My Thoughts

 

Three things to consider about knowledge.

  1. Without knowledge you are less than everyone who has knowledge.

  2. What is in your head ... no one can take away.

  3. Becoming accurately informed is the first step to empowerment.
     

A Little Bit Means A Lot

One day while walking on the beach I saw a man in the distance looking as though he was throwing something out into the surf.  He would consistently bend over pick something up and then throw it out into the surf .. over and over again he would repeat this.

Getting closer I could see he was picking up starfish ... the beach was loaded with them ...hundreds maybe even thousands laid all over the beach.  I asked him why he was throwing starfish into the sea ... to save their life he replied. But there are so many ... you can't save them all ... the task is impossible!

I saved this ONE...he replied as he threw another starfish out to sea and saved its life.

Moral of the story:
You though being one ... you as one can make a difference to someone. You can change a life ....save a life ... live a life that helps others live their life better.

Corporations...

US Supreme Court apparently ruled recently that corporations can spend whatever they want in the political arena ... in layman terms this means the "sky is the limit". Understand Corporations are not just a business ... but an entity... a person according to the law ... one that never dies and always makes a profit or it ceases being a corporation.   See a documentary on the birth of the corporation ...The Corporation video...  How many corporations are socially responsible? How many would put people before its profit? How much more misinformation will there be?   Next corporations will unite such as workers do in a local union ... all of them contributing to their cause (profit at any social or environmental price).   When corporations unite watch how their contributions amass to select their choice of candidates ...watch how wealth controls the process ...watch how the wealth works to use/abuse the working class.  How will a common layman challenge the beast (corporations)? How on earth can the US Supreme Court be so narrow sighted and controlled themselves? ... because corporations are an entity.

Ever Wonder?

Sometime on a clear night stop for a moment and look upward at the night sky.  See the stars that are as plentiful as grains of sand in a desert? Hubble telescope is floating above earth high above every cloud and dust particle. See some of what it sees: Hubble Photos This is no science fiction. See what is going on in just a part of the heavens. Then tell me how big your day to day issues are on earth.

Go Figure...

For human instruction everything starts with something ... a house has a start by a builder ... materials from a factory ... factory materials come from organic things like trees ... trees came from seeds ... and the seeds from trees and the cycle goes on and on.  No where on earth is there anything with no beginning and no ending. Most people will snicker at the thought of you believing that there is such a thing....as no beginning and no ending.  However, about space (heavens) we are taught there is no beginning and no ending. Think about it ... NO beginning and NO ending ... forever ON and ON. Where did space with NO beginning and NO ending come from? Where did the "start" of space come from? "It just is"  they say in answer... accept it on faith.
Faith...That's exactly why we are not fearful of believing in God the Almighty (YHWH) .  It all starts with God and all stops with God... even here on earth.

Round

Ever curious why all the planets, stars and galaxies are round? Why not different geometric and rough designs? Curious ...

New Thought ...

Before 2009 we were told all planets, stars and galaxies were moving outward from a central beginning.  The Big Bang theory was seen as a reason for the outward movement ... and it made sense that if one would just follow the universe backward that one central point would be met (the point before Big Bang) ... the fact that all the universe was SLOWING down as it went outward seemed to support this theory. This year (2009) by using Hubble we are now informed that all the universe is in fact speeding up as it moves outward.  Now what?  Big Bang? OR?

Fly Off...

Once upon a time a farmer after a full morning of work took time to have his bag lunch ... after he pushed his pitch fork in the soil he sat down and opened his lunch bag and ate his lunch.  Feeling a bit tired after he finished lunch he laid against the hay stack lowered his brim straw hat and snoozed.

Along came two flies flying by that took immediate notice that the farmer left a piece of his left over baloney sandwich opened and exposed. Both flies flew down and ate the baloney. One fly felt he ate enough and decided it was time to move on.  So launching himself into the air off he went flying till he was out of site.

The other fly continued to eat, eat and eat so much he could not eat another bite.  In fact he had eaten so much his belly was super sized.  He tried to jump up and fly away ... however being so large and heavy he only fell back to earth. Seeing the pitch fork he had an idea.  Climbing to the handle on top of the pitch fork the fly jumped off in hopes to be high enough to capture the wind and be off into the sunset. Off he jumped!   Down he went ... thump!  He was on the ground again .

Moral of the story?
Don't fly off the handle when YOU are full of baloney!

Life has 3 major stages of Mind Change:

  1. When you come into Life...

  2. When you live your Life...

  3. When you know your Life is coming to its end.

another curious thought. . This will survive many many years after all humans are gone from the earth... according to research science.  For those not from the USA ... this is called Twinkies (Select the picture).
