A wise sage-like person told me, “be careful what you imagine, because it’ll happen”.

Aint that true. Its something i live by everyday, and i try to expand that, but making that idea work and receive dividends. What you place intension towards will physically become true. Another simple way to put it, “you think things into existence”.

So, in all life, there is plenty of thinking to do. In fact. its probably the crux of what defined human being from each other. Who wants to cooperate with other, in giving time, energy and resources towards a project or idea, with other parties that are investing in similar proportions. There are people wholl grasp what im saying and there will be other thatll take alittle time too.

The title of this article of ‘self furfilling prophecy’ really centres around, from my subjective opinion and perception, is today, the truth is, the historical fact of heart disease in Australia and New Zealand. People with stone like heart and family history of heart disease, means a few things, but the saying “this person has no heart” is the saying id like to apply to the ‘self furfilling prophecy’ idea and concept.

Anyone can say it. Like a magical wand that clears away all your lifes sorrows. And ofcourse we have sorrows. Sorrows our childhood could have been happier, sorrow that our house could be more luxurious, sorrows we could have more fancy freinds or eat at nice restaurants and sorrows we would like to sent our children into more expensive educational schools and university placements.

Plainly enough. Life is sorrow tidal wave or perhaps a white squal storm in a tea cup of sorrows.

But, one by one, once you look at the few sorrows Ive listed, you may unpack a few truths. Lets unpack the falsehoods of expensive private school education. Truth is, most advanced learning systems are online now, and rather price conscience or if not free. Housing now has changed now, because of social media people want to meet in public using facebook groups, therefore, local councils are under tremendous stress to rebuild public spaces to fit more people and lighting to let people meet at odd hours. Expensive houses are now distrusted by persons today. The sorrow of a better childhood is now a falsehood, because due to social media and video streaming services, you can create your own, not so much belief system and have people enter into and share your virtual space as equals, childhood isnt based on location elements anymore. Its about sharing moments that unify. Alot of people grow up too sheltered by their parents and never learn how to talk to strangers and therefore unable to earn a living. Now days young people are ‘people entrepreneurs’ and build long lasting network of trust and mutual understandings, having even leaving their own homes or perhaps public librarys. Now local counsils are under considerable pressure to update library in their town to cater for social media go getter who arrive just to use the WIFI internet, in order to post opinions and cater to their own subscribed followers. Social media is reading and writing. This is what is happening and its happening at a pace us grown ups cant grasp.

Scape goating can stop i believe if we build our way out of oblivion.

We construct new public areas for face to face meetups that are we’ll lit, and also build librarys that are also social media orientated. Its 2019 and one library in Australia even been renovated or built with social media in mind? its been 20 years now hasent it?

Australia and its regional neighbors may be alot further behind that person realise, because we havent understood, that 3 generation of heart disease have sceewd our human ability to grasp social reality.

All this suppositions leed to a hypothetical question, that may have no answer, but only a behaviour of change.

Does anyone have a heart anymore, besides me?

A good habit ive formed over the years to distangle immediate problems is what i like to call, psychotherapy jazz. Something i havent created. But simply, you just very typical to improv writing, but with psychotherapy, you just express yourself any old how, and what you say may be half right or less. The trick is to unbind what has been somewhat deeply implanted or rooted in your subconscience. It reminds me of the Inception film, when the main character talked about, mental sercurity software for our minds, How do you flush out your mind each day? psychotherapy jazz. Thats how! Usually half or less, or perhaps almost everything is untrue. Often you replace names with names that feel more comfortable to talk about. But the logic of the metaphor of storys you express, reveal hidden truths that you yourself has created or perhaps impressed upon you externally, without you knowing about it which is usually the outcome. TOday we are being harrassed by media advertisements, all of which attempting to conquer the space in our mind in order for us to ‘buy,buy,buy’, like programmed robots. Im not complaining because i like advertisments since it helps me to make educated decisions, but the sideeffects from mass communication in 2019 perhaps means our minds may have a small risk, that is simply, our minds may never leave the advertisement. I think people under stress catch themselves out sometimes, with the concept of ‘self talk’, much like the ball called Wilson in the movie Castaway. Perhaps this is just subs-conscience overload and a needed for a overall clean out and purification of self. Buddhists are really into purification ceremonies as, many other spiritual faiths these days. Perhaps as a western society we can develop some our own, as we are surrounded by high tech devices that help us communicate, but day by day, become further away from each other, but also, away from our own essence of personal being, then, we attack the last contact of self improvement, such as ‘self talk’ as an illness, instead as an emergency mechanism that the mind uses to find balance again. What have we become in 2019? I mean, we all have to know ourselves, live by ourselves and with ourselves. We cant escape ourselves so therefore, the version of self should be a good one. And this term of mental security, is moreso, developing openly techniques to clear away the clutter of the mind perhaps as often as needed. Somedays, it could be very oftern and somedays could be very little or not at all. I like the term psychotherapy jazz, especially in an information age, with smart phones. Information and knowledge are very fast moving objects, and therefore, to love oneself and love others as one loves himself, a christian ethic, we need to stop calling everyone “crazy” and start looking at psychotherapy jazz and self talk, in constructive ways. Because, due to the speed of information and knowledge these days. Another technique to suit the times in needed. And fast!

You also throw in the concept of ‘online bullying’ mixed in with the concept of ‘self talk’. You have two ideas that can be simultaneously misused and abuse to a compounded affect of damage and disharmony. Its 2018-2019 and this should not be.

Personally, my immediate concern is to identify these two concepts and harness them for good and maximize social cohesion. Personally, i think society is being swamped by online bullying concepts and abuse of ‘self talk’ dynamics, of such, that it is a crow bar to pry open a lodged object that is squeezed between and rock and a hard place. Misusing concepts like ‘self talk’, that arise under specific stress usually external, of which can be reproduced and most people would react the same, and also, the misuse of concepts of ‘online bullying’ are a very destructive mix. It seems its left nothing of the offline society of the 1980’s and 1990’s. Today we are online, but locked with much tighter restraints. Where online bullying can be targeted on a person, just with a glance to your own smart device. It alls interesting stuff.

bens bible study #21

Draft

READ 1 Corinthians 9:8-10
Am i expressing merely a human opinion or does the law say the same thing. For the law of Moses says “YOu must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads our the grain. Was God only thinking of Oxen when he said this?”

Open Commentary
I personally wish to share the joy and hapiness, with the sheer heights of spiritual freedom i find ion my life, i feel compeled to be open and caring. But there are obvious limitations in life and social circumstance. It is actually possible to drive someone from their homes into a foreign or far away country. Thats what happen to the Jewish peoples after the contemporary diaspora but also throughout bible times. Once you leave the country of your birth, its possible tp become isolated and easy pickings by persons, who’d replaced you open expression of joy and happiness as objectionable. Hence MOses being raised to save the Israelites from Egypt. Its an easy human quality, to restrict the ability to share joy and happiness. We can be grumpy pants but each day we actively choose not to give it power. Not sharing joy and happiness with others actually probably means top the limitation of a humans ability to grasp the ability to convey ideas and conceptions. You live in a culture where that happens. Thats scary.

The bible reads all the advantages of spiritual growth, such as, peace, pateance, kindness, self control, love and compassion.

There are situations that should have never developed around us today. Paul who was Saul, became the person to show the way, out of the sticky situations. It worked too.
THe beauty of this passage in 1 Corinthians 9:8-10 is the metahor used. My favourite metaphor is dealing with situtaions in a metaphorical way too.

When sharing joy and happiness, of ones own life, that is that an ox must be allowed to eat whiklst working, is another metaphor onto of this one. Like the ox is a river. Dont stop the flow of a river, but and dig around it to capture it, and guide it through turbines to power heaters and cooking applicances in homes for a entire country. Now thats exactly why people go to bible school and even university in general, to study important matters, because all human acrtions in society add up.
So join me as i have faith that, like a river, no one remembers a twig or a leaf as it flows by, much like the good in our lives outweights the bad. But the river of life, and its lunar flow and of rising and lowering tides, where can simple drift to either direction…
I have faith like the ox and like the river.
THe good outweight the bad in my life.
Because alot of what happens, is being that we are prodcuts of our environments, and have little freewill in many matters.
THerefore after this article essay, lets lead ourselves towards christs words when he said forgive your neighbour not 7 times but 77 times, and when he said not to judge, and he said look at the sparrow bird in all it godly wonder and beauty. Christ came and connected people to the world around them. He lead the core driving point, that simply, people are product of our environments. Mary Magadeline wasent a prostitute. She was a slave and had no choice. People who werent Jewish at those times, werent any different that Gods people in Israel, because in the Psalms its reads that God took Israel as a light to the world to save it.
Here is a test of the human minds perception and with catch out people.
Have you spent one hour in a volunteer group in the past week? Yes or No. If yes good. You’ll understand every letter of my article. If you havent, or perhaps never have, you’ll never be freind with me. Probably forever, because you heart is heavy and harder than a stone.
Islam and Christianity has alot of work to do, in order to provide a faith in God as preferable. The new testament containing Pauls letters did alot to create the universal church, of which today, a straight line can be drawn between a spiritual faith and scientific lifestyles and ways of life. Personally i believe, that because of Paul who was Saul, we have computers because of his work many years ago.
Look at the stark numbers.
6 billion people. 2 billion of christian and islamic. That make Abraham faith approach to god as a 1/3 minority. Plus english spekaing countries have lower birth rates. So therefore this really do look shaky..

It seems any person who presents these arguments and discussions are defamed and maglined into being placed under certain black mail, or restraint of liberties.
But the liberty of expression, is exactly what Paul stood for.
He wrote loving and compassionate letter after letter after letter.
Paul saved the world, saved the church, which then, the church eventually backed sciencetific discoveries, until the present day…. look at the marvels we have now! Smart phone and smart TVS. Even electric cars. Now that cool.

But like the ox dilemma, will people as myself be restrainted, even as Paul says dont restraint the ox when it treads the grain.
The day people are jailled for being too happy or too overjoyed.
Now thats a shakey day indeed.
If that happens, people got to read Plato, to comprehend His cosmology and Plato journey for shape, form, beauty, meaning, and purpose.
I hear that Plato was muched loved and lived a long life too!

Thanks for joining me!
