Historically, communication required a physical presence, a visible sign, a special instrument or a connection across some type of medium. The electrical telegraph was the first form of wired communication, and it required direct wiring to make its connections. The main vulnerability or weakness in a wired connection is that it can be easily sabotaged by cutting the wire. Wireless signals had been in use prior to running cable but offered other challenges. Courier pigeons, drums, horns, kites, reflecting light and smoke signals were among the earliest ways of communicating across distances. The discovery and use of radio waves changed history forever. The proliferation of R.F. (radio frequencies) today is revolutionary. Like spirit, radio frequencies are being broadcast everywhere. The "power of the air" is amazing. Spirit is our wireless connection to GOD. It's called prayer. Unlike R.F., it operates and works without having to worry about cancers, diseases or tumors from radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure. This "age old" connection disrupted in the garden through sin was compromised but never completely cut. Rarely will we put our brain or ear against or up to our cell phone. We utilize the speaker phone feature almost exclusively. From Wi-Fi to Bluetooth, radio waves at different strengths and frequencies penetrate through buildings and find their ways around obstacles. Even light signals, like the infrared radiation used in television remotes are all a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some spirits can delay or hinder prayer, but the connection can never be totally destroyed. Praying in the Spirit is an asset for those who know how to allow God to use them to do it. We won't delve into that at this time but here are some links to scriptures. (1) "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit." (2) "I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also." (3) "Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." Yes, here's evidence that wireless communication has existed since the beginning of time! Why is prayer these days the last resort? Has our trust in doctors, drugs, needles, pills, potions and technology replaced our faith in God? Isn't it possible that the cures we need for our bodies, minds and souls are available just outside of mainstream science? Yes, as people we are imperfect and so is the faith we practice. However, God does not require such a high degree of understanding of "his" ways to apply them. We simply must believe that GOD will reveal a way to apply and exercise what little faith we have. When we discover what has been waiting for us, it's then we'll realize that it's not so difficult. Falling short is not failure with God. Consider Abraham's mistake in having his first son. Even Sarah doubted God. Yet even after their initial mistake, God indulged their lack of trust in him and came through anyway. God worked through the natural process "he" ordained. Abraham's technique (technology) worked to some extent. A child was born but it was not the child of promise. God uses us although we are imperfect people. From Baalam, to King Ahab, to the apostle Peter who denied he knew Jesus. These are the ways that God works with people and things. Faith, in the smallest measure, slightly mingled with works, even chaotically can defy modern science. After all, not much is needed. With only a gain the size of a mustard seed, mountains can be moved. No lab is needed. The dosage doesn't matter. Many forms of belief mingled with real faith, whether through diet, injection, operation, pill, potion, radiation or rainfall can prove to be somewhat effective. However, the science of the day and the zeitgeist of the time have too many of us trusting in it. "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God!" 

Before mankind ever became so intellectually and technically advanced, we were so much more inclined to be apprehensive, credulous, fearful, and gullible. We naturally leaned towards psychic, superstitious and spiritual beliefs. The science of the day was based more on hearsay, intuitive logic and reasoning. It took centuries to develop the commonly used triad theory of thesis, antithesis and synthesis or any other scientific method. We must keep in mind that a belief can carry just as much conviction as a fact even if it is not true. Today, the internet has made abstract ideas along with free, open and unbridled thinking accepted and available to the multitudes. Most educated people today ​no longer believe in the old wives' tales, far-fetched stories and supernatural myths once used to interpret phenomena no one could explain. Unbridled and uninhibited thinking has both benefits and liabilities. The benefit of free speech must be balanced with appropriate expression. Even thoughts and imaginations must be subject to self-control and higher spiritual law. Thoughts have no limits other than the ones we place on them. There is a science to thought. Although thought is invisible and intangible it has both energy and substance. Unchecked or unregulated thought can manifest as evil actions. Imaginations are thoughts that can form new ideas, images or concepts outside of lawfulness, logic, natural order and rational or traditional sense. Imaginations can corrupt established standards and become vain. Evil spirits have the ability to convince us to condone fallacious thinking when it suits our lusts. Confirmation bias has a way of deceiving us into feeling that our watered-down interpretation of standards is tolerable. We fool ourselves by contextualizing, minimizing or trivializing thoughts and intentions that should be considered abhorrent and evil. Thoughts are things and have the life we give to them. Thoughts can be developed or denounced. They can be nurtured, or they can die. The lifecycle of a thought is contained within its factual truth or its embraced lie. Once a thought takes on form through speech or writing it takes on a life of its own. We characterize it! All thoughts can be acceptable and understandable or contemptible. There are spiritual standards even for thoughts. It is important to remember that thoughts are invisible living things. Today, the "spirit of anarchy" is being accepted and embraced through the kindling of anger and antagonism. People find rioting permissible through reasoning that is fatally flawed. The power of demonstrating and protesting is being corrupted by contempt. These bands of spirits operate together through opposing parties to agitate our already divided and divisive environment. Evil spirits are in operation! Thoughts are potent and powerful. All Scientific discoveries are an example and expression of applied, developed and disciplined thought processes. Science applied to traditional education has advanced our world and society in ways few could have anticipated. Much of our progress has allowed mankind to achieve many wonderful advancements for humanity. There are many other hidden and nefarious experiments and inventions being researched and developed behind closed doors that are not beneficial at all. Unfortunately, the double-edged sword of development without respect for a GOD created universe and coinciding disciplined thought has tragically left a significant piece of our innate spiritual nature behind. A clinical analysis of our situation would reveal that our spiritual growth has been stunted, and science and technology have become arrogant and reckless. Mankind has gotten besides itself! 

​Science and technology are not new. The "technology of science" always has been and will continue to be at the forefront of man's evolution. "Science" can be defined as a systematic arranged and organized body of knowledge about any subject. "Technology" can be defined as the application or implementation of those methodologies and techniques for practical purposes. Neither science nor technology are confined to physics, electronics, machines computers or tangible matter. There is a "science of spirit." It is an invisible empire of substance, the energy of life, containing the glue that holds everything together. Like gravity it has a force, like magnetism its presence has a pull, we sense and feel it like wind, and it can spread like fire in the shapeless form of flowing water. Putting all of these attributes together only barely describes "SPIRIT." Whether we acknowledge it or not, the foundation of all LIFE is a direct result of spiritual activity.  The underlying force that we manifest as the expressions of our attitudes and behaviors are spirit. Our attitude about living and the resulting feelings that manifest actions are indicative of the spirit in which we see things. FOR WE KNOW IN PART AND SPEAK OF WHAT WE KNOW IN PART. HOWEVER, AS WE GAIN A FULLER UNDERSTANDING, WE PUT AWAY THE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE WE ONCE HAD. What we call perception is derived from how we translate experiences, process awareness and regard feelings. This is what forms the beliefs we have. The positions taken from personally drawn conclusions and interpreted meanings becomes our reality. Our individual spirit, "the spirit of man," represents our own personal consciousness and awareness that connects to and is shared with a universal (God) consciousness. This is where we contribute to the mutual "mindset" used to form and shape our jointly shared societal values. There must be some general authorized and established rules or rule of law that has common acceptance by all men for there to be relative right and wrong. Even animals and savages follow some basic patterns of conduct. In the realm of spirits there are hierarchies and rules also. Spirits are "not necessarily" subject to man-made physical geographic boundaries and boarders. Spiritual wickedness seeks to exercise its dominion in high places. We' are not wrestling against flesh and blood. There are powers, principalities and rulers of darkness spiritually organized to disrupt and destroy mankind.  We are all born into an interconnected invisible realm that competes for our very souls. We are being victimized through our own ignorance. This is due to the fact that we place very little emphasis on learning and understanding how the spiritual realm operates. The atmosphere we abide in, breathe in and out, and that sustains us is mostly composed of spirit. A bird understands the dynamics of flying through air, the firmament, one of the essential substances of his environment. A fish must embrace water as a source of its existence with the instinctual understanding of both the benefits and perils that his liquid environment comes with. We must come to the realization that our ethereal atmosphere is filled with indistinct microscopic particles, invisible angels and rebellious spirits. We inhabit the same space that evil entities dwell in. We may not see them, but the evidence of their existence is obvious. We look at things first spiritually not because they can be visibly seen, but because through exercising spirituality, everything we do see through those lenses is seen more clearly. We believe that the next greatest technological breakthrough will be the scientific proof of the spirit world. Yes, science will ultimately prove that the spirit world does exist and A.I. will most likely lead the way!

Life is in the blood. This is why our blood samples and blood tests are so definitive. Is giving blood really giving life? Yes, in a manner of speaking it certainly is. Well before doctors and science discovered or understood the significance of our blood and circulatory system God let the children of Jacob (Israel) know that life was in their blood. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”  The spiritual connection is so profound it would take more than the remainder of this post to attempt to explain it. When Jesus died on the cross, he gave up his spirit and the soldier pierced his side, out came blood and water. The bible plainly states, “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” There is no way around it. These three substances are indeed essential to life! It is important to constantly remind ourselves and others that we are fearfully and wonderfully made not arbitrarily or randomly "Big Banged" into existence. We applaud scientific and technological advancements and discoveries, but it seems that we've gotten besides ourselves!  As people of the proverbial "Petri Dish," most of us are not aware of the ongoing battle being waged against us. We are the subjects of a great struggle and an ongoing experiment. The struggle is for our souls and the experiments are on our bodies and minds. Questioning anything and everything including ourselves enables us to discover these truths as we also battle our personal biases. The etiology of the human condition is at the core of our concerns. The drivers of our maladies include spiritual wickedness in high places and the natural manifestations of it in business, commerce, food, government, healthcare, science, society and religion. This is where we denounce the systemic corruption of our consciousness and call out any parties associated with it! THE COVID CRISIS IS NOT OVER! The culmination of conditions, convergence and consciousness are upon us again.

Today we take an even bolder step forward. Being aware of the push back and retaliation coming our way on the natural and spiritual planes we will stand. Sometimes we feel that this is a lonely journey but there are footprints in the sand. Our first blast goes out directly against the Food/medical/pharmaceutical industries. We do not directly blame the doctors, farmers and nurses on the front line, but they are culpable. How dare anyone deny, doubt and ignore the data they have a first-hand knowledge of. We are thankful for some of the brave men and women who take a stand and even sacrificed their careers for the sake of truth. Many allergies, anxieties, asthma, autoimmune diseases, behavioral disorders, cancers depression, diabetes, obesity and other ailments need to be revaluated. What drivers are behind the etiology of disease? Of course, sin and its overall effect compromised all of creation, but God in his infinite wisdom created multiple checks and balances. There are combinations of factors that can contribute to illnesses including genetic predisposition and environmental effects. Never-the-less beginning with our food and diets is there any reason not to question their involvement with our maladies? Many of the foods we eat can be classified as UPF'S (Ultra Processed Food Sources). These are basically foods that are manufactured in factories or plants rather than on farms. They look good, taste good, last longer and are addictive. Is it possible that the food industry is operating like drug pushers for the love of money? Even the foods that originate on farms are being adulterated with chemicals and other substances especially salts and sugars. Are agricultural chemicals also a part of the problem? The bio amplification of toxins in fruits and vegetables is not as bad as it is in meat products. This is why we advocate consuming more of a keto/vegetarian diet. Those who believe that animals have spirits too, should also acknowledge that they have feelings of discomfort, distress insecurity and pain. Grass fed and pasture grazing cows are advertised as well raised premium beef. Are they really or is it a mixture of regulatory hacks and hype? Those who really want to know can click on these links. Seeking the truth about food and The Truth About Grassfed Beef. The truth is often buried. Don't trust A.I. or corporate articles, dig deep! How many of us has ever see a truck full of chickens jammed into crates, crammed onto a flatbed, sailing down the road with feathers flying off of it? These chickens, destined to slaughter, are a small part of a larger process we don't get to see. It's similar to how they crammed slaves in the bottom of ships while transporting them here. Is this inhumane? Are animals under stress and being tortured before execution? Are we eating stressed meat full of certain hormones, including cortisol and catecholamines? These are the hormones that help animals cope with their "stress response." What about the invisible spiritual energy trapped inside the carcass of an animal killed in a state of fear? Do we blindly consume the life of the beast transferred from it blood into its flesh? We will never again visit a zoo where animals are caged and displayed for human amusement and entertainment. It is apparent that they are not happy. 

If abusing animals is appalling, what about abusing people? We now know that ultra processed foods have led to a depletion of micronutrients and dietary fiber. Malnutrition has a definition far beyond just a lack of food. Malnutrition can be further described as a lack of some things and too much of others! Many profitable agricultural processes have depleted the soil of its essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to name a few. To compensate for this nitrate fertilizers are being added so that crops grow bigger while the natural chemical in the soil diminish. The animals are also exposed to this chain of maximizing profits at the expense of them and the consumer. Personally, we would rather pay more, eat less and live longer than to compromise the spirit of our existence by selling our souls! Oh, how true it is that the love of money (commerce and the control of exchange) is the root of all evil! Being pierced through with many sorrows is simply the ramifications, cause and effect or reaping and sowing of this age! Why won't they publicly promote and recommend vitamin D? is it true that the mantra and motto of the billion upon billions of dollars pharmaceutical industry is "a patient cured is a customer lost?" We are convinced that the contamination of air, commerce, education, environment, food, freedom of expression, industries, land, medicine, nutrition, religion and critical thinking are slowly destroying us. Let's take a look at our micro to macro food source and feeding cycle. The food chain and feeding cycles start at a microscopic level. The primary producers and decomposers are microscopic organisms like phytoplankton (microscopic algae), bacteria, fungi, molds, and protozoa. Maybe this is where microorganisms feed on microplastics? These Microbes also release nutrients back into the environment. The organic matter produced by phytoplankton gets consumed by microscopic organisms (bacteria and protozoa) forming a "microbial loop". These microorganisms are then eaten by slightly larger organisms. The energy and nutrients produced at this level are then transferred upwards to increasingly larger organisms. Zooplankton and fish consume these nutrients. Our air quality is involved as well. ​Air pollution can affect everything from the smallest microbes to the largest trees and everything in between. Changes in plant and animal populations due to air pollution can disrupt the balance within ecosystems, leading to cascading effects throughout the food chain. Reduced photosynthetic efficiency is a direct result of bad air such as smog and other pollutants. This means that pollutants that settle on the plants and the soil can alter its chemistry. This makes it more difficult for plants to absorb nutrients and water. In addition, damaged leaves can lead to yellowing, spotting and weakening making them more susceptible to infestations and diseases. Respiratory issues are also associated with this cycle. Air pollution affects plants, the base of the food chain, leading to disruptions which affects both predators and prey. We eat fish, plants and animals. We breath the same air as they do. Pollution can negatively impact any species reproductive success and potentially lead to infertility, birth defects and/or reduced offspring.  

In that ultra-processed foods are making up over 50% of pregnant and postpartum women, does this mean that the crucial first 1000 days of a new life from a fertilized zygote (conception) to well after birth (toddlers) is disadvantaged? Are we being adversely affected and attacked while we are defenseless and innocent single cells? Today, the avoidance of toxins before, during and after fertilization is a parent's nightmare. The "knock-on" effects are becoming more and more apparent. Yes, correlation is not necessarily causation, but shouldn't it be strong consideration? Has our exposure to environmental chemicals been overlooked? Hair products, for color and texture are included. The cumulative load of hundreds and thousands of synthetic chemicals (reagents and reactants) are in household products like air fresheners, candles, electronic waste, thermal receipts and toothpaste to name a few. These toxins can have effects on neurodevelopmental (brain) and endocrine (sexual) hormonal dispositions. Could this be contributing to the issues people have with defining their gender and sexual identity? Perhaps we need to shift the responsibility and blame from people for being FAT to industry! Obesity like other viruses is now endemic. Can we continue without mentioning the silent unspoken spiritual aspects that go along with natural phenomena? Crime, hatred, racism, sickness and war, to name a few, are natural expressions of spiritual maladies. Our social disconnect exacerbated by social media has created an environment that fosters the disintegration of traditional social norms. People are no longer in physical contact with one another. The "spirit of our communications" is artificial and synthetic. Facial expressions have become emojis and feelings that were once verbalized, spoken and felt through tone and inflections are being impersonally and publicly messaged, tweeted and debated in print rather than in person. If our leadership is feuding by using chatting apps, how can we expect the general population to behave. At its beginning, what was heard on the radio was regarded highly and taken very seriously. Communications today have become impersonal, and the use of technology is to blame. The psychological and spiritual impacts are yet to be fully considered. The telephone, then television and the internet are a fairly new phenomena in the grand scheme of man's existence over the last 100 years. Today we are moving more and more towards relationships with A.I. than with one another!

All tangible acts and experiences start at and disseminate from a spiritual source. This is where the nature, order and purpose of anything in existence is defined. All existence originates and is spawned and sustained by the energy of spirit. Where there is no spirit there is no life. The unknown spark that sustains the flame which ignite the fires of life can be called spirit. GOD IS SPIRIT! We are spirit. There are spirits. Spirits express themselves in our behaviors, looks, expressions and mannerisms. Each and every occurrence in our lives has a significant and specific spiritual link. It is the energy of our behaviors. Feelings, emotions, words and actions all express spirit. The term "Spirit" is a hard to define and nebulous term to embrace. The nature of any physical, tangible or visible manifestation is authored, originated and predetermined by the expression of its spirit. Remember the D.I.P. 
​
Our natural order, structure and design formulation should shine a light providing "spiritual insight" on how life is intended to function. The purpose or function it represents is in its "spiritual design." The spirit of a thing determines both its visible and invisible attributes. We describe it as "the attitude of behavior." Spirits operate outside of physical evidence and cannot be physically seen. Sensing spirits by observing their behavior and speech is the primary way of discerning them. Without embracing another way of thinking that incorporates "spiritual vision" much of what we're saying here will make no sense. Accepting and applying "spiritual vision" requires "spiritual insight and logic." "Spiritual logic" is a learned discipline gained by observing "spiritual behavior." Spiritual logic empowered by spiritual insight is not perplexed by the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg? The natural purpose and order intended and produced by spiritual design has a floorplan that we can easily follow. If we fail to follow purpose or design, we repurpose or pervert it. The order of creation for the sake of procreation lets us know that the chicken came first and this is the pattern of life. The magnificent design of creation includes nature's order and purpose. This does not come about haphazardly or leave room for a "Big Bang Theory."  There is spirit in everything that exists and in everything that we do. Even if absent in body, sometimes we are able to be present in spirit. It is easier to describe some of the manifestations of spirit rather than attempt or try to define what spirit is. The spirit or energy of something differs slightly from the spirit or behavior of it. Life's demonstrations are a result of the spirit or order of things. The way that our mind influences our behaviors, is similar to the way our spirit reflects our character or present condition. The so-called negro spirituals of biblical and religious significance were songs born out of slavery from the days of Moses to this present times. They established a sense or "spirit of hope and endurance."

The Bible is filled with stories depicting how slavery, threatening's, torture and death failed to subdue the human spirit. Our temperament describes how we train and control our own spirit. Sometimes the terms "Spirit, spirits and spiritually" appear to describe s-p-i-r-i-t-u-a-l-i-t-y in confusing and vague terms. The use of these words interchangeably further complicates this conundrum. Spiritual things can only be compared with other spiritual things. There are many familiar metaphors, analogies and parables that stem out of describing our innate being. We hear them in many of the stories passed along from generation to generation. What this means is that descriptions like those, which are comparisons to natural things we can understand, gives us some idea through the images they create. The closest we can come to describing spiritual things in natural terms is comparing a source to its shadow.

Being in the sun and in the light of living life, our shadows act as silhouettes, they are graphical "representatives" of the images our bodies cast. This should only be compared with the way our activities are manifest expressions of our spirit. The invisible manifestations of spirit are embedded within our thinking. The visible manifestations of spirit are embedded within our behaviors. "Spirit," the gold standard of life, speaks to why we believe in God and can only be described not defined! ​

​Although all natural laws operate off of the spiritual energy that governs them, man-made laws can be subverted. It is important to understand that the opposite of spiritual is not natural it is physical and/or tangible. Natural refers to the basic innate nature of something. Both physical/tangible and spiritual things have their own nature. "Nature" in this context should be defined as the basic or inherent abilities and features of a person, place or thing. The basic and most common trait of all living physical tangible entities is gender! Let's face it, we exist in a realm of genders. Gender simply implies that different members of the same species can have specific roles in different contexts. There is no gender in the spiritual realm The main difference between the spiritual and natural realms are singularity and polarity. the spiritual world exists unified in one shared cloud or spirit. The natural world functions from the energy of the spirit world in a bipolar fashion. Every creation and creature in the known universe have characteristics, tendencies and traits built into their genetic design saddled upon them. Genetics propagates a species from one generation to another. Genetics and gender are related in several ways​. Gender is a primary requirement of creation. Although spirits are without gender the subjects that they influence, inhabit and occupy are not. All physical, tangible and visible things that form, procreate or reproduce require a minimum of two disparate things to interact. Whether it be it a force acting upon an object or an intermingling of diverse entities, it takes two to make one. This is creations rule. Whether (1) God (2) says, or (1) stars (2) collide, or (1) light (2) shines; a twofold activity can produce a singular result! To create or duplicate anything, a minimum of two things are involved. Every earthly natural act of forming, making or reproducing from photosynthesis to pollination is associated with or based upon the existence of gender. Our sensitivity to the operations of spirit can be developed and strengthened like our five basic physical senses of taste, touch, smelling, seeing and hearing. The more we exercise them the more discerning they become. Although there are more than five basic physical senses like proprioception and balance. The main five are naturally and easily understood.

Nature, the  natural order and balance of things can be violated but never totally subverted. In the "spirit" realm "natural order" and common sense are synonymous. This implies that there is an "intuitive" natural sense of judgement common to all. When something "makes sense" to us it means that it naturally aligns with our sensibilities. A shared "sense" of humor allows us to mutually perceive, appreciate and laugh at many "common moments" in life together. But our individual tastes in humor generally varies. What's funny to one person may not be to another. And as such this applies to many of our other intellectual senses. The spirit in which we view life affects our sensitivity to how we interpret what's presented. Many of life's discoveries reveal themselves to us in the form of a silhouette. The idea of a "silhouette" as an analogy when it comes to spirit, is probably one of the best ways of describing the relationship between natural and spiritual phenomena. A silhouette shows an image without exposing the source or substance of its origin. Shadows are very similar. Truth can be blinding! The brightness from the light of truth manifested by the Father Of Spirits is overwhelmingly brilliant! Imagine gazing at a solar eclipse without the proper eye protection and burning our retinas out. Even Moses desiring to see God's Glory was only permitted to peer at God's hinder parts after he passed by. Most naturally occurring physical truths reveal themselves through investigations over time. Even through our biases we are fully capable of discovering truth. Spiritual truths must be revealed to us spiritually. The enlightenment of our minds results from the spiritual transformation that our soul instructs our brain through supernatural means. It is our own "Confirmation bias" that we must battle against. A belief, even if it's not true is still embraced as truth. "The Scientific method" was developed as "a logical, empirical process for acquiring knowledge and establishing facts through observation, experimentation, and testing. It has been a core part of Science since at least the 17th century." The six or seven steps in the process assures us that our personal biases are not added as a part of our findings and guarantees accurate conclusions. We can choose not to acknowledge conflicting data by purposely ignoring or overlooking it. This is how deception" works. The "spirit of deception" can keep us from seeing and acknowledging the lessons that everyday experiences are teaching us. We cannot apply truth without consciously embracing truths' principles and restrictions on our thinking and behaviors. Awakening to an awareness and acceptance of our shortcomings and sins requires the adoption of principles and standards that oppose them. We all have chosen at one time or another, whether consciously or unconsciously, to remain unseeing in situations where “we could know, and should know, but don’t want to know because it makes us feel better not to know.”

​Most people do not understand the Science behind the interactions of spirit. It may appear chaotic but there is an order. We interact spiritually whether we are aware or not, awake or asleep! We can observe the patterns of spiritual energies with their interactions that branch and span through their hierarchy. How they operate has patterns, but the intricacies of these operations vary from situation to situation. God's Spirit will not always strive with us! Learned and practiced behavior is very difficult to disguise or change. Computer programs and artificial intelligence (A.I.) take advantage of this fact. Seeing things from a spiritual perspective reveals these "echoes of occurrences" we call patterns. Our motive or purpose behind how we think and behave arises out of the spirit of our consciousness. Spirits in and of themselves are impartial. Their behaviors, motives and personifications are derived from what we allow them to do. Spirits operate in accordance with the laws of attraction and as such their influence feels natural. Bees are attracted to flowers in the same way negative and positive ends of a magnet attract. As spiritual beings we can reshape and permute our own natural drives and instincts. As an example, let's evaluate the forces behind everyday attraction. Attraction has several dimensions to it. Through spiritual examination we can observe the multiple threads that simple attraction can lead us in. Attraction in its purest form is a clean sense of appeal. In another context it takes on an air of admiration. However, in its basest form, attraction can be transformed and twisted into lust, indecent desires and uncontrolled passions. The pathology of spirit may not follow any patterns we are familiar with. However, through discernment we can follow whatever weakness it exploits using spiritual insight. Attitudes, behaviors and motivation of spirit are something we all experience. Although we might find it hard to accept and understand the heinous acts and atrocities committed by others, we all have control over our own spirit.

​Gaining an appreciation of how spirits operate is like looking in a microscope and seeing germs for the first time. The hardest thing to wrap our heads around in understanding the ways of spirit is how to control or restrict them. Because "Spirit" interconnects with our spirit, it's hard to distinguish whether its "our will or the influence of spirit driving or motivating our activity. Although we believe that we are in total control of our decisions, we are not. We are generally acting out of predictable reasoning and conditioning. In most cases it's not what we do but how we do it! "There is nothing unclean of itself." It is we (us) that make it unclean, usually in application or use (natural order and purpose). There is nothing wrong with drinking wine in and of itself. It is the abuse of drinking it that creates problems. There is nothing wrong with sex in and of itself. Sexual intercourse for humans amounts to the greatest benefit, consolation, prize and reward specifically designed for marriage. It is reserved for those willing to commit to a lifelong emotional, intellectual, psychological, physical and spiritual union. The "act" of sexual intercourse has no prerequisites. Everyone is capable of performing it in one way or another. It is sex outside of the scope of its design (natural order and purpose) that creates issues. Whatever we allow without limits creates the opportunity to "pervert its practice." Whatever we prohibit or regulate prevents and protects us from the "ramifications of its abuse." As human beings, we are free moral agents who can do as we please, even if it's against the law. Our leaders set the example and should uphold the standards by example that we all should follow. The spirit/consciousness of leadership can be followed, imposed or transmitted into their followers.
​
This is how "mob mentalities" lynched blacks, burned towns, eradicated Jews, and condoned genocide historically across the world. Spirit does not operate according to geographic boundaries! The holocaust and all like atrocities are the result of the flu-like symptoms passed down from the leaders that orchestrated them. Please do not ignore the zeitgeist of the day. This is why we must ALL hold our leaders to the highest standards! The spread of the present coronavirus, "COVID-19" plainly illustrates this. SPIRIT, LIKE VIRUS, IS CONTAGIOUS! We have written these warnings explicitly; especially over the past few years in multiple posts, most recently on November 1st, 2019. The post entitled "Chicken Little - Noah and the art of ark building" is linked here. ​It is the abuse and perversion of spirit that corrupts the balance, flow and true intended essence of life. We are free to exert or pervert our energies in the spirit in which we use them for prosperity, pleasure or power in and over life. Examining and observing the "spirit of purpose" (the motivational/why spirit) is the duty of every follower. Regardless of the cause, the end DOES NOT justify the means! In the spirit world intent, order and purpose carry as much significance as the act, thought, behavior or activity. WE ARE ALL PARTAKERS OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE!

Brainwashing, gaslighting and grooming can be systemic. The influence of multimedia should not be underestimated. Profit motives are imbedded in many statistics. Most people don't know the difference between studies tests and trials. Unfortunately, many of these terminologies are used interchangeably. Statistics can lie too! Associations, correlations, data sets, models, publications and other convoluted jargon are the terms we most often hear. In this forum we question everything and research what's reported in the news, what doctors say, what politicians say, what preachers say and what we've traditionally been taught! Our mission is to apply Biblical spiritual principles to everyday situations in a practical and reasonable way. This is what these posts are all about. There are those who love to focus on prophecies and doomsday predictions rather than everyday issues that deal with how to navigate through these tumultuous times. The signs are everywhere, and the handwriting is on the wall, but we've got a way to go and a lot to do. Living victorious takes belief in our efforts rather than fear of the future. " And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers' places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Fear can compel and even motivate us, but it cannot keep and sustain us. Don't believe the hype, there's work to do! "We are not expected to complete our life's work during our lifetime; Neither are we excused from it!" Although many of us believe that we live in a DEMOCRACY, most of us do not realize that we are under the control of a HEGEMONY. We are currently the victims of "corporate corruption and capture." This system allows vested interest in healthcare to inequitably influence research data and control. We need a system that allows the data from research to be complete, transparent, unedited and without redactions. We need to create an open door and close the revolving door that is operated by the "straight jacket" of national guidelines coming from bodies primarily informed by research already brought and paid for by organizations that are profiting by it. We need to remove the foxes that are guarding the hen houses and replace them with hound dogs that will howl truth!

Teaching is goal oriented. We can be taught or teach to know, learn and/or understand! "Rote memorization," is a technique that relies on repetition to learn information without necessarily understanding its meaning. Some people with autism can be exceptional at "learning by heart." "Active learning" on the other hand works differently. It requires a different type of effort that retains material in short-term memory and then transfers it to long-term memory. It is said to be essential for acquiring the knowledge we then contemplate that yields understanding and develops critical thinking. Are the techniques we use today with A.I., "so-called" writing partners and autofill's completing our sentences just LEARNED INCOMPETENCE? Are these so-called aids beneficial or detrimental? It seems that schools are simply showing the techniques and teaching the tests to measure competency. Are we really learning to think and figure things out or simply following leads? Yes, the greatest enemy of learning is knowing! As lifelong learners we are constantly examining and reviewing the information we post and revising it if necessary. Truth reveals and unfolds greater truths that may or may not be based on our forgone conclusions. Keep in mind that addendums and corrections may be added to this and previous posts. In addition, excerpts from previous publications may be included in new and current writings.

Can we simply express positive affirmations and claim things to be or come into being? Is it just wishful thinking or the application of faith? Is such power possible and has it ever happened before? There are examples and instances in the Bible that seemingly resemble such a feat so let's look at it closer. Remember any truth blended into and mingled with a lie corrupts that truth. Today, many of the "I AM" AFFIRMATIONS fit into this category. The power granted to us by God is UNLIMITED, but it is also conditional. Misusing God's authority and God's name will carry varied consequences. Moses missed out on reaching the Promise land and only saw it. Many will claim to have done many wonderous works. Others will bite off more than they can chew. There is a formula and science to faith. Simply saying certain words can have positive psychological effects but there is much more to God's way and God's will. There are no quick fixes or solutions to applying faith. The results we achieve through proclamations may surprise us. They may not come, and they can be instantaneous or prolonged. There is much more to it beyond the scope of this post. “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”

The cosmetic, entertainment and fashion industry along with the current sentiment and zeitgeist appear to be all about appearance, indulgence, looks and longevity. Many people do not realize that within the cosmetic industry beauty is a dirty business. The entertainment business is filled with corruption. The fashion industry is exploitive. The natural desire to live longer creates many longevity lies. So called "blue zones" and wellness hotspots are marketed for the love of money. Although there is nothing wrong with looking good and living long, those goals are not being expressed or placed in their best and proper priority. "They" are exploiting both native people and naive consumers by marketing these lies. OUR GOAL SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE LOOKING GOOD BUT RATHER BEING HEALTHY. OUR GOAL SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARILY LIVING A LONGER LIFE BUT RATHER LIVING A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE WHILE WE ARE ALIVE. QUALITY TRUMPS QUANTITY MOST TIMES. D.E.S.P. are the keys to longevity. Be "desperate" diet, exercise, social and purpose are the critical components of a fulfilled life, keeping pets and plants capitalizes on this. Serving others and society is more important than appearance. 

Whether we know it or not we are responsible for creating our own health. We choose and control what we eat, where we go and what we do when we get there. This is the environment we create. It's not just about the weather and the news. It's more about the company and foods we choose. The institution of health care has been CORRUPTED from it design, intent and purpose. We must advocate for ourselves as never before. Big Pharma has corrupted the medical industry at the teaching, testing and textbook levels. Too many of us are being deceived and deceiving ourselves by both doctors cognitive and confirmation biases. We FEEL and so we think that what we're doing is okay and that we're exceptions to the rules. The incentive for medical treatments and therapies is to make money. This is a systemic virus affecting the medical and pharmaceutical industries which has spread into their patients and our populace! With all the time and money applied to cancer research over all of these years, where are the cures? Good health and healing are processes that involve a joint cooperative relationship between the natural and spiritual aspects of our existence. Many of us are failing to enter into this rest because of unbelief. In spite of what doctors say, and the pills, potions and procedures practiced by a system that generally fails to acknowledge God's ability, assistance and sovereignty don't believe the hype. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS ASSERTION PLAINLY AND PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THERE IS A CURE FOR EVERY DISEASE. The path to accessing the PROMISE of healing is being obscured by both religion and science. It appears that they both limit and/or fail to acknowledge the perfect law of the Lord. God's word and promises are true. We simply need to know and follow HIS WAYS. "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God." Why is it so hard to believe that Jesus actually, definitely and really cured all manner of sickness and disease? Why is it so hard to accept that he has passed it on to man? We were told that those works, and greater works would be done by us! We need to begin looking beyond our local churches and doctors and look directly to God. God's spirit will lead us and guide us into all truth. We simply have to keep searching for it until we find it. It's not always how and where we think it is. Go to church, go to diet, go to doctors and be holistic. We must bring our belief to the practices rather than having faith in the practices to believe. See these posts and let's firm up our faith... (1) August 6th, 2022 - HOLISTIC & WHOLISTIC HABITATS-THE BENEFITS OF BEING BALANCED... (2) November 1st, 2022 - MOST OF OUR HEALING IS NOT A MIRACLE!!!!... (3) November 17th, 2024 - THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF ALZHEIMER'S DEMENTIA AND THE BATTLE! We believe that practicing faith through our personal testimonies, as unconventional as it may seem, is one of the best ways to honestly express concerns! We are not interested in monetizing our blog or any of its posts. That is why there are no advertisements when you click on them. Freely we have received and freely we give back! The D.I.P. (design, intent and purpose) of our blog posts are driven by pure empirical natural and spiritual science. Nothing is written in stone which permits a free and open dialectic. 

Short cuts, hacks, quick fixes, tricks and overnight transformations are the order of the day, but most of them have a catch to them or they are fake. It seems that everything from losing weight, getting in shape, lowering blood pressure, treating type II diabetes, muscle stiffness, treating injuries & eating the right foods for nutrition have an instant solution. In the long run minimal efforts rarely produce maximum effects. Many of the shortcuts we incorporate tend to eventually create long term ramifications. This pill popping, potion drinking, needle shooting, supplement taking and vape inhaling society solicits a false faith in substances. This works in opposition to a real faith in God! Microwaving our food consistently is one of them. Microwave's heat food by agitating the water molecules in it to produce heat from the friction caused by that action. These ovens cook food from the inside out. Occasionally using a microwave oven "MIGHT" be okay but the effects over months, years or decades has yet to be determined. We can only theorize till we realize, open up our eyes and then recognize! There is no such thing as a quick fix, but there is such a thing as instant gratification. Instant gratification is being used as a marketing tactic. It is the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delay. The tendency to choose immediate satisfaction appeals to today's zeitgeist. Psychologically, it is our natural preference for short-term remedy. It is the anthesis of patience and one of the attributes of the FRUIT (singular) OF THE SPIRIT! 

Salt is like the sun. All life depends on its chemical properties to survive. It has been used by humans for thousands of years, from food preservation to seasoning. Salt's ability to preserve food was a founding contributor to the development of civilization. So, what is the problem with salt? Salt is an essential nutrient for human health. The principle we need to understand is that too much of anything can be bad for us! A false balance is abominable. Eating too much or too little salt can cause problems. Excess salt intake can lead to water retention, high blood pressure, heart disease, and hypernatremia. Low salt intake can also be harmful. Our salt levels affect the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. It is paramount to understand that the food industry is addicting us to salt and sugars at very early ages and stages in our lives. "They" are today's drug dealers. We must diligently read the labels on the foods we consume. "They" are putting it in everything because it is cheap and highly profitable. All for the love of money. Both salt and DIRECT sunshine are necessary and vital in moderation according to each individuals need.

​The growing list of autoimmune diseases and comorbidities is staggering. Environment and lifestyle changes have increased the prevalence of autoimmune diseases. The rise in autoimmune diseases can be attributed to multiple factors. Technology has changed things and has introduced a plethora of chemicals and pollutants that the immune system may not have encountered in the past. These substances can lead to inappropriate immune responses, causing the immune system to attack the body's own cells and tissues. We evolve slowly but progress is moving at a record pace. Some of us may have a genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases and are more susceptible to them. There is a hygiene hypothesis that suggests because of a lack of exposure to dirt and germs in childhood by going outside and playing outdoors it may lead to an overactive immune system. This hypothesis is supported by studies showing that children living in rural areas or on farms are less likely to develop autoimmune diseases. There are psychological factors that also come into play. Living such driven and stressful lives can trigger autoimmune diseases in some individuals. Our values, especially among the younger generation, are filled with apathy, competition, selfishness and vanity. Our immune systems are reacting to stress of what we define as success. This may also contribute to the rising rate of suicides along with bullying. 

Our bodies and our health are complex. What seems logical may not always be beneficial. In fact, without a proper understanding of our unique biology, metabolism and stage in life we can inadvertently do more harm than good using SOME supplements. Supplements are products intended to enhance our diet by supplying what we lack in our regular routines. In this pill popping and drug injecting impatient age of instantaneous gratification supplements are offering us results without doing the work. The best way to get the nutrients our bodies need is directly from the natural air, food and light sources available to us. Eat right, exercise, sleep right and do right. That is the key to longevity, harmony and peace. There are supplements we SHOULD take along the way, especially vitamin D. We highly recommend NAC, potassium, iodine, earthing and direct sunshine. In May of 2021 Amazon announced that it was removing NAC-containing supplements from its virtual shelves. Although it is back now, they claimed that this was in response to an FDA announcement that the ingredient was not deemed to be a legal dietary ingredient. This conveniently occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic possibly because it could compete with Big Pharma's vaccines. However, we should not buy into the belief that pills and potions can take us to where we want to go. Even prescriptions from qualified health practitioners must be regarded with scrutiny. We must educate ourselves and be able to advocate on behalf of our own bodies, minds and soul. While they were in school, many of today's practicing doctors only had time to memorize things like the Krebs cycle, pass the test, then move on to the next subject without gaining a full understanding. Our bodies are gifted to us in order to express our existence. Not honoring, taking care of and treasuring them is a travesty. The Bible calls it a temple!

Getting old is not for the faint of heart. Taking it easy and laying back may be relaxing but it can also be detrimental. Age may seem to creep up on us but that's not what really happens. Time never changes pace, we do! They don't call it the "rat race" for nothing. that term is an insult to rats. The phrase "rat race" depicts the ongoing, competitive struggle for power, money, or status, that seems to be endless. It is often characterized by a relentless pace and a lack of time for living life to its fullest or balancing leisure and enjoyment. The term is believed to have originated in the late 1800s. It initially referred to the mazelike passages that rats move through in their territory. By the 1930s, the term "rat-race" was also used in aviation training to describe a "follow-the-leader" pattern. The phrase has evolved to its current meaning of a competitive struggle, particularly in work and life. Just observing "rush hour" clues us into its meaning. As we age our perspectives should expand in the way we see life. Unfortunately, some people stubbornly refuse to be refined into a fine wine. We like to frame things in ways that suit our narratives so that we do not have to change or grow. There are many appealing and clever ads that deceive multitudes, like the ones that say He gets us and depicts Jesus in roles that are incorrect and unscriptural. OF COURSE HE GETS US, HE MADE US! Jesus washed his disciples' feet who followed him. He healed the afflicted and the sinners who came to him. God is trying to get us to get him! Not the opposite way around! This is the theme that runs throughout the Bible. From the Adam to now God continues attempting to redeem mankind in spite of the free will GOD gifted to us. GOD has allowed all of mankind to be free moral agents! 

"What were you thinking," is often the question asked after someone does something so stupid that it defies logic. The spirit that drives our behaviors begin at a level of invisible intellectual faculties that must be disciplined by standards and/or teaching. When we do not learn how to control our thoughts their verbal and physical expressions can manifest the vile imaginations that can be spawned by evil energy. Isn't it strange that people believe in good and evil but not God or the devil. We are living in an age of anarchy, apathy and selfishness. We are not just wrestling against flesh and blood. Today people have little regards for one another and are being very inconsiderate.
​Pranks and pride go hand in hand. Too many people are defining their value and worth by the number of Views they can get on Tic Tok, YouTube and other platforms. This can be dangerous and encourage increasingly risky behaviors. Those of us that think that this is entertaining and view such antics are enablers, not to mention the platforms themselves that allow violence vandalism and anarchy to be posted. Do we really think that being entertained by the level of violence portrayed in video games, movies, music and television doesn't spill over into the way we behave? Our thoughts directly influence how we feel and how we behave. If we think we are a failure, we will feel like a failure and act like a failure, which reinforces our belief that we must be a failure. Our thoughts create our feelings, and our feelings drive our behavior. Emotions trigger feelings in our body and certain thoughts in our mind, which drive our decisions and behavior. Our behavior is also influenced by social approval, acceptance, the need to achieve, and the motivation to take or to avoid risks. 

THERE IS A BATTLE 
AGAINST SINS DISEASE
IN THIS DAY AND TIME 
DO NOT BE AT EASE.

THEY WON'T SAY SIN
BUT THEY WILL SAY CRIME
THEY DON'T REGARD SPIRIT
ARE THEY ALL SO BLIND?

THE THINGS WE VALUE
ARE FILLED WITH STRIFE
BUT NONE OF THEM
DEFINES OUR LIFE.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TODAY
SHOULD BE ALSO TOMORROW
WHY DO WE CHASE
PAIN GRIEF AND SORROW?

WHAT IS THE ANSWER
WHO CAN WE BLAME
DOES LIFE HAVE MEANING
IS IT JUST A GAME?

IT'S WE OURSELVES
THAT MAKE IT HARD
SEE THROUGH THE FOG
AND LOOK TO GOD!
