Your Assignment (If You Choose to Take It)

Welcome to Earth

Life 101:  Problems, fears, coping, overcoming, hopes, successes, obstacles, addictions, challenges, failures.  We're all on a grueling trip down here and we better learn how to make the best of it.  The first thing I would encourage each of us is to embrace our humanity and cherish each and every day because we never know when it will be our last day on planet earth.     

Our learning has to do with #1:  Coming to grips with our strengths and weaknesses.  #2:  Empowering our strengths and overcoming our weaknesses.  #3:  Karma and making amends for past injustices; #4:  Learning about love and humility and patience in order to serve others.  #5:  Defining ourselves (who we are and who we want to be).  But, make no mistake , this journey we're on is fraught with peril and danger.

We start out innocent babes and gradually grow up with all we need to make it through life.  Or, on the other hand are unfortunate to be immediately handicapped with no support from anyone.  Instead of becoming who and what we are we now find ourselves victims of sexual abuse, drug overdoses, bullying, senseless violence.  Isn't this fact pretty evident that we better get a grip on what we want to do with our lives early on before we're sucked into the evil that constantly surrounds us?  How many of us have been mentored by someone who truly cares about us and where we're heading?  There are responsible parents and school teachers, clergy and inspirational speakers helping us along our way but for the vast majority many more are sidetracked by evil and swoon to vices that eventually strangle anything good and decent inside them.  Instead of growing inward and upward they start to shrivel up, drop off the radar or, just drop dead.  What this world sorely needs is a spiritual leader who can bring all of us together.  A person who can inspire and motivate us, emphasizing our beautiful humanity, our oneness, our connection to each other thus bringing all of us under one  cosmic umbrella of consciousness.  A being who has been to earth a thousand times before, learning to become the G-d filled mentor humanity so urgently needs ~ a Peace Maker.

The World is Not Enough

It's time for prayer.  Prayer is going to be our sustaining help and guide through the hazardous times we're in and the hazardous times ahead.  There are many signs giving us clues as to trouble spots.  One is North Korea and a cruel dictator whose sole mission in life is to forcibly subjugate its people and nuke somebody; ISIS - that has now proclaimed that pretty much all of us are fair game as it engages in a world wide war of exterminating any and all who do not believe in its terrorist ideology;  impaired politicians and Hollywood stars who bemoan the fact that we need to coexist with one another (duh! even though there are those who don't want to coexist but only exterminate).  It's our fault.  History has taught us time and time again that you cannot live with a cold-blooded killer.  If you look closely at the news you can see where a great deal of the problem lies.  The left wing ideology is one of complete tolerance as long as it concerns one of their own but deception, fraud and lies against an opponent.  We have seen on too many sad occasions that the world cannot sustain itself on only half truths or no truth.  The news media is much to blame for causing the growing chaos divide and confusion in the world.  When I am allowed to  clearly see someone trying to make the world a better place, one who steadfastly refuses to give rise to and exalt hatred and violence, then he or she is the good guy.  When I see someone who constantly and wrongly accuses, using disinformation or no information and engaging in stirring up trouble, then he or she is the bad guy.  Too many world leaders and governments have let us down.   And too many of them have ignored warning signs that create rogue nations and terrorist groups.  Is this being done on purpose?  I bet we'd be surprised at the truth behind this question.  So, we've determined we can't rely on those who are in positions to protect us so what's the solution?  --We need to insert ourselves into the conversation, engaging in the serious matters that will ultimately shape our destinies, learning how to protect ourselves, our families, our way of life.  No one, no one is going to do this for us but us.

Prince - Movie clip (from purple rain)

In Due Time

~And the rose unfolds in due time~ 
Have you noticed how long it takes to get to know something of yourself?  You work tirelessly trying to figure something out about why you did this but didn't do that.  Then, a light bulb turns on.   You're now experiencing an awareness of self you never had before.  You never gave your life a second thought to the hows and why or how beautiful and intricately complex it is but trudged through life thinking of yourself as a thin sheet of veneer or a cardboard cutout.  Only one layer of existence.  You would always react this way but not that way.  But now you just learned there's a lot more to you than you thought.  In fact you just tapped into something that showed you that there are many different levels of consciousness.  Human beings are comprised of layers.  We find accessing our inner selves hard to impossible.  In order to achieve this we must first have the desire to do so and then work toward it.  Meditation, prayer, good counsel and yes, life experiences, whether good or bad will help us along this personal journey of discovery.  The first level of consciousness we will experience is   Level 1, Awareness.  (You must first be aware of something before you can make contact with it) Then comes Level 2, Contact.  Finally, Level 3, Understanding.  This process of learning to know oneself could take several years to a lifetime.  We may work hard toward this goal but are unsure if we'll even make it.  Then when all hope is lost the universe steps in and rewards us with exactly what we desired to know.  How many layers do we have?  I don't know but based on my own personal experience, there are many.    Of course we all have free will in which we can work toward this level of understanding or don't care to.  But what a human tragedy, what a terrible waste of a human being that it exists only to exist and knows nothing else.

Deceived


I’m going to my happy place
It’s calling me right now
I’m going to my happy place
Where I can go and plan my escape
The world is convulsing
Turning upside down
It’s afoul with hate and fear
A place of dread
In fear we tread
Children tortured
Babies butchered
Innocents slaughtered
The rest of us monitored
What kind of place is this?
I keep preaching hope and love
I’ve been deceived
It’s hate and greed
And it fits just like a glove

Bird on a Wire

I am folding in on myself,
    drawing all four corners over me
Like a heavy blanket
I have become numb to the world
     of wishes and desires
They hold no meaning, anymore
They're all lies and empty gestures anyway
We’re all in a numbed and false dream state
Down here
Standing like good little soldiers,
All in a row
We believe in hope but are rewarded with false  promises
We bow to fake gods and fake goddesses 
In a fiery effort to consume ourselves
One moment my day was sunny and bright
Then bitter cold
The temperature plummeted
There was no time
To fly away and hide
My fate was sealed 
Flash frozen in place on a high wire
The people will come by the hundreds  
To watch 
They will mill around, feasting on popcorn and
     drinking soda
Talking on their cell phones and taking pictures
No one will bother to take me down
The thought will never occur to them
They are just robots
They will wonder, “how come, what happened?”
But I know the truth,
All words, 
     Empty words, hollow words

Pitch Black

This world we inhabit was constructed thus so:  by malevolent entities who were tasked to do so and who labored over this behemoth of a project for millions of years.   The construct to be engineered was to sit atop a foundation with four walls, one entrance door, one exit door, a roof but no windows.  The two doors would allow for those entities to enter who had been previously screened and accepted and the back door was for those who managed to get inside with credentials that looked good at first glance but then were found to be lacking.  They would be whisked away never to be seen from or heard from, again.  The world these dark and evil visionaries envisioned and would inhabit would be conceived undercover and in total darkness as this was where they would do all their dirty work.  The reason for no windows was there was no light to shine on their dirty work thus exposing them so no need for any windows.  It was only after the foundation was laid and the rest of the work completed did they become aware that something was very wrong in their calculations.  Once the error was discovered they tried their best to hide it because they figured if they were the only ones who knew, why bother broadcasting it let alone fixing it?  But, to their dismay they were immediately found out, rounded up and hauled off to the boss' office.  He wasted no time in humiliating and excoriating them as to what the hell happened as they had been given specific oral and written instructions as to how the whole thing was to be put together.  After a sound drubbing they were escorted out of the room and back to work to fix it.  What to do?  Admit they had made a mistake?  Admit they had screwed up?  No, they couldn't do this as  bloated egos and their monstrous prides would not allow.  The flaw?  --darkness is an absence of light yet, within the confines of the universe it is well known that you cannot have one without the other.  How could they have missed this?  Maybe it had to do with the fact that they were so impressed with themselves that they could do no wrong or that they had devious things to do undercover or, the embarrassingly yet obvious and very painful fact that when one's ego is exposed to the light any faults are laid bare and thus, have to be dealt with.  They consulted briefly with one another and lamented as to how they could redeem what was left of their worthless hides and  begrudgingly put together a plan.  They would make the long trek back to the main hall and unlock  the heavy metal door leading down to the hidden vault.  They would insert the key, open the door and traverse down the steep steps until they came to another door and inserted the second key.  Once this door was opened they would break the seal on the front of the vault which was covered all over in cuneiform script, and retrieve their engineering schematics.  Sweat beaded across brows and foul odors permeated the air.  "Who would lead the way?" One was chosen.  They then decided that once the document was retrieved they would find a way to blame their mistake on someone or something else.   Sound familiar? 

I have to ask you, has anything changed since the world began?

ABUNDANCE

"This is what I wish for every one of you"

Reference Post: April 23, "Apocalypse Revelation" - This is a close as I can get to a description of the angel I saw. Instead of the arm extending forward it was held high and in its hand, a sword


And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD standing between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand and stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

Count Your Blessings



I had originally planned on posting several new articles on my blog last week, but as some of you already know things have changed dramatically in our lives. Last Saturday evening nine tornadoes were reported in our area of East Texas. Five of them, including a massive F5 were actually on the ground at the same time in our county of Van Zandt. The F5 storm was on the ground for an incredible 51 miles and caused immense damage. That is the one that made a direct hit on our small ranch near Canton, Texas.
          We made it to our safe room in time thanks to a Code Red warning from the Canton fire department, and miraculously survived. When it was all over our house was only one of five in the area that has not been completely demolished. However, it has been severely damaged and has been deemed unlivable so our insurance company has put us up in a motel. We have over thirty trees on our property blown down including all five of our pear trees.
          One of our oak trees came down on my pickup truck and broke it in half. One of our other two cars was totaled, but the other one suffered only minor damage and is driveable. The top of a big pine tree in our front yard was torn off and ended up coming through the roof of our house, landing above my home office. The ceiling seemed to be mostly intact, but today split open and partially collapsed. The roof to our well house was torn off, and our enclosed aluminum six car garage, work shop and storage area was demolished. All of my ranch equipment including my small tractor, tools, chainsaw etc. was totaled. Currently no power and only what water my emergency generator call draw from our damaged well.
          On the up side the outpouring of support from the people of Canton and in fact all of Texas has been amazing. Within two hours of the tornado two Van Zandt County Sheriff’s deputies showed up at our door to check on us. They had to walk in because of the downed trees on our driveway and road. The next morning, our neighbors, many of whom had damage to their own homes, showed up with members of the Canton fire Department to cut through the debris so we could get out of our home. People from all over the area, including surrounding counties showed up with food and water. Local restaurants and churches opened up as shelters and served free hot meals.
          Police and deputies from all over Texas have come in to patrol the area to protect us from looters, although any potential looters should know that it can be a very dangerous occupation in East Texas. Most of us will just shoot you. We also had utility companies from all over the state to put up new lines and poles so the power can be restored. The city of Canton had power within 48 hours, but those of us who live in the boonies will have to wait longer.
          Strangers with chainsaws have been showing up all week to help clear our property and on Friday, May 5, the cavalry arrived. A non-profit charity organization called the Minuteman Disaster Response team from McKinney, Texas showed up with chainsaws and heavy equipment to start seriously clearing our property. They worked all day and then came back today and were joined by volunteers from Mabank, Texas who were sent by a friend of mine in Dallas. All total there were almost 100 volunteers on my property and at my neighbors, who were hit harder than we were, and they did a remarkable job.
          It will still be weeks before we get a new roof on our home and can get moved back in, and even longer until our other buildings can be restored and we have full power. However, we are truly blessed, because we survived, there are five confirmed dead in the area and many apparently still missing. In addition, out of approximately 30 homes in our immediate area ours is one of only five still standing. All others were demolished.
          A final rather bizarre note, when the initial volunteers were cutting a path through the downed trees for us to leave our home there was a huge live oak tree that I estimated to weigh a thousand pounds, but was later told probably weighed over 3,000 pounds, was not a tree from my property or any of the surrounding properties. The roots were intact so it had pulled out of the ground and may have come from miles away. That is an indication of how powerful this storm was.

Symphony of Science - 'We Are All Connected' (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGras...

A Breath of Fresh Air


For all of you experiencing anxiety, confusion, fear and are just feeling down or actively under some type of attack from malevolent and unwanted sources I  recommend smudging.    It's a simple and sacred act that will not only cleanse your home, office or space from unwanted energy but will also aid in boosting your spirit and clearing your mind.   You will need to buy some bundled sage (available through the internet), matches or a lighter,  a feather to fan the sacred smoke and a device (abalone shell or some other fireproof container in which to catch the embers).    This purification ritual, I believe, is vitally important and becoming even more so in view of all the mayhem going on around the world and happening to us.  Open one window to let the unwanted energy escape.  A prayer of intent is offered as you move from room to room smudging and cleansing the air.  I will provide some links to get you started.    This will work for anyone who is in need of help.
