The HANDBOOK to HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS.

---Here is a book that I read a number of years ago. I re-read much of it AND still think it's great. I highly recommend it. As a matter of fact, I challenge you to read the first 11 pages. I would almost wager that you'll want to continue!

To Focus Properly

To FOCUS PROPERLY

I Spent Much of My Time

Thinking My Parents Were Right

Most of The Time

Everything Said by My Teachers,

My Relatives,

People I Knew to Be Older,

And, At One Time People in General.

I Was Much TOO Gullible

I Didn’t Think for Myself

And, Believed Everything I Heard

I Had an Awful Lot to Learn,

I Thought!

The Years Have Gone By

And My Eagle Has Died

That's When I Began To Open My Eyes

I Finally Could See I Was Living Their Lies

I Realized Being Paralyzed

By My Fears

Was My Way of Life

 Free Movement of any Sort

Was Becoming Uncommon

There Were Many Things That

Weren’t Necessarily So

That Didn’t Involve

Living in a Whale

Or Being Called Jonah

I Learned the Importance of Unlearning

I Learned You Could Strike with the Cover Open

At Times

Some of it did Hold Water

And, Some Still Does

But, There Are Things That Should Have Been Sent

To the Preposterous Department

Many Years Ago.

Like Removal of Certain Tags on Furniture

That Will Result in Immediate Imprisonment,

That People in Authority Were Always Honest,

The Easter Bunny & Santa Make Their Way to My House

Once A Year,

And, I Could Go to Hell for

Practically Anything!

I Realized Good Judgment &

Knowing Thyself

Were Actually Good Things to Do

Everything Has Come Into question

At One Time or Another.

I’m Feeling Much Better Now

And It’s Almost Lunchtime

I Have That Going for me

And, I Guess, Other Things, TOO,

When It Comes Right Down to It!

WINNING/LOSING ATTITUDEs!

Striking Differences Between Winners and Losers

---In my quest to post things that may be found useful in one's journey of self-improvement, I found a list of 33 traits that are shared by winners and losers. I am NOT calling anyone names through this, this is what I do. Ever since I discovered that one could actually improve and make his life better...I have been at this. I am sure that being born as I was (missing fingers, etc.,) has much to do with my venture into this career...if you will.

---From the standpoint of behaviors, it makes sense that I would choose FRUSTRATION as my F-word of choice. I think I have made a case for it, and since we ALL seem to be flirting with being frustrated, it seems a viable choice.

---We, also, have FASCISM, to be part of the mix. If we take it broadly, we can define it as imposing our will on others. My way or the highway, comes to mind. The dictator, itself, could be the idea that things have to be done in a certain way...with some kind of violent repercussion, for those who don't cut it.

---The Catholic religion was taught that way to me...with Hell always hanging in the balance. I could ''earn,'' an eternity in Hell, for the slightest infraction. It was ALL so unreasonable. Fascism fits in here, somewhere. The misunderstanding of Love, has made God, Jesus and the Pope out to be dictators...with NO room for development. [Some of the popes, actually, acted the part, and greatly promoted the idea that God and Jesus were dictators, first. They never actually said that God, etc., were dictators, they just portrayed, taught and, I would say, believed this, themselves.] That is what happens to those who don't really understand LOVE. Everything tends to be FEAR BASED. That is when ALL the rules + policies...come out.

---I, myself, do not see life this way. I had to break my ties with the church to find out who I am...and to see what Jesus, et. al., were talking about, throughout the ages. I found that if one truly finds what LOVE is, himself, then he/she finds that many other interpretations are NOT necessary. BE LOVING + KIND. It is still the finest thing around.

---The truth, then, is NOT so complicated. In this way, we can see that the way Catholicism was taught to me, makes it to be another Fascism...and makes Fascism another F-word, I have had to deal with. The dictatorship of thought that I had to deal with, has created much of my FRUSTRATION. Eliminating one has eliminated the other. Take Care.
