it.

When you get overly upset the 1st thing one should ask is what’s really wrong? So many people think that what or who they’re angry at is what or who they’re really angry at. Take the stain out of it especially when it’s someone we care about or especially when it’s a situation or outcome rather than a person really eating at us. The thing we want to avoid most is hurting ourselves or others.

People are so shocked when they see somebody they know get upset for the 1st time. Why should you be shocked? They’re human aren’t they? And you’re human aren’t you?

With regard to sexual impulse, women have more control over there’s than men -which is why they have the power. Take notice man!

Money I suppose is a necessity of life. They even allude to it in The Bible. But I wonder just how much to set up in this country and in the world of late has got a negative connotation. Or maybe it’s the lack of something else? When people lose their wallet or lose a money order or lose their jobs they become so terribly frightei did that they often go into fits of rage or take measures that are extremely unscrupulous. So how can dependence on money then be a positive thing? The way the system is set up and here to allow such things needs correcting.

Spiritually Transmitted Disease. It appears somebody wrote a book by that title but I came up with or was told that by God some 28 years ago maybe more.

And often times they reveal more about us than we care to know.

It’s just an estimate calm about 10% of the population has a gift in any given area. Some people in relationships. Some people in music. And we look at these people in these areas that either personally or generally speaking are the areas where humanity seems to long most for success And then we envy them. There’s gotta be another secret to life than just “the gift”. Something deeper. My original point was that the biggest problem with relationships given this above statement [10%-rule] is that most of us don’t know what we’re doing [we’re limited in our natural abilities which means WE HAVE TO WORK!]. We probably don’t even realize it so therefore -we really don’t try to do anything about it. The fact is -most of us are either too lazy or too distracted elsewhere, or in denial. Hard fax? Have a better suggestion?

You have to wonder just how invested someone is in a relationship when they never get upset. Aren’t relationships supposed to be about Passion to a certain degree?

A friend of mine wore a shirt years ago that read “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted”. That was 30 years ago. How profound has it turned out to be in my own life?

A lot of women aren’t just afraid of being harmed by a man but by how a man makes them feel. It’s two obstacles, negative and positive as usual.

Things are always fueled by money. Anything that man builds or does he seemingly wants something out of it. A simple little thing on a website that you would think there’s nothing really behind it, but people are counting their pennies as they come through..You know there’s no law that says that we can’t evolve past money into a system of love. And don’t tell me it wouldn’t work because too many people would take advantage of. There are plenty of people taking advantage of the system as it is right now. From the bottom and the top.

People don’t have just one conversation anymore a lot of people on social media are talking to 5 people at the same time it’s ridiculous. But who cares as long as that website is making money right?

I understand that our society has not only become very lazy but short with their attention span. I guess when you’re writing on these social media sites to one another you gotta keep it short into the point. Otherwise people will just wander off. What a wonderful place America has become.

It’s a miracle how the body can go for years with an improper diet and still function. Same thing with the soul. The human spirit.

We’re not in charge of other people -GOD IS! So if HE allows something to happen -it’s for a good reason. And HE sure seems to allow a lot to happen -so I guess HE’S got a lot of good reasons lol. By the way, what would life be like if we could control other people? It wouldn’t be life would at all! It would in fact be a life centered around ourselves wouldn’t it?

When something goes wrong you can’t always backup [or out]. You simply cannot unscramble that egg. But sometimes when we’re headed in the wrong direction, we can backup -we can unscramble that egg. What’s happening in this society as indicated, among other things, with our economy -we can backup! But one of the problems is that no matter how bad things seem to get certain people always seem to benefit. So they resist I’m doing things even though it would benefit far more people. And many of these people unfortunately are people in power.

You know how they say sometimes people work things out a certain way to get a certain outcome? Like they will say, why would I do something like that knowing I was gonna get caught? The answer, because when you get caught then you can say why would I do something like that if I knew I was gonna get caught? But the problem with this ploy is that you will forever in certain people’s mind be suspect. You don’t get off Scott free.

*FACEBOOK Some people cannot simply say “no” or refuse -IT’S JUST NOT IN THEM [AT THAT TIME]. So they have these rather elaborate subconscious schemes or coping mechanisms that come out after the fact… I know it seems messy, but asks what’s so many human beings, we’re a mess. We can all say to each other in one area or another, “Why did you do it that way”. πŸ€” “Because I’m not quite right in the head -of course” lol”.

*FACEBOOK Many bad people see the world itself as bad. Once again, I had to look up a word to be sure. Therefore, they have no “compunction” whatsoever about returning the favor to the world itself. But every now and again they will run into a kind caring soul and think twice before they act. So just imagine the transformation that could wholly take place in such an individual -if we were all examples of kindness and caring [which we should be anyways πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ]! At the very least, the individual would have to repeatedly think twice to the point where he would perhaps no longer wish to wreak havoc on the world πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ And BTW, for our own part in this ~WE REAP WHAT WE SOW~ WE ACT COLD AND INDIFFERENT [AND THAT’S NOT THE HALF OF IT WITH MANY OF US] WE GET IT BACK 10-FOLD? Oftentimes we harm/snub our fellow human beings in subtle ways. And oftentimes when we return the favor it either goes completely over their head or doesn’t seem to make an impact whatsoever. What bothers us, may not bother other people. Sooooo, what often happens in the world is that people retaliate under these circumstances in not-so-subtle ways. When a sensitive person is harmed or offended by an insensitive person, it often requires the sensitive person who has been harmed or offended to retaliate in a more aggressive fashion in order to produce a similar degree of harm. Human beings, not being the most attuned… Will often overshoot the mark without even thinking twice about having done so becaaaaause, quite often, our retaliation stems from multiple offenses over time which continue to mount into an emotional mountain of pain and anger that many of us simply carry because our normal processing which should alleviate the effects over time regarding each of these experiences simply isn’t working, or working fast enough or effectively enough -which is why so many people either lash out, seek counsel/therapy, turn to drugs and other addictions, or commit suicide eventually! πŸ˜”

Pay attention to the people who make an effort in the people who do not. Not all of them are selfish self-centered prix. LoL

*FACEBOOK Just because a person knows a lot -doesn’t mean that they choose correctly or are able to choose correctly from their arsenal [pool of knowledge] when people seek advice or counsel from them.

*FACEBOOK There’s 2 ways of gaining an advantage over your fellow human being: Making yourself stronger; Weakening them. Both are a common tactic among human beings unfortunately.

*FACEBOOK I said the other day that for someone like GOD who is in control of everything, HE sure lets a lot of things go, let’s a lot of things slide, let’s a lot of things happen. There are at least 4 reasons why HE does this. The 1st is that HE loves us beyond comprehension. The 2nd is that HE gave us free will because of that love. The 3rd is that HE wants us to learn and grow in HIS likeness. And the 4th is that HE wants us to gain merit through victory over our struggles. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*FACEBOOK People don’t ask for GOD’S will to be done, they ask for HIM to Grant us our will. And when this doesn’t happen we either become angry at HIM or refuse to believe HE exists any more. See the fallacy behind our logic to begin with? The fallacy that we think we know more than GOD; and the fallacy that we think we know more than GOD with regard to how to love.

*FACEBOOK Man was created [meant] to become strong through struggle ~not weak through apathy! THINK ABOUT WHICH ROAD IN LIFE YOU HAVE CHOSEN! Well, πŸ€” Apparently that became part of the plan after the fall from grace. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*FACEBOOK There’s a difference between a strong America and a healthy America [in this case]. People seem to have lost sight of that. And also an America that could be stronger. An America that could be “all it can be”, rather than an America that only needs to be so strong. Our strength and our integrity as a nation should not be dependent upon the state or condition of the world around us. If we found ourselves living in a very weak world, does that mean that we only need to be so strong and make so much effort and exert so much of our resources to be just a little bit stronger and a little bit better than the rest? NONSENSE! All-too-often man does just enough – And forgets his children, and his fellow man are watching! πŸ˜”

*FACEBOOK We’re [some people are] more concerned about what other people think than we are about what GOD thinks. We know we can’t hide it from GOD -but we do “it” anyways. We know we can hide it from other people and that’s precisely what we do. If we knew we couldn’t hide it from other people we probably wouldn’t do “it” in the 1st place. PEOPLE… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Again, sometimes I get annoyed at the way GOD has set things up in this universe. It seems as if it was designed for us to be able to screw up too easily. 😏

*FACEBOOK You think all we need in this country is a strong army, alot of things, and a lot of mistrust? You think we can survive on those things! Along with a sound effort to separate ourselves from those we feel are not worthy of us [Separation by classes]?

Thieves are a fact of life and some people are terrified of the idea of being taken advantage of by then. BUT GOD says there are ways around this. Don’t put your treasures where thieves and moths can get to them.

*FACEBOOK Whatever you’re worried about -stop worrying about it, just do what you can and leave the rest to GOD -And trust me, GOD will do HIS part ! And trust me, it’s an unbeatable combination once we have done our part [it’s a done deal]! And the end outcome is not the one on Earth -although you can put all your eggs in that basket if you so choose. GOD operates from the vantage point of eternity and a Heaven far and away from this place. So even when things don’t turn out the way we wanted them to, ultimately we can still win [the war] if we don’t allow ourselves to be pushed off the balance-beam-of-Grace by these outcomes. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Seriously how many people go to a pawn shop to pawn something because they like the atmosphere? It’s desperation usually. And there are things that a pawn shop can do for you that nobody else can. It’s just a cold hard transaction with stuff of value of front and money over the counter and return. And one never wants to offend GOD -if it can be avoided.

It’s no crime to be poor -it’s the poor people with no values we have to worry about. πŸ˜” But even then, we should not despair over these matters too much. The offender is usually worse off than we are [compassion], and the one who offends us is the one who offends GOD!

*****If you practice guitar even though you don’t want to learn it, YOU’RE GOING TO LEARN IT -SAM AS ALCOHOLISM!

Too shy [cultural], too afraid, too arrogant. The difference between beautiful men being hit on versus beautiful women! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*****10,000 hours to become a master instrumentalist. A master diamind-cutter, an alcoholic. And just as what, only 10Ωͺ even if they reach the 10,000 hour mark, they will not reach mastery-level! Same with addiction, only a small percentage, no matter how much they practice can reach that pinnacle. Becoming Alcoholic, becoming an addict is the pinnacle of that endeavor respectively -but it’s an upside-down pinnacle!

*****Don’t manufacture more shit in recovery!

SPIKES occur in people’s IQ! IT’S AN AVERAGE REMEMBER!

When a person who is already gifted hones that gift further…

**********FACEBOOK Just enjoy the ride and stop thinking you’re doing the driving –GOD IS!

I think I’m turning into one of those guys that you either love her you hate lol

*FACEBOOK When somebody says something that offends you and they didn’t mean to, that’s a huge difference from someone who is. But with a lot of people, having pointed that out -they don’t seem to get over it. There’s a big difference between intentional and unintentional -but there doesn’t seem to be a big difference with some people in terms of their [initial] feelings once they have been made aware of their own misinterpretation -get it? I’ve seen this!

*FACEBOOK Worrying weakens us! Playing things over and over and over again [in our minds, in our πŸ’•…] distorts us!

*FACEBOOK Some people need 5 years [or more] before they can begin to open up to the possibility of having sex with someone, while other people only need 5 seconds.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*****The pinnacle of low bottomness-alcoholism and addiction!

*FACEBOOK It’s a free country; people can do what they want. It’s just too bad so many people don’t know what they want. And worse yet, what they need! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

*FACEBOOK Would you trade your wife or your husband for your [restored] health? HONESTLY! Would you give up your health -to restore theirs? HONESTLY?

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†From now on, when somebody asks me what I do for a living, my response shall be “I don’t work, I write!”

*FACEBOOK We pay so much money for an education so we can earn a living. We often do it for the sake of our partner and children. But how much money do most of us invest in learning how to raise a child and give them everything they need? And then there’s the pride of having the freedom to raise our children as we please. Pride in the fact that no one can tell us how to raise our children, when in fact -in many instances, that is precisely what is needed in the home. The point is this, how important is making money [and all it can provide] versus raising our children properly?

*FACEBOOK A lot of people go to work so they can buy a 1/2 a million dollar house for a family they seldom see [hardly know]. Don’t you think it’s better to live in a $150,000 home and be there to participate and watch your children grow up? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Some people deal with relationship problems and family problems by living at work.

*FACEBOOK If you really want to screw over your enemy, get him from the day he is born and raise him wrong. I was speaking with some people earlier in the day about how people who become Alcoholics don’t do so intentionally. And yet their actions in the form of repeated drinking over many years is precisely how most people get there. In addition, most parents do not raise their children to have them go through life unprepared and with continual struggles with normal everyday experiences. They do not raise their children with the intention of them growing up sitting on a couch in some therapist’s office trying to figure out where it all went wrong, while their peers are out enjoying the full fruits of life in this wonderful country of ours. Do you see where I’m going with this? One of the most important things you will ever do or decide on in this life is -whether or not to raise your children properly.

—————————————-

Many adults either have children, or end up with children who wind up being the parent [or companion] to them -rather than the other way around. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Women tend to be more open with their friends than men do their friends. Women often are granted their children in the separation or divorce were as men or not. And we wonder why men act the way they do -running around! Some men make better parents than women. Some men love their children more than some women. And yet almost unilaterally -we grant custody of women to their children.

Abortion? When abortion became legal the religious people rebelled. Now that abortion is illegal the abortionists are rebelling. The people who are pro abortion felt that the people who were not should comply with the law in many instances. Just as I’m sure now the anti-abortionists feel that the prohibitionists should comply with a law. Women going to shady places to get abortions is no reason for making abortion legal. And this thing about a lot of women using abortion as a contraception… BS! And this idea that a man and a woman get together to create a child and thit is solely the decision of the woman to make that decision when it was 2 people voluntarily creating this life… that’s a fallacy! The idea that life doesn’t begin until a certain point. They had to come up with some kind of an excuse before they could kill it. Before they could convince some of the hard liners to soft enough a little bit and either become neutral or even supportive of their cause. Sounds like a bunch of lawyer. I was like the OJ Simpson case. Oh yeah life doesn’t begin until… So we’re not actually killing a child. Can you imagine if they had just come right out and said yeah we’re killing a child but so what we don’t want it and that’s what matters most. Well that would gain little support from any side. It always comes down to support.

In a person talking against the system gains a lot of attention and support here she becomes a threat and that’s when the government steps in. Additionally, do you really believe that the American public are running this country or are in charge of it? As is stipulated in the Constitution of the United States of America. Try rising up against the government as an American people and see if it won’t try and do anything necessary to survive like any organism.

What happens when everyone breaks a law?

A lot of people couldn’t comprehend why people who owe child support were not allowed to have a license when they needed a license to pay the child support. These people [10% ?] were being punished perhaps rather unjustly in order to be used as an example to the remaining 90% who also might be tempted to revolt. Without incentive many people are not going to voluntarily give up their money -Not even for their children!

One person screws up and we all pay. One person screws up and then make a new. We don’t need more laws in this country we need more law abiding citizens with common sense and deeper values. The more we screw up the more license we give the government to control us. And the more the people around us go along with it for their own safety.

200 years ago people were willing to die for freedom. Today people are willing to give up their freedom in order to be safe. That is a big mistake! 200 years ago the government was a 100% accountable to the. Is that percentage has dropped significantly. Think about how the government and corporate America have benefited from 911. It really makes you wonder.

Man always gets over punished by man -but never so with God. Because with man not only is man being punished for his crime hes being punished to set an example and to discourage others from following suit.

A lot of things went unchecked in this country for a long. Unpaid child support. DWI… It wasn’t until the government was able to figure out they could make money off of these things that they started to act? Seldom lead this man put his efforts into an endeavor that only drains or puts a burden on the system rather than a return. Efforts that are of a good cause [strictly] seldom make the grade. Money Money Money!

Man is an opportunistic creature!

MAN-THE-HUNTER -When we stopped hunting deer and rabbits -we started hunting each other!

*FACEBOOK People like to pick on JESUS! Degrade HIS status for example. The idea of JESUS getting married and having children doesn’t seem to fit with some people’s idea of purity. A lot of so-called “HIGHER-UPS” in the church in particular. If the Blessed Virgin was the spouse of GOD HIMSELF representing all purity. Why couldn’t JESUS have a spouse as well, originally representing all that is impure? And my second point is this? When we use human standards of impurity with regard to our selves… sure, JESUS looks less than pure. Third pointz how arrogant are we to try and judge JESUS by our own human standards? Who are we to judge JESUS when we ourselves are so flawed -and HE has demonstrated HIMSELF to be so perfect? The old saying ~WE HUMANS DO -BECAUSE WE CAN~ We are also often prone to placing opinion above respect and regard for… What do most of us really know about respect at the highest level -let alone reverence! We revere the rich and the powerful and celebrity in this country. Really??? That’s our foundation [OUR TEMPLATE] for “THE HIGHEST REGARD FOR…” πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

If I were satan, I would be doing exactly what he is doing. I would do my level best to ensure people are skeptical of my existence. While also doing my level best to ensure people are skeptical GOD doesn’t exist [either].

Darwin -man is so easily duped [the easiest thing for a human being to believe is a lie that he or she wants to believe. And the hardest truth to believe is the one you don’t want to believe]. That’s why conmen and men who try to exploit women are often so successful. Because they tell them what they want to hear based on self-interest on both sides is why it works. In the case of the man exploding the woman for sex. Don’t both sides want something selfishly and greedily? If a woman is not allured by a man’s waving of bait under their nose… The woman would not be vulnerable. When a man temps a woman by telling her that he is going to do all these wonderful things for her… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ A woman should not be so concerned about what a man is going to do for her as she should be with regard to his character. This is the greatest way to ensure protection from being taken in. And the same goes for the con artist. And also the politician. America will never be great because of politician solves other problems – Let’s be clear about that!. The only way this country is ever going to be great again is by the average americansidism standing up-and-doing what’s necessary. But we’re so run down and. That’s also ignorant of what’s really going on in this country… If the owner of a store is never around, the store starts looking more and more like the employees that work there -rather than the owner themselves. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

We refuse to believe, many of us -that The Bible is GOD’S word incarnate. But we believe our government and we believe our scientists… Based on what? Have any of us… How many of us have gone to school so that we could literally dissect the information we have been fed? How many of us are given access… so we can literally come through the evidence for ourselves with a knowledgeable approach to what we are looking at before our very eyes? How the h*** do we know that dinosaur is made of real bone at the museum? And this business of evolving from a primate… Based on what evidence? How can we ourselves as laymen confirm that evidence? Every theory sounds wonderful until somebody who knows what they’re doing challenges! Just like everyone has a plan until they get hit. People are going to challenge these writings. Let them do so! While satan has a problem with scrutiny –GOD does not!

Money is afraid of risk, love on the other hand is at its best when facing risk! Go apply for a loan at the bank with lousy credit… Now go to a friend or family member who truly loves you… And ask to borrow money from them!

As the stock in money goes up the stock in love has to go down. As the stock in love goes up the stock and money has to go down. Money is highly limited and what it can do, love is not -except for in our own πŸ’• [hearts]! When there is little or no love in the world, money and materialism are everything! Do you understand? People who are looking to get rich and exploit humanity really want as little love in the world is possible. You take the Walton’s for example, the seventies TV show, people were sitting around in their living rooms talking at the end of the day about how each other’s day went. How much money was corporate America making off of people like this at that time? Assuming even if they had a lot of money, if they were sitting around talking with each other and listening to the radio how much money was corporate America making off of them? None!

Now about the addictive model! Nothing like a customer who needs you! Historically the greatest scheme for ensuring success in a business is the model of the drug dealer. But if you can transfer that over to the masses somehow… Restless irritable and discontent. Is shutting out God. Low self-esteem and self-worth. Isolation.

By separating us as a nation the government and corporate America each accomplished something vital to their empowerment and very existence: Divide and conquer! These are very old concepts! When you divide something you weaken it. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ These are concepts I wrote about 28 years ago. Some of them 15 years ago. They are some of the very best! And for some reason -at this time, God is chosen to revive them! To awaken them in me! Now to continue! AWARENESS! What did Jesus come for if not to bring awareness! Truth with love! In the early part of last century when America was strong and United. The government and corporate America were like puppets. There’s one thing power and arrogance cannot stand, it’s being a puppet. The Kent State debacle – I believe that people in this country have been working very hard for a long time to make sure that that never happens! We’ve been hearing for years “You can’t fight city hall!” This country was founded on the concept of fighting city hall calm and anything or anyone foreign or domestic who challenges us FOR GOD-SAKES! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Nowadays nobody wants to fight city hall because they figure it’s a lost cause. And you know what… you would be absolutely right! Few people can assail in single handed combat and emerge Victorious! When you go into a storm complain nobody gives a d*** Nowadays. But a 100 years ago, when there was something wrong, the whole d***** country protested. You should have seen the reaction from corporate America. Now they just stare at us and yawn! It’s always a matter of power. A 100 years ago America had the power. Now that Americans have been convinced they need all this junk -corporate America is selling them… Corporate America has the power -and rightly so [we are now the puppets on a string*]! Arrogant power hungry people hate being subservient! People who hunger for power want only one thing, more power! It never stops! Which leads me to ask the question where will it end? If man refuses to halt his behavior… That behavior is destructive… Then it can only end one way-destruction!

I always thought the idea of JESUS having children running around on the planet was a wonderful thought -not a demeaning one! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*And this is all largely taking place with things we don’t even need. I understand now corporate America is starting to buy up land regarding foods. If they have power over us with regard to things we do not need imagine what kind of power they will have with regard to the things we do need! Tell me something, when a company put something on sale you think they’re doing it because they like us? Business as usual can be the most cut throat thing on Earth. Just as I believed many years ago that women were the soft spot in society, would I have been told and what I have witnessed personally is that many women can be as cold blooded as they come. I believe my aunt used the term ruthless one evening with regard to this subject.

If one person can make a difference! Then imagine what we can all do together! The powers that be -have always has been afraid of the masses uniting. Our money is our greatest weapon in the society such as this founded on commercialism. America could make government and corporate America tumble within a week simply by changing our direction and our priorities. Start it in that direction anyways.

When I was on a path of destruction with my addiction that final year in 1989 I was scared shitless. Imagine something destructive. Imagine being powerless over than your own life. And imagine it having the facet of picking up speed and progressing as time goes on? That’s a pretty scary scenario wouldn’t you say?

Depending on what a particular society values, determines the gifts each of us have been granted by God as defining success [capable of attaining success -of course some people are highly adept -most of us ARE NOT]. People who can sing great are highly valued in this country. People who know how to make money or highly valued in this country. People who know how to act are highly valued in this country. But I will say that some of the greatest voices ever created by GOD will never see a stage or record a record. It is more likely never see a stage rather than record a record. People in power generally make the rules -that is understood. So they’re going to place the things of value in the structure that mirror their own abilities and skills.

People having to go to school to learn how to act human? What is it that grabs us in movies? What quality does an actor have to have in order to grab our attention? What do we all lack in society that so many people shun us or simply behave as if we don’t exist at all? We pay to see people in movies who represent what we aspire to be!! Or what we loathe! The two extremes [emotionally charged]! We haven’t the slightest interest in sitting around watching those who fit somewhere in between. That is to say, the typical human being by our own estimate!

How many people would pay you or me to see us act? Pretty sad when you think about it!

Negative attention is better than no attention at all! At least when a man sees an attractive woman, he has determined she has some value. However base that value may appear. And however many women may see it as lewd. Believe it or not, many women actually benefit from that attention emotionally and in their self-esteem. Now you take the woman who walks past the man and asks if he has nothing whatsoever to offer. This has the complete opposite effect on his psyche and his emotions. It develops within him a complex, an insecurity, a feeling of worthlessness. Which in turn translates to neurosis possibly as well as anxiety and even anger or rage. So who creates these scenarios? So fulfilling prophecies! Why wouldn’t women be afraid of men walking around feeling like this? But the real question is why would women treat men as such? Are we not civilized? Are we not caring and compassionate?The answer in many cases is a resounding -NO WE ARE NOT! We are simply out for ourselves like everybody else we perceive as such! Or just as we were taught growing up! Or both!

When the car is in the driveway we have no real concern about going out and taking a ride or going to the grocery store or going to pay a bill. When the car is in the shop… We tend to get very anxious knowing that that option is not available. Even though we may in fact not have any need for it at that time. Women take great comfort in the notion that there is always a man out there available to them if they so choose. Man on the other hand tend to operate more from the notion that the car is in the shop and that they must constantly be finding ways and means to get their needs met under those circumstances. Understand? Women carry around a certain confidence with regard to the opposite sex -that many men with regard to the opposite sex lack. Do you think the based on my experience on this planet that I am of the mind that I can just walk out my front door just about any time and get a female? H*** no! That reality in turn creates a lot of anxiety, even fear! Probably the same fear a woman has of walking out her front door at night and being accosted. In both cases we take extra precautions don’t we? Extra precautions to ensure our own safety or survival or future? With women it’s more here and now and perhaps with men it’s making sure that our seed lives to see the future [atleast that seems to be the popular theory]. I’m not sure I would agree that that’s all it’s about but…

Now men and rape and power. How many of us as children felt powerless over our mother’s? How many mothers yielded their power over their young children thoughtlessly and carelessly and even brutally at one point or another? I think it’s humiliating for a man, even at an early age to be controlled or abused by a woman. I was recently told by a counselor that the most under reported crimes in the country are men being abused or raped by women. We are ashamed! Ashamed of being considered weak!

If you look at the power and the depths and the scope of these writings-it ruins a person’s approach to all of this so-called humanity. You know how hard it is to write about all this and then come out into the world and try and participate in it?

When a society is divided 2 things happen. We take away that society’s power. Well also instilling in them a certain need to fill that void of lack of community and fellowship. In the addictive model, there are certain facets inherent to addiction. Alcoholics and addicts are notoriously separated from people increasingly as their addictions increase. They shut out God. It’s been a while since I’ve recalled this so bear with me. Oh yes, they are restless irritable and discontented. See all these things occurring in modern day America on a massive scale. And now we see people spending money frivolously left and right -At no other time in the history of this country has corporate America been more happy! Our attitude is we need them and their attitude is they don’t need us -even though they need us every bit as much now as they ever have. They have been working at this for a very long time! When you weaken and separate a society they become less of a threat to government and they become needy because like the monkey in the cage… it has a very powerful need to socialize and gravitate. That is why a wire monkey with cloth cloth is so vital to this monkey survival. In America today in the absence of any real community or even the time to invest in it…………………….. We are searching for relationship with objects. If you take away a vital need from an organism, it will gravitate to that which is available in its place. Take away human community and put a bunch of materialistic garbage in its place… And human beings will attempt to bond with it or socialize with it. Behavioral specialists have known this for a long time. We learned a great deal about human beings in the early part of the 20th century and while in many instances it was initially intended to help humanity, now it is being used to exploit humanity!

Super Bowl tickets! Nowadays this group has to choose to buy this or that but do without this or that. There are so many groups now that corporate American can afford to survive under this framework. It could not do this a 100 years ago! The number of people who are rich in this country has expanded over the last 100 years significantly. While the size of a basketball stadium or football stadium has pretty much stayed the same. That is why tickets are going up because the rich people are now fillling the stadiums. Did anybody see this coming? In many instances it appears corporate America could care less about the average family attending there highly celebrity functions. That of “the playoffs”. $3000 as of 5 years ago to attend a Super Bowl in the nosebleed section? And things are so great on the corporate scene nowadays that they’re able to buy 20, 30, 50, 100 of these tickets for clients who could care less about the game itself. POMP!

Bosses will always tell you that they’re under the wire as far as profits. Then one day they invite you out for a party on their yacht.

You know how you can tell when you’re paying too much for a product or a service with a company? When you hear on the news that they just bought a 10 billion dollar company. Swallowed up a 10 billion dollar company I should say.

I used to go to a store. They gave great veterans discounts and had lay aways on their guns. There’s another company bought them out and there were no more veterans discounts. Companies grow in size due to choice to do business with them. Give us all these perks in the beginning. But being resentful at us for having to cower to us to begin with in order to grow and expand-once they do grow and expand they give us the finger! What kind of gratitude is that! Bank of America at one point tried to charge its members to use the ATM It rebelled and Bank of America back down. You see? Corporate America is always watching to see what their competitors can get away with so they can follow. Ericans should be doing the same exact thing! It’s corporate America keeps lawyers on hand at all times geared up for a fight. They also know that the average American is not prepared to do so as well. So corporate America gets away with a bunch of s***. Corporate America rarely challenges the rich because it’s too expensive. So they challenged the poor who tend to simply cave in. It’s the same old story about the powerful challenging the weak. It’s the bully syndrome.

Why does man keep failing to progress and certain areas? One reason is that when it’s not broke he tries to fix it. The other reason is man is constantly trying to get the upper hand with his fellow human being. He selfishly withholds critical and important pieces of information to himself. He also continually tries to mislead. Instead of information and quality building in ensuing generations… We go back-and-forth. We rise and then we fall we rise and then we fall with the idea of a select few looking to rise themselves above all and every.

A man made world where man can become God. In God’s world man is far too limited. But in a man made world man is God.

Corporate America is slowly but surely taking the power out of the average employee. There’s no longer any room for fairness or empathy or compassion on the part of the employee dealing with the customer.

The system always places itself 1st and the individual 2nd. That is why there are more people than there are jobs available than people. And how can we expect for people to not turn to crime in a society that is unable to support all of its people? Can we blame people? I don’t have a problem so much with a man breaking into my house to feed his children. But I do have a problem with a man breaking into my house to feed his drug addiction or to take a woman out on the date.

At the end of the day man is a creature that is easily manipulated because he operates off of shallow, flimsy structures designed to serve himself -rather than GOD and others.

If you make survival or anything else on this planet the top priority, satan has already won! JESUS gave us an example of how to subvert power on an earthly plane both with regard to satan and our fellow.

*****FACEBOOK First they try to bribe us, and if that doesn’t work; They try to threaten us; And if that doesn’t work they threaten to harm those we love. By the time it gets to the latter, people are more than willing to comply. In order to put an end to crime and satan’s reign we have to stop caving in! In order to put a stop to politicians doing what they do… We have to stop falling for their lies and stop expecting them to bail us out. You will always attract to a mouse trap a mouse when you use CHEESE. You will always attract shallow politicians when what you offer them is a lot of money, perks,, and celebrity -rather than hard work, low pay, and little appreciation. Only principled people will accept or undertake this sort of responsibility. Nowadays politics is big business. Is it any wonder we have increasingly shallow people applying for the job!!!! THINK ABOUT IT! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*FACEBOOK In a hold-up, or hostage situation… for example, people [almost] always fall for the ploy, “We’ll let you live if you cooperate with us”.

*FACEBOOK Depending on what part of history you take a slice from, the world either looks like it’s getting better or worse.

*FACEBOOK People who are unfamiliar with the history of the world think we are living in the end times. Fact of the matter is -there have been places in history where the world was far worse. So who really knows! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Just my opinion -what do I know! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*FACEBOOK If people stood up to crime and satan, “they [crime & satan] would lose their steam”. Anything meeting with resistance generally does in the known universe [except… always reach for more, or less depending…]. But when a person stands up to crime or evil in the world, they naturally draw [negative] attention to themselves. They in fact often pay a heavy price. What’s that old saying, “In order for evil to triumph -all that is necessary is for good men to stand by and do nothing.” As long as people are more inclined towards saving their own skins rather than standing up for what is right, evil will continue to thrive! Have you ever seen someone out in public do a courageous thing? It’s quite startling isn’t it?

**FACEBOOK Little-by-little the system is attacking the individual. Quite often, the attitude in this country is that as long as it isn’t me -but only my neighbor. Don’t worry, sooner or later they’ll get around to you, and then to those you love… That is why we have to start standing up for one another. As long as we continue standing up for ourselves they will continue picking us off one at a time… until it’s too late. They use the natural inclinations of humanity against us. Which is why it is so important for us to go against our own natural inclinations -which tend to doom us.

It used to be that when someone was dishonest, it was frowned upon and considered very surprising. Nowadays it seems that when somebody does an honest act… It is viewed in similar fashion.

God says there are 2 things man has a problem with. What a man has [envy]; What a man is [jealousy].

Often times, the things that sound very nice and poetic -are being passed on as truth. And the things that don’t sound so nice or don’t sound so poetic -are simply sloughed off.

Imagine how much money we spend in this country, waste in this country on esthetics. Man, especially the arrogant and the hottie like things to look pretty as well as functional.

If you look at mankind and it’s cities for example, Actually appear to be pretty cold.

I think the gold and precious metal resources along with other resources which have been carefully placed and distributed throughout the world give balance to and effect this planet and its rotation and movement around the Sun and otherwise; and when we started removing it we began to throw things off.

The more the population is growing and the more man is drawn to materialism, the greater the stress we will put on the resource base in this world.

Why did GOD distribute the precious metals and other resources the way he did?

We think we own this planet. We put up borders and fences and other obstacles to either keep people in or keep people out. Our local University has got fencing all over the place where we once were able to roam these beautiful fields and walk our dogs and jog. People tell us where we can and cannot go on this planet that God gave all of us. Corporations are buying up various properties around the world and skyrocketing the values. There was a time when there were 2 few of them to cover the entire globe. Now that the rich have expanded and the notion that money is where it’s at and not principles… people are going on a rampage and just bind up for example all of the coastal properties and all of the places of beauty and trying to profit from it. Keeping out the poor and bringing in the rich.

At the tower of Babylon supposedly God-made separate languages so that man would not become too powerful. Too arrogant! For example in this country they are trying to do away with any kind of pure blood races. Everybody’s just becoming an amalgamum of humanity. When you break down certain lines and establish others… It paves the way for one rule. When we no longer have separation in the world that’s when satan can come in and rule over all. Imagine that we can’t agree on one God in the spiritual sense but will agree to one God in the physical sense: food, shelter, clothing -and the belief that one person can save us all -since by that time we will have long forgotten about God -most of us.

They used to have laws in this country against monopolizing. And of course mankind has seen fit to break down those barriers so that corporate America could continue to raise the ceiling on just how powerful it could become. With regard to capitalism once you reach a ceiling what is their left to reach for? Some people’s whole lives are about reaching for more. It used to be that the notion of being a millionaire was what people thought or dreamed of here-and-there. Then it became a little more people dreaming about becoming a billionaire. Now it’s an epidemic of people dreaming about being multibillionaires by the time there 23 like someone we know. Man’s animal self always needs more to achieve the same effect. In spirituality not so. And even if it does happen to be so -at least it’s beneficial and not destructive.

People continue to buy into this lottery thing. The only one that wins every week is the government.

Paying for water

Paying someone $10 $15 in order to take our payment. When is it gonna be a $100?

We don’t need more laws in this country -we need better people.

People in this country are beginning to place more and more emphasis on money rather than principles. Try this sometime, in the middle of the week park out in front of any local church and see how much traffic comes and goes in-and-out of the building. Then, park in front of your local bank, and see how much traffic comes and goes in-and-out of the building. It’s a simple exercise with profound results.

When is the interest rate going to be 40 50 60%?

I’ve been saying for about 10 years now that prices are going up and the boxes are shrinking in the grocery stores. I think now we’re down to 52 oz half galfun jugs of Orange juice! Half gallon ice cream containers are shrinking down to one-and-a-half, or even one-and-a-quarter. GEEEEEEZ… .The new way of doing things in this country and in the world… They want us old people to die off so the new generation has no clue about what it really meant to have a good life and what it meant to be fair and just and what it meant to be free and what it meant to believe in God. So the things like charging people to take a payment can be common place and not an absurdity. Do you remember what real half-and-half tasted like 50 years ago? You buy half-and-half at the store to day and it tastes like milk.

Now I know why people in 12-step programs with a lot of time blow their brains out rather than get drunk or high. The greater disparity in spirituality between these individuals and the world, the more frustrated and disillusioned they become.

They say now the key to winning a war is to get people to willfully surrender. Willfully surrender their rights and their freedoms. That seems to be the case now as people begin to lose both hope and courage. Once again, The people who founded this country stated “Give me liberty or give me death”. But nowadays people are saying “OK, if I have to give up some of my freedom to be safe, so be it!”

*FACEBOOK When George Orwell wrote his book, he may have been trying to warn the world -but he also provided a template to those who would attempt to exploit and rule it. Anytime you bring something profound into the world, even with a good purpose, that power can be used to the detriment of mankind. Again, why do GOD make it as such/allow it? FREEWILL?

*FACEBOOK I understand that a person can walk into a building, a certain building in Washington and look at the plans for building an atomic bomb. But they will not allow you to look at certain papers drawn up by Tesla with regard to his theories on gravity.

*FACEBOOK What is taking GOD so long?

Removing the commandments and certain statues from government building…

As I stated previously, covid not only could be attacking weaker areas of the body in the present -but it could be going after things programmed into the DNA to appear later in life as well. People with Alzheimer’s in their DNA or dementia could be experiencing it’s symptoms far sooner in life rather than later at its appointed time naturally.

I don’t want to offend people-but I can’t help it if the truth does! This is perhaps what I was brought into the world for!

The most critical or vulnerable time for an alcoholic is when they put the bottle down and haven’t yet grasped the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Don’t cause yourself pain you will eventually be forced to run away from to various venues or avenues that will harm you or cost you dearly in the end!

If someone denied a war that your son went and fought in and died for calm how would that make you feel? How do you think God feels when we deny that Jesus is our savior? Did he die on the cross for our sins in agony?

Facial-expressions [when stressed or in an awkward…] can often break up the…

“I don’t need anything more than a good woman I’m attracted to.” πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I don’t need a beautiful woman I only need a woman I’m attracted to. I don’t need an attractive woman I just need a woman I’m attracted too. I’d rather have a woman I’m attracted to than an attractive woman but I’m not.

If you are in a conflict or struggle, the thing that you don’t give up on is the thing that will win up. I’m referring to being between the solution and the problem and the direction you choose to go in end the direction you choose not to go in.

The more information a person is able to take in, like a fishing net… The more negative information about human beings and your environment your apt to capture. Along with positive information as well naturally. Life is filled with balances correct? But when it comes to negativity or threats, Human beings do not tend to weigh them in terms of negative, or “bad to good” [ratios]. They simply weigh the negative or the bad. So a human being who has a greater awareness will filter in far more negative than someone else who is not. Get it? There’s not a balance when it comes to our survival between good and bad. A threat is a threat in most people’s minds -and that tends to be taken solely on its own. What’s my point? With that being said… far more intelligent [aware] people, granted that they too are not taking into account the balance between good and bad, will see the world as a far more threatening place than others. πŸ‘€

We all miss things -but the difference is are you one of those people that’s willing to admit to it and do something about it or to Slough it off or get defensive when people point it out!

There are two kinds of people in the world: The ones who have flaws and can admit to them and are willing to do something about them and the ones who cannot admit to them and are unwilling to do anything about them.

Women keep going after the same man over and over and over again. The man who looks good on the front end -only to discover he is anything but on the back end!πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

would you rather have a man whose mediocre but willing to improve… tortuous or the hare

Don’t pick someone who lacks the ability to commit long-term!

Through the struggles we go through-and-through the struggles we our children go through even the struggles we ourselves put them through calm and they have a choice to fall by the wayside or to become stronger and greater in character.

Look at Wales with all their scars from living life-are they ugly? H*** no what would they be like perfectly smooth?

Human beings can be the greatest gift to one another or the greatest curse.

God never gives us more than we can handle but we ourselves often take on more than we should and can handle

It should be enough that God allows each of us to take part in his beautiful plan as it unfold then to try and step in and take all credit for it ourselves. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

In the Jewish culture kids are considered responsible and grown for their own conduct at the age of 12. I think there’s something to be learned from that, something to be learned from these very wise people. In the United States it’s not that at all. But we’ve learned some pretty hard lessons over the years about how that probably should have been something instilled in our children rather than them thinking they can get away with things much longer than they should have.

the Jewish for example of a much older Nation than we are, we could learn a lot from them.

many Jewish people are poor even though there is a percentage of them that seem to excel to the very top of the ladder just as is the case with the blacks.

STREAMLINE EVERYTHING!

Maggie I’m probably more like you thought I was than 8 years ago now lol

I can be extremely funny or extremely serious but it all depends on something inside that precedes them that is established or created or lives based Upon my perceptions of the things around me and what around me is occurring

I don’t seem to have much choice in the biproduct of all of this but perhaps I have a choice in my perhaps perceptions and perhaps a little bit in terms of what is happening around me.

Maggie, I’m probably more now like you thought or hoped I was back then when you 1st met me 8 years ago.

When you look at other people who make far more money than I do, I realize the miracle of how blessed I am for what I have. It’s incredible

I have alot of fluctuations I’m my personality.

When you are able to begin to feel safe enough with people and with your own abilities with people… and a sense of worthiness to be able to participate in life… it’s magical the way we are transformed with regard to our presence around the rest of the world. When you are able to begin to feel safe enough with people and with your own abilities with people… and a sense of worthiness to be able to participate in life… it’s magical the way we are transformed with regard to our presence around the rest of the world. The short version of that I suppose is when you feel at ease with yoursel f.

For the longest time I had no control over my emotional or psychological faculties.

There’s nothing worse than pomp and arrogance in the face of God having granted us his grace to perform or function in a level that Allows us to participate in life in the finest fashion.

It’s not just how one presents themselves but the aura supporting it then determines if people will be turned off or turned on to your presence.

Well I’m working through my issues and trying to get better, you have to realize that there are other people out there that may not respond positively to the new U even if that new U is doing things in a healthy way. Because they’re not healthy. Because they’re still not healthy.

Do you understand the difference between applying self willed power versus GOD’S Grace and the presence of a situation?

God invokes every one’s help, but not every one is willing or open. When I tell people God has granted me the privilege of being a part of his work people look at me cross eyed and sometimes with I don’t know what. But I know and understand that God does not play favorites. If people are not a part of his plan it’s because it is either not the time yet or because they refuse to be open, to accept.

Once you know the principle behind something -the possibilities are endless.

What are the keys and life has been comfortable in your own. Once a person has managed to reach this level…

Wisdom? Is being able to predict, prepare or atleast recognize [the possibility] of something -not being caught off guard [of course don’t lose “the spontaneity-of-life”] by something.. Expect the best -prepare for the worst?

The key 2 women is don’t think about them too much. Is shame on the moon-Bob Seger?

A person on the comeback trail, once they have gotten themselves back… their “GOD-SELF” back, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

We human beings are the greatest gift and sometimes the greatest curse to one another.

Sex is one of the greatest gifts from GOD and one of the greatest curses between men [mankind].

Why did GOD make sex feel so good? Could man not even procreate if it weren’t? Or is it something that HE wanted to challenge us with in order to gain merit?

Love is not so much game of strategy, but a…[?] of patience.

When God begins to lift the veil from your eyes that man or ourselves placed there… β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™ŠπŸ‘Œ

FOR BABE When a person has made peace with their past, and when a person has made sincere amends* (deeply and sincerely as best they are (cap)able) asked for forgiveness… GOD doesn’t need…] to GOD for his transgressions, the flood gates of GRACE begin to open once again! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*I was grasping for the right word and of course an hour later God granted to me -contrition!

…POMP AND ARROGANCE IN THE FACE OF GOD’S GRACE IS SOMETHING GOD HAS LITTLE TOLERANCE FOR!

I can’t say that we exceed god with our intentions but we can say that sometimes with our intentions we exceed God where he has knowledge and knows better and we do not. It’s not a bad thing, it’s not that God is looking down on us because anytime we do anything with the right intention, Even in our ignorance, God Smiles down on us. But sometimes, man does act with goodness where GOD would not -because he knows it is not the ultimate act at the precise time!

Barry Gibb-good-looking men like that who choose or have a soul as such, can have it all literally! God gave me something most men cannot or will not ever have -but the other half, the other that is mine and mine alone to choose [by GOD’S offering…] -i’ve either squandered of rejected ALL OF MY LIFE! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Terrible, terrible thing!

Just enjoy GOD’S Love, Mercy, Generosity!

“I don’t think we’ll go this route -this time. The route we’ve chosen countless times leading hopeless and despair.” πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I can see now that when we allow ourselves to dwell in God’s Grace… But without God’s favor and without at least some sense that we are worthy -even though we can never be fully… Without both of these… And I’ve gone without both for so long… It’s an unbeatable combination in terms of thwarting GOD’S Grace… Never πŸ‘πŸ» [thumb] your πŸ‘ƒ up at “THE ALMIGHTY”! “GOD has been wanting to give me this gift [back] for so long! But I was so angry and so arrogant.”

When things work on us subconsciously, intently and intensely… For mankind without an example, he is lost! I finally was given a intricate example that has been missing from my life for so long. It was right in front of me for the last 14 and a 1/2 years. A man that could have been my father even though hes my peer. I cannot emphasize the profoundness of the impact is having on my life! In many ways the antithesis of my own father. RAY It’s almost embarrassing looking at a contemporary and appear is here in this way… But it happens to be true! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Once that veil has been lifted, we begin to see for one thing, that there are some incredibly beautiful people out there in the world-incredibly gifted with a God-self!

As soon as you’ve got [captured/recaptured] whatever “it is” -it [the law of “cause-and-effect” can happen just that fast [snaps fingers] around you!

They tell me I’m not responsible for other people and yet I feel I am with regard to my decisions no matter how healthy they may be. We are definitely responsible for how we harm people but now I’m told we’re not responsible for the incredibly positive impact we have on them once we have found grace, once we have found our way back to grace. Difficult concept πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I’m not even sure this is correct. Man, the ultimate bungler.

I have largely over the years discussed only one side of the coin with regard to these writings -the despair, the focus I have largely suffered at my own hands 🀲

A lot of people, a lot of young people in particular in the world believe that they should be able to sit on the phone for hours and talk to I suppose demonstrate or to bask in what they perceive as “the love’connection”. I lead a very simple, peaceful life-and therefore there’s not going to be a lot to talk about. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Therefore, we spend a few minutes on the phone here and there, and we enjoy listening to the love and the affinity we are developing for one another πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ IT’S ABOUT QUALITY NOT QUANTITY!

When a person feels unworthy it is impossible to calculate all the ways in which we shun opportunity.

GOD will prevail! The only thing satan has going for him is man’s twisted nature; and the ease with which he is so often duped.

A person, it is imperative that each of us know when we are wrong and when we are not in the wrong. How much they are in the wrong. If “wrong” is even the appropriate [too harsh] applicable term… Esteem, common sense, uncommon sense, wisdom, intellect to some degree plays a roll as well… because without this, life… relating… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

“I don’t think at this point in my life; I’m going to be spending much time anymore -contesting other people’s…” πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Oftentimes people will give off mixed messages-we should however pay careful attention to all of them. To each of them.

Teacher bowling flexible.

Some people have nothing to choose from others too much to choose from. Some people have no choices other people have too many.

Some people are good and some people only pretend to be good. There are a lot of benefits to being good. There are a lot of benefits to being [real or acting] good here on Earth. But that just doesn’t work with God when it’s not genuine.

The beautiful thing about Alcoholics Anonymous is that the same rules applied everyone. It really doesn’t matter how beautiful you are or how much money you make or what part of town you live in or how high your IQ is or what kind of connections you have…. That’s the beauty of the spiritual realm and of GOD’S…

I don’t know what other people are thinking and I have to be careful about how much time I spend trying to figure that out… Trying to figure them out… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

If we care so much like about this football player from the Buffalo Bills, then why are we so separated as a country?

Many people in 12 step programs don’t like the reference to their higher power as GOD! Does it matter what you call a shovel? It still can perform the same task cannot it? Where we get into trouble is trying to use it for something other than it was meant for I suppose. The 12 step program is an extension of our own limitations. It’s like a wrench -if you care to look at it in the most basic sense. Have you tried changing the starter on your car with your bare hands?

——–‐——————————————————–

The reason people in Alcoholics Anonymous fail so often is that they either take on too much too soon, or they don’t follow all the suggestions. Until we accept something… If I don’t accept that my tire is flat on my car -I’m probably not going to bother changing it. Acceptance in a way is an acknowledgment of reality. Acceptance is not condoning something. I used to tell people in the hospital that following the suggestions of the AA program each new day, is like waking up to a flat tire on your car each new day. In order to go back out into the world and participate -you might want to fix that flat so you can get in your car and drive off to do the things you need to do. Now the question with regard to this metaphor about following the suggestions of the 12-step program is this: Once the flat tire has been repaired, and you place the tire back up on the hub; how many lug-nuts are you going to put back on the lugs [what kind of mood are you in today -Lazy? Defiant? Angry? Jealous?]? Each one representing a separate suggestion from the 12-step program. 1? 2? 3? 8? All 12? The fewer suggestions we choose to follow -the more in danger we are of crashing! πŸ˜”

FACEBOOK Why do some Atheists tend to be more godly than some Christians? Why does their tree seem to bare better fruit than some Christians? It’s not so much about what comes out of your mouth [though we have to be careful nonetheless -what does], it’s about what is or isn’t in your ❀ πŸ’™ [what you let in and what you don’t let in] -that’s “Y”! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Some men think they’re all that. When you can create something rather than simply discover something GOD has already created… When you can create a new law that subverts or overcomes GOD’S… come talk to me!

To me intelligence is about openness!

Are people intelligent because they get things right -or do people get things right because they are intelligent?

It doesn’t matter what you call GOD! What matters is if you’re open to HIM. What matters is if you have a relationship with HIM!

Fine, protect yourself if that’s what you need to do! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

If we all got together and shared our innermost thoughts and… The nature of those thoughts… And how much trouble they cause us… We would without a doubt come to the conclusion that there is something evil in the universe affecting us, attacking us! This separation between so many of us is what allows the devil to continue to exist in the details prompted by our denial, ignorance, small sample [our own minds]; larger picture [humanities mind]!

There’s a difference between good people who make bad decisions that hurt you and bad people who make bad decisions that hurt you.

Seldom does something good come out of poor-decision making. Many of us don’t realize the profoundness of this statement. The depth by which our lives are impacted with regard to this principle. On the other hand, I met people who seem to always shoot for the very highest and best decision making. And their lives seem to be filled with the highest quality and the greatest freedom from what many of us suffer from regularly or semi-regularly.

Taking care of myself, or protecting myself, protecting my Serenity has never been my chief character asset in life or in recovery.

Recovery in a 12 step program is an act of love.

“Do what you gotta do -I’m not gonna spend any more of my days moping around over it”. πŸ’―

They are saying on the Fox NFL Sunday right now that we should all take a CPR class to save someone’s life. GOD told me 25 or 30 years ago that we should all be adept at some basic knowledge of various emergencies that crop up among humanity on a regular basis. But how many of us by the very fact that we know little or nothing about such things -are really concerned about ourselves or our fellow human beings? Can you refute the evidence? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

An Apple is a great way, and a lazy man’s way of cleaning their teeth after a meal, or after eating sweets. 😁

When a person loses faith in humanity -all kinds of things can go wrong in everyday life situations. All kinds of bad decisions can be made. One satan has planted this in our πŸ’•, he oftentimes has free reign. Emotions run high [and low] and isolation doesn’t help any either.

“I’ve been through far worse in my childhood than just about anything I’ve faced in adulthood.”

If you don’t believe there is a devil then explain to me why so many of the thoughts going through [planted in] your mind -lead you to make very bad/very poor decisions [often times when you know better -It’s not just about the thoughts; but the stirring up of emotions that create biases and distortions just prior to those thoughts, or during them, or even after them…]? Precisely what the devil would be shooting for if he did in fact exist πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Change your spots -and be thoroughly amazed at how different people respond to you for better or for worse! I am currently in the middle of going through a profound change in the way people are reacting to me. I heard many years ago that when I change [my attitudes, my behaviors, my perceptions], it’s amazing how much better the world looks and behaves. The healthier “I” seem to get -the healthier the world seems to get. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Just how healthy can a person get? Just how sick can a person get? SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING!

People start feeling better, or getting better, or start experiencing more and more freedom for example as they mature as young adults… Then they rush to judgment with these new opportunities. I may or may not be in a similar situation at the moment. I just ask that GOD let my life unfold where HE has intended for it too.

For the last 30 plus years when I pray to GOD I ask for HIS will not mine to be done. Only 3 or 4 times since I made that commitment have I gone against it. And there are a lot of things in my life that I wish were different. More than likely things that would not have turned out for the best. That’s my thought on it anyways. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ[GOD knows our limitations/what will work/what’s best rather than good or better (but we settle (even desire) so often for that which is inferior].

I love rock and pop songs or anything really that mentions GOD in various ways.

Most of us have this little window where we’re locked into a certain type of music at a certain age?

Who do you suppose was both the most skilled and dedicated special forces soldier in history? That would have to be one h*** of a human being. SEALS…?

Sometimes I like to picture this happening in the movie rather than that which was actually in the storyline lol

This is a no-brainer… But we really shouldn’t pull together to the degree we do –only when there is tragedy.

The sad thing about the AA program is that many of us have no idea how far so many of the other members have come. Sometimes the members themselves don’t realize their own life’s story at depth with regard to the miracles GOD HAS BESTOWED UPON THEM!

I noticed in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous many people seem very normal. Am I? For a long time I couldn’t relate to such behavior whether it was real or not. What about new people coming in who have real problems? How are they supposed to relate to these people? If you’re normal that’s one thing. If you’re not, you’re doing others and yourself a disservice.

Some people get deeply attached; but it’s either momentarily; or they get over it quickly when the relationship ends. Others not so much. And still others…

Give people what they want or act within the perameter of what it is they perceive as normal or appealing and they’re very happy with you, don’t and in most cases you’re not going to get anything/anywhere. And these are the civilized people of course. Don’t let me even start talking about the uncivilized ones.

What if it was the woman who had to perform instead of the man. And what if it was the woman who had to get it up instead of the man? If things were the other way around would women rape men? Why did GOD make it that way? Why couldn’t HE have made it to where the woman, who is [presumably] less aggressive -have the penis and the man have the vagina? That way it wouldn’t work.

If you think you as a fan are pissed because your team screwed up -how do you think they feel?

I noticed something very interesting about people who appear to be very devout, and how they are undeveloped [undevout/ungodly] in little things here and there whether they notice it or not LOL

Dale never seemed to change from situation to situation. That is to say like I do. My fluctuation in emotions leads to a fluctuation in personality. Whatever principle this is it also applies to people in other areas πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

A lot of things don’t sound right/good, but they need to be said!

The people who stick around, the people who support you-those are your friends!

No heavy drinker ever sets out to be an Alcoholic. From one perspective it’s what you do not know what you think or say or intend. That is one of the great laws of the universe. The next law is the law of intention. We are a good person or a bad person based upon our intentions regardless of our actions, and the outcomes!

You place a rug in the hallway, can you walk past it 5 10 15 times A-day… You are innocent practicing to eventually trip over that rug. Or challenging yourself to see how many times you walk over that rug without tripping over it. The scenario sets the stage; while our intentions set up the nature of the challenge. IS THAT RIGHT?

It’s not that GOD didn’t hear my prayers. It’s more like WE DON’T hear HIS! Maybe my desires were inferior to HIS for me. And also, It’s not all about me there are other people GOD is trying to serve. Just imagine GOD doing the right thing all the time while trying to meet the various wants and needs of others. Of course this could all be trimmed down to one thing; what’s best for everyone! Where the conflict comes in is everybody thinks they know better than GOD. GOD simply overrides this chaos, and sticks to the plan of doing what’s right for everyone; this basically eliminates any chaos/conflict with regard to HIS knowing. When you factor in our twisted desires, and various degrees of ignorance, then it gets dicey.

So often it’s about us not doing our part while GOD is repeatedly doing HIS.

here are a lot of things that confuse us about God’s existence. But what are the things in life that without a doubt indicate that God does exist and indicate his true intentions or nature?

LIVE CLEAN!

Living clean is the hardest thing for man to do; yet it makes the most sense!

It doesn’t bother me [so] much to admit when I’m wrong in most cases anymore – Some people it absolutely kills!

It’s hard to be completely rid of that hard-edge you adopted as a child.

Think about it, if there are impact 2 opposing forces influencing us. What might those forces represent? What might their tactics be? You gotta figure if they’re opposing forces or tactics too would be at opposite ends of the spectrum [atleast in certain regards -what does that mean?].

Yep, it’s just like I said 28 years ago, they’re going to start raising prices depending on the size of the clothing. Look at levi shirts on Amazon. $35.77 for extra small. Click on any other size $41.XX-$48.XX. Dumb!!!! And then on web it shows 35.77. Misleading. 95% of men DO NOT wear XS. I SEEN THIS BEFORE -man, 😭 the great manipulator -JUST LIKE HIS FATHER!

Most men aren’t attracted to men -that’s a given. But after a few failed relationships with women, they start not like women so much. What’s a man to do? You see the same thing with women in this time. Lifelong heterosexual women with children walking around in their later years with a woman -and their arm around each other. That’s another thing I mentioned 25 or more years ago. Once you open up that door to homosexuality being acceptable… More and more people are going to start using it for various reasons. HOW STUPID ARE WE? It makes me so angry!

You don’t have the motivation to plus all of your teeth at least plus the top 8 and bottom 8. Use hydrogen peroxide once A-day but consult your physician 1st. Use lysol once A-day in your shoes before slipping into them. All of these things you will be grateful for later in life and your partner will be grateful for now lol

A lot of things that lose their flavor have a similar taste-I wonder what that means?

Your attitude towards people no matter how justified will affect your relationships. Most people don’t care why you have the attitude or the aura of energy that you carry. In fact they’re not gonna take the time to ask you. They just pick up on things and then go from there. Women particularly-but not by much. Higher forms of life don’t operate this way-lower forms do!

I believe fear & want are man’s greatest hindrances.

You can get sued even for telling the truth-imagine that!

Conserve energy! THAT’S ONE THING WE HUMANS ARE FAIRLY RECKLESS WITH -ESPECIALLY IN OUR CHILDHOOD. If you had any idea what a difference in our lives this would make WHEN THAT ENERGY WE’VE MANAGED TO CONSERVE PREVIOUSLY IS AVAILABE WHEN THE APPRROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE. I THINK: GOD… gives us just the right amount of energy 1)throughout our lives, and; 2)for any given situation that [HEi is already aware of in advance] will arise [and also the energy of combined effort of humanity -but we MUST be willing to join together in the numbers the situation requires/demands -even if [on a rare occassion] a sufficient number are wiling [and able], a miscalculation is a constant possibility. BUT, perhaps the other main concern in all of this as previously stated is the recklessness with which we utilize this “LIFE-ENERGY or LIFE-FORCE”. This os only compounded when a joint effort compromised of numerous individuals who have too squandered frivolous,ly (ust) prior too… when and where those energies are most needed. THINK ABOUT IT! πŸ€”

We only have so much energy allotted to us [bar supernatural intervention] -also, when we exceed the in-the-moment-threshold, we can also expire.

Dealing with the world!

Stop acting the fool!

Previous experience doesn’t justify BREAKING THE LAW!

Sensitive people are more apt to be your friend one day and you’re enemy the next. They also make very good friends -sometimes the best of friends!

On SSI it’s ok to get into as much debt… but not respurces…

In this country, the skies the limit in making money (and all it can buy) but in (certain) other regards, we’re no different than a communist country..

One of the solutions to this world’s problems is TO MATCH CALAMITY WITH SERENITY rather that serenity with calamity, or calamity with calamity!

The smaller we are, the less likely we’re going to get hit by something! HUMILITY!

Not everything everyone brings to the table is so obvious; nor necessarily of any less importance!

How can either of you expect to be happy in a relationship when at least one of you has no idea what they’re doing? There’s the general stuff, and then there’s learning your partner.

Ladies, what have your best efforts garnered you with regard to trying to pick a man you can trust and who won’t hurt you? What has all that ever gotten you question say no to this man over here and you say yes to this man over here -and you still end up with exactly what you didn’t want. Maybe the solution isn’t adding more safeguards like we all seem to be doing in this country. Maybe it’s just changing our criteria. Lowering our standards which eventually turn out to be higher ones?

I could be skinny as a twig standing next to Mr. Olympia and still not feel inferior. At least that should be the case. A lot of people don’t have much more going for them than the superficial. They would have more if they would focus on developing it-but they don’t. What they focus on developing is the superficial.

Can a person care so much for another person that they’d die? Die because the person died? Died because the person is no longer a part of their life? Die because they hurt that other person so bad?

Just because we can’t think of one good reason why GOD allows the things HE does -doesn’t mean there isn’t one!

Are you aware that at any given moment on this planet an animal is being tortured? Not neglected or abused, TORTURED!

We should feel something for everyone!

Women come to expect a certain amount of b******* from a man. When some of them encounter a was not as such, and “the rush” just isn’t there for them… the little light doesn’t come on… This is the way a lot of women operate. Whether they know or not. That’s why they end up with the same kind of person… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

People don’t want men relying on them.

Something happens to us when we tell the truth! Something happens to us when we tell a lie! The universe too is affected. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Some people are able to produce the same set of experiences, leading [them] to…turn the corner one more time! TURN ANOTHER CORNER?

The earlier it is in a relationship the easier it is to put someone off. Does the same hold true for the easier it is to put someone on?

One of the undeniable features of giving you all is rapid progress or improvement. Just look at a body builder who is dedicated 110% versus one who is 40%. Look at the 2 of them after 6 months.

What’s happening on the outside isn’t necessarily what’s happening on the inside. Just because it doesn’t look like anything’s changing on the outside doesn’t mean anything’s not changing on the inside.

But one of the reasons GOD give us The Bible is because man can’t get honest with himself alone. H*** he even tries to turn The Bible into some man-made nonsense intended to control the masses. He not only can’t get honest with himself -he quite often turns truths into lies! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

You know what the problem is in this country? Keep people paying the prices the government and corporate America impose on them. You’re not going to suffer doing without a TV or a new phone. But the people selling them will if you refuse to buy them. It’s a simple matter of -they need us; we really don’t need them. You think this is naive of me? You telling me that if we stand up against all this tyranny and exploitation that the whole system is gonna fall apart? You telling me we need to submit ourselves to tyranny and being exploited in order to keep the whole thing from falling apart? Well if that’s the case let the f****** thing fall apart. This isn’t ANARCHY either, it’s a wake up call. Let’s put a stop to all of the access and get back down to basics. Let’s start helping each other instead of exploiting each other.

How many of us can live in extreme poverty and remain honest? There are people at the other end of the spectrum who cannot even accomplish this feat of being honest.

When people do not experience any recognition or positive positive feedback from those around them they were often speak or boast of their own accomplishments for choices. But is it boasting? Look up the definition of a need in the dictionary. You know it’s a real miracle that the body has numerous needs and for example the diet some of us human beings partake of… and how the body can keep going for 20, 30, 40, 50 years.

Ever been around an Alcoholic whose Alcoholism is in full swing? I’m referring to the selfishness, self-centeredness, overly-sensitive, overly-thoughtful, overly-verbose type whose presence is the center of attention everywhere they go!

GOD IS THE BEST FRIEND I’VE EVER HAD -SOMETIMES πŸ€” THE ONLY FRIEND I’VE EVER HAD!

*****What’s your part? You keep holding on to ot!

It’s different for each of us: What we aspire to be [how far to go spiritually]; and how much work is required to get there. Most of us in this country generally walk around a couple-quarts low at any given time! THAT’S ME!

*****When I find myself [once again] in PAIN due to poor choices, MY OLD WAY OF DEALING WITH “IT” COMES OUT! FEAR & PAIN! It’s best to make choices that don’t trample on our peace and contentment!

When we don’t have gratitude for the things we already have, it becomes a cycle of looking for the next rushing on to something new -THE NEXT…. it can get very expensive and πŸ€” WE NEVER QUITE GET WHERE WE’RE TRYING TO GET WITHOUT IT!

It would be only a 1/2 truth to say that we must strive to trust in God and be grateful for all he has done for us without adding to it a personal note Typhon that all of my life I have struggled not only to trust in God but to make the effort to trust in God, as well as to be constantly mindful and able to be grateful to God for all he has done for me. I believe I struggle with the ability to be grateful not just the willingness.

In the beginning I believe I was unable to trust in God and now I believe I am unwilling. In the beginning I believe I was unable to trust in God as well as. Now I believe I am able to trust in God but still struggle with unwillingness.

People who are not lonely or empty are not looking at their phones every 2 minutes. It’s a sign of what our society has become. And the reasons for it are quite obvious.

A lot of people don’t understand what you’re saying, where you’re coming from. Believe it or not a lot of people are very very limited. Surely hold down jobs that have a relationship to have kids blah blah but they have a very narrow scope of understanding of life, the universe, the broad variety of human experiences, thinking…

What are the tell tale signs of a society or Nation that is disconnected from one another? What are the tell tale signs of a society or nation that is connected and invested in 1 another?

Most Alcoholics don’t care much for people who outshine them. Come to think of it πŸ€” People in general don’t. Ever heard of the story of the brilliant calm a talented person who kept it a secret all their lives for this very reason?

Most people don’t wanna be burdened with your problems. Part of it is they’re tired. Part of it is there busy. Part of it is there’s better things to do in their mind. Part of it is there’s funner things to do. And just plain selfish!

See GOD in all things!

People are making it harder for each other not easier. What do you suppose the consequences of that are on the human mind and soul?

Anytime you see a shift, there is apt to be emotions, conflicts…. A man walks into a room, established unions or not, many women start to chatter “how handsome he is”, other women hearing this have negative reactions, even negative feelings towards the man simply got this reason alone. Then of course there is the women in the group who are all chatting about how handsome he is, they are either wondering if they will have their chance or they begin to try and compete with one another, not all of them believe in fair play. And when one gets him the rest of them feel snubbed. They’re false egos deflated… Just about all human beings have some problems. Where pleasure and beauty are involved… Where opportunity presents itself… The kind people are interested in that is… Opportunities that don’t interest people seldom raise any sort of emotion either way. Unless of course we pick up on the fact that somebody else it’s benefiting from something we never even gave consideration to -then the game is on!

With many women their love is proportional to the usefulness of the man -see, what I tell you, people have all kinds of different world’s they operate from. And for some men this is actually perfectly normal as well. I don’t want a woman loving me because I’m useful.

S.O.a B. We pay taxes out of what we are. We pay taxes out of what we sell. You pay taxes out of what we buy. JEEEEESUS!!!!!! And what does that little voice say? “If you want to be the number one country in the world -you gotta pay for it!” Really???

Before you go judging one person for their attitude, remember that it was likely people who [helped] put it there to begin with. Some people don’t need any [more] help lol

The sooner you recognize your dealing with an irrational person, and selfishness and self centeredness are irrational as well, the better off you and that other person are going to be!

Ever try talking rationally to a new rational person? You can’t talk to fools.

Nowadays everyone has their own God. Hope that’s not a spin off from the 2nd step of Alcoholics Anonymous. What kind of a God of love and unity would have disunity in man’s choice of god’s? Oh that’s your God not my God. Yeah well that sounds very godly indeed. It’s man who for numerous reasons doesn’t care to share the ideals of many of his fellow men because he can’t stand them. Because he can’t stand himself.

*****Sometimes I act as if I have only a couple of years sober. Other people act the same way, problem is they only have a couple of years sober. I have the ability or the option to choose to act as if I have many years sober in the program because I do in fact have many years sober in the program. For some odd reason -at times I choose not to act that way though. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I’ve seen a year in and year out for 33 years. The person I am when my spiritual condition is high and the person I am when my spiritual condition is low. My experience within myself when my spiritual condition is high and my experience within myself when my spiritual condition is low. NIGHT & DAY! There really is something to this spiritual business.

*****If Alcoholics Anonymous is referring to this being a spiritual program then clearly they are alluding to some fact regarding we human beings having a spirit. A lot of people don’t even believe we have spirits [in and out of AA] -that’s partly my point.

Just because you say you’re ensure you think you are ensure does it mean you are. It’s because you say you are sure doesn’t mean you are, it just means you think you are. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

We alcoholics are crazy but we tend to like people who are level headed and not crazy. I guess I should say we alcoholics are odd but we tend to like people who are not odd. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it -the old double standard πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Not everyone gets my sense of humor -but the ones that do…

With regard to cancer we take the test and find out we didn’t need it and then when we don’t take the test we find out we need it. We find out we have cancer after it’s too late. It’s hidden miss and we trade lives for money.

A real miracle. Because Anna needed a kidney transplant her husband underwent the protocol to see if he was compatible. During that period they found a pollop in his column which otherwise probably would have never gotten detected until it was too late from what I know of her husband who doesn’t really go to doctors.

I wish I had somebody who did things for me and didn’t expect anything in return.

These people from the treatment center were sitting outside in the parking lot in their vans with the motors running-don’t they know that these emissions are killing our atmosphere? Somebody please explain to me why we’re not doing anything about the atmosphere and emissions? If you’re not doing the right thing and you know not doing it anymore isn’t gonna make a difference does that mean you should keep doing it? Even if it was too late to save the atmosphere, the fact that it’s wrong pumping garbage into the atmosphere should be put to an end. But man refuses to have his way of limposed upon. Sick

Look at these pictures of these young people on these advertisements -no smile no charisma no nothing. Jeeez

When I was earlier in my dating years, it wasn’t enough to give and to do for a woman, you had to meet their demands and their expectations.

They have one thing come where the envy comes in, is you fail to recognize what you have that they don’t. It’s almost always the case.

A lot of people lack empathy because they don’t have the character or the background experience. For example a lot of people don’t know what it’s like to be alone and unwanted? There are surely these types of people just desire all the other. What I mean to say is that you can rest assured there are at least as many people on this planet who are wanted andWhat I mean to say is that you can rest assured there are at least as many people on this planet who are wanted and tended to as there are those who are either neglected or abandoned. There’s a certain kind of personality. They seem to know little of anything except what goes on day-to-day in their little world. And the purpose of people like that? At the very least they offer a profound comparison or perspective. It’s a cold empty place to be their. And the saddest thing about it is that we human beings have the ability to not even know we’re there!

It’s interesting to watch man try and hold GOD to his standards lol And with his motives lol And with his history lol MAN!!!!!

Wouldn’t it be great if we all stopped using our cell phones and all that information that is being stored in UTAH suddenly ceased? A world where we are constantly being monitored brought to a halt -and the old way of life reinstated!

Instead of corporate America competing for our business -now it’s consumers competing against each other for what corporate America is peddling. Just go on eBay and look at how hard it is to get a great deal anymore on certain items. People are paying way too much for these things. That’s a bad sign.

If you can trust in God and love him with all your might and heart calm that you have the 2 greatest gifts a person could be afforded. I don’t have those 2 gifts unfortunately.

When an 80 year old man makes a joke about a woman or about being single, everybody laughs. When a 40 year old man does hes an a******!

Some people are denied credit while others are granted it based solely on their qualifications. We don’t take into account seldom way a person’s state of mind. Frankly calm there are people out there in debt we are not of a sound frame of mind to do so. But because they were granted the credit do solely on their past history and their income to debt ratio… The financial institutions are scared to death of risk, well isn’t this a risk this not looking up for our fellow human being as well? Oh I forgot, America is slowly fading away in terms of its story history of looking out for one another. You cannot increasingly exploit Americans, when they are busy looking out for one another

People don’t seem to take too much stock of who they are or what they’re being subject to and how it is affecting them. This should be the 1st things that we make a priority among a couple of other things only.

If a man is capable of hating a man he has never met, imagine the man he has!

I heard a man once comment “Look at how he dresses coming to Church -NO RESPECT”. Well I think we all had better make sure our own souls are in order before we Starr worrying about how others come dressed to the LORD’S HOUSE!

This is not a country for the remaining 23 hours of the day whether it be having just attended Church, or an AA Meeting, those values instilled in us in those rooms, are enhanced and encouraged by the presence of things outside of those rooms. And I ask resoundingly –WHY NOT????? We sit in these places for an hour, maybe we gain some spiritual ground, then we ho out into the world -AND LOSE IT!!!!!

Let’s start with what we do know -that which is irrefutable.

When anyone makes their very survival and safety, or that of their loved one’s MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE -THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST TO satan!

If you have been blessed with the gifts of being able to LOVE GOD and TRUST IN GOD with all your might -you have perhaps two of the most valuable gifts one can be granted!

110% -but progress even then will vary from endeavor-toendeavor even at this level!

How close does the eulogy come to the person,

GRATITUDE, TRUST, & LOVE FOR GOD!!!!

it’s easy to be[come] ungrateful for everything else when the thing most important to you [not in life necessarily] continues to elude us!

Is it a big deal to GOD? Or is it just a part of HIS plan?

Think about it? Human beings who love to fight. 99.99% of people do not like to fight. Think about that again. What is that say about humanity? And what might be more Falling into this rarified %? And what about 00.01%?

That’s one of man’s biggest problems, he picks what he shouldn’t and he doesn’t pick what he should.

Be gentle in your ❀ πŸ’™ πŸ’œ towards people πŸ™πŸ» I know it can be hard

It’s no secret that among our kind, pretty women get swept up by successful men all the time. But that’s not much of a foundation for a relationship is it? That’s the way we human beings operate -find somebody who is pretty or somebody who is successful, and then sort out the rest later!

Man does as he chooses.

You talk to someone via the phone and theyre’s just something about them that captures your heart. The anticipation to meet them builds -you see them and your feelings just receed, because they are unattractive physically. Shakes his head. Hey I’m not judging, I know the scenario all too often -personally. But it’s a shame how much importance we place on the physical in this country.

“Just keep going Rick until GOD says otherwise. Don’t worry don’t contemplate…”

The fact that people based on research are more apt to be attracted to or pay attention to pretty people is one indication that these people: Are simply going by their natural inclinations. THEY HAVE NOT CONSCIOUSLY SOUGHT TO EVOLVE BEYOND THAT LEVEL. So there are a bunch of people running around in this country in which this applies. People really do not make the effort in certain [key] aspects at all really. We’re supposedly the most powerful country in the world calm and we’re supposedly one of the richest countries in the world, why don’t we need to work on anything right? WRONG!!!!!!

Some people have to work harder than others to make people feel comfortable around them.

I’ve never really had a problem with being nice to people – Although I’m sure when I was younger my motives were far more self serving. But my biggest problem has always been a lack of reciprocation.

I don’t mind being good to the women in my life but sometimes you run into one that feels like you owe it to her.

A lot of women in this country and in the world are the way they are because of the competition among/between men [for them]*. Like when companies used to compete fiercely for the business of America*. They make you feel special. But it’s up to the typical American and the typical female to apply some character -under these circumstances. And many other circumstances one faces!

*It’s up to the individual not to take advantage of the situation -or let it go to their head.

I want to be sure and make a note of this even though I may have mentioned it previously: I’m in the top 3% and IQ with a 129 approximately; And in the top 3% in blood type. Figure that 1 out. I think that 2 very important factors regarding human-beings are their IQ’s and their blood type. I think the correlation between the 2 has a deeper meaning than any of us can probably understand or have come to recognize as of yet.

When a person gets real with you it’s up to you to rise to the occasion.

Some people are slow some people are fast -I happen to be both πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*****Some people enjoy AA some people don’t enjoy AA. Look at this way, if it’s medicine… How many people enjoy medicine? They take it because it [EVENTUALLY] makes them feel better and because it cures their ills [but some Alcoholics, grandiose in nature, DON’T JUST WANT TO FEEL BETTER…]*. Feelings are not the 1st priority in recovery. In fact, it’s not really how one should look at it at all. We do what we’re supposed to do and we accept what we get in return as GOD’S will with gratitude [not the pedal-to-the-metal]. And that’s the way it works πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Even if you don’t like coming to Alcoholics Anonymous, ask yourself this “Is it so bad that you’re willing to throw away your life?” A few hours a week at most, to save your own life, maybe even save your πŸ‘ͺ maybe even save someone else’s life some day. [Alcoholics main issues: giving up control of; how much; how fast! Alcoholics want all their problems to go away yesterday -Being example to others or character building be d*****. The way alcoholism works is you feel better in the moment and pay for it later. The way recovery works is you don’t necessarily feel better in the moment but you reap the benefits later. CHOOSE – Do you want to feel better or do you want to get better? In recovery we eventually get to experience both. But it takes time and giving over control to GOD!

*They want that rush!

*****In recovery we get stronger and saner. We get stronger and due to our better decision making our problems begin to dissipate, dwindle. The problems we already have begin to get resolved as well. In our addiction we grow weaker and more insane. We get weaker and due to our poorer decision making our problems begin to grow, add up! The problems will already have only worse in as well.

*****Dale didn’t get wrapped up in other people s***. I still struggle with this a bit. The majority of Alcoholics do. Drunk or sober.

I don’t have a leash, or line to keep me in the yard -my own yard…

Just once in my life I’d like to hear somebody in this town say: “You’re right. I did…” “You’re right, I was wrong…” just once!

Character is acting against type!

β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†LOVE GOD! TRUST GOD! BE GRATEFUL TO GOD! AND IMITATE GOD WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT -AND YOU WILL HAVE ACHIEVED PERFECTION! Probably the most important thing you will ever hear come out of my mouth or write down on a piece of paper.

Some days sober are good; some days sober are not so good -but we don’t let this detour us from not taking that 1st drink.

If you’re rich [successful] and you’re snooty and you’re not gonna share your money with me then what good are you to me? You’re worth more to me if you’re poor and you’re friendly. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

*****The things a lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous get drunk over are the same things a lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous stay sober through. If you’re fed up enough of it to get drunk over it, imagine what the people who don’t get drunk over it feel like?

If only a small percentage of people can act, and an animal can act, and a child can act… What does it say about the rest of us?

And furthermore, people have to go to acting school to learn how to act… Human?

What’s the difference between needing and taking advantage of?

If you can just imagine all the scenarios or worlds man has created for himself and his fellow man over the Millennia

“Okay, now that’s my accountability, what’s theirs, yours…?”

I’ve seen some people get away with some stuff, get through some stuff, reign victorious over some situations completely unexplainable. GOD? PRECISION KNOW-HOW?

Now that Corporate America and the US government have turned the tables on the American people, when are men going to turn the tables on women in terms of sexual power? it’s very interesting, just last night or this morning I envisioned a cartoon with a very very lavish American woman with a chain and Leash [collared] on a man sitting next to her.

Some of the best guitarist in the world have only been playing for 10 years or less, I’ve been riding for 32 years -more-or-less!

You know what’s worth more than gold? Knowledge! And these writings contain a gold mine worth!

You know why there was only one Michael Jordan? Nobody ever loved the game or loved the spirit of competition or try harder more consistently than Michael Jordan. The same could be said of Rafael Nadal.How else could you explain a man who missed more tournaments than his 2 greatest rivals, and still managed to come out ahead of both of them -One of which had a 5 year jump on him? Most people cannot or will not sustain a 110% effort pretty lengthy period of time. To do so would veer into the realm of the superhuman -there are however, a few of those around! Firemen! I think I give my all in my writing and when I speak in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. I think I have been doing so consistently for a very long time!

You know who one of my heroes is? Lassie! Going all the way back to childhood! I’ve been revisiting this through her [his] movies recently!

One of the things about we alcoholics is we talk too much and; we pick @t things too much!

I never got better by taking someone elses inventory. I never learned anything listening to myself. I never knew of a bird falling off of a limb who froze to death feeling sorry for itself. Very old sayings.

There’s a difference between being angry because you are wrong than being angry because because of your high falluting, egoitistical expectations.

You may not agree with this but try and appreciate the rhyme in my reasoning anyways: People are pretty much the same when things go their way, but where they diverge is when things don’t go their way.

We want to bring out the best and people not the worst.

It’s always the same thing over and over. A man tries to start up something good and innocent, and then more and more people hear about it and want to suck the life out of it-and then the way it ends up is not the way it started. 2 examples: It gets over a ran by the American consumer because everybody wants a piece of the pie; It gets ran over by the corporate types because everyone wants a piece of the pie. EBay is one such example. The corporate type being the government stepping in charging tax once again. The corporate type being companies trying to come in and peddle their goods with little or no willingness to budge on their prices. I had one idiot tell me eBay’s not a swap me. Yeah well it was until you corporate-preppie-types came along and tried to turn it into something else. Another certain company comes along and buys out another company, races or prices as usual to try and rush getting their investment back, and then doing away with layerways and veterans discounts. Who might that certain company in El Paso be πŸ€” And my 1st question as a consumer is how does any of this help me? Me the consumer that bought your products for many years which allowed you to buy this other company in the 1st place idiot.

Companies just starting out bend over backwards to get the American public’s business, as they become bigger they start taking away everything they were offerinthus which allowed them to grow to begin with. The American way!!!! No, if they can survive and thrive by giving perks to the American public when they’re small; then they can survive by giving perks to the American public when they are big! It’s greed that changes everything; and the want and need for excess, for power! Most people have no idea how big a role ego plays an American living. People don’t go around advertising it were brightening about it. In many instances people would even deny that it’s their ego in play. That’s right -a bunch of people running around not even having any idea but where they’re operating from. Isn’t that sad? People who don’t even understand themselves! That should be one of the 1st lines of business as a human being -to understand where you’re coming from and where you’re at. JEEEEES!!!! I guess that’s what happens when you’re not so interested in where you’re at or where you’re coming from, only where you’re going! And there seems to be a lot of that going on these days.

At some point in history Christians outnumbered the majority of others. When they were in small numbers they were persecuted. In order for them to be persecuted once again in the future, their numbers will likely have to be reduced once again. That means our world will have to go from being filled with believers in Christ and in The Bible to non-believers. Which is exactly what we see going on in this country and perhaps even around the world because of United States has for some time had a profound impact on the rest of the world.

Some people only give a d*** about how far you’ve gone -not how far you’ve come!

… Or are people fairly consistent when things go their way and when things don’t go their way? Respectively I mean.

I get angry because certain people act like they don’t like. I get angry because certain people do. This is what you call an unwinnable or an untenable situation. What do you suppose all that’s about? God puts people in our life, The people he knows are best for us or the people he knows are most in need. But what we want are the people who make us feel the best. Secondary are those who Impact us where we needed most. Or people who need us most rather than people we want most. Get it? In an increasingly affluent society, man tends to gear more towards what he wants rather than what he needs or what others need!

You take away the factor in this country regarding increasing numbers of people want to become increasingly rich, and see how that affects inflation! He might be surprised to find… Think about it-increasing numbers of people wanting to become increasingly rich. You think rich is a stagnant, set-in-stone thing? Yesterday being a millionaire was a wonderful thing. Now it’s getting to the level of billion there that’s a wonderful thing. And now I understand it’s getting to the level of trillionaire that’s the thing -that’s choking this country! There’s always a childish mentality, if not a warped one, involved in this sort of thing. Children have no limits -not adults. That’s why many of them can be so d*** annoying. They will continually test you, even prod you.

Are we slaves to time or masters of it? Perhaps we cannot do any thing about living within the boundaries of it, But that doesn’t mean we can’t use it to our own advantage -which many people DO NOT! There are slaves to time. Beasts of burden so-to-speak! They slave away watching time tick by slowly… They work for time time doesn’t work for them. Again, they are slaves to time rather than the masters of it! Whiling away the hours that might have counted for something more! Wonder how many of us fall into this category throughout our own lives? Bill Wilson talks about how we bust our asses with the only goal in mind being that of retiring to the Florida-sunshine!

When I act in such a way as to assume something about the world wrongly so, I pay a price. When I act in such a way, That the world assumes… And I end up not getting what I want or need because of it, I have to rethink how I do things. The world is always right even when it’s wrong because we have to live and survive in it. Is dumb! My counselor is telling me how the world is looking at my actions, not my intentions, and how I have to rethink things. Why do I have to be the one who has to rethink things? I think I already answered that question.

The mood in this country has changed drastically in recent years. We don’t have workers or people who serve us so much as people who have determined that they are on equal footing -Job or no job. People forget they work for someone and are being employed by someone. They decide they’re going to treat the customer the way the customer treats them. In some cases not even applying that rule-of-thumb.

People don’t really want to be there for each other any more. And when you try to get them to, they either resist or get annoyed! This has to change!

When we are around certain people come we have to take into consideration certain things to make them feequal and not less than us. Believe it or not, some people can just walk into a room, and make other people feel less than they are πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I don’t know if other people are this way but it’s how I am. Certain people I seem to want the attention of and certain people I do not. I don’t know if it’s a matter of respect or desire or rejection… But some people don’t seem to have this feature and it’s an admirable quality in my mind. I think it’s best to let GOD decide who needs our attention [who we should give our attentions to] and whose attention we should receive. Most of us are guilty to some degree of not treating everyone equally. I don’t think the world would improve [approve] entirely anyways.

Sometimes I really get aggravated with the way GOD seems to want things –HIS ways are not my ways! HE always does things with depth and with purpose -I on the other hand… They is to say “Purpose versus agenda”. I wouldn’t necessarily say GOD interferes with my agenda, but when we presumably choose a life which mimicking HIS own… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Agendas tend to [must] fall to the wayside!

Personally, I don’t think people who get things easily, have as much to offer as people who struggle. Nor do they have as much in common with most people. As a consequence, they don’t have as much character either.

I think there are just certain things about people that people don’t care. Some things those people need to adjust. Both people I’m referring to. The way some people are they need to adjust. The way some people feel about other people they need to adjust. These things seem like rocket science to most of us. As a result we will all [most of us] spend our lives stuck not only with others, but with ourselves. It seems very difficult to change who we are and near impossible to change others. But it can all happen with GOD’S help.

If you’re afraid of speaking up due to fear of reprisals, use a dead person’s “lol I had to look up reprisals afterwards just to be sure. It’s amazing how many things I get right when I’m not evenwhere did I come from? Where did I learn the word reprisals from? It’s certainly not a word I’ve used in many years -or even heard. πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

There is a flip side to remaining emotionally distant or neutral with people. I always thought it rather cold but I can now begin to see the upside to it. If in fact cold is the accurate term to be using in the 1st place. People manage to keep a level head when they don’t get too involved.

I notice some people are very passionate comment anyone we know lol.. But when we take it past a certain point it becomes counter productive, even harmful or hurtful.

*****Neal-this program can hurt you but it will never harm you!

COVID- If people won’t change then we should change them are officially. I’m sure that’s the way some people feel. They may even feel justified. Amazing the things man feels justified in doing. All you have to do is look at the way God does things and if you’re not doing them that way you’re not justified. But you have to keep in contact with and constantly reminded of what God’s ways are and what God’s ways are not in order to accomplish this. God does not change people artificially. We either change or we suffer the consequences as do the people around us. We suffered physically and emotionally but we do not suffer the ultimate consequences->that if intentionally going against GOD’S LAWS! But man tends to do things to serve hisone ends where is GOD does not. But God is sharp enough that he knows his ends would be our end. With man -his ends aren’t always his fellow man’s ends.

You don’t have to be resentful of people who do it all wrong, who’ve got it all wrong…. They’re already suffering.

People who require other people to acknowledge them are like people going to a dry well looking for water. And the ones that stop going a long time ago, the ones that have no faith whatsoever and humanity… They spend their lives walking around feeling like a dry well.

Some people are Nancy to buy and some people are Nancy to sell-the one who gives in 1st is the 1 that either gets the best deal or the best price/profit. So which one will it be -the buyer or the seller?

Honey not only attracts more bees than invinegar, it’s also a great manipulator when used in that fashion. It’s up to the individual to decide how to use that honey.

GOD is prompting me to say that our government in the United States does a lot of good work for its people and is filled with many many good people who make it up. There are however those misguided people, and there are also those people who are flat out interested in their own agendas and no one else’s welfare.

There’s just something about a person who laughs at their own jokes πŸ˜†

*****It doesn’t matter who a person is directing their snive comments at in the meeting, those kind of comments have no place in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous!

I have too much data coming through and it affects me emotionally. If all the data pouring in was positive -I would be MARY Poppins.

I’m not trying to pick on people, I’m trying to raise them up. Not an easy task for someone who is down themselves. I do get aggravated with people who try to harm or take advantage of others though I do get aggravated with people who are being paid to perform a service that’s supposed to benefit the people they serve not screw them over.

A person who is completely defeated in their self esteem cannot raise anyone up in the slightest. It will only seek to tear others down or simply have nothing too offer that is of any value. I’m not talking about ego-deflation here. Ego-deflation is different and a positive thing if the individual[s]….

FtSome people are good at not being bothered by what other people think or say about them. But most of us are not!

I don’t trust people today, but it’s not that overblown mistrust from my childhood trauma so much, it’s mistrust based on the fact that a lot of people out in the world cannot and should not be trusted, they’re not trustworthy.

Someday I’m hoping I will not have to tell somebody no when asking me for a ride because I don’t have the gas [Or in other people’s cases -the time].

For someone with my background to be able to come to a place in life that is DRAMA-FREE -> 10 X MIRACLES!

The reason more people seem to dislike you is you are reaching the next level of enlightenment. Man, some more than others, are wicked -they recoil from goodness! And satan himself.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Don’t let your actions and your presence be underwhelmed by what comes out of your mouth. But I’m trying to say as if your mouth is taking center stage -don’t let it. The mouth does more damage and gives people a false impression of who we truly are than thing else! A lot of times people speak of things they don’t know about. Though just as it is not an accurate portrayal of something outside of ourselves, oftentimes it’s not an accurate portrayal of what’s inside ourselves.

How many women would go out with a well known celebrity who is highly attractive and personable? How many women would be attracted to that person and perhaps commit adultery if only in their own mind? How is that different from a man who sees an attractive woman at a bar or a grocery store and has the same reaction? Just because most women may not do that, they are certainly not going to admit to it if they do. I think some women may be a little more picky but if you stack the scales far enough, they will act just like most men.

No matter how cruel or indifferent GOD may appear, HE always has a good plan in mind. Often times not so with man.

What do you think the number one ant number 2 reason for why people use drugs and drink and have so much trouble with their attitude towards 1 another?

How many judges and lawyers and policemen and politicians can abide by the very laws they either appalled or write into law? A man’s 6 month old baby is burned to death and you really expect for them to stand by and do nothing when Justice has failed him and his child?A little absurd don’t you think? Especially to ask for 100% adherence to this outcome?

Some people do things with ease such ease. Some people do things. Some people do things that should be impossible to them -given extenuating circumstances, ->background history, state or condition… They are the true miracles indeed!

If people don’t like it maybe they need to change! If you as an adult struggling with alcoholism think it’s a living h***, imagine what it’s like for your children having to endure you! And doing it sober with no chemicals in their bodies! Reality right there in their face!

If you say I’m no better than you are or you say we’re no different and I start going down a list of my own flaws, are you going to still agree? And if not, then who’s to say I’m not better than you then?

Always your emotional state is preceded by what goes through your mind ->whether it’s a memory, conscious thought, experience in real time… If you are looking for a particular emotional experience, or state, you have to regulate thought, perception…

If you look at adults raised in a stable, consistent, moral valued environment, with sufficient healthy social interaction and modeling,, they tend to grow up functioning fairly high in multiple areas.

Man seems to be most comfortable with his base instincts -though he often has little tolerance for his fellow man’s!

Treat others the way you want to be treated. But do we have a right to expect others to treat us the way we treat them?

I told Dale one time you have to protect your mind.

When a person is far too sensitive in a relationship, it tends to develop problems that other people normally would not experience or be affected by. This can also happen at the social level. The town I live in has a lot of ultra sensitive, ultra angry people. This is a good combination for violence and conflict. Of course there is in this community as you would expect.

Where your mind is? Where life takes it?

Good things rarely come from poor decision making.

Just because something is wrong doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. That was the wonderful thing about Jesus on the Earth, whenever something was wrong you knew it wasn’t him. Encountered problem after problem after problem during his time down here on Earth. Which translated means means that he encountered problem after problem after problem with the people surrounding him. And so we will too. That’s even if we were perfect which were not.

If a person cannot discern whether they’ve done a good job or a poor one… PPFFFF πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I think I stand a better chance of connecting with GOD than with people.

Things that are not ordinarily a big deal are often a big deal to people who have issues. People who have issues tend to do the wrong things at the wrong time. How else would you define an issue? The inability to do the right thing at the right time? The inability to be able to do the right thing or the inability to do the right thing at the right time.

How stupid is it, us trying to reason God’s actions by holding him to our own limited and/or twisted waze? Our own dirty filthy ways? How many people lose faith in Jesus for the simple notion that he married Mary Magdalene and had children? Why would that make him any less perfect?It’s heavenly father had Mary as a spouse! Why couldn’t Jesus take one? I’m not saying he would do this or that he even did it. What I’m saying is if he chose to do it who are we to try and apply our simpleton, feel threatened believe send principles upon perfection? People are freaking stupid man.

Or this idea of Jesus kissing his apostles on the lips. If it ever did happen, isn’t it possible for you to reason that Jesus did it out of spiritual love not sexual love? Jesus Christ man-how stupid are we?

Which would you feel more comfortable with a lying cheating skeezing 15 year old boy with your 15 year old daughter or 30 year old responsible caring honest man with your 15 year old daughter? The answer to that question is that by law you would have to choose the 15 year old youngboy -whether you like it or not -that’s the law! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Who made all these laws? I don’t remember being asked! And what about the laws that came before us? Do we really have the right and the full power to change any one of them we wish? No matter how unreasonable it may be? What’s really driving the structure of this country? Is it really the American people or is that just an illusion?If 10000 people tried to storm the US government they would naturally retaliate. But what if 51% of the American people decided to so? After all we are a democracy right? 51% gets the vote! It’s an interesting question comment of whether or not the government would concede to the American people or not.

“I think I’m the sanest person I know!”

2 dead parents. One I never knew and the other one I wish I’d never known.

People who tell you what you want to hear in the media-stars. Not everyone goes for but most do. This seems to work better than people not saying “what’s the right thing to say”. Their non-controversials. They just lead the perfect life. They do everything right at the expense of their true selves. Truth, is, inside everyone one of us is the potential to be controversial.

Nobody gives a damn what I think-but some clearly want their position noted -IT’S BULLSHIT! We all operate under the same standards, or we don’t! Now what’s it going to be? Are you going to start giving a damn about anything other than yourself, or are we all just going to not give a damn about what you think either, whether you like it or not?????

When you’re afraid of your mother and you’ve lost all respect for your father…. Who do you believe in? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

M.A.D. Make a difference

M.A.D.D. Mothers against drunk drivers. They think they’re being attacked, so they go on the attack! When are we gonna stop attacking one another and using anger as our fuel, as our weapon!

Think of all the old Levi’s with holes I could have saved and sold for a 125 apiece. Whoever saw this coming?

You want to create a bunch of consumers and a bunch of people willing to give over their freedom to the government, then create an atmosphere of fear and loneliness and emptiness

If you don’t like someone and you don’t even know them, you either have too much time on your hands, life is too good, you’re extremely arrogant, or something is simply seriously wrong with you.

The person willing to pay the most screws it up for everyone. The person willing to accept the least screws it up for everyone. The man willing to spoil women screw it up for everyone. The man willing to put up with women’s arrogance and pomp screw up for the rest of us. You see how all this works? OH, And the men who hit women screw it up for the rest of us. And the people who exploit and abuse society screw it up for the rest of us. And with the advent of social media people think everyone’s potential criminal.

If people who had a solid foundation in their childhood are struggling with life today then what do you expect from people who didn’t who are facing life’s challenges today?

You know how you feel after you don’t do something. You know how you feel after you do something But you don’t know how you would have felt after you do something if you hadn’t done it instead. Like a man and a woman out for a first date who have sex or don’t have sex that very 1st night.

Cell phones are something that, not quite the perfect drug so far, but it’s something that has a little something for everyone. I said it a number of years back that the perfect drug would affect everyone differently, but perfectly the way tdesire or wish to feel, or simply hits them in a way never before imagined. They’ll come up with something even better or they’ll do something through the cell phone to improve it. People will eventually have something attached to their bodies permanently that cannot be removed, that they will not wish to have removed, will not wish to do without. Trust me on that one! Things attached to their bodies. And then what else -because it’s always something new! When you bring something new in that people don’t fully understand it opens the door for satan. Away from the old and towards the new πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I spoke with the counselor earlier today and we were discussing relationships and how things are working in America with regard to people connecting and dating and meeting for the 1st time et cetera. He pointed out that in my case it would require a woman with a lot of patience. I was taken in by this comment. Perhaps even offended. But having thought about it some hours later come perhaps more disheartened than anything. I was hoping I believe deep down inside that I could reach a point where that wouldn’t be required on the part of the woman I love. But perhaps however, that will never be the case. πŸ€” πŸ˜”

Earlier on I knew there were things about myself that needed changing. In my session with my counselor earlier today I realized something. Well based on his responses to some of my questions, it was clear that… This is how I explained it to him. When I was younger I knew there were a lot of things that needed to be changed with me. Now that I have come so far in so many areas, I don’t feel that is so much the case. But what he had described in modern day America as we approach Christmas 2022 in two days is that with regard to meeting women, you need a strategy. He told me it’s not enough for you to know you’re not a threat to them you need to convey to them very clearly that you’re not a threat to them and also to try and make them comfortable with you. I thought someday it would be enough for me to simply get better. But society, human beings as they are in this damage… They have their own ideas about things. Men have to cater to women while many women have the completely opposite attitude towards men. I gave him the example of the double standard we human brings you must endure with one another. A woman could care less about whether I feel comfortable around her I told him, but look how important it is for me to make sure she’s comfortable around me. I guess that’s one of the drawbacks of being the overpowering [stronger] part of the male-female dynamic. I also told them that with regard to trying to make a woman feel comfortable and safe, I’m not very good at that. I also mentioned to him that a lot of men do not have that quality but they will put on an act so that they can lower the woman in -only for her to find later on that hes not at all that person.

●I don’t think I have the mentality…

●It’s going to take a very special woman to…

●I am definitely not from this planet lol

I don’t think I’ve ever found been able to find who I am living in this town.

Too much awareness makes it hard to be spontaneous. Too much from the head makes it hard to be emotional.

Honestly, if we were all powerful [didn’t feel limited], and felt completely content [within ourselves], how many people wouldn’t we [have] pick[ed] to be apart of our lives?

“I think I’m going to fly solo for a while -seek higher ground” 20 years ago

“I DO NOT operate within the boundaries [constraints] much of the world does” BRANDY

In our minds we can have legs to walk, wings to fly, sing like ANGELS, move the entire universe, cure cancer, love like no one is watching, be with the one we love…

Most men refuse to see beyond themselves!

“I can’t help but wonder just how much so much awareness, truth[?] is affecting my ability to relate to others [who tend to be far more closed/limited]?”

Some people have been known to develop or exhibit extraordinary abilities when faced with the sense that their own survival is being threatened. I WONDER… πŸ€”

“Common knowledge to whom?”

“It’s not that I’m too old for her, it’s that she’s too young for me! See the difference?”

What could be more profound than acute awareness -THE ABILITY TO HEAR GOD?????

Women require a certain approach from a man. Problem is a lot of those men aren’t that purse. And they either don’t know how to change or have no interest in changing -or in certain instances nor should they change. But they have a powerful need or drive and in certain instances ego that compels them to do what is necessary to link with a woman. Even use a woman.

“In the zone”.

It’s not enough to have awareness -heart!!! Character!!!

What is sales -if not manipulation. Wasn’t satan a salesman? A sale implies something for a price, at a price?

They say in order to avoid pain you have to avoid life itself. But some of us have experienced enough to last 2 lifetimes πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The people who grow up around me who hurt me aren’t very different from the people who are around me today. Family, school, work, neighbors, store, community…

It seems an unfair advantage encountering people with so much anger these days when I have so little myself.

Man starts out with a good-intention and given any amount of time he begins to twist it into something beneficial to himself. This I would say is where the road to h*** is paved with good intentions.

*****A person has to know their limitations fairly quickly on in sobriety, in their quest for sobriety.

*****If your commitment to sobriety is suspect in the least.

*****If you have any reservations about being sober, if your resolve is suspect in anyway, life will challenge that…

Most times on this journey we’re changing, being affected. In some ways it appears quite obvious how. But so many times it is not so obvious. And so many times when we think it’s obvious that we know how we are being affected, WE ARE QUITE WRONG. And there’s always things we cannot see besides, or rather underneath the things we can! You know, one of the things that intrigued me about the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous is where it talks about uncommon-sense. Common sense becoming uncommon sense. You think I have acquired some of that?

Some people have to work very hard to change peoples impression that we are arrogant. Some people just look at someone or rather some people wherever they go immediately by their looks or the way they dress or their intelligence cause people to believe they are arrogant even when they are not once you get to know them. But it’s still true that oftentimes a person will have to work extra hard against this fellie based on 1st impressions or appearance. This is the case for many things with regard to what any particular individual is endowed with. We all have our struggles in life?

Some people don’t seem able to appreciate their partners in their entirety. Appreciate many of the wonderful assets or facets of their persona, of their spirit.

*****Whether you believe in organized religion or not, as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous the price we pay for our recovery is to make the world a better place for having been a part of it in our recovery. It’s not just about addressing our past misdeeds or our character flaws; It’s about addressing our future and putting our new found self [GOD’S GIFT] to good use all around us!

Certain things that get set in motion that for example trigger other people’s ego. Then people react, start to do things and then they spread wider and wider and wider. One thing that people have in common is that they cannot resist reacting to something that bruises their ego. At least in this country.. Somebody runs a red light or cuts you off ans you do it to the next person and this reverberates because it’s a real blow to the American ego. That’s what’s going on in this town I live in.

Making trouble is at one end of the spectrum, not being a troublemaker is… in the middle [confused yet?], and sewing serenity where there is calamity is at the other end of the spectrum! πŸ‘

I got eggs at Walmart yesterday for 6.72 instead of 22.78.

TY LORD!!!!

People who try to be positive when there are serious things wrong: is it inappropriate; does make other people who are struggling feel bad or ashamed.[rather than…].

It’s me. I’m the reason I’m single. But not for the dame reason as before. It’s not because I’m doing wrong or pushing good people away s much anymore! But IF I was willing to do things differently, I would have a partner -even in this town! But I don’t assimilate! Alot of people do falsely to GET!!!!! TO GET IN!!!!!

Are we lucky or unlucky with all the things we have in this country? Depends on how you use it and what you do with it and what it does to you!

One of the greatest gifts has been able to appreciate every single moment in life with all your heart.

I had lunch lunch dinner for Christmas Eve with Ana and her husband Ray and it was a wonderful time. I got to learn a little more about myself and about… I grew up kind of spoiled while ray grew up the opposite. He doesn’t seem to think or be bothered too much by poor service when there’s a plate of food sitting front of them. I on the other hand… When we’re both going through the same experience he sees it as a leg up while I see it as a leg down. Maybe he doesn’t even think about it maybe he just figures this is nice even with all the imperfections. That’s not how I look at things. But I got a little closer to learning about that concept this afternoon. Thank you Ray and thank you GOD! 2022 Some people think Alcoholics Anonymous is a step down while others think it’s a step up, and still others see it as a way through. I think people who see it is a step down don’t tend to last. It’s a horrible way to go through sobriety!

I’m thinking πŸ€” the issue here inthe town I live in [among others] is this, “If we’re not welcome in your worldπŸ’πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ, then you’re no welcome into ours! πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

With many people it doesn’t matter that what you’re saying is true, what matters is how it affects them emotionally or situationally. That’s the animal-man!

What’s the difference for all of us with regard to a good man that has all the power in the world versus a bad man that has all the power in the world?

There’s what an individual wants or thinks is normal. There’s what a country wants or thinks is normal. There’s what Humanity wants or thinks is normal. And then there’s what God wants or thinks is normal.

The best things in life aren’t free, not even GOD! In fact relationships are the things we have to work hardest at/for [sometimes even fight for]. This is a truth many people in this country do not understand. They look for a person who just falls in their lap. Of course this isn’t the case with everyone.

They don’t even know everything they can do with things like Facebook as an advantage.

The way things are right now with the way men treat women and how that affects a woman’s a tooth, a lot of men end up having to do without having a woman involuntarily. In order for us to change that attidude that women have in this country violent large, many men would have to do without a woman voluntarily.

With regard to joke avich and The Australian open. Why did they let him back into the country while so many others who have been granted a 3 ybar from entering the country withe Visa have not? The answer is there was a bunch of money sitting there in front of them that was just there to be snatched. Many of those other people that have a 3 year restriction, I’m guessing they don’t have it lifted because the country has nothing to gain. Nothing significant. Just think about it, how often does mankind stare money in the face and say “no thank you”?

Based on everything in life I’ve seen, I think my basic attitude is that I don’t want to see any more of it – I’m repelled!

You figure in football between an offensive and defensive people where everything else is equal, the fact that 1 is trying to get away and one is trying to get, there should be a significant advantage difference there.

Some people it seems, never should have been. Their place here is clearly out of place. Some good, some not good.

With a lot of women it’s all about the “sweets-spot“! People in general actually.

Ever meet somebody who does somebody write or good even though they don’t like them? It happens but it’s rare. People don’t ordinarily go against their own feelings. People don’t ordinarily go against their own thoughts actually. But more often their feelings.

You know that old saying “you can’t please everyone”? Well it’s true lol

It may be a sad thing to say but in relationships between men and women oftentimes it comes down to one person giving the other person what they want 1st in order to get what they want. You play this scenario out a 1000 times where one person doesn’t give a person what they want and see if they still get what they want… And in about 999 times out of a 1000, that won’t happen. With human beings it really does come down to satisfaction. JUSSSSST LIKE A BUSINESS! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Even though people have the ability to override this natural, or unnatural inclination –most won’t!

People who are successful always have people around them who want a part of the action. And even though people have the ability to override this natural, or unnatural inclination –most won’t!

Marrying for money and security, how’s that working out in our country?

You know, when you don’t get your needs man in a certain area, you don’t tend to perform a 100% in that area. Now just think about the various areas that human beings function in and the actual performance and when it’s at a 100% of what it’s no at a 100%. And you think about how many times even 100% isn’t enough between us human beings and our performance and our interaction for example. So if that’s not even enough and you’re not getting the basic needs met so that your performance can be at a 100%, then just look at what you end up with.

The relationships between human beings and general were strong to begin with, then the relationships between people 1st meeting would not be so d***** fragile. So prone to breaking down at the slightest hint of trouble or disappointment. As a species our relationships are very frail period!

You think in most cases people are qualified? The answer is no! My point being? In so many cases we give a s*** about what other people think or say or feel.

If women think you’re a player, and you don’t have a good game, forget it. If women think you’re a player, and you have a good game, there’s A5050 chance you’re in. Cause many women can’t resist! You don’t think a lot of them women knew what Uncle Dennis was going after in the clubs, knew what he was about? Of course they did high from but they couldn’t resist the bait and many instances. Women are the original Eve remember

Why do we all have to work independently? Why can’t we forage together like many millennia ago to survive? Well part of the answer to that is that mankind does not want to be responsible for his fellow human being. The other part of that is that the more you can covet… A different system would make that null and void. And besides that calm the only way you might get change with regard to our current system, is if people hauling in a s*** load of money would actually have to work their a** off like a lot of other people in this country who are severely underpaid.

Normally, depending on how far off the mark you are, determines how much work you have to do to hit it. And I seem to be way off the mark in terms of meeting women in this area.

Just leave it alone Rick, those people at Zia are not at all what you want to what, or need them to be.

Some things are still beyond me -let’s just see how things going how far they can go.

A lot of people are not in touch with certain feelings because it would hinder their ability to function and to fit in in the world. So many of us who are taught or develop the ability in Alcoholics Anonymous to recognize and get in touch with these feelings… And are in one way or another compromised or disadvantaged in the above aforementioned areas… Which is it then? Avoid the feelings and function and fit in? Or live with certain awareness is that bring about certain feelings that bring about a compromise in our level of function and our ability to fit in?

Most human relationships aren’t going too well. And the ones that are? You know the story about the man who got everything he wanted don’t you? So in those instances where relationships are going really well? At what cost? Think about it!

Our 1st priority and relationship should be to love; and our 2nd priority should be to grow. Not to laugh, not to get it real nice roof over our heads in a nice part of town. Are people really that shallow?

Humor, like anything else, If depended on too much -or used in the wrong way….

This issue of giving people what they want in order to get what you want. Not everybody wants to play this game. And the ones that are willing, they don’t necessarily want to give first to get last. All these things are disqualifiers. You see the way the world operates, even in the areas that are screwed up, have a gentle balance to them.

If you take one particular area to its pinnacle, many other areas of your being could suffer considerably. In order for your light to shine very bright in a particular area, many other areas must be dimmed. Is this physics? Spiritual physics?

As in society, too with regard to individuals , their worth or value is determined by yin and yang. What values are looked at and what values the individual has. This is often the basis of relationship-formation. That’s why to one person the formation of another person’s relationship [with another] often doesn’t make sense to them. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

This is not a spiritual society where the last want to be with the last, and the 1st want to be with the last. This is a self-centered, egotistical society where the last want to be with the 1st, and the 1st want to be with the 1st.

Never apologize for being too good!

Some people refused to be wrong even if it means shooting themselves in their own foot.

It’s better to have a woman be angry with you than to dislike you…

People who should retaliate but instead respond with kindness are some of the most admired and misunderstood. And a few things speak louder with regard to a person’s character. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

A lot of times we give power to people and then they don’t know how to use it or handle it or respond to it.

Some people have trouble taking people as they are-breathing giving them half a chance. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I must have a sign on my forehead that reads “I don’t need love, I don’t need anything”. Because people don’t seem to be offering much of anything at all. Anything at all even though I do.

*****We get to come into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and practice things like humility, self-restraint, honestytrust, selflessness, human interaction, tolerance… LOVE* we don’t just get to learn, WE GET TO PRACTICE with, and on each other! And unlike many places in the outside world -if we get it wrong ~we get to comeback and try again! You didn’t really think you were gonna find happiness, Serenity, contentment simply by no longer drinking and acting the wayou did-did you? After all calm of the world is still the world-the same world we drink and drug over; he same world we were miserable and resentful ove; the same world we feared.

*We’re not supposed to walk in here day in and day out for 20 years and exhibit the same inabilities as day one. If we are struggling to the same degree year after year in the same areas… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ If we really really try earnestly, we can experience considerable improvement in any area. Perhaps one of the most difficult things to take hold of is an earnest effirt with regard to our… Such things as envy or intolerance or fear or prejudice… How exactly do we master these things?

If we are sensitive we should not stop being so. We should however become stronger in another regard so as not to be put off to the extent of missing out or shunning an opportunity to be of use to others. This of course is an issue I myself struggle with.

Many people in this society don’t give you points for how far you’ve come along from where you’ve started. In the most selfish, shallow sense, many people are only interested in how you affect them currently! “OH I enjoy being around so-and-so much..” “Oh so and so is so creepy to be around.”

The more we follow GOD’S teachings -the less power man has over us. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ You take for example the power women have over many men. With GOD’S teachings those powers dissolve. It’s a terrible thing to have a woman who has no godly inclination have power over us. They tend to be very inconsiderate, cold, and self-serving ->ruthless if need be!

How many different things; and how many different kinds of things are you a slave to? Make a list to include various categories.

Don’t you just love it when we human beings are in the middle of a panic. Whether it be for food or shelter or safety…. And one person sits back calmly because these things mean so very little.

GOD gave us enough on this planet to survive off of and even enjoy. Not enough to make massive profits off of. Taps counter with stick-Anyone disagree?

You are the gratify yourself through your own attitudes and actions or you sacrifice, you give up these things and gain gratification through others.

You know the philosophy of leaving people better for having been in your presence under all conditions is something…

People can seem to get a handle on their issues. We keep running into the same things among our own kind year after year, generation after generation, century after century, millennium after millennium. Unlike GOD -after a time, we human-beings begin to show the affects of life ~and quite often are none-the-better for it. Life makes us make life that much more unbearable for one another πŸ’” πŸ˜ͺ πŸ™ƒ 😞 πŸ˜• 😒 πŸ’”

What do I know? The kind of feelings that precede Enlightenment… It’s like the kind of pain that precedes the degree of muscle-growth only seen in body-builders!

One man looking to please another.-but not GOD!

Just as your body will resist growing beyond the next level. So too will a man’s character as he attempts to alter it.

Whatever evil does we feel like we have to either match it or counter it -in the name of survival. If survival is our reason for combating evil… and not good, or justice… Without the principles of good as our driving force… πŸ˜”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Too, if hate or anger or revenge, or monetary gain are our motivation… πŸ˜”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Humility -thinking of our own defects rather than others.

A lot of people don’t get it: You’re giving them the best possible piece of information they could perhaps ever here and they just don’t get it.

You be the one to make things go smooth they’re not waiting for the other people around you to do so. You’ll be the one who’s got it going on, you be the adult, you be the sharp is tool in the shed… You be the thinker!

Don’t just admit you’re not perfect -IMPROVE!

There are people out in the world, sure they are accepted and sure they are successful… but they’re locked in to a system of social norms that don’t allow them to express themselves at depth openly. Conversely, many of us who are able to express ourselves openly are shunned by society and therefore we are not accepted and we are not as successful as we might be or might like to be..

Don’t you just hate it when you think back… and wish you had spent those years practicing…. each day…. and the rewards you would now be….

C.P.T.I “I can quit, I just don’t want to.” Contempt…

*****“What is the most significant thing about that [topic] with regard to you?”

ANA -DON’T HANG AROUND PEOPLE WHO BRING YOU DOWN SPIRITUALLY. It’s not intolerance; it’d not haughtiness! It’s self-preservation on a spiritual level. We have to gain in strength [what we can be in the presence of and not be torn down].

Most people in your periphery don’t care about you, or me one way or the other. So given that fact, act accordingly.

In AA we’re supposed to share our experience, strength, and hope… “I” and “me”? But I just read that it was unlikely that he wrote “The St. Francis Prayer” because of the “i” and “me” references.

Since we’re powerless over the vast majority of the things around us, and a great many things in us, the chances are that any thought or focus or concern we have falls into this category -and therefore should be left to GOD. GOD is the king of everything that we are powerless over.

What’s the number one reason people can’t get along? What’s the number one reason people have conflicts between each other? Well if I was going to venture a guess I would say that a big part of it has nothing to do with the actual issues we have with many people. They just happen to be around when we’ve had enough. The 2nd reason. .

One approach to world peace that’s guaranteed to work: DO NOT react no matter how [even if you are] justified you are in doing so.

A lot of people like that cool in their relationships. Like they’re both playing some role in a movie. Just be yourself. If that’s not charming enough for stimulating enough…

I read somewhere that William Shakespeare stole much of his work from someone else. Is there any lie that isn’t being made out to be the truth? Is there any truth that isn’t made out to be a lie? Humanity just keeps trampling over everything. These new generations don’t know what from what. People even take shots at The Bible. People have more faith in something from men than they do something from GOD!

I have been pushing the boundaries on paper and in meetings of alcohol it’s anonymous for 32 years. That’s how one improves. In 32 years is a long time to have the pedal of the metal. Giving a 110%. Anyone who can keep the pedal of the metal for 32 years is bound to reach astronomical heights -and lows!

If you want to gain a big chunk of understanding about typical people, those around you…. Talk to people in positions of power. They’ll tell you what people are really like. Talk to a college professor about his female students and what they’re willing to do to get a grade. Talk to the CEO of a company about what his employees are willing to do to get a raise or promotion. Talk to a doctor about his staff or the nurses under him.

Why do so many people in this country think money is the answer? Because unfortunately more than anything else on the planet besides brute force and threat of life and limb, money even more so than love gets people to do things. Well why is it so important that we get people to do things? Isn’t it more important that we serve God and accept what he offers in return?

Half the people in the world at any given time are either unhappy or have something eating at them. Half of those people have a legitimate reason and the other half do not. Anyways my point is this is a big part of the reason why there is so much trouble between one another in the world. Either a bad mood in general or resentment towards one another. And these are constants.

The people here in LC are a stiff necked people. Why do things never change in a community of people who are stiff necked? By the way Jesus called the Jews a stiff necked people! Why do things never change in a community of stiff necked people? Because they don’t listen! Because you can’t tell them anything. Every time I tell somebody in this town somethey get on the defensive and then the offensive. They do not want to hear anything from anyone and that is why they never grow. Yesterday walking across the parking lot at Walmart 1st a woman comes zoom in by as I’m attempting to cross the parking lot aisle. Then a man comes rushing buy while I’m already in the process of crossing. Do they stop to let me pass-nooooo. They just put on the gas, move a little bit to their left and keep on common. I finally tapped the back of a guy’s tail light as he was passing because I was so frustrated with this behavior. What does he do? He jumps out of the car and starts yelling at me as if he were the victim. That’s one thing stiff next week or a good app, for tending to be the victim when they’re the perpetrator. The place I live in strangely enough is an excellent example of what the world is self will eventually become. A population of cold, unaccountable people -filled with anger. A lot of these people’s reason for being angry isn’t because they’re homeless or can’t afford even basic medical care or don’t have a decent car to drive. That would be at least somewhat understandable. No these kind of people are p***** off because they everybody else in their neighborhood. It grinds away at them. Less than their boss. Lwss than their brother. These people are straight Avengers of what other people have and who are they are -because they’re better in their souls than they are. I am so tired, everyday of getting when I get from the people in this community. Which ranges from mostly nothing to an occasional gesture that I am unimportant This town is excellent at treating one another like we’re nobody’s. To me it reminds me of those comments that my family used to make when I was a boy. If I have a black man we’ll help the Black man out of the bucket while the Mexican will pull the Mexican back down in it. It’s true this is a very prideful car of a very selfish, very envious calm a very angry people. God gave them a Passion beyond most, but they use it for hate instead of love. I would also like to mention, don’t think that the bottom half of the world that is discontent or angry doesn’t affect the upper half either. How can the world ever change as long as there are people in it who refuse to listen, who refuse to be humbled in the face of constructive criticism?

Just to give you an idea of how man twists things from good to ba The generations that followed World War II decided it wasn’t a good idea to be hitting children. You think their intentions were misguided? Or self serving? What about those changes that came about; with regard to not judging each other? Another misguided choice? Or a choice grounded in sekf once again? If people just go around acting the way they do with no sort of feedback whatsoever. Is it that the sixties and seventies motto “LIVE AND LET LIVE”. Let’s be honest here, are we really talking about not judging people or are we talking about being equals to the point where none of us has a right to say anything about or towards our fellow human being? Whereby we’re not allowed to confront one another, We’re not allowed doing pose our own beliefs on one another. Everybody just gets to live their life the way they wanna live it. Sounds pretty chaotic to me. Not what I am saying may sound extreme I think where these people are coming from is far more subtle. And there might even be a good intention in there somewhere. But society and generations to come cannot evolve properly without input from somewhere. Don’t hit me and don’t tell me what to do. I can just hear adolescence across America. You can’t hit me and you can’t tell me what to do. I knew a young girl with this attitude. It was a sad situation. NOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!! I used to think, well yeah you can deal with the child without punishing them physically but how many of us know how to do that? Some of these children are pretty strong-willed and even intelligent. And you never wanna hurt a child and you never want to traumatize them. You want to use just enough force to let them know you care about them. Both parents probably don’t have the skill or boundary down packed. Any idiot can look at the state of America today and see what’s happened to our children. Unruly, disrespectful, angry, certainly misguided; listening either to themselves, or their peers mostly. And of course they don’t have the benefit of hindsight. Like some of us do. But try telling them that. The pockets of people here and there in my generation who prematurely went our own way because there really wasn’t anyone around to show us otherwise… Well that scenario has mushroomed. The idea that satan is having his way -MAKES ME SICK! The idea that man is so easily manipulated -makes me angry as all h***! Not judging people [we have to be accountable for the direction our species is going in at all times -We talk about social norms… well isn’t keeping each other in line part of a social norm? The very foundation of social norms? KEEPING THINGS NORMAL -oh I forgot “there is no normal” came out in the nineties as well]. Not being able to punish our children adequately. Leaving them at home without either paren’t to greet them when they get home -for hours to come in certain instances. All a mistake! God says you can tell a tree by the fruit of bears. Shouldn’t we be able to tell a good decision from a bad decision by the consequences or the results? That used to be the case. Before man twisted things so badly that that doesn’t even seem to hold true anymore. You have no idea just how f***** u* man can become. But it’s coming!

You know there are people who drowned kittens and puppies, an entire litter and maybe keep one.

There is so much diversity in the world and God is open to so much of it. We cannot even begin to comprehend how open God is because if we were subject to the many variances out there in the world, most of us couldn’t begin to be open to them all. And yet God is labeled by many a man has judgemental and closed. Do you really think that man can be more open than God? Only when it comes to sin and misguided thinking.

Some things we purposefully attempt out of side out of mind. Some things fate seems to have a hand in. The way we live in this country and the things we are shut out from, is that fate or man’s doing?There are so many things in the world we should as Americans be ever mindful of and yet we live in a land of illusion in many ways.

Have you figured out what the world is yet? Bit confusing not only with regard to the many personality types out there, as well as character types, but the extreme opinions based on the wide latitude of experiences and perceptions that exists out there. It’s amazing how many people in the world think it’s wonderful and how many people in the world think it’s s***. And how many people are willing to argue their position. The bottom line is that the world is not a nice place. If you have a person with mixed character -are they good or bad? There are a lot of people in prison that have good traits. But would you say they’re good people? Humanity taken as a whole has serious flaws. Tendencies towards harming and hurting one another are not uncommon. Neither are such things as exploitation of and indifference to the weak and the suffering! Bullies don’t go after the strongest they go after the weakest. We would do well to remember that with regard to governments and corporations as well. Do you see the United States for example running over Russia and China? Much as they would like to. Do you see them running rampant over the rich and famous as much as they would deserve it in certain instances? Too much cost and too much resistance. These are realities that seldom are challenged.

We know through past history that man can be raised many different ways and be affected by it for the rest of his life. What we don’t know yet is just how much variance man can be open to. Nor how much variance man himself can acquire/attain/decend to, and then transmit to a human-being at any given interval of development.

A troublemaker isn’t just someone who starts trouble, it’s someone who finishes it. People who are not troublemakers try to bring peace to the situation. This is a big problem in the world end in this country. A bunch of people who will tell you they’re not troublemakers but they got anger and hate just bubbling below the service ready to unleash.

Is it really that big difference between a person who initiate hate and fear and anger on other people or dumps it into the situation in response to someone else? Is one trigger any better or worse than another?

If God knows everything about us and still fails to reach us, then what can we expect from one another? I’m tired that’s why I’m not capitalizing God and putting it in bold yesterday and today. A little shaken up I guess by yesterday’s events in the parking lot at Walmart. Anyways, man has one advantage over God with regard to his fellows; Man is willing and capable of doing things God will not do.

The highest order of species in the universe probably wouldn’t kill its own kind in order to survive. Which is why that species probably wouldn’t have any crime. I don’t know if that makes sense but that’s what came to me at the end.

THE PROBLEMS GET SMALLER; AND WE GET STRINGER ><THE PROBLEMS GET BIGGER; AND WE GET WEAKER. IN ADDICTION AND IN RECOVERY.

For many, life is about how much you can take!

You’ve ever seen what a dispute looks like between 2 adults with the mentality of a child? You’ve ever seen what it dispute looks like between 2 adults with the mentality of a egomaniac? You’ve ever seen what a dispute looks like between 2 adults with a mentality that is humble, mature, sound-minded…?

Some of the cheapest stuff to produce man charges some of the highest prices -figure that 1 out.

*****Not everyone shows up to Alcoholics Anonymous day after day year after year because they love it. They ateast have the sense to know they need it.

*****Reasons people get drunk or walk out on Alcoholics Anonymous.

-People in the program heard or p***** them off.

-God doesn’t answer their prayers.

-People die on us.

-People betray us.

-People change their feelings about us.

There’s evenly matched wars and there’s grossly mismatched wars throughout history.

My family would do everything in their power to protect their children but they wouldn’t do much of anything, let alone everything in their power to protect me.

A lot of very bad things happen in life based on choice. Some people will actually tell you they didn’t have a choice They will act without thinking and therefore.. Act as if they had no choice. When people for example go out and get drunk or relapse on drugs after being in recovery for a time, it’s a choice they make. Sometimes we’re powerless because we haven’t prepared ourselves adequately for the day ahead. But what preceded that was a choice.

You randomly throw a 1000 people together on an island from different parts of the country or world who have no business joining together as couples, and some of them will somehow manage, and others will be left out or choose to remain single.

There are hundreds of millions of people out there in the world hurting -ONE SHOULD NEVER STRAY FAR FROM THAT FACT. ALONG WITH TRUSTING IN GOD AND REMAINING FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HIM.

Think of all the [little] animals who suffer because of man.

There’s not always a way out on one plane, but there’s always a way out on another. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

It’s people that often miss things but never GOD. People either miss things or do things out of being misguided [in their thinking, intentions…]. GOD never misses anything. HE does what HE does and HE doesn’t do what HE doesn’t do for the highest purpose[s]!

GOD’S greatest joy and sorrows can be found in our intentions.

I’m getting a real lesson and keeping my mouth shut and just letting things be whatever they’re going to be no matter how unfair or unjust or painful or personal they may FEEL.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a perfect program filled with imperfect people.

If you don’t have any values at least try to be picky.

When a person becomes a giver it’s because they sense they have something to give. It’s because they feel safe enough and satisfied enough to begin to let go of some of what they’ve got. Many non-givers feel afraid and empty. So a person has to feel fulfilled enough to be able to let go of some of what they have. It’s something of a science I suppose.

The more a person has that you want the less you have to work and grow as a human being. The less you have to give or give up. Seems to be the way human nature works unfortunately. Look at these guys with all this money. Who do thet choose as a partner? It’s almost like a cookie dough cutter.

Some people just want to be treated normally [with basic respect, manners…]. Some people want to be treated beyond normal. And when dealing with some people, wanting to be treated normally is too high an expectation.

It takes a special man to [choose to] walk alone with GOD.

These are the types of awakenings I live in breathe for: How funny πŸ€” we live in a country with people fighting for equality, many of whom either loathe or are scared to death of the notion of class or financial equality. When the government starts [en]forcing equality, on a moral level[?], how is that different from forcing equality on a class or financial level [communism]? And don’t give me that garbage about what the people want. You think more people in this country want gay equality than do people who want financial equality? Nothing’s changing on the financial front. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Federal Reserve data indicates that as of Q4 2021, the top 1% of households in the United States held 32.3% of the country’s wealth, while the bottom 50% held 2.6%. In recent decades, wealth inequality has substantially increased in the United States. * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_United_States#:~:text=Federal%20Reserve%20data%20indicates%20that,increased%20in%20the%20United%20States

*Man tends to effect change where he puts his mind to. And when two forces oppose each other come into conflict, the smarter, and then more powerful tend to emerge victorious -especially when your opposition has been neutralized. So, if the gap in wealth is increasing, it is happening through a hell of a lot of conscious effort YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!

There are a lot of people in this day and age that don’t know nothin’. There are a lot of people who know a lot and yet know nothin’. And these 2 groups make up what % of the population?

Given the world’s history or track record: Why wouldn’t good and decent human beings spend night-after-night alone while not so nice human beings are in relationships having sex…? Albeit one day the person next to them wakes up and decides they don’t like that person -at all!

Every race is characterized by its own unique set of traits in greater or lesser degrees. I would sure like some scientific hard data on certainerases in this country Both the good and the bad.

Hanging around certain people, normal can get pretty weird.

Most people in power have a number of weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Do we really want leaders like that?

If you place limitations on your patience, life will eventually push you past it.Some people take the magnifying glass and turn it to which ever side suits them.

If only you would drop your standards down where… -VOILA!

There’s a lot of people we won’t have anything to do with. And there’s a lot of people we do choose to have something to do with who we eventually don’t really want anything to do with anymore. So where does this leave/lead the typical human being? Cynical! More alone than we’d like… Part of the problem is that we’re too arrogant. And the other part of the problem is that other people are too arrogant.

You gotta figure a lot of private investigators tend to lose faith in humanity. Cops too

We judge a lot of people on what they have done rather than what they would do. What you would do speaks to your character. And character is what it’s about when it comes to holding various positions. More so than skill set in many cases. The fact of the matter is this, that between a person’s history which is either incomplete or hidden or twisted because that’s what we human beings do in order to thrive and survive, we twist, we hide, we act… And then with regard to what we would do in any given situation… Most of us hope that where we get a passing-grade, written all over the front page; while where we would fail we hope to never see the light of day. Hope we are never get put in that position to fail in front of all to see. Everything gets colluded to our advantage. But when it’s not advantageous to others then they’re trying to collude things to their advantage

Between 99.9999% and 100% of people watching the news have no clue as to whether or not what people are saying are telling the truth or lying. But I do find it very interesting that in certain situations some people do know the truth and they’re sitting there watching their friend or family member or partner or boss or employee flat out why from time to time. And the people telling the stories on the news are often familiar with the fact that no 1 or 99.999% of people don’t know the truth. This is the kind of f***** u* world we live in

Some people are comfortable when they are around themselves but not around other people.

The truth seldom gets out anymore in its entirety. Between the individuals themselves trying to cover it up, the lawyer is trying to cover it up, the judges in certain instances trying to cover it up… The 1st thing a lot of people see when a powerful person is caught in the Ringer is opportunity. We know the person in the jam doesn’t want to choose to come out then comes the question what are you willing to do to ensure getting your wish? Then of course there’s the person in a position to Grant them their wish… That’s why it’s always such a problem for people in positions of power that can benefit beyond our wildest dreams…. With some people it’s not a bribe, it’s part of the job lol It’s so hard for the truth to reach the light of day anymore.. But what’s described above is nothing new There are several things circling around the truth and reasons for hiding it. The avoidance of public shame and embarrassment. The avoidance of consequences. Opportunities for power and money. These things always come into play we’re truth… can be found.

Extremely bright or shady individual can find a way to land on their feet come to even profit in either scenario. In opposing scenarios.

What happens 98% of the time with people in positions of power elected to help other people is that they always put themselves firather than the 10 or 100 or 1000 or a million they are being paid to serve and protect. If people would start doing what they’re supposed to be doing, what they are paid to do by the millions in society… Things would improve at least 50% right off the bat. People can’t help putting themselves 1st or skimming a little off the top. It says in The Bible that man is terrible when it comes to waving opportunity under his nose. And life plays that out every day in fact. It’s so easy for a man to twist his own immoral and unethical behaviors with just a minor twist. It’s so easy to say just this once. It’s so easy to say who will know. Whatever lies we engage in; they follow us everywhere we go until the truth is told. We and our families carry that burden until it is made right. That’s the universe talking not the man. Or that Ajo justification, I’ve worked for it… I deserve it….

There’s an old saying in Alcoholics Anonymous com you can’t fix an alcoholic mind with an alcoholic mind. You also cannot solve the problems of a community or a nation or a world by putting into office people who are a part of the problem.

Supposedly there’s been a campaign in this country for many decades to address the widespread disparity between classes in this country. And for all the talk and the trouble what do we get? We only find that it’s gotten worse not better. Shame on the people who continue to drive for greater disparity between the masses. And what about the drug problem? Hasn’t there been a campaign in this country for several decades now to address that issue? Isn’t it worse now than ever? And now the masses are joining in and contributing to the problem even though they complain out of the other side of their mouth that they can’t stand these long standing issues.

People who care about us, and are free from I’ll feelings toward us will in fact be there for us in our hour-of-need. If you’re wondering about people who supposedly care for us but who time and time again refuse to be there for us -you can bet there’s some issue there..There’s an issue with them or there’s an issue with you they are carrying… My brother is one such person.

In the myriad of potential scenarios amidst humanity become someone is always going to end up in a different place come a higher place or a lower place from someone else. The structure of our societies is steeped in structures that are the breeding ground for inequality. Sometimes people end up there and have no idea how they got there. Other people lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, bribe, blackmail… or simply work for years to get there.

God’s done his part by gifting me the material but I haven’t done my part with regard to the delivery. My speaking and my demeanor stink.

Money is scared shitless of risk. Love isn’t. On the other hand there’s a lot of things in the world that love cannot buy because so many people do not make love an important part of their make up. So it’s money that is required to get things done -or perish. To take your pick. Love conquers all but only when people operate from it. Money can solve a lot of problems but it pales in the face of risk. So a lot of people aren’t allowed to have it when they need it. What a mess both ways.

A person has a right to protect their spirit. In an alcoholic and particular must protect their mind.

If a 30 year old man has developmental issues, Let’s say hes emotionally 13 or 14 years old. And hes attracted to 13-14 year old girls. Is he sick because hes attracted to those girls given his emotional level or is he sick because hes 30 years old and has an emotional level of 13 or 14? Because if the man had an emotional level of 13 or 14, wouldn’t it be normal for someone at that emotional level to be attracted to girls 13 or 14 years old? This is where it would be important to remain unbiased or uninvolved emotionally.

COMPLIMENT OFTEN!

It truly is lonely as one approaches “THE TOP”.

You see these stories online that you can’t resist and when you click on them there’s 30 freaking advertisements linked to them. Every time you hit the next button another ad. Can man do something without trying to get something? When we see individuals act this way in person we want to get as far away from them as we can because all they want is wantedWhen we see individuals act this way in person we want to get as far away from them as we can because all they want is WANT! And yet we’re subject to exactly the same thing day-in-and-day-out from his supposed non entities. But the fact that the matter is these are people who simply want something from us. And no we don’t know them personally. It doesn’t excuse the fact that they too simply won’t want greedily and selfishly in many instances. We should keep that in mind with regard to what’s happening in this country. What we are continually being bombarded by. It’s not love and kindness and uplifting…. It’s selfishness and coldness and taketakes take and a temporary fix -not uplifting at all. Take a bite of this Apple off this tree and you will be… and you will feel… 🍎 🍏 🍎 🍏 🍎 🍏 🍎 🍏 🍎 🍏

*****It may be one day at a time and it may be just for today but realistically, what we do today ensures our recovery for tomorrow. What we fail to do yesterday can jeopardize our recovery today. Ever try falling too far and then running to an AA meeting or calling somebody up in the program hoping you can stay sober in time? That doesn’t work out too well. Sometimes it takes a few days or weeks or months to find relief from that merciless obsession that has resurfaced.

We get stressed out and then we try to find something to counter that feeling. When in reality it’s best not to get stressed out and you don’t have to go find something to counter that feeling.

*****All we have to do is what they taught us. Go to a meeting –save your life. Purchase and read the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous –save your life. Get a sponsor –save your life. Sit quietly in your room all alone and listen -save your life.

A lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous immediately since they are being told what to do or what to believe. If you can set aside that defiance for 5 minutes and just listen-it might just save your life.

Once you walk our your feonr door it’s all about πŸ’° money! Being a GOOD SAMARITAN is a personal choice -not a privilege. AND many of us already have numerous excuses in wait to counter that notion. Many don’t even care for each other.

If I overstep others boundaries in the city I live in they will let me know. If they overstep mine and I let them know, THEY WILL LET ME KNOW…!!!!

Alcoholics always want to take center-stage, and magnify everything out of proportion. They either use the magnifying glass one way or the other. Making them bigger than they are or smaller than they are!

Alot of times, we don’t dare take out our anger on the people who hurt us -so we take it out on people who don’t deserve it.

How far will you ascend in any given area before you die?

Your loved ones, there will come a day when your “goodbye” will be the last -most of us of course won’t realize it.

Because you’re afraid, you dral with it by trying to make me afraid -like the guy in the Walmart parking lot who jumped out of his car after I tagged his back fender for cutting me off while walking across the aisle.

When people come into recovery -they have to deal with problems within, and in the world.

[Focusing on] TRUSTING IN GOD and BEING GRATEFUL TO HIM pushes aside alot of those things in life that tend to bring about fear and… what I’m not getting out of life [the American way]! These two things wash away the residual fallout associated with our own limitations, and the limitations common in life.

*****ZIA -Live Clean

Stress comes from man -it only makes sense [DUMB] to look to man to counter that feeling.

Look at corporations in this country and look at the country itself and what they are like when starting out and then what they are like when they reach the pinnacle of power They’re very different. I mean they’re very different than where they start out and where they end up in their attitude and conduct. In certain instances perhaps not so much the conduct but definitely the attitude.

90% of the world that any given time is not 100%. What does this mean? Well what it means is it we’re not going to be fully prepared at any given time. And how do human beings happen to respond when they are not prepared? That’s right-you got it!

Accepting what other people doing society is one thing trying to encourage it as another.

Trying to deal with angry people when I don’t have the anger I used to is something of a challenge.

When you absorb somebody else’s abuse instead of retaliating something inside of you it’s very different.

The 2 flaws in our attitude part of that we think God doesn’t care and that we think we know better than God and I’ll even throw in a 3rd, that we think we can see the future better than God. The above writing is based upon the hundreds of millions of people who have prayed to God and not have their prayers answered.

You look at some of the people WE get involved with… hmmmm πŸ€” I mean intimately, sexually… some of the most unattractive… unappealing… people are capable of anything they’re capable of! IF IT CAN BE DONE -SOMEONE WILL PROBABLY DO IT -EVENTUALLY!

*****People don’t pay you because they like you: In many instances they don’t even pay you because you’ve earned it. They pay you because you’re making them even more money.

Man historically has only been able to figure things out by creating them and watching the alchemy the effect. He has not always been a great predictor.

Some people are like a “MΓ–BIUS-STRIP” -and more! Only they are not taped and twisted [Or are they? Or have they been?]. Some things there isn’t a solution per se’?

I think I’m like Darth-Vader? Tony Stark?

They say “we can change, but we can’t change the world” ~sounds like an unsolvable math problem. A mobius-tape?

What happens when two [extraordinary] people meet and one is “super-xxxxx” and the other is “super-yyyyyy”?

Your first mistake is thinking I’m targeting any particular type or group [of females]. I go with what presents itself -sorta.

The Science of CARING: What is more complex the physical universe or the spiritual [how does understanding the universe (in and of itself) make “it” better -you can’t improve on perfection (but you can gain advantages over others as your understanding expands -but never over the universe itself can you?)]? People wonder what the universe is [GOD’S “MASTERPIECE” -and the lack of that understanding, or refusal to acknowledge/concede -THIS IS WHERE MAN LOSES HIS WAY -AND HIS HUMILITY; every time (this is why man evolves in his understanding of the universe at a snails pace -having been shown the the true meaning behind the universe from the very beginning, he forgets, or he denies this great fact, justifying his own need to make the universe his own private playground, or battle ground)]? In their smallness and their vast ignorance -some men are compelled to alter one reality, and as a consequence, the other [they just can’t stand feeling small -insignificant -vulnerable -weak -disadvantaged (knowledge is power)]. Some people spend their lives trying to understand the universe; Some of the most intelligent people in it. I think it’s more important to be a positive force in it -don’t you [to know this is to know all you need to know or understand about the universe -from that perspective (the other is a LOVING GOD created it*)]? It’s better to move the universe than to merely be able to understand bits and pieces of it. Isn’t it better to work with the universe rather than [merely within] it?

*Is there any doubt about that? Surely wickedness would not allow beauty to exist which only lends further creedence to GOD’S GLORY when you use the aforementioned for why evil exists! satan would never allow beauty [and goodness] to exist in the world; and since satan is the complete antithesis of CHRIST-GOD, it only make sense that a benign, loving GOD would in fact allow evil too to exist -rather than snuff it out completely, permanently for self-serving reasons. Another question πŸ€” “Would satan snuff out all good, and beauty? What purpose would his very existence then serve -the battle won…? Is it about the victory? Or the battle? And if man continued to repopulate; having won the battle, having lost the element of surprise [deceit], what then?”

Greg is right about one thing, I’ve learned to act based on what makes sense, NOT NECESSARILY WHAT MAKES SENSE TO OTHERS. We either learn to act in the universe or we learn [how] to act among men*. If we want to reap what the universe has to offer, we act according to the former. If we want to report what man has to offer, we act according to the latter. I appear to be reaping from the universe but not from humanity. ->Treating women as human beings is universal -but it’s not very human (not necessarily wise either -if you want in). Women expect to be treated like women. It lets them know where a man is coming from. Without some sort of compass, or rather some kind of North Star on the horizon, women will simply act lost in most cases. When a woman is in a man’s presence who gives them no hint of guidance in-so-far-as where they’re coming from… Women essentially do nothing. Or in their bewilderment (lack of sufficient data) -they scat(ter).

*Actually we are born with an innate understanding of our role in the universe. This is a constant. It’s when we get among human beings that we must learn to train ourselves how to act. This is not a constant. We have to act this way for this person in this way for that person. Of course, once we have mastered the various “types” more-or-less, things seldom change; it’s boring repetition, because most people want the same things -foolishly, selfishly, and with very similar voracity I might add!

You can tell a society is this* when they leisurely indulge in excess and are being charged exorbitant prices and are willing to pay [without a fight; thus failing to keep the man-predator in check]. THAT’S NO GOOD! *LACK OF DEPTH!

Highly intelligent people discover reality well unintelligent people can only imagine it at best. Watching the movie limitless this is what came up along with…. If you could be the most intelligent person on the planet what would be the most intelligent thing you could think of doing? If you were the most intelligent person on the planet what would be the most intelligent thing to do? Hint: Even some of the most unintelligent people on the planet know the answer to this.

“I’m only gonna be here for a few years just like the rest of you -I realky wanna make those years count!”

When you see somebody doing something differently from you but it works where, your way doesn’t, what do you do?

Many people excel through hard work and conscious effort. Now just imagine those people who have a working part of their makeup with this characteristic. they’re doing it all they’re doing it all the time and with no lapses in drive or motivation, only fatigue or distraction.

Just about everyday I come to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting I BRING 110%! And why wouldn’t I? You got to figure in the back of my head the fact that my parents got killed by this disease, our family was decimated -is always rolling around back there somewhere.

Doing things according to man brings outcomes that are too boring, and too predictable. On the other hand βœ‹ This too eventually becomes predictable. But it never seems to grow [quite as] old.

Why does it take money to see the beauty that is all around this world?

It can be unnerving for some people being around a person who when speaking does so with 110% conviction.

Women want to live. You’ve heard stories of what women will do in order to avoid parish. Women almost inherently fall in love with a man every time who makes them feel alive. I guess this is the cousin attribute to the biting of the Apple on the tree of knowledge.

We don’t like the idea of people in our personal life thinking only of themselves. Seemingly not caring much about us at all*. So why do we tolerate it in our dealings with the world? Is it really any less offensive or inappropriate? It shouldn’t be.

*On a side note, how many people enter into relationships with this attitude or inability. Everything we do that involves one another should be personal.

Man often abandons ship with regard to his career, his personal life… When it either suits them or when it benefits him to do so. But not GOD! Marriage is one of the few areas it is where godconsists we toe-the-line. And even then we treat it like everything else because there really isn’t anything we human beings are loyal to, except maybe, maybe our selves at times! You’re probably thinking as apparent that this doesn’t apply. But we both know that even parents betray their children in one way or another; it is not a rare phenomenon given the scope of this inference.

The government does a lot of things that are wrong -but perfectly legal. And the people who are the victims don’t give a d*** that it’s legal when they know it’s wrong and done just. And that’s when a certain percentage retaliate. When are we ever gonna put an end of the majority of this retaliation by doing what’s right and not merely what’s legal.

If you look at the way the world was made initially, anyone could recognize that God is a good God. If you look at how man maedged to have himself removed from paradise and then take note of what he has done to his surroundings once outside of the gates… One might argue the 1st point is a fairy tale but it no one can argue the 2nd point is a fairy tale. Man has damaged this planet immensely. Either in the name of progress, carelessness, or greed! Man has been a lousy steward. There’s for the rest of us. We either participated at the end of all this by supplying “the demand side” in all all of this, or by doing nothing at all to intervene! Tell me what there is good to be said in all of this?

Do people notice people who gain quickly spiritually? Of course they do. People seem to notice even more so when somebody is climbing the financial ladder very quickly. There’s only a very narrow margin which allows people to make money very rapidly in large sums. And specific people are with the qualifications to capitalize. As for the rest of us; the means we would have to employ (given our limitations, life’s obstacles [natural and man-made], our own self-imposed limits…) in order to bring about a similar result -would likely be considered illegal. People start making a s*** load of money even legally and immediately they’re investigated*. But if somebody becomes a spiritual giant in a matter of a short period of time…? HUMAN-BEINGS.

*Losing is not only “the norm” (expected), it doesn’t bring about envy (so whether consciously, or unconsciously -it is preferred by those around us looking on). And oftentimes by those cursed with self-sabotage themselves.

Explain to me why most people cannot succeed when these examples are right in front of their very eyes. It’s not a lack of knowledge or a lack of opportunity to witness what works that is at issue. Because, if man did not have that “x-factor” going on, the rest of humanity who has found success would have to keep under lock and key there secret. This not would not only be extremely inconvenient, it would probably be impossible. So there has to be a way to avoid having to hide The Secret to success while at the same time avoiding all are even the majority of humanity being a threat in so far as becoming adept at the same or even a surpassing level. So what are these factors? You know what they are-you live within every day within yourself while you scratch your head wondering why you can’t get ahead like the next guy. That is to say, like that guy that’s 1 in a 1000 or 1 in 10000 or 1 in a million. You know why that book you bought or that program you bought that’s supposed to make you millions hasn’t worked.

With regard to attracting women and making friends you could say the issue is me. All I have to do is be willing to give them what they need, what makes sense to them, what makes them feel comfortable, WHAT PLEASES THEM… AND I’M IN! Humans seldom reach [very far] beyond the basic borders of their own self-interests -Anything beyond them would be considered character.

If you were going to base your recovery on the way you feel most of the time… Good luck with staying sober. Isn’t that why we got drunk? Because of the way it made us feel. How long could you be around a person who rubs you the wrong way? On the job for example? How long before you start looking for a way to not have these people in your presence? And if you cannot find that way, how long before you start retaliating? Is it also safe to say that in a situation like this it is highly unlikely that you will respond with even greater kindness and respect for this individual in spite of what your emotions are relying to you? How much value does a typical person in this country place on their own feelings? The answer is a h*** of a lot [it’s probably the greatest determinant]. The answer is in most cases -a lot more than principles -which would be the better path to lead with. The world would be a much better place with principles as opposed to feelings being the primary mover of humanity.

Once upon a time people didn’t need corporate America. It was a very nice convenience. But no it’s not. The addictive model from the viewpoint of the dealer is that if you can provide a product people need-sheer heaven. All kinds of bonuses come along with that scenario.

If you could remember every single thing and keep it in the forefront of your mind that you had ever been exposed 2 throughout your lifetime, Imagine what would wife be like? The problem with many people is they learn and then they unlearn, they learn and then they unlearn… That’s why we see very few mental giants about us. SURPRISE SURPRISE -WHEN THINGS ARE TRULY GOOD, THEY SELDOM STAY THAT WAY:

1)Man’s need for change -even when it’s already perfect.

2)Man’s need to take anything and turn it to his own individual advantage. The economy, progress, capitalism….

That’s what’s happening in this country. It’s strange being able to see what is happening to your fellow human-beings -when they’re oblivious!

Look at what happens to the person who wins the lottery. People start contacting them to tell them how to spend their money. Friends you never knew you had short but your door step. And what about all the people who also bought a lottery ticket that week? In one way or another ridiculous amount of human beings are on this band-wagon. We all want yours or we’re trying to get our own. Or one and the same. The vast majority of us are far too affected by πŸ’°!

How do you know the information you’ve read about is accurate, let alone true?

It’s my understanding that some of the most intelligent people to have ever existed do not engage in intimate relationships. Or you could say that after having tasted one, or two….

So do we have a rating on eye-color and skin-color? As far as attractiveness goes? Is there a particular color that is thought of as most appeeling or envied? And if there is in fact an answith regard to a particular color, that polices more about humanity than it does about the individuals at the ❀ πŸ’™ πŸ’œ of the matter.

Perhaps one of the most important skills a person could seek to encourage in themselves is to be able to process large amounts of data very quickly. Of course being able to determine what’s most important and what isn’t is probably just as important. But none of this is necessary for the most important things. But it is for the secondary in tertiary things I suppose. It is for what some might consider the least important things I suppose.

It’s one thing to have been through alot -but when one also has a heightened awareness during each event… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

A mind that absorbs versus a mind that doesn’t absorb versus a mind that rejects.

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to imagine these writings are so precise in their expression. It feels perhaps more likely that the universe is so vast, and all -encompassing that anything thrown out their will somehow contain relevants, contain truth. BUT THEN AGAIN -I DON’T THINK SO. SOMETHING INCREDIBLE IS WHISPERING TO MY SOUL! Not everyone can do this; can replicate or produce this extraordinary experience! Not anyone in fact???

Some of the most intelligent people who have ever lived feel it is either wise to believe that there is a God or believes that there is overwhelming evidence that there is a GOD.

We know what a woman should look for in the man but given their limitations and their scared perceptions based on various experiences and even further skewed perception as a result.. What do most women really look for or settle for or feel they actually deserve from a man? And how much of that is on them and how much of it is based upon what 1 simply must settle for?

Imagine not being very sensitive and how much you can overlook in your personal relationships. Sounds like a pretty good deal yes? But is it? Imagine never really feeling the need to argue in your relationships? And what of passion?

The more people in this country who have to accept more and more as absent from their basic needs growing up. Think of all that anger accumulating in society. And when you do grow up, you have to realize that American dream that your parents and grandparents with basic card work and commitment were able to realize, now requires a monumental effort of such a magnitude, and to such a degree of 😩 stress, that you neither have the time, the, or the good cheer to enjoy that which you have worked so hard for. MORE ANGER!!!!!!

You know you can make it to the top in this society without using hardly any of GOD’S principles. Well, what I mean to say is satan uses GOD’S principles too…

In order to have a relationship, in certain cases both people would have to change. But you might be surprised at how many only require one person to change.

This might be a shot in the dark but people who get preferential treatment don’t feel so angry about other people getting preferential treatment. There are a lot of people who don’t get preferential treatment who are not very happy

When we’re young all we can do is live out our dreams through the words coming out of our mouths. After all, what do most of us really know about true love in our teens?

Somebody usually in a relationship doesn’t feel as strongly as the other.

What’s the difference between a man cheating on his wife with a woman he met in a bar and a woman cheating on her husband with a man who happens to be a rock star?

Everybody has a price to pay for the wages of sin on this planet.

We get so angry about the things that might have been, but we never think about the fact that if we had gotten our wish they wouldn’t have turned out the way we would have wanted them to be. GOD quite often doesn’t grant us our greatest hopes and dreams because HE knows they will never turn out or even end the way we dream they would-man is a great dreamer while GOD is a great FATHER.

If you knew what people experienced in their lives to bring them to the place where they are today -you would feel compassion for them and not hate or resentment.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Why wouldn’t a man or woman be a conflicted creature when so much of what he or she makes a part of their lives is in conflict with GOD and what HE stands for!

Fear of GOD and GRATITUDE toward GOD! Trust in GOD and be content and grateful for what HE has given -and 98% of your demons will vanish.

There’s few things that irk me more than a man screwing over a good, faithful wife! πŸ˜”

LOVE: How can you claim to love someone when you’re not the least bit willing to go out of your way for them? This is my family. Selfish in the extreme -even narcissistic.

My grandmother used to tell me “Rick loves Rick”. But nothing could have been further from the truth. I was trying to survive. But at the same time was continually being conditioned to believe that wife for other people would be much better off without me around. That and a considerable lack of self-love as an example around me. With all this going on… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Can a person hate themselves and love others? With us human beings anything’s possible. Anything except peace on Earth.

I saw on a movie once where a man used a woman sexually and then discarded her. He then confessed to her about that and all the lies he told her leading up to it. She told him you only shame yourself. She was hurt not bitter. How many of us can take a real lesson from that young girl? How many of us take on rage and other toxic emotions when somebody else does us wrong? Should we suffer because somebody else acts wrongly toward us? I think it’s a matter of the quality of suffering, not the quantity, or victim-role. I have a very hard time with not playing the victim. Once you’ve been a victim it’s hard not to be anymore.

RECOGNIZE -before it’s too late!

When a woman is trying to discover whether you are cheating on her or not it is often a sign they still care. For almost 4 years ANA hung in the while I had an affair and refuse to have sex with her. πŸ˜”πŸ˜ͺ Some people are masters of acceptance. I couldn’t accept what had happened and what was happening. Some of us need people who are not reckless but veryit’s awful and calculating in the decisions they make and how it effects those they love. I can’t say I’ve met nearly enough of those types of people. Not even about my wonderful ANA If only she had -how much more I would have loved her than I already do.

When a person is in a lot of pain or has been injured emotionally or even physically and doesn’t have the adequate or proper solutions in place -what do you suppose they’re going to do? Let’s just think about the physical. How many people are running around out there in the world inadequately inadequately or ill prepared to deal with their emotional pain. The answer is the majority. The question is why? Don’t we care!!!!!

If an alcoholic is out in the woods and gets severely injured physically they can only temporarily dress the wound till they get back to civilization where it can be taken care of properly. That is the same way of dealing with a situation. You don’t get back to civilization and return home with a screwed up dressing.

We like what we like and we don’t like what we don’t like; We’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, and we’re repulsed by what we’re repulsed by -another one of Humanity’s great mysteries -How do we change certain things? How do you go from making an alcoholic love alcohol to hating alcohol? How do you make a woman who is attracted to unhealthy men become unattractive to unhealthy men? Or attracted to healthy men rather!

Is longevity with a person you once loved enough to stay in a relationship? Knowing that that person will be there for you till the day you die and knowing that the world you live in is filled with very few opportunities such as this?

How many people who get sober end up getting divorced?

Some people don’t have the lack of character to play that sort of game. But before they can realize that they’re in that game. And when that tidal wave of shame, of conflict with one’s own set of values and true character comes crashing down on them; They go under –sometimes permanently! I’ve come close a few times. Why I didn’t go under I have no idea. Some situations were enough to push many of these people over I’m referring to above. And I’ve got multiples.

If you accept what you don’t like about your relationships, sometimes those things worked themselves out over time. If you don’t accept them the relationship often ends and you end up without the person you desire most to spend your life with. How many times have I failed to learn this lesson? The one that hurts most is with Ana.

Nothing in the universe can depart from the natural laws within it -without something supernatural [first] taking place. A person cannot dislike something in someone else and have that same character trait within them -and not feel a similar feeling towards themselves without something being terribly wrong within them. Furthermore, you cannot engage in an immoral act with someone else who is also engaging in that act knowingly, wilfully, without feeling some degree of contempt towards that person -unless there is something terribly wrong within yourself. Just look at the movie Control about the group Joy Division.

Humans have that ability to like and dislike something. To want and not want something. We’re immensely attracted to someone outside of our marriage -and yet we loathe at the same time.

How serious is it when somebody hangs themselves? If we were truly United as a species the answer to that would be that everyone mourns equally. But the truth of the matter is that it is hardly anything close to resembling that sadly. “I cannot deny what I see in the world”. Many people seem to feel the world is a cold place. And no colder is it than for a man who still appears able and strong, or who is feared or misunderstood.

Why wouldn’t a woman be afraid to fall in love with a man who is unstable? Or even a man who doesn’t have any stability to offer!

How strong would a person have to be to endure what GOD has enduredoesn’t do it?

How many of us do for GOD out of gratitude? How many of us do forgot to get even more from him? Do for GOD for the joy and sake of doing for GOD!

How can you ever expect GOD to Grant you happiness when you are continuously envious of other people’s happiness?

People who like to HATE -tend to! How else would you explain people who don’t -don’t?

How is it that somebody like Djokovic dreams from the earliest age of being the number one tennis player in the world and then grows up to have the perfect tennis body? How does that work?

How does someone at the earliest stage dream of being a world class singer and end up with a world class voice?

People who begin to lose hope become depressed. People who have lost all hope wilt away or commit suicide. As many people grow older they become depressed or suicidal because they began to lose hope of their dreams which seemed so alive and possible earlier and life even when they weren’t. Many of us were too ignorant to realize what was really going on. But losing hope doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve wisened up in our old age. It just means we stop believing. Don’t stop believing -even to the last day! Hope in and of itself is a good thing just as gratitude is.

In my relationship it was more about what we were doing and what I wasn’t getting out of the relationship rather than getting to know one another. No surprise given my history and problems with so much hurt. I think with the joy of getting to know ourselves better, we enjoy also good nigive me no others better. But when that aspect of our lives is missing, many of us these days, we lose sight of one of the most important features in a relationship -taking an interest in and getting to know one another. At least that’s what I’m thinking. At least that definitely was the case for me where I didn’t take time to know myself I’m just guessing that translates over into relationships as well. But what do I know

People who are nice when they’re young tend to be even nicer when they’re old.

Trust in GOD and for remain grateful to HIM! And all your wants and fears will scatter to the 4 -winds!

We don’t think about things this way but this is how the universe itself doesn’t fact operate. Our lower back is like a puzzle with bitten pieces. If you want those pieces to lock up thand lay for hours each day in a certain position and you will get that. Of course we don’t want this to happen but we’re taking the action that 1 would take if they did. It’s a lot of things in life for that way. Like becoming an Alcoholic. But if you want to practice tripping over a rug in the hall, then put it there where you frequently walk and -eventually you will master the skill at least once –I PROMISE!

I wasn’t such a good person as a young child -And for many years to come after that I suppose. I wasn’t a very happy person after all I had experienced. Nor was I taught the highest morals.

For those of us who were never granted a formal introduction to ourselves early on, the world can really wreak havoc in terms of that ever becoming possible.

MONDAY, MONDAY

Many people in this country are so delusional or detached -they don’t even know they’re playing “THE GAME”. And when they get burned by it -they’re literally shocked! FEELING Victimized lol πŸ’° For example, causes a lot of people to overlook things in others who have it. Stick around long enough –you’re bound to git burned. But is it not self-interest -once again- at the ❀ of the game? PEOPLE! PEOPLE! PEOPLE! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN???

We human beings are great at off-setting the NATURAL-BALANCE of things.

People get things confused all the time. When people get rejected they think it’s about them When people are desired they think it’s about them. No, actually is usually about the other person. People in general, don’t want or reject you not because it’s about you, but because it’s about them. Oftentimes people think people are a******* because they reject them or feel great about themselves when people desire them. The fact of the matter is that people can be a******* in both scenarios. The simple fact that 1 feels better than the other does not negate the underlying truth.

People often go back to the partner they really don’t want after having gone out into the world and being even further discouraged by what’s out there.

Sounds to me like we have a long road to rebuilding trust in this country. But Americans seem to be pretty comfortable with this scenario ->albeit in an uncomfortable way. “Hey we just don’t trust people ->that’s the solution”. It’s not only pretty ignorant it’s also pretty narrow. “Hey I’ve got all my needs met why do I need to take a risk?” But do you have your needs meant? Do you really believe you’re in a state of homeostasis? When somebody has been working very hard to get you out of that state so you can overly rely on the government and spend spend spend ->overly rely on corporate America? corporate America is pulling in money in numbers never seen before. Because Americans are uneasy and restless irritable and discontent. Just like an alcoholic or addict.

You either get rewarded by earthly things or by godly things. When we sacrifice or give up earthly things with godly intentions, GOD steps in and rewards or [forgives…]. People either do this inherently or through faith. People who lack this trait inherently and lack faif choose otherwise. Since they either believe I’m looking out for number one or they don’t believe in GOD’S ways or they say they believe in GOD’S ways but they do not practice what they claim to believe in [many Christians]… They have a tendency to never receive GOD’S blessings because they choose earthly ones for any number of reasons. And then when their children get sick and they finally get down on their knees and their prayers are not answered… They grow bitter at GOD; This is precisely how man thinks; and acts! Man far too often, is really not a very pleasant creature to behold. He thinks too much of himself; and too often!

Out of πŸ‘; out of 🧠. Out of 🧠; out of ❀. Out of ❀; ✌of 🧠.

When something breaches the blood brain barrier like a bacteria, a person can not only get very sick, they can die. When the world breeches the brain barrier [protecting the ❀], a person can not only get very sick, they can die. Protect your ❀ [I told Dale this once -he seemed intrigued].

There are always lots of theories out there about how something works. How it came to be. What happened to it now that it no longer exists. But once we begin to piece the facts together, All other theories tend to fall to the wayside. You never [never-say-never?] have multiple theories as “the” answer to the questions. WE LIVE IN A “SINGLE-TRUTH” UNIVERSE IT APPEARS! But we also live in a universe where man is free to believe as he so chooses -albeit with consequences [at times].

When something 1st comes out on the market it is often sold had a considerably lower price. Once it takes off however, or dependent on how far it takes off… Some people are masters of jumping on these opportunities. As for the rest of us… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜ A corporate America doesn’t care, it could be “s*** on a stick” that takes off -or is in vogue

Surely the United States is not the best country when it comes to taking care of its citizens. We have to pay…

We get upset because life seems unfair or is in fact unfair. Then we take it out on one another. We should correct this motivating issue. Or precursor.

I don’t think I’m a hard man to get to know but I am a hard man to get close to.

It’s a privilege to care for myself today -WHATEVER THE COST!

*****For 10000 years man has suffered from alcoholism-and only in the last 80 years have we found relief with some solution that consistently works

As a man is to his woman and his children on a ship in the middle of a violent storm, so it is with a sponsor who must lend support and calm to a newcomer in Alcoholics Anonymous facing for example the 4th and the 5th steps. Even if the man knows all is lost he must do his best to calm fears and lend hope.

Sometimes when the body is ill it can relax like nothing you’ve ever felt before. Aaaahhhh

The movie “RIO LOBO“. I don’t know why I make some people feel uncomfortable. I’m sure it’s not just that it’s the way I am.

For some people there seems to be a guarantee with regard to getting rich. But the vast majority of us it’s something of a risk. It’s hit -and-miss. So what do they have that we don’t? A gift that in this case just so happens to reap riches? Everybody has a gift. Not necessarily 1 that 90% of the population worships. Or wishes they had πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Man tends to try and make the universe, it’s laws and principles and even those governing interactions between our selves. The trick this type writing is to see these laws and principles in action as they are! VERY DIFFICULT THING FOR SOME. Tesla appeared to have this knack -among many others. Regarding particular areas any ways.

What happened to that money in the banks when the banks failed? Did he get burned? Did he get put in a hole in the worthless? Where did somebody capitalize on it. Because you see if it’s the latter I have a hard time with millions of families starving and freezing in the cold while a few people made millions. I have a hard time with that. “That’s Life?” Well “F” “U” BUDDY!!!!! “Life’s what we make it” -JODIE FOSTER -“CONTACT”.

Any song can be a hit if placed in the right time and place.

It seems to me that many people in this day and age will not work with you if they don’t have to. I have found that in many cases on eBay for example, if you are past the return date or the complaint date, the person will not work with you. That’s whether so many laws and so much mistrust.

Sometimes we get it right. And on the somewhat rare occasion when we do -ONLY GOD HIMSELF COULD SURPASS IT!

Americans are just taking it u* t** a** in this country by the government and by the corporate America. What you don’t want is to allow a shift in power from the people to the government or the government AKA corporate America. And that’s exactly what’s going on little-by-little. Americans don’t have the mind said that they need to hold this country. And like I said 25 years ago some people believe if you don’t have the stones to protect something then you don’t deserve to own it. Is true story Bud.

Sometimes it can take a very long time to get up while you’re still being kicked. We come from these screwed up families and then we call them some of Laden’s calm are not very fortunate to grow up in a very good community either so we keep getting kicked throughout our lives.

Everyone has issues. The chances of running into someone whose issues involve interaction with you are fair to good!

What I heard was that it’s too hard for doctors to collect on medicaid-dentist. I also heard as I want to tell the dentist what they’re willing to pay. That’s screwed up man because people who desperately need the work done are the ones who end up paying. The poor! Always the poor! Ones that have no power.

I get the feeling that a lot of middle class and middle upper class people don’t care much for lower class people. I just talked to 2 women 1 yesterday and one today from the same dentist office and they are both definitely uppity!

I wonder what people would say if a band today said they were more popular than Jesus Christ?

I don’t want somebody who doesn’t want me. But that’s not the way a certain people think is stupid as it sounds.

I didn’t quit the army the army quit me -means a lot to me.

A few people here and there realize something’s not right about all this and they explode or they break down. System really doesn’t care as long as it’s just here and there. As long as it’s this person not that person. As long as it’s a nobody not a person of importance to them. That’s the way things work.

Many people are resentful or judgmental of the poor/impoverished because “they” can’t fathom not having the ability or the drive to work. Oh well, if you can’t expand your mind or your reasoning or your understanding or your compassion… then that’s your problem!

Was George Bush pretending to be a “dim-witt”?

There are risks for consumers and for companies in business -both need to be prepared to accept this fact individually.

Corporate America is taking more and more power away from employees who have more of a fair-minded attitude towards the customer than the higher-ups, or lawyers, or think-tank-yuppies do. How does it feel to be a part of a team that spends all day long trying to skew the playing field further with customers in your companies direction with no end????? HOW DOES IT FEEL KNOWING YOU’RE HURTING YOUR OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO DO BUSINESS WITH THESE COMPANIES IN THE PROCESS?????

Artificial teeth/implants that yellow like regular teeth.

My ideas about what a relationship should be are too reasoble for the average American [atleast in my area]. And I have far too much conviction to the point of being uncompromising.

Once you put your fingers to the keyboard, your are creating music. Man has only a very narrow…. of what music is -BUT NOT THE INSTRUMENT ITSELF πŸ‘

AWARENESS is a gift that can seem like a burden.

Even with regard to trivial things God here’s our desires of our heart

There’s already plenty of historical evidence to prove that man on this Earth has done tremendous amounts of damage. Even to the point where we’re beginning to wonder if progress actually is winning out with regard to saving lives versus the damage man has done in harming humanity; Both in deaths and in quality of life. Another question we should ask is are we engaging in progress at the expense of life and quality of life itself, to improve and save lives or to make money? To gain a position of status? To gain power and advantage over others?

1] COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN

2] HOPE THAT WHATEVER LIFE IS THROWING AT YOU!

There are some real nice people out there in the world and there’s some real dicks-which one are you?

Divide and CONQUER -JUST WHAT WE NEED, MORE SEPARATION BETWEEN US!!!! Like these computer portals where you see doctors over the computer instead of face-to-face. Divide and conquer. Keep the masses from networking and getting close and bonding with each other.

If you could have anything in the world, whether they were moral or immoral, whether they were right or wrong, or even if there was the slightest doubt as to their merits… What kind of a person would you be? Would your life change drastically? Drastically outside of the basic necessities?. Because that seems to be where the problem is -when we reach beyond our basic necessities.

I could brag on GOD all day long.

I think more people get drunk or relapse who hold things inside then do people who vomit it all over the place. It’s just my opinion. Men versus women… would be a good comparison study.

Compliment often!

Try and be useful to others!

When you see someone riding around and one of those little carts at Walmart ask them if they need help getting something off the top shelf. Or if you see a woman/elderly person trying to get a large package of bottled water in the cart stop and help them out.

I like it when people screw up in my favor and the look on their face when I point it out to them. GOD deserves all credit of course! πŸ™πŸ» If that’s the only way we can earn people’s trust to begin with then so be it.

ACKNOWLEDGE ONE ANOTHER!

GOD -made Alcoholics because it was the only way he could get people to practice spiritual principles anymore.

Some people learn very early on that they get over things eventually. And so they get over from the start because the way that they’re inner workings operate, why even bother to go through the process of suffering. I’m not saying it’s healthy and quite a few of us do not seem capable of this. But I’m telling you some people are.

Some people don’t do anything to bring themselves unhappiness -others struggle with this. Most of us are somewhere in between of course 😏

GOD wants us to ascend not fall. But in the thick of things so many of us choose to fall -rather than rise. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

ACKNOWLEDGE ONE ANOTHER! It’s how…

Covid is evolving right. Layer after layer after later unraveling. One of the phases could actually be intended to shorten lifespan of people. Why killed people just shorten their lifespan and that’ll help the population growth. It also do away with the older generation much quicker which is more apt to detect the change is taking place now and in the future then younger generation to have already been somewhat assimilated.

On the one end some people dream about it, on the other end some people take it by force.

All these viruses that are affecting are lungs. COVID. RSP. All the blood has to travel through the lungs in order to be oxygenated. I wonder…

Some people shine so brightly in one particular area. There is no need for them to shine elsevhere. Or they have nothing left to give elsewhere.

Women i’m not interested in like the way I am. Women I’m interested in don’t -because I’m different with them!

Some people are not as they appear to be. Others are exactly as they appear to be. Take your pick.

You know America’s going to s*** when they allow companies to start charging them to make a payment. There are other things too. JOKE

There’s a certain kind of person. They seem very matter of fact. It occurs in both men and women. If they have any compassion and understanding whatsoever, and that is is narrowly disprohibited among specific individuals. These people can be highly educated or even highly successful. They can look like everyday ordinary people. But there’s something inside of him it’s sadly lacking. It may not even realize it. Although I think some of them I would go so far as to say actually do. These people I really don’t care for. They don’t care for me -INSTINCTIVELY!

Not everyone is so pleasant -but there are still good people. We should keep these things in mind before we turn a cold shoulder or judge.

I’M ALWAYS REMINDED GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES –WHEN I SEE THE SUN COMING UP. I’m always reminded just how powerful GOD is as well!

About 15 years ago maybe 20 I heard a interview involving Andy Roddick. What the commentator said about the interview was that “he gets it”. I guess this means that from one person’s perspective, life or life in tennis has a specific code or norm you follow? This is something I’ve never been familiar with apparently. That is if you equate this to success or fitting in. After hearing this, I remember asking GOD in the moment or in the days following “I want to get it too GOD”, and in that moment an immediate answer ensued: 1) It doesn’t matter what people think, it only matters what I think; 2) People are what matters.

“… And don’t give me more of this s*** about your GOD or his GOD or her GOD or this GOD or that GOD…”

What do you have when you have a strong government and a strong corporate America and a weak, needy society? You have a country that other countries fear or respect out of fear. You have a society that is marked and respected little. And you have a thriving profit margin of highly sought after goods -nationally, and internationally. America has gone from being highly respected and reveered to being the #1, or #2 believe whatever you wish; if you need it we can get it for you; ever-evolving society! JUST WHO ARE WE, AND JUST WHAT DO WE STAND FOR THESE DAYS? Is believing whatever God you choose. We’re gonna redact our foundational beliefs because we don’t want to offend you. Either we have some highly manipulative people in this country or we have some people who don’t know the meaning of hanging on to heritage at any cost. No, America is selling to something far lower than who it was initially. And I’m sure satan has a hand in it. The people running this country are slaves to their bodies [ego’s, bellies…] not to right and wrong. Not to principles of the highest order – It happens time and time again throughout history. Man source on the wings of GOD, decides he doesn’t need GOD, then slowly glides back down-to-earth, and as he begins to experience turbulence on his approach back to earth, he once again cries out to GOD! Joke. Same foolish cycle over and over again. The bottom line is a few men really want to have to depend on GOD –well tough shit! I’ve often stated in the past, or post the question, you’ve GOD gave us a real choice, then why can’t we have a good life without HIM? It seems impossible really. But on the other hand, why would any rational [loving] human being ever want to do without GOD in his or her life?

Can life exist or feed off of inorganic material alone? Is there anything inorganic?

People always come looking for their money. It’s probably the 2nd highest percentage of accountability or reliability regarding a human being. The one at the top of the list? Borrowing money lol πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚ 🀣 πŸ˜… πŸ‘Œ I get more consistency from my creditors than I do my own family.

Our lives are either being ran by COVID or Terrorism!

It might have taken us a little longer and more lives if we had maintained our freedom according to the Constitution of the United States, but then certain people wouldn’t have benefited from the changes. While it is true the best of humanity came out during and after 911 -so did some of the worst! And we always have to go back to that crucial self-evaluative-question “What part did we play in bringing about this unthinkable act?” As much as human beings/Americans do not want to think about it -we always have to ask ourselves. however large or small, however unjust the event or consequences may seem, “What’s our part?”

Some people contribute useful things people gladly welcome while others do not gladly welcome them. Because of the nature of what you are contributing that is useful.

Is safety and pleasure are the 2 biggest things in this society. So if it’s OK for a woman to assume that a man is threat to her is it OK for a man to assume that she is an object of pleasure open to pleasuring him as well?

Recovering Alcoholics over time become lime a lion in a zoo!

WHEN YOU CAN QUIT YOU DON’T WANT TO! WHEN YOU NEED TO QUIT YOU CAN’T!

Alot of people in AA came out of TREATMENT VENTERS -And made the transition into recovery. I am one of them. πŸ€”Not everyone gets sober upon their initial introduction to AA. TOOK ME ANOTHER 3 1/2 YEARS. AND I NEEDED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE 1200 DAYS. BUT I COULDN’T CONCEDE TO BEING AN ALCOHOLIC ONCE I REMAINED CLEAN AND SOBER THE FIRST 4MONTHS.

People may tell us ideally their notions of right and wrong, but when it comes to pitting action against real life situations come when they realize that something is going to cost them something… many times we tend to start manipulating and rationalizing.

If you would see some of the prices for equipment in the dentist office it would give the government paying $250 for a screwdriver new meaning. I’m guessing that’s the case with some things. Stainless steel platter for example $300? I’m just thinking πŸ€” it wouldn’t surprise me.

It’s the same thing over and over with a lot of these guys. Smooth talking and a major flaw or 2. Women get hooked and then they see what’s underneath and they can’t let go. Or he won’t let them go in some instances.

Men give women what they want so they can get what they want. GOD Doesn’t operate this way. Oftentimes he will not give us what we want in order to get what he wants because hes more interested in our well pair than his own. Our own welfare rather than his gratification..

Safety and pleasure are at the top of the totem Pole in this country.

It’s not the most people are entirely insensitive. It’s that they channel themselves to specific or particular areas in life, people. It’s like driving down a street I’m trying to keep an eye on both sit’s consistently-it can’t be done. People sensitivity operates in much the same way. They can only apply it so much. Call it a weakness or a limitation or human nature but that’s how most of us are. The wonderful thing about it is that se people enjoy that attention,, while most others will be like the flower pot or the dog on the porch, or the beautiful decoration on the lawn that got missed. But GOD DOESN’T MISS ANYTHING!

Don’t 2nd guess yourself. Remember the feeling you got when you were right there in that moment which prompted you to make the decision you did.

This society has a problem with giving ample attention to each individual whose path it crosses.

I told you a long time ago that if this society had a different set of priorities you would be at the top instead of the bottom of the Totem Pole. JESUS WOULD BE AT THE PINNACLE WHERE HE BELONGS!

A stronger person with a poorer plan will often lose to a weaker person with a better plan.

Everything in GOD’S universe has an assigned value. And need I say, everything going on inside of us as well. Man gates the things that that bring little effect or even moral value if it either doesn’t bring him what he wants or doesn’t demonstrate an immediate consequence of his actions. But not so with GOD! In the universe it may appear that these things are the case but they are not. Oftentimes compassion from GOD intercedes as well. Delays as well while God observes and waits and sees if we are willing to learn or take accountability. On a side note, man oftentimes does not delayed with regard to holding his fellow man accountable. Why this disparity?

I’ve said it before, money is what determines how well they live and where they live, not their moral conduct. Deserve as measured by income not by how good a person is according to man. This is not a rule written in stown we’re black-and-white but it is a rule that seems too be fairly consistent across-the-board. Sometimes you will see a person not want to sell something to someone for any amount of money because they don’t like who they are. Because they’re not a good person. Bravo! But most people will give in once a price that cannot be refused is present. And there are a lot of unfit or undeserving people oh who can raise that price almost indefinitely. But GOD doesn’t work that way!

If you’re gonna come at somebody make sure it has something to do with a truly grievous transgression, and not something as shallow or trivial as envy!

Money has value because the people around us respond to it like nothing else, when nothing else will move, or motivate them –SAD FACT! The more love’s stock goes up, the more money’s stock goes down. The more money’s stock goes up the more love’s stock must be down.

People who are nobody have to fit the part. People who have made their mark have the part tailored to them. SIGHS- AND SO IT IS WITH MANKIND -ALWAYS DIFFERENT FROM GOD!

A lot of people can’t handle it when you come across as awkward or uncomfortable and conversation or in meeting. Some people handle it quite well.

Population control is a tricky thing. By intentionally killing off part of the population you kill off part of your customer base. Survival and profit always run neck and neck in a capitalism society. You have to measure the losses over the game. And you certainly are not gonna be killing off people in the population if you yourself cannot survive it. And for the even more shallow individuals, if you cannot stand having the manner in which you are accustomed to living compromised. Compromised to a point unacceptable to you.

All this s*** in the nineties and 2 thousands about white men in prominent positions being asked if they ever use the word n*****. 1st of all I thought it was a free country. For blacks and whites and Mexicans and Chinese alike-native Americans too. Anyways the thing that is more disturbing to me is the implication or the assertion that it’s OK for a black man to use the word n***** but not a white man? I thought a man is a man as a man-isn’t that the direction we’re trying to go in here? And lastly, slang word that is intended offensively is offensive whether it’s a black man sanded or a white man sanded or a Mexican man sanded or a Chinese man saying it or a Native American man saying it. Or woman for that matter! This is just another perfect example of man doing whatever he feels like doing. Instead of taking into account the full picture. In addition, man tends to assert his charity and his compassion for his fellow human beings when and where it suits him -and rarely where and to the degree it should be, most importantly. One of man’s greatest flaws is trying to ease his conscience without too much sacrifice. Or even worse yet -trying to bolster his ego without too much sacrifice. What a crock O’ s*** boys!!!

*****You can’t get spiritual after the s*** hits the fan, too many people get drunk trying to do things that way. You have to be in shape and ready before the s*** hits the fan not after. But too many people either fail to understand this or fail to pay heed.

When we picture a person being intimate with their significant other or chosen partner… We see a side of them that we ourselves will probably never seen in real time and reality. We also see people who ordinarily wouldn’t allow themselves to be vulnerable vulnerable. I find it a very interesting state to see people in because the fact of the matter is about 98% of humanity is engaging in this sort of thing so it’s not really imagining. At least when you’re imagining the basics which covers about 9-some% of the population.

If you want “X” you can have it now; but if you insist on “Y” you’ll have to wait. Very few people really give thought to this concept or scenario as it plays out in their actual lives. That is to say the role they play in the outcomes they themselves become disheartened or frustrated or even angry with. And consequently how it affects their relationship and their faith in a hpower. But I’m trying to say is that as human beings we won’t why and we want it now – In many instances we don’t understand why not and in many instances we don’t even care to ponder the reasons.

I may not have what it takes to have a relationship with the vast majority of women partners are even all of them, but I have something in its place that is very very unique and powerful. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

There are a lot of inconsistencies in life or conflicting evidences in life that seem to have a lot of people scratching their heads with regard to God’s intentions or even his very existence. Are there things that are a 100% consistent which add credence to God’s existence and his benign intentions? The sun has been coming up on this planet for over 4 billion years….

In ally years on this planet comparatively speaking, very few people I have encountered [want to (capable of)] go out of their way. A very small %.

O e of the 7-MYSTERIES OF MANKIND: How a person can develop feelings, or an opinion towards a person THEY DON’T KNOW! πŸ€”

Master-Vraftsman are few and far in between. People for example who cut diamonds. Or have come close to perfecting playing a particular instrument Matter though, is fairly predictable, reliable. I believe, with regard to dealing with humanity as an individual, -imagine learning to play the guitar 🎸 where each time you pick it up it is a little or alot different from the previous time you play,ed -both PHYSICALLY & MELODICALLY? From this perspective, is it any wonder so many of us REMAIN NOVICES!

Some people have lives before they drank, while they drank… NOT ME!!!!

Once we get past our own INSANITY -THE WORLD’S AWAITS US IN FULL-SWING!!!!!

Sometimes removing is the only way you can yield the result you’re looking for -not adding something!

My life has largely been characterized by the lack of looking out for myself and taking care of myself!

Most people will insist they want normal from the person they are going to be close intimate and vulnerable too. But once they become attached, and once the get to know the person better, are in many cases, not only to discover, but inclined to accept anything but normal. People act very differently with a person they are attached to versus a person they have no attachment to whatsoever in many cases. That’s why men work so hard at hooking in women and women hooking in men. Once there hooked it’s a lot harder for them to reject you if you have any glaring, or hidden issues.

When you treat people like they are nothing a lot of times they will respond in the opposite fashion. They will respond by working that much harder to be accepted. It’s a problem in this society -particularly with women. I notice that when you embrace someone rather than working hard to to get closer T you they tend to push away or even becoming different. That also was a problem in this society.

Some people are actually more liked than Jesus himself

What qualities do people have that other people are attracted to? And I’m not talking necessarily about the type who have the highest scruples and values!.

Believe it or not I learned today that we can stereotype against ourselves. Today I learned that I don’t dress as nice as I could and according to my counselor as nice as I should, because a lot of men that do do so to attract women with a selfish or even harmful motive.

There are a lot of people that don’t look pure and yet via their physical and moral state, they are! Conversely calmer there are a lot of people who look pure and yet via their physical and moral state they are not.

I can’t wait till I get out of this debt so I can really help some people who are in serious need. People with children…

2 things: we need to stop not believing in ourselves and in others; We need to start helping ourselves and others. America has 2 major problems. We don’t trust each other. You don’t think much of ourselves. Why would we give in the lifestyle we created in this country. We don’t have the time or the interest in helping ourselves or other people. Self care isn’t a high priority in this country so why would caring for others be?

“I can’t afford to invest my emotional-self with people who don’t have the time [or interest in reciprocating].” πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

JESUS tried to tell us; HE tried to remind us of the importance of holding on to our humanity.

What in nature is 100%? 0%?

A man’s will is one of the things that can counter/contradict the laws of nature! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

If people form opinions about JESUS what are the rest of us to expect with regard to ourselves? JESUS was simply pure truth. There was no opinion to be formed -and yet man managed.

If they treated JESUS the way they did -what are the rest of us to expect?

People aren’t the only ones that gossip. I think satan wants to keep me from having the one thing I want more than anything. He gossips, he whispers in other people’s ears also. πŸ€” There’s gotta be a reason why all these people will have nothing to do with me.

You ever see real hate from a human being? Others 2 kinds. The kind that comes from a true victim. And the kind that comes from true predators or disciples of satan.

In my case I don’t have to think positive to be happy iand upbeat-all I have to do is not think negative.

If you reach one person and annoy 20 -it’s worth it.

The perfect life for most people in this country involves a little bit of GOD’S principles and a little bit of satan’s principles.

If a person cannot overcome their [own] preconceived or preconditioned notions about relationships -in order to accept and appreciate “the person they we’re destined for”… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Isn’t that often what happens in the movies? They dream something up and then man makes it a reality 10 20 50 years later!

There’s nothing wrong with acting like you don’t give a s*** about people; in this day and age that’s the norm. Just like today dishonesty is the norm. You return something valuable that you found and people look at you like you’re weird. 80 years ago you were looked at as weird if you were dishonest. It’s like 80 years ago you were looked at as weird if you were not warm and friendly. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Today you are looked at as weird if you are warm and friendly.

The town I live in is a border town, a college town, a military town, a retirement town, and there’s no segregation, and it has a prison.

A person who can survive can live anywhere they choose. I don’t think most of us have that sort of confidence. So we live where we live where we’re limited as to where we live. I’m thinking South of friends?

You can tell a man who had a good relationship with the woman/females in his life growing up versus the men who haven’t -in most cases.

There was a time ⏲ when not everyone was thought πŸ€” to be expendable. If someone is randomly shaving off the populous. Maybe now they believe they can for example, replace the most intelligent people on the planet artificially. Man doesn’t ordinarily make a move until he is sure hes got his basis covered nowadays. I mentioned the other day shaving off the population and losing your customer base. Profit I mean. And does not do so unless he knows he can survive it. Or with the more greedy -continue to increase profits.

The more you work at something the more you get back out of it is the philosophy. And man seems to be working increasingly with regard to the physical world. Uncovering nature’s secret. Making πŸ’° πŸ€‘ πŸ’Έ πŸ’² πŸͺ™ πŸ’Ά <- How many icons do you need for money? πŸ˜† 🀣 πŸ˜‚ 😹 The thing about it is man is missing the boat. He’s pointing all his energies into the lower things in life not the higher things. Safety, security, pleasure, comfort… I often scratch my head with regard to these people who are considered most brilliant and yet they continue too swimming circles round the lesser things in the universe. Slaves to the lesser things within themselves. πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€”

Women are looking for what’s normal for them in the man. Men naturally adjust to this reality semi… And then as the woman gets to know the man better she realizes he aint so normal according to her. Most of us men eventually come to realize just how important or perhaps just how much a part of a woman’s nature doing things according to themselves really is embedded in them. One of the things that seems to be in vogue these days is acting like you don’t want anything from someone even though you do -and everyone should know you do in specific instances. Why? Was because we are made to want certain things and it is normal. But people who are insecure and afraid and living in a climate in a society where mistrust is running rampant… this is the new game. When nobody knows each other you gotta pretend like you don’t want anything. F****** stupid man One thing is for sure, 1 thing is for certain with regard to mankind, if you want anything from them or out of them you gotta play the game with them or you gotta force them, or… you gotta take it.

A person who can survive anywhere can live anywhere.

One of the things that should lend creedence to The Bible, to GOD’S WORD, to the value of its teachings, to GOD’S very existence itself -is the fact that in spite of an increasingly [rapid] everchanging world, man cannot [and will not] seem to improve his character! THAT SITUATION IS PRECISELY THE SAME AS IT WAS SINCE THE BEGINNING -WITH SOME IMPROVEMENTS SCATTERED ABOUT -POST JESUS! The only reason we don’t live like animals in certain parts of the world is because we’ve developed enough to build a semi-illusory notion of security and safety and that our needs for that day πŸ€” [make that a week, a month, a year, indefinitely is the thought some of us hold] will be met -otherwise, most of us would literally be “offing” each other for crumbs. Very few people would think, stay calm, and if necessary perish rather than commit a wrongful-act 🎬 PEOPLE 😏 One thing the government does have right though is that we are prone to panic. If we would only get our s*** together then the government couldn’t keep using that excuse to keep things from us. Even though they’re keeping things from us in many instances has little do with the threat of panic -buuutttttt… Any old excuse we afford them will do.

As the lust for materialism increases a resource space will continued to take an increasing hit.

The more valuable and sought after something in a climate of mistrust and dishonesty, the greater the fear of owning it becomes.

Even if you can just come up with one memorable line for a song…

Some people don’t know any better and some people would prefer to slave for years to get something rather than go directly to that which created all things. All you have to do is pay homage and put him 1st and the great many things will be granted unto thee. Even people who presumably have full knowledge of this fact -would prefer to labor away for YEARS AND YEARS!

You get something for X-amount and then you find someone who really wants it bad enough and you sell it to them for 2, 10, a 100 X the amount. Some people are pretty good at this.

The only way to obtain the unattainable is with GOD!

It’s as impossible for a person to be completely selfish as it is to be completely unselfish!

Things go s***** and some people feel bad. Things are going good and people feel good. But this isn’t the case for everyone. This isn’t the pattern for/with everyone.

You don’t go around hand picking the people you help -you help the ones GOD puts in front of you.

Some people operate strictly off of know how-for others it runs a little deeper.

You don’t think in some cases stores stores raise prices so they can offer discounts later on? How many of us keep track of such things?

No no alcoholics don’t just look down on alcoholics. Trim people tend to look down on overweight people. What they fail to understand and both instances that they don’t have the same problem as the people they’re looking down on. What they fail to understand is that in many instances if they themselves had that problem they would wind up in the same predicament. People are so foolish and narrow and shallow. Same thing goes for making a lot of money versus being homeless. Yah, people want to be poor.

Look at a lot of the old things that have become obsolete and have had their right-by-law expired and you can create or recreate that line and make millions.

This might be lying somewhere about. People are embarrassed or ashamed to have other people see or know what they are doing -but not so with GOD! Certain people will go to any length to insure people don’t know…. Or to do away with them if they do know -but not so with GOD! People will be ashamed to ask somebody for further assistance or further anything after they have been helped so much by that person in the past -but not so with GOD!

Just as most of us don’t have a clue what our cable repairman is doing in our living room precisely; just imagine the power that scientist’s and government’s and even corporate America and/or someone who is truly diabolical have. You know people really shouldn’t be running around the world with knowledge of things the rest of us have no clue about when it involves our own welfare and the welfare of this planet. And yet there it is. Do you really think that there are people in the world with bad intentions who don’t have enormous power to harm us -are running around? Of course you don’t, it would ruin your day.

Little-by-little the masses are having their dna samples gathered for any number of reasons. Some voluntarily like trying to get out of pain child support. What difference does it make they have it now. That would probably wouldn’t be one of the last things a human being would want to hand over is a sample of their DNA. I mean what could be more sacred or more private or more vulnerable in this day and age? What else might be of grave importance? Allergies! After all, the wars against humanity are not just being fought on battlefields anymore correct?

Someone not long ago commented that “when things are all going your way the end could be near”.

Want to know what is truthfully priceless? The look on someone’s face who has never known kindness their entire life -and then you show them some!

With some people you must resort to overkill in order to kill them.

There is always a place in the world for people who are overly mistrusting. Relationships doesn’t appear to be one of them

When you care about someone you reflect on them often with deep sentiment

Alot of words we know we just don’t know the meaning. What I meant to say was there are a lot of meanings we know we just don’t know the word man has selected to represent them.

The intent and the feeling with which you gather things unto yourself. The intended depth of feeling with which you gather things unto yourself…

Some people are very different behind the wheel of a car than they are when they are out and about exposed. Not in the way they feel but in the way they act, in the way that they vent.

Sometimes we have to work up a store of energy within us before we walk into a situation. Now we can’t always see what’s lies ahead, so it’s always good to have that energy in wait anyways. Everything is about energy and/or power

I think JESUS smiles common even last when he sees us enjoying ourselves and happy in a pure way or as a result of pure living [something pure].

Some people can adapt to a particular situation while others are handpicked foray particular situation. Sometimes a group of people are thrown into a situation to see which ones can…. will…. It’s amazing what human beings can become or accomplish when their survival depends on it.

A lot of relationships start out like a frog placed in a pot of lukewarm water, or in a pot of nice cool water on a hot summer’s day -with the heat being turned up slowly with the frog realizing it!

We mope around and over a lost opportunity we became aware of well there are millions around us that are lost that we are unaware of. In every direction we move in-and-in every 2nd it passes there is opportunity lost and opportunity gained. Doors two old opportunities close and doors to new opportunities open simultaneously, staggered, randomly… for the sake of argument.

1st of all, what does it take for one man to make a difference? 2nd of all, if one man can make a difference -imagine what we can all do, even half the degree each of us that one man who made a difference showed!

Why do so many people take their time in a new relationship? Is it because they don’t know the other person or is it because they don’t know themselves?

What’s the difference between energy and power?

I do some pretty incredible things and I’m not even thinking about it. I show some pretty incredible abilities, like dexterity when I’m not even thinking about it.

I t**** call all the accolades in the world and throw them in the trash just to reach one more soul. TRUE-SHTORY!

The chances of losing something or having it taken away, or stolen are far greater than somebody coming along and giving it to you. THINK ABOUT IT

They say to embrace heartavhe, struggle, pain… Is it any easier for WE AMERICANS TO EMBRACE PEACEFULNESS?

For the longest time I couldn’t understand why people were they were with me as an adult living in the town I live in. I couldn’t get on this with myself I guess. Now I know what a big part of it is. Now I know what the differences between me and a lot of other people with regard to how the people in this town interact and behave. I just can’t allow myself to get close to these people -because they’re too toxic -too much of a threat to my SENSITIVE NATURE! And these people are not going to risk, sacrifice, go out of their way to change that. To investigate that! And they are clearly not going to overlook it.

It’s s*** officiating when the calls go against your team and it’s great officiating when it goes for your team. That’s human beings for you. And what about the cheating going on with the players the last couple of decades? When they know there’s a bad call, they play it off so often. What kind of an example is this to our children?

So how does that work? Somebody sues a company and then we all have to pay higher prices to cover the Loss? If that’s the case even some of the time -then it’s the public paying for the companies/employees mistakes not the company! πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ And what about these companies that have animals that get sick and die and we the public pay these ridiculous prices for months to come? Banks too! These government bailouts who ends up paying for them? It always falls on the shoulders of the average American citizen. WHY? because whether big-business or nig-government want to admit it or not –THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN IS STILL THE FOUNDATION AND BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY! Even though certain entities want us to believe we’re the mouse in the room rather than the elephant!

The newcomer may be the life’s blood of AA, but the old-timer is the backbone!

Why do transactions on my bank account remain in the pending status through the weekend? Aside from the fact that millions of people across the country overdrawn due to this fact? Why in this day-and-age is there a lag remaining? I had a bank manager tell me one time “this is how we make our money”.

So if positive people tend to attract more people come even though many of us are not positive by nature should we try to be more positive [so that we can attract more people?]. Where’s the line between who we are, where we should improve ourselves versus where we are in the world who selfishly and twistedly are wanting to have things it’s own way? I think that’s the key, we should always seek to improve ourselves. Not improve ourselves so that we can be accepted by the world and get what we want and need. Thankfully there’s still enough of the world left to be able to survive through self improvement rather than simply pleasing the world.

I’ve met some pretty interesting personalities throughout the years. Pretty interesting mindsets I guess I should say.

Looking back I realized I have some pretty good taste.

How many of us are [not] genuinely affected by the loss of certain people in the world that we’ve never known? How many of us are [in fact] genuinely affected by the loss of certain people in the world that we’ve never known! 2 issues there to contemplate.

The beautiful thing about people who pray is that it speaks volumes about who a person is, who a person chooses to be. The beautiful thing about people who pray for the world is that it speaks volumes about how a person is, and how a person chooses to be towards the 🌎 around them!

Songs help us to discover and hence define, add definition to ourselves that we were previously unaware of. You could day, “I was born with a 6 gun in my hand” for example. When I was born, I had to fend for myself at least emotionally -and perhaps sometimes physically.

*****Are you going to wake up 30 years from now in awe of the many life’s stages you have gone through to get to where you’re at? Rising and falling, rising and falling but always in the end edging/eeking out just a little further ahead? 2 things: you have to start somewhere, and; you have to stay on course. Sure we all lose our way here and there -just don’t lose your way permanently.

When we become a part of something versus observing it no matter how astute our abilities to observe… no matter how precise our powers of observation may be…

It’s better to have a dull life that is free from sin, free from chaos, free from conflict! But that’s not really the way most people think in this country. Even the best of us get ourselves into messes that could have been avoided if we had only been more in line with the above philosophy. Being idle isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

Do you insist on Justice when you’re on the wrong end of injustice? Do you lay down like a meat lamb when the injustices on the other end and the person gives you a pass? Maybe you shouldn’t sit on it as well. Most of us are always fighting something within us when we’re not simply laying down.

Perhaps America wasn’t founded on it but it is currently living on the premise of fear and pleasure seeking, gratification. The opposite of 2 of the highest spiritual principles faith and trust. We live in fear because we have no faith. We’re constantly chasing after materialism because we do not trust/rely upon [our GOD to provide exactly what and how much we need, and when we need it]. Frankly, more and more of us are not interested in such an arrangement -certainly not unless things get bad enough!

Is there anything that will make man not cross A-line he has the ability to cross or he thinks he has the ability to cross no matter how perilous or dangerous to the world? Is there anything? Is there anything that man can say “no I will not go there to[o]”? Some things man should not… Some boxes man should not open. Is there a πŸ“¦ every man on the planet will not [attempt to] open [or just some men with regard to any particular πŸ“¦? If you repeat this pattern, the answer is there is no πŸ“¦ that some men will not attempt to open. HOW STUPID ARE WE??????

Throw a bold person into a large enough group and you’re going to find people who don’t like him or her.

I’m not bragging about me I’m bragging about God in me.

Our best defense is to not give anybody a reason to go on the offense.

If a person figures about 5 or 10% of their life is Represented by miracles then you gotta figure at least another 30 or 40%, perhaps even 90% yes represented by miracles then you gotta figure at least another 30 or 40%, perhaps even 90% is…in all actuality represented by miracles. There are those things we are unaware of and then there are those things we misinterpret.

There’s different kinds of TOUGHand there’s different kinds of STRONG!.

MEANING, PURPOSE, DIRECTION -LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU- GOD!

Renewed Hope and a NEW PAIR OF GLASSES. WHEN THINGS AREN”T GOING MY WAY GOD IS LOOKING OUT FOR ME/PROTECTING ME [FOOTPRINTS]. He’s trying to get me draw me closer to HIM! Or keep things from getting between us!

Try coming into AA AND JUST NOT DRINKING -EVENTUALLY, YOU WILL WANT MORE -TRUST ME!!!!!

IS AA WORSE THAN DRINKING?????

When I speak in AA nowadays [with the advent of timers], it’s like trying to stuff 10# on shit in a 5# bag! Lol

We should constantly remind ourselves that anything that happens in our lives can be turned to good. Anything that happens in the lives of those we love and care about deeply can be turned to good.

I’ve heard about so many blowout games my teams have played and. But once I turn on the TV the other team starts scoring. I’ve seen this over and over.

You have a warm shower in the middle of the North Pole and no clothes at the height of Winter. What do you do? No other clothing, towel or blanket whatsoever.

Perfect balance. You’re in the room with a guy. You’re in a cell with a guy. He’s macho, prone to violence, and has extreme self worth issues. You look at him and then you don’t look at him. You make various gestures which continued to push him to the brink of confronting you. But you walk that line continually never quite pushing him over the edge. Every time hes just about to act or speak up you act accordingly to change his or divert his approach. Now that takes some kind of mastery. Not only when he is on the brink do you withdraw but you pull him back from the brink as well. WOW!

Man’s intentions pale in comparison to the potential existing in the universe.

Instead of saying that’s precisely what I was thinking, say that’s what I was hoping you would say. See the different?

…a renewed belief in GOD!

Some people are prone to believing gossip about others -but when it comes to gossip about themselves, they have little tolerance.

Man sends messages even when hes not.

Don’t try to explain things to people which are easily misinterpreted. And have no bearing whatsoever regarding them either.

My mind has been exploring for 31-32 years. Working and working and working. Probably far more than 10000 hours tp date -in order to master something. After practicing something for well over 10000 hours what do they consider you?

James bond’s image has to change and evolve to fit the new America. But who is shaping the new America?

I’ll take a person who doesn’t know what they’re doing but is willing to learn any day over someone who knows what they’re doing and chooses to behave as if they don’t.

I’m not bragging on myself I’m bragging on GOD in me!

Different things help us to find our way. Different things help us to develop a deep understanding within and without. Like in the movie no time to die. The line you’ve had everything taken away from you before you’ve had a chance to even fight for it. That was me as an infant. An orphan just like James bond. No real relationship with my father throughout the entirety of my life like Tony Stark.

It’s true that a lot of men… a woman needs to watch out for. So if we’re made for a woman, and visa-versa, the what… πŸ€” how… πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I see women out there with a look of disdain on their face because I want them and yet I used to think to myself πŸ€” isn’t that natural? While it is true that a lot of women get off on a man wanting them, the fact of the matter is that a lot of women are put off by it. I think the answer to this riddle is that man was created to need a woman not want her so much. You could also argue that a lot of women… What GOD intended to happen inside of a woman by a man needing her, but also a lot of women are put off by it because there’s something wrong inside of them -just as there are a lot of men who have something wrong with them who have no concept of needing a woman, only wanting and desiring them. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

When I don’t think about things that bring me down “I RISE!” In my case I don’t even have to think positive.

When I was young I had I hoped that sustained me. It was a misguided hope; but interestingly enough it sustained me nonetheless. Therefore, is hope based upon the wrong things -better than no hope at all?

Whether you get involved with someone or not, when it’s dutters or stammers in terms of getting off the ground, after a while you change you were thinking in the 1st place. Quite often in the early going we’re intrigued with people. But in many cases it doesn’t last.

One of the reasons I perhaps show kindness and giving to certain people is because I know what it’s like to have that absent from your life-it’s a pain that’s indescribable. These sorts of things and in different areas exist throughout humanity.

Having too high an expectation of people is one thing but being injured by them is something entirely different. If you just so happen to be highly sensitive or highly perceptive or both you may have to keep most people at a distance.

Try to show enthusiasm for other people’s excitement about their own good fortune.

One thing that a lot of people inhabiting these 1st-world-countries have in common is that WE WANT OUR PRESENTS TO BE FELT.

We would all be well to remember that our fellow man is not God. We are apt to get bumped, bruised, offended, short changed, exploited, shunned…

Many problems can be solved by doing less not more. But doing less seems to be a problem for me. Just as being content with less seems to be a problem for man.

TRY TO BE LIKE A COOL, SUBTLE BREEZE ON A HOT SUMMER’S DAY RICK. ~GOD~
