Well how is everyone this Xmas eve! I have deceided to make a special post entry for Xmas eve and maybe the "bigga bigga bossa upadera" will remember my xmas wish this season and deliver...I know it's a long shot request and little old me from Torontaaaaaaaaa maybe a dreamer ....but at least I'am crying to the heavens and actually requesting this !
Hmmmmm...a lot of people may say I'am a nutcase for wanting my first Xmas wish.. peace on earth and good will to men..hey...Isn't that overdone and oversaid?...My apologies...it's more oversaid then overdone!...Wouldn't you like to have over cooked eggs then nothing at all? Especially when you are really hungry or starving? Am I starving?....Well if you take a look at my spare tire in the mid range section you would think I was feasting on steak and eggs, and a whole lot of pastries in between... 7 days a week! The truth is: Yesssssssss Iam overweight!... and for my Second Xmas wish ...Let the bigga bigga bossa give us the strength to avoid those very tasty Nacho ranch style chips and all those other junk comfort foods we eat maybe 5 or 6 times a week! They taste oh soooooooooooooo good and god knows how the mind works when our taste buds do a number on our blood sugar rating! Those crispy tasting chips and the assorted donuts and double creme double sugar coffees run through us like a runaway freight train taking no prisoners as it races down the hectic track of life.
Well Mr. verifiedbeliever the dreamer is at it again huh..wanting this and or dreaming that...Trouble is there are not enough dreamers in this world and if you dream long and hard enough and take action on your dreams one day..they will appear as a manifestation of the iron will ...So dream on folks and let's start our xmas wish list or to be more specific our dream list and let's twist the bigga bigga bossa's arm into making your wildest dreams come true!
Well what's third on our list? Hmmmmmm let me see: Let's talk about those light bodied fluffy things that seem to be on earth and sent by Heaven inc: We call them angels and for some unknown reason we all think they are magical and those TV programs seem to have brainwashed our minds into thinking they are here on a mission and in some cases act like guides to the other world when death may be approaching to any one of us.Well it would be nice to think that life is a magical fairytale or even just a dream but cold reality sets in and to think that another dimension is here on earth is really wishfull thinking.In some ways we really have not grown up and as kids we have inprinted our minds with numerous pictures of angels with wings and that they can actually fly around without us knowing about it! Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if they actually existed? Would I want them to? Well to be honest, I tend to low ball life in order play it safe. My idea of life is to play it safe and low ball everything that may happen to me after this life ends.The best way is to be the best you can possibly be and be kind and loving to everyone while serving people or helping them. My best gift from the creator is my life. A lot of people have received this precious gift of life but have not opened the box yet and have not used the gift...The creator has given each one of us many gifts and it's up to us to use them. For example:Some may like to build things and if your dad gave you a carpenter's tool kit for xmas and you fail to use it to build things then you are not using the gifts bestowed upon you. Such is life: I was given the gift of gab(being very modest) and that's why Iam writing today...It really doesn't matter if nobody pays me to write but if I can help just one person with my advice then I'am using the gift the creator has given me as best as I could. It only takes one person to benefit from your actions and if you initiate good deeds and help someone then you are not exactly a couch potato are you????? (hehehehe)
Angels yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa angels.....Maybe the word should be angles...an angle is a perceptive reactionary solution to a problem...Such as going to the race track and devising angles which can be beneficial to the handicapping process. Angels could be the angle humanity invented so that we don't have to do the work angels could do...Such as: Serve humanity and act in angelic ways which demonstrates love ,patience, kindness and spiritual enthusisam. It's an exuse not to do those things because self interest or image building is the silver lining rather then something deeper and more meaningful...Greed, and self interest is what power mongers do so they can reap the world's harvest while the poor and meek of this earth suffer...Truth is, and bear with me as I'am sorry I ruined your own little fairy tale here but I have been taking reality pills lately and I firmly believe that angels can be created within our minds if the desire and the faith is there to be exalted to that spiritual status...NO ....the creator will not exalt you to a higher level! ...You have to have the desire and determination to be exalted on your own behalf!All we have to do is flick the right switch and all of a sudden you suddenly become that angel everyone dreams of meeting...To be extremely kind and humble is a rare human quality and to have those qualities seems out of this world...Mother Teresa had those qualities as does a lot of people...however rare ...but we seldom call them angels...but that's what they are.This reminds me of a little story I read in the Toronto sun the other day... A couple drives their SUV on the Don valley parkway and all of a sudden they have engine trouble and their vehicle starts to burn and all of those xmas presents destroyed! Luckily they escaped in time! But a passerby comes along sees their dilemma and hands them $400 in cash to compensate them for their loss....and then does not even wait for a thank you and vanishes!....The couple thinks this mystery person is an angel sent from god ....but cold reality and truth says otherwise.This mystery person had highly developed spiritual qualities.Such as: the wish to be anonoyomous and humble...For him to wait for a thank you would have lifted his ego ...and the ego is something that highly developed spiritual people would like to suppress..So there you have it folks! Very good people are the gifts of this world sent by people who have chosen to be that way!...If you continue to act good and take every opportunity to be this way then you have become the person everyone wonders about ...If you feel really good doing good deeds then that could be your calling in life and only you can exalt yourself to a higher spiritual level!
Enough of angels! Now that we have a clearer picture of gifts in a spiritual sense what will you get for xmas? Are you into the materialistic things of this world? A new car from a rich daddy? Maybe a a stock option from the company you work for? It all depends what you value most!Madonna said it eloquently in her song Material girl...she is a material girl in a material world!
Love is a really hard sell for someone who cheats and lies his way to the top of the corporate ladder...How about the simple gift of faith? Is it powerful? Well is the pope catholic?! Hehehe! You bet it's powerful! It is the greatest gift bestowed on mankind since creation! Why? Well....Faith is the engine of good deeds! The idea that goodness, kindness, patience and unconditional love are spiritual assets ready to be converted to its real value is what drives mankind to be this way...One must believe in universal laws in order to understand this universe...that cause and effect is the result of action...If one constantly thinks about evil thoughts....then one day he will manifest those thoughts into reality by killing someone, robbing that bank, raping a woman, or breaking into a rich home or two!...The tendency to manifest what we think about is human nature and if one is dirt poor and living in a neighbourhood where drugs are sold then the mind by nature could be attracted to drugs as a business...and drug dealing is the result...On the other side of the coin...we could be attracted to the power which radiates from kindness, and love..If you can see the vulnerable side of humanity and all its weaknesses then you can be the spiritual powerhouse that rescues humanity from the clutches of poverty and despair!...Faith is what motivates a person to combat poverty...As a result:There are numerous drop in centres within the Toronto area which provide meals , shelter, AAA services, and employment supports...The good within humanity is alive and well and to view the world as all evil is not doing justice to the potential of man.Those people who start up those organizations do so because they have chosen to do more good in this world rather then promote their own self interest and their lifestyle. So let us all view people as gifts...for it is the nature of the mind that is truly the ultimate gift...
Faith can be the engine of change in the coming new year and let us all subscribe to this idea...To be spiritually powerful is to really love someone unconditionally without bias as to age religion or status...For the greatest of all gifts is the ability to love not by words or lip service but by deeds ....and let us all put up that xmas tree we cannot see and under it put kindess, love, compassion for others, patience, and that big box to the left...which is Faith...and don't forget to open the boxes....what good are gifts if they r not opened and utililized....
How about one really wierd gift which seems to mystify mankind! How about Truth! Well Truth is in a box on the otherside of the Xmas tree you cannot see and there are so many people who lack the patience to open that box. If and when they attempt to do that they finally realize that the truth they were looking for is in another box and when they open that box another one appears...It's as if the universe is playing a cruel joke on life.But as I live this life it tends to be more of a mystery to me and that's exactly how I want it to be...Its a lot of fun to learn and to be honest we cannot learn everything there is to know in one lifetime. Can we? Such questions people in seeking the truth are: Who created God? Will mankind be visited by aliens? Or was JC an alien? There are many manifestations of the spirit but is a spirit a life form? Is your head spinning like a top yet? Hehehehe... Well mine is! Let's get off this merry-go-round and just live our lives as John Lennon once said: "I'am just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round... "I just love to watch them roll!
There you have it folks! Maybe Iam starting to sound like a preacher or someone who loves to preach but xmas eve has done a number on me today and most of the time I feel free as the wind and xmas puts everything in perspective...Now get those sweet tasting chestnuts and start roasting them on the stove!.While that mistle-toe swings to the beat of your slippers as two lips find each other in the spirit of Xmas!
The new robot guitar by Gibson is tugging at my purse strings...hmmmmmm... Shall I buy it or forget it?....Well I guess the one I have now will have to do...all I have to do is accept it as a tool and the temptation of buying into the materialistic trap will be subdued graciously! (hehehe)
May you all have peace and love in your hearts! Merry x-mas and leap into the new year with fun in your hearts...for life is one big adventure!!!! Stay tuned for the verifiedbeliever's next entry! Love yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
