School Starts Sept. 1

Pouring down like Golden Honey

Across the Evening Sky
the Light is slowly leaving,
pouring down like golden Honey,
with Beauty aglow
as we fall in Love
Believing,
but never truly knowing
if we are dreaming.

‘Til every thread Is torn.

Our Lives
we Live in such hues,
as if what is revealed
is real,
until every thread
is torn
from the Fabric of Life and Living,
in the Tapestry of
our minds
surreal.

So much of what we know
as Life,
is not really Living
at all.
But in the brevity of our Being,
in so Believing,
Blessings abound.

Infinitely Loving Brushstrokes,
with Beauty far beyond
what we can behold,
flung against the Canvass
of the Evening Skies,
reminded us
that the Love of God
opens our Hearts,
as we open our eyes.

Poets and Writers of Song
have always known,
always felt deeply,
our Hearts need to be
Courageous and Free.
Though we may be made blind
by illusions so bold
they appear infinite and immeasurable,
by the Grace of God
we can see.

Infinitely Loving Brushstrokes

Joni Mitchell
expresses in beautiful song:

“I’ve looked at Life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s Life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know Life
at all.”

Is it delusion to Believe
the images in our minds
are the real World?
Is it unlike
our experience of it?

The concept that reality is
only in the mind,
is found time after time after time,
In the study of Philosophy,
and in the Sciences
that remind.

Physicist
Sir Arthur Eddington notable said,
“Matter is mostly ghostly
empty space.”
To be more precise,
it is 99.9999999% empty space.

My friends,
we faint and flickering
shadows and shades
are almost non-existent.
Matter, of which we are made,
Is coming into and out of existence
Billions of times each second.

Your reality,
which includes you,
Is blinking constantly on and off at all times.
Quantum physics has left scientists
all over the world
Baffled.
Especially with the discovery
that our physical material reality,
Isn’t really physical
at all.

Our Human brain is designed
by natural experience (in order to survive),
to sense the “on” frequency.
Just as quickly,
it blinks “off,”
and everything, including you,
disappears.
However, your brain registers and connects only
the “on” segments,
and thus you have the sense
or feeling of your reality being
solid.
What quantum mechanics reveals
Is that there is NO true “physicality”
in the Universe.

We faint and flickering shadows and shades . . .

Quantum theory predicts
that every particle spends some time
as a combination of other particles
in all possible ways.
These predictions (read more)
are now very well understood and tested.
.
Yes my Friends,
we are truly ONE
with the Universe,
with each other,
with God.

“We don’t know what matter is
anymore than we know
what mind is.”
Christian de Quincy,
The Paradox of Consciousness

We have discovered in quantum physics
that even subatomic particles
are far, far from solid.
They are nothing like matter
as we think we know it.
These particles,
of which we are made,
can never be precisely measured.
And they are everywhere,
Everywhere,
In the same moment,
Until observed.

Religion incorporates transcendent, immanent
Omnipresence.
The Divine is everywhere.
The property of being present everywhere
defines a Universal and fundamental substance,
which is the source of all existence.
God is omnipresent in a way
that He is able to interact with His
Divine Creations,
with you,
Child of God.

Our physical material reality isn’t really physical at all.

“Behold,
Heaven and the Highest Heaven
cannot contain you,
how much less this house which I have built!
– 1 Kings 8:27

Plato believed
The real world
was a world of ideas
and
Eternal perfect forms.
.
Is it?

Particles are,
and we are,
Clouds of potential existence,
with no definite location.
Whatever matter is,
It has little,
If any,
Substance.

“We don’t know a millionth
of one percent
about anything.”
– Thomas Edison

Our idea of matter
as solid,
as substance,
is a quality appearing
ONLY in our consciousness.
It models what is real,
but is unlike
what is really,
or, perhaps,
NOT really,
there.

German philosopher Immanuel Kant
posited that time and space
are not inherent qualities of the physical World;
They are a reflection
of the way
our mind operates.

We are the creators of the World we experience.

And so,
We are NOT
passive experiencers of the World;
We are the Creators
of the world we experience.
We, my friends,
are Children of God,
and firmly at the center of things.
The Earth is not
at the center of the Universe,
WE are.

Human Thought Determines Reality.

“You don’t need to feel alienated
by being at the mercy of a blind material World;
YOU are the World.“
– Riccardo Manzotti

Early in the 1900’s it was proven
beyond a shadow of a doubt
with an experiment called
the double slit experiment.
Researchers found the determining factor
of the behavior of energy (particles)
at the quantum level,
is the awareness
of the observer. (read more)

Literature,
throughout the World,
of a Spiritual Nature,
proclaims that the whole world
Is within.

We are truly ONE with the Universe, with each other, with God.

The question of God’s existence
is the most important question
of Human philosophy.
One chooses either a self existent God
or a self existent Universe,
and the Universe is not behaving
as if it is self existent.
According to the second law of thermodynamics,
the Universe is running down like a clock,
cooling off like a giant stove. (read more)

My Dear Friends,
Religion and science are merging,
they are becoming one.
Not as antithetically opposed
as we may believe.
Our discoveries suggests
a far, far more enlightening meaning
to this marriage.

Not just academic,
not just philosophical,
but personal, practical, meaningful.
And as we think upon these things,
as best we can,
we become Blessed to realize:

“Those who dwell in the Beauty
and the mystery of Life
are never lonely.”

The Earth is not at the center of the Universe, WE are.

In our Human affairs
we Live our precious Lives
as if the material World
Is the fundamental reality.
And in this consciousness
lay the root of our discontent,
our misery,
our unquenchable thirst.

My friends,
we are losing our Humanity,
not knowing
WE
are far, far more
than Human.

The Human Spirit
Is the very essence of Life
In a Human Being.
And knowledge of this can amplify
the Joy of Living,
and bring about Spiritual Freedom.

You are a Spiritual Being
having a Human experience.

Your infinite capacity
to create, to Love, to dream, to forgive
and to be aware that you are far, far more
than you can ever imagine,
ultimately defines what it means to be
Human.
You are the most beautiful and miraculous Creation
in the Universe.
And you are
Eternal.

What is missing,
disappearing from Life,
Is the most exciting, wonderful, exhilarating
discovery of all:
When we Love someone,
and finally come to know
that we are deeply Loved,
God enters our Hearts,
and what is dreamed
becomes forever
real.
.
Goodnight.

We, my friends, are Children of God.

“I need your Love,
I need your Love,
God speed your Love
To me.”

Did You Know…

… that there’s a nutrient that could eliminate 50% of all deaths from cancer and prevent other diseases that claim nearly 1 million lives every year?

That nutrient is … Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” which is now recognized by traditional and natural doctors alike as one of the most powerful, inexpensive ways to prevent disease.

Vitamin D is found in small amounts in some foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, and fortified orange juice – but the most important, natural source of vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight.

Vitamin D influences over 2,000 of the 30,000 genes in the body, which explains why it has been found to inhibit the onset and spread of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, autism, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis, to name a few.

Next to smoking, not getting enough vitamin D is the No. 2 risk factor of cancer! Every year, 30% – or two million people worldwide (200,000 in the U.S. alone) – could be spared of dying from cancer if they would just take the proper amounts of vitamin D.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, an Osteopathic physician and New York Times bestselling author, “Groundbreaking studies proved that 600,000 cases of cancer could be prevented every year just by increasing your levels of vitamin D. And without question, the best way to obtain your vitamin D is by UVB sunlight falling on unexposed skin in doses that do not cause sunburn. Beyond cancer, increasing levels of vitamin D could prevent diseases that claim nearly 1 million lives throughout the world each year.”

Dr. Michael Holick, one of the world’s most respected authorities on Vitamin D and author of The UV Advantage explains that “Vitamin D is made in the skin, gets into the bloodstream, and then goes into the liver and kidneys where it is activated into a hormone called 125-dihydroxy (calcitriol). It is this activated vitamin D that has biological, disease-prevention effects, such as preventing prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and colon cancer.”

The proper amount of vitamin D in the body helps to:

stop mutated cells from forming and spreading;
cause diseased cells to commit “cell suicide” – i.e., cause them to literally self-destruct;
causes the differentiation of cells (Cancer cells are often undifferentiated, and this causes them to reproduce faster);
reduce the probability that dormant tumors will regenerate into cancerous cells by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels in those areas.

Absorption is the key. Dr. William Grant, Ph.D., Director of the Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center, and an expert on the effects of the environment and diet on chronic disease, recommends that adults get 2,000 to 4,000 IU’s of vitamin D every day from the sun or from vitamin D supplements to prevent cancerous or dysfunctional cellular activity. However, most people get less than 300 IU’s a day.

While it’s true that excessive amounts of unprotected UVA rays can increase your risk of melanoma skin cancer, there is an overwhelming body of evidence that shows that moderate sun exposure combats cancer and other disease without risk.

It is virtually impossible to overdose on vitamin D. In fact, there’s never been a reported case of vitamin D toxicity – so go outside and enjoy your daily dose of sunshine! If you’re unable to get sufficient sun exposure, taking a high quality vitamin D supplement is recommended by many health practitioners. Natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), or human vitamin D, is the type most often prescribed for therapeutic reasons because it is far superior to vitamin D2, which is synthetic.

The Reason We Love Life / Does The Soul Exist? Evidence Says ‘Yes’ / Garlic in Cancer Prevention / Sept. 1 School Begins .

Posted on June 21, 2020 by asgtc

‘Know from whence you came.
If you know
whence you came,
there are absolutely
no limitations
to where you can go.’
– James Baldwin

We reflect the Joy in our Hearts.

The reason
we Love Life,
is simple –
Life
is Love.

LOVE
is the most powerful energy
in existence.
And when we send
this amazing and indefinable
energy
to each other,
we reflect the Joy
in our Hearts.

“To watch us dance
is to hear our Hearts speak”.
– Hopi, Native American Tribe, proverb

When
we let the Love of God
flow through our Heart
and out into the World,
we spread the Message
of God’s Love.

Life is a song,
and our Love
is the lyrics.

Love permeates everything.
It is all that Truly is,
and all that ever was,
and all that will ever be.

Love stays with you.
And it changes
the Shoreline of Life
Beautifully,
by the ebb
and flow
of seas,
filled with our tears of Joy
and many memories.

The sounds of Nature blend melodious song to mirror Salvation.

The Beautiful Message of Love
that you share,
is a shining Light.
Your Loving words
enable others to feel
the Love in their Hearts
through the day,
and enables them to see
through the long night.
Happiness
need not hide,
waiting to be found.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already here,
right now,
in relaxation and letting go.
– Lama Gendun Rinpoche
.
Send a Blessing of Love.
Shower others
with your smiles.
Share the Love
from God
Above.

“Peace begins
with a smile.”
– Mother Teresa

Saying,
“I’ll see you later.”
is
engaging the meaning
of the moment –
in the Circle
of Life.

,
“When you Pray
enter into your closet
and when you have shut the door,
Pray to your Father which is in secret
and your Father which is in secret
shall reward you
openly.”
– Matthew 6:6

My Friends,
PRAYER
is also an entrance
into the subconscious.
It is
perfect medicine
for our Souls.
.
We
cannot put into words
all the Beauty
that resonates in our
Spiritual Being.
But,
we can give Thanks
for the Journey
of discovery.

We faint and flickering shadows
ever dance
in the Beautiful Light
of Love.

You
are the only one
that can feel
into the depths
of your Sacred Inner Being,
and listen to your Heart
tell the Beautiful Story
of a World where YOU
can be Happy
and Loved,
and Truly alive
in Peace and Harmony.

Yes.
Life is a song.
Let’s sing it
together.

The Beautiful Message of Love you share is a shining Light.

.Reality,
My Dear Friends,
is projected outward
from
the Heart and mind.
If
you Believe,
it exists.

Our inner psychological state
is projected outward
and gains physical reality.
This is regardless of the nature
of your psychological state.
This applies to everyone.
And,
you can use this knowledge
for your own benefit.
You can change
your own conditions.

The Bible says,
“Without Faith
it is impossible to please Him [God],
for he who comes to God must Believe
that He is and that He is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him”
– Hebrews 11:6

If we seek Him,
will we find Him?
Yes.
.
God says,
“You will seek Me and find Me,
when you search for Me
with all your Heart”
– Jeremiah 29:13

Yes,
we need to change
the World.
But to change the World
around us,
we must change
OUR World
inside.

“Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect Harmony.
Let peace begin with
me.
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with
ME.”

Jill Jackson-Miller,
wrote this Beautiful song
after discovering what she called
“Life-saving Joy of God’s Peace
and unconditional Love.”

In the inner Core
of our Souls,
we find Faith.

We cannot doubt
we exist,
because we exist
to doubt.

Do not doubt
that God Loves you.
He Loves you
enough to liberate your mind
to doubt.
He Loves you enough
to let your precious Heart
show you the way
to His Heart.

Be at Peace
My Friend.
God is more real
than we are.

And so is
His Love.

Love that dwells
within your Sacred Heart,
will never lay upon an Altar
of vain repose.
God sets Glorious the setting Sun,
as the sounds of Nature
blend melodious song
to mirror Salvation,
made manifest Majestic
in every Human Heart
that beholds the
Eternal Light
of the Everlasting
Love of God.

Goodnight.

“Oh Heart,
If one should say to you
That the Soul perishes like the body,
Answer that the Flower withers
But the seed remains.”

Biocentrism

Does The Soul Exist?
Evidence Says
‘Yes’

New scientific theory recognizes Life’s Spiritual Dimension.

The reality of the Soul is among the most important questions of life. Although religions go on and on about its existence, how do we know if Souls really exist? A string of new scientific experiments helps answer this ancient spiritual question.

Consider the famous two-slit experiment. When you watch a particle go through the holes, it behaves like a bullet, passing through one slit or the other. But if no one observes the particle, it exhibits the behavior of a wave and can pass through both slits at the same time. This and other experiments tell us that unobserved particles exist only as ‘waves of probability’ as the great Nobel laureate Max Born demonstrated in 1926.
.
They’re statistical predictions – nothing but a likely outcome.
Until observed, they have no real existence;
only when the mind sets the scaffolding in place,
can they be thought of as having duration or a position in space. Experiments make it increasingly clear that even
mere knowledge in the experimenter’s mind
is sufficient to convert possibility to reality.
.

Many scientists dismiss the implications of these experiments,
because until recently, this observer-dependent behavior was thought to be confined to the subatomic world. However, this is being challenged by researchers around the world. In fact, a team of physicists (Gerlich et al, Nature Communications 2:263, 2011) showed that quantum weirdness also occurs in the Human-scale world. They studied huge compounds composed of up to 430 atoms, and confirmed that this strange quantum behavior extends into the larger World we live in.
.
.
Importantly,

this has a direct bearing on the question of whether Humans and other living creatures have Souls. As Immanuel Kant pointed out over 200 years ago, everything we experience – including all the colors, sensations and objects we perceive – are nothing but representations in our mind. Space and time are simply the mind’s tools for putting it all together. Now, to the amusement of idealists, scientists are beginning dimly to recognize that those rules make existence itself possible. Indeed, the experiments above suggest that objects only exist with real properties if they are observed. The results not only defy our classical intuition, but suggest that a part of the mind – the Soul – is immortal and exists outside of space and time.

(Immanuel Kant is the central figure in modern philosophy.
He synthesized early modern rationalism and empiricism,
set the terms for nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy,
and continues to exercise a significant influence today in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and other fields.)

Immanuel Kant

The idea of the Soul is bound up with the idea of a future life and our belief in a continued existence after death. It’s said to be the ultimate animating principle by which we think and feel, but isn’t dependent on the body. Many infer its existence without scientific analysis or reflection. Indeed, the mysteries of birth and death, the play of consciousness during dreams (or after a few martinis), and even the commonest mental operations – such as imagination and memory – suggest the existence of a vital life force – an élan vital – that exists independent of the body.

Yet, the current scientific paradigm doesn’t recognize this spiritual dimension of life. We’re told we’re just the activity of carbon and some proteins; we live awhile and die. And the universe? It too has no meaning. It has all been worked out in the equations – no need for a soul. But biocentrism – a new ‘theory of everything’ – challenges this traditional, materialistic model of reality. In all directions, this outdated paradigm leads to insoluble enigmas, to ideas that are ultimately irrational. But knowledge is the prelude to wisdom, and soon our worldview will catch up with the facts.

Of course, most Spiritual people view the soul as emphatically more definitive than the scientific concept. It’s considered the incorporeal essence of a person, and is said to be immortal and transcendent of material existence. But when scientists speak of the soul (if at all), it’s usually in a materialistic context, or treated as a poetic synonym for the mind. Everything knowable about the “soul” can be learned by studying the functioning of the brain. In their view, neuroscience is the only branch of scientific study relevant to understanding the soul.

Traditionally, science has dismissed the soul as an object of human belief, or reduced it to a psychological concept that shapes our cognition of the observable natural world. The terms “life” and “death” are thus nothing more than the common concepts of “biological life” and “biological death.” The animating principle is simply the laws of chemistry and physics. You (and all the poets and philosophers that ever lived) are just dust orbiting the core of the Milky Way galaxy.

As I sit here in my office surrounded by piles of scientific books, I can’t find a single reference to the soul, or any notion of an immaterial, eternal essence that occupies our being. Indeed, a soul has never been seen under an electron microscope, nor spun in the laboratory in a test tube or ultra-centrifuge. According to these books, nothing appears to survive the human body after death.

While neuroscience has made tremendous progress illuminating the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious. The problem of the soul lies exactly here, in understanding the nature of the self, the “I” in existence that feels and lives life. But this isn’t just a problem for biology and cognitive science, but for the whole of Western natural philosophy itself.

Our current worldview – the world of objectivity and naïve realism – is beginning to show fatal cracks. Of course, this will not surprise many of the philosophers and other readers who, contemplating the works of men such as Plato, Socrates and Kant, and of Buddha and other great spiritual teachers, kept wondering about the relationship between the universe and the mind of man.

Recently, biocentrism and other scientific theories have also started to challenge the old physico-chemical paradigm, and to ask some of the difficult questions about life: Is there a soul? Does anything endure the ravages of time?

Life and consciousness are central to this new view of being, reality and the cosmos. Although the current scientific paradigm is based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent existence, real experiments suggest just the opposite. We think life is just the activity of atoms and particles, which spin around for a while and then dissipate into nothingness. But if we add life to the equation, we can explain some of the major puzzles of modern science, including the uncertainty principle, entanglement, and the fine-tuning of the laws that shape the universe.

“The Hope of another Life”
wrote Will Durant,
“gives us courage to meet our own death,
and to bear with the death of our Loved ones;
we are twice armed if we fight with Faith.“

And we are thrice armed
if we fight with science.

Garlic in Prostate Cancer Prevention

click here to read more

Can garlic help prevent and fight prostate cancer, the most common non-skin cancer in America? Several studies suggest garlic and garlic supplements offer protection against cancer, including prostate cancer. These anti-cancer effects are thought to be largely attributable to organosulphur compounds which are produced during the decomposition of allicin. Allicin, in turn, is formed in raw garlic cloves when you crush or chop them.

Additionally, garlic – especially raw garlic – is rich in vitamin C, a nutrient that has been used to prevent and treat prostate cancer.

The rest of this article provides details of recent studies that have been carried out to investigate a possible link between eating garlic and a lowered risk of prostate cancer:

A population-based, case-control study conducted in Shanghai, China, found that men who ate more than 10 grams of Allium vegetables, particularly garlic and scallions, per day were 50% less likely to get prostate cancer than those who ate only a little bit of garlic. The reduced risk of prostate cancer associated with garlic consumption was independent of total caloric intake, body size, and consumption of other foods. This study appeared in the November 2002 edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

In another case-control study, a group of researchers from Oxford asked 328 men diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 75 and 328 controls to provide details of their dietary habits. The controls were matched for age. Garlic and garlic supplements, along with a few other foods such as beans and peas, were found to have a protective effect against prostate cancer. This study was published in the renowned British Journal of Cancer in 1997.

However, not all case-control studies support the theory that garlic helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer. A large 2006 study that analyzed dietary data from a number of Italian and Swiss case-control studies found a significant association between high garlic consumption and a reduced risk of several cancers, but not of prostate cancer. The scientists responsible for this study believe that in case of prostate cancer, hormonal factors may play a bigger role in the development of the disease than dietary factors. This study on garlic and cancer was published in the November 2006 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The Bottom Line

Some studies suggest that garlic can indeed help prevent and fight prostate cancer, while other studies imply that garlic does not have a significant protective effect against prostate cancer. However, there are numerous studies that show that a diet rich in garlic is good for your overall health and vitality, and that eating garlic regularly can reduce the risk of several types of cancer including stomach, mouth and throat, kidney, and colorectal cancers. This evidence supports the idea of including garlic in an anti-prostate-cancer diet (or almost any other diet aimed at improving health).

For Those Who Accept Truth / The Secret To Happiness And Longevity / Sept.1 School Starts

Posted on June 12, 2020 by asgtc

The Beautiful Gift to Humanity
that you are.

Love is the only power capable of spinning new Worlds into existence.

We start
with all the Love
we have been given,
and we arrive with the Love
we are.
.
And our Love
is capable of spinning
new Worlds into existence.

My Dear Friends,
Love
is ultimately for those,
who accept Truth,
the Truth of who you are,
the Truth you come from
the Love of
God.

Let us Thank the Lord
for the exquisite Gifts
of Life and Love.

And as we give Thanks
and Praise to our Creator,
our mind is comforted
and Life is elevated
into a deeper Realm
of inner Peace.

Love flows
like a raging river
from a purified Heart
within us.

When
we remember the best and Happiest
times in our Lives,
we come to know
we have been Truly Loved.
Joy,
My Friend,
emanates from Love.

To get your mind
in tune
with your Heart,
enjoy the quiet,
feel the solitude.
Listen to the Beauty of the Birds
in flight,
and feel the Loving caress
of your Mother,
Nature,
in the wind.

To feel at Peace,
re-balance the relationship
between your mind and your
Loving Heart,
through the Beautiful and calming
Music of Prayer,
and the acceptance of all the Blessings
of who you are.

The magnificence of the departing Sky.

Give
the Blessing
of your precious Life
to those around
you.
Your Life
is a Gift.
You
are a Blessing
from God.
.
You can find
the rest and the Peace
you so long for
and deserve,
in the sweeping and Beautiful renewal
of the energy of Birds in flight,
in the Beautiful fields
of glittering gold and green so bold,
in the magnificence of the departing Sky,
in the meadows
and grasslands
that so often
you looked past
and beyond,
and thus
did deny.

Acceptance of who you are.

When we fail
to Love others,
it is a sign that our Heart
is not relishing enough
of the Wonder and the Blessings
of our
Beautiful Wold.

There is always
something Beautiful in the World
you can see.

“Lo, here the gentle Lark,
Weary of rest,
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high,
And wakes the morning,
From whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his
Majesty.”
– William Shakespeare

The Music
of Prayer and Meditation
can calm
the relentless and restless
Spirit.
The highest wall
you have to climb
is the one you build in your mind.
Never let your mind
talk you out of your Dreams.
Dreams
are Heartfelt things.

There is always something Beautiful.

The mind
becomes the greatest obstacle
to Happiness.

Do the works of the one
you Believe yourself to be.
Live in the feeling
of Being the one you want to be,
and you shall be –
Happy.

When you Believe
in yourself,
and in our Loving God
who Lives deep within
your Sacred Heart,
you find the reality
of the Beautiful Gift to Humanity
that you are.
.
Goodnight.

_{Harvard Studied People For 75 Years And Found That Happiness And Longevity Comes From One Thing…}

_{by Cheyenne Diaz}

_{January 6, 2018}

_{This post was originally published on Ted.com}

_{What makes a good life? Many people around the world would say fame or money or “success.” But it turns out, a good life consists of much more than that.}

_{The Secret To Happiness And Longevity}

_{We all want to extend our happiness and longevity — so what keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life?}

_{If you think it’s fame and money, you’re not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Dr. Robert Waldinger, you’re mistaken. Happiness doesn’t just come from “leaning in” at work or pushing harder for achievements. It doesn’t come from hearing our names spoken about in an envious way or from seeing our face plastered on billboards.}

_{As Dr. Waldinger says in the video, “We’re giving the impression that these are the things we have to go after if we want a good life.” But that’s actually not true.}

_{And he would know. As the director of 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. It’s known as the Harvard Study. And it’s the longest study of adult life that has ever been done.}

_{They’ve studied people who grew up in tenements, others who went to the best schools, and some who developed schizophrenia. They’ve watched as some climbed to the top of the social ladder from the bottom while others who made that journey in reverse.}

_{And they’ve been able to study and develop what the real picture of life looks like. It turns out that feeling connected to the people around you is the most important secret.}

_{3 Lessons for relationships that improve your life}

_{If you want to invest in your best life, here are 3 tips you should consider.}

_{1. Social connections make us happier and healthier while loneliness kills}

_{When you’re more socially connected to your family, your friends, your partner, and your community, you tend to be much happier and healthier. But the reverse is also true: the less connected you are and the more lonely you feel, the more vulnerable you are to an early death. And the unfortunate paradox in this day and age is that a lot of people are more connected before through technology, but less connected to real people in their lives.}

_{2. It’s not just the number of your relationships but the quality of relationships that counts.}

_{Just because social connections make us happier doesn’t mean you should get more of them or keep them all. Unhealthy marriages, for example, were actually almost more toxic that divorcing or staying single. It’s the quality, not the quantity, that counts.}

_{3. Good relationships protect both our bodies
and our brains.}

_{Secure, attached relationships — relationships where both partners feel they can count on each other in times of need — protect our mind and our body. That doesn’t mean that you have to find a relationship where there is never any bickering or conflicts. It means that your relationship can protect you as long as you feel you can truly turn to the person you’re in a partnership with when the going gets tough.}

_{Take a look at the full talk to hear more about the study, as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life.}

The Very Foundation Of Our Human Existence / 7 Powerful Mushrooms And Their Healing Benefits / Sept.1 School Starts

Posted on June 9, 2020 by asgtc

No Person
comes into Being
without the need
for
Love.
.
We Human Beings
are here
because of Love.
We are birthed
by Love,
the Love that is
God,
Love that is within
you and me.

No thing,
however Beautiful or valuable,
can make us feel Truly Loved.
Only the Love
of
another Living Creation
can do that.

“No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.“
– John Donne

Our deeper identity
lies in the fragile and subjective Nature
of the Human Heart.

Our need for Love
lies at the very foundation
of our Human existence.
Love
brings us happiness.
It
is the very essence
of our Nature.

Look to Love,
My Friends,
and you will dream.
and give your Heart
flight on wings.
Love
is the only thing
meant to be.

The Human Heart
is Home to us all.
If Love in Life
is meant to be,
then the Heart
is the only thing
that will set you
free.

Cherish
what you feel
above all else.
Forests of people
that surround us
day by day,
can dissolve and decay
the fiber of our will,
our will to
Be.
Our need for Love
is the very essence
of our existence.

We are
the Human of Beings,
filled with Hope for Happiness
and Beautiful Dreams.
Since the Time
of our Sacred Birth,
expressions of Love
have freely flowed
from our Mother,
Nature,
all around us.

But,
a Child
however old,
cannot survive without the nourishment
of Love.

Your happiness
as a Child,
depended directly upon
Love.
And,
Child of God,
it still does.

My Dear Friends,
the Love of
God
is always here.
HIS presence
is always within.
The LOVE we share
is the Love
of God.

It is one
and the same.

In this Lower World
Heaven resides
within your precious Heart.
Yes,
God Lives within.
And
His Love,
YOUR Love,
will never die.

There is
something Beautiful and unique
about you.
How fortunate we all are,
that we traveled through our Time
and this Space.
And our trace
in Time
no one can erase
or forget,
if
our Space
was filled with
Love.

Goodnight.

7 Powerful Mushrooms & Their Healing Benefits

7 Powerful Mushrooms & Their Healing Benefits

Do you have your mushrooms diced through a stirfry or brewed into a superfood latte? There’s a way for everyone to enjoy the incredible health benefits of these fungi. Soils and environments where mushrooms grow are a rich source of providing essential minerals in our diet and the different varieties are packed with widespread and potent healing abilities. Since discovering our friend Nick Polizzi’s new series, Proven, we’ve taken our knowledge of science-backed, plant-based medicine to the next level. Here is just some of what we’ve discovered so far…

1. Reishi – The All-Rounder

If you’re looking for something that embodies the meaning of superfood, reishi is the mushroom that does it all. It has recently been the subject of many studies relating to cancer development and chemotherapy, and immunity benefits. As an adaptogen, reishi can help to alleviate fatigue and regulate stress levels, and there is also some research into how reishi can lower blood sugar and cholesterol while improving liver function.

How To Enjoy: This mushroom is mostly found in powdered or capsule form and can be added to warm teas or smoothies.

2. Shiitake – The Source of Cancer-Fighting Compound Lentinan

Perhaps you’ve had your daily dose of shiitake in a miso soup or wrapped up in a bao bun, but these flavor-rich shrooms have a powerful polysaccharide component – activating our immune system. Lentinan, a compound found in shiitake mushrooms, has been shown to slow down the growth of leukemia cells and stop them from spreading. In some countries, like China and Japan, injectable lentinan is even being prescribed to support the immune system in treatment programs.

How To Enjoy: You can buy shiitake mushrooms fresh or dried from your local produce store, farmer’s market, or Asian supermarket.

3. Oyster – The HIV Fighter

If you’re a first-time, at-home-mushroom farmer, this should be the first variety you reach for. Alongside being alarmingly easy to grow, oyster mushrooms, in all their geometric beauty, have been praised in the scientific community for their role in HIV research. Antiretroviral treatment (ART) in HIV patients has been known to raise both triglyceride and cholesterol levels. The antihyperlipidemic (prevention or counteraction of lipids accumulating in the blood) effects of oyster mushrooms have helped to return the body to homeostasis in both significant animal trials, and small-scale, preliminary human trials.

How To Enjoy: These mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh, and you’ll be able to find them wherever you get your produce.

4. Porcini – The Anti-Inflammatory

Risotto fans rejoice, the beloved porcini is one of the most nutritious mushies you can have on your plate. Alongside being low-calorie but nutritionally-rich and promoting good digestive health, these fungi are powerful when it comes to reducing inflammation – the precursor for disease. Scientists are exploring conditions that the anti-inflammatory compounds may aid, but one 2016 study using mice showed a significant decrease in inflammation markers, especially in asthma response.

How To Enjoy: Porcini mushrooms are most often found dried, but this process helps the fungus retain its benefits.

5. White Button – The Prostate & Breast Cancer Fighters

One of the most commonly found mushrooms (in your local supermarket) conveniently may help to address some of the most commonly found cancers. White button mushrooms may seem humble at first glance but have had powerful impacts – especially in reducing PSA levels in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. There have also been trials to suggest that the extract may prevent the recurrence of post-menopausal breast cancer.

How To Enjoy: White buttons are available in your local produce section, from farmers, or wherever you get your produce.

6. Chanterelle – The Metabolism Booster

Just as beautiful as the oyster, chanterelle mushrooms are loved in cooking for how the flavor is retained when sautéed in organic grass-fed butter. As luck would have it, they are also one of the most concentrated sources of B vitamins that nature can provide – including the hard-to-find B12. This water-soluble vitamin group is crucial for converting food into energy and keeping the nervous system thriving, and the high fiber content promotes good digestion.

How To Enjoy: Chanterelle’s can be bought fresh or dried – the latter rehydrates into a lovely tender shroom in broths and soups.

7. Black Truffle – The Feel-Good Response

Truffles have long been a sign of luxury and a refined palette, but there’s a reason we love these hard-to-come-by fungi. Truffles actually contain a ‘bliss molecule’ that is very similar in structure and function to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana. One study has found that anandamide, a compound found in black truffles, triggers a chemical reaction that enhances mood, changes appetite, and reduces feelings of depression and pain of the human brain. But don’t worry, truffles won’t go getting you high!

How To Enjoy: They can be found fresh, dried, or even in an oil form. Either way, they’ll retain the feel-good factor.

Between The Known And What We Believe / GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN / The Sacred Soldiers of our Society: Our Officers of the Peace in the Valley

Posted on June 2, 2020 by asgtc

Think
with your
Heart.

There is a thin veil
between the known,
and what we Believe.

And,
as we struggle
day by day
to survive
and thrive,
we can Pray
and form a bond
with the unknown.
.
And a Song begins to form,
a Song
birthed
by the Human Heart
and heard
all the World around.

It blends
with voices in numbers
untold,
as we join in endless Praise
to give Thanks to God
for our precious Gift
of Life,
and all the Love
that abounds.

Never
shall we be
all alone,
when our Hearts
join as one,
in Praise
of the Miracle of Life
and Love through the ages,
as we grow,
and come to know
more and more
Blessings
abound.

In Time,
we will come to know,
the Miracles of Life
are sent with Love
to all of us
from God Above.
.
We are part of
the Music
of a Magical Moment.

And as we join
in the Song of Life
and listen to the Beautiful Music of
Nature
heard all around,
it brings us to tears
to know that Life
can be so very Beautiful,
even though
circumstances
can make us forget,
and create regret
we should never
know.

Through all Eternity
all
we need ever
know,
is God’s
Love.

“In Oceans deep
My Faith will stand
And I will call upon
Your Name,
And keep my eyes above the waves.
When oceans rise,
my Soul will rest in
Your Embrace.
For I am Yours and
You are mine.”
– Joel Houston, Matt Crocker, Salomon Lighthelm

To keep our Faith
in the Divine,
be generous
and be kind,
and keep your Heart
and your eyes
upon the Beauty of the Earth,
and on the Skies,
and upon your Sacred Birth.
For all the Love
which from our Birth
over and around us lies,
we need but give Thee
Thanks and Praise.

Every Blessing
is a Gift.
And every Birth,
a Blessing.

Today,
let us be so grateful
for the Gift of Life,
grateful for the Beautiful People
all around us,
for the air we breathe,
for the connection we have
with the Divine Love
of God.

As the Beautiful Sky
is opening upon the Dawn
of each new Day,
and the energy of the Universe
pours Life
into every cell
of your precious Being,
stand within the moment,
to give Thanks
and Pray.

May God Bless
YOU
and your precious Family,
and your friends.
Ask the Divine
to cleanse the Sacred Soul
and keep us
on the Path to Fulfillment
of His Wishes and Dreams
for you.

May the abundance of God’s Love
fill your Sacred Heart,
and bring Joy
to you all.

Goodnight.

“Many night’s we’ve Prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our Hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood,
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear.
We were moving mountains
long before we knew we could.
There can be Miracles
When you Believe.
Though Hope is frail,
It’s hard to kill.
Who knows what Miracles
You can achieve
When you Believe.
Somehow you will
You will when you Believe.”
– Stephen Schwartz

GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN

May God Bless and Keep
all of our Friends in law enforcement,
as they prove to be
such a Blessing to all of us.

Bouquets of Flowers never formed into words,
never spoken, can block the Sun.

“Someone’s lost the plan
for the Brotherhood of Man,
and no one is trying to find it
anymore.
And the winds become a sigh
for those who hate and those who die.
And the waves are black
and slow along the shore.”
– Roger Whittaker

Evil must be mirrored in the face of Courage, or it will overwhelm the innocent.

Our ignorance leaves exposed
parts of the Heart
we keep covered
from our own
deeper selves.

We want so desperately
to stand on the
Purity of Truth.
But we often cower in silence
facing the mirror
of our own fear.

As we tumble
out of our dreams
and back
into what we assume
is reality,
we fall from the Grace
of our Beautiful Imaginings,
and into the moment
of never really knowing
what is real,
what is
True.

Wonderful neighbors and friends.

So very many
of our precious children
knew not
the difference between
now and never,
this moment
and forever.

They came
to a moment in Time
paralyzed in thought,
no longer able to
make sense
of the waking
World –
drifting,
as it were,
in and out
of what
they dreamed of
and hoped for,
and the World
became
a living nightmare.

You are the Guardians of the Gardens of Life.

We watched
as many drowned
in the deep end
of an ocean of drugs and violence,
between innocence and confusion,
between waves
of goodbye
lapping upon our shores.

Indifference and ignorance
stagnated into
Daylight Nights
that seemingly would never end,
and into days
of sufferance with no new
beginning.

“Peace has its victories,
but it takes
Brave men and women
to win them.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fear
perpetuated itself
in our ignorance,
as we listened not
to the soft, still voices
that cried from within
the fragile Human Hearts
of our precious children.

And we allowed evil
to steal from us
everything that God and Man
held Dearest.

But Hope
rises with the dawn
of a new horizon,
a new awareness,
as we find new meaning
in old lyrics
of Life.

The mirror of our own fear.

My Dear Friends,
we are never really
far from the Light.
On the other side
of our spinning Globe,
it is always
on its way.

And as it spins
round and round and round,
we come face to face with fear,
in a seemingly
never ending dance
with destiny.
And we wait for the Light
of God’s Love,
unaware,
it is always
on its way,
or perhaps,
already
here.

The Light of God’s Love.

Evil
must be mirrored
in the face of courage,
or it will overwhelm
the innocent.

And our Children,
My Dear Friends,
are not for the taking.

If alone,
we have not
the courage and the strength,
the insight
and the wisdom,
to do battle
with the forces of darkness,
that for financial or other gain,
would destroy everyone
we truly Love,
then we must fervently Pray
for those
Towers of Strength
surpassing all others,
to come our way.

And God,
in His Wisdom,
provides.

Towers of Strength.

Yes.
God answers our
Prayers.

But then,
My Friend,
we MUST listen
to His Answer,
or ALL we will ever hear
is the cold and very lonely
sound of
Silence.

God
fervently
answers our Prayers.
He is with us.
And he Abides
within the Hearts and Minds
of so very many
wonderful neighbors and friends,
who have dedicated themselves
to protect
and save and serve,
and often
lay down their Precious Lives,
so we may live,
so that our children
may survive
and thrive,
and do so
without FEAR.

Who chose to rise above.

These Sacred Soldiers
of our Society,
are reflections
of our Deeply Held Morality.
The are
the very Best
of the Best.
They are Gifts
that God and Mankind
have bestowed
upon us.

They are
the very Human
and very Courageous
Crusaders of our fragile Culture,
who willingly give their Lives,
so we may Live,
in Peace and prosperity,
in Freedom,
and with Honor,
with Dignity,
and with a Love
for Life.

They are the
Peace Officers
of our Nation,
who chose to rise above
the ordinary demands
of Life and Living.

Courage,
My Friend,
is a form of pure
Love.
The very word
comes from the Heart.
Coeur
is the French word
for Heart.

Reflections of our Deeply Held Morality.

In the finest traditions
of Service to Mankind,
we find the Purity of Truth
dictates
that the Courage
to Protect and Serve
and become a Salvation
for so very many,
is truly birthed in the
Heart.

Yes,
there is a deep River
that flows through
our fragile Lives.
Its reach
is very long.
It is truly deep.
And it is
Blue.
So very Blue.

A River of Love
is flowing,
ever flowing toward
what abides Infinitely Deep –
and it flows
from the Vast Ocean
of God’s Love.

Courage to the Core.

Our Brothers and Sisters
in Blue
are Human too,
with Courage
to the Core,
so you
can be you.

Please join me
in extending our sincere appreciation
to one and all,
who are so
Lovingly and Courageously
dedicated to preserving
our way of Life,
our Love of Living
and our precious Children.

We THANK YOU.
And we truly
LOVE YOU
too.

And
we thank God
for the precious Gifts
of your Lives.

You
are the Guardians
of the Gardens of Life.
And we are
truly Grateful.

Our Prayers
are with you
and
your precious Families.

Our Prayers are with you.

May you always find
Peace
in your Hearts
and Peace of Mind,
the Peace in our Hearts
and our Minds,
that you so courageously give
to us.

“In Valor there is Hope.” – Tacitus

You reach out to us
each and every day,
and selflessly give
so that we
may Live.
Flowers grow
for the comfort
of Mankind.
Grasping wild,
they tell evermore
of Love
that Blossoms like those
now in hand.

But bouquets of Flowers
never formed into words,
never spoken,
can block the Sun.
A constant shadow
can lie evermore across
what we did not say
today.

God Loves us through the lives of those who live to protect us.

So let us begin
to express our Love,
the very deep and abiding Gratitude
that lives within,
to those who have
given so much,
to so many.

Children
can teach us
many things.
They can show us
that Love
is a simple thing.
It begins
with but a smile,
and it never really
ends.

Children can teach us.

May God Bless
and Keep
each one of you,
our
Officers
of the Peace
in the Valley.

May God
take into His Heart
the precious Spirit
of all those
who laid down their precious Lives
upon the Sacred Altar
of our Freedom.

Yes,
our Father in Heaven Above
is never really far away.
He guards us,
illuminates our path
and Loves us,
through the precious Lives of those
who Live to protect us
every day.

“Greater Love
hath no man
than this,
that a man lay down his Life
for his Friends.”
– John 15:13

Goodnight.

Patrick Zamarripa – deeply Loved Father, Son, Soldier, Savior and Brother to us ALL.

Dallas Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa,
pictured with his precious daughter,
was killed by a cowardly sniper
along with four other police officers
several years ago.
This Loving Father of two was a veteran
who served three tours in Iraq
before coming home
to be a Dallas Police Officer.
His Father, Rick Zamarripa,
has asked for our Prayers
to help the family
through this.

Let us Pray.

“It is not how these officers died that made them Heroes, it is how they lived.” – Vivian Eney Cross

Since the first recorded police death in 1791,
there have been over 20,000 law enforcement officers
killed in the line of duty.
Currently, there are more than 20,789 names
engraved on the walls of the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
Every day Texas State Troopers,
Agents and Texas Rangers
and local Police Officers
risk their lives
to protect and serve us,
and they are honored to do so.
Some DPS officers pay the ultimate Sacrifice,
and we are Forever
Grateful to them and their families
for their courageous service to we,
the people of Texas.

In Harmony With Your Heart / A Little Doorway In A Dark Wall / Sept. 1 – We Begin Again

Posted on May 25, 2020 by asgtc

As Human Beings,
we have the opportunity
to experience Life
as a Journey
of Love.

This precious Life
CAN bring us
to the center of our Blessed Hearts,
and our Earth.
We can come to realize
just how Beautiful it truly is.
Your precious Heart
can be filled with
Sacred Awareness.

To become aware
is always
an emotional journey.
Your emotions
are the deepest and most precious part
of your fragile Being.
How you feel
is much more significant
than your physical being.

The Human Heart
swells from all the pain and sorrow.

The range of emotions we feel
is like no other phenomenon
we can experience
or try to explain.
Our feelings range from
the simple,
to the most complex
and
the most misunderstood.

What makes you feel happy to be alive? It is simple. And it is called LOVE.

Our stirring emotions
range from gentle waves
lapping upon the clay of our shore,
to the violent storms
of war
after war,
after war,
after war.
Oh My God!
WHEN
will we war
no more?
.
In our brief moment of Life,
sorrow surfaces and tears provide some release
from damaging emotional scars.

But,
My Dear Friends,
our feelings
are not meant to be caged.
Their feathers are too bright.
And when they fly away,
part of you knows
it is a sin to lock them up.
The place we Live in
will be empty and meaningless
if
they are no more.

So share
all the Love
hidden deep inside,
and go
to war
no more.

It is simple.

Life is Beautiful.
And with the movement of the Tides,
and the lapping of emotional waves
upon our fragile shores
made of clay,
the discord and dissonance
can be coupled with the Forgiveness
we crave,
and give Life and reason
to our Beliefs,
and Glory
to our Being.

Your Love
can be contemplative, reflective and enriching
to your Soul,
in as much as you give,
as much as you
receive.
.
“All men live lives
of quiet desperation.”
– T.S. Elliot

Prayer
creates a little doorway
in a dark wall
of unawareness and lack of Faith.
But,
when you step through it,
you can breath,
and Life is good to you
again.
The realization
that God truly Loves us,
penetrates the core within.

This moment,
is an instant,
that can be taken out of Time,
and alter Life
by holding it still
in deep reflection.

Only if you have been
in the deepest valley,
can you ever know how magnificent
it is to be
on the highest Mountain.
.
Such awareness
connects you
with all the Love
hidden deep inside.
.
“Love does not end at death,
only
the lack of Love ends it.”
– Jim Morrison

It is reflected in YOU.

My Dear Friends,
GO OUTSIDE.
Get far away from the illusions
of Human constructs.
Ninety degree angles and straight linear formations
and not Natural,
are boring
and bind you to a habitual
and unthinking Life.

Our minds
and our imaginations
become so limited when exposed to
virtually nothing but straight lines
and box shapes in the environment.
We literally can no longer think
“outside the box”.
.
We ingrain these repetitive
formations and patterns
in our minds by over exposure to them,
and they become a part of us
and limit our thinking and our creativity.
They become our first and second nature,
because the repetition has entered
into our subconscious minds.
.
The shapes of our houses,
and everything inside and out,
and the things found throughout our cities
and our Lives,
that we are constantly exposed to,
blind us to the real nature
of what is truly real,
what is
Natural.

Ask yourself:
what shapes
occur in Nature?

What shapes occur in Nature?

.And think
about what makes you
aware of your surroundings:
what the ground feels like
underneath your bare feet,
how the fresh air smells around you,
how stunningly Beautiful
the Birds of the air
can be.

We simply MUST
become aware of
where we are,
what we are doing.

Sharing your gifts
brings awareness.
By sharing
you truly know
what a Gift you are,
and how much you truly
mean to others.

This Dream
of our brief Lives
is covered with a veil
of Beautiful
Blessings.
And like the Rays of our Sun,
can deeply touch everyone.

The World is so Beautiful
and
it is reflected
in YOU.

Upon the real pathway of Life.

Walk along a path
created not by our kind,
but by God’s Loving Nature.
.
Feel
the warm and gentle breeze
as it caresses your face.
And as the green leaves
are swaying in the wind,
you will come to realize,
they are in tune with your thoughts,
in Harmony
with your Heart.

My Friends,
the World and we
are one.

As delicate Flowers unfold
to greet you
upon the real pathway
of Life,
they will Light up your Spirit
and lift you
to beyond.
They Love you.
,
Let the gentle flow of their Joy
fill you with delight.
Smile and sing
and realize that
here is now,
and in this moment
is the entire and Beautiful
meaning of Life.

God’s Love
is in every fluttering Leaf,
emanating from every Beautiful Flower,
in every breeze,
every moment.
.
The Source of your Life,
is the same Inspiration
and Infinite Love.

“Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky,
How they fly, how they fly.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with His Eye.”
– Roger Hoffman
.
The Beautiful World
God Created for you,
is also within you.

Goodnight.

The Precious Memory of Melanie Scheuring / Yesterday Is Closing A Door /

Posted on May 17, 2020 by asgtc

“What we have once enjoyed
we can never lose;
ALL that we deeply Love
becomes a part of us.”
– Helen Keller

“To live in Hearts we leave behind is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell

Dedicated
with all my
Love
to the Precious Memory
of Melanie Scheuring.

She
will Live Forever
in the Hearts
of everyone.

“When you are sorrowful
look again in your Heart,
and you shall see that in Truth
you are weeping for that
which has been your delight.”
– Khalil Gibran

Her Love
is the most Divine, Sincere, and Majestic
ever Conceived for our Hearts.
The Harmony
of Her Precious Being
is a Song of Love,
Unconditional,
Unrelenting,
and Eternal
Love.
.
We Thank God
for
Her Precious Life.

“If you find it’s me you’re missing,
If you’re hoping I’ll return,
To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning,
In the road I’ll stop and turn.
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end,
and the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m Homeward bound
again.”
– Marta Keen Thompson

Yesterday is leaving
and closing a door.
And as the Sun
is slowly setting
on the Beautiful, Reflective Horizon,
it reminds us,
that nevermore
will we Live there
again.

We leave the Light
of days gone by
and let the shadows
fade away.
Tomorrow,
is another day.

My Dear Friends,
let the shadows
on the walls of your Heart,
fade away.
Step into the Beautiful Light
of a new Dawn,
a new Day
and
close the door.

When we say Goodbye
to where we have been,
and Pray,
and ask the Lord
to tell our fragile Human Heart
to beat again,
we step into the Light
of God’s Grace
and HOPE
is born
again.

Let the shadows fade away.

With God by our side,
we have never
lost the way.

Man’s true nature
being lost,
everything becomes his nature;
as, his true good being lost,
everything becomes his good.”
– Blaise Pascal

LOVE
is the only Light
we Forever see,
the only Light
to show us the
way,
the way to Live,
the way to a reason
to cry,
the way to never
give up,
never deny,
the Beauty
of God’s Love for you,
for YOUR
precious Life.
.
Let us TRY
again
to Live another
day.
God’s Love
Truly Lives in your
Heart.
.
The Love of God
created you.
God is Love,
so
Love is your Creator.
This Sacred Knowledge
is the single most important discovery
you can make in
Life.
.
Love
is the reason
we were born.
The ONLY reason.

Dear CHILD of God,
He dwells
within.
This Light
is never dim,
never dies.
It is the
TRUTH.
It never lies.
.
Feel the Power
of God’s Love.
He gives us
HOPE.
God will hear us,
if we turn to Him.
.
We cannot always say
that everything is well
in our brief Lives.
There will always be storms
and tragedy.
.
But with Faith
in our Loving God,
with Trust in His Divine Help,
we CAN confidently say:

“It is well,
it is well with my Soul.
When Peace , like a river,
attendeth my way,
When sorrows like seal billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well
it is well with my Soul.”
– Horatio Spafford
.

Love will see farther
than we ever could.

Leave the darkness,
feel the Sun.

As this World drives you
to your knees,
close your eyes and slowly breathe.
Let the shadows fall away.
Step into the Light of God’s Grace.
Yesterday
is a closing door.
.
NO.
We don’t live there
anymore.
.
God’s Love
will pull you through.
Yes,
leave the darkness,
and feel the Sun.
The new Day
is far from over.
Your journey
has just begun.

The Holy Word of God
is where all the Answers are.
Feel the Loving Comfort
from Heaven Above.

“Your Word
is a Lamp for my feet,
a Light on my path.”
– Psalm 119:105

.
My Friends,
words
fall far short
in times like these.

But the Word
of God
will wash over you.
With His Love,
your precious Heart
will beat again.
.
Goodnight.

The Poetry of Life / Blessings You May Be Overlooking / Dietary Changes for People with Depression

Posted on May 12, 2020 by asgtc

The greatest happiness of Life
is the conviction that we are
Loved;
Loved for ourselves,
or rather,
Loved in spite of ourselves.”
– Victor Hugo

Do not wait
to be Happy
in a future
which may never be.
The ONLY time to become Happy
is always
in THIS precious moment.

When we forget our true
and original Nature,
we feel hopeless
and spiral down into
deep despair.
.
My Dear Friends,
our original Nature,
the one that is real,
is pure and limitless.
It isn’t bound or attached
to our past,
to our mistakes
of which we ALL
are in sufferance,
or to circumstances,
so typically beyond
our control.

Unregenerate Mankind
is not renewed in the Heart and mind,
or most importantly,
reborn in Spirit.
Without a rebirth
of all the Love
hidden deep in your Heart,
your Heart fails to know God,
and so the Wisdom of God
remains hidden to those
that are perishing.

Love reflects in the mind and the Heart.

Accepting
the Beautiful and Bountiful Love of God,
breathes contentment into Life.
Such Love
reflects in the mind and the Heart,
like the notes of gentle drops of water,
like rhythmic waves of the Ocean
rising and falling,
like Angelic Voices
carrying you away
into a Place of Peace
and Joy.

The Beauty of God’s Love
can not be described with words,
because it is
Infinite.

Yes,
God’s Love is
Forever.

My Friends,
the Holy Bible is really
a Love Letter
from God
to you and to me.
If you are feeling alone or unloved,
please read and meditate
on the Loving Verses
found in the Word of God.

You can come to understand
just how much God Loves
YOU.

The Love of God is the Light inside.

How magnificent
to be in the Beauty of Prayer
and search for the Peace
in one’s Soul.

Breathe deeply,
calm your mind.
Reach deep down inside your Heart
and reflect upon the last tender moment
of pure Joy that you felt.
Meditate upon where you were
and what you found
in that rare moment
and how it made you feel.
.
Now,
know that you can feel that way again.
Where you last found pure Joy,
there it will always be.

The Love of God
is the Light
inside
that heals the Heart
that Loves.

Goodnight.

Reflect upon the last tender moment of pure Joy.

Are you Grateful for Your Life?
13 Blessings You May Be Overlooking
by Joseph Wilner
youhaveacalling.com
Click here to read more

I’m sure there has been much pain in your Life. You have probably had extreme ups and downs, and times of emotional, spiritual, and physical unrest. This is why gratitude can be one of the most difficult virtues to uphold.

We forget that gratitude is not only about our accomplishments, what we have, or the good fortune we experience, but that gratitude comes from simply being a person alive in the world. There are many Blessings in disguise that aren’t always apparent to us, and many of these Blessings are afforded to us simply for being alive! As long as we have Life, we can learn to be grateful for it, and uncover our unique Human Blessings despite the hardships. Below are some broad and general Blessings that you may have overlooked.

1. Wisdom

Through life we have so many opportunities to grow as a person and gain greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and world around us. This is a true blessing. Learning from our mistakes and growing from experiences is a part of the gift of life. Recognize how fortunate we are to be able to grow spiritually and reflect on our own existence in order to reach greater contentment.

2. Service

As Human beings we have been Blessed to be able to give and serve others. We can do kind things for other people, or altruistically help another person in need, and we can get this same behavior reciprocated to ourselves. Taking an approach to give back what we have been given and help others feel better is a wonderful gift. When we grow full of gratitude and joy we can begin to share it with others.

3. Protection

We are all afforded protection. Think of the many close calls and moments where you have safely made it through a precarious situation. Most of us have a sense of security and faith that we are going to be okay in difficult times. This is something to be very grateful for. Things may not be perfect but as long as we have a sense of safety it makes it possible to experience love, pleasure, and trust.

4. Rest

If you have a type-A personality like me you are always on the go, and viewing rest and relaxation as a blessing can be overlooked. However, we all need time to restore our body and mind, and having time to relax can be one of the most valuable gifts to receive in this busy world. It provides us a new beginning and fresh perspective. Don’t take for granted the opportunity to simply relax and be restful. Recognize your downtime as a Blessing.

5. Healing/Health

If you’re going through a difficult medical situation right now, this may be hard to accept, but our bodies are made to heal. Every cut, scrape, and bruise heals in time. Focus on the magnificence of your bodies natural healing ability. Learn to cherish your health, preserve it, and when you get sick feel Blessed that you will get better.

6. Guidance

We all have moments where we receive guidance, whether directly or indirectly. We are given advice and receive advice every day if we are willing to stop and notice these moments. Feel Blessed when you ask someone a question and they happily give you advice. When you are able to help another person, recognize the Beauty in this encounter. There is an infinite amount of knowledge in the World that is at our finger tips. If you are uncertain about something, guidance is around the corner.

7. Purpose

Everyone has a purpose. It just needs to be discovered. When we uncover our purpose we have a whole new outlook on Life and can approach each day with vigor and resolve. This is a true Blessing that we can uncover a purpose beyond ourselves. This may be one of the major reasons we are alive. Consider what you do best, what you desire to offer the world, and how you can make a difference, and start following your purpose.

8. Free Will

It’s an amazing thing to have free will. We can make choices that better our Life and have a sense of control. In this sense, we have control over our destiny. We can also make choices that will cause us to learn from our mistakes and become a better person. We can choose to have fun and pursue our goals at the same time. We are free to choose how to live our Life despite what others may say. This is a Blessing is used appropriately.

9. Abundance

We are made to experience abundance and have our Hearts desires. The Universe does not lack in any outlet. There is enough in the World for everyone. This relates to creative ideas, wealth, and influence. The world’s abundance may not be distributed equally, but don’t let that fool you, there is enough for everyone, including you!

10. Eternity

If there is one thing that is easily overlooked in our day to day hustle and bustle is that we are Eternal Beings in an Eternal World. We are here to live our a purpose until our bodies expire. There are many beliefs about what happens after we die, but one thing that seems persistent is the Eternity of time, and we are a part of this. We are Eternal and everlasting.

11. Love and Sorrow

Our relationships, friends, and family are something to be thankful for everyday. Having someone who can give us support and allows us to experience love and affection is such a Blessing. Whenever you develop a Loving relationship realize how much of a Blessing this is. Cherish relationships in all the joy and sorrow they provide. As the saying goes, “It’s better to have Loved and lost, than to have never Loved at all.”

12. Patience

When you are waiting in line, sitting in traffic, or anticipating a meeting, do you ever focus on these situations as a time to practice patience? It definitely requires a perspective shift to recognize what a blessing our ability to be patient is. Patience gives us a chance to be at Peace, experience the present moment, and remain contented in a World of immediate gratification. Next time you have an opportunity to be patient recognize it as a Blessing and use this capability.

13. Work

Work can seem like a pretty dirty word, but labor is a rewarding part of Life. I’m sure we have all complained about work at one point or another. Yet without work, where would we be? Work is the fiber of our lives, and when we find work that is fulfilling, it offers us a sense of purpose, meaning, and pride. Work is a blessing.

Adding more fruit and vegetables
to the diet may help people with depression.

The brain needs the right mix of nutrients to function properly.

The British Dietetic Association (BDA) outlines some dietary changes people with depression can make that may help prevent relapses:

eating unsaturated fats by cooking with olive or grapeseed oil and adding nuts and seeds to meals
avoiding trans fats found in processed meat, ready meals, cookies, and cakes
eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
eating protein with tryptophan, found in fish, poultry, eggs, and spinach
eating oily fish containing omega-3 oils or taking omega-3 supplements at least twice a week
drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day
avoiding caffeinated drinks, such as coffee and soda

The Flowers We Do Not See / Another Benefit of Aspirin

Posted on May 6, 2020 by asgtc

“Looking at people
Angels cry,
because they are not available
to what is available to us:
a sense of the moment.”
– Carlos Santana

The Flowers we do not see.

We climb many heights,
cross many bridges,
on our path
in Life.
And in so doing,
we pass by
so many beautiful Flowers,
and so many beautiful
People.

Unknowing,
unthinking,
our eyes
and our very Human Hearts
fail to recognize
the Gifts
God provides,
the Blessed bouquets
of Flowers and People
He Gifts
to us,
that we simply do not
see.

But it is
a choice
we make.
Awareness
is truly something
we need to become
more aware of.

Much like
all the Love
in our Hearts.

We
are simply
not aware
of all the Love
that is here,
and there,
and
everywhere.

My Dear Friends,
the words we Lovingly speak
can slowly turn
another World
to spin round and round.
Yes,
when you think
of all the Love
hidden deep inside,
is it really ever too late
to let Love
be our guide?

As you open wide
your arms
in warm embrace
of another to Love,
someone deeply in need,
the Gates of God’s Love
are flung open wide,
and the Love in your Life
is Heaven
to another in need
of Hope,
of the beautiful Flowers
planted by the seeds
of your thoughts,
of your compassionate
deeds.

“Have you ever watched a Sunrise
and felt you could not breathe?
What if it’s Him?
What if it’s God Speaking?”
– Ronnie C. Freeman. Jr.

How is it possible that such Radiance
as dwells within
can be unnoticed?
.
Let us rejoice,
that the Miracle of Beauty,
of our Heart Divine,
Loving ever thus,
beats within.

As your Life and your Love
are transfigured into
the Hopes and Dreams
of someone lost
in the space
between their thoughts,
their anguished moments,
of displeasure and pain,
can become
as a hammer
against cloth.

When somehow,
sameness is not the same,
if you play
and it’s not a game,
if Dreams
are filled with regret and pain,
please remember
the Creative Power
of all the Beautiful Love
that dwells hidden inside,
Gifted to us
from Above.

Goodnight.

“The stars are soft as Flowers,
and as near;
The hills are webs of shadow,
slowly spun;
No separate leaf or single blade is here –
All blend to one.”
– Dorothy Parker

The Aspirin – Cancer Link

Taking a low-dose aspirin daily is a common prescription for those at high risk for heart attack and stroke. Research within the last few years is pointing to another possible benefit of aspirin.

When taken regularly, it may also help reduce your risk for certain cancers, particularly colon and gastrointestinal cancers. The benefits, however, may still not outweigh the risks. Check with your Doctor.

World-renowned aspirin expert Professor Peter Rothwell of Oxford University and colleagues published three studies in The Lancet journal that suggested that if you are middle-aged, taking a low-dose aspirin every day could slash your risk for various cancers in as few as 2 to 3 years! According to Rothwell, taking an aspirin a day may also help to prevent an existing localized cancer from metastasizing (spreading to other parts of the body), a finding that holds promise for current cancer patients who may likewise receive some benefit from supplementing with aspirin.

A study published this year in JAMA Oncology showed that taking a low-dose aspirin every day may lower your risk for colon cancer by 19%, your risk for gastrointestinal cancer by 15% and your overall cancer risk by 3%. The benefits appeared after 6 years of supplementation.

Senior researcher Dr. Andrew Chan, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston explained: “That makes sense, because cancers don’t typically develop overnight. They take years to develop, so you would have to take aspirin for a long time to prevent cancer.“

According to Chan, aspirin impacts particular biological pathways that can cause cancer. Aspirin also helps to lower inflammation and possibly limit the number of cancer-causing proteins in the body.

The study analyzed data from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, which followed 130,000 men and women over 30 years. While no link between aspirin and a lower risk for breast, prostate, or lung cancers was found, data did seem to suggest that when aspirin was taken 2 or more times a week it might prevent 17% of colon cancer diagnoses for those not screened with a colonoscopy, and 5-8% of colon cancer cases for those who are.

A Deep Well Filled With Hope and Desire and Dreams / Add 7 Years To Your Life

Posted on April 28, 2020 by asgtc

Smiles across this Ocean give us direction.

Your tears
are raindrops
falling into your Soul.

Our Beautiful Song
of Life
says it all.

My Dear Friends,
follow the Pathway
to a place you know.
Yes,
every Journey
through the Sacred Reflections
of remembrance,
is long, long way to go.

But Smiles
across this Ocean
give us
direction,
to a Heart
coming Home.

When we meet,
in moments
filled with Loving memories,
the Light that is shed
free flows
from everything
said,
every moment that
Life
led us down the path
of Love.

We
have something
hidden deep inside
that no longer
needs to hide.

If we could see Life again,
do what we did,
trusting that God’s Will be done,
would Life begin again?
And,
how would it end?

To a Heart that’s coming Home.

Our Love
for each other,
is the most Beautiful
of all our experiences,
because it is not mere
translation or abstraction
from Life,
it is Life.

Life
emanates from Love,
because
it is
Love.
.
I wish I had the words
to tell you.
God’s Gift is Life,
and this Life
is His LOVE
for you.
You can tell everybody,
this Gift
is your Life,
too.

Your Love
will always be
a flame to burn
through Eternity.

The Radiance of Love.

Spiritual Love
is unconditional Love,
Love without circumstance,
without hesitation,
without condition.
This form of Love
is Divine.
It may be found
when one perceives
God in everyone.

My Dear Friends,
when Spirituality grows,
so does our capacity
for Love.

Spiritual Love
reveals the depth of a person.
Everyone
is like a deep well filled with
Hope and desire
and Dreams.

Our Love
for one another
leads us
down the Sacred Pathway
to the Divinity
of our own
Nature.

The Love
that dwells deep within
our Human Heart
is impossible to measure,
but,
it is something
we can truly Treasure.

Within you
dwells the Infinite Wisdom of the ages
and the Sacred Creative Force
of All that is,
or will be,
or ever was.

“Two things fill my mind
with ever-increasing wonder and awe,
the more often and the more intensely
the reflection dwells on them:
the Starry Heavens above me
and the Moral Law within me.”
– Immanuel Kant

We
are Eternally
and Divinely connected
by the Love of God
to everyone.

Your Smiles
are the open windows
of Love.
They reveal
the Magic and the Beauty
in and around
your Sacred Heart.
.
In every moment
lives the most Beautiful, tender shadow
of the Sun’s Love.
.
And,
from each precious moment
we have on this Earth,
we can give
to someone in need
the Heaven of Love
hidden deep inside
us.

In the Air of Life,
with the sounds of Love
flying in and around your Heart,
your Heartfelt expressions of Compassion
can
open the Window
of Love.

As we
turn the prose of Biology
into the Poetry
of the Human Spirit,
we redeem the darkness of this World
by the Radiance
of Love.

In and around
your Human Spirit.
lives a Blessed
and Sacred Person.

God
robes you
in the Garments of Love,
as you breathe new Life
into Being,
with the Radiance
of your Tender,
Loving,
Compassionate
words of care
and concern.

Goodnight.

“The loneliest people
are the kindest,
the saddest people
smile the brightest,
and the most damaged people
are the Wisest of all,
because they don’t wish to see others
suffer like they do.”
– Mark Woolley

Do These 3 Things,
and You’ll Add 7 Years to Your Life

by Sam Benson Smith

It’s common sense.

Certain conventional wisdoms about aging end up being pure fantasy (i.e. genes aren’t the primary determinant of how you age). Certain verifiable, statistically backed up aging wisdoms can end up being wrong as time goes on (i.e. married couples live longer).

These three healthy behaviors, in particular, are pretty much common sense by now, but it’s easy to forget just much they pay off: If you don’t smoke, maintain a moderate weight, and moderate your alcohol consumption, you will add seven additional years to your life.

The research, published in Health Affairs, surveyed 14,000 Americans ages 50-89 about their lifestyle choices every two years.

The study found that participants who never smoked and who never fell into the “obese” segment of the body mass index scale lived, on average, four to five years longer than the general population. The other segments of the BMI scale are categorized as “overweight,” “normal” and “underweight.”

Additionally, the study found that participants who moderated their alcohol consumption (seven drinks per week for women, 14 for men), saw a life expectancy bump of seven years. (As of last year, the average life expectancy for men and women in the United States was 76.3, and 81.2, respectively.) If you need to curb your consumption, here are 17 ways to cut back on alcohol.

Lead author of the study, Neil Mehta, explained that the research is not only about length of life, but quality of life, according to Health.com.

“While most of us want a long life, we probably would like those extra years of life to be healthy and productive. Behaviors matter, not only for how long you are going to live but also how healthy you are going to live those years.”
