Porverbs revisited

The Proverb Revisited:


A Proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

 A stitch in time saves nine. Let us see the value. How much does this really have to do with
sewing...Sure it works for the seamstress...Hence: Sew the hole up before it gets worse. But this applies to thousands of other things. So thinking its’ application in sewing only is mostly a mistake. That was not why the proverb was created.

The "true name" of any proverb is:  “A key that will make your life easier”...or in this case fix the problem when it starts or pay the consequence later. And this is all self evident and we all know it to be true. But that is not the  problem. The true problem is that these words are just a mere signpost or a direction  just as one would find on a street corner. It has no or little value unless you take action. It must be done, and then do it again and then again until its’ value can be seen and felt. Such as any road that is just seen but never gone down. No expirence no learning.  Our forefathers knew this about how we learn things. We learn little about a road that is never gone down. So a proverb is summation or refined expirence of the road travled because they knew it would be forgotten over time. So in fact this proverb is no more than a signpost in disguise. It seeks to prevent you from becoming your own worst enemy.

But it demands action lest nothing be resolved...Not once but many times. So I can ascertain that for the most part the words are meaningless for they just impart a particular direction and the action is in fact everything. So in fact you can’t learn it unless you do it.
And you have known that all along...

Death and Rapture

 Death and Rapture

Death and Rapture equal the very same thing = Gone, Taken
Two different methods, processes, paths, roads that equal the very same reality = Gone.

Death and Rapture both stand knee deep in human ignorance...Both incomplete roads.
But human insecurity gives rise to constant reaching...The need for explanation is overwhelming.
“That which gives life meaning”...But again I preach patience...and you know as well as I that Time will reveal all...Once again it is simple: "Gone" can not exist without the words Where and Why.

Look up into the heavens...There is no star that escapes the words Where and Why. Gone is a mere step in a staircase. And Time will deliver you to the next step regardless of your will, "perceived freedom" or whatever. So do look up into the night sky and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there exist wheres and whys beyond your wildest dreams...And slowly the word “Gone” will start to have new meaning.       

The Atheist

An Atheist is like a small bird who lands on an iceberg...It only understands what it sees. By nature it has no resource for comprehending that which can exist in a different an unseen world...Invisible but is supporting and connected.

Remaining intangible and not perceived the supporting undersea ice is far beyond measure for his small mind. Yet what seen and unseen require each other. One cannot exist without the other. Hence a universe with out God is pure nonsense and silly.  

All In All

All and All...

All and all I have to consider that I may be on the wrong road. What is even worse is to consider
that I may have walked down the wrong road a very long ways. This is something that everyone should consider and keep in the back of your head. Perhaps I am on the right road, but that may not be enough. I may need in fact to journey down the right road more than once. Could I have missed something? Things are not coming together easily. I am not yet able to distinguish form to this path. So I wander in the dark.

I hear you say already in the back of your mind. “Bill this is all relative” And I say to you as a man who walks upon the same earth: Yes, there is a right road that is in fact common to all.
Then you say: Where? Then I say “It alludes you”. “You must work to find it.” It is not in fact different for each as it is in common for all. What one man does well or not is not what one man is. You are in fact much more than that. You constantly sell yourself short of your existence and your abilities. 

Let me set this in very simple terms. When you find the right and correct road you will know it.
It is in fact a glove with the perfect fit. Words will fail to describe it...And yes, language falls short. But you will not fail to recognize it for what it is. It is then that the pieces of the the puzzle
that have alluded you in the past start to grant you vision.

The right and correct path requires first and foremost a journey down it. It is only then that you can tell me of its’ value. Then it is glued to your very being for all time. That’s some pretty heavy stuff
  And so it is he who searches shall someday find. Leave no rock unturned! 

The Buried Dangers in Specialization

The Over Specialized Lone Woodsman...

Let us now envision our modern form of specialization in the life of the “lone woodsman”.

We shall restrict him to the task of only collecting and cutting wood for his fire place. He shall do nothing but collect wood everyday,every week and every month. He now becomes out of balance. The varied  life sustaining jobs like getting food maintaining his shelter are out of the picture and now they are completely neglected. It is written in the book of nature that neglecting of this life balance any of these skills shall end life. So how important is this?

 He now the custodian of and ever growing pile of wood. He now has no food, water and soon will starve. Now let us farther narrow and focus into cutting and gathering only oak trees a particular kind of wood. He now becomes his very own worst enemy. Loosing scope and vision of what life requires he now practices insanity. Now we will farther increase the insanity by adding competing oak tree cutters into the very same woods. We have now increased his difficulties by ten fold. He has been beaten badly before he takes a single step into the woods!

Nature demands a group of skills for life and never just one. 

Man Alone -Ubuntu

As I look for support for my convictions it seems that the world itself has come to my aid.
So I now stand in complete conviction that so many are on the wrong road. It’s not about competition. It never was. Competition shouts: “It’s all about me!” “I am better than you!”
It screams of the self alone and as we have seen that equals death and destruction.

(I found this online-  How incredibly apropo!)

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''~

'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are"

Apparently this kind of brotherhood is fostered by nature itself if left alone. This kind of behavior of individuals in the present day world is unheard and is shocking...and none can see it for what it really is.
It is so very sad.

 "I AM BECAUSE WE ARE" -How incredibly profound!

CRAFTING OF THE SELF

THE CRAFTING OF THE SELF

We have to start somewhere. You learn this sooner or later.
It’s just a matter of time. To understand scope you must have vision.
The blind man knows little of his place. The more you see the more you understand.

Foundations 5

The Faulty Foundations

In society something is amuck. All the evidence is there. I hope that you know and understand that our problems are deep rooted. That is that there is no easy fix. No bandaid solutions exist.
And because the problem is deep rooted its’ errors has spread upward in many directions.

To conclude the the machine should be scraped is ludacris and crazy. Too much good has been
archived. Natural law states that ALL shall come to some use. A deep rooted problem reports that much time was involved in its’ failing. So it is that a reverse healing will require at least as much time and pressure. Will changing society will be too challenging? Are the walls too high and too long? What do you have control of anymore? Do you have control of yourself? You must have control of you lest there is no help.          

MAN ALONE part 8

And so sharing out is given because it is required for all life...Because there are life needs that must be filled. The slightest glimpse of nature should make this very apparent.
Therefore the lack of needs or the condition of all needs sated or filled moves us in the very opposite direction. This guarantees no help given. Why? You don’t need it! Thus no relationship planted. No brotherhood born...And nothing is fostered. The very reasons for sharing out are annihilated. At this level sharing out in not an option. To consider sharing out as an individual option is to tear down or destroy that very wall which guarantees our survival. There is in fact no other option other than choosing to die alone.  

MAN ALONE part 7

Man alone  part 7

This “sharing out” of you is the  basic act that provide the support and the help of a continued   existence. This is the beginning seed of all human relationships. There is no other. This act of help forms that essential connective tissue between two like souls. It is the very birth place of brotherly love. So how is it I ask you once again that the number of men should alter, change, the reality of this equation of life? How is it that time itself should detract from this? Brother, what is it that has caused you to loose sight of the very root of life???    

MAN ALONE part 4

 Although it pains me to do so, I shall reduce this to an equation. Your Life = A sharing out. It is a constant. Your continued existence depends on it. If then it is written in stone that your life requires a sharing out then ANY form of selfishness gives rise to the destruction of the relationship between you and your brother man. Hence THAT guarantees the death and destruction of all. That beginning of “selfishness” is the undermining of all. And so it is that your brothers shall say. How is this that you keep extra food for yourself alone?! 

FOUNDATIONS part 2

You and the Earth

There is a relationship between you and the earth that for the most part has
been forgotten. It is as if I had built a wooden platform or a deck in my backyard
so that my feet need never touch the dirt again. No matter how much I reside on my deck the dirt is not going away. I can forget about the dirt and its’ qualities for a long while but the dirt is not going away. Generations can be raised on that deck as long as it stands but the dirt is still not going away. If anything, a great disservice has been handed to the next generation because they know very little about how and why the deck was built...And the dirt is still not going away. And as generations upon the deck continue we know less and less about the dirt, the very foundation upon which the deck sits... Our society is that wooden platform... and that dirt upon which it stands is Our Earth.
