X Final Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Now we need to get on with the Final Touches. Hang on as this may get Hairy.

Let me preface this again that there are always “Exceptions To The Rules”, Nevertheless, lets take these next … Items at face value only. Mary Matalin & James Carville, which I brought up last time, is a perfect example. Group 1, will hold to ‘Not Being Un-Equally Yoked’ to hold true in Business as well, as the main Item of Marriage. Group 2 more than likely will not want to be tied up either in Business or Marriage with those of Group 1, for no other reason than the possible fanaticism of Group 1. (Though Group 2 can & will be adamant in their positions, too!)

How far does either group cross over the line would be 3 or 4 Tomes of itself. Therefore, I will just head off into the conclusion for this thought with this:

All! i.e. of all groups need to understand what they believe and also to know that should you cross over that line, (Whatever It May Be.) you will be compromised in your endeavors. The negative influence &/or force, will under most normal circumstances defeat the fruition of any direction, based on nothing other than Scriptural Teachings, that co-inside with what the Sages of the other understandings have been saying for centuries.

The resulting consequences and/or circumstances were lessons to be learned and the choice remains with the decision maker, and to how each situation will either bless with an opportunity that has been revealed, or the curse that was more than likely thought of to begin with. Job said, “What I feared has come upon me!” And hand in hand, “Happy is he that condemns not what he does!”

Now it is your turn! Call me on any of the premises that I have laid out and we will go to the Scripture and Sages to confirm what I have laid out.

Have a blessed Day! 1 aka, DP

IX More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

“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.

VIII More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

I will continue here, to make these thoughts an advantage and applicable to you in business. (See Post below.) Regardless of what group you belong to, … if I have not offended you thus far, give me a chance. … Just kidding!

Knowing and understanding these thoughts, i.e. my thoughts written herein and/or those of someone who has read this, is an advantage on which to act. Now one will be aware that the largest power working against the business is the subconscious mind. Its creative endeavors will keep one from stretching and becoming uncomfortable. The application is never allow it to have its way and deliberately do those things that will be conducive to production and /or fruition.

Do not get me wrong, as I know the competition will do what it can to eliminate any rivalry. There are other factors also working against success, though I will stick with the issue at hand. i.e. I will become my own worst enemy, should I not be paying attention to what I am thinking to begin with and for sure what is coming out of my mouth. [*1]

This is a applicable to all areas of life, though I will address business per se. When thinking, ‘This will never work’, shift the thoughts to, ‘What are all the reasons why this WILL Work’!

On the way to the mailbox in the past, would bring the thoughts, ‘How many bills today?’ Before my trip to the mailbox today, I was already thinking of all the checks made out to me that would be in it. Guess What? There were no bills there today. Say, what you want, Nevertheless, I was not drawing any bills to me by thinking about them. Say what you want, that is Victory! In fact, there was a $10 OFF coupon in the mail today.

Allow me to finish this post with; “Not that I have this working perfectly in my life!” Nevertheless, “This is a manifested reality that I partake of Daily!”

Before I return, make a comment. Refute my perspective and/or ask a question! As I close this post, be it known that, “I Shall Return!” Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

Scriptual Re: NKJV

[*1] Mar 11:23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. :24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

VII More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Thank you for returning and I will continue with my thought:

What do I do about the ‘Loop Mode’ and how do I implement change for my betterment?

Remember that the subconscious looks on what we are thinking, as reality. Even though, consciously we know that what we are thinking about is not real.

After explaining the trap of revisiting, rehearsing and reinforcing those thoughts and giving Scriptural examples, my friend asked, do I have times that the thought &/or direction seems to disappear? When I answered yes, she wanted to know what I did in that situation.

Now after establishing the thinking process that I will explain below, as my way of life, I stop where I am at, knowing that I am wandering down the path of my choosing. I check in with my LORD and look for the proper order of direction. One of two things happens. After a few seconds, (Though at times it seems like an hour.) I become aware of a new direction or the seemingly lost thought now quickened and I will continue on, now plugged back into Devine Inspiration.

Before I go any further here, I need to reflect again, how exciting it is to write my thoughts. In order to put them to words, they go through a process that even clarifies my beliefs to my self. Keep in mind that should you not believe what I am explaining, then it will not be true for you, even though the Devine Laws that my thoughts are based on will continue in your life anyway. You will be oblivious to them.

Again, my thoughts are not that anyone would believe as I do. Yet, may they allow you to see what has been going on in your own life and afford you an opportunity to do something about it.

Explaining to my friend, in reflection, when speaking in the past and wishing I had not said, what came out of my mouth. There was (and is again when needed.) an ongoing discipline of what I call ‘The Four ‘R’s’. Allow me to explain them before I continue.

1. Recognize: doing what one should do or not doing something that is a detriment to a positive direction and that it will be addressed! {Out Loud} Example: “I ‘Recognize’ that negative thought that I will fail and want no part of it!

2. Repent: of it [And first group ask for forgiveness!] [Keep this in mind that it is not necessarily Sin. There are weights that hold me back. *1] {Out Loud} e.g. I repent of that thought of failure! [Father forgive me of it, In Jesus’ Name! *2]

3. Renounce: the hindrance [in JESUS' Name] And Proclaim that I will never, never, ever, partake of that ‘Thought of failure again’ {Out Loud} ... [In Jesus' Name! *2] {No matter how many times!}

4. Resolve: That I have Recognized ‘that negative thought of failure’ and I have Repented of it [& and Asked for forgiveness] and Because I have no doubt, It has been dealt with [*3] and it to never be again! {Out Loud} {no matter how many times I need 2 do it!!! i.e. the sub-conscience deals with it, as being the first time and finalized!}

It is 'The Action' that brings 'Faithing' [*4] into fruition! Remember that to ‘JUST’ think these things are only the beginning! One will not say anything Out Loud unless they Believe what they are saying! [*5] ENuf! It is not even Sunday!

Being conscience of what comes out of the mouth to begin with. [*5] and making application there. Nevertheless, it starts in the thinking process, [*6] and when I Recognize the negative or un-wanted thought, I immediately incorporate the other three ‘R’s and choose another direction. That is a process of discipline that when it becomes a habit that I can just stop and continue in the positive or wanted direction as a reflex.

Regardless of what group you belong to, make these thoughts an advantage and applicable to you in business. Call it a ‘Still Small Voice’, ‘Intuition’ or a ‘Random thought’. To one, it is The Holy Spirit and to the other, the universe, a brass doorknob or what other object you believe or not in. No offense intended, only stated to make the point in order to continue.

Speaking of continuing, I shall return to bless you, 1 aka DP

Scriptural Re: NKJV

[*1 Hbr. 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ;]

[*2 Jhn 14:13, And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. :14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.; Also see: John 15:16; 16:23-26;]

[*3 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.]

[*4 Please note that ‘Faithing’ is not a word in English. Nevertheless, it is the present tense, participle, indicating The Action Based On What Is Believed.]

[*5 Mat 15:10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: :11, "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." :12, Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" :13’ But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. :14, "Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." :15, Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." :16, So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? :17, "Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? :18, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. :19, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. :20, These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."] Also see: Mark 7:14-23;

[*6 Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.]

VI More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

I Talk about The ‘F’s today and to touch on the reason why. When I have mentioned ‘Filters’ there is a very important factor that one needs to consider. Blind Spots called Scotomas are controlling issues that keep us from seeing what realty is for us. The hump to get over, as discussed before, is that our thinking is controlling what we think is real for us. Let us look at that sentence again.

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of many years.

How many did you count? Three or maybe even five? There are six ‘F’s in that sentence and the reason that we are blind to three of them is that we see the ‘F’ in of as a v, because that is the way we pronounce it. (ov) Our thinking controls what we see!

In addition, how we see, controls how we think and in turn act. (See Scriptural Notes Below) Nothing to do with blind spots per se, though should we see an adult about to walk in front of a car, we would yell at them to watch out. Now under normal circumstances, should we see a toddler about to step out into a busy street we might yell for sure, though at the same time, run to intervene. Who we are responds that way and like this situation above is very positive.

I was talking to a friend of mine today and she came to a place where she lost her direction or train of thought. She responded with having a senior moment! I ask her not to go down that path and exhorting her that we reinforce the ‘Loop Mode’ I mentioned in the last post.

Let me endeavor to explain that ‘Loop Mode’. What we are thinking about will draw those thoughts into our future. Should those thoughts be our past, (Good or Bad) by replaying them, (Thinking) we are rehearsing them into our future. In other words, as we think about yesterday, today, we live them again tomorrow. i.e. ‘Loop Mode’!

Now the sub-conscious does not know the difference between what truth is and what it is not. It accepts what is thought with the most vividness and intensity, as reality whether it is true or not, thus in its creative mode will do what it has to, to keep us there. e.g. every thought we ever had that would reinforce that direction is brought to mind and mindlessly we allow that to be the criteria on which we decide to remain there.

What do I do about the ‘Loop Mode’ and how do I implement change for my betterment?

A good place to take a break and I shall return next time and continue.

Scriptural Re: NKJV

Mat 6:22, "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. :23, "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!;

Luk 11:34, "The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

:35, "Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

:36, "If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

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.

I Shall Return! Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

IV More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

By now you should know if you are part of the First Camp or Group Two. Read Post below should you need to freshen up your understanding!

Most of you who read this Blog have my agenda dialed in.

Number One. Is for all to have the information to decide where they are choosing to spend eternity.

Number Two. To encourage Believers to be Partakes of God’s Kingdom in ‘The Here and Now”!

Number Three. And not near, as important as the first two, is to gather my thoughts on How I see what is going on in this place we live, that is bound by “Time & Space”!

Again, Acts 17:11, not as I think, Nevertheless, to have other things to weigh where you are at, in your walk with (or without) God.

I believe this will lead to where we can mesh the secular truths with what God’s Word proclaims about what HE has put here before us to partake and participate in this HIS Kingdom.

A good place to begin is again to establish that we living in at least two different realms. See 2Co 12:2

I have talked about this before, yet will re-iterate in order to get this rolling. Again be cautioned that our filters built through our lives control not only how we see things, also influence how we think about any and Every thing. I spell those filters out in a little more detail HERE.

Rabbi Moses Maimonides in the 12^th century realized by reading The Torah that there are at least ten dimensions. There are four that we are aware of; Length, Width, Depth/Height and Time. What is overwhelming is that there are six dimensions that we are not consciously aware of and only understood and explained by Quantum Physicists and little children. Do not worry, I am not going there. (For right now, anyway!) ;-)

Oh YEA! BUSINESS!

Keep in mind that there are Spiritual aspects of GOD’s Kingdom that some in Group One are not even aware of and some in Group Two utilize every day, though they call it something else.

We have touched on some of these things in the past, yet today … applied to Business. I will endeavor to spell out the Secular view and confirm with Scripture.

Controlled by those filters we think about what is important to the sub-conscious mind. Most of the time, we are not aware that it is in control. It will kill in the extremes to protect us and/or keep us comfortable. (Pro 23:7a for as he reasons in his heart, so is he!) and (Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.)

It is a discipline to over come the old ways of thinking and to make deliberate changes that keep us in slavery on the plantation of old thoughts.

What we think about our self is reinforcing who we are and we fall trap to doing the same things the same way, expecting things to change and never seeing fruition. What we think about is actually drawing us from the now into the future of those things from the past. You might call this being in the ‘Loop Mode’.

In other words, whether group one or two, if what we think is Negative, that is “where we Were” which is controlled with “where we are”, which will keep us, “where we will be”! Moreover, the Contrary is, also true! I will use the verse, ‘the lamp of the body is the eye’ again. Mat 6:22&23;What you look upon with darkness will only reveal darkness and to look with light will, for the same reason show you the Positive!

Allow me to finish with this, which will compound, that spelled out above:

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Your Business is producing directly proportional to your thinking! Keep in mind, Group two knows this and acts accordingly. It is a Divine Law.

Group one has more going for it, yet like salvation, it needs appropriation. I hear believers over and over again make statements as, “If God wants me rich, HE will drop it on me!” or “If God wants me to speak in tongues, HE will slap me with it!” Or words to those effects. Nevertheless, for either to happen (Which may be a Thought in another post!) would mean, ‘A Bolt of Lightning and a Burning Bush’ happening at the same time!

In the next post we are going to look at what we say and how that effects our Business!

Until then, Be Blessed, 1 aka DP
