POINTING OUT PRINCIPLES FOR PEOPLE TO PRACTICE !!!

SPIRITUAL STANDARDS EXPOSE
OUR SHORTCOMINGS

Don't get it twisted. This forum is not about telling anyone "what" to do. We must come to the understanding that "how, when and why" we do the things that we do, can be just as important as "what" we do. Our reasoning behind these posts is simply about pointing people towards solutions. EVERYTHING here is written in chalk. NOTHING is written in STONE. As Cardinal Richelieu is often quoted as saying; "if you give me six lines written by the hands of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." We are not exceptions here; all influencers should live in fear of the noose. The purpose of this platform is to present spiritual perspectives and to post, practice and perform the marvels of principles. In the past, by having been a victim of the conditions we were raised in and the conditioning that that it inflicted upon us, we are compelled to help others dealing with similar circumstances. Many of the writings may appear complicated or convoluted. In reality some are. Spiritual logic does not conform to our "natural" thought processes. Although some writings will be simplified by using analogies and comparisons to nature and various scientific processes, they are just that. The gravity and seriousness of "some topics" discussed will require an understanding that comes only through inspired epiphanies from revelations through study. "Other topics" will just require a "childlike" mentality to grasp. The biggest obstacle we all face in grasping new truth is ingrained former beliefs and biases. This forum is about practicing principles that we can take responsibility for, and upholding standards that enforce and follow natural order! For those mainly interested in listening to clever quips or words of wisdom we will be adding audio "summaries" to each post now and in the near future. We have no editors interested in, qualified or willing to investigate; validate or verify the spiritual principles we present here. The comments from our followers serve as editorials. The promised we give is to always thoroughly research topics and deliver information that can then be applied and practiced from the principles presented. "The proof will be in the pudding." The main asset we offer is the ability to honestly and openly share our experiences, insights and studies along with the revelations we've derive from them. The universe always responds to actions, and we intend to act on behalf of those whose voices may not be being heard. Our first priority is the ENVIRONMENT, in all aspects, spiritually and naturally. This is followed by HUNGER and POVERTY. We also address RACISM, RELIGION, POLITICS, FINANCES, ECONOMICS and CONSCIOUSNESS. In addition to these prominent topics is overall HEALTH. This encompasses our mental, physical and spiritual well-being. We outline methods and provide practical applications of principles to everyday dilemmas and issues. This is how we discover, define and practice the principles we attempt to describe. There are laws that are always present around us but sometimes we are not aware of them. In addition to this, there are principles applicable to every circumstance and situation we encounter. Once we become privy to the "Law of Principles" we only need the wisdom to apply these principles properly and create HIGH STANDARDS.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT

​Many times, progress is not about "what" we do but "how" we do it. Sometimes it's mainly about "how" we see and sense things. However, in every instance, it is also about "what" we believe. Our perspectives works hand in hand with our practiced beliefs. Believing and doing are synchronized with our ability to create (think) and manifest (act) in our life's mission! THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM HUMANITY FACES TODAY IS LOSS OF PURPOSE AND MISSION. Many of us do not know "where" we're going, "what" we're doing or "why" we're doing it! We are simply following the course that life seemingly has laid out before us. Our destiny belongs to us individually. Empowering, encouraging, exposing and including one another in discovering our individual callings is an endeavor of a lifetime. The concept of what purpose is must be socially and spiritually endowed. It cannot be legislated or decreed through judicial or religious fiat. Although our governments attempt to address ethical and moral issues through legal means, the spirit in which they were authored can get corrupted and lost over time. Affirmative action and DEI are examples of how governments tried to accomplish this. "Affirmative action" and D.E.I. are not the same. While both aim to promote fairness and equal opportunities, they were spawned from different movements in different times, operate in distinct ways and serve different purposes. In a nutshell, Affirmative action stemmed from the civil rights movement and its design was to promote equal access and representation in society. The time of its inception was in the 60's when advances in multimedia accelerated the visibility of the civil rights movement. This plainly exposed social injustices, and the government was forced to address "systemic" discrimination. It was based primarily on race but included other minorities. The evolution of Affirmative action has now expanded beyond its original scope of intent. The sexual revolution intertwined with the new LGBTQIA movement has embedded itself within the traditional moral standards of society. The movement has morphed into and operates off of a new theme called "intersectionality." This is the framework behind the design of D.E.I. The advent of D.E.I. which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, was designed basically to establish, fund and promote nondiscriminatory/inclusive environments. The differences between the two are subtle. Although both original intentions were honorable, the results have also been morally and socially divisive. Integrating and mixing is not as simple as it seems. Violating the "principles of mixing," is easy if we are not aware of them or are ignorant of how they operate. We can never win an argument against ignorance or "What a fool believes." Whether it's mixing drinks; muddling, mixing chemicals; blending, mixing audio, batch processing or baking a cake; there are formulas to follow. There are some things that we cannot and should not mix together, like oil and water. Without having established societal standards, we will fall victim to a modern day "Jerry Springer" type zeitgeist. Standards need to be applied personally and locally. Without acknowledging or factoring in standards we are likely to allow our biases to distort our opinions and views. As human beings we are prone take sides in ignorance and without being fully informed. Applying principles to standards allows them to be refined in their expression. The way any of us sees things is a byproduct of our education and experiences. Beliefs can and will deceive us if they are not scrutinized. Ideally, in light of factual truth, our opinions should be easily altered if we were only open to being wrong. This should be the standard in osteopathic medicine and all science. Unfortunately, it is not! Allopathic practices, disguised as scientific breakthroughs are being introduced without being thoroughly tested today. The true standard that principles themselves operate upon are without bias. By design, they can bring scrutiny to any policies or practices without directly targeting the people and institutions enforcing them. Standards built around principles create "tools" that allows us to evaluate sensitive issues while removing the biases of our personal perspectives from the equation. If implemented properly, these "tools" uphold standards for forming judgements. Unfortunately, it is our personal judgements that form the foundation of our beliefs. Our beliefs are what empower the energy of our actions. There are "principle of power" that allow us to give our voice to other people and things that need one. Children, both born and unborn, plants, animals and nature itself only have the voice we give it. We are obligated to form a more perfect union among and between humanity and every part of nature. This is a part of our universal calling and mission. If we don't like something we should work to change it rather than pick up our marbles like spoiled children and quit or leave. There are "principles" built around the "law of exchange" that have made it evident that coexistence is imperative to us all. "Exchange" is the way of life! "Exchange" is life! Without exchange; breath, commerce, evaporation, photosynthesis pollinizing and many other processes required to sustain life will cease. Whether we are aware of it or not there are multiple natural and spiritual "laws of interdependence" that are a byproduct of the "law of exchange" at work. Laws operate in layers and some laws beget other laws. As a species, we should have progressed to a point in life where we understand that life is inextricably interconnected, and that interdependence is key. We, as an adaptable and interrelated species are all dependent upon each other's abilities to continually grow, adjust and evolve together. Whether we acknowledge it or not, Principles (LAWS) rule the day. We are all subject to the laws of the universe. When it comes to gravity it's easy for us to adhere to its "principles of interaction" or suffer the consequences. What about the laws of harmony, synchronization and interdependence? Whenever we work against these laws, we eventually suffer the consequences whether we are aware of it or not. We will always directly or indirectly reap and/or face the ramifications of "principle activating actions." Even if we don't our children will. We can pollute our lungs with tobacco smoke and our planet with toxic waste all we want to. Contradicting principles within literary guidelines like the Bible and other holy writ is wrong! The Bible is not really a book. The Bible can be better described rather than defined. The Bible is a literary collection that includes analogies, history, laws, letters, principles and stories compiled in a volume. The Bible is a book of standards we can apply use for living a "Godly" existence. The "volume" boldly and repeatedly proclaims the "universal principle" that man cannot help but reap what he sows! Although practices may change principles are permanent.

PRINCIPLES TAKE PRECEDENCE AND PRIORITY OVER ALL OTHER PRACTICES

Let's begin with the most important principle of all principles. By starting with what's called and broadly classified as the "Laws of Principles," sometimes called or named "Principles of Manifestations," "Principle of Principles," and "First Principles," we can begin to make sense of the forces at play that seemingly govern our lives. Today, the notably popularized "Laws of Attraction" have recently become one of the most prevalent and prolific concepts or laws whose applications, practices and principles have been promoted. It is also historically, and probably among the most misapplied and misunderstood laws or principles ever. When defined by the "law of principles" it takes on a different meaning. It is important to know that laws and principles although synonymous differ in application and expression (what they describe). We distinguish them apart when defining them through their expression. Laws are often expressed as single equations, while principles are usually expressed as conceptual statements. A "law of principle" is a "universal principle" that describes the fundamental nature of a "thing," the relationships between various "things," or its universal properties. It can also be a description that explains these relationships and principles. The principle we're focusing on in this post is called the "principle of definitions." This fundamental principle is often ignored in our everyday lives and dictionary's. This principle states that definitions without reference to, or comparison of, how it interrelates with the rest of life are shortsighted. This is why we concentrate on and stress the spiritual aspects of our existence and its association with our mind. This principle means that all individual actions have a collective effect. Defining anything in terms of its relation to other "things" associates everything. Knowing that no "thing" is an island, is just as important as knowing that no man is an island. Practicing this principle is similar to creating an environmental impact statement for every issue we encounter. Just as The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) required by law an environmental impact statement, likewise we must consider the impact of any of our actions upon the rest of nature and the world. As one of the "principles of inclusion," defining interactions this way changes our perspective on life. Including every factor when defining or describing anything increases its accuracy. Let's make one thing perfectly clear this is no secret. Life and mind operate through spiritual energy. Natural principles are not hidden, mystical, deep or complicated. They are open and available to anyone seeking them. Applying principles allows us to create standards consistent with reality. Once principles are discovered or uncovered, they can be applied across multiple disciplines. The true beauty of the "Pool of Principles" is that they are all being illustrated by someone, somewhere, somehow in one way or another every day. The Bible is full of examples of both natural and spiritual principles interwoven within every character, parables, and story contained in it. The universe targets us individually with a customized, tailored lesson plan specifically designed for whatever circumstance we will face. The principles inside theses individual "Packages of Principles" don't expire, can be taught, shared and used over and over again. Whatever the universe gives us has an unlimited warranty and no expiration date! Here's a new principle we've just became aware of in our practices. We'll call this principle "The Principle of Focus" or the "there's no such thing as a catch 22" Principle. These principles are spiritual in nature and originate at the root of causation. The basis of all tangible actions originate from a non-tangible source called thought. Thought is a form of spiritual energy. Some "things" can only be discerned spiritually. The bible says that "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Spiritual principles can operate outside of natural laws. It may appear that all natural laws operate uniformly within the corporeal universe but that is an illusion, they may not necessarily do so. Laws operate and work in layers that can supersede one another. Although all tangible manifestations begin and are birthed from spiritual origins they exist in two different forms. Thought form supplies the energy to produce physical form. We cannot stress this principle enough! This may seem to be redundant, but it is so important to grasp fully. Thoughts become "things." Thoughts first form mentally, then they take on verbal and physical form. It is easier to address errant thought at the imaginative or verbally expressive stage of development rather than have to deal with its manifestations at the physical stage. Standards can be applied to everything from thinking to doing. Even thoughts and imaginations must be kept in subjection to mind. Failure to learn how to think and exercise control over thought can result in anarchy. Standards operate mutually in the realm of spirit and mind. This is why mental health issues must be dealt with at both the psychological and spiritual levels. This may be why it seems that more and more people are continuing to lose their minds. Is it simply because they don't know how to keep them? Whenever we focus on a particular issue intensely, initially it may "feel" as if things get worse. Although it may "seem" that way, generally it's not true. Focusing itself has a way of magnifying things in a way that represents them differently from the way we first viewed them. After focusing on something we may see it differently, but that difference may only be the details. Likewise, when dealing with a problem at first glance we may not see the severity of it. But after close examination we come to the realization that the problem was greater than originally thought. These discoveries should give us some joy in the consolation that the focusing part of the process has begun to work. We can only deal with what we are aware of. As "focusing" closely exposes things, we must learn to respond to its revelations as feeling informed rather than overwhelmed. No one has a monopoly on principles, neither have we discovered them all. The proof is in the practice. True love permits us to accept each other as we are but allows us to hold one another to higher standards. As we continue to discover and practice different principles we will present them for consideration in this forum.

STANDARDS ARE NOT STATIC THEIR DYNAMIC PROPERTIES EVOLVE PERPETUALLY

There are certain "why's" in life that cannot be defined, explained prematurely or may not be able to be understood at all. Sometimes beliefs must be embraced without evidence and intellectual or intuitive proof. The "standard" of human experience is composed of both a natural and spiritual journey. We can connect to and with the spiritual aspect of our being through our minds while we connect with the natural aspect of our existence through both our minds and bodies. Yes, even experiences can be categorized as expected, normal or what we might call standard. We must be taught and learn standards. There are standards for everything! S.O.P, also known as standard operating procedures, are used by a wide range of industries beyond healthcare including aviation, finance, and construction. There is a "way" and "why" to how "things" are and should be done. There is a rational behind any functioning aspect or action in life. This means it has an intentional, organized and predesignated design within its nature. We can pervert it or build upon that nature. Building upon what we know to be already true provides consistency and promotes further discovery. Left to our own imagination and vices can give rise to perverting basic, sacred or solemn acts and practices. We cannot expect a child to intuitively know how to or practice eating a balanced diet. Dietary standards are established then handed down, we teach them. Even after being taught to do what's best, most children and many adults default to what tastes good to them over what's actually best for them. Our ​minds can override the intellect of the brain, defy common sense and resist rational behavior. This is why we must be taught to continually discipline and train our minds. This is what is characterized as "Critical Thinking! Yes, even our minds can have a mind of their own. 

NO WONDER SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SEEMINGLY CONFUSED AND LOST TODAY! THE PRACTICE OF ASKING CHILDREN TO MAKE ADULT DECISIONS IS WRONG! THERE IS A NATURAL PROCESS THAT ALL OF LIFE GROWS THROUGH CALLED MATURITY! THE TIME REQUIRED FOR MATURING DIFFERS ACROSS VARIOUS SPECIES. HUMANS LIVE LONGER BUT MATURE SLOWER THAN MOST OF NATURE. WE GRADUALLY LEARN AND MAKE DISCOVERIES OVER YEARS! IT''S HARD FOR US AS YOUTHS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT HAVING TEACHING OR EXPERIENCES THAT ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES AND CHANGES THAT MUCH OF LIFE BRINGS TO US. THERE ARE SOME "THINGS" THAT CANNOT BE PROCESSED PREMATURELY. IT ALWAYS TAKES US TIME TO PROCESS AND TO BOTH ACTUALLY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANINGS OF OUR CHOICES ALONG WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS BEHIND THEM. BOTH GROWTH AND MATURITY ARE A STEP-BY-STEP GRADUAL PROCESS. ASKING A YOUNG INEXPERIENCED NAIVE CHILD HOW THEY IDENTIFY GENDER WISE, BEFORE THEY EVEN REACH PUBERTY IS RIDICULOUS! HOW CAN AN IMMATURE INDIVIDUAL MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PROCESS INFORMATION THAT REQUIRES ADVANCED AGE AND UNDERSTANDING? ISN'T THIS WHY WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AGES OF CONSENT FOR ANY AND ALL SEXUAL ACTIVITY OR INTERCOURSE WITH A MINOR? ISN'T THIS WHY THERE IS A MINIMUM AGE TO BUY CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL? ISN'T THIS IS WHY THERE'S A MINIMUM AGE FOR DRIVING, VOTING AND PARTICIPATING IN MOST "ADULT LEVEL" ACTIVITIES? IT'S OBVIOUS THAT "FREE MORAL AGENCY" WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF "INFORMED CONSENT?"

"INFORMED CONSENT" IS A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS A PERSON TO MAKE VOLUNTARY DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION AFTER BEING EDUCATED BY AN AUTHORIZED PERSON OR PROVIDER REGARDING THE RISKS, BENEFITS AND ALTERNATIVES OF A CHOICE, INTERVENTION OR PROCEEDURE. IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE AND STANDARD IN MEDICAL ETHICS AND LAW. IT IS THE BASIS OF ANY CONTRACT, GUARANTEE OR WARRANTEE. YES, "INFORMED CONSENT" IS CONSIDERED A CENTRAL REQUIRED COMPONENT TO MOST EVERY CLIENT, CUSTOMER, END-USER, AND/OR PATIENT, TO "PROFESSIONL" TRUST. "INFORMED CONSENT" RESPECTS INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY, CHOICE AND FREE WILL. ​

SPIRITUAL STANDARDS MUST BE CONSIDERED AS STRONGLY AS NATURAL ONES!

There are no positions to maintain or sides to take in these matters. Whether we look at this from an ethical, legal, moral, religious or scientific standpoint, the conclusions should be the same. Some issues do not require compromise only correction. Let's look beyond our own views regardless of what they are and exercise common sense and logic. This is an appeal to common decency as well as to compassionate humanity. Spirit has no known boundaries. Most everyone acknowledges spirits existence in one form or another. We can come together in the "spirit of unity" to codify and keep certain standards regardless of our individual beliefs. Please consider the principles presented in this post with the positions we take in every aspect of life!
