Chasing Currents: (Unedited): 27 Nov 2021:

Swimming against the current is not an act of antisocial behavior or disobedience. I may not be interested in the waterfall that everyone seems to be excited to experience. 
C.J.MacKechnie
======================
Racing the current and passing a multitude of other fish while avoiding rocky dangers. Will get you to the finish line faster and ahead of most. But, you should be concerned with what the finish line actually is.
C.J.MacKechnie
--------------------------------
The finish line could end at a waterfall's sudden stop or into the ocean in which may not support your kind of life. 
======================
I remember a dream in which I'm next to a calm pool of water. Very close by is very aggressive rapids water. Many people come in close proximity to me and I offer my hand to pull them out of the water. But, the thrill of the experience is too strong and once they each catch their breath, they push off and continue on down the rapids. It is not too long as it seems I was their last chance for survival and I watch them go over the cliff to their death. A death which I cannot see as the mists occlude their final demise and screams as well as the woohoo's.

Profound Meaningful Actions: +4: (Unedited): 14 May 2018:

The most profound, purposeful and meaningful things you will ever experience in your life will always have a foundation based upon your selfless acts.
C.J.MacKechnie
=============
Perpetual Selfish Thoughts: (Unedited): 14 May 2018:
Having feelings of being deserving and entitled to your perpetual selfish thoughts and actions. May be enjoyable in the short term. But as the years roll by do not expect to have accrued any real wisdom or knowledge of gaining any real profound purpose or meaning in your life.  
C.J.MacKechnie
===============
Humanities Selfless Love: (Unedited): 14 May 2018:
Your selfless acts based upon your love for humanity and this world. Is one of the essential keys in actually knowing how to perceive the true meaning of life.
C.J.MacKechnie
================
Purchasing Meaning: (Unedited): 14 May 2018:
Purchasing the meaning of life through your selfish desire to acquire it is a fundamental impossibility. While you may have helped ease suffering, hunger and ailments. The meaning and purpose of life will only be the empty correct answer to the known question.
C.J.MacKechnie
-------------------------
Purple words below is a step.
I think I've written this story before. I worked for a local family owned office supply delivery company when I was younger. I worked hard. Cleaned up their warehouse. I was always on time even arrived before the boss. Made my deliveries without issue. While riding with the adult son of the owner we drove past the Alabama Baptist Children's home in Alabama. He made the proud comment of how his family donates to these people in order to keep those criminals off of the street. I was a little upset. I told him I was a former foster kid and would never steal from him or his family. That Friday I was fired. No reason. Yes, I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. Foster kids are taught this early on. Yes, even today there is still the master servant relationships. A servant is not supposed to speak out against the master or the Master's children in any way. Well, I did.
Where is the intentions of your heart? For what reason do you do good things? Out of fear or out of love? Do you do good things just to receive an accolade or respect? Just because a family has been in the church for generations. Does not mean they are actual Christians. Their church may just be their social club.
================
Youthful Joy: (Unedited): 14 May 2018:
Genuine youthful joy is just one of the rewards gained in this here and now. When you take necessary actions based on your love for one another. No matter the cost.
C.J.MacKechnie
-----------------------
Purple words below is a step.
================
So you think this world is bad? Maybe not worth it? How about to far gone? or maybe your world is perfect as the rewards from this world always come to you in every decision made. But, is their real purpose and meaning to your life?
================
Personal Note: I have to work really hard to be nice. Even being past 50 years old. I guess for me growing up the way I have. Those things not learned is still very evident. Like how to properly respond to certain intentions and how to properly act to a variety of social stimuli is alien to me. Once I'm past the greeting and weather I tend to get lost in social interactions. I've tried to even ask about family and careers. But when I get returned one word answers. I'm like really.
==================
Go and sin no more.
================
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.

To exist in harmony with all.

To Cherish all life.

To be obedient to the Laws of God.

To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.
All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.

Crab Shack Calm: (Unedited): 22 May 2015:

Only at the Crab Shack can you experience the calm before the rocking storm. While the band is on a break.
C.J.Mackechnie
===============
It is interesting how when you go to many different places. You always get the same background noises. The same dulled mental droning of various states of intoxication.  It is the same for virtually every bar, bar/restaurant, bar/club, and etc.
Except at the Crab shack. When the band goes on break. Just enjoy the calm. While drinking your drink and eating your meal. Just reach over to the one your with and smile. Can you feel it? It is there. The calm nothingness. Just reach out with the nothingness of your own mind and let the calm envelop you. Can you do that? Can you let go of the world systems which have brought you to this state of digital mindedness. Are you even aware of it?
Do not reach for your rectangular digital light bulb. Do not text or even read that text. Stay in this very real moment of Earthly calm and leave the worldly system of your mental state behind.
If you can. You will free yourself and escape from that which is unreal and into that which is genuine. Can you tell the difference? Even here in little Port Richey, Florida. You have this invisible bubble of some kind of mystical calm and you were/are another worldly bubble within a bubble. Can you pop your own prideful and egotistical bubble to feel what is real?
It's OK. If you don't feel it now. If you keep going to The Crab Shack, one day the Earthly calm shall flood into your worldly bubble. Then you will wonder why everything is so beautiful. I hope you get their one day.

Personal Puzzle Picture: (Unedited): 11 Oct 2014:

You were born with a single puzzle picture, which makes up your whole life, which is not seen without any insight. As you grow, develop, learn, experience and  evolve. You gain more and more insight. Thus, becoming able to view more and more of the remaining portions of your life's personal puzzle picture. 
 C.J.MacKechnie
===============================
What a person discovers. Is that very same puzzle picture of your whole life will become exactly as the one you can easily see when the silvers and wrinkles dominate your physical appearance.

Good Things: (Unedited): 02 April 2014:

Good things do happen to good people daily. Become and remain a good person so that you to can experience daily goodness. 
C.J.MacKechnie
==============================================
 Start with today and right now. Be that good person through your own actions of caring and compassion. Even those things which are more respectful like taking the shopping cart back inside of the store. Returning items back to their proper places. Putting your trash and recyclables into their proper containers. These small steps will help you to feel better and you may even begin to seek out more opportunity to express compassion.
This is very important for a world becoming darker. The simple light you shine glows it's illumination into the far distance. A person who is feeling the darkness the most may just witness your strength and courage to shine your own light. That they themselves may begin to shine for themselves and for the betterment of this dark cold world.
==================================================
How do you begin to feel good?
Do good things everyday and all of the time. Even if all you can do is those small things. They all eventually add up into big things. Even to the point where you are feeling good all of the time.

Freedom Bound: (Unedited): 22 Nov 2013:

It is impossible for you to experience your freedom, when you continue to refuse to release your broken chains of enslavement, which had bound you. 
C.J.MacKechnie
=================================================
To be free. What does it truly mean? If you look below. The definition seems to be only about physical restraint. But, what about mental restraint or spiritual restraint? or coming soon to a life zone near you, genetic restraint?
We have today, mental restraint through legal and illegal chemicals. Restraints through various addictions. Drugs and addictions are restraints and are not something which enhances or magnifies your awareness.
There are also, those people who have been so psychologically traumatized by their past, they continue to live in it. Thus are uncontrollably enslaved by it. Psychologist and psychiatrists of this modern day often time replaced minimize one form of enslavement with a chemical enslavement. Now that person has two and then eventually more form of chemical enslavement. This of course assuming the patient has zero forms of any brain damage which can be seen in a variety of active brain scans.
It seems the old tried and true method of logical reasoning is no longer a useful tool when it is so easy to prescribe a mind altering medication and thus keeping a patient forever. This is an evil marriage. Til death do you part and if you the patient happen to commit suicide. The doctors can claim that they were right all along, you were insane. No one ever questions the doctors and the pills they hand out. Of course assuming there is no conclusive medical test to prove any brain damage. Those doctors should be held accountable for all of the suicides and heart attacks of children who are medicated.
 
Your freedom is your to have right now. You just have to let go of that which is keeping you down. The lies of racism. The abuse and tortures of your past. The failures in your life. No matter what ever it may be. Just let it go. This has been a hard lesson for me to do. To just let it go. Even if it is all I had or all you have. You just have to let it all go. I have done that.
 It was after the realization that all of the abuses, the tortures and etc. They were not my fault or even about me. I was just the body. If my bio-mother had that abortion in Mexico. My adoptive parents would have adopted someone else and that innocent child would have had to endure what I did.
It was also after the realization that all that I had endured was in fact not God's fault. The fault solely lies in the hands of my adoptive parents, certain foster parents, certain shelter home parents, counselors and etc. There lies the blame. This led to the further realization that all of the problems we have on earth are all the faults of the humans who reside on this planet, throughout it's long histories.
God is a wise and loving God. However you name him within your own culture. He will not strike you dead if you commit a sin. Why is that? To be fundamentally brief and very fundamentally basic. So, that we can learn from our own personal experience and to choose correctly next time. So, that we all can learn from our collective history as human beings. So, that we do not become slaves but a spiritually wise people whom the great Holy Father (NOT A CATHOLIC TERM) can be proud of.
It was also another realization. Do i continue to live with all of that finger point or just get on with my life and the lives of my wife and children? Blame was stealing a life worth living from me.

After you let go of all that is and has been holding you back or holding you down. Sit and quietly think about what it is you truly want out of this very short life we live. You must do this away from everything that you know. Find that peaceful and quiet place. A place of harmonious solitude. Just be with yourself. No music either. No books. Just you and you and you. What do you want? Allow that to be your new focus. Hold onto it. Work smart. Work hard. Work without cessation. Never ever go back to that place or those places which enslaved you or harmed you. Look forward to the new life you will earn for yourself and maybe your new family as well. Become both the end of the old and the beginning of the new. Allow you own children to only know first hand what continuation of the new ways of life are from you. Uphold love, peace and harmony. If you do and your children can see the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of those truths. You will truly become the father or mother of nations.

Mental Freedom
http://www.kabalarians.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=864
Posted: June-21-2005 at 2:37am | IP Logged Quote Daken

Mental freedom, by definition, means you are a clearer expression of the constructive qualities of mind. Therefore a mentally free person should be more individual, more diplomatic, more self-expressive, more patient, more analytical, more responsible, more placid, more objective, and more understanding of others. Greater mental freedom does allow for a greater freedom of dealing with people without judging them.
One can learn from every experience. If people see things differently, it is either an opportunity to understand why and learn from them, or try and explain your own perspective. A logical perspective should elicit reasonable responses from most people.
In association, the great lesson is to learn to merge ideas without loosing one's own clarity of concept. Mental individuality is a higher level of mental freedom, and represents a state of complete self-mastery where the mind is an individualized instrument with a free expression of the inner potential. This generates a greater power of logic and analysis, because emotion is under the constructive control of the mind. Many people suffer the consequences of a lack of mental individuality, being swayed by propaganda and mass-minded influences.
Therefore, in theory a person with a degree of mental individuality is a more controlled and positive mind. No one is perfect, and we recognize that mental freedom is a growing and evolving attainment that comes in steps based upon effort. There is no magic involved...just a study of mathematics and an application to evolve the mind to be a more balanced instrument.

Expected Demise: (Unedited): 29 May 2013:

A bad leader creates an expected demise, Which can be predicted by a good manager. C.J.MacKechnie
============================

The good manager becomes a prophet when the bad leader comes up with bad plans which can destroy the whole of everything. Hopefully there are a group of leaders instead of a one. Hopefully one of those other reasonable wise leaders will listen to the good manager and contemplate on the hard experience of the good manager.

Adventures Qualities: (Unedited): 28 May 2013:

The adventures experienced along any journey will accent your good positive qualities and reveal your bad negative qualities. C.J.MacKechnie
==========================================================
It is important to know all of the qualities about who you are right now and it is important to know all of the qualities you have expressed through action in your life's history. Both time sets aides you into your tomorrow. The decisions you make right now to change bad and negative qualities into good and positive ones is an improvement in the reputation of your namesake. This is how you make a profound meaning to your name.
The decisions and actions followed through on discovering something good and positive about your nature is a revelation like finding a gold nugget. Except no one can ever take it from you and you can always use it repeatedly, unlike the gold nugget you can only use once. 
The decisions and actions followed through on bettering your already known good positive qualities is a journey into personal greatness.

Defined Potential: (Unedited): 18 June 2010:

Any person who falls victim to the false beliefs and teachings of culture or of political thought. Will never experience the joy and satisfaction of becoming their own defined maximum potential. C.J.MacKechnie 
====================
Humanity is flooded with and drowning in lies and deceptions, which are believed as unquestioned truths.
==========================
Do not allow yourself to become a victim of your own culture or of the political thought of this day. Do not remain a helpless victim. Do not dwell on what is wrong with you, magnify within yourself what is right with you. You are not less than because of the rejection of your skin coloring (race). You are not defective because of an unprovable declared diagnosis such as ADHD/OCD. You are not unloved because you were born into a rotten family.  You are not worthless because you have nothing of worldly value. 
===============================
Become focused. Work smart. Work hard. Become the physical evidence which dis-proves the lies and accusations of your life. Forever Adapt and overcome all of your adversities. The extent of your real maximum potential is only limited by your own set limits.
==========================
We are all one humanity, one species and one family. When all of the common peoples unite together to love one another, to live in peace with each other and to exist in harmony. Then we all can find a very rich life we all can live with great meaning.
============================
If you cannot separate yourself from the lies and deceptions of the separation and division of the races. Then you, your family and your entire church will/may not be one of the elect, protected, saved or raptured. You must begin to know and believe that we are a single race of beings called humans. We are all brother and sister to one another. 
The DNA fingerprinting was established in 1984. Read it well. Believe the truth and reject the lies you have only known as truth.

The history of humanity told by many different traditions. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve
=======================
From about 8 minutes and 50 seconds to the introduction of the European leader. Listen good. This was in 26 June 2000. 
http://youtu.be/Y_8XRkb-wbY
=========================
Research for yourself the Human skin. learn how it is the largest organ of the human body. Learn about all of the primary functions of the human skin. Then learn about the minor function of the coloring of the skin. Learn how if you lose a primary function of the skin. You can die. Where as if you lose your skin coloring. You will just be uncomfortable, but still living with possible social ridicule. Now, after you have learned all about your human skin. Ask yourself this. Why do we not compare other organs of the body with other people such as the liver, kidneys, gall bladder and etc. How come there isn't racial stereo types for those who can drink much alcohol and those who cannot drink? Why? Race or the coloring of the skin is illogical and without actual fact.

Cleansing Rain: (Unedited): 16 June 2010:

Even under the clouds and in the rain, one can still experience a peaceful cleansing.
C.J.MacKechnie
==============
Do not fear the gentle rain showers in life.  Fleeing from the cleanliness to come after a rain shower. Will prevent you from experiencing the freshness to come into you with every inhaled breath. 
Do not deny yourself a wonderful pleasure of feeling a beautiful rain shower. You have work hard. You have become sweaty and dirty. Allow the natural rain shower to clean you all the way into the depths of your soul.

Dark beauty: (Unedited): 11 June 2010:

From within the shadows of your own darkness. You will never witness or experience the real beauty that can truly come from you. You can still smile your lonely smile. From that far away dark secluded place. Look and gaze at all that which is beautiful within the light. Know that you will not know such beauty, so as long as you choose to remain hidden within the darkest corner of your souls being. C.J.MacKechnie 
============================================================
Find the positive. Find the light. Then choose. The beautiful spirit that hides within that dark far away corner is still beautiful. Its OK to go out and into the light. It's safe and feel wonderful.

The Lord is your good shepherd. As a good shepherd he shall lead you to those green pastures.  If you are willing and brave enough to come out of your dark and secluded hiding place. Know this the good shepherd knows where you are and respects you enough to leave you be. You do not have to be alone in the dark corner of your soul. Come out into the divine light. Rejoice and dance.

Plateaus Sins: (Unedited): 24 Nov 2011

The plateaus you experience. Will always be related to your sin. 
 C.J.MacKechnie
=======================================================================
 Sin is a universal religious description. It matters not if you believe that we are just earth animals with a limited life span. It matters not if yo do not believe in anything else encompassed by anything super natural. Your plateau in whatever your area of interest is caused by your sin as defined by the popular religions. Repeating myself on purpose. It doesn't matter what you believe. It still is. C.J.MacKechnie

Look into that which distracts you from your intended purpose. Do you find entertainment in digital warfare where murders and destruction are fun and relaxing for you. Can you not see there is something wrong with that.
Hiding in secret and watching that which you watch. Deeply hoping you won't be discovered. Because, if your discovered all that which is good can be instantly destroyed. Having those private conversations with that other person whom you should not be having. Is it really worth risking the sanity of your spouse and ruining the lives of your children?
Your secret sins are not a wise expression of your life and will destroy all that is good with you and destroy those who are good who surround you. When your sins are discovered you will be absent of any good. From, that emptiness awaiting anything to fill in your own created void. Maybe, with more darkness, more selfish uncontrolled desires.
Your separation from accepted morality traditions and legal clauses. Will leave you without a profession, wealth and stability.

If your one of those who continually seek personal development in which ever area you choose. Your sin is still sin, in spite of what ever you may believe. Your sin may even impede your growth. If you choose sin over evolving yourself. You will only be harmed in some way. Your greatest impediment in life can be your wrong choices made or even the choices from any culture who says a lifestyle is correct for you. Growth and development within the spirit is very rigid.

GOD Wants (unedited). 18 June 2012

The tests, trials and tribulations you experience in this life is direct evidence that GOD wants us all to be strong, resilient and capable. To become his children who are wise, knowledgeable and holy. C.J.MacKechnie
===========================
The importance of our being is of the spirit. The spirit does not die when the physical body no longer functions and dies. The importance of spirit is greater than that of the physical body. Although the physical body has its own importance as the container of the spirit. This importance is our own responsibility to care for and to maintain the physical body as the real place of holiness on this Earth. The whole of the Earth is also a place of holiness and should be cared for and maintained. All that is holy should be maintained with honor, respect and love. 
In this physical life, GOD has historically sent his people directly into harms way to deliver the divine messages. Many have physically perished terrible deaths. Such as the One called Jesus. If GOD will send JESUS into harms way? and has sent others into harms way? What does this mean for you? This is evidence of the importance of spiritual growth,  over the importance of your own physical body.
