DOORS SHUT IN OUR FACE

WHY?? WHY ARE WE PUSHED ASIDE??

Wherever we go we leave tracks behind us, either of goodness, righteousness and decency, or badness, destruction, rebellion, trouble, dissention. We write it off as youthful escapades BUT IT HAS LEFT ITS MARKS ON OUR LIVES WHICH OTHERS CAN SEE. WE ARE BRANDED..... Now we apply for a job and because of our rebellion and destruction, for which we have not paid or made right, certain doors will not open for us, because we are irresponsible....we don't settle our debts.... We are not given reasons, but the jobs go to others all the time, leaving us stranded. We must never think we can hide things, WE CAN'T.....EVERYTHING WE SAY AND DO IS RECORDED SOMEWHERE, so we must very, very sure of the paths we wish to follow later in life so our youthful irresponsibility doesn't condemn our future and send us onto paths of destruction. There are invisible rules and laws on all paths, make sure you know what they are and follow them....KNOW THAT WE LEAVE FOOTPRINTS WHEREVER WE GO....

EVERY STEP WE TAKE

CHOOSE WISELY

Every step we take leaves a mark behind,

very path has rules and laws to find,

we need to tread within the lines,

or expect to be caught and pay the fines.

Our youthful rebellion sets our paths ahead,

when we knock on certain doors all play dead,

they refuse us entry due to our past,

we're given the boot because our die has been cast.

Another always gets the job we desire,

no one wants a trouble maker playing with fire,

nothing can be buried and left in the dark,

like a shadow it follows us giving off it's spark.

GULLIBLE YOUTH

YOUTH USED BY LEADERS

At a certain age we're all fire and desire, wanting to change the world thinking we know it all and are so easily pulled into rally's and "walks for causes", then being in a crowd gives us the confidence to demand and make a big noise which we would never do when we are alone. Likewise our passions easily burn out of control through a little instigation and songs or actions of others often leading to destruction of property, fighting and breaking that which does not belong to us, leaving us with a debt. This is woven into the tapestry of our life, we have done it, it is there and is not going away, ever, unless we make it go away by repairing what we broke, restoring what we destroyed, returning what we stole or paying for someone else to fix what we broke. When we pay for the damages it disappears, when we don't it leaves its stain and mark on our life, we can't see it, but others do and it deeply influences our life ahead  DON'T EVER BELIEVE THESE THINGS ARE SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T, IT IS ONLY US THAT THINK IT IS AND IT WILL HAVE A DEFINITE IMPACT ON WHICH DOORS OPEN FOR US IN FUTURE AND WHICH ONES SLAM IN OUR FACES.....SO....DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH CROWDS. ..SAY YOU'RE BUSY OR CAN'T JOIN.....STAY AWAY FROM CROWDS......

YOUTHFUL REBELLION AND DESTRUCTION

YOUTHFUL FOLLY

When young we get together in a crowd,

we rebel and become so rowdy and loud,

the numbers give us confidence to demand,

things we'd never do when alone on the land.

Passion overflows and becomes destruction,

woven into the fibre of our life's construction,

these marks like shadows follow us around,

forever there until made right and sound.

Destruction is never swept away,

it directs our future the very next day,

doors slam in our faces for jobs and perks,

because we destroyed and acted like jerks.

JOURNEY OF CRIME

EASILY LED ASTRAY....OR IS IT GREED

Every living being KNOWS RIGHT FROM WRONG. We all KNOW NOTHING COMES FOR FREE. We all KNOW PAYDAY COMES. Many crimes are dressed up as "human rights, traditions and cultures", YET WE KNOW IT IS WRONG.....but we cross the line into crime anyway. WHY???? When payday comes we pay for the crime and " human rights, traditions or cultures " are no excuses. WE KNOW IT'S WRONG...SO WE DON'T DO IT.   WE BREAK THE TRADITION BEFORE WE DO A CRIME. A "HUMAN RIGHT, TRADITION OR CULTURE" IS NEVER A LICENCE TO DO WRONG OR EVIL....NEVER.....BUT, THE WORST PART IS IT INFLUENCES OUR LIFE AND FUTURE  .....WHEN WE CROSS LINES WE BECOME INVOLVED IN MORE AND MORE DARKNESS EVENTUALLY NOT JUST DOING EVIL, BUT ACTUALLY BECOMING THE EVIL, WHICH TAKES US INTO SLAVERY AND CAPTIVITY UNDER A DISGUISE OF BEING IN CONTROL....WHEN DOING CRIME WE ARE NEVER IN CONTROL....

CRIME AND PAYDAY

SWALLOWED ALIVE

No "human right" is an excuse for doing crime,

no "tradition or culture" keeps us from the grime,

right is right and stands above them all,

we know right from wrong and don't need a call.

Payday will come to one and all,

then we must stand strong and tall,

there is no licence to cover crime,

we cannot pay it with dollar and dime.

Once involved it swallows us fast,

holds us tight to the very last,

from doing the evil we become the evil,

no longer able to escape from the devil.

FREE RIDE LEAVES DEBTS

CLAIMING RIGHTS WHICH ARE NOT RIGHTS.....

When we claim rights which are not rights and we known it in our hearts, we bring debt upon our heads and pay, we surely will....this is a terrible trap....when we want material things we work in honest labour and earn and buy what we want, owing no one nothing, no favours, no obligations, belonging to no one. When claiming and demanding so called rights without earning or paying for them we always have a sword over our heads, we received something for nothing and are therefore owned by the one who gave it, regardless of title deeds, we do not have a receipt of payment, and without a receipt it does not belong to us. So we received for nothing, now we must give to say thank you....do crime or evil against others, strike, slow strike, break things, terrorise people, give our vote, etc and when we refuse they take back the gift they gave us, it always comes with strings attached. As this is criminal activity we are expected and forced to vote for criminals as leaders. This is a terrible trap and pay we will, plus now we have done bad against others on top of unearned rights and darkness opens its mouth and swallows us into captivity and slavery....

RIGHT TO LIVE IN SAFETY

TRAPS OF RIGHTS

We all have the right to live in safety,

regardless where we are to be treated justly,

when earnings and privileges are disguised as rights,

we end up demanding with riots and fights.

We burn and destroy committing crimes,

throwing debt upon debt upon our crowns,

there is always a price that must be paid,

often some favours that need to be made.

Deeper and deeper we fall into traps,

sooner or later we will take all the raps,

they always come to collect their debts,

gathering us all in their filthy nets.

 It's a terrible trap and pay we surely will,

when the judge drops the hammer and issues the bill,

there are no excuses that will set us free,

we know deep inside that it couldn't be.

RIGHTS - PRIVILEGES - EARNINGS

NO VALUES

A very thin line separates rights, privileges and earnings. With human rights so many things are pulled completely out of proportion. Life is a privilege not a right, walking upon God's earth is a privilege, not a right, education is a privilege, not a right, a home, electricity, water, transport is a result of hard work and earning it, also not a right but an earning. When all these things are poured upon our heads we have no sense of value or respect for it, because we didn't earn it, so we trash it, we demand it and we trash it. We don't know what it means because we didn't earn it and therefore cannot attach a value to it....it came cheap and easy.....and that is how we treat it...cheap and easy. When things are presented as a right it leads to demands, uprisings, riots, evil, just wanting, demanding, insisting without ever offering anything in return. When things are presented as a privilege, an honour, we are willing to work for the privilege of being included in something so precious as life, education, a home.....to earn it honestly and respectfully. Governments use rights to cripple a nation and make them dependent on the government insisting on their votes in return for the "rights".......but ...then it backfires on them and cripples the government so the entire country is destroyed through laziness and demands, as the greatest majority of the nation refuses to lift a finger to bring their side, because they have the right .....they sit and demand the " right" to a house, electricity, water, food, education, transport....without bringing anything from their side except rioting, striking, burning and destroying....no country can carry this load it has to shake it off, or someone else comes to take over ....

HUMAN RIGHTS OR NOT?????

RIGHT TO EARN THE PRIVILEGE

So many things are not human rights,

leading to demands and causing fights,

the nation sits with little hands folded,

spitting like serpents while leaders are scolded.

Life is a privilege and not a right,

a gift of birth that brought us light,

so too is our education,

if it's even right for life's situation.

A house comes as a result of hard work,

it's not a right or a casual perk,

it's something that's earned and deeply respected,

with water and power that can't be neglected.

Nations become ugly and lazy and bad,

spitting there venom while going mad,

tighter and tighter we are shackled in chains,

demanding rights that bring us no gains.

REWARDS AND NEEDS

CROSSING LINES

For what do we work, for who do we achieve, what is a reward and what is an entitlement. How do we choose which job. Normally we receive a contract to sign which lays out the duties expected from us in return for a salary. These are however vague, but protect us to a degree. When expected to cross a moral line into cheating, deceit and dishonesty, we can refuse by falling back on our contract showing that dishonesty was not mentioned when we agreed to accept the position, however when we refuse the boss we probably won't get any further in this company, if that was our intention, and must be content to remain where we are, which in the long run is better for us, because when we start down the path of deceit we spiral down very fast and end up despising ourselves, having sleepless nights, becoming miserable and short tempered, resulting in problems at home as well, eventually destroying our entire life. It is simply not worth becoming involved in dishonest dealings. A little corruption spreads into our entire life....

SPIRALING INTO DARKNESS

CORRUPTION

We work to receive rewards to survive,

we work for a home and to stay alive,

before we start we're told what to do,

which are the duties we'll need to pursue.

When asked or expected to cross a line,

do corruption that will deaden our shine,

we need to refuse regardless the reward,

for after the act it brings much discord.

Paths of deceit spiral down into darkness,

there where our lives are wrapped in starkness,

sleepless nights and fears abound,

as our deeds keep following us around.

Short tempered and miserable we become,

snapping at loved ones who want some fun,

it starts destroying our entire life,

as days and nights become filled with strife.

CAPTIVES ON THE WRONG ROAD

IF ONLY WE KNEW

What is the point of gathering all our beautiful things, but we live in fear, uncertainty, always having to bow to someone to be able to keep what we have worked for and earned through honest labour, it is ours, we have paid for it, yet it is always under threat. THIS IS NOT LIFE. This is injustice. What's the point of falling in love, marriage and a family, when our family is constantly under threat....THIS IS NOT LIFE. What is the point of life when we go from captivity to captivity, always having to answer to man, always indebted in some way or another. THIS IS NOT LIFE. What is all this? We work hard and honestly, but can't get higher unless we pay some price and the price is US....our decency, morals, ethics, honour....the richer we become materially, the poorer we become morally, until all that's left of us is trash.....dishonesty, unreliability, untrustworthiness....trash.....and we can't even enjoy our material gains....just emptiness left.....worthless emptiness.... THIS IS NOT LIFE .  THIS WAS COMPLETELY THE WRONG PATH....

WE ARE THE COST OF WORLDLINESS

WORTHLESS EMPTINESS

When wanting to rise in the material world,

part of us is taken a and twirled,

we work and work for many years,

earn our way through sweat and tears.

We gather together a little comfort,

buy beautiful things with enormous effort,

then live under threat if losing it all,

when we refuse to bow to evil's call.

We find a partner and settle down,

start a family and end with a frown,

our loved ones threatened once again,

breaking our hearts with anguish and pain.

The cost of a worldly life is high,

just listen to all those crying to the sky,

the higher we rise the lower we dive,

only worthless emptiness with which to strive.

THE HOUDINI OF SPIRITUALITY

GREAT ESCAPE

We got to break free from the roundabout by NOT PLAYING DESTINY'S GAME. We sever the cords to the three fates and connect to the cord of divinity by committing our spirit into Jesus hands, who is the mediator between God and man, the connection, the spiritual switch, not the witch.....so instead of being in the claws of the three fates, we are in the safe hands of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit...the three in one...all three join with our spirit and live within us. Now our spirit is sealed and untouchable, even though our flesh is still vulnerable. Forgiveness destroys their power, the moment we earnestly forgive them, they are forced to release us because it renders them helpless....they need our rage, anger, revenge, etc to have a hold over us. But when we forgive and show them love, they have nothing to hold against us and we are free to walk away..so....commit, forgive, surrender to Jesus Christ and love and infinity is broken.....all shackles and chains fall away...and we ARE FREE...NOW BELIEVE THIS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT...

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS

NOTHING IS CHANCE

Nothing is chance nothing is by accident,

there is purpose and reason for every incident,

life is a journey to become complete,

through trial and error we conquer defeat.

Stay away from fate it's a lie in disguise,

leading us into the maze of demise,

we don't hand our lives into hands of destiny,

we remain in the freedom of the light of divinity.

Once we're trapped we're sucked into infinity,

living in a cocoon of virtual reality,

to escape we need the door of Godly love,

using forgiveness as the key to divinity above.

CUNNING AND SNEAKINESS

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH IN INFINITY

Cunning and sneakiness pulled the wool over our eyes in a life that was supposed to be free to do as we pleased. The circles of infinity keep us trapped from birth to death it goes over and over. To break out of infinity we need a key to break the figure of eight of the seven sciences and the lord of the underworld. They are stuck under the figure eight in which the entire worlds population is tied up. They want to break free as much as everyone else, but can't because infinity holds them trapped too....the key is FORGIVENESS.....we entered the circle of infinity through revenge, getting even or getting back at those who hurt us, keeping the wheel of karma turning which leads us to the three fates of science and mythology, who decide where we will go....that is where the circle goes around and closes upon our heads....forgiveness is divine and severs this circle, we put a stop to karma and the turning wheel that brings it back to us constantly, we refuse to return to sender but use justice and righteousness to correct the wrongs so they don't keep coming back and the beginning of this end is FORGIVENESS.... not to get even or take revenge as those in whom we are taking revenge are trapped and used, so they are not to blame for what they do, so it is wrong to take revenge upon them, bringing judgement upon ourselves and taking us into the prisons of darkness of infinity. We are trapped by the fates and used....like their puppets...leave the revenge for God who knows who to reach..

USE YOUR KEY OF FORGIVENESS TO ESCAPE FROM INFINITY INTO DIVINITY...

• Tomorrow...the Houdini of spirituality....

FATE AND DESTINY VS TRUTH AND SURETY

INFINITY AND DIVINITY

Round and round and round we go,

how did we enter into this flow,

caught in infinity by the eight,

fate and destiny make us late for the gate.

Cunning pulled the wool over our eyes,

sneakiness caught us in a web of lies,

from birth to death it goes over and over,

a continuous rotation of crimson and clover.

Time to stop this wheel from turning,

no more return to sender with burning,

righteousness and justice replaces hate,

forgiveness turns the key in the gate.

HOW WE BECOME "BAD".......

DRAWN IN

Bad things happen to good people that make them become bad because they join the bad game. Don't return bad for bad, don't try to get even or take revenge, because then we BECOME THE BAD AND HAVE TO BE WORSE THAN THE BAD THAT HAPPENED TO US, CIRCULATING THE BAD, THAT MUST NOW COME BACK TO US AGAIN BECAUSE THE WHEEL TURNS. What we do is EXPOSE THE BAD, UNRAVEL IT AND CRUSH IT WITH WHAT IS RIGHT, WITH THE TRUTH, STOP THE CIRCULATION OF THE BAD BY ROOTING IT OUT AND NOT RETURNING IT....THAT IS THE POWER.... TO ROOT IT OUT.... By taking revenge or getting even, the only winner is BAD....BOTH PARTIES LOSE...AS THE BAD HAS DOUBLED UP AND HAS NOW TRAPPED BOTH PARTIES. We use what is right to CORRECT THE WRONG then bad isn't able to swallow us and use us to further advance the bad and wrongs in the world and it is not easy to escape the bad once it has its clutches in us....from here we are dragged into the realm of lawlessness from which the system of artificial intelligence thrive. Isn't it time we take control over our lives.....then use justice and righteousness to destroy bad and wrong, don't get even make it right....

JOURNEY OF GOOD AND EVIL

TRICKY RIDE

The journey of good and evil is a tricky ride,

one where there is no place to hide, 

we ourselves fall into the groove of bad,

when using bad to balance bad.

We use what is right to correct the wrong,

so the evil and bad won't drag us along,

by getting even we too must do bad,

doubling the bad and the winner is bad.

We expose the bad and evil and wrong,

unravel and crush it with truth that is strong,

we break the circle that goes round and round,

cancelling karma where justice is found.

LIVING WITH OUR CONSCIENCE

DRAGGED ALONG

Seeds are implanted with their duties and purposes and unless genetically manipulated will guide that seed to fruitage. For certain things we say, "I'll never do that," until we land in the situation and have to swallow our never....which we should never do, because the regret and torment that follows is not worth it...we must find another way past....not play the game...we arrive at a T-junction, and an impossible choice is thrown at us....we are basically tricked into wrong decisions especially when our loved ones are threatened. No one should ever be forced into a position of doing bad to save or protect a loved one, because it backfires, the bad we do actually opens the bad door onto all those we connected to....it is basically a trick to open the bad door, but this we only discover later, after we have done the bad and are then trapped by the bad... For most part a good seed will do what is right and good in any circumstances UNLESS THEY CAN'T SEE ANOTHER WAY OUT, ANOTHER CHOICE FOR THE NOW.... SO GO ALONG UNTIL THEY FIND THE FIRST GAP, THEN GAP IT OUT..... meanwhile they suffer enormously having to live with their conscience which eats them like cancer. What we need to know and remember is to place any such situation into Jesus hands for protection and guidance ...and REFUSE TO PLAY THIS GAME....REFUSE TO MAKE THIS KIND OF CHOICE....WE REDIRECT THE SITUATION INTO JESUS HANDS AND ASK "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO".... AND I AM SURE JESUS WOULD CAST THE DEMONS FROM THOSE FORCING US INTO THESE SITUATIONS......AMEN.

REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME

PROTECTION

People who are gentle, kind and good,

seem to draw those who are bad and rude,

they're stuck and trapped and need a way out,

hoping the good guy will have some clout.

Trapped if we do and trapped if we don't,

we don't get the choice to say I won't ,

our loved ones are used as manipulation tools,

turning us into stuttering fools.

We can refuse to play this game,

protect our loved ones through Jesus name

check they will to see if we doubt,

so strong we must stand with a mighty shout.

UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

GOOD TREE - GOOD FRUIT

We can program a brain with education expecting certain results and behaviour,

however many outer and inner influences determine the outcome of the programming. We can plant a perfectly good seed in bad soil and the plant will not perform as it is programmed to do. Likewise the seeds of morals, virtues and values we plant in the human brain, but the interpretation is within the mind and spirit of the man, the comprehension and understanding. The seed is the moral or virtue we instill, the watering of that seed is the enforcement of the moral by living in a moral environment where parents, teachers and peers all set the example. The air is the surroundings like school, television, the media, the songs, which needs to continue building on those morals. We can't plant a moral seed and surround a child with porn, vulgarity, nudity, sex, erotica, violence, etc and expect a moral seed to grow.  So to have a healthy nation, everything has to work together as a moral nation, otherwise that nation or that family shall fall....

THE SOULLESS BEING NEEDS LAWS

GOOD TREE

A tree that is good will bear good fruits,

providing the soil yields nourishment to the roots,

when it's starved and neglected it will wither and die,

bring forth no fruits to smile at the sky.

We can plant all good seeds in a virgin mind,

then abuse it and defile by being unkind,

the growth of the seeds will be stumped and skew,

anger and disgust will brew like a stew.

More than education makes a moral nation,

it takes daily nurturing to grow elation,

the very foundations must be built on morals,

virtues of excellence that squash any quarrels.

ACTUAL FUNCTIONALITY

INNER ESSENCE

Moving on the surface of the material world, we never find any depth, our minds are like roots of a tree, reaching deep into the darkness under the soil seeking for nourishment. To study the ocean we dive into the depths where the currents move, the coral reefs reside, to find the pearls of nature, hidden in shells which need to be pried open. We enter in deeper and find a grain of sand continually being covered with mother of pearl which an oyster manufactures, a mollusc, without any pollution at all..... absolutely amazing, all to protect the tender body from the grain of sand. The essence and life is manifested by a material coating or body, enabling it  to perform its functions and duties. To understand life in all its forms, we need to understand the intricate design of self sustainability and how each fits into the next with absolute precision and how each gives and receives from each other, without any wastage or pollution, everything is utilized, one's waste is the others nutrition causing a perfect balance. None of this is visible to the eye, the purpose and meaning of things are far more important than the material manifestation of the physical form. This is what we need to know and respect and applies to humans as much as nature. The physical bodies of all creation is but the tip of the iceberg.....

TIP OF THE ICEBERG

ROOTS REACH DEEP

The inner workings of the earth as a whole,

the functions and purpose of the universal soul,

an intricate design of self sustainability,

is what we need to make our responsibility.

The physical bodies are merely the iceberg's tip,

just like a wave is the ocean's lip,

most of what happens is hidden inside,

the purpose and meaning that gives us the ride.

Our minds are like the roots of a tree,

reaching deep into darkness as it seeks to be free,

to understand life we must reach deep within,

finding the secrets perfect balance can bring.

GETTING ALONG

PRESUMPTIONS

Presumptions and lack of communication have caused more relationships to destruct than any other cause. Very few people can express what they feel in their heart, even though we are 90% emotion. When we have a mission or purpose in life it becomes so important that we unintentionally neglect those around us, making them feel left out and isolated. Often a life partner is not at all interested in what our mission is, causing a split where people each go their own direction and start living past each other, until one day, there is nothing left, nothing to share, nothing to discuss, just two strangers under one roof. We should try and share our thoughts and ideas as we go along always keeping each other in the loop and interested in each others missions or hobbies and talk openly about inner feelings before they start festering....

LOVE IN FLESH

WOVEN EMOTIONS

Humans are love manifested in flesh,

emotions woven through us like mesh,

to keep days flowing free and easy,

our lives need to be light and breezy.

We often fall through lack of talking,

turn our backs and keep on walking,

hoard our feelings deep inside,

where it starts a festering ride.

Further and further away we drift,

unable to get the emotions to shift,

lack of communication and wrong assumptions,

cause so many misunderstandings and destruction.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A NOVICE

FIRST TIME ROUND

The knowledgeable man writes the instructions manuals, using language the novice cannot understand. It is his first time walking upon this path, so every step, every detail needs to be clearly laid out and fully explained...it is NOT COMMON SENSE....they need guidance. By the time instructions are laid out and rules are made, most of the detail is long forgotten sending forth incomplete instructions or directions causing us to become lost. So, really, life is trial and error, learning as we go along, mostly through our mistakes, tramping on each other rather often, mostly unintentionally, falling and getting up again, over and over and there doesn't seem to be anyone we can ask for proper guidance or advice. So, if we are ALL able to drop our pride and arrogance and simply admit that life is a work in progress, we can stop blaming each other and start finding ways together....drop all our bitterness which us causing our self destruction, and our wanting revenge, which us preventing our future and start building each other up instead of breaking each other down.....leave what exists and works and work at what is lacking....

DON'T BREAK ONE TO BUILD ANOTHER

ALL WORK TOGETHER

Instructions are written by the smart and clever,

but forget the finer details of never and ever,

those that come behind them stumble and fall,

they miss important steps to help them stand tall.

So it's trial and error as we fall and rise,

tripping and tramping each other with cries,

the instructions are written with no one to ask,

so most of our lives we hide behind a mask.

If ALL are able to surrender their pride,

admit their mistakes without needing to hide,

agree that life is a work in progress,

finding solutions together as part of the process.

Stop blaming each other and pointing fingers,

we remove the anger and bitterness that lingers,

we don't break down to build another,

we lay foundations where none will smother.

AUTHORITY - POWER - FEAR OF PUNISHMENT

PUNISHMENT AND FEAR

Fear is one of our greatest setbacks in life. Fear of trying least we fail and feel inferior, fear of trying least we make a mistake and fear punishment, fear of trying due to lack of knowledge or abilities and skills. But how will we know unless we try and where do we find confidence to try. We take on an attitude of a 'work in progress', making allowances for mistakes,  insecurity due to lack of knowledge and skills and the possibility of achieving what we didn't set out to do. TRYING IS NEVER A FAILURE....IT IS JUST ANOTHER JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY. We discover what we need to develop as skills, we discover what knowledge we need and where to seek for it, when we make mistakes we are open and frank about it, we acknowledge them for therein lays the methods of how to do it correctly. We take our mistakes as detours on our journey of discovery, slightly delaying us while we analyse it, unravel it, and correct it, finding the inner details of success in the correction, the important details we overlooked the first time round. SO.......... NEVER FEAR....ALWAYS TRY...... The greatest fears are bred in inactivity..... get active......

ALWAYS TRY.....IT IS NEVER A FAILURE

JOURNEYS OF DISCOVERY

When we sit and wait,

we build monsters at the gate,

our thoughts are consumed,

our dreams are doomed.

We are chased by all kinds of fears,

feeding our insecurity with many tears,

trying and falling short is never a failure,

it's merely a detour with a different contour.

Every path we take is a journey of discovery,

whether we make it or not is another recovery,

a work in progress is what life is,

our journeys of discovery we find in the breeze.

Always try, always reach for the sky,

on any path we'll always get by,

acknowledge mistakes to expose what's inside,

that way we know we never need to hide.

DRUNK ON POSSESSIONS

LOSING WHO WE ARE

What is lacking in us that we need to search outside ourselves and use material substitutes just to feel like "something or somebody". I have noticed a very real difference between people who have love in their lives, and I'm not talking about human love, but divine love, soul love, and those who are void of this love. The love filled man needs very little around him because his life is filled with true value. The empty man, in the other hand continually seeks outer stimulation, he needs possessions, the suit, the leather shoes, the car, the title to make him FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY.....BUT HE IS STILL A NOBODY BECAUSE HE HASN'T FOUND HIMSELF AND NEVER WILL WHILE SEEKING IN MATERIAL OBJECTS, WHEN C CAN ONLY GRATIFY THE FLESH, BUT NOT THE MIND, NOT THE HEART AND EMOTIONS AND DEFINITELY NOT THE SOUL AND MAN'S TRUE WORTH AND THE PRICE WE PAY IS ENORMOUS.......for every step up the corporate ladder, we take a step down the moral ladder, as it slowly sucks all decency and dignity from us killing us day by day until all that's left is an empty vessel surrounded by dead possessions........what a tragedy..........

BROKEN HUMANITY - BROKEN EARTH

SUCKED EMPTY

Our material greed is killing the earth,

we can't get enough to bring us some worth,

every step we take up the corporate ladder,

we lose another moral and become a little badder.

The more morals we lose the emptier we become, 

our life is sucked away and we become rather glum,

the hole in the soul becomes big and bare,

more and more possessions don't bring us any care.

Our purity and decency has washed down the drain,

all the possessions in the world can't restore its gain,

it can't fill the emptiness growing in our hearts,

can't make the sun shine when each day starts.

The more we are broken the more possessions we need,

the more possessions are made the more the earth does bleed,

our worth and happiness is not somewhere out there,

it's a love that grows and brings complete repair.

OUR EARTH SPEAKS...WITH CRACKS AND GROANS

BROKEN EARTH

All we need can be done without abuse,

for the destruction of the earth there is no excuse,

maybe we lost sight of life's importance,

maybe we never knew the reason of existence.

Have we ever considered that life is life,

all things on earth can do without the strife,

the air, the water, the earth has rights,

so do the animals and plants in our sights.

The things with no voice are trampled by man,

but it surely does speak, just hear if you can,

the air and sun are telling their story,

of how man destroyed it and broke its glory.

The winds have changed as ice melts away,

the earth is moving as it has its say,

it's falling away and cracking open,

showing man how badly it's broken.

DESTRUCTION TO PROSPER

DETERMINED TO WIN

Determination and the will to succeed is a fantastic gift to possess, providing we work within the boundaries set by nature. True success is not measured in money and possessions when our lives are drenched in shame for killing the earth, for showing no respect to nature, the plants, animals, water and air. That is a disgrace. Nobility is the scale on which we measure any of our achievements and successes. How we reached the summit.... what marks we left behind, what damage we have caused the earth and that which lives in and on it....our fellow man and ourselves in a moral sense. Only when the earth, the society and our morals remain intact, regardless and in spite of where we travel or what we do, can we even start talking about success.......we look at the inventions of science and technology and see the devastating trail of destruction left in its wake....the water and rivers, even oceans are polluted, so is the air, the plants, even our physical bodies are so poisoned by modern life. WHAT IS OUR TRUE SUCCESS. We are so 'advanced' and have become so backward.......just look what man is doing to man....not even to mention children......it is HORRIFIC....IT IS A SHAMEFUL DISGRACE......THIS IS NOT A SUCCESS STORY......IT IS A DISASTER.... A TRAGEDY.....

DON'T KILL THE EARTH

MARVEL OF CREATION

Don't kill the earth to gain recognition,

use divine guidance to gain benediction,

there's no success in polluting the earth,

death of nature does not deserve mirth.

We can astral travel without leaving a mark,

we can use telepathy without causing a spark,

the human body is a marvel of creation,

it has so many powers without limitation.

Science and technology leave a trail of destruction,

all because we don't follow the masters instruction,

the natural world manufactures without pollution,

just look at the bee and the honey construction.

Success is not measured in money and possessions,

it's all about nobility and genuine concessions,

we never cause harm to man or earth,

they're living organisms that bring forth birth.

PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

STAY IN THE OPEN

We can never understand life unless we live it, we can never relate to issues on our paths unless we travel those paths and when we do we are bound to take many wrong turns and make many mistakes, it's all part and parcel of the journey. It is how we handle it that makes the difference. Like a snowball coming down a mountain collects more and more snow and grows larger the further it goes, so too are our mistakes, one error puts us on the wrong path and when left unresolved it collects more errors and grows ...like a domino effect. ...leading to more and more errors in the wrong path until it gets totally out of control and causes a major disaster. One thing always leads to another and grows, so we don't let our errors grow, we break them down as soon as we realize it is a wrong move and from there we find the right methods using our mistakes as lessons and not building blocks. Hiding anything is a disastrous trap enfolding us in a cocoon of darkness......ESCAPE.....AND FAST.....AND LIVE OPEN....

LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULL

COCOON OF DARKNESS

We have to live life to know about life,

we will cross some lines and end up with strife,

we will make mistakes and often fall,

it's all just part of life's sweet call.

Like a snowball rolling down a hill,

mistakes also grow making us ill,

they gather more as they roll along,

becoming disaster with a desperate song.

Hiding mistakes is a dangerous snare,

like joining the lion in its lair,

it enfolds us in a cocoon of darkness,

feeding our minds with doom and starkness.

Live your life and lay it open,

expose the things that make us broken,

break them down into little pieces,

overcoming each until the pain releases.

EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY

HEALING

Those who are innocent, pure and undefiled go through life trusting each and all because they have harmed no one and don't expect it to come to them. They are gentle by nature due to the innocence and purity, seeing beauty in all things, so when life hits them there is firstly disbelief.....this must be a mistake, this can't be happening....then pain and disappointment, the shattering disillusionment of broken trust, then the shields come up for self protection, the withdrawal barriers and the fruit hereof often insecurity or loss of interest. The doubt and fear of interacting with people and being stabbed in the heart again, makes us wary and timid. We rather withdraw and not interact, than be bitten again....once bitten, twice shy.....sometimes withholding interaction is construed as insecurity when us fact it isn't at all....it's plain a lack of interest....or we swing the other way and harden ourselves eventually becoming just as bad....hurting each other. Best we can do is lay solid foundations for ourselves expecting nothing from others....learning the art and ability to seek, find and share without expecting returns...always being on the giving side....

EMOTIONAL SHIELDS

BARRIERS OF PROTECTION

The innocent, undefiled and pure,

walk through life with a heart that's sure,

they're gentle with an open mind,

expect no harm with a soul that's kind.

When life hits them it's a mighty shock,

it shatters their innocence with a devastating knock,

total disbelief plays terrible havoc,

pain and disappointment stops the clock.

The horrific disillusionment of broken trust,

causes a mighty crack in the crust,

shields come up for self protection,

building barriers against rejection.

Withdrawn from life is construed as insecurity,

when in fact it's a case of total infurity,

lack of interest for further involvement,

seeking to find some genuine commitment.

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

MORAL SECURITY

We feel small and insignificant and so alone, don't have the courage to just go...

We're always afraid of what might happen. We are so insecure within ourselves. We need so many things to make us feel secure. ..a job, a car, money, a house, we can't just trust that there is a journey wherever we go and what we need for each journey we will find on that journey. We become so dragged down and overloaded with material things to make us feel we are somebody, but it is all a bluff. Who are we without it all???? It is not a suit or title that makes the man, it is virtues and morals that give us the confidence to stand in all circumstances. We know who we are and can stand with or without any of the worldly attachments none of it can change us in any way. We are not dependant on it....it is merely a convenience which is very nice to have, but NOT OUR STATUS AT ALL. OUR STATUS IS BUILT UPON OUR VIRTUES AND VALUES, OUR MORALS AND ETHICS, WHICH ARE UNSHAKABLE.....

#STATUS

SOLID BASIS

Unknown paths are unexplored adventures,

when we're not too afraid to search its treasures,

whatever we need we find upon the paths,

all we take with us is humour and laughs.

When we are insecure in ourselves,

we dare not go where courage dwells,

we find security in material possessions,

holding us down with worldly obsessions.

When virtues and morals build up our status,

we stand very tall on a solid basis,

we don't need a title to make us important,

we find on the road a delightful assortment.

A suit or car is merely a convenience,

it doesn't own us and  is not a reliance,

we know who we are and can stand alone,

our moral security is as hard as a stone.

IF I TELL YOU I'LL HAVE TO KILL YOU !!!!!!!!!

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

Many doors in life are best left closed because one thing leads to another and once defiled, it's a permanent situation. Innocence gone is gone forever, purity gone is gone forever. DO WE KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS? I can tell you but then I'll have to kill you.....is a major warning  that entering that door means escape is only through  death....do we know how escape through death, or is death going to hold us captive? Do we have enough knowledge to enter these doors and why would we want to? Do we calculate the cost first, or drown in the debt, and this is not financial debt, it is moral debt, far, far more difficult to settle than throwing money around.....this cannot be paid with money. It is not so much entering doors marked DO NOT ENTER, it is knowing how to get out again. Nobody wants to be in the helpless situation of being controlled by another, especially not to do evil and then have to live with the consequences.......

ENTERING AND EXITING CLOSED DOORS....

WARNING SIGNALS

Some closed doors are best left alone,

they are paths that turn our hearts to stone,

once we're damaged there's no restoration,

we have to learn to live with the situation.

Do we calculate the cost before jumping in,

or drown in the debt the sorrows bring,

with morals destroyed it's downhill fast,

having nothing to hold onto that will last.

Wherever there are secrets and things to hide,

run very fast to the other side,

it's not worth our life to be held at ransom,

being captives that live in a mansion.

When windows and doors are open wide,

we don't have to sneak around or hide,

free we will be to enjoy each day,

finding adventures on every way.

#FEAR ONLY #DARKNESS

#HOLDING BACK

There is ONLY ONE THING IN LIFE WE SHOULD FEAR.....AND THAT IS DARKNESS IN ANY AND ALL FORMS. DARKNESS COMES IN SO MANY FORMS AND DISGUISES.......

Lack of confidence due to ignorance and lack of skills. This is rectified by studying what we fear until we have sufficient knowledge and skills to dissolve the fear. Then we confidently walk into situations because we know we can overcome it and conquer it because we have trained for it.....so we have no fear and this applies to most things.....

Other darkness:-

Behind closed doors....we fear to venture..

The unknown.... stay in our comfort zone...

Phobias....fears bred from situations and lack of coping abilities...pre birth shocks...

Education....taught to fear instead of to cope...

Traditions and cultures....preventing us from searching the truth...

Sounding dumb....crawl and hide rather than ask questions which may sound dumb....

And many more....

COPING MECHANISMS

SEARCH FOR ANSWERS

Darkness is all that we should fear,

that which is hidden and isn't clear,

we enter life without proper preparation,

then find ourselves trapped in desperation.

Behind closed doors lurk many a snare,

unknown realms where very few dare,

we hold ourselves back with many cares,

restrict our minds with many scares.

We don't want to sound all stupid and dumb,

so we stumble along and fall into wrong,

we're taught to fear instead of to cope,

then run and hide and lose all hope.

Doubt and confusion devours our days,

insecurity and fear mars our ways,

lack of confidence comes from ignorance,

finding knowledge restores our assurance.

COMFORT ZONE......

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

We need to learn how to trust life. Life is light and light is knowledge and wisdom, freedom of choice, freedom of correcting our errors, without being taken captive by it and also understanding what all this means. We cocoon ourselves in a set way and fall into a comfort zone refusing to acknowledge that which is happening around us. We think if we ignore it or pretend it is not there, it will go away, but mostly it doesn't and because we fight it, it hurts us. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN IS A VERY DANGEROUS OBSTACLE ...this is where lives are shattered. When we understand the purpose of life as an opportunity to develop all parts of our being, we are open to free falling, trusting the landing, we are open to new challenges, we can move at the drop of a hat, because we are not anchored to material things, but to life, so when life moves we can lift anchor and move with it, anticipating the unknown, embracing it as another journey of discovery.....

FEAR TO FREE FALL

SPIRITUALLY ANCHORED

Life is not being caught in a rut,

repeating the same like an obedient mut,

life is light and light is change,

through knowledge and wisdom we expose what's strange.

We have no fear of new adventures,

we're always willing to take new measures,

our souls are anchored in virtues and morals,

not stuck in grooves of material values.

We can change with the wind,

and move along with the time,

we always find a way to be free,

our comfort zone is in change that we see.

We move through life as lessons appear,

unravel and explore everything that comes near,

our comforts we find in the spiritual zone,

connected to the core and never alone.

BEING A LIGHT......

COURAGE OF CONFIDENCE

Being a light is a mission in flight, it's fun and exciting, but also quite frightening. When darkness comes running to find an escape, we get such a fright we start running too.....this is only because it feels like they are chasing us, cornering us and it's terrifying, when we don't realize what is actually going on. They are in fact cornering us, with the hope that we will escape and show them how. I think they pray harder than us, that we won't fall, like they did, because then they have to start all over searching for another light. When we run to Jesus, we receive the Holy Spirit.....which is the connection to all knowledge, wisdom, secrets and mysteries and this spirit enters into us, without possessing us, but guiding us and placing the right words in our mouths ....our mouth speaks and our brain catches up about a week later, when the penny drops. So being a light means exposing, revealing and unravelling all matters that confront us.... and opening doors of escape to darkness....

KEEP THE BALL AND SEE WHAT'S INSIDE

LIGHT'S MISSION

Being a light can be rather hectic,

when darkness seeks help it becomes erratic,

they come running to the light to seek an escape,

pushing and shoving outside the gate.

It happens unexpectedly like a thief in the night,

we get such a fright that we take to flight,

but there's nowhere to run as we're surrounded,

we gotta find another way for the truth to be sounded.

Once we realize what is going on,

that they're cornering us to see how we get along,

they pray we won't fall but find our way through,

so they can observe and see what is true.

The mission of a light is to show the way,

expose and reveal that which darkens our day,

unravel and explore and loosen the snares,

unlock the chains and lift all the cares.

DRAWING DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT

LIGHT IN THE DARK

Most people land in darkness without planning it, they never saw it coming, they never expected it and then it catches them. When there is a light shining in the dark, they come closer with the hope of finding an escape, without exposing themselves, least it is another fake light and they get used as an example to others not to try and escape... So they are terrible tortured and punished for coming to the light...so when they do come they need to be sure it is real and safe and they will make it through. They will first test the light, to see if it is genuine and not yet another false light, another trap of which they have had an abundance. They will test the light with the very things that trapped them to watch and observe how the light deals with it and if the light will still shine or go dim or even go off. So many of us, when tried and tested, turn and hide, because it is a very terrifying experience when we don't know what is happening. When we know we are being tested to help others escape, it is not so terrifying and we stand. It is exactly here where we need to use the tribulations, test and trials as fuel for our light to shine brighter, not so much for our sake, but for the sake of those who are desperately seeking a way out. Darkness tries to avoid the light so those who who come to the light are obviously wanting a way out...... so we shine the light on the exits and escape routes and help them....they need all the help they can get until they understand how things work...the indwelling spirit that is with them all the time and they are never alone....

DEVOURING TRIBULATIONS

RISE HIGHER

Devouring tribulations can be such fun,

as we frolic and play under the glorious sun,

every trial and test brings fresh information,

taking us deeper into a different situation.

Those who believe shine like lights in the dark,

they have the ability to ignite a new spark,

show different ways out of sticky situations,

open the doors to upliftment and restorations.

Those stuck in darkness that come to the light,

are trying to escape from the evil of the night,

they will first test the light from a little distance,

to ensure it's not fake and bring more resistance.

When the light burns strong and glows even brighter,

it opens more doors which makes darkness lighter,

the chains and shackles start falling away,

as the captives find a new game to play.

NO #FEAR, MERELY #OBSTACLES

USE OBSTACLES TO GROW

The right outlook on life alleviates our fear. When we see all events and happenings as training to help us and others through us, we embrace it and don't fear it....we walk into it with complete openness to learn what we can, we are humble and ask questions as we go along. We have no aggression, no anger, no fear, simply because we are not a threat. When we come across people stuck in various situations, we walk with them, we talk with them, we show them what we would do to side step situations or get out of them, therefore they don't fear us and we don't fear them. We are on the same path to help each other, not harm each other and when things are exposed, it is not to cause shame or guilt, but to unravel it to bring solutions and new ways forward. When we're there for the right reasons, to help, not use, not abuse, not belittle, not trap, just to help, call a spade a spade, we have NO REASON TO FEAR ANYTHING OR ANYONE....

Monica Maartens ©Copyright

ALL THE RIGHT REASONS....

OPENING TRAPS

When we move through life with reasons that are right,

all fear evaporates in the brightness of the light,

we believe all events have the purpose to teach,

so into the darkness or light we may easily reach.

We do not come to use or abuse,

we do not come to scatter or confuse,

we do not come to belittle or trap,

but rather to help each other out of a rap.

When we come across people stuck in situations,

we walk with them, talk with them, lift the aberrations,

we walk the same path to help each other along,

laugh together, cry together, sing each other a song.

When we walk into darkness like an open book,

for all the right reasons and not to crook,

we expose what is wrong to find a solution,

unravel the snares to find the intrusion.

#KNOWING THE #FACTS....#CONFIDENCE

NO FEAR

Before we surf on the waves, we learn more about the ocean, counting the seventh wave, reading the water, knowing about the currents and tides, then we learn how to balance, float, what to do in an emergency and only then do we venture onto the waves to surf. Likewise with life, when we want to enter an area of life, we find all we can on it, we learn the rules that apply to the particular game in life, we learn the abilities and skills we require to succeed, we search the pro's and con's, the up's and down's, in's and out's, of what to expect and this makes all the difference to whether we will sink or swim. Once again we need reliable advice and counsel for when we become stuck. The more exposure and knowledge we gain, the stronger becomes our confidence which changes our attitude to one of adventure, exploration and courage. Even though we sometimes fail doesn't scare us away, we know failures are but stepping stones and successes are building bricks. Confidence and attitude goes a long way towards success....

LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD

#FEARLESSLY REACHING AHEAD

The man with a purpose looks straight ahead,

threats don't bring him fear or dread,

he acquires the abilities and skills he needs,

as off knowledge and wisdom he feeds.

Trouble comes to those who fear,

their inability to cope is clear,

they fall around from pillar to post,

always having to play the host.

Advisors and counsellors need to come on board,

not someone the common man can afford,

but Jesus Christ comes free of charge,

guiding our paths safely by and large.

Having solid backup brings us confidence,

with courage to gain exciting experience,

with an attitude to reach out for more,

we fearlessly move ahead to explore.

COST OF RIGHT CONNECTIONS

HOW AND WHERE DO WE CONNECT

Our world is basically divided in light and darkness, day and night, one light controls the day and the other the night. It is not possible for any to walk only in the light because so many of our paths travel through the darkness. Whether we're in the light or darkness we must know HOW NOT to be trapped and held there. We all go through experiences in different ways in different depths....it is part of our journey to become complete ...to see both sides of the coin to give depth to our understanding. We all feel joy, happiness, 

pride, satisfaction, success, we also feel hurt, pain, disappointment, rejection, failure, shame, regret, anger....it is all part of developing our emotional department. But....we MUST NOT BECOME STUCK IN DEPRESSION, HELPLESSNESS, RAGE, ETC. We experience the pain, we analyse it, understand it, store the information and knowledge it brought us and throw the pain away, it has served its purpose...... and we move on. To do this we need help, advice, guidance to find the right knowledge and this is where the right connection comes in...Jesus experienced all these emotions and conquered even death so it is wise to connect to where the experience, knowledge and wisdom we need can be found.....we turn our back on the destruction of these dark emotions and turn our face towards the solutions. We don't need to change our ways, jobs, home, friends as WE WILL CHANGE AND BECOME A NEW CREATION THROUGH UNDERSTANDING AND CLARITY.......and can then turn around and help our friends see what we see, find what we have found. AS WE CHANGE SO THINGS AROUND US START CHANGING....friends may leave and new ones arrive, our job may no longer be what we want, so we change it, so the changes happen over time. THIS IS THE ONLY COST.....WALK WITH THE SOLUTION - THAT'S ALL - NOW DO IT.   

We commit our spirit into Jesus hands and ask for the Holy Spirit and the connection is made, then don't trash it, walk with it....

Monica Maartens ©Copyright

THE EXPERIENCED GUIDE....

FULL CIRCLE

There is no cost to make a connection,

we just need to follow the right direction,

we all travel through the emotional range,

the trick is not to be caught in a cage.

We all experience some happiness and pleasure,

we all get dragged through pain in some measure,

it's all just part of the emotional department,

showing us how to let go of resentment.

When we're taken through emotions that make us feel bad,

we got to move through to break from the sad,

we analyse it, understand it then let it fly,

only keep the knowledge that lifts to the sky 

We commit our spirit to make the connection,

accept the Holy Spirit which shows us correction,

then turn our back on all the destructions,

and follow the paths off constructive solutions.
