Sometimes, the difference between willingness and unwillingness can be a moment versus a lifetime [of pain, of growth, of freedom versus bondage]! RE: “I don’t know why change in so many areas of my life have come so slowly; even backwards in some instances, or so it seems”.

Sure, we can always take greater measures to ensure our safety, too, ensure profit margins are at their highest. But at some point what does life begin to look like, begin to shrivel down to? Freedom means two things which are often at odds with one another:

1. There will always be a certain amount of risk where freedom is involved. To eliminate that risk is to eliminate our freedoms;

2. That is why it is so important that responsibility and competence, as opposed to recklessness and selfishness, go hand-in-hand with freedom; otherwise, not only will our freedoms be put at risk legitimately; but it opens up a window of opportunity for those seeking advantage (over others among other things)! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The song “We Are the World”, while intended for all profits to go to the needy in Africa – The bigger message was for all of us to give, to think of our fellow suffering man. HAVE WE?

Many people have no concept of sacrificing external beauty for internal beauty. Or, better yet, for their own spiritual enlightenment. You see these young guys, money, power, and they go for all it will get them! Same pattern one generation to the next! Gets old!

If your into “real” no one can take you there like GOD can -HE’S GREAT!

To treat people better than they have treated you -IS GODLY!

To place people g reater in importance than your material possessions -IS GODLY!

The name of the game and man’s world is come out on top; And for those of us who are less ambitious, don’t end up on the bottom. Let’s face it, when when we make a wrong move or a bad choice, and the shit comes tumbling down, what’s the 1st thing we try and do -damage control, manage things… And if that doesn’t work what’s the next thing, Who’s gonna take the fall in our place, or do we need to blame, neutralize, eliminate? And when faced with severe punishment via the legal system for example, Do you ever hear a lawyer telling their client “OK do you wanna come clean or do you want to try and avoid responsibility?” It seems almost automatic that the legal system wants to try and get you out of it whether you’re guilty or not. I’m assuming that the legal system assumes most people do not want to take responsibility for their actions. Or that the accused assumes that the punishment is too harsh. Most people, no matter how bad the crime, we’ll say that probation is appropriate. Hey, I’m just thinking out loud here. So what’s my point? Well go back to the opening lines of this post. Then from there we can proceed towards… For most people the willingness to accept responsibility, to do the right thing, to make living with one’s self and honorably so -DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A GAME PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PLAY! IT’S NO FUN -IT’S THE WRONG SORT OF CHALLENGE -THERE’S NO UPSIDE IN THEIR PLAYBOOK! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

There’s one thing in this world that we human beings should get right – The one thing that would just impress the hell out of God, scared the hell out of satan, and sweep across this globe and make all things new -WHAT WOULD THAT BE? I’ll tell you what I think it is:

ENOUGH OF THE GAMES -AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM OUT THERE BEING PLAYED! ENOUGH OF THE GAMES! SET ASIDE OUR DIFFERENCES; SET ASIDE OUR TRIVIAL WANTS AND TRUMPED UP NEEDS; FORGET ABOUT ALL THE SUBSTITUTIONS FOR WHAT WE REALLY; STOP PASSING ON THE SPIRITUAL DISEASES FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION WHICH FEED OUR SENSE OF UNWORTHINESS AND OUR NEED TO SEEK AN ADVANTAGE OVER EACH OTHER; AND LET’S START MAKING ONE ANOTHER OUR GREATEST PRIORITY!!!!!

Don’t assume that what’s a comfortable temperature for you and your car is a comfortable temperature for your pet!

Many of us pick out a gift for someone else based upon our own preferences or like his preferences or likings. Believe it or not, sometimes what we don’t like is precisely the perfect gift for someone else. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

I like to read the commentaries on YouTube when listening to songs from the seventies and eighties. Quite often people say they miss those times. Oftentimes they will make such a statement comparatively to current times it seems.

1. You don’t [quite often] know truly the value of something until you stepped out of it and into something else.

2. For whatever reason, your times do not sit right with ensuing generations so they create their own which in effect leaves us quite possibly longing to go back to our own time period. Will the same thing happen to people now, later on in the future?

3. How can we maintain those happy times with so much change going on? You cannot have things remained the same and have changed at the same time. The problem is, every ensuing generation these days wants to experience something [just a bit] different from the previous one – So how can we, the current generation soon to be the previous generation, chikama maintain what we experienced -that of the most memorable times of our lives? How can we convince ensuing generations that they too will become the victims of… and therefore, put a stop to this trend by they-themselves…* 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷‍♂️🙏🏻

Some people can keep an entire film library in the 4 front of their minds. Some people, like myself can only seem to fit a frame at a time in there. Can you imagine if I could keep the entirety of these writings in the forefront of my mind at 1 time? Operating from moment to moment selectively from this library. But I just can’t do it 🤷‍♂️

They say you can’t rape the willing. Therefore, can you punish someone by killing them when death is what they yearn for?

*There are some people however, they seem they seem to adapt to all times past and present and present and ensuing. They seem to adapt to the changing times, the changing music…

There’s 2 kinds of people in the world:

1.Masters

2.Slaves

And those of us in between

Thieves are busy ripping us off. How would it be if they not only didn’t get what they were after, but ended up suffering a loss?

If you put your eggs in a basket that has holes in it, or worse yet rocks, you’re always gonna be disappointed be disappointed and thus unhappy. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️

When other things begin to overshadow our competence; hatred, fear, desire, sensuality… IT’S TIME TO…

Ignorance, while perhaps excusable, is nonetheless subject to the physical laws of cause-and-effect, although unlikely with regard to spiritual one’s! 🤔

There’s 2 kinds of people in the world), possibly three:

1. People for whom the most prized things in life are a struggle, if not impossible to attain;

2. People wherein the most prized things in life appear to be drawn to them;

3. People for whom the most prized things in life are a mere trifle.

“IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?” Line from “The Exorcist III”.

I just thought of something -or remembered it: lol

“Jesus spent the first 30 years of HIS life approximately, preparing for the final 3 -HIS missionary life evangelizing.”

From the very first time these writings began to be revealed to me via moments of “surreal clarity” in I believe the fall of 1991 🤔 (some months after I started my second semester at State January 1991) to the time I started adding posts to the website July 6, 2021 (I remember standing in line at the Smith’s grocery store looking at the magazines on the shelf between the lines at the registers when all of a sudden, everything I looked at revealed some metaphor. 7, 8, 9 in the course of only a few minutes. 3? 4? As I recall, the weather was pleasant, fresh -not hot, hot. So it had to be late spring, early to mid-fall. Anyways, right at about 30 years -GOD thinks about things like this you know. And unlike many of us in our thinking -IF IT AIN’T BROKE; WHY FIX IT? IF IT WORKED BEFORE; WHY NOT TRY IT AGAIN! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🙏🏻

Sign on the door as Recording 🎨 Artists were entering the studio to record the song “We Are the World”:

“PLEASE CHECK YOUR EGOS AT THE DOOR.”

Many women love an adventurous man.

You just take it nice and easy!

Some people spend their entire lives trying to (re)discover who they are -and with varying success I might add.

There are people out there who can read something online; but are unable to make heads or tails of it.

There are people out there who can read something online; and do marvelous things with it.

The true masters, are not only capable of reading something online; and doing marvelous things with it; they have the ability to edit what has been written! I believe Tesla was one of these individuals who could go a step beyond even the most genius of our kind. Kind of like my ability to sign in and edit these posts. But they could do it with the principles of the universe.*

*not to imply they changed the laws; but to imply they took one step further regarding their utilization which opens up a whole other world of possibilities 🤔 😉 😏 🤣 😜 😄

We don’t have to like the way things are down here on Earth, the realities of it all, the realities we strive so hard to forget or to pretend otherwise…. We just have to deal with them! I don’t know about you, but the reality is I really don’t like what I’ve had to contend with down here on Earth. Many, many things irk me to no end.

I think I’m one of those “tormented souls”.

If you’ve never watched the video “We Are the World” on YouTube -IT’S EXTREMELY HEART-WARMING AND POWERFUL!

I was watching a movie today called “North to Alaska” starring John Wayne, Stewart Granger, and Capucine. I take a personal interest in reading about various celebrities. Earlier this evening I decided to familiarize myself with this actress known as “Capucine”. Very, very beautiful woman. I was very sad when I read about her death -It put me in an odd mood which is not all that rare for me but… I was both shaken and saddened. You see, I find myself in a similar circumstance; for how long I know not. I find myself living somewhat of a life of a recluse with increasing periods it seems, where I do not leave the apartment. It frightened me! It made me think about God’s plan. It made me think about so many people alone in the world who do not wish to be. It made me question for a moment whether God’s plan is so important that it should overshadow the pain of this sort of loneliness, emptiness, separation? It made me ask the question, “What about what we want?” Of course the world itself plays a part in this as well. I don’t choose to live this way strictly by choice. It seems to me there’s no place in the world for me. I believe the world has a certain code that one chooses to live by or not; that one is capable of living by or not. I understand very well the torment of:

• Being a particular type of person in order to fit into the world;

• Having an irresistible or uncontrollable urge to defy that law;

• Coming to the realization that even on your best day -you could not pull it off (make it work) even if you wanted to [BECAUSE THERE’S JUST SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU]! 😔
