COMMON SENSE 101
Saturday 16 August 2008

    No matter your age, common sense applied is very useful and profitable in so many ways as we grow older.
    From your unique experiences, both current and past lives, you draw opinions that control your behaviour day to day.
    Some young persons, and some old, rush through life to acquire as many personal experiences as possible. In so doing, without good role models, they risk serious accidents, even an early death.
    So a word to the wise is prudent. And of your own free will, choose.
    You can acquire knowledge, experience, wisdom from courses in schools. Also from teachings from parents and other role models. From your personal research through library research, personal research interviews of other people, reflection, inspiration, etc.
    I tell people they do not have to believe as I believe, and that I take no offense. And if they are wise, they can listen or read what I have to say, reflect, and then make up their own minds. That is called free will.
   There are many influences active upon you daily 24/7. Such influences include advertising in many forms, Peer influences., etc. And hormones.
    I find from my experience in watching television... that the negative harmful influence on the attitudes and subsequent behavour of children and adults is very real. The "role models" are often people doing criminal acts. There is a real dire need for more positive role models in television, books, radio, movies, etc.
   Be wise and learn to control your hormones at an early age. When out of control because of the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other mind bending influences... you risk criminal behaviour, a ruined life, time behind bars, mental breakdown, financial loss, frustrated love, divorce, and all sorts of negative things.
    One group of hormones is responsible for sexual feelings, and such feelings out of control can put you in jail, and worst. Thus understand with some people the brain between their legs is bigger than the brain above their eyes. And have the wisdom to know the difference, and avoid those males or females with the larger brains between their legs. They spell trouble.
    Have you asked yourself "Why am I here?"
    Or "What is my purpose in life?"
    If you asked me those questions, I might reply "To gain experience for your soul in its pathway through eternity." That is, your body goes to dust after physical death, but normally your soul which is composed of light, goes into spirit form for further reincarnations in your journeys. The most valuable things you own is your soul, so be prudent and invest in it every day.
    Do you ever encounter situations in which you have no prior earthly experience? And yet you know just what to do to cope with the situation? I believe that is because your subconscious mind is drawing upon your prior life experiences through what is called far memory. I have done this many times. And others I meet have too.
    It is my understanding, and my belief, that you choose your parents before you are conceived. And you have sound advice from the other side on the value of your choice in building positive karma in your pathway through eternity.
    Now for another warning. There are people who will say and do anything to achieve their objectives regardless of the consequences. Be very careful. They can cost you much heartache and worst.  There is a common wise expression that goes something like this: "If it sounds too good to be true, it is very likely NOT true!" So learn how to discern what is true and what is not true. As you learn to go within to the deep well of wisdom that resides in your soul... you will have excellent guidance. It is worth the effort.
    From time to time I have met people who are liars, very dishonest, crooks, evil, etc. and they can be in all walks of life. They have cost me lots of money, pain, suffering, etc. Learn to read body language. Also listen to the tone of their voice and learn to discern when they are telling a lie. Some confidence people are so good that they believe their own lies... so maybe you should do some very good reference checking when you are encountering a major investment of your time and money.
    My physical age at the time of this writing is 79. And I have had lots of experiences that I can share. As I have said previously, you do not have to believe as I do, I take no offense. But be wise and read and discern. Discernment is a great gift.
    So what is my purpose in life? One of my main purposes in living in the physical is to reach out to my spiritual brothers and sisters of all ages and help them make direct two way communication with the greatest of all goodness. When that is done, my task with them is done. However with free will, some go this way and that way. Such is life.
    As you read other items on my web site, or any of my publications, you will encounter information that you may have a very difficult time accepting or believing. At that time discernment on your part is prudent. I strive to provide wisdom, truth, guidance in my writings. However I do have a sense of humour at times which should be very obvious upon reflection.
    Peace, love, light, healing, hugs and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
