About the Best

-

In my humble opinion, the best psychiatrists, doctors, philosophers, and theologians are in their seventies.  Why?  Wisdom is acquired by longevity.  These occupations require wisdom.  I always felt that the best presidents of the US came from the Senate.  There they had time to acquire the wisdom of leadership.  They think in terms of long-term.  They think past quarters that only business people can see.  

They have been tested by the way of governing.  Their thinking is years ahead.  They are visionaries for long-term thinking.  This is the way of older people.  They think in terms of generations to come.  Many of them are grandparents or in some cases great-grandparents that think ahead for the distant future.  They have been tested by short-term thinking.  They think of what is best for the future of humanity and the country. 

Many have left a foot-print and now they are dialing their prints on humanity.  A pastor might live Sunday to Sunday, but as a theologian they see far into the distance.  They are visionaries and not the builders.  They are the idealists who imagine the kind of world they would like to leave behind.  Generally, they are the thinkers.  They can share what they’ve learned and offer their wisdom to the world to come.  

The prophet says that young men have dreams and old men have visions.  The wisdom of age builds the visionaries.  I live each day knowing I am closer to seeing the Messiah come.  But I do my thing quietly without much fanfare believing quietly is best.  I’m an old hippie who loves for love’s sake and seek Peace.  Inner Peace leads to outer Peace.  I just want to be different from most and live my simple theology/philosophy.  

I share with those who will listen and simply do my thing.  It’s not much but I live to please God and my Angels and not really please people.  But this my own thing and I share my path with no one.  Very few actually see my life, but my thinking is that I’ll impact a few who will then impact others.  This is my thing in old age.  God chooses His best, but in my case I often think God goofed up.  

But still I live and I live my way believing my way is best.  In doing so, I just hope I am one of God’s best but often I don’t think so, but that is my cross I must bear sharing it with no one else.  I sit and meditate while smoking my pipe, hoping to just be my best.  I am best mostly alone.  This is my thing.  I let God do the rest.  My pipe this morning is my Savinelli Arcobaleno Blue pipe and my coffee is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Kind Of

 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...

Most Important

 I’m not sure that Peace is more important than love but in a way they go hand-in-hand.  I wasn’t going to write today, but I got to thinking about my Peaceful feeling today.  I feel Peaceful as I sit and smoke my pipe, but life isn’t always peaceful.  But feeling Peaceful is the first step to loving ourselves.  And if it’s there it goes outward from us. I began a post this morning and felt it wasn’t very good and thought I’m might not post today.  I’ve had my morning coffee and am on my third bowl of pipe tobacco for the day, but I have this most peaceful feeling about life and thought I’d share this with you.  Life comes at us and we don’t always feel either peaceful or loving.  But when we take time to meditate on Peace we are filled with it. I wish I could explain it better, but we need to shut out the world and take time for ourselves.  That’s the best way I can describe it.  It is a Spiritual gift we seek.  If we want it then ...
