College isn’t for Everyone

-

 If there is one thing a college degree does is helps one understand bureaucracy.  It is a microcosm of the real world.  It helps one understand community.  I might not have fully understood my experience with the Divine without my understanding from both college and seminary.  I had my own understanding but still after the experience I had to grow in that new understanding and I’m still growing.  Growth in understanding IS the meaning of life.

A millionaire with three children says he’ll pay for his children’s’ education, but says he’s not disappointed his youngest son has opted out of college.  It is said college isn’t for everyone.  I agree.  It’s not.  College is a microcosm of the real world.  It’s not just about class work.  It’s learning how the real world functions.  But in my case, I now see the big picture.  I fully understand what my Spirit Guides were saying to me.  And without my previous understanding much would have gone over my head as it does when I explain my Spirit Guides.  Only a few seem to fully understand.  

But I don’t worry about others understanding.  What is important is that I understand.  There is much that cannot be explained, but as long as I understand that seems to be all that matters.  I understand perfectly.  I understand my Spirit Guides.  I’m not sure I can expect anyone else to understand.  But it is my education that helps me understand.  And everyone comes to their own understanding.   

I’ve had to learn this.  This is why politics or religion has little bearing on my thinking.  I see the big picture.  But everyone has their own filters in understanding.  Mine is just different.  My path in life is different.  What my Spirit Guides have done is give me my own understanding.  It is something I can’t teach but lead by example.  I have my own stresses and worries that are unique to myself in light of my own understanding.  

No amount of education is going to help understand what I understand, but my path led me to my experience with the Divine.  My path is strictly my own and I wish for no one to take my path.  Each person will have their own understanding.  I almost didn’t post this morning, but the Spirit led me to write this morning.  Only a few have been reading my writings lately, but my writings are a personal journey I share with those who read what I write.  Otherwise it is simply a personal journal of my understanding.  

These are my thoughts this morning and I thank you for your time and say Peace to you.  I smoke a pipe while writing because doing so helps me think.  My pipe this morning is my Savinelii and my tobacco of choice is my Carter Hall.  Have a pleasant day!

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...
