Baseball Life: (unedited): 17 May 2015:

Life is like Baseball.

When your up to bat. You have 9 men/women facing you, who will do everything they can, to stop you. Maybe cheat or even harm you. While there are many others who will do nothing more than cheer you on or boo you into loud submission. So do you walk out of the dugout with your bat in hand or do you leave the ball field with your bag?

C.J.MacKechnie

============================= 
This is also for women and softball. It is still the same lesson in everyday life.
==============================
I got to play Little League Baseball for two seasons. In Clearwater Florida. My first year I was awful. Probably because no one realized I was nearly blind(20/900+). Until, a school teacher asked me a question in class. Which never happened. Ever. I sat in the back of the class oblivious to what ever the teacher was doing and she called upon me to answer a question written on the black board. I could not see it. So she asked me to come closer and I still could not see. Then two or three other times she asked me until I was right next to her. I remember nothing else. Except going to Pearle vision centers and walking out with very heavy glasses and seeing trees and clouds. That night I saw the moon and stars. It was amazing.
The following year of baseball. My dad coached and I went from no hits to becoming one of the better on base hitters of the team. I began to love the game of baseball. Even though at the time I was still trying to grasp it. The smell of the clay and grass was just awesome to me. This is the place I want to play forever in. It wouldn't be so as I spent my first night in foster care in jail. Can you imagine a child who has been so abused and witness/recipient to much physical violence. Is the one who goes to jail. I guess it was the way it was back then in the mid 1970's
My opportunity for baseball was nearly over. I was in a foster home in which the income I brought into the house was of supreme importance. So the male foster parent was convinced to take me to Largo little league to play ball. I knew he didn't want to and seemed like he was forced to.  
So what happened after only a few games. The short drive to the ball park was awful. I sat enduring threats after threats. I could not think about baseball. Only jail or worse. I quit. They were happy. Besides they were starving me as well. Of course the final action I did. Proved to everyone that I was the bad apple. bad kids do not deserve to play baseball. That is how baseball ending for me. 
Even today, I look at every ball field I drive by and smile. I even work on them now.
After all these years. I can see the life's truth of what baseball teaches. Life isn't fair to anyone. But, life presents opportunities in every occasion for you to succeed in that one moment of your life. Then you repeat it until your game of life is complete.

Thank You cacofony people very much. You do know that just by doing what you are doing in regards to INFJ's. Is every bit of this quote/blog. You have your bat and your already taking pitches. The idea of the bag is not and should not be in the forefront of any thought processes.

Instant Abuse: Think freedom: (Unedited): 19 March 2015:

Once you reveal the lies and the victimization of you. It will be nearly instantaneous when your abusers begin to accuse you with violent intentions. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=============================
Your abusers will bring out all of their big psychological guns. Everything shall be your fault. You will be the only guilty party for all of the problems your family has. They will bring up all of your mistakes, errors and troubles. They will blame you for everything. After, They have always declared to you. It's all your fault.
=========================
Be strong. Be brave. Be courageous.
Leave your bad awful family behind and begin your definition of what a life is really like. Choose to live your life without all of that bad and sad of your own childhood. Remember the alcohol? Drink none of it. Remember the drugs? Do none of it. Remember the sinful life? Reject it all. Remember the violence? Be at peace always. Remember the tobacco? Smoke nothing. Remember the medications? Take nothing.
To rise above your circumstance. Mean you must leave it all behind. Completely. No one take their trash into their new house. Same thing. To better yourself means to actually better yourself. Go and get that education and then some more.
==========================
 Think freedom: (Unedited): 19 March 2015:

Your freedom shall always be tied to your education and to remain free will be always tied to your ability to reasonably think for yourself.

Even the educated slave may not be able to reasonably think for themselves. While the uneducated who can think for themselves can remain free. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------------------------------

You can see this today in communist societies and in those nations led by a dictator's. Those who follow those regimes are paid and given many benefits to do what they do. Even kill their own people. Which is their cost or price to live and to raise their own families in the familiar blood that they shed. The abuses and tortures that they cause. 

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

Having the Wisdom of knowing that you are reasonably thinking for yourself.

First Spirit: (Unedited): 07 March 2015:

Yesterday, I felt the passing of my adopted Aunt DBW. She is about 347+ miles away.

My Aunt DBW suffered a long time with a muscular type of disease. She wrote books and  was always a gentle spirit of a genuine southern lady. Always wanting to do for others as she was able.
During the time of passing of my adopted father. There were many things in which I was highly sensitive to. Such as the Angels who were purposely trying to hide much of themselves from me in her home. They were there for her.  My Aunt DBW was also the first person whom I was able to actually see her spirit fully revealed. I also knew that it was her spirit which was keeping her alive and as active as possible. Her spirit emitted an internalized green color.

As of yesterday afternoon. She was freed of her sick body and is now alive more than ever. No rest in peace for this spirit and I am very certain her spirit is no longer a green color.
==============================
I would have very much liked to have spent more time with my adopted aunt and uncle. The wisdom I missed out on because of my own ego and arrogance. But, It seemed it was not to be. In my younger days I was raised to be bad and I was. I was very disrespectful and very selfish. I could have learned much about life from the both of them as they were the only ones who were welcoming.
----------------------------------------------
The faults and failures that we all have made in our lives can be forgiven and lives within the family circle can begin again. You the reader do not have to be outside of the family. You can become re-acquainted and accepted with your family once again. Just go and apologize. Just change your life and free yourself from doing wrong ever again. Especially if the legal sins of the world is what has taken you away from your genetic family. How can you be happy when you are separated from the family whom loved you. Were all human and we all have our own faults and failures. We all have our own sins and sin history. No one was given a book on how to raise "you". The "you" means to raise only "you". Because raising you is not the same as raising any other child. You had your own oddities and natural gifts and those hidden gifts which needed to be discovered and trained up. Yes, I know to many "Ands". I sort of did that on purpose for my Aunt DBW.
Everyone missed out on something in their own lives and in their own childhoods. It is easy to play the blame game and accuse your own parents of being awful in the raising of you. Most parents do the best they could. That is what you should see in your own parents. This is the positive side of thinking and feeling as opposed to the negative side of thinking and feeling. One feels good and the other feels bad. How do you want to feel in your life about your life? You do have the freedom to feel happy or sad.
--------------------------------
You who are physically alive and still spiritually asleep. Seek out what I call the living funeral. Go forth to your still living relatives and friends. Seek out forgiveness and offer forgiveness where appropriate.
By easing the minds and spirits of your loved ones or even former loved ones. You ease their woes in their last times of life. You at the same time ease your own guilt's for the remainder of your own days in this life. You also take away from your mind. Those typical statements at any wake where the loved one has already passed. You know, "I should have done more", "I should have been there", I should have said those important words", "I could have" or "I would have if I had known". If you go forth with a living funeral then you would have been in the loop when their passing had begun and you would have had that opportunity.
The living funeral also may hasten the passing of your loved one. Thus, easing their suffering when they know all of the words were said. All of the actions in life had been taken. Going to sleep for that last time is satisfactory. This makes for a beautiful passing when all of the loved ones are present expressing love instead of apathy or hatred or expectant gifts from the will.
------------------------------------------------
Everyday before you depart from your loved ones on any journey. No more the distance or the time away. You should always have a living funeral. So are you thinking how awful that would be? The living funeral evolves into expressions of love, gratitude and expectancy for life to continue, to move forward. Can you see how this works. Then if something happens. There wont be any regrets. The absence of regrets will be peace of mind, peace of heart and peace of spirit.

Your Final Moment: (Unedited): 28 Feb 2015:

In those final moments when you realize all is lost. Know that you are not lost. In those last moments all of the heroics that you can manifest shall. 

C.J.MacKechnie

======================
How do you define those final moments? Can you be in that last great battle in which all shall be lost and your efforts not remembered. In that unpredicted massive accident in which you save a life or many and yet lose yours. Maybe that accident is not so massive and yet your physical life is still lost.
Your in your own death bed waiting for the absolute end of your physical bodies life. What is it that you can do in those last moments. Cry out for more drugs? Remain angry? selfishly reliving your life's negativity and mistakes? proclaim all of your hatreds for those who have done you wrong? Quickly alter your will in some last defiant act of revenge?
or do you take your last stand with honor and in those respected positive lessons to be learned by those who remain physically alive after your body has merely stopped working.
These last and final moments of your life can become something incredibly profound and meaningful. All you have to do is take those last actions by running into the fire to save the last one. All you have to do is apologize with intended admission. All you have to do is forgive those who have done you wrong. All you have to do is give those positive instructions/directions in life to each one who is to physically survive you.
In those final moments even a child can have a very profound impact upon their parents. A child can be remembered and their birthday celebrated. But, when a child asks not to be mourned forever and wants more siblings. That is a profound statement of the importance of life.
You can also choose to end this life of yours in silence and allowing your life's history to stand as a measuring stick. Is that enough though? All of these are your choices in those final moments. Assuming you actually have that option to remain silent.
But, what if you do not have that option and your physical end to come is one of surprise. What if you are a soldier, a law enforcement person or a fire fighter. The time is now in communicating all of your intentions, instructions, love, apologies and forgiveness's.
These are your actions of your living funeral. To say those all important things. To celebrate all you have done. To be with and to be present with family and friends. 
In all that you have done or not done in your life. Is and can be very profound lessons for those who shall survive you, maybe for many generations. Admit your own faults and failures. Let those be those all important family wisdom's of don't do. Celebrate and tell of your successes and how you had to bring forth continuous effort all the way to the conclusion in order for them to be. Yes, even admit your addictions as pointed warnings in life. Yes, even admit your wrongful sins and they have harmed many. Direct your survivors not to follow your errors, sins, evil deeds and crimes of your life.
All of your life is important. All of it. The good, the bad and the ugly. Insure that your life all of your life is fully known to all. Let each story be those positive stories of wisdom for everyone who is willing to hear and discern their true value.
After all. Don't you want those who is to survive you to become better human beings. Don't you want them to not make your mistakes and yet to succeed in their own defined interests greater than even you can expect of them.
Can you have a noble death with honor even though your own life has been greatly lacking in any nobility, honor, respect or kindness. A life can be changed even from your own death bed. How you act and the words you speak with truth will remain with the living.

Worthless Nothing: Emotional Murder: (Unedited): 04 Feb 2015:

The nothingness that YOU think you do. Is that all important lie that YOU have applied to that thing. Maintaining that worthless decision of YOURS. Will eventually cause you to believe that YOU to are a worthless nothing. Always, seek the meaningful truth in all that YOU do. 

C.J.MacKechnie

========================
I have witnessed many people belittle themselves and anything that they choose to do in life. Forgetting that we have evolved into beings which do need meaning and purpose. For some being a janitor, a trash collector or a lowly construction helper is a fundamental source of their own inner self esteem and self confidence. While I have seen others who have that college degree or two and find little which is of any importance. But, I can say the same for many janitors, Trash collectors or even the lowly construction helper. Who fail to see that they are of any importance or that their duties is of any necessity.
I have also seen those incredibly intelligent people. Typically those who are not to be embarrassed with a MENSA card in their wallet. In other words. They do not belong to Mensa and consider that beneath them. Yea, a lot of pride for them. Who have dedicated their lives in those unspoken subjects and details. You know those things which everyone thinks they want to know which is so incredibly important to all of humanity. Fall victim to near absolute uselessness. Really. They lose their families and drown themselves within the drink of forgetfulness.
So how can all of these different kinds of people with many different kinds of backgrounds. Find themselves in a nothing job. While others thrive in a job of importance. There can be a variety of causes and events in any persons life.
I think what it boils down to is this. YOU have decided that your job is worthless and means nothing. It's your decision based in your own emotional negativity. Which has brought you to the state you are in now.
It is that simple and it doesn't really matter how or why you got to this point in your life. Maybe, You were to Kool for School. Maybe, you just failed at everything. Maybe, the party life was to important. Maybe, your parents beat you and told you bad and sad things. All of that Bravo Sierra doesn't matter in this here and now. What matters is your current state of negativity. The dark depths of your darkened depression of darkness. Yea yuck.

So what happens if the janitors of the world stopped cleaning? What happens if the trash collectors stopped picking up everyone's trash? What happens if all of the greasy mechanics stopped fixing your broken things? It is only then you see the importance.
But, you say I have sheep skin with my name on it on my wall. That is your accomplishment and now you feel like a trapped cat in some hopeless corner of the business world. You have to ask yourself. Really? While the majority of people like what they do and who they work for. YOU on the other hand think it all sucks. Can't you see it's all about you. You are the problem. But, But. Suzy says she hates it to. Is Suzy one of those friends with everyone kind of people who agrees with everything? Probably. People will agree to agree so that you don't feel so isolated and alone or to make you feel better. That is just basic nice people human nature. To console and to relate and to offer hope.

What do you do. Take time to think about yourself and your actions of recent times. Have you been on the wrong side of the donkey in the room with nice people? Do you even care? Which is the big question. Because, if you just don't care then nothing you do in life will ever cause you any kind of happiness or peace. You have to care. Not caring about a thing or anything is not self preservation of your emotional state. Not caring is the murder of your emotional state in order to protect your emotional state. Read it again.
-------------------------
Emotional Murder: (Unedited): 05 Feb 2015:

Not caring (Apathy) is the murder of your emotional state in order to protect your emotional state.

C.J.MacKechnie

---------------------------
If you don't care about your job. You will never be satisfied with your job. You may not realize this. But, everyone is empathic to a degree. So when you walk around with apathy. Everyone will know it and become emotionally harmed by your apathy. Do you care about others or even want to care about others? Even while most good people will care about you.
Yes, You may have been filled with apathy for a very long time. It is possible for you to regain your own full humanity. Although, it does mean you will have to go out of your way for others. In the beginning you will be annoyed and bothered. But, after seeing smiles and gratitude. You will slowly get your humanity back. If you smoke. Be sure to quit smoking as tobacco takes away your ability to care.

Human Degree: (Unedited): 25 Sept 2014:

Apathy to any degree within you is that much of a degree you are away from being fully human. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============================
The logical approach to apathy and how it relates to being fully human. 
The emotions that we all have and use is what makes us human beings. When we begin to know longer use those good emotions. Then we become less good and less human. It is really that simple. Simple logic.

Faith Flames: Faith Myth: (Unedited): 06 Aug 2014:

Faith Flames: (Unedited): 06 Aug 2014:

 

Your faith becomes inflamed when you begin to realize that the myth your religion is more real and more wonderful then you ever knew. 

C.J. MacKechnie

============================
Faith Myth: (Unedited): 06 Aug 2014:

A  devout religious person believes intensely in the myth of their faith. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=============================
What are the defining characteristics of a religious person and a holy person? Can there be a difference between the two? Is a holy person only that which has been approved by some supreme religious authority? Is a religious person just some lay person while the holy person is a religious professional of some declared, awarded, certified sort? 
===============================
What of those regular persons who do not seem to be religious or accepted by a standard earthy  religion? Can they be holy? or are they forever to be deemed as a evil cult group by the world's standards? If the person or person have become nearly sinless as best as can be and their personal direction is towards the supreme being. Are they not holy? even if they wear only sack cloth?

Faith Arguement: (Unedited): 31 May 2014:

If you have to argue your faith and belief systems. You are not living your life in accordance to those tenants.  

C.J.MacKechnie

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

This is very simple to understand.

If you practice the religion of love and people around you do not see you as different from the world. Then it is you who are in the wrong. To love one another always. Not just once but always. How is arguing or debating any point love. Especially, if you get agitated?

If you practice the religion of peace and people around only see war, conflict, fighting and argument.  Then how is it that you are finding the peace within or outside of you? How is it you are helping anyone to see that being in a continual peaceful state is more meaningful to a life worth living than it is to always looking for the next conflict, the next argument, the next debate. To do so keeps away the peace you have been practicing to attain.

If you practice the religion of harmony and people around you only see chaos. How will they ever listen to you or begin to believe as you do. When you are no different than the world which is full of hate, anger, war, chaos and confusion?

If you practice any of the religions of love, peace and harmony. How can you neglect the purity of any of the other when there are divine truths contained within. Each of those religions are supposed to lead every person towards the path of enlightenment and holiness. That is EVERY PERSON. No matter where they were born or whom they were born to. It doesn't even matter what place they were born in. Enlightenment and holiness is for everyone. Not just the pope, Preachers, Imams or any other person of a human declared stature.
Every person does mean every woman and if the women in your lands have zero or no say in anything. Then it is your entire culture which is wrong. Cultures are just another form of control and conformity.

Dark Light: (Unedited): 21 May 2014:

When your the only light within your own little world. Do not become alarmed or worried to discover that darkness surrounds you and that there are those who prefer to reside in that darkness. 

C.J.MacKechnie

-----------------------------

Even your own loved ones. 

=======================================
Darkness either surrounds each one of us or darkness is the place where you have chosen to reside. Either way, The darkness is still there. Those who reside in the darkness may even be strange creatures whom you know will devour you in an instant if they had the opportunity. Despite being made into fun and loving dragons and reptiles in cartoons. The truth still remains even though they are hidden inside of the darkness. That very same darkness which surrounds you all of the time.
The light of your life is what they are attracted to. So much pure energy which can also give those who remain in the darkness more power. All you have to do is to give it up freely and just let them to take their fill. All you have to do is just not care any more about anything or any one. It is that easy to do and to listen to their dark wisdom. That there is no right, no wrong, no rules for me. I'm free. Let it go. These are all lies and deceptions designed to get you to give up that which is most precious to you. All without a fight. To be free of righteousness, civility and a high moral standard. Just enslaves you into the pit of darkness. Where is absent of love, peace, harmony and life.
The darkness and those within it want to become merged with the light energy. Thus corrupting the whole of goodness.
If those who reside in darkness can acquire enough life light, Then they think they can have enough power to acquire the light of God. Their hatred and anger is that deep for anything good.

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 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.

 Spiritual Freedom
open for more understanding. The spirit is confined in the body. For some it seems to be by choice, for others it is confinement and for another group they just don't know.

Which Are You: (Unedited): 17 Oct 2013:

Work in progress.

=====================================================
Which are you human or spirit being? Do you even believe in a spirit being?
You know you have only one physical body and only one life to exist within that human form. You will live for a finite period of time and then your physical body will cease to work. This can happen at any time. Whether it be by accident, on purpose, disease or just age. 
What if I told you that the living physical body is not the same one you were born with. Would you believe me?
You were once two parts, a living egg and a single living gamete. Which then grew into a living baby. Then that baby grew and evolved into a toddler, child, teen, young adult, older adult and then geriatric adult. Until, finally the human body just stops working. It is very interesting to see how life grows, develops and evolves. Including your individual body parts. Do you think that all of the body parts you have now are the exact same ones you were born with? No, they were not. Read this possible inaccurate list. I will correct as I discover more original sourced materials. If you know of the original source. This is just a partial list and is enough to prove a point.  Please message me. Thank you.
How old are your body parts?

INTESTINES:                  2-3 days.
TASTE BUDS:                10 days.
SKIN:                               2-4 weeks.
LUNGS:                           2-3 weeks.
RED BLOOD CELLS:     4 months.
LIVER:                             5 months.
NAILS:                             6-10 months.
HAIR:                               3-6 years.
BONES:                            10 years.
HEART:                             20 years
EYES:                                your current age.
BRAIN:                              your current age.
===================================================
 Think about how you grew, developed and evolved into the person you are today. A million times a million things had to happen just to make the person who you are today. All of your education or the lack of. All of the good parenting you received or the lack of parenting. All of the good life style you chose or the bad lifestyles you still choose to live. All of your freedom, enslavement or imprisonment you have received. The healthy eating habits or all of the potato chips, dip and colas. The drugs, cigarettes and alcohol or clean living.
All of it made you who you are right now and if you decide right now, you can change who you are in just a few months or years. Just make those changes positive ones.
There are so many things about you and me which is always continually changing. But isn't there just a something of you which doesn't change? Your brain? No, it changes as well. Your eyes, No they change and become weaker.
How about a spirit, your spirit. Can your spirit be that part of you which is constant? Maybe, even your spirit is evolving. What about your identity? where does that unchanging part of you reside? In your heart? Your mind? Your spirit?
Which are you and where are you really? If your body is changing so much. How is it that you are you and not someone else entirely different? I am me and I reside within me, my spirit and my spirit resides within this human physical form. Until, such a time that this physical body expires. Then I shall still continue to be me and fully aware.

Competition Chase: (Unedited): 25 Sept2013:

In competition, if you are not chasing toes or the tick of the clock you are not competing in the race.

 C.J.MacKechnie

==========================
You gotta be chasing something. It is the fight part of your animal brain which is very close to the flight and freeze parts of your animal brain. Flight and freeze probably won't aid you in any victory or besting a personal best. The flight part of your brain involves fear and this is negative. A negative emotion may not get you a positive response or outcome. Freeze is also a negative emotion and of course freeze won't win you any race, let alone begin a race.

On your mark, 

get set,

Freeze.

Doesn't work in a race. Does it?

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

Good sportsmanship is more than just congratulating the victor or your fellow competitor. By preparing for the race and giving your all during the race. You bring meaning to the victor as well as a clear understanding to those who came after. It is important that when you are on any team. That you do more than just be present and socializing with your other team mates.  Encouragement, working out together and racing during practices are just some necessary steps in preparation for the next competition.

In preparing for your big events or meets will require you to work out all year long. Which is above and beyond what the high school, colleges, sporting organization or YMCA coaches require of you. When your season is done. Twinkies and coke do not become apart of your diet, neither does the couch and Scooby Doo on the T.V.

This is the time for strength and power training,
                                speed and flexibility training,
                                Cardio and Perfecting your technique training.
All mixed together and altered from time to time. In order to maximize your physical and mental developmental potential.

In a team environment the leaders are those who are the performance leaders on your team. They are the go to people in regards to goals, training regimens and diet. It doesn't really matter if you think you are not a leader or an example to be looked up to. You are by the simple merit of being the best on your team.

Imagine your on a narrow ladder with everyone else. Your all going up the ladder at different rates of speed. You have the slow people, the social partiers, the performance driven, the coaches and the learners. If no one is helping or assisting any other person. You have a quagmire which goes no where fast. To the social partiers on the team it won't matter to them until they are 40 or so years old. The social partiers are just there to have fun and nothing else is really of importance. Which includes winning.
It is necessary for the performance team leaders to pull everyone up on the ladder of goals and accomplishments. Just as it is necessary for everyone to push up everyone higher than you. In this way with everyone doing both pushing people up and pulling people up. You all get up the ladder together as a singular united team with a common goal. It doesn't matter if you are on a team and compete individually. You need your other teammates and coaches to do both push you and and pull you up. Just as you will be required to push people up and pull people up. This is just one thing which makes a successful team work. 
 ====================
For the stars on the team. By you leading your team mates to perform at a higher level. It will cause you to perform at a higher level. Thus, you improve when your team mates improve.  The whole of how you improve will be much greater than simple performance improvements. Your Character becomes more developed. The leader you thought you could never be, becomes a certainty. There is 3 improvements in you and there are more. Ask your coaches for more details.

Walking Already: (Unedited): 21 Sept 2013:

You are already walking the path in your own Journey. It is only for you to question and answer, whether or not you truly want to be on that path. 

C.J.MacKechnie

======================================================
What path is it you journey upon? Is it among the dead and dried up thistles which continually bite into your skin? Is it in the beautiful darkness of the Earth where you can see the whole light of the glorious universe? Is it on a beautiful beach under a perfect blue sky? In a field of beautiful green and golden grasses with a gentle breeze? Are you walking the dark and dank gutter path with all of the associated smells and red lights?
It is for you to always question and seek the answers of your spirit, mind and heart. It is for you, if you will it to learn the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the the path you have chosen to walk upon.
Do reach out and assist others with your own developed love and compassion for your human brother and sister. (Encouragement). Continue to Reach out to those who are willing to reach back to you.
Do seek out communication with others to learn the truths they have learned from their own path. 
Do not walk upon your path like an empty sea shell, only listening to the empty echoes of the past.
Do not walk your path under the control or advisement of another walker who seems to be successful in all things.
Do not hurry on your path, just because others are racing by you. Take the time to take-in the beautiful wisdom which surrounds you, even if your own path has much trials and tribulations.
Do not walk on another persons path with them on your back.
If you do not like the journey you are on or the path in which you walk upon. Then side step onto another path. This can be possible if your journey is on the path of self destruction. Just because you leave the path of self destruction, does not mean you will leave any of that information or developed disability behind.

=====================================================
Walk your walk with
                                         Purpose and Intention,
                                         Honor and Integrity,
                                         Holiness and Righteousness,
                                         Love, Peace and harmony,
                                                                                               It matters not the path you take
                                                                                               It only matters how you walk your walk.

Empowered Soul: (Unedited): 04 Aug 2013:

An empowered soul is not a victim to become. 

C.J.MacKechnie.

====================
Becoming an empowered soul can prevent your victim-hood. This means taking the necessary continuous training of martial arts and firearms training in order to basically defend yourself.
Becoming empowered is being responsible for your own education despite the limitations, attitudes, accusations, belittlement's of those who reside in your world. This includes your family, friends, teachers, religion and culture.  Just because they have chosen to become slaves does not mean you are subject to that very same fate of hopelessness.
Becoming empowered frees you to further develop more than yourself. You will have the ability to fundamentally alter the destiny of your entire family for generations to come. Becoming empowered enables you to freely evolve in your chosen direction. Becoming empowered also enables to to see the true gifts of your own children and allow them the means to become self empowered themselves. Thus, remaining a free and victimless family for generations to come. This is how important self empowerment is. As a parent, empowering your own children frees you from stress and wonderment that you had not prepared your children for the world. Empowerment causes your families survival to become better than probable as oppose to becoming a statistic in chaos theory.

Without becoming empowered. You become the victim of your daily life. You become the mindless slave of someone else deciding thought.
Becoming empowered is hard and difficult. Becoming empowered requires of you continuous effort while those slaves of victimization go out to parties and drinks. The lives of slaves and victims will become as empty as a slammed down shot glass. The lives of slaves and victims will become as nasty as old flat beer in a nearly empty beer can.
You may be one of those slaves and victims right now. You have seen and heard those who left the culture become accused of trying to be another race. Yet, They are still gone and have mostly become better off for it.
You have witnessed your inability to get quality employment. This is because you may have minimal education. So, become empowered and change your own fate. The fate of your life is all yours to alter. The fate of your children's lives will be emulated by them in what they physically witness by your actions in your entire life.  If you are a drunken drugged out failure of a human being. Then your children shall follow you down your very same foot path of a greater failure than you could achieve. This leads to eventual extinction. First of family name then of your genetics.
==================================
Empowerment comes from your own initiated origin or even from your acceptance of someones gifts.
Either way empowerment is from you. It matters not the origin of thought or intention.
Personal empowerment can save you from victim-hood, slavery or even the fate of hopelessness. In today's civilized modern society where slavery has evolved into non-ownership of actual physical bodies and has been redefined as manpower, migrant workers, undocumented workers, illegal immigrants, day labor work force and temporaries.
Empowerment frees you from such designations of the modern slavery trade.
Think about this. Since the American civil war. Corporations and owners of all sorts did not have to invest a huge sum of money for slaves. The housing of slaves and their general daily care. Corporations and owners can now basically hire a man for a set wage without assuming any other responsibility. That is until the unions changed everything. Then state and federal laws dictated fair and safe treatment of the worker class. Medicaid and medicare which are all state run now assumes responsibility of those workers who become to ill or disabled to care for themselves.
==================
Added on 11 Oct 2013: The importance of education.
The education in anything which originates from truth is empowerment.

:The Lies and Deceptions of RACE:
==========================
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.

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

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 any actual fact.

Dig Deeper: (Unedited): 01 Aug 2013:

Digging deeper into yourself reveals your own buried treasures which were always yours. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=======================
You are so full of secrets. Not the kind of secrets where other selfish people feel empowered with greedy pride at the discovery of your dirty laundry hidden away in some locked closet.
These secrets of yours are all of those wonderful things which you have been innately born with. These secrets are more like those ancient treasures which are to be found by you. The value of which is incalculable.
There is a warning. These secrets when discovered can be great blessings of incredible personal wealth or they can become deep burdensome curses. The definition of which is solely created by you and the responsible actions you take when these internal secrets are revealed.
Dig deeper and do not fear the unknown parts of you yet to be discovered. Some of these unknown things are just seeds of non-conceived and undeveloped gifts and abilities. They are and can be wonderful achievements to be made when coupled with tenacity, discipline and responsibility.

The gifts and abilities you discover about yourself. do not just become simple users of those gifts and abilities. Learn about them, grow them and develop them. Fine tune those gifts and abilities into the definition of the miraculous. Yes, it is possible and very probable for you. We all have the ability to become Christs walking upon this earth. Maybe, even fictional Jedi's.

==================
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.
