No person can learn, if they do not see themselves as equal with their teacher. Of course, you may not be equal in knowledge or experience; but you surely have other gifts. This belief, this knowledge allows the student to comprehend what the teacher teaches and thus develop it further; by not being restricted by habit or rigid belief [which may be suffered by the teacher]. It takes a lot of internal change to accept that which is different, but being too open minded can also result in catastrophe.
You can allow yourself to be persuaded by others in order to feel as though you belong. Your morals will suffer for your ego. You should be certain of this: you were made unique to allow yourself a different experience, and for your future to be bountiful. This is how the student becomes the master [I know very corny and feeble] by taking the knowledge from several sources and varying application by experience.
This is how we form wisdom. Understand the knowledge and how it applies, then utilise it in the best way for the situation at hand. No one deserves the 'honour' of being called stupid by your mouth. For there is always someone smarter...always. Your pitiful measurements of intelligence and negligible next to the infinite in which we live each moment.

Purpose
Today I'm just going to leave a little thought with you.
All that is, isn't; but it could be. All it requires is a purpose and motivation to fulfill that specific purpose.
Of course it takes people to realise the problem and often create something to solve it/fill the purpose. Look about your lives at problems and see if you can find solutions.

Why!
There has always been one question I have asked myself in ever situation...why?
Not "why did that happen?" or "why is life not fair?" those are small questions for the children among us. I ask myself, why are you feeling this way?" or "why are you not standing up and doing something?". Usually that gets my mind pointed in the 'right' direction again. (Whichever way the right way is - varied by experience)
I say usually because there are times when you can't ask why straight away. In a way you sort of need to lay down the concrete facts, before you begin the construction of working out where to go. So what concrete do I use? The truths, that are these: I have a family that loves me, I have a home, I am well, I have great friends, I can eat each day, I am secure, I am free. I understand that some of these cannot be said by all people, but that does not matter. Coming at a situation from a point of security will ultimately lead you to success, along with time and preparation, nothing is more important.
Support of friends and family can be a big help when confronting the giant at hand. You have to get used to sharing your fears, your problems with them though. They cannot help you, if you don't give them the right information. Yes it may be hard, it may be humbling and embarrassing, but surely they will see you as a bigger person because you were willing to ask for help rather than go it alone.

Truth Will Out
Things that are true have a tendency to outlast things that are false. Even if the false thing is believe by many; e.g. "the world is flat" was accepted for a very long time, but it was false. The truth of the world being a sphere [oblate spheroid] has been proven and had outlasted the falsity. Thanks to the development of tech and our understanding of physics.
Onto God then. If the very idea of a single creator of all thing was a lie; how has it stayed so very popular for over 2000 years? Surely people aren't so gullible as to just accept what they are told...surely? But yet we see, in many religions there is one God or one force that started the ball rolling.
But we live in a very physical age. The spiritual side of life is sort of neglected by the majority and this had hindered the development of the rest of the organism of humanity. Of course, since we can't fully describe the spiritual side of life, the soul, or anything of that nature in a physical way...not many people are concerned by it. "A fluke of evolution" has been used to describe the soul.
Religion in all its major forms, has too many followers for God not to be accepted as a super-being at the least. Even atheists recognise God must exist, else they wouldn't form a group stating He doesn't.
In the end i cannot persuade you God is real...and to be honest i don't want to force your belief. It must be a natural step that you as an individual take. Just look about, develop a healthy sense of curiosity about God and the Bible and see where that can take you.

Vising
Or to be more precise (re)vising can be at times a seemingly tiresome affair that may feel like it is accomplishing very, very little. However, the brain is an advanced and extremely complex and unusual organ, that still baffles scientists; so who knows what goes on in there.
"You can only try your best" is what I tend to hear at college, but what about when your best isn't good enough?
1 Corinthian 2:14-16 Go look it up right now!
We have the mind of Christ! Isn't that amazing? Thinking short term here, that means i can remember AND understand all my work and revision for the exams that are facing me. No mountain of work is too big for God...He is God!
Look to God and the answers will become clear to you. No journey undertaken with the right mindset and blessing from God will fail. Even though at times it can appear to be hopeless stand tall and trust your God, for there is always Hope; and where there is Hope there is Faith.
Matthew 17:20 states that with Faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains. Nothing is impossible in Faith.
But now we have to understand the right application of Faith. You cannot simple fly because you want to. The application of Faith must achieve something of purpose, either in your life or the lives of others to be brought closer to God.
What then can I do? Well you want good grades, or a promotion, or even to get on better with someone. Well heres a newsflash, God may not give you want you want. He will however give you what you need; and if you approach the situation in the right way, all will fall into place. So God may give you a promotion in order that your family is more financialy secure, or that you can exercise your talent as being a leader...the possibilites are limitless. But as I said earlier...you may not. And it's in these times we must cling to God and actively seek out His plan for us. It may take a long time, but thats where Faith comes into play again. And where there is Faith there is Growth.

Ideas in motion
Why should a Government waste time, money and its respect on 'mind control'? I personally do not believe in such techniques, but there are a very many people who do.
Is it not easier to keep the public under-informed and lied to? Perhaps.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
If you want some 'light' reading or just need a laugh i strongly recommend this .
Of course since no tangible facts are quoted and there is no way to finitely prove any of this, it attracts a large audience. Moreover if it did work, why do so many people still hate/dislike the Government? Surely if you can make people do anything, can't you make them love you? And also give you all their money; work non-stop and so on.
In this age of 'equality' and 'health and safety' there would be too many discrepancies to cover up. And if the Government could cover them all up...how do we even know mind control exists? Wouldn't they want us to be the perfect worker class; no rights, no questions, no freedom, only work?
For the sake of 0.05% success rates, it is too much for them to risk. When they can just change the laws and change the taxes and change their minds *Clegg* as much as they want, mind control is a mute point. They already run everything else.

A Time Of Peace
I must confess recently i have enjoyed the memories of my childhood again. Mainly TV shows that were around in the 90's and i do believe life is truly wonderful.
I look out of the window and see the beauty of nature; the colours the shapes, how can any of this be accidental? It was all made, sculpted perfectly by the One who created us and all things.
You must know by now. You are not 1 in 7 billion, not even 1 in 100 billion. You are one of a kind model 1 of 1. God only made 1 of you then started again for someone else. Sure we can look like other people but i firmly believe that the physical is a small part of our overall existence. Your soul, your mind is completely different from those around you. And if you don't spend your life being you, who will?

Show Them You Care
I know that if I just randomly dropped out of contact with everyone I know I would get a fair few question thrown at me. Worried people may just text or call me, but those who truly cared would come round to my house and ask me face to face what is happening.
Given that, why do we accept it as part of everyday life when people just stop coming to groups/meeting or social events? Surely it is the same thing?
Does compassion go beyond the physical? Or is it just being stuck in an emotional state? I think it has a lot more to do with the soul. Yeah that old thing, threaded into your body. It is having the mindset to care about others - even those that may not care about you - and how you can help them achieve a fuller, more beautiful life. Even when you are at a low point in your life. True compassion, grows from within, and is a pure gift from God. It is a keystone of Love, without it there is no care or support.
So what do we do when people just stop coming or stop caring? We set out to show them how much their friendship and contact mean to us and others; and we go to not take no for an answer. They must be shown that they are not alone, or that there is more to life than this, or that there is someone listening.
If you pause because you are thinking of consequences...don't! Just go, if you feel they need some help, then God will deal with the resolution, but it's up to you to start the action.

Timewise
In reference to time how long is too long?
Is it a lifetime? Is it seven years? is it even a second? Of course, it depends entirely upon the subject. Take Love for example in truth you can never spend too long in Love. If both parties are loyal, humble, faithful, passionate...in Love, it may as well last for ever. Just to completely wrap this example up...
Point 1: 1 John 4:8 God is Love
Point 2: Jeremiah 10:10 God is the eternal King
So...Love is eternal so has no time limit.
However; when we are talking about something smaller, something like contemplation, "how long is too long?". If you experience a major incident, you are going to think about it for a while. It may have shocked you, or helped you, but it will keep popping up in your head for a while. But you can't let it get in the way of the rest of your LIFE! Sure things happen, but that is life itself. And you are alive after all, so put on a brave face and walk outside. Think about the future for once, of what could be. Remember what it felt like as a child and stretch to your goals.
Growing up was only ever created to be a physical progression, it shouldn't make you forget about LIVING YOUR LIFE! So in answer to the question of contemplation; any amount of time that stops you living is too long...remember that.

Apology
It is true what your parents have told you. Saying sorry is one of the hardest things to do. You may think it seems quite easy, it sounds quite easy, it has been easy. But that has only been in VERY small situations.
Saying sorry, when you want to mean it most, when you have been moved in your heart and you have found no other way to apologise, is almost impossible, but necessary and most definitely worth it in the end.
Why is it almost impossible? Because you know, you have done wrong. You know that you have upset the balance, you can feel it. And you understand that saying anything else may hurt the other party more. Something beyond human, is telling you that asking for forgiveness is a VITAL part of life. But you just want them to know you are sorry.
How can you be sure that apologising is the right thing? If you have created a wrong, then it has to be corrected...BY YOU! No other person can undo the damage you have done. It IS your responsibility, so that person can have a happier life.
Could it make things worse? I have considered this in my own situations. Too much time has passed, bringing it up may do more harm than good. But they need to know what you have been through. Maybe not the details, but certainly that you understand where you put them and how sorry you really are now.
are you going to let LIFE pass you by, without an apology? Life IS short, get over yourself, if your not saying sorry because of pride...it is not worth the PAIN! Drop the facade, become your own person and accept your mistakes and learn from them. At the very least, learn from your past. So that it can be avoided in the future. Not speaking to someone you care about has torn the world in two. There are too many lives lost to solitude and pain. Too many voices have faded into the darkness because of selfish actions from selfish people who don't know what harm a single word can do. So GO and make that phone call, GO and tell that person what a fool you have been, GO and show the people why you came back!
At the end of the day in our own little situations, there can never be enough advice; you can never be fully prepared. Just take a chance, it may save your life.
