PREPARING FOR THE TIMES AHEAD

Hello, my friends. Today I will be discussing what basic things you can be doing to prepare you, and your family, for what lies ahead.

There is no easy way to approach this topic. I’ve spent a lot of sleepless nights trying to figure out what to tell you, and how to serve you best. Remember that fear only overwhelms your brain. Please just remember it is best simply to have open eyes, and no fear.

As Jesus discuses in his LETTERS OF CHRIST, there are horrors ahead of you. There is simply no other way to say it, and I don’t think it is on your best interest to avoid the topic. You have big challenges ahead of you as a soul group.

Many people feel that things are coming. This is no secret to any of you. And the best way to deal with that feeling is to prepare yourself and your family to care for yourselves in your time of need.

As you’ve seen with your viral challenges that are happening now, supply lines are quite easily interrupted. It is important for you to now, while you can, prepare your homes with basic provisions for your family, and if possible, another family.

While some of you have this time at home with not a lot to do, develop a plan for food and water, and even toilet paper, for a period as long as you can financially support. Please don’t hoard. You still have time to work on this.

There are going to be a lot of people without homes who will need to be taken in by those who have homes. I encourage you to find a way to provide for another family in your home if you are able to do so. What you give away always returns to you.

You may feel like you are doing your best just to provide for yourself and your family. I know I am asking a lot. But I promise you, and you can try this out now to prove it, what you give in service to another will return to you.

Take this time to convert your milk and juice containers to water storage. Find a method you like of preserving the water from the material available online. Equip your home with some sort of water purification system.

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere where Spring is approaching, or in a temperate area where you can garden all year, this is a good time to learn to grow a garden. Hydroponic systems are now easily developed from ordinary materials such as PVC pipe. You can convert a sunny windowsill or deck to a garden spot, or use a light to grow food in your basement or anywhere you have space. There are many helpful instructions online.

Buy canned food as you are able to do so. Your sun is going into a phase where it could very easily knock out your power transmission systems with flares. Your governments have not prepared for this reality. Your frozen food will rot if this happens.

Even small gardens, producing easily grown leafy lettuces and spinach, will supplement your diets so you can remain healthy during the situations that will arise.

Check on your available bedding. If you have space, acquire enough bedding that you could make comfortable another family who may have no where to go.

Develop a good first aid kit for your family. This should go beyond your everyday bandaids to providing for sutures for lacerations and a means to splint broken bones if the need arises. There are thousands of YouTube videos to teach you these skills you can watch now.

Take the time to learn how to purify contaminated water, and avoid water-borne illness carried in standing water. Again, you have a huge, free library of videos to teach you these skills on YouTube.

Stock up on a basic supply of vitamins and minerals. If you can talk a doctor into a prescription for some basic antibiotics to store for an emergency situation, take the opportunity to do so. If you are able to do so, try to stock your family’s meds.

All of these are just basic, common sense things to do to be prepared to endure the different challenges that are ahead. There is no need to hoard or dig shelters to escape. There is nowhere to go to escape. We will get through these challenges together.

Please remember that as we serve each other in times of crisis, we change the future reality for all of us. If we hold strong in love and compassion for all, not just those we agree with, we create a new, and better situation with our energetic output.

American Warrior – Heart of Fire!

Published March 23, 2020 by tindertender

“Take the Americans Alive” … when the intercepted Taliban radio message was translated. Senior Airman Dustin Temple was sure as hell he’d never let that happen. For 48 hours, Temple and the rest of his Special Forces team fought off an overwhelming force.

When the enemy got close, he called in dangerous close airstrikes. When they ran low on ammunition, he sprinted from cover to a resupply chopper for more. When his friends were shot, he dragged them to safety.

For his heroism and critical role in turning the tide in battle, Senior Airman Temple was awarded the Air Force Cross. Serving with the 21st Expeditionary Special Tactics Squadron in Helmand Province, Afghanistan from 27 to 29 September, 2014.

As overwhelming hostile fire continually suppressed his team, Airman Dustin Temple broke the assault on many occasions with danger close air support from F-16’s, AH-1’s, AC-130’s and an MQ-1.

Following a teammate being gravely wounded by a sniper, he put himself directly in the line of fire, and dragged his wounded comrade from the rooftop. With the evacuation helicopter inbound, Airman Temple again risked his own life to save his teammate.

Senior Airman Temple carried him across one-hundred meters of open terrain. Despite overwhelming and accurate enemy machine-gun fire, he remained on the open landing zone, providing covering fire while his teammates pulled back.

After he returned to the compound, enemy fighters surged within 40 meters after intercepted communications stated,”Take the Americans alive.” Temple immediately directed F-16’s in danger close strafing runs, killing one insurgent and repelling the assault.

As supplies dwindled, he braved open terrain again to retrieve critical needed ammunition from a re-supply helicopter. With continuous machine-gun fire, he and a teammate sprinted into the open and dragged the supplies off the aircraft.

However, unable to carry the entire load, they withdrew back to cover. Airman Temple called in close fires from F-16’s to cover his team as they went out to retrieve the remaining ammunition.

Despite the continuous heavy enemy machine-gun fire, Sr.Airman Temple and two men again ran into the open terrain to retrieve the remainder of the supplies for a second time.

At the end of the 48-hour engagement, he controlled 28 attack helicopters and 20 fixed wing assets for a total of 26 engagements while safely employing munitions at danger close-range 75 times.

Airman Temple’s heroic and selfless actions directly resulted in confirmed 10 enemy fighters killed, and another 8 estimated killed, while saving the lives of 38 friendly forces.🇺🇸

Changing Reality

Which is why complaining about current affairs and administrations is a severe waste of energies. Rather, we should focus on banding together and creating an example “they” can follow.

Everything Is Going To Be Okay

Published March 20, 2020 by tindertender

“You will lose everything. Your money, your power, your fame, your success, perhaps even your memories. Your looks will go. Loved ones will die. Your body will fall apart. Everything that seems permanent is impermanent and will be smashed. Experience will gradually strip away everything that it can strip away. Waking up means facing this reality with open eyes and no longer turning away.

But right now, we stand on sacred ground, for that which will be lost has not yet been lost, and realizing this is the key to unspeakable joy. Whoever or whatever is in your life right now has not yet been taken away from you. This may sound trivial, obvious, like nothing, but really it is the key to everything, the why and the wherefore of existence. Impermanence has already rendered everything and everyone around you so deeply holy and significant and worthy of your heartbreaking gratitude.

Loss has already transfigured your life into an altar.”

— Jeff Foster

Admittal and Shared Powers

Published March 19, 2020 by tindertender

I refuse to give my attention to things that limit me or deny my wholeness. To all life I am connected. I understand the sexual flow within me to be the fuel of creation that can be channeled for those purposes I hold within my heart. I value this life force and direct it toward Right Relationship with ALL beings.

I let go of those things I no longer value, keeping that which I love and for which I can care. These things bring me comfort, support and help according to their purpose. I possess only by nature of my caring. With my wealth, I support the things I believe in, the things that enhance life upon My Planet. I withdraw this support from those things and institutions that bring harm to living beings.

I accept the Powers within me.

The arrow of my mind I aim toward God. Bow in hand, I am ready for anything I encounter. So filled am I with caring, I welcome challenge. I have words to guide me. I have a voice that can be heard. I can see the distant target and feel certain my aim. I have thought, and thought is my Power. I have will, and I will do. From my mind I weed all doubt, for the experience of life will be my teacher and falling, I will pick myself up; noticing error, I will make correct. I can do what I will, for I trust the will of the highest, which is known within me.

Words can heal or steal. Tact and Right Timing are part of speaking Truth.

You are not words themselves. You are in control of them. They are your tools. You will become the Master Craftswoman/man with them. Words describe life, but you are the willpower behind them. Only you can act on them.

Aim to take Command.

I/We must act with devotion, giving the most unselfish love. This is the ritual, or disciplined offering that must be made in order to reach full potential, to cross the bridge and experience Rebirth.

Share the wealth when sharing seems right.

Remember gifts received in hard times. Share with those who gifted them.

Teach your skills and share your creations.

Embody ideas from Creator on how to bring Peace and Comfort to the world.

Create beauty, support Love, actualize the Truth that ALL are worthy of care.

Response-ability is the Power that replenishes the world.

Gifts offered are also gifts offered to the Earth Mother.

Really Seeing Myself

Published March 18, 2020 by tindertender

I have roommates, two of them. One roommate in particular does not to pick up after himself in the kitchen. I’m constantly riding him about cleaning up when he’s finished.

Last night he warmed his leftovers. He offered to share, and I partook.

Later, I went into the kitchen to see pan and cookie sheet with food on them still on the stove. I hollered at him, “you going to clean up and put dishes in dishwasher?”

Several hours went by. I went to kitchen and dishes were still on stove. For a brief moment I was irritated and then I thought, wait a minute.

This man cooked dinner. He shared it with me. And then I hollered at him to clean up the mess?

Wow.

I saw myself clearly. What an ungrateful wench I was behaving as! How dare I allow him to cook, partake in the meal, and then expect him to clean.

Am I a queen?

Well … yes.

Which is precisely why I woke him up and apologized for this unthoughtful behavior. How weird that I didn’t even notice what a twit I was being.

It’s these things, these habitual spoutings off without really thinking.

Aahhh coming fully conscious isn’t always pleasant, especially when you see the patterns which need altering.

This goes for all humanity. We get into patterns, habits, and then from there, we determine all other patterns are somehow faulty.

Wrong.

Acceptance is a difficult thing. Especially when we are used to always “being right”.

Own it.

Reversing the KARMA from Hoarding Supplies

Great suggestion to reverse karma of hoarding necessary supplies. Be a blessing, not a sore.

Please….to the people that have bought up all the TP, hand wash, paper towels and milk. Walk down your block, go to someones door and ask them if there’s anything they may need. Then OFFER FOR FREE what you have, if they don’t need it fine, move on next door. Just don’t do this one time, one house, keep going, give some of that up. Walk around several blocks, get in your car drive to a different part of town where it might look like other’s may be in need of help.

I bet ya what, It’ll make you feel better for doing the wrong you did in the first place. You don’t have to know the people you help, you may even make a new friend or two. In times like this, people help people, neighbors help neighbors, and as for color, THERE IS NO COLOR IN THE WORD HELP OTHERS.❤️✌️
