Hypocrisy: The TRUE Enemy

hypocrisy:the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.


If only those who fight so diligently for refugees would use those same energies and passions to fight for the homeless right here in their homeland. 

I wonder where is their courage when it comes to putting an end to the suffering of  those who reside in their own home state and city? Where is their  compassion when it comes to those who fought for the very freedoms we all enjoy?  I wonder...How can they can so easily turn a blind eye to the struggles and tragedies of those who live right there in their very own neighborhoods, cities and sates and see so clearly the hardships of others? 

Where is the sense of justice when it comes to the elderly here in the United States?  Where is the passion to fight for the rights of our elderly to live out their golden years without having to choose between much needed medicines and food or paying their utilities or rent?   

I wonder further how can anyone can just sit and pretend that it's perfectly okay to spend billions of dollars to bring in refugees and provide them with housing, medical care and food when millions of our own people are going without these very things?
  
hypocrisy: Turning a blind eye to those standing right in front of them who are in need, while having  great sight to see the needs of those faraway.

There is a saying...Charity begins at home.  This is a concept that many  obviously don't get.  So I'll break it down for everyone.  Whenever you fly on an airplane, one of the first thing you are told is...in case of emergency place the oxygen mask over your face FIRST before attempting to assist others.  There's a reason for this.  Think about it long and hard as to WHY you are instructed to do this.   While the safety of others is important--you can't help them if you pass out from lack of oxygen.  

Follow me so far?  Are you grasping the concept?


Again I must ask...where is the passion, the compassion, this sense of nobleness and justice when it comes to...

 The elderly, many of whom do without the basic necessities,  in your own city and state?

For the children, the men and women who go hungry and homeless in your own city and state?  

Our Veterans who fought for our freedoms?  So many are homeless; doing without medical care.


Where is that passionate fight for their rights for housing, food, medical care and such?

hypocrisy: A weapon that radicals from any and all religious/political standing will exploit and use to the fullest extent to gain power over those who don't have the willpower or the clarity to see how they're being used and manipulated.

Those who live as hypocrites don't see--can't see beyond their own lack of genuine goodness.   They just don't get it.   No, of course not.  And why would they?  They're too busy being self-righteous to even bother.  They're too pre-occupied with the name calling, too busy with the  shaming of those who believe in, and live by, that old adage Charity Begins At Home!  Too busy blindly following behind their hypocritical political and religious leaders,  too busy mimicking their example to care about or  to  see anything outside their own hypocrisy.  .

Pride and a false sense of  humanity doesn't allow them to see what's right in front of them.   No, it doesn't.

*~*~*~*~*

You see my friends, when you strengthen your own, provide for them FIRST you create unity.  In that unity you will have more willing souls joining your crusade to provide for others outside your neighborhoods, outside your cities and states.  When you take care of those right in front of you FIRST...You will see clearly how quickly charity grows and filters out. Taking care of those right in front of you FIRST creates a foundation so strong that it cannot and will not  falter. 

But you the prideful hypocrite cannot begin to even fathom that particular concept.   Now can you?
  
hypocrisy: The destroyer of unity and logic; the eviscerator of good sense

The bottom line ladies & gentlemen...
  
The true enemy of the world is Hypocrisy.  And THAT is what we're really at war with!

Personal Appearance on Great Day LIVE with Rachel Platt

Today,(Tuesday, 11/17/15) me, my co-worker Semone Carter and Donna Young from St. Vincent de Paul visited Rachel Platt on Great Day LIVE on WHAS 11 TV to talk about the food/personal item drive Solid Waste Collections is holding to benefit St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.

Things Food Banks Need But Won't Ask For

Some items are in high demand at the food bank and you may not realize it. Because they aren’t essentials, the staff doesn’t publicly ask for them. A survey on Reddit.com asked volunteers what items people would be most appreciative of and we’ve listed the top 10 below. If you’re looking for an easy way to help out, pick some of these up while shopping and drop them off at one of our area food banks.

1. Spices.

Think about it. People who rely on the food bank eat a lot of canned food, rice, oatmeal, white bread, etc. They love spices. Seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, oregano, basil and so on.

2. Feminine Products.

Can you imagine being worried about affording these? Pads, tampons, panty liners, etc. Recommended: Buy in bulk at Costco for donating.

3. Chocolate.

People don’t need it, but think about being in their shoes and how nice it would be to be given a chocolate bar or brownie mix along with your essentials.

4. Toiletries.

Grocery stores are great about donating surplus or unsold food, but they have no reason to donate toilet paper, tooth paste, soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc. Food stamps often don’t cover these

5. Canned meats and jerky.

This isn’t true of all food banks, but some struggle to give users enough protein.

6. Crackers and tortillas.

They don’t spoil and everybody likes them.

7. Baby toiletries.

Diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, baby shampoo, baby soap, baby food, bottles, etc.

8. Soup packets.

Sometimes you look at rice, beans, instant potatoes, and cans of vegetable and think, “What do I make with this?” Hearty soup is a complete meal

9. Socks.

From a former homeless person: “Socks mean the world to you. They keep you warm, make you feel like you have something new, and just comfort you

10. Canned fruit other than pineapple.

Food banks get a lot of pineapple donated. Their clients love it when other kinds of fruit are available.

11.  JELLY!  

What's PB&J without the J?  It's nutrious all by itself--but with jelly (or jam or preserves) it's a great little meal!

12.  Cereals

Boxed cereals are a good stock item.  And many of the cereals such as corn flakes can be used to enhance other foods in recipes.  

And remember! Food banks love cash donations because it allows them to buy whatever they need!

What Are You Willing To Leave Behind?

Today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future,
take a deep breath,step on through and start a new chapter in my life. 

 - Unknown

In order to step through the door of new beginnings questions must be answered.  And from those questions  decisions must be made.  The most important question I ask myself  is...what am I willing to leave behind?


To be genuinely happy, am I willing to let go of all the unhappiness that I have carried all these years?  Am I willing to leave behind the judgments of others and the judgements I hold for myself? What would living  a life free of judgment and self condemnation truly feel like to me?  Am I willing to leave behind the fears associated with these judgments?  Better yet, am I willing to leave behind the fears of having nothing to take judgment's place?


What am I willing to leave behind?  What would it feel like?  What would it look like?  How would I act and appear?


I took it a few steps further and ask myself why I felt to live in judgement?  Whether I was the one doing the judging or the one being judged...what was driving me to accept this as part of my life? My story?  I know I don't like the feelings being judged brings out in me.  And I'm sure no one in their right mind enjoys it either.  So I went a little deeper and asked why would I accept judgment into my being?  The one word that immediately popped into my head was acceptance.  Of course this followed by a resounding WTF?  But as I went deeper into Theta the understanding of it all became clearer.   I learned at an early age that judging was a form of acceptance. Acceptance into a tribe.  (Yea, I rolled my eyes at that one too!)   The more I stretched my consciousness the more sense it made. Everybody (no exceptions) yearns acceptance.  It is this yearning that draws many into cliques.  We've all seen those movies with the "cool kids"  you know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that sneer and jeer at everybody who isn't just like them.  And while there are some who really don't like being in that group, they stay with it and go along with the "in crowd" all for the sake of acceptance. 



That was certainly a WOW moment!  So today, I choose to leave behind judgment.  It's a decision I have made.  To live the life I love, I choose a life that embraces acceptance without conditions.   



I don't know how I embrace acceptance of myself and others, I only know that I do now and I am Fulfilled!



I don't know how I love & accept myself and others unconditionally, I only know I do now and I am Fulfilled!



How does that feel? Liberating!  Energizing!  What does that look like?  Beautiful. Flawless. 

*******

What I notice after doing this One Command is how I see others.  I notice that I now see more of their positive qualities.  I notice the subtle things about the people I work with--the gentleness in their demeanor; the kindness in their eyes.    And I notice something pretty awesome when I look in the mirror...a glow.  Never really noticed that before until now.  

I'm sure it was always there--but now that I abandoned the tribe of judgment, I see others as they truly are and not through dingy lenses of what I once perceived them to be.  What I once perceived myself to be.

Namaste!

The Wonderland Babe Tribe

Years back a brilliant documentary on spirituality and science entitled What The *&%$!? Do We Know?!  was introduced to the world.   The whole movie was inspiring but the most memorable line in the movie was a question posed… 

How Far Down the rabbit hole do YOU want to go?

That question is something I still ask myself to this day.   Especially when I face a challenge to go deeper into myself.  The Rabbit Hole aka Self is a bottomless cavern. Though I’m pretty sure we all have an inkling how deep it is none of us know how far this thing called self really goes.     And Going deeper into self is quite the adventure (to say the least).   

Sadly, fear prevents many of us from going on that particular adventure.    But what are we afraid of?  Fear of losing ourselves?  Fear of losing the people we love?  Fear that we will discover how utterly worthless we are?  Fear of the unknown?  

Truthfully, if we're being genuinely honest with our Self,  it is Fear of our own power that prevents us from taking that plunge.  All other fears are just excuses we make up to keep us from admitting to ourselves the real truth that lurks beneath.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." ~ Marianne Williamson

Each of us feel that power within and it scares the ever living shit out of us.  So we use distractions to keep from going on the wondrous journey within.  But the good news is, no matter what we do to keep it at bay, it's still there.  Still swirling around inside.  Still calling to us to come play.    For some it comes as a subtle urging or nudging.  For others it is a yearning.   Unfortunately, instead of just going along with it, following our guidance--that little white rabbit if you will--we choose to cover it up with distractions.   

Yes my friends, we make a choice to not accept our true Self in lieu of distractions.  Distractions we convince ourselves will fill that void.  Distractions that shuts out the voice calling to face the truth of who we are--who we really and truly are.  That very voice that is screaming YOU are the power.  You don't just possess the power--you are the power!

While we know instinctively and intellectually that everything  we read from those who do follow the white rabbit is true--we still choose distractions over going deeper.   Why?  Is it because we're afraid we will make others uncomfortable?   Seeing how self degradation has become the "in thing" these days I would say that's the case.  I mean after all we don't want to offend anyone with our greatness right?  We don't want to make them feel insecure...right??!!!

"Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you." ~ Marianne Williamson

In the religion of the insecure the worst thing we can do for ourselves and the world is not (1) being our true selves and (2) being true to ourselves!  But I say...Fear be damned!  If the people around you feel uncomfortable with your brilliance then let them be uncomfortable.   Who are they to judge you and dictate you have to be just like them and live in fear?   Go down that rabbit hole and see how far it goes!  What do you have to lose?   Sure you can stay where you are and become just like those who judge you.  But aren't you a little sick and tired of that?  Doesn't it bother you not being the true you? No matter who you are you are unique.  You are a living manifestation of glory of the Divine Creators!  You were born that way!  Just accept it and be it!


"We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  ~ Marianne Williamson


Don't know if Lewis Carroll knew it or not (I'm sure he knows it now *LOL*) but a new tribe was born from his classic story Alice In Wonderland.  A tribe made up of brave men and women who  respond to the question How Far down the rabbit hole do  YOU want to go?  and dive in to find the answers.    They jump in despite, and in spite, of their fears.  They have no clue what they'll find at the end, but they know in their heart of hearts it doesn't matter.  They only know they won't find out what it is or where it leads unless they take that plunge! 

That little tribe is one that I have endearingly dubbed The Wonderland Babe Tribe!  

You're cordially invited to become a part of The Wonderland Babe Tribe just so long as you know and understand the risks.  And the risks are as follows:  You'll be leaving behind everything that boxes you in and forces you to be less than you are.  You will be saying farewell, bon voyage, good-bye, and toodle-ooo  to all those who try their best to shame you in staying in the shadows and snuff out your light.   You will be letting go of everything that holds you back.  You will be releasing all those feelings of self-hatred, worthlessness and self-pity.

It's okay to be afraid.  We all are!  But we're here together so it's not really all that bad!  And best of all we have someone to guide us!  You've already met him.  He's white and furry and ohh so cute! 

Your initiation is answering one simple question....


 How Far down the rabbit hole do  YOU want to go?

To All the men and women who serve in the military and to their families...

WE SALUTE YOU!

To Stress or Not to Stress...

For the past few days I have been grappling with stress.  Mostly work related.  What I have noticed about stress is (1) it really locks up your body and makes it hurt; and (2) it's stressful!  *big smile*


To stress my point on stress and stress release (pun intended) I share with you the following story:

 A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water.   

Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half  full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. To 20 oz.

She replied , "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.  If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.   If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an Ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we
won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.

So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... Pick them up tomorrow.

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8 * Never buy a car you can't push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12 * The 2nd mouse gets the cheese.

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

15 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

16 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

17 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

18 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

19 *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!* 

I THINK !!!!
 

 There is one more I would like to add to the list...SMILE! 

Not only does it relieve stress but it makes people wonder what you're up to!  *LOLOL*
