Easing into retirement is a conscious decision…

I had to do so much work last week and weekend that it didn’t feel like I was retired. I taught in mindspace and on my blogs, edited 3 books, practiced my ink drawing skills, got Dad his b’day present (which I secretly covet) and today, I received blessings of wisdom from the Lord costing me just $10. You can read about it on YapsDiary. So I decided to fletch my arrows later and carry on teaching.

Oh yes, I wrote a song too -about processed food.

The topic is POWER. What is it really, and why don’t you have (more of) it in your walk with God? The truth about power is painfully obvious. Power is soft then hard. Those with power are good at coming in lower than you expect, and hitting higher than you believed possible. And there’s just one more thing: they are popular because their actions save!

For example, I teach piercing Gospel as well as physically break the backs of the Satanic Liew posse on a day by day basis. I do this because I have to and was pushed to. I am not a violent or preachy man. But my fame grows and the number of saved I helped save grows. I should have POWER but I prefer to be lowly and humble. I treat people as equals. I call men, sir. And when people regard me, they often feel like I’m not a very holy / good person, and they protect themselves.

Kindness is not power, logic is not power, blessedness is not power either. Power is, as I opened this post with, something like retiring while having instead to work. It is shoes you ease yourself into because you need them. It is a conscious decision to live a different kind of life, one of confidence and selflessness. And it begins with prayer: Lord use me. I am ready as you have shown me.

And at the age of 49, I’m close to making that prayer and assuming a commanding position in the mindspace wars, to finally end the reprisals, blackmail, and deceptions. Yea, it’s a door you have to step thru and the one who calls you is God. There is no reward but joy, sometimes peace. You do not have to kill a goat.

Let me explain further. When young, I often assumed people with body and charisma were powerful. Maybe. But it is also people who are strong in pure love, who channel it with wisdom and Spirit. It’s like Tai Chi. We move with grace, in slow deliberate stages, we harm no one, yet we fight the unseen enemy while appearing weak, foolish, powerless. Each one of us possesses this ability inside, and it is something I will touch on in future posts. Have you experienced Tai Chi? What do you think of Tai Chi of the heart? Of the emotions? Can you dedicate your soul to inner discipline? To righteousness? Let’s explore POWER together further, as I develop and compile my theories.

Until then, be humble and stay safe.
