It is &amp;quot;Love thy  neighbor as thyself&amp;quot;.  &lt;p&gt;As I sit here and think I believe many  people do love others as they do &lt;br&gt;themselves and that is why they are so angry  toward others is because they are so &lt;br&gt;angry at themselves.&lt;p&gt;They are  angry because they haven&amp;#39;t done this or done that.  Anger at others &lt;br&gt;because  they aren&amp;#39;t nearly as smart or intelligent yet have so much more.  &lt;br&gt;Anger,  anger, anger, we see it all around us.&lt;p&gt;But is telling a lot about  me for if I didn&amp;#39;t know what anger was I could &lt;br&gt;not identify it.  But, sadly  I do know what anger is and hopefully I have lain &lt;br&gt;my anger to  rest.&lt;p&gt;I have done and do my forgiveness work almost daily for  whenever an angry &lt;br&gt;thought pops up I immediately go into forgiveness mode first  forgiving myself &lt;br&gt;and working out all others.&lt;p&gt;It appears that  forgiveness is a never ending process that we must work on &lt;br&gt;constantly.   Personally I tend to believe as does Louise Hay that cancer is &lt;br&gt;caused by  repressed anger.  This is another reason I attempt to practice &lt;br&gt;forgiveness  is that I choose to live free of cancerous thoughts.&lt;p&gt;I choose to  bring love into my live and enjoy the sweetness thereof.  Love &lt;br&gt;is the one  thing that enables all to live freely.  I choose to be a lover of  &lt;br&gt;life.&lt;p&gt;I choose to be a lover of all that is positive in my world  and I choose to &lt;br&gt;share all the positives with all that wish to share with  me.&lt;p&gt;I have been a dreamer all of my life and still am for as I  dream I create &lt;br&gt;the life I choose to live.  I love being me for I am a  wonderfully simple &lt;br&gt;person with so many complex parts.&lt;br&gt;I love to think and  dream and see my life as I choose for it to be.   I &lt;br&gt;believe we  construct our life like an architect does and if we don&amp;#39;t then someone &lt;br&gt;else does  it for us.  &lt;p&gt;I choose to live life with grace and ease,  effortless and abundant with &lt;br&gt;appreciation and gratefulness to all life has to  offer which I accept  and allow &lt;br&gt;to happen for me and to me.&lt;p&gt;I  also choose to love you and Believe in you.&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev.

I  got on the bus during the morning &lt;br&gt;rush time.  We can&amp;#39;t call it rush hour  for it starts about 6:30am and goes &lt;br&gt;until about 8:00pm.   &lt;p&gt;Anyway, as I got on the bus I discovered it was more crowded than  usual with &lt;br&gt;every seat filled and the aisle also was full.  I got on and was  moving &lt;br&gt;toward the rear when a young Hispanic lady stood up and gave me her  seat.&lt;p&gt;Ordinarily, I would not have thought anything of it, however  this morning I &lt;br&gt;was in a lot of pain in my knees and chest also, which made me  appreciate it &lt;br&gt;even more.  I am fortunate in that most people respect my age  and will give &lt;br&gt;me a seat so I have grown not callous but possibly not as  appreciative as I &lt;br&gt;should be.&lt;p&gt;I always say thank you but this time I  must have said it with meaning in my &lt;br&gt;voice and posture for she gave me the  sweetest, kindess smile I have received &lt;br&gt;in a long time.&lt;p&gt;It is  amazing how a smile can say so much about who we are and how we can &lt;br&gt;brighten  someone&amp;#39;s day with such a little thing as a smile.  This ladies smile &lt;br&gt;made  my day go so much smoother than it had started out.  &lt;p&gt;I found  myself giving thanks for her and for everyone on the bus that day &lt;br&gt;for if it had  not been so crowded I may not have received the smile.&lt;p&gt;I found  myself  passing it on all day long to others and it made my day go &lt;br&gt;so much  faster.  Today I found myself thinking of it and passing it on to &lt;br&gt;others as  I am passing it on to you right now and I really hope you pass it and I &lt;br&gt;find it  coming back to me again tomorrow and for the rest of my life.&lt;p&gt;Give  a smile and receive a smile for as we give so do we receive and &lt;br&gt;anything we  give  shall be returned to us multiplied.  This is a promise given to  &lt;br&gt;us by the Universe.&lt;p&gt;There are so many promises like this that the  universe wants us to have the &lt;br&gt;very best in every thing but it can only give us  what we seek and if we see a &lt;br&gt;VW when we could have a Caddy that is not the  Universes fault but our own &lt;br&gt;limited thinking.  &lt;p&gt;Expand our  thinking expand our life.  Remember what ever we are seeking is &lt;br&gt;seeking  us.  So open our arms and invite it in by allowing and accepting it &lt;br&gt;and  knowing it is here now once we learn to open our eyes and see it.&lt;p&gt;I  am so happy, fortunate and blessed in so many ways that I know my own new  &lt;br&gt;vehicle is here now as soon as I learn to open my eyes and see it for I am  &lt;br&gt;giving thanks for it as I allow it and accept into my life with gratitude and  &lt;br&gt;appreciation just like I love you and Believe in YOU.&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev.

As I  was walking it appeared the sidewalk in &lt;br&gt;front of me was block by a large bush  which I had only an hour before came this &lt;br&gt;way from the opposite way without  seeing it.&lt;p&gt;As it happened the closer I got to the apparent blockage  I could see it had &lt;br&gt;been an optical illusion which got me to thinking and  wondering how many of &lt;br&gt;the blockages I had perceived in my life were real and how  many were illusion.&lt;p&gt;It makes me stop and wonder how much of what I  am seeing now is an illusion &lt;br&gt;and how much is real&lt;p&gt;As I told someway  the other day believe nothing whart we hear and only half &lt;br&gt;of what we  see.&lt;p&gt;I sit here exhausted from walking who knows how many miles and  waiting hours &lt;br&gt;for LA&amp;#39;s transit system rail and buses.  I am thankful for it  I am just so &lt;br&gt;tired.  Almost every step was taken with prayers of  thanksgiving and gratitude &lt;br&gt;that I could do it. &lt;p&gt;I found  myself blessing those that drove by and asking Spirit to bless each &lt;br&gt;one of them  in such a way they would realize how blessed they are for the &lt;br&gt;transportation  they have.&lt;p&gt;My feet and legs hurt, my head and back feel as if they  belong to someone &lt;br&gt;else and I realize they do for this body is only borrowed and  someday it will &lt;br&gt;be returned to the factory for an grade.&lt;p&gt;I am  grateful that I can feel and know that I can do what ever is necessary &lt;br&gt;to move  forward for that is the only direction I choose to go.&lt;p&gt;My body is  tired, my mind is invigorated with the possibilities ahead.   As &lt;br&gt;Tom  Hanks character in Castaway said &amp;quot;who knows what the next wave may bring.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;   And that is so true.&lt;p&gt;I have awaken in the morning in times past  with not a penny in my pocket and &lt;br&gt;gone to bed with hundreds if not thousands of  dollars.  Not just once  but &lt;br&gt;many, many times.  Just because I do  not have a fully functioning vehicle at &lt;br&gt;this moment doesn&amp;#39;t mean I won&amp;#39;t have  one in the next.&lt;p&gt;I believe for I am a believer in the goodness of  the Universe and that I am &lt;br&gt;a creator and that I am at this time creating a  wonderful vehicle or &lt;br&gt;something better with h arm to none and benefit to  all.&lt;p&gt;I believe in the Universe that created me and the Spirit that  guides me, but &lt;br&gt;most of all I love you and Believe in  YOU&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev.

Or possibly that is just a &lt;br&gt;way of passing the next 30  minutes while waiting for Enterprise rent a car &lt;br&gt;office to  open.&lt;p&gt;Talk about convenience it is located directly across the  street from my apt &lt;br&gt;so for the next two days I have wheels.  I tell you I am  very, very, very &lt;br&gt;grateful for the opportunity to be able to do  this.&lt;p&gt;I am renting it to go to the Expo in Santa Barbara tomorrow  the 9th of &lt;br&gt;November.  It will be nice to be in a new vehicle and just relax  on the way for I &lt;br&gt;shall meet my friend and former employee Chi in Westwood and  she will drive &lt;br&gt;there and back for me.&lt;p&gt;She has been a good friend  after my partner and I broke up so many of my &lt;br&gt;friends or what I thought were  friends no longer called or even took my calls &lt;br&gt;which is ok for we all need to  clean our closets once in a while and that goes &lt;br&gt;with our &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot;  also.&lt;p&gt;I have been doing my forgiveness work for almost two years  now and more and &lt;br&gt;more I am finding out it is a day to day experience.  We  don&amp;#39;t do it once and &lt;br&gt;it is done or at least not in my  experience.&lt;p&gt;Every time the thought of what happened comes to mind I  immediately go into &lt;br&gt;forgiveness mode first for myself and then for all  others.&lt;p&gt;It still amazes me that even in the mist of my peace I find  there is still &lt;br&gt;anger.  It isn&amp;#39;t the obsessive anger that possessed me for  so long afterwards &lt;br&gt;it is an anger that I allowed myself to react so severely and  lose so much &lt;br&gt;for it.&lt;p&gt;Now I am finding peace slowly but  surely.&lt;p&gt;The good thing that came out of this was discovering what  an awesome &lt;br&gt;wonderful person I am and have always been.  It has been like  discovering a lost &lt;br&gt;friend all over again and it feels wonderful to do  so.&lt;p&gt;Yes, to finally know that I love myself after so many years of  really not &lt;br&gt;even liking myself is fantastic.&lt;p&gt;To once again call me  friend is a feeling that is almost impossible to find &lt;br&gt;words for.  To have a  friend one must be a friend and that is to one&amp;#39;s self &lt;br&gt;also.&lt;p&gt;I have  been working at the location I am at now for about nine months and it &lt;br&gt;is really  nice to walk in and have so many people happy to see me.  It &lt;br&gt;appears that  it takes about six months to be accept or at least that appears to be &lt;br&gt;my  experience.&lt;p&gt;More and more I find myself missing my own book and  gift store.  It is &lt;br&gt;really a great feeling to be able to assist others in an  area I know so well.  If &lt;br&gt;it is to be it will happen and if not that is ok  also.&lt;p&gt;One thing I am happy to know is I love you and Believe in  YOU.&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev. W.

I &lt;br&gt;suppose that means that there is  turmoil or chaos within my soul and that is &lt;br&gt;probably true. &lt;p&gt;There  are times I would like to be like my late companion that had her life &lt;br&gt;planned  out and her vacations planned and reserved for at least three years &lt;br&gt;in  advance.&lt;p&gt;With my life all I know for sure is that I will awaken the  next day IF the &lt;br&gt;Universe allows me to and that is ok for I have learned over the  years how to &lt;br&gt;make Lemonade really well.&lt;p&gt;I can usually keep my head  in most situations and come out better than &lt;br&gt;before I started.  I am in a  phase right now that to tell the truth I am a little &lt;br&gt;dazed and confused.   Of course being a natural blond all of my life that isn&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;t an entirely new state  of mind.&lt;p&gt;This time however, I have to admit there is a small amount  of fear creeping &lt;br&gt;in.  I even asked my son last night if He thought I was  going senile.  He didn&lt;br&gt;&amp;#39;t give me an answer exactly He just begin to name of  the things happening &lt;br&gt;and showing a perfectly natural cause for  each.&lt;p&gt;My son&amp;#39;s friends all call him the old man and he is the one  they go to when &lt;br&gt;they need advice for he is very level headed and never does the  crazy things &lt;br&gt;his dad does or did.&lt;p&gt;One day I asked him how he got so  wise.  Without batting an eye or cracking &lt;br&gt;a smile he looked at me and said  &amp;quot;from listening to you, Dad.&amp;quot;  &lt;p&gt;If anyone had been around they  may have noticed a tear in my eye.&lt;p&gt;Yes, I am wondering what is  going on with so many things breaking and others &lt;br&gt;becoming lost.  My van  broke down and now I can not even find the keys to &lt;br&gt;it.  Last Sunday I lost  my cell phone and after looking every where I could &lt;br&gt;think of I ask the angels to  show me where it was.&lt;p&gt;When my son called my cell number it was  answered by the RTD metro Lost and &lt;br&gt;Found letting us know where it was.   Thank you angels.&lt;p&gt;I am renting a car for the week end to go   Santa Barbara for the Holistic &lt;br&gt;fair this Sunday.  I intend to get a reading  or two from some of my friends and &lt;br&gt;see if this  is just a matter of old  things passing away and new things &lt;br&gt;coming in which I believe is what is  happening.  &lt;p&gt;Anyway I will keep you posted as to what is  happening and one thing I know &lt;br&gt;is there is a new world rapidly approaching and  that I love you and I Believe &lt;br&gt;in YOU.&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev.

I  personally believe&lt;br /&gt;if he lives to see a second term it will be a  miracle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While we have given him a clear mandate to make changes in  Washington it&lt;br /&gt;brings to mind another young charismatic young man with dreams of  change and how&lt;br /&gt;those so entrenched in Washington refused to allow him to dothe  work of the&lt;br /&gt;American people choosing to end his life with a bullet in Daily  Plaza in&lt;br /&gt;Dallas, Texas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was in the military in those days  stationed at Wheelus Air Force Base in&lt;br /&gt;Tripoli, Libya, North Africa when I heard  the news that President Kennedy had&lt;br /&gt;been slain by a sniper in &lt;br /&gt;Dallas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess we all remember where we were and what we were  doing when we&lt;br /&gt;received the news that our President and Commander in Chief had  been killed, much&lt;br /&gt;like we shall all remember where we were when we learned that  Barrack Obama had&lt;br /&gt;been elected President.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have lived almost 65  years and have seen electricity brought into the&lt;br /&gt;country farm house I was living  in as a boy of 5 or 6.  I have seen men landed on&lt;br /&gt;the moon.  I have  had the privilege to ride on the Concord at an altitude of&lt;br /&gt;60,000 feet and a  speed in excess of mach 2 which is over a thousand miles&lt;br /&gt;an hour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I  have seen newspapers become almost extinct and the internet to become a &lt;br /&gt;necessity to most people.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have seen so much but never did  I think that in my life time would I see&lt;br /&gt;an African American elected to the  White House.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I truly believed we would see a woman elected  President before we would an&lt;br /&gt;African Americanman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must say I am  proud of our country for doing this for it means we have&lt;br /&gt;come much farther than  I thought we have.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although we can elect an African American as  President yet we choose to&lt;br /&gt;discriminate against gay and lesbians and refuse to  allow them to choose who wish&lt;br /&gt;to marry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have come so far yet it  is obvious we have so much farther to go yet I&lt;br /&gt;have come so far as to love you  and Believe in YOU&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br /&gt;Rev.

It appears, with my fingers, eyes and legs &lt;br&gt;crossed that it is back to a  semblance of normal.  I am still searching for a &lt;br&gt;few files and programs but  for the most part it is back.&lt;p&gt;I made an interesting discovery  through this that after the initial crash if &lt;br&gt;I had paid attention to all of the  installation instructions when I &lt;br&gt;reinstalled my operating system I would not  have lost everything. &lt;p&gt;So, as so many things in life are for all of  us, my difficulties were &lt;br&gt;brought on by my not paying attention.  How many  times in life has this been true?  &lt;br&gt;I know for me it has been many, many  times.&lt;p&gt;Either that or not considering the consequences.  Dam  the torpedoes full &lt;br&gt;speed ahead as I think Davy Jones said.  This has been  my attitude and as a &lt;br&gt;result my life has been an interesting life filled with  challenges.&lt;p&gt;I have discovered and purchased an interesting program  by Joe Vitle and Brad &lt;br&gt;Yates entitled Money beyond Belief.  It involves EFT  and Guided Imagery done &lt;br&gt;in the most professional style I have seen in a long  time.  &lt;p&gt;Yes, I invested my money in this program which is an  investment in myself.  &lt;br&gt;For those of you that no me if I can&amp;#39;t get it for  free then I usually will &lt;br&gt;not get it.   It is amazing how with a little  initiative one can find almost &lt;br&gt;anything on the web.&lt;p&gt;When tried a  sample of it I was so impressed by the style and &lt;br&gt;professionalism of Brad Yates  as I am a hypno-therapist also and having been for many years &lt;br&gt;I can recognize  superior work and this is it.&lt;p&gt;I recommend this program to you and  you can find it at &lt;a href="http://moneybeyondbelief.com"&gt;moneybeyondbelief.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;or google money beyond belief or brad  yatesto find it.  I believe you will &lt;br&gt;be as impressed as I was by  it.&lt;p&gt;As most of you know I have been personally having some health  issues which I &lt;br&gt;believe this program will assist me in.  &lt;p&gt;I  have been using it to release some old limiting beliefs and yes I still &lt;br&gt;had a  few which were buried very, very deeply and this program has allowed me &lt;br&gt;to  release many of them and I shall continue to use it for some time to  come.&lt;p&gt;Allow me to encourage you to get this program and not just  get it but use &lt;br&gt;it.  The guided imagery is the best I have ever used and  Brad&amp;#39;s voice is very &lt;br&gt;comforting and soothing which for me is unusual for I  usually prefer a female &lt;br&gt;voice.  His voice though is like honey smooth and  sweet.  &lt;br&gt;Enjoy it as I enjoy you and know as I know that I love you and  I Believe in &lt;br&gt;You.  &lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;br&gt;Rev. W.

If the outside is no responsive &lt;br&gt;then it is because the inside is being non  responsive to something or someone.&lt;p&gt;My job is to figure out what or  who I am not being responsive to as I work &lt;br&gt;on restoring my computer to its usual  robust nature.&lt;p&gt;I have to admit I am stumped as to what to do next  with my computer.  It &lt;br&gt;will not log on to AOL or activate the internet  explorer browser or even shut &lt;br&gt;down.  Likewise, I have no idea what or who I  am not responding to  Could it be &lt;br&gt;Spirit I am not listening or responding  to?  As I said yesterday this &lt;br&gt;requires meditation and a lot of  it.&lt;p&gt;Someone may ask why I am going into all of this personal  stuff.  First off &lt;br&gt;it is to let you know that with all of my knowledge and  work I also have &lt;br&gt;things I am working thorough and also I know that if I am  having these &lt;br&gt;difficulties then there are others also having their own similar  difficulties.  As I &lt;br&gt;work though mine then it may assist someone else in  their endeavors.&lt;p&gt;Remember we are one mind in billions of bodies and  what affects one in &lt;br&gt;effect affects all.  As I hurt or suffer so do others  for non of us truly are &lt;br&gt;alone.&lt;p&gt;As I put my request into the  Universe for assistance someone out there has &lt;br&gt;the answer and will send it to me  via our thought processes.  &lt;p&gt;I am now at this time requesting  my angels tech and otherwise to assist me  &lt;br&gt;in figuring this out and  assisting me to fix and restore those things out of &lt;br&gt;balance in my life.  I  give thanks that it is done and know that as I am &lt;br&gt;writing this they are working  and giving me the answer at the right and perfect &lt;br&gt;time.&lt;p&gt;I give  thanks for all of the things in my life and know that there are &lt;br&gt;wonderful things  happening in my life even now and I allow them and accept them &lt;br&gt;into my  life.  All that the Universe has for me now and always I accept and &lt;br&gt;allow  and give thanks for and so it is.&lt;p&gt;I discovered a wonderful program  yesterday prior to my computer crashing &lt;br&gt;again called money beyond belief  utilizing EFT and hypnosis.  It was an awesome &lt;br&gt;three hours and more ahead  today.&lt;p&gt;I in fact am going to head over that way and do some more of  it as I allow &lt;br&gt;the angels to heal my computer.&lt;p&gt;Know that I love you  and Believe in you.&lt;p&gt;P.S. Hoo Ray the Angeles did it and it is back  up and running&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Blessings,&lt;p&gt;Rev. W.

&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Happily I have  most everything back to a semblance of order.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I have titled this piece today  resurrection because there comes a time at least once in a lot of our lives when  we have to resurrect or rebuild our life.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;I have done it many times in my life.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;And that is ok  and more than that it is good for us to go back and rebuild our life starting  with our earliest beliefs and checking out and seeing if they are working for  us.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;At this time  there is a lot going on in my life, first my TV went out then my car loses its  transmission and then my computer.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;So I am going to use today's article to dissect the situation to see if I  can see what is happening so I may make the needed corrections to my  life.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;First thing  the TV wouldn't start or respond, then the transmission began slipping on the  minivan , in essence not responding then my laptop wouldn't respond. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;This is  interesting not responding so what or who in my life am I not responding  to?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;This is a most interesting  question.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Who or what am I not  responding to?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Who or what am I not  responding to?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;This is going to  require meditation.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Rebuilding a  life is much like rebuilding a building.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;First it must be completely destroyed.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Yes it is extremely painful, but there  are times it must be done for to try to rebuild on a damaged or faulty  foundation is dangerous for all concerned.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Then we must  make a blueprint or plan of how we wish to rebuild our building or life.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;We must check out the ground we are  building on and see if it is firm enough for rebuilding or does it need to be  reinforced.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Then we must  begin to build a new foundation strong enough to support us in the strongest  storms of life.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Then brick by  brick we begin to build the walls and structure it self always keeping a level  at hand to make sure the floors and walls are straight.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;So also do we keep a level which is a  set of beliefs or a code that will keep &lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;us straight and level.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;It is up to us  to put into that code anything that will assist us in moving forward and  upward.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;A code that will keep us  strong when the storms of life hit, yes the same ones that destroyed us before  we shall now be able to survive them and not just survive them but rise above  them.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Yes, a code  that will be ours and ours alone.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Oh, it may have been copied from someone we admire, &lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;however it &lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;has been made our own by our altering it  to fit our own needs and desires.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Yes, a  resurrected life is one to be admired and complemented for, yet the building  never stops for it is a day to day project always building, repairing and  shoring up those areas that may be weak.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;I love you and  admire you and remember I Believe in YOU.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

It seems  I think that a lot and then I remember &lt;br&gt;metaphysically there is no such thing as  time or space.&lt;p&gt;What  a discovery that one can visit beauty  when ever they choose.  I shut &lt;br&gt;my eyes and go to Toronto when ever I choose  to visit this young lady.&lt;p&gt;I love beauty in the feminine form.   I love to observe ladies of all kind &lt;br&gt;for to me that is true beauty.  I love  to listen to beauty speak for the words &lt;br&gt;of beauty brings tears to my eyes.   I love to love beauty.&lt;p&gt;I have found an interesting thing that what  I find to be beautiful someone &lt;br&gt;else may not.  I guess it is true that  beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  &lt;br&gt;Beauty, like all things are a matter  of perception, therefore the eye of the &lt;br&gt;beholder.&lt;p&gt;I have found  people, ladies and men that at first appeared to be rather &lt;br&gt;plain and then they  began to speak and love began to flow from their hearts and &lt;br&gt;minds and in front  of my eyes they transformed into beings of beauty.&lt;p&gt;I love beautiful  objects, art of all types, architecture, nature.  Just to &lt;br&gt;watch the sun go  down over the ocean is such a blessing.  I love to watch a &lt;br&gt;beautiful woman  walk.  I see children playing with their animals with such a &lt;br&gt;freedom of  joy.  &lt;p&gt;It is at times like this that I realize what a blessed  man I am to be living &lt;br&gt;in such a world of beauty.  I wonder how in the world  I can assist others in &lt;br&gt;seeing this beautiful world that I see for I see a world  of beauty, love and &lt;br&gt;peace.  &lt;p&gt;This is my world.  I sit  here today knowing that my van died yesterday and &lt;br&gt;intellectually have no idea  where or if there is another one coming while in &lt;br&gt;my heart I know there is even  if I have no idea how or from where.  I know the &lt;br&gt;Universe loves me and  knows I desire another vehicle so it will allow one to &lt;br&gt;come to me in its perfect  time as in this or something better with harm to &lt;br&gt;none with thanks and  gratefulness I allow it to be so and so it is.&lt;p&gt;I love life and life  loves me.  I love sitting here writing this though I &lt;br&gt;know at times I tend  to ramble on and on and on.  The thing is that I also know &lt;br&gt;that within the  ramblings there are nuggets of wisdom if one chooses to &lt;br&gt;search and mine them for  their own use.&lt;p&gt;One thing I do know is that I love beauty that is  why I love you and believe &lt;br&gt;in you.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

Financially, I have had &lt;br&gt;better shows and I have had worse  shows.  Just being able to see old friends &lt;br&gt;and make new ones was what makes  going to these so wonderful.  &lt;p&gt;I did a few readings and  counseling sessions.  I guess I didn&amp;#39;t put my &lt;br&gt;protection around me for I  allowed a couple of them to sap my energy.  I tend to &lt;br&gt;forget that there are  always energy vampires at these events.&lt;p&gt;Many times they have no  idea what they are doing and then again there are &lt;br&gt;those that keep going on the  energy of others.&lt;p&gt;We had the privilege of being hosted by the  Seaside Church of Religious &lt;br&gt;Science in their new facilities.  It was a  really nice facility and we enjoyed it &lt;br&gt;tremendously.&lt;p&gt;The lady I  rode down with is a good friend to me since we use to work &lt;br&gt;together in the store  I was co-owner of and has been a good friend to me since.&lt;p&gt;I was  really glad she was driving.  It was only about an hour and 45 minute &lt;br&gt;drive  from my house, but boy was I tired when I arrived home Saturday night.  &lt;br&gt; Lots of times my son allows me to use his car on these road trips.  This  &lt;br&gt;time I was really glad to have a driver.&lt;p&gt;Dean the show facilitator  is interested in my setting up a secondhand book &lt;br&gt;store at the events which I  would love to do if I can find some younger person &lt;br&gt;to help with the lifting and  moving of the boxes.  &lt;p&gt;I love to do the events and be around  all of the people and feel the energy &lt;br&gt;they all put out.  It is almost like  a spiritual carnival of sorts. &lt;p&gt;Just took a break to go eat and  take a walk.  God / the Universe is good for &lt;br&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t think for a few  minutes I would make it without calling 911.  I am &lt;br&gt;home now sitting in my  recliner and writing.  To tell the truth I may still &lt;br&gt;call 911 for I am  really hurting.  Going to take a break and get back to you &lt;br&gt;in a  bit.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m back and life just is.  I am doing some deep  breathing exercises and &lt;br&gt;controlling the pain with meditation also.  There  are times we just have to let &lt;br&gt;it be.  My time isn&amp;#39;t yet for I still have  lots of work to do, people to see &lt;br&gt;and ladies to love.  &lt;p&gt;Put me  on your prayer list for there are so many wonderful things in my life &lt;br&gt;to work on  at this time, from manifesting a wonderful vehicle to my healing &lt;br&gt;which I know is  all happening even as I write to you, here and now or &lt;br&gt;something better with harm  to none and so it is. &lt;p&gt;It is exciting to get up every morning and  see what exciting new things the &lt;br&gt;Universe has for me today.  This may even  be the day I see my wonderful new &lt;br&gt;lady friend enter my life.  Who knows, it  could happen.&lt;p&gt;No matter what you are here and I love you and  Believe in you.&lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

Tomorrow October 18th, 2008 I will  be in Encinitas, &lt;br&gt;out side of San Diego, close to Del Mar for a Holistic / Green  Fair where I &lt;br&gt;shall be doing spiritual counseling and coaching for several  hours.  The event &lt;br&gt;will be from 10:00 until 6:00 and I shall have to leave  about 3:00 as I am &lt;br&gt;riding with a friend.&lt;p&gt;I always enjoy these  events for it gives me an opportunity to  be with like &lt;br&gt;minded individuals,  people that are nuts like me.  That is a good thing.  I &lt;br&gt;amazes me more  and more for as I look around and talk to people more and more &lt;br&gt;I find there are  nuts like me in the most unlikely places.&lt;p&gt;1996 when I first started  coming into this people didn&amp;#39;t accept it as they &lt;br&gt;do now.  I personally  believe we are very close to the hundred monkey. &lt;p&gt;For those of you  not familiar with the hundred monkey principle there was a &lt;br&gt;group of people  studying monkeys in a group of islands when they noticed a &lt;br&gt;thing happening over  and over again.  As they taught or showed the monkeys on &lt;br&gt;one island  something as they taught the hundred monkey then all of the monkeys &lt;br&gt;on all of  the islands began doing the same thing.&lt;p&gt;In our case we believe that  as we approach our hundred monkey which may in &lt;br&gt;actuality be the 100 million  person that is awakened spiritually that we will &lt;br&gt;see our new age appear with  spirituality breaking out all over.  &lt;p&gt;Personally I believe it  is very near for just like using a new face cream &lt;br&gt;brings out all of the  impurities I believe all the apparent negatives happening &lt;br&gt;around us are the  negatives being purged from our system and then  bingo…&lt;br&gt;Nirvana.&lt;p&gt;There may even come a time when we are expelled to  our own spiritual world &lt;br&gt;and the non spiritual people may be in one place while  we are in another or it &lt;br&gt;could be a parallel universe or dimension…who  knows.  It really doesn&amp;#39;t &lt;br&gt;matter how it happens I just know it is happening  and soon.&lt;p&gt;Can&amp;#39;t you feel the shift as it is starting to move faster  and faster.   Soon &lt;br&gt;we shall elect our first woman to a major political  office and not to longer &lt;br&gt;after that she may even be the highest elected official  in the land. &lt;p&gt;I for one can only say bring it on.  To have a  smart, intelligent woman &lt;br&gt;running the government can only be a good thing.   A vote for M is actually a vote &lt;br&gt;for SP.  I see in the not too distant  future it will be SP against HRC.  Now &lt;br&gt;that will be interesting.   &lt;p&gt;You see the thing is if the ladies of this country decided to put  one of &lt;br&gt;their own in the White House they couldn&amp;#39;t be stopped…for whether the men  want &lt;br&gt;to admit it our not the ladies actually do have the power in this  country.  &lt;br&gt;The majority of the wealth is in their hands due to inherited  wealth and the &lt;br&gt;control over the men just because of the fact they are female and  the power &lt;br&gt;that gives those that know how to use it.&lt;p&gt;Ladies use your  power and use it wisely for remember I love you and I &lt;br&gt;Believe in  you&lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

I sit here in my apt, in my recliner with &lt;br&gt;my tv that is connected  to a satellite that receives images from all around &lt;br&gt;the world. &lt;p&gt;I  remember writing an affirmation several years ago saying &amp;quot;I have a state &lt;br&gt;of the  art computer connected to unlimited databases&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;Now my computer  isn&amp;#39;t state of the art or linked to unlimited databases but &lt;br&gt;compared to my  Commodore 64 it is state of the art.  The databases may not be &lt;br&gt;unlimited  but compared to my 1983 billboards I accessed they are more than I &lt;br&gt;ever dreamed  of having.&lt;p&gt;I have learned also to add to my affirmations &amp;quot;this are  something better &lt;br&gt;with harm to none.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Wealth is something that we in  America sometimes get lost in.  We are the &lt;br&gt;wealthiest nation in the history  of the world.  Our poorest people and I mean &lt;br&gt;those that are sleeping in the  street are still wealthier than in almost any &lt;br&gt;country in the world with the  possible exception of Holland. &lt;p&gt;A street person here still has  access to numerous free beds to sleep in if &lt;br&gt;they choose to sit through an hour  or so of listening to someone else&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt;beliefs.  They have access to free  medical of all kinds.  Most states even give &lt;br&gt;them spending  money.&lt;p&gt;I have no problem with any of this for as we give so do we  receive.  There &lt;br&gt;was a time after my stroke when I had two teenagers and no  way to provide for &lt;br&gt;them that the state came to my aid.&lt;p&gt;I sit here  now and know it is a miracle every month that my bills are paid &lt;br&gt;and I eat so  very good.  I am blessed and wealthy beyond measure.&lt;p&gt;I always  lived my live knowing that no matter what happened I would be taken &lt;br&gt;care.   I didn&amp;#39;t know how I just knew I would.&lt;p&gt;I have lived in my van, on  school buses, motor homes, in $500,000.00 houses &lt;br&gt;slept on the floor of my  shop.  It didn&amp;#39;t matter for I was doing what I &lt;br&gt;wanted to do.   &lt;p&gt;I live a great life on less than most people make in a couple of  weeks.  I &lt;br&gt;write, go to my part time job.  Stop by the bar for a diet  coke just to be &lt;br&gt;around people.  This is new for there was a period of about  three years I never &lt;br&gt;left my apt except for medical or to  eat.&lt;p&gt;Wealth is relative.  I am so  wealthy it is  amazing.  My apt has over a &lt;br&gt;thousand books in the living room.   &lt;p&gt;I am so blessed to see my son most every day as he lives next door  to me.  I &lt;br&gt;look through this article and see I, I, I.&lt;p&gt;That in  itself isn&amp;#39;t so egoish as it is sad.  All of my life I had the fear &lt;br&gt;of  finding myself alone at the end of my life.&lt;p&gt;I realize that as Job  said the thing I greatly feared has come upon me.  &lt;br&gt;This is true and it  always will.  What ever we fear will find us.  &lt;p&gt;Then I  realize I am not alone.  I may not have a companion now, who knows &lt;br&gt;what  tomorrow may bring, but I do have my children and my grandchild for my son &lt;br&gt; hasn&amp;#39;t left his mark yet. &lt;p&gt;That is what I am waiting for is to see  my son&amp;#39;s child and I shall or not &lt;br&gt;for I realize it doesn&amp;#39;t matter for I can  leave now and be happy for I have &lt;br&gt;seen and done more than a boy from Waco ever  thought possible.&lt;p&gt;Most of all I have you out there and know that I  am truly not alone for I &lt;br&gt;love you and Believe in you.&lt;p&gt;PS.&lt;br&gt;The  beauty of writing these things is knowing that it is Spirit talking to &lt;br&gt;me and  allowing you to listen in.  Wealth is in the mind of the beholder as &lt;br&gt;all  things are.  Think yourself rich, you are.  Think yourself poor, you  are.  &lt;br&gt;I am wealthy beyond belief for I know I am loved by the Universe, my  family &lt;br&gt;and yes, by you my readers.&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

A clich&amp;#233;&amp;#39; perhaps, a truth none the &lt;br&gt;less. I personally believe that  a focused, disciplined mind can achieve &lt;br&gt;anything it chooses to  achieve.&lt;p&gt;The statement by Napoleon Hill that anything the mind of  man can conceive &lt;br&gt;and believe, the mind of man can achieve is to me one of the  most brilliant &lt;br&gt;statements in the history of mankind.&lt;p&gt;How do  we achieve a focused and discipline mind?  I believe it begins as all &lt;br&gt; things do with the desire, then the intent, then the conscious decision to  &lt;br&gt;develop it.&lt;p&gt;The above is actually the formula for manifestation  thought, feeling, action &lt;br&gt;equaling results TFAR if you will.&lt;p&gt;I have  always been a person that lived in their mind.  I have been a &lt;br&gt;daydreamer  most of my life and it is amazing how many of my dreams came about.  I &lt;br&gt;was  amazed until I realized that daydream is a for of visualization and when I &lt;br&gt;began  to use my daydreams in a creative way.&lt;p&gt;Wow, what a difference it  made.  I have realized  something else also, that &lt;br&gt;we each have to have  our own personal code to live by.  It doesn&amp;#39;t matter &lt;br&gt;what it is as long as  it make sense to us and works for us.  &lt;p&gt;Sometimes it doesn&amp;#39;t  have to make sense it just has to work for us.  The &lt;br&gt;challenge today is that  most people have no code or the one they do have is not &lt;br&gt;working for them.   &lt;p&gt;This piece today is about the mind and before I wander to far a  field let me &lt;br&gt;return and said that our mind is our mind and if we aren&amp;#39;t doing  our own &lt;br&gt;thinking then someone else is thinking for us.  &lt;p&gt;The  big question today is who is doing your thinking and why aren&amp;#39;t you &lt;br&gt;doing your  own thinking?  &lt;p&gt;Why give it up to Uncle Sam or to your pastor  or your spouse.  If you are &lt;br&gt;over 18 and not living at home why aren&amp;#39;t you  thinking for yourself?&lt;p&gt;I say over 18 and not living at home for if  you are over 18 and still living &lt;br&gt;at home you are under your parents roof and  their rules.  &lt;p&gt;Even in this situation one can still have their  code and think for their &lt;br&gt;selves as long as it respects the situation they find  themselves in.&lt;p&gt;Respect yourself first and then respect all others  for as we treat others so &lt;br&gt;we will be treated. &lt;p&gt;Also know that if  someone else treats us wrong it is only wrong if we think &lt;br&gt;it is.  We do not  have to be affected by the way someone treats us for we &lt;br&gt;never know what happened  previous to cause this person to treat us this way.&lt;p&gt;I know that  when my thinking is wrong I wind up hurting myself by hitting my &lt;br&gt;head, my  finger, stubbing my toe or something awkward.  &lt;p&gt;The Universe  is always talking to us the thing is we aren&amp;#39;t always listening &lt;br&gt;so what I am  hearing now is the Universe saying to me I Love You and I &lt;br&gt;Believe in  you.&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

Love it or leave it…&lt;br&gt;for this  refers to all things in love…love it or leave it.  &lt;p&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t  matter if it is your job, relationship or what it is, if you don&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;t love it leave  it for you aren&amp;#39;t doing it or yourself any good by staying &lt;br&gt;there.   &lt;p&gt;You can always tell when it is time to leave for that is when  gratitude &lt;br&gt;becomes attitude.  When you just can&amp;#39;t stand to be where you  are.&lt;p&gt;But, wait what about that other old saying &amp;quot;Grow where you are  planted&amp;quot;.  &lt;br&gt;That is fine as long as you are growing.  If, however, you  aren&amp;#39;t growing and &lt;br&gt;only surviving  then it is time to transplant your  self.&lt;p&gt;Change is difficult you say, well, I say that is an idea so  change your &lt;br&gt;mind, change your life.&lt;p&gt;I was going to write that life  isn&amp;#39;t a clich&amp;#233;&amp;#39; and it isn&amp;#39;t when I realized &lt;br&gt;I actually wasn&amp;#39;t sure about just  what a clich&amp;#233; was.  So, by the magic of &lt;br&gt;the internet I found a site called  the &amp;quot;clich&amp;#233; finder&amp;quot;.  &lt;p&gt;Upon looking here I find the following  definition of a clich&amp;#233;&amp;#39;: &lt;p&gt;A cliche is a vivid depiction of an abstract matter that works by means  of &lt;br&gt;analogy and/or exaggeration. &lt;br&gt;The picture used usually is drawn from  everyday experience so that the &lt;br&gt;recipient most probably is able to relate to the  depiction by tentatively querying &lt;br&gt;his reaction to what is conveyed in the  picture. &lt;p&gt;This is ok but what got me was what the writer said a few sentences further  &lt;br&gt;down:&lt;br&gt;but it has been overused to the point that its sole function is to mark  its &lt;br&gt;user as a lazy thinker.&lt;p&gt;This got to me for I was shocked to realize how right the writer was for as  &lt;br&gt;I think about it I think in clich&amp;#233;&amp;#39;s quiet a bit.  Does this qualify me as  a &amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;lazy thinker&amp;quot;?&lt;p&gt;Then Spirit says to me &amp;quot;so what&amp;quot; at least you are  thinking.  Does it matter &lt;br&gt;if you are a &amp;quot;lazy thinker&amp;quot; or perhaps you are an  &amp;quot;efficient thinker&amp;quot;.  &lt;p&gt;I love Spirit for it is always on my side as the Universe / Spirit  always &lt;br&gt;is.  A thinker is a thinker that is all I need to remember for if I  allowed &lt;br&gt;myself I could sit here all day beating myself up for being a &amp;quot;lazy  thinker&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;People recognize clich&amp;#233;&amp;#39;s and know before you finish the sentence what  you &lt;br&gt;are going to say.  &lt;br&gt;I may be wrong but I think that people identify  with what they know.&lt;p&gt;I am here to be as real as I possibly can be and if I attempt to write  above &lt;br&gt;the level that most people read then I am doing no one a favor.   &lt;br&gt;I am here to convey or give to you some hopefully wise words to help you  &lt;br&gt;avoid some of the errors that I appeared to  have made.&lt;p&gt;I would not  listen to anyone and excused it by saying &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s my  life and my &lt;br&gt;mistakes to make&amp;quot;.  &lt;br&gt;What I have learned is it is not my  life it is Spirit&amp;#39;s life.  My job isn&amp;#39;t &lt;br&gt;to make mistakes it is to think  about what I do and then do what is right &lt;br&gt;for all.&lt;p&gt;Do I do that all of the time?  I wish that I could in all honesty  say yes.  &lt;br&gt;The truth however is no I do not and then I compound it but  saying I am just &lt;br&gt;human.&lt;p&gt;I am getting better at least now I recognize it when I do it and one day I  &lt;br&gt;shall recognize it prior to doing it so I will not do it.  That day is  coming &lt;br&gt;and soon.&lt;p&gt;One thing that is here now is that I love you and I Believe in  you.&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

I remember I &lt;br&gt;think it was 1998 or maybe  1999 when my companion and I went to China for &lt;br&gt;several weeks.  One of the  first things we were warned of was (me especially) &lt;br&gt;was to be careful of what we  said and did while in China. &lt;p&gt;The reason being that while we were  use to saying and speaking our minds &lt;br&gt;here in America we were reminded what a  different country China is and how their &lt;br&gt;laws are much different than we enjoy  here.&lt;p&gt;I am happy and proud to be an American.   To me it  is a shame that others &lt;br&gt;can not enjoy the freedoms everyday we enjoy.  I  find it so hard to imagine &lt;br&gt;women not having the opportunity to be all they can  possibly be until I remember &lt;br&gt;it hasn&amp;#39;t been that long that they have enjoyed  that here as well.&lt;p&gt;I really wished that I had learned earlier that  the secret to a happy life &lt;br&gt;was to make my lady happy and then I would be happy  for if our ladies aren&amp;#39;t &lt;br&gt;happy then no one is happy.  The secret is to make  them happy as long as it &lt;br&gt;makes us happy then when it no longer makes us happy to  make them happy then &lt;br&gt;that is when it is time to leave.&lt;p&gt;Making the  other happy and pleasing them.  If I had done that then today my &lt;br&gt;best  friend probably wouldn&amp;#39;t be my laptop.&lt;p&gt;I love women for they are  special and so much smarter than men will ever be. &lt;br&gt; God bless them for  allowing us to believe the myth that we were the &lt;br&gt;stronger sex and myth it is and  always has been. &lt;p&gt;It has been proven that women make much better  fighter pilots than men for &lt;br&gt;their bodies handle the higher pulls of gravity G&amp;#39;s  better than men.  The &lt;br&gt;problem is can you imagine a squadron of PMS fighter  pilots no one would stand a &lt;br&gt;chance.  &lt;p&gt;All joking aside, women  are smarter and more able to deal with stress than &lt;br&gt;men can.  I can look  back over my life and know that if I had listened to the &lt;br&gt;women in my life what a  different life it would have been.  &lt;p&gt;In many ways I am  thankful I didn&amp;#39;t listen for I have lived a life that very &lt;br&gt;few have had the  privilege to live.&lt;p&gt;Thank you Universe for this life and Thank you  Will for this opportunity to &lt;br&gt;write.  &lt;br&gt;As always know that I love you and  Believe in YOU.&lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

It is &lt;br&gt;also a matter of  perception as most things in life are.  &lt;p&gt;As a man I enjoy an  assertive woman especially one that is liberated enough &lt;br&gt;to let me know that she  is interested in me.  However, one that shows up at &lt;br&gt;my front door  constantly and will not take no for an answer causing me to be &lt;br&gt;more abrupt than  I would normally choose to be is not to my liking.  &lt;p&gt;Being  assertive puts you out there to get the things you want.  Being &lt;br&gt;aggressive  puts one out there in the other persons space taking what isn&amp;#39;t theirs.  &lt;br&gt;I  like being given a choice.  Whether it is chicken or beef or it is your  &lt;br&gt;place or mine and with whom I choose to make that  choice.&lt;p&gt;Assertiveness is necessary to keep us from being door  mats.  Of course if we &lt;br&gt;do not choose to be door mats then we do not put  ourselves in that position &lt;br&gt;in the first place.  We can not be walked on if  we are not in that position.&lt;p&gt;Going with the flow keeps us out of  that situation.  Usually it is the &lt;br&gt;aggressive person that finds themselves  in that position for they blocked the door &lt;br&gt;to start with and the other person  goes over them to get to where they want &lt;br&gt;to go. &lt;p&gt;The thing is we  put ourselves in that position and then complained when the &lt;br&gt;other person used us  in that manner.  &lt;p&gt;We get what we put out there.  What  goes around comes around. It is amazing &lt;br&gt;when we do not think of the consequences  to our actions.  For every action &lt;br&gt;there is an equal and opposite  reaction.  Cause and effect, the law of &lt;br&gt;attraction.&lt;p&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t  matter what we call it but we always get what we put out there.  &lt;br&gt;Put out  good and get good in return.  Put out the other and receive the  &lt;br&gt;other.  Life is just as good as we think it is and beyond that it is as  good as &lt;br&gt;we allow it to be.  &lt;p&gt;I can remember people offering to  help me and with a prideful manner I would &lt;br&gt;decline because I wanted to do it  myself.  There is almost always someone &lt;br&gt;willing to help you when you have  been the type of person to help others.  &lt;br&gt;However, when you haven&amp;#39;t been one  to assist others then don&amp;#39;t complain when &lt;br&gt;there is no one to assist  you.&lt;p&gt;The Universe wants only to give you what ever you want out of  life, but it &lt;br&gt;can only give you what it perceives you want and that perception is  from the &lt;br&gt;way we think, speak and act.&lt;p&gt;One of my pastors and  teachers when I was first coming into this way of &lt;br&gt;thinking wrote a book of  prayer treatments entitled &amp;quot;the Universe always says &lt;br&gt;Yes, Yes,  Yes.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Being new to this it took me a while to realize what was  being said.  The &lt;br&gt;Universe always says Yes, Yes, Yes, the trick is we have  to say yes first.  An &lt;br&gt;expression I heard recently was paying it  forward.&lt;p&gt;Whatever we want we have to put it out there first before  we can ever &lt;br&gt;receive it.  We put it out there by seeing it and creating it  in our minds then &lt;br&gt;keeping that picture there until it is in front of us in  &amp;quot;reality&amp;quot; for all &lt;br&gt;things start in our minds first.&lt;p&gt;What I am seeing  right here and right now is that I love each and every one &lt;br&gt;of you and I Believe  in YOU.&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

For  someone to &lt;br&gt;appreciate us for who we are, not what we have or do not have.   Just to see us, really &lt;br&gt;see us as Dr. Gene Scott used to say for people to see  past the externals to &lt;br&gt;the true person within.  &lt;p&gt;Allowance is  the ability to allow others to be who they are without &lt;br&gt;judgment.  To know  that  within everyone is goodness if only it is allowed to emerge &lt;br&gt;by our  allowing it.&lt;p&gt;Acceptance of who we are, not who you think we  are.  There are so many &lt;br&gt;people just wanting to be accepted.  Not just  wanting to be but begging to be and &lt;br&gt;when they aren&amp;#39;t they retaliate with  violence&lt;p&gt;It is amazing how many master and phd degrees there are on  a circus or &lt;br&gt;carnival midway.  There was a time in my life, more than once  actually that when &lt;br&gt;the pressures of life became to great I would escape to the  carnival for there &lt;br&gt;you are who you say you are and no one cares where you came  from or even &lt;br&gt;where you are going.&lt;p&gt;After, a time &amp;quot;civilization&amp;quot;  would call and back I would come to live a &amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;civilized&amp;quot; life again.  I use  to be amazed at how easily people would lie to me &lt;br&gt;until I realized how easily I  lied to myself.&lt;p&gt;Once, I stop lying to myself others stopped lying  to me.  What ever we want &lt;br&gt;from others we must first give to  ourselves.  &lt;p&gt;To be appreciated, allowed to be myself, and to  be accepted for who I am has &lt;br&gt;always been my goal until I realized that until I  do these things for and to &lt;br&gt;myself I will never receive them from  others.&lt;p&gt;It all goes back as it always does to personal  responsibility.   We are &lt;br&gt;always responsible for our actions and the  Universe will always hold us &lt;br&gt;responsible.  We wonder why no one stays in  our life for long then we realize we haven&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;t been to good at staying in the  lives of others.  &lt;p&gt;I realized the other day and you would  think this would come long before now &lt;br&gt;and it did just not as strong as it popped  up this time.   What I realized &lt;br&gt;is that it only takes one act of  carelessness to ruin a life time reputation.  &lt;br&gt;Then I realized something  else Jesus said that we are to forgive not seven &lt;br&gt;times seven but seven times  seventy or as many times as necessary.&lt;p&gt;It just shows me more and  more how little those that claim to be his &lt;br&gt;followers probably wouldn&amp;#39;t even  allow him inside the doors of their churches today. &lt;br&gt;  I hear love  preached everywhere and right behind that I hear condemnation &lt;br&gt;of gays, lesbians,  any one that doesn&amp;#39;t follow their way of living.&lt;br&gt;As I remember the scripture  it is a message of unconditional love for all, &lt;br&gt;no matter what.&lt;p&gt;What  I do know is that I appreciate you as I allow you to be you and accept &lt;br&gt;you as  you are because I love you and Believe in YOU. &lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

In all the  time I have known this person I have very &lt;br&gt;seldom heard them speak respectfully  of anyone else.&lt;p&gt;One of the things I have learned over the years is  that if I want something &lt;br&gt;I have to give it to receive it.  I can not force  someone to give it to me, &lt;br&gt;especially respect.  If it has to be forced then  it isn&amp;#39;t respect it is fear.&lt;p&gt;I have to respect myself before I can  expect to receive respect and not only &lt;br&gt;do I have to respect myself I have to put  respect out there before me.  A &lt;br&gt;person that wants to be respected has only  to treat others with respect.  &lt;p&gt;It starts with a smile and a  good or kind word for others.  If we are &lt;br&gt;supervisors we get respect by  giving those that work for us respect.  If we are &lt;br&gt;workers we get respect by  giving our co-workers and those above us respect.&lt;p&gt;I guarantee that  if we aren&amp;#39;t receiving respect we aren&amp;#39;t giving it.  A &lt;br&gt;kind word, a word of  encouragement or a compliment will bring almost instant &lt;br&gt;respect.  It is  never to late to change our actions.  While we can never change &lt;br&gt;first  impressions we can change the way people view us.&lt;p&gt;Some times it is  hard for we may at times be stereotyped by our cultures or &lt;br&gt;our image.   However, our true natures always show through if we allow them &lt;br&gt;to.   &lt;p&gt;Respect is a matter of being respectful of your self and to  others.  &lt;br&gt;Speaking respectfully and allowing others to know their opinion is  important to you. &lt;br&gt; Now this doesn&amp;#39;t mean that we allow others opinions to  alter what we think &lt;br&gt;or do unless we really want it too.  It does mean that  we listen to others &lt;br&gt;and weight their opinions to see it they are valid and of  use to us.&lt;p&gt;They may be valid and still not be of use to us in the  situation we find &lt;br&gt;ourselves in so we thank them and let them know that we value  their opinions &lt;br&gt;however in this instance we prefer to do it our way, but thanks  for caring &lt;br&gt;enough to give us another option.&lt;p&gt;I have learned so much  over the course of my sixty five years that if I can &lt;br&gt;share and impart a bit of  it to others in order to assist them in not &lt;br&gt;possibly making some of my many  mistakes or errors over the years I would be pleased.&lt;p&gt;One thing I  have learned is that those supposed mistakes or errors were just &lt;br&gt;to show me the  many ways things are not done and there are no mistakes &lt;br&gt;unless we see them as  such.&lt;p&gt;It took Edison over 1000 tries to successful make a light  bulb work.  Did he &lt;br&gt;see those as failures?  No, he said he found over a  thousand ways to not &lt;br&gt;make a light bulb work.  As anything else success or  failure is in the mind.&lt;p&gt;I have learned that a supposed mistake was  only a detour so I could see &lt;br&gt;another way of life or another way of  thinking.  I also have seen that even &lt;br&gt;mistakes can be corrected in such a  way as to appear to be beautiful.  &lt;br&gt;I have learned it is all in the eye  of the beholder as well as in the mind &lt;br&gt;of those beholding.  It is true that  as we think so we are and with that in &lt;br&gt;mind I think that I love you and Believe  in you.&lt;br&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

As they say before we are enlighten &lt;br&gt;we chop wood and carry  water.  After we are enlighten we chop wood and carry  &lt;br&gt;water.&lt;p&gt;So what is the purpose of enlightenment and just what is  enlightenment?  Two &lt;br&gt;fantastic questions.  The purpose of enlightenment  is for us to learn who &lt;br&gt;and what we are.  As far as what enlightenment is  that is the moment we &lt;br&gt;discover we are more than human.&lt;p&gt;As Jesus  said in a quote from the prophets of old.  &amp;quot;Know ye not that ye are &lt;br&gt;as  little gods.&amp;quot;  As it was then it is still considered by the Church to be  &lt;br&gt;heresy to speak such as that.  &lt;p&gt;For if the masses knew we were  all gods on earth then there would no longer &lt;br&gt;be any controlling them .  The  scriptures were brought forth in an effort to &lt;br&gt;control the masses of those  days.&lt;p&gt;Today we are still under the control of those that are no  more or no less &lt;br&gt;than we are.  Once we realize who and what we are that we  are Spiritual Beings &lt;br&gt;having a human experience it changes  everything.&lt;p&gt;We are not all of God, but all that we are is  god.  It is as a drop of  &lt;br&gt;ocean is not all of the ocean but all of it  is ocean.  We have the ability to be &lt;br&gt;co-creators with the universe and we  are doing it everyday either consciously &lt;br&gt;or unconsciously by our attitude we  create a positive tomorrow or a negative &lt;br&gt;tomorrow it is all our choice.  &lt;p&gt;It is all done by the thoughts and feelings we have.  Think  and feel &lt;br&gt;positive have a positive life.  Think and feel negative and have a  negative life.&lt;p&gt;Even in times like this and especially in times like  this a person with the &lt;br&gt;proper attitude will go so much farther than those that  moan and groan about &lt;br&gt;what is happening.  If you can&amp;#39;t control it don&amp;#39;t  worry about tf.  &lt;p&gt;If you can control it then do the best with  what you have in a positive &lt;br&gt;loving manner and watch it multiply for the energy  we send out into the Universe &lt;br&gt;is sent back to us multiplied many  times.&lt;p&gt;Every event that happens in our life is neutral, positive or  negative until &lt;br&gt;we label it and then it what it is until such time as we change  the label if &lt;br&gt;we do.  &lt;p&gt;The Universe loves us and wants us to  have what we want in life and it sends &lt;br&gt;to us exactly what it appears we  want.  If we are bitching moaning it sends &lt;br&gt;us more things to bitch and moan  about but if we are bright happy and &lt;br&gt;cheerful we receive more things to be  bright, happy and cheerful about.  &lt;p&gt;Whatever we put out there  comes back to us as what goes around comes around. &lt;br&gt; The question is what  are you putting out there as for me I am putting out &lt;br&gt;love and believe in others  for that is what I want.  Remember I love you and I &lt;br&gt;Believe in  YOU&lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

In light of that I am  always in search of new writers and teachers &lt;br&gt;to learn from or to assist me in  remembering who and what I am.&lt;p&gt;I recently found a new teacher  through a reference from one of the many &lt;br&gt;newsletters I receive daily.  Her  name is Sonia Ricotti and she is as intelligent &lt;br&gt;as she is beautiful.  Oh,  to be 20 years younger.  Her wisdom is far beyond &lt;br&gt;her years.   &lt;p&gt;She has been a corporate leader and earned over a six figure  income before &lt;br&gt;quitting and taking a $25.00 a day job as a tour guide while she  pondered her &lt;br&gt;life&amp;#39;s direction and then starting her own corporation which you  can &lt;br&gt;experience at &lt;a href="http://leadoutloud.com"&gt;leadoutloud.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;You can also experience her on  &lt;a href="http://youtube.com"&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Anyway, I just went to Barnes &lt;br&gt;and Nobles and picked up her  book there.  It is a little thin, but then it&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt;title is &amp;quot;the Law of  Attraction, Plain and Simple.  Which it is and I have &lt;br&gt;gone though it in  about two hours or so.  It isn&amp;#39;t a long book but it is a book &lt;br&gt;full of good  stuff.  It is a good easy read. &lt;p&gt;Forgiveness, gratitude,  letting go not only of the past but of negative &lt;br&gt;friends and people in your  life.  Deciding how the end of your life will be.  &lt;br&gt;Also, taking the  shoulds out of your life.  Stop shoulding on yourself.  All of &lt;br&gt;this  and so much more.&lt;p&gt;I was in a counseling group one time many years  go when the leader of the &lt;br&gt;group introduced a roll of toilet paper that when ever  someone said should the &lt;br&gt;roll was tossed to them to remind us not to should on  ourselves.&lt;p&gt;A small book that I have to admit I was tempted to sit  down and skim it &lt;br&gt;there and just pick out the meat of it when I realized that  what  I was actually &lt;br&gt;contemplating doing was actually stealing the book&amp;#39;s  info  and robbing this &lt;br&gt;author of her money.  &lt;p&gt;Wow, what a  revelation that was &lt;p&gt;Yes, in effect, I had looked at the book and  said to myself it is so thin &lt;br&gt;that it can&amp;#39;t be worth the money and then I thought  of the $ 36.00 I had just &lt;br&gt;put in my gas tank and said well if I can give the gas  companies that kind of &lt;br&gt;money I can give this author that is enriching my life  her money.  So I did.  &lt;br&gt;And glad I did it.&lt;p&gt;It reminded me  when I was assistant pastor to Pastor Jeff many years ago and &lt;br&gt;so many times he  gave me assignments I really didn&amp;#39;t want to do but when I &lt;br&gt;did them I received so  much pleasure from them. &lt;p&gt;Many times, all it takes in life is to  show up to be blessed.  &lt;p&gt;Now then, let me recommend to you to  pick up Sonia&amp;#39;s book and be blessed as &lt;br&gt;you read it as it will assist you in  finding that inner peace we are all &lt;br&gt;seeking and so few seem to  find.&lt;p&gt;Now with that in mind remember as always I love you and  Believe in YOU.&lt;p&gt;Before I go, I would like to request all of you to  keep Dave, my daughter&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt;significant other in prayer with me knowing that as he  goes into the Doctors &lt;br&gt;office for a biopsy, today he will receive a clean bill of  health.

I have just been listening &lt;br&gt;to a new teacher I have  discovered named Sonia Ricotti.  What a beautiful &lt;br&gt;old soul and one of the  things she brought out that really resonated with me is &lt;br&gt;that there is no such  thing as the past.&lt;p&gt;Yes, we lived it, went through it and survived  it.  The thing is it is gone &lt;br&gt;and is no more with the exception of in the  memory.  When we turn loose of it &lt;br&gt;then it truly is no more.  It is  gone. And that is what we have to do with &lt;br&gt;the past, good, bad, indifferent, it  doesn&amp;#39;t matter.  Turn loose of it and let &lt;br&gt;it go.  If need be do our  forgiveness work and move on.&lt;p&gt;Once we turn loose of it and let it  go, then and only then can we once again &lt;br&gt;begin living our present life.  In  many if not most instances the past is &lt;br&gt;full of negative happenings that if we  dwell on them we bring the negative into &lt;br&gt;the present. &lt;p&gt;We have got  to concentrate on generating positive energy all of the time to &lt;br&gt;create a  positive present and future  for whatever we are doing today is &lt;br&gt;creating  our tomorrows.  Our thoughts, words, feelings and actions are all &lt;br&gt;creating  what happens next.  &lt;p&gt;We are the creators of our life for as we  create the Universe which loves us &lt;br&gt;so much says oh that is what you want ok here  is some more of it and bingo &lt;br&gt;there is more of what you have been  having.&lt;p&gt;Put a smile on our face and thank the Universe for all that  we have and have &lt;br&gt;had for we have decided to go a new direction and this is what  we want now &lt;br&gt;as we put the picture of a new life on the front of our mind and  begin to see &lt;br&gt;in our mind as our new reality.   As some one said  recently stop being &lt;br&gt;realistic and be unrealistic and go for what you want in  life instead of settling &lt;br&gt;for the way things are. &lt;p&gt;Begin to think of  it and go for it.  Like the person that went out to pick &lt;br&gt;up some milk and  just kept going.  It wasn&amp;#39;t a sudden impulse, they had been &lt;br&gt;thinking about  it for a while and decided to follow their heart.  &lt;p&gt;Decide  what it is in life you really want and go for it.  Now if you are a &lt;br&gt;parent  of children I am not saying to go off and abandon your &lt;br&gt;responsibilities, but  begin putting into your life those things you really want while taking &lt;br&gt;care of  those that depend on you.  &lt;p&gt;However, if they aren&amp;#39;t your  responsibility then let them know they are on &lt;br&gt;their own and do YOUR  thing.   Do not fall for the guilt and shame trip they &lt;br&gt;may try to run  on you to keep you in bondage for your life is your life to &lt;br&gt;live as you  desire.  &lt;p&gt;It is time to let go of the past and live in the  present for the past is &lt;br&gt;dead and gone is no more and does not exist anywhere  except in memory.&lt;p&gt;Also remember what others think is none of our  business.  Their thoughts are &lt;br&gt;their thoughts, my life is my life and so is  your life is your life. Live &lt;br&gt;it, enjoy it and remember I Love you and Believe in  YOU&lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

You ask me doesn&amp;#39;t everyone think for them selves &lt;br&gt;and my  answer would be, very few do.&lt;p&gt;Most people take without question  what they learned as children, what they &lt;br&gt;hear on the radio or TV news or read  in  the news paper.  Their minister &lt;br&gt;preaches to them from the pulpit  and they take it as truth.  Their family or &lt;br&gt;friends tell them something an  instead of checking it out they take it as truth.&lt;p&gt;The truth is most  people or asleep at the wheel as the scriptures call them &lt;br&gt;sheep will follow  practically anyone anywhere.  For years I thought it was &lt;br&gt;cute and cuddly  when I read the scriptures which I have done several times all &lt;br&gt;the way though to  hear how they revered to people as sheep.  &lt;p&gt;This was until I  read about sheep and how stupid they are and will follow &lt;br&gt;their leader to their  death without a second thought.  This describes so many &lt;br&gt;fundamentalist  religionist, whether Christian, Islamic, Jewish or what have &lt;br&gt;you.  They do  not question, they follow without thought or research.  &lt;p&gt;It is  time we stop checking our brains at the door when we leave our houses &lt;br&gt;and take  them with us.  It is time to become a nation of dangerous, thinking  &lt;br&gt;people.  &lt;p&gt;Our scriptures were created by a combination of  royalty and clergy for one &lt;br&gt;reason only and that was control.  The masses  were becoming hard to control so &lt;br&gt;the church in conjunction with the Government  under King James brought &lt;br&gt;together their scholars to bring together the  authorized religious writings as &lt;br&gt;there were literally thousands of Spiritual  manuscripts to decide which ones &lt;br&gt;most closely told the story they way they  wanted it told.&lt;p&gt;There are many Spiritual books and manuscripts out  there and if they were &lt;br&gt;read would give one a much different picture on this  thing we call religion.  &lt;br&gt;That is why there are so many different sects, and  cults out there.&lt;p&gt;Interestingly one of the definitions of cults is  &amp;quot;Anyone that believes &lt;br&gt;differently than you.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;Actually a cult is anyone that  joins together to deliver any viewpoint, &lt;br&gt;religious or otherwise.   &lt;p&gt;If you think we are a nation of thinkers then look at who we have  to choose &lt;br&gt;from as potential leaders.  Do you really think this is the best  our Country &lt;br&gt;has to offer us to choose from?  &lt;p&gt;I tend to agree  with President Lincoln who said the people usually get the &lt;br&gt;President they  deserve.    I am sorry sir, but I don&amp;#39;t believe we deserve what &lt;br&gt; is coming to us this time.  &lt;p&gt;It takes character to be a leader  and I am sorry but the only one with any &lt;br&gt;character at all is only the one I can  vote for as VP, although at the age of &lt;br&gt;the man in front of her, it is very  possible she will be the president and &lt;br&gt;long before many people  think.&lt;p&gt;She will be the first but not last Lady President for we are  in actuality a &lt;br&gt;matriarchal society.  We are ruled by the ladies whether the  men wish to &lt;br&gt;admit it or not and they don&amp;#39;t.&lt;p&gt;A smart man will admit  the ladies are much smarter than we are and much more &lt;br&gt;suited to leadership  roles.  &lt;p&gt;Now that last sentence may get me committed but I  believe it.   Just as I &lt;br&gt;Love you and Believe in YOU.&lt;p&gt;Love,  Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.

As a young man it was on &lt;br&gt;my mind most of the time for  I couldn&amp;#39;t indulge enough.  I loved it and was &lt;br&gt;addicted to it.   &lt;p&gt;Now as a much older man I find it really isn&amp;#39;t much different for  my &lt;br&gt;thoughts are still there.  Remembering the wonderful, partners,  companion, wives of &lt;br&gt;years past, I find that not having been with a companion for  over three years &lt;br&gt;now and considering my age I am wondering if I can still  perform.  Now isn&amp;#39;t &lt;br&gt;that a ridiculous thought?  Can I still  perform?  &lt;p&gt;I heard an old country song yesterday which I am  not even sure if it is true &lt;br&gt;in my case for he said he wasn&amp;#39;t as good as he once  was but he was as good &lt;br&gt;once as he ever was.  I think in my case in may be  true but I believe I would &lt;br&gt;have to use every one of my many years of experience  to use the many tools &lt;br&gt;available to me to accomplish the task.&lt;p&gt;I do  not know if this is common or even usual in a man of my years to have &lt;br&gt;these  thoughts however I know if I am having them then somewhere someone else &lt;br&gt;is  having them also.  &lt;p&gt;I do know this that Sex at any age is  wonderful.  I have often said the &lt;br&gt;worse I ever had was wonderful and that  is so very, very true.  It has always &lt;br&gt;amazed me how our western morals have  so turned sex into this subject that isn&amp;#39;t &lt;br&gt;discussed except in whispers or as a  joking matter.  &lt;p&gt;This is the most beautiful experience two  people can experience together for &lt;br&gt;the moment of mutual release is the highest  spiritual experience it is &lt;br&gt;possible for two people to experience together.   It is the closest two people can &lt;br&gt;ever be physically, mentally, and emotionally  whether it is being used as a &lt;br&gt;creative moment or a moment of pure physical  pleasure. &lt;p&gt;If you are blessed to have a companion and you are  blessed if you do have &lt;br&gt;one then begin right this moment to thank the Universe  for that partner for you &lt;br&gt;are blessed among individuals.  &lt;p&gt;An  old saying that if you really think about it says a lot goes like this.  &lt;br&gt;If  you are not with the one you love then love the one you are with.  The &lt;br&gt;most  important lover in our life is the one we are with at any given moment.   &lt;p&gt;Do I miss not having a Lover.  YES, I do most emphatically  YES.  Do I have a &lt;br&gt;good life now?  I must say I have an acceptable life  at this time.  Would I &lt;br&gt;change it if I could and I can if I so choose?   I do not know for that really &lt;br&gt;is the only area of my life that is not being  fulfilled.  &lt;p&gt;Now having said that let me say that I do not  know and this is my own &lt;br&gt;conundrum.  Is that yes I would love to have  someone in my life to fill this part &lt;br&gt;of it.  I just do not know if I want  the responsibility of someone unless they &lt;br&gt;were really in tuned with me.  &lt;p&gt;I am honest enough with myself to know that I am a selfish,  self centered, &lt;br&gt;fairly high maintenance person so I know that is probably who I  would attract &lt;br&gt;to me.  &lt;p&gt;For that is the way life works, we  attract to us that which we are.  Also &lt;br&gt;another basic principle of life is  that whatever we are seeking is seeking us. &lt;p&gt;In the long run I like  everyone else must decide what I want if I ever &lt;br&gt;expect to receive it.  Oh,  I have my lists of what my dream lover looks like, &lt;br&gt;petite, long dark hair with  beautiful almond shaped eyes, small dainty feet about &lt;br&gt;105 lbs., intelligent,  conversant on most subjects, a giving, sharing, &lt;br&gt;loving, trusting  person.&lt;p&gt;Then as I look at my list I remember that whatever I desire  I must be it to &lt;br&gt;receive it. As I look at my list I realize that I have a lot of  work ahead of &lt;br&gt;me if I am to receive this angel of a companion.&lt;p&gt;Then  I remember a term I heard a little while ago &amp;quot;friends with benefits&amp;quot;.  &lt;br&gt;When  I learned what it meant I was floored.  As a younger man it was called &lt;br&gt;a  booty call.  And yes I made my share of those.  What amazes me the  most &lt;br&gt;now is that as I look around me there are just very few that even come  close to &lt;br&gt;interesting me when at one time if it were female and on two legs then  they &lt;br&gt;interested me.&lt;p&gt;Am I becoming more selective or have I just  become so jaded that only the &lt;br&gt;best will do.  Perhaps I have come to realize  that I deserve the very best and &lt;br&gt;my friend so do you.  I encourage you to  never again settle for less than the &lt;br&gt;best.  Also remember, I love you and I  believe in YOU. &lt;p&gt;Love, Peace and  Light,&lt;p&gt;Rev.
