Thread the needle; starting to patch it up

Do you like horror flicks? I do.
I especially enjoy those poking fun and intrigue at the coming of the end of the world.

Zombieland is a favorite. Especially with the Twinkie shoot out scene.

This week's 2 hour sit down was The Book of Eli.

Religious Apocolyptic rain down on humanity; and no more Bibles exhist.
Except for one! In the hands of a black man who has undeniable and breathing faith.
It's the last bible on the planet, and where religion no longer has a heavy influence on humanity, because no one knows what it is....there is anarchy, cannabalism, and destruction among the living on earth.

In the book of Revelation in the bible it states that the coming of the end of the world, the son of god Jesus Christ will come. All those with faith's human bodies will disappear and their souls will be forever in peace. They will descend into whatever we may perceive or imagine would be heaven.
Those without faith, without the knowing of the lord may be left on the earth to dwell in what then will be known as Hell.

If that's the case....how could one bible remain? How could a book dubbed as holy, the most sovereign of words surpass the end of humanity with flame, murder, abuse, tyranny, disease, and more. How could it survive?

In the movie the bible is perceived as a controlling weapon.
But is it? Or is it something that was written so outlandish....that people just have a tough time believing it.
That's where faith comes in.
You either have it or you don't.
Either choice doesn't make you a bad person. And don't ever let anyone tell you so.
Judgement however.....
People with faith judge other's all the time. More people would probably believe in God if it weren't for that I think.

If they understand that it's spirituality and not religion. Which would prevent that whole apocolyptic bible war from happening anyway.

No wonder people hate so much. Hate is the worst disease.
It brings more pain than any physical ailment we could dream of.

Didn't hitler try this with the whole burning of the books?
Suprise! Any Jew will tell you......don't screw with God's people.
You'll get hurt.

Who says it's survival of the fittest?

Will there really be Zombies?
I am Legend gave a little perspective and possible realistic happening of what the apocolypse could bring. Like so many other movies...

But would it be a cure to Cancer?

Have any of you seen an Alzheimers patient? Or a Veterans Hospital for that matter?

The only difference is they haven't eaten the flesh off your bones.
Yet.(Kidding!!!)

In order to survive an apocolypse....

What's the checklist?
Do you own a handy copy of ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE?

I do.

But honestly,......what does it take?

Sound mind.
Do any of us have the strength to stand alone?
So alone that we have no one to speak with for days...maybe even months at a time.

Motivated Spirit. The drive of an angry bear.
Would depression take over?
Adrenaline would probably prevent that from happening considering every day would have to use every sense you have to it's fullest potential.
"But that's exhausting you say!!!" Gasp. You mean life is hard work?
You don't say.

Or would anyone have the mental stamina to hold up and be positive even if they weren't getting the right kinds of nutrients?
Nutrients being water....food....would you be willing to eat a cat?
That's right. Meow Meow get's it. The only hissing I wanna hear is the roasting over a fire pit.
AGAIN I KID!!! Nasty sense of humor I know.

When you lose things, environments change, your body changes. It conditions itself to adapt.
Of that you can be sure.
But how willing is the mind, and pushing until the spirit becomes broken?

Push yourself. Push to your very core until you can feel it pushing back.

Wanna know where it is?
Behind your heart.
In between the lungs.
The soul burns, right, there.
And when the heart breaks you can feel it sinking into your stomach.
So when the heart is beating stronger....
Imagine how good that must feel.
It's better than being in love.

Do any of us have the endurance to walk endlessly with the know how of when it's time to quit?
Before we die of dehydration....or heat stroke....before we retain water or shin splint?
Are any of us that have no military training or athletic backgrounds understanding of what a "jock" might have to go through on a daily basis to be "Superhuman"?


What about if we encountered people along our path who were willing to help us; willing to follow, be patient, willing to share and reap benefits of survival in the worst. Or would you even want someone to talk to? Sharing isn't all it's cracked up to be when you're going to be the last man standing.
But if you stand alone...really alone...with no one to share it with....
What's the point?

Could you give in to your emotional needs over pride so that you could in fact be happy or content with the company of someone in times of complete despair?

Or would it be safer to be on your own.

Sometimes in my past, I felt this way already.
I felt like I was in the true beginnings of the apocolypse.
Religious fanatics might have one or two things to say....so would the minister in Minnesota.
What if there is no hell? It's right here. People just don't see it yet.

I did feel this way and still do think about it.

Look around you. There is Good and Evil.
You can't have one without the other.



There is a darkness that lies within people just as much as there is a light.
The way we are raised, the choices we make, our influences, all have a way to do with where we end up.
When it comes down to it, there are the vital choices...the main points in which we learn lessons.
If you're willing to learn, the good comes faster.
If you're not willing to learn...really learn, emotionally accepting something while mentally grasping the full meaning behind whatever has just happened to you,...It will knock you so hard on your ass you might find a bruise soaking through the front end if you catch what I'm sayin'.

If people did actually pay attention this way...the world could be cleaner...in the sense that you could actually feel a difference in the air.

Some people call that an Ora.

It's like a bubble that projects whatever lies deep within the soul of a living being.
Animals have them too.

Would deterring what kind of Ora you have help you understand what you can do so have a fulfilling life? Would it help anyone survive through a little bit more each day?

Would it allow you to find where you are actually supposed to be?

Then, when we find our place is where true happiness be found. Is it not?

I've always believed in things unseen. Had faith. And been able to see things other's couldn't.

It's not a secret, and although I don't talk about it much, there are people in my life who know this.
For so many years I was blocked by medicines, depression, and bad environments. But I kept moving, I kept trying, pushing, harder....wanting it so bad I could taste it.

But that's how survival works. You have to want it.
Bear Grylls would tell you.
Eating bugs is a challenge and building a taboggon out of deerskin and firewood is no easy task.
But you had better damned well be wanting to feel that adrenaline pumping through your veins.

As much as I enjoy sitting around a campfire, trust me, I do,...I would love to be as Badass as the gentleman listed above.
I really do want to call him Uncle Bear. I bet he calls his kids cubs'.

You have to strive for it in a way that shines over everything. It allows others to see that there is something different about you.
There may be something magnificent about you, and only you know what it is.
If you share it....if you allow others to see it too they will try to destroy you.
And the things you think you need....99% ; you don't.
People come in and out of our lives with purpose. And we notice what we notice to learn and observe with understanding.
For some this may take great energy, but, it's worth it.
You can feel the strength building in your heart when there is chaos in the mind.


But you have to pay attention.
If you don't, the zombies will get you.
