I am not really computer savvy, but I can do enough to get me in trouble and crash my computer.  I need to be picky about what I do or download.  My hard drive died last year and since that I have become paranoid about web sites and downloads.

Anyway, I decdied I needed more memory.  I only had 256mb adn my computer is at least 5 years old. I was worried at first.  Then I just dove into the situation.  I bought the memory module locally (a good thing) and followed all the instructions.  But, my memory capacity wasn't increasing.  I tried about 5 times, then called the guy i bought it from. He suggested everything I already did.  He then said to bring the computer in with the memory module and he would see what the problem was, "for Free".  YES!!!! Drove over and took it in the store.  He checked it out and found the new memory module was bad.  YES!!!! I wasn't me.  He then added another new module and it all worked.

I got home and was soooooooo happy.  More memory, faster computer (yes it was faster) and I felt like a kid with a new toy.  I really am glad I added the memory.  Because I do a lot of photos, I don't feel like I am going to overload my computer now. 

The memory module didn't cost as much as I thought.  He was only a couple bucks higher than any online place. Plus, with the problem, it was fixed immediately instead of having to mail back a module and wait to see what the company would do. Because I live in a small town, I was surprised there was even anyone close enough. Actually he is only one of two in the town.  The other  guy didn't answer his phone,  His loss.

That is my tale of memory upgrade..

Fear Is The Mind Killer

"The Next Moment of NOW (facts are never the Promise of God)"

by Shade Law

Reverse Neuro-linguistic programming Series ©2008

Much of reversing our thought patterns created by Neuro Linguisitc Programming and changing our behavior, stems from our past associations, relationships, and perceptions.... of those associations, relationships, and perceptions that were previously built. We are programed to such a state that unreality becomes our reality. This doesn't leave room for God in our life at all in the Balance of Business and Spirit. But rather draws to us, more of what we do not want into our life, simply because we become unaware of why things happen in the first place.

99% of failed associations, and relationships stem from lack of Gratitude, and lack of belief in oneself and God Within us all. If there are aspects of our life in which you do not like (and who doesn't like something in their life?) that “something,” that “aspect” then becomes a magnet for all sorts of things that attract the “something” or “aspect” that you don't like about your life and or self. When this happens on the Net, it can explode into predator vs idiot (the idiot of course is the unaware sides of us taking over, and not taking responsibility for our own direction of our own emotions).

We need to establish some spiritual balance here, and regain practical truths that are Universal here, in order to cut down the fear factor of being stalked or dealt with harshly on the Net. The insanity that happens on the Net and parts of ones own life are intertwined. And Faith, gets thrown around so much that it is no longer FUN but burdensome. “Have Faith,” “Be Faithful,” “Ye of little Faith.” Where's the FUN in that? It simply isn't there when Scripture or any other writing becomes Dogma. Let's first look at faith from the FUN angle.

Faith

Understands

Necessity

Every single person on the planet was first, created by God (it doesn't matter what you call Him/It/Love/Law/The Presence/The Universe/Consciousness). You didn't get here on your own. “I Am So That God Can Be” within me as my life. Another way of looking at this is; “I Am So That God Can.” (from Rev. Johnson's Prayer). And nothing or no one is going to change that. Yet there is conflict... why?

Conflict comes from one's lack of self resolutions, not necessarily with the persons around you, but with YOU. You haven't resolved, what it is, that you do not like within your own life. You haven't resolved you repetitive distrust, pain/hate issues.

Take for instance me and my Stalker. Both of us are children of the most High God. Both of us have the “potential” to be the very best that God can be through our lives. So what happened?

Relationships turn sour when lack of “self resolution” or “self esteem” issues comes up. Face it, if your unhappy, your gonna make others around you miserable. That's just the humanity rising, speaking, and most definitely being heard. Now, because humanity has rights, according to Universal Principle, 3 of the four steps are being acted on through a broken human aspect.... rising, speaking, and being heard. However, for a Healing to happen, (a rational concrete permanent Healing) an important action must be put into action before this kind of Healing takes place.... That action is resolving your own life's unhappiness and figuring out why you attract unhappiness.

I can't “do” anything about the Stalker, but take necessary actions to protect my Sites, myself, and my Home. But “fear” or “hate” better not be part of my action, or I defeat my purpose for my own Healing. I went to Reverend Johnson to get Prayer Work (Spiritual Mind Treatment) because of the built up paranoia that was mounting in me. This had to happen in order for the practical steps to not have either fear attached and hate attached to them. Of course then I wound up with this assignment of recapturing my once Love for the Stalker who was a friend at one point. Being the diligent Student that I am, I accepted the challenge, didn't say I liked it, just said I accepted the work.

I had to do something, because if I did not, this was going to affect any and all relationships to follow. I knew and know that change, real change begins with me. If it ripples out, that's God, not me. Here is what I found for me, if it helps good, if not, ask yourSelf... God within your own heart; “What can I do NOW, to live in the moment?”

I started with Rick Warren's: “The Purpose Driven Life.” page 156.

“Confess Your Part Of The Conflict”

“Jesus said; it is the way to see more clearly; first get rid of the log in your own eye, then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friends eye.”

The biggest mistake that I made was giving my power away to anyone, especially someone exactly like me in the areas of my weaknesses and discontent. Why? Weakness draws to itself more weakness, and discontent creates more discontent. I was extremely unhappy with having to be a caretaker, and they were extremely unhappy period. You can't build a Friendship, Business Relationship, or any rational relationship with extremes around you. All hidden insecurities and tendencies for co-dependencies, control issues, and other episodes will rear their ugly heads to defeat any normalcy from happening.

We are conditioned to depend on others, before seeing what it is, that we can do for ourself. That was my blind spot straight away. I actually gave up part of my “Soul aspect” to this person. And that is not healthy on any level, Spiritual or Practical. That's like having the blind leading the blind. I simply forgot; who I Am. And by building them up so high, forgot who they were. Having had to make a difficult decisions about my Sites, and then sticking by that choice only compounded the push and pull factor- or control factor. Realize... I created this “control factor” by giving away my power in the first place. Most of us don't even realize we are even doing this on a day to day basis, with the most deadly at times tool, the Internet. We do not take care of our Soul, which is the pride of God's Love.

Thomas Moore: “Care of The Soul” Pages 54 and 125

“How many times do we loose an occasion for soul work by leaping to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act to end the tension, and thus we loose opportunities to know our selfs for our motives and our secrets.”

The biggest secret is no secret, I heard my x-friend say many a time that they had anger issues and would use them. They loved a fight. They heard me when I would build them up as, the be all - end all. Hence, a tragedy in the making built off of insecurities on both of our parts, and no real love could really be present, because what was being fed was a base need, rather than a higher Fulfillment of Business and Spirit. A direct ignoring of our individual Soul's need also took place, because the human factor and need, took precedence over both our Soul's individual care.

Protection comes easy with the, blocking, banning of emails, and Banning Ips. However, the depth of feeling protected, has to come from both the minds acceptance of knowing your protected... and the hearts acceptance of loving the truth of any Internet predator. Not their actions, the TRUTH of how God sees all of us.... including them.

This is important to really running a successful Internet anything, because people are people and you don't know if what you see, is actually what you are getting.... One must “know thy self and thy tolerance level.” You see, the depth of feeling protected on the Net is both linear and circular. I once heard Rev. Al joking with Rev. Johnson he said; “I'm not paranoid, I just know everyone is out to get me.”

Taking the appropriate actions to protect yourself on the Net, from fraud, Stalkers, and a host of unwanted attention, requires technical application skills, and understanding Google's full program for tracking and protection of your Sites. AdLand Pro, Ning, Wetpaint (through their Technical Department), and many others have secure ways to ban and block either emails or Ips directly. But the real application is doing this in love with care to not only your Soul, but the other persons Soul as well. Remember, your not agreeing with the “action,” that is not to receive any energy whatsoever. You are taking care of yourself, your home, your person, and your family as well as what you and God built together. By taking care of yourself, you are in spiritual fact, taking care of others. Your keeping in in your mental equivalent and heart Balance, in both Business and Spirit. Your keeping it sound. Your keeping it sane. Your keeping it REAL.

With everything that is thrown at us on the Net today, lets not confuse ever, loving an ill action with loving the person's created Soul which belongs to God. “Facts” are not “The Promise” of God, you gain momentum in any Business or Spiritual project by creating a mental equivalent that matches something created out of Love from your heart.

It's a fact, some of us are being Stalked on-line. Some of us are having it dribble into our homes, by well meaning friends that write us to try to help, and then send carbon copies to the Stalker. These actions are not lovable, don't hate the person, reject the action. For to succeed at a high level of Business with Spirit, one must stay in Balance with the Soul of a Business... which is created by your Love and your gifts to stay steady in what you create with your Business. “Do What You Love, And The Money Will Come.” Stay in Love, never fear or hate.

I have to tell you that my first Site that I created on Wetpaint, ended in disappointment and disaster because I allowed myself to actually hate my Stalker. That's the time to give great pause, and get back on track with WHY I do what I do.

Thomas Moore: “Care of The Soul” Pages 54 and 125

“We live in a hierarchical world in which we defend our selfs from our primitive nature by looking down less developed oped cultures....”

Let's stop right there, and take responsibility. Water seeks it's own level and when mud is involved (throwing back what is dished out) the water then turns stagnant and develops pockets of non-movement, specifically if the typical attitudes of a hierarchical intimidating force creates fear within you. Learn to create with God for you, and your Business this Spirit.....

“The Inner Circle Of Trust”

Thomas Moore: “Care of The Soul” Pages 54 and 125

“We care for the Soul by acknowledging the place of eternal childhood, seeing it's disadvantages to be victorious, and its insufficiencies to be the conduit of Soulful Sensitivities.”

“It's just Business” isn't going to fly much anymore because people are sophisticated, they are becoming aware and they grow tired of the bs, manipulation, and anything harder than waking up in the morning. LOL! “Do what I say and not what I do,” isn't going to fly anymore either, simply because... it's simple scare tactics that are dogmatic at best, and down right irritating at worst. So the real start point to form an “Inner Circle Of Trust” starts with being able to TRUST YOURSELF first. BEFORE you fly open the door and trust another. I had doubt about trusting anyone after the Internet hell that I went through. But I also knew that if I didn't do the real work from the inside out, that it would affect everyone I would come into contact with NOW. It would affect my Business which is God's Business that lives everyday right in my own heart.

It would affect my JOY! I love encouraging people, I make money, maybe not millions like some of my Friends at AdLand Pro or other places, but I am sufficient Spiritually unto myself. I just continue to do what I Love and the money does come through my Readers, donations, those I do Ads for, and the IFrames that I build. I like creating beauty in what sometimes seems like an overindulgence of placidity and sterilization of moving product, services, and writing. That is my Joy, that is my Heart, that is God as my work.

When Friendships go array on the Net, fix it from the inside out, or be faced with more of the same upheaval in not just the internet but other areas of your life. The Law of Attraction is irrespective of person, place, or thing. It only knows what your thinking and feeling right now and reproduces just that.

I like the Angles saying: “Fear Not!” Your heart is not the problem here, you are. Why? Your “choice patterns,” are skewed. Your choice patterns developed themselves through rigorous NLP on all levels, from Business to Spiritual, unfulfilled needs, dependency/co-dependency, the societal acceptance of Hierarchy, and the acceptance of feeling “less than.” Your programed to accept what others think of you. You need to know those who turn predator were once like you. They now feed on blood, weakness, but mostly fear. The object is not to be pushed and fall from your own sense of Peace and Grace. So, are you having FUN yet?

Remember; FUN = Faith. Faith Understands Necessity. God knows that you may not be “of this world” but dang it... your sure have to live in it. Know how to apply Faith in this world. Be honest with yourself first. That sure helps me. Be willing to step out in Faith, on the Net, and actually have FUN on the Net. We can't allow the ills of the world to ever push us in the direction of fear, intimidation, or worst yet hate.

I would like to end this writings Journey with....

Ernest Holmes: “Living The Science of Mind” page 201

“We are Centers or Points a cosmic Universal Consciousness which is the Origin of all things. On the scale of our individual lives we reproduce the Divine Order in It's Entirety. This does not mean we are God, but we find in Psalm 82:6 'I have said Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.' The whole Divine Nature is reproduced in us (as us), but we are ignorant of the fact. Our thought is creative, but in our ignorance we use it destructively.”

For me this is why I took three days off, to remember who and what I AM. And most importantly who and what my Stalker is. We are both children of God, and we both deserve the attention of God to heal us on all levels. I deserve not to move in fear, and they deserve not to move in painful judgment. I deserve to be myself, the best I can be, only depending on God's Provision and Vision. And they deserve to have and do the same. I once said I hated them, and hoped they would die. For this I am sorry, deeply sorry. For that is not me. That was the fearful child backed into a corner screaming to God for help. That was the ignorant child giving up their power to someone other than God. That was the human child not understanding what happened to the once Friend. That was simply pain and lack of awareness on BOTH parties. So what now?

Now I leave them to God, and put myself back in God and let God be God.

Be safe out there my Friends, be safe in your own mind and hearts. Let no one in save God. Let God choose your Relationships, all of them through the tool of discernment.
