“Avoid Evil” Blog #55
The definition of Evil: “Profound immorality and wickedness, especially when regarded as a supernatural force, or as in peoples actions, harmful or undesirable…”
Are violent/horror movies ok to watch? (dark energy into the atmosphere around)
Dark, rap music a good thing to listen to? (more dark energy into the mind)
Whats wrong with getting high or smoking weed? (giving up our free will to evil)
Any or all of the above can affect the way you look and live and see your life daily.
There was a wonderful article written about the extreme affects of alcohol on a person
who eventually becomes an alcoholic. A renowned metaphysical doctor said that he
walked into a bar late one night to meet a friend. He did not drink himself and was
a very evolved person. At any rate, he shared how he stood in the packed bar and
noticed one man in particular, who was very drunk. He watched awhile longer and
witnessed this man drink to the point of oblivion. He now was ready to pass out. At
this point, the doctor believed that the man had given up “his free will”. He was no
longer in control of what was happening to him. The next thing the doctor witnessed
was quite unbelievable. He said because he felt he was so evolved, he was able to
see and feel things alot of people are not able to do.
“He saw a reddish dark evil energy penetrate into the top of the mans head” just as
surely as night becomes day. Now you or I may say to ourselves, that is simply
absurd! Yet, what if its not? What if when people drink too much or take drugs and they
then unconsciously give up their “Free Will? Have you ever heard the saying, “The devil
made me do it?” I know I have shared something out of the norm, yet who really knows
for sure? Why DO people do things, mean, cruel, violent…that they regret later? So often
people say in a drug or drunken stupor that they have no idea what they were doing.
They were living in a “total black out”. What a careless, callous, cruel way to live ones life.
Every one of us know some kind of event or story or reason, why we think and believe
the way that we do. This makes up our belief system.
At all costs, its important to insulate, protect and keep sacred the human spirit.
The body is truly the Temple of God. Every day we can become stronger internally.
We have the means to do this. Our mind can think whatever we want it to. Find good
things to learn about every day. If you have children, keep them OFF of social media on
the Internet. This is way too dangerous, period. “THE AVERAGE PARENT SPENDS 3.5
MINUTES A WEEK INTERACTING WITH THEIR CHILDREN” (Raising Healthy Teenagers”)
Yesterday I read about Senators Blumenthal and Blackburn unveiling a Bill called “Kids
Online Safety Act” keeping children off internet until age 18. “We have no idea just how
dangerous the Internet is”, they stated. “It is gut wrenching”.
So there is a myriad of reasons why my Christian Faith makes me feel secure. I just
outlined the “way the world is working now and most of it is saturated in darkness. It is
not necessary to have a discussion about whether or not Evil exists. Just turn on the
radio at any time of your day. Yesterday, Michigan University on a Sunday night had
three students gunned down, with more wounded in the hospital and the man who did
it killed himself. “Drug overdoses have reached record high with teen deaths in the
United States using Marajuana laced with Fetanyl and synthetic opioids reachng
unprecedented levels…/CNN 23”
“Non religious population now makes up half of the USA”. (Pew Research”19) Wilkinson &
Finkreiner, state “Every 42 seconds there is a divorce in America”. Definitely there are
more people just living together than getting married, its easier, but does it feel like
“the right thing to be doing?” Yet, does any of it matter anyway? When do or did
we decide to throw away “our moral compass?”
Perhaps people find that its easier to sit and stare at the the computer in darkness.
Why “turn the light on in our life, is it just too uncomfortable?”
For many of us, there are internal lies that begin to appear like the drip of a faucet.
Let’s take Social Media. So much a part of our day. It is now so prevalent and so much
an accepted part of our daily life that (TRT World) states: “ The average person spends 9 - 10 hours a day on social media”. Kids are getting into Snap Chat feeds and
interacting with bullies. Average age of smart phones to kids is 10 years old. Kids are
becoming incredibly depressed from Social Media.!
What ARE they taking in? What ARE we watching? What changes our beliefs? What
especially are “young people” seeing, absorbing, and believing?”
The American Journal of Public Health just posed: “There is increasing evidence that
the Internet and Social Media influences (teen) suicide and suicide related behavior”.
”Self Harm posts are surging on Twitter” ….and Teen suicide especially in teen GIRLS has
skyrocketed……” There is a post that is called the “art of seduction” read by little kids!
In “USA Today: “Three quarters of all teens have watched pornography on the internet”.
After all these statistics, where does Good versus Evil sit? It’s there but we need to look.
More and more parents are using the Internet as a babysitter for their children. More
and more people are addicted to harmful sites on the internet and unable to stop.
I remember when the Apple computer came out and I got an Apple iPhone. One night I
sat in the dark and was looking at the front of my phone, I suddenly became aware of
the apple on the front of my computer with a “bite out of the apple”.
For the first time, this reminded me of Satan tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden with the
apple, coincidence? The way things are headed, I don’t really think so. I have talked
about these things to bring you new awareness. It’s important to have an
understanding of the world we live in now and if you read my Blog, why I write about the
things I do.
In a few simple words, My Christian Faith IS my insurance policy for my life. I can’t
imagine living life without it. Waking up in the morning, I need to believe in HIM.
Throughout the day, I need to feel protected and when I go to sleep, I pray to forgive.
We are tested in different ways, this is the only “marker” for our internal growth, our faith.
The world is so complicated with billions of people, historic and profound inventions.
Does it make sense to believe all of life is for naught? All goes up in a puff of smoke!!
Nothing left, not even our soul? Absolutely not! Our soul lives on after death we go
home. The real truth exists by simply looking around. In the vast universe, Love and
beauty and goodness prevail. IF they did not, we could not survive a moment longer.
Hope would most certainly die. Billions of people who believe, would believe in vain.
So we must believe. Gods Son came to show us HIS Good.
HIS TRUTH replaces the lie. HIS LOVE replaces the hate. HIS LIGHT replaces the dark.
At all costs, .avoid evil. The real definition of EVIL, Living backwards!
Spell it forwards: it spells L I V E. We are born into the world to use a Higher Nature.
To understand we have two natures: Why do we have two natures? This is
because we are given FREE WILL. We are allowed to decide for ourself in everything.
So we have a “lower self nature” and a “higher self nature”. This is the good part.
In my body where I live, this is how I think; “ I choose to have a positive, higher self
attitude every day. I exercise and walk. I have good nutrition, I drink one-half my body
weight in water daily. Minimum; 4 bottles of water. (I understand that sugar
compromises the immune system and brings in disease) I study and I read and I say
affirmations. I choose to only attract loving, healthy people into my world”.
Inside our conscience mind IS truth. The Devine Light is within us all. It is waiting to
connect. Remember: we have Free Will. We are asked now, to invite the Holy Spirit into
our life. Each one of us must be brave, decide to discipline with good habits daily. Now
I leave you with GOOD NEWS. Today I heard that Asbury University in Kentucky is on its
10th Day of a Marathon Church Service. People from all over the county have been just
showing up, witnessing and telling their story of healing. Nobody knows how it started
happening? AND the number one book still selling in the county today: the Bible.
I leave you with the little prayer I like to say daily:
Serenity Prayer:
“God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can -
and the Wisdom to know the difference”
“Can you ask for Higher Self clarity today?”
