Thank you for the kind thoughts, my mother was a kind soul and we can let her kindness live with us. One of my first newsletters I wrote was called "My Spiritual Journey." I included my most reflective poem:

G is for giving what I receive,

O is oneness through everyone,

D is the destiny we perceive together.

Hope moves the despondent,

Only through God's grace,

Peace to those that have found it,

Establish what to aspire.

God forgives us when we receive Him,

Occurring through His grace,

Destiny recovers when we live life together.

Soul symbolizes the spirit of the masses,

One changes through God's grace,

Utmost spiritualism changes the passive,

Learning that I am.

God gave us the concept of consciousness,

Opening the door to His grace,

Destiny is decided when we think together.

Will makes up the mind to be mindful,

It is the key to God’s grace,

Lead me to choose to be grateful,

Let it be that, I am.

It would appear after 2000 years reciting The Lord's Prayer, this part is not happening, 'thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' or we would not be at the precipice of blowing ourselves up.

Higher Awareness is much higher than ego, and it is sacred. May our Higher Awareness be done on this Earth, as it can be imagined in our Higher Awareness! Give everyone natural, healthy food, and forgive us for our sins, as we forgive sinners! And lead us not into temptation by silly ego, but keep Higher Awareness in meditation! For in a meditative state there is higher pleasure, true calmness, true courage, true compassion, and true power, and there is the glory for us all forever. Amen.

Hey, thanks for the connect. You are one of a kind, have to say that. Great style and... passion! You have it a nerve with the support system for independent and underground writers on the net. Without a business model (like traditional publishers have), it is extremely difficult for independent writers to create scarcity. There are hundreds of thousands academics, journalists, and bloggers now on Substack. There is no scarcity, so no reason why persons should pay for subscriptions. Most paid subscriptions are family, friends, fake accounts, or really just one-off do-gooders with a soft heart. A real business model, this is not. Therefore, I have this feeling that Substack is for writing what Youtube is for film and Spotify is for music. It is a racket, with a few favorite artists earn millions, while millions of also-runners or laters will get nothing. It will only get worse, because bow ChatGPT and artificial intelligence can produce limitless content. Even a truck driver can now post pitch-perfect and readable philosophical memoirs here on Substack, or on Youtube or Wordpress or wherever. Therefore, I think, in the near future there will be (once again) nothing as effective in these digitalized times than doing real life performances or working with real people on a publication. I am afraid Substack is not people friendly. Here, writers and readers are just algorithms, clicks, and baits. Cheers! T

Good morning.

You asked me about gems. You had one in your reply to me. You said, "You are a smart cookie, but I just a smart cookie cutter." What a wonderful turn of phrase! You took a popular idiom like smart cookie and turned it on its head by calling yourself a smart cookie cutter. That's all you. I have never heard "smart cookie cutter" in my life. You led the reader down what he thought was a familiar road and made him realize he wasn't where he thought he was. That's a great payoff for a reader and what every single reader wants. Have to go for now, take care.
