prayer 7.24.15

so many dreams early this morning, yet i feel rested, realizing need to connect with land again.  orchards and gardens afford time of respite, plantings grow in nature’s cultivation supplemented by our contribution, participation, selection.  it is our choice, what types of plants thrive, placement on the land, how they grow affected by our input.  ABa is Gracious to Bless Engagement, Sustaining LIFE in every place.

involvement connects us to become part of the land.  there is much work to be done yet there is also room to sit back when we must, to work on other things.  shifting gears requires conscious choice, i am adjusting to so many shifts requiring accommodation, rearrangement from slave mode to Free mode.  it is my own defining but it takes a different mind set, thus adapting to assimilate in Balance Of LIFE is needed.

it is what IS at the moment, so many obstructions in stream of Living require reintegration, understanding, mastery.  we live in a very confused generation, our government no longer serves the people but oppresses, it is abused, corrupted.  like all empires before us, we are near collapse, end, conclusion.  how we live is non-sustainable.  small factions are trying to Right things, very few have courage to live as we are meant.  i am questioning my own strength in conviction, examining my commitment to LIFE, to see where i stand.

as thoreau stated, “Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison”.  gandhi spent many a day in prison, as did thoreau, unwilling to sell out to corruption, standing up for Rightfulness.  we are not free according to thoreau, “There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly”

“just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor… to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed.  It can have no pure right over my person or property but what I concede to it… progress toward a true respect for the individual… to regard the individual as the basis of the empire.”  we are certainly far from this ideal and statement, used by the state, corporate america does not regard nor respect the individual as Rightful, it bows to mammon.

to imagine that we are free is but lunacy when we really are not.  what we may have is an illusion of freedom that is not grounded in Reality.  ABa’s Governance is Complete Freedom, Granting Full Right in Freewill Of Choice.  we may even choose death and destruction, ABa Honors the opposition Completely.  thus, we are here, in our state of being, inundated with confusion, death, decay, sickness, destruction, close to extinction, all of our own choosing, yet we blame God!  how stupid!?  insane?!  but that is what we are, coming apart from LIFE GIVER, Truth AS IS, Reality.

it is our choice always, to choose LIFE or death, Good or bad.  ABa does not the coercing, we do so, out of fear, sense of inadequacy, trying to control LIFE when we have no Jurisdiction, Genuine Authority, Righteousness.  ABa ONLY Is Faithful In Devotion Upholding Right, Goodness Secured in Authentic Entitlement.  the created has vested rights Accorded by LIFE GIVER, Upheld in Truth AS IS.  every thing Belongs to LIFE, Source Of Being, Original Parent, ABa ShaMaYM YaHWaH, Blessing Of Strength.  i feel grateful for this Fact, untainted by human presumption, Pure, Natural, AS IS, Changeless Foundation Remains despite our failures, errors, confusion.

prayer 7.21.15

stubbornness gives Way to Reason, Facility, Suitable Usefulness, Beneficial Advantage in ABa’s Provisions.  i am the hard headed one, ABa Persuades With Gentle Mercies, Magnanimous Overseeing, Guiding in Way Faithful, Surpassing Kindness, Constant Forgiveness.  i feel grateful to be Connected, Associating With LIFE GIVER, Sustained in ABa’s Continuous Care, Ceaseless Regard, Trustworthy Resolve.  refusal really gets us no where, ABa Desires Best and Finest for us, Settling in True Merit, Virtue Overflows in Joyful Embrace, Ready Acceptance, Warm Reception.

i feel grateful for ABa’s Consistent Guidance, Leading in Way Excellent, Appealing to Understanding in Wisdom Foremost, Highest Preeminence.   i have no problem with ABa’s Regulation, Governance, what i loath is human limitations, restrictions, lawlessness.  systems we inherit are failing, defunct, flawed, collapse is inevitable, there is nothing man made that is sustainable.  we are simply another cycle coming to close, ending in crisis like all the other previous generations.  Revival Is ONLY Possible in ABa’s Restoration.  humanity is not able to extricate itself from ruin, death, lifelessness, destruction.

Hope can ONLY Be With ABa Source Of Being, i feel grateful for ABa’s Patience, Long Suffering Nature, Spirit Indomitable, Resolved in Settlement Of Peaceful Mercy.  forest is shining in bright sunlight, leaves sparkling in morning glow, bird songs replaced by ringing of cicadas, we are very still amid woods surrounded by ohias.  every thing is growing in ABa’s Constant Cultivation, i feel Enlivened in ABa’s Sustenance.  Courage Faithful, Defense Secure, ABa Substantiate in Truth AS IS, Settle in Union Of Agreement Harmonized in Balance Suitable, Integrated in Assimilation, Recognized in Understanding Appreciation, Genuine Authenticity.

we are privileged to be called by ABa’s Name, children of Creation Gathered Cherished In ABa’s Integrity, Fulfilling Satisfaction Meeting each one Face to face.  Encirclement is Complete, none is left out, Conclusion is Near, we may witness fruit of our own choosing carried out to Finish.  i feel grateful for ABa’s Justice, Honest Dealing with every child given LIFE Made Room for in Freedom Of Decision, Granted Freewill Of Choice to manifest every potential.  opposers are Embraced, Sustained in Equitable treatment, Given same Advantage, Benefit, Blessing Of LIFE.  ABa True Witness of every motive, thought, action, result.  Unrestrained LOVE, Complete Acceptance Gather all in Forgiveness, taking no offense to opposition that cheat, steal, kill, destroy.

Settlement is Sure, Balance Paid In Full, Free Of Charge, unlike human systems that enslave, humiliate, oppress, demean.  ABa Uplifts in Fulfillment Of Joyful Resolution no matter the offense.  Magnanimity does not count like humans, ABa Absolving every thing, Giving Rest in Restoration Of LIFE Complete.

prayer 6.7.15

our neighbor is setting up for a huge graduation party for his daughter.  pam our other neighbor teased that we should get away when it happens.  i feel ABa is preparing for us to take an excursion today when the festivities unfold.  it’s been a journey with peter and his family, coming to respect.  his parties of late have been more subdued but still drunken nonetheless but seems more considerate.  we have grown accustomed to the noise, yelling, fights, cursing.  i know ABa is Gracious to them, as is to every one.  we learn to suffer alongside, yielding patience, understanding, tolerance.  gandhi used to say about choice in non-violation as one that demonstrates through suffering, reflecting consequence of a choice in action, even the most calloused will eventually be penetrated, touched, softened.

i witness this happening, building, bridging gap so that an understanding of hearts can be reached.  we live in a very yin place with lots of rains, surrounded by greens.  ABa brings Balance every place.  diet certainly affect us because what we take in turns into blood, life that flows to feed every cell, thus a good diet is imperative for healthfulness.  i am seeking Balance.  with days without rains, we enjoy sunshine, drying the rainforest, but such days make transplants difficult.  there is also balance of work, rest, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.  much is growing, but a greater variety of edible greens is needed, drawing minerals from the earth to supply body which needs minerals, trace elements to function properly.  ABa’s Gifts are Simple, Rich with Answer, meeting our need.  ABa’s timing Succinct, always Perfect.  i feel grateful for this match in suitability, correspondence, agreement, partnership in union.

there needs to be a return to indigenous, original, local, naturally occurring things, native to a place, homegrown, uncontrived, not imported, engendered in Simplicity, functioning to encompass basic needs.  things that will grow naturally locally are best for environ and peoples because it does not entail struggle to produce against nature.  when we favor to choose Simplicity, easeful, plain, clean, clear, comprehensible, natural, without need for pretense, we may perhaps be more true, honest, abstemious, disciplined, gentle, moderate, reasonable, curbing appetite to match what is wholesome, offered from rejuvenated soils filled with LIFE.  currently we are inundated by perversions of all types, causing all manner of illness physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.  when our intake is cleaned up, aligning with Genuine, unadulterated, reasonable productions that does no harm to the planet, other species, body, mind spirit, we will reap healthful results.

i feel i am out of Balance, these two days experimenting with ethiopian and east indian recipes that i am not familiar with.  inundated by over spicing, causing body to become irritated.  whole form foods is definitely preferred.  i have learnt a great deal in this short span of time, and realize traditionally, locally eaten foods are best served Balanced.  i come from south east asian culture but growing up in this era, much adulteration of living has already occurred.  to learn to return to Original Way requires some undoing, rehabilitation, acculturation that is attuned to what is Best, Finest, Natural, Useful, Suitable, producing Good Results.  i am still finding this Balance, Home, Mark, missing greatly along the Way but nonetheless True, Rightful, Faithful, Realistic Authenticity is the Goal.  to return one generation, perhaps two, is akin to study of the ancients, we, losing sight of Simplicity, living such complex lives inundated by artificial imitations in plastics, contrived, forced, insincere, we have become as stiff as the things that we imbibe daily.

hollow, pretentious, strained, fabricated seems the norm in society.  we are no longer natural, local, homegrown, real.  to meet a real person is rare, one that is down to earth, simple, yet wise in Acceptance at the same time.  Complete Authenticity, Genuine Truth is Heartfelt, unfeigned, palpable.   i have opportunity to live in Simplicity daily, eat locally grown foods in its complete whole forms.  my artificial conceptions took time and effort to dismantle, so that what is perceived may be more true to nature, accepting of circumstances with Graciousness, Magnanimity.  i live a more Substantial, Real life today than i did a few years ago, i feel grateful for this shift into the natural.  looking back at pictures of our life reveals how out of touch we were with Reality, Truth, Veracity, Candor, Validity, Principle Of Certitude.  insulated in synthetic substitutions, living in unnatural false environs, i remember our windows were always closed to the outside, with central air or heating running constant.  nothing we consumed were produced locally, things we wore and used were all made somewhere else, from plastics.

i remember feeling rather superficial, not able to penetrate deeper things, my worldly education molded me to conform to propaganda, not Truth.  how ABa managed to reach me, extricating our family from such contradiction, deviant way of living, corruption, i may never know.  what i know is i get to live LIFE in Reality Centered In Truth today.  surrounded by lush tropical fauna, flora, we are engaged in this little vibrant place, contributing, learning from the land, animals, plants.  our fingers get dirty, feet muddied, constantly covered in fresh forest air, at end of day washed in pure water, imbibing whole natural feedings nourished in ABa’s Provisions, Guided Constant in ABa’s Instruction, Leading, Illumination.  we get to live simply, with minimal needs, ABa’s Provisions in sunshine, fresh air, pure water, whole foods from the land, place of Rest, work, play engenders productiveness, creativity, understanding, Acceptance.  i love this Real Way Of Living compared to how i used to live.  LIFE touching us every moment imbued in Freshness, Cogency, Relevance.  i feel grateful for every Provision ABa Blesses.  today, we take a journey to kona, sandy beach side of island, crossing over saddle road flanked by two tallest mountains on the globe.  our island made up of clustering of volcanic isles raised from the sea floor.  i feel grateful for ABa’s Constant Conveyance, Meticulous Devotion, Eternal Steadfastness that is my Confidence, Reliance, Trust.  ABa’s Will be Done always for us AMeN.
