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.

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.
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.

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.
Belief in god is not virtuous or righteous, or a sign of intelligence. Mere belief is a sign of ignorance, despite what religionist and moralist claim. Most everybody is looking for something to give them hope and validation that supports their dreams or fears. A ‘believers’s faith’ in the anthropomorphic god has never made ‘him’ real…or ever will. If this god were real, there would be no need for belief and faith. Does anyone believe and have faith in the sun being real? Better to believe that the sun is god.
It’s a wonderful world? Who contributed the most to make it so? Who’s going to make it better? What most seem to not get, just a good intellect doesn’t make for a loving, compassionate being and world. Some of the most evil, murderous people in the history of humanity have been European -- the Soviets and Nazis being two examples. Asians have the highest IQs by race and China has murdered more than 60 million of its own people over the past century. Intellect is overrated and is just one small part of a well rounded, positive people. Africans may have the lowest IQ, but have they gone around to other continents killing?
Dumpster diving for yesterdays left overs of love is fruitless.
Chances are, you are going to unknowingly try that on rare
occasion. In other words, all but that hidden spark is gone or plateaued to a level that is comfortable uncomfortable. The days grow weary and slip by into months and years of destitute love, meaning just existing day to day. Looking for love in all the wrong places, even if you remember to do that, is like looking for a black cat, in a dark house, when you’re blind and deaf...and there is no cat!

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

DIALOG with Opinions.pdf
1. DIALOG with Opinions
August 11, 2022
Transform yourself through dialoging. As a
fl
edgling out
of college from the University of Oregon, and entering the corporate sales world of NYC, one of
the
fi
rst 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
fi
nd a more
open prospect/person’?
There lived in Chicago a community activist by the name of Saul Alinsky who
used controversial means of communicating. Saul Alinsky allegedly lived by the
communist playbook. Alinsky advised, “Look in the mirror-whatever you see,
blame your opponent.” When negative people look in the mirror they see
criminals, they see traitors, they see the person they can’t trust. The closer they
get to the truth, the more desperate they become. So, they
immediately try to change the subject, known as ‘de
fl
ecting’.
They try to frame the one they’’re talking with for thoughts they
didn’t commit to, or in other words turning others thoughts into
the negative to bolster their own point of view.
Dialoging is an ‘art of harmony’, not unlike a meditation but
between one or more. Dialogue means trying to understand the
other with an open mind. Dialogue is a rare phenomenon and it
is beautiful, because both are enriched. In fact, while you talk,
either it can be a discussion – a verbal
fi
ght, trying to prove that I
am right and you are wrong – or a dialogue. Dialogue is taking each
other´s hand, moving together towards the truth, helping each other to
fi
nd the
way.
Being a student of personal human relationships, I’ve seen most couples to
not learn the ‘art of dialoging’ with each other, instead relegating many situations to an
‘engagement’ of disagreement that lowers their harmony with each other. It is togetherness, it
is a cooperation, it is a harmonious e
ff
ort to
fi
nd the truth. It is not in any way a
fi
ght, not at all.
It is a friendship, moving together to
fi
nd the truth, helping each other to
fi
nd the truth. Nobody
has the truth already, but when two persons start
fi
nding out, inquiring about the truth together,
that is dialogue – and both are enriched. The world is in dire need of enrichment through
dialoging to harmony!
