“Other Pressing Matters” seems to be the Reason/ Excuse that is common today when there has been a lapse in fulfilling a commitment. Nevertheless, I will start this post begging forgiveness from my faithful readers for this delay.
Give me a few lines to get this back up and running again. … Thank you!
Now approaching my seventh decade, I do not profess to know all about these Spirituals, nor have what I do know, working perfectly in my life. Now not to be redundant, yet it helps to reiterate some things for those of you who are just coming aboard and have not yet caught the direction we are endeavoring to pursue. This will also help some of you ‘Regulars’ to stay abreast without going back to be refreshed.
Allow me to say that you do not need to embrace these thoughts completely as I present them to you. Nevertheless, be as smart as a cow and eat the hay and spit out the (What you believe are) sticks. Most of you, who find interest here, are more than (likely) old enough, to have been around the John several times and know how to flush it! As this is Labor Day, please rest and do not labor! :-)
OK Regulars! One more and we will get on with this thought for today.
We are talking about people of different belief systems engaging in any kind of Business venture.
See post where ‘Groups’ are discussed. CLICK HERE
(Also see labels down in the left sidebar, “Groups”)
Scripture refers it to an ox and mule being yoked together to pull a load. “2Cor 6:14” Most of the times it is used in reference to Spiritual convictions in marriage. e.g. Can you believe that Mary Matalin & James Carville are married to each other. She is a ‘Rather Die Than Change’ Conservative and advisor to many in the Republican Party and he is an ultra Liberal who works with the Democrats. I do not know their spiritual conviction, but their jobs pit themselves against each other. Both are good at what they do, one can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors.
The reason to bring them up is, again to know that there are ‘Exceptions’ to every rule. So as things we discuss, start to line up and make sense, do not put yourself in a box that you cannot smell the roses, because of the fertilizer.
From last post and talking about going to the mail box and not thinking about bills per se. The $10 off coupon meant little to some of you, Nevertheless, Money is coming this way. I just deposited checks for over $26K the bills are paid before they come in the mail and still getting useful coupons on a regular basis.
There is hesitation to continue in this direction, as many will take a (or their) Situation and locked into their own filters, will choose, subconsciously to write off anything herein revealed. Nevertheless, I will pursue this angle for the few that get it.
A friend of mine brought up that in the J.O.B. work force today it is very fortunate to find a direct supervisor that has the same convictions. Those who do, still have to realize that their supervisor and/or owner may be coming from an opposite perspective. Another reason why so many are looking for an opportunity to be self employed and/or work from home. What does one do, when they find themselves in that kind of situation? Without God’s Favor group one will so often panic or look on the situation with an eye toward darkness and the preverbal half full glass.
Do not get huffed up, as I also know there are those of you that are out of bed with your glass not only half-full, knowing it will soon be running over.
“I am drinking from the saucer, as my cup runneth over!”
Now again failing to upset group 1, let us see how we do with Group 2. Those who do not know or understand the personal favor of God, may or may not see or understand that those positive outlooks, i.e. perspectives, (Eye of light), Nevertheless, act on those divine laws and either watch their thoughts, (to begin with) but more importantly what is coming out of their mouth.
This affords them favor with the Universe, their concept and/or ‘a Doorknob’ that they believe in. It is an actuality as valid and powerful as Gravity.
Let me finish this post today with, how mind boggling it is that there are those in both groups that choose not the full advantage there is knowing God. Like James & Mary above who apparently have found ‘Work Arounds’. Group one passing on by the ‘Joint participation’ with God and HIS laws and Group two who pass on knowing HIM Personally through HIS SON Jesus The Anointed ONE!
In the next post, I will endeavor to give examples what one in either group may do when they find themselves un-equally yoke with another of a different belief system.

V More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems
OK!
We have established a few things, thus far. 1. My Agenda, (Below); 2. There is more than two realms, (also Below); 3. There are at least ten dimensions, (also Below); 4. We are what we think, (also Below); 5. Most all things that are available need to be appropriated, (also Below); … Things like gravity need not be appropriated, Nevertheless, we are still govern by it! 6. The Sub-Conscientious is creative, and will do what it has to, to keep us safe and comfortable, i.e. in the ‘Loop Mode, In fact read the Post below before starting on this one!
There is a need to mention that influences part of this is blind spots called scotomas that do not allow us to see reality. Differ you may, Nevertheless, here is an example. Read the following sentence and when you are done, count the f’s and write your count down, close by for future reference.
Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of many years.
I need to move on to the next thing that is a part of what the Creative Sub- Conscientious does to keep us in that ‘Loop Mode’ that will keep us from prospering. This is all areas of our lives, though I will hone in on The Business aspect for the benefit of these thoughts. The next thing we will look at is what comes out of our mouth, i.e. what we say. Now I have addressed this way back in the beginning of this Blog.
The next aspect to consider, as we proceed down this path of discovering what hinders our change for the better, in business is what we do with what and how we think. Self-Talk is an important part on how we see and understand the realm in which we walk. This is what each individual calls (His or Her) Reality.
We are always ‘Thinking’ in the first person, as, I am going to do this, (or That) or I should not have done that, or Oh Oh you have messed up now, etc.
By monitoring our Self-Talk we can tell if we are changing our perspective of our self, hopefully for the better. Or in the sameO rut of ‘Loop Mode’.
Now if you do not believe this is true then there is not much use of you taking this any futher. On the other hand should this start to make sense then continue to follow along, as I give more data with what you can work into your understanding.
Before we stop writing this post, do you remember how many f’s you counted in the sentence above? Did you get 3 or even 4? Next time we will tell you how many and why.

AND More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems
Let us get back to the two groups that have the same measure of faith from June 21. There is a reason why believers never enter into ‘The Kingdom’ and for the same reason non-believers do.
This is a good time for a commercial break and to hear from my Sponsor. The Banking Industry, Treasury Department, FBI etc., train their people to recognize counterfeit money by handling the real thing over and over again that later when a phony bill passed thru their hands, they instantly knew it was wrong. Over three decades ago, bowed down to Alcohol, A Filthy Mouth and Tobacco I was looking for ‘The Answer’. Saved at eleven, tho never grounded in The Word, if I died I did not know what would happen to me. See my Story starting HERE.
I was looking everywhere for the answer. I read a book on Buddhism and was two-thirds thu it when I was supposed to understand some concept (To Continue.) and knew I had missed something. It was boring. (To me.) I was not going to start over again to get back where I could finish the book and that was the end of that. By The Way! Budda was dead 500+- years before man made him a god. Jesus walk here on earth and Said, “I AM”! (John 8:58) This is Important for keeping up to speed on these thoughts.
Up until 2 or three years ago I stayed in the Word of God and anytime something contrary to what God Said would come up, I would by instinct (By those years of training in Truth only.) go right to the passage that had already proven to me, (Hey! That is another great thought to elaborate on later!) and know how to refute the un-truth. OK End Of Commercial!
We spoke on Paul recognizing that some were worshiping God, yet knew Him not. Here is where the first group is going to get their feathers ruffled again. We spoke last time on God has revealed Himself to all and are without excuse. (Rom.1:19-20) Stay with me now!
Mankind has come to know that ‘Likes’ attract each other. Do Not argue, … how many maxims do you know that say, ‘Birds of a feather, flock together’, in one way or another? This is in both groups. Call a youngster a dummy long enough and he or she will soon ‘Know’ they are!
So, … everyone knows of God or chooses not too. They ancient sages understood Who He was and learned His Laws mostly by intuition and if not, by trial and error.
Luk 16:8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.
B U T ! Most did not ‘Know’ Him Personally, until God showed Himself in The Person of Jesus The Anointed! (Christ). Tho Not Knowing Him Personally they DID understand HIM and HIS Ways. Paul counted himself a debtor to all, (Rom. 1:14) no doubt a master &/or sage in Truth from other Philosophies and/or Religions.
Enough so, that to him it was mandatory that he repay that knowledge by introducing all to God in the Person of God’s only Son Jesus. Reciprocity, another law as valid as gravity! Luke 6:38
Now to, … group two, like those in group one who do not believe and do not partake in all that God has in His kingdom, you can partake of the kingdom and all its benefits and wind up in Hell should you not accept what was done for you on The Cross. We have been down that road many times here.
What is a crying shame is all those in the first group on their way to heaven and never participating in HIS kingdom while here on earth.
I will talk about that next time! Be Blessed, 1 aka DP
