Forgotten Books; The Smoky
God, Or A Voyage To The Center of The Earth, by Willis Emerson (Audiobook)

Published on WordPress Match 18, 2023 by Donna Brown Bowles Audiobook by Flat Water FE.

Willis George Emerson’s classic tale: Join Olaf Jansen, along with his father, as they
voyage to the long lost paradise at the
center of the Earth. Known to every ancient
culture by such names as: Eden, Asgaarde,
Shambala, Mt. Meru, Mt. Meriah, Atlantis,
Hyperborea and more. Included in this
story, (and several other northern arctic
reports of explorers) we learn of several
key points, (like Mt. Meru) that have pretty
interesting real world implications. These
point again to the truth, that most mythical,
and certainly all Biblical tales of peoples
and places are, in fact, more reality than
fantasy.

MY SISTER

MY SISTER

1987 California

Her stories, and, the magic and wonder that she created when I was a child.

It was a winter Christmas night in Buffalo New York in 1963.
My oldest sister, Mary was going Christmas shopping and I asked her if I could go because I had never been out after dark, especially at Christmas time.
I was just 7yrs old.
Needless to say, she allowed me to go and I must say;  it was one of the most beautiful Christmas experiences that I ever had.

We only lived a few blocks away from the gigantic department stores, one was called Hens and Kelly’s,
I believe that was the name.

It was snowing and as we approached the bright lights of the city, my eyes must have been as big as quarters!
I just couldn’t believe how beautiful and magical everything felt!
There were Christmas lights of every color and size dangling from the street signs, the buildings, and every department store window.
There were decorated Christmas trees, bells ringing, carolers singing, and Christmas music playing in every store.
I just couldn’t believe my eyes!
Then we went into Hen’s-n-Kellys department store and, my sister asked me if I wanted to go see Santa, and of course I did.

I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas and he gave me a hug and a candy cane. It was great!
Then, we were off to the next store.
We passed a police man who was walking the beat, he nodded and said, Merry Christmas!
He was so kind.
Next, we happen to pass another Santa from the salvation army.
He was so happy and jolly and he said,
“Merry Christmas, ho ho ho” as he shook his bell with gladness!
There was so much love in the air.

Then, it occurred to me that, I had just sat on Santa’s lap in the last store.
I mentioned it to my sister and, I told her that it’s impossible to have two Santa’s and now, I’m not sure if I believe in Santa anymore.
She said, “no sweetheart, there’s not two Santa’s but, only one.”
She continued. Do you see those raindeer over there? Well, they fly from store to store so, that Santa can be everywhere and see all the children.
I was like, “wow, really!”
I remember thinking, how amazing that was and, to this day, I believe that was the best Christmas ever!
The Spirit of Christmas was everywhere!
I never told her how much that meant to me as a child.
So, now I want to thank you sister for making my Christmas dreams come true in Buffalo New York, 1963.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES AND DREAMS COME TRUE.
JESUS LOVES YOU AND I DO TOO.

Love always,
Sincerely,
your sister, Donna

COULD THE SUN BE YESHUA AND THE MOON SATAN?

Apocrypha, INTERESTS, Stories

THE CHRONICLES OF JERAHMEEL

Opinion, by Donna Brown Bowles

April 18, 2020

Could the Sun be YESHUA and the moon satan?

This is my opinion only but, when I read this, it was my impression that, this was the beginning of the contention in heaven between Lucifer and GOD because of Lucifer’s jealousy.

I’m not sure; however, it may be something to ponder…

CHAPTER III

(1) On the fourth day he formed two lights, one not larger than the other; they were identical both in their form and in their light, as it is said, ‘And God made the two lights.’ A quarrel ensued between them; one said to the other, ‘I am greater than thou.’ Therefore God, in order to make peace between them, enlarged the one and diminished the other, as it is said, ‘And the greater to rule by day.’ (2) R. Eliezer said that God uttered one word and the heavens were created to become the dwelling-place of the throne of the glory of His kingdom, as it is said, ‘By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,’ but for the numerous host of heaven God exerted Himself more; He blew with the breath of His mouth, and all the host of the heavens were created, as it is said, ‘And with the breath of His mouth all their host.’ (3) All the stars and planets and the two lights were created at the beginning of the fourth night. One did not precede the other except by one minute particle of time; therefore, all the work of the sun is done slowly, while that of the moon is done quickly; what the sun takes twelve days to do the moon can do in one day; what the sun does during the whole year the moon does in thirty days, as it is explained in the chapters

p. 11

of R. Eliezer. (4) Three letters of the ineffable name of God are written upon the heart of the sun, and angels lead it. Those that lead it in the day do not lead it in the night, and those that lead it in the night do not lead it in the day. The sun rises in a chariot, and rides forth crowned as a bridegroom, as it is said, ‘And he goeth forth from his canopy as a bridegroom.’ The horns (the rays) and the fiery face of the sun look upon the earth in the summer, they would consume it with fire if the ice above would not temper the heat, as it is said, ‘Nothing is hidden from his heat.’ In the winter-time the sun turns his icy face to the earth, and were it not for the fire which warms the cold, the world would not be able to endure it, as it is said, ‘Who can stand before his cold?’ (5) The sun rises in the east and sets opposite in the west. The Shekinah always resides in the west, and the sun enters in its presence, and, bowing down before the King of kings, says: ‘O Lord of the universe, I have fulfilled all Thy commands.’ These are some of the ways of the sun. (6) The habitation of the moon is placed between the clouds and the thick darkness, which are like two dishes one above the other; within them the moon travels. These two clouds turn themselves towards the west, and the moon peeps out from between the two in the form of a little horn. On the first night of the new month one part is visible, on the second night a second portion, and so on until the middle of the month, when it is full moon. From the middle of the month onwards these two clouds turn themselves eastwards, and that part of the moon which appeared first is the first to be covered by the two clouds—on the first night one part, on the second night a second part, until the end of the month, when it is entirely covered. Whence do we know that the moon is between two clouds

Because it is said, ‘The cloud is its clothing, and clouds of darkness its covering.’

“AS YE HAVE DONE UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE…”

ART, God, Stories

The master storyteller told a story about a little 8 year old girl who was living in an orphanage.
She was extremely shy and very unattractive, the other children wouldn’t play with her and she was always alone, all of the time.

She was a problem to the teachers and the management of the institution sought to get rid of her, she had already been transferred twice.

At that particular home there was an iron-clad rule that any outside communication had to be censored by the director or the associate.

Late one afternoon this little girl climbed a tree whose branches hung over the main wall, she placed an envelope on a limb as, far out as she could possibly reach.

She had been watched by the director and when the girl had returned to her room the director, in the end most undignified fashion, climbed the tree and retrieved the mysterious message.

After she had read it, without a word, she passed it to her associate.
The letter read.

From Susan to anybody who reads this,

I love you…

WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN THEY WOULD HAVE YOU THINK

Bible, God, INTERESTS, Stories

We are all created in HIS image and likeness and given the choice to choose peace or war.

Native American Warfare in the West: Conflict Among the tribes.

Let me get this straight.
Do you mean humans are more alike then we have been indoctrinated to believe, and it wasn’t just,
“The White Man,” who was capable of such atrocities against humanity?
Indians did it also?
And we were all created in God’s image and likeness and given the choice to choose peace or war?

Genesis 1:26-27

26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:“

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3fsearch=Genesis%2b1:26-27&version=KJV&interface=amp

That’s amazing…

Some would have you believe that everything oppressive is caused by,
“The Evil White Man” and that somehow America would be better off and a peaceful land if Columbus hadn’t come to America.
The irony of it all…

Here’s some interesting parts of history that are taboo to repeat in our society because they don’t want you to know that we, no matter what race, color or creed, are all alike, in every way shape and manner.

The reason they, “The elite” don’t want you to know is it will ruin their plans to divide and conquer!
If we’re not united against evil they win.
It’s not about color.
It’s about good vs evil.

And it’s probably time to choose sides and choose wisely because there are ONLY two sides to ONE GREAT STORY:

God’s or satan

You decide.

Below is an example of how the Indian tribes were and are no different than the white, black, Asian etc…

Native American Warfare in the West: Conflict Among the tribes.

Fighting in the Southwest during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries followed the mourning-war pattern prevalent among the eastern woodland Indians. Like their eastern counterparts, both sedentary Pueblo Indians and semi nomadic tribes such as the Navajo warred to avenge the murder of their kinsmen. In important ways, however, warfare in the Southwest differed from that practiced in the eastern part of North America. First, semi sedentary Native Americans raided both other semi nomadic tribes and the Pueblo Indians in an effort to acquire material goods through plunder. More importantly, the Pueblo Indians living in and near the Rio Grande valley often fought wars that were more similar to European conflicts than to the woodland Indians’ blood feuds.

Semi Sedentary Tribes. Like their eastern neighbors, tribes such as the Apache and Navajo fought to avenge the deaths of kinsmen rather than to acquire territory. When a clan member was killed by Indians from another tribe, a war leader related to the deceased formed a war party composed of kinsmen and unrelated young men who sought the prestige that came through success in battle. After two nights of war dances and a day of feasting, the war party moved into enemy territory, where it took women and children captive and killed enemy warriors. Because semi-nomadic Indians such as the Navajo had to avenge every clan member killed by a rival tribe, blood-feud warfare was, as in the East, self-perpetuating and never ending.

Raiding Parties. There were, however, important differences between the objectives of eastern Indian warfare and the goals of their southwestern counterparts. While eastern Indians fought almost exclusively to achieve retribution, southwestern Indians clashed with their neighbors both to avenge previous wrongs and to loot them of material possessions. Apaches and Navajos, for example, raided both each other and the sedentary Pueblo Indian tribes in an effort to acquire goods through plunder. Though the distinction was missed by the Pueblo Indians and, later, by the Spanish, raiding parties differed substantially from war parties in terms of their objectives and their approach. While war parties sought to take captives and to achieve vengeance through killing, the smaller raiding parties hoped to avoid fighting and focused instead on taking booty. Raids often spawned blood feuds, though, because a tribe had to avenge the death of a warrior who died either in a raid or in an ensuing battle with pursuers.

Pueblo Indians. The sedentary Pueblo Indians of the Rio Grande valley likewise engaged in the vengeance-motivated

Warfare that was common to kinship-based societies. Pueblo warfare was not, however, limited to blood feuds. Living in and near the densely populated but resource-poor Rio Grande valley, Pueblo tribes such as the Hopis, Zunis, Piros, and Tewas fought with one another to secure control of the region’s limited supply of arable land. Such economically and territorially motivated warfare led the Pueblo Indians to make their adobe towns—called pueblos—powerful defensive fortifications. They did so by building their settlements atop steep mesas, by constructing their multistory buildings around a central plaza to form sheer exterior walls, and by limiting access to the main square to a single, narrow, easily defended passageway. Navajo and Apache raiding parties consequently found the Pueblo Indians’ settlements to be tempting but formidable targets.

Finding Truth with Zen Garcia

Bible, FAMILY, Stories, YHWH, Zen Garcia

I would like to introduce you to new way of finding truth with Zen Garcia, author and publisher of several books (20+) of ancient theologies with esoteric topics such as:
The Gnostics ; apocryphal scriptures; Lost Books Of The Bible; The Forgotten Books Of Eden; The Dead Sea Scrolls and more…

With skillfull articulation, Zen demonstrates how we have been manipulated from the beginning by comparing lost books of bible with the KJV bible to confirm their validity with elaboration.

Zen has spent many years meticulously researching various historical theologies. His findings of truth are astounding and as a direct result, has encountered opposition and ridicule not, only from the secular side but, the religious side as well.

Truth can be threatening to those who stand to gain without it.
In opposition, it would be unbearable to those who are unwilling to accept that they have been beguiled.

With fine articulation, Zen demonstrates how we have been manipulated from the beginning and the enemies agenda and explains how to endeavor freedom one compelling page at a time.

But, let me warn you first.
This information is for Truth seekers only.
If you are unwilling to embrace truth this is not the place for you.

I’ll share my story from the beginning when I first discovered the truth with Zen Garcia to explain why it’s neccessary to be ready to receive the truth.

My story,

It was almost two years ago that I had stumbled upon Zen; I believe it was by divine intervention. I was desperately searching for truth for many years when one morning I felt compelled to search, once more.
I turned on YouTube and discovered Zen.
He was discussing vaccinations with Laurel Austin, who has done in-depth studies on vaccines, and is a wellness writer and co-host for Zen Garcia.
I was stunned as I listened to their experiences, and their expertise as they examined these controversial issues with such tenacity.

I was convinced and inspired. Over the next few days I had watched as many of Zen’s YouTube videos as possible.
Including several topics and books that Zen had written:
“A Different Way of Being, Lucifer – Father of Cain, Awaken to the NWO, Sons of God: Who We Are Why We Are Here, Skyfalll- Angels of Destiny., The Aramaic Targum, and, The Flat Earth as Key to Decrypt the Book of Enoch.”

As I pondered all that I had learned, I became overwhelmed
I sat alone in silence and cried. I was angry and I came to the conclusion that everything I had ever learned was a lie, I discovered that the religious institutions as, well as our educational systems, were nothing more than a great deception. Their goal was to dumb us down and indoctrinate us in order to divide and conquer.
I wanted to scream to illustrate my burden but, there weren’t any words to describe how I felt.

I felt as though I had lived my entire life in a dreamland and then awakened to live the final nightmare!
I discovered the plans of the elite and how they had controlled us, what their wicked plans were, and how easily manipulated I was.
The thought of it all left me broken but not defeated!

I knew I could no longer sleep nor dream their visions and with no other alternative but to face reality, I surrendered…

For the first time I opened my eyes and saw a new world unfamiliar yet meaningful, hopeless now hopeful; moreover ,
I found the truth with my Savior, the Son of YHWH, Yeshua the one and only true living God.💕

Morning came and I began my journey of a thousand miles down the rabbit hole with Zen Garcia and Yesuah as our guide.

It was then that I discovered; nightmares only happen when you close your eyes.

“With eyes wide open” only now was I able to see that nothing was and, nothing is, what it appears to be. And the God that I never understood; I was beginning to understand.

So I chose to embrace truth and…

~ Attitude ~

INTERESTS, Stories

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to 
me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home…a country…

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes…

This set of photographs was shot on Mother’s Day this year in Portland Oregon.   My daughter, her pug and I were playing carelessly in the park, as I gazed over at the swing set and for just a moment, I could see my daughter swinging twenty-five years earlier. The reminiscent thought was and always will be cherished.
That’s why I named this set of photographs, “Forever Young.”

~Pug Teachings~

animals, FAMILY, INTERESTS, Stories

While visiting my children last month in Portland Oregon I was introduced to our newest family member, Ninja, the acrobat. His given name appropriately fits his outstanding ability to master gymnastics, ungracefully at times. “Laughs”

My daughter  Candice and I laughed until our stomachs ached while watching her puppy’s childish play.  Candice and I are artists in several areas. Whether 

 we were beading, painting or trying certain techniques in photography, Ninja would run through the middle and flip over our creations like a bull on steroids, either landing on the other side of our crafts, creating a distraction, or directly in the middle sending our beads or paint flying in the air. ! “~laughing”~

We finally found a solution to our problem. We would take him outside before creating and throw the ball until he was exhausted then take him in and put him to bed right next to us. He would sleep right through our art session which lasted two to three hours. 

I miss his childlike energy and his intuition on human behavior. He taught me a lot about enjoying life to the fullest and selflessness. He taught me a truth that had been hidden inside me.  Home is where the heart is, and my heart lives in Portland with my wonderful family.

~The truth about Waco Texas Bikers~

INTERESTS, politics, Stories

Four weeks after the deadly May 17th shooting incident outside a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant, more details have come out concerning the incident, but significant questions still remain about the actions taken by law enforcement and the police’s account of what transpired.
image

Although the national mainstream media has largely moved on from the Waco story, if critics of the police are correct, the incident represents an unprecedented civil rights violation and media cover-up campaign by the Waco authorities.

Police in Waco still have yet to state how many bikers, if any, were killed by the police, or to explain why the police showed up in force at all prior to the meeting on May 17th.

In a statement on Friday, the police said that of 16 officers that were in the parking lot, only three fired a total of 12 shots.  However, the statement still didn’t clarify how many of the bikers were killed by police. Authorities say they have not recieved final autopsy results that would clarify ballistics.

Then there’s the issue of the vague charges and mass arrests: if innocent people were arrested, held for weeks, and publicly accused of heinous crimes, it’s a nightmare scenario for dozens of people, impacting their work, family and personal reputations.

There are mounting reasons to believe that’s what happened. As the AP reported on May 22nd, over 115 of the men taken into custody had no criminal record but were still held on $1,000,000 bond, for what have been called ‘fill in the name” charges of engaging in organized criminal activity:

Waco police have said that all those arrested after the shooting belonged to criminal motorcycle gangs. Most of them were being held on $1 million bonds Thursday, charged with engaging in criminal enterprise. Nine people were killed in Sunday’s shootout.

Although dozens of those arrested do have criminal records, 117 did not have any convictions listed under their names and birthdates in a database maintained by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The database also shows five of the people killed had convictions in Texas.

One example of how the police seem to have ignored the line between biker groups with known criminal connections, and non-criminal motorcyclists, involves four men from the Austin area who were part of a motorcycle club called the Grim Guardians: Juan Garcia, Drew King, Jim Harris and Bonar Crump.

There is nothing at all to indicate the Grim Guardians are anything more than what they claim to be: a group of Christian motorcyclists committed to helping children. Austin police do not have the Grim Guardians listed as a criminal biker gang.

The Grim Guardians motorcycle club is an offshoot from a group called Guardians of Children that Garcia, King, Harris and Crump all belonged to.  The Guardians are focused on helping victims of child abuse, often visiting children and conducting charity rides.

A February 2014 article in the Seguin Gazette shows Crump posing with other Guardians of Children as they gathered to help abuse victims in Guadalupe County.

Nor do the Grim Guardians’ backgrounds indicate criminality. Garcia has an engineering degree and worked for the city of Austin. Crump graduated from Baylor University with a degree in English, and from Oklahoma Baptist University with a history degree, and he owns his own business.

However, since the four were arrested, the incident has cast a shadow over their lives, because the Waco authorities immediately took a “Guilty Until Proven Innocent” attitude.
image

Grim Guardians members King, Harris and Garcia were featured in a previous Breitbart Texas story because they were arrested near the Twin Peaks scene, but hadn’t actually been there. They were given a smaller bond and then released, but once Waco officials realized they had been released, they ordered the trio re-arrested… before they were eventually released again.

In the initial press conference after the shooting, Waco Police described “three men” on their way to Twin Peaks who had been arrested, making it sound as though the three were en route to take part in a planned biker brawl.

However, now that a police incident report has surfaced, it appears King, Harris and Garcia were arrested for being at the scene, and wearing leather jackets with Grim Guardians patches. There’s no indication that the police officer actually knew who the Grim Guardians are, or what they do.

The police report says:

While speaking with all three men as they sat in the grassy area, noticed tall three were wearing a black leather vest with several patches indicating they were a motorcycle club member. All three had on a black leather vest and on the back of it had the name GRIM GUARDIAN, ROCKER on the top patch and in the center of the black leather vest had a round patch with the symbol of half of a skull on one side and half of a Viking helmet on the other. Also a small patch MC standing for motorcycle club and a bottom rocker patch stating the words SLAUGHTER CREEK, representing the part of the city they were from.

The smearing of criminal and non-criminal bikers doesn’t just extend to groups like the Grim Guardians. It may apply to individuals with connections to the two biker groups that have been identified as outlaw gangs involved in the Twin Peaks shootings: the Cossacks and the Bandidos.

After reports saying that one of the nine people killed – 65 year old decorated vet Jessie Delgado – had no criminal ties or club affiliation, a piece in the Dallas Morning News two weeks ago Friday raised new questions about another man killed. The article says that Cossacks member Richard “Bear” Kirschner of Richardson had no criminal record, and that he drove to the Waco event with his wife, in their family car.

The Morning News piece quotes friends of Kirschner who praise him as a gentle family man, but also includes a quote from “Lori,” a friend of Kirschner, who echoed some of the rumors swirling as more doubts are raised about the police account of the Twin Peaks incident.

In fact, Lori said, the biker community is rife with reports about witnesses who heard the discharge of lots of high-powered weaponry after a few initial pop-pop sounds of handguns. The reports sounded like they came from “muzzled or suppressed high-powered weapons,” said Lori, though she wasn’t there. The theory is that the heavy fire came from tactical police officers.

(…)

Isn’t it hard to identify supressed high-powered gunfire? Not for the biker community, many of whom are ex-military and have been around firearms a lot, Lori said. Speaking of that day in Waco, she said, “The Leatherneck Club was there. Different mom and pop groups. The Foreign Legion riders group. Many of them were veterans. You learn to differentiate.”

The Waco police press release on Friday confirmed the use of suppressors.

☆Too Much Turkey 4 Tinker☆

animals, FAMILY, PHOTOGRAPHY, Stories

Tinker had eaten a little bit too much turkey on thanksgiving.
She is so fat she can’t fit into her winter clothes from last year. 
I had to get her a new outfit yesterday at the Ross.

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I adopted her from the animal shelter.  I remember when I first set eyes on her she was so tiny/skinny and frightened.

The pound attendant said they had found her running wild in the city of Yuma.  She was living on the streets for thanksgiving last year.  It breaks my heart to think of it.
Alone, starving,  and certainly terrified!

I look at her now and she’s so contented.  Always happy and just a  precious addition to our family.  I’m so thankful to have spent this Thanksgiving with her. She ate until she was full, well, maybe over full,  but don’t we all overeat on the Holidays. Then she climbed into her new fluffy winter bed and, well, here are the pictures, see for yourself if you think maybe she ate too much.

~A LITTLE HUMOR IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL~

Humor, INTERESTS, Stories

Once upon a time, a mother made her son a wristband. On it was written: WWJD? This, of course stood for: “What Would Jesus Do?” She instructed her son to look at the wristband before making decisions on how to live his Christian life.

A week later she was shocked to see that her son had become friends with prostitutes, was hanging out with ‘sinners’ — even buying people another round of beers!

Worse still, he had walked into their church the previous Sunday and tore down the book store, overturned the tables and threw the cash register through the window, he then made a whip and chased the pastor out of the building, declaring he was turning God’s house into a den of thieves.

Most shocking was what happened when his mother went to picket the local abortion clinic. To her embarrassment, her son was also there, but he was standing with the women who just had an abortion, and yelled at the protesters: “You who are without sin, throw the first stone!”

The mother was very distressed, but fortunately she found a solution to this terrible problem. She made another wristband, this time it read: WWAPD? This, she explained to her son, stood for: “What Would A Pharisee Do?” She took the old WWJD? wristband and burned it.

Since her son has been wearing the new wristband, looking at it to help him make his decisions, he has become a dedicated tither, a public prayer warrior, an active condemner of ‘sinners,’ judges with wrath, and has a great reputation as a godly young man amongst other religious people.

Needless to say, the mother is very happy now. She only wishes Jesus would take notice and follow her son’s good example.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.
I’m not sure if I can express what’s in my heart. All I know is that it feels like broken glass and it ripping me a-part.
A-part of me wants to be set free. Yet a part of me is afraid.

I read and search beyond the scenes, behind the stage where lies are practiced to deceive. A media without  consciousness, lusting for blood, death and power, for anyone who might interfere.

Many are willing to be sacrificial lambs. Eager to please, in exchange for popularity and exceptance. Willing to slay their own, for monetary gain. They sleep well, and moan in their secret dreams.

Many are unaware.  They are trapped, and are intimidated into sharing a feast with hungry wolves that duel upon their breast, and leave them feeling defiled.

Many know, as I, but do nothing to stop them. We write, read, paint, create, and photograph to excape. The ugliest truths that were ever told.

We read political propaganda, and know it’s a lie, as it eats like a cancer into our consciousness, and rapes our minds. Creating a great divide, between the truth, and the red tides of death that crush our hearts and silence our screams!

I hate how I feel! I just want to run as
long as it takes, to stop feeling, and knowing all that I do. It is so sorreal!

Why am I paralyzed?

Why are you?

Why do I wait for the slaughter?

Why do you?

When will I stand?

When will you?

When will I fight?

When will you?

When will we take back our land?

When it’s too late?

The time has come and…!

Very soon it will be gone…!

While I was sleeping…

I closed my tired eyes one night.

Exhausted by the sight of our world.

Disease of deception crept in.

When I awoke, years had passed.

What happened?

How could this be?

Why did you let this occur?

Why didn’t anyone stop them?

We are prisoners of the enemy!

A thousand hollow eyes stare back at me.

One man speaks out…

“The barb wire protects us from the enemy!”

I look around as to find a way out.

Another demands, “This is a new America!”

The “puppets” shout, “Yes we can.”

I stand in protest; I run!

An American soldier slams

A gun into my chest…!

“Relax, you’re not going anywhere!”

“You’re one of the reasons we’re all here!”

“No,  I exclaimed, you can’t blame this on me!”

I’m sure it was planned by the enemy!

The soldier raised his brow, and glared a chilling stare then turned his head to hide the tears.

HE said,

“The American troops were sent away in order to train foreign troops, to conquer our land and we had no way to let you know.A lie is all that you were told because of the media blackouts around the world. All communication was blocked by Bush and Obama alike. NOTHING was done to execute their plan!”
“But I was sleeping”, I exclaimed!

His tears fell into my heart…

While a sleeping nation fell a-part…

RETURN TO LOVE

INTERESTS, Stories

The book, “Return to Love,” by Marianne Williamson, has profoundly influenced my life. It’s changed my entire perspective on religion vs.spirituality.
If anyone is struggling with religion this book will help improve their tolerance and love, for not only themselves, which is first foremost of importance, but their view of the entire world.
The importance for taking responsibility to enhance our own spiritually is the key to living a fulfilling life. We can retire from blaming religion for our lack of unwillingness to learn how we can, “return to love.”

Here are a few excerpts from the book,

1.) Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of Heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.

2.) “…a miracle is a reasonable thing to ask for.”

3.) “Do what you love.
Do what makes your heart sing.
And NEVER do it for the money,
Go to work to spread joy.”

5.) “When infants aren’t held, they can become sick, even die. It’s universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.”

Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

LOVE IS JUST A WORD…

FAMILY, INTERESTS, Stories

This last year I made a decision and commitment to learn more about what love is and how it could be applicable in my life.
I was spiritually, and emotionally bankrupt, which left me feeling empty. I knew something had to change. I was desperate for change.
I’d like to share a little of what I have learned and am still learning, for it has made an enormous difference in my life.

I saw this cartoon on F/B. It was a good reminder of what I want for my life.

Love is just a word that requires action. Without the action it’s a lie.

If I love someone, regardless of any adverse situation that may occure,  I must act from integrity, responsibility , morality and not my emotions/heart.
When I’m angry I’m incapable of feeling love, therefore I’m incapable of giving and receiving love.
Love isn’t always feeling good. If that were the case the divorce rate would drop considerably!

It’s about growing, giving and loving unconditionally. (& A LOT MORE)

I’m practicing love with my family, friends and myself by doing the next right thing.
This is new for me and I haven’t perfected it  by any means; however,  I am willing to learn, grow and live along spiritual lines.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience. 
Love is just a word that needs a verb. :]💕

Media library

Humor, INTERESTS, Stories

I’m so distraught!!!
I can’t believe what has happened to my WordPress blog.

Over the last few weeks my site was sluggish and my media wasn’t loading completely, at times it wouldn’t load at all.
My best thinking (and my lack of knowledge) led me to believe that possibly it was the result of the large amount of  pictures stored in my WordPress media library.
My solution was to clean out my media library, and
“kill two birds with one stone.”
(For lack of a better term)

First I would dispose of the bulk from my wordpress media library, thus leaving more room for my new pictures.
Secondly my WordPress site would load quickly and easily ensuring it to be more user friendly. Right?
Wrong! Just gos to show how computer savy I am.

I deleted pictures for about an hour.
I probably deleted six or seven hundred photos.
I went to bed that night and when I awoke the next morning, I opened my WordPress blog, and I was utterly shocked!
All those photos I deleted the night before, they were also deleted off of my blogs. I stared at my computer screen in frozen in horror!
Who would believe that if you cleaned your library out that your photographs would also be ripped completely off your blog!
One would think that wordpress would have a pop-up saying,
“this deletion will also delete photos off of your blog,” or something to that affect.  My phone and computer warns me with a pop-up saying,
“are you sure you want to delete this picture?” How hard would that be for WordPress to do this? (Never mind)

My first rational thought was to find a solution,  easy right? I started surfing the web franticly for some kind of logical solution, but this was to no avail.
Next, I called my daughter Brandy,
for I had remembered she had taken a WordPress class last year.

She informed me that the only way to fix the problem was to open my dashboard, then pull my blogs into edit.  I would then have to re-add my backup pictures that were stored on my computer; I would also have to remember which photos go where?
Shouldn’t be to hard right? Considering  I only have to sort through ten or eleven thousand pictures stored on my T B 

There’s approximately two hundred and  fifty  blogs to pull. 
The next step would be to download a WordPress plug-in to avoid this horrible situation in the future. “Great.”
I was clueless in regards to the importance of this plugin.  I guess that’s the cost for not reading the fine print `~°•○☆~sob sob~☆○•°~÷♡ or the cost of not enrolling in a WordPress class at my neighborhood university. ÷(

I honestly feel like deleting my four hundred thirty blogs and starting over!
I’m not quite sure what I’ll do at this point for I’m too emotionally involved.
If anyone has any expertise on this process, maybe an easier way (?) [Crossing my fingers]++++++++
please feel free to share.
Sincerely,
Distraught-dawnasong
