Be a living lighthouse sending peaceful and powerful vibrations to connect all souls and nature in harmony. Though a dim bulb isn't good for reading, an enlightened mind sees better. The world needs more positive influences through faith, awareness, and action to improve life for all. It's time to listen to the heart and use common sense. Where we focus our attention determines what we think about most and the energy we produce. We must ask in every situation if we're acting skillfully from the heart to deal with challenges. People are divided; those aware should gently enlighten others. Find agreement in disagreement and stop escalating negativity. radiate kindness in all you do, say, and go. One light dispels
What is Success it has many definitions money, wealth, power, influence but to me its much more than that- here is my interpretation of what success means not saying its wrong or right but see a lot of pain in world on people trying to achieve success but misses key pieces of puzzle what do you think ?
1. Be Creative!
2. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What helps you to be creative?
3. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook
4. The Target of Life is a very helpful way to understand our individual and collective well-being.
5. When you’re centered in the heart of the Target of Life, you’re at your best and life seems brighter. You see clearly and therefore make optimal decisions. You feel peaceful, loving, energetic, and happy. You’re in a good position to handle just about anything. However, when things happen that go against our desires and expectations, it’s easy to get pulled off center.
6. We experience more fear and negativity. We say and do things we regret. The immune system weakens and our productivity declines. We lose touch with what’s really important to us. Unhealthy stress increases and our sensitivity toward others decreases. And the further away from the center we move, the worse it gets!
7. That’s why it’s so important to catch early signs of stress, and to use all of our creativity to stay as centered as possible. When we are centered in the heart on the Target of Life, difficulties still crop up, but we can handle them much more smoothly and effectively. The more centered we are, the greater our well-being, the wiser our choices, and the more effective we are in everything we do.
8. Creativity is the power to bring something new and useful into existence.
9. You are an enormously creative person! That creativity is always within you, and you must express it in order to experience the satisfaction and joy that is your birthright.
10. Terrorism, widespread public scandals, economic uncertainties, international conflicts, and a host of other problems have launched us into a turbulent, yet potential-filled 21st century. Has the full measure of our creativity ever been needed more?
11. A life brimming with creativity is no longer the luxury of a few; it’s the duty and privilege of all of us.
12. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are some factors that keep people from becoming more creative?
13. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Roadblocks that typically prevent capable people from expressing their creativity more fully: Thinking “I’m not very creative.” Fear of criticism from others. “That’s not my job.” Stress, Laziness, Self-Criticism. “There’s only one right way.”
14. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Wasting time on nonessentials. “You have to follow the rules.” Too much talk, too little doing. Fear of failure. Resistance to change. Limiting beliefs. Worrying about who gets credit. Lack of faith.
15. Though we express it in different ways and to varying degrees, creativity is a gift that has been given in abundance to each of us.
16. Continually remind yourself of this truth: You are a

Transform yourself through dialoging. As a fledgling out of college from the University of Oregon, and entering the corporate sales world of NYC, one of the first things I learned was to ‘never’ argue or debate with a customer or prospect, but to use skillful means to inquire as to why they hold a contrary opinion. Of course, in rare cases, they may be closed to any engagement without their own opinion having a barbed wire gate barrier, in which case it’s a good idea to avoid the barbed wire, and change the subject, before coming in from another angle if possible. The self question might be asked, ‘is it better to find a more open prospect/person’?
The Organ Grinder’s Monkey is akin to the lies that spew from ‘controllers of the narrative’ be they leaders of the world, or the cheating husband. Spreaders of ‘fairy dust’. Lies mollify the ground of those who benefit from the lies. Everybody is looking for the easiest most available answer especially if it requires no thinking. Our world is changing faster than most all are - that’s a formula for disaster.

Higher is stronger, yet is strongest when with higher energy than with lower. Most relationships are ones that have both struggling with love, both for themselves and the other. Clearly a recipe for a broken marriage that needs constant fixing to reset it before the next breakdown. Whatever kind of ‘relationship (or relation-shit)’, the lower energy has an unseen effect. Positive energy may be strong and desirable, but is more susceptible to negativity when its positive demeanor can’t reposition itself to ‘stay away’ from the negativity.

Don’t Change! ❌

July 31, 2022
Always count your change, it never runs out! Change happens of its own accord but always each has the opportunity to change for the better. Although that ‘changing’ today seems to be the decision to be male, female or transgender and may or may not be the best example of ‘change’. Telling others that they need to adapt to who they really are inside through changes they need to make, and you might find it better left unsaid and adapt changes in you to tune into them. Most will say, why change? If someone doesn’t like it? Tough, it’s their loss. Let them cast aspersions.
Stick to defending who you’ve come to accept you as you are, and others need to too…no matter. Hmmmm? That’s a recipe for keeping those away who’ve set the bar higher for themselves. The only thing permanent is ‘Change’. Better that you be in charge for the change that’s inevitable anyway. The deep inner you is perfect with all the qualities that anyone can call up and make God proud.
The way out of your closet of undesirable habits; including sorrows and all clinging negative issues that are better traded in for ones that make you an entity of love that can reflect anyone else the same, and as clear as a mirror is first to decide to do it. Like with anything that needs developing, time, patience, perseverance for evolvement bring results that you sought. Seek and you shall find, and be open to help from others who’ve climbed to higher inner bars.
Drop the teflon shield from any and all criticism. Have you harbored a dystopian like nightmare within that crouches from every positive opportunity? Have you sown the seeds within for your own eventual downfall into a compartmentalized false protectiveness from the inner growth of the seeds of qualities that you don’t allow growth?
In the old testament are the names of two cities, Sodom and Gomorrah. The people of those two cities had become so perverted that they were doing all kinds of unnatural, psychological acts. The whole sexuality thing had gone astray and bizarre. Those two place must have been like California, or even Portlandia, Oregon.
The story goes that God tried hard to change these people. But to change anyone is a very difficult task, even for a God - because the very idea that somebody is trying to change you is antithetical and insulting, even if the change is for your good, and even if there is no vested interest for the person who is trying to change you. Oh, and God gave up on changing them and decided to destroy both places.
The very idea that somebody is trying to change you creates an unconscious resistance not to change. Be open to those who are more adept at something than you, and who sincerely want to give you their gifts of accomplishments. Learning to love and like yourself is in you DNA - you just need to nurture the hidden gifts, and gifts must be opened to experience the joy.

We are in a war of ‘deception’! This thing called a ‘shot’ was an invented bio and techno weapon. Biowarfare has been unleashed on you and your family! Mass murder. A well orchestrated plot to accomplish the goal of depopulation by murder. Pfizer executives have come out and admitted that the vaccine did not stop the spread of anything.
It’s always time to be on vacation with God and leave unnecessary stressing to seek the love within. God is an archetype at least. An ‘archetype’ being an image of something that represents a symbol that may or may not be a ‘myth’ as representing certain qualities. It is commonly prevalent in religions and spiritual experiences.
Having the ‘right stuff’ to disengage from a negative moment is a reach into ‘free again, independent me again’! Think about in a car being stuck in the snow, sinking mud, or the sand at the beach. If you’ve got the right tires, a little desire will pull you out of the quagmire to let you go on with the day. Knowing how to stay away from negativity, or if you have no choice, it’s good to have the ‘right stuff’ in your abilities to deescalate the dilemma.
If ‘they’ can take away your finances on a job to live, you’re being a robot if you obey orders without following the highest consciousness. We may ‘work’ to make a living, but have you sold your soul to the company store (like from the song ’16 tons’)? No one should ever agree to initiate harm to another to be compromised with the highest values of life. To keep our livelihood coming in we are told to ‘trust’ those who are paying us and not think for ourselves.
Why let your love take its toll. Mend the broken wings of love!
Partner’s in bliss are real. Rare but real, and it all begins with you in a state of bliss and inner joy of who you really are. It has been called ‘enlightenment’ or the inner light being one to guide you through every moment, even in challenging ones the inner light is on. It’s like a ‘nut and bolt screwed together’. To work, they each must be compatible and if not, only great force will make them work, and most likely the connection is a dud.
Good luck in figuring which side is telling more of the truth! Today, at this time of ‘discombobulation’ or ‘he said-she said and/or they said’ who knows what to think?
Most of course don’t ‘think’ and fall into what some call ‘apathy which is know as the 8th Deadly Sin’ although some say ‘acedia’ is really the old 7th deadly sin of ‘Sloth’. (maybe there is a 9th deadly sin of ‘Arguing’ especially about how many sins there are). Who cares what’s ‘first, fourth, seventh especially when there may be better ones (worse) and/or more?
The ‘elite, illuminati, military Industrial complex, big Pharma, ‘the media’, artificial intelligence controllers, oligarchy, etc., or what ever those who seemingly control the planet, need competition. The competition needs to be so strong that the ‘controllers’ become ‘the conscious people’. The competition is you and I. Everyone ‘reseting themselves’ before a greedy, mind control reset takes place where we are tactically immobilized from making a difference.
All children need the best preparation to becoming ‘adults of light’, but all it may take to divert that path to a wonderful life is a call from a neighbor to the CPS, aka the ‘Child Protection Services’. This organization is factually proven, more and more recently, as sometimes being a ‘child ‘’trafficking’' service’ to take children from non abusive parents that often could be called ‘placing them in abusive foster non-care’.
What’s love but a second hand emotion if it lives in fear? Lot’s of things can be faked but for those with all faculties working, fake is fake. Can artificial intelligence write a thesis about artificial intelligence? Can Ai feel but artificially? Where is love, how can someone show you? What is love? Can you be shown? For the mind, perhaps. For the heart, you have to experience it, then it may be anywhere from fake love, light love to deep love and even deeper. Words can only point to the moon, not the experience of reality.
Your partner is a reflection of you. My partner journey has been an unusual experience in that I’ve had many, with a few more challenging than others, but all were a reflection of who I am, and for them I’m a reflection of who they have been. All were a reflection of self love, unique and individual. For good or bad, the same is for you and any denial of that is a denial of your realization of self love.
A favorite song of mine popularized in the 1970’s was by Marvin Gaye, ’What’s Goin’ on’?
You’re running out of time! You’re allowing your negative habits to run your life ‘in place’, and going no where. Soon ‘artificial intelligence’ will convince you, with out you realizing it, that they are you even by convincing you that it’s an absurd thought, but it can happen by osmosis. Artificial Intelligence (Ai) will convince you that you are smarter and smarter, but that’s all ‘artificial’
Why be a hypothetical villain of your own imagination? Are we living under a chokehold? ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ is a famous quote from Patrick Henry’s speech in 1775. Can America breathe like it once did. Do we have to live in fear of what we say, further triggering 'breath supremacists’ controllers to use the mainstream media as if it's God's spokesman?
Having trouble in the ‘ruble of your mind’? Only having a ‘near life experience’? Have you become indoctrinated with the lies of the world, and especially who you think you are? Most in America are supporting the new Nazi reborn from German Hitler’s time. The new Nazi is now the ‘Not-See’. To ‘not-see’ who we are behind all the accepted fake illusion of who they’ve played out as a construct of other’s opinions, misinterpreting and not seeing the good and/or bad as but opportunities to move up in consciousness. Life is more than a ‘teleprompter’ but a script to be written with enthusiasm to make up in a life of value.
At this moment, abortion laws are once again, (after 50 years of the Supreme Court decision of ‘Roe vs Wade’ to legalize abortion with no restrictions), coming before the highest court for further clarity of consciousness. There have been ongoing ‘mind wars’ over the extreme sides of either no abortions to abortions even after birth. Common sense is not only not so common on this subject, but its definition is up for grabs bolstered by ‘agendas’ of politics and religions.
Writings, quotes, blurbs or gibberish found on or around urinal surfaces; of or pertaining to distinctive doctrine, theory, beliefs, systems or practice. A ‘tik tok’ mind is one that either initiates false information or one that interprets any information different than it was intended, generally causing the recipients negative reaction. Ticky Tocky, superficial, poorly positive thinking minds are everywhere, and especially in the mainstream media supporting disingenuous politicians and the like. Call it ‘yellow journalism’ or negative, uninformed thoughts coming from your own head or someone else’s.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Be a living lighthouse
1. Be a Living Lighthouse
August 19, 2021
Be a living lighthouse sending peaceful and powerful
vibrations to each soul and all forms of nature, so they
feel the harmony of mutual belonging on this planet. A
25 Watt light bulb may not be the best reading light,
but the 100 watt mind sees things better. We need a
world of ‘lights’ to drown out the darkness that pervades individuals and the collective that is
being dimmed by lies and technology out of control. There has been no more serious time than
now to ‘reboot’ all the positives we have from faith, to self awareness, and action to make it a
better world for you and all.
It’s time to listen to the heart as well as the mind of reason and common sense. Wherever we
focus our attention is where our thoughts are directed with most frequency and interest. Thus
energy is produced in this direction, whether positive and bene
fi
cial energy or negative and
harmful energy. Too many complicated minds that think too much about the obstacles and
negative. Digging for the real truths below the placating, misinformation that is being fed for
those too lazy to do ‘due diligence’ is vital.
We need to ask ourselves in every situation, am I using
the most ‘skillful means’ and from heart energy to deal
with all that comes before us. Torpedo the heartless
mind. People today are extremely divided in thinking
and behaviors. Those who feel more aware need to
‘turn the lights on’ gently in the interaction with all.
Find ways to agree with what you disagree with. Stop
going further into the negative. Many are not ready for
your view. Be like a salesman and agree and
fi
nd
acceptable ways of questioning another. Know when
you can’t or shouldn’t further a conversation.
Become the one who
fl
ies forward with blessings for everyone. Always
move forward, upward, and onward like a bird or plane, and with blessing
for yourself and everyone. When we focus on seeking solutions to problems
and di
ffi
culties with a positive and enthusiastic attitude, we attract positive
energy towards us, and this helps us transform mountains into molehills.
Throughout the day check if you are moving forward with ease in whatever
you do. Also check if you are performing any activity that enables you to get
blessings from others. Remember, the greatest enemy you will ever have is you! Whatever you
do, do with kindness. Whatever you say, say with kindness. Wherever you go, radiate kindness.
One light in the darkness, removes the darkness.
