EVERYBODY BELIEVES IN SOMETHING. BELIEFS ARE OUR BRAINS WAY OF NAVIGATING AND MAKING SENSE OF THE INFLUENCES FROM CULTURAL, PERSONAL AND SOCIAL EXPERIENCES. THIS ALONG WITH OUR GENETICS AND TEACHINGS, MAKE UP THE CORE INGEDIENTS OF OUR MENTAL COMPOSITION! WE ARE WHAT WE (EAT) BELIEVE AND THINK.DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!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! KNOWING VERSUS LEARNINGTeaching 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. SHOWING EMOTION & HAVING FEELINGS IS OVERRATEDFeelings are the meanings we give to emotions. Emotions operate by moving feelings and getting them in motion. They can take advantage of temporary excitement and psychic energy to motivate or depress us. Emotions can be easily triggered by actions, experiences and thoughts whether they are real or imagined. We all have feelings and feel emotions. Although most of us use the terms feelings and emotions interchangeably there are many distinctions. Displaying emotions can have a contagious effect. We see this in action at funerals, political gatherings and sporting events. Emotions can be used to manipulate us and in fact should always be scrutinized carefully. It is easy to surrender our power through tears or usurp power over others with anger or rage. Anyone in the judicial system or law enforcement should be able to relate to this. Thoughts must be trained! Too many people are bring caught up in the psychic energy of the moment. Entertainers, motivational speakers, politicians and preachers tend to manipulate and master using this energy to spellbind masses. There is a triad in progression that involves thinking, saying and doing. The process can often be completed without the "middleman" of saying and talking about it, but articulating an idea gives it more form. Feelings and emotions operate at the invisible intellectual faculty level and develop from there into verbal speech and tangible actions. There is a spirit in operation across this process that must also be measured and monitored. AFFIRMATIONS AND APPLICATIONSCan 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?” looks can be deceiving priorities are importantThe 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. HEALTH CARE IS PROFIT DRIVEN SICK CAREWhether 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. THERE'S NO SUCH THING: QUICK FIXes & mixes!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! SOCIETY IS BEING ASSAULTED WITH SALT!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. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE IS RAMPART!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. SUPPLEMENTS AREN'T ALL THE RAGE!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! THINGS AMPLIFY WITH AGE!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! THOUGHTS DRIVE BEHAVIORS!"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!
