Constantly be an appreciator of life by feeling the all of your being. Without “being,” we perceive not.
When all thought and action are reduced to caring for one another, there is no surplus. Only a Plus.

And the Quest, as it may be, ends in attainment- we know not where and when; so long as we can conceive of our separate existence, the quest goes on- an attainment continued henceforward. And ever shall the study of the ways which have been followed by those who have passed in front be a help on our path.

pushing ourselves to our limits,
“Culture is missing the Grand Power of Motivation towards the unknown- that physical action of advancing towards fear, pushing ourselves to our limits, so we may therefore push ourselves beyond those limits to create more advantageous precipices from which thereupon, we we may elevate our efforts; for we are rewarded with the strength, courage and some wisdom which allows us to experience the Great Power of Motivation which operates the Sun and the Moon.”

God is Kind, but Stern.
“Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.”

Life Advice:
“Just accept it as it is.”
Matt Kaufner
When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…
“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself. As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!

PSALM 141:5
Doing nothing at a time when nothing can be done has never been my strongpoint. Being a man who cares about reforming culture to some moral rectitude of accountability has been an exhausting mental exercise of futility. To say that society has lost its responsibilities is a gross understatement! Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington and James Madison all have one attribute in common. Let us call that characteristic, “Redemption ”.

You Cannot Witness Yourself.
“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.”
JOHN 5:31-32
Of a man who chooses not to see the light, neither all the books in the world may enlighten him; and for a man who sees the light, a single word is too much! As we are surrounded by (and ruled by,) self-deceiving people, the only recompense is to constantly and instantly forgive them. Be an example of the Great Light which shineth from above.

I saw this movie when I was 23 and thought, “Man, what a lunatic!” I saw it at 33 and thought, “I mean, I guess he might have a point in there somewhere, but still – that’s insane.” At 43, it became “Well, ok. I kind of get it, now. A bit extreme, but I get it.” Today at 53? “I have no problem with anything this man is doing”

Cold water hardens wax to form shape. A shadow is cast, from a candle’s light, flickering in a fleeting moment. Without a Candle, Marylin would have never seen the wind blow. Without darkness, the moon would not wax. Dark as her sudden silence seemed, and as remarkable as JFK’s birthday, song’s tease , the wick of the candle is sometimes trimmed away.
