Con-Tru-versy: Presence of Variables

Posted on Mar 5th, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
Yes, when it comes to our actions there is an equalizing and there is an end. But how it happens is out of the jurisdiction of commercial concepts such as “Law of Attraction”.

Being human is a very accountable life. True, what we decide to do has a major impact on what happens to us. Still, we see people who have wronged no one nor even desire to wrong anyone. And yet, they become mistreated and suffer at the hands of oppressors. History is littered with such accounts.

At Acts 7:59, 60 we notice a famous event recorded where Stephen is stoned by his opposers. Was Stephen dwelling on negative energy thereby prompting the murderous behavior of the scribes?

On the contrary, he recited truthful deeds which angered the scribes present. They then started stoning him while at the same time he prayed for forgiveness on their behalf. Here we see positive action and thinking received unfriendly results from Stephen's contemporaries. Hate attracting love? And the total opposite has happened, and been recorded too.

Even I, personally, pray and have positive thoughts toward people who wish to be disruptive towards others. They aren't attracting negative reaction everytime. Living near a college affords me the opportunity to live among various youthful attitudes and lifestyles. And its everyday to witness how the behavior experienced isn't always attracting 'like' results, as if a law. Surely it isn't an invasion of anomalies, is it?

Yes such things are constantly seen taking place now. From the vast accounts of this presence of variables with human blessings and sufferings, we realize attraction is null as law.

Some spiritual practices teach that doing good isn't dependent on good returning. Jesus himself taught that, despite the love given, many would not receive him well and would even hate him and others like him (Matt 24:9). Love attracting hate? Obviously, humans are subject to experiencing opposite results from their intentions and actions.

Prime example is here at Zaadz. In the early days, due to what didn't fit in the TOS and negative reactions, Brian (CEO) himself banned many from remaning with Zaadz. And even todate, periodically, the same actions are taken to prevent a negative vibe from being present. That is, negative according to Brian and company.

So how would it look according to LoA if we held them up to that light? What kind of mental dwelling was/is operational?

I mean, without much effort, a quick search on the net pulls up some interesting feelings and reviews attracted by Zaadz. But, personally, I could never attribute such things to the thinking of the creators of the site dwelling on ______. Are we really going to attribute some like attracts like law at work?

The same goes for opponents of The Secret, Steve Pavlina, America, the pandit Ken Wilber, Esther Hicks and others. They ALL have some serious variations of passions, opinions and insights attracted by their thinking all over the earth. T'would seem if LoA is the lens used, and like is attracting like, the implications are quite enormous and not completely favorable.

Sounds like one 'huge glitch' in the system if we're persuaded toward this LoA theory. The same goes for Subjective reality theory. Freedom of thought is truly a nice perk as humans. I see more inventive theories coming to bear as we go on. And so be it.  Its just good observing the truth and witnessing its unchangableness march forward, despite pop-theories.

"You heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.' However, I say to you: Do not resist him that is wicked; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other also to him."  ---Jesus Christ, 30 A.D.

Vote for History's Wonders

Posted on Mar 7th, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
Perhaps you've heard of the "New 7 Wonders of the World" vote that's in play. In place of a panel of scientific experts, the global community is being sought after to decide what goes down
in history as the next 7 wonders of the world.

In case you haven't been informed yet, the website to visit is New7wonders.com.

There you're given the opportunity to help shape the future of today's history. You're also given a couple choices of how you wish to vote.

Try not to fall prey to the over imposed favoritism and blatant advantage given to the Statue of Liberty. Although it truly stands for a novel idea, in the greater scheme of things its wonder is of no greater shine to many other marvels. But Frederic Auguste Bartholdi's skill is practically angelic, nonetheless.

I've already cast my votes. The Great Wall of China wasn't one of them. Why? Mainly because, although the wall took an unparalled amount of work, it didn't take nearly as much work for the mongols to compromise the wall and kick butt on the inner side after all that effort put into it. China still receives love from me though.

However, I will say that Phoenix's sister city, Timbuktu, was given a shot for it's miraculous wealth of its time (which started as a simple well dug by a woman named Buktu). The famous city is in the myth ranks of Shangri-La, Xanadu, and Atlantis. Hope she's a winner.

Whataya waiting for? Get your vote on!

A Little Spin On Nature

Posted on Mar 14th, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
It was after midnight.

Windows open, refreshing cool breezes blowing through.

When suddenly, looking downward, there is a little spider doing its work on a black beetle.

The beetle was stalled in the corner of the living room near the front door.

Although much larger in size than the spider, the beetle found itself well snagged in the invisible webbing being spun by the spider as it went round 'n round --ignoring the beetle's struggle.

Diligently, the little spider kept at it despite the level of uncertainty it was obviously facing.

With no effort could both be tossed outside by the vehical of torn tissue.

Or the beetle could be freed from its apparent sacrificial provision assignment.

But the spider, inside here, wasn't going to find suitable replacement unless it dined on a 1 and 1000 chance gnat that may find itself so wayward.

Clearly the little spider's appetite was dire, challenging a prey more than 20 times its size covered with a tough exoskeleton.

The beetle kept tugging and scuffing hopelessly, while the spider rapidly spun cirlces.

An urge subsided, to intervene, and peace took over knowing God was also curious to watch.

And they were left there; both fervently in the heat of nature.

The next morning, a little after 7, walking to the front, flipped the light on and that corner was empty of the commotion.

The spider's labor paid off, according to nature's indication.

Went into the kitchen with a sense of satisfaction that nature's law had judged.

Prior to eating the warm dish prepared, mosying along the hallway aside the kitchen was that black beetle.

You should've seen the smile on this face.

Chuckling heavily, breakfast was even more enjoyable that day.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Posted on Mar 21st, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 21, 2007:

I'd eat potted meat and drink two day old goat blood while attempting to live inside a blackhole. But, then again, some fears are perfect.  ;-)

Aren't they?

But seriously, some fears are really perfect in what they prevent from happening. I mean, who wouldn't want their children to be fearful of crossing a busy street? Such fear is more like a respect for life.

In a practical manner, I'm doing that which I wasn't doing before. And its a nice feeling moving on my sharing, writing, awareness, spirituality and agape. Plus, exploring my humorous depth and enjoying immense laughter is freeing.

Once upon a time, hardly would I embrace these things. Its much different now. Much different. Its being true (hence trunami).

Truly Tackle This 3-23-07

Posted on Mar 23rd, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
Periodically, I will feature controversial and/or bizarre questions and/or statements followed by questions. Yes, I just said that.  :)

Of course, not all will view or address them the same. And some may not be so controversial, just as some may not be so bizarre (per person). But it should be a bit interesting nontheless.

First up:


How would you describe your take on the expression "beyond religion"? What comes to mind?

Do you even acknowledge such a thing as possible? Explain.

Soul Seeing of the Harpia

Posted on Mar 30th, 2007 by Tru : Visionaire Tru
I see into your soul : Yes, I see into your soul. You have no need to explain yourself. Its all in our oneness.

In my eyes lies acceptance
acceptance of you, acceptance of me
and these eyes peer beyond the forest
detailing the patterns of bark on each tree

rapidly my feathers flow
'crossing the grassy sky
hitting the zips and zags and zooms
even your deep breath I blow by

vantage point to vantage point
you watch me, I watch you
you see a fear-inspiring creature
I just simply see you

your need to express and feel is wild
my eating monkey meat is civilized
its the wild who abuse the forest
and the civilize who amuse it, 'live'

I'm not free, and yet surrender to instinct
it makes me happy and consoled
you seek freedom, and fear surrendering
and these eyes see into your soul
