i learned something sweet from james true not long ago involving casino games. i was studying the son circle 6 square by 6 square all in them 36 digits giving 666 on every corner, bet you know which i mean So here i was really surprised when James told the roulette is a 36 number spinning circle.
Is there any other reason to stop the roulette game at 36 numbers if not to give praise to ba'al and the 666 numbers? red for white and black. spining endlessly like our life is always on under lady luck. the only winning number being the 0 out of this square.
question about addiction, like any duality is a neccessity for its opposite to exist. Would you consider a good idea to choose a controlable or virtuous addiction to keep this vice under control? Addiction is one of the many root of the tree of will (volonté)
A scholar is addicted to learning
A casanova is addicted to woman
A scientist is addicted to confirming proof
A junkie is addicted to dope
A fighter is addicted to violence
A monk is addicted to zen and peace of mind
A mother is often addicted to her children
A father is addicted to the security he can provide to his family
A workaholic is addicted to ambition...or money
here i just gave a few (I dont have all the above) of my addiction in life. some are good some are bad, and i'm not even talking bout my gambling. ok i WAS a poker player, made money of this for 3 years and i stoped. fun time it was. And yes i am a dadma, or a fother, i dont know what creepy word to chose but i raised my sons alone for 10 year.
What i do is when i locate an addiction, i try to swap it for a lesser damaging one. The opposite of addiction is repulsion. A man who would repulse everything would not be a part of this world. So we gotta find a sweet middle i guess.
Wonder what a sage would think about this. And your one of them. share me your wisdom pls=)
is addiction\repulsion something we can evade in life, or something we have to cope with?
We all have needs and impulses of our lower animal nature which have to be accommodated, within reason, in this life. But the general principle is to replace unhealthy addictions, or obsessions, with higher-level activity devoted to good deeds, service to others, duty, learning, healthy exercise, and the like. Of course if we can do this with good cheer, all the better. So in the morning, we spend time here in prayer, meditation, listening to classical music, positive discussion, and the like. The goal is a kind of spiritual development that attunes to daily life, not taking away from it. A good laugh also goes a long way, and if we are wrong, confess our mistakes outwardly or inwardly and ask forgiveness. And there is no way to avoid mistakes while we are alive.
A healthy, daily prayer life is also important. You can pray to your guardian angel for help and guidance, to St. Michael the Archangel, Jesus, or other higher beings. Just tell them you need a little help and that you appreciate their being there.
Also, get some exercise daily and get out in nature. We walk and garden. And at 78 I don't drink alcohol and take no prescription medications.
Hey! I love your morning. Its also why i hated my last job at 6 am (and any at 6 am) no time for self sanity. Its great that some senior arent on pills too! You got my respect for that 100%, my dad died of opioid addiction it was messy ugly and young (61)
