It's Difficult

 It's difficult to avoid the news these most recent days because so much is going on.  But I deal with it as most everyone has to deal with it all no matter which side you are on.  Again, this is NOT a post about politics or political figures, but just that we are constantly being bombarded with political news.  I have my own way to deal with it al. 

I've had to learn that the person is more important to me than their politics.  Due to the nature of my Spirituality, I do NOT take sides.  I've learned to listen more and talk less.  I have my own thoughts.  But with rare exception I keep my thoughts pretty much to myself and I don't let anything I read or hear bother me.  

I have been an information junkie since the Angels without judgement.  I believe these are the Last Days, but I've believed this since around the year 2000.  I've been expecting Divine Intervention since that time and I haven't given up.  I had another post written for today, but chose this one instead due to the legal issues of a political candidate.  

A lot is happening on Monday one way or another.  But my point is that I refuse for these issues to cause me ANY stress.  These are matters for the courts, not politics.  The people will ultimately decide.  And their desicions WILL be correct.  But how do I know this?  

Since 2000, I believe, the world has been set-up.  What I think or believe just doesn't matter in the Grand scheme of things.  I have my thoughts that I believe can influence.  My task is to make sure my thoughts are balanced.  This was something I was going to write about tofay, but I too just can't ignore the most recent events in the political arena.  Balance is so important to me.  If I am not balanced in all things my mind can get away from me.

I'm an old guy who still can get off balance and maybe as I get older balance is more important to me because I know what I am capable of being.  I can get too much off balance with the news reports and too much input can do that to me.  I know my mind.  I am capable of my own psychoses.  Too much or not enough is not balance.  Too much information causes me to lose balance.  

Balance affects my heart.  I am still a heart patient and too much information can affect my heart.  It's the way I think in regard to life and living.  I know enough to be informed, but I know when I get too much information I begin to lose balance.  I want just enough to be informed but not too much.  My cardiologist from years age warned me because of how believe about life.  

I can easily get stressed or depressed, which neither is good for one's heart and mind.  I want to be informed by the news, but at some point I need to know when information becomes too much.  I've learned this since my heart attack.  Stress is not good for either one's heart or one's mind.  This is why information is best in the mornings and by afternoon, I'm ready to tune out the world.  I try to avoid the evening news, but sometimes I like to know.  

So, all this might explain why relaxation is good for me and why I see stress as an enemy.  I want to know just enough.  This is balance.  Learning how to deal with information is important.  Some might say I have a delicate conditiin.  In some ways I do.  Relaxation and less stress is important, which is why I smoke a pipe, but not too much.  I like having a pipe in my mouth even when I'm not smoking it.  It simply keeps me relaxed.  Today it is my Willard pipe with some Captain Black Cherry.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
