Getting delivered from a black hole of misery and despair is not easy. There is no quick fix. The person who was rescued does not automatically feel better. They feel ashamed and don't feel "worthy" to be in church.

Be realistic, but luckily love has a powerful healing effect.

These same people, upon encountering each other might then go through the same ritual saying, "that gift was greatly appreciated and it was a kind gesture".

And again the giver will reply, "think nothing of it."

This idea of debt is so DEEP that a 55 year old might see their 1st grade teacher and remark how grateful they were at all the small kindnesses that their teacher showed, and still the teacher reply, "think nothing of it..." as the debt can never be discharged.

That is why giri (duty) is the debt one owes that can never be repaid and it probably will break their heart.

Like a soldier who feels honor bound to defend to the last moment his station as he owes a debt to his nation, so literally will probably die.

That is why banzai charges happened in WW2.

Where do we get the idea of "worthy". Now it means deserving of respect or admiration.

Originally among the many tribes of the Britons, they were ferocious and fighting a guerilla war against the invading ancient Romans.

The Romans were unable to get to Scotland and Ireland as it was a bridge too far situation. The supply lines were too far, and the soldiers were tired having pushed through all the tribal lands.

They were divided by many tribes and so they could stand against the mechanistic legionaires using very controlled tactics in lines of squares using hurled pilums and then closing with the Britons in waves. The Britons waged full on attacks, but couldn't maintain the intensity.

When the ancient Romans pulled out, some were influenced by the Romans and others were not but tribal. They combined ideas and created some semi-professional soldiers, but many were hastily pressed into service militia. The men were too sorely needed to work the fields.
...
The Germans and later Vikings had professional soldiers who raided. They had defeated many and so some became essentially nobles, not by virtue of birth, but by martial ability on the battlefield.

They invaded England and outmatched the Britons. That caused occupations and German loan words then creeped into the English language.

The word "weorp" and "wertha" meant those who were significant and valuable and became synonomous with these German professional soldiers. They were respected as remarkable warriors.

Re: The language we were GIVEN to use?.....heh, be circumspect of the words you say
While some may abuse the language, the original idea of "worthy" was someone you admired who had practical ability and the admiration was likely universally acknowledged.

"That guy is great. Everyone acknowledges he's worthy of his pretty wife."

The acknowledged person being praised wasn't worthy just because he was rich or had siphoned off power by virtue of birth, but was a sincere stand up guy that deserved respect. You did not mess with him.

The same was true of ladies. They seemingly had many virtues like honesty, integrity, compassion, tenderness, humility, faith and when she had a comely appearance and many ancestral skills, she was a worthy candidate for courting and marriage.

She was a "catch".

Where do we get the idiom, "she's a catch"?

It literally means someone who was ensnared and comes from medieval England. The word they used was cachen meaning to chase and capture. That comes from the Latin captare to grasp or seek out ie capture.

Take the mythological story of the unicorn. No matter how you tried, you could never catch him and their horn had magical powers like curing a poisoning.

The only way was a pure lovely virtuous maiden would sit and the unicorn would sense her, and willingly yield to her by putting his head in her lap.

And that is how even today a lady captures a wild untamable man. Pursing him will not be fruitful.

Try this. When watching a tv show, note the title and the names of characters. A writer will use names that he/she looked up and each have meanings which offer clues to the motivations of the characters and their attributes.

Parents do the same thing. The try to recapture their ancestral heritage, and use names of family members who have passed, and so give "power" that is invoked by the name.

Writers will set up a situation where two similar ideas happen in two different characters so this causes a resonance like two twin tuning forks.

That repeating consonant is called alliteration and it creates a "beat" pattern. Look at how many times I used the T sound.

Certain words like:
murmur
meandering
melody
have musical elements and also create a pattern. A writer can use those to create a mood or a sense of intimacy or make it seem like he is whispering in your ear.

A long time ago,such things were elements of romantic correspondance as telephones did not exist. You had find ways to layer your emotions in the message and persuade the listener.

It has long been known since ancient times that a lady's voice when singing, regardless of her looks, but certainly enhanced by her charm, can totally beguile a man.

That is where the myth of the sirens and Ulysses comes from.It's irresistable. He could not make himself block out the sound. He would rather suffer and tie himself up, as he knows he cannot control himself.

It makes a man weak just hear her sing romantic words of power. Everything synergistically comes together. The words plus melody plus resonnace plus intent.

That is why when a sweet Southern devout Christian lady is singing with passion, men are quite undone by her power.

You have more power than you know over us.

Re: The language we were GIVEN to use?.....heh, be circumspect of the words you say
I mentioned in a post yesterday about how language is a big tool of control. We truly don't have the whole story with what we've been "given," and what story we do have was made to subjagate.

I started writing and kept on going, so it's a little long....if you read it, then you were meant to. If not, your choice.

I'm starting with an extremely common phrase used everyday, by millions upon millions. It's a pharse we automatically respond with to, "Thank you"...."You are welcome."


"You are wELcome".....you see the w? That's a message, a SYMBOL to open up your consciousness, opening your mind up to deliver the message....EL come. EL is an ancient word for a god....and we of course know what "come" means....be with me now. That it's an ancient word points to it's "universality" of usage, its ease to enter your mind with, because your consciousness has heard it for lifetimes. We've become "accustomed" to it.

It sounds beautiful, yes?.....god, be with me now. It's almost as if your saying to the person thanking you, may the god within you be with me now or may the god within me be with you now....but that is not the words coming out of our mouths, are they?

In this land of duality, doesn't it only matter when you know what god you're welcoming into yourself or projecting onto another?....because therein, at least you have choice. Most of us will always line up for a benevolent god, not a malevolent god.

But what if you don't know about the power of the words "you are w**come".....at least not beyond it being a surface pleasantry and a massive CUSTOM....check out that word, while you're at it. I'm not going to tell you about that one, because if you're interested in it, I want you to decipher it yourself......rimshot 'feed a man or teach a man'.

What if we are welcoming whatever "god" out there to be with us, in our ignorance of what we are saying?....oh so very many countless times in a lifetime do we say those three little words, "You are w**come," and every time we are participating FREELY in our own stink pot training....if our heart isn't constantly trained on benevolence.

Duality dictates that holding any one thought is difficult, it's easier with your heart....that's why we're to still our minds, and go inside our hearts to "listen" to to our god-self expanded selves --

I'm sorry, I really do so dislike the word "god"....such a small word that's made such a cluster fuck of everything here on the Big Bluesy Marble. It's not that I don't deeply love the concept of high vibration beings, it's that it has been used by dark forces to retain us in a servitude mindset. It is incredibly sad, what they've done to the concept of a creator.....because we are all creators, we're just at different levels of creative abilities while in body. Heh, some of us have bashed ourselves in the head lifetime after lifetime, because we're constantly having to learn how to rise above our minds, and drop ourselves into our hearts.

If you've a soul, then you are, at any soul level of experience, a creator....not a "god" - pewie! *spits* - a CREATOR. Know the difference, because they are different. Human beings were created uniquely....we honestly were not created with god complexes and a drive to become a god or to serve a god. We were created to experience....and our creativity is one way we describe our experience with and in life.

It's one of Humanity's most beloved attributes, our ability to create. We do it everyday, but how many of us realize it, and realize it to the depth it would rock our world of people if we all got on the same page and said these three simple words, "All is One"?

Heh, ".....and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down."

Thank you, C's (a personal note to "Us")......hf


I'll tell ya, I do not say "You're w**come" anymore. Given that I KNOW it's a tool of design to subjugate Humanity, how can I use it? How can I say that to a fellow human being on the same road as I, tryin' to get "home" just like me?

I can't because, because I love Humanity.

Now I just say, "Not a problem" or my favorite, "It was my pleasure"....because that's what you are receiving IN SPIRIT given using the word of w**come, you are receiving good energy from someone who is telling you thank you. Be grateful, don't damn your benefactor of goodwill to hell, with a smile on your face.....like an ignorant idiot.....

.....because if you have any concept of evil in your consciousness, whether you're down with it or not, then you are subject to the deleterious effects of it....things are just that messed up here in 3D Land. We seriously barely know if we're coming or going. One has to live from within their heart to stay true to the one path that walks us to liberation.

Why use the word and the phrase?....throw it out. It is trash....it is "refuse," environmental garbage....it is a tool to re-FUSE us to the will of what is less than what we want and strive to be.

God is a word I'm still working on understanding within myself.....although I do think I worked through some of my misgivings with its use here: I just don't like it, like it's used in 3D Land....I cannot grow "accustomed" to it, heh.


At the depths and heights of our beings, as expanded ones, we are not separate.....and All is One.

If you're not already, then do start being circumspect of the words you're using, especially the ones we hold as meaningful....because those who screwed up language in this reality to the extent it has been?.....they are never going to give up, I assure you.

Remember, you are using these words with your children, your spouses, your siblings, your mother and father, your grandparents....all people you love. For millennia we've being doing it.

Be aware, okay? Use your power to choose what words come out of your mouth, so we're not constantly compounding our subjugation into existence every next moment.

We may eventually rise up above this very base reality, but we are not getting there without having to put up one unholy hell fight....righteously, I hope, but I won't fault anyone who has to fight dirty to claim your life as your own. It is indeed a fight with un-whole-liness.

Being vigilantly circumspect of words and language, consciously choosing not to use words you've identified as control tools, is an awesome undertaking and productive. Begin CREATING your own word choices and phrases of common use, ones that make you feel "lighter," more buoyant, jumped into the river of life and going with the flow, rather than positioning yourself for evil, the anti-thesis of live, and living well.....like what "It was my pleasure" does for me.

And having choice is one of the good things about a duality realm, and it is a "power" for good when used correctly. Our choices can uplift us, they are that powerful.

Being circumspect in this manner is a service to yourself and to others....you will be doing a benevolent service for All.

Heh, it is our highest calling right now, to be in Service of All, including ourselves.....our humanity needs us now more than ever.

Just watching what comes out of your mouth is a perfect place to begin or continue on from. KNOW what you're saying, so you're actually meaning what you say.


Heh, and thanks for making it to the end of this, if you did.....hf

A "dude" in history was a pejorative. It was a synonym for "dandy" which was an obsequious man who fastidious in his choice of apparrel to such a degree as to the subject of ridicule. He was almost certainly a homosexual.

A dude ranch then was a way of mocking people who dressed like ranch hands, in order to look manly, while having no knowledge of the running of a ranch and the responsibilities involved, but could dress like a "cowboy".

A poser is one who acts in such a way that they emulate others who are not like the poser whatsoever. They are a pretender.

It arose from the Latin pausa meaning to halt or cease, like a pause. The poser strikes a pose so it looks like the actions of the type they emulating, but they only halt in a pose and never actually complete the task.

Early bodybuilders were ridiculed by striking athletic poses when many actually could not significantly lift weights, thus their appearance was a sham as they were not actually athletes at all.

At the same time in history, genuine strongmen like Louis Cyr were large and even overweight, but so strong as to hold off two teams of galloping horses pulling in opposite directions.

The first men in America to be ranch hands were in former regions of Virginia (which once was FOUR times larger) and the English had given those lands to several Native Americans. The Native Americans in exchange fought against the colonists and for England.

It was tough work and they lived by their wits and bravery and raised horses. They originally went through the Appalachian mountains and had to battle their way through.

Eventually with Manifest Destiny such ranch hands spread across the Mississippi River and into the West, but originally the "West" was just west of the 13 colonies.

A ranch hand only made low standard wages, but got a portion of horses and cattle they drove to market. A cattle drive is not for weaklings. The pounding on their spine is intense and they got snatches of sleep, and so of the critters died as herding them caused accidents. Even some ranch hands could be cut off by a stampede.

Criminals who were rustlers were posers, sometime deserters from the military, and stole cattle and horses and then rebranded them. They were consider scum as their actions were ruinous to the economy.

The Cowboys were rustlers who harmed regions through rustling, and the only ones benefitting were saloons, gambling establishments, and houses of ill repute.

A cowboy today is often not a ranch hand, but a dude who dresses like one.

The first ranch hands came through the Appalachian mountain and were rough Scots who had relocated to Ireland as they fled tyranny from English landlords. Then left Ireland to come to America, often as surveyors.

They were wily as by doing so, they might reserve some homestead for themselves. They were called Scotch-Irish and in history they were sell swords mercs called gallowglasses. They drank hard liquor as they might die at anytime.

The English in greeting would say, "How do you do, whereas a Scotch-Irish might shorten it to "Howdy". That term of friendly greeting then spread westward.

Feisty is an attribute of a person of small stature who suddenly when provoked beyond his or her endurance, then strikes decisively and whips the head back of a much large foe, typically a bully.

What is amusing is it originally meant a "cur" or a feral dog of small size, who having no master, then had to fend for himself. He stayed alive despite his diminuative size.

But even further back in German, the word feist is related to "fart" as such a critter was stinky as well...a farting little dog. Even today, a rural person might call someone "you little fart" ie they think they are hotstuff but are small and puffed up by methane.
