MOST TEXT WRITTEN IN DARK GREEN LETTERING ARE LINKS"HEALTH" SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A "MEASURE" OF THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND/OR SPIRITUAL DISPOSITION OF A PERSON, PLACE OR THING. SICKNESS IS DEFINED AS A "STATE" OF BEING ILL. symptoms are "signs, traits or AN indication" of some underlying condition AND/or disease. OUR STATUS IN EACH OF THESE THREE AREAS ARE INDICATIVE OF OUR SPIRITUAL DISPOSITION. HEALTH IS A HOLISTIC/WHOLISTIC TERM. HOLDING GRUDGES ALONG WITH BEING SPITEFUL AND "MEAN SPIRITED" ARE symptoms and CLASSIC CHARACTERISTICS OF NOT FORGIVING. THE ILL WILL AND RESENTMENT WE DISPLAY TOWARDS OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS IN TRAFFIC, STANDING IN LINES, CONDUCTING BUSINESS AND SHOPPING are THE SIGNS OF SOCIAL SICKNESS. FORGIVENESS IS MORE THAN AN ACT, IT IS AN ATTITUDE AND A WAY OF LIFE. WE LIVE IN AN INTOLERANT AND SELFISH SOCIETY. WE TEND TO MAKE JUDGMENTS BASED UPON BIASES AND PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES, THEN APPLY THEM TO OUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. "IN SPIRIT" WE FIND IT EASY TO JUSTIFY ANGER WHEN FORGIVENESS IS ABSENT FROM OUR ATTITUDE. KNOW THAT ALL DISEASES AND MANY INFIRMITIES FEED OFF OF OUR "FEELINGS" TOWARDS OTHERS, ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS. THIS INCLUDES OUR BELIEFS ABOUT GOD! FAILING TO EXERCISE FORGIVENESS IS LIKE LIVING WITH A CHRONIC TRANSMISSIBLE ILLNESS.FORGIVENESS AND HEALING GO HAND IN HANDOur planet is hemorrhaging from hate! Spiritually, we have always been connected, but today globalization has physically connected us to one another inextricably! Our world is attacking itself in the same manner as an autoimmune disease attacks its own body. Being hateful is like "Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" and not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the person we are harboring hate towards to die! Some people may say I don't hold on to it I just don't forget it. We cannot bring a sacrifice to the altar while at odds with our brother. When we do right and if we "do well" our gift is acceptable. If not then the iniquity of our sin lies directly in front of any door we attempt to open. Most of us are familiar with the "Lord's Prayer." It's known that we get forgiveness from God according to the way we give forgiveness to one another. This post looks deeper into forgiveness and reveals how all encompassing it is in EVERY aspect of life. It examines forgiveness not only as something we must practice but something EVERYONE continuously encounters whether they are aware of it or not..... We live in an imperfect world. It is impossible to exist or experience life without exercising forgiveness. Mistakes are not only inevitable, they are a vital part of learning through trial and error. All sins produce some kind of sickness. Many times Jesus would tell those who he healed that their sins had been forgiven. The connection between forgiveness and healing is phenomenal. This connection is often overlooked. We must incorporate this factor, so much so, that our diagnosis of both mental and physical illnesses always takes this into consideration. Any "wholistic" approach to healing will reveal and deal with forgiveness. We cannot be at odds with anyone, both in the present or with what we hold from the past! Forgiving is not about forgetting. Forgiving is more about resolution without revenge. The act of forgetting, may "at least" temporarily, plant "seeds of forgiveness." Forgetting does not require a loss of memory. Forgetting is more about where we place the memory at and forgiveness is more about where we recall the memory from. Managing memories plays a critical role in the ability of our "minds" to function without being overloaded with data from our senses. Our minds (not brains) collect and store every possible event we are capable of keeping up with (remembering). So it's easy to see that we must continually "let go" and allow forgiveness to refresh our minds from all its been bombarded with. We have a choice! It's either this or holding on to every little mistake and offense that we experience and returning to the scene of the crime either physically or mentally to settle the score! Too many of us are trying to do God's job. Judgement in terms of deciphering, deliberating and determining what has happened is our responsibility. Judgement in terms of rendering a verdict or sentence is reserved exclusively for God. PRACTICING FORGIVENESS MAKES US BETTER AT FORGIVINGHate speech and hate crimes are not actually about hate in as much as they are about forgiveness. Continual learning is not possible through trial and error without forgiving ourselves. Trying again and desiring to succeed is an innate quality built into our nature. Nothing beats a failure but a try. There's nothing like falling down and getting back up again! How would babies go from crawling to walking if they just gave up. We love to conquer and triumph over adversity even to the point of competition with others. Most of us find it easy to forgive ourselves when we make a mistake. Still there are some of us that make self forgiveness hard. We disguise our failures and imperfections through deception, deflection and denials. The realization that we all need grace regardless of how disciplined a life we lead is crucial. This puts us all on a level SPIRITUAL PLAYING FIELD! No matter how affluent, intelligent or popular we consider ourselves to be in life, riches are no indication of spiritual status! Blessed are the poor in spirit. The more refined we consider ourselves to be, the more high-minded we tend to act. Too many of us see ourselves as better (more perfect) than our fellow human beings. Blessed does not mean better! This type of perfectionism sentences us to a life of self superiority. On the opposite side of the coin, failing to embrace the forgiveness imputed by God towards man leaves us in a state where we will continually frustrate ourselves with our own faults. This type of self deprecation dooms us to living with regrets rather than through grace. Other kinds of perfectionist only concentrate on the shortcomings of others and deny or hide their own faults from both themselves and others. Love is ratified by forgiveness. When it comes to transgressions, there can be no love without forgiveness and no forgiveness without love. "Love," is the strongest source of energy in the universe. Love has so many attributes and applications that it is impossible to define in words. One of the easiest way to describe love is in contrasts. We may not always recognize many of the positive aspects of love, in terms of "what love is." But we can always recognize any negative manifestation, actions or behaviors in terms of what love "is not!" There are so many beautiful and wonderful characteristics ascribed and attributed to love. Out of all of these crowning attributes love manifests; the greatest of these is forgiveness. "BRUSH UP" ON SPIRITUAL REALITY, READ A BIBLE; STOP "TRUTH DECAY"The universe operates by and through maintaining balances. Whether we see it as the "circle of life," reaping and sowing, cause and effect or coincidence; equilibrium and homeostasis are always in effect. It is important to understand that transgressions upset balances and forgiveness restores them. Life is all about balances. From conception on, everyone and everything harmonizes and balances with the environment. We balance sin and iniquity through repentance and forgiveness. Balances can be described in terms of evenly distributed abilities, assets, gifts, talents and weights. We often arrange, adjust, or proportion everything from food to furniture symmetrically. A loss of balance indicates instability. Whether it's trade, treaties or traditions; everything in the universe ideally must be in balance with everything else. Diseases, instability, poverty and wars come as a result of the imbalances we systemically or unwittingly perpetrate. Universal balances work hand in hand with our circadian cycles or rhythms. A circadian cycle or rhythm, is a natural, internal process that regulates our sleep–wake cycle. It repeats itself generally every 24 hours. It can also refer to any process that originates within an organism in response to their environment. Many of the crimes/sins we commit are not just against one another. We often commit sins against God (the universe), nature (the environment) and even ourselves (the body). Forgiveness is all encompassing if we seek it. Not regretting along with not repenting forfeits the grace (unmerited favor) forgiveness brings. When our "mind" seeks forgiveness from our body due to neglect or abuse, we are actually seeking pardon from ourselves for what we've done to ourselves. Alcoholics and drug addicts must be keenly aware of this to break the spiritual bonds they are held under. Lazy minded individuals can gain clemency though applying their energy to mental and physical effort. Sins against the body can include fornication, adultery, excessive drinking drugs, smoking and laziness. Retribution attempts to restore balance in the form of a punishment. Forgiveness restores balance through the sacrifice of love. Forgiveness begets grace. Practicing forgiveness whenever the signs or symptoms of retaliation rears its head allows the "power of love" to work. Reaping what we sow is not diminished by forgiveness but it is a spiritual substitute that mitigates the condemnation we all rightly deserve. Remission trumps retaliation. It's easy to see that the protests at our nations capitol highlighting "black lives matter" were not treated like the protests of the "presidential elections." On June 1, 2020, a crowd gathered outside the White House to protest the police killing of George Floyd. This diverse group protesting police brutality and racial inequity were met with chemical agents and rubber bullets. On Jan. 6, a crowd of similar size gathered to protest the presidential elections. Some of the protesters breached the Capitol and roamed freely through the halls. As a result, at least one protester and one officer died. The spiritual ramifications from each of these protests are plain to see. As long as we continue to adopt and allow retaliatory, non-forgiving behaviors that attract resentful and/or unapologetic spirits we will remain divided. The "spirit of our politics" are mirrored in our protests. Standing against "the spirit of division" is what is important! Forgiveness promotes the "spirit of unity." Unity is a cohesive coalition of collaborative will. Joining our energies and efforts creates unity! Justice can work through forgiveness, just as mercy can rejoice against judgement. UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED, THE WORLD TEARS ITSELF APART. We must BE the change we want to SEE!

MOST TEXT WRITTEN IN DARK GREEN LETTERING ARE LINKSMOUNTAINS, THEY CAN BE BOTH FORMIDABLE AND MAJESTIC. WE OFTEN SPEAK OF CLIMBING THEM, GOING AROUND THEM AND EVEN MOVING THEM. BUT THIS POST IS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT TUNNELING THROUGH THEM. MOUNTAINS SYMBOLIZE MANY THINGS, BOTH NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE. IN DREAMS THEY CAN REFER TO BOTH OBSTACLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. THEY ACT AS BOTH BARRIERS AND BORDERS. LIKE RIVERS THEY RANGE. LIKE BOUNDARIES THEY SEPARATE AND DIVIDE. WE CAN CLIMB THEM AND THEREBY BELIEVE WE'VE CONQUERED THEM. MOUNTAINS CAN REPRESENT ENLIGHTENMENT, INSPIRATION AND CLOSENESS TO GOD. WE ALL GO "THROUGH" MANY THINGS IN LIFE THIS INCLUDES MOUNTAINS. GOING AROUND THEM TAKES A CERTAIN KIND OF EFFORT, CROSSING OVER THEM REQUIRES A DIFFERENT STRATEGY; BUT TUNNELING "THROUGH" THEM CAN BE A TRANSFORMATIVE WAY OF ENGINEERING GROWTH.THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE ALL GO THROUGH!Most of us can "talk the talk" but can we really "walk the walk?" "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" Maybe the saying should be "when the going gets tough the faith gets tried and the patience gets perfected." When our faith is personified we will discover that although there is much to fear, we are not afraid. Jesus proclaimed that with just a little bit of faith, we can actually move mountains; but our reality finds us mostly facing them rather than moving them. Many of us find ourselves going around mountains, over mountains and many times unnecessarily going through mountainous terrain. Going through something may not yield the results we were looking for at the other end of an ordeal. Recidivism is built into our human nature and we often endure repeated episodes from the same causes. Oh wretched beings we are, how can we ever escape this self inflicted misery? When we go through something does it mean that we are actually through with it. Whether it's a relationship, an addiction or circumstance; many of us are simply gluttons for punishment. like dogs we tend to lick up our vomit and like pigs we return to the mud. Sometimes as victims we may get through it but never get over it. Instinctive iniquities can cloud both our intentions and judgement. There are spirits that take advantage of our innate tendencies (spiritual genetics). When we deal with the facts behind our behaviors it will empower us! Much of our suffering is unnecessary. let's face it, most of us learn the hard way! It is only when we want to get through with going through the same things again and again that we free ourselves from the spiritual bondage that is manifested in our behaviors and our bodies. Health is a holistic state of being. Health encompasses mind, body and spirit. Our soul rejoices when we are in total balance. SUFFERING: MEANINGs AND MERITSWe are one world, almost like one body with many members, and as the "salt of the earth" we are responsible for leading this planet through and out of it's present plight. We are obligated to speak out and stand against "unrighteousness" in whatever form it appears in. We cannot force or impose our standards upon a heathenish society. But we can let our light shine in a way that our behaviors and good works glorify God. We must create, practice and uphold such high standards among ourselves that it perpetuates moral authority above legal authority at core societal levels. We need no law to tell us that the act of "murder" is wrong. Cain did not break any known law or commandment when he killed Abel, such a law did not exist. Cain violated "moral order" and the universal essence of balance and interdependence. That was not a "Circle of Life" event; that was murder! This is one thing that ONLY humans can do! Anything that is cursed, curses itself by it actions against natural order. Curses are the natural resulting phenomena that happens when we violate natural order. Understanding disorders that are spirit borne or spiritually influenced is a necessity for wholistic healing. Today as a planet we are in a state of depression! All the signs are there. Until we understand that in a truly globalized society how important world health is, we will continue with wave after wave of man made and natural disasters, pestilence and diseases. Viruses with immune escape like Covid, monkey pox, polio, water born, surface born and air born diseases are a global, not just a local concern. The Moses' of today are the righteous individuals who' carry the crusade against both moral malice and environmental destruction. A depressed planet, like a depressed person can withdraw from functioning in balance as it should. The source of our sufferings can usually be found in one of three areas. These origins are generally internal, external and perpetual (generational). There is a distinct difference between acute and chronic illnesses. Generally, time distinguishes them apart. In both cases there is suffering; but acute illnesses tend to resolve on their own, while chronic illnesses do not. Without treatment chronic illnesses almost always evolve and shorten the lifespan of the affected party. Both we and our planet, both, are suffering from a chronic condition. Suffering is wasted if lessons are not learned. Suffering is meant to be a teaching tool. Both misappropriating suffering or not gaining from it nurtures depression. HEALING, FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION GO HAND IN HANDWe are the advocates for a stressed out planet. Anyone who has followed our posts knows in hindsight, that our foresight's have addressed these issues "spot on." There is no room for "I told you so," in the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. Speaking and writing truth to power in the "spirit of love," may seem hard to do at times. We cannot stand by and let the world wallow in the mess it continues to make. We cannot be vengeful or vindictive in our ways by justifying them in our minds. Holding grudges is an easy thing to do. Holding God to God's word is not a difficult thing at all. God is bound by that selfsame word and must honor it in spite of what we do. Even when God wants to intervene on our behalf, God is limited by the sovereignty of the power from the spirit of God's own spoken word. Our healing is constantly hindered by ourselves! The promise of healing is not partial, it is ALL inclusive. Let's examine God's promises on healing and prayer. God's word declares that if we confess our sins that God is faithful and just to forgive us from our sins and cleanse us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. If we follow that up with the effects of cleansing we will Bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not ALL of his benefits, who forgiveth ALL thine iniquities and healeth ALL thine diseases. Many of the attitudes, feelings and ways (iniquities spiritual-genetics) we have, that we may not even be aware of, are covered "through" the act of true confession. The formula has not changed. Depression is a difficult cycle to break! It is cunning and quiet. When we review failures and shortcoming without wallowing in regret, we stop reliving the experience again and again. We then can gain the benefits of its teaching. When we recall with remorse, we either repent and find resolve or begin a new cycle of regret and depression. Forgiveness relieves duress and opens the flow for our faith to be effective. This is why it is so important to forgive others and ourselves, this is an important tenet of the "Lord's Prayer." Every mountain cannot be avoided by going around it, or conquered by climbing or going over it. There are certain mountains we all must go "through" like depression. There is no way over or around it. Most of us will find ourselves depressed at some time or another. Depression is both a condition and a spirit. Chronic depression requires a wholistic approach to bring healing. Whenever we go "through" something that negatively impacts our lives expect depression to rear its head. The "spirit of depression" is running amok during this present mental health crisis. As we warned readers and followers in times past, so we admonish them now. Depression is a silent yet visibly manifested disorder originating from thoughts that are rooted in the spiritual aspect of our being. It is a spirit born disorder and must be diagnosed as such. This invisible source and force strikes at the mental/psychological aspect of our minds and quietly abides inside of guilt, regrets and grief to name a few. Depression is a disorder defined by thoughts, behaviors and feelings. The symptoms are not like most physical sicknesses, although it presents itself in many physical forms. This is not rocket science! look at the spelling of some words associated with depression. The "ESS" in STRESS, RECESSION, MESS, REGRESSION, PRESS, OPPRESSION, DURESS, AND SUPPRESSION ALL CARRY THE ENERGY OF THEIR ACTIVITY! OUR WORLD NEEDS A SPIRITUAL HUG! WE ARE CALLED TO BLESS, CARESS AND POSSESS THIS PLANET IN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE.
TEXT IN DARK GREEN ARE LINKS: PLACE YOUR MOUSE OVER THEM & CLICK HEURISTICS (pronounced hear-wrist-tics) IS ENABLING SOMEONE TO DISCOVER OR LEARN SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES. THIS STRATEGY CAN BE DESCRIBED AS ANY APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING AND/OR SELF DISCOVERY THAT CAN BE SEEN AS A PRACTICAL TECHNIQUE SUFFICIENT FOR THE MOMENT. THIS METHOD IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE LOGICAL, PROPER OR RATIONAL. THE IMPERFECT NATURE OF THIS APPROACH CAN EMPLOY APPROXIMATIONS THAT MAY BE SATISFACTORY AT THAT TIME. WE ALL KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY EMPLOY HEURISTICS WHEN WE TAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS, USE A "RULE OF THUMB" OR APPLY TRIAL AND ERROR. WHEN OUR SPIRIT IS QUICKENED, WE ARE ENABLED TO DISCERN ALL TRUTH. ![]() Don't get it twisted. This forum is not about telling anyone what to do. It's about pointing people towards solutions. EVERYTHING is written in chalk, NOTHING is written in stone. As Cardinal Richelieu is often quoted as saying; "if you give me six lines written by the hands of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." Every influencer, leader, politician, prophet and teacher should live in the fear of the noose. To whom much is given much is required. We are no exceptions. The purpose of this platform is a place to practice and perform the purpose of principles. Many of the writings may appear complicated or convoluted. In reality they are. The gravity or seriousness of the topics discussed require an understanding that comes primarily from enlightenment and revelations initiated through seeking and studying. We look at things first spiritually not because they can be visibly seen, but because through spirituality we can see everything more clearly. It is obvious that we are living in troubled times. When we abide within holistic and wholistic habitats, we need that no man teach us! No one is powerless! Everyone has a say and a stake in all matters. The "habit of helplessness" can be broken, read this post! A WORLD IN NEED OF PSYCHOTHERAPYPsychotherapy is a general term describing how we deal with mental health problems through talking and conversations. Yes, our entire planet has a communication issue. Our world as a whole is suffering from an ongoing psychotic episode. We have developed very bad collaborative habits. A globalized planet operating without a holistic or wholistic spiritual perspective is doomed to fight for individual domination rather then mutual achievement. Progress generally starts with a plan. Plans call for the coordinated interaction of diverse parts or parties. As human beings all of our limbs, organs and individual parts work together towards the health of our body. This is the same way that our climate, weather and atmosphere insure the integrity of our globe. If global warming is a hoax let's hope and pray that the joke is not on us. Maybe this world isn't big enough for all of us! We have invaded, captured, conquered, colonized and enslaved our own species throughout history. Although world domination has never been achieved by any country, entity or person to this date. As human beings, together, we have dominion over this planet. We are responsible for every aspect of our existence whether we acknowledge it or not. All of our resources from food an water to fuel and housing are meant to prosper us all. Prosperity is always defined in terms of how humans fare and function. Prosperity denotes a condition or state of flourishing, successful and thriving well being. Prosperity also denotes a status of abundance. Prosperity implies that there is enough to go around with leftovers. Prosperity to be true prosperity must be shared. Prosperity creates a win - win scenario. What we say here is true. We all need to engage in "Talk Therapy." When the "spirit of need" has the priority over the "spirit of greed" then true prosperity will reign indeed! How can we prosper individually while leaving others in poverty. BAD HABITS ABIDE WHERE THEY CAN HIDE - GOOD HABITS ARE COMFORTABLE ANYWHEREHabits are acquired in one of two ways! We either develop them unconsciously or form them intentionally. Developing most "bad" habits are easy, by default they require less effort to perform than good ones. The process behind developing almost anything becomes easier with consistent exposure or repetition. Some habits are similar to "allowed addictions" that result in a state of bondage rather than a state of balance. Spirits often "IN-HABIT" habits. A habitat is defined as "the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism." We would like to expand upon that definition by asking this question. Where do spirits live? Jesus declared that foxes have holes and birds have nests for their habitats. But where do spirits live? The natural habitat for spirits is in the spirit realm. However, some spirits intrude into territories where they have no right or authority to be in. Spirits try to trespass into our thoughts as well as in our attitudes which generally manifests in our practices. Once they infringe in our lives they also try to lodge themselves into our beliefs. Please understand that we (each one of us) are spirit: as well as flesh, bones, blood and brains. Our individual spirit as well as our individual bodies interact with other similar forms in these interactive realms. We should be able to understand how and where both holistic and wholistic habitats operate. Holistic habitats are characterized by seeing the trees without losing sight of the forest. Wholistic habitats are a variant or by-product of words depicting health and healing as when Jesus asked the man at the pool of Bethesda "wilt thou be made whole?" Jesus always saw the complete picture, although he could only be in one place at a time and operate locally, his mission was worldwide and works globally. This is one of the reasons why Jesus had to leave. Spirit has no geographical limitations, flesh does. The only thing that limited Jesus was the "form" he was in. What limits us today in a globalized planet with worldwide connections? The "enemy" uses it extensively as a spiritual abode; why can't we? When we balance our abilities with our vision in the "spirit of love" we will see both the forest and the trees as a "whole" and work to restore all of nature, in spite of global warming, wars and pandemics, back into balance as it was originally created. We cannot continue to blame Adam and Eve for tipping the scale. Jesus demonstrated how to fix the balance and has poured "out of his spirit" the ability and insight to do it. We hope this post sheds light on that. |
