I clicked "Like" and that click in my head sounded louder than thunder
As I wander along the electric fence enclosure I refer to as My Path to I Am...I incur ideas stemming from what seems like No-Where...these ideas point to a break in the fence and pull me through the opportunity into a meadow of vegetation on which to feed The Mind. Sometimes, I leave these meadows befuddled, yet armed with new found energy, to continue in the search for plausable answers to share with the other students on their path. Often, the Remenants of past students provide more questions rather than true answers.
Indeed there are two kinds In human kind...Those who Know, and those who do not Know...
In Valentian theory:
'Plato, then, in expounding mysteries concerning the universe, writes to Dionysius expressing himself after some such manner as this: “. . . All things are about the King of all, and on his account are all things, and he is cause of all the glorious (objects of creation). The second is about the second, and the third about the third. But pertaining to the King there is none of those things of which I have spoken. But after this the soul earnestly desires to learn what sort these are, looking upon those things that are akin to itself, and not one of these is (in itself) sufficient. . . .”
Valentinus, falling in with these (remarks), has made a fundamental principle in his system “the King of all,” whom Plato mentioned, and whom this heretic styles Pater, and Bythos, and Proarche over the rest of the Æons. And when Plato uses the words, “what is second about things that are second,” Valentinus supposes to be second all the Æons that are within the limit[Horos] (of the Pleroma, as well as) the limit (itself). And when Plato uses the words, “what is third about what is third,” he has (constituted as third) the entire of the arrangement (existing) outside the limit and the Pleroma.'

Troubles come in every shape,
And tend to make one frown,
Cheer up,
And,
Never let your troubles weigh you down.
For if you stop to think on it,
More often so, than not,
Your troubles don't seem quite like ones
That other folks have got.
If only magik spectacles could really help one see
That troubles are but stepping stones,
And not catastrophe.
For on this journey we call life,
When troubles bring dismay,
Smile with the knowledge
There is always hope,
And the promise of
A clear and brighter day.
And tend to make one frown,
Cheer up,
And,
Never let your troubles weigh you down.

If only magik spectacles could really help one see
That troubles are but stepping stones,
And not catastrophe.
For on this journey we call life,
When troubles bring dismay,
Smile with the knowledge
There is always hope,
And the promise of
A clear and brighter day.
Justice: Happiness in Society
Saint Thomas
Men are natural social beings. They live together and work together for their mutual advantage. This cooperation of men with one another is necessary if men are to achieve real success in human living. If all parents abandoned all children immediately after birth, the children would not live and the human race would perish. If all the patrons of department stores took the merchandise but refused to pay the price, all department stores would be bankrupted and soon there would be no stores at all and no goods to be purchased. If, from birth to death, every man had to do everything for himself, provide his own good, his own clothing, his own home, his own medical care, his own defense against thieves and murderers, his own education, then the human race would perish. The fullness of human living is possible to mankind only through the cooperation of all in the persuit of the common good of all. Men must live together and Work together if each man is to have his chance to lead a full, rich human life. Briefly, men must live in society.

I really enjoyed this! ...there is so much in here, I'm going to listen to it again. Glad you put this on here.
It is my truth. When pushed I push back. The Level-headed Good Witch turns intoThe Raging Dragon Bitch. How can I take her? How do I kill her? How can I understand her?
Who else to slay our demons but the raging dragon bitch (or she hulk in my case)?
You don't need to destroy her, just accept and understand her. Without destruction there would be no need for creation.
We’ve got a lot of Scorpio energy in the clouds this month, and this has a lot of folks groaning. Oh no, Scorpio. Scorpio has a bit of an, intense reputation, shall we say? Anybody that has loved a Scorpio knows this, and that, intense is putting it nicely sometimes. Scorpiois not shy when it comes to using their stinger, they almost can’t help it. Actually, they can’t. Asking a Scorpio not to use their stinger is like asking a turtle to live without a shell. It’s part of who they are. To amputate the stinger, disables them. Just like removing a shell from a turtle would. But when Scorpio energy is in play, you can disable the stinger, and still move on from the predator. In spiritual terms, this is about learning how to make something dead to you, while still being able to move on, in peace. We call it forgiveness.

As a Fixed Sign, Scorpio is known to be a little Fixed in their ways, and when someone tries to sway them from that, out comes that stinger. It’s their own means of self-preservation. Some call that stubborn. As a Scorpio myself, I call it, being loyal to my opinions.
Forgiveness Is Loyalty to Self
But this gets Scorpio in trouble sometimes. Every zodiac sign has their blind spot, this is Scorpio’s. So you have to frame any kind of change to them as gently as possible, for your own protection! But this is also a blessing of Scorpio. They will stick with you right to the bitter end, unless you give them a really big, really good reason not to. They are the most loyal people you will ever meet. They are obsessive about their loyalty. Until they aren’t. That’s when, something becomes dead to them. When Scorpio cuts something out of their life, that person or thing experiences the “dead to me” effect. It doesn’t happen often with them, but when it does, instant funeral. Other Fixed Signs Aquarius, and Leo can relate, it’s not just Scorpio. It’s, Fixed.
There’s nothing wrong with making something dead to you in life. In fact, you won’t grow if you don’t from time to time. You will have at least one toxic relationship or friendship in your life, this is a fact. You will have at least one dead end job in your life, this is a fact. You will go through life being hurt very badly at least once, or, from time to time even, this is a fact. On this Earthly plane, it’s just what we do to each other. It’s called being human. Your job is to learn from those tests, not wallow in them.
Is There Something Holding You Back?
You need to make those things dead to you if you want to reach your fullest potential. But you don’t need to sit at that funeral for the rest of your life either. Deal with it, mourn the loss, and move on. In other words, don’t harbor a grudge. Forgive. And that’s really and truly just the simple choice of deciding, you aren’t going to let this person steal your thunder anymore. Make the choice. Otherwise, you learn nothing, and you don’t grow, and you stop your Self from being in love again, or being successful again, if you are too busy obsessing about a “funeral” you had about something or someone 5, 10, 15 years ago. If you’re still obsessing about something, it’s not dead to you yet. You haven’t had the funeral yet. And, it’s holding you back. The funeral is, forgiveness.

Where do you want to be? What are you obsessing about instead? Give your Self the gift of forgiveness. You can make something or someone dead to you, and not hate them. This is the Scorpio way. Scorpio does all of their obsessing and anger before the funeral, but that’s another story for another day. Today, focus on forgiveness. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. When you think of something that you have made dead to you, are you happy or sad?
Concluding Thoughts
You should feel liberated and happy when you forgive, because you made a choice to remove something from your life that wasn’t working. If you don’t feel happy, you haven’t had the funeral yet. Have the funeral, forgive the past and the pain of being human. Scorpio can teach you some real lessons in this, this month. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and soon a New Moon in Scorpio, will all be here to teach all of the zodiac signs the lessons that Scorpio deals with every single day. The things that aren’t working? Make them dead to you. And then, shine, baby shine.

Today was a day to tire,
Even the wisest of soul to conspire.
As today proved its worth to retire,
The skips and flat spots,
The haves and have nots,
And, the depth of the mind seeks to rewire.
Plotting and planning,
The fires I keep fanning,
Until I feel like I'm solid in thought.
By sevens, I thought not.
With tender voices they cry,
I try not to spy.
My suggestions I wish they could try.
I stand silent.
It is in the hang space I hear the most of their race,
To their unawares,
But, I silently I cry I have ideas to spare!
Yet, I hold my tongue,
My work left undone,
And I wait.
I wait.
Walking away with a mind seeped in others truth.
Truth be what it may,
I empty what it was I would say,
As I recline to retire,
My mind swept away toward a personal desire.©

As we grow older and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $3000 or a $30 watch, they both tell the same time.
Whether we carry a $3000 or a $30 wallet/handbag, the amount of money inside is the same.
Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine, the hangover is the same.
Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. feet, loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sung songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth - - That is true happiness!!
SIX UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE:
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.
2: Best awarded words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
3: The one who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.
4: There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it.
5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!
6: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!
SIX BEST DOCTORS IN THE WORLD:
1. Sunlight
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self Confidence and
6. Friends/Family
Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Just as space enables all things to exist and just as without silence there could be no sound, you would not exist without the vital formless dimension that is the essence of who you are.
Being is prior to existence. Existence is form, content, "what happens". Existence is the foreground of life; Being is the background.
The collective disease of humanity is that people are so engrossed in what happens, so hypnotized by the world of fluctuating forms, so absorbed in the content of their lives...they have forgotten the essence--that which is Beyond...beyond content, beyond form, beyond thought.
They are so consumed by time that they have forgotten eternity...Eternity which is their origin, their home, their destiny. Eternity is the living reality of who you are.
The two dimensions that make up reality:
Thingness and No-Thingness
Form and the denial of form, which is the recognition that form is not who you are.©
