As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
Issue 6: Skyrocketing?
I paid a man to cut my grass about 3 weeks ago. No, this is important so stay focused. As the grass lay cut I noticed that a number of ‘those’ weeds sprung up. The ones with the ‘heads of lint’ that you can pull up and blow away with a strong breath. I know you know where I’m going with this. In that moment a reinforcement of a truth was again raised in my thoughts from all the years of learning.
‘New things introduced into your environment have a definitive probability, whatever it may be, of leaving a substantial mark on your life’.
Now it was not intentional like the scriptural passage of someone mischievously planting tares amongst wheat, but the lesson is descriptive to us in what it meant to teach us. What you allow in your life as in the place where your food is planted has consequences. Good or bad depending on what your intentions were when you introduced the ‘circumstance’ into your life. Read St. Matthew 13.
Moving on. The point is that everything exists in the world as is. There is good and there is evil. There are no barriers between the two. It is simply a choice. Know that evil, it is there. Therefore pick wisely amongst the ‘fruit’ choices of the world, or simply choose the ‘evil’, in other words, the tares, and let a lifetime of harvesting useless ‘fruit’ that is set to be burned be your legacy. It is all, tares, that Donald J. Trump offers the fools that chose to seek his ‘gifts’. Fodder for the flame.
Yes, just like the food we eat we also eat from, consume from, the energy of the people around us. Oh, there he goes again with the metaphysical. That’s right!
So listen. Sun Tzu, The Art of War, basically says that, ‘if you are up against an enemy with a scatterbrained temper, just irritate the fuck out of him or her. Feint weakness so your enemy can grow arrogant’.
Huh? Let me think. Of the two countries being the United States and Iran. Which country has the arrogant leader? Take your own logical guess.
CIVIL ACTION NO. 26-CI-00243
Check that out. I come to every fight with God. My opponent came to the fight with the Devil. Guess who won? If that is too tricky a question to answer for you, I suggest you get some spiritual counseling quickly!
My Momma, God rest her soul, told me in the projects of Tom Browne Village in the Community of Avondale in the City of Birmingham, Alabama that I had a hard head and a big mouth that would get me in trouble one day. Mother spoke the truth. You know what my Mother didn’t tell me? That when God stumbled and poured the whole pitcher of ‘Defiance’ over my head when he was creating me, that I would never back down to evil. Ever!
See, that’s the problem with Americans. They love to play ‘hot potato’ with who they chose to vote for to help them. Americans can’t get it through their thick skulls that the Republican Party doesn’t give a rats ass about their plight in this world. All the Bible thumping the Republicans do is bullshit. No? Did they immediately tell Donald J. Trump he wasn’t their ‘god’? Did the Republicans tell Donald J. Trump to not start a war with Iran of all countries? No they didn’t!
The Republicans probably told Donald J. Trump that the Democrats would run scared if you start a war. Oh, wrap yourself in the flag Donald J. Trump. The Democrats wouldn’t say a word in defiance if a thousand soldiers lost their lives for your arrogance.
My mortgage company came after me unjustly. PHH Mortgage, now Onity Mortgage, attempted to foreclose my house. I fought them in court and won.
For me, it is never about material things. Material things cannot love you back. It is not important in that sense. The point is when you are conducting yourself within the law you demand those you’ve contracted with to do the same. Just know that I always believed that anyone putting their mind to it can build a decent single life for themselves. Now if you want more than that, say a family, then you got to have a serious mind coupled with a lot more drive and energy.
Alas, Americans, don’t keep playing ‘hot potato’ with our elected officials. All of us know the Democrats, more than the Republicans, want to build and keep vibrant a society that cares for us all. If you like the Republicans’ viewpoint of ‘every man for himself’. Then keep voting Republican. Looks like it’s going pretty well. Good luck with those ‘skyrocketing’ gas, food and commodity prices. Rich people don’t mind current events at all.
Seems the American people are looking up watching the ‘shovel’ throw dirt on their heads.
Bye Felicia.
