ANGER ZONE

FORCES OF DARKNESS

Anger and rage darken our view,

negativity is all we can spew,

our joy and love is sucked away,

bringing doom into our every day.

Love and peace sets our spirits free,

spirit, dear spirit that we cannot see,

the actual us hidden deep inside,

terribly tormented by the hatred around.

A spirit is loving and gentle and kind,

trying to direct the thoughts of our mind,

our brain keeps telling us to listen to the world,

believe all the trash that destroys our worth.

It's time we make a stand for who we are,

refuse to join the forces of disaster,

stop the revenge by not passing it on,

breaking the chains with a freedom song.

STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

OUR DUTY TO FIND THE RIGHT PATH...

Life and events come and go all the time, it's just what happens - it's like a cycle that is set in motion with all the experiences we need to go through to develop all parts of us to reach completion....becoming a fully fledged human being with soul, spirit, heart and mind all working in harmony, equipping us for any future journeys. It is packed with all possible tests and situations, almost like an instruction manual. Our ignorance doesn't count, excuses mean nothing, you can't argue with an instruction manual, the events are going to come anyway. We receive the gift of life, a vessel or body to live in, fully equipped with all the tools we need....hands, feet, eyes, ears, a voice, a thinking brain and OUR LIFE IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND WE MUST SEE TO IT THAT WE FIND THE CORRECT KNOWLEDGE.....THAT WE FIND THE PATH THAT WILL TAKE US RIGHT THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE.

TO FIND THE NARROW PATH - the thin line that stops with us.....pain, hurt, injustices, insults, degradation, anger, etc stops with us ..... we refuse to pass it on. Instead of crossing that line and going into the circle that goes round and round and round again and again, by returning pain, hurt, injustices, anger, etc. ..WE CHOOSE TO GO THE STRAIGHT PATH DOING WHAT IS RIGHT, GOOD, HONOURABLE AND KIND. Often in life we DO NOT RECEIVE WHAT WE GIVE.....WE GIVE LOVE, WE RECEIVE HATRED IN RETURN, WE GIVE KINDNESS ONLY TO BE USED AND ABUSED. BUT.......WE CONTINUE GIVING LOVE AND KINDNESS SO IT WILL REMAIN WITH US. REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE RECEIVE, WE LOVE IN SPITE OF THE HATRED, ANGER AND RAGE, SO LOVE KEEPS LIVING IN US. When we go around the circle and hate in return, hate takes up residency inside us and eats away all our love. The reason we continue to love is because we understand that those spreading hatred are hurt and lost, so instead of being angry with them, we show empathy and compassion on their affliction. THIS IS MY VIEW OF THE NARROW PATH THAT SO FEW FIND........ DOING WHAT IS GOOD, DECENT, CIVIL, KIND, LOVING IN THE FACE OF ALL THE UNFAIRNESS AND EVILS OF THE WORLD, SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO LIVE WITHIN US, SO THAT IS WHAT WE NURTURE AND PRACTISE. Refusing to be dragged down those paths of darkness. This is very difficult to do, especially when living in a continuously abusive situation....BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT NOT TO BE SUCKED IN BECAUSE THEN OUR LIVES BECOME VERY BITTER AND DARK. IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL OURSELVES TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THE DEFILEMENT AND DEPRAVATION OF HATRED IN OUR LIVES. It is a choice we must make and hold on to because on this path all things are revealed to us and we always find our answers, our way and our truth and an incredible peace abides within us.....©

Tomorrow.......what are spiritual forces ???

PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

NARROW PATH

The gift of life we receive at birth,

the delightful privilege to explore this earth,

the life we live is our responsibility,

sooner or later we'll give accountability.

There's the narrow path we need to find,

living with the values that do not bind,

when we hang on to love with a heart that's pure,

we will find this path of that I am sure.

We love regardless of the hatred we receive,

so love will reside in our lives I believe,

we don't cross the line to where revenge abounds,

it takes us to the circle that goes round and round.

Hatred takes us residency within our hearts,

destroying all our love as it rips us apart,

instead we use our love to understand those that rage,

giving compassion to help them turn the page.

INVISIBLE WORLD

OPENING DOORS TO SPIRITUAL FORCES
Words and deeds are like seeds we plant, that grow and bear fruit....have consequences ..... The worst of these consequences are not how it affects others, but what is does to US. When we are hurt by others actions or words and we retaliate, take revenge, become angry and rage, swear and curse IT HAS CAUSED US TO DO EVIL AND WICKED THINGS.....TURNING US DARK INSIDE. 
When we are hurt and take a moment to consider why it hurts, we analyse it, dig into it and by doing so we improve ourselves, bringing about understanding, enlightenment and forgiveness, removing the hurt and setting us free from others actions.....those actions can no longer hurt us, because we now know how to deal with it, becoming the conquerors of life's situations. We overcome the urge to retaliate and take revenge, preventing us from doing evil.....BIG DIFFERENCE ......SAME SITUATION. Here we opened TWO DIFFERENT DOORS  - ONE IS ANGER = DARKNESS, THE OTHER IS UNDERSTANDING = LIGHT. IT IS WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO WITH WHAT COMES OUR WAY. It is said: all things come to all alike, whether rich or poor, male or female, young or old and the reason they come is for us to become equipped to handle it. We can and will when we OPEN THE DOOR OF LIGHT - WHICH IS OBTAINING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF EACH AND EVERY EVENT AND SITUATION. When we panic, become confused and scared, use attack as a form of defense, retaliate, etc......we OPEN THE DOOR OF DARKNESS AND GET EVEN MORE HURT BY IT - CAUSING US TO LASH OUT MORE - BRINGING MORE OF THE SAME BACK, MORE HURT, MORE ANGER, MORE RETALIATION, AGGRAVATING THE SITUATION UNTIL IT BREAKS US. Today we have money, tomorrow we are broke, so what, IT SHOULDN'T CHANGE WHO WE ARE AND WHEN WE SEE BOTH EXPERIENCES A SOMETHING TO EXPLORE AND RIDE, WE DRIFT THROUGH THEM BOTH. We need to cope with many ups and downs in life journey and when we have the light inside us, we will always find the message, the purpose, the meaning and get through it all unscathed. So.....when any situation crosses our path, OPEN THE DOOR OF LIGHT.....©

Tomorrow.....we will see what comes forward....

FINDING OUR WAY

OPENING RIGHT DOORS

Deeds and words are seeds we plant,

reaching the spiritual world as we chant,

our reactions to the events that occur,

are the doors we open with what we conjure.

One situation can open two doors,

one into darkness bringing things we deplore,

the other into light with options to explore,

opening understanding that brings the best score.

When hurt opens doors of anger that controls,

the fruits of darkness defile our souls,

we rant and rage to return the pain,

taking us even further from our gain.

When we take each event to find the reasons,

we will see how life changes like the seasons,

there are times of silent deep reflection,

as enlightenment brings things to perfection. ©

UNITED WE STAND

COOPERATION
As with anything, the wheels turn when all parties cooperate. So too in the unseen spiritual world except we are unaware of it. Forces of darkness gain access through our 'sins' or selfish deeds - lying, stealing, blackmail, extortion of money or favours, manipulation, greed, envy, sloth, disobedience, rebellion, to name a few. By doing deeds of darkness we automatically give permission by opening doors into our lives. We've given our cooperation by being involved and accepting help from wrong sources. The Holy Spirit, likewise, needs our cooperation to be able to operate through us and this we gladly give because it keeps us free and is beneficial to our wellbeing and healthy outlook on life. I always say the spirit works through our gut and brain simultaneously - we get a gut feeling, a movement in our belly just under the rib cage, and at the same time a thought passes through our mind ....like a premonition, a warning and then we should react on it. It happens to warn us when we are doing something wrong, or when bad weather is coming, like a hail storm, at times we take a different route to drive to work or town, for some unknown reason, only to find a serious accident occurred on our usual route. WE GET A FEELING and when we do we should investigate it and do something about it. WE NEED TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEELING. I for one DON'T BELIEVE IN ACCIDENTS....I BELIEVE IT IS AN ARRANGEMENT, SAME WITH ILLNESS.....I BELIEVE IT IS AN INFLICTION....IT IS INFLICTED UPON US DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE OPEN TO IT  When we use spiritual health assurance, we are covered by the Holy Spirit - sealed from disease if you wish. I take NOTHING AT FACE VALUE.... I TEST ALL THINGS TO SEE IF THEY ACTUALLY WORK IN REAL LIFE. With disease, as well, we can actually feel it entering our body, WHEN WE ARE AWARE OF IT, WHEN WE KNOW WHAT SIGNS AND FEELINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR, so when we FEEL IT ENTER, WE MUST REACT TO THE FEELING BY USING OUR VOICE AND LOUDLY CASTING IT OUT.... .REACTION....COOPERATION WITH THE WARNING OF THE SPIRIT...THE FEELING IT GAVE US. A SPIRIT NEEDS OUR VOICE AND BODY THROUGH WHICH TO OPERATE AND PLEASE BELIEVE ME, WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD ABROAD, WE BELONG TO THE SPIRITS OF DARKNESS....IT IS EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER, THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN ...WE HAVE BELONG TO ONE OR THE OTHER. THERE IS NO NOMANS LAND.... When I feel tired I ask for a spiritual booster injection, and I'm fine, or a headache, I cast it away in Jesus name and the vice grip that holds my head and squeezes it vanishes and releases and the headache is gone....a pain in my chest, or back, I cast it away in Jesus name....THIS HAS NEVER FAILED ME, I HAVE TESTED IT OVER AND OVER WITH 100% SUCCESS RATE. The spiritual realm operates through the spoken word... instructions, thus is why it is written: "do not worry about what you shall say, as it will be given you at the time, for it is not you that speak, but the spirit that speaks through you." Matt 10:19,20. Therefore it is not about how knowledgeable and clever we are, we can never know all things and every situation, but be sure that we have the spirit of life and truth living inside us and not the spirits of darkness. WE ARE ALL UNDER THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL INFLUENCES and the sooner we wise up to it, the sooner we will gain a far better understanding of what influences our thoughts, decisions and actions......©

Tomorrow.....opening the right spiritual doors.....

EARTHBOUND SPIRITS

SPIRITUAL INFLUENCES

Like it or not, it's an actual fact,

believe it or not, it's what we lack,

the spiritual forces which travel on earth,

have been part of us since we're given birth.

We are used and influenced without our awareness,

we are directed onto paths through fear and scaredness,

by doing what is wrong we open the doors,

allowing forces of darkness to use our flaws.

We need to awaken to the underlaying truth,

the fact that spiritual forces play with our worth,

find and become part of the Spirit of light,

filling us with understanding and deep insight.

We don't want to die with our souls in wrong hands,

our spirits earthbound as they search through the lands,

stuck in dungeons of darkness where we can't find the light,

groping in sorrows and regrets because we refused to gain sight. ©

BREAKING FREE

GET CONTROL BACK

To live a free life is so very precious, it's worth so much more than material encumbrances. We do not realize its value until we have lost it. We do not realize the value of many things until we don't have it any more and then guilt and regrets eat away at us. They say "narrow is the path of life and few find it", but this is not really the case.......when we live according the the rules of life and freedom, the world truly is our oyster. There is nothing that can hold us back or restrict us, it's simply a matter of obeying the true rules of life, which is LOVE.....GODLY LOVE, NEIGHBOURLY LOVE, NOT SEXUAL LUST. To be able to go through life without owing anybody anything - no apologies, no regrets, no paybacks, no strings attached, which is not difficult when we do it day by day, hour by hour, as a way of life. If we can't do what we want to through honest effort, working our way through closed doors, or paying our own way, WE DON'T DO IT......LEAVE IT.....DON'T BECOME INVOLVED IN EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL..... It is a complete lifestyle. When we veer off the paths of righteousness and pure justice, the paths then become extremely narrow.....like a constricted tunnel through which we must squeeze lined with thorns and brambling bushes cutting and tearing at our lives. We eventually become so knotted up in the webs we weave that we cannot move at all and become strangled in the deceit. We are forced to become hardened because it is the only way to survive the harsh life and who want to only survive and not live life to the full. When we kill our conscience and heart, we kill a very big part of who we are and deprave ourselves from genuine joy and happiness - everything becomes mediocre and cheap....there is no more respect or cherishing anything. 

The only way I know to escape and break free is through the truth and for that we need the spirit of God to direct us, to become one, to join our spirit to Gods Spirit, bringing us complete freedom. It is not about being sin free, or perfect, or in the right place at the right time, it is all about having the spirit of truth residing within us.....THIS IS THE DIVINE CONNECTION....WITHOUT THIS, WE ARE NOT SAVED, WE ARE NOT OKAY.....THIS INDWELLING SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN ANY SPIRIT OF THE EARTH OR WORLD AND THIS IS HOW WE BREAK THE HOLD OF DARKNESS, MISERY, SORROW, REGRETS, FEAR AND CONFUSION IN OUR LIVES. IT IS NOT A PHYSICAL FREEDOM, NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO, IT IS A SPIRITUAL RELEASE.....SOMETHING WE NEED TO HAVE. We find the true purpose of life, giving us wings to fly again. The purpose is to unite, firstly to the Creator of all things, to creation as a whole and to bring soul, spirit, mind and heart into a complete and divine union. We then find direction and meaning in life, bringing with it deep satisfaction, contentment, enormous relief as we find the everlasting treasures that take us from journey to journey, always moving forward, never having to go back to fix, return, apologize or pay back.....our slate is clean, daily and remains clean giving us all the space and time in the world and we find true happiness ....the filling of the soul....©

Tomorrow....cooperation is required with the Holy Spirit to really get ahead....it is ALL IN......

WINGS TO FLY

FREEDOM ROAD

The paths of righteousness and open and wide,

with clarity seeing from side to side,

there are no debts or strings attached,

only treasures and pleasures that are unmatched.

We find the connection to the paths of truth,

the spirit of life that enhances our youth,

it unites us to creation as a whole,

bringing together spirit, heart and soul.

We receive our wings to fly in freedom,

making us one with this Godly kingdom,

direction and meaning bring great satisfaction,

keeping us fed from the river of elation.

Adventures of discovery embrace our days,

moving forward with delight and joy on our ways,

the oyster opens up the pearls of wisdom,

the gold and jewels of everlasting freedom. ©

DARKNESS SWALLOWS US

BECOMING TRAPPED

Our outlook on life and state of mind take us onto different paths and levels of existence where we meet like minded fellow travellers. We 'arrive' on a circle in life which keeps going around and around. On these circles are recruiters that test us to see how far we are willing to go - we find this in clubs, societies, the business world, even in relationships in a very subtle form. We become tools in the hands of others, blissfully unaware of where this will lead. Most of what happens in our lives are not due to our hard work, or lack thereof, but because of selection. These circles we are on start spiraling, either into the light with more enlightenment and awareness, or into darkness with more frustration and confusion. Once we start spiraling it is not so easy to stop it and it gets out of control. When we are spiraling into the light it's okay because we are heading in the right direction, not so with the darkness, it becomes a web that eventually cocoons us. We all need and use each other to some or other degree with one enormous difference : those in the light share with others their knowledge of freedom without strings attached - it is considered a gift to have the ability to receive the wisdom of the light and therefore it is given as a gift to others. The darkness however does nothing without a return - there are always strings attached - you owe me one - here nothing is done without some form of  payback......so, yes, we do prosper - but at what cost? What is the payback for doors being opened for us to prosper? It is normally of an emotional kind - guilt, shame, wrongdoing that we want to keep hidden....dirt on us - things we cannot pay off with money and it is here where we are swallowed by darkness and become trapped, being forced into situations where we do not wish to be, but are helpless to avoid. One of life's greatest frustrations is helplessness, where someone else has taken control of a part of our lives. This places us under a cloud of doom and gloom, awakening many fears and enormous frustration leading to irritation, anger and outbursts, normally against the wrong people, like our spouse and children, those closest to us. We never know when and how this payback is going to come, but we know it will and each time it spirals deeper into a helpless darkness of despair. THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE A HAPPY, FREE, CONTENTED LIFE WITH THESE HEAVY CHAINS OF REGRET HANGING AROUND OUR NECKS......©

Tomorrow..... breaking free again.....
