A Poem: A Christian Confronts The Simulation / #positivedisruption #freedom #liberty

By
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

 Proverbs 16:19

 God through Solomon

……………….

Part 1

a man of sorrows,
you came unto your own,
and your own received you not

Creator of Heaven and Earth,
your visage was marred beyond recognition by those you created

Love itself, knowing the end from the very beginning
You suffer the vessels of wrath
staking your life as a ransom for your peculiar children

Your sons and daughters you make kings,
we cast our crowns before your throne

Called because we are drawn
Hope, our expectation of things to come

My Lord and my Redeemer,
Here I stand doing all I can do to endure

Your words are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb
and your spirit comforts my weary soul

Joyfully, I despise the shame
Joyfully, I despise the persecution

………………

Part 2

With my own heart-eyes I saw man’s system
I stood in front of it beholding its corrupted simplicity

My sister knocked on the door
I opened at the right time and was warned
Then I remembered she was like an eagle
Watching out for my soul
Her strength and sight for a time and a place

I walked away from what I saw
and turned not to take one last look
She stayed behind to confront
Then I woke up and realized
how much I am loved..
how you keep me from strife

how you see me as I truly am
beyond the earthy eyes of man

And what of my sister?
Am I not her keeper, as well?

With your spirit
I turn back for her soul
facing all that which is and will soon be not

………………………

Part 3


The Lord be with me
though I fall seven times He raises me up
The Lord be with me
that I may stand with this love given to me

The Lord be with you
that you may see beyond the trappings of this life
The Lord be with you
that you may recognize what is important

The Lord be with us
He makes us conquering conquerors
His kingdom is even here
His little lights, a royal inheritance
called to shine hope and brightness into dreary darkness

The Gaslighting of our Constitutional Understanding & The Original Purpose of the U.S. Government

By
John Adams   “I have found by Experience, that in this Age of the World that Man has an awful Lot, who “dares to  love his Country and be poor.” Liberty and virtue! When! oh When will your Enemies cease to exist or to persecute! Our Country will be envied, our Liberty will be envied, our Virtues will be envied. Deep and subtle systems of Corruption hard to prove, impossible to detect, will be practised to sap and undermine Us and the few who penetrate them will be called suspicious, envious, restless turbulent ambitious—will be hated unpopular and unhappy. But a succession of these Men must be preserved, for these are the salt of the Earth. Without these the World would be worse than it is.” Letter To Abigail Adams, from John Adams, Paris, April 16, 1783 Few generations, said George Washington and John Adams, are fortunate to produce brilliant minds and hearts that are selfless. How shall we fare in our present? What is the path of national political unanimity that ...

Being a Maverick Thinker with Your #ExecutiveFunction Skills

By
Once we understand what our executive function skills are, we move to streamlining how well we use them, how they show up/ don't show up in our life. As we move through our understanding of how to better manage our ideas, feelings and actions, can their be soft and hard forces which are orchestrated with the focus of instilling in us..how to think...how to act... how to respond? Or is 'man' so free in mind, so independent, and so ahead of these forces that he is not affected, not thwarted in his goals, and not redirected easily? If we are to polish and tone these executive function skills so that we can harness the ability of our mind (a tool) to facilitate successful outcomes for ourselves, should we not start by bringing a critical eye to why we think the way we think? Is this not metacognition, or how we use our thought process to approach the world?  Using systems theory, any system that is accepted into a larger system invariably begins to affect tha...

Graciousness Through Christ Jesus Who Is Written In Our Hearts

By
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” The Epistle To The Hebrews Chapter 13:8–10 Having Faith, hope in what is not seen; yet, through the Word of God, ‘faith’ having greater meaning, hope through the Word and the gracious power of the Spirit of the Word, Truth & Righteousness, brings one; that is to say, translates one, from the kingdom of spiritual darkness: a life, replete with an attitude, perspective, reasoning, and quality of life that is intrinsically a life of scarcity, vanity, gain & advantage, strife, and selfishness, into THE kingdom of God; the kingdom of Light; an abounding reality overflowing with God, and the fruit of his Spirit: joy, peace, faith, gentleness, temperan...
