Something to Consider

Consider this:

Whatever anyone else says or thinks is only as pertinent and/or important to your life expressing as you make it. That being said, even the stuff I offer fits into this category.

When we awaken to our True expression in being, and consciously create, each of us steers our own ship upon the seas of life expression in being according to our own wishes and desires.

Words

The words we speak are not the things we speak of. What do I mean by that?
In English banana is a fruit
In Spanish plátano is the word use to describe this same fruit.
In French banane is the word use to describe this same fruit.

So you see, different words are used in different languages to indicate the exact same thing.

The point I'm getting at is the words we use are a means of communicating, if we agree that the word banana represents a specific fruit, then we can use this word and others who've assigned the same meaning to that word will understand what we are talking about.

Overall, all languages are similar in this way. The words or sound vibrations made when speaking those words, do not truly vibrationally express that which is referred to.

Word vibrations which DO vibrationally express that which they refer to are sometimes used as mantras because they induce the vibration of that which they represent.

AUM is one such mantra. When we vocalize this word, the vibrations generated are the same as that which is expressed in vibrational being.

True magic uses true language, that is to say, vibrational sounds which by vocalizing them bring that vibration into expression and can for instance manifest what that vibration expresses.

So, if you knew the accurate sounds to make which equal a banana, and you vocalized them properly, you could manifest a banana by vocalizing that vibrational sequence.

The words in our common languages are not so vibrationally attuned to that which they express, and that is partly why when you say "banana" one does not appear before you.

With our common languages, the emotion and intentions underlying what is written or spoken are truer to the essence of what we wish to express, and one who is so attuned, can pick up on the intended emotions and intentions of the words used. This is why, when reading something like this, for example, it is easy to miss the underlying intentions and emotions of what is expressed, because written words do not carry those elements forward in communications as readily as the spoken word, or being present with the one speaking does.

When I have ended some of my prior posts, I've closed with
"Blessings to us all." The intended meaning for that closing is this:
Contributing to the growth and prosperity of goodness and well-being to us all.

Let it be so.

Our Life Expressing Is Our Own Story

Each of us is a 3D world story teller. We each have our own life experiencing, which in this analogy, is our story. We exist in a 3D world where other story tellers are also telling their own stories, which complicates the overall story of the race consciousness, and the planet consciousness, which from those broader perspectives, have their own stories as well.

There are elements of our individual and collective stories which we've accepted into our story telling, which means because of this agreement, we each have some very similar experiences, therefore stories within our life expressing. The agreements where our stories overlap are typically unstated, they are sort of like the paper a story can be printed upon. That paper is the foundation upon which the story may be expressed and experienced.

Just because we have some commonality between our individual stories, doesn't mean we have to accept into our own life experiencing, stuff that others are creating in their own life expressing story. This is to say, if we see a part of someone else's story unfolding, and we don't want that in our life expressing story, we can consciously say, "No, I don't want that, this is what I want instead..." and then fill in the blank(s).

The reason I bring this up is because, for whatever reason, there are "stories" out there which are pretty much doom and gloom. Whether these stories are intentionally expressing or not is irrelevant to our story unless we accept those story lines into our own life expressing story.

So, write your own story, take the good parts of other people's stories, and add them to your own, (if you want,) and leave the other stuff for those who want it in their story life expressing.

In my story, life expressing, I'm writing it so as to engender greater, love, compassion, caring, sharing, happiness, appreciation, gratitude and abundance for myself and those who choose to share in this story we call life on planet Earth.

I hope whatever story you are writing by living your life, it is as you desire it to be. It is your life, make of it what you will. :)

Blessings to us all.

Boy Scout Motto: Be prepared

I think being self sufficient is very important. I understand the idea of everyone leaving the cities, moving into less populated areas, but frankly, I don't think that is a viable solution. There are too many big cities with high population concentrations for everyone to just disburse and spread across the lands. For those who live within heavily populated areas, it is a good idea to develop good relations with your neighbors and communities, which can aid in defending against the stuff you mentioned in your presentation. Rather than moving out of the cities, into the unknown and ill prepared for circumstances, I'd suggest working with what you've got, making the best of the location and environments you find yourself in. A support group, (like your family and friends,) is essential during dire times. If you can do anything at all, start with developing a self sufficient community within the city environments. It IS possible. There ARE people who will want to band together for their families welfare, which is helpful for everyone else who unites in like minded communities. Lawlessness doesn't have to be the only way things unfold. That is only one of many of possibilities. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be kind, loving, considerate, compassionate, helpful and supportive of those in your family and community. There may be tough times ahead, but how tough they are for you may largely be determined by the choices you make now.

Short Term Goals and Long Term Goals

Short term goals and aspirations are useful because you can feel the beneficial effects of accomplishing something you've undertaken. This help to fuel your motivation towards accomplishing more short term as well as long term goals.

Regarding long goals and aspirations, always have long term goals which are currently out of reach, but are achievable given enough time and effort. This way you will always have something to strive for.

And, when you complete any significant goal (short or long term goal) make sure to celebrate because this is like the icing on the cake, it make it that much sweeter, and something to look forward to when you have your next success.

Relationships

I have noticed, once a person starts to be critical of his/her partner, that is the first step towards the relationship falling apart. When we focus upon the faults of others instead of focusing on all the good in others, we can easily become jaded by all the faults we see. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the strong foundation for all relationships. And when all parties abide by this attitude, the relationship(s) thrive.

If you are looking to develop a long term loving and meaningful relationship, take a self inventory to list all of your pros and cons, what you have to contribute to a relationship, and what you need to work on, on yourself, to be the best partner/mate you can be. This means taking responsibility for your own behavior, and being aware of your strengths and weaknesses. If you are looking for an ideal partner/mate, then first make yourself an ideal partner/mate. By doing so, you are more likely to attract someone who appreciates you and is willing to spend the rest of their life with you.

Be kind, be loving, be generous, be thoughtful, be considerate, be helpful and have compassion for the plights of others. That is a good place to start from. :)

Also, effective communication is essential in any relationship. In other words, don't expect your partner/mate to be able to read your mind and know what you are thinking. For important matters, I'd suggest always being open about them and talking about those things so a mutual agreement can be established.

Boundaries are probably one of the last things on a person's list, unless they are so important to them, they elevate to the top of the list. I'd suggest the ladder is because a person has had their boundaries violated so much that is a sensitive topic and therefore needs healing.

In a marriage type relationship, it is less about the individual and more about the couple. This is a very different way of thinking and being than the way one thinks and acts as a solo individual. Trespassing boundaries often occurs when one still thinks and acts from a solo perspective rather than a couple's perspective. In order to establish harmony, a person's perspective must take into consideration the other half of the couple's perspective. And this is where, treating others the way you want to be treated shows it's value.

Developing and maintaining a long lasting fulfilling relationship takes continued attention. This isn't something to be put on the back burner, so to speak, or to put on autopilot. If you want any relationship to thrive, appropriate attention needs to bare upon the relationship.
