FACEBOOK “Let’s be honest here, the world isn’t the nicest place. But what we don’t want to do is react to it; or deal with it like the typical unhealthy, faithless person. Respond don’t react (with “higher-principles”)?” 🤷‍♂️

“Protect yourself, and your relationships; through faith 🙏🏻, not fear 🥺!”

● Life was bad in the past;

● Good in the present;

● And I don’t know what the future holds.

■ And that’s all there is! 🤷‍♂️

Humanity is so varied across the Spectrum from good to bad; healthy to unhealthy; good and evil; strong and weak.. And then, as is so often is the case; we have such a very different set of goals and agendas from GOD’S! This is also true of individual’s themselves:! Is it any wonder that GOD so often refuses us our requests. 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Recognizing something and seeing something are 2 different things – Open my heart GOD, not just my eyes!

Lawyers in court can use extortion and threats, but we out here in the world cannot?

The problem isn’t your situation come of the problem issue hiding it. That’s where the problem begins for you. A lot of situations we shouldn’t hide and shouldn’t have to hide.

FACEBOOK “If you as a partner cannot handle the truth then -don’t expect your partner to go on telling it to you in the future. Especially if you’re violent or abuseive or disrespectful.”

If you don’t have anything to give -then you can’t set GOD’S plan in motion! If you’re afraid (and lack courage) -then you can’t set GOD’S plan in motion!

FACEBOOK “For example, we think about the next thing on our mind we want to do in the presence of our partner… Last night my partner and I made love. We gazed into each other’s eyes for an hour maybe longer. Then I thought about turning on the TV and watching a movie together. Then, I thought about how I would feel if I was in her shoes and at some point she decided she wanted to turn on the TV and watch a movie. It took on an entirely different shape. I never turned on the TV to watch the movie -Never even dared bring it up.” 🤔🤷‍♂️

Practice being yourself not who people provoke you to be!

How can you expect GOD to bless you with a wonderful relationship -when you’re maliciously envious of others and theirs?

I sometimes have malicious thoughts of others, but at the end of the day if I had a m**** w*** and could materialize those thoughts I would never do it -Some people however…!

Speak with sincerity and with conviction -always!!!!

High taxes and corrupt government officials DO NOT BODE WELL FOR TAX-PAYING-AMERICANS! NM

The authorities resort to “force” and tell us WE CANNOT! Isn’t that kind of like a parent smoking, and telling their kids “not to”?

What we practice out in the world; we bring into our homes. What we practice in our home; we take out into the world [whether we like it; whether we believe it].

Try to adhere to (practicing) the highest conduct, mannerisms, attitudes… in spite of the world! THIS IN TURN WILL PROMOTE “A NEW PERSONA”!

Worrying only makes us weak. Faith makes it strong!

There are alot of situations you have yet to encounter which would bring out various issues you are not yet aware of -those of you who consider yourselves RELATIVELY HEALTHY! *And there are numerous things in life WE MUST be able to face IF WE ARE TO BE CONSIDERED “HEALTHY” -many people tend to “pick & choose”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

●There didn’t seem to be a GOD out there that cared about me -but look at the places I was hanging out at

●God didn’t fulfill our wishes. But the thing so many people overlook is the fact that HE kept us alive so we could get here!

GOD’S WILL? The principles!

FACEBOOK “We feed ourselves with what we see rather than what we are and what we do and what we refrain from!” Laziness… Lustfulness… Shallowness… Lack of self-love… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “There’s too many people in this country that don’t give a d*** about other people!”

Exercise in “self-awareness” A lot of people aren’t self aware; Even the ones that are have holes. It’s amazing how many people don’t realize that when they’re with their partner they’re looking a little longer than they should at a man or a woman who catches their. You asked them about it and they won’t have any clue what they’re talking about. It takes a lot of energy to be self aware and a lot of people aren’t interested in expending it. And oftentimes they are very subtle nuances. Most of us tend to look a little longer at someone who catches our eye who is attractive than someone who is unattractive. Natural? I say that little extra time is disrespectful to our partner.

FACEBOOK “That” doesn’t mean you can’t trust your partner! “That’s” your ego!

FACEBOOK “Recovery is an act of self-love!”

FACEBOOK “We can’t control people; but in some instances we can overpower them! Even if we could control people, what would we have? SERIOUSLY!!!! Think it through; I mean THE DESTINATION, not the journey!”

I’m experiencing 2 problems (make that 3):

● Trust in relationships*;

● Very demeaning (bashing/backbiting) judgments of others in my mind**;

● Family very mistrusting***;

● Selfishness!

● Animosity in our family

● The teachings of man as a wicked creature in our Christian faith

*Both of my parents engaged in infidelity and were perhaps promiscuous.

**I heard numerous conversations -character assassination of others from my family. Judgemental… Critical…

***It dawned on me that numerous members of my family are either scared to death of the 🌎 or extremely leary of it. And they pass it on to us [THIS “LACK OF FAITH”]****.

****We human-beings pass on numerous good and bad qualities; generation 🤔 after generation 🤔 after generation 🤔 after generation 🙄!!!!! 💯%

So what do people think about, how do they view life… exc? Happy end at peace living in a world that is so riddled with different kinds of people? Different kinds of character and values?

Some people deal with problems by being confrontational. Should I say, some people deal with their fear of other people through confrontation. Try to cut off the threat that way. Others come by being friendly or passive, pacifying the threat.

I have been hurt by people through the years on a number of occasions; But harmed… I would have to say that GOD has protected me in that manner greatly!

FACEBOOK “Some people know how to hate just as deeply as they know how to love!”

Some people satan can not touch, try as he may to stamp out their FLAME -They already suffered tremandously, early in life -and will not be allowed any further harm!

We need to pity screwed up people not take vengeance on them! They, in many instances are either:

▪︎Their own worst enemy, or;

▪︎Have essentially been robbed of the opportunities so many others tend to take for granted, besides;

▪︎It’s GOD’S will.

FACEBOOK “KEEP in mind; 🤔 When you have a powerful technology in place for example; placing the masses in a vulnerable position and constant or inevitable “changing of the guard” so-to-speak; all it takes is “one-bad-apple” coming in to turn things upside-down!” 🤷‍♀️😔🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “They say we can’t control people, or that we’re powerless over them. Try spitting in someone’s face -and see if you’re powerless over them. Try donating a little something to a parent who is desperate to get medicine for their ailing child -and see if you’re powerless over them. About 90% of the time when you offend the ego of an American, they are going to react. Powerless my… Spiritual principles are perhaps the most powerful thing in the universe! Whose spiritual principles we not only affect people -but we can actually help in transforming them! Reforming them!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ Try spitting in someone’s face and see how they react! Try giving them $10 and see how they react! You see, we do affect each other! Sometimes we control, or even have power over them. Power and control are often a matter of the individual giving them over to us. If not always the case! We see this in our own lives, and the lives of those we know and love.

FACEBOOK “What do we as human-beings agree upon completely? Think about it!” 🤔

FACEBOOK “I can’t tell other people what to do, or how to behave; so why should a company be able to? I don’t have any power to tell people they can’t discriminate; so why therefore should a company have that power?”

FACEBOOK “Some people for example, look innocent, so they don’t have to work as hard to convince people to accept or to trust them. Thieves who look innocent have an advantage for example. People who don’t look in the center however, oftentimes have to work extra hard to prove they are. A lot of criminals have this problem! When many people see someone who appears innocent for example, there’s a natural inclinations towards trusting that individual in many instances. And of course those people who do not appear to be innocent often provoke in us a natural inclination towards mistrust. Human nature?” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Even when man acts savagely towards his own, it works to GOD’S ends*! What, you didn’t think GOD had woven this into the fabric of HIS plan when HE created the universe and man? Everything in GOD’S universe serves a useful purpose! HE even wove into the fabric-of-the-universe [for each of us a remedy to] satan’s seemingly unfortunate plan to foil GOD’S! THAT’S JUST ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF KNOWING EVERYTHING; SEEING EVERYTHING; AND BEING “ALL MIGHTY”!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

*Unfortunately, not only is GOD’S plan thwarted… It’s not the offenders and the evil doers that foil GOD’S plan -so much as the victims! THAT’S RIGHT “THE VICTIMS” -GOD’S ULTIMATE PLAN HINGES ON MAN’S REQUIREMENT -OR STIPULATION THAT “HE ALSO BE ON BOARD WITH HIS PLAN”. WHETHER VICTIM, OR PERPETRATOR; THE REQUIREMENT TO BE WITH GOD (in the end) “IS TO CHOOSE GOD, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, SOMETHING GODLY -TO TURN AWAY FROM UNGODLY THINGS WITH A SINCERITY IN OUR HEARTS”. There has to be some good in us, and a willingness to choose the good in us over the bad at some point! We all have to make a choice** where our “eternal souls” will ultimately reside -since they cannot die! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

**One of the things woven into the fabric of the universe, and laid upon the shoulders of man is -That in life he must choose between the 2 dimensions he exists in. Put another way; the 2 most important choices laid at his feet from the very beginning -Whether he is to be a good man or a bad man. Whether he is to willfully choose the principles of GOD; or the principles of satan! Can you deny that both exist in our universe (as evidenced by man’s deeds)? Is not life itself comprised of one or the other? What would man’s life be with neither? Put in that light (the only light really -is there any other?), a decision one way or another seems unavoidable -don’t you agree?

FACEBOOK “GOD IS SMARTER THAN satan; but unfortunately -MOST MEN ARE NOT*!” 😔

*FOR EXAMPLE: It’s like I’ve always said “Alcohol is more cunning, baffling, and powerful than man. But the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous is more cunning, baffling, and powerful than alcohol”! Ever try changing the starter on your car with your own 2 hands, and no tools? We need GOD, and we need the tools GOD has availed us, if WE, and those we love, are to EMERGE VICTORIOUS with regard to the most important CHALLENGE we will ever face in our lives -BEING WITH GOD OR NOT IN THE END**!

**It’s the one choice in the universe that IS GUARANTEED TO US BY GOD THE ENTIRETY OF OUR LIVES!

It’s important to identify what’s pulling you down:

▪︎ This town

▪︎ The writings

▪︎ My family situation

▪︎ Perhaps the absence of my family

▪︎ Experiences over the last few months where I attempted to reach out to the world

▪︎ Concerns about the future and outcome of this relationship way heavy on my mind. My worth and my trust are very low.

▪︎ The direction this country is going in. People scrambling to stay above board financially and psychologically and emotionally and spiritually – We just can’t seem to pull our heads out of our a**’s!

▪︎Early Christian upbringing about about the wickedness of the world [has likely played an early role in (my foundation as well as others) laying a foundation of “rampant mistrust” in this country].

So what’s bringing you up:

▪︎ Maggie

▪︎ In pretty good health

▪︎ Accomplishment and the progress of the writings

▪︎ Being sober and clean

Some people when they speak, speak from the conscious mind. Some people when they speak, are speaking of their subconscious mind. 👍🏻

Sometimes we heap a little extra to our words because words cannot and capsulate the way we are feeling.

Man has to mix things up to see what and how it works. He has only just scratched the surface on the things that react together. His fallen ability tourism has left many of these things undiscovered.

Love is supposed to be messy and painful at times.

The mind is a very cunning thing – Sometimes we buy into our own b*******. Oftentimes as a matter of fact

Relationship advice: Stay out of the way and stay small!

How much of the things in life you participate in [in your relationships for example] have attitude that has no business being there?

Stay out of the way and stay small; Stay in your own lane and stay strong! STAY-SHARP! STAY-LOOSE! STAY-FOCUSED!

Don’t get discouraged and don’t get an attitude, just practice, practice, practice!

When a person decides to leave their partner; is it generally more about them or the other person?

People have long thought highly of Canada and its citizens. The way they take care of their own. The fact that they don’t get too involved in warlike conflicts. Is it by mistake that they seem tone of the few countries in the Western hemisphere being affected by global warming?

FAITH strengthens a man! Worrying weakens a man!

The problem with most relationships is they eventually become littered -leading to TOXICITY?

Relationships require a lot of time, effort, know-how! Things that all seem in short supply in modern America these days! And we wonder about the state of our relationship’s? You want to screw up a relationship cut back on time effort don’t know how and the result will be evident every single time!

If your partner trust you completely, and you are in fact completely trustworthy… you have done your job of conveying who you are.realistically; And they apparently have the ability to see who you are realistically. On the other hand, if you are having problems with trusting your partner…. Use the above criteria to evaluate…

The reason for mistrust and low self esteem in his country is self-evident:

▪︎ People really don’t know much about relationships so why wouldn’t they be suspicious that they’re partner may not be pleased with them and look elsewhere possibly?

▪︎ The other thing is that with the advent of television; and so much “good-fortune”, living in a somewhat pompous society, with an attitude of entitlement…

▪︎ Today, even those of us who are relatively healthy and know about relationchips -stand the risk of rejection or going unappreciated. Because so many people today are unhealthy “up is down” right is wrong” and “wrong is right” Can you think of a better definition of “dysfunctional”?

So how do you win in a society of this sort? GREAT QUESTION!

Hearing something one time in a key moment in a child’s life can be more powerful than hearing something a 1000 times

The combination of my family being so mistrusting while at the same time being so untrustworthy…. I believe has really f***** me up!

Some people hear the wrong thing, or never hear something they should have. We need to let these people know that what they heard as children were wrong; We need to tell these people the things they should have heard as a child and never did!

Not trusting in people and believing you aint worth a s*** as a bad combination. Especially when people come a callin’

One of the worst things you can do is mistrust or accuse a person who is trustworthy!
