Time for You

Time is Endless.

And yet we experience only a piece of it.

Our earth time cuts eternity into time segments.

Life is Endless.

But we experienced it on earth in years, Time Segments.

Time is the perception of Change.

You cannot have one without the other.

Eternity is changeless perfection.

Infinity is endless Time.

Time does not run out, it turns back on itself and rewrites history.

Time exists in an infinite pattern of loops and it’s themes are replayed in the form of life lessons.

You cannot escape a loop until you learn its lesson and change the pattern.

You cannot escape Time because as your circle of influence grows, you are always in another pattern.

You are in The Circle of Infinity.

Time Machine

The madman possessed a Time Machine.

He used it to move people back and forth indiscriminately, through time.

They found it, the ancient Machine, and practiced using it, and moved a boy who was in the wrong place to the wrong time.

The people saw him appear mid air on his skateboard.  They made a statue toward him.

Going back in time to meet themselves, but they did not speak, for fear they would wreck the future.

They saw each other and kept walking.

The boy needs to be found and brought back to his time before he notices he is gone.

Only another trip through time will resolve that.

They don't know how the Machine works, only how to push the buttons.

This is karma.

Only the madman knows how to unravel it.

Who Let the Cat out?

I feel bad for Meghan Markle.  Unfortunately, I know how it feels to have your own family embarrass you on your wedding day.  How very noble of Prince Charles to step in and walk her down the aisle.  Meghan’s own father and brother seem unable to handle being related to a celebrity.  The one tried to cash in and the other felt the need to destroy his sister’s character in a nasty letter to her fiancé.

I don’t delve into celeb gossip, but her sad family does hit close to home.

I’ve had similar problems.  

So how does one live it down after saying or doing something deplorable?

Prince Charles has had his own mistakes played out in the public eye.  He knows well how messy life really is.  It takes time to recover people’s respect and trust after you have made a bad mistake. Unfortunately, some people don’t know how to move forward.

They want to forget, and they assume everyone else will play along.

Maybe you misspoke, or got drunk and trashed someone’s wedding, or got angry and scared someone away.  Did you do something you really wish you hadn’t.  You made a colossal mistake.

The wrong thing to do is play it off like no big deal.

There are hurt feelings involved, maybe resentment, maybe anger, maybe even fear.

You need to face what you did and who you did it to.  Apologize. Then give some time and space to the victims of your bad behavior.

The next move is not yours.  You then need to wait for the grace of God to step in and move your friends and/or family to forgive you.

Next time, you can and will do better.  Next time you have to forgive someone, remember this.  If you lose your temper, it is you who may damage a relationship beyond repair.

I feel bad for Meghan.  Her family has wounded her.  But I’ve moved forward.  I still have an emptiness where certain people used to live in my heart.  I have new friends and family to love as well.  

When people won’t acknowledge their mistakes, it is not possible to move forward with them.  

It’s a lot easier not to make a mistake than it is to clean it up.  Once the cat is out of the bag, it must be acknowledged. How you treat people in this situation says volumes about who you are.  Be as kind as humanly possible.

Reality Among the gods

Your reality is what you see.

What you see is your reality.

What came first, the reality or the vision.

The Light Heavens removes that mystery.  You see exactly what you think.

It is neither wrong nor right.  It just is.

So long as one sees exactly what one thinks, vision is nothing but projection.

As a child of God, no one may tell you what you think.  You are sovereign in your domain, your realm of consciousness.

On earth, your senses sometimes speak of your environment and sometimes they are deceived.

Your mind has never breached the clouds.  You see what you think, always.

This is your mind.

To see beyond...your mind...is to acknowledge the entire Kingdom, the realm outside your sovern domain.  This is just ... more reality.  It is always your choice what you see.

That is the lesson of the Light Heavens to the children of God.

Admonishment

Negative feedback can easily create negative feelings.  A correction therefore need not be an admonishment.

It’s best to wait for any negative emotions to subside before addressing said concerns.  When a calm and rational approach has been decided on, its then best to wait until the incident recurs, as they usually do.

In this manner, the other person, child or animal understands best the reason for correction.  You keep mindful at all times that you are correcting a mistake and not delivering a punishment.

Most people and creatures love to please and be appreciated.  You can facilitate supportive relationships by communicating simply what is needed and then showing gratitude when that is delivered.

Emphasize the positive, what you need, versus what was done wrong.

Example:  Thanks for doing this.   I really appreciate your help.  Unfortunately, we needed it done this way and had to have it redone.  Consider it a learning experience.  Here’s what to do next time.

Example:  You’re right, I don’t understand this.  Please tell me what I need to know.

With animals a simple No when it makes a mistake and lots of encouragement and praise when it does the right thing 😊. The best way to teach a simple creature is through gentle repetition.

We all try our best and it’s disheartening to make a mistake.  A good way to judge a man’s character is to see the way he treats you when you’ve made a mistake.  To err is human. To forgive is divine.

Incivility

While we are on the topic of bad behaviors, let’s consider the high cost of incivility.

On both a global and a personal level , the raw anger, hatred and incivility is precisely why nations and neighbors cannot come to any accord.  Negotiations with terrorists and rogue nations are at best a ploy for time and at worst a foolish waste of time.  There is no peaceful answer.  Talks with your enemy don’t go any better.

Like a wound that festers bad relationships escalate into scarred bodies and lives.

It takes time for wounds to heal, as well as treatment.  During that process, the wound must remain covered and not disturbed.

Where an apology is not forthcoming, simple politeness and civility can allow festering tensions to calm.  With time, emotions subside and constructive talk may be possible.

This takes a willingness on all sides to work towards peace.  Only a calm mind can reason.  A calm mind sees that the brotherhood of man shares one home, One World.  Tanks and weapons of war are tools of destruction.  Outreaches of food and medicine and rebuilding are messengers of civilization and support.  

Extend your hand to your neighbor and keep your words civil.  You may never come to love your brother, but then again Miracles are where God takes the final step after you have walked the mile.

Drunkenness

To a degree of moderation alcohol can have a positive affect on health.

In excess it can kill.

Somewhere in between it poisons the mind and body.

We turn to it to take the edge off our day, to lubricate our social anxiety, and to kill the pain of mental or physical anguish.

Alcohol works it’s way into our lives as a crutch, and for some it goes no further.  They learn once what happens when they drink too much, and they control the beast.

For some others, the beast controls them.  They cannot go a day without it.  They function on the surface, but emotionally they are dysfunctional.  For any moment they are not busy, they must drown their thoughts in an alcohol abyss.

The next level is those who no longer function in society; their jobs, friends, families are affected to such an extent that relationships fail, ties are severed.  Beyond this is pure destruction.

Quitting is possible, if not easy.  Controlling the beast is a way of empowering oneself to understand what causes the dependence on alcohol.  Quitting does not solve the underlying emotional issue.  Quitting pulls oneself back from the final stages of alcoholism.

The underlying cause of alcohol dependency must be confronted to remove the power of alcohol over one’s life.  This is how one collars the beast.

Examine the root of unhappiness, what is missing in your life that your relationships, job and activities do not fulfill.  What thoughts are you hoping to drown?  You could see a therapist, but you know what truly saddens you.  You just don’t know how to make a change.

A lifestyle change is empty for you without a purpose.  Here is where you need to take time to think, without that drink.  What is it you need to fulfill your dreams.  When you think of your dreams, do you see your life now, do you see yourself overindulging, or do you see something else?  Now make a plan and give yourself a reason to make a change.
