I grew up in the nation's capital. I wanted to be a DEA agent. I was in college studying criminology. it was the height of the crack epidemic and Washington DC, the nation's capital, was also the crack capital of the world. The cocaine capital.
It was everywhere and I observed it firsthand. it was devastating to watch so many friends get utterly destroyed firsthand and be completely helpless to do anything about it. it was even more devastating because of what my lofty inner goals were.
I remember my Greek friend ripping American money up and laughing maniacally saying that America has no idea what's happening and what is coming their way. He was being theatrical and dramatic to get other people's attention, in particular the American citizen sitting around him at the fraternal order of Eagles where we were together, where he was a member. Where I made sure he became a member above and beyond some of the voices that were against it. those same people I riled against when I visited the black elks next door and invited them over, leaving some of our members Jaws on the floor as I walked into our building with black people. 1997. How despicable.
If you need to be change for the simple reason because it's only the right thing to do, stand up and make it happen or shut up.
We were definitely not groups of Democrats and Republicans, we were all Americans learning how to do the right thing together. Sometimes we did the wrong things with the right motivation and we're just simply misguided but learned through the process and made amends and moved forward more efficiently after.
I pushed hard during those days for women to become equal members because they weren't even looked at as members even though they were members of The Ladies auxiliary. Today women in the Eagles are equal members across the board and have been and that was long long overdue.
I utilized executive power, when I was president at the fraternal order of Eagles I demanded that we have a joint installation of officers and I did that after a vote that was not favorable. when I started executive order they were quite shocked that I knew what I was talking about and that indeed I was correct.
I always stood for transparency, and I touted this and repeated it like a very bad commercial !!!
I was a stone's throw from Washington DC, in Alexandria, Virginia and I had gotten to the place I had worked really hard to get.soon however, I would resign and turn my back on everything having become married and feeling that now there's only one place to put all of my energy and focus, and therefore I could hold my obligation, this Earth to office I took, no longer and had to resign.
Back to my friend which I had the nickname Billy, well Billy said that he thought the United States was headed in the wrong direction and this is why and we used to talk to you about this night after night essentially as we would do body work on automobiles. I was 18 and I laughed a lot as I sipped beer and so did he, but instead of sipping he would guzzel. see he had a broken back that he broke working on a car's using a frame stretching machine and I would help him because I was young and healthy even though I had some back problems already they weren't anything like his. Later I broke my back and would be in worse condition than him in my life. My life is just weird like that.
He didn't say this (about watching United States careful when comparing it to the city of Union back in the 80s) in a hateful way as you might think, he said this in a way that he was very hurt and crushed inside. he loved the United States and he was watching it start to fall just like he watched Greece.
He watched Greece get pummeled, he then moved to United States and became a citizen and started watching what he said was the same thing all over again. He's to tell me to look at the Soviet Union because when you start seeing those things happened here... you'll know. What he meant was, because it was the 80s, is look at what's happening there in the Soviet Union as they are about to fall. They fell.
He has been right 100% thus far !
This old beautiful Greek man with the biggest heart of anybody I've ever seen in my life.
I miss you Billy, I miss you Vasilio Voliotis. I pray you're at peace my friend, I pray you're at peace.
A cold cozy morning listening to Meg Myers, my two cats and two dogs snuggled nearby in my king size bed in my beautiful white goffin cockatoo Anna close by saying good morning... I love Cumberland Maryland in the winter snuggled in the nest in these mountains and I've never felt more blessed than I did when I owe work today, as I did the day before and the day before, and as I will tomorrow if still so blessed. I'm looking forward to spring. I'm looking forward to life having it's spring again oh, something that long ago deported for me as in maybe a couple of decades ago. Something is different inside and it is called a renewal. I pray it lasts and I will work hard at it as I have been before this and I will continue to pray and build faith and be more diligent in to become a better man and a better friend, the latter two of which I have been miserable at through illness. I pray for Grace now and strong health so that I may prove to everybody the person I believe myself to be beyond the person that I have actually been that others can bear witness to.
I'm praying our country can come back together and start to heal now that we have these terrible growing pains on our familial table of discussion. Let's remember we are a family at a table enjoying nourishment well we discuss how to make all lives better through all of our right to the pursuit of happiness. Sounds like a pretty tall order, but what else can you think of as the order of the day?
My focus is to take care of me and my home and all that that includes. that has been a pure impossibility for years. I've managed only because others have managed me. Read that again. I needed this help desperately or else I don't survive. Now I think I'm ready start spreading my wings again and maybe taking flight soon and then soon soaring like I never have yet.
I like the view from up there already and I haven't even Departed in flight.
I'm projecting that very near future when I will have a health field career in a heart department at a hospital where I will be blessed to be surrounded by the angels that kept me here and I will be helping others and instilling the confidence in then that these angels gave back to me.
Beautiful people, incredible doctors and scientists, wonderful institutions of higher learning, and technology all combined to make this incredible MRI compatible pacemaker defibrillator unit that is extraordinary really high tech in comparison to many of the older units in ways that is very difficult to describe to the average person, but let me just say that technology has saved my life.
in 2010 I was honored to be published by the United States Department of energy and what much of that was about was about green energy and utilizing technology to advance our basic energy consumption and efficiency and help us to be better stewards overall and also to not have as much dependency on other nations, as each Nation should try their best to be dependent, as each person should too.
Equally, we must have great safeguards in place to help those that need help when they need it until, they are back on their feet again, because that is responsibility each one of us should carry within our heart and soul for others oh, but it is not obviously the lot of everybody either in or should it truly be expected in that way as each of us are so different.
Well at least you just some thoughts floating through my head this morning as I'm enjoying Awakening in reflecting on my past most recently and in total, and taking an inventory and looking at myself and then praying upon these things that I look forward to starting with the progress that I'll make today as I pursue the service of others.
Only through service to others does life persist.
Do you ever feel like you are in an Eddy of life and that you are just swimming in circles with your problems?
First of all...
Number One RULE !!!
DON'T PANIC
IF YOU WANT TO GUARANTEE DEATH, PANIC !
How do you not panic in a panic situation? Training. That is truly the only way to almost 100% ensure that you do what you're supposed to do when your fight or flight response once you to not do what is really truly in your best interest.
For example, this is what Navy seals are trained to overcome in basic essence.it is hard to act upon and rise above and over a threat that is staring you and your life directly in the face, especially if you know it's going to take you away 100% for sure.
You don't have time for panic if you want to survive you must realize this immediately.
What is faith?
Faith says if I can pray and execute through the protocol that I have been taught to save my life, that others are going to come and help. I put Faith in a system because the system says those will come to help me if I call them.
That sounds as stupidly insane as Angels doesn't it ???
That same old Faith that everybody says is bulls**t, fake, doesn't exist, etc.
That's the exact same Faith that saved my life on August 5th as well as brought to Angels into my house to take me to the hospital to the rest of the angels that I prayed to be working with soon. Now, all my mission is to give back.
Have I been a perfect angel in this life? Absolutely not even close. Have I been given Grace and redemption? precisely such as everybody else is offered each and every day. Have I been resurrected? I have, by God's grace and by the grace of others, my angels, and through faith, let me be abundantly clear yet again.
if I don't believe in face, if I don't believe that the phone call is going to help me to get the help that I need to save my life, I don't live because I don't follow through and execute upon those beliefs.
If ever 3 death I can offer eternal life, that is the message I'm trying to offer here more than anything.
It is a miracle that still I walk again amongst the living oh, but it is a much larger miracle that there is a promise of eternal life, and it's a fact.
I still can't prove it to you, but I can say that I went to this place and I got to come back, and most of you can't say that. I have medical professional proof I went there too. I don't have medical professional scientific proof about what I observed and what I saw and what I heard and what I felt and what I learned in what I am supposed to do with what I brought back, but I know and I have faith, and I'm not scared of anything anymore. That doesn't mean I'm lost common sense and that I'm going to act a fool and be ignorance incarnate. it means I need to hold my head up high for the god of my own personal understanding and I need to live the best life I can live from here forward just as I have always tried my best to do and indeed done, flawed and human as everyone.
I don't know what faith means to you, but I want you to know that my faith saved me. It wasn't just my faith in God. It was my faith in others. You don't even have to believe in God or in other's for that faith. or if you don't want to call him or her or it God that's okay because it's not something from this Earthly realm anyway so just call it whatever you want and whatever you're comfortable with I could care less, Jesus could care less, God could care less and Muhammad could care less and Buddha could care less and shall I go on and on for eons and waste time through the division we call denomination? Denomination is not just a Christian sin. if you think my words are strong these were the words I was supposed to come back with a share, in part.
Call me crazy if you want oh, that's okay. you might feel quite crazy too if you experienced what I just did.
You know the funniest thing through it all is I'm still not disabled through the social security administration of the United States of America, which I have brought all the way to the top appeal to times previous to this third denial. The two previous times with an attorney and this third time... why bother.
I've been persecuted and call the piece of s*** in a drug addict all for the country that I love. I have fought for what I thought was there to help me in my time of help, but medical science couldn't prove the issues, at heart concerning my health, in full.
it pisses me the f*** off as a human being that I have to accept the facts above, but that's where I stand today and I also stand today.
you have to understand I fell down the steps during my heart attack in my heart attack was after strokes oh, and the doctors thought I broke my neck, and indeed I still have a misplaced vertebrae for dislocated or you know put whatever label on it you want... the doctors don't understand me cuz you know I'm going home by but let's do the surgery and when can I leave and boom... in 5 days here I am. Back with my sweet dogs in my bird and the woman of my dreams still in only my dreams, but better than not in my life at all. I only mention that because it's all I wanted to come back for, a single woman in my two pet dogs that I adore, all... adore... more than I have ever known and loved anything.
it all seems like a big fairytale or a bunch of BS but it's all true...
it's pretty tough waking up every morning knowing this reality and I guess everybody thinks I'm the freak that I am.
it's pretty lonely here, but I was used to that anyway because that's how you all left me most of the time... Most every single one of you, not all.
you didn't do it because you hated me or you pitied me or any other reason other than that your own lives were busy, as is my own selfish life.
I'm glad through death the ego gets smashed and I know how much I don't matter. it's great to know that the world doesn't revolve around me and that I don't matter to all of you and that that doesn't matter to me either a bit now, at last.
it feels like I lived in some other body that was uncomfortable in its own skin and never wanted to be perfectly happy or something strange and I can't explain all that but I'm not that same person that I was dead and I feel so incredibly different. I am not a different man but I returned a different man in a different body and I'm having a hard time getting used to all of this. mentally just try to wrap your head around it all, but even physically I'm just not precisely to say when I'm trying to relearn my whole everything, with my coordination and things just the slightest bit off but getting closer to that me that I know and expect and I want to be 20 again. I'm going to continue to heal because I'm confident in that, but only through faith and only as long as I am supposed to and when it is time to depart again, I am as ready as ever, but trust me I am in no hurry whatsoever as I love this beautiful and dear life.
I don't know how to repay everybody and I don't no why I got to survive when there are so many more four more worthy than myself ;(
I don't feel so grandiose that God had these big and great plans for me but then how can you not even think that at all? One must not just think this but no disrespect because indeed to walk again, in the face of everything that happened to me, what in the heck can one else think rational?
One reason you might want to think about faith and something that is a higher power and it's not a human being is that human beings will always feel you, guaranteed.
God is always by your side and God will never fail you.
One disappointment that hasn't left is the amount of hate and greed and hoarding in sin that I just see surrounding me all of the time, and it's proliferation.
My heart breaketh' still.
What an awesome life !!!
Please do not waste yours, and value that of all that lives that surrounds you.
