We’re limited to what we know is going on around the world -Only by what we’re told. We’re limited in terms of how much truth we’re able to discern. We’re basically, reliant on fallible, and in some cases, dishonest human beings.

Did you know you could take somebody else’s idea and set it up somewhere else in the world and make a boat load of money if you pick the right place. People would buy Levi’s for 20 bucks and sell them in Japan for 2, 3, $400.

When was the last time the whole world slept? MAN NEVER SLEEPS!

Night constantly changes day; day constantly changes night. When did we 1st acquire the ability to remain in continual daylight?

*Why do most Alcoholics have to work the steps on a resentment question meant? Because they can’t get over it on their own. All the answers to life are right there in front of us if we’re willing to set aside all the garbage blocking us from it, all the self blocking us from us/it as well. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

A man can stumble across something not knowing what it is and then another man can get wind of it and no you know what it is, what its potential is. That’s how we progress in one way. But man also has the capacity to misuse that which he has discovered unfortunately.

Did we all really think that once man decoded the entire DNA strand of his species, or whatever it was we’ve been doing for 40 years… That it was all going to be a good thing? That people wouldn’t start screwing with things in the other direction?

When we’ve done something shameful, shame is a good thing. When we should be worried is when we do something shameful and don’t feel shame any longer. I remember whether in the 1st or maybe 2nd decade of my recovery, no longer feeling shame after doing something shameful and going out into the world and looking people in the eye. No that’s a tragedy.

If it turned out that Americans really did plan 911, and you confronted them about it, they would come up with a bonified reason for doing it. Man always has a good excuse for doing things contrary to GOD’S will.

Norm believes in a moment of silence thanks anymore. We get very uncomfortable when we run out of things to say and we shouldn’t. We should just go with it-embrace it. Sometimes it’s better not to say anything at all than to say the wrong thing or before something.

There’s nothing wrong with a healthy fear.. What does the child who is healthy do when they are afraid? They run to their parent for protection and safety. That’s what we’re supposed to do with GOD as his children.

Placing anything before GOD -is like placing something too big , too broad,, OR TOO HEAVY,, on the foundation. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Give yourself some HOPE! Give yourself SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

For me, DEPRESSION is a lack -of HOPE!.something of something to look forward to forward to!

My depression is situational –WARRANTED! Life has been gravely disappointing!

Conserve your energy for when you need it! Man wastes… Often pretends he has all the ⏲ or energy in the 🌎. Efficiency!

The person who can do without the most toys wins -when HE or SHE DIES! The thing is, 🤔 this doesn’t help the economic wheel any. For some men, certainly the people at the top of the food chain, it’s all about money!

When people step forward and talk about how the holocaust never happened, a tithe tidal wave of anger surfaces. How do you think GOD feels when we question the sacrifice he and his son and his holy mother gave mother gave for us?

GOD HAS FEELINGS TOO!

How about doing something for GOD just to do something for GOD! WE OWE HIM SO MUCH! During the holidays my family would talk about doing for GOD so we could receive from GOD! I’ve always had a problem with this -Man’s ideas are often SECOND-RATE!

Some Atheists act more like Christians and some Christians act more like Atheist –EXPLAIN THAT TO ME! GOD -WHAT ELSE!!!!! Just because you don’t believe in something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist and it doesn’t mean it isn’t having an impact on you and your life! There’s stuff that exists halfway around the world that we never see but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist right?

Being clean and sober increases possibilities not decreases possibilities.Whatever direction we choose to move in, some doors open, while others close! Opportunity is all around us. We miss them all the time but the ones were aware of are the ones that affect us most emotionally. Why worry about the opportunity you missed when you’ve already missed another 99 at the same time. Besides, there’ll always be more opportunity, GOD wove that into the fabric of time and space

.”.. Probably more than I realize -it’s always that way” re: people throughout my life who truly cared

A MESSAGE OF HOPE!

There are more ways to do things wrong than they are to do them right but I guess it depends on the outcome you’re looking for. benign malicious ignorant indifferent –ONLY ONE IS GOOD! -is it any wonder the world “is” and “is in” the condition it is in

Being a giver rather than a taker and…turning the other cheek -are the two best ways I know of to let man know our benign intentions. OH, AND A 😃 SMILE!

As an Alcoholic, Alcohol is not my friend -and never was. It may have been my solution [for a time], but never my friend! Think about everything alcohol and drugs took away from you and get angry at it-just don’t turn it into a resentment! If something or somebody did to me and my family would I did to them -I would kill them! And yet, that’s exactly what I did, that’s exactly what drugs and alcohol did! You should hate this disease -I do!

For those of you in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous who have a problem with the term addict, remember the Doctor Silkworth himself used the term “liquor addicts”. Remember, we’re here for the truth, not to allow our fears or our ego to interfere in that vein!

Real–life situations more often than not Spurs these principles in these writings -but it became too tiresome/burdensome trying to include them in every entry!

Too much is sometimes worse than too little! People get so angry with God but remember God never gives us more than we can handle or that which might adversely affect our relationship, HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH US! remember, even the most sacred of things to us are not as important as GOD’S relationship with us! So don’t get angry @ GOD or believe HE is not listening, or doesn’t care -when HE doesn’t fulfill wven our most dire, or sincere wishes.

The Secret to women is not to think about it too much.

GOD’S children are bad a** when they’re not being bad!

From 29 years ago GOD is the engine and I am the starter.

To start down and to be able to succeed all the way to the top, to the very pinnacle of what is important and requires the greatest of mastery… Relationships, love! At least for this individual, that last HURDLE… It’s the most evasive, elusive thing of all! 58 years old and 32 years and 9 or 10 months into recovery, and I still haven’t been able to master them!

People who try to make a difference for the better in life, for the better with regard to those around them, who seemed to get little or no where with their surroundings… trust me, anytime you make the effort you are affecting someone in a positive way. You may not see it in the moment when you’re there in front of them, but someone somewhere is being touched by your effort because an effort by one human-being NEVER fails to have an impact on the human-heart and spirit of another human-being! 🙏🏻

The Secret we’re all looking for is inside here 💜🙏🏻 not around us.

I have a problem with people who are Inconsistent. Irresponsible. Inconsiderate.

I don’t tell you there’s something you never get over. They don’t tell you there’s some things you should never get old. They just keep taking your money.

The less I think about the world the more my BATTERIES seems to strengthen.

I tried letting people know everything about me and that didn’t go over so well.

We lve in a country where we are increasingly encouraged to depend on men. Men rather than GOD!

Everybody’s having to contribute [PAY] to account for the debacle that started from the beginning! It appears that in my case my contribution to the debacle in terms of payment comes in the form of emotional pain rather than physical pain. Emotional pain rather than emotional and physical pain. It sometimes gets the notion that God has up to give me a healthy body and to simply be anticipate allow me to suffer emotionally.

Most women don’t want what I have to offer. And I apparently don’t want what they have to offer. But then you look at what women go for in this country, you see the broken hearts and the unhappiness and the discontentedness… And you wonder what it’s all about? A lot of women fall for the old “1st impression trick”. They go after the same guy over and over and over. If you’re gonna go after a guy 1st you better make sure he has the ability or the willingness for a long term relationship. I see you got a dig in from the start and people don’t want to do that because they don’t want to ruin the fantasy -idiots who blame the other person… I really don’t like the attitude people have in this country when it comes to selecting a partner. It’s immature and selfish. Women pick the same guy over and over with the same flaws.

It started noticing a pattern where I was going to school. Women would always ask me what do I do what do I do within the 1st minute. One time I decided to respond by saying I’m “independently poor”. And you know what that girl did, She turned round and walked off. Just what I thought… selfish people. When they’re not asking you what you do for a living -they’re telling you they got a boyfriend or a husband or a girlfriend nowadays. And that’s the town I live in. Shallow little place.

The more you can suffer without being rewarded down here for your good works, the more you will receive in Heaven. But how much can you do without down here-and continue giving? I’m having a h*** of a time with this.

I say I have everything except for the most important thing in my life. But GOD in HIS infinite wisdom knows that I value my good health and a comfortable place to live and food on the table and even those few extras that offset my general attitude that life really isn’t worth living based on a lack of companionship or a sense of value as an individual in my community.

Life is so precious it is and GOD so wise, that we should only allow HIM to take it. Makes perfect sense. But how many of us… We get so angry of GOD for taking our children prematurely, and yet we never stop to think or trust in GOD’S wisdom in doing so. Or perhaps it wasn’t GOD’S doing at all if we feel we’ve been devout towards HIM. If we even believe in HIM [still].

When I was in sobriety early on I wanted to do GOD’S job and have HIM do mine. STILL DO! GOD’S job is far more interesting and fun. RRRRRRRIGHT!!!!!

Pay for example on your storage among the head, your rent is well on your apartment… It’s a one time sacrifice that will protect you every time you’re late a few days from getting a late fee. Sighs -but most people….

I know people who no matter how much money they make live check to check. They just can’t hold on to it. They’re so empty they have to keep chasing chasing chasing…

You really gotta have a screwed up society paying 2 billion dollars for something they’ll never win. Giving the government they loathed half on top of the taxes they already pay. That just goes to show you how empty the society has become. Diluted. People pain for water that comes fresh out of their tap has gotta tell you something. People paying a company to take their payment [instead of the company feeling privileged…] has got to tell you something. And as far as this recession we’re in goes… Companies will continue taking as much money or the maxim amount of money people are willing to pay. That for talking food shelter and clothing that’s one thing. But it appears we live in a society that needs the unneedables. There’s no excuse for that. We have become so empty that seems to be the indication. But the people who are doing this among the masses are forcing people who cannot afford to play this game to pay the same prices. As long as a certain number of people are willing to succumb to these corporate America greedy mothers, corporate America can afford to leave the prices where they’re at. If it weren’t for that, corporate America would have to cave in to the lesser affluent in our society. It’s the above half who are keeping the prices where they’re at -foolishly. People who care nothing about the rest of society, only getting what they want. You think all this is by accident? I’d like to see the whole f****** thing cave in personally because this is wrong. It’s wrong for the people on the top it’s wrong for the people on the bottom and it’s wrong for the people orchestrating it.

Notes dream don’t give up

When you ask a woman out and she says no do you give up or do you move on to the next one? Same thing and I’ll call it synonymous with regard to relapse or asking for a sponsor that doesn’t work out. We’re fierce in some areas and meek in others.

*****I used to tell people at the hospital if it was your child who was sick would you be sitting there looking lax A-day’s ago while listening in on this group? I also used to tell him are you any less important than your children? There was a movie out called the substitute where the guy asked the students, if been in games and drinking and drugging is so great then why don’t you tell your children to get involved and do them? I used to ask the people up at the hospital are you any less important than your children? You don’t have to take notes in the nay meeting but it’s not forbidden either.

What dream are we living in this country? Having a lot of opportunity but being separated from each other?

POWER IS ENERGY HARNESSED IN ORDER TO… The funny thing is that energy is everywhere in the universe. SO why are so many of us powerless seemingly?

There’s 2 kinds of power that affect others: The kind where we overpower and impose on others [the kind I used to use]; The kind where you basically devote all your energy and time and effort to yourself building a world… Which by default renders others feeling basically unimportant [this is the one my brother employs]. Now from a societal and even a legal standpoint one is considered acceptable while the other is considered unacceptable. But is one any less damaging than the other?

There are a lot of laws in this country that don’t render Justice. There are a lot of lack of laws that don’t render Justice. We don’t seem to be too hip on laws regarding immoral conduct. Apparently it’s not illegal for a man or a woman to cheat on their partner. It’s not illegal for 2 people in a committed relationship to cheat on each other. And yet we see considerable instances of retaliation which result in illegal acts but we do nothing about the causal factors in these. Some laws in this country today go with GOD’S plan and others do not. Should we obey the ones that do not simply because of a majority vote? What happens when the majority wins and is wrong? They say we have more laws in this country than any other country by 2 or 3 fold. Is that freedom? Do you get the impression we’re losing our freedom in this country? It would certainly appear that way. And what are we doing about it -NOTHING!

TRUE POWER some would say is doing [to them] what you’re doing before their very eyes and they’re doing nothing about it. The signs are there. And we just continue going to work, buying things, screwing, going to the movies… LIKE 🐄 🐄 Like I said, if there were a 100 million Richards, this would be put to a stop! You probably need about a 3rd of a society to have any kind of significant impact on a head on assault. You don’t need a 3rd to topple a regime. Have you honestly asked yourself what this country is becoming? Basic-Organisms don’t care what’s going on around them outside of having their basic comfort. Well we human beings better lose that mentality.

When you have money or good credit people want to know you when you don’t… Opportunistic b*******

It used to be in this country for most people that a job/opportunity… was just something you did so that you could live other wife and enjoy. Now it’s become a lifestyle all it’s own. Just like technology. Once discovering new things became tied in with making money… Now everybody wants to discover new things… And since the climate of fear has increased, now everybody wants to discover new things to have an advantage -so they can feel safer. We’re just trying to rip the cover off mother nature in the universe.

We want it all in this country, we want the looker, we want the charismatic one, we want the low maintenance one… Like a spoiled child who can’t see beyond their own pleasures and their own fears. PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY…

If nobody gives a d*** about your good qualities why should they give a d*** about your bad ones?

I care about as much about what you think as you care about as much about what I think.

The world isn’t just f***** u*; it’s f****** up good people.

Everything serves a purpose -but can everything be used?

Turning down a smaller reward or prize or award with the intention of getting a bigger one is not meritorious at all.

Unfortunately when it comes to values, people basically fit on the bell curve as with anything else. We have the best of the best, we have the worst of the worst, and unfortunately for most of us, the middle of the road. The vast majority of human beings unfortunately have values and don’t have values. Why do you think our world is the way it is. Do you really think that the majority of the world’s troubles stem from the worst of the worst? A handful of people in comparison to a world full of people who are compromised to say the least! It’s the people in the middle, people like you and me, who are responsible for the majority of the worlds compromised quality.

The moment we start trading freedom for safety -they’ve got us! All they have to do is keep the threats coming. And that’s not hard to do. We can never let the guard down with satan nor with our fellow man. Nor can we ever give an inch! And in this country we’ve already given a yard, maybe 2! 😔 I’m telling you man -people in this country no longer know what they’re doing. The policy of these United States is we don’t negotiate with terrorists -even if they happen to exist within our own government!

How close do you think you could come to doing GOD’S job?

Those people you see on TV, some of those people whose characters you admire the most! The real person under the mask has problems just like you and me. And a fair number of them have worst problems mentally and behaviorally then you are I. So the next time you look at 1 of those people and you think their gods are goddesses… You start thinking you’re a piece of s*** in comparison… Trust me you or I are not!

Being productive masks a lot of issues. Alot of people try to make out that their work is who theyI guess I’m not very healthy and that means that I’m probably wouldn’t do very well in a relationship right now and God knows that are and if they do a great job at their work… Nah!

You have a problem. And then you start thinking about that problem too much to the point where it starts burrowing inside of you… Then you have a bigger problem.

I guess I’m not very healthy and that means that I’m probably wouldn’t do very well in a relationship right now and God knows that. Until I start putting God first, until I have more of God in Me Than Me… THAN THE 🌎… or you could look at it from the standpoint of performance. as you get worn down and twisted from the continual thinking and internalizing of the problem, your performance level begins to taper off as does your reasoning, YOUR VERY SANITY IN FACT!

The less I think about the world the more my internal battery begins to rejuvenate.

All these movies and new technologies and philosophies and opinions distort man’s vision of reality ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! Now staying in the realm of human realities… Consciousnesses…

The longer one waits to ask GOD’S forgiveness…

Man’s increasing ability to falsify and duplicate and replicate and imitate and manipulate digitally… is troubling!

We were made to be open not closed, but the world we live in.. It creates a lot of sickness in us having to close ourselves up and close ourselves off.

Spirrtual constipation

The hobby most people have helped him to unwind and relax. My writing is the opposite.

When I don’t think about the world it’s when I’m most free. That is rare.

If ignorance is bliss – Then what is heightened-awareness?

A lot of people are not getting their natural needs met from each other in this country. Unfortunately for me, people are the most important element.

When you have not resolved the trespasses of your past against other human beings should constantly on the lookout for being harmed or taken in.

If you don’t want to do something you don’t have to lie to yourself in order not to do it –just don’t do it.

I’m either hyperaware or hypersensitive -or both.

*****Drugs and alcohol are not on the nutritional Pyramid. DRUGS and ALCOHOL on an increasing interval and in an increasing amount are not good for the body. This is how people overdose, the body can only take so much. 45 minute intervals with where I was at towards the end. Due to a lack of proper sleep and proper nutrition in the body the spirit began too weaken at an increasing rate. AT AN ALARMING RATE!

*****See any 50 year old NFL football players? Even if you took someone who never took the field before who was healthy 50 years old wouldn’t work in most cases. Yes we know, most 50 year old NFL football players are already pretty badly damaged by this age. AGE is also a factor in drinking and drugging. JAN MICHAEL VINCENT!

I made a comment about myself one time and a person responded, “SO YOU’RE SPECIAL”. My response to them was “WELL AREN’T YOU”. You see people’s attitudes towards themselves? And worse yet, how it carries out towards other people. This person didn’t see themselves especially and therefore who am I to think I am – if that was even the case for me. I’m really made a comment, I’m not sure the thought of being special ever even entered my mind.

I’ve come to realize having been on both sides of it, both sides of it within myself I mean, selfishness is an ugly corroding thread -one of the ugliest and most corroding of human qualities.

*****We found a way to CHEAT AT LIFE as Alcoholic/Addicts. It can be very difficult to go back to living life legitimately “ON LIFES TERMS”. My X-wifes son, 1000s of dollars a day selling drugs. Then he went to working 9-5. 2 very different world’s. But there is also another difference besides hard work, and the day-to-day struggle of living an honest life –IT’S HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES, AND HOW WE DON’T [how we no longer] FEEL ABOUT OUR SELVES AT THE END OF EACH DAY. Isn’t how we FEEL really what it was all about anyways? Whether cutting corners or living life legitimately?

TAMMY –the bitch about AA is having to work a program in a world that doesn’t have one.

Don’t sit around and ponder on the last person who hurt you too much -TRUST ME, THERE’S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!

JESUS didn’t mind helping people who didn’t appreciate HIM until much later.

I could embarrass a woman who humiliated me -but GOD said “don’t hurt her”. Besides humility comes from the ego and that’s on me, not them. Now hurt is a different matter entirely. HURT is a perfectly natural and right response to someone hurting you. But even so, we [MUST] always have to try and act in accordance with the laws of the universe and hence -the laws of GOD! That is to say, we always strive to make the Universe, the world a better place, not a lesser place!

For every situation or scenario there’s probably a 1000 different writings that could be wrote. I get 2 or 3 here and there.

What about people who don’t want or appreciate our help? What about people we can help in spite of this? It is so important that we use GOD’S intuition to light the way. It is so important that we divorce ourselves from self, from fear, from ego… The things that make the world a lesser place by interfering with this crucial link between one another, between GOD and man!

*****I used to tell people up at the hospital where I did the groups several years ago, “Recovery is an “ACT OF LOVE” of love you give yourself” Once we begin to realize what drinking and drugging are doing to us, and we [choose] to] continue down that path, it becomes an “ACT OF HATE”. Self-hatred!

Sometimes doing for others and giving to others is not enough.

Don’t live “the dream”, live “your dream”! Trust me it’s gotta be better than the one currently going on in this country! Dream-turned-nightmare!

Sometimes people who have all the right stuff, who have been given all the right gifts, and throw them away or ruin them through self destruction, still end up getting the most important things in life those gifts were intended to reap them to begin with. Now I can’t say that’s the case with all of us but…

A person can go without having their needs met relatively comfortably through vigorous prayer and meditation which assist the individual in more or less leaving their body. But a person going without having their needs met who is very much in their body will suffer tremendously, and in many instances end up taking drastic measures to alleviate or substitute by whatever means available to them in many instances.

Thank GOD we live in a country that affords us the freedom to choose to…. However, some people don’t do too well with [in a country that affords them] too much freedom!

*****AA is not for people who need it, not for people who want it, it’s for people who do it!

When I’m out on a date with a woman for the first time I sometimes tell them: Don’t do anything you don’t want to do, and; if I observe them to be too trusting with me at first, I tell them to be cautious, not all men are to be trusted!

Alcoholics are notorious loners. So many of us never form deep relationships we can discover that other people are not Saints either = THE CURE FOR “TERMINAL UNIQUENESS “[I’M THE WORST PIECE OF SHIT IN THE WORLD]!

I have a problem, an encounter, an experience that effects me deeply -> I don’t know what to do about it or, I don’t want to [issues with being unworthy], so as I have done so many times before, I make things worse rather than better [outwardly? Inwardly?].

People don’t want to hear from christians in the meetings of alcohol it’s an honor missing yet they want there ideas about religion and spirituality should be respected. It’s prejudice and reverse or the ultimate hypocrisy! Double standard?

If you expect it it may or may not hurt any less, but at least you won’t get caught off guard.

The closer we draw two things that don’t matter the further away we draw from the things that do.

Imagine all the things that would come to mind if I actually went out and got involved in life rather than spending the majority of it in my apartment. 21-22 hours a day

You make too many things matter that don’t, and it starts affecting your ability, your attitude, your prrception/thinking with regard to the things that do matter.

LOVE ALWAYS SEEKS TO GIVE! It’s also the best way to ensure we neither hurt nor take advantage of others. Whenever money and material things are at stake and we have a stake in them above our fellows, we always run the risk of hurting/harming or taking advantage of others.

Neil said many years ago the a program will hurt you but it won’t harm you.

*****The 1st miracle in Alcoholics Anonymous is making it here alive. The 2nd is that merciless obsession that we couldn’t shake no matter what we tried -being removed!

No matter how bad a shape a tooth is in, GOD can hold its integrity until he decides otherwise.

***** If you’re going to be sure recovery on how you feel.. It’s just about doing the right thing and being grateful for what GOD gives us In that moment –or a time of HIS own choosing.

GOD knows what each of us needs -and how much works to our advantage and against us, and our relationship with HIM.

In recovery we learned to be grateful for our teaspoon of what GOD gives us from a daily basis. In our addiction it was a teaspoon today, a tablespoon tomorrow, a cup the day after, and a bucket the day after that…

As the story goes, or the logic I suppose, If you can get along with people who are hard to get along with -you can get along with people who are easy to get along with. BUT NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Get the woman while she’s impressed with you and before she loses respect for you.

If you do your research on a woman and you know things that are dear to you and then you can bring them up in passonce you make her acquaintance she will fall in love with you. I think I saw that in the movie.

You can even set up situations where a woman can stand in awe of you-REHEARSED, STAGED… Like in the movie “Enough”.

Are things any harder now than they were a 150 years ago? For instance breaking into a safe?

Is it harder now to have an original idea than it was a 100 years ago or easier?

If you look at the Western days, man could roam around just about anywhere as a criminal and not be caught or pursued And now? If you know what you’re doing is it any harder now than it was then to evade………………………..?

Things are easy when you know what you’re doing -and nearimpossible when you don’t..

*****I remember early on hating the taste of alcohol. Then came the period where I loved it. And along with it the period of perfect euphoria after consuming it. A window was very brief for me. And then after that, when I was hooked, it became highly problematic. I couldn’t remember the 2nd one and I asked God to please have mercy and lowen behold a few minutes later it came to me again. Right around this time I was 19 years old living in the barracks at Fort Bragg. I remember waking up on Sunday morning and seeing a bottle of Jim Beam on the desk with about a 1/2 an inch of Jim Beam left in it and a cigarette butt at the bottom and wondering if I should drink it or not. The beginning of the end?

*****For a time alcohol may have been my solution but it was never my friend. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

***** I love Orange juice, but I never drank a case of it. ROY C.

*****When you have your glass of Orange juice in the morning with breakfast are you staring at the clock at work waiting for the 10 o’clock break to come so you can go out to the car and drink some more?

*****Alcoholism is like 2 bullies, you take one away and the other 1 pales. If you take away the obsession, then the ability stop drinking once you is all there is. If you take away the inability to stop once you start but have the obsession…

***** I’ve heard some terribly demeaning things said about myself in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and I’ve heard some awesomely flattering things said about me in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

As soon as you feel inclined or inspired by the Almighty himself to jump down on your knees and good thanks -DON’T HESITATE! GOD DESERVES OUR VERY BEST!!!!! HE GIVES US HIS EVERY TIME!!!!! 🙏🏻

Is there anything you can do that no one else can do?

To be the best in the world that anything…

Ever have an original thought?

Am I a coward? It depends on the mood I’m in.

What you focus on you give power to-does that include GOD?

Apparently people “out” in the world are not the only ones affected by this “JECKYL and HYDE” syndrome!

People out in the world nowadays either have little time to communicate, don’t care to communicate, are no longer aware of the vital need as human-beings to communicate, or simply don’t know how. In any case, we are weaker for it as a country, as a species. 😔

DALE S. “You know what your problem is -you know too much”. “There is no one else like Richard”. And a third thing stated in a meeting bout a year-and-a-half ago “There is a lot of wisdom in these rooms if I’m willing to open up and pay attention” [and he turned to his right and looked at me as he finished this sentence]. 🤔🤷‍♂️ NOVEMBER 2 2022 PASSED ON -52 years 2 months sober 😔

DENNIS in Wheeling [NYC PSYCHIATRIST] 2015. WALKED UP TO ME AFTER MEETING AND SAYS “In all my 30-some years coming to AA-MEETINGS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD WHAT YOU SPOKE BEFORE”.

Book about the world, this country and how we were supposed to adopt a higher approach to life [assimilate into a higher system than the one currently operating under] -but the masses couldn’t get on board with it so…. what we have is what we see now? The one’s willing stepping in and taking the wheel?

Life as it is in this country -many, many people are struggling to handle sober. The demands to keep it afloat or to keep people who insist on excess in the lifestyle in which they are accustomed… What do you think life would be like for the average citizen if there were no more demands placed upon them for excess? They’re on personal brain-washing. And being exploited by others who have been brainwashed?

Spiritual principles do not merely [only] take into account the weak, the poor, the exploited –THE VICTIM! The beauty of them, unlike so many other principles is that ther are ALL-ENCOMPASSING!

90% of people in this country drink or do drugs [prescription included]. What does that tell ya?

Be open to anything and everything -EXCEPT EVIL!

Even if you’re on prescription drugs which are prescribed by a physician, you are not giving a 100% to your 12 step program, then you are using legally.

How can one person say a person is great and another person say they’re a jerk? Well the answer to that riddle is that people are selective. You see human beings have the unfortunate ability to be nice to one person and an a****** to another. Depending on what they’re after I suppose. Or, depending on their history and their mental and emotional framework or makeup. Their ability or inability to have resolved past issues or experiences. It took me a few years in recovery to figure this one out. Additionally, I could never figure out how so many people loved living in the town I live in which I loathed so much. Bottom line-it depends on what your needs and what you are looking for in your community as well as what you represent and what you have others desire or need. A pretty woman for example is always in demand. And people will go to many, and different lengths to sate themselves in this regard! The guy driving to work says sees a fat, unattractive woman on the side of the road with a flat tire and drives past. The same man a week later sees a slim attractive blonde woman on the side of the road with a flat tire and pulls over to assist her. Do you think this man so kind and wonderful after all? And of course the sad flip side of this whole thing is that some women don’t really cair about the 2 sides of this man as long as they get the side that appeals to their own personal advantage [EGO]! That’s people for you!. Like I’ve often stated, men and women may be different but they’re both cut from the same cloth. Just opposite sides of the cloth in some instances -atleast to their way of thinking.

I have multi dimensions to me. I could hit it off with any number of personalities but at the same time turn them off. 🤷‍♂️😔 Both seem fairly consistent.

In the movie Casino Royale with Daniel Craig, towards the end it talks about why people when to such extremes to develop certain types of torture what all you have to do is go after a man’s most vulnerable body part -his testicles. If this is in fact the case, then why was this simple fact overlooked? Could it be that these mand we’re tainted by their own vulnerability? Perhaps it was considered something of a hallowed ground. A “don’t touch zone”. How interesting.

It’s amazing to me how we [the majority of us?] human-beings, essentially being Moody, Emotional types, are startled by/when another demonstrates moody-emotionalism! Unbelievable -been livin’ under a 🪨???? What I’m trying to say is it’s amazing how -some people are startled by other people.

I’m not like 99% of the men -and 99% of the women have no interest in me. Now isn’t that interesting 🤔

My guess is GOD will come when the Earth can no longer sustain us is one thought. Overpopulation, depleting resources, abuse… We will become so frithat 99% of the world will turn to GOD. This internal have a rippling effect across man’s history and the majority will be saved? After all, how can satan have a better plan than GOD?

The 2 greatest… Satan ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist and the Anti-christ not knowing he is the Anti-christ until the very end.

People who are of the mindset that conspiracy theories don’t exiss -live a life of semi-bliss.

I may not know what makes relationships last -but I know what makes them end.

Some people are so close to [understanding] humanity they can’t touch them. They don’t dare!

Some people cannot connect with humanity because they understand it all-too-little. Some people will not connect with humanity because they understand it all-too-well.

There’s aline from the movie Hard Times where a woman asks Charles Bronson if he ever gets afraid. His cold, steely response, “I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT [too much?]”. For all of us with regard to certain situations/topics, sometimes that’s best.

Many women need an opening with a man. Some men are very good at not providing one.

What feeling are you giving up [throwing away] for the feeling you are pursuing?

Wherever we move to -we are [systematically?] aligning ourselves for certain opportunities, while disallowing ourselves from others. Like moving a satellite dish.

Some people develop interest in certain areas or aspects or phenomenon in life due to and from their level of intellect. Others from their level of emotional or spiritual depths. I’m probably the world’s biggest hypocrite given my scope of awareness [understanding of things human?] and my dismal ability [willingness perhaps more accurately put] regarding their application. Simply terrible, frightening [had to look up spelling]. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, I’M #1 AT SOMETHING. 😔

TWO GENIUSES 🤔

I haven’t seen a lot of the world but I’ve seen a lot in people. The world is right in front of us no matter where we have or have not been? All we need to see is all around us?

In every angle or degree -around us there is a photo worthy of greatness. It’s simply a matter of capturing “IT” [capturing “IT’S”…].

The obstacles we experience down here DO NOT EXIST in Heaven. Yippeee!!!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

If ones level of experience turned into awareness of life is NOT matched or surpassed by one’s level of LOVE, UNDERSTANDING [EMPATHY], COMPASSION… Shakes his head -ME?????

… To see one part of a person’s body as equally significant to every other… Except perhaps the mind, ❤, and soul?

There are some wonderful human beings out there. Some started down and ascended. Some started up and ascended. Some started down and ascended -but carry the experience of both with them in present.

There’s just too much going on in this country. Too much frivolity. Too much distraction from the things we really need to be concentrating on.

The thing that almost always kills relationships is a discrepancy in interesting & caring.

The deeper we go inside of a human being the more alike we are or the more different we are?

If you put the heart of a black person a Chinese person an Indian person a white person and a latin person on a table -can you tell the difference?

One time a guy in my company [army] told me that blacks look different and smell different… I’m not sure I knew what to say or perhaps I said they are people too -I don’t remember. Perhaps I just listened. I’ll just say this 40 years later; Does their heart and their soul look and smell different?

I don’t know too many people who are limited or compromised emotionally for whatever reason, whether by choice or by circumstance, who can deal with an emotional situation or a situation that is personal to them without at some point getting emotional. Now I know men who are compromised who can go through these thanks for extended periods and not have their emotions get involved. But I’m not one of those people. I’m very sensitive and connected.

You add a circumstance or a structure that enflames or encourages mankind’s selfish, frightened nature, and most cannot, or will not resist the direction this combination takes them in. I believe that’s what we see going on in this country right now. The things man gravitates to within itself are easily encouraged while the things he does not gravitate to with difficulty are encouraged. That’s why satan has such an easy time of it and God has such a hard time of it.

The way the game is played is quite simple, it’s more aptly called “fit in with us”. If you want to be accepted into life don’t go to counseling to become a healthier person. Not in most circles in America anyways.

*****Immaturity is a classic sign in alcoholics and addicts. Considering 90% of people in this country drink or do drugs or our own prescription medication, there is a very large number of immature adults, undeveloped adults running around in this country. Inappropriate level of fear is a sign of an adult who is under developed. We have a lot of people in the community I live in who demonstrate the fear of a child or a teenager rather than the confidence of an adult. SADD!!!!

What is the definition of a hobby versus a job? Or work versus play?

In modern day America people just seem to kind of come and then they go and then they come and they go and if they decide you’re not on their level or their way of thinking, than they go and they don’t return. Modern day America. Why should we put up with anything we live in the greatest country in the world. Why would we want to be brought down if we’re the greatest country in the world, and brought down by people around us? That’s there thinking. Go to a country where people need each other and observe their attitude with regard to their differences between one another.

When people no longer have time to properly clean their homes and they have to rely on plugins and other things like that in order to deal with the smells… don’t you think there’s something wrong with this picture?

In some countries of people caring, person wanting to help calm a beautiful spear a beautiful spirit alone is enough – But not in this country. Naturally there are people in this country that this doesn’t apply to.. But how many of us can say that truthfully? And with a straight face lol There’s an order to things in this country, every country I suppose calm with regard to selecting partners and friends and acquaintances in this social order. I mean a hierarchy. For example a real good looking guy who’s strange.. Probably isn’t going to cut it because strange trump’s good looking with most people. Is the idea? So what do you suppose is the top one? Procreation? Maybe in the short-term lol I’m guessing it’s connecting.

Isn’t an interesting how the more disconnected we are becoming in this country the more we spend and buy and the more we drink and drug! Is very interesting!

Don’t expect healthy behaviors and attitudes out of unhealthy people.

If everyone would simply be kind and try and help one another, there would be no more problem! But most of us in these United States… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

WE DON’T LIKE A PERSON BECAUSE OF ONE, MAYBE TWO QUALITIES OUT OF 10, 20, 30… [fair-outstanding qualities?] RIDICULES!!!!!

It took a lot of work to become an alcoholic and to become sick and separated from God.

You’re setting your sights too low!

There are a lot of very special people out there in the world who struggle to connect. Or should I say the world struggles to connect with them. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Even down-and-out people or disturbed people are able to connect provided they have that crucial ingredient.

Correlations between the masses in America and addicts and alcoholics today. A drug addict and dealer relationship. Corporate America and the consumer relationship. A mindset of powerlessness andA mindset of powerlessness and meeting one’s needs artificially rather than naturally! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Is it really true that the Angels ENVY US?

Many of the saints were no saints in every regard. They were quite imperfect in some cases. So despair not too deeply.

For some -ATTENTION IS THE DRUG OF CHOICE!

What do you think happens in a room full of people with pumped up egos -corporate America.

What are the 2 most important things to people? Connecting and Surviving. People get into relationships for both of those reasons all the time. But it compromised one for the other.

People think mistrusting is basically a win situation. They never stop to think about how much they’re losing. People can never see what they’re losing if they don’t see what they’re losing. The weather they see it or not they’re losing it. But self centered people who only go by how they feel don’t really care if they can’t see it. They don’t even want to hear it. They just want to stay protected in their own little world. They sense that something isn’t right but they don’t wanna open up that shell and look inside because because the other alternative is to take risk. I’ve met a lot of people who aren’t into taking risks and I can’t relate to that. Actually I’m a 50/50 kind of guy.

How can you expect to have a beautiful, loving relationship when you loathe those around you who do?

We live in a world full of people who would choose to allow others do have power over then. That’s what many people in power -the way they want it. What’s the point of having power if it holds no sway? But people who are right intentioned don’t want to sway people they want to help them

Power desires and audience with power. As for the rest of us -Pffff

Some people have everything – But everything isn’t what matters to them, only what they want matters.

It’s when they trick you into thinking you have nothing so you can throw away everything. They trick you into throwing away things that can never be taken away -only thrown away! Only given away! That’s how satan works.

Sometimes the world is what we experience and sometimes it isn’t. Some people honestly believe the world is a good place and not the throne of the prince of darkness.

If you want to give your children the best possible chance -then set the right example not the wrong one. You can’t pour s*** into a 10 pound sack and expect goal to come out of it.

The world brings down and defeats people everyday. But not because it’s strong but because we are weak. Those of us who have everything are constantly being prodded by satan to believe we have nothing so we can in turn give it away. That’s my story! GOD has granted me everything and I continue to fall for satan’s ploys – Giving or throwing away everything God has ever granted unto me. Failing to acknowledge in gratitude. Failing to recognize time-and-again…

We were never nothing but satan continues to drive that spike in our soul! Agitating our egos beyond beyond remission.

The most power hungry are the most frightened and the ones who wish to be raised the higbest believe themselves to be the lowest. And those who wish to place themselves as the lowest what do they believe? Those who wish to be last what do they believe?

Why do we need soldiers? Why do we need to sacrifice the lives of the men in this country when we have a nuclear Arsenal And the initial idea of the nuclear Arsenal so that our men wouldn’t have to go to war and die? Isn’t that why we used it in Japan to save the lives of our soldiers?

In wanting just one, we end up being open to a 1000 or a million because we can never really get what we want; Or who we want.

When it comes to women and people in general, I pretty much do things straightforward without any stylized rituals women may be a custom too. You know, the usual trying to be impressed bullshit that is customary in this country so often [or among the animal-world for that matter]. However I understand there are some women who are strictly turned off by this sort of thing and just want somebody very much straightforward and real. But where they are in the area I live in -I have no idea.

JESUS was forced to do some things according to man’s way of thinking and doing in order to reach them. In the… if we veer too far out there, we end up alone because man is I creature who for the most part operates within his own understanding –NOT SOMEBODY ELSES! NARROW CREATURES!

If angels are in fact jealous of us; then it’s clear that many a man lacks an understanding of his own true good-fortune or GOOD-GRACES BESTOWED UPON HIMSELF AND WITHIN HIMSELF BY “THE ALMIGHTY” HIMSELF!

Yesterday I heard G.R.A.C.E. GOD’S REWARD @ CHRIST’S EXPENSE!

I have to listen to people in AA meetings talk about non-Christian God’s. But when I talk about my Christian GOD, they get ancy and judgemental and defensive. Don’t we both have the same rights? Double-standard! Every time you bring up a Christian God people think you’re trying to evangelize them.

Maybe women were a lot more naive when I was younger. I mean women in my age group. But how much more naive are women in my age group now? Or simply tainted?

A lot of people are ignorant of the fact that their dog is outside in the cold freezing and miserable. Or indifferent!

Man was created by God to learn and to grow with every experience. But how many of us in this country do arrogance or relax biggins were a lack of perceived need or virtue managed to Fort this and very key aspect of our Creator’s design?

Is a person a predator if they’re doing so out of need, basic need?

If a person can’t think of something meaningful to do in this life, on this ravaged planet…

I suppose there’s nothing wrong with going through life being open; in fact we could use more of it. But to go through life in this world open means suffering. And not many people are open to that.

What do I expect from a person who pretends they have a lot to offer and they care? I expect for them to offer a lot and care. That didn’t work out with Ashley!

I know I need to work to have food. I know I need to work to put a roof over her head. But what about to be loved? Must we work for that as well? It appears, at least in this country that that is not a given either. Love is like money. Some people have more than their fair share and others seemingly have little or none at all. That is a travity. F*** money. But so far as love goes… Looks down and shakes his head In a certain way people don’t treat one or the other any different. A commodity! A resource. Although you can print it all day long, money is a finite resource. Where money is limited, [God] love is unlimited. Where money is afraid of risk love shines in the face of risk. Love is an infinite resource! Love is brought into the world through us from GOD. If there is a finightness to love -it is in us not in GOD.

Every person should have at least one person willing to go to any length for them. Ana has that in me! But who do I have? GOD? God will do anything for me -but with stipulations. Time. Principles. These

GOD will do for me what I cannot do for myself but HE will not do for me what I can do for myself. I heard that in a meeting the last year. 1st time anyone besides myself in 30 years has ever said it.

*****The Program of Alcoholics Anonymous is not for people who want it, it’s not for people who need, it’s for people who do it.

*****Find the heart of the topic when brought up in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

The less the stock of love goes up the more the stock of money goes up – The more the stock of material things goes up. The more the stock of love goes up – The less the stock of money and material things goes up. If we lived and loved on this 🌎 the way, and to the degree GOD intended, there would be no need for money or material things. Certain people are aware of this! This would not only put them out of business, but render their thinking obsolete or useless or powerless! SOME PEOPLE ARE SO SICK, [AND TO ADD TO THIS] THEY WANT THE WORLD TO CONFORM TO THEIR TWISTED APPROACH TO LIFE! THEY WANT THEIR WAY OF APPROACHING LIFE TO BE AS VIRAL AND ALIVE AND AND EN VOGUE AND NECESSARY AND UNTHREATENED AS POSSIBLE [LEX LUTHOR]! They refuse to yield to a higher way of life!!!!!!! To them this is the highest form of life -with them at the top of the heap! BOLLUX!!!!!

“Survival of the fittest” -Darwin. The only problem with this theory is that GOD gave man 2 choices. Allow the strong to thrive and the weak to fall by the wayside. Or to help your brother, who is weak and has fallen, along the way. The survival approach vs… But one could argue that we are stronger as a species and a race by helping the weak also. Because we are not just stronger physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually via through the latter choice. You can argue that to allow the strong to thrive and the weak to die off that there is a benefit. The only problem is you cannot dismiss the fact that we have The Choice and ability to not leave anyone behind, to not shoot our wounded. I think you will find through research that not leaving others behind come not shooting our wounded, the benefits outweigh those of the alternative. In a world created by a “GOD OF LOVE” -why wouldn’t they! Research indicates that Research indicates that Darwin’s book on evolution was either misinterpreted or twisted to serve someone else’s agenda. It points out and many or a number of areas where nature helps its weak. Atleast that’s what I was told. The truth is always right there -as long as man is willing to Accept and bring it into the world -rather than put a damper on it due to his own fear and ego and selfishness. Man is the gatekeeper -fortunately and unfortunately. Just as the alcoholic is the gatekeeper of his own recovery -fortunately and unfortunately. But apparently, responsibility is the bedrock of improvement/growth!

It’s not accurate to say that some people don’t want problems or drama in their life. It’s more accurate to say some people do not want to deal with the fallout of their choices. They still make stupid choices but they run away from the consequences.

A lot of people in this country 1A partner they’re not! Someone giving and stable and selfless. A lot of people are looking for someone who has the tendencies to tolerate them even though they4’re intolerant.

I may attract unhealthy people throughout my life but clearly I didn’t want them to be a part of my life.But what if you can’t attract healthy people? What if you want healthy people in your life but you can’t reciprocate on their level? These are all valid questions one must address amidst the agonizing need to be a part of community.

I get that we need to create jobs for an expanding population -i guess. But do they have to be fruitless, mindless endeavors? Can’t they be more in-line with meaning, notably the kind which helps mankind to ascend rather than descend or stagnate? JEEEEES…

A lot of people struggle with only receiving spiritual rewards in a society that gives little value to them. They struggle with their own, or rather, GOD’S definition of success versus man’s. A great conflict for many human beings is choosing between GOD who seems ethereal versus their fellow man who is or at least appears more tangible and seems to subscribe more intimately to our savage self, our base self. Many people cannot turn their backs on the latter.

Many people choose an unhealthy or twisted individual who will say “yes”to them over a perfectly healthy and perfectly loving GOD who will say “no”.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that any society that engages in or allows the things we do in this country house of severe issues with sanity and taking care of themselves better known as “self-worth”. All one need to do is take a step or 2 back from being submerged in the only thing many of us have ever known; take a deep breath; and open our minds. Look at the food we allow to exist in this country! And what about this shit in a bottle -LIQUID NICOTINE????? Now they are making mushrooms legal [for medicinal purposes] in Colorado I hear?????? Isn’t that where the marijuana legalization thing started? Man’s continued [r]evolution into madness! Well hell, HEROINE works wonders on hangovers!!!!!!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ WHEN WE GON MAKE THAT LEGAL?

Many people lack the ability, or the willingness to look at things honestly -I guess you could say I have that gift. Quite often in my childhood -I could see the elephant in the living room no one else could, or dared.

Americans have terrible “self-worth”.

There’s few things worse than a man without sexual boundaries; and few things more refreshing [admirable, beholding] than a man who has them?

THE MOTHER OF ALL CHANCRES [HTLU SPELLING]!!!! 🤣

We go from A to B to C… into total MADNESS; blatant loss of perspective; as well as blind loss of right from wrong. The worst thing about it is that we passed this on to ensuing generations who eventually have no perspective at all, nnly one-sided and very deranged plan for living. satan WINS!!!!!

Some people have a penchant or a gift and/or both for making something out of nothing – Well not exactly nothing.

GOD basically tends to our every need. BUT DON’T BLAME HIM FOR HE ONE THING THAT SEEMS TO BE ABSENT -HUMAN LOVE AND CARING!

The more we vear off the rails, the more GOD’S blessings seemed to be falling to the wayside.

Sometimes it’s not just our thoughts that drive us to drink; but our feelings. People have varying degrees of ability to feel at depth as they do with thinking at depth.

*****It’s taken me decades to get where I’m at. I don’t think 99% of people in the program would have stayed sober through what I put myself through in recovery.

Someone once asked why does GOD allow… My response was how do you know GOD isn’t trying to address the issue and man isn’t interfering? How do you know GOD didn’t send food to those people along with medical supplies; and man intercepted them and used them for profit and personal gain; and who knows what other agenda? Besides, without a change in man’s attitude and in his heart, if GOD fixed everything, it would only go back to where it was in a very short time. YOU SEE, THE ANSWERS ARE THEIR -BUT SINCE THEY’RE NOT THE ONE’S MOST OF US WANT TO HEAR… 😔 And GOD has better things to do than spend HIS time defending HIMSELF.

I heard this in a meeting years ago [and it had a profound impact on my attitude, and belief[s] toward GOD ] “Better to believe in GOD and discover there isn’t one; than to not believe in GOD and discover there is ONE”*. Pascal’s Wager

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager

*The other being “GOD doesn’t hurt people, people hurt people”.

Being single is one thing but being alone is something entirely different.

GOD never made anything harmful and ugly and then said choose between that and something beautiful and beneficial.

Some people pick and choose the things they want to do to be helpful to others very carefully. When you point out something to them that they missed they’re not interested. Then there are those people who simply want to be helpful and kind to other people. When you point something out to them that they missed they are very happy to learn from the experience and better themselves in future.

My ex wife did kind things but anything outside of the scope of her own ideas was not welcome. It appeared she did what she wanted to and nothing more which could be construed as selfishness in itself.

A person genuinely concerned with the welfare of others must be prepared to be flexible as well as teachable.

Just because you’re a poor or uneducated doesn’t give you a right to be bad.

What’s with these people who go to church and then come out into the world and live life according to man’s principles instead of GOD’S?

The places we sought out, the people we hung out with, the trouble we brought on ourselves… …. …. … NO WONDER WE COULD NOT CONCEIVE OF A GOD THAT EXISTS! GOD NEVER ABANDONED US, WE SIMPLY KEPT MAKING DECISIONS CONTRARY TO HIS WILL -THAT COUNTERED HIS EFFORTS!

You have all kinds of options available to you within -not everyone does.

I could never even entertain the thought of doing or giving to another person as long as I felt empty, needy, cheated, envious, resentful, like I have nothing to offer, or incomplete within my self.

I thought that beating myself up for the wrong things I had done was the right thing to do.

Trying to forgive myself for the things I had done in my life well continuing to live in a world that can be very unforgiving has been quite a challenge. Also living in a world where people want you to believe you’re the problem when in fact in many cases there the problem hasn’t helped either.

“If I could make a difference in the life of just one person while speaking… It would be nice to do so with everyone in the room however”.

If I keep my mouth shut in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings -people have a look on their face like who is this guy. If I open my mouth in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings people have a look on their face like who does this guy think he is. 🤣

Unfortunately, I do not work the most stringent spiritual program to keep me grounded. These writings do little to add stability to my emotional self. In fact, it is probably more accurate to say that continued focus on the human condition does little or nothing for my spiritual base [but strain it]. Though doing these works for the welfare and benefit of my fellow man are a good thing, so is working in a treatment center with Alcoholics and Addicts. But that never kept anyone sober. It’s the practicing and working of the 12 step program that does. People have tried to get away with working in a treatment center without working the 12 step program in the hopes of staying sober and clean. The results are mixed at best depending on how far out we’re talking here -in terms of time.

Many people never bother to look below the surface it’s too much work for them. It takes us on the surface and run with it for better or for worse. The other end of getting hurt due to such superficiality or hurting someone else due to such superficiality.

People always want what I want. I see something in the store at a good price and I go back to next day and it’s gone. Everything else is still there though.

Most of us are not trying hard enough [@principles], and some of us are not trying at’all! Some of us give are all to the things that are not most important. And then we don’t give anything close to our all to the things that are most important. This is a dilemma for most people. 😔 Brilliant, GOD!!!!

Very few people can look at every part of themselves and see what’s really going on. Like for instance when we’re b*********** ourselves. Like for instance when we’re being bullshitted by something coming from within because something from without has penetrated in us. I might be having things a little confused here. It’s been a day in my head. You could argue every aspect of our being in the opening line. What I meant more specifically was all the thoughts and ideas ideas that go through our minds. Even the stuff that goes through our heart. Do we really know what’s going on? Do we ever really challenge ourselves enough in these areas with each ensuing encounter to determine if, if our initial sense or assessment is accurate or inaccurate? We must always be vigilant [use discernment]. With regard to evil. It’s regard to. With regard to the world.

If I’m not making an impact [or a difference], then what’s the point?

I think GOD will help us out but I don’t think hes willing to pull around too much with the law of cause-and-effect. He made X and Y to be joined respectively -and therefore it is good. As nice as it might seem for some of us to be able to connect B to Y, I don’t think GOD is necessarily an agreement with that plan. For example some of us who are struggling with change would like for God to grantus what we cannot seem to attain based on where we are at or what we are presently or for the remainder of our lives for that matter. I think in most cases in order to acquire why we must transform, through GOD’S help into X. Change the difficult thing for us human beings. Especially when it comes to our makeup. Whatever we happen to be that denies us the things we want most in life come up for most of us it will be very difficult to transition.

Clark Gable Mystique

Being able to handle high-stress situation seemingly with ease then extremely attractive and admirable quality.

The more emergency situations we study and learn how to handle…

Every human being should be adept at handling emergencies and basic medical emergencies as well with regard to the people we are constantly surrounded by in our world.

Everyone of us should be prepared for anything. And yet most of us are prepared for very little in these United States.

Some people have been going around saying things about me that aren’t true. And just approve them wrong -I’m going to be exactly the person I’ve been all along.

What happens in the physical world isn’t as important as what happens in the spiritual world [when it comes to outcomes especially, we would all do well to keep in mind that little truism].

For people such as ourselves, such as alcoholics, the struggle of self forgiveness is shrouded or grounded in both shame and ego. Remember that like a diamond when something is grounded in 2 or more things it has an increasing power or strength to it -positive or negative.

You know what the great thing is about being the problem as opposed to somebody else being the problem? You can do something about it.

Some people think they have everything but they don’t. Some people think they don’t have everything but they do.

So, when are we going to create a device that can blow up the sun? Initially we built things out of need for them. Now we’re building things we really don’t need out of need to build!

It doesn’t feel like I’ve done a lot during my years sober but it sure feels like I’ve learned a lot.

We’re afraid of GOD because hes a punishing GOD and we’re mad at God because he doesn’t punish those who we feel deserved to be punished.

*****All the things I drank and drug over were still there waiting for me when I got sober. The things inside of me.. In the world itself hadn’t changed the much either.

*****I had problems so I drink and did drugs. Then I have those problems plus the problems of drinking and drugging that go along with them.

*****If you can’t refrain from drinking the 1st drink then how can you refrain from the 2nd after having taken the 1st and being compromised in your reasoning?

*****It refrain couldn’t refrain from drinking when you were healthy and strong how are you going to refrain from drinking when you’re weak and shaking and with the diptherian tremens.

*****Give yourself a chance to survive, to LIVE and to discover the beauty in life; whether it be once again, or for the very 1st time.

FIND SOMEONE YOU WANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM….

GOD, unlike man, counts good intentions!!!!!!

Everything revolves around the condition or state of one’s self. An attitude of giving versus an attitude of taking and with regard to making the transition from one to the other has to do with where we’re at inside of ourselves. The same thing is true of interacting with people. People who cannot interact well have X inside of them and about them and is where they’re at whereas people have Y and them and can interact very well have.. inside of them, mindset… weill, you get the point.

If at all possible let go of your past that was nothing like you dreamed, and live the life you dreamed starting right now.

Your children are who you learn how not to be a fool around. Or with..

A person hasn’t developed full-circle until they’ve raised children.

I had written about insects going around spying on us 15-20 years ago. Artificial insects. Course this is no new idea. But it’s something I’m aware of.

10% of something is better than a 100% of nothing. Somebody said that in the movie

I’m not the most motivated or energetic person physically, but mentally…🤷‍♂️

Some people think their respect has to be earned.Similar to trust… others give of these freely until you shoe them otherwise. Personally, trust is a variable, but respect is a constant. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Corporations and governments slap us with legal formalities before the issue has even been afforded any real opportunity for resolution [according to both sides and not just theirs]. Governments and corporations are set up to do battle whereas the typical consumer is not -and they know this. In the government’s case and I suppose corporate America’s case -they’re using our money to fight us GO FIGURE

[Most] Women either expect or look for, or atleast need to feel in their own minds they do] the advantage in an encounter with a man. When they don’t, in some cases they will rise to the occasion, where they will simply shy away or run away. And even though they look for such things as security and financial stability from a man, they still look for or need to feel the sense of having some sort of an advantage in that relationship. I think I figured out why so many women in encounter after encounter shy away or run away or push away. They don’t feel they have the advantage with me.

Everyone loves a man who treats everything like it’s no big deal -well, almost anyone lol [Same goes for a woman!]

Which is greater, the power to weaken the masses or the power to empower the masses? TRUE POWER LIES IN THE ABILITY TO FREE THE MASSES -NOT ENSLAVE THEM!

Someone reminded me the other day -if Jesus could not have an impact on them how are you or I going to? But believe it or not, man has the ability to impact man or even JESUS failed. Additionally, and unfortunately, man has the ability to impact his fellow not always for good!

I don’t believe most people are more virtuous than I am. Not because I’m a pillar of virtuosity either…. Most people simply do not direct their energies fully or even worthily in this area or endeavor. Anyways, I don’t think most people are more virtuous than I am when it comes to making relationships work and accepting others the way they are. I think most people are either less aware, or less egotistical [by nature not effort].

Some people come out of dysfunctional childhood very passive or even meek. There’s always 2 ends of the scale it appears -with we human beings. Therefore 2 choices or possibilities. I think I came out of my childhood somewhat passive [that’s a very BIG somewhat]. But as soon as I started venturing out into the world on my own and saw shades of my childhood -my anger burst outwardly.

You can’t eat tvs or gold watches. If the public won’t buy at the price you’re selling it for you’ve got a lower your price -it’s that simple. This is where the public recognizes it has the power over these companies and even the government. I’ll never understand why the public puts up with the government. You think just because we need “a” government that we need “this” government –WRONG!!!!! The government gets away with far too much, and the public very little. Well the public gets away with a lot too -that it isn’t caught doing.

Cap n’ crunch cereal and burnt bacon -mmmmmy favorite.

It’s amazing how children mimic their parents. Family size for example. Age when having their 1st child. Or even how fate intervenes. BOYS, GIRLS…

How many parents look younger than their children?

There is a difference between being accepted and used. Except that many people don’t know the difference. TY LORD!!!!

Man always uses things 2 ways. So everything new we bring into the world has the potential to threaten it -as well as improve or heal it! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

People who exhaust their energies with regard to a certain situation before the time arrives when those energies are actually needed, DON’T TEND TO FARE WELL WHEN THE TIME COMES!

Passing money out versus passing Bibles out -notice the different RXN’s. You want to talk about doing the test sample it is very telling about a group. Does it get any more telling than this! If only people would throw the money in the top drawer and and relish The Bible.

The key to our presence in this world is not to think about it too much; and not grind our axles thinking about it or trying to figure it out. Many people have tried!

Self centered people tend to be more preoccupied with their own self gratification and fears then of the other. When you live in a community like that and you inspire fear and people they will continually shy away or reject you. Because their 1st priority is themselves not you as a human being. In society today we basically lump people into categories based on our perceptions rather than. How many people are treated with caution in this country who are no threat whatsoever?

You can proposition a person just to see what their intentions are in what’s inside of them. But then you run the risk of being labeled the instigator rather than a person trying to find out what another person is about inside.

If we’re not tested how do we find out who we are? And if there are no consequences how do we change? The answer to both of these questions is that most if not all men cannot or will not.

A lot of twisted thinking and twisted miss within us can come about from the notion that something that means so much to us is hopeless. Therefore I beg of you to give yourselves some hope in all areas of your being; In all areas of your life!

If JESUS needed 5, 6, 7, 8 hours praying and meditating with GOD…. WHAT OF US WHO ARE WEAKER???????

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

If only you would raise your standards to where… -VOILA!

A lot of twisted thinking and twistedness within us can come about from the notion that something that means so much to us is hopeless. Therefore I beg of you to give yourselves some hope in all areas of your being; In all areas of your life!

In a country filled with men who take their wedding ring off at a most opportune time, I didn’t think it was so strange to don a ring shortly after meeting a woman I felt strongly about. Proclaiming to the world there was already someone special in my life.

You don’t test a man’s willingness to be charitable when he is living in the manner in which he prefers.

And what about expectations and reasonable goals for our selves? Regarding moral dilemmas?

GOD allows man free choices; man does not. Explain this to me!

Some people never seem to get angry. HOW DOES THAT WORK?

It sucks knowing there are people out there who can do a better job than you with regard to your spouse or your daughter or your son… There’s something about that that really just shoots straight through the heart ❤ 💙 💜 I used to think about things quite a bit when I was younger, things that would just tear my heart out. Awarenesses. Or simply the way I would look at things. Man O’ man was it rough. There are people out there whose mind works against them but in matter of fact, a lot of these people don’t know just how badly the mind can screw itself -and the host carrying it. He’ll I probably don’t but I’ve experienced probably bout my limit in thar regard.

I like people but I get tired of them. I have charisma but when I get hurt or I very disappointed it recedes inside of myself.

Anytime we WANT, [EVEN NEED] something on this Earth that is attached to a man, we make ourselves vulnerable. Unfortunately, even the GOD-given things. When a man controls and tyrannizes the very things the masses require.. Presumably we haven’t seen that yet in this country but we’ve seen it throughout history.

Some people know how to be vulnerable and some people know how to give comfort. Some people know both some people know neither. But I think the ones that know both are the ones that develop friendships that both last and are real.

Some people in high places are actually incredible, and some are not.

There are men who either have a natural ability, a cultivated ability, where they simply try hard as h*** to be solid functioning human beings and men in the role a man is created for. I don’t think I have any of these qualities in spades. NOW just think about that.

I like people, but invariably, inevitably most are hurtful.[scratch that] most will hurt you.

When you can’t have the things in life you yearn for -it’s one thing. When life seems to continually s***** it away from you when you’re that close 🤏 to having it or achieving it – It’s something entirely different. There are many people in the world who want a normal life and will never have it.

Is a person to be considered human if it doesn’t have a soul?

If GOD isn’t in us then how can HE help us? And how exactly do we get GOD IN US? Very simple. Very easy. Because when are working with GOD, things are always very simple and very easy.

I think the reason GOD knows everything is because HE is in everything.

I’m great when my 💙’s completely in it. But how often is that the case?

We make up things and we get into things. Depending on what’s inside, it/they usually turns out to be something good or something bad.

A TROUBLED SOUL. I remember hearing this term years ago and how much it resonated in me. It seemed to define me finally.

The excuse for alcohol in this country is that they’re all adults. A very narrow view. Consider alone, the # of children of people who drink in this country and how they’re development, their very souls are impacted in this country. OR, Think about how much money is made off of selling that booze. Think about how much money is made off of these children who end up in counseling or psychiatry or in jails and prisons. Think about how much money is made off of these children who end up requiring medical attention for the damage alcohol is done to their bodies. It’s a multiprofit industry.

You spend tens of thousands of dollars on a car and then you spend tens of thousands of dollars on gas -what a racket Sell something to the public that keeps making you money -some idiots consider that ingenious. But tell me something, is destroying this planet ingenious as well?

The government had entertained the thought, if we can’t take away the guns we can take away the bullets. The Constitution doesn’t guarantee ammunition. How stupid are these people. Lawyers tricks

What is a genius if not GOD IN US!

When someone hurts us or someone who represents something hurts us, we lose respect for them and then we lose our regard for them. It’s apparent to me now that I have little respect for women or regard for the opportunity or the scenario. I hurt inside terribly because I have no family support from them either because they’re dead or because they don’t value me. I heard inside because they showed little regard for me recently. So I feel a little regard for the situation, or person I am facing now as a result. Brand… Incidentally, they hurt Me Too! 10 or 12 years ago. It’s often bad enough that we can see what’s going on within us and not do the right thing in response. But to not be able to see it is even worse -because there’s no chance.

Turn your resentment into gratitude! When we see GOD’S hand and GOD’S plan in everything, we can only feel gratitude.

Whatever is going inside of a man that makes him rape, Whether it be the need for sex or the need for power what do they need to procreate… What is it that women do who find themselves fedoing whatever it is in the man in themselves? If men deal with whatever’s going on inside of them by raping come women who experience the same things, how do they…

I know people who were raised on healthy food and when they grew up they didn’t want to eat the junk most of us eat no matter how good it tastes and how tantalizing it is to the rest of us.

Most of us can’t fathom the things GOD allows. If you only knew the things GOD didn’t allow when HE created this universe he might not be so angry or astonished at HIM There are a lot of other things he could have allowed in his creation that he didn’t because of mercy.

For some people it’s not within the scope of their awareness to be hurt by someone for what they didn’t do. H*** at least half of my pain with human beings is over what they failed to do or be considered of.

Maybe that’s why I don’t get some of the things I want because I always ask God for his will to be done.

There’s a difference between doing things to please people and doing things to be loved. ISN’T THERE?

People in this country are weird. Some people text you back days later and some don’t text at all!

If I would have known it would have taken this long to recover from my childhood I might not have never bothered. There’s a reason why GOD doesn’t let us see everything.

When you have dealings with somebody and they bend over backwards to make a deal gone wrong right. Don’t go for the throat. Tell them you’re willing to compromise on their efforts rather than simply take full advantage of them.

Far too many people don’t know what to do to alleviate their suffering in this country.

How do some of us get to the good and kind and soft hearted and thoughtful and loving people that are so few in the world? How do we make them a part of our life?

It’s not about what you want from a woman -she could care less what you want. It’s about how you make them feel. 🤷‍♂️ Some of us guys have it and some of us don’t. I’ve seen unattractive men with the most beautiful women in the world.

Are you or I changing the world? Probably not! But somebody is! And if you don’t like the change is going on in the world and you need to become one of them.

satan is hungry, the average Christian is not-what does that tell you.

I have a way of praising things to put my own emphasis. I hope that’s not going to be a problem.

Some people have a knack for conveying humility. I don’t think i”m one of them. 😔

The more our alcoholism increases the horror relationships decrease or suffer.

*****Show people in meetings what it is to… bare some of your worst character defects. Show them so they know they are not alone! The thing about Alcoholics Anonymous that I always felt was detrimental it was people concealing their true cells and their true lives in front of people who know nothing but failure and shame. How can a person feel a part of something under these conditions? How can a person relate to?

*****They should have recommended I not date for about the 1st 30 years lol

Why don’t things we need grow wild in vast fields?

Why is it easier to gain weight than to lose weight? And why is it for some people it’s easier to lose weight than to gain weight?

The new fad among Americans is everybody has their own truth. SILLY PEOPLE ! The universe has its own truth as well.But the universe doesn’t have 20 or 20000 or 20 million about any particular thing-it only has one per. If you really want to narrow it down, it only has one -GOD creator

It’s not good to listen to something over and over. It’s not good to watch something over and over-at least it’s not for me.

When I was younger I was f***** u* and women would give me a chance. Now that I am not f***** u* they won’t give me a chance. YOU’RE UNBELIEVABLE

How does it feel to go through life pretending GOD exists -when in fact HE does?

You can read all the books in the world; garner all the knowledge throughout history -but if you remain closed… BOO 🤷‍♂️ Better to be entirely ignorant and open!

The one thing in the entire universe GOD cannot do. Isn’t it funny how even with regard to GOD, the most important thing in life is the thing we’re [ALL] powerless over! Believing in and loving one another, and [in] GOD!

“It’s as if I was brought here to serve a purpose rather than enjoy the life I’ve always dreamed of having.“

In man’s world doors constantly open and close. But GOD’S IS ALWAYS OPEN.

What is a man to do when all doors seem to be closed to him?

RELATIONSHIPS are best left to those who can handle them -a truism most of us will not want to listen to!

Many Americans have no idea what a relationship requires, entails. Many won’t care, they just feel they need or require one, the condition of one’s self for better or for worse, be damned!

Many people feel that having a relationship is a right, an entitlement! And they also think because they have ONE, and they have a good catch [in their mind], that it is representative of their own status, quality, or health!

I’m more, and I’m less than most people!

Can you hold your own even when your partner can’t, or won’t? If the answer is no then you have no business in a relationship.

Fat is great for wrinkles on aging people. Natural botox?

When you fill up your tank only put half a tank on your credit card and then wait until the next cycle and you will save on interest rates.

If a man has everything in the world but feels hopeless, what has he got? If a man has nothing in the world and feels hopeful, what has he got?

When faced with a fight or a confrontation or a conflict you tell the man we’re gonna do things on my way not yours. On my strengths not yours..

I only know how to be straightforward with people and though that’s a healthier approach, I don’t think many people in this country or in this city are OK with that.

I don’t think I should be here living the life I’m living trying to be a part of life, society. I think I should have died or ended up in prison or on some street corner homeless doing drugs because the position I’m in I just don’t seem to fit. Where am I? Well within my person -I’m about as close to normal and healthiest I’ve ever been and yet I can’t seem to get the things in life that I yearn for.

The world is largely a cold place, why do you think we’re so f***** u*? Many of us are not even getting our basic need met. We see our kids for an hour in the morning and then an hour at night and we think that’s enough love to sustain us, between being out in the cold cruel world for the other 18 hours.

If you knew what corporate America is doing right now with regard to groceries for example. If you had other knowledge that you could compare and gain perspective on you would be appalled..

The thing about Dale is he wasn’t prone to emotionalism-and a lot of people admire and respect and most certainly feel comfortable. Frankly… I…

If a company can stay afloat with only a certain percentage of the population who can easily afford their prices, and it is a product that everyone needs, then we will all be forced to pay those prices. Because if the company can stay in business while keeping the prices elevated on something that all Americans need -then half of America is screwed.

Today in America we’re forced to pick and choose what we will enjoy based on the income and the prices we are struggling with. One company is staying afloat and making a profit based on a certain group while another group, with cross over of course here and there.

That’s what’s happening in sports, if the company can stay in business charging ridiculous prices even if it means leaving out most Americans or making them sacrifice in order to pop on the bandwagon…

Anyone in modern day America remember the definition of community?

I see a lot of tired a** people in this country. Among other things they’ve been drained financially by the powers that be in the name of freedom supposedly. But in many ways we don’t have a choice because that’s the way the system is set up. If we did have a choice we’d tell most of these some b****** to go to h***. And they know that! Which is why they make us do it or give us the illusion we have no choice.

The 1st thing you want to do when you hear people are spreading rumors about you is ask yourself honestly if there’s any truth to it.

Some people on this planet will be disappointed more than not by their fellow human beings, by life itself.. Some people will not. It’s likely by design. Which are you? Myself, I’ve been disappointed more than not. At least with regard to the things that I thought mattered most to me.

Stronger but not smarter. Which is better common to be stronger or smarter?

Someday a bad movie will make a billion dollars.

What is the name of those criminals that have no feeling or remorse? What is that condition called? The fact of the matter is that with regard to ourselves and certain areas of life come we all have that condition. Some of us for example feel nothing for the homeless. I’ve heard it said that some people have this condition with regard to being head people in various businesses and corporations-ruthless and heartless and emotionless.

On rumors about me being a womanizer in Alcoholics Anonymous – I guess some men need all the advantage they can get. And some men will go to great lengths to get it.

You can’t fight the world but you can ignore it.

We are each who we are and consist of what we consist of. Some of us are fellow man absolutely adores while others are fellow man has not the least use for. Does all this variation. Is it the man, or is it our fellow man who establish this distinguishments?

There are a lot more people like yourself and in your predicament than you would think.

Very few things matter.

There are some wonderful people out there in the world, but some of us will never get to experience them. For whatever reason.

You got the best of it – Often times I don’t count for much in man’s world. Be glad some of them don’t recognize that about you. Oftentimes those that do respond with great envy and malice.

You think it’s a good thing you fit with anyone, or with most? It may be pleasurable but is it really a good thing? A good thing to blend?

2 kinds of people make people uneasy. The good kind and the bad kind. But in either case people don’t like feeling uneasy so from that perspective you wouldn’t know the difference between the 2 making them uneasy. Not unless a pers honest and intuitive.

Gossip and jealousy often go hand-in-hand.

One thing I can’t stand as people who believe here-say.

The healthier you become, the more screwed up you realize people are.

You think that because you choose a god of your own understanding that limits GOD’S principles or avoids HIS wrath?

It became evident to me some time ago that a lot of people for example in my family respect money and status. My aunt once remarked with regard to the people on television making ridiculous amounts of money in a short period of time as being smart. Brilliant? Is a Christian woman you think people who are lavishing themselves in excess are smart?

Why is it that some of the people who have some of the hardest working jobs get paid the least while some of the people who have some of the easiest jobs get paid the most disdainful jobs get paid the least and the people who have the most wonderful jobs get paid the most? It’s figures in man’s world that it would be this way. That it would be all or nothing. I can’t the people who have the shittiest jobs get paid the most and the ones that have the greatest and nicest and cushiest jobs get paid the least Boy that would really upset the order of things wouldn’t it. That would really rain on some people’s parade wouldn’t it. Can you imagine how hysterical, how hysterically funny it would be to see some of the people with a cushy’s jobs getting paid s***. I would love to see that.

Most people live by a certain code in this country today, and trust me it’s not the Christian one. Even many christians when they’re comfort or they’re status or they’re ego are being threatened, far too often Christian principles fly out the window. Or when their children are sick… You see this brand of Christendom… Is made of paper mache.

A lot of people don’t have much faith in human nature-I do, in most times it comes back and bites me i* t** a**.

I’M ONE OF THE ONE’S satan DIDN’T MANAGE TO DESTROY! WHEN YOU SURVIVE SUCH AN ASSAULT FROM him, YOU COME OUT OF IT “BURNT-BITTER” or “REFINED-AS-GOLD”. AND THE LATTER INFURIATES AND SCARES THE HELL OUT OF satan! If you can get past the gauntlet…I don’t think many do! Mostly because of a poor relationship with GOD and the fact that they don’t believe there’s a devil. I believe there’s a devil but I don’t think I ever had the best relationship with God. So think of that what you will. Because I don’t know how I got through. I know myself to be a very weak person in many areas.

When you demand equality and you end up alone and with nothing what have you gotten? Remember these notions are universal. So don’t try to find any one specific application. The one I’m thinking of however…

Public opinion, right or wrong, matters [to us->whether we are willing to admit it or not]. Although I don’t think JESUS felt quite the same.

Any idea what it says about a person who is willing to turn the other cheek? Anyone who has this character trait, and perhaps equally damning [reciprocally speaking] who refuses to do so. Once you’ve seen the best of humanity in action, looking at the worst of it begins to take on entirely different depth/dimension of meaning.

That’s what we’ve become in this country a bunch of d*** consumers. You see something nice on eBay for a good price and you got a fight people to get it often times. And to the point you’re paying too much! Don’t people bother checking the value on something before they bid? Jeeeez, not only materialistic, but ignorant too.

A basic law of the inverse is that the higher the price, the greater the reward -we have no idea what or how some of those costs look like, how to produce, or undertake them, let alone their reward[s]!

If you feel a little or nothing for children.. Babe

If we are essentially good people and we believe in something approaching GOD, then what difference does it make if we or the people we care about die or not? So much of the drama on this Earth hinges upon our not wanting to be erased from it as well as those we care about deeply.

When something is highly improbable and works to my own detriment it really pisses me the h*** off. I used to think that when I was younger life was against me like some force or entity and it would really p*** me off -probably scare me in reality.

Give me those days back when me or the girls [girl”s” lmao] had no clue what we were doing. When we didn’t think too much, or think we knew everything or new enough to not allow ourselves to enjoy life uninhibited any longer.

Emotions may be the thing that relationships are all about -but it’s also the most dangerous thing to a relationship.

ALL I want to be appreciated for being a good person not a pleasing person or an appealing person or an attractive person.

Some people just seem to refuse to be defeated by life – At least not in their attitude towards it. I don’t seem to be one of those people though!

People think things are the worst they’ve ever been, you look throughout history we have a ways to go.

Nose rings and things in the ear and in the naval or nothing new, they’ve been going on throughout history in certain countries.

Sometimes incredibly surprising things happen when we absorb rather than deflect or pounce on a situation.

I think in relationships it’s largely about what you focus on or pay attention to or what you sift through and determine to respond to [GIVE POWER TO]. Some people are excellent at this if… what we are talking about is a convergence, or a more-or-less unanimous feeling [OR RESPONSE] from people and from GOD that is joyfully exhilarating -AND POSITIVE! If the person him or her self “IS” SPOT-ON? I personally, can only seem to generate rare moments ->self-proclaimed! 🤷‍♂️

It’s too tiring for me trying to maintain relationships. Trying to maintain that aura. Trying to balance that aura people so long for! Some people seem to do it effortlessly -just like these writings appear effortlessly. I guess many of us are granted certain gifts which seemingly come effortlessly. Mine appears to be the latter not the former.

It took me a long time to get where I’m now that may not be saying much from some people’s point of view.

You don’t have to worry about me being in the same room with your wallet alone. You don’t have to worry about me being in the same room with your children alone. If you’re a woman walking down he deserted alley late at night naked you don’t have to worry about running into me alone.

It’s ridiculous what some women think they can get away with with some men. It’s ridiculous what some men think they can get away with with some women. And of course there’s the cross over group which I don’t condone, but who cares what I think.

I’m remarkably blessed for someone who threw so much away and put themselves in harm’s way so many times.

Take a karaoke song with the melody and write your own words to it it’s great practice.

Life hands us these extremely emotional or were difficult experiences to get us to the next level often times. But at the moment so many of us can only see the struggle or the unfairness or the inopportune timing or the injustice. Is ambina narrow minded self centered creature. Or else would you expect? Looking back on my own life, I made it so much harder for myself, which reminds me… life is hard enough without us making it harder for each other end for ourselves don’t you agree?Unless of course you really want to grow and think you can survive the process. Even though it’s a continual ongoing process throughout our lives, many human beings refuse to recognize or concede that life was made for us and we were made for life. The possibilities in the universe which man has been made to experience are perfectly suited and also designed for his betterment and strengthening and improvement with regard to his relationship with his creator.

I could never figure out why people would go across the street and pay 349 a gallon for gas when it’s 329 on the other side of the street. Or why people go to albertsons and pay twice as much for meat as they do it Walmart. Whenever I try to sell something for more than they can get it somewhere else I never sell s***.

What do you think you represent when you’re out and about and people are looking at you? Me, I think I represent strength and conviction.

You’re not the way you are, and I’m the way I am. So why is it that often times one person accepts others while certain others don’t accept him or her?

How can one form an opinion about someone they don’t know? Some people seem to mange!

Your original nature will make it easier to break the habits of your skewed nature!

When some people see me, their minds may be blank, but not their expressions.

Unlike many, I’m glad I can’t drink, IT’S NO GOOD FOR YOU!

All this EXCESS in our country is terrible for our SPIRITUAL CONDITION!

When selfishness is in you you can’t help but be selfish. When love is in you can’t help but be selfish. When pieces in you can’t help but be peaceful. When hate is in you can’t help but be enraged.

It’s one thing to not hold people accountable for telling a lie. GOD may very well have a special place for those who punish people for telling the truth.

What does it matter everything going on around you if GOD is looking out for you?

We’re not responsible for what other people are doing we’re only responsible for what we’re supposed to do. We would all do well to keep that in mind. One of the most difficult thing is keeping the world out. Or maybe even worse yet is continually feeling that we are vulnerable to the world around us. How can we set it aside when we continue to remain convinced we are vulnerable?

What is the remote control sometimes work when something is blocking it and sometimes not work? Is there something we can’t see that’s blocking it? Or is there something we can’t see that’s promoting its abilities? I shudder to think of what’s floating around in the air around us in modern day America.

This country just seems to be turning into working and then spending our money on the things produced by people in it. Tell me where exactly love comes in in all of this? There are those 2 words again, love and money.

A lot of people granted tremendous gifts by GOD -end up going down at their own hand. Largely because of how the world perceives or receives them, or fails/refuses to.

In the early days singers were regular people. 60s-70s groups for example in rock and roll could be accessed.

Man’s increasing ability to distort certain realities is a dangerous thing.

Some words more than others when matched together create these incredible concepts or truths..

Since everything is connected, when people study various [combinations of] disciplines and gain knowledge from both they can make connections never thought of before. Yes? Now jjust imagine 3 or 4 or all of them?

I wonder if mathematically you could formulate truths?

They say the human brain is good for about a 1000 years of memory which is just about the age of the oldest living human being in The Bible. How interesting! 🤔

When you help someone and then hurt them what are you accomplishing?

If Superman saved a million people and murdered one and could save another million and… Where do you think Superman would end up after murdering the 1st person? Do the math, what is the logical decision for man? Look at it both ways I mean.

Whatever’s wrong with the world and whatever’s wrong with the world and your immediate area, The less you think about it the less power you give it. The more you think about GOD, the more of HIS POWER you will experience!

You know what I notice about a life of my own where nobody seems to take an interest or want anything from me, Fear of people taking advantage of me, or exploiting me has dissipated. The kind of fear so many people in the opposite position constantly live with. WOMEN FOR EXAMPLE! When nobody wants anything from you there’s a certain type of fear that just seems to melt away.

Beauty is something most of mankind is constantly either on the look out for or caught up in when it enters the vicinity. HOLLYWOOD… So tired of what this country continues to try and feed us.

When a man is inspired by something… When a man is inspired by himself instead of something outside of himself… himself or GOD…

It’s sad that it takes catastrophe to remind us not only how much we need each other but just how important that connection [CONNECTING] is beyond any other except GOD and ourselves.

For a man who’s deathly afraid of snakes you sure handle him with the greatest of ease.

HONESTY AND ??????? 🤔 can’t remember

What do most of the men –who have the most sought after women in the world -have most in common? Lol 😆

The fact of the matter is that whatever my innate feelings towards humanity happens to be – Based upon my experience, I really don’t have much regard for it. HENCE THE ATTITUDE!

What happens to a person in an environment where their negative experiences outweigh their positive ones? In most cases that is.

Instead of giving something power or not giving something power, take it’s power away – Debilitating or weakening it 🤷‍♂️

A lot of men can’t give a woman what she needs but they can give her what she wants. When the man or the woman get confused about this that’s where the problem start. And end! 🤷‍♂️

If you think about American society what’s so great about them that we should follow in there rules or structures too closely? Nothing really unless of course you wantna have a job, you wanna have sex, you wanna have friends, you don’t want to be alone… What’s society tomorrow about getting our basic needs rather than emulating society and they’re rules because there anything great. So just think about that! In other words, much of it is fear. Much of it is a desire to… 1 And lastly, I need to… Can you think of anything more powerful than want, need and fear?

You could say social security is for people who are unable to comply or conform to the demands or rules of society. Many women base their selection of a man on his ability to do so.

Walk up to a woman and tell them how you feel and see how much they give a shit! Most won’t really. Take care more about how you make them feel, or don’t. It’s a sad fact

Ah yes, the great American society lol. Or should I say the mighty American society lol.

As far as I can tell from my own personal experience, American society and it’s people for the most part lack any sort of depth of character because whenever I expected anyone to step forward and take a risk or do that which requires humility… 98% of the time I’ve been disappointed. Or to simply show any kind of an effort that demonstrates caring.

“I don’t operate under any given set of principles, I operate under all of them!” Virtuous thought!

Remember the taste of real half-and-half from Safeway in the sixties and seventies? Now it just tastes like 5% milk as opposed to the 4%. I know the changes from the sixties and seventies to the nineties and 2000s. But how have we been further ripped off from the forties and fifties to the sixties and seventies and the nineties to 2000s? 😔 Things perhaps start out bad, and then they get good, and then certain people have time to think and formulate… And then things get bad again for some more than others.

*****We get on our knees to GOD, HE has pity on us, things get good, we forget about GOD, things get bad, we get on our knees to GOD, he has pity on us, things get good…

Very few people have a love for the truth.

Maybe that’s why my life with certain disappointments never seem to change. But you see their disappointments that have a silver lining. I know it is like to have disappointments that end in tragedy and suffering. This isn’t that kind. The last 30 plus years my prayer has been that God’s will not mind be done. Most people cannot make such a request because their wants and needs are far more important But we will always be disappointed ultimately in a good way when our will conflict with God’s will and we ask that his will not our will be done. Beautiful! This one was a little bit more difficult but it camenot very very smoothly none-the-less 🤷‍♂️

Not only do we seem to be losing rights in this country but we also seem to be losing privileges. Privilege long in place with for example corporate America. Liberties?

I can think about a good 10 Reasons why it’s best to follow the Christian way of having sex after marriage and not before-or not to rush it. And with each reason you follow you remove yourself further from negative consequences and push closer to feeling better about yourself and the person you’re with having more respect for you as well. See there’s 2 of them right there.

Whatever great or s***** job your parents did, once you become an adult they’re no longer Res fonsible for your life.

With many women you have a very small opportunity window, window of opportunity that she will present you with. Not saying in all instances, but in many instances if you don’t jump on it in the proper, end in the proper manner, you’re done. I asked a woman out one time, couldn’t make it, she told me “that was it that was her one a chance”. That’s just the arrogance we’re trying to protect themselves or just fed up.

That’s the thing about when human beings come and we can appear so placid and even carrying and loving on the outside and be harboring the most heinous feelings or mindsets or thoughts or perceptions… And because of that nobody is trusted. Anybody who commits a crime in this country calm although treated as if innocent until proven guilty is treated like a liar.

The courts don’t make any money when somebody comes in and admits they’re guilty. Or rather, it’s like the nba finals going 4 games instead of 7 $$$$$

The defendant tells the lawyer his story, and then the lawyer tries to come up with a plan for getting his client off [WINNING HIS CASE SO HE CAN CLIMB THE LADDER]-how stupid is that? I would imagine a lot of lawyers have either changed sides or quit altogether or gotten into a different area of the work because they figure just because it’s constitutionally justified doesn’t mean it’s right. Think I saw a couple of movies on this.

If you want to get to the truth reward somebody for telling the truth don’t punish them.

All these people in the legal system depending on human beings to f****** and commit crimes so they can make a living/prosper. This is never a good dynamic for our species -it makes animals look like…!

My dad on several occasions remarked “Be a man”. What can I say about my father that I haven’t said on numerous occasions. Reston peace dad!

I’m like a junkyard dog trying to Bea member of the family.

Even animals struggle who have been mistreated or neglected at some point in their life, I suspect particularly as pups during their developmental years.

Another funny thing about animals and dogs for example, as they seem to have their own personality. Some seem good-natured and some seem bad-natured even.

Songs link me to places in my history and in my past. There is often a memory accompanied with the song. My dad, San Francisco, my mom…

“You are highly social, many of these people here are not.” Because of your freedom from fear, that being one point at least, another being openn3ss, and another being uninhibited, you’re willing to talk to a wide variety of people whereas the people here or not.

…one should make an effort to keep things interesting however!

Don’t give people an opening; or worse yet an excuse.

When people hurt you and you hurt them back -it completely negates their responsibility or guilt [atleast] in their mind.

What’s the difference between a good person and a nice person? A nice person will be nice to you in most cases as long as you are nice to them. A nice person will respect to as long as you respect them in most cases. A good person will continue to respect you even in those times when you are not respecting them.

Some people think respect is earned other people think respect is owed.

Some people think you should respect a person as long as they respect you and when they stop respecting you you do not owe them the courtesy of respecting them any longer.

*****The newcomer is the lifes-blood of AA and the old-timer is the backbone of AA!

You can arrive at a conclusion in mathematics thru several different methods or approaches but, the conclusion is always the same –AS WITH GOD!

Learning is merely adapting, changing. The hardest thing is to dive into something completely NOT-KNOWING, and go from there!

If you cannot floss all of your teeth at least floss the 1st 20 or so in the front.

I used to be a product of my family and of humanity and now I’m more of a product of GOD and spirituality I hope. Thank you GOD for bringing this back to me from this morning several hours ago within about 10 minutes.

If a man acts inappropriate with a woman and she likes it is it wrong?

What’s wrong with feeling compassion for people even if it’s a movie?

Relationship building entails a lot of exploring each other. I don’t know nothing about exploring.

Technology often extends people’s power. Isn’t that the idea? The more people it gets extended to, and the more the population grows, the more people it will be made available to [regarding that percentage…] who are incapable of using it properly or benignly. The more problematic our world becomes. SIGHS

Roger Moore interview on Sean Connery’s bitter feud with Broccoli/Saltzman!

People put out an assortment of vibes throughout humanity. I think there’s a correlation between the consensus of all our experiences and what we put out. I can’t get to the vibe that people most enjoy because a consensus of all my experiences is a combination of negative and positive. Deeply negative and positive. Deeply hurt and positive.

Man does not know everything about man or any man. GOD does – And GOD so chooses to love man rather than hate him. If we who cannot see everything can find it in us to rely on that which can… We would do well follow HIS lead!

It’s easier to attract bees with honey than with vinegar. But if you want to repel a wasp, use vinegar rather than honey.

You’re not just fighting me you’re fighting yourself-To Ashley.

What happens when a bad hearted person does a good thing and when a good hearted person does a bad thing?

I saw this on the movie Nevada Smith. What can a man do that would make him both a lot of enemies and a lot of friends at the same time? [To] tell [you] the TRUTH[…]!

Poisonality

Certain guys in the world make it harder for other guys with regard to the women in the world. They make us have to up our game. But it also oblitterates any kind of acceptance. So should we accept one another or force each other to change?

LEARN TO APPRECIATE -DIFFERENT KINZ OF PEOPLE’S! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I’ve babysat, I’ve been babysat, These days I’m not looking for neither.

JESUS didn’t throw HIMSELF out there in any way that would counter HIS message or his goal. I own the other hand do that all the time. Part of the reason is I am a victim of DUAL feelings about the world. The other is I wanna insert myself in the picture rather than GOD and HIS MESSAGE only -i’m a man 🤷‍♂️

“YOU THINK IT’S ME WRITING ALL THIS?” Waves of insight, truth, awareness day-after-day?“

“I wouldn’t say so much that I’ve got a lot of issues, although that is up for debate, but I will say I’ve got a lot of miles [on me]. So maybe it’s best that relationship with Sandra WENT SOUTH before it even got started. 🤷‍♂️

“Amidst everything I’ve lost, thrown away, destroyed, had destroyed, GOD HAS SEEN FIT TO THROW ME IN THE MIDST OF A “GENUINE MASTERPIECE” IN THE MAKING”.

When we’re weak we [tend to] handle things life throws at us very differently than when we are strong. Sometimes we don’t know we’re strong so we handle things like we’re a week. Some things in life we recognize very easily where we’re weak and where we’re strong and an other areas of life we did not so easily recognized where were we and where were strong as of the reason why we are struggling. Or even the fact we are struggling. Or even the fact that unlike so many others, we are not struggling in a particular area. Many people are in the dark with regard to themselves and others and being strong are being weak in the many facets of life we human-beings are subject to. OHHHH -THE POSSIBILITIES!

We’re made to either grow stronger and wiser in the face of life -perish, or remain ignorant by choice.

There are people who do not function to an extent that they are shunned by society. There are people who function to an extent society can society cannot comprehend them. And then there are those who function on the edges of the outer limits only, and therefore they do not surpass societies comprehension. These people many are often elated, or are awed by others.

I think with animals as well based on the minimal amount I’ve observed or read about rather, when they hurt you and you don’t retaliate… When you turn the other cheek of sorts… They recognize more quickly in certain instances that you are there to care for them. Like when I try to pull a thorn out of Daisy’s paw and she’s biting me… I’m glad I saw this because I do tend to get irritated at Daisy when she nips at me or struggles against me. https://youtu.be/VJIG8VXSXBM

In many instances when a person feels robbed or cheated by life [or a person], blatantly unjustified, they will as in my case, seek retribution, or atleast to turn-the-tables, even at their own peril, risk, demise, thwarting the very thing they hope to [re]capture in the process! What are alcoholics for example attempting to capture through their drinking? And ultimately do they not achieve the EXTREME OPPOSITE in their pursuit?

Growing up I was certain life had it in for me at some point, This became very personal This became very personal -hence, the outrage!

When you’re younger it’s hard to recognize the toll your decisions and your perceptions are taking on you. The things you participate in. You feel invincible emotionally. But also in many instances our bodies are so resilient that we do not feel or recognize The Strain. It’s a good idea to pay heed at any age to this sort of toll. What could possibly be worth putting ourselves at risk or damaging ourselves even if only later in life we feelrecognize the consequences. Only sacrificing ourselves in the service, betterment, salvation of others, can this perhaps be justified.

I just can’t seem to get my footing with human beings here [LC]. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. What exactly do many human beings manage to accomplish feel they have their footing? Who in fact have their footing. But where exactly do they have their footing? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ We all should at some point ask ourselves that question. 🤔

*****There’s so much wisdom in the 3 songs by Boston more than a feeling, foreplay/long time, and piece of mind. It must have been written by an alcoholic in recovery because everything this guy talks about is the antithesis of our approach to life in our cups.

There is so much incredible music out there, but the messages they convey [so much they have taught me]!

Which is better to have everything in the world and not know what you got -or have one small thing and be able to appreciate it as if it were heaven-sent?

When are we going to start including numbers and names like license plates.

It’s impossible to stay sober based on how we feel on any given day because sobriety is constant calm is a constant while emotions are available. If you plan on staying sober based on how you feel…

Who is more normal a person who experiences a wide range of fluctuation of emotions or a person who does not?

What are you angry about? Having my potential permanently compromised! I could have been a contender!!!

GOD takes the most unlikely of people who are weakest in a particular area and turns it into their greatest strength or turns it into one of the most inspiring demonstrations of strength in that area ever perceived by man.

Our need for spending in this country is proportional to the disconnectedness we are experiencing and thus feeling among one another. People don’t even know it’s going on. And that’s exactly what the powers that be want.

What’s the difference between a person who has an issue within themselves that is negative or painful and who hates themselves or loaths themselves versus a person who is an issue within themselves that is negative or painful and who loves themselves: all the difference in the world!

SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES PUT INTO MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS!

People admire a man who makes a small deal out of a big deal -when it’s happening to him. Although they care a little for this -when it’s happening to them. What I mean to say is when person A has done something to person B, person B don’t care much for it when person A plays it down. The one something calm about when person a is going through something most people consider to be difficult to stomach or accept come and person a themselves is able to play it down… A lot of people tend to admire that. Even if in the privacy of their own time, a suffer tremendously over it. Or perhaps especially when in private they suffer tremendously.

You can’t even tell these people who are bothering you over the phone to go to h*** anymore because they’re recordings. Where is the government in all this man

As long as certain men don’t have one woman they’ll keep looking at 1000, even a million! Funny how just one woman, or the lack thereof can have an effect, a profound effect on some men.

I think the way a lot of men treat women, has nothing to do with the dynamic itself -but a bitterness due to feeling cheated. Or powerless. Alot of a man’s powerlessness has nothing to do with the women themselves [realistically speaking], but rather his fellow men and how they behave with regard to the female species. They are largely responsible for the empowerment women flaunt, enjoy!

I wasted many decades telling myself it really doesn’t matter where you live or what you live in but who you are inside. Only to find out decades later that it matters to me.

Many people don’t just have good jobs so they can buy nice houses they have nice jobs so they can live in nice neighborhoods.

The women in this town either act like they’re spoken for, gay, p***** off, or afraid. At public accounts for about 95% of them.

A lot of slogans and wit have filtered down through the ages out of man. Some prrrrrr-etty…

Many times were absolutely certain about something. Like for instance that continued misfortune [are you sure it’s misfortunate?] is something outside of our selves when in fact IT IS US, AND ONLY US! This is a dilemma or a riddle most people cannot escape from or solve!

Can you imagine all the things that have happened on this planet that have never been captured or recorded or seen by man?

Can you imagine all the crime that has gone on through the ages with feeble means of trying to portray these people to the public so they can be captured? And I mean for example in comparison to today’s technology!

You don’t hear too many songs about how cold the world is being sung by elderly or children or women. It’s usually sung by men 20 to 50. We are usually the target.

SILVA2.0

Depending on who you are and how you come across will depend on how I react. I’ve got a multi dimensional personality. Then people don’t have that in a lot of people like that. A lot of people don’t seem to care for my responses.

Why do you think the book of Alcoholics Anonymous is about what it’s about? I’m talking about the various facets and details of the 1st 164 pages. Because that’s what they experienced. Why do you think so many people talk about lost love in their songs and being alone? Because that’s what they experienced. You think people who are fulfilled in life sing about loss and being alone? You think that people who are famous and wealthy are given with regard to having the things in life that mean most do we human beings? The most difficult issues in life surpass even wealth and celebrity. Loneliness, failed relationships, drugs and alcohol….

It’s funny how you’re gonna cross someone you’ve known in the present yet you can’t remember their name. But somebody even known from the past that you haven’t seen in 30 years their name pops right into your head. I had that happened today at Walmart with a gentleman by the name of Jerry. What’s funny is your mind tells you in one instance why can’t I remember your name. And in the other instance you’re asking yourself how the h*** did I remember that name. The mind is a funny thing. At least mine is. Like I always say it’s more than endless than most peoples.

Do you regret hurting people because of what it cost you, or because of what it cost them?

HOW SMALL IS YE UNIVERSE?

Some places breathe life into you and others take the life right out of you. I would imagine these very for each of us.

You can predict anything if you have the right information! sorry mama’s hand to write-up I’m sorry baby girl.

*****My problem is I want to do everything perfect when it comes to interacting with others.

Man seems to grow linearly rather than exponentially. Or he grows circularly. Or he grows recedingly. He can’t seem to keep a steady pace upward. Certain traits he refuses to relinquish -he embellishes! Relishes?

“The Voice” some people can fall in love with “just the voice alone”.

NOBODY GETS EVERYTHING -SOME “APPEAR TO” OTHERS COME CLOSE… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

GOD ALWAYS FORGIVES a sincere apology, contrition -man does not! I remember seeing in a movie… so I go to my grandmother to apologize, she took a swipe at me!

Whenever I would spit my gum out on the street, sidewalk… Within days, I step on someone elses!

I remember when I tried to apply sheer force of will on my defects they exploded back on me!

DALE: MATURITY AND A CALM THAT DIDN’T INSPIRE FRAR IN OTHERS! PUT THEM AT EASE!

Alot of people for example in relationships, recovery… think if they just stop doing what they used to to people-THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH!

It’s a good quality to admit when you’re wrong -just don’t be wrong too often lol

Find a woman with the warmest soul you can find.

One way of defining humility in a rather vague sense is: An act the [moral] majority of humanity refuses to subject themselves to!

HOLD ON to whatever reason you can to get and stay sober!

How can a person not know they’re JEALOUS or ENVIOUS?

It’s my experience that if milk is fresh at the story can last a couple of weeks or longer. Milk that is not fresh at the store will only last a week or even A-day depending on how unfresh it is. All I know is that I’ve had milk last up to 2 weeks or longer in the fridge. In most cases it will not which leads me to believe that the milk in the store in these instances is already aged or old.

Two evenly matched teams or combatants can go on for quite some time.

I saw a puffer jacket on eBay for a 1000 bucks. Downfield, name brand, 1000 fill power… I wrote the guy who had it listed as extremely rare, I wrote and for that price it will remain rare lol. He responded that I was stupid and that I was embarrassing myself. I wrote back saying that to me it was a bowl of feathers and about $4 worth a fabric made in Korea or Thailand and sewn in a sweatshop in Hong-Kong or New York City. We Americans in our egos, he naturally COULDN’T RESIST writing back once again. I still think it’s utterly ridiculous that a bowl full of feathers and a few dollars worth of Fabrin a few dollars worth of labor could translate into a $1000 jacket that someone must work 20, 30, 50, 100 hours to buy. BUT, WHEN YOU THINK OF SOMETHING IN THE CONTEXT OF… A handful of feathers a few dollars worth of labor which would normally feed 10 people transformed insomething that can feed a 100 people… Then this capitalism nonsense actually seems like something of a MIRACLE, something HEAVEN SENT!

WHEN I think 🤔 about somebody working for an hour just to buy a gallon of milk and a carton of eggs… It seems that that would be a mere 10 minutes of somebody’s working time -and for many it is. Just not most! This, because somebody has to line their pockets with profit.

If there’s anything I’ve taken away from all those years as a child watching all those wonderful classics on the silver screen besides its principles is to look at life as something of a movie that I always hoped would have a happy ending but in most cases never did. One thing I struggle to get through my thick head is that life is not like the movies! Just becoming aware of that fact that I was operating with this frame of mind is something thst’s taking a very long time to recognize.

GOD WILL PREVAIL, either here or in the hereafter!

It’s easy not to interfere with another person’s spiritual growth when they are kind and amicable and grateful and gracious. The real challenge is when people are not so kind, not so amicable, not so grateful, not so gracious. When we have done God’s work well, we have to be careful not to undo it with our own self interest or egoism. This is the most crucial work of all. This is where the hardest of the hard are softened. This is where the turning of the other cheek really really pays dividends -maybe not always but more often than not perhaps. Even if this last part is not the case -it is still worth it for even one soul to turn to “THE LIGHT”. To turn away from the darkness.

I wrote years ago that GOD does not waste HIS time ON FRUITLESS ENDEAVORS. But think about the amount of effort put into Judas ISCARIOT. Jesus knew it would not bear fruit regarding Judas himself. Nonetheless, JESUS had to be JESUS and hence GOD had to be GOD! One moral of the story is that you cannot stop being yourself simply because the outcome is doomed to fail. The other is how much would we not have learned from this tale-of-tales had JESUS not been JESUS because HE knew the outcome was doomed to fail? And what sort of respect would we have had for JESUS had HE acted otherwise, with the same outcome? After all, aren’t people always watching!

I remember when I would throw fits of anger towards someone, later in my life there was always a witness somewhere watching. It used to infuriate me further. GOD grew tired of my lack of accountability and my lack of growth in this area. I suppose HE wanted me to pay heed -among other things.

Don’t make the mistake I do of diluting the pure message by overthinking or over-talking it.

“Add to it, take away from it -but always with a search for TRUTH in mind!“

“NO ONE…” “COME ON…” And there was a 3rd one also in recent days but I can’t remember it. As I was thinking about something in my mind these words came in at the exact same time these 2 separate thoughts in days apart came from somebody else speaking in a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. 3 times and say the last. Perfectly time. The exact words I was thinking a millisecond prior 2 or at that moment. “WELL…” # 4 this morning from the movie “7 ALONE”.

LYSOL in the shoes and Hydrogen peroxide when brushing your teeth WORKS WONDERS!!!!! Your partner will appreciate it as well.

“I WANT MORE THINGS TO GO MY WAY -TODAY!”

Not everyone who is or appears screwed up is suffering and not everyone who appears cool, calm, collected and his living the dream is not.

When a person who is willing to get sober crosses paths with GOD’S GRACE oft present in the rooms of AA/NA, they generally stay clean and sober 👍

There are two kinds of people in the 🌎: The one’s who BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY HEAR, and the ones that don’t!

A lot of people tell me I look young for my age-I wouldn’t want to think about what I’d look like now after 32 years of drinking and drugging. 32 years 10 months and 23 days

You know what I see lacking more and more in this country everyday, spiritual principles!

People hate being judged almost as much as they love judging others. Just like women hate hearing no almost as much as they love having the power to say no.

****** If you want to look like forward you when you’re 60 stick around here; If you want to look like 60 when you’re 40 keep doing what you’ve been doing. There are a lot of people in these rooms who look younger than their age!

Don’t never let anything rob you of your piece of mind if you can help it. Keep it to an absolute minimum! Indefinitely don’t let anything rob you of your integrity. I’ve compromised mine thousands of times throughout my life. Some people are handful at times at the most -then they seem to learn. NOT ME! Learning disability?

You ever see a man with emotional strength deal with situations most of us would… It’s quite a site to behold!

It used to be that people would use pressure to discourage people from doing the wrong thing. The way people think nowadays, they discouraged people from doing the right thing.

It used to be that men had a filth on their minds when making the assumption that… Now it is the woman who has filth on her mind when making the assumption that a certain man… Women nowadays automatically assume you wanna screw them -when in fact in many instances they don’t.

Is a man’s life worth any less than a woman’s or a child’s?

When you know what you’re doing, success generally follows. How can you fail if you know what you’re doing? Can you say you know what you’re doing if you fail? Can you say you don’t know what you’re doing if you fail?

Do you have a high IQ because you get the answers right or do you get the answers right because you have a high IQ?

A good example set by you is an opportunity for those around you.

There’s 2 kinds of examples: what to do and what not to do-both are invaluable. Although I wouldn’t go intentionally trying to set examples of what not to do.

Some would say embracing life with all its… is the answer. Others would say lett go of life with all it’s… is the answer.

NOT AN EASY PERSON TO KNOW!

I find people who have an issue with me who don’t even know [never met] me particularly interesting/fascinating!

It’s unfortunate that some people don’t know how to react to masterpiece.

They say the greatest music as a consensus was between the late seventies and early eighties. I was between 14 and 20 during this time-human’s musical prime as far as listening goes. I don’t think God did this my mistake knowing what I had to face before during an later in life. It is for me [SOME OF] the greatest music ever written!!!!

A real man will accept another man’s apology -a troublemaker, or coward will not!

Some people miss the important things and are only capable siding trivial things. I have a tendency to mistrivial things.

It’s where satan manipulates us into walking into a problem where there was none, by convincing us that by walking towards the situation we’re going to avoid trouble rather than find ourselves knee-deep in it! satan has been at this for a very long time. It’s like the guy who gets manipulated into giving up the information on his Swiss bank account thinking hes protecting that account [from the bad guys].

The worst kind of person is the person who acts civil and welcoming for their own interests rather than others.

Most of us in this country are numb or unfeeling in one area of life or another. The more extreme example is killing another human being. But we’re all guilty of it in some area or sense or another!

98% of the time humility will get you out of a really bad situation -or at least make it somewhat better.

People tend to be motivated either from the inside or from the outside. There are good motivat/ors/ions and bad motivat/ors/ions -inside and out! I sometimes wonder if there’s a bad motivation for staying sober and clean however.

satan is always looking for an opportunity to knock those of us out of the game who represents anything contrary to his plan. Sometimes a straight forward attack, sometimes an attack from the side, and sometimes a ripple effect that unleashes its wrath down the road when we would never even see it coming -in some instances.

LONELINESS does something to alot of people! It’s one of satans most common and powerful openings against man! Drinking, drugs, skewed thinking, skewed emotions, skewed values, distorted anger, distorted fear…

Different people have different problems. Some keep people from having relationships. Some don’t keep people from having relationships. Some don’t keep people from having relationships but they keep people from having healthy relationships.

Things would be a whole lot simpler for those of us who have problems if we could just get our own basic needs met from the people around us as GOD intended.

They say LOVE TRANSCENDS ALL. But alot of people have to have so many things in place with their prospective partner they their brand of LOVE OTHERWISE COULDN’T TRANSCEND!

When AA doesn’t work -it’s the person! WHAT THE BOOK SAYS WOULD HAPPEN, HAPPENED TO ME! I DON’T THINK ANYONE WALKS INTO AA “KNOWING IT’S GOING TO WORK”!

The art of making people lose confidence in for example, a fight [before it gits started].

If you gotta go down, do so without the world inside your head.

How long did it take this country to come up with the ideer of some form of ID for it’s citizens? JEEEEES And why?

98% of people want to avoid serious conflict or trouble!

If you’re going to pick a time to assert yourself and try and trust in GOD when you for the most part struggle to believe in him and trusting HIM to the contrary, do not pick a time when GOD feels it best that you experience experience rather painful lesson – Otherwise you’re apt to grow all-the-more interesting of HIM!

It’s so wonderful knowing that as powerful as many things are in and beyond the universe, NONE CAN RIVAL GOD!

If energy is everywhere then why are we paying for it?

Give me one resource however seemingly insignificant come and give it to me in an infinite quantity.. And I will be the richest man in the universe! Perhaps the most powerful!

There are riches all around us. Can’t you see them? Things of infinite value! But man prefers things of finite value because it would give them their worth. At least in his soul. satan calmer the prince of finiteness. GOD the king of infiniteness!

When you achieve or receive something wonderful you sometimes forget about it’s meaning and it’s present in other aspects of our lives which are as what perhaps even ore wondrous and joyful. When I got my new bicycle I got the double joy. When I got my new bicycle I got the double joy of it both with my friends in Van Nuys and El Monte

Something harmless, anything harmless placed at the right place at the right time can be lethal..

It’s too bad there are people both smart enough and sick enough to manipulate the masses to their own advantage or ends. But America seems to be experiencing a shift. When you use people’s own inclinations, that they themselves are apt to use in a negative way or just need a little shove in an unhealthy direction,… People are easily manipulated in this regard. People like to seek pleasure and avoid pains and that can be used to another’s advantage quite easily. Works for satan

It’s hard for a man to be sensitive while at the same time not being prayed to emotionalism.

Human beings aren’t the only ones who don’t care about the cost as long as the payoff is greater. They especially don’t care about the cost if it is to you or me and the payoff is greater for themse they are in Lou with.

Even when nothing is happening in a broken relationship, it is evolving within the individuals themselves.

If I had the “BETTER-LIFE” that I want, there is a good chance I would be placed in. The life I have today, for a number of years, affords me considerable freedom from HARMS-WAY! The bad with the good; the good with the bad 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

It frightens the h*** out of me the idea of picking my own higher power.

Life is no longer cheating me; GOD is no longer cheating me. The things I have are a BLESSING, the things I don’t have are a BLESSING -Maybe that’s been the case ALL ALONG!

Take the HORSES back!

People mostly want the better end of the deal. The long end of the stick. I suppose that’s the definition of selfishness. The definition of unselfishness being that of allowing others to have this long end of the stick.

What if carrying a concealed weapon gives you the advantage you need with someone who’s looking to start trouble and hasn’t advantage over you in age or lack of principles? In certain situations where you show your Ace outwardly, it’s sometimes indicates the little advantage you have over another person who’s a troublemaker. But the law doesn’t look at such things that way. They play the odds or the numbers or something. I’ve often stated that we need to take each situatindividually in many areas of life

Life will often provoke us into compromising our principles. Even abandoning them in extreme instances, in the face of extreme circumstances..

One of the 1st indications of spiritual withering is dishonesty of the cash registeriority and inability to remain honest and true to ourselves. I sense some of that once again going on with me. It’s an endless cycle. Everything requires maintenance.

Without GOD we are defenseless against satan. satan will not stop coming until there’s nothing left to come against! So as long as there’s something to come against -we need GOD’S protection.

We are all limited in our abilities to rise up and meet GOD – And we always will be! What I mean by meet GOD is to rise up to HIS… We can never be everything HE would hope us to be because of our own Iimitations.

Man’s body is not stronger than your soul. Certainly not purer!

Anything that does what a DRUG does -is a DRUG [addiction]/ISM’s! Can you think of other things?

satan would have me believe that everything that comes out of my mouth is either worthless or offensive and that I am continually being cheated out of my life! The fact of the matter is that ever since I’ve been sober, at least, at the very least since I’ve been so overcome every successive day of my life has added to and not taken away from the volume and quality of it! With the exception of occasional setbacks -it’s continued to ascend, improve, flourish!

The less one needs the more one is willing to give up freely, readily. And isn’t the battle among the human race solely or largely based upon what each of us is unwilling to give up [materially, ideologically, philosophically, spiritually, egotistically…]? I find myself moving away from this more and more. It feels marvelous and it also potential Strife and struggle and conflict between myself and others.

Women have been my God and interestingl enough cagainst all laws they elude me.

With regard to doing an inventory via the 4th and 5th steps of the 12 step program, it’s not just about getting honest about the things that are wrong with us and wrong with our lives but also about what’s right with us and what’s right with our lives -the latter being gifts from GOD!

GOD-made the universe so that everything that’s right with us and everything that is wrong with us and that of the universe —can be turned to good.

It’s better to have something happening which tests are resolved and are limitations however bleak and discouraging the trials themselves may appear with regard to our unwillingness or limited willingness and limitations than to have none of the above and appear to be in perfect harmony and at peace. A lot of people in life experienced the laughter and we admire them for seemingly having it all, and being in control. THIS IS A MISCUE!

What is the worst injustice that a human being can endure in this life-and when the judicial system fails to hand us the Justice we so long for what are we to do? And do judges set the example they expect all of us to when the worst of the worst is handed down to us by life? They don’t really believe that murdering someone who murdered your six-year-old baby is unreasonable but they do think that they have to maintain order at all cost under the guise of it being unreasonable. You’ll never hear them say it’s reasonable what you did. And if they did? What would that say about their actions moving forward to the contrary?

Some people, if you have offended them, and if post-offense, you can give them the sense that by mere comparison -you are significantly inferior or even a joke to them, they may overlook, even forget your initial offense. In contrast, if you give them the impression you are superior or think you are superior post-offense…

Every chance we get we should give credit to GOD!

Can we even pray too much? Are there actual times where our concentration should be elsewhere?

We can pray anywhere, anytime!

Each UNIQUE, individual mosaic of experiences produces what?

Some people are blessed by not looking their age while others are for example blessed by having tendons and ligaments that do not act their age.

Just as people in the 16th century couldn’t imagine all the things we enjoy today. Can imagine all the things we’ve created or progressed towards… What will it be 500 years from now with regard to us looking at that future? Will we be zooming around the universe in huge craft-Homes?

I said it’s some 2025 years ago that the precious metals and perhaps even the crude oil assisted in the tilt of the axis of the planet and now that they are being mined… The axis of the Earth is shifting.

There was a time in this country when people didn’t believe that money was the answer to all their problems and trying to get a lottery on board would have been a joke. You see you have to change people’s attitudes and way of thinking in order to bring something new in and make it successful.

In the movies man can seemingly do anything. In a man made world man consumingly do anything.

Is it that simple? You implant the suggestion in someone’s mind and then a certain percentage of us act upon it whereby a certain percentage profit or benefit from it? Like mentioning Starbucks or Pizza Hut or big O tires in a movie?

Quite often common parents whether they know it or not are creating a safety net of sorts for themselves through their children. So that for example when they get older they have someone to take care of them. Someone to comfort them later in their years when no one else gives a d***. Some people are very good at this and others are not. And maybe it’s the way GOD intended it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

What’s the difference between belonging nowhere and belonging everywhere? Think about it -For one thing none of us fits either.

Any idea what the progression for a species which doesn’t screw its own kind over is/looks like? All we do as rely on our strengths surpassing our weaknesses and; the weak suffering the consequences while the strong evade them.

If you want to look 60 when you’re 40 keep doing what you’re doing; if you want to look 40 when you’re 60 stay in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

The town I live in is an excellent example of what The Bible talks about in terms of man’s shortcomings.

Be open minded to the fact that not everyone shares the same experiences with humanity that you do. Some people insist on, some people are so emphatic, they don’t just want to seen the world their way, but through other people’s eyes their way.

*****With some Alcoholics it’s not enough to have a resentment towards a particular person, they have to pick up a resentment with regard to how others are treated by a particular person.

It’s amazing to me how many people, at least outwardly, appear to lack remorse for their actions. Or at least an awareness. IN THE GOOD OL’ U.S. of A. Arrogant society?

Even though I’m living among my own kind or among my own species, even though my intentions are for the most part benign, it feels like I’m living in enemy territory. People often DO NOT like what comes out of other people’s mouths. They will retaliate.

In the town I live in there’s a lot of drinking and drugging. And almost without exception, these people will experience issues with development and maturity. And it shows!

People have a choice and or ability to be weak or strong. And you look at both extremes and how they translate amongst one another. And you look at strength for example, and it translates to either immense exploitation, indifference, or immense caring -depending on the individuals character. Same thing with weakness? My initial thought was that if you are strong versus weak you are good.

There’s something about people. They don’t like you getting in their trench without being invited -now getting in people’s trench is not necessarily a bad thing. Not necessarily even when uninvited but -there’s just something about it that rubs that vast majority of people wrong. I’m not sure you could say this about JESUS, but some would! And HE was definitely viewed by some as stepping over other people’s boundaries.

A lot of people in Alcoholics Anonymous don’t care for what I have to say. “I’m not here to “while away” the time”!

Some people are weak and some people are strong. It’s amazing to observe people who are strong and how they interact with their own kind versus people who are weak.

Some people don’t want what other people have in Alcoholics Anonymous-but they should.

When a person only does for you what they want to do -and nothing more [not what the situation calls for]. Or when a person does for you their way, instead of your way, the way you want it done, who are they really doing these things for? 🤔

Some people require a connection; a reciprocation of sorts in order to feel or to sustain a feeling towards someone. BUT NOT ALL DO!

“I’m a little screwed up -but I’m beautiful” STEVE McQUEEN

satan knows what hes doing too -from the vantage point of achieving your objective at least in part anyways. But achieving an unobjective only has value or meaning to the extent it aligns with GOD’S!

Are you gonna focus on what man is doing to you; or what GOD is doing for you?

I don’t know what accounts for the extreme differences [opposites] in attitudes [polarity/polarization?] towards humanity among individuals. Perhaps it is the same thing that accounts for the extreme differences in attitudes towards individuals among individuals.

How was much of the land acquired in this country? And is it too late to go back and make people accountable for their methods? How is it that with so much land in this country, the citizens themselves are not allowed to own any of it? Not unless they pay for a! Were they not born on this soil? Are they not natives of this land? And what about the Indians? Did the same fate Befall this average American as did the American Indian?

Now I know why numerous people with long term sobriety commit suicide-will become very different from the rest of our surroundings. You do know what I mean by long term sobriety correct? Some people will quit, so you think you’re unique? I think the word improved is appropriate. Unique in the sense that boring the fact that we have a deadly disease that requires it, we chose to improve spiritual condition. We chose to accept God’s help which ultimately is the foundation of this, of everything!

Ana doesn’t get it. I experienced more joy with her in my life then all the other periods of time in my life combined and all the other people in my life combined. Lenelle would be a close 2nd. And to think, that according to God’s measure, God’s principles, these 2 relationships probably should never have been. These people did more for me than my own family combined!

Some people like people who represent good; and some people don’t like people who represent good.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

At least you’re trying come as some people don’t even do that. When it comes to doing good, it’s better to try and be feeble in your attempt even, then do not try it all. But not only do many people not believe in this philosophy, many people will ridicule or judge those who even attempt to do so.

Some people may never be able to live out their most cherished dreams -But they may be able to make a difference [regarding others most cherished dreams coming true]. I guess what I’m really saying is making a real difference in the world! A lame attempt at a bit of poetry in the middle there I suppose.

Some of us never seem to be able to flip the switch, to be able to turn the corner with regard to the most benign and powerful entity of all! But the ones that do –WOW!!!!! IMAGINE…

… And I suppose your Native American

I came in to recovery, or perhaps it was shortly thereafter, with the idea of becoming a better person. Many people after years in the program have never/yet to come to this conclusion themselves.

Believe it or not [there are] some parents who can not live with the idea that they bore a child that is ugly, or stupid, or more attractive, or even more intelligent than they are. Or more successful!

What seemed impossible or even an imaginable 500 years ago is very much present in the now. And 500 years from now?

We don’t just have an opportunity to be jealous or envious of our neighbor nowadays. In this country we are afforded the opportunity to be envious or jealous of the entire world and Hollywood and blah blah blah. Men no longer have to compete with men in their community now they have to compete with men all around the world. Men who are all made up and aren’t even what they really look like in the movies as well.

A lot of people can’t fathom violence or even retaliation. How some people manage to live as long as they do without experiencing either I have no idea.

Many people viewed as weaker have survived [emotionally…] things you and I could not. It seems to be a facet of humanity. Both seem to be a facet of humanity.

Which is healthier, being able to let your family die to save the world or not being able to let your family die to save the world?

Some people are a light to the world few people recognize. Some people only experience… For some people the emotion that comes with recognition rather than the emotion that comes from knowing who/what they are -only seems to affect them. EGO vs HUMILITY

If you are a wondrous gift to the world but the world fails to recognize it -then what’s the point?

If GOD never gives us more than we can handle then why is it that…

GOD is always careful not to give us too much. And anything that would interfere with our relationship with HIM! HIS relationship with us!

When we entrust ourselves to GOD we do as HE would have us do; we accept whatever HE gives us in return; with grace and gratitude.

Reality is especially difficult for those who have not comprehended, or mastered GOD’S PLAN!

Is it GOD or the hallucinogens that expanded my mind at work with these writings?

If everyone lost their family who would be left that could survive such a tragedy? You might be very surprised. This is the mountain, so what is the pebble in most peoples shoe?

GOD LOVES A FIGHTER! The fight is ours and HIS. The fight is HIS and ours. I grow weary -not sure what I am saying at this point! Hundreds of writings these past few weeks! TIRED!

Make more intelligent people. Wouldn’t it be better to make a better quality of people? Then we wouldn’t have to be smarter.

How often do we human beings love enough to sacrifice everything? Not often enough!

Always look beyond and you will find something new. Always think that there’s more to it. Ever take things for only what they appear. Look within yourself until you can look no further. Remain open until there is nothing left to be open too. Then rest.

2 toxins working in unison or canceling each other out.

Remember the children.

GOD has placed every cure for every illness on this planet.

The key to a great cheeseburger is put the spices in the meat not on it.

Toxins can cure certain illnesses or affliction.

GOD wouldn’t make something like chemo therapy to cure cancer if it’s killing the patient. NO-BRAINER!

Take a song in here on the radio and write your own words to the melody.

A man is seldom as important to a woman as her child.

You look at many of the screwed up guys out there, and many of them have a woman. Now what does that tell you?

Children learn at an accelerated rate very early in life. Whether they are placed to negative or positive environment they learned from both very rapidly. Not necessarily in the positive direction.

GOD does things like that –HE will pop things in out of no where unexpectedly – that our 💕 desire!

Better to be pleasantly surprised than expectantly disappointed.

I learn well but I don’t learn fast. I’m not what 1 would term “a great adept”.

Move too fast…. Move too slow…. 🤷‍♂️

I once remarked to my friend Dale the type of life I longed for. He responded “the simple life huh”. With a complicated mind such as mine what other kind of life would you expect? I couldn’t handle a complicated mind and a complicated lifestyle.

A very angry man in a fight can be a very formidable opponent.

A man who can hit harder than you and take a better punch will likely win. But if you have speed and accuracy and longevity and you are durable….

There’s 2 kinds of people in the world: The kind that spend more money than they make and the kind that make more money than they spend. The kind that spend money and the kind that make money.

You are what you are Rick: Temperamental, sentimental, easily moved by your surroundings. 🤷‍♂️

***** If you want to look 40 when you’re 60 stick around here come if you want to look 60 when you’re 40 keep doing what you’ve been doing out there. And another thing, improper rest, improper nutrition, lack of exercise. I don’t know too many alcoholics or addicts that get proper rest proper nutrition and exercise regularly.

One thing a lot of people throughout history and in modern day America have been able to get through their fixed goals is that there’s more to be gained by giving than there is to be gained by taking.

I think what’s kept me youthful, sane, and sober and somewhat healthy has been my talking about the things that get to me. It doesn’t seem like a very dignified approach but it has appeared to serve me well throughout my life on multiple levels. From what I understand lots of men who hold things inside don’t fare so well on multiple levels. They say women who have someone to talk to and openly share what they carry inside of them tend to live longer and healthier lives.

I’ve come to the conclusion one of my problems with people is that I’m not an easy man to get to know.

Many Alcoholics are loners or lonely. When a person has no close relationships where do people get to the point of exposing themselves on a deeper level come on an intimate level Volcano the individual who lacks this sort of experience goes through lifeor seeing themselves in a distorted sense of lack of perspective. They do not know who other people are and therefore they do not know where they fit in in terms of their own make up, decisions, experiences and behaviors.

One of the things I don’t like about Alcoholics Anonymous is how people come in and keep their problems to themselves and their feelings to themselves so often. People who come in who are new and hurting or filled with shame see this and find it hard to feel or rather to relate. They feel like a fish out of water because we fail to show them that we too are human affected and afflicted by human struggle within and without.

It’s OK to share the acts of kindness towards others rather than keep them in secret, as long as you give God the credit.

GOD will not allow I believe, man in his present form to violate certain individuals -to either stain, or maim certain individuals; as much as we may long for, at times -the rather “SULTRY COMFORTS” [had to look it up to be sure] of our quite-earthly companions.

People with credentials are not necessarily telling the truth and people without credentials are not necessarily lying.

Who are you going to believe, GOD or Mr. Darwin? Man is either a liar or limited in knowledge, always biased -or all three. GOD on the other hand is ethereal, ungraspable, uncontainable -almost entirely incomprehensible! Those are our choices!

The world is filled with men and women and even children with contempt for others, for one another. People in positions of power, or not. I too have contempt for others-although I do not go around seeking punishment or wrath on them. Or do I by merely harboring such… attitudes? God does not ordinarily rob man of his abilities too it is to act out whatever he allows to take up refuge within. HE affords a man the opportunity to make a turnaround -of his own according- Only then can the man be properly judged for for either doing a proper about face or not. Man on the other hand wants to punish his fellows at the 1st sign of offense. Man is no respector of man’s free will. At this very moment he’s probably working on a way to prevent man from offending before the offense even takes place. This has been a long debate among mankind in modern civilization. Probably history too. I suppose you could say that in this country man respects man’s free will thus far. Only because he cannot fortell the future. Minority report? But he most certainly does not respect a man’s right to find his way [back] in his own time, in his own way. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ GOD does not violate our gift[?] of self will but how does he feel about man doing so? I’m sure that answer is somewhere in The Bible.

Some people are masters of how shall I say 🤔 “THE HUMAN TOUCH”. They have a knack for doing everything right with regard to interactions with their fellows –i’m not one of them. They very often leave people with a sense of… well, let us just say “a sense of what we human-beings could be, or should be”.

*****My motto sharing in meetings is to be as real and is truthful as possible. To be as useful with my experiences as possible.

*****I think once many of the wounds have been healed and many of the flaws have been turned around into assets – And as a consequence, much of the self will which once kept God out has been subdued or restored to its proper size, that it is possible to stay sober without direct contact with Alcoholics Anonymous any longer in certain cases. I’m not sure what the useful purpose of refraining from participation in Alcoholics Anonymous would be; I’m merely stating from my own experience that it appears that as long as a relationship with that higher power is maintained one can experience ongoing sobriety in certain instances.

It’s bad enough that so many of us have lost genuine concern for a fellow human being, but the exploitation that is taking place is killing this country and our species around the world. Mankind is going down!!!!! Our children are learning what????? If you simply fail to pass down teachings that lift a child coupled with man’s natural impulse to descend or take the easier way… The generation will decline has will ensuing generations if exposed to the same formula.

You give a person in the 3rd world country a 1/2 eaten candy bar and they would be overjoyed to receive it. You do that here in America and you see what kind of reaction you get.

One of GOD’S pet peeves is refusing a sincere apology, or amends!

Human beings DO NOT DEAL WELL WITH long-term pain or sttess!

…IT WAS THE ONLY WAY GOD COULD GET PEOPLE TO PRACTICE SPIRITUAL PRINIPLES -REACH OUT TO HIM EVEN IF ONLY AS A LAST RESORT!!!!

FEAR when we recognize our own limitations and have NO GOD!

There are worse pains that we can inflict on one another than physical. And we know that most people would agree that a physical assault justifies defending ourselves -so… 🙏🏻

I heard a black man once say that “n****’s coming all colors”.

When we pray to God and when we place our faith in God we expect him to keep us from harm’s way as well as those we love and care about dearly -and when he fails to do so we mistakenly REJECT OUR FAITH IN HIM! God is the best friend a man could ever have!

Some people, no matter how heinous the crime against them, will at some point show compassion for a person who is being punished beyond Justice/reason. Some people cannot or will not.

“I’m very open and yet I’m a man who’s hard to get to know-if you can figure that out lol” 🤷‍♂️

*****Any of the fears we Alcoholics experience are based on awareness of our own limitations. This is true for human beings in general. That is why in the 12 step program it is imperative that we find a higher power of our own understanding that console our problems. Because without it it, we are constant prey to anxiety and stress -which always aompany fear. And anxiety and stress are almost always facets of alcohol and drug abuse. Just ask any non addict or non alcoholic who abuses alcohol and/or drugs.

How can you be aware of X but not Y?

I think life changes dramatically for us as we grow older and begin to recognize our own limitations. Limitations do to age and limitations that have been there all along that we refused or were unable to recognize early on.

It’s like I used to tell the people up at the hospital: BY SEPARATING THE MASSES WE WEAKEN THEM AS A THREAT TO GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE AMERICA; BY BRINGING SEPARATION WE CREATE A VOID [LIKE THE WIRED-MOTHER-MONKEY THE INFANT IS FORCED TO BOND WITH RATHER THAN IT’S NATURAL MOTHER -ALL KINDS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTORTIONS SET IN AS WELL]. THEN YOU SIMPLY PLACE GOODS AND SERVICES INTO THE CAGE AND “VOILA”, YOU HAVE A SYSTEM OF HUMAN BEINGS ADDICTED, OR BEGGING, OR DESPARATE FOR PRODUCT ->ENTER “THE ADDICTIVE MODEL”. Alot of people think that they are truly interacting for example with others on their phones! Then why are they so addicted to things if they are sated? THEY ARE NOT SATED -BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED IT IN THEIR LIVES. THOSE OF US WHO HAVE, “HATE WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME”. AND WHEN WE ARE GONE??????? THERE WILL NO CONCEPT OF BEING UNSATED BY “THE NEW WORLD ORDER” OF THINGS!!!!!!! ONLY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW AND BELIEVE -WHAT A F*****G WORLD. So, when you bring disconnection between the masses -what you have essentially do is weakened it; and turned it into a hungry machine. 😋 😜 😉 😀 😏 😆 😋 AGAIN, YOU SIMPLY INSERT WHATEVER YOU WISH -AND PEOPLE WILL GRAVITATE TOWARDS IT [AS A CERTAIN ASPECT OF OUR BEING, AFTER THE FALL AND DISTORTION SET IN, HAS A CERTAIN AFFINITY FOR THE MATERIAL -AND GOD, WITH SOME PROMPTING, CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE EQUATION AS WELL, CREATING AN EVEN GREATER “VOID OF NEED”]. How stupid are we -even in the marvel comics, and in dystopia literature it states -the new way to power is to have people give over their freedom willfully! Isn’t that what we did post-911? Didn’t GEORGE BUSH stand up there [setting us up by] telling us “AMERICA ISN’T GOING TO CHANGE”. JUST AS DR. SPOCK SET US UP BY TELLING US “IT’S NOT THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE SPEND WITH OUR CHILDREN, IT’S THE QUALITY OF TIME” thus sending out 10’s of millions of otherwise guilt-ridden-mothers into the workforce -further breaking down what was left of the family unit 👪 and raising both the mean income 💲💲💲💲💲💲 [additional tax payer –GOVERNMENT], and raising the spending power within the home [more boost to the economy –CORPORATE]. ARE WE THAT “OBTUSE”? When people operate from their Basic Instincts these are the kind of movements, cajoling we witness! And man hasn’t even reached to the antithesis of his “ANIMAL-SELF” just yet either! IOW -THE WORST HAS YET TO COME. It’s our choice to turn it around -but man becomes so diluted and convoluted… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Was George Bush pretending to be a “dim-witt”?
