Dance Judge: (Unedited): 25 May 2017:

In the physical dance of life. You are your only judge as you dance, don't dance or dance the wrong dance. It is your future self which judges you in the past. This is the your past and it is also your present your time in which you have the power to change your future.

C.J.MacKechnie

==================
The point of this writing is to cause you to logically change your actions or non actions of today into a pro-action which will genuinely benefit you in all of your tomorrows. We each must live in this world but do not have to become of the world. It is not my desire for any of you to become a part of the world.
The judgments of your life up to this point can only be judged by you. But, they can also be judged by God as well and it matters not your belief system. God has judged the living with conviction. Remember Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, the future coming of the Lord. God has even Judged those whom he has chosen such as Adam and Eve, Lots wife and Moses. So do not become one of the judged like the Pharaoh of Egypt whose mind and heart were hardened. Thus, being prevented from any kind of righteous change. 
====================
Sometimes when there are dull and boring times in your life. It is not supposed to be opportunities to enjoy more entertainment and fun times. This may be a time when you are supposed to reflect on things so far in your life. This may be the time to gain new skills or even trades. This may be the time to become re-focused on those things which represent righteousness. Maybe it is all of it. No matter what it shall be. No actions should be taken until much deep prayer's and meditations have taken place.
===================
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.

Empowered Escape: (Unedited): 13 Dec 2016:

Self empowerment is an escape out of helplessness and dependency. 

C.J.MacKechnie

==================
I was inspired to write this from viewing a 41 second video.
Source: https://youtu.be/JRFNmrc3z7w
Thank You very much for inspiring me to write.
=====================
I've been thinking on empowerment for a while now. Trying to be a good father and trying to figure out how to teach self empowerment to my children.
This is the way and belief of the modern society. Where ancient wisdom's are either of no value or are only for entertaining value.
The words used "Helplessness" and "Dependency" are meant to mean depressive states of being where non-doing is the way of doing.
It does matter and yet it doesn't matter. Where ever or however your origins have been made to manifest in this here and now. In this Country it doesn't really matter if your ancestors were slaves or survivors of genocide. If your ancestors lost wars or were the ones who one the wars in a very ugly and dishonorable manor. It doesn't matter if you have survived severe neglect, abuse or even torture in your youth. I even write this knowing for many my words will seem cold. They are also applied to me as I'm one of those who were abused and tortured. Adoptive mother even tried to kill me at least three times. Enduring Foster Care abuses. My own ancestors were enslaved by the Vikings for about 500+/- years. My own ancestors even survived the ugly clan wars of Scotland. There is a lot of ugliness in the history of Scotland. I really do not know any more about my own family history.
--------------------------
Personal Note: When I write something that tends to be harsh. I become a mirror to those words. Or at least do my best. So if you see redundant personal information. It is for those who do not know of my past.
Also, You need to know. I'm a very rare bird. Failed adoption and problems in foster care in two different states. They're are not a statistic which applies to me. Adoptions are important and foster care is important. Both saves lives and can be paths for those of becoming productive members of society. For me it just did not work. ...
===============================
Past Remains Present: (Unedited): 13 Dec 2016: 

Decide for yourself to cease being the victim of the past. The past cannot hold you unless it remains a part of your chosen present. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-------------------------
Trucker wisdom:
What you do as a self empowered individual is all about what you do with your right foot. Are you gonna hold the brake pedal like a panicky Pete or are you gonna mash the gas and get yourself down the road?
-------------
Note: the word use of "Gas" is meant for the rookie, as an experienced trucker would question what flavor of diesel 1 or 2? Then argue with you until your brain goes numb.

Time Memories: (Unedited): 01 Dec 2016:

Jehovah is the alpha and the omega, the beginning, ending and everlasting. 

We as human beings ceased to exist less than a second ago and may exist in less than a second from now. All of our past only remains in the memories of those who were present. While all of our hopes and aspirations have yet to begin in every next moment in time to come. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-------------------------------
This may be very obvious to most everyone.
We all exist in this current moment in time and it has already gone. Just like the old movie strips is how we lived our life. Which is only when the light of life shines through each of us. Just as what has passed has become dark and the future is yet dark and uncertain still. This is how we experience life. All of our natural senses only work when the light shines through the film of our life for that brief moment. Then all of what has already been lived. Only resides in our memories. Then what is about to be cast into the light is one of three things, prophetic, probable, possible. Some may even add the forth word which is planned. No matter how much you plan. The film sequence of your life can be altered without any approval from you. Accidents can and do happen. Even those accidents only last for a singular moment in time. Then you are forced to move on. Unless you decide to remain within the confines of your memories. In which I have in order to understand the why's of my youth.
-----------------------------
Remaining in the memories of your own bad and sad life. Can and will only perpetuate your overall sadness and suffering. Unless you have the strong will to analyze what has happened to you from a position of logic and reason. Even still from the position of logic and reason. You can realize the fact that once I was unloved, un-cared for and unwanted. That once I was deemed unworthy of education. That I was once thought of as dumb, stupid and retarded. Even from that self decided space in your brain of logic and reason. How can you still not be sad, unhappy as well as all of those other negative words??
Really, think about that for a moment. If you were to disassociate yourself from your emotions. Then you suddenly become less than human. Is that really the goal. To become less than or to evolve more than what you were a single moment ago. Because, as of right now. The only light which shines upon the old film of your life is that which is only from your memory. The truth of what has happened to you is now gone. Even as the years roll by all of those who have done bad and sad things to you. Most likely do not even think of you or the pain they have brought to you. In which you have decided to continue to live through.
I can attest to you. That I have gone through all of the logic. I have spent much time in prayer and tears. I have come to realize two things. It is not the fault of God and bad people do bad things.
Then you have to not expect any kind of apology from bad people. Because, bad people don't really care about anything outside of their own bodies. So don't hold your breath and don't put your life on hold for them either. Because, a good loving relationship with your parents and family. May never ever happen. Just do your best to get yourself into that positive mental and good spiritual place to forgive them in silence and march forward. Begin to build your new family. In which you can become the wise old matriarch or patriarch. That would be the ideal goal? right? To have a family in which they all desire to have a daily personal relationship with one another. A good family with honor, integrity, honesty and morals as some of the foundational stones to your new family.
Even if you do come from a family of ugliness, abuse and torture. From those fires of great torments. Can you become a saved remnant of them which shall all pass away into nothingness. Not even to be worthy of anyone's memories or history. Purpose and meaning is a sign of a bright future. Where as those without purpose or meaning in life will only find nothingness. To merely exist or survive in life is not thriving in life.
So no matter how bad and sad your life has been. Find your hope and hold onto that courage you had which made you to survive. Even if it was only you who barely survived. Then decide this day. To do more than survive as the victim. Stop being the victim. The victim that you were is now in the past. There is nothing really to understand why? You were only just the body present and if it was not you. Then it would have been someone else, Even a pet. So all of that which you had suffered. It was never ever about you. It was all about them or him or her.
Just know that you were stronger than all of those who did mistreat and abuse you. You were and are victorious. Even if you do not feel like it. Just ask anyone who has ever been in a hard fight and was deemed victorious. How did they feel? They feel like they have been in a fight. In fights sometimes no one really feels like they won. Sometimes, even when the fight is over. New ones begin. Ask or watch any wounded soldier/warrior. Find your new found strength in them. Even those wounded warriors are just like you. Even if you had not fought a defined enemy in some far away land. Still you had to fight daily to survive as they had to. Sometimes, Yours and my childhoods have been completely taken away. That which was is the end of it all. Especially, after you get to watch your loved ones die and then suddenly become the one who must be responsible for everything for their burial or cremation. It doesn't seem to matter if there is or isn't an ongoing relationship. They all may think of you as the bad person. Maybe, I was at one time. Now I'm just the holder of memories as everyone who has ever abused or tortured me has died. I continue on as well as my own children.

Spiritual Love @ 6: (Unedited): 15 Jan 2016:

It is not impossible to love God whom we naturally perceive as absent and yet who is ever present.

C.J. MacKechnie

----------
We are tied into our physical and mental worlds. All that we naturally think we are is wrapped in the incoming information of our external senses from our eyes, ears, skin and nose. Then through the creativity of our own minds. We can create whole new worlds, universes, existences and even new identities.
To further our separation from knowing our true selves (Spirit) and from God. We delve into external fantasies through media. Such as books, music, shows, internet, Television and etc. This continued separation is far worse than the minutes our hours spent engaged in the media of our choosing. Because, our minds are very susceptible to reprogramming or brain washing. Most of humanity isn't even aware of just how easy it is to alter their own way of thinking. So when you listen to that awful music which is deemed ultra cool by the culture you live in. You automatically assume there is no harm to you. But, there is and it is very subtle. The key to the severity of the harm is in the repetition and it your active participation in the content.
Other subtle ways to transform a mind away from your internal spirit and from reconnecting with God. Is to really like music, shows, characters and to only find out that they are very offensive people in their real truthful lives. Then deciding it is OK because you like the character or show they are acting in.
Even to the degree. Where your pastor of a religious church comes out as gay. Yet you remain present in that church and or religion. Yet you continue to attend your religion even though they have decided to accept all into their clergy even those actively engaged in sinful lifestyles.
You cannot ever approach God when there is sin in your life accepted and addicted sins of any kind.
It doesn't matter if the government has legalized sin. in which if your religion and government has legalized and accepted any kind of sin. Then it is they who has separated themselves from God. If you continue to participate within their accepted sin. Then you shall also be separated from God. No matter how much you want the connection. Through your continued participation. You shall share in the consequences of allowing the abomination of desolation into your holy place(s).  You shall become like one of the fallen angels, religions, churches and countries and human beings.
============

Through quietening of our own external world and our own internal mind. Can we then reacquaint our physical self with our true spiritual being. Then from there reach out to touch God. 

C.J.MacKechnie

----------
To disconnect yourself from both the outside world and the running's of your own out of control internal thinking processes. Has to be a choice of yours. Do you really want to disconnect from all of those entertaining outside influences? Do you really want to have control over the absolute free flow of thoughts? Do you want to acquaint yourself with your true self? Do you want to reacquaint yourself with God? These two things are your first choices to make? The simple or not so simple method of meditating helps and assists you to gain control over your own mind. Turning off the media devices and spending some very quiet alone time is the other.
For many humans beings they have already been self conditioned to automatically turn on the cell phone, computer device, television, radio. To be ever surrounded with noise. All of these sounds only distract you away from the truth. The truth of who you are supposed to be. A child of God with full awareness of your own true state of being. As defined by God and not by the rulers of the world. The rulers cannot control you or have any real authority over you if you are governed directly by God. You become a free being who loves everyone, who lives in peace with all, who exists in harmony with all that surrounds them and who cherishes all life.
But before you can reconnect with God. You must first begin to live your life in righteousness and holiness as directly seen and known by God.
==========

When you are finally are able to truly reach out to God. Do not be surprised to discover. That you have always been in His loving hand.

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------
After much time praying, meditating and contemplating those things of God and of quietness. After, you have eliminated all of the sins from your life. After, you have begun to live your outward life with love, Peace and harmony. This is not by duty or because you have to in order to prove it. This is an out expression of who you are and what you have become. This is the evidence of your life's journey so far. Which can only be seen and judged by God. Then is when wonderful things shall happen in it's time.
==========

From your love for God can you begin to discover the true nature of God and just how overwhelmingly wonderful God truly is.

C.J.MacKechnie

--------------
For you to discover. I find that these things are defined by the individual person. Which cannot be proven by any physical means or even expressed by any human means. To express the wonders of God is impossible for the human mind and physical body to fathom. let alone express. This is something in which you have to seek out for yourself. This is your journey which is only for you as we all are individual living beings who cannot share directly with any other. We are just not made that way. We can communicate to the best we can. But, that will always be lacking to some degree. 
===========

The true outward expression of love is absent of pride, ego and arrogance.

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------
The person who has made contact with their true self and have made contact into the spirit. Maybe, even contact with God. These people will be humbled of actions, drives and thoughts. Both inward and outwardly. Pride, ego and arrogance is evidence of the worlds control over their mind and body. 
==========

Compassion and mercy coupled with pride and ego is evidence of heartlessness. No matter the degree of do-gooding. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------
 How many corporate officers or corporate employees do you know of who have much pride and ego. I have met many who walk as if you approach them they automatically know you are not worthy of their presence or time. Even in those organizations where doing good is the business of daily life. Yes, in deed they do good daily and help other they do daily.
Even a heartless person or even a team of heartless people can do the business of doing good for the community. But, in the end for these heartless souls. it only matter what they can get out of it. While at the same time keeping those below them from gaining in any way.
In the corporate business of doing good. Your payroll is set at a certain percentage of cash flow. The only way to gain more for yourself is to control all aspects of total expenses. This also includes payroll. So by keeping your employees so poor that they must depend on government welfare in order to survive. All in the name of more money for you. Well, that is just heartless and inhumane.

Scarred Bravery: Courage Face +12: (Unedited): 08 Dec 2015:

Bravery and courage are easily seen in those scarred individuals who continuously stand-up to face the uncertain unknowns in life. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
Courage Face: (Unedited): 08 Dec 2015: 

The face of courage shall always present itself differently to you in an unexpected way.

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
 How do you see bravery or courage in a person? Is he 6 foot 4? 200pounds of muscled good looks? Looks and appearances can be very deceiving.
What about the perfect failure in life. That person who just never gives up, who never quits?
What about the 5 foot no inches tall and 95 pound kid while wearing gear on the high school football team. This is a kid who faces monsters everyday. Can you say the same thing about yourself.
What about the severely handicapped who was born with the good brain but an absolutely mess of a body. Yet she goes to school every day with a squeaky rolling harness which keeps her mobile and yet she can do very little for herself.
I tell you there is bravery and courage everywhere. It is not what you expect it to be. Can you say that for yourself? To be so afflicted with extreme genetic defects that you would actually go out in public to earn for yourself the right to live. The right to life and the right to exist?
---------------
Are you brave enough to go out in public as a women with no breasts, urine bag, messed up pupils, old wheel chair which has to be plugged in at the Dollar General Market, no family who cares enough to include you and with only friends who are as disabled as you are. Guess what this woman is also their leader and unofficial aunt in authority. Without any real elections or genetic rights. She just is.
I saw this woman risking herself by taking care of her people with that old beat up and bad battery wheel chair. Plugging in to recharge almost every visit on Thanksgiving day. She is a big woman to. Not because she eats, but her kidneys suck. Dollar General Market management is awesome and understanding of their customers situations.
Well are you?

Added on 14 Sept 2024:

Modern Men believe that the wearing of an expressive shirt or hat means their brave and courageous. The truth is even a puppet wears the clothing that the master desires. 

C.J.MacKechnie 

Modern men who wear expressive clothing, hats and costumes and yet do nothing else are not brave or courageous. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Just as the honorable ancestors of old sacrificed everything for the guarantee of the future. You who are of the future must likewise sacrifice everything for the memory of the past as well as guarantee that the future is maintained. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Righteous men faced death and many of them shall never be remembered in order to bring the possibility of a future with liberty and freedom. The wearing of a hat and a shirt is not the equivalent of their blood spilled for you and the present you reside in now. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Unwavering men of righteous principle shall rise up and do those hard things. They shall be men of actionable certainty. They shall not hesitate their activities for the future of freedom, liberty and human rights. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Those men steeped in deep honor and righteousness have already been in the depth of their own heart, mind and soul. They have already shed much effort, sweat and blood to become harden men of profound valor. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Once it is realized that reason and negotiations are deemed useless. Silence shall begin and great violence shall ensue. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Once it realized that every government is against freedom, liberty and human rights for all. All of those persons who represent government entities shall be killed and the leaders shall be executed at every opportunity. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Once the light of freedom, liberty and human rights is extinguished from the whole world. All of humanity will instantly know that any kind of hope for a better life has just ceased. 

C.J.MacKechnie 

Once the value of any human life becomes equated as a simple renewable resource. Human life becomes compared to that of a tree, chicken, oil, coal, tractor and etc. In which there shall be no joy in the continuation of life. 

C.J.MacKechnie

Once human life becomes a simple governed resource. All terms of continuations shall be determined by the history and current productivity levels that the human resource puts forth daily.

Pivots Divots: Aggressive Pivots: Seeking Pivots: Divot Crap: (Edited): 08 Oct 2015:

The pivots you seek may become the divots which cause you to stumble. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------------------
As in anything prophetic, looking for the signs of the times is the same as looking for any pivot points or divots in the turf or sand. They have all already happened and are in the past. What is important is your present state of being. In this presence where you are present is the only place in time where the most profound changes can be made within you and the rest of the world. Part of that is where those purple words below come into play.
===================
Aggressive Pivots: (Unedited): 08 Oct 2015:

The aggressive pivots that thoughtless people make create deep divots that others will need to avoid.

C.J.MacKechnie 

---------------------------
Genuinely respecting the grass you play upon - no matter the name of the field, the official use of the field or the quality of the field - shows the quality of the person you are. It matters not if you're an amateur, student, novice or professional.
=======================
Seeking Pivots: (Unedited): 08 Oct 2015:

The pivots you seek in others are less real to you then the divots in your own life.

C.J.MacKechnie

------------------------------
Sometimes we become so concerned with the pivot points in other people's lives that we forget about those deep divots of our own ugliness in our own lives. Judging whether a person has had a genuine pivot point in his own life is something which may be important to know. But looking at those who have had a history of failure while ignoring your own or covering up your own divots in life may be very disingenuous.
===================
Divot Crap: (Unedited): 08 Oct 2015: 

Covering up your divots with any kind of crap still stinks badly.

C.J.Mackechnie

 --------------
This is just obvious.
You always make your divots as they were before you screwed up. You make it exactly as if you were never there. With grass, over time, this can happen. But with people, the harm, pain and suffering you have caused may never be completely healed from. Of course this is in degrees and those degrees cannot be defined by you, only by those who were harmed by you.
But as with anything, even grass, you can replace it, water it, fertilize it and add good soil. There will be that time that the harmed grass must do it's part and grow on it's own, even while other unknown things trample upon it on a regular basis.
But look out and observe that special kind of grass, the kind of grass that has been trampled, beaten and ripped up so many times but that still lives and even thrives. These kinds of people may be the kinds of people whom you need around you in some capacity. These are the ones who always seek out the light of goodness, who dig deep into the rich soil. They just don't ever give up or give in or quit or stop or run away. They are ever-present. It doesn't matter what ignorant amateur with prideful degrees slings at them from a dozen yards away, they always seem to continue on. These are the ones you need around you so that you can keep your own pride in check. This is not in reference to bad people who always act badly. You will know these types of people whom I refer to. They have survived great sufferings and yet do for others without any expectant reward. Their smiles are deeply genuine.

Entirely Your Future: (Unedited): 18 Dec 2014:

By taking responsibility and ownership of your present self. Your future shall belong entirely to you.  

C.J.MacKechnie

=====================
I see in my everyday walk in life many helpless people. But, who just cannot and will not without someone to do it for them. It is almost a slave mindset in a world where excessive freedom abounds.
There are those who seem to be so fearful of everything. That they just cannot move on their own power and if you try to help them. For them any kind of change or even movement is something to dread.
Then you have those Ten percenters and One percenters. They are those rare persons who seem to be self directed and self motivated into continually moving in the direction of their own self choosing.

======================
What are Ten Percenters?
This is the top ten percent of the total population. Those who seem to just do as they do. With minimal direction, assistance or guidance,

If you put Ten Percenters in a room. What shall arise is another group of standouts which will equate to ten percent of this population. In this group you will also have the one percent. Who will stand above the total.

---------------------------
What are One Percenters?
This is the top one percent of the total population. Those who are self directed and self motivated. Those who need zero direction, assistance or guidance.

If you put One Percenters in a room. What shall arise is another group of standouts which will equate to ten percent of this population. In this group you will also have the one percent. Who will stand above the total. These One percent of the one percent will be the Tenths.
 -----------------------
The tenths are the elite of the elites. 

I think Tenths is correct. What is one percent of one percent?

Thankful Present: (Unedited): 28 Nov 2013:

Being thankful for what is present now. Is more important than the bad and sad memories of the past you survived. 

C.J.MacKechnie

==================================================
 My childhood story may sound bad and sad. But, there are a large number of children who have survived more abuses and tortures than I have. Then there are those children who died at the hands of their evil parents and relatives.
If you are reading this now. You have survived your awful past and stand victorious. Be thankful. Yes, thankful for your past. Because, your enduring strength is proven. Even though you may feel like the damaged victim. You survived it all and hopefully you are now in a safe place.

I am today, very thankful for what I have endured. I am very thankful for my wife and children. I am thankful for the life I have and had. I have experienced much and evolved from all of those negative experiences. This is important. So is the life you have had and will have. I hope you can find the positive in your whole life. Even if it does seem like that golden needle in a sea of golden hay. Your search for the positives in your life is well worth it.All of the abuse and tortures you have had to endure. Was never about you. It was always them, those who did those terrible things to you. You were just the body present.

Everyday is a Thanksgiving. I hope everyone can live everyday of their lives in a joyful celebration.

Pleasant Space: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

A pleasant work space is made up of pleasant people who desire to be more than just present. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================================================
The people who make up a pleasant work place are those who seem to want to be there and actually show up early to make unnecessary preparations, which creates a welcoming environment. Who want to always to the best job they can and enjoy doing so. Who are polite in the course of their day and want to be. Who always answers the call for assistance when there is a problem and is satisfied when the thing is all good to go.
This is a pleasant work place. 
=================================================
The ugly work place and space is where management always has to watch those dark hiding places where people like to get away. The management has to offer training on how to be nice under the guise of customer service. The break room becomes a disaster area. The employee conversation seems to joke about customer stupidity and meanness. The outside smoking area with butt containers. Still needs to be cleaned up. The employees do not seem to care about other employees and refuse to go out and help others when there is a need.  The back stabbing. The importance of social communication when work duties are needed to be completed. Not focused on the job is evidence that the job is of no importance.
==================================================
If you have to train people to care. Then you are hiring people who do not care and will not care. Because, most people know how to spot a phony smile.
The mean customer is a reflection of your employees apathy.
An employee who is only there for the paycheck. is not concerned about the company, the customer or you.
An employee who only does the absolute minimum to keep their job. Is not concerned with your bottom line, Profit/Loss ratios or even thefts.
Just listen to your employees when they are unaware of your presence. From their words you will know the effectiveness of your management team and Human Resources Department.

Present Destiny: (Unedited): 06 July 2013

Fear not the unknown destiny you pursue with vigor. Because, your destiny will always manifest within every present moment you are aware. 

C.J.MacKechnie

============================
Your destiny has never been unknown or uncertain. Only your awareness of your destiny is the source of all of your uncertainty.  You are where you should be.You are there in that spot you sit. Your destiny always manifests in your present. Regardless if you are aware or not. All of your past decisions and actions, brought you here to this very moment.
If your current present isn't as you desired it to be. Then change something or change everything. Become self correcting and self governing towards the destiny you envision for yourself. You are the sole empowered being of your own self defined reality. Of course unless God says different.

Factual Concerns: (Unedited): 05 July 2013:

Not being concerned with your present will translate into your future. Your future state of being will be the factual result of what you truly cared about in the past. 

C.J.MacKechnie

========================
That which you think about in the here and now is that which is important to you right now.  So in your irresponsibility you desire to spend all of your time playing games instead of growing your intellect or evolving your soul. You will have neither and a profound sense of critical stagnation in your life. A stagnation so profound that achieving victories in new games or using new more powerful machines can not even quench.
If you do not begin to spend time in developing your intellect and physical skills. You will find yourself unable to even play the games you really want to play. Your gaming friends will migrate away from you as they migrate away from the old and obsolete. Your real life friends will begin to disappear as they go off to college and develop new friendships which will go along with them in their journeys. Then other friends who do not go off to college will begin their working careers out of trade schools. Thus, a third tier of friends which will leave you. You need to realize that it was you who became stagnant by choice in a universe that is constantly moving. So, just by doing doing which will benefit your life is the fundamental choice which ended all of your friendships. It is not your friends fault. They could not and would not remain stagnant just for you. Doing so would jeopardize the quality of life in their future.
For you it is not to late. Get focused back into your studies. Create a plan. Work the plan until it is completed. No quitting. Quitting is not an option to even be thought of. Accept no excuses. Start over if you have to. Begin at the bottom. End the stagnation in your life by you moving forward under your own power. Even if you have to go get that GED. Then do so. Then go to a trade school and get a trade. Then don't stop there. Keep going. Go to college and get that Associates then Bachelors, maybe 2 or 3. Go for that Masters or 2. Follow up with A PHD. Your limitations in this life is created by you or those which you have agreed with.

Healing Re-Connection: (Unedited): 12 June 2013:

The healing you seek is already present. All you need to do is just believe and make the re-connection. C.J.MacKechnie

===========
For some the question originates with believe in who or what? And make the re-connection with who or what?
This leads to the question, was I once connected to who or what? The simple answer is yes you were.
The rest is for you to discover on your own journey of discovery or re-discovery.
From the discovery of your own true nature will lead you to the re-discover your true identity and true beginnings. A pure journey into the amazement. Become like a child who discovers the miracle of a beautiful flower in bloom. Especially if it wasn't there yesterday. Reacquaint with your purest and most sacred innocence.
========
The infinite power of healing is is focused from the capacity of your love. Learn to love yourself. Become the embodiment of love. Live, believe, think and feel like your all love. From this can pure healing begin within you and forever emanate out from you into others who are accepting of your gift of love.
========
Have you ever met some of those autistic persons who are incredibly quick to forgive and forget. Who just so easily show and express love to everything in the world. So, how is it that we so called healthy and normal people always think there is something wrong with THEM. When the truth of the matter is we are the blinded ones who are deficient and unable to even see what is right with THEM.

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.

Ugly makeup: (Unedited): 12 May 2013:

No matter the amount of makeup or surgery. It can never hide the ugliness of your being. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
Your sins. Your mistreatment's and cruelty's of your human brothers and sisters. Your abuses to the animals and of the natural world. Your careless attitudes from your internal apathy for all which is not for you. Is all of the ugliness within you which cannot be covered up with any makeup or plastic surgery or through injections of poisons. Your ugliness will always be ever present and emanated from within you.

Until such a time that you take in that which is truly beautiful and express beauty from within. This is another thought process based on the partial logical formula of LIFE.

Life = Love + Peace + Harmony

=====================

Tolerated Funerals: (Edited): 23 Sept 2012:

The family who only tolerates one another during family funerals will all be together forever in the afterlife.
C.J.MacKechnie

===================
The family who can't stand to have any sort of daily relationship with one another will run to the side of a deceased loved one. This confuses me to no end.  How is it suddenly important to say goodbye, or to apologize for all of your misdeeds now? Those things were of absolute importance when they were still living. It is important to have daily living funerals with all of your loved ones so that way if a tragedy happens everyone will be at peace. Go and apologize right now to all of your family members whom you have offended and make active and continuing amends. Forgive your family member in your own privacy and re-establish communication with them. Your family is supposed to be the ones on your team. If your lifestyle is in error, repent and flee from your wicked ways. If you're under the thumb of addictions, tell everyone and seek help.
If your sins have already destroyed your family, do not seek and do not have any other lovers until you have unsolicited permission from your adult children and only if there is no hope of returning to your "X". If one child or the "X" says "no" forever, you will then know the degree of pain and suffering you have caused them. C.J.MacKechnie

:THE LIVING FUNERAL:

A loved one is about to physically die and transition into the afterlife. This is the final time to celebrate their life. So declare the joyful and somber toasts. This is the time for the telling of remembered stories of old. This is the time to laugh and cry. The time to proclaim your love. The time to ask for forgiveness and to say you're sorry for ALL of your misdeeds, even if they were many decades ago. Offer your loved one your blanket forgiveness.

Let them know it is alright to go and to freely go without any reservations. 

It will be the duty of the responsible and wise family member to get all of the relatives to practice the living funeral. Each one offers an outward verbal prayer, all holding hands together. All hugging and all crying. All together as a whole and united family.

There may be fears. This is very understandable. This may be difficult to understand. Even though you are living in the here and now, and you may even still live for a few more decades more, it is possible for you to be with your loved one in the afterlife at the exact moment they pass from this time. Remember this? I'm paraphrasing. Everything which has been created, has already begun and has already ended and is already continuing on. This is a simplified version of how time works in the third Heaven. In other words, we each are being born and are living and have died, right now. In this very basic understanding of the perception of time, you can be with your loved one as they pass and yet still be alive in this here and now. Prior to their passing let them know you may appear to be older than you are now, so do not be confused. Then offer your hand to them and walk into heaven together.

When the time gets very close, your loved one may begin to see and hear things. It is OK. It is either real or not or both. Ease their mind. Tell them it's OK to confide in you with what they are seeing or hearing, so as to logically ascertain the reality of his/her body's ending. Tell them they will be OK. Reassure them always even when it is tough for you. Your loved one may not be able to speak of what they hear or see. This is because of the drugs or it is not for you to know. This too is OK and is not intended to offend you. The "not for you to know" is for your overall protection. That is OK as well. What is important is to be loving, comforting and present in this sacred gift of life's transition and continuation.

When the body becomes quiet, the heat of the hands gone, each of you verbally say your farewell, your love, instructions for them to continue into heaven through the light. They can see and hear you. They will not be sickly, weak or tired. Their aches and pains will be gone. They will be with you. In case they have some confusion, your verbal instructions will hopefully set them straight on course to their continuation of life.
