GLUTTONY.....SIXTH DEADLY SIN

FEED OUR LACK

How does one define gluttony? Greed? For what? Possessions, money, praise, power or food? At times people travel long roads without sustenance, so when they receive a meal, they have quite a bit of catching up to do, which is genuine hunger and not gluttony. Where does gluttony derive from.......is it a REACTION towards a previous lack that we experienced leaving us traumatised? A child raised in financial poverty can never get enough money, it is like an obsession to never suffer poverty again . Once again gluttony is a fruit off the tree of insecurity. It is the fear of being without that causes the gluttony. This is a result of an unbalanced life....where we haven't found an equilibrium between physical and spiritual, sometimes the emotional side is so damaged, we don't want to go back in there to sort it out, we rather ignore it and pretend it is not there. A spiritually empty person leans on material possessions to fill that gap. Instead of punishing them for their lack, why not show them how to balance life with spiritual values bringing emotional stability which allows for contentment in all circumstances and there will be no more need for greed and gluttony because they will realize life is not about what we possess, but about filling ourselves, developing and completing our journey with our virtues and values in tact.....the rest is only for temporary convince....

ROOT OF GREED

SPIRITUAL BALANCE

Years of poverty and hardship cut very deep,

even haunting us when we lay and sleep,

we work very hard to escape its claws,

but the damage in our hearts remains in its jaws.

We find a job and save for rainy days,

life has crushed us in so many ways,

the users in life have broken our trust,

trying to make sense of all that's unjust.

We have a hunger that is never filled,

a part of us that seems to be killed,

from observation it would appear as greed,

but this gluttony has roots in a far deeper seed.

We need to find some spiritual balance,

bringing peaceful calmness into our reliance,

to find the treasures of joyful serenity,

the fullness and pleasures of tranquil divinity.

COVETOUSNESS

EVIL SEED

Once again, keep your eyes pure and look not upon others but within.....all we need is stored inside, in the form of seed or it won't fit in.....it is massive....our abilities... Once we find the seeds by looking within, we plant them, tend them, and allow then to grow into our talents and abilities........ providing us with all we want and need, and we will be so busy growing and becoming complete, we'll never have the time to covet what others have, besides we will be content and happy with our continuous progress, we would have no desire to covet. 

WHO COVETS WHAT OTHERS HAVE????

THE IDLE....who have the time....

THE LAZY...who are not willing to put the work in but still want and want...

THE LOST...who lend their eyes and ears out to the lures and temptations of Satan.

Covetousness again is a small seed which grows in a very ugly plant of jealousy, envy, greed, theft, even murder as fruits that it bears. To desire with the eyes is one thing, but when it leads to an action it leads onto the paths of death, it opens many doors of destruction and degradation....

PURE EYES LAY NOT ON ANOTHER MANS POSSESSIONS

DON'T CROSS THAT LINE....IT IS NOT YOURS... DO NOT TOUCH, NOT EVEN WITH YOUR EYES...

Keep your eyes pure and do not covet,

it's a tiny seed that becomes an evil deed,

do not look at what others possess,

it will awaken jealousy and cause you to obsess.

The seed of covetousness grows into an evil tree,

stealing our lives and all we can be,

bearing fruits of envy, greed, even thefts and lies,

it leads us into crime as our soul slowly dies.

Keep your eyes pure and look within,

you will find your talents that truth will bring,

everybody is blessed with all they ever need,

if we reach within and plant the right seed.

As we grow and develop our success becomes clear,

we never covet what another holds dear,

it is off limits and we don't cross that line,

we find other things to make us feel fine.

DEVASTATION OF ANGER

HEAL THE PAIN

What is anger but the fruit of pain, disappointment, frustration, abuse and the likes - it is a result, a REACTION, and becomes like a tunnel of a hour glass.....it collects all the pain and troubles which are squeezed into the tunnel of anger and spews out enormous rage and destruction on the other side when it can no longer be controlled, once again spreading a mass of pain seeds as insults and curses fly all over the place. It causes enormous damage to relationships in homes, businesses, and even between nations. A better way is to expose the pain, the source of the pain, the reasons for the pain and heal the pain through understanding how it works and why it affects us the way it does and stop spreading it further and further through anger. So many people are hurt without anyone INTENTIONALLY OR INTENDING TO HURT THEM.....WHY DOES IT HURT YOU....HOW DOES IT GET TO YOU????? WE ARE HURT BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONS, ESPECIALLY MEN....WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW OUR EMOTIONS, WHICH IS UTTER RUBBISH, WHEN WE UNDERSTAND HOW EMOTIONS WORK AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM, THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO HURT US AND WE HAVE OVERCOME AND CONQUERED THEM.....

DESTRUCTIVE ANGER

BURNT TO ASHES

Anger and rage burn emotions to ashes,

violence and destruction viciously lashes,

cursing and swearing stab like a knife,

fueling the fires of devastating strife.

The fruit of pain that sucks us down the drain,

in deep darkness where there is no gain,

it turns in circles over and over,

the wicked prisons of crimson and clover.

Enormous damage it brings to relations,

even instigating wars between nations,

it always leaves behind its destruction,

as we refuse understandings instruction.

We are hurt because we cannot cope,

becoming confused and losing all hope,

there are so many things to understand,

as we travel on our journeys across the land.

THE TERRIBLE GREEN MONSTER LURKING UNSEEN

ENVY

Envy and jealousy is a terrible green monster, eating us away like cancer. Most envy breeds from lack of gratitude....

When we SEE what we DO HAVE and not what others have. When we SEE what capabilities and talents WE have and not what others achieve. When we SEE what WE need to do the achieve......THEN WE START MOVING FORWARD.....Every person has a different talent and when we develop our OWN talents we become the best we can be and THEN WE HAVE NO NEED TO ENVY OTHERS  It is idleness that gives us the time to see what others have, when we are busy we don't have the time. Most of us have eyes that see, ears that hear, mouths that can speak, arms and legs that are operational and a thinking brain and with this the ability to develop skills to bring us what we require in life. To have a family and or friends is far more important than diamonds and gold. When our priorities are sorted, we reach our full potential.....all this HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OTHERS, OR WHAT THEY ACHIEVE, OR WHAT THEY POSSESS.....WE ARE NOT HERE TO COMPARE OURSELVES. WITH OTHERS, BUT TO FIND OUR JOY, HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT WITHIN THE ABILITIES THAT WE DO HAVE.

NASTY, UGLY, MEAN JEALOUSY

FATEFUL ENVY

Why do we look at what others enjoy,

when we can develop skills and abilities to deploy,

why do we envy another mans success,

when we too can continually progress.

How do we even know the next mans possessions,

unless covetousness is feeding our obsessions,

idleness always breeds much contempt,

as jealousy eats us away and won't relent.

When we look and see what WE possess,

gratitude will take away all our stress,

when we look and see what WE need to do,

we will find prosperous paths which to pursue.

We all have hidden talents within,

when fully developed its fruits it will bring,

blessed with healthy bodies and capabilities,

we can surround ourselves with joys and tranquility.

LUST....ALL SORTS OF LUST.....

DESIRE OVERRULES MORALS

Lust travels far deeper than merely actions. Sex, for example....it opens the door into family, into a home and onto our children. As humans are created as emotional beings , marriage was given for two VIRGINS to unite as one, not only for marriage purposes but to keep them pure from disease and give their children a safe family environment in which to grow up where both parents are always there. Also for emotional purposes....to prevent their hearts being broken, which causes emotional turmoil, anger, rage, revenge, and a mass of extremely detrimental actions, destroying their souls and darkening their minds. It causes an enormous amount of damage that the spills on the children, friends, colleagues, and all those around them causing a chain reaction...and keeps spreading....it starts with the eyes - looking upon nudity of others, the property of others, the talents of others, the outer beauty of others, the title of others, etc, etc.....igniting the list which lead to the actions that we later become ashamed of. There are many lusts :list for riches, money, beauty, title, houses, cars, fancy clothes and jewels, position and the list continues....all starting with the eyes causing us to do many underhand things which we know are wrong to obtain what we list for, but we think no one will ever know.... But we know and that is enough for our conscience to condemn us. That is what places us in captivity and what leads tod to death.... Imprisonment in darkness...that is what death means....imprisonment..  

Our LUSTS SHOULD NEVER, NEVER OVER SHADOW OUR MORALS, VIRTUES AND VALUES....NEVER.....THIS IS WHERE WE DRAW A VERY DEFINITE LINE.....AND DO NOT CROSS IT....

PASSAGES OF LUST

REPLACING EMOTIONS

Lust begins when desire is awoken,

often leading to morals that are broken,

it starts with the eye and things in sight,

luring the mind and heart into flight.

We become so obsessed for earthy gain,

we do whatever it takes even causing pain,

we cross the lines of values and virtues,

opening the doors to greater issues.

We become involved with dishonest gain,

we do underhand things that cause others pain,

it darkens our minds so we lose our way,

then make excuses to save the day.

NUMBER ONE OF THE DEADLY SINS : PRIDE

FOLLY OF PRIDE

Let's start with pride. ....when we become so self important that we don't need anyone else because we can do everything on our own, we become very arrogant without realizing it, we become very unpleasant to be around. We think we are better and bigger and smarter than everyone, looking down upon them and belittling left, right and centre....we think we rule our roost, have everything under control, we have the final say and nothing and no one is more important than us and our satisfaction, getting our own way all the time, without ever considering other people, their feelings, their emotions, their point of view..... None of that is important.. For most of us we go through this, but it is only a stage in our lives and we soon realize that life is far bigger than us and we really are not so different from others. That at times we do need help, advice, counselling, guidance, direction, even companionship.....pride is a massive Achilles heel in life because it makes us extremely vulnerable to human praise and glory. We think we stand on our own and we are so great and we have achieved so much and are not able to see how we have been manipulated into believing it was all our own doing, because that is how they operate, wanting us to believe we are super human. We are then easily swayed by titles, praise, glory, honour, money, position, all the little fruits of pride driving us into a situation of isolation. We feed our pride and ego with human praise and acknowledgement of our successes proudly displaying our efforts for all to see, in everything we do, we do it to impress others without even realizing it. Now....why would we need this? What is pride? What is its root? INSECURITY? LACK OF WORTH DUE TO CHILDHOOD TRAUMAS CAUSING US TO SEEK PRAISE AND HIDING BEHIND THIS SHIELD OF PRIDE? SO IN FACT PRIDE IS A FLAW AND A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW AT THAT..... BECAUSE WE ARE SO FULL OF OURSELVES, WE HAVE BUILT SUCH A WALL OF FALSE PROTECTION AROUND US THAT WE ARE TOTALLY BLIND TO ALL THE TRAPS WE FALL INTO....AND OUR ARROGANCE SILENCES ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TRY AND HELP US.....

SUCKER CALLED PRIDE

HIDDEN INSECURITY

Pride is a sucker for many manipulators,

praise is like putty in the hand of the masters,

they add a little glory as they use mans pride,

as a front and a cover under which to hide.

The man of pride boasts about his achievements,

flaunting and flashing his many agreements,

he is far too inflated to see the mighty traps,

until it brings him to a fall as it enraps.

Is this just insecurity hidden by a shield,

childhood abuse to which they no longer yield,

what is the lack that they need to feed,

for pride and arrogance to grow from its seed.

Pride is in fact a very dangerous flaw,

it lands us in the path of a vicious claw,

we are used and lured into positions of power,

except we're only puppets in the ivory tower.

HOW TO RELEASE THE FOREFATHERS

KEYS OF ESCAPE

WORDS are the keys which unlock emotions, which bring about anger, revenge, hatred and actions, which in turn bring reactions and gets the ball rolling like a pendulum.....backwards and forwards....coming and going....bringing and taking....continuously.... WORDS are also the keys of escape. They open the right doors and shut the wrong doors. In our human capacity it is not possible to know which words to use in every situation and then open our mouths causing destructive repercussions fueling the fires of misunderstandings and rage leading to our eventual captivity. This is one of the reason we need a 24/7 guide within us to give us the right words at the right time and with this connection we will open all the right doors with words spoken and shut all the wrong ones. This goes for releasing those in captivity, including our forefathers and ourselves. One of the major doors is judgement..... seeking only the plank in your own eye prevents any attacks and defense upon us because we own up to our own flaws but also don't allow it to be used against us as only God can be our judge....using the sword, which is the word of God in our defense....this is a spiritual release as this is a spiritual warfare and is done with the help of the Holy Spirit......

RELEASING CAPTIVES WITH THE POWER OF WORDS

WORDS ARE KEYS

Words are the keys which unlock emotions,

deep seated feelings that cause commotions,

a gentle word turns anger away,

opens the paths to brighten each day.

Words ignite many actions and deeds,

bringing us trouble with evil seeds,

it can also shut the evil outside,

cast it away so we don't need to hide.

Words can take us captive and hold us under,

destroy our lives and rip our hearts asunder,

gossip spreads like raging fires,

adding little tails with evil desires.

Words can also bring us spiritual relief,

unlock prisons of darkness that cause us grief,

with our tongue we confess Jesus is Lord,

with our heart we believe nothing can break that cord.

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME AND SURVIVE

Part of this wild game called life is knowing which lines not to cross - some things we can get away with, some rules we can bend and even break, some things we can ignore.....BUT.....SOME LINES WE CANNOT CROSS WITHOUT SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.......There are the SEVEN DEADLY SINS/CARDINAL SINS....AND THE THINGS INVOLVED WITH THEM......

PRIDE : arrogance, self importance, etc

LUST : sexual immorality, perversions, etc

ENVY: jealousy, spite, revenge, etc

COVETOUSNESS: desire,injustices,theft,etc

GLUTTONY: greed, selfishness, etc

ANGER: violence, aggression, fighting, etc

SLOTH: laziness, lethargy, lack of interest, etc.

There are also the seven gates to the river of death. All these things we know nothing about, yet, the knowledge is there when we seek it, hidden under the rubble of life, the emptiness of material gain at the cost of love, happiness and emotional contentment ....but all those that know this and can tell us have already been trapped, so after we have been destroyed by the emptiness of this meaningless life, we have to search for it, but most of us are so destroyed and so tired and so afraid that we simply give in and follow the patterns of the system, we just don't have the strength to fight back because it is a continuous fight, it never stops....it is every day...but rather that than be trapped and be forced to hurt our own....we are so ill equipped to handle this life, and it seems by the time we reach an educational age there are no living people left to teach us...we all land in the hands of the system, which does not inform us of these things. This is why there are nursery rhymes and poems, etc....the knowledge we need to escape and be free is hidden within the words for us to find before it is too late for us too....BUT THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND TO TELL US THIS....BUT NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD.... SO LET'S GET WISE AND BEAT THE SYSTEM WITH THE TRUTH....AND HELP TO RELEASE OUR FOREFATHERS.......... INSTEAD OF CARRYING THE SINS OF THE FATHERS AND BEING PUNISHED FOR THINGS WE NEVER DID, LET'S FIND THE TRUTH TO RELEASE THE FOREFATHERS AND SET THEM FREE.......AMEN.....

WHO IS WITH ME.....

BEATING THE SYSTEM

RESCUING OUR ELDERS

Before the elders are swallowed by the dark,

they leave us what they know to set off a spark,

hidden in nursery rhymes and poems,

for us to seek and bring into our homes.

Before we can understand they are taken away,

so there's no one to tell us to seek every day,

before the artificial system took over,

and divided the world into a four leafed clover.

But now we know to seek for the messages,

reading between the lines of the passages,

when we can overcome the artificial systems,

we can release all our elders from their prisons.

We can destroy the enslavement through the truth,

reestablish the virtues and values of worth,

we stand our ground and refuse to cross lines,

even if it means we have to pay their silly fines.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN LIFE... REALLY IMPORTANT

What we need to know is what life is about. What makes us tick and get around. Parents teach the manners of the home , that which is expected as per culture and race. School teaches the ways of the world forcing us into boxes where we don't belong. The truth of life is growing from a seed into a tree that brings forth fruit. Fruit that is good and opens the doors to the continuous journeys ahead. To achieve this we follow the indwelling gifts which makes us complete as an individual human being fulfilling our purpose on this earth - developing every talent within us, trying all things that do not cause harm to us or others, and learning to gain abilities to overcome all obstacles in life. How can we ever fulfill this when forced into a system where we become slaves of a materialistic world always serving others?  Everything is within us but in the form of seed - we need to develop these seeds to grow and become complete..... No one else can do it for us....it's all in our hands....to get out of the systems that drags everyone into the grave and make our life work......

MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

HERDED INTO BOXES

There's a universal consciousness so they say,

but how will it work when no one knows the way,

we don't even know why we are here,

continuously lost and living in fear.

We are like seeds that must grow and bear fruit,

for seeds to grow and develop they need food,

the food is the gifts wrapped up within,

the underdeveloped talents that are crying to sing.

Instead of being trapped in cultures and systems,

let's rather unveil our talents and rhythms,

take those seeds and plant them deep,

nurture and feed them so they can keep.

They grow and and fill our lives with treasure,

joy and happiness bring delightful pleasure,

as talents develop we become complete,

filling our lives with the fruits that we reap.

SYSTEM SLAVERY

CONTROLLED EDUCATION

Once children are swallowed into the system, some from just after birth, or at 4 years old, the human destruction begins.... breaking them down into nothing and reshaping them into how the system wants them to become......concentrating on the "mentally sharp" children who excel in studies or the physically strong who excel in sport. No one looks at individual development of each child for their best achievements. The mentally slow and physically weak are all but ignored and pushed to the side, no one has time to bother with them, which is about 90% if not more. Only certain ones are "selected" and given all the training to fit into the slavery of the system, under the disguise of fancy titles and financial gain....the next batch of "leaders", totally obeying the system for financial reward never even thinking any deeper about what they are doing....THE REAL COMPANY MAN....OBEYING WITHOUT QUESTION BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST FOR THE COMPANY....REGARDLESS OF MORALS, VIRTUES OR VALUES.....A TOTAL DEATH TRAP......

Whether they care or not is irrelevant as the system dictates what each job must do....or you're out and lose your fancy title, your big bucks, the house and car....and will never find another job in that field...you are totally shut out...... So against your better judgement you continue with the wrongs required in this game. A few strike out and make it in the world, but the greatest majority remain " the masses". The masses to be used and twisted and turned into new directions each day, never getting forward, never getting anywhere in life....always living on the promises and lies and deceit of others....just the useless masses. Instead of training each individual to achieve where he/she is suited, creating a magnificent operational engine of life, where each individual can and will achieve with what they are capable of and that is what brings contentment, happiness and joy.  Yet the majority is neglected to the downfall of the whole.

SYSTEMATIC IMPRISONMENT

THE CREAM AND THE DROSS

All children are swallowed by education,

controlled and shaped to become a nation,

the mentally sharp are pushed to the fore,

given attention and ways to explore.

The physically fit become the sport stars,

lifted and exalted with names on bars,

the rest are pretty much just ignored,

to find their own way as those deplored.

There's no individual search for talent,

so many gifts lay undiscovered and latent,

every single child can excel at something,

if someone will take the trouble to start at nothing.

All have seeds of abilities planted within,

but seeds need water so fruits it can bring,

when no one finds it and makes it grow,

it remains just a seed that never glows.

MYSTERIOUS FORCES

SLAVES OF A SYSTEM

These days life has become so commercialised and almost military in nature, conditioning the children as they are forced into preschool at four years old, long before they can have any opinions on life and "broken in". Any sense of individuality is removed and stripped from them as they are herded into a system of sameness and slavery, regardless of inbuilt talents and abilities.... all of that is squashed out of them. Many children already go into this system soon after birth, due to the economic climate we live in where both parents, if there is both parents and not just the mothers, have to go out and work and there is no one to care for the child, so they are just passed on. So, from very young they are already following two paths, but different from the previous, these paths are a double life....one at school and a totally different life at home. The system is forever pulling the children away from the parents and teach nothing about the " other forces" being the spiritual path, which very much rules the world as it rules the emotions of man. These spiritual forces operate continuously whether we believe it or not. It is like the children are turned against their own families.... parents and brothers or sisters, causing a deep chasm and distancing them making them slaves of an unhealthy system. These "mysterious forces" which are basically good or evil, are ripping out the children's hearts, ripping out the families hearts, misleading and misguiding them all with all sorts of motives.

Education is very important, BUT...THE RIGHT EDUCATION......THE EDUCATION THAT BRINGS OUT THE BEST OF EACH INDIVIDUAL CHILD AND DOESN'T FORCE THEM ALL INTO ONE MOLD CAUSING ENORMOUS FRUSTRATION AND UNHAPPINESS LEADING TO REBELLION WHICH IS THEN CHANNELLED INTO DESTRUCTION TURNING INTO DESTRUCTION OF THE SELF.......

FORCES OF DESTRUCTION

PUPPETS OF REBELLION

From birth into school to form and shape,

military conditioning teaching children to break,

they're "broken in" and stripped of their identity,

forced into patterns without any remedy.

They live separate lives between school and family,

an unhealthy system destroying humanity,

they all have to fall into patterns of behaviour,

destroying individual talent they are meant to savour.

Then there is still the "mysterious forces",

which basically have good or evil sources,

trapping the young in this unhealthy system,

is not the education to promote humanism.

Children shouldn't be estranged from their family,

school should be an extension of family values,

using solid families to build up a nation,

is the backbone of any generation.

TWO PARALLEL PATHS

PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BALANCE

We have a physical path to travel that no one can escape, we have to eat, need shelter and money to do this, so we need a physical job to see to these needs. At the same time we have a spiritual journey that travels hand in hand with our physical journey.......except..... Very few are even aware of this very important fact in life. They become snared and ask "how did this happen?" .....ignorance and unawareness of the importance of a clear conscience and an upright attitude to life. Virtues and values are part and parcel of our physical journey and is in fact our spiritual journey. Both tracks of a railway line have to be equally strong and developed or the train will derail.......this is where we are meant to draw the line.....Any material possession that requires you to sacrifice your morals and virtues is unacceptable and you pass it ....because this is where the mess starts, the darkness enters and the sorrows and torment begin their destructive journey in your life......taking us on the paths of injustice and revenge, the ever turning circle..... It is not worth it......

the mysterious "forces" ruling the world....

HEADS OR TAILS

BALANCED LIFE

Our lives run on two parallel paths,

like a railway line there are no halves,

both tracks must be there or the train will roll,

veer off the track and lose total control.

Our lives are like the railway train,

our paths run through the sun and rain,

we need two tracks to keep our balance,

walk on paths that don't lead to reliance.

We have to walk in the material ways,

provide for the physical through all our days,

the other path is our spiritual worth,

which we never sell out for earthly mirth.

Both run parallel like railway lines,

both need equal attention throughout our lives,

unless they're balanced our lives derail,

as we're tossed and turned like head and tails.

WAYS OF LIFE

KEEP CIRCLING OR MOVING AHEAD

Generation after generation we find the same cycles repeating themselves over and over again, never getting anywhere, never changing things, the same old same old over and over again.......we see injustices of today becoming the revenge of tomorrow, which once again become the injustices of the day bringing about the next shift of revenge and no one gets any further....

Then we find the few individuals who look to the future, who refuse to be caught in these senseless, endless circles and come out of the gutters and ghetto's of aimless destruction and revenge through purpose and determination, placing their goals in front of them and working and practising daily on improving their skills to achieve their aims and they are the ones who succeed, who always move forward, who always have a door opening when another shuts on them. We have to make a deliberate choice and then add the extra effort to work towards our goals and not join those wasting their precious time grovelling in the injustices and revenge games. It is here where the light shines and shows us the way.....OR.....where the darkness swallows us and takes us down...... OUR OWN CHOICE......CHOOSE RIGHT AND MOVE FORWARD ALL THE TIME.....

ROTTING IN STAGNANCY

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

Out of each generation a few shine brightly,

managing to escape a life that's unsightly,

where most of the crowd are trapped in repetition,

of injustices and revenge as if it's a competition.

The cycles repeat themselves over and over again,

as revenge brings injustices with sorrow and pain

causing more revenge and back to injustices,

and so they swop places with evil practices.

A few individuals look to a future,

a life of beauty and joy to nurture,

they turn away from the crowds on their own paths,

striving for a better life where there is peace and laughs.

From out of emotional ghettos they rise,

from out of financial gutters they strive,

with purpose and determination follow their goals,

daily reaching their aims lifting them from their holes.

CRIME = LACK OF RESPECT

CHILDHOOD NEGLECT

Crime is a fruit that carries more seed. From what kind of tree will this fruit fall? Crime is disrespect of a fellow human being, to lie, steal, abuse, destroy others or what they build or have worked for is disrespecting that person. Why does one have more than the other, is it because they work harder, save more, are better trained? SO WHERE DOES ALL THIS LEAD? TO NEGLECT....A TREE OF NEGLECT BEARING FRUIT OF ANGER, DISRESPECT, NEED AND CRIME. Two children are born, same hour, same day, same place.....one is nourished with love, attention, care, being taught appreciation and gratitude, building skills to acquire what they desire in an honest hard working manner, earning every little thing they gather together. This tree bears good fruit...honesty, joy, caring, compassion and good things.  The other child is neglected, unloved, untrained, idle with no purpose, not having the abilities to achieve leading to jealousy of what others have, turning to anger and greed, wanting and desiring and not understanding the amount of work that went into obtaining what they have, but they come and steal what the other has worked for....this tree bears bad fruit. Once again we look at the condition of society and the leaders......why is this???

ROOT OF CRIME

ROTTEN FRUITS

Crime is a fruit that falls off a tree,

stealing the lives of those who are free,

it shows total disrespect of a fellow being,

breaking down the goodness he is feeling.

We follow the trail of disrespect,

to find the root of what to inspect,

it leads us all the way to early neglect,

unloved and untrained is on what to reflect.

An undernourished child grows up to be weak,

bearing fruits that nobody seeks,

an inability to achieve makes them mad,

brining forth jealousy that makes them bad.

They turn to crime to fill their desire,

it's too much work building skill they require,

they have no respect for themselves or others,

sneaking and stealing covering it with quarrels.

COMPLICATED JUSTICE

GOING DEEPER

Justice is a very delicate matter, a very tricky and complicated matter and the scales must always balance.... not only from the side of the law but also the side of the so called perpetrator. Justice is a two edged sword cutting both ways. An actual crime is merely a result of a long journey of build ups and let downs and many factors are involved. Ignorance does not stand up in a court of law, however extenuating circumstances do....and every person has the right to a just and fair trial before being condemned, even on the witness of two or three, who may or may not be testifying the truth, through pressure or fear or reward.

What is wrong with our leaders and governments to allow society to reach the level of crime.....why are they not preventing it?????? IS CRIME NOT A FAILED GOVERNMENT? 

A FAILURE OF LEADERS TO GUIDE THEIR NATIONS? ISN'T THIS A FAILURE IN EDUCATION, MEDIA, ENTERTAINMENT, CULTURES AND TRADITIONS.....ALL LEADING PEOPLE WRONG FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD ALREADY??? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN???? HOW CAN PEOPLE AND CHILDREN FALL THROUGH THE GAPS??? HOW CAN THERE BE ANY GAPS WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE...????

SO MUCH IN US MUST BREAK BEFORE WE BECOME CRIMINALLY MINDED, BEFORE WE REACH THE STAGE OF NOT CARING ABOUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS.....SO MUCH......

CAUSE OF CRIME

LONG JOURNEY TO CRIME

Hearts are broken bringing insecurity,

knowledge withheld brings ignorant naivety,

a very long road leads down to crime,

it takes a lot of battering to fall into grime.

Justice is very delicately woven,

the weak and gentle are often chosen,

through terrible torment they are broken down,

to be used as tools by a greedy clown.

A two edged sword cuts both ways,

it's not always what the written law says,

when crime is a result of previous neglect,

we have to look deeper into what to inspect.

To heal a disease you got to find its cause,

to treat the symptoms merely gives a pause,

when medication stops it flares up again,

repeating the cycle of stress and pain.

CRIME AND REALITY

CRIME OR RESULT

We commit a crime like sexual immorality, theft, lying, murder, etc....but what is this really all about. Is this not the RESULT of a far deeper issue. 

Insecurity > can't cope > leads to sexual immorality....

Shy and naive > scared > leads to sexual immorality...

Lustful and rebellious > leads to sexual immorality....

Hungry and desperate > leads to theft....

Lazy and arrogant and oppress others > leads to theft....

Fear punishment > leads to lies...

Enjoy evil and darkness > that leads to lies....

And so we can go on and on....

In one instance it is innocence and ignorance which RESULT IN IMPROPER BEHAVIOUR.

In the other instance it is IMPROPER BEHAVIOUR THAT LEADS TO CRIME....

What is the crime and what is the result? Do we not judge wrong and become trapped in wrong judgement holding us captive...every wrong judgement is like the link of a chain around our neck becoming extremely heavy.....

Insecurity, shyness, naivety are not crimes , it is a condition of neglect....lack of proper training and education resulting in immorality....so the immorality is merely the RESULT AND THE TRUE CRIME IS LACK OF EDUCATION.....SO WHAT AND WHO IS CHARGED???? Lust and rebellion is a condition of lack of moral and spiritual upbringing RESULTING IN IMMORALITY.....SO WHAT IS THE TRUE CRIME....LACK OF EDUCATION ON MORALS, VIRTUES AND VALUES..... POINTING TO THE GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM......THE MEDIA, THE ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EITHER KEEPING A NATION PURE OR DEFILING THEM.....

CRIME GOES FAR DEEPER THAN THE FINAL ACTIONS WHICH ARE JUDGED....IS IT A CRIME OR IS IT A RESULT?

IS THE CRIME THE CAUSE OF THE RESULT?

WHERE IS THE CRIME SITUATED?

Tomorrow......going even deeper....

CRIME OR DIME

IN THE BALANCE

What is a crime and what is a result,

when does a reaction become an insult,

when is man bad or simply misled,

how and with what must we make our bed.

Insecurity and fears lead us down paths,

tough and hard with very few laughs,

shy and naive we fall to abuse,

fearing judgement become a recluse.

What is it that makes man bad,

what kind of evil makes us so sad,

when can a crime be called a crime,

or is it really about a dollar and dime.

7 sciences trapped by their own creation

WRONG JUDGEMENT

All worldly things are tied up in a massive web entwined with each other and branching out into all areas of life.....and all are gathered together in the seven sciences or through the seven sciences.....as we entangle others in our webs to control them, so we become entangled in their lives making us their prisoners....eventually there are so many knots in this crows nest that no one knows what's going on or which way to turn. Wherever we go we bump against troubles. We base our judgement on what we see which is rarely the truth, entangling us in a circle of lies, deceit and guilt, so we collect dirt on everyone to keep them silent as things just he worse and worse......SO WHAT NOW???? HOW DO WE ESCAPE THIS NEST WE CREATED???? ALL OF US????

ERRONEOUS SYSTEM

TRAPPED BY PUPPETS

In between childhood and adulthood is a door,

apprenticeship or college through which we must pour,

almost like a narrowing of an hour glass,

its pushed through a tunnel into a different class.

Secret societies hold the powers on earth,

they work behind the scenes controlled by daarth,

the mother was swallowed by a daughter created,

as the wisdom of man is totally berated.

Now there's only a system in charge,

vessels of error running at large,

all are entangled in a great big mess,

continually bowing to oppression and stress.

SCIENCE OF ASTRONOMY

ALL COMES TOGETHER

The study of the universe beyond the earth especially the observation, calculation and theoretical as interpretation of the positions of celestial bodies and phenomena....as above so below....the network connection between societies and celestials....

What does all this help us, knowing who and how the earth is run, when we don't even know our own spirit and soul, flesh and heart????? Then we are caught in the mighty webs spun by the rulers of the earth, becoming just another slave with fancy titles and certain privileges.....all with strings attached, of course, holding us captive in prisons of darkness. When we reach for the stars and uncover hidden things, we place ourselves in enormous danger and are made an offer we cannot refuse, being given great human honour, knighthood, titles, money, etc....only we may not speak or reveal what we have found, and the only way to ensure our silence is with death, so we lose our life anyway...the life we know.... and are resuscitated because we are worth more alive than dead, except our physical body is now captive to a master and we no longer have any say in our lives.....so when venturing into these unknown territory's, be sure to be under Gods protection, we will still be killed, but, with God we are resurrected into freedom and not resuscitated into slavery.....KNOW WHERE YOU ARE...

TWINKLING STARS OR NOT????

WHAT'S HIDDEN

The stars in the sky have secrets to hide,

when man discovers these, he's taken aside,

he may not reveal what he has found,

as he disappears into the cloud.

A brilliant mind is a target for science,

something they can use to expose reliance,

but this must be done under cover of dark,

so no one is able to set off a spark.

Human honour is laid on a platter,

only to find its death in the latter,

no one may know what is going on,

therefore captivity becomes their only song.

Do beware of knighthood and honour,

it may just turn into unthinkable horror,

remain within the humble hand of God,

awaiting on Him to give the nod.

SCIENCE OF GEOLOGY

NON DESTRUCTIVE WISDOM

The scientific study of origin, history and structure of the earth and specific regions spreading into many areas and branches . meteorology, oceanography, etc...

We study so many things, break it up and pull it apart, but does that help us understanding life, where does it fit into understanding what this journey is all about and where it is taking us, what is the purpose of it all.......sometimes we get so busy with the things around us, what they are, how they are stuck together, that we forget the purpose they are there for, causing so much unnecessary damage that we are unable to repair. Shouldn't we be looking at the greater picture, the overall purpose, the end result of our search, before we start pulling things to pieces. When we find the purpose of something, by asking the creator who created it without breaking and destroying it in the process, maybe we don't need to dismantle things to find what is inside, because we already know and can live peacefully within its flow...

Maybe..?
Man is the only creature on earth that destroys what he lays his hands on, all other creatures take what they need and leave the rest for the next ones coming along....why is that?

BREAK TO SEE

MOVING BACKWARDS

We study and break to gain some knowledge,

destroying the things we ought to cherish,

we find all the building blocks we seek,

but cause disruption killing a system that leaks.

Whenever curiosity becomes destructive,

it's best to find a different initiative,

seek other ways of finding what we need,

without destroying any of nature seed.

We stubbornly refuse to acknowledge a creator,

causing havoc like an ignorant instigator,

we scratch around where we don't belong,

causing destruction as we go along.

We can never repair what we've broken down,

then hide behind excuses like a circus clown,

thinking we can cover our mess with lies,

but it always comes out as it shines from the skies.

SCIENCE OF MUSIC

INVISIBLE VIBRATIONS

Tunes and melodies vibrate through the air, entering our bodies through more than just our ears. Connected by energies that travel unseen, music enters our bodies without us being aware. It vibrates through the flesh changing our moods. Music and song, the combination of words and melodies, serve a massive punch and penetrates extremely deeply into the human psyche. When songs are recorded they have to go through a system and contracts are drawn up, and songs are selected according to the political climate of the time...the rulers of the world regulate what gets through and what is held back. Singers are obliged to sing the songs given to them in exchange for singing a few of their own. It is all controlled and by who??? This path leads back to the seven sciences and the Society that controls it, the study of all sciences and human behaviour, as a result if music and song. It probably has the greatest influence over people in the form of subtle manipulation than anything else. When we do allow music to arrange our lives, where do we draw the line. Are we even aware of this??? Think about it, how many times have we followed the words of songs??

I know I have...I know it has shaped parts of my life and journeys....

MUSIC AND SONG

LEADING US ALONG

Music has a way to reach our hearts,

vibrations and melodies bring us new starts,

it vibes us up and sends us on a high,

believing we can fly and reach for the sky.

It penetrates deeply within,

the words and tunes we continuously sing,

it bends the mind and leads us on paths,

filling our lives with joy and laughs.

It leaves a deep imprint on our ways,

some songs brighten the steps of our days,

others take us into the moody blues,

the heavy metal where darkness pursues.

Have we ever thought about the songs we sing,

how it lifts or drops us - does this bell ring,

how many times have we followed the words,

are we even aware when the change occurs.

SEVEN SCIENCES - QUADRIVIUM - ARITHMETIC

ALL ONE MOVEMENT

Everything visible has a pattern and design, mathematically calculated. Computation and evolution worked out through arithmetics operations or mathematics. Whether it is weight, volume, height, distance....everything is calculated in some or other measurement. The entire earth and everything in it is measured, broken down and categorized by appearance. Earth is broken down in North, South, East and West, hemispheres, timelines, visible material is broken down into DNA and chromosomes, etc. But his do we calculate the essence within the material.....the actual purpose for why it was created.   There is order in all things and every design has a purpose to fulfill in the bigger picture, it is one of the gears in the machine called life on earth. When we experiment with designs for the sake if making or copying a creation just because we can, and place it between the rest, it upsets the entire flow of nature by disrupting it, UNLESS THE ESSENCE IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN....to work together with the rest of creation. There is far more to objects than just the design and appearance, the essence and reason it is there is far more important, than the way it looks...

MORE THAN MATHS

HIDDEN REASONS

There's more to objects than the outer design,

there's an essence and purpose within its realm,

we can't just add and take away,

we got to make sure the balance does stay.

The earth is broken up in North and South,

timelines further break it in halves,

there's more than calculations and doing our sums,

there's an entire system doing its runs.

The essence and purpose carries far more weight,

than the vessel designed to carry its fate,

and unless we understand the hidden reasons,

we cause destruction and mess up the seasons.

WHO IS YOUR OWNER...WHAT US YOUR ORIGIN ?

USED THROUGH LIFE

It doesn't matter from where and through who tests, trials and experiments come, come they will come, what is important is how we deal with it. Growing up is very confusing. Parents teach one thing, teachers another, politics are totally corrupt and crooked, preachers preach something different. We only start uncovering some truth much later in life and then we are already so trapped and entangled that we just continue in the patterns we know. By that time we have careers, possibly families and have many responsibilities, keeping us trapped in the situations where we find ourselves in due to our financial commitments, so we stick our heads in the sand and do the best we can with what we have, simply living with the results as part of life, accepting what we receive because it is the only thing we know what to do .At the end of the day the masters collect those who belong to them, like Jesus who gave his life and overcame death to collect those belonging to him from death. Each master will collect his own creations and answer for them, so rest assured you cannot be forgotten....we are all marked....and sealed....

BELONGING TO A MASTER

CONFUSION

Parents teach us one way to go,

teachers direct us into a different flow,

it's here and there and everywhere,

we don't know what to keep or share.

Politics are crooked and corrupt,

with oppression and manipulation they instruct,

someone always suffers while others gain,

there's no man that can deal justice without pain.

Growing up is extremely confusing,

somewhere along the line we're always losing,

we start accepting life for what it gives,

regardless of what it is we believe.

It's all we have and all we know,

we're in too deep to change the flow,

at the end of the day we make it through,

as each to his master will know what is true.

EXPERIMENTS AND STUDIES ON HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

RHETORIC INFLUENCES

The greatest powers of mass control are the unions regulating the workers, for those who have jobs, as it dictates to the politicians and governments. Second most powerful is music and the songs.....the lyrics influencing the minds, especially of the youth who are still being shaped and formed into patterns of life. Movies, television, the media and music has more impact on our minds than we give it credit for, probably because we see and hear it simultaneously, causing a double impact on our lives. We really become like sheep being led to the slaughter.... following blindly without considering the consequences. We think if we move in the pack there is safety in numbers, but that is just another lie to add to all the other lies. When the day arrives and our lives come under scrutiny and we have to answer and choose which way - there is no crowd, there are no friends, there is no safety in numbers - it is you and you alone, so whatever influences our choices, make sure you are willing to accept the consequences of your deeds before turning it into action.....otherwise....walk away...

MASS CONTROL THROUGH RHETORIC SCIENCES

WORLDLY INFLUENCES

Mass control can make or break a nation,

workers unions can cause consternation,

governments and politicians rise and fall,

when nations rise up and make their call.

Experiments are done on human behaviour,

tests on how hard they're willing to labour,

movies and television are powerful tools,

to twist and shape the lives of us human fools.

Blindly we follow the music and songs,

using excuses to cover our wrongs,

never consider the consequences of our deeds,

continually want others to fill our needs.

We think we can hide and there's safety in numbers,

but that's just a lie that our mind encumbers,

when the day arrives and our lives come under scrutiny,

we stand alone as crowds flee from the unity.

SCIENCE OF RHETORIC

THE VOICES

Rhetoric is the art of persuasive use of language. We learn spelling and reading, the proper use of grammar and its context, how to use tenses and punctuation to make sense of sentences. Then comes the art of weaving the right words in the right tone and expression and here enters the politician, the teacher and preacher, the tribal chiefs and kings and queens, the sales representatives and scientists, the lawyer and doctor, psychologist and hypnotist, army general,etc.....the person using politics, religion, education, cultures and traditions, etc.....the orator.....these people are selected from childhood, normally the outgoing and outspoken, the children of influential people, groomed and primed along the way receiving invitations to "clubs" and "societies", special debating groups, set aside and trained into the art of rhetoric sciences and then used by the power houses to turn nations....masses of people through politics, cultures and traditions, religions, entire generations of children through educations and the songs of the day.....and everyone is blissfully unaware of this.

The same thoughts are planted into many minds causing them to mistrust each other leading to unrest and wars by being brainwashed and manipulated, conditioned and stirred up, that they hurt each other leading to their own destruction, as they have no idea what they are doing.....attacking innocent people, believing they're guilty, but they aren't, causing the doom to fall on their own heads.....totally misled....

ACTING PILLARS

ORATORS

The weavers of words are chosen from young,

selected and set aside for training of the tongue,

their paths are directed and carefully laid out,

invited into "clubs" and "societies" that have clout.

Called pillars of society they're groomed all the way,

given their speeches and what they may say,

they learn to act and express themselves well,

like dolls and puppets who aren't allowed to tell.

They lead the masses through the wishing wells,

spin and weave their words like magical spells,

bringing people hopes of better tomorrows,

by doing nothing to help them with their sorrows.

Beware to listen to the slippery tongue,

they lead us down many paths that are wrong,

the best paths to follow are the ones of the soul,

getting through life still being whole.

WHAT FALLS UNDER LOGIC????

LOGIC BRANCHES OUT....

Politics, traditions, cultures, religions, beliefs, education, languages, etc all belong to logic and rhetoric sciences....so basically our communication foundations which direct our lives into paths we will travel. The way we understand things stems basically from the way we are taught to understand it...often giving us a one sided view of things which is in fact not the truth. As we go through life and gain first hand experience, our perceptions change, our understanding deepens and we start gaining our own personal views of what things mean to us, which are often different from our cultures and traditions, causing havoc in our minds and emotions as we pulled in different directions. So we will almost always differ on opinions and can learn a lot from each other by listening to different  viewpoints enlarging our outlook on life. This is why we have debates, opening doors to healthy arguments and discussions on life's many important issues. Things look totally different from a child's perspective to that of an adult and open communication is so important to peace in a family....and in a nation...

FRUITS OF LOGIC

OUR TEACHINGS

Language is the door that opens to life,

education and learning directs our mind,

cultures and traditions set our ways,

religions and beliefs guide our days,

Experience changes the way we think,

the things that we learn no longer make sense,

there seems no logic in the written words,

understanding deepens and changes its worth.

Lines are drawn which we may not cross,

when we do it loads us with a lot of dross,

we cannot hurt others in any way,

for the day will come when we have to pay.

It's completely logical and makes full sense,

not to land up in this kind of mess,

to treat others with respect in word and deed,

so we can stand tall in our days of need.

SCIENCE OF LOGIC

LOGIC

The branch of philosophy that deals with forms of thinking especially reaching logical conclusions from knowledge gained. The art of reasoning and convincing - proving matters. We may have all the knowledge in the world but unless we can reason and link the dots together to reach a conclusion, the knowledge remains useless to us. This is where humans completely outshine computers, because computers can collect the knowledge and categorize it in groups according to subject matter, but don't have a thinking ability to bring reason into it, often categorizing matter into the wrong context, causing tremendous misinterpretation and wrong understanding. So it's up to the computer operator to place it or feed it into the right place. A computer has no understanding but follows a software program. The ability to reason with logic brings forth the meaning of words and what it is trying to tell us, so we can understand in which context it is being used. Our thinking ability stems from the spirit within us and is apart and higher than the brain that merely records information. We can be limited by our human perception of knowledge or be enriched by a divine ability to see further and deeper than is humanly possible, by connecting to the divine spirit of God, which sees through the matter to the essence and purpose....

Tomorrow...what falls under logic ?....

LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS

CONCLUSIONS

Words without meaning hang in the air,

without a conclusion has nothing to share,

it needs to paint a picture and make some sense,

otherwise it floats around leaving us dense.

Logic joins language to bring some reason,

giving us words for every season,

without any thoughts we come to naught,

unlike the things we are always taught.

Logic brings events to a conclusion,

with understanding that cancels confusion,

it helps us cope with life's situations,

building bridges to improve relations.

SCIENCE OF GRAMMAR AND LANGUAGES

UNDERSTANDING

Like a picture paints a thousand words, language directs our thoughts and words. Language came into being so man could communicate with each other, from marks and drawings came the symbols of letters. But words in themselves are not enough there also has to come the meaning, context and understanding of the words. Words may be written to guide our paths, but how we comprehend those words, comes from a deeper level than the brain. The brain records the words, but the spirit in man brings the comprehension of what the words mean to use and where they are going to lead us. The spirit of divinity leads us to positive outlooks where we seek the good in the words, the spirit of the world is negative, taking us into the bad, dark side of the very same words. So when we use words, we need to learn the art of weaving them together in such a manner than others can understand exactly what we are trying to convey, which is normally feelings, so the words need to reach the heart of man. Often our comprehension comes from experience - having been in situations. Words only come alive once action is added to it. Those who write can't be held responsible for the way we interpret and comprehend what us written. Only our personal experience in situations and the indwelling spirit can influence our understanding. One word can mean many things, so we need to add the meaning and context in which they are used. We may learn to be direct and say exactly what we mean and mean exactly what we say....

WORDS

MEANINGS

Many words are spoken that leaves us lost,

misunderstanding have a very high cost,

we fight and argue about many things,

missing the joy that language brings.

Language and tenses all serve a purpose,

often the meaning lays under the surface,

we need to read between the lines,

to find the meaning that it hides.

We learn to read and spell in class,

we need to comprehend the meaning to pass,

very few people can wisely express

the emotions and feelings that cause them stress.

To colour our words with meaning and expression,

is an art we learn through constant progression,

we need to paint a picture of what we mean,

with perfect comprehension of where we've been.

GATHERING ALL STRINGS TOGETHER

ALL ROADS LEAD.....WHERE.....

When following life's paths, we back track to certain origins....like language, cultures, traditions, gods and goddesses, religion, beliefs, politics, mathematics. Law, astrology, etc, all the things that shape our lives, and where does it lead us??? To the seven literal sciences: the trivium - grammar, logic and rhetoric and the quadrivium - arithmetic, music, geology and astronomy....

As science is the "search for knowledge" and based primarily on what can be seen, tested and experimented with, we can expect changes all the time. As new knowledge and information becomes available, so it swallows the previous assumptions. Any indepth study is like peeling onions, it is layer upon layer and as each new layer becomes exposed it gives a different meaning to the previous layer because we see it from a new angle and perspective. Scientists are also only people with a human understanding on what they see and hear. To truly understand the essence of anything, it takes far more than the study of material objects and their reactions to certain experiments. The essence of creation and all created things is spiritual and does not lay in the material part of it, and unless the spiritual essence is included in our quest for knowledge on the subject ....we are left with only empty dust....going around in circles. Next few days let's look deeper into this....

CONTINUOUS CHANGES

WHERE ARE WE

So lost in a world that's continuously changed,

as daily things are rearranged,

no sooner have we found our feet,

then something new comes and makes it incomplete.

Like ships without rudders we are dragged along, 

we can't really find out what is right or wrong,

it's all become dim and rather hazy,

causing upheavals as people go crazy.

How shall we find the truth in the mess,

when we're continually expected to guess,

no one wants to call a space a spade,

tell us what to do to make the grade.

We back track to the origin of things,

battle our way through the changes and swings,

this way and that way we're thrown around,

where will we find the wisdom that's sound.

TRAPS OR EXPERIMENTS FOR HUMAN STUDIES?????????

AT A LOSS

Situations are deliberately brought into our lives to create insecurity, doubt, anger, injustices and the likes. A net is carefully laid, disguised as good, then we are lured into it by promises of success, help, guidance and happiness, we are then disillusioned by the lies as there is no gold  or joy on those paths bringing about terrible regrets, sorrow and anger leading to nervous breakdowns, depression and at times revenge. None of this is exposed EXCEPT OUR MISTAKES. 

Our desperation is turned into greed....

Our ignorance is twisted into selfishness....

Our innocence is turned into guilt....

as ONLY OUR REACTIONS AND ANGER IS REVEALED. ONLY OUR BAD IS LIFTED OUT AND ONLY OUR BAD....leaving us high and dry with no defense, we didn't even see it coming...as they laugh, saying: "it's like taking sweeties from children". These are masters of manipulation, or is it possibly the ignorance of science??? Science is the search for knowledge....is it within this search that such terrible atrocities are done to man, to study his reactions and try and learn something??? 

Unless we have divine backing to expose EVERYTHING....THE ENTIRE SITUATION.... WE STAND NO CHANCE BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US...WE ARE JUST CONTINUALLY BEING TAKEN DOWN....Our emotions, conscience and goodness is totally manipulated to make us out as useless, bad, rotten people.....a dirty little girl or boy!!!! Hit a mark???? Meanwhile we were being played, and badly played only because we had no idea what was going on!!! There is simply no before and no after . ...JUST OUR REACTIONS, WORKS, DEEDS AND WORDS THAT ARE THROWN AT US TAKING THE ENTIRE SITUATION OUT OF CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVE. So how can we defend ourselves....we can't.... we need an advocate stronger than them...

Monica Maartens ©Copyright

03 March 2018

Tomorrow....drawing all strings together....

NO DEFENSE

TWISTED LIES

No defense as we're ripped apart,

masters of manipulation break our heart,

tests are cast upon our way,

without preparation we go astray.

Lessons only come after the fall,

when it's too late to heed any call,

we have no inkling of what's going on,

as the waves of life just drag us along.

Our emotions take a tremendous knock,

minds are captured with a chain and lock,

fear and dread consume our days,

we can't find a light upon our ways.

Things are twisted out of perspective,

manipulation can be very selective,

it only lifts out the things that are bad,

making our lives very messy and sad.

GETTING READY.....WE CAN'T....

CRUSHED BY DECEIT.....OR IS IT

EXPERIMENTATION????

We can't get ready, our every word and move is recorded....things we did without realizing, as challenges were set for us to study how we will react, to find new methods of keeping us under control, like fish in a tank...we daren't jump out of the tank, because then we're free.... So traps are set for us, things we have forgotten about, so what now? How can we ever get through this....only by GODS MERCY....BUT TO OBTAIN THIS MERCY WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE GOD FOR IT TO BECOME EFFECTIVE IN OUR LIVES....Traps are so cleverly disguised as friendly talks, revealing our hearts, but when exposed it is ONLY OUR DEEDS AND WORDS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT...What led up to a reaction is hidden, the circumstances causing the reaction and words is hidden, what happened before and after.... all hidden....only OUR reactions and words are splashed across the headlines for all to see. It is completely lopsided and unfair and unjust. We cannot possibly overcome this sneaky enticement with our limited human knowledge. We are dealing with masterminds of entrapment, playing with our sub conscience and emotions, keeping us off center and unbalanced so we can't find our freedom....control of the human species. The only way to know what is going on and to win this war of deceit and cover ups, is with divine intervention, it is way above our heads....it is mind boggling how we are experimented with....to get ready and be prepared we need to be firmly attached to divine guidance which will take us through these dark times and to do this we connect to the Holy Spirit of God who will give us the right words at the right time......DON'T GET CAUGHT.....

Monica Maartens ©Copyright

02 March 2018

Tomorrow....traps or hidden experiments that must remain hidden???????

PREPARATION

BLACK OR WHITE?

For every action there is a prelude,

events that happen which we can't elude,

to get a reaction our buttons are pressed,

continuous badgering makes us distressed.

When grooming a man to take a fall,

nets are neatly concealed before the call,

innocently and trustingly we enter in,

without the faintest inkling that it's a fiery ring.

We are caught in an act or word that is spoken,

especially a reaction that leads from being broken,

it's nailed on our heads and linked to our name,

but nobody sees the full extent of the game.

Our only escape is divine intervention,

as we're orchestrated by master manipulation,

they weave deceit through our minds and emotions,

totally entangling us in psychological potions.

NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH

ARE WE READY?

We are told we are on the brink of a new heaven and earth. What does this even mean? Are we ready for this? How can we be part of this wonderful new future? Everyone wants their say, wants to do their thing, wants to rule, thinks they have all the answers to ending poverty and growing the economy....BUT....does the problem really lay here? Isn't the root of the problem far, far deeper than what we see on the surface? Isn't it all an attitude problem? We are empty inside, we have an outlook of hopelessness, don't care attitude, why should we even try? In the midst of all the turmoil, how should we prepare for a new life when this life is such a mess and torture...we can't even find ourselves... We need to find our center, but how? Purpose of existence, become silent within ourselves and reach for our values as human beings. Not what we are worth in material terms, but what we are worth within ourselves. We need to take a very deep look at who we have become within this fight for survival. Which of our virtues have remained intact and what are we going to do about those we have lost on the way? Our honesty, loyalty, respect, love, respect, dignity, etc...

Tomorrow....getting ready....

ALL THINGS NEW

NEW BIRTH

Getting ready for all things new,

where we don't need to brood on yesterdays stew,

everyone's trying to fix the next man,

while we're the one's stuck in the can.

We're on the brink of a new heaven and earth,

when the glory of creation is given new birth,

when the worth of man will come to the fore,

and we don't have to hide away anymore.

All oppression will drown in the ocean,

as the power of love comes into full motion,

the truth will shine like a brilliant star,

nations will see it from near and far.

It's not within our human understanding,

to overcome a world so demanding,

the mercy of God covers all our tracks,

guides us through the wolves and their packs.
