We All Have Formulas

There is a way to think and be as a way of life. My first knowledge of it came by always wanting to find the truth as a child. There were always conflict in my mind with the established way of doing business. First it was the parents then it was the Church. I never knew that I was doing the right thing because I was always in some conflict with the way things were done. Jesus and Gandhi were doing it right so why wasn't I? My first clue was my movements from my grandmother to my Dad and my stepmother, the second clue was the idea of omnipotence. Then I moved to our new family where my new stepmother had children of her own and I quickly fell in love with her daughter. At the moment you cannot see the truths but they are there and each step brings me closer to what we call seeing the light. Back then I am reading about Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, science fiction short stories because my step brother has stack of them he has already read in our room. There is still the conflict where I think I am wrong because society has one truth and I have my own truths which I think are wrong because they came out of the books I was reading. I was also reading about the Catholic Saints in my personal studies and I came to realize that I was going to be a philosopher. What I never did realize was what was going on in my life as I moved from person to person that they were nice people and each of them gave me some of themselves as life moves forward.

Clues:
The Manchurian Candidate
Communist propaganda
Stranger in a Strange Land
Ivan Pavlov

The truth hit me late as I understood that with each environment I was placed in came a very good person.

So the simple truth is that if you have nice friends then you will become a very nice human being.
If you are raised in a terrible place without good people then you mind will go in that direction.

So hang out with nice people, read good books, think good thoughts, love life and understand that life is a gift from mom and god.

National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association

I spent the day Tuesday in Elizabethtown, Kentucky at our quarterly Kentucky Federation of Chapters meeting. I am their Federation Network Coordinator. I was chosen because they lacked any interest in computers and the technology computers represent. I was the wake up call. I do have some interest in technology and I do try to stay informed. But I have to admit that the area of hand held technology has left me behind.
I do represent the mind that is lost in the gray blast of terminology that informs us of its presence.
But I do represent the idea that we must embrace the idea of being seen and heard and to use what we have learned to understand our position on this planet.
There is no quiet out of sight abode in this mind. There is a pedestal and I placed my being there. I have covered this whiteness with black marks to help mankind.
I want my grandchildren to be healed by faith and good medicine and I want them to grow old and healthy. Gold and money are trinkets to barter, bribe, build charts and billboards of propaganda. They have no meaning in the good feeling of fresh air and sunshine.

A love song for you - Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

It is time to see the women.
The monk read his scripture on the pulpit and the merry maid toils in the kitchen.
They are both beings on the planet earth and each one is working for the good in society.
She toils in the kitchen and he works in the garden.
He wears robes like a monk and she wears linen to bed.
Why does society remember what he wrote and worship his glossy script and we forget why she toiled in the kitchen.
They each knew the same god.
Is her only burden a vessel for humanity?
Where is her pedestal?
Does she write her laws or values or does she just chant the old scripture that he wrote with grace?
She worships the monk's songs while the maid still toils upstairs.
It is time to value her word as Gods.
It is time to see the women.

Am I on a spiritual quest?
No I do not think so.
Am I in a constant state of euphoria?
Sometimes I say yes and sometimes I say no.
In general I am there.
I guess that means no.

I would hope that this site does help in your knowledge of the unknown. Should there be a step-by-step guide on this site to reach the levels of bliss that we should encounter?
No I do not think so.
I think that all of us encounter that level in life itself at one time or another.
My favorite encounter is seeing the other person with the same equality and saying so. I would like to think that there is an easy answer to seeking the truth. The truth is always there the hard part is seeing it.
My first web page was the view of the ocean at some remote beach.
It revealed the beauty of life and the quest of man to stand by the ocean and marvel at that moment.
I figured if I showed you that scene then you would see the beauty of life and
all your troubles would be minor.
Or if I told you about the women that had loved me at some time then maybe you could understand that love and
it would make your day a blissful blessing.
But I realize that life is not so simple as telling you that life is grand and that the angel is there over
your shoulder guiding you toward bliss. What was so great about the sixties was the fact that each person encountered in our steps through life was told how wonderful life was. We were seen and we saw the person or life before us. That each of us was standing in that place provided by life and
those folks in the sixties were there with you as guides reflecting the values that were supposed to be on display. That state of mind is missing in our layered society today.
The haves and the have-nots of this world and their colors that layer our society mostly laugh and see nothing.
I do see at that level of euphoria but it does not show through in my every day life.
I know that Jesus walked in that state of euphoria and was bright enough to verbally say it.
Buddha sought it and found it.
They are well documented.
Hopefully the 1960's will be documented in the same light.
Well here's hoping that you have a good day and see whatever guides you to be great.
