Another Tiny Crack In The Shell...

 Another Tiny Crack in the Shell…





(Written in 1983)

Wandering along this life-laden, Oregonian coastline, eventide rushes in to greet an endlessly deep, volcanic-red sunset. 

As a rarely recollected past flashes a barrage of tortured faces, mortally alien to me, growing mental tentacles, and which entwine the momentarily arriving edges of my future reality, I painfully struggle to free one foothold in the threshold of mortal pride and vanity, the other naturally gravitating into the door of eternal sanity…

There is no turning back…

You have been continuously projecting outwardly, onto all others, the negative emotions of fear and distrust, which you have tried for so long to disown. You don’t remember the reasons, or their origins, just your self-inflicted misery and selfish suffering, from childhood to the present.

The seagull, faithful to its pre-designed purpose, flies, without questioning, to its programmed destination. And I’m ever left with more questions than answers…

There is no turning back…

A cheesecake-colored moon is reflecting the sun’s living warmth, from a dead and desolate surface, the waste-product of an absolutely present thought in an eternally remote space and time.

And for the first time in my life, I realize I have been walking through this life, as one who, from birth, has been blind…

“Blessed is the mind, whose thoughts have wings… And like the songbirds of a feather, have their own song to sing…”

There is no turning back…

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

  arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity   What Do YOU Fear that Makes YOU Arrogant? Give Me Liberty If one man craves freedom — liberty — he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother. To the child mind, it w...
