Got the car, and got $220 groceries from New World, and Bissell carpet and upholstery cleaner, $50 from The Warehouse. The house smells wonderful when I clean the carpets and mats, but the upholstery has not been cleaned in like forever, so I want to go over all the upholstery to rid the house of all dusty smells and so on with the carpet cleaner which cleans couches and chairs etc.
I had that same strange experience again at the lake. But this time dark skinned females, young, staring at me, all with guys of around their age or older. One was constantly peering (very obviously) over the guys shoulder while they sat at one of the lake tables. Others walking, and a few more at tables. And a blonde with a ponytail and two dogs, she wouldn’t go all around the lake, just hung around by the road.
I enjoyed the ride. Thats two today. Got up some good speed on the second ride, some long stretches with no people so I was able to hoon..
I saw this years ago. An Officer and a Gentleman. USA VPN. Hardly remember it though. Back to practice.
With Silambam and Kalari, I learned the hand arm skills of swinging the staff the Indian way, and then the leg stances, just putting them together now.
I have always been considered a slow learner, but I think that a lack of confidence and home struggles when younger was why I struggled to learn, change the environment and its much easier to learn new skills. I enjoy the warmups and the cool-downs, and the stretches, they are helpful, but I also do other full body stretches as well.
In Karate we moved forward totally different to Silambam and Kalari, so I an emptying my cup, my mind of the old skills and learning the new.
In the Bible they made out that God caused the Deluge/Flood, but the reality is that the people and their evil immoral ways caused the flood, they were simply giving the planet to Satan to destroy – all children etc would have been legally abused as children and so on. But, in order to make it look like God was the blame, the writers of the Bible wrote”
Genesis 9:11-16 ERV. This is my promise to you: All life on the earth was destroyed by the flood. But that will never happen again. A flood will never again destroy all life on the earth.” And God said, “I will give you something to prove that I made this promise to you.
It is humans with Satanic desires and faith to Satanic living that cause their own destruction and suffering on Earth, thus they are living in-Hell. Hell, is the term used to explain the horror that we cause ourselves by being Narcissistic, greedy, hateful, unforgiving, nasty, and so on, we get what we deserve whether we are good or bad.
Humans wrote the Bible, and they wrote the Bible as history has been written, by the victor, by those with the most money, by those who had the most power, thus, written by those who were materialistic and had the most power, and they new of the Prophets and the power that the Prophets had with the general folk, so they lead the writings in a direction that suited the army captains (to enlist religious folk to fight), or anything that they could to have the masses form a belief that the Prophets of the past and God supported the modern (of that time) beliefs and supported the powers that be.
Many wonderful writings were still put in the Bible of what people truthfully believed of the Prophets, but basically its lies mixed with truth, thus God has been seriously Character Assassinated through time, as all His Prophets were as well.

I have forgiven many people and some have never apologised.
It doesn’t really bother me too much generally.
But if someone really wants my true respect and friendship then they need to repent for what they have done and apologize, then I know that they care, are honest, genuine and that their friendship comes from the heart.

If we don’t obey God, God can make our lives very uncomfortable, or even chastise us.
According to history the world back in the caveman days was vicious, people warred, killing from then to now. How do you expect that love still exists???
Science makes out that by luck we had violent countries at some time and then magically they were peaceful times. people are pretty dim, they need to be shown, guided, and brought back to good from their evil ways. Look how easily Hitler sucked in millions.
Because God has to use people like you and I to realize what is wrong and then to step out and change the world. But we are not good enough to do it until we face our own biggest challenge, and until then God will not stop badgering us to change and finally do what we were born to do. There is only two exit doors, one to follow God on to glory or take the path of death and shame.
I like this because it is true. We must go against the flow sometimes to make headway and change our own world. With no risks there will be no change. Its like carving out of wood – if there is no work being done and no effort then there will be no carving.
It takes imagination to see the finished result and dream of the successful completion. And we can imagine what good will come from the efforts and the risks of buying the materials etc. We must take the risks to make it work and then once we have made the first steps then we must put our total heart and soul into the effort to follow it through to completion.
In other words if you want a better life you have to rock the boat within you and inspire it to action! It is YOU that has to get YOU moving and taking the right steps to your personal freedom! 2012.
We are not to judge people. We all know that, right? So who is to judge us right now, here today, right at this moment? You are supposed to judge yourself.
The preacher/pastor/therapist types etc is supposed to help us remove addictions, bad opinions, bad attitudes, and materialism from our minds as well as baggage from the past. This can take some time with the average person.
We know that moving into a new relationship with the negative baggage from the past will simply destroy the next relationship and add more negative baggage to both people.
○
If the preacher helps the person remove this baggage then the marriages will not breakup, people will have new loving relationships, people will not commit suicide because their self-worth will be restored and they will become new from dealing with the past with a positive encouraging manner etc.
The preacher is supposed to “enlighten our minds” to what went wrong in the past, and to ensure us that we were victims of a lost society – that makes us innocent and we can forgive ourselves easier, as well as find out what went wrong and how to remove that baggage. This is called the spiritual healing of the soul.
As we progress, this “enlightenment” from the preaching will wake us up to what is wrong in our life, and what is causing us to struggle, and what caused us to do the silly things that we did in the past.
As we make a new discovery about the past, or an addiction (that we may not have known that we had) or a problem area in our life, we can judge ourself and realise with wisdom that the only way that this problem can be solved is if we do something about the problem.
When people are Society-Lost, they tend to be insecure, and with that insecurity they tend to be sensitive about what people say to them. So if a Christian walks up to someone and points out their faults, addictions etc this will make the sensitive insecure person get their back up in self-righteous anger and argue back. Not good comes from this whatsoever.
I know a pastor who kept doing that, he would go to their homes, tell them off (due to some sin that he had noticed, like unmarried couples etc) and somehow expect them to come back to his church on their hands and knees grateful that he had judged them – the way he spoke to them did not help in the slightest. All he succeeded in doing was shrinking the congregation as each insecure person departed from what they saw was an arrogant preacher. And in doing this he turned more people from God than towards God.
The wise way to deal with everyone is to let them come to the discovery of what is causing them problems in their life, then they will not be offended and they will honestly seek genuine help.
Then once they have made a new discovery we should encourage them with good help, and support. Standing with someone, side by side, gets results, good positive helpful soul-saving results.
Please see the positive side of letting people make their own discoveries (even if it is your own children), and be their with all your love, kindness and commitment to help them get through it (If you know what you are doing or have been through this yourself).
○
Please let people judge themselves.
Please encourage people to look further and discover causes for their problems.
Please help people find their own solutions with your encouraging loving guidance.

“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.” – Mother Teresa.
○
As Mother Teresa discovered the greatest change in a country comes from the ground floor, from the hard working people, not from the political people who have their own agendas.
○
Start changing your world by starting on yourself, and the family, and then the community. Your love for others will shine through, your charity. kindness etc will make a difference like a torch light in a dark night.
You will find opposition from those who have sold their souls to old ways of materialism and money. They can’t see the light because they are focused on the darkness. And sadly it is their dark tactics that they use to try to remove the Light in the world.
○
So be careful, decent, innocent, and be wise and shine a Light so bright that the world will notice. The leaders are not going to help, they have lost the meaning of life and what we truly need, their focus is on money and materialism, and not the hearts and souls of the voters.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” — Morrie Schwartz.
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. – Nora Ephron.
It is easy to believe that someone who wants sex with you wants all of you, the past, your soul, your baggage, but that is in no way true, hence all the divorces of these modern times.
In fact, if someone you want is not after your body that is probably a decent sign that you have someone who cares for you, wants the best for you, but is not going to use you body for sex, but instead for love.
Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it. – C. JoyBell C.
Loving someone doesn’t need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone, it’s called “LIKE” and if you cannot explain, its simply called “LOVE”. – Author Unknown.
There in front of us a big obstacle, strong, sturdy, and seemingly impossible to get over.
What is even worse, is that we know that the mountain in front of us is only in our mind, and its size is based on our imagination, anxiety, worries and fears.
Other people, and yourself, have built up this mountain based on little fact, and mostly just guesswork. The mountain is not real, it can’t be touched or seen. It holds no truth. It only holds the fears that you and others created, and it holds a lot of wild guesses, questions that have no answers, fears that have no truthful foundation.
As long as we allow the mountain power in our life then it will stop us progressing through life. Our life will never reach the next step to happiness. It is time to see the mountain for what it really is. Then it will crumple and fade away into its true worth, nothing.
○
True, once you take down the mountain you will still feel nervous and worried, but that is fine because you have had the courage all along to face this challenge. Go for it, make your dreams come true.
There is nothing more satisfying than making your life count for something worthy and important, and also enjoying the true rewards for your courage to face reality and to face the challenge before you. You will respect and love yourself for having a go.

I was trying to encourage some depressed and anxious people the other day to try to change instead of giving up on their lives. One of the things I said to try to motivate them was that life was hard for them now and it is not going to get easier if they do nothing to change, but if they try to change their lives positively life will still be hard for a while, but there is a reward, and that is in the end of the struggles the rest of their lives will be without depression, anxiety etc. So there is a reward at the end of the struggle if they try, if they don’t try there is no reward and no happiness, just struggle. – 2019.
A police officer (who had special training in how to interview witnesses) once told me that a lying witness can tell a credible story starting with A and ending with Z, but not the other way around. When told to repeat the story, but to start with the end and finish with the beginning, they fail. To lie “backwards” is very, VERY difficult. – Paula Hirseland.
From birth our life is of development, change, growing physically, in soul and mentally.
We are creatures of continuous growth, so that we learn and never stop learning. With that we are able to cope, create, invent, help others, become useful to ourselves and to other people.
With personal development we gain knowledge and wisdom, and clearly knowledge and wisdom help us greatly in life, while also we grow in empathy, heart, and care for others, especially the innocent and the less fortunate.
If we desire knowledge, wisdom and continued personal growth we should be open-minded, adaptable, careful and mature. Its all for personal well being.

It’s a criminal offence to obstruct a police officer or encourage another person to obstruct or resist a police officer. For this you can be jailed for up to three months, or fined up to $2,000.
This isn’t limited to physically interfering with an arrest – it can include giving false information, warning a friend who has committed an offence that the police are coming, or refusing to follow a lawful instruction.
Forming a human chain can be used to make it more difficult for individuals to be arrested. However, be aware that in some cases this could amount to the offence of obstructing the police.

Make sure that when you make your choices that they are really your choices and not the choices of people trying to tell you how to live and what to do with your life.
The basics are, you are the only on who knows how you want to live your life, But, other people can convince you to see life their way and you make the choices that they suggest, nudge or groom you into wanting.
It is Okay for you to Dream dreams that others don’t dream.
Your life is yours to enjoy, make, live and vision.
You don’t need anyone’s permission to be you, you only need to be the real genuine you to be genuinely happy.
You don’t need to try to keep up with others, or have a career, or even to have lots of money.
What you need to have is faith in yourself, and the courage to make what your heart wants come true.

Not bad for a man who is 60 years old. (62 now in 2025)
When the world around you is unable to understand, they think that it is you who cannot understand, so you are where they lay the blame, after all they think that they cannot all be wrong.
But they can all be wrong, that is the point.
