This week we lost another popular person to what appears to be either a drug over-dose or suicide. R.I.P. DJ AM.
This latest death exemplifies a tragic pattern of behavior in our society. Whereas most people have to deal with the ups and downs of life with a sober mind, more and more people are retreating to stimulants in order to forget or ignore the valleys. R.I.P. Reality.
Sadly, this is not a new trend. Alcoholism was very prevalent in the 50's and 60's though it was diagnosed less often. While alcoholism had a proverbial effect on the families of it's addicts, the new trend of pill-popping appears to primarily affect only the participants. The result of this trend is that while Alcoholism created dysfunctional families, conventional drug abuse has completely ended family structures. Obviously the death of a patriarch or matriarch leaves a family dis-jointed in a much more drastic way than the drunk behavior of a parent or sibling (all this assuming the absence of death by DWI, or alcohol poisoning). While these are all bad things, the distinction is that as long as you are alive you will have to eventually deal with the valleys of life...which is the point in this blog entry.
Life's extreme highs cannot be adequately enjoyed unless they are accompanied by lows. This is the precise reason why addicts never really enjoy anything like their first high. The more time you spend high, the less high you get and the more mundane all of your experiences become. But what is a good time without a bad time. The reality is that bad things have to happen. The beauty of humanity is that our response to bad things and how we process bad information will determine how much of an effect bad things have on us. Our sober response to bad things will have a greater affect on how we feel than any drug or narcotic. There's no greater feeling than turning a negative situation into a positive opportunity. Imagine if Jesus' disciples had chosen to drown away His memory in the narcotic choice of the day instead of processing their feelings and relaying His message. The result would've been the mundane remembrance of an eternity changing event as opposed to the birth of the most popular Faith on this planet. If Civil Rights Activists had seen the death of Martin Luther King Jr. as defeat instead of using it as a catalyst for further change, the result would've been the mundane remembrance of a man who tried to change things instead of greatest social change in American History.
I'm not really trying to preach, but I do think that there is a disturbing trend in society to run away from our problems instead of processing and responding to life's harsh realities. I'm sure that Michael Jackson often missed how amazingly blessed he was because he had drowned away some negative memory with a pain-killer. The sad truth about narcotics is that they don't just wash-over bad feelings, they also wash over good feelings. The plain truth about reality is that human beings enjoy good times much more when we are sober than when we are "high."
I'm free. You?

Ours is an envionment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception::::
People who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON'T like evil and refuse to grant this feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their reincarnation as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.
Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of morbid disfavor once you understand that females are the God's favored gender. Muhammad's (Mohammed's) polygamy halfway through his life as a prophet was preditory. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believes in male superiority and that the abuse of women is God's will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in the recent past.
Black member size is temptation to a predisposed population.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men. Expect the largest landowner in Europe and the continent's original superpower also played a major role in African slavery.
Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings. This is the purpose behind many black's historical tendancy towards resistance.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they experienced higher numbers of children ascend into heaven because they were taught to think and behave appropriately, which they passed on to their children. Our preditory envionment of "freedom" was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad:::Much like the ghetto, America in general experiences a heightened level of temptation due to the people's disfavor.
Even the Old Testiment is not to be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women's attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.
Think about what I say. Consider what I teach. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God's way to grant some time before they end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their "investment".
Pray daily. Think appropriately. Too many are confident, unaware of the God's awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God's temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.
