FALSE: OMG! It's is an Epidemic!

"Here's the thing, folks- Our bodies were designed to maintain and repair itself.  In order to do so, you must give it what it needs to function- not just 'oh I ate healthy today' because really you did nothing for yourself, you must refuel your body with what it takes to run as it uses it."



Cancer is going to kill us all...RUN!!!

 People respond to disease in this manner "(insert ailment here) attacked and is killing"... "OMG  (insert ailment here)  is an epidemic."  Cancer is a personified villain roaming the streets taking out the good people.


Cancers, Diabetes, will never be curable.  Pills are great in masking pain, but the truth is, research is just a money making industry.


You must decide here and now your destiny.  This is up to you and you alone.  Natural Selection is already at work and he may have your number on his "next to be called list."


I sit among my fellow humans and observe the behavior and this is what I can report- They don't eat for shit; the live on fast food, pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries and chicken nuggets.  They make fun of brussel sprouts and garlic and free time is vegging out on chips and Oreo's on the couch, while loading up on Red Bull or Budweiser then top it off by smoking cigarettes saying "smoking don't really hurt people."


If this you, Natural Selection has your number and don't be so alarmed when your doctor wants to give you synthetic chemicals to slow the process.

Food, The right food, is a life saver.  But you must act now.

Each of us sat in Health classes.  Each of us learned about the food groups.  Each of us learned there are nutrients in certain foods that are good for us.  Sadly, what we learned in grade school is this- Calcium builds strong bones and you get it from Milk.  Carrots are good for your eyes but mama only puts them in stew.  Greens keep your back straight.  That's probably the extent of it.  Then we looked at a food chart that was in the shape of a triangle (below):

This food chart is directing you BUILD up.  Breads and grains should be the foundation of every meal. Next, add your fruits and veggies then build up accordingly.  The problem with the picture is that it has been viewed by mostly stupid ignorant people and this is how the triangle is interpreted- Fats and sugars are on top of the totem poll, breads and grains are at the bottom.  Don't believe me?  Look at the average dinner plate...........

Here's the thing, folks- Our bodies were designed to maintain and repair itself.  In order to do so, you must give it what it needs to function- not just 'oh I ate healthy today' because really you did nothing for yourself, you must refuel your body with what it takes to run as it uses it.

Being overweight is a symptom, not a condition.  An overweight body is saying "I cannot handle what you are doing to me."  Guys, cut it out- you're giving your body something (or more than enough of somethings) that it cannot pass.  

The system works this way- food goes in mouth, digestion begins.  Digestion is your body coming and looking at what you just gave it, it tears it to pieces like scavengers and taking away valuable finds (hint, nutrients).  After this process, the remains get trashed.  You aim to speed up this process (high metabolism) because the quicker the waste gets out of there, the less time you have for infection setting in the intestines from aging bacteria.  YUCK!  So for this reason, add fiber to your meals.  Fiber makes the waste heavy and it'll pass much faster than when lighter (imagine big kid on water slide versus the little skinny kid).  Promise- Google it :)

Dating Do Nots

I had a difficult time naming this entry because this isn't necessarily a guide to catching a keeper.
It's a "How to Behave" type of entry.

Step outside the box just for a minute and reflect on your behavior in your current courtship, but first, let us look at the facts:

1. You have children

2. You work to provide

3. You are rearing them

4. You cook

5. You have a house

6. You do the laundry, yard work, dishes, clean toilets and floors and take the trash to the dump and even fix crap you despise fixing simply because you have no choice.

7. You pay your bills- on time/ late but you stress and aim to do it- because you have to.

8. I could go on and on

When everything is quiet, you read when you can, watch movies, paint your nails, take a hot steamy baths and go shopping... when you can and if you can afford to... Sometimes, you want a man. Of course! Look at what all is going on! You're alone! Imagine the stress from the list above you could cross out if only you had that partner in life.

So what do you do? This is what you SHOULD NOT DO!!! Don't woo him, flatter him and beg him to be your man. Don't wait for him, caress him and tell him how bad you want him. Why?

I wrote another piece on this- read it- Leader of the Pack

We're all animals on this earth. You are the alpha female. He should pick you out, woo you, flatter you and beg you to be his woman. He should adore you so much that he just can't rest without knowing he'll be taking care of your kids and you.

You have everything in your world. Let him prove himself- and don't go committing your destiny to this guy if he hasn't proved to be the following: to be big enough, strong enough, friendly enough, and smart enough to be the leader of your pack.

Do not chase the man.  Do not invite him out.  Do not ask him to stay. Do not be waiting for him.  Do not stop your routines because you meet someone new.  Do not REARRANGE your calendar or stop everything for HIM.

UNLESS you meet this criteria right here---> you are homeless.

I thought I was done but I must put this out there. If you are single and dating...if you have a home, a job, a car- KEEP THEM! They go by another name- Independence.  Do not drop everything you have in life to be "kept" because at that point- he owns you. DUH.

If you are not married, he should NEVER co sign... on anything. If you can't get it on your own, you don't need it.

We are Wolves!

It's easy to understand families when you learn to understand wolves.  It may also help in the dating world because it's apparent that men and women alike tend to forget their place.  When you know your place, you'll know what you're looking for. I'm sharing the wolves information as taken from another blog, Terrierman's Daily Dose for my comparison.  Do read on!!!

This is describing the make up of a wolf pack- which I compare to human family:

You see, a wolf pack is made up of a single dominant male, a single dominate female, and several satellite females, generally from previous whelps. Male wolves are driven out around or by 18 months of age because by then, the young males of these respective species are big enough to hunt on their own and yet they are also beginning to become potential rivals for females. The top male cannot have that.

It is suppose to work this way in the human world too.  Father, mother, children.  They should leave the home.  period.

Reiterating that you need to prepare your children to be adults.  They must leave the home:

Dominance creates wolf packs and dominance maintains wolf packs. The driving out of adolescent males is at the core of how wolf packs are created and maintained. This is dominance. And it is Wolf Pack 101.

And here's the human mama- she's wolf like too:

What about females? The female wolves in a wolf pack also have their dominance issues. You see with wolves, there may be many mature females in the pack, but there will almost always be only one female who will come into estrus, be mated, and whelp.


How it works.... Pay attention ladies!
How is that "top female" determined? Well, the male picks her, of course (or vice versa if the pack has lost its alpha male). The individual picked is generally the healthiest and strongest female in the group - the one that all the other females are submissive to.


Family started, then what???:
A strong and lucky male may hold a top slot for as long as a decade, but more often that not the top male will die from injuries or disease long before that. And with that male's death, a new male, from outside the pack, will be recruited and a complete out-cross achieved.


Single mama now?  What to do?:
This doesn't happen overnight. A new Alpha doesn't just "get to claim territory,"The Alpha Female of the pack, will let a new alpha male spend about 6 hours, bowing, flexing, strutting, sniffing, and facing down all the females in the pack before he is deemed to be big enough, strong enough, friendly enough, and smart enough to be the leader. And in the end, the older, but still fertile, alpha female can be won over and the old leader's slot be handed to him.


I hope this resonates with you. 

Single ladies,

Stop hunting for your pack leader.  When you're approached by a man, let him bow, flex, strut and all that.  Let him work to get your approval.  Don't just make him leader because he's the first one that comes around!!!

Cure for Allergies

Allergies have risen nearly twenty percent in the last decade- both food,pollen, animal dander alike.

After following my thoughts on the subject I've accepted this idea: Imported fruits and vegetables are to blame for the seasonal/pollen allergy crisis.


It's a known remedy or myth that eating local honey would immunize your system from these threats. 


I bet if we looked into the last hundred years, I imagine these allergies did not exist- why? Because people ate what they grew or bought from a local gardener. 


All fruits and vegetables contain local pollen and when digested, the body is then able to accept/ properly fight off anything harmful before exposure to the respiratory system. 


This is NOT like receiving a flue shot---it's better!


What we have now is imported fruits and vegetables containing pollens and air contaments not common in your residing location. In NC, our markets offer oranges from Florida, grapes from California, corn from Nebraska, and we even partake in exotic fruits outside our continent.


I believe this earth offers only good stuff to keep our bodies healthy, it is up to us to relearn the important factors.

Self

Self becomes reliant on another for life and happiness when the only nourishment source comes from another self that occupies another body. Forming a dependence on having a relationship with another self as means of survival is a mind game one places on his own self.

He becomes depressed when refused happiness but it is self who negotiates and defines what should make him happy.

Self must learn to look out the window at freedom and take hold of the key he’s swallowed that locks him into his own captivity. He must run away from the confines he places on himself. A relationship with another self is great and should be enjoyed, as with all activities. A relationship should never be the ones source of happiness.

Selves are created equally. All selves are supplied with the same ingredients. It's the ability to grow the self that sets him a part from the others. Self reliance is bravery and envied by other selves. Self learns dependency at an early age and it's the strong, successful is the parent who teaches the little selves to be self reliant, to create his own world and to grow it.

Unity is to become one. This cannot exist. Until the self realizes there is no other self to complete the self, he'll never realize his value and purpose. Two cannot become oneself, nor one- whichever he feels he desires. Another cannot complete in one that one needs to fulfill on his own. Completeness is created in the mind by self nourishment.

Follow your thoughts and dreams because that is your expression of life.
One's role model should only be those who are self reliant.

Self is responsible for his learning. Knowledge is free. Schooling is the foundation for methodical learning and a degree is but a label of establishment in order to impose a learning.

Learn how to learn. Teach how to learn. Encourage to challenge your own abilities.

Breathe.

There is no enemy nor hero but the self.
There is no life but the one experienced by the self and death is the denial of self.
Self can only be caged by his own will.
He can only be victimized by his own will.
He can only be hurt by his own will.
He negotiates his own terms for living and means of happiness.

The Brain is Like the Universe

True liberation is the spirit on the mountaintop arms wide open because no one thing in the world limits its ability to think. 

Break away from the world’s attempts to suppress and repress the soul’s understanding; honor the mind's invigorating motive to explore every outlet of the neocortex.


The mind is as infinite as the universe. You can never reach an end to a thought, you’ll only reach a point of satisfaction of a thought and that happens when you accept an understanding of a subject. 


Knowledge is growing the thought patterns, following them and building them by exploring thought. No thought is erased. No idea is lost as it will resurface in its due time.

Save Humanity, Not the Earth!

I'm considering the "Save the Earth" slogan and really it's is not saving the earth at all, it's "Save Humanity," as pointed out by a friend. 


We're not destroying the earth with our garbage, we're simply making inhabitable over time for the humans. So, I was right- it's not to"Save the Earth" our reasons for going "Green." 


Quite frankly- everything made on earth was made by something of the earth. The earth has and endless supply of all kinds of goodness. 

And just when the earth has had enough, she erupts her volcanos and desolves human work; she releases her winds to reclaim her landscape; she implodes her waters and spits it ashore to digest our efforts to defeat her.

Man will continue to try and dominate the earth, the earth will always prove to be bigger, better, faster, self sufficient and self reliant. She will always win.

Heaven

It is my heaven to be lost in my thoughts with my pen. When in need of inspiration, I return to a book whose author embraces his heaven and invites me into it; it opens up a new window to my heaven.  Glory is the revelation to understand his picturesque language of choice that so intricately defines his heaven to an extent that grows my heaven!  The world is of thought and heaven is experienced as soon as we visit or feel it.  To be filled so fully with wonder and inspiration, to allow the Kingdom of Heaven be realmed inside of us is baptism and this is the true experience of love.

No material thing in this world could ever provide the pleasures of heaven.  Beauty lies within the heart; the mind, not in looks but in the awakening from within.   The world forms us to be outward in action but you must wake up your inside!  Observe, not to judge what you see but to build your heaven.  This is our meaning.  Life is in the waters that flow within!  People are the winds that create the currents, yourself- the boat with a destiny.  Let the waters take you where it may and heaven is the experience of peace!

We long to do things in the flesh- vacations to mountains and coasts, to tropical isles and sunny deserts but that is not where the satisfaction is.  There will only be dissatisfaction in the flesh but the experience in the mind, in the thought, in the language that builds the idea or the dream that creates a smile in the heart.  The answer is within!  No medications, nor foods, nor man's interpretations can satisfy the hunger for heaven and the longing to return to it!

It is a disease that we suffer works, giving ourselves to employers, to works for people and arguments over views of anything.  Once heaven is experienced by anyone, the answer is known to him.  For we long to return to heaven while we are away doing the fleshy things man requires of us.  The pressures we bring upon ourselves, making us slaves to anything, to any person, to any object.

Blessed are the homeless, the jobless, the fatherless, the childless and the friendless.  For the freedom of heaven is his, without interruption!  Nothing pulls him away from heaven to answer to the world.  He is in the world, but not of it and therefore it serves him.  He submits to no one, nor is he forced to be anyone who he isn't.  He lives in his privacy and God is with him.

What man calls disfigurement or deformity is not of the individual for he is most honorable!  Blessed is he whose embodiment is immobile as his expectations to perform in this world is not demanded.  Notice how he smiles!  He may be without communication or expression to tell you about it, but he has it!

How stupid is the one that gets caught up with the world and with performances! Emerson best paints with vocabulary his understanding.  The blessed man invited me to share the secret to heaven.  Seeds are thoughts and oh how they grow! They grow as the reach the paper- never to be forgotten.  Perhaps heaven, of thinking and writing his world, belong to the poet.  But aren't we all poets?   Dreams, imaginations and vacations are a piece of the mind, escape routes from the prisons of the world.

Free is the man locked up in solitude for he is able to experience heaven should he seek it.

Blessed is he who can forget the fears man has instilled in him.  Blessed is he who shows this instruction effectively to his children.  Blessed is the relationship when the couple both embrace heaven and fleshly requirements to fulfill a fleshy need.  Blessed is the humbled spirits and the unison of the two.

Cursed is the worldly man who work for desires.  For heaven will not be gotten.

Pen and Paper

Writing is Love...

Let the pen touch the paper, who longs to feel pen's smooth and simple touch. They were made for each other, for their togetherness is forever permanent unlike the pencil, whose color is gray and dull and forever correcting itself. The paper is true and humble, she accepts the good with the bad, the wrong with the right. Paper lies in wait for her mate who'll forever leave his impression on her heart.

Writing is a Dance...

When pen and paper touch a dance takes place. Paper, the foundation for the pen to show his stuff. His cursive language is beautiful as the curves of the letters seduce the lines- and often crosses them. As the paper smiles, the pen adds a few more curls to his loops and swagger to his moves- Paper to forever remember.

Writing is a Gift...

Because of words a ledger was created, first by pictures and simple symbols serving as instructions or clues then the alphabet took the lead.. Oh how precious it is and the art is overlooked! how we can communicate without speaking. One is never alone as long as he has a pen with no plans and paper looking for a touch and to create a world you don't even have to write much! The new world takes form and it's your duty to explore the new land. Each stroke of the pen adds color across the hills, flowers and clouds fill landscapes and birds take flight into the air. The imagination builds the ship that sail seas and gulls that calls overhead. Beautiful are words. Beautiful are thoughts. Beautiful is the pen and is the paper once you lived on it!

Recording Thoughts

"Follow your thought until you have thought as much about it as you can with the amount of knowledge you posses.  If you are reaching a conclusion on a matter, no matter the matter, let it satisfy you and you alone."

In a day, one can skim over thousands of thoughts.  If thoughts aren't fully thought through, where should they go but forever retained or suppressed into the subconsciousness and forgotten.

The many mini thoughts are perfectly happy in the subconsciousness- they are mostly mental notes of images and activities- snapshots.

But what about the subjects you wish to investigate?  You mustn't let it go, you must consider whatever subject it may be. A broken thought will lead nowhere therefore do not break it.

Record your mental note; write it down.  The road starts paving the way to the final destination; the conclusion.  

A fully thought out idea is a historical movement and shall serve good purposes to the future reader of the recorded thought. He may accept or reject the idea but that is neither here or there as the purpose is to show the reader the thought has been considered to the matter and what you've written shows how far you've gotten with it.

He either adds to the thought, uses the thought elsewhere or the written thought induces a whole other thought.  Recording thought is, in itself, a thought provoking process.

Follow your thought until you have thought as much about it as you can with the amount of knowledge you posses.  If you are reaching a conclusion on a matter, no matter the matter, let it satisfy you and you alone. 

Noting the thought as you think it paves the road so that the thought does not die.  A recorded or written thought becomes factual.

We are here because of thought and we are the cause of thought.  

We do as a result of thought and we have because of thought  

We will once we have thought it but cannot until we think it.
