Watching: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
I am completely convinced that the reason why Evil exists has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with humans allowing Evil to exist.
Materialism creates the illusion that Evil is not here, that there is no evil, and even in the case of a serious car accident, sitting trapped in the car, blood leaking from the body, limbs broken, we are told to accept this as normal, just bad luck and all that.
If we participate in Evil (Satanic activities and Satanic living – ungodliness) we humans are quick to find some way to justify what happened, and to remind ourselves that “we are just human, and everyone makes mistakes) thus its all just a foolish thing that we did or do, and God forgives us all anyway, so just get on with life, living on the fence partaking in goodness and evil.
It is the Avoiding Guilt, Lack of Remorse, Blame Shifting, Turning a Blind Eye, being unaccountable in our own eyes/minds, and so on, that we allow Evil to exist, grow, become stronger, and feast on our young.
The reason why Maturity was so strong, wanted needed, and a part of entire communities in the past was because the value of being Mature meant a more sinless world with people wanting to be accountable, responsible, and deeply disliking Immature ways, foolishness, and sinful living.
The store-bought staffs that you can get have smooth ends when they are tapered, but I prefer on my home made staffs that the tapered ends are not smooth. So I taper them down by hand with a Draw Knife, and then I leave them as they are, all rough and rugged, so that they offer grip when I walk with them or use them for staff fighting practice, same for the Kali Sticks and so on. It may not look pretty, but they are very good for grip.
I use oil instead of varnish, as varnish makes them far too slippery.
I always find videos like this fascinating – and often I find myself watching the video with my mouth open because i am in wonder about the process being used to achieve a certain task and the amazement how its don, especially the old ways of doing things when making things was an actual art in itself. In the video below its obvious the lack of safety gear like safety goggles and lack of hearing protection.
If you wish everyone love, then true love will transform them and give them hope, comfort, courage, desire, and a happiness that cold hearted people have no idea even exists. So, please, keep praying that people find true love and that it will change their life for the better, forever, because true love is really what that person needs more than anything that ever was or will be.
The latest stereo amplifier that I am repairing (Haven’t turned it on yet) had some very tricky screws hidden in the front panel to make it harder to open for the DIYers. Its a Kenwood KA-501 high speed integrated amplifier. They are very nice machines, but the one I got was a total mess, to vacuum the inside took a fair while, as it looks like it was stored in an old shed or something, but once cleaned the inside is far nicer, and no damage, not even the caps is obvious, so they may turn out good, but probably should be replaced anyway.
I did notice that a selector switch was disconnected.
Back in the day, the electronics repair shops, I had some big battles with some of them in the past, would take your TV, amp or whatever for repairs and then they would cut wires inside or disconnect something and then when you went back in they would tell you how the connector or switch had died while in the shop and that the amp was “just not worth repairing, too expensive to repair, but we do have some nice new amps that you may want to see.” Its like up-selling, but they wrecked the item first.
I was helping a friend with a VCR and she took the VCR, I had previously looked at and told her what needed repairing (I didn’t have the parts), to a local Tokoroa electronics repair shop, and she was told when she went back that the VCR was broken and would she like a new VCR to replace it and so on, and she was on welfare and could not afford thousands of dollars for the new VCR.
What came from this was that the local electronics shop refused to give her back the VCR, and after a battle they finally returned it, I looked inside and found about 4 groups of wires cut so that the VCR was never going to work again. Its like a recent video I saw showed how roofing and carpenter businesses go to your house to give you a quote on your roof repairs and then claiming that the entire roof needs replacing, and in reality only a few low cost repairs needed doing. The company gets a big job to complete, costing the customer many thousands of dollars.
This sort of thing is very common in the South Waikato with the people trusting the so-called experts and if they are told that something is broken they accept that and get in to dept trying to pay for the repairs, for stuff that does not even need repairing.
I think that the local Tokoroa electrical, plumbers, mechanics and so forth staff and technicians are so used to lying to customers that they have no issues lying to everyone else. Its appalling the sneaky tactic’s (lies mixed with truth and omitting other ways to make repairs that are much cheaper) that they will tell people to make more money.
I remember with my GT, taking it to a garage, and every warrant that garage claimed that it needed a ball-joint replaced, I got tired of it and went to a truck mechanic and he told me that there were ball-joints that were in the car from when it was made, the local Tokoroa mechanic was lying to customers claiming to fix things and never doing it, but you still paid for the parts and the repair bill. This outfit is still thriving here, and all the gullible customers getting duped.
A lot of people today are talking about the perfect music of today, music that has been digitally messed with to make it pitch perfect, like Swifts concerts being prerecorded, but I had not realised that it was so bad. Thus, the likes of Pet sounds and music of the 1990s backwards are being recorded again and the sound quality is made better, but that is not what we want, we want t6he original recordings.
Recently, about 3 months ago, I noted that Colin’s car, LCN90 has a CD player, so I have been making music CD’s and playing them when I drive around for work. JTS6, the car I used to drive had a CD player, but the volume was terrible, very low. LCN90 has very good volume, thus a good car Amplifier, and I have been putting together CD’s and just playing them as I drive around in the order that they have been recorded in. So no random songs off my cell phone.
I don’t have many CD’s, but Colin has a few, much more than me.
This is the cat I feed, or one of them. This is a wild cat. I can’t get near him and if I try he gets very upset at me. But I am allowed to feed him.
Last night
Being stalked
The song was tainted by the album cover that should never have been allowed by the record company and caused strife.

Come down off your throne means come off your high horse, because as long as your ego, pride and vanities own you, you will never recognize your own faults or your own addictions, or maybe even our own evils. One must look deep within to find themselves so deeply in fact that the truth will set them free.
Ain’t got the time could mean – I am going to die, or getting old and die, or something definite and possibly destructive is on the way and time is important.
The one who holds the key is the reason why he has been waiting so long and suffering. The key-holder must change and this has the same effect as unlocking the door to the problem and setting them free.
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone. Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting so long. Somebody holds the key. But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home. Come down on your own and leave your body alone. Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting all these years. Somebody holds the key.
Your life is your own life. You choose what to believe, and what boundaries you want to protect the life you want, and values that you believe in.
Weak-minded people like to pressure us into following their rules and lifestyle. The pressure is uncomfortable, it is supposed to be uncomfortable because that is the result of being bullied. They use tactics like guilt, shame, and narcissist bullying, to get us to become like they are. Especially if we once were like them in the past.
But we pay the price for their bully tactics if we give in. And we lose respect for ourself, we feel ashamed and weak-minded if we give in – giving in is just not worth it, and “giving in it should never be an option”.
The best idea when people put the big-pressure on is to cut-off conversation and the relationship with that person/s. Otherwise they will just make you feel miserable. Respect yourself, and demand that they respect your lifestyle, your feelings, your boundaries and your beliefs.
There is no bullying in love, remember that. Even family can become bullies. Please never let family, friends, abuse your relationship with them, because after a while they will get used to it and then accept that can push you around all the time – and they get very upset when you don’t follow them.|

Be strong and firm from the start. It is your life.

This is the time of year when a lot of relationships breakup, and others are created.
The whole idea about creating boundaries and being very strong and firm on them is to know who you are, what you demand of yourself and your life, who you want to associate with, and what type of future that you desire to have regardless of what the world throws at you.

You see, in the past the parents brought up their children with good values and taught the children what to look for in a partner that they would have for life. So the parents showed the children, and young teenagers, over a period of years the results of a decent life and the results of a careless life. The parents themselves lived that good example. And the parents taught the children that both lifestyles had a price and rewards.
Once a young person had a set of personal life goals set on a good foundation of good parenting they knew who they would tolerate in their life, and what they wouldn’t tolerate. In other words they were young, with strong boundaries, and not fools that would be easily seduced to foolishness with their lives.
The result was long lasting, happy marriages, and good children from those marriages.
A person can go to a party with alcohol and drug abuse as the normal activities and will (in the state of being stoned or drunk – not able to think clearly and caught up in the party atmosphere) see a physically attractive person who is stoned or drunk and “hitch-up” for the evening for some fun, just possibly the night, and even maybe for the weekend. It is all “hit and miss” and extremely illogical, based on the party habits etc.
But the most scary part is that before they have any idea about the other persons character they have sex (they don’t even know if the other person has a sexual disease). Then as the days go by they find out bits and pieces about each others character. But if the sex is something that they both like, the sex can hold them together for a while (or if they are insecure and clingy, or she becomes pregnant) and a bitter and angry relationship can be the result.

The point I am making is that many relationships these days are “hit and miss”, and people just hope that something meaningful and sexual will come from the relationship. But because the two don’t have a good strong foundation of good values under them their personal character flaws, emotional turmoils, previous relationship baggage, insecurities, etc will destroy the relationship. This is why there are so many relationship breakups and divorces in these times.
The reality is also that they truly don’t know one another at all. And that is why after 5 years together, they have a couple of children, and one realises that he or she doesn’t like the other person much at all. And from that point the relationship turns sour, destroying the happiness of the children and bitter breakups destroy the relationship of the parents. The one who is now disliked asks in shock, “What changed your mind about me? What have I done wrong?” etc, but the truth is that one of them woke up to what the other persons character is really like.

I found my ex-wife in a drinking environment, and I was really desperate for someone to care for me and love me. I had just been dumped from one relationship, and I thought that I needed someone to keep me feeling that I was wanted, to keep me secure and safe. The reality was that I was so miserable and unconfident in my marriage. Lesson learned.
If you want yourself, your future children or current children to have a happy life, you need to teach yourself and them about boundaries so that they won’t take a risk with someone that they know nothing about. I have to say that honestly a 5 year relationship that is miserable does a lot to damage a person’s self confidence, happiness and personal self esteem.
The whole idea about creating boundaries and being very strong and firm on them is to know who you are, what your limits are, what you demand of yourself and your life, who you want to associate with, and what type of future that you desire to have regardless of what the world throws at you.

In healthy relationships all people respect one another’s views.
There is no slavery in love.
There is no domineering love relationship. Love is equal opportunity, a well balanced relationship where both cares whether the other has a say.
Both people want to hear what the other has to offer in any conversation. Love and respect brings forth fast apologies and just as fast forgiveness. Love is like that.
If someone holds some form of control or power over someone else and enforces this power, this is not love – this is not love from a caring heart and soul.

For various reasons a person can find ways to convince themself that the person that they love (partner, mother and father etc) is hard on them because they care, or because they love them so, or because they are unworthy of anything better. Accepting a narcissist as a lover will not make anyone happy. Narcissists don’t know what genuine love is.
○
We are all worthy of a new beginning and a chance at a life of freedom. Any form of control, bullying, slavery, power over a person is signs of an unhealthy relationship that will only bring misery in the future.
The only escape is to realize that something is wrong when people say that they love us but are constantly directing our life. We must face the fact that we could be being abused and manipulated by someone we love, and and that the only way to freedom is to get away from the power controller/narcissistic person.
○
Why must you get away?
Because under that person’s guidance you cannot gain self confidence and courage because they have an illness that they cannot stop themselves from using on you.
You can love them, you can trust the promises of change that they make, but bullies, controllers, narcissistic types won’t keep them, they can’t help themselves, they are mentally troubled and have false beliefs that they live by.
○
We find that we have to get tough on ourself and stand up to the other people and then take back our life. Then no matter what they say to you, you must now get away. If you don’t get away life will just continue to be miserable for you and you will never get the chance to grow in confidence or courage because they guide your life.
You must guide your own life. Only then can you find freedom. That is what we are born to experience, freedom to choose, freedom to live our own way, freedom to form our own views, freedom from tyranny, freedom to experience life as an adventure, and to reach out to others freely and happily shining your internal positive light for all to see.

Start by believing in yourself even while those around you are convinced that you are not of intelligence. A lot of my life people seemed to enjoy ganging up on me and informing me that I was basically stupid, from early school right up to my thirties.
Read a lot, watch a lot of video’s, seek help from people who are interested in what you are interested in, and do challenge yourself, get into hobbies and activities that you have always wanted to do and not yet tried.
The more you fill your mind of good quality information (and less entertained) the more that your mind will think, investigate, come up with new and exciting ideas, and learn.
The foolish, they take part in foolish activities and then they celebrate their foolishness, don’t be one of them, be a thinker, be a person who avoids foolishness, looks after the mind, body and soul, and in intent on making the world a better place after you have passed on.
