GOD DOES INDEED HONOR THE PRAYERS OF A CARING MOTHER - UPDATED (6/5 - 6/7/2013) as well as 3/24, 4/2, 4/17, 5/6, 7/2, 7/23, 7/25, 7/31, 12/7/2014, 8/29 & 9/17/2015!

Introduction:

While going through some old correspondence from my journey in the U.S. A. I discovered a “gem” from my Mother dated July 2, 1978 in, which as the below photo composite of the letter depicts, her desire for me at that “God would keep you fit and give you wisdom and understanding that you may succeed in what you are undertaking”, which she never stopped doing as the below examples depict. Even though the short-term objectives were achieved years ago; the more long-term implications of her request took many, many years to be fulfilled in ways that even she could not have envisioned, HE did in His time. This is an account about how God does respond when His help is sought ONLY please follow.

Here are Issues of Importance: 
When carrying out assignment as a student (for those who actually carried out their own assignments instead of “free loading” off the accomplishments of others. It was one such assignment, a class speech, for, which all were required to carry out and having described my assignment to her in a prior letter prompted her to intercede on my behalf as stated above and also stated along with what’s above “and wish you all the best with your speech may God grant you wisdom you just ask him to” He hears your prayer” (see below photo inserts). This is very true because as explicitly

                         

                               

God did exactly as requested in my late Mother's & my prayers, He gave me the strength to overcome the challenges.

 

God did exactly as requested in my late Mother's & my prayers, He gave me the strength to overcome the challenges.

depicted in the Biblical book of Judges 3: 9/10, God (the ONE) doesn’t intervene on our behalf unless we first recognize the need for His assistance and then request it, in the two-step process that typically brings more meaning to our lives (as the discussions on the subject of understanding on this Blog clearly revealed - see the post WHAT REALLY IS UNDERSTANDING (EDITED)? . This request from my Mother was even more significant than the Class Speech assignment (carried out successfully) and furthermore much more so than she realized. This request would eventually lead to a realization of the details of my heritage that had been earlier dismissed by me (but prized by others who recognized its significance); to be accurate (as documented in the posts THE OUTSPOKEN PEN PAL WHO BECAME A FRIEND EDITED W/INSERTS - UPDATED/AMENDED! as well as THE MAKING OF A GENUINE HERO EDITED AND UPDATED!). Naturally, when made aware of any information, details etc., it should be acted upon not hidden away, in the hope that what has been discovered will never come to light. This is not the pathway to be followed but one of a “whatever works” type of individual, instead of one genuinely seeking answers that can only be obtained from gaining wisdom and then acting on that, which was received for greater understanding.

The Implications and Outlook:

While the interim object and goal may be obtained in a more timely duration the larger and more meaningful implications of intercession on behalf of others may take years to be realized or as in my Mother’s case, thirty-five (35) years for the fuller implications of the wisdom and understanding sought in my case would be realized and though she passed (as documented in the post A TRIBUTE TO MY LATE MOTHER - EDITED) before the end result took place, her legacy in the form of her personal letters she wrote to me while pursuing my studies (objectives) lives on, and not one, or two or more spectacular disasters carried out in the sight of men can change or alter this development, because in spite of these attempts to “black out” my student journey, her legacy of encouragement and many intercessions lives on with me their intended recipient. This outcome should serve as a reminder and at the same time encourage any who ever sought intercessory prayer on behalf of another (a loved one), that on occasion the answers to our requests don’t come in a manner we would like and/or were planning/hoping for and in my Mother’s case not even in her “lifetime”. How such situations are handled in turn will demonstrate more about our own lives than we wanted to know and instead of being thankful for the response to a situation remanded to His care on countless occasions, we react with disgust and in some case “silent” but yet indignant “rage” because our expectations were not met in the way we had envisioned and disappointment set in. However, if the recipient of the wisdom being sought because of a Mother’s intercession is truly willing in the right condition to seek the wisdom and act on the information received, then and only then will the intercession be granted, because the intercessor’s pleadings alone will not bring about the requested intervention, as the intended recipient has to be desirous of what is being requested on their behalf. Once this fact is realized, those who responded with disgust, etc., when a intercession turned completely different than expected will realize to be in poor taste. If ever faced with such a scenario, this should help us to realize that its not about “ME” but more so the recipient who ultimately has to be in a willing “spirit” for acceptance of God’s intervention than the intercessor ultimately and if unable to accept this outcome then our original motives were not properly directed and/or aimed in the first place.

Conclusion:
 When intercessions are worked out in the life of an individual, this is an indication that the individual, not us (the intercessors) is of a more willing spirit (or attitude than the intercessor, even when such are unable to accept the outcome). Therefore, if ever left in a state of disbelief when an intercession worked out in a manner completely different than what had been imagined, and disgust has set in, it must be remembered that the individual at the center of the intercession is the subject of importance and not the intercessors, which is very difficult in our “me-centered” society, most of whom are of the opinion that everything should be centered around “me” (as highlighted in the post THE SELF-CENTEREDNESS OF TODAY’S “MEISM” -  A BYPRODUCT OF THE “SOCIETY”). Most of the difficulties encountered today are of our own making from, which help is sought but when the assistance reveals itself and completely different from what was expected, it must be remembered that most of the perplexing circumstances encountered will be realized to be minor issues compounded by our lack of acceptance of how the end path is directed because it wasn’t centered around “me”. If most on the other hand were to follow lives that were not “me” centered, the complications brought about would ALL vanish because, most difficulties manifest themselves from those without some desired objective (not theirs), devising, scheming, plotting and manipulating to gain or obtain something not theirs but wanted by doing very little, irrespective of whose lives are affected on the “whatever works” pathway because spectacular disasters or other events can always be relied on to cover-up all eventualities, maybe. In the final analysis, all things, individuals lives, events of historical significance can’t be trampled over, destroyed, and eventually covered-up, in all fairness as documented in the post “IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TARNISHINGS OF A FORMER TOP PROSECUTOR AND THE POWERFUL WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN - UPDATED? ”, because in this situation, ONE in his all-knowing ways may be interceding on behalf of the prayers of some individual to ensure that a complete “whitewash” of a heinous act doesn’t take place [as depicted in the Conclusion section of the post THE OUTSPOKEN PEN PAL, WHO BECAME A FRIEND (EDITED W/INSERTS UPDATED/AMENDED)!] and supplemented by the details contained in The Finale section of the post THE ONE WHO WAS OVERLOOKED, OR WAS IT - EDITED AND UPDATED. The fitting conclusion to this will the replacement associates degree in occupational studies (AOS) requested via my April 4, 2013 letter of request and included money order (shown below).

* Footnote:

In the matter of the successful pursuit of my educational objectives, these are the facts to remember:

1. MY EDUCATION WAS AT MY OWN INITIATION AND WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY THEN EMPLOYER, THE GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS IN ANY WAY.
2. THE ONLY ACTION THAT INITIALLY INVOLVED THE GOVERNMENT WAS INITIALLY REQUESTING STUDY LEAVE AND THEN IN REQUESTING PERMISSION THROUGH THE CENTRAL BANK TO TRANSMIT FUNDS ON A PERIODIC BASIS TO PAY FOR MY EDUCATION. BOTH OF THESE ACTIONS WERE RECOMMENDED AND INITIATED BY MY "DEAR" SISTER AS APPROPRIATE (SEE BULLET # 6 BELOW).
3. ALL THE FUNDS USED TO PAY FOR THE INITIAL PART OF MY EDUCATION WERE DERIVED FROM SAVING MY SALARY FROM MY THEN GOVERNMENT POSITION FOR THE PURSUIT OF THE INTENDED EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE.
4. AS A RESULT, THIS WAS INTENDED TO BE AN ENTIRELY PRIVATE MATTER IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT NEITHER HAD ANY INPUT THEN NOR SHOULD LIKEWISE HAVE ANY SUCH INPUT NOW, (TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER RECORDS OF ANY FORM TO EXPEDIENT TYPES "WITHOUT ORIGINS" WILLING TO PAY FOR SUCH RECORDS AFTER THE FACT).
5. FURTHERMORE, IF IT WERE NOT NOT THE FACT THAT I HAD BEEN PURSUING AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN THE HOME STUDY ELECTRONICS COURSE,  CARRIED OUT THEN (AS DEPICTED IN THE BELOW PHOTOS), THE US EMBASSY WOULD HAVE DENIED NY STUDENT VISA REQUEST AT THAT POINT, CLEARLY UNDERSCORING THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A PERSONAL MATTER.
6. CONSISTENT WITH THE  DETAILED HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF VITAL RECORDS SHOWN IN THE HERE ARE THE BACKGROUND ISSUES SECTION OF THE POST THE DECISION TO ALTER MY RETURN TO MY HOMELAND, AT THIS TIME - UPDATED, OF THOSE FAMILIAR WITH EVENTS AS THEY ACTUALLY OCCURRED AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, THE REQUEST TO TRANSFER FUNDS TO TCI AND THE APPROVAL FROM THE BARBADOS CENTRAL BANK (UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED AS # 639/78-27, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO BELOW), WAS CARRIED OUT IN MY FAMILY "FAMILIAR" NAME, FRANCIS, AS WOULD BE EXPECTED AND DID OCCURRED AS CONFIRMED IN MY COMMUNICATION WITH THE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS) FROM JANUARY 1979 AS SHOWN IN THE ABOVE PHOTO OF THE U.S. POSTAL RETURN RECEIPT REQUEST. THIS IS A HISTORICAL, WHICH IS CANNOT BE ALTERED, AS CORRECTLY POINTED OUT IN THE COSVRY POST ONE TOO MANY COINCIDENCES - THE FINALE UPDATED, EVEN THOUGH  DIFFERENT "NAMEFORMS" WERE USED IN THE COMPLETION OF MY STUDY LEAVE REQUEST OVER THE YEARS  BY THE VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE ASSIGNED TO CARRY OUT THE THIS REQUEST BECAUSE IT OCCURRED OVER SEVERAL YEARS AS DEPICTED IN THE IMPLICATIONS/OUTLOOK SECTION OF THE POST, THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSIONs (FCISs) REPORT IN ADDITION TO TIME ALSO VINDICATES A CRUSADER - UPDATED.      
7. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR SOMETIME, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF BARBADOS IS STILL OF THE FORM THAT DOES NOT INTRUDE IN THE AFFAIRS OF PRIVATE CITIZENS AND THE DECISIONS OF PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS (THAT MANY WERE AWARE OF, OF, WHICH A SAMPLING OF THE COMMUNICATION WITH SUCH IS SHOWN IN THE IMPLICATIONS AND POSSIBLE OUTLOOK SECTION OF THE POST THE CHANGES THAT FOILED THE "BLACKOUT" - EDITED AND AMENDED), SHOULD NOT BE USURPED BY EXPEDIENT POLITICAL TYPES IN THE FURTHERANCE OF PERSONAL AGENDAS TO THE DETRIMENT OF ITS UNIQUE CITIZENRY, EVEN WITH THE DEMISE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ALL IN AN UNTIMELY MANNER (OF, WHICH A PARTIAL LISTING IS SHOWN IN THE POST WHEN SACRIFICING IS IMPLEMENTED BY DECREE - UPDATED). I HOPE SUCH HAVE NOT TAKEN PLACE, EVEN THOUGH ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO THE CONTRARY. 
8. FINALLY, EVEN THOUGH MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED, THE STATUS OF ANY DEGREE EARNED AND AWARDED AS SHOWN IN THIS POST, FROM EITHER I INSTITUTION I ATTENDED SHOULD IN NO WAY BE AFFECTED BY ANY ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES CARRIED OUT BY EITHER TCI OR PRATT AS INSTITUTIONS FOR THEIR OWN LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY, (SUCH AS THE DOWN-GRADING OF THE FORMER PRE-EMINENT T-3 COURSE AND THE ELEVATING OF ANOTHER IN FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AT TCI COMBINED WITH THE COMPLETE CLOSURE OF THE ENGINEERING SCHOOL AT PRATT INSTITUTE); IF SUCH MEANT THAT THE PURSUIT OF SUCH COULD AND WOULD BE EXPLOITED BY OTHERS (SUCH AS THOSE OF THE "FREE LOADERS CAUSE") FOR IMPOSTORS TO NOW CLAIM THE EXACT SAME EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY IN THIS LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE, AS ME (AS DESCRIBED IN BULLETED LISTING # 5 IN THE OUTCOME SECTION OF THE POST A BADLY SCRIPTED DRAMA - UPDATED AND AMENDED), TO THE DETRIMENTAL OF ANY OF ITS FORMER STUDENT BODY; THIS WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF ITS EDUCATIONAL CHARTER, AS WELL OF THE FERPA RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO EARNED THEIR QUALIFICATIONS THE CORRECT WAY, THROUGH STUDY AND HARD WORK, (AS DOCUMENTED IN THE POST HOW TO VIOLATE FERPA AND STILL COMPLY WITH THE INTENT OF THE LAW - EDITED AND UPDATED), WHICH I HOPE IS NOT BEING CONDONED AT ANY LEVELS BY STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS (EVEN THOUGH THE REQUESTED REPLACEMENT DIPLOMA RECEIVED WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS AWARDED AT THE TIME OF GRADUATION, AND WITHOUT EXPLANATION, SUGGESTING THAT SOME TYPE OF IMPROPRIETY HAS TAKEN PLACE, TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE STUDENT BODY OF PRIOR YEARS - CIRCA 1980 TIME FRAME AND BEFORE).   

 

 

 



 

 

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOD’S LAW AND MAN’S - UPDATED & AMENDED 8/7/2014

A clarification is in order, which Law is being described, that of our Creator (or ONE) as oppose to man’s Law to get or obtain a true picture of the circumstances involved. If this is not established initially, confusion will ensue because it ultimately does come down to what we consider as priorities in our lives, those things that are wholesome, thoughtful, considerate, honorable etc. as oppose to “whatever works”. If the former things are chosen, then adjustment will have to be made in the priorities in our lives and based on our experiences, the sacrifices required would be the type of adjustments that will not be burdensome to those whose lives have been lived out in a certain manner. Therefore for me, having made critical voluntary adjustments when the pursuit of a non-scripted path to assist others where a clear need existed, which was not in the least bit about “me” (as documented in the post VOLUNTARY LIFE ALTERING DECISIONS BRING MEANING CHANGE); having made the discovery of the type that was of clearly significant in a most meaningful way, made the decision to alter my previous course all the more meaningful and less overwhelming because of my life’s choices, which no one can take away from me because these were clearly and unmistakably personally and ONLY experienced by me (regardless of how many “free loaders” with outstretched hands are claiming to be original). This discussion is about the two different types of law, please follow.

Here are the Background Details:
First of all it must be pointed out that God’s Law does not change and secondly man’s Law(s) is(are) always changing to address changing criteria, (that for some is an institution/way-of-life in Congress at the Federal level) and is the same at the State and local levels as appropriate. When made aware of an existing condition adjustments have to be made, not in the Law but in our lifestyles to bring us (His chosen) into “compliance”, regarding God’s Law. However, when it comes to man’s Laws enacted we have to also become compliant or face penalties, such as in the new “health care” TAX (Law) mandate that forces ALL to obtain health insurance whether it’s desired or not. Was this fair?, this is debatable, but compliance is required when it comes into affect in 2014 or face penalties, which I personally chose to opt out of for personal reasons, historically upon my decision to refuse all such benefits from my past “employer” that went to considerable lengths to even deny that I even worked at their facility and all the available Laws did not protect me (or for that matter, those acquaintances of mine who were aware of my accomplishments). This is man’s Laws that is why a distinction has to be made regarding, which laws are being discussed as the following discussion will show, man’s Laws:

1. don’t always cover those they were intended to protect (or are not always applied fairly), while on the contrary God’s Laws apply to all, (see the post ONE TOO MANY "COINCIDENCES" - THE FINALE UPDATED AND EDITED) for a discussion about the uneven manner in, which man’s Laws are implemented),
2. can be implemented retroactively (as the Health Care TAX Law clearly demonstrates and that is not considered dictatorial), how much more so should God’s LAW be complied with when made aware of it,
3. can change to meet changing conditions, if that were not the case there would be no need for Representatives to amend, pass and/or enact laws appropriately (on the other hand, God’s Laws do not change (whether or not we are aware of them),
4. on occasion can and do “grandfather” specific classes of individuals to exclude from compliance while targeting others as the case may be (with God’s Law there is no “grandfather” clause, we either meet the established criteria or we can choose not to follow, HE does not “force” us to comply and most do not),
5. do not always treat all persons ethically because Laws can be enacted to target certain minority classes of individuals who may choose a certain pathway for personal reasons but compliance with the Law in such an instance unethically targets the conscientious objector who is being unfairly classified and thrown in (or considered) along with those who do place burdens on these services offered, especially when the objection does not place a burden on any of the entities who provide specific services, which the TAX Law’s enactment was intended  to address just as the adult suffrage Laws adopted in the early history of the Country unfairly excluded females from voting and this was unethical, however, was it (man’s Law) considered dictatorial, no it was not, just misguided (just as for such a condition man’s Law wasn’t considered dictatorial how much less can adapting to meet a criteria that always existed be considered dictatorial for the individual who chose to comply when it was discovered,
6. can be enacted to restrict freedoms when it is considered that this is the most appropriate path to pursue for the society generally such as “warrantless wiretaps”; while on the other hand God’s Laws never restrict. He give us the choice and freedom to act as we desire and most carry out their lives in such a manner as to dishonor Him by the expedient decisions that are made, such as whether or not to expose the most vulnerable members of our society to very adult type activity at younger and younger ages [as documented in the post HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG? (EDITED)], even though there are Laws enacted by man to prevent us from carrying out such actions, but we decide, which Laws to follow and, which to ignore, often to our peril or the peril of those whose lives entrusted to our care, and
7. can be ignored when it’s considered “expedient” to do so by some in the “Halls of Power” that this is the most appropriate course of action and none are held accountable as the post IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TARNISHINGS OF A FORMER TOP PROSECUTOR AND THE POWERFUL WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN? (UPDATED), so graphically pointed out.

On the hand, when it comes to God’s Law all are held accountable for the choices we make, there are no exceptions. Just as all who so choose follow the path of disobedience to God’s Law, those who choose to comply though few in number are also making a choice and none can dictate how each other individual can and should live out their lives because even God does not “force” anyone to follow His Laws, which in reality are simple; namely practically demonstrating love for God and love for others, which are in turn are reflections of our decisions as the discussions on understanding so clearly pointed out [see the post WHAT REALLY IS UNDERSTANDING THE ADDENDUM - (UPDATED)?].    

The Outcome/Implications of These Competing Criteria:

Those who are made aware of various facts (received wisdom) are held responsible for deriving the applicable knowledge and acting on it appropriately only then can it be truly stated that "understanding" has taken place, because understanding always involves continuous action to implement. The reason quite often why we fail to understand the various events in our lives is due to our inability to carry out the guidance provided for our benefit. On the other hand most follow their own priorities and then expect to impose their will on others without seeking to understand if what we are requesting of others is what is in the best interests of them, because in our thinking, we conclude if its best for me it must also be what’s best for the other individual as well, because my cause is much more important than that of the other person. Where is consideration for the rights of others in such actions? In the end, none of us have the right to tell any other how or what path to pursue and furthermore, impede the ability of another from pursuing their priorities because they may conflict with what has been determined is in my best interest (for them). These are the types of tendencies that definitely do not reflect kindness and thoughtfulness in our lives and the possession of an "understanding" nature as the post referenced in the above paragraph outlines. More often than not, our tendency to “call out” others is usually an indication that there is something amidst in our lives personally and such actions are a way of smoothing over those issues we don’t want to deal with and furthermore, go to great lengths to point out in others what they are in need of doing, when we ourselves pay little regard for those issues we personally need to address, often because we lack the courage to make meaningful changes in our lives but find it easier to attempt to point out in others where they have “fallen short” in our estimation, when we have no right to do so. If our personal failings were easy to address, we most likely would have made the necessary changes to do so. On the other hand, by pointing out what we perceive as the “boulder” out of the eye of another, which is in reality a pebble “magnified”, satisfaction is derived from, knowing that we have shown another their failing as we perceive it.
Man’s Law is imperfect as the above outline demonstrated as oppose to God’s Law, which is not. Some who hear but don’t really understand have misled others into misconceptions about how burdensome the latter is, when in fact such is not the case, because anything that is perfect cannot be at the same time be overwhelming, such may ONLY appear to be the case because we are viewing the scenario through an imperfect prism, (namely our lives marred by sin). Those without "understanding" have made it appear as if the Law of God, which really is intended to help to define that, which brings proper balance in our lives between what best for us and what’s not have misled many who choose to be so misled, because we all have the ability to choose, even when others seemingly have made decisions that are not in our best interest, at some point we will be given a choice and how it is used will determine even if we were really taken advantage of, (as the case may be), and if given an alternative, would have chosen appropriately. Man’s Law is imperfect because it is not fairly applied, on occasion it targets unfairly as well as can place undeserving individuals in unethical situations as the case may be because it is enacted and implemented by imperfect individuals with limited knowledge of all the unintended consequences their action will bring about regardless of how noble their cause is.

The Conclusion:

By nature, we tend not to like restrictions placed in our lives but have no problem placing restrictions in the lives of others as demonstrated by those who scream and shout at the minutest offense but then in turn use "distress techniques" to target the property and lives of individuals who are in possession of something desired, whether or not deserving of it. There is a word for such actions it’s called selfishness and it is typically characterized by being thoughtless about the lives of others. By this measure if the Law of God was given the priority it truly deserved to “strike just that right balance between what’s best for us and what is not, there would be no such measures because those with resources “a plenty” would realize that I really do not need this much and then go out of their way to imperil others for the cause of wanting more, when they already have more than they could possibly use, instead meaningful assistance would be provided to help others or would stand down and allow others to acquire when in their ability to do so instead of stealing from those with little in order to further the expansion of the resources of those with plenty (see the post THE TIME FOR PAYMENT IS NOW, MR.BUFFETT (EDITED AND UPDATED W/INSTRUCTIONS/AMENDED). As it turns out that, which we resent the most, is typically what is best for us, but because our natures are so far from what or where they should be we resist the very measures that would help us most by for example striking the proper balance in our lives to bring the type of order, direction, and support needed to enable us to really understand what is important and what is not, which typically involves “heart surgery of the "understanding" and considerate kind” to help us realize and live out lives that are reflections of these characteristics, namely contentment, fulfillment, enjoyment, etc. It is only when such traits are a reflection of us as individuals that we can really "understand" what being thoughtful, and what kindness, fairness and hopefulness is all about, because man’s imperfect Law will never bring about the types of “intrinsic“ changes needed to obtain such for all they are worth and no matter how worthwhile the cause is, because that “proper balance” is missing, which is only available through one avenue, our Creator, who is th only ONE capable of bringing about such changes but sadly few find and then act on these to achieve the missing parts of our lives that are typically missing usefulness, purposeful, helpful and honorable existences, but instead are fixed on the tracks of “whatever works”, with no real goal in sight (beyond the next illegal and/or unethical activity needed to prop up one of their "two faces" types). Where is the balance in your life today, if at all? For without the proper balance that comes ONLY from God’s Law, it’s impossible to achieve anything wholesome, thoughtful and kind etc., in an often broken society, where such traits are lost amidst the clamor of the noisiest who are usually those with little meaning and purpose in their lives and sadly many follow them to their demise. 


IT MUST BE NOTED THAT WHILE THE SUBJECT OF UNDERSTANDING IS INDICATED AS INVOLVING A CONTINUOUS PROCESS, FOR A MORE IN-DEPTH EXAMINATION OF THIS SUBJECT, THE FOLLOW-UP POST WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE - INSTRUMENTS FOR LIFE, SHOULD BE STUDIED.
 

EXPEDIENT DECISION-MAKING, ALWAYS A MISTAKE (EDITED 4/17/2013 AND UPDATED 5/11 & 5/14/2013 as well as 1/21, 1/22, 2/15, 3/3 & 6/9/2014)! in addition to 9/1 & 10/2/2015

Introduction:
From my experiences, I have come to realize that taking the easy way is often filled with the types of problems and burdens, which are often classified as unintended consequences that are a result of decisions made either in haste or without regard for all the various ramifications involved in a given situation. Those seeking true direction will never find it on the pathway of expediency as this discussion on sound versus shallow decisions will reveal, please follow.

Here are the Details to Consider:
Last evening while going through overnight traveling an old bag in, which my Journal had been kept for many years, I discovered two pages that were lodged under a removable bottom and were in a crumpled state, stuck in this location unnoticed for sometime until last evening. After carefully unfolding and examining the pages with day/dates only but no years, after taking time to confirm the indicated dates; it has been found that without a doubt, they represent the years 1981 and 1984. This could only be possible in an environment where time was taken to record events as they actually occurred, not as I hoped they would have worked while engaged in some other useless and skill less activity and now hoping to achieve much without actually having undertaken the actual activities to obtain the desired outcome and after-the-fact attempting to do so on the “backs” of others as documented in the posts HOW THE RECORDING OF MY JOURNEY SAVED THE DAY as well as THE CHANGES THAT FOILED THE “BLACKOUT” .  Here are of the entries in summary form:

From September 29, 1981

• I dropped off film to be developed at the photo store on my way to school especially for my Mother’s birth date, which was upcoming on October 13th.
• Today was a late day for me as classes ended around 9:00 pm and I didn’t arrive home (43 Sycamore Ave, Hempstead, N.Y.) until 10:30 pm.

September 30^th

• My early class was canceled due to the Jewish holiday but I arrived later after purchasing cards including one for Althea Ward (whose apartment @ E. 9^th Street in Brooklyn, N.Y. was my first residence in the U.S).
• This was another late day for classes and I didn’t return home until around 10:45 pm.

October 1^st

• I had one class and the second was canceled so I returned home after first stopping at Hempstead library to obtain a film for my youth outreach activities.

October 2^nd

• I installed a phone in Mrs. Rawlins’ Laundry Room.
• Celia called later about visiting for the weekend.
• Mrs. Rawlins’ elderly father who could no longer live on his own was also living at her residence at this time as she took care of him (who was in his late eighties or early nineties). Mr. Livingston, I believe was from Guyana (and like Rep. Chisholm, Mrs. Rawlins’ mother was from Barbados, so they had that in common). He had emigrated to the U.S. many years earlier and met and married her (Mrs. Rawlins’ mother in this Country). As a result, I also got to pass the time with him and spent some time in conversation with him as well.
• I called Althea to remember her birth date.

October 3^rd

• I Spoke to Celia by phone (probably about her planned week-end visit).
• I conducted my youth outreach activities and later discussed some of the day’s highlights with Mrs. Rawlins on her return from work (as a nurse in an area hospital).

October 4^th

• Celia came by as planned (at Mrs. Rawlins’) shortly after breakfast and remained for most of the day and did not leave until around 6:00 pm. After seeing her safely on the train I returned home at, which time I noticed a suspicious looking “shadowy” individual lurking around Mrs. Rawlins’ residence and I began my studies while remaining vigilant until Mrs. Rawlins’ returned from work and by this time the individual had left.

From January 5^th 1984

• I returned from work (at CE where I was a contract Engineer) around 5:05 pm. And after dinner, spent time with Dejon who was “all wide-eyed and letting of a shrill of laughter, which was noticeable since he had never done anything of this magnitude before”.
• Tax return preparation was started and later I fed Dejon before preparing my lunch/breakfast for the following day (to ensure that in the midst of my busy schedule, allocation of time was being set side for my daily journal recording, which was carried early in the morning, prior to leaving for work).

January 6^th

• I attended a major staff meeting at work (at CE), since being invited was very unusual by my Supervisor; Ken Rohde as a contract employee. However, he included me because the future direction of the Department was being discussed and he wanted me to be included in the discussions. On returning to the office it was around 3:45 pm and I left for the day and on my arrival home it was just around sunset.

January 7^th

• I attended worship and later conducted my youth outreach activities, during, which time a great deal of input was obtained from them (the youth) about their likes and dislikes to aid significantly in my activities planning.
• I finally took the Xmas tree down.

January 8^th

• Dejon was now getting back on schedule to sleeping through the night for the 1st time since the Xmas holiday taken to visit my late Mother, Sister June, my late Uncle Chris, Aubrie/Pat & family (as well as others too numerous to mention while visiting) in Barbados and others to introduce them to Dejon, which had disrupted his sleeping habits considerably.  
• I fed Dejon and later contacted other individuals carrying out similar youth outreach activities as I was for coordination purposes.
• My Sister June called to obtain details about a misplaced letter so we spoke at length before calling it a night.

The Finale/Outcome:
The input included in the above summaries, documents the type of involvement I took in whatever undertaking I became involved with, whether seeing a friend safely on the train or spending the type of quality time with my young son to document and record details about his first development such as his first shrill laughter occurrence as well as taking the time to coordinate youth outreach activities with others for better coordination and planning for their cause. These developments show that expedient decision-making was not the direction I chose to follow as an individual.

Suppose instead of being the type to opt for sound decisions and instead had been unconcerned to the extent to have allowed my friend Celia to return home without concern for her safety completely unaware of the danger potentially lurking outside and she had been somehow become a victim of some action, this would have been a devastating development for me because it would always would have been viewed from the perspective, had I shown a little more concern, maybe the action would have been avoided.
Furthermore, had I not taken the time to involve myself in my young son’s development, but instead chose to subject him callously to a life of shameful, unpleasant, thoughtless activity, without concern for what or how he would be impacted, what would I have today to look back at except the potential problematic, complicated lifestyle I had subjected him to by choosing what was expedient over what was in his best interest. He was not subjected to a life, which would end up being “whatever works” in a foreign land for the cause of those who prey on the very, very young as a means of fulfillment, because more often than not, such individuals were themselves subjected to similar types of abuses in their young lives.
Just as I did not resort to expedient decision-making with regards others, neither did I do so in my own personal affairs, as my decision not to pursue citizenship in the Country of my residency demonstrated. The seriousness and overall implications of such a course of action led me not to treat such a serious matter with expediency as I did not then (when the matter was examined in 1991), know how to disavow all connection to my Country of birth and citizenship (regardless of how others treated me) and this decision is being re-examined in the light of all that has been realized, in all sincerity as documented on the Pages of this Blog for further action at the appropriate time. 
Having now realized the long-range planning that these "free loader" and "free loader-related" types and their well-connected supporters go too, to implement their objectives [as documented on the Pages of this Blog in post s such as THE ORIGINS OF "VIRTUAL" "TWO-FACED" IDENTITIES - UPDATED as well as in paragraph two (2) of the Here are the Background Details section of the post ISN'T TIME FOR A DIFFERENT FACE (EDITED)?] as realized about my former school classmate, Carl - now realized to be a "free-loader-related" "plant", (and really wondering if he really is from Jamaica as he claimed or in reality ENGLAND with a phony Jamaican accent) as those many so called Jamaican "stars" are really from and are just planted in Jamaica, the former "empire" favorite “dumping ground” for the placement of so called Jamaican “stars” to be used in the furtherance of their “free loaders cause”, while intentionally deceiving all about their real origins, to avoid detection especially since the Jamaican “accent” is so easy to mimic with little training (as is that of most Americans), the favorite locale for all those of the “free loaders cause” if possible, because of its income generating potential. I have often wondered especially of late, why my shy young friend Celia was never targeted by those "shadowy" types who were keeping track of my activities in the Land of my long-time residency,  [as documented in the discussion included with the photo of the etching on my camera included in the post THE CHANGES THAT FOILED THE BLACKOUT (UPDATED) in addition to the event associated with the entry for October 4, 1981 on this post], as all others were, which I do know now.
These developments would eventuality would make, Mrs. Rawlins's sudden appearance through her son's questioning and searching for his "roots" in Barbados, making contact with my dear Sister and ultimately me, simultaneously at the same time my school journey started highly questionable as well. Probably a "free loader-related" or more likely a "free loader sympathizer" type and showing how powerful, thoroughly entrenched, destructive and sinister this organization really is.       

The Conclusion:
Once headed down the path of expediency there is usually no turning back, because such decisions were based on doing what was popular (or what the polls dictated), as opposed to what’s considerate and in the best interest of those young lives entrusted to our care as well as others who we encounter along the way. When started on the path of expedient decision-making, what we should come to expect are unintended consequences of a magnitude that is often not easily addressed. As a result, instead of choosing a different path to remove ourselves from the perils of such circumstances we tend to “dig in”, creating bigger and bigger issues of such a complicated nature from, which escape is very unlikely, simply because sound decisions are not popular. As a matter of course, such are very difficult to implement because once set in a face-saving mode, there is usually not much alternative (in the opinion of those caught in such predicaments, even when viable solutions are made available, because doing what's in the best interest of those involved is sacrificed for doing what's expedient, which in turn is allowed to direct their decisions) and rather than opt for the pathway that leads to "higher ground" in their "fork in the road" situation (see the post WHAT IS YOUR FORK IN THE ROAD SITUATION TODAY?) the choice is made to proceed, never finding escape from the predicament in, which we are caught.
No individual has the right to play “god” in the life of any other, such as to determine what outcome another individual should be subjected to, as all should be allowed to determine their own path not what’s best for others to dictate in the lives of those who have been targeted as being nothing more than expendable “collateral damage” for the perpetual wealth-generating cause of a few. Even those with the best of intentions can’t take it upon themselves to attempt to manipulate the lives of another because such actions don’t involve treating others with thoughtful consideration and ultimately fairness. In the end, we would all prefer to be treated fairly, not expediently and such can ONLY take place when sound decisions are made instead of being considered as a lifeless ”pawn” to be moved around a board without respect for how such individuals lives may be impacted or whose lives are in turn effected as an outcome of some other thoughtless action implemented in the lives of individuals, and then we find ourselves faced with an ever expanding scope of actions because what we never considered came back to haunt us, (as we can never tell all the various intricacies involved in the lives of an individual furthermore entire families of individuals), often leading to calamitous circumstances as documented in the post "IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TARNISHINGS OF A FORMER TOP PROSECUTOR AND THE POWERFUL WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN?" in addition to THOSE WHO WOULD BE "god" - EDITED AND UPDATED as well as the "HOLDING BASE" DEDICATION (To Notable Individuals) that have all been added to the partial listing in the post WHEN SACRIFICING IS IMPLEMENTED BY DECREE - UPDATED.
