Stop the Divide; A Fresh Start

 

The divide in our country must be filled with some sense of common ground or we will continue to decline into a hollowed out shell of a once great nation.

But where does this common ground start?  It can not be political, that’s one of the biggest reasons for the divide.  It can not be religious, that is another controversial subject that divides us.  No, this common ground has to come from a neutral perspective.

So, to establish a common ground we have to start from a common place.  Our past history is another subject of debate & the reasons for our current decline have already been set in motion.  So where to start?  

How bout we start fresh….from right this second in time.  If we did that, what would you do differently?  Many of the  decisions made in the past control our lives.  Laws established for the common good & protection of society control how we act.  Taken a step further our Constitution establishes how we are governed.  

But a problem exists in that our laws assume innocent until proven guilty, yet many are convicted by a media driven society & many more languish to prove their innocence.  We can not start from the premise that we are all equal….because we’re not.  We may be equal in the eyes of the law, as the scales are held by blind justice….but if you put enough cash on one side of the scales they’ll tip in your favor.  Hardly equitable to someone who can’t bail out & can’t afford proper legal representation.  In six months their life is a shambles & many never recover.  So we are not equal, if you have money & resources you’ll fare much better than the majority of us living paycheck to paycheck.  But we can not fault the man who has worked hard & built his wealth….the fault lies in the judicial system.  

We may all have the same inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness….but we have to agree we are not equal, no 2 people are, not even twins….so let’s make that the starting point.  We’re all different, we all have unique qualities, we all have our inherent weaknesses & strengths, but even with all our differences we can still consider those differences & work together to make a fair & moral society.

So, if we agree we are all different & respect those differences, that’s a start.  But there is a problem.  Seems as though some of those differences are contrary to a God fearing existence.  There are those in our society today that feel their views, their agendas are the only correct ones & all others are somehow less important to consider to a point of censorship & exclusion.  But there is something they don’t realize.

This country was founded by white Christian men.  The Caucasian race, the majority of which are Christian today are the majority in this country.  As is the case in all societies, the majority is often considered oppressive and any & all of the minorities feel oppressed.  However, lately small segments of minorities…in race, ideals & morality…have very loud & angry voices & violent actions.  I guess they feel if they scream, pout, destroy & disrupt enough of our daily lives we’ll succumb to their demented desires…WRONG!!!

As a starting point we must realize that any diverse society will have majority / minority clashes…it’s how we handle these issues that determine the strength of our country moving forward.  If you feel you have to yell at me to get your point across…sorry, you’ve already lost.  If you feel you have to destroy our national monuments, you’ve already lost.  If you feel you have to rewrite history, you will fail, for truth always prevails.  If you feel you must disrupt society to establish your ideals, your distractions are known & useless against a faithful majority.

You see what these demon seeded despots fail to realize is that a growing number of the various minorities have grown tired of the godless ideals, hypocrisy, violence & deceitful rhetoric their various groups portray. So, they eventually side with the majority.  You see it playing out in our elections, ones that are not manipulated anyway, with increased percentages of minorities joining the ranks of  family & country first ideals; voting with the realities they see, rather than the false promises, lies & failure riddled policies of their proposed leaders who have taken granted of their votes for far, far too long.  Change is good, change is coming.

It has to… we can not continue down this slippery slope of decreased moralities at the whim of a few.  Given their way this country is doomed to fail….but their way has already lost, it dies a destiny of death.

Whereas the Faithful, will live a destiny of Love.

Let’s start fresh, the faithful are many & the lost can be found, but only by their will & choice.  Continue in your faith or begin a new, make the right choice & feel what the Spirit can show & do for you.  Hopefully, it will close a gaping divide that if left to grow, could swallow a country whole. 🌻🐝🦉🇺🇸🦅⚖️✨

 

Let your actions be the result of His Word…

Let their words… be the result of your actions.

Planting Seeds

A good friend who has known me for close to 10 years asked me a question the other day over the phone.  He asked me why thoughts of a woman who basically did him wrong for years, at one time they were engaged, keep haunting him, at times distracting him by putting ideas in his head that are contrary to what his real life’s goals & ambitions are.  I gave him several thoughts, mainly how if you’re with someone that long they become a part of you & memories may fade but they’re always there.  But, this is what I should’ve said….

Yesterday I reposted The Root of Evil where I made the case that it is not money or sex….but satan & his misguided minions.  They are pure & uncensored evil which can influence our decisions.  This repost also included the writing My Enemy is in a Me…where I use symbolism & story telling to shed light on how we are our own worst enemy.  Here’s how evil works…

As you know we are born into a physical life that God has granted us our own free will.  We have choices we make every minute of every day.  These choices originate from where??? Our minds.  Nothing is decided or done without thought first, even subconscious thought.  It only takes a flash of a milli-second for our minds to react & cause the rest of our body to be put into action.  Even a simple task of walking requires thought, then action.  Many of our daily actions are second nature or simple muscle movement….then there’s the others that involve deeper thought, planning, action & reaction.

These are the more complex thoughts that often enter our thought patterns by outside forces & worldly influences.  Here’s an example: You are driving to a friends house who expects you there at 8 PM… on the way you see a sign for a 2 for 1 drink special at a bar…you gotta little time so even though it’s not in your plan you stop in for the 2fer, next thing you know 2 turns to 4 then 6 drinks & you miss your 8 PM deadline & your friend leaves without you, an opportunity lost forever because of worldly distractions & planted seeds.

Where do these thought seeds come from? Well, the devil uses them to deceive you…God uses them to show you the truth.   We have free will, neither God or the devil can make you do anything…but they can bombard you with thought seeds to either help or hinder you in your life’s journey.  Those that are successful in their journey separate the truth from the lies, make sound decisions and are often rewarded with blessings beyond belief.  Those that are deceived by the thoughts of evil, hate & harm suffer consequences in both this physical world as well as the spiritual realm.

So, I hope & pray that if you look back on your own life you can pick out those instances that you made decisions that were life changing, hopefully the majority were good, but none of us are perfect and it can be very easy to succumb to deceptive thoughts.

Thoughts planted in our woke hours or in our dreams.  We have free will…free to choose…free to cast out unwanted & deceptive thoughts….free to capture, cherish & capitalize on pure & loving thoughts.

It is often difficult to separate & determine the two, but as you cast out demon thoughts & embellish Godly thoughts…you’ll find the demon seeds will be less frequent as they search for weaker & younger souls.

No one knows the thoughts of a killer, but be assured the result was first planted by demon seeds in their head.  We see mass shootings & crimes against children & other awful things in our society today.  They are all the works of demon seeds.  

We see miracles & wonders every day, these are the results of Godly seeds.  These are the thoughts & actions that as you grow in Faith you will learn to trust & better understand.  

So my dear friend to further answer your question…ignore & cast out those unwanted thoughts, they are just trying to distract you.   Look around & replace them with thoughts of nature & good will, which I know you are trying to do.  Stay true to those Heavenly sent seeds and your spirit will shine & grow in Faith.

We all have choices….to grow a beautiful garden with Godly seeds, flowers, trees & Heavenly scents…or demon seeds resulting in thorns, weeds & death.

The choice is easy for most, but not all on this planet have the true Faith in God…but someday soon, we won’t need to worry bout demon seeds no more, cuz they’ll all be burning & rotting in hell for eternity.

Have a great day & remember you can plant seeds in the lives of those around you too…just make sure they’re good ones.   

Live in His Peace & His Love will surround you.

A Continuous Saga

Life is a mystery, well for me it is anyway.

For me to make that statement alone by itself, is an effort.  An effort that is too often lost in today’s world.

Yesterday on Facebook, I said I planned to get some work as a ranch hand, as being a ranch hand working with horses & other animals in the bounties of nature has always been a dream.  Dreams become desires & desires become realities if & only if effort is applied.  And, efforts are wasted if prayer is not involved.  I knew the whole time I wrote it, on Facebook, it was a waste of time.  Why???  Because life…is a mystery.

I have learned so many lessons in my 61 years, that I can’t keep track, so I don’t.  Instead, I utilize those lessons, those experiences, those memories to dictate my initial actions….& then reactions afterwards.

Life is a mystery because we don’t know what tomorrow, next week, or 5 years from now will bring.  One of the hardest lessons to learn is that you, me, we, us & them, don’t really know what will happen one second from now.  Think about that….do you really, really know if your heart will keep beating or stop beating, one second from now….you don’t.  So, life is a mystery.  A mystery you, me, we & us…were born to solve. I left them out, because they have no desire to pursue anything other than their own ill-gotten gains.

Life in itself is one big hard lesson, well for most of us anyway.  Most of those that are spoon fed with a golden spoon from birth have little to no concept of struggle.  Well sir, struggles are part of our life lessons. Nothing, nothing is worth anything without struggle, because to get out of that strangle hold requires what??  That’s right you’re getting it…..effort, desire & prayer.

Life is a mystery, but I’ll solve one for you now.  I am writing this at this very second in time.  Right now it’s 11/2/2022  11:20 PM EST, & I’m writing this now, not fourteen years ago.  Life is a mystery & here’s another one…I did not realize until about an hour ago that I hadn’t done a blog post since October 11, 2022.

That post is called “Untold Story”  and it was written for a reason, a reason 40 years ago I would not even conceived let alone understood.  There are folks that read Untold Story & don’t understand it, yes it does have over tones of being a mystery in itself, but there are folks who can read between my lines & feel the meaning of its effort.  An effort conceived in struggle, resulting in desire that required effort & prayer to solve.  

The lesson I learned long ago was not to overly concern & question myself over my actions & reactions. And why is that??? I feel some of you know, but others gave up long ago.  For those that live in Faith we know the answer to the mystery of the Untold Story, because they too have seen glimpses, heard whispers & felt bits & pieces of the story it relates to.  Then there are others who have no clues & probably never will.

So…I ask you fine lady, what is the premise, the inspiration, the mystery behind the Untold Story?  An answer seems hard to come by, especially for those outside the Faith.  Here are my recent thoughts of distant memories derived from struggle, desire, effort & prayer over the past fourteen years of my life….a life that is a mystery to even some in my own family, where I have friends who know me better than that.

The mystery I said I would solve this very moment in time is really pretty dang simple…here it is…..Why, after posting on my blog pretty regularly & having increased energy levels & clarity of thought, why did I go 3 weeks without posting anything on this blog?

You may not think it is a life mystery, but it is to those out there waiting for me to blog post something, I know you’re out there, & I thank you for that.  Nothing was supposed to be posted on this blog, until this writing, however long it took to develop & when that was as you know in God’s timing, not mine.

You see, well at least I pray you do now or at some point see, the mystery of the Untold Story is not in my words….it’s in my two pictures.  All the pictures in & on this blog were taken by me.  I do not re-copy, photo shop or edit any of them, cuz that’s not what I saw or seen when I took the pic.  There are two pictures, one at the beginning & one at the end of the Untold Story, & that is where the mystery resides; because life is a mystery, a mystery for you, me, we & us to solve.

There is only one other person on this planet that sees what I see in the first pic, after a little help from little ‘ol me.  I did that intentionally so that I had a least one witness that I shared part of this mystery with in case I met some kind of untimely demise; after all I am an under cover observer, not a detective, just an observer, but that’s a whole nuther mystery.

If you haven’t by now, please take a break, cuz I’m going too, & look back at those two pictures at the beginning & end of the previous post to this one, dated October 11, 2022, called Untold Story. 

Both the pics are recent, the first pic I call Brain Cloud…not Bryan Cloud, Brain Cloud & was taken at the entrance area of a marina in Apollo Beach, Florida bout 6 weeks ago, the second is called Tree Thinker…it was taken out my back patio to the West around three weeks ago if I remember right.  The video on & in this post just happened, it really did as I was writing this very paragraph.   God’s timing amazes me daily, lately even more so.  And that my friends solves one of the biggest questions mankind has….Who, What & Where is God…you ready for it??

Well good sir & fine lady I see you brought your children too, thank you for including your most precious possession & they who hold the future.  You see it’s quite simple, all you had to do was read a blog post of mine from 2008 I believe that answers this very question. 

Who, what & where is God?  He is Father Time…He has a hour glass in one hand and a stop watch in the other, among other things, like the purse strings to this nation & this Earth. Where is God…He’s everywhere & anywhere at any time & at any place He chooses.  If you wanna know what He looks like that’s kinda hard to explain, but check out some of the pics from the new NASA Space Telescope & you might form your own perceptions & ideas.

As far as the mysteries in the two pics mentioned & visible in & on Untold Story….the first pic Brain Cloud has at least four maybe five cloud faces  easily distinguishable & another live face in the tree.  All the faces are looking to the left…gotta keep an eye on those snake like lefties, they like to throw curve balls AKA lies & distractions. 

The first face which is the pics namesake is the large face looking upward, the top of the palm tree is where his brain is.  The second face is a demon face low right, third face is midway up the tree & the fourth is a woman’s face with her eye top right.  There’s a possible fifth face between the demon & the woman.  And last but certainly not least, although some would have you believe otherwise, the animal kingdom is represented by the Osprey in the palm tree.  The clouds hold the mysteries of the ancients & the currents, the Osprey is there as a reality check…unedited & in real time.

The second picture Tree Thinker is looking right with his head bowed & Jupiter in line at a 45 off his fore head.  He’s in deep thought & prayer & just wants to be free & left alone to continue his thoughts & prayers.

So there you have a few mysteries to ponder, as I have, but they are not a wonder to me anymore since I wandered into God’s Garden, which is all around us & asked a few questions to help my life’s journey, which as far back as I can remember has been dedicated to solving any of life’s mysteries I can…& pass on what I find.  And, what I’ve found along my wanderment is amazing, so amazing it’s hard to express, but I do my best, that’s all any of us can do & that’s all God asks of us in return for His great favor on our Nation.

As a final example the SkyView pic of Libra on & in the previous FB post was taken while writing this by accident as I was using SkyViews compass to set bearings & this view popped up with the compass at just the right second in time, under the floor at the bottom of the Earth from where I’m sitting.  But that’s the beauty of technology… it can sees things we can’t…even though it’s all been here since the beginning of this Earths time…God’s Time.

Now for the climax of this story, the proof of Gods timing that can not be denied… we have owls here, big brown & horned owls…that make strange sounds at night.  I’ve heard them here in parts of Florida that I have hunted & traveled & lived for a good portion of my 61 years.  I’ve had experiences when hunting & walking & just living that I have wrote about & told people about, but nothing like what happened a little while ago.

So I’ve been writing this while most everyone has been sleeping, with my goal to finish by 7 AM….God is good and has thrown me little bits of encouragement thru not only this writing but thru my whole life.  Owls represent wisdom to us modern & simple folk, it’s in our history & stories.  The brown owl with its silent flight, keen & superb eye sight, talons to grab & hold & a beak to rip & tear, are the forests observers, hunters, counselors & councilors.  It takes wisdom to be a good therapist & decision maker  & owls represent wisdom for the animal kingdom.

So, I walk outside for a smoke during this writing and what does God do..??  There’s at least two owls in the same area of tress as Tree Thinker….matter of fact I know it’s dark but if you look closely you can make out Tree Thinker, that’s not what’s important..it’s their night sounds that I captured & it was only by the Grace & timing of who???? You got it, our wonderful Father Time.  I have never been this close to them making these sounds, but I did have one land in a tree bout 14 feet away from me once while hunting…but that’s a whole nuther story.  Happy Days & Peaceful Nights My Friends….BAS 6:56 AM EST 11/3/2022   ThorsDay.
