Speech, thoughts, and actions are things. They are creations. They are much more than a momentary ripple on this plane. We exist on multiple levels - emotional, mental, intuitional etc. They attach to us. They are us. And they are recorded within the planetary life. We all need to clean it up.

Take toilet paper. Now half the product, fluffed up, larger tube inside to look like same product before - marketing or deceitful? Same packaging, same size box - lots more fuel to ship half the product. So of course product more money. Is this country great or what!? Evening mood! We're #1.

Imagine no $ spent on any military aspect, defense or offense anywhere. No guns at all, or desire to own one. Where would all that money, intelligence, material resource go? No passports or visas to travel or move. I guess I need to live a couple more lives to evolve enough to understand. Imagine...

We constantly have a lot of pigeons on our roof so looked up why our roof. Various answers but the big takeaway was they are a symbol of good luck That would be a change! More so if they poop on you. I have been standing here for hours...

Yes, it is dark out. We all know... It’s always darkest before the dawn. Dawn will come and the light will shine as it always does after darkness. We are full of light - shine it where you are able. Let light, love, and power guide you in helping those less fortunate.

Love thy neighbor...but it's complicated. R's - If it gets me ahead. Are they woke? D's - What is wrong with them? Can I slap them first? Complicated! Joking...but please, please take care of children when you can. This will pass for us...help them and they will be there for the world later.

When the scientist, for instance, speaks of force, or energy, and the Christian speaks of God, and the Hindu uses terms analogous to the 'I am that I am,' or the Self, they are all speaking of one and the same great life, but have lost much time in endeavoring to prove each other wrong, (3/4)

So far liberal you don’t have a name yet? The political line is not a line. It is a circle (looking at it on end (side? edge?). The left and right will meet at the far back center. < Left > Right = Center <=> Bothies? Usies? Wesies? Thosies? What would that political position be called? (1/2)

Perception? Back from VA appt - another steroid shot - skeleton degeneration issues. USMC Vietnam Vet - so many of us (not me) in wheelchairs, using canes. Always difficult to see. Agent orange? But then it is a VA hospital...very very sad - we were so young and strong together. Not hardly losers!

I am perfectly happy with a small % of waste, fraud, and abuse to have a high % of help for those less fortunate around the world. Imagine if corp/billionaires felt the same and paid a fair share of tax - after all it was us that got them there. Everyone, including them, would be better off.

Lets see. Wealthiest country on earth. So much so we help humanity around the world with disasters, disease, wars, food...especially children. 3 months ago we were on a trend to do even more with then existing trade. Now we want/need more, not help anyone, here or there!? Only need fair tax here! 😭

Aiding those less fortunate, ESPECIALLY children, is necessary. So is knocking a bully on his ass - the two things ARE compatible. "Speak softly, and carry a big stick..." Promote Goodwill and Right Human Relations, but sometimes you need to use the stick when there is no other choice.

Soon the U.S. will be a major 'fixer upper' - good bones but lots of work getting it livable. The time is rapidly coming when the sleeping giant will awake...the largest force in the world is the will of the people. When woke is visible the whole world will change. Energy follows thought!

A cursory glance here and around the world seems to indicate 'they' have the wrong guy...based on the following biblical passage. (strange thoughts on a Sunday morn) 😇 "I, if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me." John 12:32
