Time doesn't FLY... it JETS

                                    Time seems to go by faster than ever all the time, right?

      I got to thinking about that today... The reason is because life is more hectic with more being forced to our attention... It's like a quiet day at work can make the day seem long, but a really busy one speeds past

That can be ok sometimes, but not all the time, as it tends to be IN LIFE these days... sometimes becoming just a big smear which is like a blur but denser and harder to see the Light through when you need a focal point

Homelessness ... DON'T BE IGNORANT

as i said IP #1

A LOT of the time they get some help for a while then the advocates and social workers don't show up because the decided they don't get paid enough or don't really care about their JOB, and doctors start leaving them without the treatment or medications because they went on vacation and never even rescheduled an appointment or transportation to the clinics they need doesn't show up and they get the blame and get their benefits cut out off...They are constantly bullied and beaten down by just about everyone including others who are in their situation and steal their medications and whatever else they can get their hands on, and by police and staff at shelters and "decent" people who say they are just milking the system and complain that they need t get a job...

If they are going to get help it needs to be a safe place to sleep at night and regular treatment... They can't be coping with trying to beat the mental illness (which is often due to violence or prolonged stress) or drugs while fending for themselves in a life or death situation all the time, and trying to do the loophole dances the system puts them through so they can just kick them back into the streets

I know many kinds of people from many walks of life... but this has taken my attention more than any others because people simply do not understand

INVISIBLE PEOPLE 2
Susan Wyman Because they feel no sence of pride when someone else does it all for them... It makes them feel like children but they have been through too much to go back to being treated or viewed as a child (in any sence of the word), They have lived in a warzone which most other "decent" people really can't relate to...I'm sure he felt guilty for taking what you had to give...

They just need to be in a safe place and able to get the treatment and guidance they need without all the hassles and threats all the time...and to be treated with respect, as people who are survivors of the war they are living or have survived so far.

Most of the time whatever money they get goes right to rent on their shelter and their food stamps go to a program where they cook and serve the food in a cafeteria and the quality can be really bad and the amount really scant... different cooks every month or so..They don't get to choose what they will eat day to day... They are treated like prisoners... Most of time having to go through signing in and out at the front door ... ( Which is understandable, but to eat what what they want and need ...maybe buffet style with choices... would be nice)

They need to have a few dollars left after paying the rent to get the other things they need... and just because they are poor doesn't mean they don't want and need the basic things that everyone else has... including toilet paper, and dish soap. ..

You probably brought him into your home like he was a dependent child and one of the family...but it was too much for him... to much the opposite extreme, all at once... from "strangers" He felt as uncomfortable there as you would living the life he has led... These things need to be transitioned slowly and steadily... with a safe hassle free environment, regular treatments with no loopholes, and some money left after the rent is paid... and a lot of respect for the fact that they are able to survive things average people have never experienced and never will

PS ... GET A JOB... GO TO COLLEGE... MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOURSELF.. uh yeah

I had a friend who struggled to pay her way through college continuing to raise her kids, to become a teacher and in the end, she ended up as a salesclerk. She is very intelligent and got good grades but there were no job openings and later if she wanted to try again, she had to have more college because things had changed. She couldn't just move and try to reorient the kids and herself (alone) and risk that not working out... nor could she even afford to make a move

... and another intelligent, decent woman, who went to college and struggled through, being told they had job placement and she was guaranteed a job when she got out... but all she got was bills and a minimum wage job ...at least that's how it stands 10 years after her graduation, with good grades...

And both of these women came from middle class families but ended up divorced when their husbands decided to pick up with a younger woman and take off, because they said worked hard and wanted to have some fun and someone to go along with them ... and this is the kind of thing the kids of this world are going through

This is one-sided because I am not saying how it is for men, but often times, you can just insert he and him instead or she and her

THE WAY

It never made sence to me that JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS... That he PAID THE PRICE for our sins..

This is how I see it (as best I can convey it tonight)

People were paying for animal sacrifices that were given to the priests to eat, as if the priests would put in a word for them so their prayers would be answered and their salvation would be guaranteed. They did make a sacrifice of money that could have been used for other things they needed or wanted, so they WERE going without something, but it had nothing to do with sacrificing lusts of the ego or from Love.., but more as a duty

So in essence, it always seemed to me that if people were thinking that Jesus died for us and paid the price for our sins, that they were still doing as they had been doing but replacing many animal sacrifices with the ultimate Sacrifice (Jesus) and still going through rituals and continuing to pay money to the churches that provide for the priests (still paying money for that one Ultimate Sacrifice) to those whom they believe would intercede on their behalf.... (So much for having a personal relationship with God!)

But Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb to be the example.... I AM THE (animal) SACRIFICE and you need to be the sacrifice too... to teach us that the only way to become one with God was to be willing, with Love, to sacrifice the lusts of personal ego, by giving and doing all for Love consciously and by choice, directly ... Sacrificing the lusts of the Ego for the Love of God

I was always taught that this is not something anyone can do for you... That you have to do it yourself... following the example Jesus gave... LOVING and not acting from the Ego... and the way to Eternal Life is through HIS EXAMPLE... Because his heart was not on finite material gains or lusts, but on the Spirit within, and Eternal Life....Therefore through his lessons, his example, he is the Way, the Truth and the Life ever-lasting... because he was one with these things, just as an evil person is one with their evil deeds....They ARE the evil they do
