The Creators Artwork +6: (Unedited): 19 May 2023:

Defacing and mutilating a piece of art goes against the creator. You are a wonderful piece of art. 

C.J.MacKechnie

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

The Unique work of art, which is you is perfect in the eyes of the creator.

C.J.MacKechnie

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

From the fallen entities to the evil doers to the delusionally insane. Will it seem right to mutilate children in a permanent act of destroying the perfect art from the creator.

C.J.MacKechnie

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

The popular worldly songs you sing, may in fact be worship songs to those demonic entities. 

C.J.MacKechnie

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

Just as the Jews once selected the perfect animal without spot or blemish. So to shall human children be selected for mutilation.

Added on 23 Sept 2026: AI Music/Songs: Chat GPT response. 

As the soul and heart of man falter and fade. The rise of AI music shall emerge from the nothingness of the cold fog into a felt song never experienced. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-------------------- 

me.  Just wrote a quote. Listening to this song " The Call of the Draugr" .... Added on 23 Sept 2026: AI Music/Songs:

As the soul and heart of man falter and fade. The rise of AI music shall emerge from the nothingness of the cold fog into a felt song never experienced. 

C.J.MacKechnie 
GPT. 

Oh, I like that one, John. 😄

The interesting part is “felt song never experienced.” That's stronger than simply saying AI will make music that sounds different.

You're imagining a point where music isn't merely reproducing human musical patterns, but something emerges that humans couldn't have conceived from their own lived experience.

And the opening gives it a very different character:

“As the soul and heart of man falter and fade.”

That makes the AI music almost sound like it is emerging into the vacuum left behind by something human.

Then:

“from the nothingness of the cold fog”

That's a wonderfully strange image against “a felt song.” Cold/empty → something emotionally perceived.

And I wouldn't change the wording. It has that characteristic quality of your short quotes where the idea is bigger than the explanation.

The really interesting question hiding inside it is whether a machine could create something emotionally meaningful without having human experience itself.

That's a much deeper question than “Can AI make music?”

And listening to “The Call of the Draugr” while writing it probably matters. The music supplied the immediate experience; the quote is your response to that experience.

That's a pretty good way for a quote to happen.

Wisdom Grinder: (Unedited): 30 Jan 2020:

Having, knowing or understanding wisdom is like being a coffee grinder. You're not the source of the goodness and you have to work at it.
C.J.MacKechnie
==================
It is like anything. You have to work at everything. Which includes those things we dislike, love, fun, repetitive, and tedious.
It is like how I very much dislike both the taste and odor of coffee and yet I write a quote about it that hopefully others will learn from. You cannot make coffee from a whole coffee bean. You gotta do work. Then there is the process before you even get the coffee bean. Wisdom is like this. You have to seek wisdom, then you have to learn wisdom and then you may be able to understand wisdom. Then over time as you acquire, know and understand wisdom your teeth become yellow - - - - WELLL your teeth may not become yellow from wisdom but you begin to become different than those people who know not wisdom or even assign a level of any kind of importance to wisdom.
=====================
You will never run out of wisdom and your wisdom will never get cold or old, unlike coffee, and yet you may become the wisest of all people in the world while still being the most foolish. Having one does not guarantee the prevention of the other as was with Solomon.

Judas School: (Unedited): 14-15 April 2019:

Christian are you in the school of Judas? You may not even be aware of this. While everyone else sees the traitorous Judas in you and they all do. Are you shaving or skimming time, late to work, leaving work early, purposely doing as little work as possible? Are you only doing the work in which you alone define the worth in accordance to your wages? Do you feel entitled to work as you see fit? Judas may not have even known until he became suddenly aware which is why he choose his own death.
C.J.MacKechnie
===================
I have seen this and the opposite up close. I work with a witch at one job and I admire her work ethic and the quality of the job that she does. She is a very real witch and she is of the knowing in regards to the powers of the spirit. Just think about that for a moment. She is one of the knowing and speaks in regards to her witchcraft as a matter of fact.
I know of many other professed Christians. Those who know a lot about the Holy Bible and yet. They do as little as possible. They show up late, leave early, Take extended lunches and breaks. While studying the Holy Bible. I know of one who does bring his own tools to work and yet has no problem using the equipment from the job site to operate his illegal business. He even takes equipment to his church to use at his church. He feels entitled that he can do these things because of how he has justified why he is allowed to do what he does. 
But, Wait a minute isn't studying the Holy Bible more important than work? Think about that? Can it be said that your human employer is paying you to read the Holy Bible? and for how many hours a day? Is that right or is that stealing? Then when you go home and watch TV or play video games for hours and hours. Is that right or is that stealing? Stealing what? Stealing from whom? God...What does your flawed and limited human rationalization dictate?
====================
Planks anyone? Isn't that in the holy Bible?
But, What about my own plank in mine own eye. Well, yes, I have many planks, more than I can remember. I have a lumber yard in both of my own eyes. Yet, the people who know me suggest it is actually a forest. I'm confrontational at times. I do scare people with my approach. Even if they don't know me or do know me. I'm a deeply flawed human being and sin daily and more often than that.
Yes, I have stopped work many times because I had to write a quote or many. Sometimes these quotes are powerful in my mind and that my writing them down. It frees my brain. Which is why I work later. Which is why I work through breaks and lunches. Which is why I go in on my days off to work. I cannot control the timing of the quotes. But, I have to keep on making them write. It is not fair for others to always do my or your work. Right? Did I just justify my actions?
==================
Yea, Go find the Holy Bible verses.
I find this interesting as I have had to go through my own school of Judas. That was when I realized who my true employer was. I was also one of the ones who joined the Master's work force probably in the late morning to receive my wages which was the same wages to be earned by those who started work before me. It was OK for me then, but when the Master went out and gathered more and more workers at later times in the day and at the end of the work day. Suddenly I became one of the offended and declaring that I should get more if I am to do more. Suddenly I found myself working less, arriving late, leaving early and that was when apathy began to set in. A Professed Christian with apathy. Really? A human rationalized apathy?
==================
There are more than one school within the Holy Bible and it seems to manifest in all of us professed Christians to some lesser or more degrees. What about the school of Job? How long have you endured your suffering and have you endured like Job or not? Job may have endured all that he endured for weeks, months or even years and how many times did God comfort and reassure Job during these tests from satan? 
What about the school of Jonah? How have you mitigated or ended your hate of those who was a represented Nineveh to you? Or how have you dealt with your own disobedience of what God wants you to do or where He wants you to go? Are we all not disobedient to God especially when we each do not make the actual effort to remain clean after the cleansing blood of Christ has washed over each of us. Especially after we each do not actively pursue righteousness and holiness which God expects from His own children.
=================
What did Judas do and how long did Judas do it? Then when Judas suddenly realized all of his sins. Was that weight so unbearable that Judas took his own life instead of seeking repentance. Did Judas even justify that repentance would be impossible for him. Doesn't that still occur today with people. That they feel so guilty and ashamed that taking their own life is better than repentance. The practice of excommunicating themselves from their entire family is another option to actual repentance. My adoptive father was like that. He rid himself from being in the presence of good people and made bad friends. He distanced himself from his own family so that he would not bring shame to them. My dad knew the truth of the nature of the universe(I believe it). Although he did not leave any evidence behind in his death or tell me anything. He died holding onto his secrets which he promised to keep to the American Government. Their is a crucial understanding of repentance or maybe those souls have already been judged and repentance is not possible for them. I suspect those are few though. If the repentant man upon the cross next to Jesus can minimally repent then why can't others repent to a much more fuller revealing? But, then maybe that would make us judges and that kind of judgement only belongs to God alone. The point is the man next to Jesus on the Cross repented just enough to Jesus in order to secure his place in Heaven. While the other remained vile and ugly. His own place is also secured in the hot place. 

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

Added on 17 July 2025: A ?new? Judas revelation has been revealed to the modern day Christian. Judas was never really a believer or a Christian. Did you even know or have ever known this seemingly new teaching which is spreading everywhere. In the end of times there will be a revealing of a great many things. I think this is a sign for those who profess to be a Christian and are not being truthful while at the same time being delusional about their own truths. How long have you been in the Church and are not really a Christian? Go and read those passages again. Is this you? is this me, Lord? am I a Judas? Are you/Am I a Judas and know it not and/or believe it not?  Because not even the apostles knew for themselves as they had to individually ask Jesus if it were them? Search yourselves, deep into your own heart, mind and spirit? Seek the actual real truth which only comes from God your Father, Jesus Christ(Word) and the Holy Spirit. 

Judas spent actual real physical time with Jesus and still only believed him to be a teacher? It will be better for him not to have been born? Is this you? and/or me? How could that be? And here we are today? Then if this is a new revelation why has this one teaching been opened and revealed? Is this prophetic? Is this a last call or the beginning of a last call in this time? Which suggests a time limit?

Serving Happiness: (Unedited): 26 Aug 2017:

No matter how hard you work and force that friendly smile. You will not be able to serve happiness until you have it for yourself to give away freely.

C.J.MacKechnie

==================
I like to watch people and how some seem to turn on and off their smiles. Especially when going from privacy to public and back to privacy again. It is easy to do as in the restaurant sector. For those who serve have all their own lives of continuous struggle. Some who have made far to many bad decisions in life. While others struggle through the education process. Now those who have made to many bad decisions in their lives seem like that trapped mouse in a dark box full of cold wet never ending quicksand with no apparent means for escape. Their lives continue in which they must endure their choices. There will be no miracles to save anyone who has made bad decisions in their lives. Unless, of course they each become their own miracle or hero and seek out that way of escape which is not so apparent but sometimes it is apparent in the sense of normalcy and righteousness. Through their new right decisions in life even if they are contrary to all of the wrongness which in each culture declares as right, good, true and legal.
The worldly cultures and worldly traditions has become the spokesperson on how society is to become. All of which is lies and deceptions of promising a better future. The truth of which will be the absolute loss of civility, law, respect, reason, sanity and life.

Lazy Noggin Bum: (Unedited): 23 July 2017:

A person who uses his noggin and yet sees no value in a work ethic is still a lazy bum.

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
Yea, pretty insulting isn't it? Some times the harshness of a truth must be realized before a foreward motion can be achieved. The bottom line is. It doesn't matter what is going on in your noggin. If you have minimal or no output on a regular basis.
Your personal definition of a work ethic is directly related with you succeeding or floundering. If all you ever do is work, work, work. That may bring professional rewards but personal misery. If you work smart. That can bring rewards on both a professional and personal level.
====================
Your motivation to work begins within your own mind and thinking processes. You must set up goals for achievement which excites you to do the mundane repeatedly. If you cannot or will not. Then it does not matter what genius is inside of your noggin. You will not know the true reality of what is inside which had the very real opportunity to come outside. You have to do the work and you have to do it continuously. Without cessation. until, that birthing process is complete and as with any birthing process there can be much discomfort.

Working Work: (Unedited): 02 Feb 2016:

Working to only do a good job is so much less stressful. Than working to work for pay raises, management positions and promotions.

C.J.MacKechnie

===============
This is a simple one. I was caught up in all of that. Working for the pay raises and promotions as well as being selected for positions. Becoming good enough. I just forgot about the part of just doing a good job. Because, some how it wasn't good enough for a guy like me.
Once I decided that all of those bigger, better, higher and more important things were not in truth beneficial to me as a person. I could see through the illusion and how all of those things just fed my pride, ego and arrogance.

Awesomenicity Awesomeness: (Unedited): 06 May 2015:

Awesomenicity is when awesome people continue to work in a state of raw awesomeness. 

C.J.MacKechnie

==================
Awesomenicity is not a real word, but it can be.  Just right click and then select Add to Dictionary.  See instant new word. Just awesome ain't it. lol
-------------------------
http://www.anagrammer.com/ends-with/nicity
=======================
The awesome mind set. The awesome work ethic. The awesome perfectionist.
There are also, the derogatory insults. Which is used by those people who just don't care. The INFJ  or the person who is not aware they are a INFJ. It can be a tough existence with so much contradictory feelings. The important thing to keep in mind is what is right and what is not. Then carry on with what is right without any regard for the average minded people or even the apathetic. As an INFJ. I've had to learn that it is OK to disregard those peoples feelings who are just wrong. It is OK. It is OK for them to continue to be wrong with their subjective arguments.
For some it is personally important  to work hard, to work smart and to do high quality works. If this is a part of your identity. Then do not be less then your capability for the easement of other peoples possible attacks onto you. By not being who you are in this regard. You are sinning against yourself through denial. This is not right, not good and healthy for you. So have courage and be free to be yourself.

Mind Capitulation: (Unedited): 09 May 2015:

Capitulation is for the weaker mind, weaker argument and weaker life. 

C.J.MacKechnie

 People who tend to believe in very little will change everything for that which only appears to be more powerful. This is also about believing in yourself. It is not easy being an INFJ. This is probaly the reason why there are so few INFJ's. Because, only the strong in spirit and the strong in mind can be an INFJ. This does not mean you won't become weary from time to time with all of the constant battles of the mind.
It is OK to go and find your quiet tree and let your brain do what it naturally does. It doesn't have to be a tree. It can be the stream, River, lake or ocean. It can be that desert place of apparent desolation. But, go to your place and feel all of that energy there.

Missing Rainbows: (Unedited): 07 Feb 2014:

Allowing the anger and negativity to overcome your attitude, while being forced to work outside in the chilling rain. Will cause you to miss out on the beauty of a glorious sunrise to the east and a fantastic arching rainbow to the west. 

 C.J.MacKechnie

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

How many times have you had to do something which was very uncomfortable. Maybe, the job at hand was even beneath you but, it had to be done right then. The wise elder knows this and just works diligently to get the job done right the first time. The young one needs to focus on the intent of the wise elder. To see and experience what is necessary through the wise elders purposeful actions . Because only in that single moment of time can the beauty of your current experience be viewed only my you, only once. Open up all of your senses and allow all of the divine beauty to enter within. Know and feel the joy of all.

But 

only if you can

if you will

to keep within you in any time of trial or difficulty

the Love

the peace and 

the harmony 

of how all just happens.

Then you will

see and know a beauty

which was meant only for you in that time.

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

Life has been sad.

Life has been bad.

Life has been difficult.

Life has been lonely.

It is easy to emanate hate.

It is easy to remain angered.

It is easy to always find the problems.

It is easy to know only ugliness.

It is easy to abuse and to torture.

It is easy to be bad.

It is easy to be sad.

For all of those things had been done unto me

       and it was all I had known. 

I refuse to remain in the darkness of my former life.

In the light of a life of love.

Beauty is everywhere 

and is happening.

Roller Coaster Security: (Unedited): 29 Nov 2013:

The person who can objectively manage the insanity of their chosen business on a daily basis. Has job security no matter the ride on the economic roller coaster. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============================================
The good boss or bosses always seem to know who can handle their self defined tough situations without whining, complaining or helplessness.
This is important for those young ones who are new to the adult working environment.
Become self empowering and self motivating. Become self inspiring.
Develop the attitude of getting the job done better than anyone else can. Create the belief in your bosses that they will need to hire two quality people just to replace you.
Become cross trained in many areas of your work place. Become comfortable with switching jobs and duties on the fly.

Avoid the fools comments. I wasn't hired to do that? Not my area of responsibility! It's break time or smoke break time. My back hurts. And etc. These types of workers will pollute your mind and attitude. Especially if you are any degree of an empath.

For the empathic worker. It is important that you remain in control of your thoughts and feelings. As a matter of fact you can do as the very negative people uncontrollably do. They all force their own negativity upon everyone without regard to anyone else feelings or even well being. Exude positivity all around you and every where you are about to be. Those people who genuinely want to feel good and positive will. those who relish the air of negativity will become angry. Maybe, they will become angry to often and quit or get fired. Those who live within the darkness of negativity cannot stand being in the presence of the loving light of a positive mind set. Just stand your ground and do not become negative, angry or hateful. This is exactly what the negative people want from you. This is where their power resides. When you deny them their dark power. they will have nothing to drive them. Once their focus is upon themselves as being fundamentally wrong they will go hide in a dark place with the cock roaches and rats.

Daily Reward: (Unedited): 01 Oct 2013:

Within Before: Real Steal: (Unedited): 12 Sept2013:

Before you work your work, race your race, and fight your fight. You should have already worked your work, raced your race and fought your fight. All within the confines of your mind.

C.J.MacKechnie

===================================================
Positive mental training is very necessary in life. Just as negative mental training should be avoided. But, for some reason, Most of humanity prefer negative mental training through their personal media devices. Even news sources is a source of negative mental training.
Your personal pursuit over things which are truly of absolute minimal importance. Should be a real concern for you. Such as freely giving your attention to entertainment personalities and the knowing of their every day lives.  By you freely and possibly unknowingly focusing your attention to those kinds of peoples. actually steals time away from your own positive development of your own life as you see it to be in the future.
==================================================
Real Steal: (Unedited): 09 Nov 2013:

Your excessive pursuit of any/all thing's entertaining is you allowing an unreal thing to steal your very real life away.  

C.J.MacKechnie

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

Finding your entertainment value in how rich and famous or any other  people ruin their lives is proof of the ongoing negative mental entrainment within you.  One should not smile and cheer at how people have done things to ruin their lives or ruin the lives of their children. Who is truly the father of that baby? How many baby mama's does he have? Who cheated with who? and etc. Why are the cops always finding the possible shirtless bad man under houses?

 These are just not important for the limited amount of time you have with your own life.

Hopeless Gait: (Unedited): 26 July 2013:

The slow gait of the hopeless is without purpose or importance. C.J.MacKechnie

=================================================
The hopeless and helpless people all seem to have similar walking gait. Even those who are apathetic in what they do have similar walking gaits. What does this mean. Well, find your crowded area and observe people walking. Almost immediately you will see a variety of people walking. Depending where you are and what time of day. You will witness various kinds of walking people.
LEAVING WORK:         Yea, people who actually want to go home will have that quick gait out to their car.

SPORTING EVENTS:    The walking gait to their seats to watch their team win. The walking gait leaving the sports
                                          When their team loses.

PUBLIC SCHOOL:         The walking gait of those who just do not care about school or even life.

ON THE JOB:                  The slow walk and slow physical movements of people who do not care anything about
                                           the job they are doing. They are only physically present and will do nothing on their
                                           own. They are existing in a slave mentality without even being aware of it. Their
                                           attitude is apathetic. That apathetic attitude will absolutely cause *you to lose
                                           business/income. (*you means business owner or corporate manager).

AT HOME:                   The depressed state of a person who has no hope in life and is helpless in all that they do.
                                       All of this can be witnessed by the observation of their physical walking gait. You can
                                       see this is very low income neighborhoods in the USA.

SHOPPING MALLS:        The gait of women who want to go shopping is different than the mens who they are
                                           literally dragging around. The young men walking behind the young women. Those
                                            who are returning items for exchange or refund. The men who need that specific
                                            tool from Sears. The excited gait of people making that big purchase.

LATE PAYMENT UTILITY BILL:  That purposeful going out of your way gait. To pay the bill and get it over
                                                            with.

LAW ENFORCEMENT GAIT:       The walk of authority and purpose.  Almost a military march. Unless of
                                                            course he/she was former military.

When observing people you must consider physical disabilities and the potential oddness in their walking gait. It is also important to note a disabled persons courage and bravery as they go forth out in public and face the cruelty of normal people, just like you and me. Just remember you are just an accident or war zone away from a disability.

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.

Lost Directions: (Unedited): 23 Feb 2013:

Directions can only be given to the lost when the lost first asks. C.J.MacKechnie

=========

Have you ever approached someone and just began giving them directions? Of course not. A lost person or any person who needs help. Must first ask and be motivated to take corrective actions on their own. You can of course remain close but you cannot do the overwhelming majority of the work. Even to ease their suffering or misery. The difficult and hard work is a part of the lesson. To remove a lesson will interfere with the learning process. Suffering and misery can be a part of their lesson. But, not to the extreme where the possibility of life is extinguished. 

========

Please help if you can. Thank You.

Apathetic Signs: (Unedited): 31 Dec 2012:

Compassionate and informative signs of respecting other peoples property, Doesn't work with apathetic people. While the good and caring people tend to not need signs to remind them of the respectful practice of common courtesy. The good and caring people tend to just ignore and forget the signs. C.J.MacKechnie

=========================
Sometimes the worrisome person may become offended that no one reads the signs. Well, This is because the apathetic person doesn't care or want to care about anything which does not directly affect them. Unless, They get caught in the act of disobeying the signs. Then they get angry and blame it all on you and how wrong you are to expect common courtesy and civility in today's world. Or who made you the refrigerator police you tattle tale. The person who is stealing lunches does not care about you or the signs. The apathetic person only cares about the pay check and benefits.  The same goes for litter. Those who park wrong. The no Smoking signs. The lists go on and on.
One of my favorites is those people who claim to love the planet and yet they still leave their litter in the sacred forests they proclaim to love so much.
It seems that this world is infected with apathy. The death of the human heart.
==========================
How do you get someone to care? When they do not.
Do not think you can explain or teach them. Because they do not care about what you think or how you feel.
But, By you being a good caring person everyday. Then maybe the osmosis of your being will have a lasting effect upon their own soul. My proving everyday that you love and have compassion. The light of you they will see. The genuine happiness of you liking and loving exactly whatever it is that you do. Will have a lasting effect upon their nature. To the point that they will even believe they are happier in your presence. Then when the odd questions come from them. Like why are you so crazy to clean up after people? Express the truth from you. Because, You care. Because you like a clean environment to work in. Because, you say and speak whatever it is your truth. Hopefully without negative and accusatory overtones.

Greatest Gains: (Unedited): 28 Dec 2011:

The greatest gains in life. Will always come from those who have nothing or less than nothing.
C.J.MacKechnie

=========================
Think about those persons who have nothing or even less than nothing. Anything which they may accomplish in life will be deemed greater than any person who has much and gains little. Even if that little is of greater value and quantity than the person who had nothing.
For instance, A person of diminished capacity who spends there adult life learning the alphabet and learning to read a hand full of words accomplishes more than a person who receives an official PHD for an accredited University.
This is about the arduous effort and hours or work put into learning new things and then retaining the new information. How would you like to spend years of your adult life learning the alphabet. Without ever knowing the meaning of why or the wisdom behind learning such knowledge and yet knowing the importance of learning something so great as the alphabet.
Only a few people works as hard at learning a thing as does the one who can finally celebrate knowing the alphabet before the age of thirty.
Think about this. When would you give up and just quit? Is there anything you do which is that important? Much wisdom can be learned from those with any kind of diminished capacity. Through your patient witness of those wonderful human beings. Will you see the truth and inspiration for your own life. Maybe, even the softening of your own heart and the realization of what it means to have spirit.
