The One Thing

-

 When I write about the things I say are Spiritual, I don't write about the Source of my Spirituality.  I don't feel it is necessary.  What is important is what's been planted in my brain.  And I can't escape it no matter what I do.  I could say what I have been saying for 30 years over and over, but I've said it once.  And if I've said it once, I have literally said it a million times or more.  It's why I don't belong to a religion, nor do I belong to any organizations or political parties.  

Some might suggest it gets lonely in my Ivory Tower.  Maybe.  But I took this route in life, because it seemed the way to be.  No regrets, remorse, or guilt.  I knew the Source would be questioned, and it has been.  But I am my own Spiritual person.  I receive guidance from the Source in all things.  I do not know why things happen the way they do, but it is not for me to question, so I don't.  I accept all things as they are and change what can be changed.

I don't belong socially to ANY group, club,or organization.  I don't promote any religion except my own brand of Spirituality.  I really coukd care less about ANY person's belief.  Now, if I just make stuff up, that is one thing.  And one can decide whether what I'm saying is good or evil.  I do NOT care.  Why?  Because I ask no one to do harm and live a quiet, peaceful life.  If you do this, in my book you are okay.

I used to care what people thought until I had to learn that thoughts do no harm.  But quiet, peaceful thoughts are better than wishing someone harm.  Anyone can have vengeful thoughts.  Anyone can act on vengeful thoughts even though those actions in and of themselves do no harm.  But evil exists because of first evil thoughts.  I communicate with the Divine, but my doing so calms my Sporit and removes any harmful thoughts.  

When people hear voices, those voices are either calming or asks the one hearing those voices to do harm.  The voice of the Divine is always peaceful and calming.  I can hear the voice of the Divine.  I can make that distinction.  But even the voice of evil can sound like the voice of the divine.  How do we know?  A Spiritual person just knows.  I've had to learn as I have had to learn about the Divine for almost 30 years.

Sometimes we don't know why.  But time always tells.  We learn patience with the Divine.  I know I am off on a tangent here, but the Divine speaks to believers and unbelievers alike.  The voice of the Divine speaks with a pure heart.  I don't need or even want wealth.  I have my own wealth now.  

I'm writing this now, because we are going through a stressful period about where we live next.  But when I hear the voice of the Divine, I am NOT hearing voices.  I'm listening to my own thoughts.  These thoughts could be disturbing, but I listen to the calm and peaceful voice that reminds me that I am a part of the Divine.  Without great detail, this is all I am saying.  If what we hear is not calming and peaceful, it is not of the Divine.  We are not omniscient.  We are human.  There are things we don't understand, but in time we will.  Everyone understands at the end.

I have a long way to go til the end.  So, I'll smoke my Nording pipe with my Estate blend and just relax.  It's all I can do for right now.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
