He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

     I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and staff they comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies

Thou annointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life 

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  

Influence of the World.

INFLUENCE OF THE WORLD

Everything is influencing our being, people, animals, TV Shows, even the weather.

20-30 yrs ago I watched TV shows and when I see the rerun I realize how much I learned and I am following them.  So are books, I read them long time ago, still I believe and follow their teachings.

The Bible showed me the way, when I was unhappy I went with Moses in the wilderness only my time was about 20 yrs and his was 40.  Then another thing grabbed me when I was reading about Elijah, who never died, but walked up to Heaven.  OH how I would like to do that too.

Then I figured out, that the Psalms are teaching us to glorify and thank God, because if we can believe that He is good to us, then only good comes into our life.   Now I call everything "Good", because I found out that the challenges what we get are created by us, for the reason, that we have to learn of that lesson.  Then the other thing grabbed my mind is the Proverbs, where the Law is put down, how to behave to be civilized and have a good life by being good to others.

The other most important in my life is the TAO, the Chinese book of the Way of Life, which has a great impact in my being.

The TV shows are teaching me more respect for others and honor who need honor, get a better hobby then gambling and drinking and don't be so fast to destroy others.

Our family members are the nearest to us, they sure influence us.  There are so many problems in the families, parents against children, children against the parents, when one is given out by the mother who cannot keep the child, will search in all his life to find the real parents, and never appreciating the one mother who raised him/her up. Then the child who had hard life can hate the parents or appreciate, so is the one who grew up in a soft, easy surroundings, will blame the parents forever that they were not enough strong. 

Life is very interesting we follow teachings from the beginning of our life and sometimes we do not even know why, until we get a better explanation we do not change.

What to do?//////   Just go on and learn what comes, find your own logic and follow it.  That is your part in life, and not to object and oppose everything, blame others when you attracted that what is there.

Art, what is Art?

In the beginning, when man started to be aware of his existence there were some who could draw pictures on the cave walls, showing  the life they had in that moment.

Later there were more and more artist, but most of them had very low self esteem, so he starved in all his life, because he was not strong enough to work for his living,  had a bad temper, but  leaned on others pity,  starved, had many sickness and died.  However, later in life some smart business man found the way to glorify his pictures and made great profit for themselves.  The better salesman they were, the more money they made on that original artist.

Today the rich people has all these great valued  paintings, some locks it up in his mansion, some puts it into the museum, and glorifies those to the highest, when in reality it is not even real, it is a distorted thing what a child can do, today.  The today photography is at least real.  And they are so proud of the millions worth of distorted things, what was made according to the feeling of a man, who was weak, sick,little nuts and was not able to do any work, just freeload on someone else.

As humanity goes on, makes an ART of everything: eating, drinking, clothes, and have more and more new creations of his weakness.

Art of eating is going on and on, people tries everything and fills his/her stomach with impossibble of variations of all kind of, whatever there is and calls it delicious.  Many gets fat and certainly die sooner then their time would be from all that delicious stuff.

They make an art of smoke, drink, drugs, who cannot afford drugs when they are young, they create some sickness, that their brain could be blown out and not to face life.  Because all creates a mental lazy attitude, that they don't care a dam until they are under the influence.  The problem is, that next morning they wake up, they have to face the same life challenge. This is like run away from life, when they are in constant depression, blaming everybody, everything even the country for their own weakness.  However, nobody found solution for that so far, it is up to the person to get strong and face life, or take the consequences, which will come sooner or later.

In the school every child  learn to do some art, which they do not need, however when they get old, they can turn back to it for a hobby.  Every hobby is good, takes the brain away from thinking, just like music, meditation, ball games, chess, when you have to beat the other, and so every sport where the motto is to beat the other.  Only they do not think that the winner will be hated for ever, envied, from the others .

Games are all right for fun, but not for winning of one self-centered dictator and many many losers, whose life will be shattered for good.

When humanity finds a good way to  get along with each other, respect each other and take each other as the child of God, there will be need for recreation, and fun, but not beating each other or humiliating each other.

Essay   ----   About Religions--------2017

Long time ago religious leaders managed to  be advisors beside the earthly kings, rulers.
The monks and the priests managed to gather great worldly treasures, in the meantime they stayed humble, acting poor, but enjoying the beauty of the treasures, just like the rich today, gathering everything what they could from the rich and so from the poor.  In the meantime they had to make money for living too, so they made wine, the nuns used pregnant poor or run away girls for labor in their laundry, and kept the population pretty well under control, teaching them to be humble, the poor must suffer and when they die they go to heaven, where they meet their loved ones and live happily ever after.

    Those who had a relative in the upper class could progress, many got their riches from robbing tombs, or even  churches, which later become inheritance for the rich brets, who never learned to appreciate it just waiting for the old man to get out of their way.

     In this moment the Pope is the greatest King Ruler in the world, because the Vatican  is his own country, and  1/3rd of the world population is catholics who sends him their tax, giving to the church, who do not pay tax to the country, 20 %  income keeps the priest supplied, 40 % goes to the bishop and 40 % goes to the Pope, the king, smart not to get into politics, do not have military, only 1-200 Swiss body guards he keeps, keeps the people quiet, which is not working all the time, when 2 religion fights,  or kill each other, like the Jews, the Muslems, the Christians and the other religions.

     Great, rich church  buildings went from one religion to another, like in Spain in several hundred years.  Jews, Muslems Christians and others killed each other and took over sometimes that same church building with all the treasures intact and growing.

     In the meantime out in the world the rich fights for leadership in the countries, trying  to get richer  in their ruling time, fighting with each others country, blaming, hating the others. But long time ago the king or the leader went first into the fight in the war, today they play chess game and send their people out to die.

     Again in the meantime the stronger bullies the other, all "good" wants to turn everybody "good",  when they are the real "bad" and creating more hostility, telling that others are all sinners.

     The "bad" is doing what they feel and do not care of the consequences, so they must do it, because another attracts it with their thinking and wishes. They are the ones who do the LAW of LIFE.

     Most people do not say what they are thinking, wallowing in their rightousness and if someone tells them their truth, they get angry, revengeful, or never talk to that person.

        This is the World today. this is why there is so many sickness and trouble, killings, and destroying each other.

Lasoaphia-A Message to Me and to You.

As the Bible says, learn wisdom, get understanding,

This is the only way to life's going.

Let the sun shine over your head,

Under the  blue sky find your homestead.

The green grass under your feet,

Give you great hope in goodness,

When you learn, there is no good or bad, 

Just life lessons endless.

Always expect the best and learn from everything,

Face what comes calmly, do what you possibly can, 

And it will turn into a blessing.

Life or death, health or sickness, all are in your hand,

When you know who you are, you'll be humble

And you will know where you stand.

You'll know how to live life truthfully, 

In peace, health, wisdom and forever gloriously.

Lasoaphia-Is There a Reason?

 

There is a pattern in what happens to us.  The question is to figure out what the pattern is.  Every second of our life we are creating something with our thinking.  Good or bad, all comes from the fruits of our thinking.

Humanity is in connection with each other.  The theater, the movies, TV's and videos, all want to tell humanity that a tragic end, a nuclear war is coming with cruelty, roughness, maybe some kindness, goody-goodyness dropped in the middle, followed by the biggest tragic and if the writer is positive, ends up with finding peace, freedom and happiness only for the young couple in the middle of rubbles and deaths.  They try to persuade the public, that it has to happen, rubbing it in that light comes after the darkest and everybody has to die.  Is it?, Should it?

In reality I believe, that when we become like little children, forgive the past, forgive all who was not kind to us, that is the reborning and we do not have to die, we can live our life in peace and true happiness here, where we are now.  To that we have to learn discipline, kindness and find the self confidence, that whatsoever we do, it is necessary for our own lessons, and the lessons will follow us all our life until we are in this realm.

We hear these over and over:

Do not lean upon your own understanding,

Always follow your feelings.

If you have no decision, know that it is not time to decide yet, which means, do not let yourself be pushed into something, which is not your idea.  Only if you see the logic that it is really  better then what you thought out.
