SHARING IS CARING

Life never ends throwing curves and lessons at you!

This week this writer learned about humility. Accepting life. Giving into the struggle for perfection. Treating others better than yourself. Most of all, with a post today, a realization that sharing is caring!

When you take what's truly in your heart and push aside the B.S., and realize that what you have inside is real, and can be shared to help others, an amazing thing happens. The first sign of peace in your soul will occur and begin to shine forth to others.

The words that escape your mouth will change. From complaints about life, and others to blessings about the World, friends, and companions.

You realize that no one wants to hear the negative.

Why?

We all have negative in our lives, right? We all have things we hide, or maybe are ashamed of. We all have low days. It's rough! However, who wants to hear about your bad day, when they may be having one of their own.

The truth, which many of you may have already noticed before the ripening age of 47, is that everyone wants to hear positive thoughts. They want to get away from the everyday draw of bad news, and bad thoughts, and bad feelings when they settle in to read what you have to say.

Sharing good feelings can intrigue. It can impress, and it can endear the heart beyond the riches of material life.

Wanting more, and needing perfection will not make your life better. This doesn't mean that one shouldn't struggle to reach perfection or to have more in life, but to think that this is what will make you happy is a huge farce!

Why is it that some of us don't ever learn from the history of those who thought this struggle for those things to bring you happiness only brings sadness, fights, imperfect settings, and eventually the downfall?

This blogger is more than guilty of all the above mentioned in bad connotations. 

What one can do, not so simply, is reduce the ego, reduce the fight, reduce the NEED for perfection, wealth, fame, and all that comes with it. Increase the NEED for love, affection, caring, sharing, and commitment to building a monument to true success. The kind of success you see in people such as Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, Denzel Washington, Robert Downey Jr., Larry Bird, Derek Jeter, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, James Cromwell, John Barry, Harrison Ford, and even more so, Tom Hanks, Elton John, and the ultimate famous, wealthy, and successful man with the heart of Gold to go along with it, Richard Branson of the Virgin Company.

These are only a few specks of the recent dust in history who have proven to us what it takes to be a small part of a Globally Unifying society.

Small you might quarry?

Yes, these folks all know that we are only glimpses in the history of a tiny little speck in the Universe. In fact, as we are finding out more and more each day from NASA, and other scientifically exploring companies is that we are even less than a speck in this Universe, along with the possible chance of there being multi-verses as they are now stating to be true.

Many of us do a lot of reading. My favorite place to go to learn about the world is Flipboard. This site is an online magazine that offers several topics to choose from for you to follow. From top news, and politics to space, to aliens, to third world countries, to science, to health, and on and on. The list is pretty extensive, and they seem to add to it every now and then. Flipboard also offers you the ability to create your own magazine and fill it with the stories you loved reading, or the topics you think are most important to society. Also, if you blog on Niume, you can flip your own stories into this magazine as well, and sometimes Flipboard will pick your article out to be in THEIR magazine topics, as well.

I mention the above more for the reason that you can find amazing inspiring stories to share with your friends on social media, and with the world beyond if they are shared over and over again. Isn't that what we should do? Share positive messages with everyone?

A great friend of mine, who I can't even call close, as we only worked on a show together, which breathes this concept of helping and sharing with others (Les Miserables), constantly shares positive, inspiring messages with everyone on facebook. I have never seen a negative comment or meme or message come from this young MAN!!! So many human beings could take from his positive energy and reproduce what he emits. 

What does sadden me, is those who might suggest that he is too much, or not real, or fake. Never has this person come across to me this way in person, or online. He would be a great leader for the world if that was his path, but he only chooses to entertain and make people happy every day of his life. His name deserves mentioning, but I have no right to do so. I don't find his daily sharings to be a nuisance, or to be a call for attention at all. I find him to be awe inspiring. A pure gentleman, and a kind soul.

I know there are many of you who love this kind of person, and you are some of whom I write to. Then there might be those who read this that are either non-sensitive or non-committal to the concept of someone being so inspiring without some negative trait within them.

Why?

Can't there be purely beautiful people in this world? There have to be millions of human beings born this way, but life brought them down. Beat down their hearts and souls into submitting to the meanness of which the world can create. Enduring, but no longer sharing.

Today, this person shared a video that I hope I can link to this article below. It is simple. It is not glorious, or shining, or overstated. It just shows you without grandeur, how a small part of sharing can help others. I thought as I got part way through it that this dude in the video was just doing this small thing to help him be more successful. Watch the video to the end, and you will see that your possible same thought will change. Only if you have this heart and soul I speak of.

Sharing is Caring! Video

"Sharing IS Caring" because what you give to others in a positive light, can not only be a plus for you but more importantly a plus for all. When we all succeed, we ALL SUCCEED!!!! How can that concept go wrong?

So, I guess I'll close this today with a few ideas. Why not share a hug, a kiss, a kind word, support, the better side of your heart? Why not help someone else succeed? You can only win, when others win, as well!

HAVE SCIENTISTS PROVEN THERE IS A GREATER POWER?

So, yesterday I think it was... I posted an article that scientists have discovered that our brains do have a conscience quantum realm in the tubules of our brains that prove we have souls and conscience life that returns to the Universe when our bodies die. 

https://www.peacequarters.com/scientists-found-soul-doesnt-die-goes-back-universe/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=ewaofb

I think this is fabulous, and I agree with their findings that our dreams in a sleep state put us in touch with this realm. However, my argument about it and my rethinking of this quantum realm have re-inspired my possible belief that there is a greater power.

Because, if you are atheist and believe in humans coming out of animal evolution,  at what point did this quantum realm enter our beings as humans? I back this up with the intelligence level of most animals. 

https://aeon.co/ideas/do-only-humans-have-souls-or-do-animals-have-them-too

Yes, I believe they have souls and feelings, but their lower level of intelligence and communication does not explain them being on the same level of quantum consciousness. 

If we evolved from animals, why would they not contain the same mental abilities as we do, if we are all from a conscience realm outside of Earth?  

The only way to explain that away would be to theorize that there are different levels of quantum consciousness.  Is this possible?

Well, in questioning my own theory, I put forth the argument that we all have different levels of intelligence and morals that most usually come from our souls and consciousness.  

Therefore, I would have to further theorize, based on these new scientific findings, which the article or study did not seem to cover, is that there must be different levels of quantum consciousness in the Universe beyond Earth. 

But that might quash the other theories that we can be reincarnated as animals or from animal to human. Is it possible for there to be a level of quantum consciousness change? That is a question I'd like to see these scientists whom I fully support and admire to answer in their following studies in this matter.

How do I tie this to the feasibility of there being a greater power? A God? A spiritual realm beyond Earth?

I would not argue that there is a man-made version of God out there at all. I think our thoughts on this judgmental God, and his Son coming to forgive our sins, is a bit far-fetched. As previously stated in other articles, I like to believe that something powerful enough to create our Universe as we know it, or multi-verses as having been theorized by Scientists, does not judge what he himself created. At this point in scientific findings, I definitely argue against a Heaven and Hell.

That doesn't necessarily mean that our states of consciousness that this Greater Power may have created throughout the Universe and on other planets do not come with some of what the Bible mentions, as our freedom of choice to be good or bad from birth. But, how does a baby choose to be evil, or good? Does our consciousness decide this before we are born, and once we enter our Earthly bodies, our brains are reduced to not understanding or remembering our choice prior to birth? What?? Now that's getting a little crazy and again goes against my gut belief that there is a religious realm or reality to all of this.

Unless, of course, Genesis is correct in the one concept that evil started with Eve and Adam and the apple, and does not exist outside of Earth. Maybe this God has created other life in the Universe that does not have feelings of good or bad. That do not have that choice of freedom. Maybe his statement in the Old Testament that we on Earth will never fully comprehend his mysteries rings true. Maybe we are the first beings in the Universe to have a choice between right and wrong with our conscientious thinking. 

Then I would ask this God, why does he not allow us to use all of our brains, and not only 10%. Why does he hold us to just a limited ability of thinking and consciousness?

Religious folks would say to just pray on this. I prayed for 9 years, in full faith, and none of my prayers were ever answered, nor my questions. Is that the God we are supposed to believe in?

Is it possible that a Greater Power did create us, the Universe and other beings in the past on other planets completely different, and we just happen to be the only ones who know right from wrong on Earth? Do right and wrong only exist on Earth?

Just look at what we've discovered in the past 10 years in space. I think the answer is right in front of our eyes. From Earth, the stars all pretty much look alike, right? But, when we leave this beautiful blue orb of ours, we find that nothing is the same in the Universe. Yes, there are some constants of course that keep it all together, but we have discovered way more differences than our minds are barely able to grasp. How about the fact that the billions of stars all have their own planet or planets circling them? I don't think religion ever supported that theory, and yet, here we are in the 21st Christian Century with proof that the Universe is extremely complex! 

I'd love to be able to end this article with a perfect answer, but there isn't one, and probably never will be. 

I do believe thought that our souls do go somewhere else after we die here on Earth. Why else do people we know talk to us in our dreams, while we are in a higher state of open consciousness?

Why do we have proven military tests of people who can remotely view outside of their bodies while in a dream state?

Why are there UFO's? Why is there proof in the ancient world all over the planet that Aliens or higher powers once visited us, and probably still do?

So many questions... However, I think science continues to grow closer to the answers than does religion? No? Religion remains static in its beliefs and growth, but Science continues to better our planet, increase our ability, and send us to places we never dreamed of... How about that first wheel invention... Think about that!

MORE THAN 13 REASONS WHY!

Many of us have been there before. A little whisper, a nudge, a tossed book, a threat to see you after school, the chase home from the bus.

That was the old days!

Now it's a picture here, a rumor there, a lie on the internet, a threat to murder.

Bullying still remains in the halls of education from elementary through college, and it's never going away. Based on my children's views, it is not what it once was... but how do they know?

Bullying may have roamed the halls of students more abundantly in years past, but now, it's taken on a whole new form of creation, and it only takes one child, teen, or college student to make us all aware of the atrocity of this human lack of justice toward our fellow beings.

I have recently torn through most of the first season of 13 Reasons Why on Netflix Originals. A television style formatted show that carries us unknowingly through the history of a girl's experience at a new high school before she committed suicide.

Correct, we already know from the beginning that she committed suicide. Well, I haven't finished the first season yet and wanted to write this before I do, because I am unsure as to what the ending of the journey will be. I have to admit, that I almost hope that it's all a dream and that this character didn't kill herself, but that the whole creation is just a lesson to young people in the world today.

Chances are, she did kill herself since her parents seem to be playing the part of bereaving parents.

I really don't want to give away the story, or much else, so I'll leave my discussion of the show here.

With that in mind, I do want to touch on some of the attitudes that prevail in the students directly involved and not directly involved.

You might wonder why I write on this topic, and what my outcome might be, as I have decided to write about hope and inspiring things from now on. Well, that is what I intend to do. 

You see, I lived this life of bullying and what I experienced is different from this character's experiences. Further, I'd hate to say that my childhood was worse than what she has gone through in the movie so far. That's just it! The base of how bullying can cause a lifetime of pain or an end to a life.

We all experience it in a different way because we are all different. We carry different hearts, different thoughts, and different feelings within each of us. Some are more sensitive... you can chalk me up to that description early in life, and then some of us are hard.

I don't believe this is always a result of your upbringing either. I had two other brothers, and we all experienced different levels of bullying where we grew up. Yet, we all grew up in the same household. My older brother took it head on with anger. I ran afraid. My younger brother laughed it off. Three totally different responses to bullying, but all with the same upbringing. I feel that this supports my theory that we are all born with individual ways of handling life, despite our immediate environment. 

Now, I am not going to sit here and write that my brothers didn't have as big of a heart as I did. They just had different hearts. John was strong, I was weak, and Chris was blase.

I remember my older brother getting into fights with the local teens all the time, even defending me sometimes. I remember my younger just walking away laughing at people. Both were effective. But I took everything to heart, and let it hurt me more than it should have. Why? I have no idea. 

Before the age of 10 or 11, when I finally stood up to my neighborhood's biggest bully our age, only in order to protect my younger brother from what was a sure threat to hurt him, I was picked on, called names, chased home from the bus many days, and even trapped near the bus after school and punched in the stomach and arms. Luckily, I've only been hit in my face twice ever in my life when I was older, and that didn't go very well for the other participant at all. Even at school, I was called names and picked on by both girls and boys, and always picked last for every gym or sports event we were all involved in. I would try to get in line first to get on the bus, so that I could be first off at my stop. I did have one advantage over everyone, excpet Robbie. I was the second fastest kid in the whole development. Luckily, Robbie didn't come along until I was 10 or so, and by then I stood my ground with him. We actually ended up friends eventually. 

So, there you have it. My wonderful childhood. On top of that, both of my brothers would entrap me in situations of fighting I didn't want to be a part of, and even went as far as to put me in a very large wooden toy box, and sit on the cover for 10 or 20 mintues, until I was screaming so loud, they had to let me out. All I remember from those years, is crying. Whether it was from parental beatings, or peer brutality.

Some might say this was no big deal. Just the common life of many kids. But, as I mentioned before, it was not common to me, or my heart, as it is not to those of the hearts that you may have bullied, or that may be getting bullied now.

Where am I going with this... Well, the art of bullying is usually brought on by just the opposite type of persona. These kids, teens, or college students have either been born or taught to be this way. Sure, it's easy to create programs in schools in which we try to teach how bad and wrong bullying is. That may just work for the ones who have good hearts and just learned from their older siblings or their home environment. 

What about the heartless though? They do exist you know. I have received apologies from some of my old schoolmates, and one of my brothers, and my elder. But, some of these people I've run into still carry the same type of facade, and intensity that made them the bullies they were back then.

Again, that was the old days of bullying. Harmless words, and fights, right?

Now, it's a whole new dimension in which bullying takes on a completely different paradigm. Now, these children, teens, and adults have phones, cameras, recorders and more with them every day. They carry guns, knives, bombs, and even advanced weaponry at times.

Bullying is not simple anymore, and it doesn't have to be widespread to be a huge problem. These human beings who are bullied for being different are now put in the limelight. They are plastered all over the internet for not just a few people as the old days with rumors, but to hundreds, thousands, and millions to see. Their hearts, their minds, their souls are torn apart, stomped on, and thrown out like a dead carcass before they have even had a chance to live life.

13 Reasons Why brings this kind of humiliation to the forefront for us all to see. I strongly suggest, if you are reading this, and haven't seen it, and have Netflix (Who doesn't), to watch it, if this is a topic of interest to you or means even more than that in your world. Whether it has been you or is your child or someone you know, it is time to tackle this ugly monster head on!

It is time for people like me and those who somehow survived countless thoughts of death and suicide over the years, that are now strong, to stand up and speak, to make videos, to get in touch with our souls, and make a difference, so that we can save just one more life if even possible!

It is not just about the bullying or the bully. It is more about the victims, and what kind of being they are inside. How can they handle it, what is happening, who is involved, how can you help? 

Don't be afraid to talk to teachers, to principles, to other parents, and School Administration. Don't let anyone slough it off as unimportant, or as a program that's being worked on in the meantime. We need more than programs, we need more actions and more oversight in the world of bullying. Those who can be taught to stop should be taught, and those that can not be controlled should be expelled, and watched very closely by authorities of all kinds.

It's time to protect the futures of all children, teens, and adults who are different! It's time to celebrate them and who they are, who they want to be, and who they have to be to be happy!

This can be a World of LOVE, if we all try harder every day! I hope I'm doing my part with this article, and wish I could do even more! 

There are more than 13 Reasons Why bullying should stop. In fact, there are Billions of Reasons Why...
