righteousness: FEED the SOUL (R U forgetting?) SPIRITUAL - 10/25/25 07:03 AM
You wake-up every morning, visit with the mirror or another who is present, you see yourself & they see you, & then all go their own ways after some prep work & the day begins as usual. During the day, the same & as we approach the end of our day, where the pillow beckons, rest awaits & we answer that call, STOP! right there. Inside of you is a spirit that the body cannot live without. It is the real you not the mirror or what others see. It was with you wherever you went, never leaving you or forsaking … (1 comments)

righteousness: LIVE SPELLED BACKWARDS (don't go there) - 10/05/25 08:10 AM
We are not at liberty to help ourselves to everything & anything yet we are invited to do so & it is even sometimes necessary & for a purpose too. However, HOW you go about this allowed process is extremely important & if done incorrectly, can lead to your death. Both the laws of the earthly journey & of the spiritual realms have rules that must be obeyed willingly & for the right reasons. Fail here & you will bring suffering needlessly upon yourself. Life is not mocked
MESSAGE IS CONSISTANT
All throughout mankind's history, the how you go about anything visits with … (2 comments)

righteousness: DOING NOTHING CORRECTLY (spiritual post) - 07/21/25 06:41 AM
One of the Universal Laws is as follows: "if you do nothing right, you will do nothing wrong" & works in close connection to the conscience which activates if wrong choices are presented or acted upon. It is an automatic reminder to "stop", assess, & do not do again with remorse thrown in. If the conscience is silent, then you are doing nothing correctly. However, it doesn't mean you have arrived, that there is no more to do or that you are living life with gusto instead of existing. NO. There are no formulas for living life but instead, numerous tools … (2 comments)

righteousness: PAYBACK PAYS YOU BACK! - 07/05/25 11:32 AM
Payback is part of the human experience, but it shouldn't be, but it is, nevertheless. One thinks it more than they care to acknowledge & there is something about seeing a wrong righted or a comeuppance meet up with a worthy subject, but this has to be done correctly less what we do, is done to us. Wrongs have to be righted. Justice is the measure. Let's explore
take that & that
NO ONE LIKES THIS
Tit for tat? Where are we going with this? The person who has been injured or slighted didn't like it at all thus it brought out temptation feeling … (6 comments)

righteousness: RE-SENT-MENT (wrong-judgment) STOP THIS! - 07/05/25 11:21 AM
Resentment broken down in word form: RE which is to return or again, SENT which is to address, & MENT which is the result of an action. When these three are joined together, they form a collective meaning.  You get a meaning or intent to make a specific point i.e. a negative energy directed to someone for your personal reasons. We now know a little bit more about resentment that visits with everyone. WE send it, or WE receive it. DON'T DO THIS! This word is like a gun in that it can be used to harm people. Disarm yourself & … (2 comments)

righteousness: COST of DISHONESTY? (poverty of spirit) - 06/07/25 07:11 AM
 All of us come into the world unspoiled, innocent and full of wonder and awe, then along the way, something happens. We start to learn that there are many ways to choose to live in this world and we develop a system or a series of personal beliefs to live by. Some of us, miscalculate (ignorance) & stray to the left or right & don't come back thus becoming casualties of their personal temptations
The Devil and Daniel Webster proves 
Lying, cheating & stealing works. Think about this. It works because people wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't. But what you don't … (0 comments)

righteousness: JUDGING EACH OTHER (righteously) - 05/26/25 11:51 AM
We forget that if we see an error or wrong being committed, something out of line, perhaps unfair or even harmful, we have the ability & the right to call it out, expose it & address it. Called righteous judgment, we have to do so. Wrongness anywhere & in anybody gets a turn to rear its head, but must answer to the right way, which we are stewards of. Fail to speak up, get involved, take a stand & risk involvement, you get the wrong becoming wronger & stronger. Then I ask: why are you here if not to take a … (2 comments)

righteousness: REMEMBER ME? I'M YOUR CONSCIENCE - 05/25/25 03:06 PM
What is it with you of late? I have had to prompt up more than usual, & I am wondering if you are paying attention to all this attention, I AM GIVING YOU. You summoned me, I didn't summon you. If you want to argue this point, you make my case. If you accept this visit from me to you, perhaps you can learn why we are talking & take it down a notch or two. Eventually, I would like to stop having these constant get-togethers unless you keep needing me too. Get control of yourself. Where is your common sense?
WORTHY … (3 comments)

righteousness: CLEAR THINKING (sound mind) GIFT - 05/11/25 08:22 AM
Your right mind is made up of a clear conscience, no guilt, logic, reason, common sense & a little help from the spiritual world called intuition (knowing), all supporting your decision to take an action to achieve a specific result. Doubt this? Reverse it to test it. Take away all of the above or pervert it, & what do you end up with? Reality proves the point. All we have to do is be appreciative & wield this magnificent gifting of a sound mind, using it to do great things for ourselves & others
WORTHY NOTE: Your existence is a gift & … (3 comments)

righteousness: WORDS of WISDOM (be mine & thine) LIFE POST - 05/06/25 11:22 AM
Without the asking, all of us are given gifts for use on & in our earthly journey. Hidden within us, it is up to YOU to seek & let them out so they may go to work for you. If successful, your gifts (skills bank) help you earn your living, portion & fulfillments. Failure to mine & mind your own business (growth) is the beginning of all your woes & ohs. 
thank-tank
time-out to thank
WORTHY NOTE: Pause & consider: the body is a shell, a vessel containing the spirit called you, breathed into you by God. The body stays here. You go on. … (3 comments)

righteousness: PAIN FROM SELF-ASSESSMENT? (growth food) - 04/28/25 11:16 AM
The pain or discomfort I speak about in the posting title is discovering either for yourself, or from being told (true or not) something about you that is disturbing, painful, embarrassing & humiliating too. It is so obvious that it interferes with our moment & making it even worse is when we start thinking if anyone else knows. I ask you, how will we be rid, corrected & cured if not first identified with the need to do so?
WORTHY NOTE: Short-term pain is automatic with personal growth. 
this too shall pass

righteousness: CHEAT-STEAL-LIE (U lose more than U win) - 04/23/25 12:57 PM
You have seen them up close, read & hear about them, their works or fame, in the courts, on the news or in person, people who do whatever it takes to prevail, win & come out ahead, for whatever reason. Their ends justify their means. You do not count in their world unless they use/abuse you as a steppingstone to their "got to have" gain no matter what, whom or why. Cold & calculating with a smile
THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE "IT"
Like the terminator, who is relentless, possesses no reason or love, it will not stop until it carries out its … (3 comments)

righteousness: EGO & PRIDE FEAST? (spirit starves) SPIRITUAL POST - 04/15/25 10:55 AM
Less we think that mankind has all the answers please refer to our history. The cruelty that man inflicts on his fellow man (& the world) is no longer a paradox. We can now explain why we do it. Having a reason is part of our problem. This problem we inherited a long time ago i.e. THE EGO and its protector PRIDE, who have carved out a place & is holding it. Woe unto us
THE PLAYERS
EGO: A false Godlike entity that is invisible but very voluntarily active in the known world via its actions and results. It fears heavenly light, truth, … (4 comments)

righteousness: IS YOUR PAST in the PRESENT? (theft of life) - 01/28/25 06:26 AM
Everyone wants to be well off and successful. In America & in your life, you can put legs on your dreams allowing them to become a reality. How fantastic is that? Take note however of what is traveling with you. Is the desire to live a healthy one or a response to some trauma you grew up with?
WORTHY NOTE: You may succeed or accomplish but is there is no joy or satisfaction? This should tell you to pause & inquire
SHOCK, RESENTMENT, AND TRAUMA
People who suffered as children when growing up often resented or were traumatized by incidents that caused them shock, … (3 comments)

righteousness: LIFE for LIFE (that's the deal) - 01/27/25 07:20 AM
Imagine you were a worthless blob or inanimate object and one day something or someone gives you an instant temporary awareness and says the following: I have a proposition for you. I will give you a short-term awareness, a reality and a consciousness a life, but in return, you must pay the price that comes with it
THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY
The price that comes with having life is to LIVE it correctly. That's right. You would be asked to adventure, journey, risk, investigate, seek out, yearn and inquire all that comes to you, against you or for you using all … (0 comments)

righteousness: CHARACTER: don't live without this (spiritual) - 11/15/24 06:43 AM
How important is breathing? The beating of your heart? The ability to get up and go? Character missing on any human being is not a pretty sight to behold or experience. If we were to learn one thing in this brief journey here on earth, let it be on how to live correctly and not just exist but be an example of something higher at work. Character is that highness
STOP THIS LEAK
When someone is missing virtue (s), it is noticeable and obvious. Why? Because mankind is complex in nature but in action, a simple, living example of greatness and achievement … (3 comments)

righteousness: TELLING SOMEONE OFF (the right way) - 11/09/24 09:44 AM
But why would you want too? How will your speaking up make a difference to the situation? Will it help or hinder?  Most of the time, we have selfish driven motives. Beware too, of foot in mouth dis-ease. If beneficial, & you have something to say to someone, say it. You don't need to have a reason, and you definitely do not want to be motivated by anger either. Just say it as UN-emotional as possible
EMPHASIS ON "HOW"
You see, how you speak up says a lot about YOU. If done correctly, people will listen to what you have to say. You … (7 comments)

righteousness: YOUR LEARNING CURVE IS PERSONAL (ponder) - 10/30/24 07:02 AM
Has anyone ever been here on earth before? GOOD. Because we all are on one giant never ending learning curve about subjects with no end. Each one travels on their personal highway dealing with their issues and no two people travel the same. AMAZING. The learning curve is interesting as it not only teaches you about the subject matter, it also teaches you about YOU...who you are and who you are not too
SOMETHING NEW...SOMETHING OLD
Many things over the years and even through this day have been introduced to me so that I can respond back. I have come to … (5 comments)

righteousness: PRECIOUS FREE GIFT (you already have) - 10/17/24 01:59 PM
This is an accurate statement in regard to something we all have but use differently. The CONSCIENCE is what I am speaking about. Oh, we all have one but what you do with it is an very interesting point. You see even that is simplified. You can only do TWO things with it. 
ONLY TWO THINGS?
Wow...in many retail arenas that is not a good sell or compelling reason. Your product only does two things? By contrast look at the Swiss army knife. Some of them do as much as 100 things. Even your toothpaste protects against several things. But you see this … (1 comments)

righteousness: WHAT DO YOU WANT? (spiritual mystery) - 10/12/24 11:17 AM
The mind is quick to answer the post title, but we are not interested in thinking compliance but instead fulfillment for our heart's desires. We know to come and go, finish what we start and to nourish ourselves. The body, your thoughts and the necessaries make themselves known. What I am asking is: what do YOU want. That unique one of a kind called YOU really want. Ask, & it will be given
HAVING YOUR WAY
When one has their way, it is no different than another having their way when it comes to food, shelter, clothing & the common necessities or privileges … (1 comments)
