Just when I think no one will miss me, my true friends show up on my blog and in my Discord messages saying ...
Where are you?
How are you?
Blog activities are also almost zero.
Everything is fine?
And My Day is Very Good!
Actually, really, my day is very good. I have been spending Tuesdays in the downtown of one of the small cities near my home.
I spend most of the time at the coffee shop. I'll attach photos.
It is not uncommon to have the all day company of others who use the coffee shop as a bit of an office. It's kind of the usual suspects but on a rotating basis. So far, I seem to be the only one committed to Tuesdays only.
Tuesdays are my day because then I can see the massage therapist who knows how to help the lymph glands move poisons out of the body. Plus my chiropractor knows how to keep my Atlas vertebrae in place. And my ribs!
So this week is the 4th week in a row. I'm really feeling better! I still feel fragile but not as broken!
So Happy Dance!
In Other News
I've had someone new start asking me about how I walk out my beliefs about God, Yehovah. It's had me thinking about something. I've continued to watch various YouTubes that keep up with Current Events in the world of Conspiracy Analysis and Q. And it's had me thinking about the same thing. And then, George Bush up and croaked. It's had me running face-smacking-hard into the same thing. And Christmas is coming in this little city, making it difficult for people to deal with me. I know every time I say, "I believe in Jesus but I don't celebrate Christmas. I celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles." ... I know that I am that being that thing! I feel sorry for them. Really.
So let's talk about this thing!
It Is REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT to Encounter an Affront to Your Programmed View of Life. Painfully, Stunningly DIFFICULT !!
And the more I talk to people all over the world, the more I know this is a Universal Truth because we all have "programming."
Some of the programming is good. Some of it is not so good. Some of it is just neutral.
In life, we desperately want the good guys to line up on one side and the bad guys to line up on the other.
I still remember in great clarity where I lived and how we felt and behaved when we realized there's been an incredibly long war against Yehovah to hide his name and His Festivals. I remember staring at the fire in the fireplace and thinking back over all that I had encountered in my life as far as religion goes. I remember lying on the floor watching the plethora of teachers on the monitor ... I remember feeling like the breath was being pulled from me in one way while I was breathing in something else entirely.
It is nothing to re-enter that stunned feeling even as I write about it now, 4 years later.
I can remember 15 years ago, like it was yesterday, a time listening to a DVD (or cassette tape?) out of a series of presenters from a seminar on Prophecy. I remember sitting in the car by the lake in Texas (my home state), by the RV we were living in. I was hearing about how The central bank works and who owns them and who's related to them ... and, then, somehow George Bush ended up on the wrong side in that speaker's version of reality.
Done! Obviously a nut case! At least he did apologize for bringing the bad news. But. No more listening to that speaker.
All the same, I'm fairly sure we can all remember how fond George Bush was of the "New, World Order" .. a phrase which I somehow always heard as "the New World order," as in, "an order like the New World." All my days growing up, the US was the New World. I dunno. Leave my naivety alone.
So this bit of truth about George Bush has always been like a little thorn, pricking at my programming that George Bush is a good Republican and being from Texas, he had to be one of the good ones.
And then, like to shove all the presidents off the cliff, there was the unpleasant encounter with the concept that they all descend from some old line from some old king somewhere and even the Carters, Bushes, Clintons and the Obamas are somehow related. BUT NOT TRUMP!
I just stuffed this into the "Well that's Damn Unpleasant to Learn" file. One of the top 3 ignored files in the cabinet. The detestable thing has a way of resurfacing at the front / top of the files.
The slowly unraveling drama being played out in the world of politics is dragging all these ignored and whispered "Conspiracies" into a crashing, clanging, horrifying Grand Opera.
I think, "So? it doesn't destroy any of the things you've come to suspect." Then I think, "No, I don't want to think that everything I knew was wrong." Then I think, "This is upside down!!"
Ok. No. You can stop with the "and did you know that .... ?" I've not got the energy to do any more with this political stuff than to stuff more info into the "Unpleasant" File and let go of the good guys vs bad guys scenario.
So what does this have to do with the "Young Ones?"
I don't know which one is more of a shock to the system. Is it to realize that sometimes the bad guys actually have a valid bit of truth? Or Is it to realize that the good guys are actually our enemies?
What if our truth is a lie?
I'm thinking back to all the times I've been smacked in the face with facts that contradict my view. There have been times I've dealt better with this than other times.
Let me just assure you right here. Anger and Denial don't work well.
So. But. There is something that does work.
Well it only works if you believe there is truth and that, at some point, truth will be known.
Here's the background story to how I began to learn this weird technique that works :-D
When I started talking to people via the Internet, I started realizing there were certain patterns in the way people communicate and they differ between the sexes and between the ages. It's not something I can teach, it's more or less something I pick up via intuition. Also, back to the other little weird thing about me, If I'm talking to you, I'm asking Yehovah for wisdom about and for you.
So, prayer mixed together with this intuitive discernment of patterns has caused me to pick up on numerous situations where the person behind the keyboard was presenting a facade.
Then
It dawned on me!
It's okay to just allow the person to present as they wanted to present themselves. In due time, the truth would come fully to the surface -- usually because the person chose to present the truth. Why? Because somewhere in the time I became trustworthy. And then I get to sound all wise when they leak out a test bit of info and I say, "Hmm I had kind of come to suspect that." How? Well because of this or that or the other little miniscule tip of the hand.
It's not necessary to make accusations. It's not necessary to be angry. All I had to do was just wait out the play and protect myself as I needed, if I needed.
If things got dangerous or insulting, I just shut down the play by throwing them off my life stage.
So then I started applying this to real life. So. The person wants to present themselves as independent and capable and fearless and full of knowledge? Let them. The person wants to parade around in costumes? Well ... so be it.
The person thinks they know all Republicans are bad? Okay. So? The person thinks all Democrats are the bringers of personal wealth? Well, whatever. At some point that person will work in a job and bring home next to zero in their pay. At some point that person will want to do their own thing just to be drowned in red tape. What's it to me?
Okay. Technically, I do worry about them but ...
I don't have to be the one to argue them into reality. I mean, really. Who wants to be in reality anyway? It falls on us fast enough.
Then there's the people who tell me the church fathers have their convoluted version of Yehovah and Yeshua (God and Jesus) all figured out. ... I'm learning to let them think that. I mean technically it's their convoluted story. Mine's not convoluted.
I'm learning that just by saying, "It's not necessary to put aside logic to belive God."
OR
By saying, "I believe in Jesus, but I don't celebrate Christmas."
I am presenting that thorn that picks and picks at their story.
It's okay if they are confused and angry about that thorn that's picking at the weave. I don't have to make it worse.
I mean look it. I got really angry at the person actually telling me the answer to the questions I had prayed for answers to! I need to just let them be in that place where they aren't fighting with me. I need to just let them want to prove me wrong.
I'm learning that the political drama is the same.
Let people be angry. Let them be sure they know the truth. Let them be annoyed. Let them enter their own path to discovering the truth.
You don't have to be angry that they are angry. Yes, it is possible to be hurt and wounded without being angry.
You don't have to be the one to rip away the veil and blow away the smoke that exists between them and you and between the two of you and the truth. In due time, Truth will do the work.
Every story has documented facts. If you are angry, find those documents. If you have a document with facts, present that document BUT Only IF it is requested by the other side. Then be brave. Let the other side present their documents. Then be really brave and let the other side compare the documents and you compare them, also.
If nothing else, the two of you will find points of minor agreement. And facts that are presented in your own story and their story will be uncovered that was unknown by one or both of you.
Then decisions will be made. Individual decisions. You still will not be taking over their life and making their decisions because, "Look. My facts are the truth." Because, ironically, "facts" aren't the whole story. They aren't the whole truth.
I am convinced
We in the United States are going to have many Paradigm Shifting days that no one is ready for, nor can we be ready for them.
I think we are in for more "facts" than we can sort but some facts are going to be completely undeniable ... but they will be denied.
Eventually, we will see all see the truth. The truth. Not "my truth" verses "your truth." We will see The Truth. And we won't be ready. We can't be ready.
And then, what if there's one truth and one plan that wraps all the stories into one story? Wouldn't that be annoying? We won't be ready. We can't be ready.
Be ready to think for yourself! Be ready to be on the opposite side of where your "tribe" is.
Okay. You're gonna have to live without banners etc until I have time to come back and leave them in the comments. My chariot out of here approaches. Actually, I'm sure I'll have to come back and fix errors but ....
ttyl! Love ya!
