THE LOST ART OF PONDER

The lost art of Ponder

To ponder = To think over time. It is no wonder in a society of “Got to have it now” that the art of pondering has been forgotten, suppressed [yes time is money] and lost. The fact is, we just don’t have time for it period. It is also true that all answers are not given right away or on the spot. In fact most answers and not given... period. They require an active over time response of searching and digging out. And so it is that any form of impatience works against you.

So it is without doubt that pondering and patience go hand in hand. It is also true that time and thought work together. They are two ingredients that support one another. When thought is left out you are subject fate...Time just moves on. When time is left out you become purely a reactionary...and mistakes reoccur. Then someone finally says... “ Maybe we should think about this a little more deeply!”...So now we justify an act of pondering.

But we live in a society that is impatient, always in a rush with no time. It is no wonder that ponder is such a hard sell. In todays world reactionism is king. Thinking comes in second... [when there is time for it or some sudden loss of money becomes apparent]  ... And pondering will remain a lost luxury.         

WINDOWS

Windows

Each and every man is a window upon the world.
In the house of mankind the windows are many.
To condemn any window for its’ view is beyond foolish for it is
stationary and can have no other view.

And so it is that all windows contribute and not subtract from our understanding of the outside world...And so subtraction here is purely a matter of not seeing. 

So to have only one window is truly limiting and you remain captive to your one and only view.
Hence, now what you do not see and understand is now beyond measure.
And so it is that the man who seeks new windows has a much and continued understanding of the world around him. He who does not hurts and condemns only himself.     

Plates...

Too many spinning plates always leads to disaster.
We only have so much time and energy...And you can't do it all...And yes, gravity always wins in the end. The minute you lose focus something falls...And yes again, you need more hands but you only have two. Only spin what truly needs to be spun lest you lose control...And so what is it that truly needs to be spun?
So in such a complex changing world spinning less maybe the
very best deal.  

Jealousy a dangerous cup of tea

Jealousy a dangerous cup of tea...

  If jealousy is your only cup of tea...Then it is that you alone are the cause of your very own self-destruction...You are the seed who taints its' very self. You set yourself beyond the help of your brothers...A useless and wretched path indeed....Is it not truly a form of admiration gone sour?
You say to your subconscious self-... Why don't I have this or that?  Then you proceed to pout?

So then in an act revenge you shall make the world unhappy with you?...because surely you shall not bear this perceived unhappy weight alone. There is no need to be your own worst enemy...
Life is much too short for that...

50% Chance of failure...

 50%  CHANCE OF FAILURE IS A GOOD DEAL!

50%  Chance of failure is a good deal. This is a natural law... A natural equation...Sometimes what you try works sometimes it does not. Your success in life is greatly determined by how you deal with that 50% of failure. Not knowing how to roll with the punches is a recipe for doom. Hence there is a true value in perseverance. It is in the knowing how to make use of failure...It is the turning of the table again and again and again until a new path emerges...Hence perseverance now grants success.

So it is that cheating yourself of an opportunity at failure maybe a bad thing for you never learn to roll with life's punches. Nature transforms all failures into opportunities. It makes use of all punches and turns them into advantages.
So it is that nature is a model for success.
 

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.
