TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM![]() Who's side are you on? What side are you on? Since we are now taking sides rather then examining and appreciating different perspectives it's important that our side is right. Taking a side permits us to travel down two way streets as if there is a one way sign. In a three dimensional world generally both sides of most polarizing issues fall short of truth. Arguing a point is just that. A point is an "exact" position or location. In mathematics it refers to a "single" element of a set. Over the years we've expanded on this definition to include not only a place but a thing. Since then we've done everything from making a point, to having a point, to getting the point and pointing things out. The point is that the more we focus on a single point the more we obscure our vision from seeing any other points. One of the most misunderstood expressions we use and give too much credibility to, is our own point of view. As if a view can only be seen from one perspective, point or just focuses on one spot! We all should know that perception influences direction. As time goes by we all decide To have a view and pick a side In fact today it really seems that everybody has a team So day by day we wait for news we do not like our team to loose To really win, we're told to beat the other side we must defeat. And so with that we choose to fight a battle that will make us right And then we all can join the throng of voices that can make them wrong. Now as we fight with one another Like Cain we'll even kill our brother So polarized we've all decided to keep our point and stay divided. We are all subject to deception. Bias may be defined as ignorance in its sincerest form. Without objectivity, taking sides may simply give life to a lie. "THE BIG LIE," an expression coined by Adolf Hitler, is a phenomena of the human condition which effectively corrupts consciousness. It is such that the more often a lie is repeated the more believable it becomes. Aristotle's error(lie) about gravity was believed for centuries until finally someone challenged it. Although it was not deliberate is was not true. To this day people still believed that the great Albert Einstein at some point in his education failed at math. Although this is another lie the story told again and again is believed as truth. The lessons of Pinocchio have been ignored or forgotten. Whatever we say initially is in seed form. Each time it is repeated we figuratively water that seed. Taking a side on a sayings is short-sighted. It is far easier for us to say something and not mean it, then it is to do something and say we didn't mean to do it. All actions follow an intention before they are initiated. Words are often spoken with the psychic energy of intent but never fulfilled by any action. This is where the old saying "actions speak louder then words" comes from. Does that make an unfulfilled promise a lie? Yes, we can be sure that it does; but at what point does an empty promise become a lie? It is far easier to be a "right fighter" than a truth teller. Our country claims to stand on Christian principles and should not turn a blind eye to the teachings of the Bible, Jesus or any other religious authority. Although some of our religious institutions have fallen short of their calling they remain as moral authorities. Regardless of these issues this does not change what is written in our religious constitution called the bible. Jesus called out the religious institutions of his day for their hypocrisy and died for it. Martin Luther called out the institutions of his day and almost met the same fate. Each did it by citing the written word and holding the powers that be accountable to it. The perspectives these spiritual leaders delivered included the moral, legal, and ethical aspects of the matter. They took their authority from and sided with the tenants of the Bible! We all know that every coin has two sides, but two wrongs don't make a right! Truth may be hidden for some time, but truth is not hard to find. We can color it or ignore it but we cannot change it. The champions of truth apply it without fear or favor. Those who pervert truth pretend to stand for it by taking a side. ![]() Are we really divided or just deceived or undecided. Jesus told us that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Should we be alarmed? Is not the need for us to unite much more important then being right? Making a point should not taken priority over telling the truth. Keeping score in the game of life involves looking for and pointing out every contradiction that strengthens our point of view. As participants in a point system we overlook the truth system! Taking a side encourages us to "blindly" follow promises, pledges and declarations without evaluating the path to those goals. Without understanding the spiritual, social and psychological forces at work when it comes to differences we are very likely to put our friends, families, businesses, governments and world in danger. It's not about winning especially if it's infighting. Victory does not require a loser! Victory is triumphing over a problem or situation, not a person. Personalizing a problem implies that the person is the problem. So in order to get rid of the problem it means we have to get rid of the person. If we did this with our children they would never make adulthood. Never reject people! Simply reject behaviors that do not meet our standards. We all have a "book of standards" and as such have examples of standard bearers. When we fail to hold all of our leaders to the highest standards we compromise all standards everywhere else. The standard must be to stand for truth and righteousness even if our leaders don't. Whether or not we like or agree with others we must stand up for their right to disagree. A time will come when we will need others to stand up for us. The law of reciprocity, cause and effect or simply reaping what we have sown is immutable. What goes around does come around, history teaches us that. It is natural to align ourselves with others. As humans we are predisposed to herding behaviors. This is a part of our normal social patterns. We see this in our everyday behaviors at sporting events, protests and even in religious assemblies. Whether we find ourselves aligned with the sad, "singing the blues" party or the mad, "filled with indignation" red hot party, it's truth we're after. We must realize that our alliances with others affect their policies, thinking and sense of well being based on how we treat them. They know to expect problems with us when they see us having problems among ourselves. The bottom line is that when our concerns fail to reach everyone collectively no one individually is safe. Our relationships suffer when our allegiance is not to the truth. Our "pledge of allegiance" defines our union as "one nation under God, Indivisible" but our very politics shows the ugliness of two divided parties failing to adhere to christian, spiritual or biblical principles in conflict. More importantly are the voices of the people and our moral leadership. "Do you hear the people singing?" When our religious leaders also fail to act as the voice of conscience everyone's allegiance to God and truth is also compromised. "Let us do evil that good may come," is not the mantra of Christianity! Sin and iniquity cannot be compartmentalized. The Bible declares that "whosoever shall keep the whole law yet offend in one point he is guilty of all." And yes, we ALL are guilty. As we systematically pollute our environment, eradicate multiple species of animals, and marginalize various cultures and races, the cry will be "first they came," till they came for me! TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM![]() When a human claims perfection It's just lack of introspection Or deception that they even cannot see. While expressing condemnation Should we now use this occasion To corrupt the institutions that must be? ![]() Now regardless of defense We cannot straddle the fence Nor can-there-be a compromise for wrong. Altogether hand in hand We must also understand It's important that we all do get along. ![]() How can we then deal with fault In the midst of this assault On our offices and other institutions. How far do we have to reach? Is the answer to impeach? Is this remedy the only known solution? ![]() Can't we somehow just unite though both sides cannot be right It's-not-the-time for us to act as strangers. If we stay the current course will the battle then be lost? It's apparent that our country is in danger. ![]() Now there still is no excuse when we talk about abuse Calling one another names is not the way. We the people must demand that our leaders understand Their example is important every day. ![]() Get this understanding fully It is wrong for us to bully Or exaggerate, that's just another lie. Acting as a Christian nation we must meet the obligation or face judgement, as it's coming by and by. TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEMThere is a spiritual realm! We do not believe in spiritualism because it can be visibly seen. We believe in spiritualism because through it we can see E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G E-L-S-E more clearly. ![]() Spirituality is not just about religion, it enlightens us to the concept that everything is connected. Our physical existence is tactile and experienced through our natural bodies. But our mental existence is psychological and experienced through our minds. Overall our sense of existence can be intuitively experienced through the spirit and energy of thought. Every individuals "state of being" affects their multiple dimensions of existence. One theory in life says that the more we understand about life the more we should be aware of all the people, circumstances and situations we are directly and indirectly intertwined with. We are more like a community of bee's then a society of solitary polar bears. There is always a ripple effect created by our pebbles. They may seem insignificant in comparison to the waves of change; but everything we say and/or do in this life affects every connected dimension. Today's science can only offer theories about how the vast amount of the universe functions. Throughout history many of the theories that scientist derived were limited to that days current beliefs. Aristotle's explanation of gravity survived from the 4th century BC until the early 17th century even though it was wrong. Despite all of the scientific advancements today the majority of the universe seems to consists of unknown substances called dark matter and dark energy. It may be that whenever writers or scientist cannot define something unknown, theory labels it as "dark." The purpose of this blog is to examine principles and present theory by delivering relatively accurate up to date information. We rely on the principle of shedding light on a subject to enable others to create their own personal solutions. This is not an advice column it is a directions to use your device manual. As our disclaimer states the contents in these blogs are not written in stone. After all there may be some unknown dimensions we are unaware of called DARK dimensions. ![]() There are mental laws, physical laws and spiritual laws that coexist together but have to be applied differently. For example, in the physical universe "opposites" generally do not commingle, cooperate or collaborate together; although their forces normally attract one another. Just as fire and water neutralize one another in the physical realm so does doubt neutralize faith in the mental realm. However within the spiritual realm faith and (fear) doubt can abide side by side as thoughts change form to balance with our beliefs. Our feelings can become our worse enemy if they are wrong but we feel they are right. Emotions act just as the word "emotion" sounds. They are not static, they evolve and can change the way we feel about almost anything or anyone. Although we operate as if we completely know and understand the dynamics of our physical world the truth is that at best we know very little about the majority of how it works. When we apply this fact to the mental and spiritual aspects of life we find we know even less. ![]() Our perspective of the world is incomplete without acknowledging the spiritual, mental and physical realms. Our response to many of the issues we face day to day is distorted in light of how we see them. We should see the world as a large sphere filled with water (spirit) and inhabited by creatures (people) immersed in it. Instead we see the world as a large sphere filled with people (water) that spirit (energy) also inhabits. This is backwards and does not accurately reflect the way the universe works. We are just one of many inhabitants immersed in a pool (atmosphere) of other energies. When we perceive the world as a large sphere filled with people (water) and shared by other inhabitants (spirit) we deceive ourselves. The presence of Spirit should not be regarded as "weather" that we have to deal with from time to time. Spirit should be regarded as the atmosphere we live and exist in which causes our "weather." We are actually swimming and travelling around through a large ocean of spirit. The spiritual world is the main driver of all that we experience in life. This is the portion of our existence we generally let religion or metaphysics define. It is shortsighted to describe any aspect of spirituality only by these two narrow categories. Spirituality is a part of all of life! As we increase our education we increase in knowledge. As we exercise our spirituality we increase in caring. Our Insight always increases in sync with our introspection. Spirituality starts with honesty which involves submitting to the critique of faulty thought. Our normal thinking process is analytical and develops through logical reasoning, but our spiritual mind is insightful and grows by subordinating the ego through selflessness. Being Spiritual is a choice. Anyone seeing their purpose or setting their desires to benefit others is on a spiritual journey. People exercising spirituality consistently practice self examination and correction. Spirituality is a unique lifestyle. Being spiritual takes us down a one way street. The insights and revelations are permanent, the knowledge remains in perpetuity even if we fail, fall or falter and it cannot be unlearned. When we are willing to risk being wrong so that truth can be right our spirit is renewed and even when we suffer for it our soul rejoices. ![]() So in our final analysis being spiritual without believing in God is not such a far-fetched idea. Although we cannot DEFINE spirit we can describe it. It is through our spirit that we sense and have feelings for our fellow human beings. Our spirits are the universal conduit for our communication with and connections to one another. Without spirit we cannot affect or control our own destiny. Spirit seems to be a universal force, so is it a stretch to say that spirit is universal? If we can't see it, but can feel it, have it, but can't touch it, believe in it, but cant prove it; then why should we label it?. We are incapable of defining spirit OR GOD! Believing in spirit may be more then enough to redefine what an atheist or agnostic really is, because even they believe in spirit and God is a spirit too. TEXT IN GREEN ARE LINKS - CLICK ON THEM
![]() NON-SPIRITUAL THINKING PERSONS SHOULD STOP READING THIS POST NOW! Anyone who cannot acknowledge or denies the existence of a spiritual realm may be offended. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. STOP READING NOW! They say that ignorance is bliss; but in reality it is blind. BY READING ANY FURTHER YOU BECOME ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF THIS INFORMATION. Although this material is not regarded as mystical or secret, much of it is controversial and unpopular to teach or discuss. NO OTHER CAUTIONS WILL BE GIVEN. This is an expose on sensing or taking surveillance (monitoring) the unseen. The signs of spirit is all around us but there are no special methods for seeing or sighting spiritual substance. However, the substance of spirit surrounds us whether we recognize it or not. Spirits are invisible to the natural realm; but the concept of spirit may be described in terms of a shadow cast by an object. Although we may not see the image, its shadow gives us clues about its form. Spirit is substance and as such must have some type of spirit form. Our physical forms are substance and must have some type of material form. Although both spiritual and material things have substance, they each have different distinct forms. In like manner spirit is not matter (nor has its form) and matter is not spirit. In this post we will examine some of the situations, sequences and setups of spiritual operations. Let's examine two ways to evaluate the evidence of spiritual occurrences. We can trace every step and sequester all events from their genesis to their manifestations or examine the fruit (results) of that spirit. Spirit is a part of every interaction in the human economy. The word "spiritual" is a broad concept that may be defined as a way of living and perceiving life in terms of recognizing invisible sources as the force behind visible and tangible occurrences. The word spirit denotes the energy of the force and its conduct as it relates to the unseen non-physical part of a person and their thoughts. ****THE**FACTORS**bEHIND**THE**FORCES****Many of us struggle with life because we fail to recognize or acknowledge that there is a spiritual dimension behind everything life manifests. There are multiple authoritative sources we can use to define the nature of spirit or the existence of spiritual realms. It is important to regard the word "spiritual" as aligned with the term "invisible;" while associating the forces we feel and see manifested through verbal or physical expressions as "spirit." This is a safe yet albeit broad and inclusive way of describing but not defining these realms. Spirit can be compared to air which we cannot see, but sense, feel and move. There is spirit in movement and sound. Music may be defined as the harmony of spirit, whereas speech and behavior may be regarded as the verbal and physical manifestations of spirit. Now that we know a little about (sensing) how spirits can be detected, we can use these insights to (detect) study spiritual manifestations and also evaluate them. Spirit is manifested through thought energy into the places, sounds, words and actions in which they operate. Spirits have appetites. A gluttonous spirit has an appetite for food in the same way that a drunken spirit has an appetite for alcohol. A spirits appetite desires to inhabit our issues. When we abuse our appetite, these spirits, can induce gluttony, bulimia and drunkenness. By having and exercising our spiritual eyes we can discern (not see) the workings of spirit. The laws, principles and rules regarding spirit, like everything else are subject to universal law. Spiritual laws always align with but definitely differ from natural laws which we follow in our day to day existence. We all influence our climate and its results are weather. There are a multitude of factors impacting today's climate and so we should expect some level of unpredictability. Spirit, like weather is impacted by both thoughts and behaviors and does not always follow our intellect, logic or intuition. Although spirit is not visible or tangible its evidence generally is. ********THE**RULES**OF**THE**REALMs**********![]() The laws of the spiritual realm are unique. There is structure, there are rules and there is an order of operations that follow spiritual logic. Within the realm of spirit there is rank and strength. Society is filled with objects, ornaments and other memorabilia of spiritual significance that illustrates this. Items such as crosses, pendants, statues, jewelry, coins and a multitude of good luck charms seemingly connect us to this invisible realm. The usual questions we ask are who, what, why, when and where. But looking for answers to those questions attempts to identify a source or cause rather than revealing the "how" or the "way" they operate. Spirits can affect any living thing, and in fact spirit requires an animate (living) entity for expression. Spirits can operate aggressively by addicting, influencing or seducing us (temptations). Spirits can also operate cooperatively by balancing us and our thoughts. There are spirits that align themselves with foods and substances. The intent or purpose for using or consuming those substances determines how that spirit affects the user. Most "substance abuse" involves overindulging or abusing "the spirit of a thing." Therefore abuse of substance is in reality abuse of spirit. In fact all overindulgence or abuse in any form is an abuse of spirit. Although we are not referring to animism there are some similarities. Sometimes we find ourselves present in body but not there in spirit. As spiritual beings the scent, signs or markings of our spirit is in everything we do. Spirits may be regarded as good or evil but they are just spirit. Spirits are subject to laws. Different laws operate inside of the natural, spiritual and universal realms of existence. All events are subject to universal law. Whether it's a natural or spiritual phenomena it is subject to universal law. However many natural and spiritual laws operate differently within their realms. For example The "law of attraction" is that opposites attract but it is also that likes attract. In physics the "law of polarity" is such that negative is attracted to positive (opposites). In society the "laws of social interactions" reveal that "likes" attract or birds of a feather flock together.(similar) This may appear to be contradictory but in fact it is balanced and complementary. Laws in diverse realms may differ but overlap in balancing life. The two main areas examined in this post are spiritual operations and spiritual manifestations. As spiritual beings inside of human bodies with intellectual minds we all coexist with these energies called spirits. The intangible substance of spirit is evident everywhere if we know how to look for and recognize it. Its imprints (artifacts/anomalies) can be left on inanimate objects while its effects tend to reside in our behaviors. The first example to illustrates how spirits work can be found by watching two drivers at a confrontation in the midst of congested traffic. As the scene plays out between the parties, the "spirit" of their engagement will determine whether the outcome results in road rage or courteous indulgence. We could sequester all of the series of events that both parties experienced leading up to this conflict and make predictions by analyzing the data to discern what spirits are operating by their manifested behaviors. Spiritual discernment works through the ole tried and true "judge the tree by the fruit it bears," method. A second example would be that of an addict. The substance of their addiction doesn't matter as much as the spirit (behavior/intent) from the actions of the addiction. Addictions range from food and drugs to substances and habits. All addictions have a spiritual component. Although Dual diagnosis may be used in treating addictions it does not directly address spiritual factors. The truth is, that in reality most addicts are never totally cured. The rehabilitation that occurs at the physical and psychological levels may fail to address the spirit which remains in a "state of abuse." These remedies require avoidance and total abstinence strategies rather then true "wholistic" healing. As a result that spirit must always be suppressed, confined or caged to prevent its habitual resurgence. The probability of a relapse is ever present. The spirit stands ready to re-emerge and usurp its authority at the first opportunity it can find. One of the core concepts that must be embraced in understanding how the spiritual realm operates is knowing that thoughts manifest as things. We already know that a thought is something we think; but what we generally don't acknowledge is that thought continues adding form and substance the more we think about it. Yes, it is the knowledge and practice of spiritual laws that put us in harmony with life and nature itself. All laws are rooted in and defined by their spiritual attributes and effects. Whatever we manifest is a direct reflection of its essence. We are the manifestation of our spirit in our everyday words and actions. The character of spirit is not demonstrated by whats implied, written or spoken. The character of spirit is simply determined by "what it does." Our relationships with our possessions, foods, drinks, drugs and other people operate from within the character of our consciousness. We may deceive ourselves but the characteristics of spirit are evidenced by their actions and confirmed by their results. The universe is not divided. There is no dark side. The partitions or realms we refer to are description and do not actually exist. When describing the unseen phenomena of spirit we do it very little justice by comparing the invisible and intangible with the physical and finite. Comparisons only scratch the surface of this subject. The biggest obstacle to sensing and the surveillance of the substance of spirit is our failure to acknowledge and accept its obvious signs. Throughout our lives we have been erroneously influenced to believe that the things we experience are a direct result or by-product of the things we see. This is a false premise that distorts all of life's perspectives. Most babies and small children tend to be more spiritually sensitive then adults because they have not embraced this lie. Sometimes that imaginary friend a child refers to is not just imaginary. We tend to erroneously embrace a doctrine that brainwashes our minds and gradually teaches us to ignore, deny and move away from our "innate" spiritual instincts. Spirit may not be seen, but spirit can be sensed. Sometimes we are alerted to the presence or markings of spirit by a smell, an odd temperature or a noise. Most visual manifestations are generally fictitious figments of imagination. Our imaginations may also tend to deceive us into seeing (creating an image) something that has no physical form. Maybe this is why most depictions of demons are sinister in appearance. It should be reasonable to assume that any spirit desiring to inhabit or be embraced by a host would present itself in a positive light; like a wolf in SHEEP'S clothing rather than a hideous scary figure. A real haunted house may not look haunted outside but it should feel haunted inside. It is unfortunate that rather than gravitate towards deeper spiritual understanding we tend to focus on intellectual advancements. If we seek to discover the spiritual significance of anything, we can find it. Let's start practicing by expanding our perception of the presence of spirit in our lives. Remember that "through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." *******THE**SPIRIT**OF**UNDERSTANDING*******Naming and labeling spirits like the Devil, Lucifer or Satan is not what this blog is about. The term "evil spirit" is just another way to call or label a spirit based on its manifest actions. Anyone who believes in aroma therapy intuitively acknowledges the influence of spirit. Exercising the "belief of intention" through rituals and routines is often practiced by burning sage or other cleansing methods. Any ceremony addressing spiritual issues implies a need for spiritual order. Spiritual order dictates the way any natural manifestation occurs. What has been termed as being possessed by a spirit may not be accurate. After all spirits do not possess us, we posses them. We supply the habitat they are fellow inhabitants. Spirit(s) is/are multidimensional. In order for us to sense spirit in us, we must be "in spirit." "Walking in the spirit" allows us to discern spirits that attach themselves to us during daily encounters with these forces. If a spirit cannot abide it will at least try to hitch a ride. They often come and go. Sometimes we see their manifestations in bursts of anger followed by calm. There is an old spiritual saying that "birds of a feather flock together." We find this to be true concerning our friends and our interests. The missing part of this saying should add "until the cat comes a calling." Spirits can be like fair weather friends. They tend to guide, hide and abide with us unless we extricate or subordinate them. Why do we follow bad ideas? They guide us into trouble, hide from the trouble they caused and then afterwards flee or continue to abide with us. The closer we get to a ball the flatter it looks but that is not its actual shape. Once a spirit gets attached to our feelings, behaviors and attitudes it can disguise itself so well that we accept and adopt it as our own "familiar spirit." The longer we allow theses spirits to operate and flourish, the easier it is to accept their behaviors and put up with their damaging ways. This is the "spirit of compromise." Whenever we excuse, ignore and fail to stand for truth by condemning wrong in any form, from anybody we adopt/allow that spirit. There is spirit involved in every human endeavor. Greed is not good even if Wall Street says so. The spirit in business, politics and social interactions characterizes the way our world operates. We are the carriers of spirit. It is through us that spirits (behaviors) are nourished, cherished or can flourish. What we accept and allow in our leaders and all throughout society sets the spiritual tone of our existence. Permitting or sanctioning the aberrant behaviors of spirits allows them to combine into strongholds. Evil intentions, revenge, anger, violence and mob mentality all originate from thought introduced and entertained but not rejected. Thought, once developed takes on a life of its own that can infect and affect the spirit of our interactions. If rumor alone can create anxiety and panic think about what a rouge spirit of hate can do. What if "spirit" acts upon nature and affects weather itself? Is that too far fetched to believe? If in the beginning the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and thus created light. Why not allow our spirits to create solutions for the problems we face today!
