What keeps us from actualizing our potential? 

                                                Lots of Things...

                               Can we learn to use the natural gifts 

                                    that are granted to each of us 

                                 by the mere fact of our existence?

                The way you perceive things, events, factors, has to be based upon a personal structure of events: or one must have transcended, at least Spiritually, the environment. In which case there has to be a perceptual knowledge of the environment in which the Spirit finds "itself ." 

            Education of Being is when a person knows this transcendence. Spiritual Beingness must transcend and give back. The Priesthood is the Beingness giving back and Being-in-the-World as an existential factor.

                                                        Clearing Yourself

                                  When someone is not content in the 'Environment'

                                               Then one should change it.

                        Either by doing their share or by excusing themselves from the situation.

                                   Remember Environment takes into consideration 

                                                      EVERY factor.

                                          Then is every factor contributing

                                                  or, what is their input?

                                    Do a list of good or not for each person,

                                                   for each factor;

                                                    1 - 100 - 1000 ?

                                    Then do a list of your"Self," realistically.

                                                            - - -

                                   Enviornments are a blend of many factors

                                          Economic - Social - Cultural 

                                Every Enviornment has factors and you are 

                                        one factor in everything you see,

                                  You thought that it was only your world?

  

     We are able to express our understandings in a language (words) which does not contain many Being-in-the-world terms except by hyphenating them to imply a state of existence within yet beyond the constructs of everyday language. Other groups, languages do have these distinctions. We are able to do this because one's internal comprehension isn't only tied to conceptual structures of existence but to the perceptual as well.

     Perceptual awareness is the first thing all of us enter into. Watch babies as they grow. Words have been looked upon as the development of a higher state of the growth process. "Baby said a word!" Everybody feels good about this. But the spirit is beginning to express itself to others who are perceived in the immediate environment. It is an expression of the comprehension of a multifaceted input perceived by its Beingness. 

    Beyond and before words, Spirit existed and began it's voyage through time and Space.

   What will I leave behind?

      Nothing, because the concept 

                of "behind"

         could be a false consideration

    Since everything that was and 

        still is in some form 

         has at its constant a

           sense of now-ness,

             both then and now,

    So how can I say

     What I've left behind 

       because seen or not seen,

        all things in existence

          are

           Somewhere, someplace,

             Here

               Now

But I think we share something, a sense of Being

              "This may truly be the beginning of the end" I thought.

               Robert sat there, dejected and resolute. Lost in time, out of space. "That's why I came here. Now I realize the fruitlessness of the whole thing....for a time here, I thought I was safe. and things looked different." Robert looked at me,  the energy gone into dullness

               I sat back. I've got to admit that I felt like the fly swatter had hit us...splattered in all directions. I felt the anguish and the existential void.

             I had to fight hard here and remember the moments gone by, especially the touching of that sacred energy. My personal energy was coming back. I had to remember that I was just passing through and I too was only here by the Creator's gift of life. All this stuff Robert had told me still had a hold on me, for my imagery of the situation had been inductive. Now I had regained my composure but I knew that Robert had spoken the 'truth'. Now I had to let 'the Elder' answer this. 'The Elder'...I felt my strength come back.. Robert was still sitting there, scanning his systems for a glimmer of hope.

        "Robert," I said. He looked up, energy gone. "You know the truth of events up till now which I didn't know but somehow, I'm not surprised. I must tell you that whatever 'the Elder' says I'm bound by...but I will tell you this, that when people come to me about external realizations and they hope to get even or make changes with and to the external world, all I can tell them is ya'll see the truth, why do you continue to bitch about the way things are. The 'What-is" of a situation opens doors to clarity. The bitching or complaining continually to others breeds no solutions. So, let's see what 'the Elder' says. Thank you for dealing the truth to me. As a race of people, we've been there before. 'The Elder' will have access to these understandings. I certainly appreciate it. Why don't we enjoy the pipe and sleep on it? I know you're tired and 'the Elder' will send for us...if he don't just show up."

     To my surprise, Robert laid back and pulled the blanket over himself. "I think I will rest a bit."he said.

      I got up and punched around in the fire and sat on the warm hearth."She olie!" I thought

We all have so much in common

Except the ability to see

That life is meant for all of us

So there will be an Earth 

for future I's and me's
