APPLICATIONS, PRACTICES, & PRINCIPLES EXPLAINED

IN THE INTANGIBLE INVISIBLE REALM OF SPIRIT, SOME THINGS ARE EASILY EXPLAINED AND OTHER THINGS DEFY LOGIC. SOME SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES MAY NOT BE SIMPLE. SOME SPIRITUAL APPLICATIONS MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS. HOWEVER, ACTIONABLE AND VISIBLE PATTERNS OR PRACTICES USUALLY BECOME APPARENT OVER TIME. WHAT WE SEE IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE GET. BY USING SLEIGH OF HAND AND SLEIGH OF TONGUE, DECEPTION HAS A WAY OF MAKING LIES APPEAR AS TRUTHS.THE TIME LINES AND THE TIME THAT INFORMATION IS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC CAN AFFECT AND/OR CLOUD OUR  PERCEPTION. THE "RED HERRINGS" ARE THE KIND OF FISH THEY KEEP FEEDING US. PLEASE DO NOT CHOKE ON THE BONES! ADJUSTING OR CHANGING THE NARRATIVE ALONG WITH MOVING THE GOAL POSTS ARE KNOWN TACTICS THAT ALLOW THESE ACTORS TO IMPROVISE! PLEASE READ, RESEARCH AND VERIFY EVERYTHING! WE CAN GENERALLY OBSERVE ANY CONSISTENT PRACTICE AND EVENTUALLY SEE ITS GOALS, MERIT, VALUE, WORTH OR WORTHLESSNESS. THE TRADITIONAL WAYS THAT NEWS WAS ONCE DELIVERED CANNOT BE TRUSTED. TRUTH WILL BECOME APPARENT MUCH EARLIER WHEN WE LEARN TO APPLY STANDARDS BASED ON AUTHENTICITY & TRANSPARENCY. WE MUST REALIZE THAT THE DEVIL MOSTLY WEARS A SMILE. SMILING FACES SOMETIMES TELL LIES!

MAKING IT PLAIN!

As aggregators, apologists, researchers and spiritual scientist, we must exercise discretion. Much of the convoluted messages that bombard society today lack moral standards and spiritual integrity. The powers that be, both natural and spiritual, are lurking behind the scenes monitoring us all. They actively scrutinize our everyday activities, the content of our conversations and reach of our individual messages, posts and publications. Be not deceived, the technologies of today are extensive and sophisticated enough to find a needle in a haystack! They can also be manipulated in ways that paint fake news and false pictures. Today media literacy is required to sift through all of the lies from all sides. Unfortunately, people today are reluctant to read. Seeing and listening is easier but much riskier in light of brainwashing techniques. Many of the followers in our forum will miss this sentence by only listening to the summary we read into a recorder!  Freedom can come in a moment but requires a maintenance cost to maintain it. The system seeks to return us to chains. On the natural side we must continue to exercise our rights and meet the challenges that seek to restrict freedom by speaking truth to power. On the spiritual side we must practice the profession of our faith through a lifestyle of humility, prayer, resistance, submission and vigilance. The "beatitudes" are not just an ideal, they also teach us how to put on the whole armor of God. We all, that is humanity, has been under attack from the beginning. Since birth whether we are aware of it or not the battle for our soul rages on. This is a war not just a focused operation. We are not paranoid but remain vigilant in our wariness and daily walk. We practice reverse "data poisoning" of the algorithms tracking us as often as possible. Subscription only platforms like Facebook, X and others are no longer linked to the work we perform here. These venues have been exempted from our participation. What Satan did in the book of Job after the fall of lucifer spiritually, is now being copied and mimicked naturally through algorithms, cookies, email, locational apps and the smart technical devices we use every day. Anyone who has read through the previous post entitled "enemy of the state," should recognize this. What we recognize is the frailty of our humanity. As a result, we are commanded to confess our faults and actively admit to misinterpretations and mistakes. Nothing here is written in stone, but our foundation is laid upon a solid rock. There are and will continue to be edits and entries added to most posts after they are published. Just look back through them from time to time. It may be that something noticed after the fact, was missed on the initial rendering. It might also be that it was added at a later date to supplement the facts. Controversial issues, names, scandals and topics will usually be referred to but not directly or specifically identified. Read between the lines and click the links! We are not afraid, we are cautious! The information is here. Whosoever hath an ear to hear let him hear. Keep in mind that Jesus explained many things through simple stories that illustrated moral and spiritual lessons. These stories were called parables. Even his own disciples asked him why he spoke in parables. Although most of what we present is plain, there are spiritual nuggets of wisdom embedded within the messages. Dig them out! All comments are welcomed. 

 TALK TO TEXT & WRITING IS NOT PRIVATE OR PROTECTED, FREE SPEECH IS STILL FREE

YESTERDAY'S NORMAL

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. THIS IS AN IMMUTABLE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE WHICH MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH THINGS CHANGE, THE UNDERLYING CAUSES AND ENERGIES BEHIND THEM REMAIN THE SAME. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT HUMAN NATURE AND THE HISTORY OF ITS EXPRESSION WILL REPEAT ITSSELF IN SOME FORM REGARDLESS OF HOW DIFFERENT IT MAY APPEAR. WHAT WE REGARD AS "NEW" NEWS IS USUALLY A VARIATION OR NEW VERSION OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. TODAY, THE OBVIOUS BUT HIDDEN CONTRASTS IN MANY POLICIES AND PRACTICES ARE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CONCERNS AND CONFLICTS WE CURRENTLY FACE. FOR EXAMPLE, A FRACTIONAL RESERVE LIMIT OF 0% IS A FIASCO. IN JUST THREE DECADES IT HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 12% TO 10% TO ZERO. THE BANKS DO NOT HAVE OUR MONEY, IT'S ALL BEING LENT OUT! THE "NET INTEREST INCOME" THAT BANKS MAKE ON THE AMOUNT OF PROFIT THEY GENERATE FROM LOANS AS OPPOSED TO THE PITTANCE THE PAY TO DEPOSITERS IS BEING THREATENED BY THE "GENIUS ACT." IN 2020,THE FEDERAL RESERVE REDUCED THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE LIMIT RATIO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO NOTHING IN AN EFFORT TO SUPPORT THE "RISKY" FRACTIONAL LENDING DURING THE PANDEMIC. THIS EFFECETIVELY ELIMINATED THE NEED TO KEEP LITTLE TO ANY MANDATORY RESERVES (CASH ON HAND). THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN A LITTLE LIQUIDITY (MONEY IN THE BANK) TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IS GONE. IF A BANKS CREDIT IS GOOD WHY ISN'T OURS? IS MAKING PROFIT BY SHUFFLING BORROWED MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR FEES ETHICAL? IS THIS SHELL GAME DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH BANK FAILURES AND BANKING SYSTEM RISKS? WHY AFTER THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS WAS SHADOW BANKING AND PRIVATE EQUITY ALLOWED TO FILL THE VOID OF MAKING RISKY LOANS WITHOUT REGULATION? IS IT TRUE THAT THERE'S NEVER JUST ONE COCKROACH? THE SADDEST THING OF ALL IS NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH MONEY, IT'S WHAT WE FAIL TO DO WITH IT. CORRUPTION AT THE "DISTRIBUTION LEVEL" OF MANY SOCIAL PROGRAMS FROM FOOD TO HEALTH SERVICES IN THIS COUNTRY IS OUT OF CONTROL. SOME ARE MAKING MORE PROFIT AS THE MIDDLEMEN RATHER THAN DELIVERING GOODS AND SERVICES TO THE UNDERPRIVILDGED INTENDED RECIPIENTS. AND HOW DOES TERMINATING THESE PROGRAMS COMPLETELY SOLVE THAT PROBLEM? DOESN'T IT MAKE THE CONDITIONS IT WAS MEANT TO ALLEVIATE WORSE? WHY DO WE SEE SO MUCH MORE ENFORCEMENT EMPHASIS ON SOCIAL SERVICES AND SO LITTLE SCRUTINY ON FINANCIAL SERVICES? IS IT BETTER TO CUT THEM OR TO CLEAN THEM?BOTH CORRUPTION AND RUST ARE IMPARTIAL. WHATEVER THEY TOUCH IS WHERE THEY WILL SPREAD TO. FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, THERE IS A CULTURE TO "GAME THE SYSTEM." IT EXISTS AT ALL LEVELS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, INTO CONGRESS & DOWN TO THE POOR HOUSE! WE LIVE IN A DAY OF ADVANCED COMPUTERIZED TECHNOLOGIES. THEY ALL SEEM TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO MANAGE OUR MONETARY EXCHANGES AND DRIVERS LICENSES. SHOULDN'T THEY BE GOOD ENOUGH TO KEEP TABS ON OUR REGISTRATION FOR CASTING A VOTE? IDENTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION SEEM TO WORK IN AIRPORTS WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION. WHY NOT IN GOVERNMENT, MEDICADE, MEDICARE AND VOTING? CORRURTION AND FRAUD CAN BE DETECTED AND CAUGHT USING THE SAME TYPE OF ALGORITHMNS THAT POWER THE ADVERTISEMENTS ENTICING "CONSUMERS" TO BUY. ALL OF THE WATERWAYS FROM THE OCEANS, TO THE RIVERS, THE LAKES AND THE "SWAMPS" NEED TO BE CLEANED OUT! "SWAMPS" COME AS A RESULT OF IRRIGATION FROM LARGER BODIES OF WATER. "SWAMPS" ARE FORMED FROM OTHER SOURCES! THE LOW-LYING POORLY DRAINED AREAS WHERE LIQUID FROM GROUNDWATER, RIVERS AND RAIN ACCUMULATE CREATE "SWAMPS." THE REALITY IS THAT CLEANING OUT "SWAMPS" ARE USELESS WITHOUT CLEANING UP THEIR CAUSE! "Corruption severely hinders financial market development by increasing uncertainty, reducing transparency, and weakening the rule of law." LET'S ASK A.I. TO DETECT AND TRACK ALL INSTANCES OF GOVERNMENT ABUSE, CORRUPTION AND FRAUD, THEN SEE WHO VOTES FOR THAT!

TODAY'S NEW NORMAL

FREELY GIVING THE GIFT 

Some of our followers and patrons may have noticed the there are no advertisements cluttering our site. The mandate and the mission we follow simply calls for sowing seed. Impartiality must be deliberately and purposely embedded within the presentations and inferences of the information we present and what it brings. We seek "objectivity" and concentrate on phrases that solicit engagement through the questions we ask. Most advertising comes with strings attached. Everybody has an agenda. Charlie Munger once said. "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." This indicates that human behavior is driven by rewards and consequences. When we understand what drives people, we can usually predict the intentions of their actions. They invariably will align with incentives rather than slogans.  The narratives we present are based on Biblical spiritual principles. Even we may get them wrong and are subject to corrections and retractions. The penalties for making "unintended" mistakes or saying, "I don't know," have suppressed honesty. Always having an answer or an opinion is not a necessary attribute. Opinions are "formed" from information. Creating, forming or making anything of value takes time! Reaching a conclusion or expressing an opinion based on inaccurate or partial information is folly! Why are we subconsciously in such a rush? Listen to the language we use. Words carry spirit inside of their meanings. We say "I'll be with you in a second, just a second  and wait a second" routinely. Many of us always seem to be in a hurry. The "spirit of anxiety" is permeating all of society. The zeitgeist (spirit of the day) has incorporated getting ahead by being first at almost all costs. The freedom to express TRUTH must not be compromised by monetary considerations or outside influences. The standards and criteria we abide by are not our own! We live in an era that attempts to capitalize and monetize everything possible. Allowing this blog to be influenced by financial considerations opens the door for a "return to chains." Today's membership and subscription models have been normalized. Most everywhere we go or shop employs CRM strategies. This gospel is designed to be believed and received with no strings attached. We seek and speak TRUTH to the best we can. Although we constantly emphasize the need to be vigilant against cognitive and confirmation biases, it is not possible to be totally objective. Our research stretches across business, cultural, economic, ethnic, political, religious and scientific influences. Real information is not free unless it is gossip! TRUTH always comes with a price tag that must be eventually paid. It may be postponed or discredited by reputation. It may be buried and obscured over time. But TRUTH always resurrects and revives itself in one form or another; sometimes it's paid for in blood! There is no such thing as "free," except in respect to freely giving or receiving. Advertising is filled with enticing offers of free things as bait to hook unsuspecting fish to bite. What we offer is freely available, but it will cost us to keep it. The Principles, Applications and Practices (P.A.P.'s) we share are designed to aid and enlighten our readers and ourselves. What's good for the goose is good for the gander! This is the fair and practical rule when it comes to applying judgement and justice. However, their are exceptions when it comes to gender and sexuality. In our posts enlightenment is the bait, TRUTH is the hook and the Bible is the standard. Please take time to read and ponder what we present. The concepts we examine all have spiritual implications. Our goal is to divulge and impart spiritual P.A.P.'s. There is an ever-present evangelical aspect to what we do. Although we are not affiliated with any specific organization, we recognize that there are ministries, organizations and people worthy of mention and support. These posts are about getting in "Good Trouble." Having been a disgrace in the past has a way of compelling one to make amends later on. Yes, the carefulness and vengeance we exercise comes from being unwittingly abused by spirits that we allowed to infiltrate our life and relationships. Overall, we seek to address the fact that mankind's failure to acknowledge and nurture the spiritual aspect of our existence causes us to behave and perform in ways that are existentially detrimental.

WITHOUT SPEAKING TRUTH THE LOUDEST SOUND WE'LL EVER HEAR WILL BE SILENCE

KNOWING OUR AUDIENCE

We all must be and must remain keenly aware of the spirit in which we embrace, follow and think to be correct. In every classroom, conference, forum, meeting or symposium there are generally four kinds or types of attendees within the audience. They are namely the "PRISONER," the "VACTIONER," the "PROFESSOR" and the "STUDENT." Personally, we have found ourselves to be guilty of adorning one, if not all of these personalities and spiritual attributes, at one time or another. The "PRISONER" can be categorized as someone compelled in some way to commit some of their time, reluctantly, to something they would never participate in of their own volition. They may be keeping a promise or fulfilling an obligation or court order. The "VACATIONER" is usually someone casually involved, possibly with nothing better to do. This person may have some interest but is not invested at a real level of concern. The "PROFESSOR" generally knows everything about the subject matter and is more of an observer that judges the accuracy and quality of the presentation. The "STUDENT" who is seeking guidance and looking for information purposely comes to learn and differs from the other participants. Knowing that these characters and the spirit in which they are participating, are in attendance, allows us the opportunity to reach everyone impartially. Sowing seeds is the primary job at hand. Cultivating before, planting, watering and weeding after the fact are other aspects of growing. Knowledge is a funny thing. Exposure to truth has a way of taking us out of our comfort zone. The information contained in most of our posts dwell within the disquieting zone. The saying that "ignorance is bliss" is simply ignorant. Ignorance is not BLISS, it is choosing BLINDNESS! We have discovered that people should know and could know but don't know because it FEELS better to them not to know. The spirit in which many of these posts are written challenge authority, question traditions and expose liars and lies. Many times, we warn followers, patrons and readers that what we reveal, if pondered and applied will alter their lives. Aside from a brain injury, we cannot unknow what we are exposed to, hear or learn, even if we deny it. Behind each and every natural phenomenon there is a spiritual force and source in operation. From rocks to riches and thoughts to things, spirit exists but most fail to acknowledge it. "Seek and ye shall find."

CHANGING THE NARRATIVE & MOVING THE GOAL POSTS ALLOW ACTORS TO IMPROVISE

LABELS NAMES & TITLES

Words carry spirit! Defining or describing anything is the first step in deciphering or understanding it. The difference between a definition and a description is primarily in its purpose. A definition by default provides a clear and concise explanation or meaning of something. Definitions are intended to be an actual, factual, precise and rigid declaration of function and being. Descriptions on the other hand allow perspective and can offer details based on appearance, characteristics, features, properties or qualities that may or not be a part of its definition. Describing something may or may not be applicable to its appearance or behavior at certain times but at other times it can be dead on! Defining something is typically used within a more technical or academic context, while describing something is used more often in a literary or narrative aspect. In summary, defining is more about meaning, while describing is mostly about detail. The distinctions may seem minor, but they are important. Today, partisanship is being portrayed as being against patriotism. When the "voice of disagreement" is disrespected, suppressed and/or characterized as discord and insurrection; expression is limited, opinions are outlawed, and conformity becomes mandatory. We live in a time where deflections, distractions and diversions are being used to consistently diminish the importance of various issues by shifting our attention to "bigger fish to fry." This tactic is used to shift our attention. This is how we begin focusing on and prioritizing things that appear to be more significant than the current issues at hand. The idiom "Bigger Fish to Fry," conveys the thought that a particular matter is trivial compared to other responsibilities or concerns. The only "stupid questions" are the ones we fail to ask! This all happens right under our noses and is being used to brainwash us through gaslighting, grooming and manipulation. The descriptions and the nomenclature (name tags) that are being used to categorize and designate what's really going on is deceptive. Wars and military conflicts easily trump sexual misbehavior and obscene actions by billionaires who conduct themselves as predators. There is little mention of those who have died in ICE custody. Are we all being conditioned through clever speech from broadcasters, business representatives, clever commentators and politicians? Are we just hearing or are we listening to the adjectives that are being used to define and describe current adversaries and events. LISTENING IS HEARING WITH INTENT! Let's just make it plain. regardless of the reason behind it ; it is what it is! An assassination is an assassination, a coup is a coup, kidnapping is kidnapping, Killing is killing, murder is murder, overthrows are overthrows and all of these things constitute aggressions that characterize war as war. Eliminating, eradicating, removing or "taking them out" may have a more palatable sound to it but it constitutes the same actions. This is what's called colorful language. Colorful language is a term used to describe communication that is expressive, vivid, and sometimes offensive or profane. The use of the term "colorful language" in this context is euphemistic. A euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable inoffensive word or expression used in the place of one that is harsh, indelicate, or otherwise unpleasant or taboo. A euphemism operates as a more tolerant or humorous way of employing language that might otherwise be called obscene, offensive or vulgar. Euphemisms are composed of attention-grabbing, colorful and striking language designed to make a point whether truthful or not. There is nothing wrong with being tactful as long as it does not obscure TRUTH. There is an art to the dialogue of falsehoods, speaking lies and manipulating perception to bring deception. Many of our leaders and politicians have mastered this evil craft.

DEFLECTIONS, DISTRACTIONS & DIVERSIONS ARE WHAT'S USED TO BLURR THE LINES

CALLED & CATEGORIZED AS A CONSUMER

The expression or phrase known as "The circle of life," has a communal aspect to it. Whether as a predator or prey, everyone participates in a way that gives and takes. Why are we called consumers? What is a consumer? Is this description a compliment or a curse? A consumer by definition is "a person who purchases goods and services for personal use or a person or thing that eats or uses something." Such terminology should not define us unless we are simply creatures that take without giving anything back in return. Yes, in many ways we must admit that we resemble that description, but as a rule, we resent being called that. Names, titles and words have a way of framing us through their narrow definitions. We are certainly more than any one description. We should not allow ourselves to be defined by our past as long as we've grown and matured into the present. If we only see ourselves as consumers, the planet and the bubble we all share is in trouble. Farmers know how to plant and harvest. They even know to rotate crops to replenish the nutrients in the soil. Are we just harvesting electricity, energy, food, oil and whatever we want without giving anything back? God forbid! Try placing that tag on big business, billionaires and the so called elites of our society. It is important to understand that there is actually no shortage of the resources needed to sustain everyone on the planet. We have the resources to eradicate hunger and solve multiple social problems with just a fraction of the accumulated wealth controlled by a small minority of individuals hoarding it. The problem is one of distribution. For the "circle of life" to operate properly the sharing of resources must "circulate" through the circle. Economy is a word that is often minimized and simplified into a menial and narrow context. Economy deals with the system of production, distribution and consumption of everything from air to clothes, to food, to shelter, to sunlight, to water and the energy required to procure the existence and survival of the planet. Balance is the key factor to a properly functioning and working economy. Once the balance is broken an inevitable new equilibrium must replace it. What we are experiencing today is an accelerated example of what has occurred before. Although we think that we are chasing happiness through celebrity, control, power and success, we are simply chasing our own shadows. As soon as we catch our shadows the sun sets and it disappears until the next day when we chase it again. Unfortunately, too many of us are mimicking this example of just seeking our own individual piece of the pie.

SLOW & SILENT EFFECTS UPON THE ECONOMY

​Today, the policy proliferated through the zeitgeist or "spirit of the day" is selfishness! Money, the conduit through which power is accumulated, is manipulating the balance of our economy. The study of this phenomenon is called economics. This is the branch of knowledge that describes and defines the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. It is important to remember that regular people and the everyday ordinary livelihood of economies within larger economies are the first to suffer. Every major decision made by businesses and government has an effect upon economic policy. Policy is another way of defining the way things are done. Whenever policy trumps practicality and TRUTH through contradicting coercive actions evil is at work. Things that seem to be contradictory are either misunderstood or LIES. Economic policies can be described as business & government actions that manipulate fiscal, monetary and regulatory effects. Governments are generally seen as the culprits behind most financial economic crisis's but banking and big business are equally culpable. This is what we call "THE TRIAD" that controls most monetary exchange and commodity exchange worldwide. There are fiscal policies (spending & taxes), monetary policies (interest rates & market operations) and regulatory policies (laws and /or tools) used as leverage and license. Every policy affects everything else at some level. There is always a ripple effect. Most ripples are easily absorbed along with the wake of passing ships, but sometimes they combine to form tidal waves. A.I. is an incoming tide. The currents created by algorithms and automated technologies combined with other motions in the ocean form an uncertain future. It's naive to believe that any new technology is created without efficiency in mind. The wheel minimized the labor of walking, The light bulb minimized the effects of darkness. The automobile minimized the need for animals as transportation. The telephone minimized the need for couriers to deliver messages. Bombs, drones and missiles minimize the need for hand to hand combat. Does making life easier actually make it better? When "Amazon" lays off thousands of factory workers while adding more delivery workers this distribution of productivity is designed simply to improve their bottom line. Workers are generally the cannon fodder, the pawns and the victims of the policies of "THE TRIAD." Likewise when policies like economic sanctions, denial of funding, electrical grid disruptions, food insecurity, fuel shortages, tariffs and other disruptions are used as weapons of warfare, it is the average worker that's affected the most. Just how are military targets defined and how do we prosecute war crimes? If survival is considered as victory, does that mean that only death constitutes defeat? Economies are always the victims of policies! There are a few protections built into the legal framework of this country that constitutes the rule of law. The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, guarantees that no person can be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. The Fifth Amendment prohibits the government from taking private property for public use without providing just compensation. The Fifth Amendment requires a grand jury indictment in light of capital or infamous crimes to protecting against arbitrary prosecution. The Fifth Amendment prevents a person from being tried twice for the same crime. The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being compelled to witness against themselves; known as the Miranda rights. The Fifth Amendment was designed to ensure fair treatment in both criminal and civil legal processes and protects individuals from the unfair use of government power. The Fifth Amendment was specifically designed, not to hide the TRUTH, but to protect smaller economies from larger ones. Why do we see it being used so often within most of the larger more affluent "economies" like the Epstein hearings and corporate corruption probes? The everyday ordinary people that need it the most appear to use it the least! There's an app at the Google play store called "TapTheFifth," those who are most vulnerable should download it on their phones. Remember, the TRUTH is candid, mostly transparent and rather difficult to forget. We can claim to NOT remember things, but in reality all things coincide. Most of the time it is "more than just a "coincidence!" The majority of people reverse the meaning of that word. Keep in mind that there are no such things as contradictions, just TRUTH and LIES! We are NOT designed to forget, yet we have the capacity to forgive.

CREATING A CRISIS CAN PROMOTE A CLIMATE, CAUSE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
​FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE

CALLING A SPADE A SPADE

We do not fear controversy! We do not take sides. We call it as we see it and deliver our critique! The idiom “to call a spade a spade” dates back nearly 500 years and initially meant “to speak frankly.” Historians trace the phrase’s roots to the Greek expression “to call a fig a fig and a trough a trough,” found in the works of ancient Greek writers like Aristophanes and Menander. This expression was used to denote straightforwardness and honesty, though the exact evolution into the modern idiom remains unclear. Can we legitimately criticize or condemn the actions of foreign governments and justify military operations against them for killing or mistreating protestors, while guilty of the same crimes at home? Double standards and mixed messages do not align with calling a spade a spade! One of the earliest known uses of a similar expression comes from the Latin phrase “ferula est ferula,” which translates to “a spade is a spade.” Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare, is believed to have popularized the phrase, often using it to address themes of honesty and directness. Another theory involves the confusion between “spades” and “shovels,” both commonly used tools. Some historical contexts interchanged “spades” with “shovels.” However, in modern times, the idiom has faced controversy due to the racial connotations associated with the word “spade.” Why has the majority of aerial bombing in the twentieth century been executed against yellow, black and brown people? The term “spade” has historically been used as a racial slur against African Americans. From its ancient Greek origins and Latin connections to its medieval and renaissance usage, the idiom has evolved to embody the importance of straightforwardness. However, with terms like "Yellow Peril" and others, its modern interpretation must also account for the potential racial connotations associated with the term “spade.” The idiom remains a testament to the enduring value of honest and direct communication, yet its sensitivity in contemporary contexts requires thoughtful consideration. We will continue to call a spade a spade. The post entitled "Layers of Lies, Lying, Liars, Damn Lies and Statistics, posted on election day of 2024 sums up much of what we desire to express here. This link is the direct connection. Read it or click on its audio summary. The following video in this post also highlights how lies grow. Two of the most powerful spirits influencing us are lying spirits and the spirit of pride; both were on full display in the Garden of Eden. We now live and operate in a world of systemic deceit. We tend to believe the things that we do, based on how it appeals to what we want to believe. The vast number of lies consistently conveyed at the advertising, financial, governmental, legal, medical, military and political level is overwhelming. A.I. and deep fakes are becoming as realistic and convincing as the charismatic leaders and conspirators that influence news. Be not deceived, spirit is transmissible, transferrable and viral. Any invention made by man will contain some of the characteristics of its inventor. Birds of a feather flock together and association breeds assimilation. It is far easier to be a "right fighter" than a truth teller.  Don't believe the hype! 

YESTERDAY'S TRUTHS REMAINS TRUE TODAY

A BEE DOES NOT WASTE TIME CONVINCING A FLY THAT HONEY IS SWEETER THAN SHIT!

FOOLING WITH THE FOOL

"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." This is an age old proverb. Deception is at the foundation of evil. Usually, being deceived for the first time is primarily due to the deceiver's guile. However, falling for the same trick again becomes the responsibility of the victim's gullibility. "Everybody plays the fool sometimes." This is a a reminder that everyone, regardless of intelligence or experience, will at some time or another play or get played by foolishness. It reminds us that we are prone to letting emotions override logic, allowing ourselves to be manipulated. As a result this statement also normalizes human error because it's possible that even the deceiver may be being deceived! "Belief" is the foundation of reality. Yet, it has been said that "a promise is a comfort to a fool." Only gullible, manipulative or naive people "repeatedly" fall for and/or rely on empty words and promises in spite of patterns of partially fulfilled or unfulfilled actions. Words carry spirit as well as bonds. The Bible speaks explicitly regarding interactions with fools, there are no exceptions to this one law, principle or rule. Fooling with the fool is folly. The use of the word "fool" is a pronouncement. This small word carries such a large indictment that it is akin to cursing someone using profanity. To call someone a fool must be distinguished from describing or defining foolish thoughts or behaviors. This is a word of judgement and must be carefully considered in its use. Jesus related to the seriousness of articulating this word by letting us know that we risk hell fire in calling anyone such a thing. Do not get this wrong! There are fools everywhere, we live in a world of foolishness. The only definitive standard for a fool is the one given in the Bible. The Bible explains that the "fool" has said in his heart there is no God! This implies that the way we apply the word may be shortsighted. This strongly suggests that some of the biggest fools are doctors, physicists, politicians and scientists. Some of these people behave like a surgeons who wakes up each morning thinking and believing that they are able to correct God's mistakes.  Anyone believing in a "Big Bang Theory," or such like, tops the list. Note that a fool must say in his heart, not necessarily with his mouth that there is no God. Only God can see into the heart and try the reins of men. We must go on to say that dealing with the fools amongst us is an ongoing battle. The Bible says to answer the fool lest he be wise in his own conceits. This admonition seemingly is in contradiction to the preceding passage telling us to save our energy by not rebuking the fool and being like as he is. He already thinks himself to be wise through his own foolish conceit. Nevertheless, we have formulated the rule of the fool," in a question and answer followed by a story. They both involve driving and the law. The question is, if we approach an intersection and we have a green light and meanwhile observe a fool coming who has a red light, who has the right of way? Think about this carefully before answering. *@#$%*&+!! Here is the answer. Although legally we have a green light, and the fool has a red light, ethically, the fool in his reality has the right of way. Many will not see the wisdom in this answer. This is the "Fool Rule." The fool always has the right of way, steer clear of him and it! If that is not enough of an explanation, listen to the story of Johnathan Daye.

THIS IS THE STORY
OF JOHNATHAN DAYE
HE DIED TO MAINTAIN
​HIS RIGHT OF WAY.

---

OLE JOHN HAD A GREEN
AND THE FOOL HAD A RED
JOHN KNEW HE WAS RIGHT
​SO, HE WENT STRAIGHT AHEAD.

JOHN WAS RIGHT OH, SO RIGHT
AS HE SPED RIGHT ALONG
BUT THAT DAY JOHNATHAN DIED
​JUST AS IF HE WERE WRONG!

CRITICAL THINKING LEARNING HOW TO LISTEN

Learning should be regarded as a lifelong experience. It is a process of continuous accumulation. By acquiring, processing, and retaining knowledge, skills, and standards of behavior we can apply it. Learning transforms information into long-term, lasting attitudes of behavior by subjecting and training our desires senses and urges to conform to beliefs. Through learning we gain understanding from engagement, practice, and feedback. There are multiple ways to learn. Our environment, genetics and the lessons taught to us are the primary catalyst. Reading is fundamental. At least that's what they used to say. Today, the tactile and visual art of this discipline is diminishing rapidly. TRUTH can be deciphered from written words in ways that hearing and seeing lack. The act of reading initiates a process that begins an active, multi-stage cognitive endeavor. It can be distinguished and divided into three stages of a before, during, and after. This is an activity similar to consuming food. From having an appetite to eating and finally digesting, reading nourishes the brain in the same way that food nourishes the body. Reading requires using vision or touch to decode symbols, build vocabulary, and comprehend meaning. It incorporates the use of critical thinking to connect prior knowledge, analyze text structure, and summarize information. Hearing and seeing share similar qualities as reading but can shortcut the thinking process. Hearing and seeing both utilize a two dimensional aspect to divulging truth. In summary, hearing operates involuntarily. However, as informative as it might be, it is incomplete without listening. Observing and seeing usually comes naturally and with minimal effort, but correctly interpreting what we view puts it in context and creates perspective. In a nutshell, listening is a learned skill and Observation requires education to properly understand it.

THOSE THAT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE NARRATIVES TEND TO IGNOR THE FUNDAMENTALS

OBJECTIVE vs. PERSPECTIVE

The lenses that we see life through, from time to time need to be adjusted. A new prescription may be in order. Many of the current trends being promoted in this country today are rooted in selfishness. Most people are not aware or fail to understand the underlying fundamentals of how our economy and government work. The biggest problem in politics today is not party affiliation or voter registration it is pointing fingers and making accusations. Politicians are taking advantage of societal biases and using them to promote their sides agenda. Bright light can be both blinding and revealing. "Pots and "kettles" know this. The "pot" is constantly calling the "kettle" black. This idiom describes a level of hypocrisy based on someone criticizing another for a fault they themselves possess. The "pot" people ignore the fact that both the "kettle" and the "pot" are equally guilty of black bottoms. They both play in the same fire that darkens their understanding of TRUTH. Neither truly calls every spade a spade. "Pots" engage in a tit for tat policy that consistently sheds light on the "kettles" evil and wrong doings. "Pots" are blinded by the very light they shine on the "kettle." Seeing their own dirty or evil deeds while exposing the activities of the "kettle" is difficult at best. In the meantime, the just as guilty "kettles" also hurls the same type of accusations at the "pot." Neither can see their own darkness while blinded by the brightness of the light they shine on others. People see the hypocrisy but select loyalty over TRUTH. This is the spirit of the day. There is a lack of credibility across party lines that compels people to lower their standards through choosing the less of two evils rather than no evil at all. This in turn forces the proletariat, to exist in a state of cognitive dissonance. It allows us to ignore our conscience and lower our standards. When it comes to the average person, It is exhausting to keep up with the overwhelming number of competing controversies presented to us through opposing narratives. 

GOVERNMENTS AND POLITICIANS NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE

AI, MINERALS, MONEY, SPACE, WAR & THE RACE 

It is important to know that the first casualty of war is TRUTH. Today, more and more, it appears that "a promise is a comfort to a fool." The zeitgeist (spirit of the day) is powered by a predominately sensually based, greed and power driven blasphemous ungodly energy. Behind the scenes, money, the root of all evil, is motivating much of the chaos. Monetary liquidity (the availability) and monetary velocity (the speed at which it exchanges hands) is reaching the stage where our credit driven systems can no longer absorb the fallacy we've operated on for so long. Something has to give when a world wide debt of over 330 trillion continues growing and most everybody owes more than what they can pay off. Although economics is about more than just balanced budgets, the "zero sum game theory" strongly suggests that there is no monetary shortages just distributional differences. Investors and traders who still believe in and follow traditional market analysis, charting, order flows and trends are at a disadvantage due to new techniques such as "high frequency trading." Decades ago human beings executed every trade. Today more than half of the trading done in markets are performed by computerized programs. Mathematicians and computer programmers lurk behind the scenes at many trading desks. The rules of the game have drastically changed and most retail investors are unaware of it. Feeding the emerging A.I. animal requires natural resources for its nutrients. The race and the war to procure them is coming at the expense of the natural environment. This is partially why there is a worldwide race to be the first to develop, deploy and dominate through it. To maintain superiority and have it work on our behalf, we must provide it with the electrical power and and rare earth minerals needed for its infrastructure. Historically businesses and governments have regarded natural resources like air, minerals, oil, water and other things as unlimited exploitable substances. They appear to be plentiful enough and seem as if they cannot be exhausted or run out. The "​Initial Capitalization" of natural resources like oil water and wood are recorded at the cost required to acquire them. Most of us fail to take into account restoration costs. Future costs to restore land after extraction may not be accurately included in the total capitalized cost of utilizing these resources. The true price we must pay may not be realized till after we become inextricably dependent upon it after it is widely deployed. Robots like drones will not be the real problem. It will be the algorithms, artificial intelligence and programming operating them. Even "Anthropic" recognizes this and desires to limit A.I.'s abilities at the deployment level. A.I. should probably be regarded as mans attempt to create life and mimic God. Unfortunately, the creative process comes with the caveat of allowing "free will" to be exercised. Man thinks that programming can direct and limit A.I. to do his bidding even militarily. Knowing that God made men as "free moral agents" and allowed us "free will" should serve as a cautionary tale. If mans freedom of choice was so easily corrupted by a serpent, what makes us believe that A.I.'s autonomous programming cannot be corrupted by the the stroke of a keyboard and the movement of a computer mouse? Do the risks outweigh the benefits? In a competitive market are guardrails necessary if coming in second is not an option? Are we really prepared to deal with the newest invention or innovation like we did with cigarettes and opioids? Autonomy is mans version of computerized "free will." Thoughts and feelings are human characteristics. Is giving this ability to machines a good idea in light of the way we resolve conflicts through war and killing one another? Who will make these decisions? How will we regulate it? Science and spirit are merging but no one really understands how outside of theories.​

WHEN RHETORIC MERGES WITH REALITY
​ IT IS NO LONGER TALK OR THEATRE IT IS ACTION

SCIENTIFIC REALITIES

It ought to be obvious to us all that humanity over time has learned to reverse engineer and discover how many things within our universe operates. The sheer number of discoveries, inventions, medicines and problem-solving innovations have convinced many of us to believe the big lie. Gravity is not considered to be matter, yet all of matter is subject to it. The invisible things that science cannot or up to now has not deciphered are explained away through theories. A theory is "a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained." This seemingly contradictory explanation of scientific foundations must be kept in perspective. A theory, like a strong feeling, intuition or suspicion, may have some validity but lacks the evidence of proof. This is similar to the different standards in civil and criminal judgements. A criminal conviction uses the criteria of beyond a reasonable doubt while a civil conviction simply requires a preponderance of evidence. Theories, thesis, suppositions, speculations, postulations, premises and presumptions are all big words of assumption. The Big Bang (origin of the universe), Evolution (life's diversity), General Relativity (gravity and spacetime), and Plate Tectonics (geological movement) are all theories. These theories, alongside quantum mechanics, the cell theory, and germ theory, hold high predictive power. Basically, theories hold merit but have no real proof. Even the way electricity flows and operates is called electrical theory. No one really knows how it works it just does! It involves understanding invisible, complex physical behaviors like electron flow, voltage, and electromagnetic fields from an intangible powerful yet unseen universal force! Similar to faith in God's power, we can harness it, transfer it and use it but we can't really explain it! Theories can be derived from valid principles that other TRUTHS have been built upon, but are not absolute! Many "so-called" medical miracles and cures originated from theoretical discoveries that were later proven to be true. In many cases we cannot thoroughly explain why they work, but we know that they do. In such cases we form theories to explain that also. Scientific realities are being refined everyday. Many of the methods being used to "perfect" these technologies are being and have been deployed in our everyday devices. Wi-Fi routers, gaming consoles, virtual reality headsets and everyday cellphone use are providing feedback that advances technical capabilities. From GPS to Wi-Fi, the apps we utilize everyday are providing information not only about ourselves but also the physical environments we occupy. Most of us know something about GPS but few of us are aware of a technology called VPS. VPS is the "Visual Positioning System" that is the foundational technology used by drones, robots and augmented reality devices. We tend to forget that not so long ago as google mapped the entire planet we could observe some of their vehicles driving throughout neighborhoods photographing locations that enabled us to have 3d views using google maps. Tesla on the other hand employed the same technique with the millions of cars and trucks sold which continually recorded their whereabouts and uploaded the information to their servers. Data is constantly being collected, updated, saved and sold for purposes beyond our knowledge. Becoming an enemy of the state is simple. Just become significant enough to threaten the powers that be and anyone can be disappeared. Inquire into and try researching some of the leads we present here. Some may be surprised but all should be informed. Although the Bible alerts us to the fact that there will be those who are inventors of evil things, the picture is not all bad. In many cases modern technologies are being searched out and discovered for the good of mankind in the medical industry. We should know that all cures are contained within the created universe and have been baked in from the trees within The Garden of Eden to the ones in Revelation. There are cures and remedies placed in the earth for us to utilize. Just as the curses have been extracted from the "pandora's box" of disobedience, so is the panacea to life through obedience to the standards, design, intent and purpose (D.I.P.) of mans creation. GOD IS FAITHFUL, even if we are not! 

FEELINGS,TECHNOLOGY OR SPIRITUALITY 

Although our digital footprint may be a liability our spiritual footprint can become our lifeline! Life seems to be filled with contradictions but it is not. Most of the things that appear to be seemingly contradictory are examined from the wrong realm of existence. The spiritual, psychological and physical realms are intricately interconnected. Our failure to see reality from a truly wholistic perspective along with our limited abilities, arrogance and pride makes us a liability to our own longevity. The divine standard has been cast aside for the sensual, tangible and visible realities of the physical world we interact through. Our spiritual footprint is eternal and infinitely attached to the energy, power and standard of our creator whether we believe it, see it or understand it. The wars we fight among ourselves are simply a reflection of the ongoing battle for our individual souls. The way we live our lives in this world is how we eternal our souls in the next world!

PRACTICE PRAYER!

Prayer is an interesting subject. It appears that it is an easy innate practice everyone has the ability to do but somehow its also easy to do it wrong. Jesus disciples must have recognized that there was a difference in the way and the effect of Jesus' prayer as opposed to the way the religious leaders of the day prayed and their own. This is probably why they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. There are concepts, principles and rules that can make our prayers more effective.
