OUR PART IS THE TRAP

WHAT CATCHES USIt does not matter through who the trap or temptation comes, WHAT MATTERS IS - WHY DID WE FALL FOR IT - WHY DID WE GO ALONG, WHY DID WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE TRAPPED AND WHY DID WE CAUSE ANOTHER TO DO WRONG BY GIVING IN !!! Had we not given in, they would not have done wrong....EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ???? HAVE WE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT AND CONSIDERED OUR PART IN TEMPTATION ????? Because they will drag us into it....we know all the sayings.....it takes two to tango, in for a penny in for a pound, one finger point outward, the other three back at us...... Are we clean ? NO ! Is there dirt hidden, what are we hiding because IT IS GOING TO BE EXPOSED.... best do it now in the privacy of our own home, behind closed doors, BEFORE IT IS DONE IN PUBLIC FOR ALL TO SEE......BECAUSE THAT DAY WILL COME, IT COMES FOR US ALL....SO.......ARE WE READY...........©

Tomorrow..... What do we do about it........

CHAINED

TRAPPED IN THE GAME

Temptation comes knocking on our door,
chase it away before it throws you to the floor,
don't give in, don't fall for the lure,
you'll search very far to find a cure.

It takes two to tango, as they say,
you will be blamed, come what may,
what gets us trapped is our part in the story,
we've taken the hand of what is gory.

When accepting the offers to these temptations,
we open the doors to valleys of damnations,
not only do we ourselves do what us wrong,
but cause them to wrong by accepting their song.

Had we not accepted we may have stopped a crime,
which is more important than a dollar or a dime,
answer we will for the day will come,
and then there is no place for us to run. ©

Tomorrow....what do we do about it.....

ORIGIN OF LAWS AND TRADITIONS

SEVEN SCIENCES

Laws, traditions, cultures, religions, etc originate from the 7 sciences....methods tested and tried as the masses started growing. It was no longer small families which the father or mother could teach and control, but became tribes and clans which needed a broader kind of system. All have to live and coexist and for that to take place we must have consideration and respect for one another. As some people are hardworking and get somewhere in life, others become jealous and want what they have, but are not willing to put in the work and hours and start coveting and stealing which breeds great anger and wrath. So laws had to be put into place to protect the hard worker from being robbed and protect the lazy man from stealing and doing wrong. It is written that all scripture is given by divine inspiration so people may live in the light and know what to look out for. Very little of it is explained in detail and seems to be scattered all over the place and the ordinary man works all day and does not have the time to search for the details and that is why there are leaders, preachers, teachers and guides, to steer the people of a nation in the right direction. Laws do not restrict us as such, but rather protect us from doing the things that will harm us and others. We have the ten commandments  - commands we ought to follow as there are consequences and not always by being caught by the law, but being defiled and degraded by the negative effects of doing wrong to ourselves and others. It destroys our humaneness and we become hardened and bitter and stop caring, causing endless damage to ourselves, our fellow man and our nature. Most of the bad things that happen to us are self inflicted because it is the after affects of our behaviour....the fall out. This is why we seek the lack within ourselves AND DON'T POINT FINGERS. Leaders would do well to lay out the law to their people in such a way as to understand the consequences....clearly spell it out....when we steal we have caused harm to another bringing anger, wrath and war which destroys everything. It steals our values and morals and makes us a burden on a nation, it does this and that......and give a full breakdown so people understand what they are doing wrong and why. OUR PROBLEM IS NOT THE ONE CATCHING US OUT, BUT THE WHY COULD THEY CATCH US OUT, WHAT AMMUNITION DID WE GIVE THEM, WHAT CAN THEY HOLD AGAINST US TO GIVE THEM THE POWER TO CATCH US....IT IS SELF INFLICTED BY OUR WRONGS......©

Tomorrow...what really catches us....

MASS CONTROL

LAWS

Laws and traditions were set into place,

religions and cultures were given a face,

as nations expanded and continually grew,

they needed guidance not to go askew.

Laws are there to protect us from wrong,

lead us on paths that bring a happy song,

all scripture is given by divine inspiration,

to ensure the spiritual health of a nation.

It keeps us within the realms of humanity,

preventing us being swallowed by insanity,

people are busy with work each day,

that's why there's leaders to show the way.

We have the commands that keep us pure,

when we follow them well we will always be sure,

most of our troubles are self inflicted,

because we think we're being restricted. ©

RECIPE TO SOLUTIONS

FINDING SOLUTIONS

The first step to finding any solution is to identify the problem by laying it OUTSIDE OUR MIND - why do we learn in school by listening then writing it down.....the ear hears and takes it into the brain, the hand brings it out and writes it down so we can see it and take a mental photo of it, bringing the comprehension, our mind are much better equipped to remember and solve a picture, than a bunch of words. It first goes inside then we bring it OUT AGAIN TO SEE IT CLEARLY. Now we can SEE IT WE CAN WORK WITH IT - IT LIFTS US ABOVE THE SITUATION. We can now separate the wheat from the chaff - this is how we find the core and reasons BEHIND WORDS AND ACTIONS. When something happens to us....WHY DOES IT AFFECT US THE WAY IT DOES AND WHY DO WE ACCEPT IT INTO OUR LIVES. Because we haven't found the wheat. There is a lot of hay to move before we can find the needle in the haystack. But when we identify the needle it is much easier to find. Once we find it we see what we lack to cope with it. It is not through who or what it came our way, but what we do with it now that it us landed in our laps. To cope with situations we must equip ourselves and that way solutions will always appear. Remove all the rubble and get to the point. This method always assures results. It is when we grovel and battle within the storm and blame others that we lose our way and are blinded to the solutions, because the solutions lay in the equipping ourselves, once we rise above it we gain control over it. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY OUT AND ALWAYS A SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM. That's why it's called a problem......prob = probe ; l = lay it open ;

e = empty it ; m = meaning....find the meaning.... add it all together = problem.

Now we have the recipe to solving solutions......©

Tomorrow....laws, religions, traditions and there origin in the 7 sciences.......

HEAR BUT ALSO SEE

RISE ABOVE PROBLEMS

We hear many things that bring confusion,

seeing it with the eye will bring a solution,

don't grovel and remain inside a storm,

rise above it to find its form.

We take our problems and lay them open,

separate the wheat from the chaff that is broken,

find what we lack to cope with the situation,

gain the skills to succeed with the operation.

The recipe to success is finding our lack,

developing skills to cope and not crack,

we use all life's problems as training sessions,

keep on going until we've learnt all the lessons.

By using this method we'll always have results,

instead of blaming others and throwing insults,

we grow and move forward in a light that shines brightly,

giving us the power over problems that roar mightily. ©

CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES

WHAT TO ACCEPT

There are many ways and methods of planting a tree, but whether it will grow and bear fruit, be healthy and strive depends on our knowledge of that tree. Preparation is always necessary for it to grow like it should. A big enough hole is dug, then filled with the right compost mixture suitable for that specific tree.....some like it acid and some like it alkaline and this we need to know or it will not grow like it should and maybe not at all. Only then do we plant it, feed and water it as it needs. Life and circumstances are the same....some circumstances are not beneficial for healthy growth, mentally, physically or emotionally. We need to surround our lives with the right kind of circumstances. So we need to know WHAT TO CHOOSE, WHAT TO ACCEPT, WHAT TO REJECT AND WHAT TO LIVE BY. This we seek from those who have the knowledge and wisdom gained through experience. It very much depends on which paths we choose to travel on and which ones to reject. What we believe also depends on what is in the circle on which we travel and often we are caught up in the wrong circles which drag us down or over a cliff into undesirable circumstances  and then we don't stay there and be battered by storms - we move away from it. These are circumstances, we can change them. The choices we make depends on the knowledge we have at the time, but life is mostly about live and learn. When we do venture onto wrong paths and wish to make a U turn, we should have the freedom to do so without being held captive by our mistakes. We should have the opportunity to make right as far as we can as our pain and suffering, guilt and regrets should be payment enough for the price of the lessons. What we really need, is to be shown the right way out of the mess, thereby learning from our experiences by finding solutions to our difficulties, making our mistakes, errors and wrong choices interesting adventures, informative and uplifting instead of crushing us into a helpless, hopeless heap of nothingness.....©

Tomorrow....finding solutions......

SUCKED INTO LIFE

MERELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL

How shall we know what in life to accept,

when will we know what we should reject,

life moves fast and picks us up with a speed,

we land in the main stream with no time to read.

From pillar to post we are shoved around,

battered and bruised we are thrown to the ground,

we aimlessly run in circles each day,

while circumstances have a jolly good play.

Our emotions and minds are bent and buckled,

as babies are born that need to be suckled,

the children grow up in a state of confusion,

running to drugs to calm their delusion.

We need to learn how to find a solution,

seek the right way out of a messy situation,

move away from undesirable circumstances,

be given the freedom to explore fresh chances. ©Copyright

SYMPTOMS AND BALANCE

REMOVE THE CAUSE

Our emotions don't suffer because of our bodies but our bodies suffer tremendously because of our emotions, when our emotions are in turmoil, our energy balance is out of sinc and the entire system goes haywire. Our brains become confused because our bodies are reacting to our emotions and not to the knowledge and theory we receive - our brain tells us one thing but the reactions do a different thing....totally contrary to what the instructions say and stress join the party.... resulting in bad eating habits as our food doesn't digest properly under all the stress levels making us feel nauseous and lethargic, we don't sleep well because the brain refuses to switch off for the night and the stress levels have us all worked up, so we don't get rest, we become tired, irritable and abrupt, causing us to guilty for treating other in a bad way, adding even more stress. Our system weakens giving space to disease and illness, mostly of an emotional or mental kind. It is pointless treating the symptoms because they continually reoccur. We have to dive in deep and find the cause of the emotional disturbance, which list is endless....misunderstandings, confusion, stress, resentment, revenge, anger, hatred, to mention but a few - all in line with emptiness inside, all in line with lack of guidance, all in line with being wise in our eyes. The greatest stabilizing emotional force in life is love - not relationship lust, but a complete love that includes belonging, a love for life, for nature, for our fellow man. Within this love lays the fruits of respect, consideration, compassion, mercy, kindness, generosity, loyalty, honour, dignity and so much more which opens doors into understanding, reasoning, wisdom to use the knowledge we have collected. Without it there is an abyss of emptiness, a massive unfilled void that nothing else can fill. Owning money and gold and possessions are all outside of us, but this void is within resulting in many symptoms of turmoil and torment. We grab here and there and everywhere to try and fill what's missing in our lives, but to no avail, because only love can fill it and connect us to all of creation. Once we find this love all symptoms disappear and we fund our true centre and balance....©

Tomorrow.... Circumstances....

CALM SURRENDER

CALM SURRENDER

Emotional turmoil causes havoc with life,

taking us to paths of bitterness and strife,

our brains need knowledge for us to compete,

our hearts need an anchor to be complete.

Many symptoms manifest in torment,

as the troubles in life do not relent,

we need to know who and what we are,

find stability that can take us far.

Treating the symptoms is a waste of time,

our problem is far deeper down the line,

our emotions thrive on tranquil serenity,

the kind you only find from the divinity.

To find our place and know where we belong,

brings contentment with a joyful song,

we will ride every wave that presents itself,

filling our lives with the best from the shelf. ©Copyright

EMOTIONS AND LIFE

 

RIDE THE WAVES

The person living in the body is an emotional being as knowledge plays havoc with the way we are feeling. The brain and the logic tells us how we should be, stating the facts like written theory. When we're feeling down on an emotional low, we are told to take tonic and boosters as well. We do all these things as we are told to do, but the darkness still abides feeling so blue. We spike our bodies with over activity while a heart of lead still drags us to the ground. We go for the tests to see what is wrong, but it's not from the body that brings forth the song. We spend night after night rolling around in our bed with all the knowledge running up and down in our head. We're so disconnected and pulled apart as our mind keeps on contradicting the heart. We're placed in a box and shoved into molds, blindly following whatever we're told. We struggle for years with insecurity and doubts because we are treating the wrong symptoms. We try to use mental brainwashing with positive thinking, but when we are truly honest with ourselves it doesn't reach the broken heart. We become masters of disguise, not even knowing ourselves, hiding our emptiness inside with grand gestures and big talk. We say we are fine but lie through our teeth as we laugh too loud trying to hide the heaviness that pulls us down. We think we're all adult in hiding our emotions, but like a neglected child it keeps making commotions, like a stormy sea causing havoc in our souls. We chain our feelings in prisons and cages, not wishing for others to see our rages. And so we survive in unhappy pretense, seeking in all the wrong places for the joy and contentment that should fulfill our lives....©

Tomorrow.....symptoms and balance.....

SINK OR SWIM

EMOTIONAL RENEWAL

When emotions run wild our lives lose control,

we scurry around like an underground mole,

insecurities and doubts make us blind to see,

the truth that will surely make us free.

Releasing emotions are not a weakness at all,

it opens the channels to make us stand tall,

the power of the mind doesn't reach to the heart,

it gets stuck in logic ripping us apart.

Our emotional being are the thoughts that make us tick,

the perspective of feelings that the darkness will lick,

we got to let it flow in a continuous stream,

the moment we block it it rots every dream.

Any pain we harbour must float out to sea,

freshness must enter for us to truly be,

pills and tonics can't fill empty spaces,

when love is the elixir that brings us graces. ©Copyright

SUCH A STUPID THING TO DO

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.....

There is no man that knows all things, there is no man who has studied every action, feeling, emotion and or the results of reactions.  So many things we do and say through total ignorance of the consequences, we don't even think of consequences....we don't mean to hurt others and can't understand why we do !!! Most of all our lives are actions and reactions, impulses and instinct, without giving it a second thought....it's just simply what happens. We unknowingly and unintentionally hurt each other on so many levels and then rage speaks....it is no longer us speaking but the anger within us....basically misunderstanding is speaking....we don't have a frigging clue of what is going on....it's all a bunch of reactions, so really, our only guilt is NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO SAY AND HOW TO REACT WHEN LIFE HITS US SQUARE IN THE FACE. AND THIS SURELY IS NOT A CRIME.....ALL WE NEED IS A TRUTHFUL EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS GOING ON AND SOMEONE TO HELP US DEAL WITH OUR SITUATIONS. ...SO LITTLE ASKED AND SO IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE.....NO ONE PERSON HAS THE FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHO WE ARE, OR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HELP US THROUGH THIS, NEITHER DO THEY HAVE THE TIME BECAUSE IT IS A FULL TIME JOB....THEY NEED TO BE WITH US ALL THE TIME. SO WHERE TO FROM HERE ???????? ARE WE JUST TO CONTINUE WITH THE ANGER SUCKING US DRY, LIVING LOVELESS LIVES, ALWAYS WALKING ALONE WITH NO ONE BY OUR SIDE, WHY HAVE LIFE IF THERE IS NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH ???? NO - NO - NO AND NO AGAIN..... WE DO HAVE THE CONNECTION TO 24/7 HELP...... REAL, GENUINE FULL TIME HELP UNDER ALL CONDITIONS, WITH ALL CIRCUMSTANCES....AND THIS CONNECTION IS TO THE SOURCE OR CENTER OR CORE OF ALL EXISTENCE....A PLACE WHERE WE GET INSTANT HELP AND ASSISTANCE WITH ANY EVENT OR HAPPENING, AS IT HAPPENS, ON THE SCENE ASSISTANCE IN THE HERE AND NOW..... THIS IS THE SPIRITUAL CONNECTION TO ALL INFORMATION, ALL KNOWLEDGE, ALL WISDOM, ALL DIRECTION.....AND WHEN TUNED INTO THIS IT LIVES WITHIN US, IN OUR SOUL, OUR SPIRIT, OUR HEART AND MIND....RIGHT INSIDE, AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME UNDER ANY CONDITIONS....THIS IS THE ONLY HELP WE REALLY HAVE..... AND ONCE WE FIND IT, WE WONDER HOW WE EVER SURVIVED WITHOUT IT.......WE REALLY, REALLY DO NEED A LOT OF HELP TO MANAGE IN THIS LIFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE EMOTIONS AND UNSEEN THINGS THAT ARE SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND....©Copyright

JUST A LITTLE LOST

NOT GUILTY

Life is long and hard and tough,

ignorance takes us on paths that are rough,

so many things we say and do,

without really knowing which paths to pursue.

So many words are spoken in rage,

when hurt by life and caught in a cage,

revenge traps us in a circle so strong,

sucking us further on paths that are wrong.

With pain so deep hurting inside,

our eyes become blind to the ride,

we don't know what we really do,

as pain has its own paths to pursue.

None of this makes us guilty at all,

we simply get lost in the storms that call,

we blindly follow the slide to a fall,

having to learn again to stand tall.

POWER OF DEATH OVER US

WHAT GIVES DEATH POWER OVER OUR LIVES ???

It is written.... The wages of sin is death - our wrongs separate us from the freedom to live our lives....we go into bondage and are trapped by the wrongs we do.....then came the cross, which not all believe in, but one of the reasons for the cross was to take away the written law that made us guilty and replace it with the indwelling spirit that guides us in the right direction. WHAT NOW ???? Until we receive the spirit we are still living in a state of bondage under the written law and the wrongs according to this law.....were still in a state of "death", separated from the freedom to live our lives, the moment we are reunited to the spirit we are reunited to life and go from " death to life".....from bondage to freedom. While in a state of "death" we cannot help ourselves simply because we are under the control of a power that rules in our life. Our minds are befuddled and confused by lies, guilt and insecurity and then we don't believe we are worthy of a free life, and believe we are destined to die.....but death is not the end....we live on, so we need to know this and make sure we go where we want to be after we depart from what we know as life. This is why it is a blessing indeed when others pray on our behalf and intercede for us, those that are free to do so, so never push away a prayer....whether you believe or not doesn't change the facts as they are. We really should spend far more time finding out about these things, it is very important and too late to cry once we are there, and stuck, and helpless to do anything about it......FIND OUT, DO YOUR RESEARCH, GET KNOWLEDGE TO GIVE YOU THE AMMUNITION TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS..... FOR YOUR SAKE.....In the meantime a prayer for all those stuck.....in the name of Jesus Christ, who opened the door to the spirit and freedom, we pray for the release of all trapped in the state of death and pray for the spirit of God to be poured upon them all so their eyes and ears may be opened and they may be freed from the darkness of ignorance that keep them imprisoned. We pray this in the name of the Father, The Son And the Holy Spirit. Amen...... Accept this prayer as a gift if you please, or let it go by if you please......IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO LIFE AND FREEDOM.... ©copyright

STRAYS ARE LOVED TOO

LOVED SO DEEPLY

The wages of sin is death as is written,

as all have sinned we all are smitten,

that why the cross came to be,

to remove what was written to set us free.

Now all we need is to hear the truth,

find the spirit that brings us life and youth,

walk away from the clutches of death,

being transformed with a spiritual breath.

To live and be free is a gift divine,

find paths of joy that are deeply sublime,

walk through our days without any regrets,

live in such a way to show all their respects.

To have a chance to fix our mistakes,

without being cast into the lake of snakes,

to be loved so deeply that all is okay,

even when into the darkness we stray. ©Copyright

WHAT EXACTLY IS SPIRITUAL ASSURANCE

FINDING THE PEARL HIDDEN IN THE OYSTER.........

It is taking out an ASSURANCE POLICY ON OUR SPIRIT AND SOUL, so regardless of where we venture, our spirit and soul is always protected, which is far more important than material things, because this is our eternity. We have health insurance/ medical aid, legal insurance, accident insurance, etc, etc, etc and while we live we even go as far as making arrangements to die......we make an agreement with the grave through funeral policies.....IT'S ABSURD.......WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WILLINGLY AGREE TO GO TO THE GRAVE ???? IT MAKES NO SENSE !!!!!! IT IS CRAZY !!!!!! WHY WOULD ANYONE AGREE TO THIS ????? WHAT HAPPENED ????? WHY DO YOU AGREE TO DIE ???? AND WHERE TO, we even choose a hole in the ground....do we know this leads to Hades, the God of the dead and underworld ???? Why would any agree to this ???? Or we choose going through the fire of cremation which leads to Molech. ...WHY ???? ON WHAT DO WE BASE THESE DECISIONS ????? BASED ON WHAT INFORMATION ???? HAVE WE CHECKED IT OUT ???? WHY NOT ????? WE HAVE OTHER CHOICES.....like resurrection and life....JH 11:25-27, where we bypass death and judgement .....JH 5:19-30. We become transformed .....mat 17:2, 1 cor 15:42-58. It is written.....it is destined for man to die once and then the judgement....heb 9:27, BUT IT IS ALSO WRITTEN THAT IF WE HAVE THE SPIRIT OF LIFE THAT BROUGHT JESUS BACK FROM THE GRAVE, IT WILL RESCUE US FROM THE GRAVE AS WELL.......IT IS OUR CHOICE......WE CAN TAKE OUT A FUNERAL POLICY IF WE BELIEVE IN DEATH, WHICH IS SENSELESS OR WE CAN TAKE OUT LIFE ASSURANCE BY BEING BAPTISED AND SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH MAKES FAR MORE SENSE......WHY GO THROUGH ALL THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION IN LIFE TO DIE ???? THERE IS NO PURPOSE IN THAT... IT SIMPLY MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL....TO BE TRAINED FOR FUTURE JOURNEY'S IS FAR MORE LOGICAL.......A QUESTION FOR YOU......WHY CHOOSE DEATH AND JUDGEMENT WHEN WE HAVE THE OPTION OF LIFE AND FREEDOM ?????? CAN YOU ANSWER THIS ?????..... ©Copyright

WHY THE GRAVE ????

NOT BORN TO DIE

Where we are born we have no say,

our first twenty years is school and play,
then comes all the financial arrangements,
job, house, car and insurance payments.

While we live we make an agreement with the grave,
funeral benefits that our souls can't save,
why would we choose such a path as that,
when transformation fills all our lack.

We have other choices than a hole in the ground,
the path to Hades where lost souls are found,
or going through the fire and being cremated,
such a ghastly thought that is instigated.

On what do we base these enormous decisions,
why don't we do our sums and revisions,
there is also the path of resurrection and life,
bypassing judgement, the fire and the grave. ©Copyright

THE HONEST ROAD

EVEN BEHIND OUR BACK

Life and freedom doesn't care whether we choose the high or low road, providing it is the honest road. We start building life's foundations from a very young age without realizing it, because it is not laid out as such....through schooling, college or varsity and the early years of our careers we lay a foundation on which our entire life needs to lean without it giving way and breaking under us......from here we meet a life partner, placing further strain on it and possibly a family that needs to be held by these foundations. The normal things we concern ourselves about are once again physical..... Insurances, medical and legal aid and insurance, pension funds, etc, all financial safety nets, BUT HOW MANY OF US TAKE OUT SPIRITUAL SAFETY NETS.....SPIRITUAL ASSURANCE ? What assurance policy have we taken against the chains of lies and deceit, cheating and dishonesty ? What is the name of your policy and with who is it ? THIS IS VERY REAL AND VERY SERIOUS, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US REALIZE JUST HOW SERIOUS !!!!! No insurance, legal aid or financial plan can help us out of the chains of lies....we will pay !!! And pay BIG !!! When this deceit is large enough it may very well swallow all our financial arrangements, including our job, car, house, even family and spit out the bones..........can we still stand with nothing left ? How will we make it through ? What do we have to lean on ? Will YOU make it ?

Losing everything material.???? Will YOU be able to continue with the journey because you are spiritually SECURE, and only lost the financial part of life....nothing serious at all as it can all be replaced. YOU STILL HAVE ALL THE IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE TRUTH, HONOUR, RESPECT, LOVE, THINGS MONEY CAN'T TRASH IF WE LOOK AFTER IT WITH CARE....NOT SO....... . ©

STRONGER THAN MONEY

SPIRITUAL ASSURANCE

With purity we lay our cornerstone,

with truth we attach sinew to bone,

brick by brick we lay our foundation,

using love to cement our own creation.

It has to be strong to last very long,

as a spouse and family may join our song,

it needs to stand without any crutches,

still be strong through financial crashes.

Can we continue when we lose it all,

job, house, car and a financial fall,

nothing serious as it can all be replaced,

we still have our honour that's not defaced.

What spiritual assurance have we taken out,

do we even know what it's all about,

what have we laid as our safety net,

that will stand through every test that's met. ©Copyright

THE CAPTIVE SPIRIT

OUT TO TRAP

This world seems to be out to trap and hold the spirit captive in the material realm. Beauty is flaunted as make up, hairdo's, soft, silky, body lotions, cloths, all based on list and sexual desire, wealth is flaunted as big cars, big houses, the suite and leather shoes, the fancy job...all costing lots of money, but that's no problem.....with a little cheating, stealing, lying, dishonestly and underhand business dealings the money flows.....because we know so little about ourselves and our journey, we actually get drawn into it, at the cost of our freedom. We are dragged down this "path of falseness and pretense for years" running after the money to afford ALL THE DRESS UP, NEGLECTING OUR HONOUR, DECENCY, VALUES AND HONESTY UNTIL THE DAY IT BLOWS UP IN OUR FACES AND WE SEE THE EMPTINESS OF IT ALL. We need to keep our spirit free of all this falsehood by remaining on the paths of purity and truth. Every lie and deceit attaches our spirit to the world and only exposing it will break it free again, causing us to lose all we gained dishonestly anyway....we need to choose the paths of purity......©

PURITY TO REIGN

REMAINING FREE

Keep the spirit on the paths of truth,

travelling within the purity of worth,

free it will remain to move ahead,

without entanglement bringing it dread.

Beauty is flaunted with outer appearance,

the make up and falseness drawing endearance,

it's all for show with glitter and glow,

but empty inside as it passes in a flow.

Wealth is flaunted with houses and cars,

hidden in hearts the tears and scars,

the love and caring that went down the drain,

as the cost of all the material gain.

Success of our journey is remaining free,

moving through all obstacles with clarity to see,

we don't lie or cheat for material gain,

let it pass for purify to reign. 

TRAVELLING DIFFERENT REALMS

MATERIAL VS SPIRITUAL

The material realm are the wheels that turn, it's within the spirit that the gears are changed, new directions are followed, etc. Often this is not possible in the flesh and has to be instigated from the mind - the flesh simply follows the desires or lusts of the body....when it is hungry, we eat, when tired, we sleep, when thirsty, we drink ....there is no right or wrong, conscience, regrets, etc. It's just what it is....an impulse from a material organism that requires an action to satisfy it. This is merely survival of an organism.....the flesh looking out for itself without taking anything else into account. Our humaneness comes from our spiritual side, our conscience, where and how we obtain what we eat and drink..... our flesh does not care, but our conscience does, and this is where we become tied up in knots. .....when our spiritual side is tied up with the material world, when the gears and wheels become entangled everything becomes vague and we can no longer see clearly which way to go....we need to learn to keep them completely separate.   ©

FLESH AND SPIRIT

RIGHT KIND OF BALANCE

Our fleshy body is an organism that needs care,

sending out impulses that require certain fare,

the material realm are the wheels that turn,

but the gears and direction from the spirit does burn.

We need to tread to keep the two apart,
clearly define where each one starts,
not to entangle the wheels and gears,
ending up in confusion and fears.

Certain comforts the flesh does need,
but not at the cost of our freedom seed,
we can keep the spirit within purities zone,
while the flesh receives to keep it in tone.

It's all about the right kind of balance,
to go to the right place for each ones reliance,
the flesh we serve through the wheels that turn,
the spirit we keep where the truth does burn. ©Copyright

Attachments

MONEY WEBS

There are so many webs and attachments in life, we end up being sucked into the "system", totally losing track of who we are and what we are doing here. We need a place to live which costs money, so we need a job to pay the rent and insurances, etc, then transport to get to the job and so we fall into the money game, we receive and pay out, that's all we do.....work, get paid and pay everyone else and our lives become totally controlled by this. Once everyone has had their cut, we don't have enough left to do what we enjoy and are so tired of working all the hours, that we don't have any quality time left for those we " love"......becoming like robots trapped in the material values and attachments forgetting the moral values and things of real importance....so sad really.  

ARGUMENTS - WHO WINS

TWO SIDES... THEN THE TRUTH...

What is more important : to win an argument, or to find the truth ? What gets in the way ! The ego ? Like fear, it has so many hidden holes. We fear the unknown future, so we find a comfort zone that suites our ego and makes us feel good and build a life around the comfort zone....we crawl into it and refuse to be moved from it. Our fears crush our life experiences, it blinds us to the bigger picture, we don't even want to know the truth because it disturbs our comfort zone.

WHAT IS LIFE ABOUT ? WHY DO WE HAVE A LIFE ? 

When we want to go on holiday, we choose a destination, see what we need to take with and prepare for it.....why not with life ? Surely it too is a route through to another destination ? Why do so many of us find a comfort zone in which to hide ? Fear is probably our biggest obstacle to life....maybe our entire outlook on life is completely wrong ????? Maybe we should find our destination first, set it in place and then find the various routes and passages taking us there without trapping us in any false 'zones ', etc.....we do what we need to without becoming attached to it,the main purpose being to get to our destination without any strings attached, enjoying every part of the journey.....©

UNKNOWN FEARS

FEARS 

Fearing the unexpected is like fearing the unknown.....it's a barrier that blocks our view and keeps us trapped in FEAR.  Once we get passed the fear factor, we find the truth where there is no fear. It's like a flower bud, every truth opens another petal until we get to the seed pod right in the center where we find the reason and meaning of for its being......little by little we peel away the layers until the entire truth is exposed, all the time busy with an amazing discovery. When we DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.... FEAR IS LIKE AN ENORMOUS CLOUD hanging over our heads and we can't get anywhere.

THE UNEXPECTED

WE DON'T KNOW IT ALL

Short and sweet today, have been hit by a flu bug and feel like I've been hit by a truck. 

We plan our lives with so much care and precautions and preparations, but through it all we need to remain flexible and open to change. Expect the unexpected so it becomes part of daily life and does not throw us off guard......we treat the unexpected as an additional gift to explore, therefore waiting for it and expecting it.... The way we plan our life, may not be the plan our life has for us, so we can expect strange happenings from time to time....

RICHEST BILLIONAIRE

STAYING BEHIND

The greatest wealth is a clear conscience, no tails following us, each day is wrapped up, all lose ends tied up. We think of riches as money and material possessions, but don't consider how we obtain it. We forget our footprints leave a trail behind us that is forever linked to our life. The only way to remove the tracks is by coming clean, exposing every step we have taken, or it may become a hang mans noose around our neck in the future. What good is all the money in the world when no one trusts us? Dishonesty starts from very young when we play our games and cheat to win, bump the board to move the dice, or bump someone's piece off the table, etc.....we think we are very smart and clever getting away with it, BUT WE'RE NOT BECAUSE IT BECOMES PART OF OUR CHARACTER AND WE CARRY IT INTO LIFE WITH US WHERE CHEATING WILL CATCH UP TO US. We should learn the skill of the game to win in an honest, fair, honourable way as we build a pattern of behaviour and it starts with little games. We may win the game through cheating, but we have lost our honour, dignity, trustworthiness and respect. In the long run it is simply not worth it. A person who loses his honour and trustworthiness is like a leaf that has fallen from the tree, it is no longer useful for anything and becomes dust. We start cheating without even noticing or being aware of it, BUT OTHERS DO SEE IT. Promotion time comes along and others are always chosen over us and we cry out at the unfairness of life.....I WAS NEXT IN LINE.....BUT I FORGOT MY CHEATING SHINES THROUGH AND THEREFORE I AM NOT CONSIDERED RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROMOTION.....and others rise while I stay where I am. Not so nice any more, is it??? A very wealthy person is one who has peace of mind, can sleep soundly at night and can enjoy their life without any fears of being exposed because they have nothing to hide.....no money can buy rest, a clear conscience and a pure heart.....it is priceless.....©Copyright

Tomorrow.....expect the unexpected....

CHEATING STEALS FROM US

HELD BACK

Great wealth is found in peace of mind,

a conscience that's clear is hard to find,

the man that can face a storm with no fear,

knowing how to handle problems far and near.

There are certain things that money can't buy,

the values we treasure when telling no lie,

deceit and cheating have many disguises,

catching us out with nasty surprises.

We think we can hide it but it comes to abide,

forming our character as it takes us for a ride,

we become blind to its after effects,

but others see clearly and lose their respects.

We try to get ahead in this busy life,

are continually pulled back by cheating and strife,

we cry and say life is so unfair,

but have we looked what we've done with our share. ©Copyright

NO FINGER POINTING

FILLING OUR LACK

Events keep reoccurring because it wants to show us something, so we must delve into these situations and explore it properly. Once we overcome and conquer it, it goes into our experience bank for future reference and we are ready to move on. When we continually push it aside, it keeps coming back because it is part of our journey of discovery and is NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. Life is like a conveyor belt, sometimes we go to it and sometimes it comes past us....the events and situations on this conveyor stays the same through all generations, with the same tests, intensifying as we reach higher levels. We can't change the things on the belt, so we need to look elsewhere and with the right attitude we will manage each test and trial. We stop pointing fingers at the events and situations or even those bringing it to us, someone has to do the dirty work !!! WE LOOK AT OURSELVES - WE LOOK INSIDE - WE SEE WHAT WE LACK TO OVERCOME WHAT COMES OUR WAY.........IT LAYS WITH US TO CONQUER.......We can kick and scream, rant and rage, it won't change the situation.......BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE WAY WE REACT TO IT. When we search outside ourselves, we come up blank - we fund no help....WHEN WE LOOK INSIDE TO SEE WHAT WE LACK TO COPE WITH IT, WE FIND ALL THE ANSWERS. Some events require skills which we go out and develop, others require knowledge, so we go and find the knowledge. IT LAYS WITH US.....WE FAIL THE TESTS AND TRIALS BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE.....WE DON'T KNOW HOW !! NOT STUPIDITY, JUST SIMPLY IGNORANCE, WHICH CAN BE RECTIFIED. WE FAIL, THEN BLAME THE EVENT OR SITUATION AND THIS IS WHEN WE FALL INTO A RUT AND DARK HOLE FROM WHICH WE CAN'T ESCAPE AND IT DROWNS US IN SORROWS AND MISERY. The moment WE BECOME ACTIVE and acquire the knowledge or skill WE BREAK INTO THE LIGHT, GAIN THE VALUABLE EXPERIENCE AND GET TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. This is the birth of wisdom. .  take a situation, find OUR LACK, build up our skills and knowledge, overcome and conquer it and store the experience....we now have the wisdom to deal with it and can and will overcome any trial or test. Now when it comes around again, we can truly say :"been there, done that, moved on," and it passes by. THIS IS IN OUR CONTROL.....SO WE ALWAYS FIRST SEEK THE LACK IN OURSELVES AND RECTIFY THAT AND OUR PROBLEMS WILL VANISH.....©Copyright

Tomorrow......richest billionaire.....

POINTING THE FINGER AT OURSELVES

CONQUERING TRIALS

Life is a conveyor belt that keeps on  turning,

taking us along as our lives keep on burning,

we can kick and scream, rant and rage,

but none of it helps to turn the page.

We must look within to find the reason,

why we can't cope with the worldly treason,

we need to search for what we lack,

to get our lives back on the track.

Circumstances we cannot change

the way we react we can rearrange,

we gain the knowledge to overcome,

we learn the skills with which to run.

It's the lack in us we need to fix,

learn what to take and how to mix,

become equipped to pass any test,

conquer the trials as we do our best. ©Copyright

ENTRUSTED WITH EXPERIENCES

SELECTED AND CHOSEN

When all sort of trials and tribulations come our way, don't cry and complain as this leads to hopelessness and depression, rather be exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to gain experience, something no man can ever take from us. We have been counted worthy enough to test - what an honour !!! But....are we going to succeed or fail??? Are we equipped to overcome the trials? NO - WE ARE NOT - NONE OF US ARE!! So what do we do now? All of us that have gone through trials and testing know full well that running from pillar to post trying to find answers and guidance is a fools paradise. Everyone has something to add which normally takes us even deeper into the maze of confusion and fear.....from the frying pan into the fire. We try what others say and it simply doesn't work for us, because we are all so  different. Our outlook is different, our emotions are different, our background, understanding and experiences are different. THERE IS NO MAN THAT CAN TRULY HELP US. Once again, we are back to the needle in a haystack, if we know what to look for - WE FIND IT, BUT WE MUST FIRST IDENTIFY IT. We look back on all the wasted days, weeks and years of our lives taking detour after detour following others advice, getting nowhere... what a waste of time and effort. SO WHAT DO WE DO??? We first seek the headquarters and source of all knowledge and wisdom - which is contained within the kingdom of God......all secrets and mysteries, all true knowledge and wisdom, all answers and paths are found here. The Kingdom of God is obtaining the Spirit of God which opens the portals into all we will ever need and connecting directly, without a middleman incorrectly conveying the messages.... a direct connection to the source of all knowledge. Now....don't take my word for it and don't argue it UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND TESTED IT WITHIN YOUR OWN LIFE. COMMIT YOUR SPIRIT.....WITH YOUR MOUTH YOU CONFESS AND WITH YOUR HEART YOU BELIEVE.....SAY :"I COMMIT MY SPIRIT INTO JESUS HANDS AND I ASK FOR THE CONNECTION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN". BE BAPTISED INTO THE SPIRIT and then cooperate by using this connection....whenever in doubt, ASK FOR GUIDANCE and the spirit will awaken a thought in the mind and direct our eyes to the right knowledge or book or page and will clarify the answer to our question. IT ALWAYS WORKS WHEN WE USE IT.  Life becomes far less complicated when we get the right answers in between the masses of written books. Now we have gained the right experience, store it in our experiences chambers and move on to the next test. We always use love as a measuring line....will it cause harm or hurt? If so DON'T DO IT....IT WILL COME BACK TO US.....©Copyright

Tomorrow...filling our lack.....

BLESSED WITH EXPERIENCE

COUNTED WORTHY

Trials and tests bring confusion and fears,

leading onto paths of regrets and tears,

this needn't be the case at all,

if only we'd heed to divinities call.

Counted worthy to go through trials and tribulations,

is indeed an honour as we conquer all situations,

the right guidance is needed for what we seek,

unravelling the mysteries that make us so weak.

The source of all knowledge lays in our connection,

joining to the Spirit of Light for our direction,

our experiences in life will be filled with joy,

as truth and honour is what we deploy.

We use Godly love as a measuring line,

which always stands the test of time,

life becomes an incredible ride,

as we find all mysteries that secretly hide.

WISDOM SMILES UPON US

STOREHOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE

Why is this connection so important to us? We need to travel this earthly journey in such a manner as NOT TO BECOME ENTANGLED, SNARED AND TRAPPED IN IT. We should be able to go in and out of any situation with freedom of movement. To be able to achieve this, we need sufficient knowledge and to see the bigger picture, further and wider than the experience gained by the body. When we try and do this by using only our spirit and the worldly spiritual knowledge, it is like being held in a cocoon and we can only see that in front of us. We need to burst free from the cocoon like a butterfly and fly out and beyond it and this WE CAN DO WHEN CONNECTING TO THE DIVINE SPIRIT OF GOD, which reaches beyond our earth. Man is the only being in creation that has free will, that can make choices as to what he wants to do with his life. Our problems in life don't stem from the hardware....the body, but...from the software, the knowledge on which we base our decisions. As we are not alone on this earth but share it with plants, nature, animals, an atmosphere, etc, surely our decisions should include all of it, so we can benefit without any thing else having to suffer. To be able to include it all, we need to understand the bigger picture, how it all fits together, but how can we possibly  know everything about creation in one short lifetime? We need a short cut from where we can draw this knowledge as and when we need it. This is why we have access to the Divine Spirit, which is the soul of all life on earth, as a helping hand and guide to consider all the consequences of our decisions. A recap: we will ourselves to commit our spirit into Gods hand, to be joined to the soul of creation and be sealed by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit will then guide our spirit to the right sources from which to draw our knowledge and wisdom. This enables us to see where we are in the bigger picture, benefitting us as well as the rest of creation. This enables us to move forward all the time without becoming entangled with debts of repairing what we destroyed before we can move on. We become far more AWARE of our surroundings and the effects our deeds have on the rest of creation and we start caring more. IN MY VIEW, ALL EVENTS HAPPEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENABLING US TO FILL WHAT WE LACK AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE EXPLORED TO ITS FULL EXTENT, ONCE WE HAVE UNCOVERED ALL THERE IS TO UNCOVER, THE NEXT EVENT APPEARS.......WHEN WE IGNORE IT, IT KEEPS REOCCURRING, HOLDING US BACK FROM MOVING FORWARD, ALWAYS BACKTRACKING.....©Copyright

Tomorrow......entrusted with experiences...

NO FEAR

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

We've been here before but that's quite okay,

as it's so important to our earthly stay,

there's nothing wrong with our hardware body,

it's in the software where we go all moggy.

We're trapped in a cocoon with limited space,

struggling to cope with the things we must face,

we've got to escape like a butterfly free

so we can become what we're meant to be.

The Spirit of God gives us wings to fly,

escape from the traumas that make us cry,

see the bigger picture where all can survive,

find the right paths on which to strive.

Freedom of movement is what we receive,

seeing the traps that snare and deceive,

with eyes that are clear we see far and near,

always moving forward without any fear.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

RISING ABOVE CIRCUMSTANCES

It is not circumstances  that affect us, it is the way we react to it that does, so even if we moved away each time, it's not going to help because our reactions move with us. So our problem is not external but within us. How can we ever live life if we first have to check everything? How is it possible that children are not 100% protected from all forms of abuse and violence? How is it possible that porn, sex, violence, evil and wickedness is permitted on TV's in homes where children are present or anywhere in public for that matter? How can we see with clarity when we are defiled as children? More often than not there is far more than meets the eye, we see the surface, but not the underlaying currents to make any sense of it all. Our human perspective is restricted to what the brain can perceive which us normally only what can be seen, touched, smelt, etc.....all physical, visible attributes. To find what we need to know to succeed in life, we need to go far, far deeper then the physical. This is where spiritual enlightenment plays its vital role. I believe we all have our 'human' spirit which gives us life, enables us to use our functions, like breathing, thinking, growing physically and mentally, reasoning, etc, but we are still limited to what we see, hear, read and experience, which have an impact on our outlook on life. What we read is written by other humans from their perspective and understanding. Just like the internet that connects us to the world - but only if we are connected, so too there is the all knowing center of all knowledge through the divine spiritual soul connecting us to the the full view of all things, not another human perspective, but the real truth...... but also only when we are connected. Within this connection lays ALL THE SECRETS, MYSTERIES, ANSWERS TO EVERY THING EVER CREATED GIVING US THE FULL VIEW - TOTALLY IMPARTIAL - THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. To find this connection is the MOST VITAL PART OF OUR EXISTENCE, it is only through this that we can ever become truly complete as was intended with our creation.........complete in spirit, soul, mind, heart and being, seeing the full picture, all the paths, all the ways in and more importantly out of situations, almost like a map.....©Copyright

Tomorrow......Getting connected......

SEEING WITH THE INNER EYE

BIRDS EYE VIEW

How can we fly up high in the sky,

look down upon life with wisdoms eye,

how can we read between the lines,

when we don't know what it truly defines.

How will we find the underlaying currents,

when we're unconnected to wisdoms torrents,

the greatest gift that on man is bestowed,

is the Spirit of Divinity that by us can be owned.

How will we ever become any wiser,

when the worldly knowledge acts like a miser,

it withholds the truth we desperately need,

as it constantly feeds it own hungry greed.

We need to connect to divinities channel,

carefully study the instruction manual,

go to the place where all wisdom is hidden,

so we from our ignorance can be ridden.

PEEPING OUT FROM THE DARK TUNNEL

WHAT ARE SPIRITUAL FORCES

In a non scientific view spiritual forces are what controls and influences our thoughts and actions, our emotional being, our indwelling spirit. It lives within our body of flesh, is united with the flesh, BUT IT IS NOT THE FLESH , is is more like our personality, the real us. This is merely my view from where I am sitting at present and differ for us all. What affects our spirits? When we are in nature or calm surroundings, our spirits are calm and content, when between rushing, fighting, screaming and arguing, we are deeply disturbed to the point of feeling ill. Why is this? Is it the energy and vibes it ends out? Words are just words, so what gives it the force to upset us so drastically? Is it the meaning behind the words, or the manner in which they are conveyed? Why would it hurt us and disturb our spirits? Is it because we don't know who we are? When we do know who we are and what we are insults fly past us, it doesn't affect us simply because the shoe doesn't fit, we don't own it, we don't accept it !!!! We know it's the rantings of someone's anger spilling over and has nothing at all to do with us and we remain calm through such storms. When someone deliberately or through uncontrollable fits of rage insult and hurt us by cursing and swearing and WE ALLOW IT INTO OUR MINDS AND BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY....IT STARTS A CHAIN REACTION OF HURT, DEPRESSION, CONFUSION LEADING TO ANGER AND RAGE.    FRUITS OF DARKNESS SIMPLY BECAUSE WE ALLOW IT ENTRANCE INTO OUR LIVES BEING SUCKED INTO THIS CIRCLE WHERE MISUSE AND ABUSE IS THE NORM, WE GET HURT WE GIVE HURT AND THESE ARE THE FORCES OF DARKNESS CONTROLLING US AND HOLDING US CAPTIVE. THIS TO ME ARE THE FORCES OF DARKNESS WHICH ARE USED BY PEOPLE WITHIN THESE CIRCLES TURNING FAMILIES AGAINST EACH OTHER, NATIONS AGAINST EACH OTHER BY SPREADING GOSSIP, SLANDER, ANGER AND HATRED. AND.......ALL THIS IS WITHIN OUR REACH TO CHANGE...WE HAVE THE POWER TO REFUSE AND WALK ON THE PATHS OF LOVE. THE MOMENT WE DECIDE IT'S ENOUGH AND REMOVE OURSELVES FROM THIS CONTINUOUS CIRCLE OF DARK EMOTIONS AND STOP RETURNING IT, we start drawing away from the people using it on each other and find ourselves on different paths. IT IS UP TO US TO DRAW THE LINE AND STOP ALLOWING THE DARKNESS OF HATRED AND REVENGE TO DICTATE TO US. WE CAN ONLY BE LED INTO WARS AND FIGHTING WHEN THERE IS ANGER AND HATRED LIVING INSIDE US.....THE FORCES OF DARKNESS. A HAPPY, CONTENTED, PEACEFUL MAN CAN'T MAKE WAR.... BECAUSE WAR IS DARKNESS AND HAPPINESS IS LIGHT. FIND A NEW ROUTE, FIND A NEW CROWD TO MIX WITH, SEPARATE YOUR SELF FROM THE SITUATIONS OF HATRED AND LET LOVE BE THE GUIDE YOU FOLLOW.....THE FORCE OF LIGHT AND SEE HOW LIFE CHANGES COMPLETELY.....©Copyright
