Do you ever get carried away in thinking about what other people are doing?
I don’t do that, but! – I’ve found out that a lot of people actually spend their entire lives watching & talking about other people, while never living their own life.
What a life!! haha…
But I’m not actually laughing…
This article is a reminder to myself to — Although others are living their lives watching & talking about other people, To NOT be one of them on the sidelines watching & chatting, but to actually BE in the game.
Be Live. Be in the Action & Create while everyone else is on the sidelines watching & talking about you & I, The Creators. The ones who choose to live & live fully.
So, let people talk. It’s what people do best! Let them watch us as we continue taking action, creating, playing, living.
I never thought I was Jesus before Los Angeles, & I’m still not sure…what I do know for sure is that I am definitely a messenger, & what I’m sharing is all true.
—There is a Lord, God, who sees all & knows all, truly, including your thoughts.
—I’ve been meeting supposedly dead people & they are in different bodies.
&I have been meeting celebrities who are supposedly still alive & in different bodies – they can change bodies.
— I have been speaking with an invisible God for most of my life, at least the past 10-20 years, every single day.
—I found out this past year in Los Angeles, not only God our Lord was listening, but thousands, possibly millions of other beings were listening to me speak with God.
It is a bit creepy knowing there are many beings watching & listening, without permission, other than God who obviously has permission – it’s God. But others who are watching & listening, it’s time for you all to learn about boundaries. Yes, we are one, & yes, the wicked & evil get cut off from this connection, & the Temple of God, which is us all, will grow healthier every day. Because that’s what this connection must be, it’s God. & it’s time for a huge cleanse, everywhere.
Everything new, truly.
—All the above, True.
— I’m looking to Jesus in the Bible every day & putting into practice Jesus’s teachings – to love, to not judge or you will be judged, to forgive & you will be forgiven, & everything else that Jesus taught. I have not perfected all his teachings within my life, but that is the Aim, & should be the Aim of all Christians who say they believe in God. & now I know for sure, it’s beyond belief now, because I know. I believed by faith, & now, I know.
& the one thing I did fail at in my past life was with lust – there was a lot of that within me & I have repented – I was also on a good amount of drugs & alcohol during that time, & I’m also done with those destructive poisons – although I have a few drinks on occasion. (My neck pain is part of the price I pay for my usage of drugs & alcohol for years & not sleeping well for years. I do pray for a professional masseuse in the future to help with my neck.)
There truly is a big cleanse happening everywhere.
The Bible says the Lord disciplines those He loves, so I am thankful.
Thank you God.
“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
You lost the game.
You won it next week.
You fell down.
You got back up.
You’ve been hated.
You’ve been loved.
Why is it easier for people to cling to the negative?
It could be, like Tupac said, that “fear is stronger than love.”
Or it could be the result of societies current dogmas.
Societies change, history shows us this, but it always begins at an individual level.
You may have been defeated once, or even hundreds of times, but life is not done with you yet.
Don’t confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
Persevere.
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
—Ernest Hemingway
Personally, I’m just thinking about whether to break from writing every day to writing once a week – or something like that.
But in relation to the Hemingway quote, yes, the world breaks us all.
“Life is suffering” said Buddha.
& it’s true. Life hurts. We all go through it. Your pain is valid.
The question is, where will you go from here?
What did you learn from your pain?
What are you still learning from it?
We are never too old to learn something new.
An old dog can learn new tricks.
It’s a matter of patience, persistence, and humility, to name a few, but the list goes on.
Culture wants you to conform.
It wants you to blindly obey.
But you were born to be free.
You were born with a mind to think for yourself.
This is extremely difficult in societies that aggressively attack non-conformists.
“For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This choice is yours.
And yes, if you choose to think for yourself you will lose friends. Some family members may disown you. But what you will find in this process is the truth.
You will find genuine support from the few who are living their truths as well.
It is a risk, but it is a risk worth taking, and a risk that might possibly save the world.
What dreams do you envision?
How do you imagine the ideal world?
Think about an ideal world for you, and then think about an ideal world for everyone.
Really take time to think about this.
It makes a difference.

“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”
—Proverbs 24:16
You’ve stumbled. You’ve fallen. But you won’t let this keep you down. Not again. Not this time.
You’ve been created on this planet with a purpose. Some people find their purpose & live it out, while others contribute to purpose without knowing.
To find and live your true purpose requires a righteous pursuit. On this path you will fall much more than 7 times, but you will continue to rise and be stronger with each comeback.
You can go through your entire life with your eyes “closed”, or you can open your heart, mind, and soul and find the treasure that it waiting for you.
It’s your choice.
& Rise again.
