Learning From an Eagle

SIX LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE

“1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.
They don’t fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.

MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company.

A Man Needs Three.

“A man need a three types of men in his life:

1. A Grandfather Figure to learn from,

2. An equal to share “Life Experiences,” with

3. and a Little Brother to teach and to guide.”

“… speaking of it in terms of a man’s Christian walk.
He needs mature Christian men to mentor him
He needs Christian brothers roughly the same age to walk with him through life.
He needs younger men to mentor.”

Shackleton’s Shipwreck Found

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Ship, “Endurance”

“In 2022 Scientists have found and filmed one of the greatest ever undiscovered shipwrecks 107 years after it sank. The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.

The Quest

“… Taking nothing with us which does not belong to ourselves, leaving nothing behind us that is of our real selves,…”

“And so the Quest goes on. 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.

Travel to the Unknown Idea

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.”

Circular Connection

Breathe-In
Moderately-Controlled

Make the aura around you flow of purple water-
It’s current- Strong,
Revolutionary of itself.
When you notice that your focus has been lost
Breathe-In
Moderately-Controlled
down through your Sacral Chakra,
Circulating the inside of the chakra;
condensing it’s
outer physical membrane.

Be the Beam of Light

When asking How to help others, she said,

“You cannot help anybody;
all you can do is
Be the Beam of Light.”

Carolina Zachariah

In other words, you cannot help people who do not realize they need help, or do not want help.

All we can do is be the example of what we want others to be.

Emotion: the Hinderance of the Soul

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!

The Conspiracy of Santa Clause

A Message to Aspiring Brethren:

The Now Civil War

“It is useless to reason with those whose confidence is not shaken in the face of impossibilities, whose imagination can bridge all gulfs in evidence by fantastic suppositions.”

Arthur Edward Waite; Doctrine and Literature of the Kabala (page 116)
The Now Civil War

As it says in the Bible, in the book of MATTHEW:

The Divergent Talk

“Let the Righteous Smite Me!”

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”.

Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.

And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.”

And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said,

“Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Bearing Witness

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.

This Movie

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”

A Letter Written to a Lost Friend

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,

and as remarkable as JFK’s birthday, song’s tease,

Lack of Value

People who do not value your time

When a person does not value your time, they do not respect you.

Those who do not value your time see the lack of value within themselves and are compensating.

Public Service Announcement:

Treating a person’s time as less important than your own is Covert Narcissistic Abusive behavior.

Narcissists get their energy by finding a victim to abuse; then they destroy that victim’s life.

Faith in Mankind

Language makes no mistake in making a synonym of the word, “right,” with the term, “correct”. Furthermore, language correlates the word, “left,” with abandonment. If you are, “left,” you are, “left behind”.  When you are right, you are, “correct”. When mankind’s understanding becomes, “right,” about something, it leaves what is, “wrong,” behind. In humanity, people rendered as being incorrect are left behind by those who are correct. This is true of the animal kingdom, for the weakest or injured animals are many times left behind; because one injured animal attracts the danger of many predators. Faith does not ensure survival in the animal kingdom.

Sharing Existence With Each Other

Time Defined

“Time” is defined by a general feeling.
While focusing on a certain experience,
Using definable paradigms,
This creates a, “general feeling.”
When it feels like, “day,” it is “daytime.”
During the quiet, darkness of night,
you focus on the crickets, the frogs
and the smell of the air.
It feels like, “nighttime”!
Time is not linear.

“Durations of time”
are simply general feelings
compiled to create an overall feeling,
known as an, “era”.
The end of an era is simply
the end of one overall feeling
and the beginning to one, other,
particular, general feeling.

Narcissistic Managers

The Narcissistic Boss Will:

They create an unproductive work environment, then, blame it on the employees. Over time, this drains people’s souls and creates a low-level, low-paying workplace.

Inflation is a Lie.

We send, “money,” to Ukraine but send words to the Middle East. Imagine how foolish people are right now, believing that inflation is a real thing. Think about it: if we printed “too much” money, nobody would refuse it saying, “that money isn’t worth anything because there is too much it it.” … how STUPID are people to believe that “inflation,” is a cause and effect scenario? Inflation is simply lying about the value of a piece of paper and saying that a banana is worth more of those pieces of paper, as the result of having too many of those pieces of paper!

Ostracizing Your Fellow Man

… Being employed by men who want to do it all themselves to show you that they don’t need you, that they can do it themselves, but, more importantly, (to them,) they think they are showing you that they are tougher and better than you are; when, in actuality, they are ignorant in ostracizing the very fellow-man which they, themselves, need in order to survive!
A farm is not run by one man; and a one man farm is a lonely, pitiful situation rather than a farm.

No Time

“There is no time in nature. There is rhythm in nature, yes. There is motion in nature. But the clock as a measure of motion is a human artifact. The world, as it spins on its axis, doesn’t tick.”

Alan Watts, excerpt from seminar TIME AND THE FUTURE, July, 1967.

Lack of Population Control

The issue is that none of the work that I do right now builds something for the future.
A man pays me,
and he’s done with me;
and all of my work leaves me with nothing.

It used to be,
when you work,
you were working towards something in the end- a piece of the pie;
however,
nowadays,
there is no reward-
Only thieves.

Snapshot

Introverts

“The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions–sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear.
Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments–both physical and emotional–unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss–another person’s shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”

Pepe, a nice Guatemalan man, the assistant trainer for Kelly R., gave me permission to sleep in the office at the barn for one night; but he told me to be careful of the cameras, because nobody is allowed to sleep there. I slept there for two nights. Early, in the morning, after the second night,

For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world
and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return
for his soul?

Mike Tyson on Fear

“’Cus used to get turned on when I told him that I was afraid and I might be a coward. He loved that. He knew that would feed into my fear base and he worked everything off fear. Cus wanted you to react like a robot so that when he said something, you’d do it on command. Cus showed me the difference between fear and intimidation. Being intimidated prevents you from performing at the highest level you’re capable of. But fear can help you ascend to great heights. ‘Be afraid of your opponent personally but don’t be afraid to hurt him,’ he told me. What people don’t realize is that when controlled properly fear can take you to a level of euphoria where you believe you’re invincible. Very few people can get to that level. But when you do, a weird aberration of nature takes place and you’re sent to a level of invincible proportion.’”

Eye Gathered Countries

As one reaches into a nest,
so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.’”
Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club brandish the one who is not wood!’ …”

Path of the Righteous Horseman

It is accurate to say that all the Old School horsemen are all gone. Just as capitalism no longer guarantees freedom (for the middle class), working hard in aspiration of earning an adequately-compensatory wage deems to be in incongruence with sanity, according to the current, socioeconomic reality. The delegation of a man of higher caliber insists that his such sojourn be ambulated, or accompanied by, similarly-spirited, likely-educated and strongly-willed, gentile warriors of both the sword and the book.

Japhy’s Correspondence

I swim deeply in the shallow waters of the minds of people- people who pass me by and leave me be, run away from me and avoid my suggestive nature.

I’ve found my spot, stay tight on the rail, yet, I’m wide-open and getting out. One Percent is me, an anarchist waging their own law against the lawmakers and the police-assholes-of-the-state. An Anarchist, and, though I don’t care if this world has a place for me in that, I still search for brotherhood and a woman. Lone traveler, as I always have been, machete in hand, whip in the other, torn between the two worlds, I swim deeply in the shallow waters of the minds of people- people who pass me by and leave me be, run away from me and avoid my suggestive nature. I scare away even me, you see? And that is ok with me, but not ok with me.

Benefits of Canabis

  1. “One hectare of cannabis releases as much oxygen as 25 hectares of forest. Cannabis grows in 4 months and trees in 20-50 years.
  2. From one hectare of cannabis you get the same amount of paper as 4 hectares of forest.
  3. Trees make recyclable paper 3 times while hemp makes recyclable paper 8 times. Hemp paper is the best and most durable.
  4. Hemp plants are a radiation trap. Cannabis plantations purify the air.
  5. Hemp can be grown anywhere in the world, it needs very little water. Furthermore, because it can defend itself from parasites, it doesn’t need pesticides.
  6. Hemp textiles outperform flax products on their own properties.
  7. Hemp is an ideal plant for producing edges, ropes, bags, shoes, hats…
  8. Cannabis is banned in Bulgaria. But technical cannabis does not contain a drug and can be cultivated freely.
  9. The protein value of cannabis seeds is very high and two fatty acids contained in them are nowhere else in nature.
  10. Producing cannabis is much cheaper than soy.
  11. Animals who eat cannabis don’t need hormone supplements.
  12. All plastic products can be made with hemp, hemp plastic is environmentally friendly and completely biodegradable.
  13. Hemp can also be used for thermal insulation of buildings, it’s durable, cheap and flexible.
  14. Hemp soaps and hemp cosmetics do not pollute water, so they are completely environmentally friendly.

The Story You Tell Yourself

“There are two ways of telling your story. One is to tell it compulsively and urgently, keep returning to it
because you see your present suffering
as the result of your past experiences.

But there is another way.

You can tell your story from the place where it no longer dominates you.
You can speak about it with a certain distance
and see it as the way
to your present freedom.”

Living the Sins of The Dead

Arrogance/Pride is the Deadly Sin which is dragging the world around.


Some would assume it is Gluttony, because there are a lot of very, very overly-obese people ambling around; and those people are also being Greedy whilst over-eating the wrong things.


Lust tends to overcrowd the minds of men and women nowadays as sex buys a woman in a pretty dress a drink while the notion of that dress purchases a man’s whims, employing a no-refund policy.


Sloth slows the feet down of the people. They trudge around, displaying no purpose or inspiration during the hours of their public day.
Wrath- the most misunderstood sin of all, seems to be many people’s unguided, “somebody is shaking the jar,” motive. It is the notion of, “social justice,” in action.

Envy imprisons the minds of the less fortunate. People view others, not knowing what others have acquired, however, they want what others have- not knowing what that is!

You Are Not Alone

“Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.”

“You’re not the first person
who was ever confused
and frightened
and even sickened
by human behavior.

You’re by no means alone
on that score.

Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.

Happily, some of them
kept records of their troubles.
You’ll learn from them—
if you want to.

Just as someday,
if you have something to offer,
someone will learn
something from you.
It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education.
It is history.
It is poetry.”

Wordless Groans

“And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit”

“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to s0nship, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we are saved.

But hope that is seen
is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have,
we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”

ROMANS 8:22-27

Minor Peace

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

The loudest voice in the room is not usually the correct voice. The silence of the majority has its social benefit by virtue of compassion, however,

the silence and inaction of the majority is a fatal weapon against progress, survival and peace.

One person at a bar (a millennial,) talking loudly over others about how amazing or oppressed they are becomes annoying to the rest of the people at the bar.

It is unfortunate that society allows this!

The majority is silently annoyed, but nobody approaches the millennial to inform they that they are annoying everybody around them!
It seems, to maintain peace, the majority agrees to bear unpeaceful environments and succumb to actual abuse!

Of an entire nation aware that the government has overstepped its authority and function, no peaceful repose can be heard over the loudest, incorrect, most (not-at-peace) minority.

For the majority to overpower the un-peaceful minority would have to be an exercise of totalitarianism.

Defining God

“mathematically speaking, is why God is more like a line than a point.”

“Nicolaus proposed thinking of God in an image more than like the line which is by definition unbounded,
impossible to hem-in or to possess.

Instead of thinking of God in constrained images equivalent to mathematical symbols of the sphere or the triangle…”
he suggested viewing God as a line.

Constantine’s Sword page 349

“Theologians spoke of God as they understood God fully, and they sought to enforce a uniformity of thought that left no room for mystery, ambiguity or paradox. Nicolaus of Cusa saw, on the contrary, that God is God precisely in escaping and transcending total comprehension by human beings. Just as a line is defined by its movement in opposite directions at once, so God is the coincidence of opposites, the one in whom maximum and minimum fall together. In God, the coincidence occurs in such a way that the contraries maintain their differences, which, mathematically speaking, is why God is more like a line than a point.”

The Sword of Constantine page 350

Phases of Mitosis

What is mitosis?

“The great majority of the cell divisions that happen in your body involve mitosis. During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells, and throughout an organism’s life, it replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones. For single-celled eukaryotes like yeast, mitotic divisions are actually a form of reproduction, adding new individuals to the population.”

She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence; should would involve herself beyond the powers of extrication, in all wars of interest and intrigue, of envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.

The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become a dictatress of the world. We would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit.”

John Quincy Adams, July, 1821

“Democracy in America”

“A majority taken collectively is not an individual whose opinions and frequently, whos interests are opposed to those of another individual who is styled a minority.
If it be admitted that a man possessing absolute power may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should not the majority he held liable to the same reproach?
Men do not change their characters by uniting with each other; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with their strength.
For my own part, I cannot believe it, the power to do everything which I should refuse to my equals, I will never grant to any number of them?

Alexis de Tocqueville, 1832

The Strife of the Smart Man

My Experience:

In a world where doing wrong is seen as being correct
and where being correct is treated as being revolutionary or argumentative,
those of us who have maintained our moral rectitude currently relate less and less to our fellow humans.
I have belabored, “The Dunning Kruger Affect,” to the extent of mocking my fellow man.

It confused and angered me. I did not know how to deal with people in my daily life in a cordial way anymore.
It felt like I was surrounded by idiots and that I was the only person who cared to make myself and the world around me better.

My good friend, Don Adams, explained it to me. Don said this to me:

“You are surrounded by grown men who have child’s minds.”

Don Adams

The Pareto Principle keeps bounding around inside my head. Realizing that there is no escaping this paradigm, this reality, I have sought coping mechanisms to attempt to maintain being courteous surrounded by a world of discourteous people. I have found no useful tools to dissuade my resentful knowing of these people.

The Now Civil War

“ It is useless to reason with those whose confidence is not shaken in the face of impossibilities, whose imagination can bridge all gulfs in evidence by fantastic suppositions.”

Rifleman’s Creed

“We are the masters of our enemy.”

This is my rifle.  
There are many like it,
but this one is mine.  
It is my life.  
I must master it as I must master my life.  
Without me my rifle is useless.  
Without my rifle, I am useless.        
I must fire my rifle true.  
I must shoot straighter than the enemy
who is trying to kill me.  
I must shoot him before he shoots me.  

I will.  

My rifle and I know that what counts in war
is not the rounds we fire,
the noise of our burst,
or the smoke we make.  
We know that it is the hits that count.  

We will hit.

      My rifle is human,
even as I am human,
because it is my life.  
Thus, I will learn it as a brother. 
 I will learn its weaknesses,
its strengths,
its parts,
its accessories,
its sights and its barrel.  
I will keep my rifle clean and ready,
even as I am clean and ready.  
We will become part of each other.
      Before God I swear this creed.  
My rifle and I are the defenders of my country.  

We are the masters of our enemy.  

We are the saviors of my life.

      So be it,

until victory is America’s
and there is no enemy.

THE WEB OF LIFE

“From her web, Grandmother Spider observed the first thoughts as the Universal Mind awakened from the dream. “

When the Universe was still so dark that not even shadows could be seen in the night, Grandmother Spider sat in her web in the Sky World, waiting and watching. No one knows how old Grandmother Spider is, or how long she sat waiting for the Universal Mind to awaken. But, every Creature Being who has ever lived knows her song and dance as the weaver of the Web of Life.

The Archer’s Bow

“Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited
    but will be completely desolate.
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;
    they will scoff because of all her wounds.
 ‘Take up your positions around Babylon,
    all you who draw the bow.
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,
    for she has sinned against the Lord.
Shout against her on every side!
    She surrenders, her towers fall,
    her walls are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance of the Lord,
    take vengeance on her;
    do to her as she has done to others.
 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword of the oppressor
    let everyone return to their own people,
    let everyone flee to their own land.'”

The hands of your fellow brethren have laid the foundation of this temple; and the hands of your fellow brethren are now beginning to complete its stronghold. Through your studies and actions, we, under this delicate ceiling, are Awake, as if from humanity’s deep sleep. (Zechariah 4:1)

The Truth Revealed

“…the truth of our beliefs
is revealed in history,
within the contours of the mundane,
and not
through cosmic interruptions
in the flow of time.

Revelation comes to us ambiguously.
Certitude and clarity
are achieved only in hindsight,
and even then
provisionally.”

James Carroll

Rebuilt

“After this , I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.”

This is the beginning of, or cornerstone of, the Temple. As the Sela Hammahlkoth is a fresh, encouraging Attitude, the destination is exactly that Unknown Feeling! ‘Tis a school, this project. ACTS 15:16 is not the journey. The destination is its own mystery.

PRINCES OF the SYMBOLIC JERUSALEM

“man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men.”

“We no longer expect to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem. To us it has become but a symbol. To us the whole world is God’s Temple, as is every upright heart. To establish all over the world the New Law and Reign of Love, Peace, Charity, and Toleration, is to build that Temple, most acceptable to God, in erecting which Masonry is now engaged. No longer needing to repair to Jerusalem to worship, nor to offer up sacrifices and shed blood to propitiate the Deity, man may make the woods and mountains his Churches and Temples, and worship God with a devout gratitude, and with works of charity and beneficence to his fellow-men. Wherever the humble and contrite heart silently offers up its adoration, under the overarching trees, in the open, level meadows, on the hill-side, in the glen, or in the city’s swarming streets; there is God’s House and the New Jerusalem.”

Juris Prudence “No Lodge shall make more than FIVE new Brethren at one Time.”

“II.
THE MASTER of a particular Lodge, has the right and authority of congregating the Members of his Lodge into a Chapter at Pleasure, upon any Emergency or Occurrence as well as to appoint the time and place of their usual forming : And in case of Sickness,
Death,
or

necessary

Absence of the MASTER,

the
Senior Warden

shall act as Master pro tempore, if no Brother is present who has been Master of that Lodge before ; for in that Case the absent Master’s Authority reverts to the last Master then present ; though he cannot act until the said senior Warden has once congregated the Lodge or in his Absence the junior Warden.”

Why The Weak Are Now, “In Charge”

“Such is the decree of destiny. If the people are content with freedom of conscious and constitutional liberty, it will be well. If, going to the other extreme, they plunge into universal doubt and anarchy, let us hope that this may be but a step in the process of spiritual and political regeneration. For us, the only law is, to fulfill our duty.”
-LEGENDA XXXII

“Blue Masonry
neither remembers its duty,
nor knows its powers.
It can neither prevent political convolutions,
nor avert the horrors
of civil war.
When these rage,
it’s voice is not uplifted
to still the storm;
but it withdrawals
into its cells and asyla,
hoping to emerge again
when the skies are
clear once more,
to renew its self-glorification,
and weary men
with its idle vanities.”

A Reminder to Myself

“We give our power away as humans- we blame others for things that happen to us,…”

“You’re probably not even at the halfway mark in your life, and if you think about it the first 25, you probably didn’t know much about anything.

Point being, your life up to this point has prepared you for this.

Now, you need to have the integrity of self to make decisions which align with your vision.”

Sampson and Delilah

In the story of Sampson and Delilah, Sampson was the Judge of people. He fell in love with a prostitute named, Delilah. Delilah favored selfishness and riches over Sampson. Delilah manipulated Sampson using his love for her to reveal the secret to his strength. Since love is blind, Sampson told her his secret. Using that secret, she betrayed him by turning him over to the Philistines in exchange for twenty-eight pounds of silver.

Why Pay the Court?

“Listen, my dear brothers and sisters:
Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you?
Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?

We ARE The Instrument

“There is no care or cross of our daily labor,
but was especially ordained to nurture in us patience,
calmness,
resolution,
perseverance,

magnanimity.

Nor is there any tool or implement of toil,
but is a part of the great spiritual instrumentality.”

“…Be always on the watch,…”

“Be careful,
or
your hearts
will be weighed down
with carousing,
drunkenness
and the anxieties of life,
and that day will close
on you
suddenly
like a trap.
For it will come on all those
who live on the face
of the whole earth.

Be always on the watch,
and pray that you may
be able to escape
all that is about to happen,
and that you may be able to stand before theSon of Man.”

Happiness Is Always Inside of You

“I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds 
of others 
for your happiness.”

“We are all alone,
born alone,
die alone,
and—in spite of True Romance magazines—
we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that,
in spite of our company,
we were alone the whole way.

I do not say lonely—
at least, not all the time—
but essentially, and finally, alone.

This is what makes your self-respect so important,
and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds
of others
for your happiness.”

God Chose Foolishness.

“But God chose the foolish things of the earth
to shame the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world
to shame the strong.”

For the message of the cross
is flashness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved,
it is the power of God.
For it is written:
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent
I will frustrate.’

The Apostle, Paul; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:17-19

The Meaning of Life

“This is true happiness:
to have no ambition and to work like a horse
as if you had every ambition.


To live far from men,
not to need them
and yet to love them.
To have the stars above,
the land to your left
and the sea to your right
and to realize of a sudden that in your heart,
life has accomplished its final miracle:

it has become a fairy tale.”

Nikos Kazantzakis, “Zorba the Greek”
