Short, and some longer, Thoughts

Greatness

There is the saying :"Some are born great and some have greatness thrust upon them" but what is this "greatness" so talked about? Each will have their own definition of it. Some will think it's to be big and powerful, to have much control over others, some others again will think it has to do with having done great deeds, to be a hero, and then again the "rags to riches" story of how a guy stood out from the "muck" and managed to achieve something big.

Greatness can come in many forms and many kinds of people can achieve many kinds of greatness. The trick is to discover what kind of greatness do you hold and how that greatness can be expressed...art...film...song...writer....orator....inventor.​..leader...teacher....gardener...mother...father and on and on and on to a myriad limitless possibilities. 

The one thing about greatness is that it really is a very personal and unique thing. Nobody can copy another's greatness. Nobody can achieve exactly the same kind of greatness because nobody is the same.

In truth greatness is not born into or shoved upon. In truth greatness is grown into. Is developed step by step, day by day, experience by experience. Your greatness is based exclusively on who you are. It is a brand unique to you. For anyone that tries to copy and emulate another's greatness, you will fail..because you are not that other and do not have that other's background and specific abilities.

If you want greatness,look for it in yourself, because what you seek is already there, you already have it. Just find it and grow it. 

The Creator of all has endowed every single soul with the ability to achieve greatness and wonders beyond even a wildest, wildest imagination but to achieve that you must find the seed you were created with and grow it. That seed can take eons and eons to grow and mature but once it gets going and you nurture it by choice throughout your entire eternal career you will not only achieve a great many great things but will yourself become a great thing. Greater than you could've ever dreamt of.

Your earned greatness will light up the universe and as you join with others greatnesses it will fill and compliment each other. You will learn that your greatness very much depends on the greatness you also help all and everything achieve. True greatness is not an individual thing...it's a collective thing. 

So, find your own greatness, grow your own greatness and join your own unique greatness with the unique greatness of everyone. Then...SHINE...SHINE TOGETHER....like only united great souls can shine. Therein then do you discover absolute greatness. GREATNESS OF ONENESS and TOGETHERNESS where all is still themself yet in many measures also each other as you eternally share yourself with the Creation you have your existence in. 

In the final reckoning you will learn that none are born into greatness but all are destined for it...if they choose to it. Greatness is a choice and one you and you alone can make. Choose your Greatness and discover what dreams your Creator has for you. Be Great. It's your Destiny.

Hey hey, Good day White Fly!

You're coherent and positive messages

are appreciated.

Thanks to you, and all else, who find it positive. It's all part of my journey and I hope it assist other's journeys too.

Damn...this place needs more Thank You smileys.

people need contrast?

Interesting question Callit. Without contrast there's no discernment. You need light to recognise darkness, evil to know good, lies to know truth, fear to know peace and pain to know wellbeing. Contrast is duality and duality is necessary to a growing spirit for developing a sound sense of judgment and discrimination which, btw, is not a bad thing in the right measure. It's necessary for a healthy mind, healthy spirit and of course healthy body. Contrast is necessary for learning about life.

And today's post is to contrast the idea that money is power.

Money is not power

Money is not power. Money is the curse of materialism. Money disempowers. Money is the lock on the cell door of the prison of materialism. Materialism imprisons the mind and soul. The most powerless are those that deem themself powerful purely due to physical riches. The greatest prisoner is the man imprisoned by his money.

Money is not freedom. It is limitation of the worse degree. It is a trap of gold and gems. No rich man can go to heaven until he transcends his money. The true rich and powerful are those that can be rich and powerful without money.

Avarice will expand your golden, glittering cell, even to near infinity if you wish, but will also fortify the lock. Your mind will still be imprisoned and the key to dissolving the lock and cell will be completely forgotten about. You will work diligently at expansion and think just because you can't see the prison bars anymore that you are free and have everything while in truth you'll have nothing because you'll have no true freedom. That's the delusion of avarice. Making you think you're out of prison just because you can't see it anymore.

The key is your own mind. Once your mind lets go of money the lock and the prison cell of materialism itself will dissolve away because it's all self created but you are led to believe it is not and that you don't have the power to overcome it. That you need it. You always have the key and when you discover it the illusion vanishes. Only you can free yourself from the idea that money is power and freedom. Only then do you gain your true freedom, power and riches.

The mind's needs does not have to follow the body's needs. The body often has requirements forced on it and needs to comply with those requirements, such as money. The mind however doesn't need to be tied to that. Just because your body is imprisoned in some way doesn't mean your mind has to be. Freedom of mind is being in freedom even if the body isn't.

On this world money is designed to be a tool of enslavement of body, mind and spirit. Even if nothing can be done to free the body from the hold of money much can be done to free the mind and spirit from it. They do not have to be tied to money. That is what materialism is. Having all three aspects of you tied to money, to only a material perspective and existance. It's not materialism if only your body requires it and only too because it's forced on you by powers that can only operate in the physical when you break free and remove their hold on your mind and spirit.

You are far from powerless. You have the power, you give the power and you can take it back and away from whomever wants to rule you. You have the free will and free will is great power in itself. A power that even Creator cannot overcome because it is from Creator. You have great power of freedom. Those that want to control you just want you to think you don't so that you will build your own mental prison and live in it while the very key to your freedom is in your pocket.  Even if your physical requires money you can still transcend it. That's how you break the prison lock of money which epitomises materialism.

Money is the greatest generator of fear. All, whether they have it or not, fears being without it. Consequently then one can reason that the most fearful people are the ones with the most money because having great wealth creates the greatest fear of losing that wealth. The poor man only fears he won't have dinner. The rich man fears he won't have anything.

Then one can also say that the most fearless man is the man with nothing to lose. And that is the black magic trap of money. At its core it's good for nobody. It's lose-lose. In the conclusion then I'll say that If the aim is to create a fearless world then money must be abolished. No money in the world, no existential fear as created by the money and greater peace and freedom...and personal power...for all.

Legal and Illegal. Right and Wrong

Under man-made laws anything can be made legal and anything can be made illegal but that does not mean that legal always follow what is right and illegal always follow what is wrong.

Right is what is good and beneficial for all and everything. Wrong is what is harmful and destructive for all and everything. To have a just and fair world it would be much wiser to judge by right and wrong than legal and illegal.

Good day WhiteFly!

Thank you for posting.

You bring honest Truth into what I

find to be a funny situation.

Hello to you too! As I look around I find it not only funny sometimes but totally absurd and unbelievable the levels of creativity people can display in justifying their thoughts and actions even when they know it's wrong.

Yesterday I was watching some of Trump's impeachment hearings and it was stunning how they could lie without batting an eye. Saying things with no evidence to ever back it up. They make laws that has no foundation in real justice at all. Whenever they want to do something that's wrong they just make a law because a "law" automatically means that something is right. Well, for your average person anyway. But it doesn't! Something can't be made right just by somebody's say-so. It has to grounded in genuine principles of the greater good for all and not just that of one small interest group, even if they are the powerful. The purpose of the powerful is to lift and empower the weak, not keep them weak through unfair, unjust and selfish laws.

What is right is good, real good, not imagined good and what is wrong is bad, real bad. Willy Nilly laws shouldn't be used to justify every whim to pretend it is right just because somebody is deviant and want to satisfy that deviance without risk of drastic consequence, like jail time or worse. A law should be a guide to what is good and right for those who don't quite yet know what good and right is and can't quite yet live independantly and responsibly without such guiding boundaries. It should protect from harm, not further it, and encourage beneficial development.

We have so many laws in this world which only purpose is to benefit a small group instead of working on the principle of that Star Trek Vulcan proverb of "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" and the divine law that say's "Love your neighbor as yourself". I have seen the potential of peaceful co-existance, the brotherwood of all people, if only the principles of the above 2 laws were followed on the personal and broader levels. Some say "Laws (or rules) are meant to be broken". Well, imho, that should be only if those laws are wrong. Why should you want to do it if those laws are right? If they are beneficial to the larger whole?

Rules and laws should have a place only if they benefit the majority ("majority" because there will always be a disaffected minority. That's just how humans are) ,equally and justly, and if those laws are fair and just then "law enforcement" would be practically unnecessary as everybody would willingly do what is to their benefit. The best laws would be the ones people don't want to break because there would be no point. In turn then all society will benefit.

Someday we will have such laws. They'll be called Divine Laws and man will abide by them because it will be good and benificial for them. Another name for these laws would also be the Laws of Love. If every person wrote these laws on their hearts then eventually, one day, there would be practically no need for any more external laws. When the Laws of God are carried in the Heart, the Laws of God, of Love, will be carried in the World and everyone will truly Love their neighbor as themself. It will happen.

Intelligence and Stupidity

Intelligence is not related to stupidity. Stupidity is a lack of insight, reason and wisdom while intelligence is a measure of ability, rationalization and analytical skills.

One can be intelligent yet still be stupid when one lacks the proper skill to add insight, reason and wisdom to ability ,rationalization and analysis to determine effects of actions and decisions.

A book and education can make a man more, or less, intelligent while the education of experience and its subsequent wisdom can only make him less stupid.

Beggars can be choosers

"Beggars can't be choosers" - False. Beggars are choosers. Free will endows that choice.

WhiteFly for President!

lol

it's funny cause it's true!

You got jokes too ;)

This reminds me of a personal experience I had around 20 years ago.

I and a friend went to a parking lot outside a catholic institution here in Denver... to get free food. Run by nuns.

well that day there was a dumped load of potatoes and MANY were spoiled beyond use.

both of us were picking thru the heap to find non rotten potatoes to take home.

a Nun came up to us and began putting any old rotten potatoes into our bags... and told us both.. beggars cannot be choosers.

Soon as she went on to others we dumped out the spoiled and gathered some more that were edible or could be trimmed to produce some edible amount. I did confront the Nun... to no avail.

Woman and Man

A woman is not the property of a man nor is she his servant. A woman is the man's partner to support him, guide him where he cannot see, uplift his spirit when he can't do it himself and just be his best friend, his partner, his cheersquad. A woman is the embodiment of mother love of the nature mother and the spirit mother. She is to be cared for, protected, cherished and let know how beautiful she really is.

A woman must know how to appreciate a man and a man must know how to honor a woman as a giver and carrier of life and love. A man must be open to what a woman can teach him. He does not have to become like a woman to understand a woman. All he needs to do is open that corner of his heart where she can live free of judgment.

A woman and a man are complimentary. They are made to fit together, not to dominate each other. It is not the woman's right or purpose to dominate. It is not the man's right or purpose to dominate. It is the right and purpose of both to fill each other to completion. To share life and love for as long a time as they have together. Subservience does not befit a true divinely based woman-man relationship. Partnership in equality but with respect for each's role and diversity does. Above all love, deep inspired love, must be in both for onesided love is dead love. Love likes company.

Be a woman. Be a man. There's no need to compromise what you are but always have love, respect, tolerance and patience for each and always remember that life depends on your love and your mutual journey makes it all the richer.

Good words there^

Betterment and Recognition

Do not work just for the betterment of self. Work for the betterment of all as the betterment of all is the betterment of self. Yet, do not expect recognition from your worldly brothers but know that you will earn the recognition of your spiritual brothers.

Hmmm...

It seems the betterment of self is for the all.

How can one hope to benefit humanity if one does not better ones self?

Self-betterment, specifically spiritual self-betterment, has a ripple effect. If you work to better yourself, become more loving, caring and patient, you will transfer the results to others and, even if the contact is just brief and casual and even if they don't fully realise it, they'll carry it forward in some way. You don't really even have to always do or say anything. Your efforts will just "shine" from you and so will the betterment of self lead to the betterment of all.

Ah, that makes sense.

Thank You ;)

Insignificant Signifances

Don't ignore the insignificant because many small insignificances can become some big significances.

Civilization

A Civilization is a peaceful society of high spiritual, ethical, moral, intellectual and technological development.

Earth in 2019 has no civilization. It is nowhere to be found. It is a brutish animalistic existence of strife and competition for resources, power and sex. It is no different than the beasts of the field.

In the future times of this world ,under the administration of the Divine, civilization will not be rebuilt. It will be built.

Interesting...
;)

I lived there and so I totally agree.

They tend to live for their community, where as Americans tend to live for themselves, and that makes all of the difference.

Education

Education is not what a book teaches you. It is not what your parents, school teachers or professors taught. Education is what life has taught and what you have done with it. Everything else is just information. What kind of education do you have?

Good reading here. Thanks for the read.

What are your thoughts on Immorality and Wickedness?

Thank you for that question. Immorality and Wickedness. There can be quite some debate as to the nature and origins of it but here are my thoughts on it.

Immorality can spring from 2 things. First, it can simply be due to an undeveloped sense and knowledge of what is right and wrong from an immature being. All souls go through that stage as they learn about the ethics of spirit, the laws of God and Creation and the benefits to themselves and society in general of ascending ethical and moral conduct and consciousness. It's just the gathering of knowledge and experience which then leads to deeper understandings and wisdom. These are the times when forgiveness, understanding and mercy can be most important.

Second, it's a deliberate choice to ignore known decent ethical and moral conduct to just engage in whatever you want "because it feels good" or "just because". Sometimes, too, it's simply because ethics and morals are just in the way of satisfying selfish desires. Immorality is the first stage of wickedness but doesn't always progress to full blown wickedness. It depends on the inclination of the being engaging in it.

Wickedness is having knowledge of the laws of Creation and God and being well versed in what is right and wrong. It is then the choice to subvert and break the laws of Spirit and deliberately undermine what is good and right, ethical and moral, almost always for selfish benefit at a detrimental and harmful cost to others. It is a deliberate war on everything God.

And to connect with my thoughts in the previous post, here's today's thought.

Experience is Education

Experience is the best education. Some are just slow learners.

it would be wonderful to see this concept TAUGHT in Religions...and a goodly portion of Sunday services spent in STORY TELLING about EXPERIENCE and what was learned as to the education of such.
