FACEBOOK “When people care; it matters!” IN MEMORY OF MY DEAR FRIEND LENELLE

FACEBOOK “How can a person complain who has gotten more out of you than you have out of them? Some people manage to!”

FACEBOOK “It would not be entirely accurate to say that the world is filled with “takers”. But to say it is filled with “takers” and “non-givers” is more to the point.”

FACEBOOK “Don’t we all live in the same world? Then why so many different attitudes?” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Being drunk all-the-live-long-day, doesn’t leave much room for truly taking in ALL THE VARIATION life has to offer. Eventually, the variation itself begins to DWINDLE!

IN THE BEGINNING -i was afraid “the steps” wouldn’t work! I stalled, dragged out…

FACEBOOK “We live in a universe where [some] things work based on action: not attitude; or belief; or even FAITH*!”

*But you have to figure GOD being spiritual… That most things would operate off of an attitude, or belief, or Faith!

FACEBOOK “Most of us have no clue; the extent to which IMMATURITY effects our world!”

When we’re renovating… things always look worse, before they look better!

FACEBOOK “Sometimes the lies we tell ourselves 🤔; turn out to be “the truth”!”

Not our plan; GOD’S PLAN! Flexible/Teachable! To grow in the likeness of our CREATOR! As long as we continue to do THE [next] RIGHT THING” THINGS will continue to get better! One day a gal walked into the rooms of AA and said “I don’t know how you people do it”.

FACEBOOK “Most of my life people didn’t want me; but what do people know!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “If we keep doing the right thing, things will continue to get better even when they don’t appear to be -IT’S THE LAW!”

FACEBOOK “Artificial disadvantages COVID-19. Artificial advantages COVID-19. Things that affect ensuing generations at the dna level. Things that could bring about further evolution of man artificially rather than voluntarily. No more wars? No more breaking of laws? No more pain and suffering at the hands of one another? People no longer able to compete financially and monetarily and materially because of biologically imposed disadvantages?” SIDENOTE -IF GOD WOULD NOT VIOLATE MAN’S FREE-WILL; THEN WHO ARE WE TO DO SO? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ PEOPLE DONT HONOR THIS LAW BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT “GOD DOESN’T HAVE TO LIVE DOWN HERE AMONG US -WE DO!”.

FACEBOOK “Something appears to be interfering with the maturation of adults in this country. ANY OLD ADVANTAGE WILL DO”.

It took 33 years of failure, and loneliness, and pain for my attitude to begin to turn around so that I could actually participate in a real relationship.

FACEBOOK “One can begin to see how the increasing lack of respect for the law could eventually lead to the persecution of Christians who personify the ultimate law!”*

*Right now there are probably more Christians on this planet than non-christians. In an order for the persecution of christians to take place, you have to figure that there has to be a shift in those numbers over time. Which is what we’re seeing more and more of. Can’t even find people to fill the role of priests anymore.

FACEBOOK “A lot of people have this idea of what success in sobriety is – And when it doesn’t pan-out, they think sobriety is bunk. But that’s their idea of what success is in sobriety – not GOD’S! Think about it!” 🤔

FACEBOOK “They don’t put poor people in charge because there would be nothing left for the rich people [because poor people would have actual empathy for their “fellow sufferers”] .”

FACEBOOK “The system is slow to act because the system isn’t the one getting screwed over -people are! People who don’t have a say so! Now that makes a h*** of a lot of sense! They don’t put poor people in charge because there would be nothing left for the rich people. The people at the bottom you have contact with at corporate America don’t have the power to solve your problem much of the time. The ones that do, you can’t get in contact with. And if you can -it’s a hassle and a 1/2 to get there. How many times have I heard in the last 10 years “We can no longer do anything because the system will not allow it”. Then why are we being forwarded to people who can’t do anything to solve our problem? The human factor is being removed from the process. Actually, the people on top who don’t want to be charged, or take responsibility for errors on the part of their company -are the ones [in certain instances] stepping in and taking the power away from the bottom level. Because the people at the bottom often times have a sense of justice or fairness or a regard for old-fashioned customer service. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that this is being phased out, or taken out of the hands of the average American consumer who simply happens to be working for these companies -people with empathy”.

Man has a hard time of it regarding whether it is GOD talking to him or say Whether it is he lying to himself or he telling the truth to himself.

FACEBOOK “Two types of struggles: Hard times and harsh treatment. One is it the hands of man; The other can be lessened with the help of man.”

FACEBOOK “Man has always been inclined to do what he wants to do; rather than what he needs to do. That’s what was so special about turn-of-the-century America. The undying sense of loyalty, and responsibility, and ability and willingness to follow instruction!”

FACEBOOK “Sickness in man, this is “the root”! The more sickness that envelopes, engulfs mankind on this earth… the worse things are going to get!! WE MUST RESIST!!!!!!” 👊👊👊👊👊

FACEBOOK “I’m so tired of these apologies from these companies when you can tell by their voices there’s no sincerity in them -aren’t you? All this lack of any real integrity is GETTING VERY OLD! I mean do you remember the days when instead of apologizing -people made it right! That’s integrity!!!”

FACEBOOK “It’s no secret, trying to create advantages over one another. But it used to be that people took advantage of opportunities as they arose -They didn’t create advantages that usurped ethical & moral boundaries [atleast not as a common practice]. But that apparently seems to be going out the door.”

“My family is like the mob -it just dawned on me! No matter what you do for them if you are not a full blood member you’ll never be entirely accepted!”

FACEBOOK “Man wants mercy for himself and those he loves -and Justice with regard to those he cares little for.” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “IF THERE WAS NEVER A “GARDEN-OF-EDEN” 🤔 THEN WHY ARE SO MANY OF US [IN THIS COUNTRY – THROUGHOUT HISTORY IN FACT] “HELL-BENT” ON “PARADISE” [WINNING THE LOTTERY]?”

FACEBOOK “It’s better to be mistaken about being able to trust someone [and be hurt or screwed over], then to unjustly accuse [and hurt] them!”

FACEBOOK “Man quite often is a troubled, problematic creature -to himself, and to his fellows!”

FACEBOOK “What I want to know is what good are we doing one another personally in this day and age -MONO Y MONO?”

I’ve known for decades about the clickish attitude tegarding certain people in Alcoholics Anonymous!

FACEBOOK “There’s two kinds of people in the world:

● The kind who make things easier for those around them; ● The kind who make things harder for those around them.”

You can’t make up other people’s minds about how they feel about an individual just because you’ve made up your mind about them.

FACEBOOK “Not only should we not retaliate against those who offend us; We must extend our hands to such people -if we are to ensure peace in our world and unity among our own kind.”

FACEBOOK “Long after you get better [should you make the choice to set out on such a long and arduous journey]; THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO AREN’T! People who will continue to bring problems to you and to the world.”

If people knew what the world was really, they’d never leave their homes.

Very few people are capable of true love. Is it any wonder so many of us are so skeptical?

FACEBOOK “Some people; some people for example in our families -choose to remain sick because of the warped, inferior benefits of doing so!”

Everything is all right Rick -because you are living right!

At what age for example at 60 resembles your age as a youth as far as your strength and stamina?

2 things we sure about in meetings:

● Alcoholism [in the book]

● Anything threatening oir sobriety [anything -which many people have a problem coping with; they 🤔…].

FACEBOOK “Don’t you just love a person who complains about the person who is at poverty level getting a $1000 stimulus check while they and their spouse making a $150000 complain about not getting theirs? Wouldn’t it be better to let it go -and let the person below poverty get $2000 in stimulus? SOME PEOPLE MAN! I can’t for the life of me understand why people making a $150000 are even getting a stimulus check – Explain that one two me? What, they need help with stimulating the economy two?”

FACEBOOK “Too much of something and we humans are inclined to take it for granted. At some point we have to utilize conscious effort to counter this. Perhaps this is why God is not more liberal. Too little of something and a couple of things come to mind that can have: We can become obsessed; Become overly attached; OR 🤔, consumed.”

FACEBOOK “It’s utterly amazing how often man buys into his own nonsense and paranoia and arrogance and imagination. Right now I’m struggling with trust with my girlfriend who has been nothing short of amazing. And there are days when I believe I can’t trust her, when I buy into it actually!” WTFM 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Too many people are concerned with profit rather than the welfare of the American family nowadays!”

If somebody fellin love with you DRUNK, why would they stay in love with you sober?

You “give” long enough without expecting, or wanting in return; and you eventually become [are transformed into] a “giver” not a taker; a “giver” not “a giver and a taker”.

Applying principles in our relationship doesn’t always guarantee success; mainly because many people are unprincipled!

With some telationships one is asked to give more than give and take. We must decide if we’re OK with that!

Delayed rxn. in life and in relationships and in recovery.

Some people go into relationships NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY WANT; NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY

Relationships are hard enough without having to come back from a damaged one!

FACEBOOK “Too many people are concerned with profit rather than the welfare of the American family nowadays!”

FACEBOOK “When you act rightly in a relationship, it helps to have a partner who is able to respond appropriately; Not every relationship operates from this dynamic!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

That’s the thing, you can’t guarantee a response that is appropriate or sensible from mankind across the board! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

It’s easier and better to stay ahead of your relationship, and on top of it calm rather than to fall behind. It goes easier and is far better maintaining a positive relationship in your relationship rather than damaging it and then having to try and repair it and move forward. That’s what I’m trying to do today-keep the relationship as spotless as possible. Funny how many of us struggle to do that very thing. Once things start going South in a relationship, it can be very hard to turn back that moment on. Once there is the slightest bit of animosity or resentment in the relationship… And satan is a master of manipulation and exploitation of such circumstances for dining And satan is a master of manipulation and exploitation of such circumstances or dynamics! And remember Colin people far healthier and stronger than us struggle in relationships. So with regard to you and I who are weaker and unhealthy; We need all the help and advantage we can muster.

Some people appear to have a knack for matching calamity with Serenity; While others appear to have a knack for matching Serenity with calamity. 🙄🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “Maturity is an essential part in relationships-and from what I can see of late in our country that seems to be lacking more and moreamong our people! Maturity and sanity are the true keys to successful living and relationships.

MATURITY

SANITY

FLEXIBILITY

TEACHABILITY”

FACEBOOK “Relationships, first and foremost, or perhaps only; teach us about ourselves and force us to grow; or fail in our pursuit of them!” 🤷‍♂️

Even among the “worst-of-the-worst”, the ““least-of-the-least” there is a no. 1. So 🤔, being no. 1 ISN’T ALWAYS SAYING MUCH. IN CERTAIN CIRCLES WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS A NO.1; SOMETIMES THAT’S NOT WORTH MUCH! TIMES CHANGE AND SO DO “THE PLAYERS”. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

With enough time; most of us can learn anything. But man is oft in a hurry.

FACEBOOK “Once upon a time, doctors and lawyers were among the poorest. They were considered to be some of the most important jobs among our societies. To charge prices that would make it impossible for most people to afford, seemed unethical – But not today; To go into such a critically important field for the money, seemed immoral – But not today.” 🤷‍♀️😔🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ “What do Oskar Schindler and Alcoholics Anonymous have in common?”

FACEBOOK “Please GOD help me to be ‘A GOOD SOUL!'” 😇🙏🏻😇

FACEBOOK “Very few people are Blessed with a relationship that is [seemingly] “Heaven sent”. And among those of us who have been; How many of us fail to recognize that they have? How many of us take away from that Blessing rather than add to it?”

FACEBOOK “Some people are not all that intelligent; but something inside of them defies [transcends] that reality -GOD!”

When a certain opportunity comes along and a person is ready for it, open to it -magic! I’ve had partners that were good to me -and I didn’t respond very appropriately. And I’ve had partners that I was good to -that didn’t respond very appropriately. People come into Alcoholics Anonymous and don’t pick up on the program and stay sober But then they come back years later and -a different story completely

FACEBOOK “If we really knew what some people’s relationships were like, some would come to realize how unfortunate they really are; while others would come to realize just how fortunate they really are! But this cut off is what leaves us in the dark; and brings about all sorts of misunderstandings, misdirection, lack of change for the better, lack of true gratitude!”

FACEBOOK “Some people have a knack for matching calamity with Serenity; Others have an act for matching Serenity with calamity.”

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS:

● Keep things light*;

● Compliment and build each other up continually*.

*THE MIRROR-OPPOSITES TO THOSE THINGS 🤔 -WHICH TEND TO DESTROY; WEAR-DOWN RELATIONSHIPS**!

**Relationships require constant tending to [albeit some moreso than others].

Things Dale taught me:

Don’t be a know-it-all

FACEBOOK “All we have to do is be good to one another* – And all the world’s problems are solved!. But how we accomplish that; is the most important thing of all -GOD!!!!!!!!!”

*So, through simple deductive reasoning 🤔, one could conclude that the problem in the world quite simply is this: That at any given time; at any given place; regarding any given individual: THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMAN-KIND: IS NOT GOOD TO ONE ANOTHER 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️]!

FACEBOOK “I realized last night with great clarity that 🤔: After years of counseling; and perhaps trying to get better for my own personal motives [you get into this sort of “groove” with regards to “self-improvement”]; you begin to recognize eventually, that at some point what remains, or rather 🤔, you begin to slowly come to the “quite astonishing realization” [as the scales begin to tip more and more] is… “MY OWN FLAWED; AND DISTINCT NATURE*!”.

*”MY OWN DISTINCT; AND FLAWED NATURE!”

FACEBOOK “We are who we are [or where we’re at rather 🤷‍♂️]. Some of us need that one special person know to bring out who we are. On the other end of the spectrum, there are others who are who they are with everyone. And sometimes, the former can become the latter through the help of that one special person!” ☺👍🏻

Everything is designed with us in mind. We’ll, some might argue otherwise lol

Can you live with choosing an inferior path to the one GOD laid out for you? Like it or not, most of us will inevitably. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “It’s a wonderful feeling; it’s a powerful feeling: Having hindsight 20/20 “with another opportunity laying out before you” [which doesn’t happen often enough -or would that be “just enough”]. I destroyed a couple of relationships that I really wanted. Now, I am in a relationship I really want, once again. Only this time, I know that: It’s mine to [scratch that]; It’s [almost] like being able to go back to those other relationships and make a different choice* [AH YES BY GEORGE 🤔 -THAT’S IT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️].”

*And how many of us have had that eery feeling of wishing we could go back; Wishing we could turn back the hands of time; Wishing we could do “a do-over”!

I don’t know about “nothing happens by mistake”: But I know that in GOD’S universe, on a spiritual level: That there aren’t many mistakes where good can’t come of it -with the right effort; and the right attitude!

Man quite often does things when he wants to calm up the way he wants to! This is the essence of self will. But not necessarily when and how the universe requires it. This was the beauty of turn of the century America-people who learned more or less to do the right thing when it was required or asked or even demanded of them for a short time. The flip side of this coin is that even when people do the right thing at the right time -certain individuals will react negatively because they themselves are not on board with the universe.

Some people have a great memory -when it serves them!

Alot of businesses could have raised their prices long before they did, and got away with it. But for various reasons; Poor management; No need to; Consideration for the public… THEY DIDN’T!

“Who’s the one NOT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND?” 🤔

What changes in you if you relapsed? Me -EVERYTHING!

“IM CERTAIN SOMETHING ISNT QUITE RIGHT!”

What’s going on with my family affects my attitude towards the world in general -and unfairly so. It affects my attitude towards GOD! It affects my attitude in my relationship with my girlfriend!

Reciprocate!

Make the world a warmer place not a colder place or an indifferent place.

People are actually stupid enough in this day and age to believe we don’t need one another.

There’s something really wrong with a whole generation or even 2 or 3 of them wanna go back to The Times they knew rather than The Times they live in.

If I wanted any more out of my GF than I’m already getting; it would be harmful; it would be infringing on GOD!

Maybe there are some things in my relationship I want to do that I can’t do. Giving and expecting nothing in return is the challenge with limitations for the majority of us as much as we would like to extend ourselves beyond our own capabilities what happens can turn out to be quite problematic.

Many people are unwilling. Many of those who are -don’t have the strength, THE FORTITUDE! So that leaves…???

OK here’s what I’ve come up with in half an hour lol, tell me what you think:

● I think we should keep everything as it is except we should open up communications at night. I’ve offered a couple of times in the past and you haven’t responded very is very significant. That’s a red flag for me. During the week when you have trouble sleeping I want you to reach out to me I think it will cement our band sense of security more. During the weekends I think there should definitely be some interaction. Especially given the lengthy period of time that you’ve go to sleep and awaken 10 hours plus.

● I don’t think we should simply manipulate the hours. That’s not going to broaden our foundation any. As our feelings are increasing we need more of a foundation. So coming over from 12 to 6 now and changing that from 3 to 9 to get in the later hours really doesn’t accomplish much in my opinion. I think we should set a couple of days out of the month where you stay additional time on a Friday night. Saturdays and Sundays were together all day so I think it’s OK that we just keep the hours the way they are to allow ourselves a little space and so you can get things done and visit with your son because he too is subject to only having you part time because of work and the time we also spend thereafter for a couple of hours. It’s only a couple of days out of the month, unless u want Fridays regularly. We can see how that goes and adjusted from there. If it’s a problem for him I’m not going to argue about it because until he finished the school I believe he is and should be your priority. But I also believe he is at that age now where he needs to start letting go a little bit. And if not now certainly between now and the end of the year we need to start considering that.

● The other thing that I feel is appropriate at this time is that you start considering the possibility of separation issues. I’m guessing given some of the experiences both the boy and the girl had early in life will bring about some developmental issues at some point. Possibly affecting his ability to move out on his own. Especially since he spends so much time in the home now and not out there actively interacting with the world. So that something you might want to prepare for. Something we perhaps need to be prepared for. I think I understand that the girl has been going to school and spending much of that time living with her stepmother? So another question raised is this, if Jack decides he wants to go to school and wants to do the live with mom thing in college… How do you and how the both of us feel about another 4 years?

● The other thing that I’ve noticed and observed over the years is that people have a lot of difficulty leaving this place. I get the feeling there’s a phenomenon here or a rut that is comfortable to people in this small town with all its problems. I want you to consider that if Jack does have trouble leaving once he is out of high school that the dynamic is going to shift. That for a number of reasons he will no longer and should no longer be the center of your world. That once he becomes a vage our relationship needs to take an equal footing in your life and no longer a back seat to raising your son. Not that it’s a matter of competition but that it’s the natural order of things and healthy for everyone. That you need to have a life and that the sacrifice needs to begin to taper off. And should we decide that that while in school he is going to stay with us that we are not gonna be tied to this dreadful area regardless of his desire to stay here with friends or familiar surroundings. I don’t want that to be another reason for us being stuck here. He will have to be the one to make the adjustments to our new life to a reasonable extent.

● And the last thing that just came to mind was that I love our intimacy together but I think this having to rush off afterwards is unsettling to the relationship. It’s been on my mind and I think we should be able to have evenings where we are not rushed after making love. 🤷‍♂️

WHAT THINK LUVEE?

●GOD KNOWS WHAT HEA DOING BUT WE OFTEN THINK WE KNIW BETTER -CAN WE SEE THE FUTURE, AL THE FACTS?

●GROWTH

●ITS NOT JUST ABOUT US

●Better to belive in GOD….

●Childhood experiences…

I used to say that if we had a real choice between God and our lives and not in our lives we should be able to be happy and farewell either way instead of needing GOD!

Partners who presumably are invested but fall asleep on you after a disagreement Sleep is generally the thing that is disrupted when somebody is. I’ll invest it early in the relationship if you have a disagreement and they just fall right asleep

Grumbling about the rising prices and still paying them is not sending a message to corporate America. Grumbling about it and not paying it is!Every time we paid these escalating prices, corporate America is thinking about their next move and what they can get away with next. What do people in places of power have to say about Christmas and Easter? Are they still places of high reverence or merely another day of the year for higher revenues and profits?Don’t you get it American public -the more you want something, and the more all of us want something, the higher the price you’re going to pay? The more you want something -the more it’s gonna cost you!Man looks at it from “a certain angle” GOD looks at it “FROM EVERY ANGLE”! GOD SEES TNINGS THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE; Man on the other hand… 🤔Half the time man gets it wrong; the other half of the time he doesn’t care.We’re separated, GOD is not; THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE!The issue has always been “PERSONALITY” OR “POISONALITY”. Ray doesn’t impose personalityMan cannot make the sun come up but eventually perhaps he will.The fact that corporate America keeps taking away more and more of what once was.. Should give you some indication of just how good life was 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.When people care; it mattersHow can a person complain who has gotten more out of you than you have out of them? Some people manage to!It would not be entirely accurate to say that the world is full of “takers”. But to say it is full of takers and “non-givers” is more to the point. A lot of things about society bother me that don’t bother them. Like when people walk by and don’t talk to each other. So what should I do? Should I do something a little more radical so that they can feel the same way I do? Life is filled with indifferent people. But that irks the h*** out of me. What if I want them to feel the same way I’m feeling?

If people can show initiative when rubbed the wrong way -then they should be able to show initiative by being kind!

There’s 2 types of issues that arrise in relationships:

● People acting inappropriately;

● The other is people acting appropriately; and the other partner still having a problem with it or thinking it’s inappropriate*.

* And of course, we all have different ideas about what’s inappropriate and what’s appropriate which is very interesting considering that we are supposedly at the top of the ladder And of course, we all have different ideas about what’s inappropriate and what’s appropriate which is very interesting considering that we are supposedly at the top of the ladder among GOD’S creatures! You would think there would be more unification with regards to something so crucial. But man is a creature who loves to see things as he chooses -even to the detriment of his own welfare as a species!

Partners who presumably are invested but fall asleep on you after a disagreement Sleep is generally the thing that is disrupted when somebody is. I’ll invest it early in the relationship if you have a disagreement and they just fall right asleep

if some women can be open to men, friendly… and remain safe in the process 🤔, then why can’t all women?

■Jetlag, 100% committed, 100% present

■100% invested, our relationship we’ve decided is very serious

■100% access

People here in my experience are highly uninvested in their relationships -lethargic.

I’ve also known a lot of women here who cheated on their husbands an their partners. Have you had a lot of experience with infidelity? I have on both ends.

There is a difference between not responding to something in your relationship because you never had it in previous ones, and not being interested at all in that particular dimension or dynamic in that relationship. I like to engage my partner that I’m not living with sometimes in the middle of the night. Some people are not accustomed to this and their previous relationships and other people are not interested in. So that’s the difference. People who are interested but unfamiliar with it may take a while to get on board. People who are interested may show interest initially and then taper off.

As we grow older and our strength and agility and other things begin to wane… Things that offset are niabity and lack of experience. Our experience and ongoiing sense of wisdom should replace the younger things of strength and agility and so forth.

Many people in relationships get caught up in a cycle or a battle. And of course there partners begin to become resentful or lose respect for them even though they also are responsible how you from but people don’t often think about it that way. When their partner does something to rub them the wrong way they begin to push back rather than hold their ground anchor the relationship when it is drifting or unsteady.

FACEBOOK “Over time, you want your partner to develop greater love and respect for you -not less!”

If there’s no GOD then why are there trees and the moon and the stars and why is the sky so beautifully blue -so indescribably blue?  Just try to imagine our world without these things. There are a lot of things that man would like to add to God’s perfect creation, but when you think about what he did give us come it’s very hard to imagine life without them wouldn’t you agree?

Actually, people in certain areas who would otherwise not tolerate their fellow human beings, do so because of Christ’s message!

GOD BLESS people; not [your] things]! 🤔

The greater the “fear” the greater the “Faith” required! Isn’t that “a good thing”?

Manipulate the heart, not the environment!

Never turn away from difficult situations -affording you the opportunity to do some good!

If Alcoholics have to do without alcohol in 10% of the population -then why shouldn’t homosexuals have to do without a relationship in 10% of the population 🤔 since GOD doesn’t approve of either -what’s the difference? Both love what they love and both are, or were, initially defiant to GOD and nature! Man has always rationalized and defied, God’s decrees.

You have a better chance of your property being spared by praying to GOD for the thieves themselves -rather than for your property.

Clone thieves. People create clones exactly like u to steal, i.e. go in bank get in box.

Animals have a basic code they all live by in order to survive. Why can’t we human beings? The answer is -because we are so advanced in certain areas we think we don’t have to be in others. We use compensation. Like for example com having a big army to protect us means that we don’t have to be United within the walls of our own country. Well that’s a bunch of c***. It also means we think we can get by without trusting one another. Well that’s a bunch of c***

I’m so tired of how we run around trying to lure or attract certain people -while trying to reject others at our own whim, peril…

Man was granted a free will by God himself-and oftentimes we like letting others know it!

It’s sad that so many people out there are willing to pay the price not to change. It’s sad for them, and it’s sad for us -who have and are. Because as long as there is someone in the picture who is not willing to change and pay the price, we will all continue to suffer. Because we all know such a person!

The more you are willing to accept -the less you have to change [you? PPT?]; The more you are willing to change -the less you have to accept.

Long underwear that keep you cool like the heated underwear but with freon.

I’ve spent the majority of my life trying to change the world, trying to change people. It doesn’t work. The fact of the matter is most people don’t want to change too much or too quickly. They definitely don’t want to change because of your will for them to do so in most cases.

We need to train and prepare each new generation for life. But not to the extent that they pose a threat to us in our own survival and thriving. NOTE: We humans are so preoccupied with our own well being. I know I am. I’m so worried about being hurt by another human being.

Are people doing what they do, do people feel forced to do what they do -based upon survival, or something more excessive? Most people in the world are trying to survive -but in this country, there are so many people trying to do so much more. NOTE: It used to be that people were occupied only with survival. Now it appears that as man evolves he has added a couple more wrinkles.

What do you need to do in this situation Rick? To support her in what she needs to do, and; still be there for her. Exactly!

When your partner is no longer invested or concerned -that is when you should worry. People call nagging -but it’s a vested interest no matter how you look at it. People call it being insecure -but it’s a vested interest no matter how you look at it

If you are worried about your partner’s welfare in a given situation -that’s love; If you are worried about their sexual conduct in a given situation -that’s ego!

I’ve heard the philosophy you never really know a person and I’ve also heard the philosophy human beings are capable of anything. I think I sort of have a policeman’s mentality who has seen too much of the wrong things and human being.

If you are completely trustworthy and I am struggling to trust you then there is a problem. But with 3 variables attached:

● The length of time we’ve known each other

● The job you do

● I have restrictions in your life you do not have any in mine.

* Is it the case perhaps that you need a stronger more confident man? Or 🤔 Someone who hasn’t seen the things I’ve seen and been taught by word or by deed to see the world so wickedly.

** I feel vulnerable

*** Waiting for the other shooter drop

**** If there’s a problem with me then let’s fix it 🤷‍♂️

*****Largely sexual or intimacy component in all this

******No strong family ties with family to counteract the Betrayal of other family members

*******classic mistrusts symptoms given my background

Maggie thinks she’s the problem but is she?

TRIGGERS????????

I find myself trying to evaluate if there are valid reasons for my mistrust or concern Where am I being rational and where am I being irrational?.

☆☆☆☆☆ People who have trauma based trust issues in a society that is untrusting and doesn’t have trauma based trust issues??? What to do???🤔

From a certain context my life is transparent. No downtime in our communications and no restrictions on you’re coming and going in any area of my life.

“I’m certain something is not right; something is going on!”

When you’re chasing someone you don’t push them away! You push them away when they’re chasing you! But yyou can’t have a relationship like that!

People who tend to put a lot of trust or weight in themselves, tend to believe their own b******* rather than the facts before them!

You never know how your issues are going to effect or be received by your partner:

● Some people reject to them;

● Some people embraced them;

● Some people need them.

Every relationship presents its own risks. Except the one with GOD! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

Life will always present situations which require faith. People who lack this precious commodity have a hard time of it.

There’s faith that people will hurt you and their space that people will not hurt you. Each presents its own comforts and its own risks and it’s own consequences!

WHEN LIFE IS GOOD; satan takes us to another time, another place that isn’t. Sometimes being satiated servers his purpose; sometimes chaos and worry. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I realized last night with great clarity that 🤔: After years of counseling; and perhaps trying to get better for my own personal motives [you get into this sort of “groove” with regards to “self-improvement”; you begin to recognize eventually, that at some point what remains, or rather, you begin to

A lot of things I’ve wanted in life have laid around come to pass. A lot of times Weaver forget we have been asked for them.. We even forget we asked GOD for them. Like awesome salt and pepper hair or silver hair -25, 30 years ago. 🤷‍♂️

Faith is something I’ve struggled with all my life. But not with faith you are going to screw me over. Go through life without faith and situations and life that require it is too make why make life hard going-just about impossible! Faith come I believe wove into the fabric of resistance. So much so calm that we cannot live without it and not suffer intense and severe repercussions. Now about giving: Basically comrades what it says it is. We give to give. When we give and receive or give to receive we’re not giving. When we look to get back more than what we’ve given, then we’re not giving we’re taking. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

We get flooded with b******* on the Internet, b******* offers calm and when the real ones come along we… When the real ones that are required by law come along come up with ignore them too and the individual tied to that obligation benefits -see how man works. It’s like being in the computer Tech business and flooding the market with viruses so people can call you and have you repair them. A lot of people are very devious and society. The thing of it is it doesn’t take many of them before we start feeling uneasy about the whole lot.

NEVER STOP REACHING HIGHER; DEEPER; IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP[S]!*

*JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING -INITIALLY- DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD “GIVE-UP” ESTABLISHING A NEW PATTERN IN OUR LIVES OFTEN PRESENTS A CHALLENGE!!! AND THAT’S PERFECTLY -NORMAL!

AA HAS NEVER ASKED ME TO DO ANYTHING HARMFUL, OR HUMILIATING* TOWARDS MYSELF, TOWARDS OTHERS!

*I’ve done plenty of things both harmful and humiliating, both towards self, and towards others!

IF YOU DON’T HIRT YOURSELF, OR ANOTHER HUMAN-BEING, YOU”VE GOT 90% OF THE AA PROGRAM DOWN! PERHAPS TOO “THE TEACHINGS OF “CHRISTIANITY”: OR IS IT 10% 🤔

pick a sponsor who shares experiences you can relate to, and; and who says things you don’t want to hear -lol

Very few people manage to “entirely-squelch” their true-feelings about things that bother>ed] them.

How can we expect God to protect… How can we expect God to protect our homes in our valuables when there are so many people out there poor and so many people out there sick and neglected in terms of their welfare and getting better?

My own parents and my grandparents on my father’s side never enjoyed a successful happy relationship. My Uncle’s relationship on my father’s side seems fairly successful and helpful. The relationship on my father’s side with his sister and her husband seems cold and at time unfriendly – So that doesn’t seem to give much positive history in relationships on that side of the family. And as for my mom’s side?

Growing up in an irrational home we learn or we can deduce as individuals I mean cothat even our own rational behavior and attitude may not necessarily be received as such. Appreciated or recognized.

Watching everyone is not the principle we want to live by in this country! -it’s most unaffective!

… It’s not just the way -made it but the way we’re made!

GOD, THE GREAT LOVER -HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY “OMG” WHEN CLIMAXING?

That’s why other people don’t get involved in others wrong doing – Fear of retaliation or reprisal! But there’s something greater to be gained than there is to be lost -always!

Man wants vengeance on the front end while GOD generally on the back end! Also, what man wants is not usually vengeance anyways. It’s actually a warped mixture of things.

There is stuff in the world grossly underprised!

Civilized people don’t fight over someone cutting in front of them in line. And civilized people don’t cut in front of people in line.

FACEBOOK “Man is very good at fighting and struggling for what he wants; but not so good at fighting and struggling against what he wants! Man is very good at seeking out satisfaction; but not very good at gaining merit!”

* Not so much what he needs!

FACEBOOK” “So many young and attractive people think they can get by with the outsides rather than the insides [By perhaps being present but not accountable or courteous]. It’s our fault for teaching them they can -in many instances!”

FACEBOOK “WE live in a society filled with egos and the constant thought of sex or that people have sex on their minds. You approach an attractive [American] woman* -and there’s a very good chance she’s either going to be egotistical or think you’re approaching or because you have sex on your mind. And this just creates barriers.” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

* If you listen to the interview about the song “American Woman” by Burton Cummings; you’ll understand this commentary.

● Instead of seeing my position as selfish or controlling, she sees it as an asset to the relationship or something worth going to the trouble of with regard to my own personal place in the relationship at the moment

● She’s willing to listen and make adjustments

● She’s not only invested but devoted

● She has a maturity to her that affords us “That affords this a type of relationship that would otherwise not be possible”

● She’s thoughtful, giving, supportive and complimentary •all things which build rather than tear [us] down!

● She keeps it simple, and light ▪︎ even though she is intelligent, and therefore highly aware

● Unlike so many before her, she is not shut down emotionally ▪︎ and she sees in me “things” few other woman have ever been willing or able to see

Being mistrusting is one thing; being a wimp is another.

The woman i am in a relationship with today tells me a hell of a lot about the women i’ve been involved with in relationships in the past. And perhaps other women out there I’ve been involved with in the past and can say the same.

Some people are not “love-oriented” towards humanity. They ate more “defensive-minded” or “offensive-oriented” even. This type of attitude-the latter two… ate easily recognizable and and only serve to perpetuate “a separatist-society”.

Be watchful for when you start “slipping away” from meetings -little-by-little!

I would ask GOD to take away all my defects if I thought HE would-but HE WON’T! IN FACT, “I HAVE ASKED”.

Why continually talk from, or about book in meetings when you call always do so on our own time!

FAITH: Highly geared towards humanity -for some odd reason given so many have been so unreliable, or; low in their standards!

You can us GOD as a tool, or; have a relationship with HIM!

●In childhood GOD… represented by “FLAWED-PEOPLE” who often spoke of GOD but were often hypocritical!

●Changing your starter! Self-sufficiency was fine as far as it went, but it didn’t go far enough!

2 kinds of learning fisabilities:

●Volitional

●Non-volitional

It’s absolutely dumbfounded that 🤔 there are people who are uncertain, or certain there is no GOD! Whose life hasn’t GOD touched??????

I have faith in man letting me down! Faith in drugs and alcohol!

Given our choices, given our past; why would any alcoholic want a punishing, or even “just” GOD!!!!

1st/3rd of my life was miserable at the hands of others, 2nd/3rd myself!

MY PUNISHMENT FOR “A LIFE OF DEBAUCHERY” AA [HOW TO LIVE RIGHT]!

People worry about things that don’t add up to nothing at all. Is there a rule that says you have to worry about things that do -I DON’T THINK SO -BESIDES 🤔 I’M SURE “THAT WORKS” FOR “SOME PEOPLE”! 🤷‍♂️

Some relationships have some cushion some don’t.

Many men don’t believe in blessings; they believe in profits! Many men don’t believe in faith; they believe in stockpiling.

When I came to Alcoholics Anonymous for the final time [I pray], I was through drinking; but I wasn’t through with all the drama by a long stretch!

The 2/2-rule;

● Took on too much –God never gives us more, but we often; 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

● Didn’t take advantage of all the suggestions;

#1‐offender –Resentment

#2‐offender –Things start getting better; things start getting back to normal.

We live in a country, we live in a day-and-age where change [for profit, exhilaration…] is the order of the day! If only man would be willing to shine that light on his own character!

A Person with high expectations will think low of most people. A person with low expectations will think high of most people. And really seemed high of the best people. You see, it really works out better that way!

Give man a plausible reason for wanting to escape and he will take it and run with it. Aside from survival itself, life was fairly serene for many people in history and therefore there was no need to escape Additionally, they were busy trying to survive if you want to call that and escape. In today’s fast paced world full of stress and worry… Worry about trusting one another, Compounded by worry about things we have acquired and the fact that we are surrounded by so many people of low character and values trying to get it by whatever means they can This sets a lot of stress. And hence we tried to escape. We try to escape through constant change. We try to escape by running to things rather than one another -whom we seem to be running away from more and more. We run away by constantly doing rather than being as someone once stayed. We seek change even to the detriment of what already is working for us. That’s how badly we feel the need to escape. We even look for things to change that don’t need changing.

Oftentimes we’re critical of the negative things we see in life and in others – But perhaps what is an even greater transgression is being critical of the beauty GOD has created -LAYED BEFORE US!

APRIL 4TH 2023

LOVER HER -THAT’S ALL! 🤷‍♀️

●Being an Alcoholic

●Not being on meds

●Being sober as long as I have

●Living in a world riddled with non-godly attitudes/behaviors

●Being in a relationship

●Have logged alot of “HARD-MILES” over the years and really need to be good to yourself!

REASONS TO BE [MORE] DILIGENT ABOUT OUR “SPIRITUAL-MAINTENANCE”

ALL THE ABOVE REQUIRE THAT I BE EXCEPTIONALLY VIGILANT WITH REGARDS TO: “THE MAINTENANCE OF MY SPIRITUAL CONDITION”.

Some relationships more than others require a person to be proactive. In the most uncommon relationships however, the only thing a person asks is that you refrain from such things as abuse or infidelity or neglect.

Man is highly limited as it is without limiting himself further!

You can’t have a community with people ignoring each other or mistrusting each other.

Some people are the same with all people -but not everyone!

Try not to say anything, try not to say anything in such a way as to be misconstrued.

WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH FROM “THOSE IN CHARGE”!

T.O.Y.S. TIRED OF YOUR SINS

#1 problem in the world perhaps: Man’s inability to overlook or let something go!

Very few people can veer from their nature under bad conditions or good conditions.. True or false? True or false for the most part?

God sometimes gives us messages through other people -literally!

The more you’ve been through and the more you have resolved, the more you have to offer. It’s one thing to be able to share the problems you’ve been through in life; It’s another thing to be able to share the solutions you found and applied in your life.

Some men carry with them a sexual appetite While others do not.

Learn to be happy WHILE LIFE IS HAPPENING!

JESUS had the ability to be “the ultimate micro-manager” and HE didn’t! That tells us MOST THINGS DONT MATTER, IF THEY DID HE WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THEM PERFECTLY! THERE WAS SOME, AND END-GAME[?] INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT THAT “DID NOT REQUIRE” MICRO-MANAGING”! CLEARLY!!!!

The only person who ever gets everything the want out of life is by WANTING [embracing as GOD’S will] every thing [just the way] life hands it to them!

ONE key to life is being happy while facing it not while running away from it!”

H***, we already paid taxes when we bought it now we’re gonna pay taxes when we sell it?

TWO definitions of a learning disability:

1] Struggles with learning beyond one’s control;

2] Refusal to learn by choice!

Being happy facing life versus controlling it, or running away from it! Maybe happiness isn’t the word! Joy, at peace, serene, remaining connected -to your GOD!

These companies are like a baby looking for a t** -when they demand their payments!

We’re only limited to our balance between our humanness and our spiritualness..

In light of a serious tragedy, when the finger gets pointed a the people of power come or gets pointed at people who are of importance to people in power… they tend to use their power to thwart the pursuit of Justice.

If you have the least bit of animosity you carry towards humanity… In order to be considered a good person you should at least be willing to ask to have that removed or work towards its removal. This presence can be devastating to any relationship if gone unaddressed, or overlooked.

When a person goes to their partner stating that they feel they have been treated unjustly; and that partner by nature [or whatever reason 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️] is an unjust person… 😔 Equality is extremely important in a relationship. By what I mean -fairness and Justice… A person who is unjust will not allow such a thing to exist in a relationship.

Being fair is not meritorious but being more than fair is meritorious!

What selfishness basically entails is taking away from others what is rightly theirs [infringing in whatever form]. for our own gain!

Corporate America acts like we need them. I don’t need them. But the problem is the majority of… or a certain number of people in this country who are consumers act as if they do -and that’s what opens the gate for arrogance on the part of corporate America taking liberties with us. That’s how the game is played. Our very ignorant “fellow-consumers” place us in this position.

Love thrives in the face of risk while the financial world [EMPIRES] quiver! Love is an inexhaustible resource while money is a finite one. When the stock of love goes up the stock of money goes down. When the stock of love goes down the stock of money goes up. Money is limited while love is not.

Don’t take the world too seriously -it doesn’t know what it’s doing!

Just as Maggie probably should have left Reece -I should have left on Ana -because it’s not good for them either! We have to give them the impetus to want to change as well! And they’re never going to do that as long as we stick around.

“DON’T TAKE THE WORLD TO SERIOUSLY” it’s like “A BAD COMEDY”: The thing you have to remember about corporate America is they’re offering you all these things to get what they can out of you do things for you. It’s a little bit confusing. But the bottom line is that America, credit card companies afford you credit for what they can get out of you and not because they’re being good, kind, generous to you. And only to the extent they feel safe doing so will they abide or…. If at any point they feel at risk of losing what they are in it for…. At risk of losing…. They will pull the plug! I got a $2000 credit limit on a credit card and got reduced down to 1300 I’ve been just like that! Never even made my 1st payment or missed it [due 3 weeks from now WTF? 🤷‍♂️]. It’s not personal but it is!

We pass on the drinking to one another generation after generation after generation after generation after generation

S.T.D. Is spiritually transmitted diseases

The 1st dumb question is when we have a problem with corporate America who incorporated America are we supposed to speak to? It seems almost a non entity and yet it has a present that pervades so much of everything else in our society. The people who we are given access to don’t have the power to do anything. The people that do, we are not allowed access to. Do you see how man operates! GOD is the head of all heads -and he is always open and available!

The thing about the spiritual game is growth! And that only happens when we generally don’t get what we want. With regard to where human beings, how often does GOD get what HE wants -SELDOM! So, we’re walking in the likeness of our creator and in HIS shoes! When we want things are away, justified or not… we have a tendency to thwart this natural or rather unnatural process of growth!

I still have a tendency to pretend life is here for me; Rather than hear to help me grow in the likeness of my Creator! 🤷‍♂️ Pretending helps me to initially avoid consternation. But on the back end it only makes it worse!

Life and it’s people come are not here to serve me! H***, they’re not even here to be fair -in many instances! I thought relationships were a candy store for this kid. In reality, they are perhaps the greatest impetus to my growth and maturity if I am willing to go along with it in that light! All right Laura I can sit and rebel and wine like a little child not getting his way! God knows I did that for many-a-decade!

A lot of things that end some relationships -only strengthen others! Like our partner “RELAPSING”!

IF MONEY IS POWER -THEN WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO EAGER TO GIVE IT AWAY? GIVE AWAY TO THOSE ALREADY WIELDING POWER OVER THEM? “BRAINWASHING”

Some people are able to take in at depth, at considerable depth, the experiences of their personal-relatiinships -that satiated oat the level intended by OUR BELOVED CTEATOR! Most are unable, or… unwilling to!

Some things we want to happen without doing them. Other things cannot not happen IF EE ARE ONLY WILLING TO DO THEM! Something requires very little and the rewards and benefits are HUGE! Other things require great effort and are of very little benefit or reward -and yet 🤔 how often do we pursue “THE LATTER” as opposed to “THE FORMER”?

One of the hardest things mankind struggles with 🤔 “CARING” & “SHARING”!

“FAT” cubed and sold as a commodity. Food w/o it becomes the standard while paying to have it becomes “A LUXURY”! Far-fetched????? Not based upon the direction man is headed in and capable of!

ADD, ADHD PUT US AT A DISADVANTAGE GETTING THE BEST PARTNE4. AND THE BEST JOBS -SURVIVING & THRIVING IN GENERAL! IS MAN AT THE ROOT OF THIS -HE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ADVANTAGE OVER OTHERS -AND IT APPEARS THAT THE POSSIBILITIES IN THIS UNIVERSE, BOTH GOOD AND BAD, ALONG WITH MAN’S [INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL] OWN POTENTIAL BOTH GOOD AND BAD APPEARS TO BE LIMITLESS, BOTTOMLESS!

☆☆☆☆☆The principles in the BIG-BOOK Zof Alcoholics Anonymous take on a whole nee meaning when, once we begin to apply them to every day situations in our lives.

☆☆☆☆☆ I knew bout every 3rd line in the book of AA about my problem -but once I read the book…

PEACE & SERENITY BY FOLLOWING THE RULES OF THE UNIVERSE -NOT BY CHALLENGING; NOT BY SUBVERTING THEM!

If you cannot love EVERYONE -then how can you claim to overcome ANYONE! 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

What rights do we have dealing with corporate America and what rights do corporate America have dealing with us? It should be on an equal playing field correct?

Not everyone who is happy is satisfied or content! Not everyone who is happy is satisfied or content!

Out of 20 people in a volatile situation how many truly give a d*** about the individual at the heart of it all? How many know what the h*** to do?

Great examples of GOD shining yhrough human-beings abound everywhere! But I refused to see, and therefore LEARN!

It’s better to be miserable & humble than to be happy and arrogant!

Placebo, prayer, quantum physics… “and alot of people, these people believe GOD IS “HERE” BUT MOT “THERE” 🤷‍♂️

The greatest gift of all is the person who places GOD first but; I have heard it said THE GREATEST ACHIEVERS IN ANY GIVEN DISCIPLINE ARE THOSE WHO WORK TIRELESSLY -NOT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIFTED!

I can be in a benign environment; also acting benign, and yet in mind…

Getting over our past choices, our past behaviors… getting over our past examples and teachings growing up… can both be extraordinarily formidable.

Always keep in mind that aside from the very bad examples you grew up with, there are many good examples of what human beings can and should be like as well to replace those old lessons and ideas

JESUS experienced more sadness, more joy than any man to walk the Earth -WHY? He saw more things than any mansaw them for what they were on a deeper level than any other man. Some people have earmarks of these traits and therefore they feel more…

There’s the human standard and there’s the spiritual standard. Or calm of the human standard and the GOD standard!

I wonder why I feel one way when I’m in a situation as it unfolds and then another way when I think back about it? This happens often. Most times I feel it’s a good idea just to go with the feeling I had in the moment while it was actually right in front of me occurring.

Companies don’t generally do things if it’s not to their advantage. So, if it’s not to the advantage of the consumer to take away lay away’s like Bass Pro Shops has done, and how is it turned out to be to the advantage of the store?

You weren’t that bad and other people aren’t that good. ON proper SELF-WORTH! And vice versa!

People who are happy don’t sit around worrying about their relationships and what their partners are doing when they’re not in their presence.

Judgmentalness and self accountability do not usually go hand-in-hand-although they seem to have found a route on this history of 2023 with Maggie’s mother Deb WOW!!!! -prayer’s answered!

I’ve always felt that the healthiest were the strongest relationships, you can tell your partner anything about your past and they will still love and accept you and be there. Of course most relationships are not made of this sort of metal. So people, perhaps wisely? Preserve some of their past.

Everyone should have one person in their life that they are most important too. Everyone should have at least one person in their life that they are the most important to!

You can only speak so much about anything. After that it becomes counter productive. After that it loses its potency.

Those are not your thoughts to own RICK; But how you respond to those are yours to own! “The devil is in “the details”

Grumbling about the rising prices and still paying them is not sending a message to corporate America. Grumbling about it and not paying it is! Every time we paid these escalating prices, corporate America is thinking about their next move and what they can get away with next.

What do people in places of power have to say about Christmas and Easter? Are these still days of high reverence or merely another day of the year for higher revenues and profits?

Don’t you get it American public -the more you want something, and the more all of us want something, the higher the price you’re going to pay? The more you want something -the more it’s gonna cost you!

Man looks at it from “a certain angle” GOD looks at it “FROM EVERY ANGLE”! GOD SEES THINGS THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE; Man on the other hand… 🤔

Half the time man gets it wrong; the other half of the time he doesn’t care.

We’re separated, GOD is not; THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

!The issue has always been “PERSONALITY” OR “POISONALITY”. Ray doesn’t impose personality!

Man cannot make the sun come up but eventually perhaps he will.

The fact that corporate America keeps taking away more and more of what once was.. Should give you some indication of just how good life was 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.

Some men comment men who grew up with sisters for example no problem have the ability to see other women as such. I did not have sisters growing up and 🤔 I wish I could see women around me as such.

GOD can’t just take things away from us. Some factors are:

Often times we are not willing to entirely let go of something

Something else has to be in place before something can be removed

Oftentimes GOD wants us to have a part in it

My personality jumps

Healthy people don’t tear themselves down; bring themselves down!

GOD didn’t create people and their various traits and gifts for us to use, exploit!

It can take a man a very long time to figure something out on. The real question is why should he have to?

Auto immune disorder of the mind Auto immune disorder of the mind.

FACEBOOK “There’s far too many people in America today who care nothing for other.s” The integrity of the so called “brotherhood of man” -has broken down! SCORE ANOTHER POINT FOR satan!!!!! P.S. One would have to have at least a basic knowledge or understanding of the definition of “brotherhood of man” in order to refute this assertion.

FACEBOOK “Buying, and spending, and materialism have become so commonplace in this society that the term “the fever” ISN’T EVEN AN AFTERTHOUGHT WITH YOUR AVERAGE AMERICAN! But not with me. Why are we doing this? Why aren’t we at home with our families getting to know and support one another better?”

FACEBOOK “As long as there’s a group that can support the ridiculous demands of the economic wheel… It could care less about the rest! Well, not exactly! That’s what no-name-brands .are for! But that doesn’t address the gap entirely. You see common society has got to adopt a certain state of mind or mindset, in order for what is happening to continue to take place or exist at all. 🤷‍♂️ This is something that has been worked on for a very long time -To get to this point I mean! So where have we come to? Well it’s quite simple – We’ve come to a point where the consumer is no longer the dog wagging the tail -The tail being corporate America and government. We’ve come to a point now where the tail is wagging the dog! And we can turn this around anytime we wish – If we are only willing to challenge our own state-of-mind, our own mindset”! 🤷‍♀️🙏🏻🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Some punishments lie in the offense itself -which is perhaps why they don’t put you in jail for! It’s not exactly illegal to harm one’s self! It’s when you screw over other people that the system seems to be most concerned! Or when you are harming yourself, that you have the potential to harm others! Is this true or false? GOD cares about all the above! What happens to a society which no longer police is immorality? The same thing that happens to all the rest -NATURALLY!”

FACEBOOK “If satan is allowed to go around harming others, without being challenged; Then shouldn’t we be allowed to go around helping and supporting others, without being challenged?

ALL IN A ROW ////////////// NOT ////\\/////\\\////// AS FAR AS ANYTHING GOES. BUT IN THIS CASE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS OUR FELLOWS [INTERACTIONS/ATTITUDES].

The right thing for the right reason! 🤔 At this stage I’m thinking GOD would settle for the right thing for the wrong reason! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

Alot of normal people do what is suggested in AA -RIGHT LIVING IS RIGHT LIVING! H

How can we blame GOD when we are so slow, so resistant to PUTTING INTO ACTION that which HIS SON has taught us? 🤷‍♀️🙏🏻🤷‍♂️

How much TIME have we wasted -MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME “ALWAYS”!

If some cut in front of you in line, how big a deal would you make of it?

Life quite often doesn’t work out the way we planned when other people are involved.

We have to be very careful about asking for Justice where others are concerned because that light could be shined back on us. We should always ask for mercy for others.

FACEBOOK “There is something very wrong with a society that doesn’t trust itself – And a problem of this magnitude should never be allowed to go unchecked!”

Oftentimes, disputes end and compromises where there shouldn’t be one. Where one party has no business to begin with. But that’s life And sometimes that’s what the party wants is just to get a lagain and steal a bit of the pie or the glory. Man so often is inept at true Justice!

“A PUNISHING GOD”? I THINK SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOD CONFUSED WITH SOME PEOPLE!

Taking advantage of people in the hospital, charging $3.00 for a candy-bar. $4.00 foe a bored water –where’s your conscience, where’s your humanity? There’s no place in a so-called “COMMUNITY” for people with this mentality!

It’s amazing to me how many people know how to treat 1 another and how many people don’t know how to treat 1 another. Mind boggling actually! And there seems to be that cluster in the middle!

Why is situation or processex easy for some and seemingly insurmountable for others?

FACEBOOK “Half the world is above the line and the other half of the world is below the line; And that’s with applying a line whose bar is very low [humans themselves and not GODLY-PRINCIPLES]!! So that basically accounts for the sad state of the world! The United States was indeed at some point a very special place in history.”

FACEBOOK “The material, the physical, NEVER TR[I]UMP[H]S [OVER] THE SPIRITUAL -EXCEPT WHEN “WE OURSELVES” CHOOSE THE FORMER OVER THE LATTER [as man so often does]!” 😔

As far as I’m concerned, the more laws the society has, the greater the chances are of breaking one. There’s gotta be a lesson in there somewhere. Something’s not quite right. Something’s askew with the society; Or with those in authority. After all, I think it’s been determined that law-breaking is big business.

satan makes a move and you’ve gotta make a move to counter it -satan plays mind games; so you’ve got to figure out the keys to the puzzle; to repel the power behind it.

You think spending our time wondering what we can do next is the best way to spend our time? That’s what it’s come down to in the modern world. Serving up the next thing for the masses. Well I think it’s nonsense! GOD Didn’t create the universe so fast for that purpose primarily. He gave us things to do because he knew that our mind in our hearts yearned for it -and rightfully so. But for it to become the most important thing… NAH! To be based upon excessive.. NAH! To wield eventual wealth and power over others.. NAH! To replace HIM… NAH!

I think GOD made me the way I look to offset certain disadvantages HE foresaw in my future

When we assume or think the best of people were at peace; When we assume or think the worst of them were in turmoi.l

We never resolve anything by pointing a finger at each other; We resolved things by pointing the finger at ourselves! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

A lot of people play this game; While it’s true that I’m going around hurting people; They’d become quite a student at or become professional at “I’m not gonna let you hurt me”; In fact, they become so proficient at it that it almost appears as if they are cold and heartless. JESUS did not act as such I believe because “the real action” lies in our vulnerability to one another, to ourselves, to “THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF”!

Some people cannot keep things separated, one person hurts them in the whole world is to be treated with chip gloves.

Some people should have a sign on their forehead that says handle with care; Still others, handle with [extreme] caution!

I asked not for special consideration; only for appropriate consideration.

MARCH 27TH 2023

The more time I spend where GOD is -the better I FEEL!

LORD, protect my mind; from enemies -both foreign and domestic!

Some things rub people the wrong way that shouldn’t affect inspire them! Spur them to change in fact!

Indicators of spiritual well-being and spiritual decline?

Just as a child runs to a parent when frightened or confused…. And so it should be with us and GOD who is our Heavenly Father -and we HIS children! Is it not therefore better to remain in a perpetual state of fear and confusion?

Alcoholics Anonymous doesn’t take with everyone! Regarding those who it does -we are so fortunate!

Don’t get caught up in the writing itself -get caught up in the concept; the essence of!

Can we eventually [actually] aspire to the words which flow from my mouths?

The quality of our lives is directly proportional to the quality of our relationship!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the power, the impact the world has on a human-being!

Approoriate and inappropriate [levels of] FEAR!

After some time in AA, having worked the steps… they manage to stay sober with a minimum of contact with the program thereafter -until something formidable appears on the horizon!

No body gets drunk sitting on “the couch” thinking about it! Nor stay sober! 🤷‍♂️ It took a lot of time and effort to get sick -THINK ABOUT IT! 8 HOURS A DAY IN SOME INSTANCES, 7 DAYS A WEEK…

There’s a difference between “the rush” of getting high and that which we find in recovery -some people never make “the transition”.

FACEBOOK “If you’re unwilling to pay for it at that price, they can’t sell it at that price! THINK ABOUT IT! Pricing today is largely based upon a group of individuals willing to pay the price or desperate to pay the price with little or no consideration for those who cannot or will not. It’s largely based on a certain group’s utter lack of concern for their fellow human beings.”

Help me to be open my GOD even when I am not where you reside specifically. Even when I am not actively pursuing a relationship with YOU!

FACEBOOK “When the public is ripe; it’s only a matter of time before they starts charging for returns. You let these companies get away with it and they’ll try it.”

Most human beings should either have a sign or a sticker that says “Handle with care” or “Handle with caution”.

Oftentimes we ask without knowing, understanding, fully comprehending…

When stinking-thinking comes a calling -pray for others!

Turn it around and see how it flies – For example, today my girlfriend’s best friend walked up to the car and I said her name followed by darling with a French-intoned accent. Perfectly innocent. But when you picture a friend of mine, a man walking up to the car and my girlfriend saying it to him the same thing -it doesn’t fly with me. So you see, this is one way we can check ourselves. Check ourselves by using the same rule of thumb on others as ourselves; ourselves as with others. I don’t mean to control others -I mean to measure our own conduct I guess. Besides, one of the things that makes our relationship with our partner so special is the unique traits we display with them and them alone -and no one else. You want your partner to feel special, to feel elite don’t you?

Protect your mind even from filthy-truths!

When the savage in us is appeased -it no longer acts savagely. That was the case with Ana! You can appease your savage or you can conquer it! In our relationship it was appeased -not conquered! Lulled rather than confronted -hence, the problems in my new relationship where the savage is not being lulled but neglected.

What is the best use of his time romantic endeavor? It’s a valid question!

So which are the public more inclined towards… A company with a reliable history that sells mediocre quality or an individual with no history selling high quality?

The teaching approach in this country and throughout history is designed to do what with regard 2 up-and-coming generations? It’s not designed to f*** Foster people who dominate. Man tries to avoid such thing. But isn’t a top notch education rendering someone that capability? Education and character!

Awareness is a double-edged sword man has always been vulnerable too. Being made aware of the tree of knowledge! We have the ability to bring awareness to one another. Most of us do not have adequate knowledge or understanding of the impact of even our own! Adequate restraint either! It only took one generation to screw up. Some people are a real champion for mankind. Do you think the world of us. But is it misplaced?

Some people have an iron will and a sensible mind! Most of us are lucky to have one or the other in this day and age. Think about it! If you have a sensible mind but you don’t have an iron wheel and you’re prone to non-sensible thoughts [temptations] from time to time… If you have an iron will but you don’t have sensible thoughts…

FACEBOOK “If you can get killer abs without doing any work -what’s the point? If you can lose weight without doing any work -what’s the point? Many people who don’t have these problems take these questions for granted.”

What is your priority in life? What do your choices indicate? Actions & Attitudes indicate?

The closer I am to GOD; the more I have to contribute to life!

Alcoholics, and humans in general; DON’T GENERALLY DEAL WELL WITH LONG-TERM PAIN!

The one with the least amount of toys; who can be happy -WINS! The less I can rely on, THE FREER I AM! In fact, the only thing I can think of to truly rely upon that grants me MORE FREEDOM IS -GOD!!!!!!!

The simpler MY LIFE; the fewer opportunities my ALCOHOLISM has to roam!

The secret to telling the truth is; DON’T DO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO HIDE OR BE ASHAMED OF! LIVE YOUR LIFE PRIVATELY -THE SAME WAY YOU LIVE IT PUBLICLY!

“When you’ve crossed certain lines in your life it’s very difficult to reassert those lines. For example, if you have a tendency towards excess or towards promoscuity…”

Relationships are a funny thing with we humans – Sometimes 1 thing can bring it to a halt. Sometimes 1 thing can bring it crashing down. Sometimes 1 thing can cause it to go out with a whimper!

Why get angry at GOD; it’s either not HIS fault; or HE knows what HE’S doing! 🤷‍♀️🙏🏻🤷‍♂️ God either IS or HE isn’t!

The 2 worst and best things of partner can say to you:

▪︎ I’m no longer in love with you or you’re not good enough for me

▪︎ I don’t feel I’m good enough for you I don’t feel I’m good enough for you.

One empowers you and the other 1 takes away your power!

When you’re worried about someone else with your partner -it’s not jealousy. Maybe insecurity. Maybe suspicion.

FACEBOOK “If you are concerned about infidelity on the part of your partner then pushing them away only increases the odds while drawing them closer decreases the odds-it’s amazing how we push people away and increase yards of infidelity while being so worried about it rather than decrease in the odds by drawing them closer with behaviors that make them want to be with us not with someone else. That’s one of the irrational things about human beings!”

There was a sharp decline, albeit a small one, when AA came on the scene!

Some people are highly aware, but only with regards to their own welfare!

God is most present In the now!

FACEBOOK “The more I practice staying in the now the sharperoy will be when a major now moment arises!”

BLESSED ARE those with the power to kill, steel, and destroy; WHO do not!

You make plans, but yet you realize there is a distinct possibility they will never come to fruition; You leave the possibility of GOD’S-plan open; That is what is formally called -Not being a fool! MY DAD HAD NO USE FOR… SO WAS HE A FOOL????? He didn’t think so!!!!!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I’m not responsible for my “DISEASE” WRONG!!!! BILL W. STATES IN THE FIRST STEP ..

Alcoholics are CUNNING, BAFFLING, AND POWERFUL!

Ask most people in prison and they will tell you they’re pretty good people

I never got drunk “thinking about it”! I never stayed sober “thinking about it”!

It’s one thing to do a kind act [hard enough]; another to give credit where credit is due! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Corellations

Man is slow

Everything is an opportunity to grow in the likeness of your CREATOR!

Some things are more important than money -but not to every man! Some men don’t care about anything but “GETTING PAID”!

I’m not responsible for being an Alcoholic… but in the 1st step…

What things fall into the category of:

Needs to be discussed or addressed ____________________________________________________________

Doesn’t need to be discussed or addressed

AA is for people who have lost the unconscious ability to have a conscious contact with GOD.

Some people struggle with, have a problem with being happy; so, 🤔 it only stands to reason some people struggle with, have a problem with being unhappy. Yin-Yang! Everything contains it’s opposite! So what other opposites are there of interest?

It’s not the person who gets up earliest in the morning who has the most sobriety -it’s the one who has the most GOD in them who has the most sobriety!

100% and 0% in nature, very, very interesting 🤔

“V” & “M”eter, humans are like a vehicle [vector] and a meter

● STAY IN THE NOW*

● LIVE RIGHT*

● HELP OTHERS*

PRAYER & MEDITATION

*Best way to get GOD in you!

You can kind of tell the discrepancy between GOD’S plan for us and our plan for us -BY OUR LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION & DISAPPOINTMENT! OUR LACK OF FAITH; OUR LOSS OF FAITH! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

Maybe GOD is in the past present and the future -probably; But HE is not in my self-centered-mind while obsessing over the past or the future in an attempt to “BLOCK OUT THE PRESENT” and as a consequence of… BLOCKING HIM OUT AS WELL? Unless of course I am attempting to block HIM out as well!

I remember going to a restaurant with my girlfriend and splitting a large plate of food -and then telling us they were gon to charge us $4 extra. See what I mean about Corporate America thinking WE NEED THEM! Whoever needs who is the one who doesn’t get to take liberties

If you are to be so-inclined as to act on those horrible thoughts then they’re probably your thoughts. But if you’re not so-inclined to act on those thoughts then we’re probably not your thoughts!

Whenever you have unsettling thoughts, pray for the salvation and protection and welfare of others.

I think I are more appealing when I am coming from my soul than from my brain. I think that when I’m focused in the moment my soul is more inclined to come out later than my brain. But when I am not focused in the moment and my mind is racing to the past or to the future or to some problem that hasn’t yet materialized.. Then I am more apt to approach life later on from my brain. The more free I am from.. The more inclined I am to be in touch with GOD… and the more inclined my soul is to radiate outwardly versus my brain.

Humility vs Ego. Disappointment, sadness, grief [humility and faith, strength, confidence] vs fear [lack of faith, lack of humility, lack of strength (power), confidence].

It’s better to come from the soul than from the mind when dealing with others.

When companies no longer want to take responsibility -it’s an incredible fact that the public should not stand for.

You ordinarily have certain interactions with people. A normal part of your friendship or relationship. But person “A” wants to continue those certain interactions without the normal amount of time spent in friendship… by person “B”… From the perspective of a person B, person “A” could look like they are trying to exploit or use them. But is it person “A’s” problem that person “B” no longer wants to invest the time?

After you defeat someone and begin playing up the tremendous skill and abilities.. You are you really complimenting?

Who’s placing who 1st? Corporate America used to place the customer 1st -now it’s not. This is very telling. If you’re not going by principles, you’re going by power. Principles tend to offset power!

Watch when missing a meeting becomes one day, then 2, then 3, then a week…

If relationships are supposed to be found on a language of the hear to come and tell me why so many bear and eerie physical resemblance to one another? Why aren’t there more relationships where the physical is less of a resemblance in the language of the heart is more of a resemblance?

People who don’t know what they’re doing or what they’re feeling can be such a pain i* t** a**.

Some people find great comfort in other human beings while others find none whatsoever -received none whatsoever.Others received nothing but grief. Is this the beauty of our diversity as human beings? And some ways we shouldn’t be diverse at all But man loves his diversity and his freedom to choose to be as such -and it sucks sometimes! The 2 things I see man most consistent ant are retaliation when his eagle has been bruised and collecting a debt. Real winners huh All involving self!

Some people are willing to put in the effort but don’t know what they’re doing. Some people know what they’re doing but are unwilling to put in the effort.

You can always tell when someone is lying to you somewhere somehow… because I always tell you what you want to hear! Not even GOD can make that claim!

We’re all weak in one area or another; so next time you are in the presence of… someone weak… think! think! think!

Whenever we are in a difficult situation, most of us feel strained; when we see someone else in a difficult situation of a similar nature, some of us have no empathy whatsoever; are even cold, or callous, or ruthlessly critical!

The repercussions for even a tiny increase in dishonest people in a society is huge!

I used to be worried about myself and what I was going to get into next… and about the worlds…. Now I’m only worried about the worlds.

Some people’s relationships are like a drug. They need continual doses of such things as reassurance.

Sometimes I think I say things negative because I no longer can think of anything positive to say

I don’t just have to worry about other people; I must remain continually vigilant with regard to myself and my ownmotives, my own degree of hunger and twistedness!

The age difference and money difference: She has opted to forego not one; but both! ☺!EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE!☺ACCEPTANCE

MARCH 20TH 2023

Whether we like it or not, our approach and our relationships has everything to do with how people feel and respond and decide. The reason for this, the reason I make this bold statement is because so many people these days are “REACTIONARY”. OR, MORE SPECIFICALLY -LIKE “THE ‘PROVERBIAL RAT’ PUSHING ‘THE BUTTON’ LOOKING FOR ‘THE[IR] NEXT PELLET’.” 🤷‍♂️ When people are pleased with us they tend to respond a certain way and when they are displeased with us they tend to respond to certain way. This is fairly consistent. Has nothing to do with… really 🤔😔

Look for credit card companies to start asking for proof of income. I don’t know why they haven’t been doing it to begin with but I can tell you this much -as people become more crooked in society; they’re going to be lying about these things. It’s part of a reason we’re losing so many of our privilege. Companies are not real hit on privileges call these days to remove them because the same people on one side of the counter are basically the same as the people on the other side of the counter -everybody looking to get more these days [or shell out less]!!!!

Settle for a little less than fair in your dealings with people; and you might be amazed at the results

There’s a difference between giving money to your kids out of guilt and giving money to your kids out of love. Or any other reason besides love for that matter.

Keep it simple: Shoot upward rather than downward! This with regard to your dealings in your relationship.

The day they start making us pay before we receive services… Right now we pay before receiving goods but after we receive services. The day corporate America starts making us pay before we receive a service rather than after is the day corporate America has Americans by the throat! But the day is coming and the impetus for it will be a society that is untrustworthy. Welcome whatever the h*** is left we end up paying afterwards for… look for that to go away because trusting is becoming more and more a thing of the past. Giving people the benefit of the doubt. A courtesy… Call it what you will…

When satan attacks -RUN TO GOD! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ IT’S QUITE SIMPLE! Isn’t that what any child does with THEIR PARENT? POINT? People take things soooo personally! Think everything, including GOD’S decisions are (all) about them. “”GOD” didn’t listen to my prayers” (because HE already had a plan that did in fact take into account YOU/ME/EVERYONE -as always 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️)… It’s not all about you; it’s not all about me!

FACEBOOK “GOD had a plan for your partner long before you came along -so don’t get upset because HE follows through on it after you arrive on the scene. Also your children, before you even had them!”

FACEBOOK “A major issue among society is that we have good people mixed in with not so good people; and informed people mixed in with ignorant people. And then we have the ones that don’t do anything or know anything or try to affect change in a positive or negative way* whatsoever.”

*However, I believe a very wise man once stated “if you’re not a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ So that would mean that the majority of humanity is a part of the problem -as would be indicated by the direction we’re going in. You can’t argue with the numbers. You can’t argue with what is staring you [and I] right in the face!

FACEBOOK “People generally fall into 4 categories. This was from 28 or 30 years ago:

▪︎IGNORANT

▪︎MALISCIOUS

▪︎BENIGN

▪︎INDIFFERENT”

FACEBOOK “The problem with any issue faced is that a certain number of people in the population are always seeking opportunity [and that number seems to be increasing -we (often) become (learn from) our contemporaries and our predecessors]. We will always have issues when man takes on the role of “taker” rather than “giver”. “Avoider” (exploiter) rather than “sacrificer”.”

“Why don’t you just let GOD take it from here -and walk you the rest of the way Rick!”

The majority of the people walking around on this planet today are the same people who crucifIed JESUS 2000 years ago. So when you’re out there running around… And you get this uneasy feeling… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Imagine the conflict among us, and GOD trying to address each of our wants, and needs! Two people for example, “wanting the same thing”. 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

It’s different when it’s in writing. Ot’s different when wha you suspected, 100 other people got together and wrote down in a book.

FACEBOOK “You can argue someone’s opinion; but you can’t argue their experience!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “A PURE-HEART! A FREED-SOUL; CONVEYS SOMETHING LIKE NO OTHER!” 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

Some of us would love to reap all the gifts life has to offer simply through omission or halting bad behaviors. But yhat doesn’t build character! That’s not earning, that’s… WE GET SOMETHING WHEN WE REFRAIN -EE GET SOMETHING WHEN WE TAKE POSITIVE, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. I THINK THE TWO [WE REAP ONE THING WIRH THE FORMER, MULTIPLE THINGS WITH THE LATTER] ARE VERY DIFFERENT -THE PROCESS IS CERTAINLY VERY DIFFERENT!

We think 🤔 by getting what we want; we will be OK emotionally! We don’t want to change to suit circumstances. The problem is that when I’m not spiritually fit, I even get agitated when I do get my own way because “Life not my way” “Life my way” is not the problem “I AM!”

“PAINTING WITH WORDS”

Wanting what you have; Having what you want [spiritual vs material]

Bring the spirit in; and leave the personality out!

FACEBOOK “When I fear things I don’t need to fear -IT’S MY SPIRIT[UAL-CONDITION]!”

FACEBOOK “GOD knows what we would do in situations we will never face; and HE knows what we would do differently in situations given a second chance” [another opportunity]. M&R👫

The one with the most sobriety…

▪︎GOD IN US

▪︎How to get GOD in us

▪︎ How are we, what do we exude once we have GOD in us?

FACEBOOK “Everything’s fine -even if it’s not fine! That’s the thing many people don’t understand in GOD’S universe.”

Why doesn’t GOD answer prayers we feel are good and right?

▪︎Not time yet?

▪︎ Has something better in mind?

What do you think the aliens think when they see how we operate? If there was somebody else superior out there watching, besides GOD, it would be pretty pathetic wouldn’t it? Confusing anyways, to say the least!

FACEBOOK “We don’t trust each other in America anymore -and satan’s down there laughing his a** off!!!! As a matter of fact, doing the right thing or… Trusting kindness nowadays is considered foolish. satan’s laughing his a** off even more! How does that make you feel? I know how it makes me feel! Furious!!!!”

Even when I get my way I’m still restless, irritable, and discontent. Because you see, the problem to the answer is not getting my way, the problem is me. The problem is not enough GOD;! NOT -Not enough of the world!

“This is an entirely set of new principles you are trying to adopt semi: it will take some time!”

“When you think about it, people cashing in; and companies cashing in on things people need, it’s pretty LOW!” I know, I know… It’s the American way, it’s the way of capitalism… But just the same THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS! Getting used to something or being conditioned to something or trusting those in Authority doesn’t negate [dilute] the truth of the matter! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Some people are looking for Love and companionship; others, for excitement and a more interesting lifestyle they can neither imagine, nor bring to fruition on their own [resources]! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

What good are [harboring, entertaining] hang-ups and vices if you’re no longer interested in acting on them?

The relationship where both people are willing to give more than they take… it’s almost guaranteed not to fail! Many relationships go for years and even a lifetime with only one person applying this principle!

I’m willing to do 6040 and what that means is it I’m willing to give more than I take out of this relationship. And I think a lot of people put things ahead of the relationship they have no business doing. Things that really don’t even matter or should matter less then the integrity of the relationship itself.

Until we learn to “absorb” each other’s imperfections rather than “slingshot” them back at one another; WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN PLAGING MAN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HIS EXISTENCE!

Not drinking was enough for a while!

Attempting to use the world as your basis for how you want to feel [about anything, towards anything] reaps the lowest form of contentedness!

It’s a basic law: EVERYTHING COMES AT A PRICE -ALCOHOLISM! Perhaps one of the more costly for desecration ONE OF THE MOST VIATAL -A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

Some relationships require more courage than others! Oftentimes people like that courage so the relationship never materiabias and these people never get to the other side and experience the awe and wonder that rewards courage!

The only thing worse than a man who’s got nothing to lose is a man who can’t feel anything!

GOD is trying to get us to believe the truth rather than the lie; satan is trying to get us to believe the truth is a lie!

People who believe in God would treat aliens landing on Earth like anything else because God is bigger than anything else. People who do not believe in God or who are severely having their faith tested would treat aliens landing on Earth like the biggest thing ever because their concept of God is weak or absent altogether. It’s like an alcoholic anonymous, no matter what happens we rely on the principles and trust in God. Alcoholics in their cups rely on manipulation and fear and control to face daily situations. See the similarity with many people in the world? We’re so frazzled and disconnected as a species that if aliens ever did land we’d be a complete f****** mess.

Spirituality is believing in people and finding out later you are wrong about them. Heat nism is disbelieving in people and finding out you are wrong about them.

Carelessness; Selfishness; Thoughtlessness!

If you have a problem that keeps you going back to GOD time and time again and asking for his help-why wouldn’t he want to keep the problem there whereas otherwise once the problem was solved do it turn your back on HIM!

☆☆☆☆☆Alcoholism is very real- THINK ABOUT IT 🤔

▪︎2 BULLIES; TAKE ONE AWAY

▪︎Got to point “I know I’m going to eventually- so why torture myself for the next 2 days 🤷‍♂️

▪︎ What else do you do 8 hours [or more] a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Sex, filet-mignon, Lobster…. bubble-gum ice-cream a week straight -then not again for 20-some years.

▪︎ I was weak in every respect.

▪︎ IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME; SOMETHING GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE & NO SOLUTION?

▪︎ I never tried to control my drinking; and I never started drinking just before bedtime!

▪︎ I love being SOBER; but sometimes LIFE SUCKS!

The more lethargic, the more listless your relationship, the more you will look for things outside of that core loving void to fill and make up the difference. It’s a common thing among human beings-especially in a fruitful society such as ours.

Healthy people tend to be free from the sense that something bad is going to happen!

It’s not like what’s coming to you insessions is mapped out or dialogged or or written on a screenplay [preplanned] – How much does it take to sit in front of a complicated human being without any warning of what’s coming and engage them -let alone help them? ~ On being a good therapist~ 🤔

2 things:

1〕This incredible obsession we could shake matter what we tried;

2] We come into AA and it leaves us!

3] People who hang around AA have a tendency to stay sobe!

What Culture seems to have the least amount of seld-tespect?

Relationship [perhaps more than anything] take an added toll on us that requires taking extra-measures in order to stay SPIRITUALLY FIT! 🤷‍♂️

☆☆☆☆☆The hardest thing in the world is to keep doing what got you there after you’ve arrived!

Definition of POWERLESSNESS: the harder I tried freeing myself from my addiction… the more my addiction rebelled!!!

Neither most doctors or lawyers a couple of centuries ago were very well off. So what is changed? Well man has decided that it’s OK to exploit his human counterpart in these areas which once upon a time would have been considered valueless and cold!

Alcoholism is a very real illness!

It’s hard being a giver; which is why there are so few in the world! 🤷‍♂️

What your income is and what something costs-play off each other. To a person with a $1000 a month income a $10 cheeseburger is like paying $30.To a person with a $4000 income it’s like paying 5 bucks.

Turning the other cheek and giving without asking anything in return are two* of the most powerful things among human-beings. First of all, because there are so fewwilling to do that -something not taken for granted? In certain instances, things begin to sink in and people rethink in both of these human responses and behavior [rethink when they have been gifted an experience with these types of people].JESYS was the master of both!

* Surrendering and stop kicking ourselves i* t** a** are the 2 most difficult things -and the most self centered of things. They are at the end of the aforementioned spectrum!

One problem is that people are not very good at offering [help]. But perhaps an equally prevalent problem is that many people are not very good at asking [help]..

Without the spirit of gratitude, many of the situations we will encounter in life among our fellow human beings will be very difficult to stomach; to get thru!

Can GOD [still] affect something without doing anything? Kind of like can HE make a rock that HE cannot lift?

In most cases the man tends to make more money and pay for evenings out together with his wife a girlfriend. It only seems reasonable that if the woman happens to make more money that she would do the same. I think it’s only a matter of practicality and common sense.

There’s something much more and much more significant to be received when giving rather than receiving come giving rather than giving and taking or receiving. People like this receive a reward that is immeasurable and a reward that often takes their relationships to a place that can only be reached by being as such.

To many people in the new end upcoming generations, people are just things like anything else-less than things in some cases.

GOD uses principles to reach in and touch our heart; satan uses the world. Now just think about that 🤔 GOD uses the world to help us practice [experience and grow] Victory; while satan uses the world to help us practice [experience and decline] defeat!

FACEBOOK ☆☆☆☆☆ After all we did do ourselves; after all we did to others; after the way we treated GOD… our punishment from this so called “punishing-GOD” is a program of life so “INDESCRIBABLY WONDERFUL”: A program for living how we should have been living from the very start! This is our punishing GOD? 🤔 THE 12-STEP PROGRAM!!!!! 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “NOBODY CAN HAVE EVERYTHING -why would you WANT TO anyways? 🤷‍♂️ Supposedly, 🤔 “holes in our lives” or so I have been told: “give essential meaning to those ‘non-holes’ in our lives”; a [deeper] meaning which could not exist otherwise” [without those holes!]”. Think about it! 🤔

FACEBOOK ☆☆☆☆☆ “If GOD is indeed a punishing GOD -this Christian GOD 🤔 Then answer me this: why are so many bad-people running around unpunished? Man never gets around to these questions though. He’s too busy thinking he’s got GOD pegged dead-to-rights. The fact of the matter is; most of us know very little about GOD -and the fact of the matter is; we never will with this “line-of-thinking” or “train-of-thought”.” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “There are patterns among the seeming non-patterns of life. For example, bad things seem to happen to good people; and good things seem to happen to bad people -no discernible pattern there that makes sense to us right?Wrong! It seems to dictate or denote a universe where anything can happen -where there is no law; or rule-of-thumb! Right?? Wrong!!”

FACEBOOK “What is a life without values? I used to run around lying, cheating, stealing! I don’t do that anymore! I have a life with values! To have a life worth living today! What sort of life do you suppose you have today* -that lacks values?” 🤔 Think about it!

*A life where one hates themselves -is no life at all! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

▪︎I can live in my own skin today

▪︎ Forgive yourself most of all

▪︎ Get to know yourself again

▪︎ Get back to the things you loved in life

▪︎ Are you prepared for the worst possible tragedies affecting your sobriety? People who get away from the 12 step program -TEND NOT TO BE! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

GOD uses the world to perfect us; while satan uses it to destroy us!

Many men want something from women that women feel is derogatory. Many women want nothing from many men. At least many men want something from a woman. The lowest thing in the world is to see no value, to take no interest whatsoever in a human being.

GREG My grandmother was abusive and demeaning at times Threatening. She would scare me with her punishments which is something a person should never do with a child. She used manipulation.

They lower prices and people start to buy in increasing numbers. Seems to be a law of humanity. But the particular thing has to be a value to begin with. And there can be programmed.

Some people are ignorant but they are not stupid

The problem with relating as a guide, or tool, is that when human beings cannot relate to something -They tend to dismiss it out of hand; WHEN, AND WHERE IN FACT THEY SHOULD NOT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

I say to a woman (Felicia for example) passing by “You seem like a good lady”. I say it very low and it catches her by surprise. She asked if I said something, and I reply “no, I didn’t”. It becomes something of an issue. “Yes you did, you said “I seem like a good lady”. “But you see karma I had to do it this way in order to leave a more engrained impression in her brain -in future; Otherwise she would have simply dismissed it as she has done so many other times in previous dialog”.

Too many adolescents in this country. Accounted “for” by all the drinking and drugging and other things that stunt development. And accounting to by all of the spending going on in this country nowadays. Adults, and truly mature and complete individuals have no need for a bunch of things. Ask your grandparents and their grandparents before them… They weren’t on the spending spree continually.

The world is not a benign place; but a GOD who belies it all is. Therefore, with the exception of human beings, everything around us is benign [Is that true? We’re not in Paradise any more!]]

Most of us are cowards in one form or another. And heroes?

We have to be flexible in our relationships -not rigid.

Sometimes when we do things without thinking about what we’re doing they seem to work out just right-our minsds and our bodies seem to know just what to do without our conscious interference.

The thing about turning the other cheek and giving without asking anything in return is that they leave no room for criticism, or rebutted whatsoever -just a dead silence!

“Willingness to believe” spoke at same time I read.Pg. 46 BB

Everytime man’s freedom to think as he wishes, or; that he isn’t “the spearhead of creation” [the “end-all-be-all”] of the Universe; they challenge it, they tear it to pieces until it no longer poses a threat to these things!

Marriage -the government has overstepped… the boundary between “church-and-state” by dictating “gay-marriage”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FAITH -we had faith 8n the bottle; FAITH in the dope-dealer! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

If GOD is a punishing GOD… then why are there so many bad people running around unpunished? It’s a fallacy by Satan to divide us from GOD!

If satan revealed himself to us it would cause us to rethink THE EXISTENCE OF GOD!

You put any of us under a microscope, our lives, our histories, and YOU WILL FIND FLAWS! MISTAKES! IMMORALITY?

ONE OF THE DUMBEST QUESTION EVER ASKED “Is there a creative intelligence at work in the universe?”

The 1st line God instilled is our common sense calm the 2nd line is consequences… the last thing is God actually punishing us.

If you’ve never read the big book of alcohol it’s anonymous then when you’re sitting in a meeting how will you know whether what people is sthing is in line with the program or not? If you’ve never read The Bible then how can you know whether or not what people are saying about it is true or not?

Just because something is painful doesn’t mean it’s not beneficial… man is slow in this regard! Just because something is painful doesn’t mean it’s harmful! Man is slow in this regard!

GOD’S punishment for the way we is alcoholics and attics conducted ourselves is to give us a program which shows us how to do what we should have been doing all along. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

… After all, man is hard on GOD –is he not? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Not all of us is bound by time!

To be honest with you, I wasn’t particularly interested in GOD’S debt-relief-plan; I was more so interested in his workman’s-comp-plan! I know a man who came into alcoholic’s anonymous and chose “the alternate route”, and quite honestly, it appears he faired better than me -sooner!

OK 🤔 SOOOOO Let’s talk about the movie the arrival. Several spacecraft come down into our atmosphere and hover just above the Earth’s surface. So what happens next:

▪︎ Many people panic and fear for their lives because their physical life is hydrogeither the only thing they’ve ever known or is the most important thing to them in spite of their intelligence, education, and spiritual beliefs which supposedly run to the contrary;

▪︎ The people who were at least open to the possibility of aliens do not react so extremely. It’s the ones that were closed to the notion that there is something other than man and his majesty existing in the universe;

▪︎ Naturally there are those who want to try and exploit the situation as well, there’s always one [million] in the bunch;

▪︎ There are those who will try to reason;

▪︎ There are those who immediately think of going to war with a spacecraft millions of years ahead of our technology lol

▪︎ Overall, we are basically disjointed. Such extremes exist between us that there is an array of responses. Where there shouldn’t be. We are so defiant and consumed with our own individuality that we even refuse uniformity where it is practical.

▪︎ And if the government ever did know about the existence of such being.. Of course they refuse to prepare the masses because it’s more important to have your own little toy secret and to be a team player. Do you really think most human beings care so much about one another that they’re keeping this secret to avoid potential panic? Potential panic that harms the public, or; potential panic that interferes with their own agenda?

▪︎BOTTOM-LINE: Man is an arrogant, illogical [often unthinking], self-centered creature; He seldom is adequately prepared because he chooses to remain in his own ignorance, he is over confident, he is a slave to his money and therefore avoids at all cost any seemingly unnecessary costs, or all the above! And he likes to keep secrets as stated above]! Many times, he doesn’t care how he gains advantage over his fellows Whether it be by increasing his own strength or by weakening his own kind. The latter of course not helping things any should our species as a whole face a challenge requiring all WE can bring to the table to address it.

Time won’t let me time of the season

Man didn’t write The Bible, I read it 3 times. And man is neither that smart or honest or truthful or humble. Humble is the ability to recognize your own faults – Is according to some.

People who don’t have respect for their parents growing up tend not to have respect for society in general.

I think a person who has a lot of admiration for their parents accomplishment and character has a far more positive outlook on life in general and a sense of worth about themselves. People who don’t of course… probably have a more difficult time with these things.

You wanna know what one of the best things is about humanity? There is so much room [potential] for improvement!

If Russia launches their missiles at us and we’re already dead? Then what exactly is the point after the fact of us launching hours? If our actions are always to protect ourselves, and it’s already too late to protect ourselves, then wouldn’t deny elating the Russians be a malicious act? Wouldn’t wiping out humanity as a whole beer malicious act questioremark wiping out the reminder of humanity be a malicious act?

GOD doesn’t like to punish -what parent does?

GOD’S criteria [requirements, expectations, demands, desires…] for humans is very, very short; MAN’S on the other hand… 🤔

In homosexuality, the problem doesn’t start with attraction to the same sex but lack of attraction towards the opposite-sex!

We are both fortunate with regard to 🤔 THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST!

Attitudes & Actions.

It’s best not to have THE THOUGHT or THE INCLINATION AT ALL; as opposed to FIGHTING IT!

STEP 12: Find a real-life-example of what this looks like. For me it is Atticus Finch

The caboose hasn’t caught up to the engine yet in my relationship with Maggie!

It’s the PRINCIPLE’S [GOD IN ME] my partner is attracted to, not me!

As long as there are no global threats to us.. There is no need for unity among men But there are global threats continually. Especially the things eating at each of us individually -but across the entire species.But so many of us are either unaware or we do not find them significant enough to override our feelings of individuality, and our feelings of ill-will towards one another! It’s easier and less demathing to pick and chlose a click then to be involved with the world at large! That’s why most people never fully evolver develop. It’s been a long time coming being able to reach the entire world, and now that we can we’re no more willing than we were when we were shut off from most of it. If we ever were hit with something that we actually think is significant on a global level.. This species would be caught with its pants down, hands ✋ ✋ down 👎! Bottom-line: Man really doesn’t appear all that interested in UNITING or in SELF-IMPROVEMENT!

How many people is a human being capable of loving? The answer for most of us by choices about 4 or 5 Max -No wonder we’re so empty and so weak has a species

GOD is a lover. GOD is a lover of all mankind. GOD is a lover who infiltrates all! Think about it… GOD in us versus GOD not in us! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

It doesn’t go over too well with God, telling him what he should do for you! Believe me I’ve tried it…

FACEBOOK “I remember asking my credit card company about what happened to the grace period we used to enjoy with our payments? You know what they told me? Oh, well we send out the bill early now so you have plenty of time to pay it. And I thought to myself, well didn’t need to do that before? Send out the bill ahead of time and still give you a 10 day grace. For paying it without a late fee? You see what these companies are doing is they’re getting rid of… they are putting into place different rules so that they can benefit from them with these fees. $30 now for a late fee? Give me a break!!!!!!!! Just to give you some idea what’s happened to America, letting the company get away with charging to make a payment WTF?????? You should be grateful you’re getting my business! But many of them are not anymore, they have an attitude of… If you don’t like it you can go somewhere else!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “What is a human being without principles? Without GOD? What is a human being who doesn’t care if another human being has principles? Only what they can get out of that individual? A perfect example is human trafficking!”

THE 12-STEP PROGRAM IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST “THE NATURAL ABILITY” TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

☆☆☆☆▪︎I never got pulled over driving home from an AA-MEETING!

AA restores my choice “not to drink”; It doesn’t take away MY CHOICE TO DRINK -I CAN GO OUT THAT DOOR RIGHT NOW IF I SO CHOOSE!

Being a good AA means obeying the laws of the land and respecting them

Every now and again you can buy something and turn around and sell it for more

Intensity coupled with sincerity….

Lord let me be compassionate and grateful at all times!

Absorb as much of GOD as possible as frequently as possible!

What is a good indicator for u that u are SPIRITUALLY-FIT?

THE PERSON WHO HAS THE MOST SOBRIETY IS THE ONE WHO HAS “THE MOST GOD IN THEM”!

AS I GREW INTO ADULTHOOD, MY SELF-WILL BEGAN TO ERUPT -AND THUS BEGAN “THE DECLINE” OF MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

The more places I show up to where GOD is -the better I feel!

There’s life, and that presents its own unique set of struggles. But when you add to it human selfishness…. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

ALCOHOLICS WANT “SOMETHOR NOTHING”!

IN SUMMING UP ANY RELIGION; ANY 12-STEP PROGRAM; ANY SPIRITUALLY-BASED-GROUP; GET AS MUCH OF GOD IN YOU AS FREQUENTLY AS YOU CAN!!!!

MARCH 13th 2023

[MARCH 12th 2023 Prayer: “Lord, will YOU grant us 30 years together; from this day forth -PLEASE?” Maggie: “I WOULD LOVE THAT!” P.S. And please grant “J” a new set of teeth!

FACEBOOK Man refuses to yield to the notion that there is one GOD -because he refuses to serve together with his fellow man under one GOD!

Not everyone can so easily get into a relationship. And many who can -end up regretting it!

Flip a coin every second and you will get a result naturally -Wait an extra second, and you result will change! Or will it?

3 “HEADS IN A ROW! 3:15 am’ish or so!

1] Do you want me to tell Maggie about the… “HEADS”

2] “CONFIRMATION” Do you want me to tell Maggie about the… “HEADS” [2nd “of two in a row]

3] Do we use this as our little “NEST-EGG” LORD? “HEADS” [3rd “of three in a row”]

I’ve always thought it strange that someone with trust issues like myself tends to trust so much. Trusting but extremely suspicious. What does that mean? Well, you can’t have a relationship or proceed emotionally without trust -right?

So why doesn’t GOD remove from us things we ask HIM to?

▪︎GOD rarely removes something forcibly

▪︎GOD wants us to grow & develop character [grow in HIS likeness].

▪︎Penance

Our feelings of gratitude when we are gifted food [from above -all things good descend from above] should run at least as deep as our feelings of deep desparation when we don’t have food.

You would think that being good to one another would be sufficient for a relationship; for the acceptance of a partner. But not in America!

▪︎It’s easier to act sane when you are sane

▪︎The safest way to avoid the risk of getting angry at someone; is to be free from anger within! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

▪︎The greatest guarantee of avoiding retaliation against another is to nake up your mind to react out of love under any and all circumstances, or conditions!

The less man has, the less he tends to take for granted. The problem is… people always want more; not less!

When a person has been given so much by God come and the only thing that satan can think of to make a man ungrateful about our petty things in comparison!

There’s a time to be competitive and a time not to be competitive! You do not want to be competitive on the road with your fellow drivers!

We need to do our part -not because GOD needs our help; but because HE loves us!

2 things form the basis of a relationship but 4 things form the basis of a human being’s choice regarding a partner in many parts of the world:

▪︎ Values and Personality [which form “the heart”]

▪︎ Values and personality and income and interest; the 2 latter one’s being more superficial.

Just keep matching satan’s lies with God’s truth and eventually you will win out.

A lot of people would never pay prices out of pocket that their employers pay… For services and goods. But the attitude of the employee is that it’s not their money that’s being spent so…. And of course businesses understand this attitude which assist them in raising their prices to a level only considered absurd or pompous!

I trust but I’m suspicious -figure that 1 out!

What is a law that doesn’t protect people from people? A lot of laws regarding people’s homes and property don’t!

“I rarely ask you for anything LORD –and yet I have received so much! 🙏🏻🤷‍♂️🙏🏻

A person who does wrong to you may hurt you; but they harm themselves! What’s the difference between hurt and harm? One reaps pity from God and is mercy while the other reaps wrath and a loss of HIS grace!

“I think whatever feelings I have about the things that went on in my childhood were so terrifying to me that IT’S TOO MUCH TO BARE EVER AGAIN -IM SO TERRIFIED OF EVER GOING THRU THAT AGAIN -IN THE CORE OF MY INNERMOST BEING!

Trying to entice people into debt for monetary gain and even excess, seems pretty sleezy to me!

10% tax across-the-board for everyone -EVERYONE! Why is this so hard?

The world of man -and what he thinks matters! 😔

Life isn’t perfect; but those who really try -sometimes come pretty close!

In the area that you live in, do they take extra precautions? Asking provide ID’s along with taking your insurance card at the doctor? Scanning you at all the government offices for weapons? CIf so, this could be a sign the area you’re living in has got more than its fair share of less than desirable individuals! Like where we live!

We have to think about other people; that’s the heart and soul of a civilization! Of a society! Of any species!

satan wants us to believe God’s blessings are the lie! It’s quite simple really -the game of seek-out-and-destroy! Is a chest match of sorts! More like a game of shadows actually-it’s unfortunate that we brought this upon ourselves! But it is what it is, and we must do our best! We hold the key actually! There is no chance in this game! We either utilize the tools and the opportunities available to us -or we fail, WE LOSE!

Maybe my own mistrust is the price I pay for my own deception in my past!

My uncle calls me up once again yesterday, asking me if I know where his third pair of pants went? I think this is possibly having a direct effect on my own trust in my relationship -in a surprising sort of way. Not only is he implanting in me the notion that the world cannot be trusted, but that not even family can be trusted. Does he do this with his own children? Grandchildren?

■The inner child either wants a play-mate or a parent. Not too interested in a partner. I think Maggie is more of a partner and a parent than a playmate. Whereas Ana was more of a playmate and a partner. I don’t think the inner-child is too happy with the partner parent thing at this point in life. REVOLTING?

I think my family’s own untrustworthiness [parents/certain family-members hypocricy] coupled with their own mistrust of the world; is really f’ing with me -A FAMILY CURSE?

■ I’m not as desirable as other people.

is your partner ALL YOU EVER WANTED -or merely “the best you’ve ever had?”

Some people in our lives are irreplaceable; non-upgradeable! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

*****The worst place in the world for and Alcoholic is: Not having a drink and not yet having the program!

What’s normal is what GOD asks of us! In the 90’s, 00’s, what came out was “What’s normal” -another plot of satan to try and confuse man, dilute man further!

It’s a wonderful thing not thinking you’re great when you are -it can also be very uncomfortable, or painful in “the extreme”!

Interdependence

___________________________________________________________

1] a) what would cause you to walk away from this relationship? Or marriage later?

Well. In answer to question a or 1, unfaithfulness or abusiveness would cause me to walk away.

But walk away, well, probably if you made it so staying together wouldn’t work.If you were unhappy with me, or wanted someone else [but we don’t have to worry bout that].

1] b) is simply losing interest a possible facet?

In answer to question b, the only way I’m gonna lose interest is if you are unfaithful or abusive

😘 Not sure I could lose interest, I’ve demonstrated, learned rather, when u trly love. It never dies

Don’t see happening, you’re TOO BEAUTIFUL

2] You are holding another man’s hand in a meeting that is very attractive to you; or somebody who’s clever or very interesting… I mean someone that catches your attention and stirs feelings in you?

And for question 2, I’m with you and will be with you. Therefore no one else of the opposite sex is of interest to me. PERIOD.

Provided u were not in love with and yearning for some one else

You don’t need to worry about that tho. Im not an unfaithful person

Yes, I realize the latter was a non-issue after I sent it

It didn’t take me long because I know myself love

I made many of the mistakes you didn’t, the pain of them has given me growth equating to something like character; and I’ve come to realize the very bad examples, and advice in my childhood are BS

I also expressed to you that I believe relationships are very much like parent and child relationships you don’t throw people away for something “better”. The person your with is irreplaceable because they are one-of-akind. If you already have one person in your heart why would you go looking for someone else or want someone else there?

And lastly I’m looking for love not superficial pleasures or superficial happiness. Besides happiness has never been a huge priority of mine anyways lol. Love and being connected has. Besides I don’t have a very high opinion of the human race nor of most women I’ve encountered. I tend to shy away from women anyways as opposed to… a great number of men who want to… 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I know all about the trade-up game and the pleasure game and being treated like an asset or a liability, people in general deserve better -THEREFORE, MY PARTNER MOST CERTAINLY DOES!

Showing love through giving, and doing, and sacrificing

Even slight unrequittance can be a problem in relationships. How many people want this or are in the mood for that their partners or not?

When you’re dealing with a person a very high character, and smarts-they do not respond typically!

People think they’re over a resentment with someone till they’re in the same room with them. And if you think that’s the only time it’s eating you alive…

Men have to worry more about their women than other men [than do men (being over-powered or encroached upon by other women)]; but aren’t I a man (and therefore shouldn’t my partner have atleast some concern (not for my values, but I mean based upon the reputation of our species)?

How can we be at our worst and our best? Well, that’s a hard question to answer but I will give it my best. Man tends to vacillate between GOD’S will and satan’s. When he is doing GOD’S will, satan goes on the attack. When he is not doing GOD’S will, satan tends to encourage man! Perhaps even lend empowerment [since our will in “this” is so set].

Awareness can be the best thing; or the worst thing!

satan’s want to continually provoke, and confuse us!

THE JEWS! Either:

■ There isn’t a GOD;

HE doesn’t care;

They brought “the Holocaust” on themselves;

THEY’RE OWN SUFFERING IS SAVING MILLIONS OF SOULS!

___________________________________________________________

Make Peace and Serenity your priority!

Keep your mind clear and guard it!

WORRYING weakens a man; FAITH strengthens a man!

You’re not responsible for what other people do; Only for what you do!

satan wants us to believe GOD’S Blessing’s are the lie!

Don’t make ANY WAVES!

Look for what you can contribute; not what you can take away!

Stay in the now! Stay with GOD!

Not having Faith in others is one thing! Not having Faith in yourself is something entirely different!

I AM TRUSTWORTHY; BUT I DON’T TRUST PEOPLE!

“STOP WORRYING”! “JUST BE HAPPY!”

“CARRY YOUR SELF WELL! CARRY YOUR SELF WITH A SENSE OF “JOY” AND “SINCERITY”.”

I don’t think very highly of myself as far as somebody wanting me come and I don’t trust the world to leave my girlfriend alone! I have the double whammy!

“You know what I think 🤔, I think you’re already done suffering! I think you’ve already saved plenty of souls through your own anguish; and GOD simply wants you to be happy for the remainder of your life -that’s what I think!” BUT WHAT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH HAS LEFT YOU “Decimated” [had to look up sp?].

With ANA it was the playmate-partner; With MAGGIE it’s the partner-parent. I think little Ricky felt more a part of with Ana than with Maggie. I think little Ricky is very angry about having Maggie replace Ana! HE HAD HOPED… FOR THE LONGEST TIME… I kept asking Greg my counselor why I feel so insecure with Maggie and so secure with Ana – Even though Maggie has done nothing to harm me and Ana has? What I explained to Greg the counselor was that the part of me that really got injured was a young boy, an infant in fact. The part of me that Ana managed to appease was that part! That is why the fear of being betrayed once again, was so subdued with Ana -even though she had betrayed me. But Greg retorted by stating that Maggie in her parenting was also providing healing. But there’s a big difference between healing, and subduing, and appeasing. Giving a child or an infant what they need versus what they want has precarious consequences. Giving the child what they need doesn’t necessarily appease them immediately. Sometimes it makes them even more uncomfortable at the onset!*

*Besides, what does the inner child care whether it’s playmate is having an affair with or sleeping with someone else? What doess a child care about sex? Only about playing and friendship. Oh, I’m sure there can be some jealousy in there under the right conditions. But it never really surfaced with Ana. Which leads me to this conclusion!

FACEBOOK “Man is becoming greedier. He is turning to his more base self once again. That is the reason prices are going up [CONSUMPTION*]. Don’t fool yourself. That is precisely what is going on with our economy! Why do you think structures like ours only last a couple of 100 years*? One final note “The less he asks of God the more he demands of his fellow man!””

*Resources are running low and man is cutting into them more and more due to his base self increasing over his spiritual self.

*Man is, and has always been -His Own Worst Enemy!

Our attitude has to be different from the world with regard to taking up the slack of others-met deliver

When the moment is good, satan has but no other recourse to twist you back into the past or the present which is bad. True or false,

Some people are desirable among there peers in certain areas. Some people however are desirable anywhere in the world! It’s all a matter of relativity.

The problem for me with FAITH is that GOD allows bad things to happen even to good people. So even if… no matter how far I’ve come… when is it MY TURN? Well? Are those people bad things are happening to, in fact good? 🤔 IF you want to know your future, look at your past. If you want to know what GOD has in store for you; look at what HE has done for you, allowed to happen to you in the past! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I think in my case, GOD has been “very” [Jessica meeting noon] good to ne!

FACEBOOK “Human’s require substance! How can we tell when we’re getting it? And when we’re not?”

People who have not suffered tremendous anguish at the hands of their fellows 🤔… when they face “the risks” associated with every day interactions among human-beings, THEY DO NOT ASSOCIATE SOMETHING EXTREMELY PAINFUL, LET ALONE “BEYOND THEIR OWN ABILITY TO WITHSTAND”. THEY ARE CALM AND RELAXED ->WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO BE WHEN “FACING LIFE”!

EVERY NOW-AND-AGAIN I HAVE “A MOMENT OF CLARITY” with regard to GOD’S awe and wonder! It’s very, very comforting and makes me proud to know HIM -TO KNOW HE HAS MY BACK IF I WANT IT! HE can do everything; HE knows everything; and HE fears nothing! A VERY GOOD MAN TO KNOW! 🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

The more of GOD you can absorb in any given environment you happen to be in…

Every direction we go in, neew doors open, other doors close.

We each… where we are at as far as coordinates go; have individually, places we feel more “at home with”. Feel a connection to!

The deeper you set the bar on a person [look into them], the less their issues are issues for you, to you!

Just about every relationship has something that can be said that will change your partner forever; and turn them against you [atleast decimate their hope, their ability to venture forward together -forevermore].

“People gave up their lives in this country “to get freedom” -and the cost of keeping it “is no less”! If you’re not willing to die “to keep your freedom”, then “you will lose it” -and that exactly what happened with the “Snowden ordeal” and “911 ordeal” respectively -or conjointly!” AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ UPDATE “Death, or freedom rather, is a funny thing: Things have to get bad enough for people to be willing to die for it. A compromise in freedom; often leads to a compromise in willingness to die for freedom; in it’s purist form! Rulers throughout history; take away more and more of the people’s freedom; leading to revolt! Endless cycle!!!! ARE WE LEARNING YET????”

The more privileges are being abused the more they will be taken away, or challenged. That is why it is important that the crop of people existing among societies respect these privileges. Because… these privileges cost*. And whomsoever they cost -are just waiting for any reason, any justification -to take them away!

* And when I say cost, what I mean to say is that “the cost” can be:

▪︎Out of pocket [loss of current revenue or advantage (or depletion)];

▪︎”Potential pocket” loss [loss, or postponement of “potential-gain”] -you see some men operate “one way” others “another way”.

UNFORTUNATELY: THIS IS HUMANITY!

Don’t people or companies care anymore that 5 different companies are all claiming to be the best? Now everybody just claims to be the best and nobody gives a d***? Nobody wants to contend with someone else’s claim?

Did many people refuse to go to Vietnam because it was wrong or because they were no longer willing to die for their country? Was it a combination? Did some people do it for the one reason and others for the other? Or did some individuals have a combination of both working on them inside?

There’s a lot of things the law expects us to put up with Or that in their minds wouldn’t be worth the trouble of going through illegal process. The legal process is long and arduous, but should it be with regard to regard to many of the issues we face in America? I mean should we suck up certain things simply because in comparison seemingly-the legal system really when you Are honest about it… fails us? And then this idea of having to pay for Justice when it falls outside of the circle of “a threat to society”? What about a threat to me?

They’re just men, slaves to their own egos, slaves to their own narrow way of thinking! WARD/AUSTIN

“Healthy people don’t think that way, and if they do -they certainly don’t respond the way you do to those thoughts”.

Most people have a gauge or a m for when they are being over stimulated and under stimulated by their Partners company for example. It exists whether we know it; whether we like it, or not!

It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of; making things cheaper so they will break at a measured amount of time so a person can buy another one. And if that’s what is required for the system to maintain itself-then get a new system dammit!

You think talking all day long on the phone your partner through texting and then getting home at the end of the day and talking some more is healthy? The normal healthy working relationships throughout the day allows for [takes the place of and] the natural issues of want and desire to fill the void so that when you get home you want them all the more and miss them. It takes away the time from the relationship so that when you see each other at the end of the day you want them all the more. It also prevents over stimulation in a relationship between the 2 of you leading to boredom, taking things for granted, and just plain getting tired of each other. But people texting throughout the day on and on has subverted these principles. People are giving into their neediness rather than allowing for a forlorned sense of wanting to take shape. Constant seeking out of attention from your partner and interaction would be considered needing as once upon a time! Maybe that’s why I’m not having the issues I had in the past because I’m constantly being fed throughout the day. It maybe that’s the case with a lot of people like myself. Maybe that’s the case with a lot of people in modern day America who have developed the neediness because their needs have not been properly or adequately meant to begin with and it’s being covered up by this constant texting.

Sure, you ask God to Grant you your wish or your desire-but what do you lose, what do you give up by diverting away from god’s initial and better plan for you? 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

When you are amongst a group of people for example, do you think at all of their well-being?

☆☆☆☆☆What WE MUST strive for is: JESUS’ frame-of-being in all aspects! How often do we speak things, or frame things in ways JESUS NEVER WOULD? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Until you hear it from the person being talked-about, IT IS UNTRUE!

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. HOW SMART YOU ARE, WHO YOU KNOW, HOW PRETTY, OR HANDSIME YOU ARE, HOW SHAPELY YOU ARE, HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE; IN THE AA PROGRAM “WE ALL GOTTS DO “THE DEAL””! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

It might be s very good thing to “ask of GOD”, but your motives may be off! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

WE ASK GOD for things we are perfectly capable of achieving; which imay be why HE DOESN’T… -hasn’t granted it to us?

The Master enters the room and states “I’m here to learn”.

Are the holidays now to boost the economy and for people to make a killing?

When you think about it Tom people putting up shops so they can sell things to the public and get rich and highly successful… as opposed to serving the basic needs of the American Family in a way that is affordable to them. It sounds a lot like a racket to me! Ahhh, give me back the good old days!

Competition in games, our societies are riddled with them. Jesus never competed – This should tell you somyething. Something,coming from the Master who knows all! As for games, I don’t have to say much about that.

Use God’s wall instead of your own send my calling it works better and it doesn’t keep god out and it doesn’t keep the people out that shouldn’t be kept out.

You ever go faster than the speed limit and then hunk at someone for getting in your way when they’re in your way because you’re going faster than the speed limit?

Try to be a little more than fair.

I want nothing but joy and goodness in my heart!

There’s a difference between a person who doesn’t have values and a person who is screwed up. Though sometimes it may be difficult to tell the difference.

It’s not the thing it’s the thinking! The thought that counts?

What man doesn’t like is the fact that GOD doesn’t bend to his, or her whims, like other men so often do -when there is something in it for them or, when it suits him or, when he is confused (even in his best intentions).

The first GOD WE are introduced to as infants is these huge, and often fallable, human-beings! This is where much of our confusion about GOD begins -further complicated by those who have the audacity to speak of GOD with little or no understanding of this GOD and hence proceed to COMPLETELY CONFUSE THE ISSUE ALTOGETHER! IN EXTREME CASES HYPOCRISY! IN EXTREME CASES, GOD ENDS UP BEING VIEWED NEGATIVELY!!!! WE AS PARENTS ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF GOD [to our children; to all children GET THAT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️] whether we wish to be, or not!

I’ve noticed, when I’m in fear I’m very thoughtless of others. So 🤔 the more I am free from fear, the less inclined I am to be “thoughtless of others”.Early in my sobriety I WAS FILLED WITH FEAR -AND HENCE, FILLED WOULD CONTINUAL THOUGHTLESSNESS OF OTHERS!

My GOD…. IS THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT FOR MILLENIA, DON’T TRUST MYSELF BEING AN ALCOHOLIC!

Out in front of the ARID Club about 🤔 8 years ago -it dawned on me WE WANT GOD TO ACCEPT US AS WE ARE IN OUR ENTIRETY; BUT WE PICK AND CHOOSE WHO WE WANT GOD TO BE! SO, I SET OUT TO READ ABOUT THIS GOD FOR THE ENSUING YEARS!

Tremendous love showing restraint. How many of us, if we had “the power to intervene” in our children’s lives when in trouble -ACTUALLY WOULD? ACTUALLY COULD? GOD doesn’t come running every time we get our selves into a jam! 🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

1]Better to believevin GOD and discover there isn’t one… 2]Uhm, GOD didn’t hurt me, people did!

When you know a certain action is going to bring about a negative consequence or unwanted outcome…….. And you do it nonetheless… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

As a child I learned not to trust adults!

You get what you pay for in this life. But some things should not be that way like medical care. Everybody working in the medical field should be afforded the best possible training and education so that they can present that to the public who deserved the very best!

Vulnerability, manipulation, the more vulnerable I feel the more fear I feel… I’m not interested in trusting I’m interested in knowing! Because how can you ever really completely know what people are doing when they’re not in your vicinity?

The system is taking what it can get, that didn’t used to be the case years ago. The system cannot function if it asks for more than what it can get. But people suffer when the system pushes it to the limit which is exactly what’s going on now. And you always have to look at the level of excess consumption going on in society pushing it. Access grieve too. If everybody would pull back it would offer relief but that’s not the direction this society is going in period people are becoming more entrenched with materialism and less focused on principles which soothe the inner savage beast.

Suffering is intended to serve a purpose. But what good is it if a person doesn’t realize they’re suffering?

The world has a special place in it tart for young viral omen to middle aged men. It largely disregards or is very untrusting of them. I suppose everybody pays in one way or another including women, children, elderly… The fact of the matter is that the world isn’t really good to anyone unless they have use for them or desire them or can exploit them in the majority of cases -all tolled!

Watch for enthusiasm to drop off in your relationship-they generally do live a lot but watch for where they actually get oir start approaching the red zone.

Just to give me an idea of how screwed up the world is, I want to Taco Bell and they wanted almost $5 for a burrito supreme, so I went down to Albertson’s and got me a 1.17 pound New York steak for $6.42 which means that a burrito at Taco Bell should be about a $99 at most.

The fact of the matter is that with so many things changing so rapidly, men really don’t know what the long term effects are of the majority of these things because there is so new. All they know is there the raking in revenues in the moment. MAN!!!!!🤷‍♂️

“How far will you have come when you reach the end of your life?”

Sincerity is what determines how much in any given moment in time. The more sincere we are the more we shall receive! The more the door is opened! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I asked, and very quickly I received. “I cannot think of the word, but maybe the LORD will grant it to me. Less than a minute later this came to me “FERVOR”. YOU SEE 🤔 GOD TRULY IS!!!!” 🤷‍♂️

“Protect my mind Lord from all enemies foreign and domestic!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

90% of what people do for example in their relationships is unnecessary-while 90% of what they dail to do is!

Many a man is already derelict in his duties, so when something comes along like covid to mask it.. Like doctors not calling or following up with their patients lab results – Which they were at times already derelict of duty before covered… And they will use the code as the explanation. M&R👫

turning the other cheek; and giving without asking in return ‐ Are 2 of the most impactful, profound, magical actions which can take place among our species!. Given that so often, retaliation and making sure we get ours are so prevalent -AND DAMAGING -AND NON-HEALING -AND NON-ENCOURAGING TO BONDS BETEEEN US!

“GUARD YOUR MIND”

MARCH 8TH 2023

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”)?” 🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “Throughout my life, I’ve never really placed much of a priority on JOY [Serenity] and Happiness! Though what I pursued throughout life -I was hoping would bring me some*!” 🤷‍♂️

*Essentially, I threw away all hope of joy and happiness [and therefore Serenity], in pursuit of these things! 🤷‍♂️

“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!

NOTHING WILL ENSURE FAILURE/FREEDOM FROM DRINKING!

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!

FACEBOOK “Meekness- Thinking more of what others think -than what you think!”

FACEBOOK “One of the earliest things we should teach our children is to never let the world dictate who we are -WHO WE BECOME!”

FACEBOOK “Self-consciousness vs Self-awareness”.

FACEBOOK “DISTRACTION & INTERFERENCE KILL GOD’S PLAN FOR US -THEREFORE, FOCUS & CLARITY!!!!” PURPOSE????

FACEBOOK “Mental [imbalance] vs Chemical [imbalance]-Bi-Polar!”

FACEBOOK “If you’ve still got a lot of changing to do [growing, healing…]; you might want to do it before you get into a long-term relationship!”

FACEBOOK “Many years ago we had freedom and safety in this country. Largely due to the fact that most people were good and decent. You can’t have freedom; And a bunch of immoral people running around your society; And increasing numbers of people angry at you around the globe; Without compromising that freedom in order to remain safe. Our 2 best options to remain safe are:

▪︎To hold ourselves to the highest standards possible*;

▪︎ To ensure that the world is populated with as many good and decent human beings as possible*!

* We are failing in both areas!” 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “Some people only care about being satisfied (sated). Content. They’re mindset is so lacking in any sort of perspective otherwise… that they have no balance whatsoever. A degree of denial… a fortress of protection against anything that might offset, topple…! PEOPLE LIKE THAT DO EXIST!”

FACEBOOK “I understand there are also corporate types likened to serial killers. No remorse or feeling whatsoever! SCARY! 🤔 BUT NOTHING PHASES GOD! NOTHING!”

FACEBOOK “I once quipped, “It’s easy for GOD: All powerful; Never having to worry about starving, or; Finding shelter, or; being assaulted, or; Getting sick, or; Being cold, or; being stranded…””

FACEBOOK “I used to think 🤔 it would be far more interesting to have GOD’S job!”

FACEBOOK “When people feel they are weak, inept, or inferior to a situation; they tend to run away, or avoid, or seek out assistance. When they feel strong and confident, they tend to face and deal with it; or attempt to overpower it! 🤷‍♂️ THAT’S PEOPLE! Ever think about certain situations in life in those terms? I mean really think 🤔 about some of the things that you perceive yourself as weak, inept, or inferior too? That you are in fact weak, inept, or inferior to? Some of those things might really cause you to raise a brow.” 😏

FACEBOOK “If our world is to become a better place; We must move up from the physical realm; We must become better ourselves!”

FACEBOOK “Even when people do you wrong; Stand firm in who YOU WANT TO BE*(**)!”

*When we act like the people we loathe and despise; we begin to loathe and despise OURSELVES!

**Withstand the [initial] shock; And avoid “the ripple-effect”; Avoid “the chain-reaction-effect”; that is continually (consuming and) hammering our species!

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!

FACEBOOK “Some of the greatest medicine; some of the most magical moments in man’s history take place when He has been treated, at times even, in the most egregious of ways, and -responds with LOVE! JESUS WAS RIGHT ABOUT HOW POWERFUL THIS ACTION IS -on the 💕 & 🧠 🧠 of men!”

FACEBOOK “Everyone has their own opinion on beauty; But some things simply are!”

FACEBOOK “Learn from the people who seem less threatened by the world -and appear to fare well!”

FACEBOOK “Well when people are good to each other; one can’t help but heal -become whole again?” M&R 👫

▪︎calm

▪︎quiet

▪︎kindness

▪︎ unconditional love

▪︎growth

▪︎Love doesn’t have to hurt or be painful

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!

Or both? People cannot earn a living without corporate America? Fedex and all kinds of different… When I went over to UPS yesterday and they told me I could no longer have my packages held locally and that I would have to pay the $8.99 fee online… I thought to myself, why do Americans keep putting up with their stuff? Because of what it would take to put an end to it? A lot of us would have to suffer -and we don’t wanna suffer? It’s probably true, the situation we find ourselves in would require pain and suffering to stop it. And of course people on the other end would do their best to resist. And when the dust would finally settle, there would have to be some kind of a compromise. Anything of man that he values -dies slowly! How do we undo this mess we’re all in? I mean this mess being slaves to what or who -if we even know anymore! Do you really believe for example, that this situation where we’re all being drained like victims of vampires -cannot be undone? Of course it can! Man created it, and he can fix it. Now where GOD comes in is -giving man the will to do so. Usually when a lot of people are suffering -somebody is benefiting. You put a stop to that dynamic -and the problem is largely solved! But man doesn’t let go easily when he is on top! The plan is to help all people involved not just certain people!!

Reliance on himself rather than faith in GOD is the order of the day! But with this arrangement where man is getting paid more and more for his works… just how far ahead is he really getting? In the West every time he raises his prices then the guy down the road raises his and the next guy raises his and the next guy raises his and the next guy raises his. The belief is that this is circular. Or a spiral. But the fact that the matter is everything has a beginning. And where inflation begins in the West is with man wanting or needing to be paid more with the time he accrues in his chosen vocation. Once you set the ball rolling then it becomes circular -or so it seems! But if you trace it back to its roots* -it’s no longer circular! So, most of us really are not getting head -except for where the backlash of time allows us to until the circle comes back around to us where the other fella has raised their prices. It’s like with raising the minimum wage. He raised the minimum wage and all the stores raised their prices. So not only do the people who got the minimum wage raise… not get anywhere -but the rest of us end up paying more also -and we didn’t get a raise. WTF 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ The fact of the matter is that in the West, man needs to feel like he is progressing and making more and getting ahead even if it’s just an illusion -that only lasts for moments here and there realistically. In the West it’s all about progress and moving up. How many problems have these 2 things caused for Western civilizations? Along with status and the uneven playing field** and the totem Pole or a hierarchy or financial gradation from top to bottom?

*Speaking of roots, what happened to all the land in this country? I’ll tell you what happened to it. Government took a big chunk of it. While many years ago certain individuals bought up a s*** load of it. Legal or illegal! If this is our country why are we having to buy land? Once again come a bunch of people bought it up early on and started parceling it out to the rest of us. Buying land in a country that belongs to all of us? And what about the world? What about this idea about human beings taking ownership of specific areas while keeping the rest of us out or setting boundaries or restrictions when the world was given to all of us by GOD?

**And they say there are no kings in this country! In this country it’s all about feeling bettor, superior… -based upon your status! You feel better at the expense of other people feeling worse or less. We’re slaves to a structure that really does not lend itself to character-building or application-of-principle or spiritualness -It’s all about feeding the body and being a slave to it! Eastern cultures have been around for millenniums and they were all too familiar with these pitfalls.

FACEBOOK SHARKS: These people hired and placed in think tanks in order to maximize the profits of the companies they work for -don’t these people have families that they should be concerned about with regard to maximizing profits?

Everything is relative and connected correct question maximize profits in your company doesn’t that affect other companies eventually -where you shop? So we come up with some brilliant idea to maximize profits… what do we get out of it -status? A raise? But on the flip-side of it, many people are struggling to produce the revenue being demanded by your company. Some of them likely your family members.

Oh if I’m stronger than you then I guess you better respect me. And if you’re weaker than me then I’ll respect you if I choose or I won’t respect you if I choose [this is the human-will, and twisted-human-spirit at it’s most primitive].

Women being the primary care giver to both us men and women… How do you suppose we each view women? Women don’t generally have relationships with women and men do I mean.

There was a time in this country when people went to therapists to get over their mistrust of people; which was obviously thought of as largely misplaced [misdirected] (or, whether valid (really?), or invalid; a hindrance to an otherwise healthy, productive life) -apparently! But that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer the case. People are genuinely untrusting, and with good reason! But we still have to be able to get out there into the world and enjoy the fruits of our labors right? We still have to get out there and contribute to the economic-wheel right? We cannot turn into zombies.

Some things you shouldn’t get over; I don’t know if your therapist has ever pointed this out to you! Some therapists will spend months with you on an issue that really isn’t an issue; other than the lack of recognition that it is something quite natural, something you should not be addressing as an issue. Other than the fact, with regards to your lack of recognition of that fact. But that ought to take about 5-quick-minutes! And shave off some of your therapists income -or certainly make room for others with genuine issues that need resolving!

FACEBOOK “I’m so tired of this f****d u* world; even after spending years trying to get back on track after the world f***** y** up; You then have to deal with it again -because people have the right to remain f****d u*! And to continue to f****** over other people!”

How hard is it to affect that love to any significant point where for example you would turn your back on them in their greatest hour of need? In most cases it’s unheard of? Except of course when the parent is either had enough [but never stopped loving them] or recognizes it’s not in their best interest to continue…”

We somehow managed for many centuries to do without continually looking at a phone. Sure there were times when people were in emergency situations where these phones now are very helpful. It doesn’t really justify the trillions of hours of people wasting on the job for example or on a date… or with their partner or loved one and constantly picking up their phones and looking at them? I don’t think so. But with the advent of the separation of society, people needed avoid filled desperately and the cell phone has turned out to be the saving grace and our demise. Just allows us to remain separate from one another which is not the solution we should be looking for. Is anybody out there paying attention? You don’t talk to people on phones -you communicate with them; A phone is a communication device and really nothing more! Get it? It was originally designed as such -and nothing more. But nowadays it’s supposed to be some kind of way of having relationships with people which is utterly ridiculous! You don’t have relationships with people through a piece of plastic. Not genuine relationships as defined by GOD’S original intention!

Avoid as much as possible getting frustrated with an apartment. And definitely avoid getting frustrated at something else and taking it out on your partner! It’s so important to keep our attitude as upbeat as possible to avoid these things! Rather than trying to conceal our frustrations in the presence of our partners-don’t you agree? Avoid stinking thinking

Oftentimes the things we are most worried about or concerned with or fearful of regarding our relationships is the thing that ends up destroying them –

Perhaps more so than anything else besides winning the lottery… People in bad relationships hate hearing about how wonderful other people’s relationships are going. As with so many other things in life, fighting, and loving relationships [oddly enough] Staying as relaxed as possible is your best chance at success!

The number one bar against change is that we enjoy those things we should change.

The majority of life doesn’t require man’s intervention!

The only thing you really need in life to feel good and feel positive is to conduct yourself properly. What other people do falls into and affects us in different categories outside of that. You know what I mean by feel good?You know what I mean by feel good? Because it wouldn’t feel right feeling good at a funeral would it?

■ As long as everybody does what they’re supposed to do and doesn’t do what they’re not supposed to do the relationship should be fine between you and between you your partner and the world. Got it?

■ Let’s just keep things light and breezy -just as it has been between us from the start.

■ Every Sunday we are going sit down and touch BRIEFLY on the trash going thru our heads for the week and dump them!

You either:

▪︎overlook something in a relationship and there’s plenty of that required

▪︎ Don’t overlook it but address it so the relationship can maintain integrity

▪︎ Address it and move on or don’t address it and move on because one should never they’re integrity and their person to be defamed to such a degree as to…. The Choice is optional with regards to stain or leaving!

I’m going to give you an order and you’re going to obey it whether you like it or not. “You’re going to exercise your own free will as you see fit -NO ARGUMENTS!” Since man is such a defined creature, maybe GOD should try this approach more often-lol

If you had the imagination of what a human being could be like at their very best… you would want to be one! And of course, if you would stop letting the world dictate who you are….

The greater the awareness, the greater the responsibility, the greater the strength required!

MASOCHISTIC

With ANA I learned not to look at a person as merely physical and to be used, but as spiritual to be loved

What’s in this will eventually come out. Likely in our relationships. It’s a good idea to be free of anything malevolent.

At this very moment there are people out there in their lives because of so much pain and so much shame.

Trust is built by getting to know a person high from but so is mistrust!

Relationships are built and formed overtime and through 1st hand interactions. GOD doesn’t expect any less of our relationship with him does HE?

Our best is always good enough for GOD -but quite often not for man!

When we have done our best, we maximize the possibility of the outcome and… We maximize in so are sales are concerned, the possibility of GOD’S plan to come to fruition! When we tell the truth regardless of the initial outcome… Regardless of the physical outcome.. The spiritual outcome is always assured!

What’s the difference between an active alcoholic with values and an active alcoholic without values?

Keeping your attitude positive by lying to yourself as one thing; keeping your attitude up by being honest with yourself is another! PATRICK O’REILLY But sometimes the only way possible in the moment for we flawed and limited human beings is to lie!

You know what the payoff is for doing things for other people and getting little from them in return? Sometimes people grow to love and admire us and see and cold and empty world has something a little more than that! Now that is not something that tends to happen in the hearts and minds of people when we are playing t** for tat!

There’s a payoff when we choose to remain above in our behavior and our character those around us who chose otherwise – Sadly, human beings are very prone to lowering themselves to the level of those around them and to give up that payoff.

Some things can only be given away and never taken away! A man’s dignity and integrity for example. Can a government force a people in every sense to do something? Can they force someone to become something other than they are! Other than they would choose to be? Can satan? Only through manipulation question mand if those manipulations exceed our own limitations.. Are we to be considered accountable? Can satan, or man’s manipulations ever exceed our own limitations?

☆☆☆☆☆We must exceed the expectations of others! How else are those around us ever to experience…????? Ah yes, renewed HOPE and FAITH in mankind -and in GOD!!!!!

We often lose faith in our fellow’s! Sometimes the only hope we have in mankind -that we can see, and therefore have positive proof of; is in ourselves! SO START THERE! 🤷‍♂️👍🏻🤷‍♀️

Trust by knowing and trusting in yourself to protect yourself from the world. But what else:

Is your partner’s attitude attitude and conduct and feelings towards you appropriate to the person you are? If you are a good and caring and thoughtful person then there are feelings of love and admiration and longing to be with you are warranted. And if these are not the feelings your partner is experiencing towards you then there’s something wrong with them -not you! I think most people are relatively sane however. In my case, it wasn’t always the case. The feelings my partner’s had for me probably… The negative one’s, the cautious one… probably all warranted! But that’s not the case anymore on my part! And there are still people out there that are gonna get their feelings regarding certain realities around them -confused! IT HAPPENS! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Appropriateness I suppose is the keyword! If we become more vulnerable then we are comfortable with; Is weather voluntarily or involuntarily; It’s always going to arouse a certain amount of anxiety or fear!

■ Alcohol is a huge part of our culture. Not only are alcoholics using alcohol excessively but many people who are not alcoholics because it has become a working part of, and acceptable part of our culture. Anything that feels good [or bad 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️] to human beings, human beings are at risk of abusing. Do you think sex is any different? When we give our children the message that something that feels good is OK… A certain percentage of them are going to participate in it. People who are not alcohol extreme success. You don’t think that people who are not homosexual are going to experiment or simply engage in it because it feels good? You are sadly mistaken if you believe otherwise! You don’t know human nature and the human psyche and how it reacts under various conditions… How many men in prison engage in homosexual activity because of the deprivation they face well incarcerated?

Whether you know what you’re doing; or you do not know what you’re doing; whether it’s difficult or not; it’s still subjective correct?

I wouldn’t say a relationship with GOD is like any other -but I will say that in the sense that time spent together developing trust through experiences between one another is crucial -and GOD understands this all-too-well!

02/20/2023 [PRESIDENT’S DAY]

To my way of thinking: 🤔 I would rather choose [redirect my attention to] a suffering of my own design! Is it Defiance [“Screw you life; you’ve held “the reigns” long enough!”]? Is it Ego? Is it Self-destruction? Is it “all the above”?

Some people “take charge” of their lives very early on. And some people “never do”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

GOD doesn’t ask for much -and what HE does ask, is for our own good! So whata’ya say? 🤔

If we are to be even the least bit deserving of what GOD gives us, what GOD grants us… WE MUST be willing to accept it under the conditions HE specifies -it’s the least we can do -DON’T YOU THINK?

Sometimes a child is actually quick enough or astute enough to add something to his regime [knowingly/unknowingly-Consciously/unconsciously]; to become so proficient at that one thing through only one mere experience in his early life. My grandparents on my mother side ment the world to meet. Their family was comprised of people of the highest values, merit. The day they, and my Uncle Harry drove me down to Los Angeles to live with my grandmother on my father’s side… My Uncle Harry proposed a number of questions to test my intelligence 🤔 Questions involving basic reasoning along the lines of physics and math[?]. “If you have a bottle that is 2″ square, with an opening twice that; and it is raining; at what rate will the bottle fill?” “I thought about it for a moment, for a minute, when grandmother stated” “Oh, leave him alone Harry”. This was at 6 -going on my 7th birthday [December 1969-January 1970ish]. I wonder if this brief exercise in reasoning, so prevalent in me later in life -actually layed the foundation for making these these writings?

When you have 7+ billion people who have BECOME TOO BIG [INDIVIDUALLY] -THIS PLANET STARTS LOOKING VERY, VERY SMALL!

Our demeanor and our spirit are comprised of our mind and our heart? Only one inward; and one outward -expression!

Some people make their experiences in early life out to be much worse than they actually were! When you can begin to look back on your own life and realize that 🤔 That it wasn’t all bad, that it wasn’t so bad when you balance out the good… There’s something very magical in that moment!

The only excuse you need for doing a kind act; for making a [significant] sacrifice for another -IS LOVE! So, stop piddling around with all those other lame excuses to try and comfort yourself, or justify what you’ve given up [or lost]! 🤔

We should never be envious of anyone’s good fortune! Don’t you realize the difficulty of living on this plane of existence -And just how desperately in need we are of rooting for one another? I’ll say it again, we should never be envious of anyone’s good fortune -let alone those we presumably claim we love! 🤔

When something good happens to somebody on the job, do you complain to your boss that it’s unfair? You often feel that in the back of your mind since you are either unworthy, or unliked by your boss, or whatever other reasons simply will not be able to garner the same praise or recognition or affection that your coworker received -that the next best thing is to try and have that “special-treatment” towards your coworker retracted? How would you feel if the same was done to you? But if you had worked extra hard on a project that no one but you and your boss were aware of -and your coworkers tried to have the reward you were granted taken away? Can you say with certain -that you know everything that’s going on between your boss and your fellow coworkers? The thing to keep in mind here is not to take away from people who deserve something but to try and fight for what you deserve! Far too often we choose the negative rather than the positive! When something good is happening to somebody, don’t try to take that away from them!

We still don’t understand the universe. If we did, we wouldn’t be sifting through every aspect of it -to try and find individual answers! We would have “the answer”!

The general problem with people is quite elementarary “My dear Watson” -“duality”! We have the one side of us for when people treat us “one-way”; and we have the other side of us for when people treat us “another way”! JESUS -only had one side to HIM!

Some people are satisfied in their relationships and still cheat. Some people will not cheat in their relationships as long as they’re satisfied -but is that good enough? The place you want to be at is through-thick-and-thin -you will not cheat!

Some people give double points, even triple points for the things you do for them. Some give you point straight up. Others a 1/2 a point instead of a full point. Some a quarter point instead of a full point. And others, nothing at all. And finally, others will give you nothing but grief!

GOD not only rewards us for what we do, HE [unlike man] rewards our efforts in spite of [in standing up to] our own limitations as well.

FACEBOOK “People may not respect a doormat; but they definitely respect a person who can take a punch -and continue to be there for them! That particular trait seems to have a profound effect on alot of people!” JESUS!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

FACEBOOK “You can always tell who is in power -because things tend to bend their way. And right now the direction things seem to be bending in is with the government and with corporate America, not with the American public! You look at the 20th century and it wasn’t the case!”

FACEBOOK “You notice there are a lot more rich people in this country these days [and alot more people struggling*]? They get there by over-charging the public! There’s a directly proportional relationship between overcharging the public and excessive profits [how else do you get there????]! But some Americans seem to like the idea of having billionaires in this country! Some people seem to like the idea that our politicians live lavish lifestyles! Really? Additionally, when a company is buying up billion dollar companies, you know they’ve been overcharging you and me!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

*At any given time, there’s a line drawn in a society such as ours where people are struggling and people are not struggling. I’m guessing that as that line goes up, and the number of people in the society that are struggling increases… The more profits are being sucked out of them -and the greater the number of people who are getting rich; or, the richer a few are getting! Remember, there’s only so much to go around! If we lived in a world of unlimited resources; The need to be charitable would be rendered pointless!

FACEBOOK “Telling the truth can be as risky as telling a joke -Perhaps even more so!”

FACEBOOK “The greatest orator, and spiritualist -to ever walk the Earth; spoke truth with love!”

FACEBOOK “Without good intentions -our failures would be mere failures!”

Egos don’t always come out when it comes to material objects or inanimate objects-but it did with me!

Some things we have to shrink down, and with other things we have to grow up! And with some things we have to shrink down karma and with other things we have to grow up!

People don’t generally hang out where they’re uncomfortable That includes inside or outside of themselves! People who are not comfortable with being happy tend to be unhappy People who are uncomfortable with being unhappy tend to be happy. And some people fight through it. And some people make a living out of being uncomfortable and performing just the same. It’s a real gift I suppose! I don’t know if too many EMT’s or doctors or nurses who are entirely comfortable with these taxing and stressful situations.

EGO! FEAR! IMMATURITY! SKEWED-THINKING! MALICIOUSNESS! IGNORANCE! SELF-INTEREST!

FACEBOOK “The only way you’re ever gonna get everything you want out of life -is to want [embrace, accept… -and turn to good…] everything life hands you!”FACEBOOK “The only way you’re ever gonna get everything you want out of life -is to want [embrace, accept… -and turn to good…] everything life hands you!”

FACEBOOK “I think most of the time people are willing to admit to an error provided it doesn’t cost them too much [punitively, materially, egotisticaly]. I think most of the time people who do things intentionally wrong, out of malice, will not admit it!”

FACEBOOK “How is it that things were flexible years ago; and now they’re not flexible -Isn’t flexibility a good thing? Companies used to be able rectify mistakes on their part; and now they’re saying they can’t! Why not? For one thing the inflexibility is to their advantage. Anytime somebody is inflexible personally; it’s usually because it’s gonna cost them something otherwise. Correct me if I’m wrong?” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ [set in their ways?]

FACEBOOK “There’s speaking up to get a particular outcome; and there’s speaking up for yourself irregardless -or even though you know it’s not going to do any good in so far as the outcome. JESUS knew it was futile to try and save Judas; but HE had to be who HE was; and HE had to do what HE needed to do regardless*! So, this answer’s the “age-old-question” “Should we do something even though we know we’re going to fail?” “If that’s who we are -then that’s who we need to keep being.” “And, 🤔 if that’s not who we are [right now] -but who we need to be -then maybe we should practice “this” more!”

*”The fish needed to be the fish; and the old man needed to be the old man!”

I tell you, be prepared for anything; and everything!

FACEBOOK “One of the greatest gifts GOD ever gave to man was -his ability to learn from his mistakes. To learn from failure and to learn from disappointment! But in a Modern-day-America where arrogance and entitlement are more-and-more “the order-of-the day” -man is not interested in these things; he’s interested in success, and winning, and prevailing!”

FACEBOOK “If JESUS knew the outcome; and did the right thing anyways…. Shouldn’t we who do not know the outcome; do the right thing period?”

Corporate America and the government used to fear Americans; but not anymore! What happens when people lose their fear? Not obeying the laws of the land are deeply embedded in fear [for many, and in increasing numbers I believe (or decreasing numbers of people fear consequences -because in many ways, those consequencesno longer exist -flailing social stigma; and an America that isn’t just divided, but breaking down into little groups here-and-there that have no real power to shape things or change things anymore)]. How many people obey laws because they have good values and how many people obey laws because they’re afraid of the consequences? That’s a huge question that needs answering! What percentage of people do the right thing because they have values and what percentage of the people do the right thing because they’re afraid not to? And when you have an individual or a society that no longer has the fear of not doing the right thing and does not have the proper values in place as well…. You end up with a free-for-all! Either values or consequences have to hold us accountable! But I don’t believe that a society can exist based on fear of consequences alone!

FACEBOOK “OUT TO LUNCH?” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ “WE cannot shape OUR country by being overworked, under-informed [or misinformed], and basically being made to feel helpless, and hopeless!” Besides: If the owner of a company is hardly there; eventually, it’s gonna start looking more and more like the company of the people who are there!”

FACEBOOK “What people absolutely dislike “is a person who dislikes people”.”

FACEBOOK “People’s denial is very different when they’re being accused of something they know is true; versus being accused of something they know is a lie!”

FACEBOOK “The people who people tend to want to draw near to -tend to have a warmth and a joy to them.”

FACEBOOK “Getting in touch with what really matters in life begins with thinking about what really matters in life*.”

*But just how do we become aware of something we’re unaware of? “It’s a little bit like learning how to dislike something [or someone] we really like.” Do you see the comparison? One a matter of awareness; the other a matter of willingness. Awareness & Willingness go hand-in-hand don’t you think!

There’s always a right move and a wrong move, even on the basketball court or football field for example.

FACEBOOK “It [often] comes down to what we’re familiar with, what we’re comfortable with, what we are worthy of!”

Awareness is (a mysterious) an incredible thing -we all seem to have it in varying degrees.

FACEBOOK “The more comfortable you get with being comfortable* -the healthier you are becoming!”

*AHEM -Not things we shouldn’t be comfortable with!

When people made a meager living… Things seemed more affordable to those who were poor. But since nobody wants to be poor anymore things; are less affordable! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Trying to “undo” this attitude “takes discipline”. We’re used to seeing undisciplined people here and there; while the main core of society maintain its integrity. These outliers generally struggled to adopt the sort of discipline that could bring them into the mainstream. But now we have an entire generation that is undisciplined and lacking the sort of discipline that could bring them back to where their predecessors were.

“Analyze “E”verything “I”nstead “O”f [an attitude of “knowing it’s right there” will often precipitate(?), promote…].

Is the penalty too high for crime in this country? One thing is obvious; People who commit crimes, don’t want to accept “the consequences”. But what about people who don’t, are they any different? I was told “people are people” regardless of “the time” or “the place”! Most men “feel the need” to “justify their actions” -bullies for example develop an “get to them from now on before they get to me” Attitude. Weak? Sensitive people?

FACEBOOK “We’re like a bunch of fish now -chasing after a worm on a hook. We can’t go back to the old way. Sure we can! But it takes the sort of character and discipline you don’t have!”

Awareness and Openness

FACEBOOK “Keep your mind clear of “weaponry”; keep your relationship clear of “wounds”! Took me 45 minutes to work this one out! Initially -> “Keep your mind clear of “booby-traps”; keep your relationship clear of… 🤔

Most people have a window. Not of opportunity. But of “being this, or being that”. They, 🤔 we don’t tend to be “all over the spectrum -we’re generally at one end, or the other, but with a “window” to operate within. Some people however, appear to have an enormous window [of spectrum]. People who are highly-intelligent for example -tend to struggle [score poorly] in certain other areas (socially?). People who are good in “english” tend not to do so well in “math” I’ve noticed!

FACEBOOK “Some people try to get thru life looking for positive things outside of themselves; some people [actually] get thru life by making the choice [or simply have the gift] of being positive [they seem to carry their own light].”

FACEBOOK “We have to die; and we have to make a choice* [choose a side]. Oh goodness, you didn’t know there was “a side!” If there was “no side”, I think GOD would have given us an out! HE did make one exception perhaps “those who truly DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER will be granted special considerations!”

*And of course, not making a choice -is a choice!

FACEBOOK “I see all kinds of things in the world -beautiful and tragical! Some people cannot, will not, look at both -and be happy! They’re looking for supreme-happiness! Realistically 🤔 life is JOY; life is SORROW! Trying to skew this was the whole point of addiction -wasn’t it???”

FACEBOOK “Bringing out the worst in people doesn’t excuse them or you! Regardless of what side of that coin you , or theyhappen to be on!” 👫 ☺

The thought of coming up with my own idea [concept] of GOD is frightening to me as an alcoholic with control issues, complete self-centeredness, and a closed mind*! My higher power today is the one that I started out with as a boy. My Higher-Power is the one in which millions of pages have been written about. 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes you gotta trust other people. Sometimes you gotta have faith in GOD working through other people.

*But it’s probably a great exercise in countering; and improving upon…

Your problem is you go places in your mind you shouldn’t – Places that affect your ability to function adequately in the world, and to interact satisfactorily with others; but maybe, just maybe -it is “the catalyst” of, for, “these writings”?

In Alcoholics Anonymous we choose “a GOD of our own understanding”!

If there is no GOD, then explain to me how human beings can FXN for years; even decades off of nothing even closely resembling proper nutrition? Try that with a car!

People draw from a number of areas in order to accomplish things in life. You probably wouldn’t believe some of the things people have relied upon in order to accenglish certain things in life, certain things throughout history!

There are things you can buy that go up in value and things that you can buy that go down in value. Try to have a balance.

How many of us tend to buy gifts for people we like? Why not buy a gift for someone you don’t like-you might get lucky! It’s 5050 don’t you think?

“Build each other up!”

When you ask GOD for good things he will generally Grant them! Provided it doesn’t have the potential to be harmful! Provided we don’t turn it into something harmful!

Can we heal a cut? No! “Only” assist in it getting better, rather than worse! Can we create a life?

Things go up but they don’t go down price wise. And when they’re supposed to come companies don’t drop them down as much as they should. Some company’s.

“BE THE REASON SOMEBODY BELIEVES SOBRIETY IS “A GOOD THING”.”

When we give “it” our all; we have done everything within our power to make GOD’S PLAN come to fruition [to not interfere with it anyways]. We have done our part -and that’s all GOD will ever ask of any of us”.

When one person abuses a privilege; we all lose! In fact, human beings are the ones responsible for why our government continues to put more and more restrictions and pause launch. In fact, human beings are the ones responsible for why our government continues to put more and more restrictions and laws on us! By “the juvenile behaviors” of a few! And, the public goes along with it. A country considered free that has more laws than any other country by double at minimum -is no free country at all!

Not everything everyone finds interesting -is interesting. Some things people find interesting -are actually extraordinary!

A lot of people go on eBay selling stuff saying it is an excellent condition. Does that mean it has been used very little or it has been used a lot but still looks great? Excellent condition to me implies both use and appearance not just appearance. But we all know human beings right…

A lot of friendships end or never even get started because we get disappointed. Ever stop to think maybe we’re not supposed to rely on people in that particular area? This person in that particular area? Or maybe we’re supposed to demonstrate to them how to act in that particularly. But if we brush them off… It’s an injustice. Anytime we are given an opportunity to be an example to another person who is weak or wanting in a particular area… we should make our selves available! Friendships or crossing paths with another person are not always about what’s in it for us -strange, or foreign as that may sound. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

GOD does not readily or severely punish people for doing things that are highly offensive to us -but not to HIM -GOT IT?

When somebody harms us, or those we love, we want retribution; When we harm somebody else, or their loved-ones, we want mercy! Always the double-standard!

We see two strangers fighting; while GOD sees two of HIS children fighting! If you found out a complete stranger molested your daughter what would your reaction be? If you found out one of your own children molested your daughter what would your reaction be? Of course some parents… Some parents don’t distinguish between a stranger and their own child in these cases [when it comes to “immorality]..

People want swift and often excessive punishments. GOD on the other hand -is just; and willing to wait for a man to repent.

FACEBOOK “It’s better to be the victim than the perpetrator! Why? Because of the particular side we happen to be on with GOD [that alone]!

Why sacrifice, struggle, go against “the grain” if their isn’t? Well, here’s why – Aside from the fact that it’s better to believe in GOD and discover there isn’t one than to disbelieve in GOD and discover there is one – Doesn’t it feel better to do the right thing? Doesn’t it feel better when we help others and think of others rather than thinking only of ourselves?”

It was bound too happen; man’s ability, if not his propensity to:

■Stay busy [getting out of hand] in order to survive, 🤔 also works in order to thrive. Additionally;

■Stay busy in order to get away from the more difficult aspects of life -> “of humanity” [others, as well as our own]. “As long as we have “plenty of money” Who needs “growth”; who needs social and personal improvement -too much work, too much pain, and where others are concerned 😟 “NO guarantees*“👎

*That is often man’s “go-to-excuse”, “Why should I do “x”; if the other feller isn’t doing it?” And what we end up with with this sort of mentality is an epidemic of laps in personal responsibility; laps in personal integrity!

Whether we want to admit it or not, we let down the current generation by things “WE” set in motion decades earlier! Some look back when “their grandfather” could work and buy a home for grandmother. Now* [and it continues to get worse], two people working can’t afford a home. I joked with my counselor “pretty soon they’re going to have to put the dog to work to afford a house”!

*But you and I both know people are overworked, and overcharged for a number of reasons: Long ago during the feminist movement:

■Two earners means two tax-payers;

■Two earners means “we can raise the price on merchandise and/or sell twice as much product annually”;

■Two earners means there is no one to mind the store at home,so; 🤔 government, and corporate-america can have increasing influence on up-and-coming-generations [which they clearly have:

●Producing generation-after-generation of better consumers;

●Producing generation-after-generation of a people who pose less resistance to “STRONG-GOVERNMENT”! Which clearly is the case. But hey, why stop there? 🤔 And I’ll even throw in an example below;

●Life is either about competition, or about altruism! In a society that is more and more skewed towards the former rather than the latter… The gloves come off, all bets are off, look out for number one… And when AA society becomes more materialistic and feels the odds are increasingly stacked against… And I’ll add in one additional caveat, when values in that society begin to plunder<- [wrong word] “FALTER”, MAN* STARTS THINKING OF WAYS NOT ONLY TO SOAR ABOVE THE COMPETITION, BUT HOW TO “TRIP-THE-COMPETITION-UP” NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES [IF THEY STILL HAVE A FEW SCRUPLES LEFT], BUT THAT OF THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN [a thought from 20 some years ago: How many generations ahead does the average human being think? 2? 3? 4? Shakes his head! Pollution? Waste and greed of limited resources! Jeeeeeeez 🤷‍♂️🤔]! **You see, you may think we are “taking pot-shots” at select groups, or individuals; but the fact of the matter is that “just about everyone on this planet” is culpable*! Save for “The truly exploited and oppressed”!

*If you really want to screw over your enemy!!!!! Get him at his earliest point in development where he is weak, vulnerable, impressionable, and probably a few other things I can’t think of at the moment [instill helplessness, hopelessness… depression and stress- induced “addictions”]! 🤔 Once you have created a highly dysfunctional individual, they will become THEIR OWN CHILDREN’S “WORST ENEMY***”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Ingenius???? Nah, SICK!!!! What we humans are, and what we have the potential to be[come] is often quite dispariting & disparaging!

**Anyone capable of “responsible action”, and fails to “take that action”! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

***Set off a “chain-reaction” [which we are in fact experiencing in America as we speak]! Ever greater gap between “the-haves and have-nots” ring any bells? Mental health issues through the roof which have created more jobs and less competition [of one kind atleast] in the workforce. And for many people, mental health means “BIG-BUSINESS****”!

****This business of of surviving, and thriving is even more inexusable, BASED UPON “THE MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS”… I mean when people start CREATING THESE SCENARIOS IN ORDER TO PROFIT… [Oh believe me, you look at history and people have done far worse]! You don’t think people in the high-tech business have inserted viruses into the public domain so that people can come to them to have those viruses removed? I saw a movie where the guy creates a problem; shows up to solve it -and ends up looking the hero -Scott Glenn? 🤔 Anyways, I’m tired, discouraged -enough about ALL THIS!!!! 😥

Worrying “lacks Faith” -A human-being when worrying -becomes weakened! A human-being who “lacks Faith” -is “highly-vulnerable”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ “Weak & Vulnerable” [one or the other is bad enough] is a BAD PLACE TO BE!

I could never figure out why a company would want to sell something to somebody for less who’s gonna turn around and sell it for more! 🤔 Maybe it’s ethics? A need for us to work together in order to survive? Well, that seems to be “going-out-the-door” rather quickly in this country! You can’t have “HIGHER-PRINCIPLES” and “maximum-profits”! Atleast not to man’s “current way of thinking”. So what man is doing is “dismantling” many of the principles of “his predecessors”, so he can make “greater gains”!

“We can ALWAYS talk about our selves; but there is SO MUCH MORE to talk about!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ THINK ABOUT IT 🤔 WE ARE “FREE TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING” and yet, 🤔 so many of us can only think of talking about our selves! 🙄

FACEBOOK “I’m telling you, you people who are young, and poor, or broke [or not-so-much]; and envious of the rich! Many of them would give their entire fortune to have what you have -YOUTH! 🤷‍♂️ “You have options, they don’t!””🤔

Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today! Think about it!

If your [alcoholic/addict] mind insists on thinking of something -think about GOD! Pray for others!

People with “low self-esteem” versus people with “healthy esteem”. Let’s try it this way:

▪︎When my esteem is up I find myself questioning my worth or value;

▪︎ When my esteem is down I find myself not questioning my worth or value [but it’s very much a feeling, not just cognitive].

Ever think about the people from other eras [past or present], you, or I:

▪︎Share similarities with;

▪︎Could have really hit it off with;

▪︎Could have fallen in love with [mutually];

▪︎I wonder if those who were never able to find love in their own Era will find it in Heaven with perhaps someone from a different era?

It’s a good thing to study GOD’S LAWS [Bible] & man’s law’s!

You great books:

▪︎The Bible;

▪︎ The dictionary.

That’s what A MASTER IS: Someone who can do “that thing” you or I cannot do, extraordinarily well! For example, I can’t fathom knowing “precisely” where “the strings are” while playing the guitar [not hitting “the wrong string” [agterall, they are SO CLOSE TOGETHER]. 🤷‍♂️

Are you the type of person that whether your partner is overweight and loses weight, whether your partner has low self esteem and then manages to find good self esteem… they still want to be with you? Or are you the type of person people want to be with because they have low self esteem and feel as if nobody else would want them? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

A lot of people in this country have great ideas but they won’t share them with you online for example because they want to sell them and make money rather than help their fellow human beings. I’m all for making a living-but once you achieve that status, then what? You’re gonna keep on selling things as opposed to giving things away?

Can’t have it both ways:

▪︎ Ignore or even trample on GOD’S wishes, and;

▪︎ Have HIS blessings at the same time. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

* But ohhhh how some of us try! 😔

Without examples, without someone to teach us; We can take a very long time to learn! I DON’T THINK GOD INTENDED IT THAT WAY! BUT IT APPEARS WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TEACHERS; RUNNING OUT OF EXAMPLES!!!!

In GOD’S UNIVERSE there’s basically one way of doing things; but here on planet earth, there appears to be multiple ways of getting the job done -it has to be that way “for” man, otherwise he would rarely accomplish anything since he seldom gets thing right according to how “THE ALMIGHTY WOULD HAVE THEM DONE”. Additionally, on relationships, “there’s a difference between doing something wrong and not doing it the way “your partner would prefer things to be done”. Alot of people in “American culture” want all sunshine and rainbows -like “The best parts of a romantic novel!

Sometimes I think we take this matter of “carrying one’s own water” a bit too far. We try to make people who are not entirely responsible or able, entirely responsible or able! It’s also a very convenient philosophy for avoiding carrying your brother’s water when he is unable. WHY CAN’T WE JUST…

The system is designed; is supposed to be designed to serve man. But how often do we see the exact opposite? Those men who try to manipulate the system; to use it as a go-between in order to exploit their fellows? Now in order to make this work, they have to make their fellow man: either serve the system; or make him subordinate to it. Thus making him subordinate to the man on the other side of the system. WHY CAN’T WE JUST…

FACEBOOK “Your job is to be the best person you can be; and never mind about what other people are thinking; and never mind about what you think other people are thinking.”

If we don’t want people robbing from each other then don’t make material things the most important thing among that society. And don’t make a shift where there is a gap creating two very lopsided sectors of that society! Once again, we create our own problems. And the rich and powerful who are probably as much or more to blame, have a greater ability to protect themselves from the problem then do the weak and the poor. So their attitude is indifferent because they think they can have the best of both worlds. REMEMBER THIS: OFTEN TIMES, THE PEOPLE WITH THE PROBLEM; DON’T HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE*. THE PEOPLE WITH THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE, DON’T HAVE THE PROBLEM -THIS MUST CHANGE! ONE FINAL THOUGHT 🤔 IF IT WERE OTHERWISE: All the peoples of the world who have problems would be using whatever resources available to them to solve those problems -and the rich and the powerful and elite who are basking in excesses while the rest of the world struggle with the same old problems day-after-day -would be s*** out of luck; because then there would be no excess to bask in**!

*Like for example the people you talk to with customer servicall many of them don’t have the power to solve our problems, and the ones that do we never get to talk to. It’s a system that prevents problems from being solved at the expense of the company. W.A.B.O’.S.

**You, and I don’t know the half of what human beings are doing to each other in this planet

We the people pay taxes so when the shit hits the fan, the elite are the ones protected? People we don’t even like? REALLY?????

Would you trust a stranger with your wallet? Well how is it, how has it come to pass that we trust politicians with our very lives; with the lives of those we care most about; people we don’t even know, or trust, or like????

FACEBOOK “Once we give over our power through voting… it is very hard to change that which was put into place by giving over our power.”

FACEBOOK “We fire employees at fast food restaurants on the spot for far less than some of the things going on in Washington which take months and years to get rid of these idiots. In many cases we never get rid of them. Now we’re not talking about fast food here; we’re talking about people responsible for the lives of millions in many instances. Just what in the h*** is wrong with this picture? It’s more than just unfairness or injustice or a double standard -we are scared shitless to be leaderless. And another thing is that we know all too well our own frailty and our own limitations and our own flaws. Therefore we must have some inkling of our fellow man’s as well. I mean on a subconscious level we must be granting some degree of understanding to this whole miss that never seems to go away! But to the people on top show us the same?”

“Sometimes I wonder, why don’t we ever run out of sand? After millions of years of wind -surely it must have moved to another area? And what of erosion for millions of years -surely everything you would think would be laid flat, or filled-in by now lol? GOD!!!!!!”🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Just because it happens to be true doesn’t mean we should say it. Yes it happens to be a lie…Sometimes what we think is a lie turns out being the truth!

Some people look great, but their body-chemistry is not -how shall we say 🤔 ideal! Toxic blood?

Competition brings prices down. So why wouldn’t businesses want to eliminate competition by cooperating between themselves -if not monopolizing?

Don’t waste your time and energy getting angry at the people who hurt the people you love, use your time and your energy comforting the people you love.

It’s not indifference that prevents GOD from acting, it’s strength! Strength combined with wisdom and love (atleast that’s our humanistic viewing capability)!

A movie for example has 2 values:

▪︎ It’s own, and;

▪︎That of the public’s value of it.

Entertainment is so successful in this country because a lot of people use it to run away.

I’ndividualistic: Man insists on being individual in his conduct and in his person. To the point where we cannot even be consistent with the 2 most important areas:

• How we treat each other, and;

• How we rear our children. M&R 👫

If we cannot even love someone else’s child… the foundation of all human connection!

Humans are so material, physical… too much! Comfort, safety.

What past tissues did your partner have in their relationships? Have they resolved their sexual issues they were abused?

There’s a difference between having the best you’ve ever had and having what you want-a lot of relationships start out Gray because they’re better than anything before, but then as the person begins to find themselves they realize this person isn’t everything they ever wanted.

Is it a good thing to be able to tell a partner everything about you and still be accepted? Let me replace that, is there a good thing to be able to tell a partner everything? Is it a good thing to have a partner you can tell everything too? Well I suppose that depends on what you “have” to tell them. Is it safe to say that a healthy person can only take so much? Or should only take so much?

Do the very best that you can buy your partner: If that’s good enough 👍🏻; If it’s not 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ If your best isn’t good enough in your relationship then it wasn’t meant to be-but how many of us narrow give our best? How can we not do our best on the job for example, lose that job or get let go… and then say “Guess it wasn’t meant to be?”

People generally lie to avoid, and fake to get!

People often fake because either it takes too long to become the genuine-article; or they never will be. There’s so much lying and faking going on in this country. 2 reasons:

▪︎ We’re very judgemental of each other;

▪︎ Because unfortunately -it works*!

Why do politicians lie and manipulate? Because it works! Why do men* lie to women to get him in the sack? Because it works! In both cases “often”** because we want something for nothing. Something we should be doing for ourselves! So we set ourselves up. We are our own worst enemy.

*Men often lie because it’s the only way they can get anywhere. If [some] women were more accepting, and more humble… Men wouldn’t have to lie would they?

**Selfish and self-centered driven motives!

Once a person has become [been made] aware of something, they are changed forever [I remember 🤔 hearing this exact conversation as a little boy at my stepmom’s parents house -found it quite odd as they were very simple people; but sharp nonetheless].

One of the reasons society is so screwed up is that people don’t dare reveal their true selves; their true problems. We’re not only not a very open society; but we’re also a very judgmental one. We have problems we refuse to reveal, and; we judge others when we discover theirs! How screwed up is that! The 1st step in getting better is being honest with ourselves. The 2nd one is… [Sometimes] Opening up to others [which sometimes helps us with the 1st]. We fear, and rightfully so, losing our relationships, losing our friendships, losing our very livelihood by being open about who we really are. A society is not only measured by its attitude towards those in need [how it treats the weak, the vulnerable], but it’s attitude towards who one another truly are! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Once a person has become [been made] aware; they are changed forever. Hollywood, the advent of video [acting, portraying on stage…TV, theatre, drama, movies, instructionals…] brings a whole slew/sleu of awareness’s to humanity. Many of those awarenesses are good. But in a society that is slow to change… Those awarenesses create issues among [its] people. People for example, watch a movie and they see certain attributes in an actor or character and then they turn around and look at their own partners* [often in utter disgust, disillusionment, disappointment]. A lot of people don’t even realize they’re being abused -who are in fact. Abuse can be very subtle! Very hard to catch! Especially when we want something to succeed so badly!

*And if our partners refuse to change**? Seeing that person in a different light day after day, week after week, year after year can wear on a person. It’s not just that people we are in partnership with are unhealthy [and the often startling awareness(es) that has/ve somehow been brought to light], it’s our immature, narrow/limited, self-serving, inexperienced mentality that is at issue as well!

**Part of the issue in our country is… as I disclosed to a friend of mine Dale a couple of years ago… “Character-building in this society does not seem to be a top priority.” If you bring awareness into a society that is unwilling [slow; say over generations] to change… PROBLEMS*** 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

***Perhaps this is an even bigger cause of divorce in this country!

Sometimes people kissing a**, appealing to a person’s ego, or appealing to [needling on] some hidden underlying issue 🤔 -WORKS!

We think of exploiting someone in our lifetime so that we ourselves can enjoy the spoils. Now there are people who see this plan over the course of generations. A very interesting approach. Considering they themselves who initiated it won’t be alive to see the end result. This is actually somewhat spiritual in nature save for the exploitation part. As they say, “satan knows The Bible better than anyone.” 👹

02/06/2023

Some people can’t seem to avoid being successful! Some people can’t seem to avoid having trouble having time to themselves.

With regard to various people in our lives…. Sometimes we just can’t seem to get well enough in time!

There are some real geniuses out there that can’t quite it to the top; And yet there seem to be some people with below average intelligence who do! So what does that tell us?

NWO “if we can get, or reach “just enough…” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Families ask for X, Y, Z…. NOT REALIZING THAT IF YOU MUTIPLY THAT REQUEST BY 10X 20X [PATIENTS UNDER THEIR CARE], ITS NOT SO FEASIBLE!

Be prepared to be COMPASSIONATE [among other things] AT ALL TIMES!!!!

“Is your “Respect-meter” set @ “MAXIMUM-SETTING” at all times???”

What idiot didn’t think that eventually all this pollution would begin to destroy this plan at? Or were we only concerned with how it affected our generation?

The rich and the desperate keep businesses from closing are lowering their prices!

Would you fight someone if they cut in line in front of you?

They’re going to start classifying foods! Fat! Sugar! And price them accordinly… The more time a man has on his hands… and the greedier he becomes…. When man has a lot of time on his hands he tends to think about how he can better his own situation!

One should not be thinking in terms of “keeping the relationship going”, but in terms of “keeping the relationship growing”!

From pain 💔 😢 😪 😞 😔 😫 people either grow cold [toward others psin] or sensitive [to others pain] or something in between!

At times it feels impossible to fail! At other times it feels impossible to succeed!

You can’t always flinch because you didn’t get the reaction from that special person you were hoping for.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

A person get thrown off “their balance-beam” [tilted/jilted] by something overwhelmingly bad or good [Maggie and “the $500.00”]. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I am at my worst when “I worry” [lack FAITH] and “am into self”. This seems to be when my “personality-disorder” thrives! “NO GOD and KNOW GOD”. When “THE SELF” takes center-stage and GOD gets pushed to the side. Like I stated previously “sometimes it feels impossible to fail [like I’m on top of the world]; other times it feels as if “the weight of the 🌎 is upon my shoulders [I don’t like that feeling]. And every time “the latter” comes around “I flynch”. I don’t want to keep putting Maggie through this. I’ve already had a couple of “minor-episodes”. I’m here to COMFORT, not to complain [be comforted]. I’m here to give, not to take [receive]. I seem to try and get through the day with minimal contact with GOD; and that just doesn’t seem to work! When I worry; when I doubt myself; that’s when I know “I’ve strayed too far”!

The only one who is ever guaranteed to win the lottery is the government! It’s amazing -because people hate paying taxes to the government! A 100 years ago none of this b******* would have flown along with paying money to pay a bill and buying water. F****** people are just getting rich off of us man. What happened to this country? People wouldn’t put up with his b******* before. And another thing, this country couldn’t survive if people were sitting around their houses like “The Waltons” in the evening talking to each other; showing an interest in one another’s lives [instead of out spending money; weak as a result of being disconnected from one another; oh, and uninformed or misinformed (man’s playing a game with his fellows “a power game” -which is really weakness when you think about it [seeking power in the weakest arena])! They need for us to be overworked and separated from one another and therefore empty and needy”! The “Addiction-model”.

How many times do I have to say it “Just because it’s legal -doesn’t mean it’s right!” “Just because it’s illegal -doesn’t mean it’s wrong!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ Man, society, the authorities… don’t always get it right [or wrong 🤔].

Sometimes it’s better for the soul to live in the past rather than in the present! But sometimes it’s better for our relationships to live in the present rather than in the past! 🤔

A person has the power in most cases to either make a person not care about them one way or another or to fall deeply in love!

Not wanting to be there for people is one thing; Not feeling up to being there for people is one thing; Having something else you’d rather be doing rather than being there for people is one thing; But not being there for people is something entirely different!!!!! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

When you reach a point where you seek to avoid trouble with people -even when there’s cause for trouble… You can almost be assured that with human beings for reasonably kind and thoughtful and drama free, and even more so with people who are extremely kind and thoughtful and drama free.. Your life will basically be filled with thoughtfulness and kindness and drama free!

Some people see the world as a dark place and aren’t interested in doing anything less than returning the favor!

How condescending are the roles given to certain character or featurevictors?

Don’t think too interested in reality down here -hence “the writings”.

Why didn’t they put black candidates on trial and ask if they’d ever used the word “cracker”? BS [all for show].

Isn’t it evident that mass shooters are weak or frail? Why would they act as they do if they were strong?

We should be as grateful when we receive; as we are desperate when we are lacking -with the same degree of emotion -if not more!

The way used to be, music is a reflection of the times

In a new relationship someone always farts first!

How many of us are slaves to money? Instead of slaves to GOD’S good principles.

When you are still toxic or significantly traumatized, you tend to listen more to the overwhelming feelings coming out of you in spite of [or based upon…] the consequences!

Not only am in a place now in my life where I don’t want to hurt anyone; unlike in the past, I am no longer willing to suffer the consequences of doing so! Suffering the hurt, and most of all -the losses!

In recovery we learn to take the bricks down from the wall and lay them as our new foundation.

There’s a difference between being functional and being healthy. There are many successful people in the world; but their relationships suck. The utlimate demonstration of a persons emotional,.mental and spiritual health is the quality of their relationships -Relationship with themselves, others and GOD.

When people do for each other -it’s a sign!!!!!!!! Of character, of Love, of GOD in them!

There are plenty of strong people in the world -but what the world needs more of is strong, caring people!

Just as I got it wrong with Daisy being malicious towards people around us calm when in fact she was protecting me as Amy pointed out… my grandmother got it wrong with me when she didn’t realize I was trying to protect myself from the 🌎 rather than trying to be a malicious individual! A malicious child!

God showed me.something a number of years ago, a difference between myself and a couple of people in my life. One was my uncle and one was Ana’s husband Ray. These two men have always shown their spouses the utmost respect. Never yelled at them, raised a hand to them, cussed at them -that I know of lol. So, I know that my uncle was extremely close to his mother, and had the highest respect for her. So one day I asked Ana about Ray’s relationship with his mother, and what I knew of my uncle’s relationship with his mother was the exact answer that I got from Ana in regards to Ray’s relationship with his mother! What I was onto through this whole thing was -how they treat their spouses; and their relationships with their mothers . With regards to my mother, among other things; I was afraid of her. And with regard…and with the exception of the first few months of bonding, our relationship could never progress beyond that point. With regards to my grandmother who raised me, she was a very good woman in every aspect- except she was Ill-equipped to deal with the symptoms of my trauma; which aroused her anger, and resulted in verbal and physical abuse intermittently throughout. So just as the respect and high regard for their mothers carries over to their relationships… my fear, and eventual disregard for these two women -carried over into my relationships. 😔

Go for the things that are striking to you, why piddle around? Why? Because you have in you forces in conflict which cause you to compromise what “you ultimately want and deserve”!

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT:

●GOD EXISTS

●IS GOOD

●IN A HEAVEN

●There is a devil

●That some day our souls will reunite under one GOD based on evidence and what I have read!

It’s amazing how little we know aboit one another when we ourselves are human. 

All we need to know about humanity is within ourself!

How can we as adults not related to children when we ourselves were once children ?

Why do people need to go.to acting school to learn how to act human?

There is a difference between talking too much and saying too much.

With regard to GOD, better to feel undeserving than deserving!

If it would be possible to dissect your soul, what would they find inside of it? 🤔

You can go based upon the time something was made and count forward. You know what happened at the very least. That time, or after that time, but not before it! On the other hand, not going by “date-created”; but more as a “point-of-reference”, you can go forward, or backwards from that point!

The healthier you become, the more understanding [the healthier] the abilities of the people we are surrounded by.. The more understanding we require [the more unhealthy we are], the less understanding we are apt to find in the people we attract because of our level of dysfunction and toxicity.

Alot of people can’t even see “the problem”!

Two major issues in politics:

1.Values

2. Maturity

3. Peer pressure

4. Pressure from opposing forces lacking maturity and values!

Where are we going? Where are we headed? Are we ascending, or descending? WE SHOULD WAYS HAVE OUR FOCUS ON WHERE WE”RE GOING, AND WHETHER WE ARE ASCENDING, OR DECENDING?

Some people age but never make the leap to a partner of their current age as it increases, current maturity as it evolves. 🤔 Granted there’s is evolving itself!

We have to become givers and stop being takers -IT’S THE ONLY WAY!!!!!!

I’m not sure about this one,, but I’m going to take a shot out of any ways… We can always play the game in our head with regard to where the line is placed regarding outcomes and expectations; However things get a little dice here when it comes consequences. Human beings are notorious for taking a minimalist approach to life. We do things half hours all the time. And not only do our outcomes fall short, and expectations fall short, but the human race itself is plagued with consequences as well. Think about how much of the aforementioned would go away if we gave a 100% every time!. But don’t forget that when we give our all we evolve much quicker and we learn much quicker. Which is to say that not only would we not be in the same place circumstantially but evolutionary! Now just think about that! 🤔

Earlier today I was visiting my end in the hospital. They have CNN on the television. I’m sitting here listening to the same problems that have existed for GOD only knows how long among humanity. And the thought that came to mind in that brief period was this while the topic raged on about “politics-as-usual”; Until mankind as a whole learns to be a giver rather than a taker… These problems will never get resolved!These problems will never get resolved!

I think when you try to draw sympathy out of people they resist. When you cut a lay things out there without an expectation over that manipulation… I think it’s more apt to come out naturally from people. I think the other thing is that the healthier that you become, the universe near to you that are more capable of these higher human traits or spiritual traits.

Just because it sounds great doesn’t mean it’s true!

I’m tired of going out there into the world and seeing people doing whatever they wish. We’re supposed to be the most intelligent creature on this planet! And many of us cannot even offer a simple greeting or acknowledgment to one another! If you look at the direction this country is going and you can’t help but deny that there is something at work to our own detriment.

FACEBOOK “Just because life is good for SOME -doesn’t mean it’s good for everyone! When are we gonna start helping our fellow human-beings by saying “NO” to the things we can afford because so many people around us cannot? It’s time to put a stop to the ridiculousness going on in our Country. Ridiculousness [illness -according to Native Americans] which is allowed to exist and to thrive because a certain part of the population only thinks of itself! This Country is hanging on “by a thread”; by “‘the haves, and the ‘have-nots'” who are desperately trying to keep up”. “THE system, more and more is trying to, or needs to exact as much from WE HUMAN-BEINGS as possible in order to SURVIVE and THRIVE SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!!! URGENT MESSAGE!!!!! THAT’S NO WAY TO LIVE!!!!! NOTHING IN GOD’S UNIVERSE CAN SURVIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS FOREVER!!!!”

STOP CYCLING!!!!!!

I jumped in my car, I get out on the road, I wonder just how many people… scratch that, I get the feeling most of these people could give a s*** about the person or people around them! Just rushing by… Worried about their own little plans and schemes – People either lack the good sense or the urgency required to make them realize the importance of relying on one another and connecting with one another! WAKE UP #37!

FACEBOOK “Having enough of what it takes… what it takes with regard to you -is very different from what it takes with regard to you and another human being you are connecting with in a [potential] relationship. I don’t think a lot of people out there have enough for the latter; but they choose to get involved anyways -Because they simply cannot fathom a life alone [or simply don’t think at’all]! BUT THAT’S “NO WAY” TO GO ABOUT STARTING A RELATIONSHIP!”

FACEBOOK “It’s ridiculous how hard some people have to work to earn a buck. And ridiculous how hard some people don’t have to work to make millions!” The 🌎 we live in! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️😔 When you think about how miserable some people feel about all this and how overjoyed and ecstatic others are about all this… Don’t you think there’s just something not quite right about this picture? That maybe, just maybe something inside is urging us TO MAKE A CHANGE? I used to say that people on the bottom want change and the people on top don’t. The fact of the matter is everybody wants change! The poor want things to change for the better – while the rich also want things to change for the better. JESUS CHRIST! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Anybody ever here of the concepts “be grateful for what you have” and “be content in all things”?

Taking

Maturity—-+—-Values

Giving

If you are unsteady and shaky when things are going perfectly… Either something is very wrong or perhaps maybe you will fare better when things are not going perfectly? This is a big problem for dysfunctional and unworthy people!

It’s one thing to tell a person you can’t rely on the world for yourself worth and self esteem. It’s an entirely different matter telling people you have to find self worth and self esteem in spite of the world treating you like your valueless and disrespecting you. For some people that’s just not gonna happen! Some people’s limits exceed this demand while others fall short of it, and in certain situations well short of it! In order for all of us to be able to meet that go… we must stop tearing each other down!

There’s the subordinate self and there’s the conquering self. The subordinate self often can be found with family.

Man manufactures things to stay busy.

Years ago kids helped their parents as adults not the other way around.

We’re not resolving any issues in Washington, but we’re all getting paid and some of us continue to get rich while others continue to get poor.

Your problem isn’t that you said yes your problem is that you said yes with air against rather than with humidity.

Man often tackles the problem he wants to rather than the problems he needs to. For various reasons of course.

All these problems that can only be resolved by the average American citizen, and yet we have become so neutralized….

In any long term problematic situation one must ask themselves, who stands to benefit most from the way things stand? We know in the current state of affairs that satan is most definitely!

Man is notorious for taking advantage of opportunities when the grass is green; and when the grass is dry!

Some people will only be cured so long as they continue following their Doctors orders “for the remainder of their natural lives!”

JESUS couldn’t accomplish ‘“X”, but one man can huh?

Chain reaction among mankind. Like that machine full of ping-pong balls. 🏓 In am egg-carton type apparatus. You throw one in and they all pop!

We like our news-people pretty!

Oftentimes, [certain] problematic-types appear issue-free because their partner brings with them issues into the relationship. And as long as there is a problem present, the seemingly “issue-free indivual’s issue is being satisfies covertly [in disguise].

WE MUST STOP feeding off of each other!

We have to FIGHT IT! OUR TENDENCIES WITHIN! ATTACKS FROM WITHOUT!

Some people, even whole societies react counter to the standard reaction. Some reaft negatively to beauty, to goodness!

Certain societies, certain periods, man has gone with little change@ IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT! UNLESS YOU CONTINUALLY WANT:

YOUR OWN Circumstance to continualky change!

Want to remain soooooo busy [running away; over-shooting; over-thriving]!

If you overshoot, you may fall short, but atleast you will fall further than if you had either understood or shot for ‘the mark”! Shoot for the moon and you’re bound to hit the stratosphere at the very least.

When the treatment or plan becomes a working part of one’s lifestyle, it is no longer a treatment, or a cure. No More than brushing one’s teeth or drinking 8 glasses of water a day.

The problem is that the patient, even under the best conditions is responsible for giving the therapist the information [memory, perception, limitations in truthfulness, limitations in couragessness…], and history to work with!

Man’s got to have “a reason”! Once that has been vanquished…!

If you wantto be MORE THAN HUMAN for those you care about; you MUST transcend [through effort] beyond this plane of [physical] existence!

We often fall short; because we fall short in our efforts to be connected to GOD WHO IS EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING 🤔 [can take us to a level (of performance) never before imagined]! Try it for yourself!

I told myself yesterday, “there is nothing more to be discussed”. Then… another episode! 🤷‍♂️🤔 I hide behind words!

They did it -they found a drug to fit every one -THE CELL PHONE! WITH MORE TO COME! GOD I wish everyone would throw them in the trash! So we can start acknodging each other again!

People take a step forward in therapy, and society withdrawals a step further!

Sometimes I can’t… sometimes I think I can’t think of anything to say so I talk aboutyself, how I’m feeling, what’s on my mind -issues stirring…

Companies hire people not fully qualified -but they want full pay! Bunch of shit is what it is! Especially when you sign a contract!

You can’t buy groceries with A-TV -so they’re at a disadvantage! But we the consumer act like we are

If you could see every part of your stuff laid out and dissected what would they look like and what would be inside of them?

What do people generally look for in a relationship? And what are they looking to get out of them?

●Belonging

●Value

●Importabce [Somtimes ]

●Understanding

●Stimulation

●Connection

●Companionship

●A future [with a certain certainty]

●Security

Nothing is independent of God-except sin I’m guessing? Everyone has a gift or gifts! I wonder if those are at least semu-independent of GOD? I mean when our connection with GOD begins to drift… Do those at least remain intact? Because many of us do not have certain things important or pertinent or paramount to day-to-day survival.

I tend to operate from my head more so than my instincts or nature. And it’s very draining and it’s not nearly as effective as GOD!

like to use the physical mechanisms of the world to better understand the spiritual! For example come in the physical world you need a minimum amount of things, thanks stemming from a certain type of effort? In order to bring about a certain effect? I’m guessing it’s that way in the spiritual? Of course it’s all GOD in either arena?

A person can play to their strengths – But then again, how are their weaknesses ever to become strengths? People quite often persist in working on their strengths rather than their weaknesses! They practice on there flaws as opposed to “the antithesis of their flaws”!

So what usually happens in relationships to go South? People change the formula. Two things: People stop doing what work in the 1st place [slacking off; loss of interest…]; Their expectation change [another type of “formula-change or 🤔 the other side of “the proverbial l”coin” so-to-speak]?

“STAY SHARP!” “LOOK SHARP!”

As you change the dimensions of a square to a rectangle, you lose area. Keeping the same perimeters in overall length though…. 10x10x10x10 =40 5x5x15x15 =40

*In Alcoholics Anonymous as with any problem; there’s always a conflict! When the conflict becomes large enough… This of course is subjective!

Any man can attract a woman with money! I know there’s going to be some booze from the gallery -but think about it! There should be some Cheers at this stage – Try to attract a woman solely based on self? A lot of people simply cannot do it! Because their self is lacking.

Man uses compensation; he uses substitution… In many cases anything but what hes supposed to or what is availed to him.

As a woman, when you see another man who’s better than your own partner what does it get you thinking about-if anything at all?

Who’s running things in your life-and how good a job are they I mean? I don’t think whoever’s driving mine is doing a very good job all the time!

The term integrity is so pervasive in nature that it even applies to science as well as the human character!

We show so much [more] reverence to bosses and to authority figures in comparison to GOD-now just how do you suppose that makes HIM WHO DOES EVERYTHING FOR US feel!

I wonder 🤔 if satan can give us power as well -to further his own agenda in our lives. After all, a completely powerless human-being… Human-beings without [GOD’S] POWER are pretty useless. Even with regard to their own demise! I’m guessing we humans need some degree of power, not just [self] will in order to further satans plan for our own destruction! Which brings me to this next thought two minutes later: Are we each given equal power? Unequal power? Is it an issue of “our each accepting that equal power”? And the reason some have more power than others lies in this “acceptance”? To be clear, without power, of what use is “free-will”? GOD MUST ALLOW ONE WHILE PROVIDING THE OTHER [or provide, and allow both?].

People only, or totally, appear like dirt [trash] to us; when we ourselves are looking to get from them what they are [Selfishly?Maliciously?] unwilling to give us! Since this was not JESUS position… HE did not possess “that goad”! 🤷‍♂️

If you look at a situation where people are sensitive and fearful versus people who are not sensitive and not fearful… Same situation but completely different attitudes! Also the fact that both people happen to be human! And yet what they carry inside of them makes all the difference in the world!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🙏🏻 And/or what they don’t carry inside of them!

Is there more strength in numbers with all Whites or all all Blacks or all Chinese or all Latino’s? Or is there more strength in numbers with Whites and Blacks and Chinese and Latinos mixed together? JUST THINK ABOUT IT!

Some things make a ton of money; Some things don’t make any money at all -is the latter of any less value? Perhaps it depends on the situation! Perhaps it depends on the particular individual or individuals before you [you are surrounded by]. With some people -money will always be “the end-all-be-all”!

There is only so much to go around -did GOD make it that way; 🤔 or did man? Listening to the song “I Hope You Dance”. In the comment section someone states “Don’t fear the mountains ahead; Go for your dreams”. Well, just make sure your dreams are not those shared by too many other people; because there is only so much to go around and then it becomes a competition!

Some people share things to get a result. I mean there is communicating with the people around us in order to get a result. And then there’s sharing and communicating with others around us simply to stand our ground or to say our peace [irrespective of “external outcomes”]. Some people have no interest in the latter! And some people have no interest in the former!

You produce enough material; and something’s bound to resonate -become a hit!

How many healthy people do you think exist out there? The question deals with mistrust. There are two kinds of people out there in the world: The kind who would seek to destroy everything that is generally considered near and dear to most of us; And the kind who don’t! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “A person would have to be “crazy” not to want what some people have “to offer”! And some are just that!🤷‍♀️🤔🤷‍♂️

The town I LIVE IN is a humbling place; filled with people who refuse to be humbled! When you’re in turn; leads to a town filled with angry people! Many things require at least 2 elements! Many things are comprised of many elements! But usually the things that are comprised of only one thing [or element] -tend to be pure [from GOD above]!

… And the other side of that coin is the human imperfection we encounter on a day-to-day basis amongst one another that never seems to relent. Never seems to improve!

Apologizing too little is a sign of what? Apologizing too much is a sign of what?

FACEBOOK “When we complain -it’s because something is bigger than us! Think about it 🤔 -why do we only complain about “select things”; why not everything? (Because certain things we’re able to “sluff-off” right? We’re bigger than it! We’re bigger than that -right? Isn’t that the saying?”

The more we can make bigger things small throughout our lives… Isn’t that what bodybuilders do through sweat and effort and using their minds and using their minds over their bodies?

“Shrink it down”. Scratch that -[YOU] BECOME BIGGER!

When we stand up for ourselves 🤔 we are asserting an “injustice” has been done. Now unless you are master in this area… the jury is still out as to whether or not an injustice has been done. Moving forward, 🤔 the person, persons, or agency we are whose treatment of us, or conduct we are disputing will either say “oh my goodness, I didn’t realize…” 🤷‍♂️ Or, they will be too embarrassed, even though they knew what they were doing, and pretend they didn’t know, or 🤔 make up some excuses. Or, 🤔 they know exactly what they are doing, what it is they are trying to get out of it -and will refuse to relent. This is perhaps the biggest “problem-causing-symptom” of man’s existence! Where each of us draws “the proverbial “line-in-the-sand”; and when one persons line crosses over into another’s. And when we say for example, “some people are rely F’d up” what we are actually saying is that “just where they are drawing their lines [with regard to…], is all fucked up”. People cannot cause trouble for one another, the planet… without crossing over into someone else’s line, boundary, space [on whatever plane that happens to be: spiritual; physical; emotional; mental]… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “There’s only so much to go around; so we know somebodies got to lose! Do we really want to keep playing this game?”

FACEBOOK “Amazing how many of us play games with the problem; and the “symptom(s)-of-the-problem”. To the extent many don’t know the difference!” And why do we do so? Because we’re either constantly chasing after something, or; 🤔 constantly avoiding something -that’s why!

Never laugh longer than your girlfriend.

Some people don’t notice subtle changes -and man uses this to his advantage!

FACEBOOK “We only have 2 options: Trust in GOD, or, go our own way; but you might want to keep in mind -it’s HIS Universe!”

The best thing; and the worst thing GOD ever gave man was -a free will!

LORD do not give us easier lives, but give us greater strength to deal with life!

Why can’t our family support one another -like other families do! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ My Aunt & Uncle set the tone -that’s why!

☆☆☆☆☆You always screw up [vacillate (vascilate m/s)] when trying to learn something new. Don’t get discouraged!

FACEBOOK “What do you rate your relationships at at this moment? One to a 100? What was it in the beginning (100? -of course it was; many people don’t stick around for “mediocrity” (by-product of an “attitude-of-arrogance and entitlement”)? In the majority of cases [in this country] that number drops (overtime -some not low enough to reach expulsion(?); but unhappiness, and disillusionment are quite common occurrences)! Anybody care to refute this statement? Humans are notorious for changing their attitude [and hence their behavior] once they feel “confident” about something! Or have been “satiated*””!

*Had to look up to be sure after-the-fact. 🤔 Will change if wrong selection of term was used. BRB “Nope, it’s correct!” 😁

FACEBOOK “Why is it that when something gets written into law [when we exercise our power in a vote -we essentially give our power over to another; and once we’ve done that, it can be very difficult to reverse] and is later found to be damaging -it is so hard to get rid of? Why is it when something [new] is introduced into our society, that makes people alot of money, and is later found to have a detrimental impact, is so hard to get rid of? People are opportunists; and life for many is perceived as “taking the good with the bad”! This is true with regard to GOD and HIS plan (“change-of-plan” after man took “a left-turn in the GARDEN OF EDEN”); which [NONETHELESS]: is; always has been; always will be; ULTIMATE GOOD [LEAD US TO SALVATION -IF WE STICK WITH IT]! When man plots a course on his own, he almost invariably ends up “in troubled-waters!” And finally, along with being an opportunist, man is a sadist and a masochist (just ask many of our children openly, honestly -about certain “childhood-experiences” 🤔)!” VOTING AND SPENDING MONEY [giving our monies to someone else]; I don’t think most people really understand “the gravity” [the science] of it all!

FACEBOOK “That’s often people’s problem… “we’re on the right track; 🤔 but then we start to think about it; we start to think about what it costs us!” GOD’S plan always costs! But anything in life does too! But the latter only leads us upwards! Understand?” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK “We help each other with satan’s plan! We screw each other over; then we no longer want to have anything to do with each other; this leads to separation and alienation; which in-turn leads to “a weakening” of us both as a species; as well as opening us up individually for attack; for vulnerabilities to suggestion and to temptation! But man is a slow learner; as well as his own worst enemy! ARE WE LEARNING YET?”

How do we really feel about ourselves 🤔 and others?????

FACEBOOK “If money is power; then why are so many of us so willing (so eager) to give it away (give?)*? Because certain people in our society understand this! Two ways we rise above one another : 1) Make ourselves more (increase our own lot); 2) Make you less (deplete yours)! IT’S A SCIENCE! MANY MEN SEE THEMSELVES AS SCIENTISTS (TRY TO PLAY SCIENTISTS)!” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

*If we could get something without giving our money away we would -trust me (the majority of this new, unthinking generation** [who ironically enough 🤔 -are also HIGHLY UNTRUSTING])! Man tries it all the time in varying ways and degrees! Either for free or as close to it as possible! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

**I said it some 25 years ago “if we don’t start protecting our children; they’re gonna start protecting themselves -and we’re not gonna like the result!”

Everything has a beginning! So where for example did the women’s movement 1st begin [France]? Where for example did the hippie and rebellion movement of the sixties begin? Probably in the forties or fifties to be honest!

FACEBOOK “Do you understand what’s going on here? What the purpose of these writings is? It’s to turn man back around; to get him back on the right track; to help him recognize the fallacy behind his own reasoning; and satan’s deceit! There is no such thing as getting something for less [or nothing] -without being penalized! Initially everything was handed unto man. After man chose satan [over GOD], the laws changed! Everything now has a precise cost, cause-and-effect! That is if you do it according to how GOD’S laws currently work! If you try to “fool around with that”; you ultimately end up paying more; getting less; or both!”

Power begets power! I suspect Facebook was initially designed to be a good and benign idea. Whenever GOD plants an idea in the mind of a man -it’s always for a good purpose. But man as he so often does -has to start tinkering with things!

FACEBOOK “Why do certain things bother me -and not you? Why do you have certain flaws that I don’t -and vice versa? Two points here: Why can’t we all have no flaws; since our fellow man -seems to be able to do without ours; It seems to me that man has more of a need to have certain flaws rather than be relegated to it “without say so”. I mean honestly; explain to me how one man can do without a certain flaw and another man cannot? Apparently it’s not a requirement or a need right? Then it must be a choice! And a bonus: it seems to me man has to have some flaws [vices] to keep from going crazy; winding up “mental” as a result of being continually subject to “this (rather brutal) reality we call “life””! I think it’s a fair argument -that is… 🤔 when one chooses to live live apart from GOD; apart from HIS LAWS!” 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Some people will actually put up an argument -even though they’re wrong! So it only stands to reason… and I know this for a fact through observing certain individuals, including myself -some people will not bother to put up an argument even though what they are being accused of is wrong! Some people will not put up a fight even though they know they are right! My cousin used to say “right makes might”! “White is might; but Brown takes the Crown!”

It’s not that some people are necessarily weak; it’s just that they’re more sensitive! It’s not that some people are necessarily strong; it’s just that they’re more insensitive!

Do you know the right amount of exercise for you to stay exactly where you’re at?

Sometimes giving more while receiving less in return…. If we are patient in any given endeavor…. We actually end up receiving more in the form of something else! Something of even greater value and an even greater measure! That I think is one of the basic tenements of Christian philosophy!

Man’s thoughts stem primarily from 2 sources -GOD and satan! Any thoughts or comments?

Oftentimes, people will not do the right thing unless they’re forced to do it. That’s why we have so many laws because we have a society that lacks the highest moral fiber! In fact, you could argue that the lower the moral fiber, the higher the number of laws we require in our country! An inversely proportional or correlatively proportional relationship! I think the argument could be made for either signed Maggie!

Strength versus insensitivity! Jesus was sensitive but also strong! Many of us lack that strength so we default to insensitivity! Weakness versus sensitivity! Many of us are not weak but sensitive!

How many circumstances or situations in life are you bigger than? How many circumstances or situations in life are you smaller than? Man is either a victim of this dwelling place or he is the ruler of it! Most of us are a mixture! Uh -that would include me in the latter -most grouping! 😉

You know what the difference is largely between a man who is a slave to his environment” and a man who is the master of it -fear, or lack thereof! I think there’s another word or an additional word -but I suppose that will suffice for now! Confidence? Strength? Ability? Experience?

GOD will make it up to us. One thing HE doesn’t want is for us to feel unloved -or to be unloved!

When someone is doing their part in our circle, and another person is not… it’s unfair to ask the person that’s already doing their part to do more! To do more in order to compensate us!

You will often hear the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” But you never hear, “why don’t bad things happen to bad people?”

How broad is your emotional and spiritual foundation? Just big enough for your own selfish plans and schemes? Did it ever occur to you to broaden it enough to include life and GOD’S plan of growth for you?

Much of my attitude throughout life has been characterized like this -I went through h*** in my childhood so why should I have to put up with the same things in adulthood that other people have to put up with who had a wonderful childhood? Why can’t it equal out? Or is it equaling out? I don’t know what people’s lives are like that have great lives growing up as children. 🤷‍♂️

If we fail to see the things GOD is doing for us in the face of life’s struggles, then we’re likely to run around with an attitude of feeling cheated. Because life MINUS GOD… feels extremely unfair! Whether it is or not [whether we deserve what we get; whether there’s a precise balance at work between… “Karma” as they say?]… is up for debate 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ But if we refuse to acknowledge GOD’S existence altogether… Or fail to recognize the balance between the harshness of life and HIS love for us in the form of… In the form of various…

We may not be able to do anything about the people in the world who don’t love us, but with regards to GOD AND HIS INFINITE, ALWAYS PRESENT LOVE -LUCKILY WE DON’T HAVE TO!!!!!!

Not all people we encounter who display fear, or judgementalness [the things that are often “the root of undesirable” attitudes and behaviors] are bad people!

Too many people in this country think money is the solution to all their problems! All those people hoping to win the lottery…. many of which want the much needed power (money brings) given to them! Rather than, the greatest power of all we must work to reconnect with [not work for because GOD readily avails this to us along with all our needs -because HE is a good GOD] -power our self-will has, in many cases, cuts us off from!

Sometimes 🤔 through the power of choice, or will, we have to broaden our foundation [in the moment]; to accommodate things in life -often unexpected! Or perhaps it is best to work on simply having THE BROADEST POSSIBLE FOUNDATION -FROM THIS DAY FORTH! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Would you rather receive from your family for helping them -OR FROM GOD?

If you were closed to certain people at a certain point in life, don’t expect them to automatically [readily] “be open to you” simply because you are now open. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

People who have hurt their partner, or anyone for that matter, often [by default, or to defend their ego] believe it is enough to simply cease their [repeated?] behavior(s) of the past [sweep the past under the rug]. I have even had people who have hurt me tell me “just let it go, it’s in the past” with having never having made reparations or restitution of any kind. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

When we are concerned about what other people are doing, we take away from our own focus and energy to do everything in our own power to contribute to that relationship! Just keep pouring it on on your end! Don’t worry about the rest!

You get what you fight for -sometimes! How come the blacks are moving ahead -but not the Latinos or the Orientals? What do we have to be proud of in this country? If you think about it, why the America didn’t give blacks anything, they had to fight for everything! What do we have to be proud of in this country? If you think about it, white- America didn’t give blacks anything, they had to fight for everything!

On migrants complaining about Mexicans coming over the border.Saw this in a movie baby. MEXICAN SAYS TO IRISHMAN “And what, your parents were Native American laughing my a** off?

How come you can’t taste anything when it’s too hot or too cold?

I had an Uncle that used to call me how come because I was always asking “how come”.

Should have seen it coming years ago-tickets for playoff games in sports going through the roof!

People don’t give much thought to aging when they’re young -even though they should! I mean their particular lifestyle that could affect their aging adversely.

It’s not that God can’t whip up a million dollars for you. Even God likes a challenge! It’s trying to get the stingiest of stingy to pride from theioffenders in doing some charitable act for another human being and edifying their soul and glorifying GOD HIMSELF!

Alot of relationships come down to how far you can go!

Not sure about this one? Nothing wrong with braggin’ -as long as you’re braggin’ on GOD!

I’m looking for exceptional [in myself]; In perhaps the 2nd hardest area humanity can face -human relationships! Unfortunately for me [for my family who needs me*], it appears I’m quite typical. Perhaps not even that! Michael Jordan once alluded to the philosophy that success comes through continual failure! I’m wondering though -how much complaining he did through the process LMAO

*My uncle made a comment one day “Sissy is the only one who has never asked us for anything”. I sensed in that comment something of a disappointment with the rest of us. Is perhaps even an annoyance in some cases. I didn’t think much beyond that. But in my own annoyance, the thought that comes to mind is this “Yeah, but how many times have she been down here to take you to the doctor?” I guess we all have our own [funny] ideas about what’s important! What defines character. With my Uncle, and I’ll throw in my aunt as well… clearly it’s not asking anything of them -or as little as possible [helping them, which they expect us to -is secondary]. Is it self-serving disguised as [what they deem meritorious] merit! What is really at the heart of that comment? Do they admire their daughter because she is self-sufficient. Or are they simply relieved that at least one of their kids -isn’t bothering them, burdening them? Not burdening someone is one thing! Helping to relieve their burden is something entirely different! One has accomplished the former; while another has accomplished the latter!

Should we give our partners everything they want? Should we give the people around us everything they want? Ideally, that’s what many people want (more-and-more these days; throughout history; throughout humanity and not just in these United States primarily?]! As I commented to Dale 3 years ago, “America is not a country in whom “character-building” is the top priority! HE JUST QUIPPED[?] AND SORTA CHUCKLED!

As you get older, you the child should be taking your parents out to dinner -and asking them what they need.

To some people a relationship is about you taking care of your business; and the people around you taking care of theirs. I was raised by my grandmother that the heart of a relationship is -what people do for one another!

The United States went from being the number one example of what a country should and could be -to what????

Having discussed this at length with my girlfriend… We had come to the conclusion that well it is important to look out for ourselves and protect ourselves from the world… We don’t want to venture into the “look out for number one” mentality either!

Some of the stuff people are coming up with and making millions off of is utterly ridiculous! A blade scraper for a blender? That doesn’t even look half as efficient as a plain old “spatula” for 1.99.

Learn to be efficient. Don’t erase all the letters on a misspelled word just the ones that you’re not going to use.

Some people feel they do enough for their partner and their partner has no right to ask for anything more. Some people are always willing to grow -and expand the horizons of their relationship and their own character! To listen to the more reasonable wants and needs of their own partner!

We don’t need new ideas -we need better one’s!

Having trouble “SUFFERING IN SILENCE” -well do the best you can; GOD always appreciates a sincere effort!

How we respond to life -IS EVERYTHING! How we respond in life -IS EVERYTHING!

Just as GOD mercifully provides shock to animals being devoured… HE MERCIFULLY provides me with a veneer of forgetfulness with regard to the pain that exists among many of these awarenesses!

On burdening others in our relationships. Some burdens bring us closer together and some burdens bring separation. But there’s an added dimension in all this – Some burdens which bring separation -should in fact bring us closer together [conversely…]. 😏🤔🤷‍♂️ But that’s humanity for you!

Never stop growing -and you will be the greatest beneficiary of all!

There is no higher return on your investment than in spiritual matters!

Some people may not think a smile or a glimmer of… some people may not think a smile on a face or a glimmer of hope on a tarnished spirit is much of a return for the things they have done, for the time they have taken with another human being… but it means everything to them probably -and to GOD as well! THE FORGOTTEN ONE’S? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Man might have to [re]think more about the things he chooses to invest in! The things he seeks the returns on; as well as thereturns themselves he seeks! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

“Well at least I’m seeing progress -for the longest time it didn’t feel like it; or look like it!”

If you look at many of these writings they will not make sense because the microphone didn’t do its job! Which is precisely what satan wants! I’m terrible at proof reading and re reading and editing so there you have an!

If you can help it calm or don’t do anything in somebody’s car like trying to tell them how to keep the temperature or adjust the seat when you know somebody else sits in it. Try to remain as small as possible in as many situations as possible!

I think a lot of us are confused? LoL

I was told by my cousin many years ago that a lot of people think the lower you set the AC in your car the less gas it uses-falls !

We all have a limit! Pushing beyond it takes time, effort, patience with ourselves! 🤔 and KNOW-HOW?

The more we resist or postpone] “those two vital components required to pull us “back from the brink” [an indication of just how “disdainful” these things concepts are to we human-beings], the more we will be required of us as we as a species continues to plummet downward!

Some things should not be “about the money” -like medicine!! ke medicine! But man, recognizing the urgency of this field [along with the field of law (these are vasic needs, not luxuries)] -has decided to exploit that urgency! Along with others they have convinced [certain] people to add to “that list” which really are of no urgency whatsoever when you really think about it! 🤔

Gloves-another barrier [we see this in medicine -no more HUMAN-TOUCH??] Rubbers -another barrier? I had enough emotional one’s; I wasn’t about to voluntarily add anymore! The most capable of the human abilities is generally physical! Most people are capable [culpable] of engaging jn a physical relationship [sexual] but as you climb the ladder [the numbers begin to drop-off*].

*The higher we humans seek to climb; the more the numbers begin to dwindle -why? Olympic level performance for example!

Imagine an Olympic athlete on 4 hours of sleep; or eating donuts and coffee; or training an hour a day?

Even GOD wants somethiing!

Stay focused on “the mission”.

If you could only join “the things” going on at opposite ends of “the spectrum” that have as a common denominator ‘X’ you would be sooooo angry! Angry at what people are trying to get away with or to get around GOD’S sense of justice, what’s best for ourselves, what’s best for each other if only we would be willing to concur [for the benefit of our kind as a whole]. This oweson gets this much for only doing this much… this person gets away with “y” over here, while this person doesn’t get away with “Y”. Or, and I really love this, sometimes people don’t get away with “x” over here, but other people get away with “Y” over there [unbeknownst -in another city or country]! Something far less people are held accountable for while something far worse others are not! Humanity is all over the place with regards to consistency, and fairness versus preferential treatment versus awareness versus common-sense versus scruples! Bottom line, we don’t know what we’re doing; and even when we do, we often prefer to do it our way -rather than the right way!

Man wants to leave His mark; in order to do yhis; he must change something; bring his own idea[s] to the fore. Sometimes he steals ideas from others [and applies them where they are unknown to others elsewhere]. Sometimes, if he is in a position [of power to do so], he makes changes his predecesors put in place -Even though those changes are to be proven detrimental! Even though those changes are clearly inferior!

Sanity is everything -what is a person God if they don’t have their sanity?

I think a lot of poor, uneducated people are scared! I also think a lot of rich, educated people are as well!

JESUS wouldn’t have said anything! How many times have I’ve done things that Jesus would have never done? How many hundreds or thousands of times? Think about that!

I should use myself more as the example rather than coming across as looking down on humanity! GOD knows I am a very good representative of humanity’s weaknesses and issues!

When somebody offers from a selection, never take the best for yourself! Besides, they may be thinking…

Man has nothing else better to do: Eventually somebody will design something TO COUNT BAGS AT THE GRICERY STORE TO MAKE SURE CONSUMERS DONT TAKE MORE THAN ONE @ A DIME A PIECE. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE UNCHECKED! WHAT THAT COSTS MONEY IN THIS SOCIETY EVER GKES UNCHECKED -TELL ME!!!!!

Now that “faking” has become so technologically feasible…-what can we believe?

Companies don’t pay for things, customers do!!!! Including screw-ups! Renting a lavish building…. lighting… Must be nice to have a business that the public is required to “bail-out” if something goes wrong. i.e. chickens, beef, banks…

People are adaptable, and sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes not!

There’s far too many things in the world that require our attention to be thinking, worrying so much about ourselves! 🤔

THE NEWS: We go from possible aliens in lake Huron and South Carolina being shot down, to the financial reports of the day lol We’ve been hearing these things for so long and not even news anymore!

Some people “offer” only “after they have recieved”!

Right and wrong aside come Russia can’t knock out a little country like the Ukraine? Makes you wonder? War means money… The longer it drags out the more money! Just like the NBA finals going 7 instead of 4!?

Don’t you just hate it when something somebody does works the s*** outta you and then somebody else comes along and says oh that’s not a big deal lol Does it make you feel small question make you feel like wanting to rise above it? Rise above the thing that wrote to I mean? Including the earthquake brought about by what the person commented on. LoL

Some people are meticulous about their own needs but oblivious about others! What I mean to say is their interest is cued completely one way!

That’s just what we need, muscles without working! Losing weight without working!

Limitations and Challenges/Limitations vs Challenges! It seems to me that life is always filled with having to give things up; make way for what other people want or need! But not everyone is interested in playing by those rules when it’s their turn to sacrifice! Just how small of a space in a room full of people or even one, are you willing or able to occupy based upon reasonable or unreasonable circumstances? Well that’s a very good question! Sometimes you have 2 people in the room who need a lot of room. Sometimes you have 2 people in a room you don’t care about how much room the other person requires. Sometimes you have 2 people in the room who don’t need a lot of room. Sometimes you have 2 people who care very much how much room the other person requires. Sometimes it’s 1 person 1 way and another person the other way -usually! Relationships don’t last when they involve 2 people unwilling to budge! Usually there’s at least one person who is willing to budge! I guess the only time I get to think entirely of myself is when I’m with myself!*

*What percentage of people, what percent of the time do you suppose are trying to get around other people and what they want so they can get what they want? Everybody in this country is being raised to get; 🤔 because America has become “the gettin’ place”! 🔐 and 🔑! A nation filled with things to get; only works with a nation filled with people bred to get! Only stands to reason you need a nation full of people “materialistic enough” to buy it all!

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough!

We all have to make a choice; and in doing so choose aside!

Man has issues with delayed consequences and takes issue with delayed gratification.

In order for something like this to work they have to… A company comes in on a major buying and selling website and offers one year insurance for 44.99. Of course the only way this works is if the main website company doesn’t offer to begin with which some might argue they should. They delete something so that somebody can come in and exploit it. Possibly intentionally?

Company’s sure seized the opportunity during covid to negate a long standing…. For consumers. Bedding companies, underwear and so forth; no one wants to take returns. That is a huge advantage for the companies; and a huge disadvantage for consumers. And this argument about people not wanting to buy beds that someone with covered men have slept in his b*******. I’ll buy one. You just spray it down with disinfectant. I mean how many people are sleeping directly on a mattress come on? As far as the hygiene goes, it’s no different than it’s been throughout the history of business! Nonsense! “Man “the exploiter”!

“Harmful” is ‘the word’ you want to avoid in your relationships!

Take a year, atleast 6 months off from your relationships, and see if you still feel “the same” or “stronger” -the results my surprise you!

“Do your best; and see where it goes!” 🤷‍♀️❤🤷‍♂️

One of the earliest writings that came to me was that any relationship can only go as long as it has acceptance as its foundation. I’m changing the wording a little here. Let me try it in the original form: A relationship when acceptance ends… Nope, not it either. Two people set out on a road together; but once they reach a fork in that road that cannot be overcome… They can even travel two roads, as long as they do not venture too far from each other. Some relationships however, 🤔 seem to be able to survive just about anything. But anyways; Relationships tend to end when one or both people encounter something along the way that can no longer be tolerated or accepted. It seems to me that the odds are against long term relationships because as time goes on, as a relationship evolves; and encounters new and different territory… it only stands to reason that sooner or later you’re going to run into something that is unacceptable to you, or the other person. When this happens, at the relationship more-often-than-not ends! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Sometimes naming something diminishes its meaning. Diminishes our understanding of it. Giving ourselves a name for what we are for example!

Life often seems just a little bit ahead of us! A little more than we are willing or able to bare. A little more than we are able to deal with based upon where we are @@ that given moment in our lives!

Think of a sphere or the Solar System with the orbit of the planets around the sun.

●There are the things you started out knowing

● There are the things you didn’t know but eventually learned

Scratch that!

● There are the things we can do from the start -seemingly

● There are the things we cannot do, but eventually we learn to do them

● And then there are those things we want to do that will forever remain beyond our abilities!

● And finally, those things which will forever remain beyond our willingness

When your feelings about a relationship begin to change, is it because of you or is it because of them? I don’t think enough people know the difference. I don’t think enough people really give significant thought to this. I think most of the time we think it’s the other person. But it’s almost always about the way WE feel! We stop feeling a certain way for either reason and it’s time to move on.

FACEBOOK “Some people care: as long as it doesn’t cost them anything!”

You search long enough, you’ll find some truth’s!

Put together a company that competes with another bigger company, and they’ll buy you out for millions -and you retire. AMERICAN WAY BABY! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

A resentment is a conscious or subconscious attempt to continue to punish someone who is no longer guilty of an offense!

About half the people in this country running around p***** off – are ungrateful!

Many people wonder why God doesn’t let them win the lottery. The answer to that is that most of the people playing it don’t really need it. And the other part of that answer is that it would do more harm than good. But here’s a little known fact that many people refuse to recognize…. God will not Grant us something however much good it has with it-if it is going to do one single bit of harm however small!

Have you done anything wrong in your relationship? Then what are you afraid of?

I always ask myself have you heard anyone? Have you had any intentions to harm another human being whether you have actually done it or not -whether you were successful in acting out…‽ Then you have nothing to worry about or to feel ungrateful for!

There are different reasons for saying things about people that sound critical or judgmental. Not all of them are in fact based upon being critical or judgmental. Or perhaps it is safer to say that they are critical but not judgmental. Clint Walker in his Western movies was not a man to go around judging people but he could be critical of their behavior. What would a Western be without some critique of one’s fellow man lol

“Everything has to go thru so much process; takes forever to get anything done!” AUNT NIN

The Republicans and Democrats do nothing but tear each other down! Which wouldn’t be so bad if it was sincere, if not valid. But, you switch places, and their attitudes completely do “an about face”!

When GOD introduces a miracle man wants to tear it to shreds to determine some other reason!

90% is all one can expect from their partner!

Trying to get a female in to “THE PRESIDENCY” for what????? Tell me; for what????

When you feel jealous of others good-fortune, DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF -IT’S AN INDICATION YOU NEED THAT!

Think about all this power being used to generate money and what it could do to generate God’s principles and message!

With the advent of social media and global reporting, now maybe the people in this country can begin to recognize just how fortunate we really are!

Even if you accept a token of gratitude from others, God under certain circumstances will give you HIS blessing nonetheless!

We want guns out of the hands of [disturbed] people; 🤔 but what about the mental illness that’s left? That’s OK as long as they don’t have a gun!

So many different people creating so many different languages has to be a sign of God! It would take a genius to do something like that! A particular kind of genius. How could there be one in every country?

Alot of people get animals when they’re puppies -and forget about then when the grow up -AUNT NIN

There are all kinds of geniuses -but not necessarily viewed [or appreciated] equally by the public!0

Don’t just do the right thing; do the kind thing! 👍🏻

Maybe there’s nothing wrong, maybe you’re just getting out of your groove and your element into a new and exciting way of life and doing things! Sometimes when we do things in a new and better way, it can feel very uncomfortable-almost as if we’re doing something wrong!

You can use a compliment for example to build-up your ego or your esteem-worth.

Hyperactive body… it only stands to reason there’s such a thing as a hyperactive brain!

Every dynamic has 2 sides to it. For example, there are a lot of people with issues running around in our society today. A lot of people like that idea because for one thing it makes the medical community a lot of money. The other thing is that it weakens the society and makes it vulnerable. But the flip side of it is that a certain number of people are creating problems for society. In some cases they pick up a gun and do mass shootings among other things. But while certain people are benefiting from this, others are suffering! This begs the question, is a why these things are not changing?But the one side of the population is suffering as a result? Because another side, a more powerful side is Ben a fitting? We want to take the guns out of these sick people’s hands, but we don’t wanna make them better because a certain part of the population would then lose money! We simply have to put a stop to this insanity!

The way to cover all your bases and life is to be grateful for everything GOD gives you and grateful for everything GOD doesn’t give you! Why? BECAUSE HE KNOWS!!!

Can you look into the heart of another man? Can you see the future? GOD CAN!!! So why wouldn’t you rely on HIM! You rely on the camera at 2000′ of depth in the ocean!

Old news! I think this came to me 25 years ago along with about 75% of the current writings. There was such an influx early on. Between 90/91 [can’t seem to remember] -1999]. Realistically, they have been coming steadily for 32 years to date. And today is the day after Valentine’s Day 2023. My best guess is around August of 1991; but it could have been August 1990. So, 🤔 here we are once again. Nowadays, man seems more and more content in this country to get what he can out of his fellow human-being! Get what he can out of his fellow human being rather than create a bond of brotherhood between himself and those around him! You can’t have it both ways! This, I am very sure of -about 25 years ago what came to me was that if we do not take care of our children; they are going to start taking care of themselves -and the previous generation is not gonna like one bit what they are seeing, let alone getting for having let down your children; and your children’s children! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ You want to be a selfish generation, then suffer for it; you want to believe the lies the government and other authorities are telling you because it’s beneficial to them, and in some cases, convenient for you, then suffer for it; and watch your children (and their children) suffer as well! *When we act stingy with one another it creates an environment of fear and resentment. This atmosphere becomes rampant! Remember the movie it’s a wonderful life? Remember the 2 possible futures? The 2 possible futures based on a man’s decision to act one way or another?

People either want things, accept things, or reject things! There’s really nothing else! [Most] People are pretty set regarding this! People either accept things [either out of courtesy (but not interested at all), or didn’t think about it before)]; go after things they (think) they really want; or reject things. Man is notorious for getting confused between what he wants and what he needs. Man is notorious for getting confused about what he needs and what he thinks he needs! Man, not only manipulates others, he manipulates himself (and not necessarily in that order)! Looking at the world and history, man is clearly confused about what he wants, needs, and should reject! Mankind sort of lives between GOD’S perfect plan and satan’s… He doesn’t want perfection; but he doesn’t want to spend an eternity damned either!

If you want to know the future; look at the past! A wise man once told me -some 20 year ago?

You don’t have to have an expectation of something, GOD has endowed every man with the (inalienable) right to meet his own needs; or have his own needs met!

Just like some material things don’t fit and it’s no reflection on better or worse.. It’s the same thing with human relationships!

One major key to relationships is don’t plant a seed of resentment or hurt in them if you can possibly avoid your! Just one by itself could lead to a minor mood or retaliation issue-thus setting off a pattern or chain reaction between the 2 of you that builds!

All-too-often, it comes down to the way we feel not what is right!

Which is better? To be better than someone in the present? Better than someone in the future?

Is it better to make all your mistakes in the beginning of life when you have nothing to lose -rather than at the end of life when you accrue so much and stand to lose it?

It’s better to be a sinner in the beginning and a Saint in the end that way you can go to Heaven. Some people start out being saints and then in the being centers..

So if we cannot come to a resolution, then our only recourse, our only two options are violence or acceptance

Candy bar stolen escalation two philosophies 🤔 let it go; the other, Accountability at all costs!

Practice letting things go!

Unless it’s a threat to society we have to pay for our own Justice! Is that right the legal system does not pay for individual. Even though all of our taxes pay for all avenues were areas of the legal system.

You have to remember that the cop or the judge don’t know who’s lying and who’s telling the truth even though you do. And the people who don’t know what happened are the ones with the power instead of you who do know what happens.

I have a lot to learn! Scratch that-I have a lot to apply!

The human approach versus the spiritual approach:

Calm down or I understand how you’re feeling

Listening and saying nothing and letting them bent. Saying I can’t even begin to understand how you are feeling. Or, I don’t blame you for being upset I would feel exactly the same way! See the difference between a human approach and a spiritual principled approach? Human principles based on fear and the need to control versus spiritual principles of acceptance end of empathy and comforting. Comforting versus appeasing. Allowing a person freedom versus manipulating them. Human beings love their individuality. Now tell me something, is that why there is such a wide or broad spectrum of knowledge in the professional field in dealing with various situations instead of a set standard? I understand that there are standards in many professional settings but why is it that so many human beings view from that standard and basically have their own individual approach ? Why is it with regard to the above situation when someone is angry that we have so many so called professionals with so many different approaches other than the one that is the standard in that organization! And the answer to that is that human beings love their individuality! Their freedom to express and act individually! There’s at least a basic standard on child rearing at this point in history I believe And how close are we as individual parents in this country to following that standard than we were a 1000 years ago? When there wasn’t even a standard! Again, people love their individuality! Even if it’s wrong or damaging to the most sacred thing we hold dear-our children and our future! People spend thousands of dollars on an education but how much do we spend on being educated on how to raise our children properly?

More and more nowadays people are out for all they can get from their fellow human being; Rather than show an interest in the brotherhood of their fellow human being. You can’t have a both ways! When we are stingy and greedy we bring fear and resentment and separation between one another. Whereas when we are giving and compassionate, we bring a sense of relief, trust, and wanting to draw closer to one another! R&M 👫👫

Remember I was telling you about the ways in which state and tries to dupe mankind? And how ignorant and skewed our thinking is? OK – Man has been asking the question for centuries as to whether or not there is an intelligence in the universe, and intelligence behind it all! t’s the stupidest question one could ever ask if you think about it. What is the universe if not intelligence? The smartest people throughout history are just scratching the surface running their brains at maximum RPM just to try and figure out the simplest of things in our universe! Anyone care to rethink that question!

IT’S GOOD to remain on your toes, maintain “that slight nervousness” about you with regard to your relationship throughout the entirety of IT’S existence!

Most people cannot compart mentalize their feelings. Most people’s hearts do not work that way. The solution of life tends to form their emotional self which they in turn bring with them in their approach to life more or less. I mean there’s some of that but for the most part people are emotionally sloppy I guess.

What if we choose not to react to not being spitually sound? Is that even possible?

People who are struggling in life and not on medication must be even more vigilant about their spiritual upkeep.. I don’t do well with that.

Given what people are dealing with, given the structure of modern-day American society… More and more people feel the need to medicate! That should tell us something! But try telling that to the drug dealers and alcohol companies and prescription growth drug companies.. And everybody selling anything to anyone in need of some relief.

It’s a terrible thing to go through life not feeling good enough. But how many of us contribute to that individual’s feelings? As long as there are so called “cliques”, there will be people who feel “unwanted”. Where is the chasm between the norms of society and spiritual principles? If you dissect the norms of humanity, I think you will find them wanting and lacking! Grounded in ignorance and ofselfish motives! And they used to tell me in counseling that social norms…! I was told in counseling, I must try and aspire to reach that level? Not a very lofty goal in my estimation -but a start.

When you have a society that basically gives in to man’s unbridled cell… But we are saying now we’re continually new things need to be furnished in order to continue to get money from the masses… It’s a never ending cycle! Any one want to challenge that! Man is also fast running away from himself and looking to discover what’s out there in the universe! You can only go in 2 directions: Inward and outward! The key to life is to go inward 1st. I cannot even believe with my own 2 eyes when I am seeing! When you are able to sit back and see society and all its sickness… you have not only a rarerror insight but also a powerful one! So many people in this country living for the next something-but not from GOD, but from man! IT’S A SICKNESS!

How many negative encounters in society with human beings does the typical person have to have before they begin to see humanity as a whole as a threat? Remember what I said earlier about human beings lacking the ability to comport mentalize. How many times does a woman have to be hurt by one man or how many men does a woman have to be hurt by before she begins to see all men as a threat? Interesting question Don’t you think? Don’t you think?

Is there anything wrong with doing things for people -and only wanting love and return?

My family works like this don’t ask us for anything we don’t ask you for anything. But now that my aunt and Uncle are elderly and needs something guess what -I’m doing something for them but they have the same attitude as before.I think my aunt and Uncle also have years of penta presentment Towards me, towards my part of the family, towards humanity and general!

☆☆☆☆☆I have 2 things going against me: both parents who were attics and alcoholics and died in their disease; And I’m not on any medication; Only spiritual medication should I choose to partake of it!

If you have to vent to your partner sometimes it’s best to keep these people you’re talking about anonymous so that if by chance they meet there’s no hard feelings. No pre judgment. No judgment at all actually. I made this mistake month my former girlfriend. About my family no less perit’s not a good thing when your girlfriend meets her family and she’s already resentful of them.

If people spend thousands of dollars on these hyperbolic chambers and underwater think tanks and stimulus deprivation rooms… and they do in fact work! Then what is always ever increasing bombardment doing to us and our mental and emotional and spiritual state? How is it affecting our ability to make sound judgments and decisions? It seems to me that it’s pretty evident That it’s affecting these things pretty badly! Think about how much time and energy and money we spend throwing back into the system. Is the system serving us or are we serving it? This on going rat race of going to work and then giving the money back the money back… living paycheck to paycheck while certain people get rich off of this cycle; off of us! The very people many of us loathe, we are supporting!

People’s expectations of their relationships quite often change.. And if you don’t change along with them -you are probably out! We see this quite often with people as they go from being immature in their relationship to maturing more and more. But who’s right or wrong in all of this? Surely all these relationships that are failing in our society cannot be a good thing. So where’s the issue? They tell me expectations of others is not a good thing. But constant growth personally and in your relationship is!

Dishonesty is a lack of faith in GOD!

We have to keep the sweet on our relationship clean at all times! THATS 1/2 THE KEY!!!!

What was America like when people were more united in this country? Well for one thing small government. People were more trusting. More willing to help one another. More fulfilled; less needy; less materialistic; fewer mental-healtg issues.

The greatest fear of those in power is the uniting of those they rule over! But we see in this country is a breaking down of unity among those being ruled! You want to know the future-look at the past!

Phones ate a distraction -or didn’t you know that? People have been heading more and more in the direction of “running away from life, from life’s problems” for quite some time now! There’s money 💰 to be made in that; as well as a decided advantage!

Tell me some people don’t really think this way ź The more drug addicted, alcoholic, mentally ill people there are out there, the less competition for their own spawn!

Once you know the laws of physics for example, any law for that matter 🤔 YOU CAN DO THINGS ON THIS PLANE [AND OTHERS] YOU COULDN’T PREVIOUSLY! “DOING” IS KEY? “BEING ABLE, BEING CAPABLE OF DOING” IS[N’T] THAT WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT?

If we couldn’t cut it in the garden of Eden and how the h*** are we gonna do out here? If we couldn’t keep from taking the 1st drink how are we gonna keep from taking the 2nd drink after we’ve had the 1st one?

The more we expose ourselves to “TRUTH” the more of GOD’S GRACE we will need as well!

WE L@@K out of curiosity and vulnerability! No curiosity, no feeling of vulnerability, NO [NEED TO] L@@K! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Take away the phones and people will start talking to each other again! Keep them in place and everything will remain as it is! Until, the next level anyways! The next wave!

HONEY with MINT!!!

You could have one weakness in your character; but a strength to counter it. Low self esteem that would normally lead to anxiety, and feelings of depression, worry about what others think of you… butt ☝ you also happen to have so.ething in your make up to neutralize theze effects of thatow self esteem!

Youre wearing down your batteries!

If ignorance is bliss; then what is “hyper-awareness’?

TEFLON-back versus spiny-back reversed! Alcoholics?

What’s the difference between a normal person who gets ignored and someone with “a-god-complex”?

The higher the stakes, the fewer people who can stand “the pressure”!

A sick mind cannot fix a sick mind; and a mind filled with “the world” cannot adequately contend with it!

So, if people who lived in poverty in childhood tend to go through life worrying about their finances even after being successful; how does growing up with many extras in life affect the person’s attitude towards finances and other things throughout the remainder of their life?

That’s the thing about having a free-floating-personality! No consistency! No stability!

If the problem is small -dont make it bigger! If the problem is BIG -address it as quickly as possible!

That’s the problem with having a job as a writer focusing on the world’s problems…

Better get used to it -doing things with lil or nothing in return from people, little or no gratitude, next to giving one’s life for another, is perhaps the highest honor… way of honoring GOD’S WILL!

Determining early on whether life is favorable to you or not and doing so accurately is a very important thing! A lot of people have it better than they might realize and they think life sucks! Life has it out for them!

Second week in a row -my days are off; VERY TELLING? BUT ABOUT WHAT?

2)Are trying to protect themselves, or;

3)Both!”

●But where are GOD’S-PRINCIPLES IN ALL THIS?

I think my personality is controlled by my mind. If you can believe that. Kind of seems to be one of the more effective selections. Thoughtfulness. Politeness. Not from instinct. Not even from a naturally ingrained developmental standpoint early on.

WHICH IS THE GREATEAST ASSURANCE OF ALL!!!!

TRUE-POWER! NOT HAVING TO…🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Two very telling keys to love calling GOD loves us because of who he is and because of what we are -not because of who we are!

Some people are unhappy either way!

Between the way people are and my high intellect, I can’t seem to find peace!

“Don’t worry about a thing, you’re doing great; It’s the rest of the world that’s f***** up -well that’s what keeps worrying me! 😆

🤔 I think I just figured out something, I was somewhat spoiled as a child so I think I myself am pretty liberal with my own money when it comes to spending it on myself and helping others. Remember the point above about how people who tend to grow up in poverty spend the remainder of their lives being extremely cruel and even stingy? Will there you have at exclamation poiat least that’s one example.

When it appears that people are on the verge of letting us down, it’s an opportunity for us to think of them in that situation in the best possible light -not the worst one.

GOD says the worst thing you can do to a human being is be kind to them in every way -even though they don’t treat you that kind. And when they lose you, it’s the worst feeling in the world for all but the most hardened and emotionless people!

THE WALL!!!!

There are 2 kinds of faith in human relationships: Faith in others and their abilities; Faith in you and your abilities. Both tend to… but not equally, generally speaking.

If ignorance is bliss; then what is hyper-awareness? If people have been seeking solitude to get centered, and to clear their minds; then what is the state or condition of the average American constantly being bombarded?

Think highly of others; not poorly!

Life’s hard enough without us making it harder for our selves!

How to be prepared for everything!

GOD wants to encourage our faith not discouraged! And in as many cases as possible call when we show faith in GOD… GOD is very pleased and wants to both encourage, and reward!

TRUST should surpass feelings in any relations. And at any given point throughout the relationship.

FACEBOOK “An epidemic of “MISTRUST”! HOW IS IT WE LET THINGS GET TO THIS POINT? WE MOVE SO MANY THINGS TO OUR OWN ADVANTAGE AS IF WE WERE “MASTERS OF THE WORLD”, “MASTERS OF OUR OWN DESTINY’S IN FACT!” SO HOW IS IT WE HAVE COME TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY PLAGUED BY “MISTRUST” -ALLOWED TO GO UNCHECKED?” Unfortunately, in GOD’S UNIVERSE. FOR EVERY SCENARIO, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD [EXPLOITS -ACHIEVEMENTS, ADVENTURES] AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO BAD [EXPLOIT -MAKE FULL USE OF AND DERIVE BENEFIT FROM]!*

*Man historically, has learned how to exploit certain situations [not all of them yet]; but why stop there? As man grows [as he was created to do?], and begins to gain in confidence, and in this case “lose-ground morally”; How shall I put this, 🤔 he begins to ask himself such questions as “why should I wait around to exploit certain situations that come around “only so often”?” Why not “create these situations” [or scenarios @ will] and thus “exploit them @ will”?**

**An atmosphere of fear is always presented with an opportunity to exploit the individual or the masses! This is in fact quite an ancient and well-understood fact throughout history – Scattering a herd of animals; Introducing fear and discombobulation… It’s a very basic but effective example of exploiting an opportunity created by the predator itself!

Man doesn’t tend to be a giver under the “Capatalist-sun”! Not our best system to operate under in terms of “the propagation of charity and brotherly-love”!

Wherever possible, a man certainly wants to avoid issue or resentment over a given outcome or situation. At said, he most certainly does not want to develop an issue or a resemblance over something that has not in fact happened -except in his mind!

So, when we find ourselves amidst an individual or group of individuals who are not necessarily trying to do good -along with the added fact that human beings are basically flawed-creatures… [it creates a “double-flaw” of sorts]?” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK “Wherever man happens to be in his evolution, without a “positive-effort” instilled in him [his spawn as well], wherever he is at; ensuing generations will continue to take up where he left off, this spiraling downwards (of course not everyone is spiraling downwards -in their own estimation as long as they continue to remain above their fellows -“SICK”) [two ways of gaining advantage over your fellows: rising above them; causing them to spiraling downwards; or preferably both]!”

FACEBOOK “Why are we not progressing in certain areas? As if in fact, we are regressing? Well, man has problems in certain areas he refuses to overcome. Additionally, knowledge is power, man often likes to interfere with the “natural evolution of his fellows” in an attempt to gain ‘an advantage’. And finally, man loves to interfere with evolution in order to “make a name for himself”, or to “suit his own fancy”. This I would term “Man, the selfish creature” or “Man, the twisted creature”.”

FACEBOOK “We humans are not perfect. When… Well I suppose it depends on what we’re looking for. This is a bit cumbersome but I’ll try to relay it just the same. When embarking upon a relationship with another human being who is as stated above -flawed as we all are. It’s important that that individual have at their basic core -a goodness to them. Or ar the very least “the desire to be good”. Or at the very least “the potential “desire to be good””. Now then, how shall I put this; GOD doesn’t require us to be good; Otherwise all bets would be off with 90% of the population. But I think at the very least -HE is looking for either “the desire to be good” or “the potential desire to be good” innate in most individuals!”

“Passive-aggressive” what an unsophisticated approach! The ability or even the willingness to communicate in a diplomatic fashion under the most taxing of circumstances… When we have resentment towards people it is so difficult to be diplomatic. To show panache.

Another thing in reverse-betting is that you don’t risk the lower tier only to have y, our team end up losing in the final tier! Because then you end up losing money and you endip without the final objective intact! If you bet against your team and they win and you lose money… That’s great! But if you lose money and they fail to make it to the ultimate goal then you’ve garnered a loss-loss scenario. It’s best to bet on the final-game-only… So that when you bet against your team, if they win you win, if they lose you win, and that’s the end of it!

FACEBOOK “I, like most human beings, have a vested in entertaining a particular discussion or addressing a particular issue. When this vested interest is removed however, the possibilities are endless -become infinite rather than finite!”

FACEBOOK “I, like most people need help seeing the forest from the trees; as well as the trees from the forest! Man cannot reach his full potential individually -Nor can he come up with solutions to all his problems without a collective effort –And the same holds true for “The actual implementation of these solutions” which eventually lead to “a resolution”! Therefore, why so often does man insist on “taking-on-life” HALF-COCKED so-to-speak? 🤔 Well, among other things, competition rather than cooperation! Competition can be a very good thing! Unfortunately, man often lacks the insight regarding when to compete and when to cooperate [or simply refuses -as is so often the case (it’s his continual shortcoming]!”

FACEBOOK “Oftentimes, man’s interest, or primary goal: is not harmony, or even success; but destruction [failure through destruction -success through failure -WOW]!”

FACEBOOK “We want to avoid the definition [or the materialization “of the definition”] of the term “harmful” in our relationships!” But not at “any and all costs”! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Consumption of alcohol, the pursuit of its effects, comes at a price -self-induced “poisoning”. Poisoning in “small doses”!

FACEBOOK “Success strictly for the pursuit of success itself -is no sucess all! I think about couples and alcoholics anonwho seemingly have healthy relationships. I want to be one of those people. I want to be able to say say I also have a healthy relationship. But it can’t be in and of itself success. There has to be substance behind it! Love!”

FACEBOOK “Think about what the world is like without love [the areas that lack it significantly -go on, you can do it]! And then ask yourself “Why would you or anybody else -ever want to bring less of it; rather than more of it into the world?” 🤔 Is it because we’re not thinking straight? Rather, is it because man in his narrow and selfish thinking; is only interested in creating love in his own personal [hand-picked] little worlds -here and there!”

FACEBOOK “Exaggerating something or seeing it in its extreme form is often necessary for we human-beings to grasp it more fully!”

If light is a particle -then where does it go when the room turns dark after the light is turned off?

FACEBOOK “First they make these spy phones so you can take the battery out and they can’t spy lol [dumb]. Then the following year or two later, they make them so that the battery can’t be taken out. It doesn’t make any sense to the consumer. Unless you’re trying to spy on them! I remember Ana seeing a commercial with a woman vacuuming and her new TV had a camera and she could see herself on that tv. But they pulled that commercial rather quickly and you never saw it again.”*

*Remember the man who said “give me liberty or give me death?” Modern day Americans seem to be more content with “go ahead and take away some of my freedoms -that I may be a bit more safe!” #1 The right to privacy #2 A government accountable to “the people!” #3 Once you set up a system that makes the masses vulnerable… All that needs to happen is to have the wrong person slip in and take charge of that mechanism or machine that has been put in place! All that needs to happen is to have the wrong person slip in and take charge of that mechanism or machine [or philosophy] that has been put into place! “AND DON’T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT SHIT ABOUT “YOUR CHILDREN”; I’m quite certain that the men who stood by this philosophy had children as well! In fact, a big part of the reason for this philosophy was to protect their children from the very thing we believe we’re being protected by today [Haven’t you heard the saying, man is both corruptible and changeable at the same time? You don’t sell your soul to satan in order to protect yourself from a man]. Jesus Christ, what is it gonna take for man to stay on track generation after generation after generation! We forget about the lessons from the past and we repeat the same mistakes over and over! I’m sure there’s a philosophy in there somewhere -I’ve heard of before LMAO Human beings need constant reminding about the lessons of the past! Some human-beings, and with great zeal I might add 🤔 -are hoping, or helping us to forget those lessons; so that they can exploit us!

Wishing anything less than absolute success: the absolute best for those around you; those you are closest to and love -is no good!

If we don’t want people robbing from each other then don’t make material things the most important thing among that society. And don’t make a shift where there is a gap creating two very lopsided sectors of that society! Once again, we create our own problems. And the rich and powerful were probably as much or more to blame have a greater ability to protect themselves from the problem then do the weak and poor. So they’re attitude as indifferent because they think they can have the best of both worlds.

FACEBOOK “Didn’t the people who wrote the Constitution [CERTAINLY THEIR CHILDREN & THEIR GRANDCHILDREN] -What? 🤔 We think we know more about the mindset of the these people from glancing, from glossing over [in some cases] a piece of paper -the mere foundation of perhaps the greatest society in man’s history, to date- by a few twisted people who themselves happen to come along a couple hundred years later with their own twisted agendas?… Weren’t they [our Founding-Fathers] around when the Lord’s prayer; and the Ten-Commandments; and statues of various religious figures were placed in places of government? Considered protectors of these institutions! Both they and these representations of The Christian-Faith -considered protectors of these institutions?” 🤔🤔🤔 JESUS CHRIST!!!!! THINK! THINK! THINK!

FACEBOOK “Can anybody see a correlation between the direction we’re heading in [in this country] -and the demise [sudden and rapid decline] our world is experiencing??? “KNOW GOD -KNOW PEACE! NO GOD -NO PEACE!””

Alcoholics, and some men; 🤔 are notorious for taking a magnifying glass and using either side to suit them!

There are plenty of people out there that we think would be good for us as partners. But GOD knows who would be the very best! Man could have the best possible partner that GOD led them to -and yet in his own mind, looking into another pasteur, say to himself “that would be better!” GOD’S ways are not our ways!

FACEBOOK “If you approach people with your own welfare and your own interest in mind -you are liable to receive a somewhat unwelcome response at the very least! But if you approach people with their own welfare in mind [dual-interest] -even with your own interest in tact -you are liable to receive a luke-warm, if not semi-appreciative response at the very least! Anger de-escalation! When people in the store for example or over the phone with customer service for example show no interest in your issue -but only bring their own concerns to the fore – It tends to escalate a person’s anger. However, when in a similar situation you encounter a person who at the very least shows concern for your own concerns and welfare… It tends to de-escalate your anger does it not?”*

*Telling people you understand when you really don’t semi: telling people to calm down when their angry as well -doesn’t work for a lot of people! Listening quietly does in many cases! All some people want is to be heard!** Additionally, relating to people [supporting them] who are angry by telling them “UfI was in your position, I would be angry as well” also can be effective in de-escalating their anger or frustration(s). Thank You Magpie ❤

**When somebody comes to me with an issue nowadays, the first thing I ask them is this: Are you just wanting to be listened to; or are you seeking my input?

I wouldn’t say that the weak cannot help the week -but I will say it is often the case -the weak attempting to help the weak! Because the strong are often living in another part of town so to speak! Literally, and figuratively. When GOD made us, HE offered everything to us that HE knew we needed, I’m including things inside of us that would allow us collectively to face life together and be victorious! But mankind, with all the challenges life presents, and in spite of GOD’S wisdom, has chosen a different path -often leading to failure [or defeat if you will]! He leaves the weak behind in many instances. He also has his own ideas about what victory entails -He often buys into the notion that the life he himself has created [without GOD’S help so he thinks, nor his fellows so he thinks], is a Victorious one! How many of us can say that we achieve the life we achieved with no participation or help from our fellow human-beings or from GOD whatsoever!? How many of us believe we can have victory over life when God-ordained that man is to only have victory over life with God’s help and with the help of his fellow human beings in the form of unity and brotherhood of man? It just isn’t so! Whatever life you think you have built for yourself on your own which appears to be Victorious -is only a sham-life! It’s like the person who goes through life picking and choosing who he will love while disregarding the rest of his fellows -real love [inside of us] JUST DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY! 💔 So whatever you think you’re giving to “a select few”… you might want to think again!

Instead of men and women seeing themselves as an intricate part, two parts of a puzzle that need each other… We only see what… check that… we use what GOD-created as a beautiful mystery designed to help us to solve problems and provide us with companionship… We tend to see our differences in such a way as to only lead to conflict rather than harmony and benefit [opportunities for: growth; problem-resolution [where our own limitations end… where we ourselves are weak; our partner is perhaps strong; and visa-versa (if we have chosen a partner according to GOD’S will and wisdom); companionship; more balanced off-spring]!

Sometimes experiences we have had, we think 🤔 later prompt us to overreact; are in fact raising us, our attitudes… to the level where they/we should be to begin with! Where they should have been all along [🤔we are right where we’re supposed to be @ any given time?]. We have an experience over here, and we bring the residual effects of that experience experience over there. Isn’t that the way I’m supposed to work? Are we not at all times a product of all our experiences? Unless of course you choose to use that experience in a negative way in a situation over there! Experiences are designed to make us better not worse! Better not worse with the challenges that lie ahead! If man would only operate according to how GOD intended us to!

“I was raised to keep people away come and not draw them close to me!”If we know delayed consequences don’t work and delayed gratification is unwanted by man….

If we know delayed consequences don’t work and delayed gratification if something man wants nothing to do with… Then explain to me why…

Reverse psychology: Teaching [conditioning] people that the right way doesn’t work [is essentially the wrong way] because the world is backwards [without informing them the latter of course]! In the town where I live and where alcoholism and addiction and abuse and neglect are so prevalent… towards the women… it’s the norm… A man who is kind and honest and gentle and loving, is not greeted well. Finds out rathervquickly that his character is something they are not comfortable with. When children are not being taught as is the case now… or by example being shown the wrong way… it can work to their advantage when facing God! Since God is a just God, he does not punish people for not knowing right from wrong!

Child support and children, a couple of things I ran into that were problematic with the system: For one thing we don’t demand that parents work to raise their children and support them! For another thing we don’t keep tabs on how much money is being spent in the home on the children-my father spent a total of negative $100 a month on me every month in support.

What’s the opposite of retaliation? In terms of achieving the opposite result? The opposite result in a similar situation which calls for retaliation!

Depending on how often you clean something it will either continue to get cleaner or continue to get dirtier. Thoroughness matters as well!

The more I tell myself not to be afraid the more afraid I become!

Once the order has been sent from the brain to a particular part of the body it’s too late isn’t it?

“JUST GO BY THE FACTS -NOTHING MORE!”

“LEAVE “THE WALL” DOWN!”

Which is responsible for more human achievement, fear or lack of fear? Fear or courage?

FACEBOOK “Some people are here to be served; most to serve. You find out pretty early on, which you have “been brought here for”! When we recognize our place, and follow through on it, it saves us and others -a lot of problems! For the longest time… “I”… refused to accept “my place”. Still not entirely sure about it. [certainly don’t care for it*]” 🤔

*I have to remember though, “the physical world” and “the spiritual world” are like two pyramids that are “mirror-opposites”. Most people want to be a part of the Pyramid where they are on top -not at the bottom. It’s a little bit confusing. Confusing as to which one is right side up and the other is upside down. In the spiritual Pyramid, the last shall be 1st and the 1st shall be last – That being said, is the Pyramid right side up or right side down? Well I suppose it goes like this -in the physical world the spiritual Pyramid appears upside down. In the spiritual world the physical Pyramid appears upside down. So, 🤔 from this we take: What man often views as “the top” GOD often views as the bottom. Another way of looking at it is this: In “man’s world” -there is the most and the least. In “the spiritual world” everything is equally significant; however seemingly big or small [but man always wants “THE BIG”].

*You say we make our own fate? They’re fate in the traditional sense is nonsense? Some of the smartest people in the world, are the most successful. And some of the not smartest people in the world, are the most successful? They buck the odds. But is that what it is? Some of the smartest people in the world come as hard as they try, can only amass nominal success! It just doesn’t make any sense; unless you look at it from the standpoint that it’s fate.

Some people will not do anything charitable -unless it’s big. They’ll cut a million dollar check; but they won’t go to the soup line and serve soup (beneath them?]. They’ll even cut a million dollar check as long as it’s tax deductible. Some people dream of doing big things; but they can’t even do the most humble (simplest] of things -really??? Very telling! Probably most of the most successful people in life [(certainly the most rounded (and grounded?)] started somewhere close to the bottom-thinking about it!

2 things man must always contend with: His [excessive] appetites; His [flailing/fleeting] sense of worth. Is this a system of checks and balances? [Or] Does man purposely instill in his fellow man “A SENSE OF UNWORTHINESS” [i.e. in his spawn -at an early age] in order to have a “competetive-edge”? Two ways man gains superiority over his fellow man: work to surpass others; work to thwart the progress of those around him.

Thank you for answering my prayer dear LORD 🙏🏻; for I had forgotten in a split 2nd this following writing which was a spinner from the above: If you really want to screw over your enemy get him before hes even been born! I utero? Ironically enough, or rather interestingly enough, it either doesn’t seem feasible, or 🤔 it simply isn’t necessary*. If you can produce a generation of highly dysfunctional individuals… They will do the work for you; in screwing over the next generation royally! Thus, giving you and your children “a significant competitive-edge”!

*Some people become so enamored with 💰; 💰, and the power it holds on this plane! Way beyond most people’s… MONEY IS THEIR GOD! 🤷‍♂️ The way the story goes is GOD should be the most important thing in your life! Therefore, 🤔 whether your “in the game or not” (because it’s a law and 🤔 last time I checked -none of us is exempt “from the law!”), whatever happens to be the most important thing “to you” is, “for all intense and purposes” (is there a more “impending* -“intensive purpose”” in/to life?) “YOUR GOD” -agree with it or not; like it or not!

*Had to look up 🤔

Does fear* put others at an advantage or at a disadvantage? How bout anger? Fighting a man who’s filled with anger or even rage can be a daunting task [but not to the man who is prepared for it].

*Do most people excel or underachieve [had to look up “opposite” of excel -sorry (didn’t feel like fumbling for a bit with it)] based upon fear?

☆☆☆☆☆Remember, 🤔 be prepared for anything! [With a few simple (basic) principles].

Do you know exactly what you need to do in order to stay it’s your exact weight and health? It came to me the other day-another way of looking at this is follow a precise exercise regime and you will reach a precise level and maintain it more or less by following the exact regime consistently. Only GOD can precisely… Just about everything involving man fluctuates -however slightly.

* Is man that diabolical and calculating with regard to his fellow man? No! Man is that diabolical and calculating with regard to achieving his own ends! Man just happens to be one of those obstacles in the way -by his way of thinking. Because everybody more or less wants the same thing out of life! Setting up a dysfunctional generasian is the beginning of a chain reaction of ensuing generations change when people are overworked, lacking in self knowledge, lacking in perspective, carrying within themselves a sense of helplessness and hopelessness with regard to making any significant change in their lives.

Some people get put into a situation where they are clearly unfamiliar and therefore their skills are weak. But they very quickly learn and strengthen in those areas where their skills are neat -must be nice!

Playing the victim is all well and fine -perhaps when you are single. A lot of things may in fact seem fine when you are single. But when you have a partner they are watching you. For one thing they have an entirely different perspective or bandage point. Another thing is that people are always looking to get a good deal -not a bad one! Not that there’s not some merit in a bad one – JESUS took on all kinds of bad deals -and gained merit after merit after merit [Glory in HIS case]!

“BE GENTLE WITH ONE ANOTHER.”

“You know how many opportunities I’ve had in life personally and on the job and how did the world to communicate to people with diplomacy and wisdom and gentleness? Situations were people were hurtful or thoughtless? And you know how many of those opportunities have actually seized upon? Practically none of them! I either lashed out come or later in life get my mouth shut. Was it ego? Was it pride? Was it resentmentfulness? Was it self-preservation or self-interest? Was it aloofness? Was it discouragement? Was it ignorance? Was it fear?

People pulling up stakes and leaving seems to be a more and more common thing with relationships-people are becoming less and less monogamous minded in terms of sticking it out for the Long Haul! So,🤔 when our expectations don’t meet reality -even if that reality happens to be unrealistic or enhealthy… guess it doesn’t matter grom a certain perspective -You had an unreal expectations nonetheless! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

■■■■■ It takes humility to talk, and to listen a certain way. It takes humility to talk and to listen under certain circumstances. Clint Walker

SPEAK HUMBLY; SPEAK SOFTLY; SPEAK ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING WORTH LISTENING TO!

“Go by the facts only “STAY-IN-THE-NOW!”; and nothing more!” And emotionally -you will be closer than ever to being aligned!

People who are mature have all sorts of advantages over people who are immature! When people are are facing people… when people who are mature are facing or being challenged by people who are immature…. The advantage definitely goes to the “more mature person!” In most cases*!

*Except maybe when it comes to 🤔 [a physical altercation]!

Don’t let life alter your Attitude or your Serenity! I suppose what I’m speaking of is composure? Attitude and Serenity equal composure? Composure I suppose is external; but what comprises it are: Attitude [state of the mind] and Serenity [state of the ❤]!

People don’t like to be wrong; even when they should be happy to be wrong [from movie “SULLY”]!

Many of us truly value life [the one “we’re given”, and actual “human-life” and “human-tragedy -whenever it should strike [do we really FEEL…] on the level [@ the “depth”] we should???? NOT ME!!!! 😔 [“incidentally, this emoji popped up @ end of sentence”].

How many Americans in this country are equipped to survive -should the parameters of civilization break down?

Taking…

2 choices in life:

▪︎What we focus on and give power to; which in turn affects our “COMPOSURE” [our “Attitude” -the state of our minds; our “Serenity -the state of our 💕].

▪︎Whether to bring out “the (very) best” in those around us; or, 🤔 “the (very) worst”! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Until you raise a child you’ll never come full circle. Until you forgive your parents you’ll never go full circle.

People, certain people will try to provoke us into ruining “the relationship”. They themselves either cannot do it. Or, in their own minds, can not allow themselves to be responsible -directly! How many times do people side-step? Instead of dealing with difficulties directly; we deal with them indirectly, or inappropriately [neurosis?]. Like when I have “fear” in my relationships -instead of confronting it [myself; my own…], or approaching the individual i’m in a relationship with about it; I do “sabotage”.

In any given situation we can only go to one extreme or the other -right? WRONG! We can also choose to off shoot in an entirely different direction [avoidance maybe?].

What do foreigners know about the A.M.S.? APPARENTLY “ONE HELUVA LOT” BECAUSE THEY WERE RUNNING MANY OF THE MUSIC COMPANIES AT THE TIME!

Was told it’s not the water but the cooking oil that is at issue in Mexico making tourists sick!

If you had to be stuck with 2 staples on a deserted island; I was told “beans and rice” would be it.

Nowadays, athletes are not happy with 30 40 50 million a year. It used to be that they would pay money out of pocket to be able to play in the professionals. My how times and attitudes have changed -along with ego’s!

Names???

Human beings have other identifiable [distinguishable] signatures besides fingerprints and DNA.

Can man make the sun come up? Can man create life? Can he heal a wound? In the program we do everything to promote healing but we ourselves cannot heal. In the program we do everything to promote growth with a seed -but we ourselves DO NOT… are not actually responsible for “THE PROCESS” which takes place. Perhaps someday… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

“You throw yourself out there, there’s always a certain amount of risk involved with the spoils.”

The part of us that is not good is the part that needs the healing most. The part I call “my little Ricky” is that part of me -THE DEFENDER! -THE RETRIBUTOR <-[had to verify 👍]!

I remember watching the movie tombstone and seeing the part where the question was asked, what does ringo want why is hes so angry? I’m before the words themselves came out, they rolled off of my lips “For being born!” It’s as if in that moment 🤔 we were one in the same!

I’m beginning to realize that there are human beings involved on both sides. For example, when I have a loved one in the hospital…… I try to consider both the person I love and care for deeply as well as the person or people in charge of caring for them however flawed or limited or compromised they may be in doing their job for any number of reasons. People are people are people or people and should all be treated with do do respect and consideration 🤔 -if not love!

Let us try to concentrate on what GOD is doing and not what the world is not doing for us. Or as a friend of mine puts it, “What the world is doing ‘for us’ -not to us!”

When you are beneath a situation -you come out with both barrels loaded-you come out “swinging”! When you are above a situation -you come out with “understanding and compassion”! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

“Don’t get ‘broad-sided'”.

Some people manage to save up or accumulate a store of energy in preparation for a situation -this tends to serve them well! 🤔

Working out without proper rest and nutrition is counter productive – As is improper dieting!

Most people’s f***** u* s*** tends to revolve around other human beings; in relation to themselves of course! Human beings are still very much hunters and fishermen-fishers of men! But not like in The Bible! Companies go around putting alluring things on hooks to catch man, to capture their money to be more specific. We as men have to be more than just a fish. I’ve said it many times, if money is power wire so many of us giving it away? Giving it away to other people so that they can have more and more power over us? Why? Why? Why? Why? As a highly intelligent and sound minded individual once put it “We’re doing it all wrong”. Having excess riches and excess power -does not condone one’s choice to slump or slum or slumber!

When I was younger I used to connive and scheme like any needy child.

I stuck around this town for over 30 years, scared and emotionally dependent on my family and familiar surroundings-never really realizing that there was nothing there to depend on!

When you are preoccupied by how you act, come across, or are perceived by others -You are into self, and actually create the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve with regard to others!! Most people are self-centered to a certain degree-and the thing many of us load most is being around self centered people! We can’t be the center of attention when we’re surrounded by people who are also interested in being the center of attention! Which is one reason why so many self-centered people enjoy being surrounded by non-self-centered people

Power begets more power; and self centeredness begets more self centeredness!

As long as we keep pursuing “X”, “Y”will never entirely win over us! In some cases we may even enjoy an absolute victory over “Y”!

With regard to recovery, it’s a learning experience and very early on we have to recognize our own limitations. Not all men are created equal under the umbrella of addiction! One person can get by with a meeting a week while another needs 3 A-day! Just because we see one man getting by on a meeting a week doesn’t mean we can. Doesn’t mean hes actually getting by all that well either!! He may just look like he is!

Every time I start up I say God told me… people look at me strangely… or worse yet.. But God talks to every man Every time I start up I say “God told me…” people look at me strangely… or worse yet.. But God talks to every man. But not every man listens!

The fact of the matter is 🤔 we don’t know what people are putting in our food and what they’re making our clothes out of and so forth… What we’re breathing in or soaking into our skin or ingesting…. In man’s own ever-increasing haste for profit -among other things…. Inherently, or necessarily, HUMANS DO NOT, OR CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT TRUSTING! WE DO OUR BEST TO “CHOOSE WISELY” is suppose. But it is wise to sharpen our abilities in this area. It’s probably just as important to not mistrust situations that are trustworthy; as it is to not trust situations that aren’t trustworthy. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

The less we get away from principles the more we begin to thrive on the material world. The more our means [methods] of attaining these things will become scrupulous [had to verify 🤔]! Man is also becoming more refined and more detail-oriented with regard to his quest for material-things and riches and status!

I told you the man was gonna be charging more for shirts that are larger than for shirts that are smaller -this came to me about 25 years ago. Now they’re charging more or less for certain colors. It’s already begun.

I think I see the problem in this case with the attitude of our nurse. Many of the people in the general population here suck, and as a result this poor woman has probably been dealing with hundreds or thousands of them over the years and so her own attitude has come to suck.

The more quick a person isn’t there awareness of a thing or they’re surroundings… the more quickly they will recognize the positive and the negatives then will others! A quick study trying to have a conversation with a slow study about a particular thing or place……. May not go so well

I f you continue focusing on something and with increasing emotion, you may find that your understanding as well as your relation to that thing increase dramatically-and possibly infinitely too!

By the time we notice it it may be too late. By the time we start to do something in order to be fit for the ensuing challenge, it may be too late for us! When we allow ourselves to become weak in a particular area, life is better able to overwhelm us! Which is why it’s always best to remain strong in all areas as much as possible -to the last

The last thing we are willing to give up…. is control… and to admit defeat! But in many cases it’s the only way thru!

Often times, it is those mo.ents we are least in control [which so many of us hate,, fight,,… and which is why FAITH is soooo important for us] -GOD is best able to step in!

The strongest thing in us usually wins [+ /-]. But it also needs a vector.

There is, 🤔 always has been, 🤔 always will be… 🤔 a precise correlation between our spiritual, moral conduct and that which we will experience on the material plane!

Are you bad people in the world, be grateful that there’s still some good people in it-otherwise God would do away with the whole thing!

Perhaps when the universe can no longer stomach the state of mankind debauchery… that is when God will come down on the day of judgment! Or when everything gets so bad that man is finally willing to across-the-board get down on his knees to the Almighty! Why doesn’t God take us when we’re children and I’m still free from sin? 🤔

It can take a while to train the mind and transform the heart from being selfish and self-centered to other-centered! There is constantly opportunity to apply thoughtfulness without having to be overly imaginative or overly helpful.

People are quick to complain slow to say thank you. Quick to criticize slow to compliment.

We must always be on the lookout for selfishness and self centeredness. And when we spot it try to move towards selflessness and concern for others once again. Nothing to be ashamed of so long as we’re willing to move back…

If we don’t heal from… Its symptoms will likely continue to haunt us. Emotional ills and spiritual ills…. It’s amazing how quickly we run to the doctor for physical ills but not emotional and spiritual ones!

For some people it’s hard to cut loose and for others it’s hard not to!

People have gotten to the point where they think they need to tolerate the system we’re living under high for nothing could be further from the truth! Course I didn’t say it would be easy because it’s interwoven with the needs… That’s what keeps it in place is that it’s inner woven with our needs. That’s how the people designed and get you.

Relationships I think are about 2 things: Being emotionally able or capable. And if you’ve been hurt or abused or traumatized, then healing to the point where you are [avail]able or capable; the other part is knowing, or learning what to do. By what ever means, knowing or discovering just exactly what a person is supposed to do in or as part of half of this thing called “a relationship”. 🤷‍♂️

In football you make a cut when the person’s foot is just leaving the turf -There’s really no way to defend that. Same thing in basketball. 👍

BLASTING ANOTHER ONE OF satan’s MYTHS OUT OF THE WATER ALONG WITH DARWIN, PLAGUES, AND…: 🤔 “IF GOD IS A PUNISHING GOD LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE IN ALCOHOLICS ANONOMOUS ALLUDE TO, THEN ANSWER ME THIS “WHY ARE THERE SO MANY “BAD PEOPLE” RUNNING AROUND “UNPUNISHED”? The fact of the matter for many Alcoholics coming into recovery is likely this: THE FEEL SO ASHAMED, SO FRIGHTENED OF A PUNISHING GOD WHO CLEARLY HAS THEIR NUMBER! THEY ARE THE ONE’S WHO FIGURE “THEY’VE GOT IT COMING”! SO THEY DECIDE TO TAKE IT OUT ON GOD BY LABELING HIM; OR BY 🤔 BEATING HIM TO THE PUNCH [WE’LL GET AROUND GOD PUNISHING US BY DISOWNING HIM!!! RIGHT??? NONSENSE!!! They’re wrong about God being a punishing God and they’re wrong about getting around consequences by disowning God or by changing his character!

Sometimes “WE PICK THE WRONG HORSE”. And GOD doesn’t go along with us!

I’ve met a few extraordinary women -either didn’t know it [at the time by demeaning them by questioning their character] didn’t know what to do with them!

Man chases things. It seems to be part of his makeup. How many things in this country do we chase the cause us to lose our peace of mind and our serenity and even disrupt our own value system in the process -thus throwing us out of kilter all together? We give up the very things we’re looking for in their pursuit of… -hoping they will give it back to us in even greater measure [you can’t compensate for that which is incompensatable (like violating your own “values-system”) 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️]! Maybe we’re simply satisfying our self-destructive, self loathing nature; our “need to ‘hunt-and-gather'”, as well as our “insatiable-hunger” for either “more-than-our-fair-share” or “something-for-nothing”. Man is always trying to find ways to get more for less! But we all know how the universe works! And we’ll know what building character requires! We also know that “anything worth having, is worth working for”. 💪 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

People toil and toil and toil hoping that one day they will set aside their “beast-of-burden” years [tribute to Stones 💋] and live comfortably and happily. Living comfortably and happily is a choice depending on where we set our standards at that moment! And really it all comes down to gratitude! Gratitude and Attitude! These are simple concepts that eliminate the need for years of toil to reach a particular place on the physical plane! They also eliminate all the uncertainty that exists in the world! They eliminate all the uncertainty that exists in the world that often times compromises or limits our quest for said things on the physical plane! The choice is simply ours to make!

BY-PRODUCT! Some things simply come as a by-product [not as a product you buy]! But we try to go at them directly by by-passing “the natural process” itself! A guy decides he wants to work as an attorney so 🤔, he wakes up one morning, goes out and knocks on the door of a local law office, walks in and says “I want a job as an attorney”. The lawyer asks him what his background is as well as his education. The man replies “I don’t have any, I just want to be an attorney”. Well I think we can all see where this is going -as well as the moral of the story. So yes, while it is true that in man’s world you have to earn your stripes, earn your place… It is also true that “basing internal things on the external things” is not only is unnecessary, it’s unwise! Another example, this guy is on drugs, dirty and dingy, broke, socially inept… maybe even has a few emotional/mental issues going on there… He walks up to this very beautiful girl and says “I want you, can we go out on a date and have sex?” The girl looks at him in utter shock and dismay -and naturally turns him down. The following year the young man gets his s*** together -decides to clean up his act, go to counseling to get better -and to become gainfully employed. In other words, to once again become a contributing member of society rather than one who is problematic to it. Even starts going to the gym and working out, eating right etcetera… A year later, that same girl notices him at the gym but doesn’t recognize who he is from before. She gazes at him smiling from across the room and draws his attention. You see the concept here? But once again, it doesn’t mean we rest our peace of mind and our joy upon external events or outcomes. But in order to be a contributing member of society and a member of the human race… as deemed by GOD as right and good… we do have to follow certain processes. However, it is always good to keep in mind that there is a variance between following processes which lead us to what GOD would have for us on the road ahead versus following processes which lead us to what man would have for us on the road ahead. GOD always wants what’s best for us 100%! Man is always looking for his cut [HIS OR HER “TAKE”] -in any given situation! See the difference in following GOD’S PLAN versus operating in man’s realm? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

In the Western civilization we’ve constantly overlooked the ways of the eastern teachings. We chase after something that can only be had through accepting it as GOD’S gift to us! By allowing it to happen through placing material things at the lowest possible end of the spectrum of importance!

Most human beings in this country have at least one major issue do and a few minor ones they’ve yet to conquer or address!

Maybe some of the cures for our illnesses are not so radical as we might think. Maybe we need to start daming the radical is normal and the uncommon as common or the common as uncommon! For example, who knows what the medical value is behind inhailing a little bit of crushed cinnamon into our lungs. Or what the harm is in accidentally inhaling… x, y, z… God placed things in the world that are harmful to us I suppose. Man comes along and follows suit! But I’m guessing in the grand scheme of things they are both very different! God does things with a very different intention and is perfectly in tune with…

When man makes an assertion, he is subordinate to the realities around him -though he often attempts to turn the tables on GOD’S creation [or attempts to fool himself in an attempt to prop up his inadequacies and bruised, or deflated ego]! When GOD makes an assertion, reality is changed to just that!

What law did mankind ever create the? What life did man ever create?

A man and a woman United and who have GOD’S blessing have enough troubles of their own. Just think of the troubles involved in the same sex relationship where GOD has not blessed that Union!

None of us gets everything we want. People who have aspirations of being a singer… or a doctor… or a nurse… or a teacher…. People are denied these dreams all the time. 99% of the population looks forward to a relationship. A healthy and happy relationship that A healthy and happy relationship that… Has guards blessing as well as the blessing of those they love. Homosexual relationships have struggled mightily with the teachings in The Bible and with the stigma of societidy born in bred in the teachings of The Bible itself in most cases I’m guessing. Think about what our world would be like without Jesus teachings. I’ve heard many homosexual say they didn’t ask for it. Many in fact say they don’t want it. But there is an alternative. Giving up your dream like so many! Everybody has a dream they have to give up! But when it comes to relationships, most people are unwilling to give that up! It’s too unfair! Too close to the heart! But it’s just another one of those things, however painful…. As with anything else in life that… Just like most of us want to be billionaires but only a handful ever make it there. Is it unfair? I have no idea! But making a s*** load of money and having a relationship are probably the 2 most important things in American society today! Most of us end up doing without the money so why wouldn’t a few of us do without a relationship? The 10% rule exclamation 0.10% are alcoholic exclamation 0.10% are homosexual! What’s with the 10%?

A lot of children in this country drink alcoholically but are not alcoholics! Because of how it makes them feel and because of social norms and acceptance and because of the campaign by alcohol alcohol beverage companies making it all the more alluring!

A lot of parents say that they will allow their own children to eventually make up their mind about drugs and alcohol usage! But they fail to realize that they taint their children’s decision making by they themselves setting a poor example! For example, they tell their children not to smoke -while they themselves are smoking in front of them! Obviously they are telling them this because it is bad for their health -while demonstrating that they themselves care little for their own health! Backwards at best! Don’t we really have any idea how much we injure our children by our examples! Are we so ignorant as to believe that we are going to set one example, then expect our children to make a level-headed decision about that very thing on their own? We don’t want our children to make a fair decision. Actually what we want is to distort their decision making so badly that they will never ever choose drugs or alcohol or smoking!

I used to do the groups up at the hospital and saw the laxa daisical motivation on the faces of many of these people… People who in fact would often talk of how they were doing what they were doing for their families and for their children… I would say to them two things:

● Don’t you think you are as important as your children?

● If your children have cancer, and you are sitting in here listening in on a briefing to improve their chances of survival.. What would your attitude be then?

What is the truth? What is the difference between a truth and a lie? The truth and a falsity? Your children is on death’s bed and a man approaches you and says walk out your back door and dig a hole 3′ deep West of the cherry tree and you will find a cure for your child’s illness. It’s the follow the instructions and it’s not there. It was a falsity or a lie! A woman approaches you and says walk out the back door of your house and dig a hole 6′ deep underneath the elm tree on the North side. You do so and find something there. You give it to your child and they miraculously recover. This is the difference between a falsity calm a lie, and the truth! This is the difference between satan and GOD!

It’s demanding for me to act in such a way that is acceptable by society standards [to allow relationships to form I suppose I should say]. But not impossible as it used to be at 1 point in my life. Or should I say the vast majority of it!

Gambling outfits enjoy an offset advantage. When someone comes along for example counting cards to offset that advantage, it is considered illegal -is that some kind of a joke? Do you think most people are in it for the entertainment value? They wanna win money too!

Would you rather have your child die at an early age and then end up spending the rest of eternity and heaven with you? Or would you rather have them here and now for a short while? People never think of things in these terms.

When a child or other family member is taken prematurely, and It is done so to pay for the sins of the others in that family, that they too may enjoy eternity and heaven… those people who have been spared will be eternally grateful to God and to that loved one for their sacrifice of love eternally! Literally!

You don’t think people pay for their behavior? The universe is the most precise mechanism there is! Albeit ran by a merciful God who is All-powerful and all-knowing and all loving!

Man is in a hurry to seek vengeance and to seek punishment! GOD always knows where we are -and wants to give us “the opportunity” atine for our own transgressions wilfully -therefore, HE is not in any rush, or in any sense of urgency. Understand?

Man wants GOD to punish his enemies. But begs for mercy when it comes to his own ill’s! This is one thing we hate about GOD -is that he lacks a double standard!

When we get into a dispute with another human being, we want Justice from the Old Testament. When GOD sees 2 people fighting or in a dispute, HE sees 2 of his children! Now just imagine the dispute or fight being between 2 of your children! 🤔

Man so often is too quick to abandon his fellow man when trouble is at hand! While man does not necessarily see humanity has his family –GOD does! And man hates it when GOD [circumstances] forces him to behave as such!

Very few things God asks of us to make a commitment to and then stand by it! Marriage is one of them! And man can’t even do that! His happiness is far too important to him!

When we see people getting special treatment we complain -in many cases we want it stopped [because we don’t like the way it makes us feel*]! Knowing that we ourselves will not receive it, we attempt to prevent others from receiving what we would ask for ourselves, what we all in fact should receive. Instead of being happy for the few who are receiving what we can perhaps only dream of… we try to stamp it out as quickly as possible!

*Instead of standing up for our own justice, we seek to thwart the good-fortune of others! 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ It’s not only illogical, it’s despicable!

People have always been preferential in their attitudes and behaviors. Perhaps the worst example is with our own children.

People who kiss a** find it often works! For man is often a vain, arrogant individual!

How can one person in a town think it’s wonderful and another one think it’s horrible? How can one person think of a person as wonderful while another person thinks of them as horrible? Different standards? Different behaviors [treatment]?

If they are spending 100,000s of thousands on commercials… for UTIs then there must be something going on possibly? Some thing new happening with humanity. Or 🤔 man simply waking up to another age-old issue he/she can capitalize on!

Man doesn’t want to go entirely with GOD and he doesn’t want to go entirely with satan because he doesn’t like the consequences of either! 😇😈

One thing I could never do was recognize android step back and see what the nature of a situation ory person is and move forward accepting it just as that! To say “OK, this is what I can expect from this person -even though it is limited, or short of my own expectations, or GOD’S standard!

Even though I was getting more from having a relationship in my life -I destroyed them because it wasn’t as much as I wanted!

When you are a “complete individual” you A] have more to offer and B] are less inclined to place demands on your relationship or be affected by events, circumstances etcetera…

Why did GOD have to make sex so enjoyable? 🤔

When we become overly sensitized to something or decent citized to something.. Things stop working rider they stop working at all!

Anything man is offering karma in most cases you confess you’re gonna get the short end of the stick. As time goes on, and man figures out more ingenious ways to squeeze profits out of his “dealings”… Expect us to get more and more the short end of the stick to get shorter lol. If we go backwards and reverse this trend… or if we move forward reversing this trend…

So 🤔 what’s the difference between bad-people and good people who are fed up with bad people?

Bad or sick GOD eagerly awaits our sincere call to be forgiven! But our fellow man is quite a different animal!

We want GOD to accept us unconditionally; but many of us accept HIM conditionally! 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Things like guilt ARE NOT SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES! REMORSE IS THOUGH!

Not everything GOD or AA asks of is is a struggle! Some things are a great relief! Like not beating our selves over the head with shame and guilt!

I remember coming to the realization early in my recovery that in order to get “over there” I will have to go through… to get there! Swallowing hard, I realized that that was me digesting a chunk of reality semi-willingly, semi-knowingly for the very first time!

“IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER HAD BEFORE; YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE!”

Most people want a good life! They don’t really want everything that matters to them destroyed!

“WORTH” is one of those words in the human lexicon that…. if a person feels unworthy.. BECOMING USEFUL, DOING THINGS USEFUL AS OPPOSED TO “COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE” GUILT, SHAME… WALLOWING!!!!

No body likes to go to the EMERFENCY-ROOM but… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Don’t have to keep looking over my shoulder; Don’t have to worry about taking a trip and getting busted on plane or border-check. And, you have time and money to do the things drugs and alcohol compromised -swallowed up! Go out and begin to do those things [again] drugs and alcohol eventually robbed you of!

Oh thank you GOD THANK YOU!!! FOR ANSWERING A PRAYER YESTERDAY AND REMINDING ME I ASKED!!!

“I DON’T NEED TO BE FORGIVEN AND I DON’T NEED TO BE MADE AMENDS TO -MY OWN RECOVERY IS COMPLETELY UP TO ME!” [BETWEEN GOD AND I]. NOW INSOFAR AS AA GOES, THIS PERFECT PROGRAM… GOD SET IT UP SO WE NEED EACH OTHER… SO THAT WE CAN GET, INOST INSTANCES, WHAT WE NEED FROM EACH OTHER BECAUSE -WE NEED EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO SURVIVE!”

Until we take the horses back… people think not hurting others is enough! Oh, now that I’m no longer drinking, raging, hitting… oh that’s good enough!!!! BS!!!!! We have to repair….

Big problem in this world 🤔 -lot of people running around with a s***** attitude! The problem doesn’t just exist within the realm of humanity itself however in so far as the effects it has!! The whole world and universe suffers from this plague! Nature… Vibes radiating towards and back from the universe…

We were not put here to deplete -but to replenish!

“GOD DOESN’T GET NEARLY ENOUGH CREDIT FOR HIS SONGWRITING!”

What is with all these people trying to screw each other over in the world???? Simply put 🤔 –THEY’RE SICK!!!! People satan is controlling hate when you identify them as such!

FACEBOOK “Ahem! The 🌎 we all live in [today]: We’re either part of the problem; encouraging it; allowing it; or discouraging it. And I don’t see nearly enough discouraging going on these days [no crusaders]!”

The way to expose satan is through being open and telling the truth! Man conceals satan through his secrets and his untruthfulness!

How to prevent man from making changes to his world 🤔: Making feel himself is not in danger; Make him feel any attempt at change will go badly for him; Make him unaware or dull to the fact there’s even a problem; Make him feel powerless to do anything; Even though he is aware of the problem, make him so detached from the sense that he has any clue what to do! Attacking his strengths using combinations -generally works best!

It used to be I did all kinds of crazy s*** when I couldn’t get enough of this world! But now that I’ve had too much of it…

You want to find a person who is strong in a particular area and then further their edification or skill in that particular area -and they will go the farthest! But never underestimate the power of someone’s will exclamation poand and there is a 3rd thing or is the will the 3rd thing?

You know there are things that are there but you can’t see them but you can sense them. Michael Angelo statue of David was there before he ever sculpted it. I believe it just needed the access removed.

Humans are seldom willing to take on the burdens, or the afflictions of their fellow human beings! There are some people however who would even be willing to take on the sins of the world though there was only “ONE” who had the actual ability + willingness to do so!

In spiritual matters, strength, power matters also. When we prayer, if it is weak… 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️

Yes, GOD can see the future; but the age-old answer to the age-old question of whether or not; the future having been written [fate], can be changed; 🤔 it seems fairly simple once one is open to the answer, truth, included in, INSCRIPTED ON GOD’S SEEING OUR FUTURE ARE “THE CHANGES THROUGH THE CHOICES WE HAVE MADE”; AND PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT DONE TOO LATE, OR WITH TOO LITTLE RESOLVE, I BELIEVE A CHANGE IN COURSE [FUTURE] CAN BE MADE OR EXPERIENCED! I suppose most people really, rarely give sufficient thought to the answers to such questions -which is why for so long, they tend to go unanswered!*

*There is an eventual outcome; but to say “we have no say in it” -Poppycock! Bullocks!

Nurses don’t even [want to] touch the patient nowadays. Gloves! Gloves! Gloves!

It should be easy to operate above the average person -but I struggle! Was I like the elephant conditioned to believe he is a mouse?

How much of your own amimosity towards others do you tolerate, even condone within yourself?

If you’re not kind to people 🤔 then all that talk of JESUS, quoting of the Bible… what is it all for 🤔 what is it really saying about how serious you are?

Why can’t people just act right? Well part of that answer lies with the people who presumably do!

KEEP IT SIMPLE! I am finally beginning to recognize the value of this sge-old AA slogan! The simpler MY LIFE IS -the less room there is for my “Alcoholism” to come out and play! 🤷‍♂️

In my experience, when the program fails -IT IS ALWAYS THE PERSON THAT IS @ ISSUE! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

This program for me addresses:

●Alcohol

●Character-defects

●Better way of living

●Better relationships with GOD, self, others!

Anything we’re closed to PROBABLY ISN’T GOING TO WORK!

●Church

●Counseling

●AA too

For some people AA is a step up, others, a step down, still others a way through!

Whether you enjoy AA or not, it works! There’s definitely a lesson in there somewhere! 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️

If you do it, the results will come –action tends to trump attitude [or feelings]!

Why do most of us [in our prime to midde-age] not have issues with children and “old-folk” Why do we have issues with [or take issue with] people in their prime-middle-age? When for example they 🤔 cut in line in front of us, or 🤔 flip us off! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️Do we not like ourselves much -and we see our selves in them? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I’ve heard some people sat they’re grateful to be an Alcoholic! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤔

1] Working with others

2] Intolerance for spiritual principles

*Lot of things in that book…. if you string them together…[from different sections] 🤔🤔🤔

We think we’re guilty only after we do something; But since God knows our hearts inside and out he knows exactly what we would do in situations before they’ve even occurred or ever will! God knew what we would do. So let me ask you this; What kind of a person or add it to do you think you would hold during the slave days of this country? Would you be the type of person that fit right in with The Times or would you be the kind of person that would stop and think to themselves “this can’t be right”. What kind of a person would you be in Jesus time? Would you be the one with sympathy or the 1 throwing the rocks? You’d be in the majority throwing rocks or would you be in the minority having empathy?

You know I’m not as f***** u* as I thought I was! At this time in my life I am seriously reconsidering… Babe. All my life I thought I was screwed up. Oh my wife other people fell in the screen drop. Having just had lunch with the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world… that a large part of my problem throughout my life has been to purposely or subconsciously do things to put people off or push them away. I’m gonna hold another dimension no trying to allow myself -and bring this other person closer to me. When you’ve been practicing things to the contrary all of your life it’s a bit of a challenge.

When you can envision the change and people’s attitudes towards you before you leave an altar the behavior…. It’s magical.

The key to life is to always attempt to surpass whatever she exacts from you; and not to try and skirt or scurry [shy] away from it!

There are a ton of people who can sing like superstars; but only so many slots for millions to be made.

The number of rich people in this country is growing significantly but the size of NBA basketball arenas and NFL football stadiums hasn’t grown so that is why the poor in the middle class need to move over for the rich. That is why prices are sky rocketing. Because group X doesn’t give a s*** about XY

One of the greatest weaknesses man has going against him is -his concern for his life above all else. Some things gnaw at men more than dying.

Some people have way more attention than they need and others have way less -what’s up with that?

What’s up with the 14 year old girl having all kinds of power -and a grown man has none?

What type of people who have more power than they know how to handle?

Some people believe if you can’t protect it -then you don’t deserve to keep it! These are people operating from an entirely different principle!

Courage & Strength! Courage & Faith! Courage & Effort! Courage & Consistency! TO STAY ON “THE BEAM”! Courage because fear is the first thing to weaken and compromise! Strength because Strength is “the antithesis” of weakness! Faith because Faith gives us strength! Effort because Effort helps to foster consistency! Consistency [is the antithesis of compromise -for better or for worse] because weakness and thoughts of compromise are always lurking!

*…because fear is always my immediate reaction [the problem, or prompter]. The others 🤔 are to keep us “steady”. Just imagine what it would be like being “remarkably unshakable”!

Man is more likely to change things out of a lack of consideration -rather than kindness!

11 -Aunts WBC [down from 19 told previously] according to “Big “RON”” That number, as does on occasion, came to me just a second or two prior to his giving us “the numbers”.

I have developed, over the years, many [a number of I should say] layers [defenses] to my personality. It is a struggle to keep them in check; and 🤔 I am finding out -very tiring! While others seemingly have very few layers [variance] to theirs at all. So consistency for these people is not only highly likely, there really seems to be little in the way of “any other option”. These people, in all actuality, would struggle [tire in their efforts] to be “inconsistent”. For every “Yin” there is a “Yang”!

People who have been traumatized, but are also more forthcoming and honest, are more vulnerable to ensuing bouts of fear. But tend to heal at a higher, and faster rate [clip].

Some people have multiple personalities; some people have “a multi-layered personality”.

Riddle-me-this: “Paranoia* and boredom 🤔

*it’s only Paranoia “when you’re wrong”!

However stupid the assertion… when you’re wrong, you really look “stupid”, but when you’re right 🤔 you look like a genius! Have we exhausted most avenues of “common-sense” 🤔 and is it “the age of ‘uncommon-sense'”? Just as 🤔 “Rock n’ Roll” may have withered because they ran out of “chords on ‘the guitar'”? I mean look at what they went to! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ it’s as if it was “the only option” lol

When you are trying to draw something or someone out you doe “X”; when you are trying to fend something or someone off you do “Y”. Now with regard to relationships -this is what makes them so intriguing and challenging! Just because someone is coming at you doesn’t necessarily mean fending them off is the right move in that particular instance; 🤔 or with that particular individual. And just because someone seems withdrawn doesn’t mean we should try to draw them out either necessarily.

Which is worse 🤔 -not knowing or knowing and not having the courage to…?

While it may be true from what I have been told that women get in sync with her. With one another, I think it’s also true that they get in sync with the attitudes they hold

Sometimes we have to be stronger, and perhaps more humbles than our partners.

There are certain things in relationships you stay away from There are vast multitude of them I suppose when one wants to get intricate and detail. You avoid comparisons between yourself and their previous partner. And you avoid comparisons between your previous partner and them. You don’t give someone a gift and constantly hound them about it afterwards. Get the picture?.

It’s not that GOD doesn’t listen it’s that we don’t listen or that he knows we’ve already made up our minds!

Man frivolously and carelessly and liberally takes advantage of the self will [and the freedoms] GOD has endowed him with!

It’s absolutely shocking how much of man’s literature doesn’t include GOD IN IT! We’re so concerned about imposing spiritual or religious views on other people to the point where we eliminate that which has makes all things possible?

I’ve never known GOD to come down and tell me who to marry or what job to choose [And when he does -I can’t hear HIM or I don’t listen]. But once we have made our decision and acted upon it, GOD has given us principles and direction for how too act and get through these situations.

Animosity towards your partner is never a good thing. Oftentimes it starts with something small or even unfounded. It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to put a stop to this. It’s amazing how many people buy into it!

When you’re not hearing from your partner and feeling suspicious or neglected… think about it like nicotine in the bloodstream, the longer you go without it -the urge or sensation to have it begins to grow -not only in you, but in them!

You skirt the line with your spirituality Rich! When in fact you should be doing everything you can to steer as clear and far away from spiritual-atrophy as much as possible! By now you shouldn’t know how to do that!

It’s not just what we do and don’t do but the zone we inhabit at any given time that plays a tremendous role in what [who, when, where, why, and how] we do and don’t do! And some people pick up on that more than others.

The thing about having the conviction to do anything in the world to help a stranger… How much more would we be willing to risk or give up for those we love! Now think about this when we have a love that is reserved only for those… Well, those we love… When it becomes something of a private club of sorts… Well then the reverse holds true with regard to the rest of the world, the rest of life! If our love is only parceled out to a very select few… then how much “less” are we willing to do for the world around us? For a world desperately in need of all we can give? The world is slowly shriveling because man continues to take more than he gives!

Love is not something that you parcel out… You are their love completely and all peoples and all of life… Or you are fooling yourself about what you believe to be love! Conditional-love doesn’t have love in it at all -in my humble opinion.

If I was running a gambling operation – We’re coming out ahead was the name of the game. One of the things I would most definitely consider is how often the favorite fails. Then I would set the odds to make sure that when they do fail, I can make up my earnings elsewhere on the back end. The guy vets the favorite 5 times in a row and wins 4 out of 5. That means the houses out right?. No, not if you set the 5th one… The odds on the 5th one has such so that you get your money back plus a little extra to account for the other 4 wins. Betting isn’t fair, it’s all about them! Betting is one of the most ruthless and cut throat endeavors man ever invented! Sales of goods and services is a close 2nd.

One thing you can always count on is GOD looking to encourage us -not discourage! But there’s a fine line between encouraging and not perpetuating growth in a! Growth which more times than not must come from resistance instance and failure!

If man has it within his grasp or control to make millions more, do you think hes gonna let value stand in the way in this day and age?

Nobody goes in to acting or singing or business to be mediocre do they? 🤔

Clones don’t have a soul. They said you couldn’t clone a soul. A human being!

It doesn’t always work, but if you treat people right through thick and thin, you tend to touch their heart in such a way that they begin to melt.

What are the things that are present in a long term relationship that may be in abortion term relationships? Let’s face it, most of us are successful early on in

People look weird or stupid doing things in this country until we find out they’re getting paid a shitload of money to do something stupid or relationships right? But what takes place in the transition from new to ongoing? In relationships that stand the test of time? What’s the transition that short term relationships never seem to find?

People look weird or stupid doing things in this country until we find out they’re getting paid a shitload of money to do something weird or stupid? But isn’t it still weird or stupid?

You see a woman running down the street with a hatchet chasing a man and you freak out [on her], until you are told the man burned the baby!

I think Society ask too much of men and women sometimes with regard to adhering to the law!

Takes 2 minutes to brush your teeth and 8 hours for sugar to work on your teeth overnight if you don’t brush them

They adjust the rules in football to get a reasonable result.

“Talk yourself through it”.

When a human being is either open or closed-what a world of difference between the 2.

Oil glands eliminate cholesterol and artery blockage as well as keep the skin, in my case on the face calm moisturized. I guess some people don’t have this as much as others.

When you lose a bed calm and keep doubling the bed until you get your money back

Buy a candy bar for a quarter seller for 50 cents buy 2 and sell them for 50 cents and buy 4 and sell them for 50 cents Is there a wall or a ceiling here?

If you could do one thing no 1 else in the whole wide world could do 🤔

They use the same bait over and over and over again. They keep going for the physical senses!

Animosity & Affinity

The answer is: Settle in. Be yourself but never “settle for”. Be @ your best self [@ all times -never drop your guard; not even for a moment; one weak moment can destroy a lifetime of work]!

GOD always guarantees us the 🌞 coming up! What would always non essentials withhold such high regard for a word to us if the sun stopped coming up?

“It takes a lot of work to get sick just like it takes a lot of work to get well!”

You’ll never be your best self with the thoughts you have going around inside. The thoughts you allow and the thoughts you instigate!

As when 2 teams and sports come together at the top of their game having their best night all season!!!! I said earlier, “all the person can do is their part”. When 2 people come together in a relationship who are at the top of their game… When the best and when human beings comes out in a Union…. It’s something magical and startling to behold!

I think a big part of what’s lacking a proper and the greatest possible examples among human beings! How important is what we pass on to one another versus what we know instinctively or learn on our own? Are the best human beings out there a product of learning or of our own discovery?

With regard to this new relationship you are embarking on… do you know what you’re doing? How well do you know yourself? How well do you know the other person? Would you rate it at 30%? Would you rate it at 50%? 90 think is the minimal!

Maybe this relationship will last, or maybe it’s just preparing us for the next one come or maybe it’s just preparing us to go to the next level in ourown evolution spiritually! Hard truths that we should all be prepared for in any case!

GOD is not so much interested in whether we succeed outwardly as he is whether we succeed inwardly! Man on the other hand… deadlines karma quotas..

With God come a man’s best is always good enough! With this fellow man, is best to sell them good enough! On a side note…. How often does man give his very best? To God or to his fellow man!

Man the manipulatr: Just look at the words and the approaches he uses an advertising!

When things don’t go our way we either did it wrong, didn’t do our part sufficiently, or God is looking out for a! How often do we blame God [or others]? 90% of the time when in fact 90% of the time we were insufficient for derelict in our own efforts and responsibilities!

Man’s always a lookin’. Sometimes hes even looking looking. And sometimes hes lookin’ lookin’ when he shouldn’t be lookin’ lookin’!

I think the key to a long term relationship is to remain the same person you were that attracted in the 1st place-and keep on attracting! To remain the same person you were then -from there on!

We’re not paying for the energy, nor for the materials that man puts together to supply us the things we want and need… those things are God-given! What we pay for is man’s efforts to put them together and bring them to us in the form they are now in period

You can’t look at things that way! The way you always looked at them in the past!

What do unhappy and angry people tend to think about? Surely not the same thing happy, serene people think about! Everybody goes through bad times. Some more than others obviously. Some things can’t be helped -But what we focus on and how often we stay there can!

Why do we need a lawyer -DOESN’T “THE JUDGE” KNOW “THE LAW”?

Pastors who are rich. Christians who think “GOD wants the living the “good-life”. REALLY????? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK????? PICTURE JESUS OUT EVANGELISING TO THE POOR IN A GRAND-OL-CHARIOT!!!!! 🤔

When you’re in a good space, what preceded it and what is happening in that moment? When you’re in a bad space

People who DO NOT PRACTICE some degree of chastity, poverty, charity… 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Picture this -> people going to jail, people in dispute… simply telling ot like it is! You know one way of yelling people are yelling the youth? When they incriminate themselves! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Courtrooms are filled with people unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. People being misguided by their council! It takes a great deal of maturity and character to step forward and admit you’re wrong! OR is it perhaps that the consequences are too harsh? 🤔 *in courtrooms, and out in the real-world, we constantly use other people conduct -TO JUSTIFY OUR OWN!

Openess and power are the keys to the human mind and spirit!

These writings [one or another] will invariably rub just about each and every person with even “the slightest tracing of” HEDONISM EXISTING WITHIN THEM!

Just as when our own efforts [knowledge] are lacking [insufficient] in the material-world, so it is the case in spiritual-matters]. However, it is amazing that…. how long people go failing to address their spiritual wounds, injuries, limitation, shortages… We run to welfare, food-bank, emergency-room for our physical dilemmas…

Some people it’s difficult NOT TO LOOK AT! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

People are searching for answers; you give it to yhem; they don’t like it; they tell you “that’s your truth -not mine”. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

“Do you think ALL THE ANSEERS to my problems I HAVE LIKED????? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! PROBABLY NOT MOST!!!!!!

The thing you never compromise is GOD’S PRINCIPLES [values]!

When we retaliate: we give people the opportunity to justify their own conduct! When we don’t, they might even reflect on their own conduct -MAYBE!

As long as I adhere to GOD’S PRINCIPLES and not my own, and don’t drink!!!!

I think some people recognize irritating things as small and treat them as such, whereas other people do not recognize them as such or if they do, they are unable to treat them… unable or unwilling to treat them as such!

You look at the situations people walk into after the fact and you wonder why they didn’t think of that in the 1st place? Especially if they’ve been around!

Words spoken from the mouth often take but a few moments to express. The meaning behind them can often mean a lifetime of commitment and sacrifice and hard work and being vulnerable and being humbled. Man too often speaks above his abilities and his willingness. It’s only a matter of time and observation to determine whether or not what comes out of a person’s mouth is aligned with the content of their character! Thank you my GOD for answering this prayer within a matter of minutes -1 or 2, or at best 3! 🙏🏻

If you stop doing something long enough -you are no longer that thing! If you stop doing something long enough -are you no longer that thing? You are a liar and a thief and a cheat, whatever your conduct may be in the moment… eventually those behaviors will surface! If they do not, then I guess you are no longer a liar and a thief and a cheat! How can you be something if you are not producing its fruit?

—————————————————-

As you begin to work in a particular area -you begin to experience an inkling. Then it starts coming more frequently. Then it becomes something stronger. I’m beginning to feel a surge of all that life can be -if we are willing to become all we were meant to be! By the way I’m listening to silent lucidity on YouTube. “Minute into S.L. I’m thinking… I don’t know how far I am going to get on this journey; People need to see these things though; A journey of a spirit growing ever-closer to GOD; BECOMING ONE WITH GOD; A RECORD; A RECORDING OF THE INTERNAL EVENTS AND INTERNAL CHANGES; NOT UNLIKE JAQUES COUSTEAU IN A MINI-SUB UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN AT DEPTHS NEVER BEFORE ENCOUNTERED!

Thought about donating my mind to science so they could see where all this is coming from.

It dawned on me earlier in the day that too many people try to use conventional means to relate [in non-conventional relationships (soul mate stuff)] and when they fail, the relationship goes south, is considered, or rendered “a mistake”. Stop trying to use conventional means or material means or physical means with your own spiritual relationships. Feel them! Feel them! If you cannot transition with the relationships as it is evolving more and more on a spiritual level… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🙏🏻 What often happens in relationships with people run out of words. So stop relying on words! Start relying on feelings! Let your spirits begin to speak to one another! Let your spirits begin to embrace one another! God told me a long time ago that it’s the spirit we fall in love with not the person! Some people never get that!

————————————————‘—-

Some people don’t seem able to convey adequately or accurately or easily that which is on the inside outwardly! They either don’t see many of the things around them, or if they do, see I’m unable to adequately or accurately put those things in the words! I also heard many years ago that if you can put it into words -you’ve lost its meaning! But anyways, with regard to the initial point -I don’t seem to have that problem! 🤷‍♂️

You must always keep in mind that we are trying to help people! A lot of the attitudes you Andie encountered in the world are the result of people not caring with him this attitude out there front door! In addition, or rather…. as a consequence… an attitude of helping, showing concern for others others -will in turn help to calm the attitude that is becoming increasingly prevalent out in the world today!

You may hurt me; but you only harm yourself in doing so! And offend GOD worst of all!

Remember where you come from and remember your history!

MAGGIE Girl at the music bookstore. Half these people don’t know what great is. They see it on TV and realize how s***** their own lives are. Then somebody walks into their store and represent something beautiful I don’t know what the f*** to do with it. It’s not you it’s them! You’ve been subject to the scene for years in this town. Some women can’t stand men who are more eloquent than they are [beautiful] remember. Maggie sees you for who you are and she doesn’t have any hang-ups about it! So start getting used to it! You told her earlier in the kitchen that you were practicing listening more and talking less because it’s safer. She responded by saying safer for who? You responded by saying safer for me. Oftentimes I don’t get very good reactions from people when I talk too much. Her response, I love listening to you talk. That’s what this town is good for, destroying everybody’s self worth and self image! When they see something beautiful, it’s so disrupts their own worthlessness that they want you to feel like the ugly duckling just like they do! That’s the Mexican way come and anybody who makes you feel a nip through it right back at him! Even if they just walk in the room and happen to look that much better and to make you feel small by being in the same room.. That’s the Mexican macho way! Extremely childish!

“Remember your place, Sir!”

Too many things to remember? Pick a couple and -HANG ON!

By worrying about such things; you wound the very thing you hope would remain in tact [your spiritual purity]! It’s a tricky thing ~being caught between life [reality out there: games people play; harshness and cruelty…] and ourselves [the constant battle over what we perceive ourselves to be versus what others perceive, or would have us be]~ 🤷‍♂️

The mistake many of us make is when we don’t have to work too hard for a relationship [the one or one’s that seem to be falling into place naturally]; we then have a tendency “not to work too hard for ‘that’ relationship”! The relationships that were perhaps “doomed to fail from the start” were the relationships I put the most effort into! Understand? ALL RELATIONSHIPS require constant care, and nurturing! Trying to glide or skate-by always catches up with us!

GOD seems to be guiding me irrespective of a world I so long to be apart of; accepted by!

“There is only so much of us to go around -or is there?” 🤔 Some men, and some women certainly seem to get around more than others!

It’s simple but not easy. So, does that mean something things are complicated, but easy?

Why do so many beautiful people gravitate to powerful people?

It’s not just how we act or our frame of mind rather. When we’re loaded with spirituality we emanate that outwardly. We’re not we don’t! Most people love the experience of spirituality emanating from those around them! 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻🤷‍♀️

My processor’s way too small for my… Amount of memory!

I feel weak spiritually!

When a human-being feels “small”, our tendency, quite often, is to GO/GET BIG! The complete opposite of “the right move”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🙏🏻

It’s about the kindness, not the credit -except when WE give it to “HIM”!

Even an unattractive person gains some degree of attractiveness by dressing well!

“PLEASE GOD HELP ME TO ACCEPT YOUR WISDOM REGARDING MY CHILDHOOD! AND HELP ME TO REMAIN EVER-SMALL!”

When we are smaller than “ut” 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 When we are bigger than “it” 👎👎👎[we begin to feel… and we sense “we’re off” somewhere, somehow]!

Anyone in here think they can see into the future better than GOD? Anyone think they can see into another man’s ❤ 💙 💜 better than GOD can?

We hear sanity largely, in the rooms of AA!

Does GOD MAKE UGLY PEOPLE? We only this much: For everything, GOD has a reason!

Everything has an angle to try and cater to or to manipulate the opinion of the public or opposite. Something happens to a woman we got a woman reporter. Something happens to a black man with a white police officer and we have a black reporter woman. Where does it end? It’s not just what these people are doing but it’s the attitude of the public that’s also the issue. They react to these sort of things. Why else would the authorities be doing it to? What else would the news be doing it?

How can a person gain confidence from doing the right thing -when failure is the repeated outcome? I’m speaking of my dealings with people in this local area. How can I gain any self worththless positive image of myself when things continue to fail?

IN DOING THE “RIGHT-THINGS”, we systematically “GIVE SOME THINGS UP”! But we gain so much more! But not in our minds if our priorities are skewed, or twisted! Man is there now in this country!

Has the news, law enforcement, politicking, Doctoring…. all become BIG-BUSINESS??? It just cannot work that way!!!!! We investigate someone famous, it’s opportunity!!!!! Really???? Capitalizing on others misfortune!!!! This, along with 25٪ interest-rates used to be wrong!!!! GEEEZZZZ Becoming famous by reporting, or prosecuting, or even arresting someone famous, or infamous!

What happens when instinct goes in one direction and character goes in another?

People have no idea the value of asking God… when 90% of the population cannot ask because of pride… those that do… mean the world to him and he will not fail them!

Some men are constantly in the red and some men are so far into the green that they can take a woman… they have so much wiggle room as far as love, patience…Some people have enough talent for ten people!

Why bring each other down?????

If you keep doing what you did before -you’ll keep getting what you got before! And we all know if you keep making poor-decisions -you’re going to keep getting poor-results. But where I get a little confused is where man is making good-decisions -is getting good-results -and then and then resorts, or reverts, to making poor-choices [once again]! 🤷‍♂️🤔🤷‍♀️ [ebb and flow of man’s divinity along with his fallen-nature?]

Desperation and haste are the enemy of those in business! In addition, just look at people swarming to pawn shops -and desperate for loans.

When man really wants to get on top of something -he can and does! You can’t use money in replacement of love because it’s too finite! Love is inexhaustible for a reason, and money finite for a reason! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Man picks and chooses where he puts his efforts, and his resources -and doesn’t always xhoose wisely. And often does so at his own whim or to soothe his own conscience or to bolster his own ego rather than addressing the actual issues that should be of the highest priorities in precise order!

It’s not who you are willing or able to be in a relationship short term but who you are willing or able to be in a relationship long term! I know it’s a tricky situation but… Being who you’re not in a relationship early on just to cement the foundation really isn’t a very good idea no unfortunately the people across from you are relying on that as well when they shouldn’t. It’s why women so often get taken in by man and it’s why so often con-artists [and Politicians] are able to con. For now it’s just an ongoing part of the human reality. Getting back to the real issue here -Decide early on who is the person you are going to be for the long term -so that the other person can decide sooner rather than later whether it is or isn’t going to work for them. This requires a lot of strength and maturity and soundness of mind to risk more often than not losing the other person. Losing the other person before things even get started perhaps. But isn’t that better than months or years of heartache and wasting each other’s time? And perhaps even guilty feelings over having lied, or manipulated the people we presumably care about enough to want to spend the rest of our lives with?

The problems this country and its people are facing cannot be fixed by a politician, they need to be fixed by us the American people! But most Americans are both tired and ignorant of the solutions, if not the problems themselves in certain circles! Sadly, much of this is being done deliberately to keep people from stepping forward and causing the authorities in charge to stop fooling around childishly and maliciously and start addressing things by doing their jobs! Man the great manipulator! When hes not the great self indulgent!

Animals rely on the laws of nature to survive -and rightly so as we’re dained or deemed by GOD! Man on the other hand often tries to circumvent these natural laws because he either wants something else or something more or more of something [or less in regards to consequencrs]* than GOD and his laws naturally dictate. Or as usual, he tries to find the easier softer way!

*I suppose animals do the same thing -to an extent.

“I think I’m the sanest man I know honestly lol -maybe that’s ‘the problem”… what’s driving me insane” LMAO

I now recall that there were some tests done on the power of prayer at a rather prestigious University in our country some years back. Any idea what the results were?

Ever do something for the 1st time with the feeling that it’s going to be very easy and that you are filled with confidence? Ever gi into a situation feeling just the opposite? Can you recall any instances where you were wrong in both cases?

I don’t think people are able to accurately recognize where the line is or should be, as far as protecting ourselves from the outside world and how it damages other people in the process -whereas putting that line a little less conservatively, will allow others to recognize that the world is not such a selfish, or bad place after all!

Intimacy is a need while sex may not be as much so. I always said that if we deprive people in prison of their basic needs in a healthy way, they will meet them in an unhealthy way! Then it becomes the system that is propagating “the issues”. We force people into… we create an environment whereby “if a person cannot meet their needs in a healthy way… they will inadvertently meet them in an unhealthy way. People eating out of garbage cans or people meeting their intimate and sexual needs out in the world today in an unhealthy way because society in general so unwilling to trust -and hence, let one another get close to each other.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing to be opening up your partner’s eyes too much-certainly it’s not a good idea to try and take the place of God and opening up your partner’s eyes! Sometimes opening up someone’s eyes can cause them to think things and do things that negate from God plan, ultimate plan! Sometimes we can get people to thinking about things and yours and there’s relationships that they have no business thinking about! Awareness is planned there by satan and not by God! However reasonable… The reasoning may appear at a glance or on the surface! Do you think it was reasonable to take a bite out of the Apple from the tree of knowledge? We all know what that got us!

God takes into account all things with regard to each and every individual! Man on the other hand, is not only unable but oftentimes unwilling to do the same!

It used to be a dime difference for supreme versus regular unleaded now it’s 54 cents

The more humble you become, the more amazed, and dumbfounded people will be at the things you are willing to do!

You would amazed at how many problems, would disappear and long dormant things of beauty would appear if the world suddenly became interested in giving instead of taking!

Relationships to me, aside from growth and self discovery…. Are about 2 people building each other up in the areas where we ourselves cannot! Happy, Special, Valued, Loved as well!

One of the biggest problems in American society is that people don’t know how to treat a person who is handing, who is placing their heart in their hand so fragile and wounded and sensitive. When we make ourselves vulnerable to someone else… It’s a major turning point!

Why doesn’t GOD guide each broken person to the perfect person for them in any given moment?

I think, not only does a person have to have e certain level of anger, but something else! Something else in order to be a murderer or harm someone severely. I think at 1 point in my life I had the anger but not the other.

It’s easier to ask saying when you are saying! It’s easier not to act angry when you’re not angry! I tried covering up or squelching my anger for many years without success. It wasn’t until I was largely rid of it that I did!

Do pedophiles and ax murderers need love any less than you or I do?

If I don’t stay spiritually fit I tend to revert back to pushing people away, and throwing people off! Which tells me that those old coping mechanisms are still very much there -albeit dormant! True recovery means the elimination of them? Why haven’t it attained that level of recovery apparently!

Why would anyone want someone who doesn’t want them? Some people are just made that way I suppose. Some people don’t care how the other person feels.

FACEBOOK Look at the “bright-side” –Not having anything to talk about isn’t such a bad thing. Some people resort to “constant complaining”, while others resort to “constantly talking about themselves”. 🤔

FACEBOOK To the extent we tell the truth; and to the extent we do the right thing; in the face of adversity, danger, our own fears, our own egos… We allow GOD’S outcomes [and not ours, and not satan’s] to unfold in “OUR WORLD”! Threats of personal and material losses…even threats to health, and to bodily harm… You see the operative principle in many of the aforementioned are Courage! Selflessness! Humility! Combating evil! Dignity and self respect! Love for one’s self, one’s fellow man, for God! ONE’S WILL TO PLEASE GOD SHOULD NEVER BE OVERLOOKED, NOR TAKEN LIGHTLY!!!!

FACEBOOK When we say to ourselves “that isn’t fair” do you suppose that’s JESUS talking, GOD talking, or satan talking? When that little voice inside says “that’s not right”, is that JESUS talking, GOD talking, or satan talking? What is the outcome when we act upon these thoughts? When we say “that isn’t fair” are we not usually talking about our own self-interest -“Where’s mine?” “What about me?” When we say “that’s not right” -are we speaking to our own plan [what brand (nature or quality) of harmony or discord do our choices tend to bring about?], or GOD and HIS? Should we speak up [even when doing GOD’S work], or simply remain silent with regard to a higher plan or purpose which lay ahead [you can bet JESUS didn’t speak up for every injustice that crossed HIS path, or came crashing down on HIS BACK literally -HE was likely focused more on a “HIGHER PURPOSE” overall (as should we be also)] -and in which only GOD knows! NOW ABOUT Harmony and/or Discord? You say JESUS created discord HIMSELF! It’s right to create discord when it serves GOD’S purpose (and timing). And anything that creates harmony outside of GOD’S purpose is no harmony at all! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

FACEBOOK A man who has made little-to-no-impression -or a bad one, is soon forgotten in the mind of a woman. A man who makes the greatest of impressions, however brief, can remain on her mind, and in her heart for a lifetime…!

FACEBOOK When we can say to ourselves “even if what satan is telling me is true, I’m going to hold firm to GOD’S -principle’s anyways” GOD’S WILL FOR US, FOR HIS PLAN “IS THEN” ASSURED” [and satan’s isn’t]! Men before me are fully aware of the power that exists behind “the taking of this position” along with it’s “rarity amongst man”! Man is often easily derailed by both “life and lies” -particularly with regards to… 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

FACEBOOK There’s a world of difference between trying to be humorous or cute -when one is “spiritually unfit” versus “spiritually fit”!

Participating in life can be very cool. Playing out certain things in life can be really cool -life is something of a play correct? But when you try to break down the play or the script, people can often times start looking at us with rather strange looks on their faces.

FACEBOOK Love is being happy for people in whom good fortune befalls. Not being jealous or hateful about it! When we love everyone, this tendency vanishes! When we don’t love people, the aforementioned tendencies surface.

FACEBOOK All we can do – In any given situation is what GOD asks of us. That goes double for relationships! We don’t ask or expect anything of things; but when it comes to people, it’s a completely different situation to us. Actually, we should ask more of things than of people -because things guided by the laws of GOD -are more reliable and predictable [because they obey]. I think where alot of people mess up is… [it would actually be refreshing if we wanted other people to act the way GOD would want them to act as well] that many of us are more interested in having people act the way we would have them. 😔 And that just doesn’t work!

If I could humble myself it would be an eagle feeding proposition.

We learned at a very early age for example that a certain height that we fall from will or will not result in harm. Why couldn’t we learn early on about the true face of alcoholisminute diction like we learned about so many other things at an early age?

If omebody paid you a million dollars to jump off the 1st national bank tower would you do it? Why not? Exactly calm because you wouldn’t live to spend the money!

The measure of mankind: Embracing the twisted and deformed and malformed and defunct! Have we accomplished this?

Making a camera from cyberware! Making anything from a few basic… [non-physical…?]

As time goes on the list for fetched man’s ideas appear! Technology begins to evolve calm of the less far fetched man’s ideas appear.As we rely more and more on technology and less and less on principles, the more far fetched man’s ideas become!

One company gets strong and buys out its competitor-for what? To be king!

Companies grow from the business of the public, then they turn around and start taking away all of the perks they initially offered us to get there. Does that make a lot of sense? Don’t give me any of that business -it’s just business c***! When somebody helps you to grow you don’t screw them!

Some people can tell sizes accurately with prospective in relation to other sizes that would normally throw the ordinary person off! Distances, heights… tell me “there’s no GOD”.

Not everything is drudgery or trudgury in the spiritual Realm! Like for instance, they tell us that shame and guilt make us less useful, and should therefore “be abandoned”!

When a woman isn’t interested in you [a man who indicates he is], or is uncomfortable around you, she tends to get an attitude. When a woman is interested in a man who shows no interest in her, she tends to get an attitude. True or false -atleast some of the time?

When a person has been shattered and GOD puts them back together.. Ever see those glasses with the real cool metal like stained glass used to put a glass or a cut back together? People can get pretty creative as well! But not as creative as GOD I’m guessing!

This morning I had this thought “this is challenging”. Then another voice said “Are you up for the challenge?” But like challenging me.

What it comes down to as many people as they simply “want to be stimulated”.

Just the right sorts of traumatic events at just the right point in your pets development can produce startling -and even amazing character traits! But someone astute, watchful, patient… 🤷‍♂️

GOD, I don’t think holds it against us -when we want the best for our loved ones however short sighted our intentions.

GOD doesn’t need our prayers -we need our prayers!

Alcoholics Anonymous is a spiritual program that has been proven to work! But if it is a spiritual program -then we must have a spirit! And if we have a spirit -then there must be a GOD that created it! 🤔💡

An important factor or character trade in relationships is getting over things quickly.

Trust is a marvelous antidote for satan’s wiles! He constantly uses truth and wise to goad us! –Even if it happened to be true.. If you discovered it and did more harm than good… then would it really be good to know in the 1st place? Why go to such lengths to find out the truth -with the intention of getting even or harming someone? Doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it!

Oftentimes your response or approach will be the same regardless of the situation! If your wife is a good wife you treat her with respect and kindness and love. If your wife cheats on you you treat her with respect and kindness and love! It plays to who we are versus what the world would provoke us into being or acting like. Jesus never stopped being Jesus for 1 second of his entire life! How many times have we stopped being ourselves 4 far longer!

You did the same thing with those 2 counselors at Z recovery as they did with you with whoever told them what they told them…

If you don’t fight back, they’ll never know whether they can actually beat you are not! Whether they’re better than you or not! Isn’t that the worst thing of all if somebody’s got the character to recognize that!

Some people are here to be served; most to serve. You find out pretty early on, which you have been “brought here for”! When WE recognize our place, and follow thru on it, it saves us, and others, alot of problems! For the longest time… “I”… refused to accept “my place”. Still not entirely sure about it 🤔 Alot of things are neither here-nor-there with GOD; and alot of things we value “more-than-others” GOD sees [deems] as “less-than-others”! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Would you really trade places with that person you’re envious of? Because that’s really what envy is ultimately-bad… It doesn’t make a lot of sense just to pick and choose a micro-aspect of somebody’s life and compare it to your whole life. Compare your whole life to their whole life and then see if you feel the same way! When you do it this way -it takes the sting out of satan’s manipulation and lies! Remember, everything satan does is designed to kill, steal, destroy! And he will even spread goodness [initially]; in order to achieve “that ‘ultimate’ end”! Tricky! Tricky! GOD can see right through it -but man??? 🤔 Unless a man “is not looking”;which even the most innocent of men [not spiritual -for that would mean “prepared”] can have “aroused in them” “visions of pomp and grandeur”!

People occupy many positions in life -many of them unqualified! “Professional “Job-getters!”

My password is “What was that?” Or “Pardon me?” Or “Come-again?” Or “Say-again?” 😆

“What’s the “kindest-thought” you can think of?”

“”Shock” is just one way GOD shows [HIS] “mercy” to nature!”

People [on this country] get so confused between what they think they want; what they want; what they think they need; what they [truly] need -NOT GOOD!

“PRAY TO HAVE ‘ALL’ ANIMOSITY REMOVED!” ANIMOSITY, LIKE SUCH THINGS AS ‘ALCOHOL’ IS/ARE NOT ‘OUR FRIEND’!”

Isn’t sex wonderful when there’s no baggage between the 2 of you? Maybe that’s truly what’s so wonderful about it the 1st 2nd and 3rd times…

Some people are nicer to people who are strangers than they are to those who are closest to them. Too possible reasons: 1) baggage, unresolved fear [anger] or resentment; 2) fear of intimacy.

There are plenty of strong people in the world -but what the world needs now more than ever -is strong, caring people!

When people do for each other -it’s a sign!!!!!!!! Of character, of Love, of GOD in them!

Just do a little bit every day in the house or apartment and rotate as far as cleaning go. Why spend 6 hours on a Saturday

It’s better to do the right thing and get chewed out or confront it or embarrassed then it is to do the wrong thing and get chewed out or confronted or embarrassed.

GOD either gives us the power to do to something specifically. Or he gives us general power to use as we see fit.. Man’s got to have power in order to learn and grow…. In order to fight off evil… To exert his free will!. To think of and help is fellow man! To choose an act upon evil if hes so desires!

Humans can be extraordinarily powerful with one another. The traits. The principles. The abilities. The help. The drive.

Relationships can be very powerful but also be a very precise balancing-act! The higher the quality, the more precision is required I believe.

Where man goes wrong is expecting GOD to do what he [man] thinks is best for him [man]!

Once a person has developed their ability to be worst of people…. Then the best of people comes all the more easy!

If you give too much in a relationship you could be replacing their initial reason for being in it in the 1st place!

Which would you choose, GOD’S-way -however difficult; or your way‐ however easy? Let’s just think about tha; GOD’S way however difficult -is always the best way!t Man’s way, however easy -seldom is!

Think about credit card! I had a credit card and I paid it off. It might have even been no interest or low interest. They gave me more credit. Did they give it to me because they were grateful or did they give it to me so I can get an even deeper debt in the hopes that they will somehow make their money back for the 1st loan that was low interest or no interest? What do you think companies are about? It’s hard to tell which ones care about people in which ones are business as usual! This much I do know… Many people struggle to pay off their credit card debt -or simply make their payment! Some people are making a living off of this while others are getting rich! But doesn’t anyone see anything wrong with this? You can’t tell me that GOD, benign GOD and creator of the universe -did not weave into the fabric of it all away for so many people to make a living other than exploiting one another!

If you want to rid yourself of even the slightest possibility of doing harm to your relationships, the way of doing so which yields the highest [greatest] possibility for success is: to rid from within yourself anything potentially harmful to your relationships!

Why would you want anyone” who can treat “the one you love” better than anyone else -not to be “the one” apart of their life?

“Why would you not want “the one”, who can treat “the one you love”, better than anyone else, to be “the one apart of” their life?” 🤷‍♀️❤🤷‍♂️

I am confident I can protect myself in:

Once you have been around open people, you can begin to recognize just how closed certain people are! You may have to experience people who are open in various areas in order to recognize close people in respective areas!

Repression sometimes results in expression later on! Extraordinary expression in fact!
