The Most Powerful and Addictive Drug Ever.

 

By Stanley Thomas

What is the most powerful addiction ever known to man? I am talking about an addiction hundreds of times more powerful than cocaine or LSD or heroin, any other drug that you can think of. This drug is even more powerful than meth. This drug has been around for centuries but in the recent century this addiction has gained even more of a foothold on man. Any kind of drug abuse is a serious problem and this is a serious drug.

 This same drug is not only wreaking havoc on families but on whole entire nations. In this modern-day society whenever we have a drug that reeks havoc on society instead of getting rid of the drug we just sweep the issue under the rug and deal with it later. I am certain that nearly everyone has heard of the opioid crisis. This drug is in the same category as heroin. Opioids even though they relieve pain are highly addictive.

 The withdrawal symptoms from opioids are hell though. People describe the pain of withdrawals from opioids is being worse than the pain in which they had before they got on opioids. A matter of fact whenever people run out of opium they turn to the streets and get heroin because they can get the heroin cheaper. But this particular drug I'm talking about is not opioids, opium, or heroin. Everyone is addicted to this drug .

Okay maybe not quite everyone on the planet has an addiction problem with this particular drug. A large percentage of the population of planet Earth is however addicted to this drug. This drug is responsible for most of your catastrophes that happened in the world, in the past 200 years. You could go back even further than that and find the devastating effects of this menacing drug. So what addictive drug am I referring to, I am referring to money, money itself.

 Like any drug is a matter of how much is being used. Cocaine never had to be a dangerous Drug. The substance and cocaine is really cocoa from the coca leaf. It’s just that the cocaine from the coca leaf has been extracted and concentrated and used in such a way as to have a detrimental effect on people. Money at first wasn't designed to be so toxic as it is today.

 It was designed to be used as just a way to replace bartering and exchanging goods. But now instead of having money which is supposed to be backed by gold, the money isn't backed by anything. So it's become very toxic and very addictive. The reason why it is very addictive is because people have to work for money. And the people have to work for monies and so they can live and to buy food and shelter for themselves and the ones that they support.

 People are addicted to money because if you take away the ability to earn and make money then they sink into poverty and homelessness. To remove the drug from the person that’s addictive, it brings such a devastating effect on the victim. The withdrawal symptoms are so hard to bear. So in order to make the world a much more safer and better place, something will have to be done about the most powerful drug ever known to man, and that is money.


The mind is to rule over the heart.

There is a verse in the Bible that says that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. The heart is not always that way. There are times when the heart can do good things. But often people do bad things because of their heart. They are controlled by their heart.

They rush off and do things because of what's in their heart. At that point they need a mind that can rule over the heart and control the heart. The mind can look at things from a more rational point of view where is the heart tends to deal more with feelings. In one such way by fighting away to control the heart is anytime you have a crisis situation and you are pushed to take some kind of action you just stop and let your mind take over. That your mind tell your heart to calm down, and let's think.

We are not going to take any action at this moment. We are going to think about what we need to do going forward. If there were a more perfect union between the heart and the mind, the mind would be more educated and knowledgeable on how to react in situations. And the mind will communicate that fact to the heart so the heart will understand where the mind is coming from so the heart would understand how to react in certain situations. There is a certain time when you have to act quickly and swiftly without hesitation.

But other times you have to stop and you have to wait and you have to think. The only way you can think is with your mind. The heart doesn't think. It just acts. Being that the heart and the mind are too different components they are both are physical in the fact that the mind sits inside of the brain.

 The brain is the physical and the mind is the intangible. The heart is physical but the heart is also intangible. There isn’t another name for the intangible part of the heart. There's only the heart. So often it is hard for people to distinguish between the heart physical and the heart the intangible.

But you often hear phrases like the heart pumping blood through your body. And you often hear about that person's actions come from their heart. So both the heart and the brain are both physical and they have tangible features to them. And they're two different organs that serve two different purposes. The heart pumps blood throughout the whole entire body.

The brain sends commands throughout the whole entire body. The heart acts and have to keep acting. The heart has to keep pumping blood throughout the whole entire body. The brain constantly sends messages throughout the whole body. The brain tells different parts of your body what to do and when to do it.

 The brain works through the nervous system. That's how the brain sends its messages throughout the body. The heart uses blood vessels to pump blood throughout the body. But yet the brain and the heart has another component to it. The brain has the mind in which the mind is intangible.

 The heart has the intangible part of the heart which is also called the heart as well. Most of our actions and things that we do comes from the heart. Things that we practice over and over again comes from the heart. Once we did these things consciously, but as we get used to doing them, then we just do them unconsciously without thinking about the task. Actions starts from the mind and work their way into the heart the intangible part of the heart that is.

So when we do things that perhaps we didn’t want to do or make bad decisions or we react in ways that we shouldn't react we have to go back to our minds or back to the brains and analyze what type of thoughts that we have. What have we been learning and what has been going into your mind all of the time because whatever goes into the mind the heart is going to pick up on it and it's going to act on it. So the mind has to have total control over the whole entire body and including control over the heart. The heart cannot be the best it can be without the mind. the heart has powers that the mind doesn't have.

The heart can do things that the mind cannot do. But the heart cannot do those things without the influence of the mind. The mind has to be the gatekeeper to show the heart where it needs to go. Therefore your heart needs to be ruled by your mind. So study what goes into your mind.

Concentrate on what's in your mind and make a conscious effort to put the goodness that's in your mind into your heart as to make your heart function better.

How to remember anything without writing it down.

 By Stanley Thomas 

stanleydeanthomas.blogspot.com

I’m going to tell you how you can remember anything without writing it down. These are some simple memory technics you can use to remember the things you might forget. You can make notes of the things you want to remember without writing them down. You can do this with most things. You can do this when you don’t have time to grab a pen and paper or when a pen and paper is unavailable.

What you can do is put an object in a certain place to remind you at a certain time to do something. For an example if you have an old car that you need to check the oil in frequently. You can put an empty oil bottle on the front seat or on the passenger side floor to remind you to check the oil. Even if you don’t check the oil at the moment, seeing the empty bottle in the car will be a constant reminder to check the oil in your car. You will actually remember to do the task later. You can even use notes with this technic.

 You can make notes to do certain things at a specific time. You can place the note at a location where you will be at that time. Another example is when you need to go to the store and pick up something like a loaf of bread. You can use an empty bread bag laying in a place where you will see it, urging you to get some bread. Another technique is to make up a totally unrealistic story about the things you need to remember.

 For an example let us say that you need to get a list of items from the store. The list as follows: bread, milk, sugar, cookies, cabbage, bologna, and slice cheese. You will make up a story using the items on your list. The items will become characters and objects in your story. Here is an example story.

A big giant piece of bread was walking down the street that you live on. This piece of bread was so massive that as people approached the slice, they crossed the street to the other side. Suddenly a rush of milk appeared out of nowhere. It was as a tittle Wave. The slice of bread stopped to look back at the roaring sound.

 The slice saw the huge wave of milk with by now was a tsunami. The slice tried to run but got washed up by the massive milk tsunami. The milk crashed into a big mountain made of sugar. The sugar mountain rocked back and forth violently and suddenly an eruption from a sugar volcano occurred. Hot cookies spewed from the sugar volcano and the hot cookies filled the air and landed on a town of cabbage.

The heads of cabbage were pounded by the hot cookies and the cabbage sprang open, all at one time and out of the cabbage jumped a multitude of bologna meat. The bologna running to safety jumped on their slices of cheese and the slice of cheese flew them into the air dodging the hot cookies and crashed into the milk. By now you have memorized the whole list. By taking your list and turning it into a crazy and bizzar story you are able to remember the items on the list. In this day and age we all have so many things to do.

It is important to note how we remember some things and forget others. We tend to remember those things that grab our attention the most and forget those things that don’t. By making the more mundane task more interesting we are able to remember more.


Go ahead, spend the money. Spend money to attract more.

 By Stanley Dean Thomas.

Well I have been going through some interesting times. I have been doing some affirmations for wealth and prosperity morning and night. I’ve has some interesting results to say the least. Never the less, the affirmations worked. I have attracted what I wanted, some extra money.

But now I am facing another dilemma. The wife wants to make a large purchase. This purchase is for some repairs. I’m not going to say the repairs were much needed because go on living without the repairs as we have been doing. However having the repairs done would definitely improve the value of the house.

My concern was spending a large portion of the savings we have acquired. Then I thought about the affirmations I was telling myself. Affirmations such as the following: Money comes to me easily and effortlessly. There is plenty of money all around. I also had a Bible scripture come to mind. It was: God shall supply all of my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

 It was something like that I think. Then I thought, I’m going to trust that we can spend this much on this project because there is an infinite supply of money in the world. This is what I believe now instead of thinking lack and limitation. And so I thought, why not go ahead and do the deal. We are adding value to the house by making this purchase.

So when this purchase is made and the project is completed, the value of the house will increase, plus we would save money on energy cost.

The moral of this story is, don’t be afraid to spend or invest your abundance when you get it. If you are praying for supply and believing on God for your supply then go ahead and use your supply. If you ask, pray, or meditate for more money, make sure that you put the money to good use. It’s best to put the money to work, getting what you need and what is necessary. You can even spend on some things that you want.

Don’t tell yourself that you don’t have enough money therefore you can’t make the purchase. Instead, look to attract more money to get the things you need and want. If the repair cost are more than you have attracted then believe that you can attract more funds to meet your needs. A way will be made for you to make that purchase. So remember to believe in abundance and believe in plenty.

Whenever something comes up believe that you will have the money for it. Remove all doubts from your thinking. Always remember what you believe in and go ahead and do the deal.

Always strive to be better.

 __________________________________________________

The Japanese have a well-known principle which is called kaizen. What this means is constant and never-ending improvement. This is a principle which is used in the Japanese workplace. What they strive to do is to always look for ways in which they can improve on their productivity. This is something that we all should adapt in our lives. 

There is a real need to strive to be better in life at everything we do. You don't want to be mediocre because if you are, you will have a hard time. You always should strive to be the best at whatever it is you do. The best people insist on getting the best treatment in life. If you think that life should be fair or that many of The virtuous people believe that all men are created equal then you have another thing coming. Many philosophers and thinkers from the past did not believe that all men were created equal.


Many people don't realize that the forefathers of this country did not believe that all men were created equal. They often felt that some people were just better than others. They believed that some people were just not good for anything. There were names for such folks designed to categorize them as being lower class citizens.

Many of these so-called philosophers were also political leaders. And they also decided the Fate of many people. They also love to practice eugenics in which it is believed that some people are genetically Superior to others and that the superior people must breed. The study of eugenics also includes eliminating those who have weaker genes according to the belief. Now you can believe that success is in the genes if you want to but when you talking about millions of people of potentially billions of people there’s no way that success can be only in the genes. Yes you have those people in power who are just waiting to get rid of anyone who they suspect of being totally useless. 


This is going on all over the world and in all walks of life. If you don’t do more to prepare yourself for the harshness of life and do all you can to better yourself to improve, then there is someone who is waiting to eliminate you. You cannot afford to not do all you can to improve yourself and to be the best that you could possibly be. You must do all you can to stay informed as to what’s going on in the world . You must do all you can to study more to learn more into working and improve on your personal skills.


 The last thing that you should wish for is to be on the losing end of the stick. You always must be increasing in health wealth and ability. If you are not increasing you are decreasing. You always must be getting better and better. If you can't improve one way you must improve another way. 

You always must be increasing your income because inflation is steadily on the increase. If your income is not increasing then you might as well say that it is in decreasing. Because inflation is increasing and it is eating away at your money. Taxes are increasing because tax rates go up. So it is important to be on the increase in income. 

Whatever you are doing at life you need to figure out how to do it better and better. You must always be improving yourself one way or another. Health wise you must improve your routines, your health routines. As you know the older you get the more your health is on the decrease. But if you increase your habits, developing better habits you can prolong a better life. 

So increasing oneself in life in all areas is very important. It is nothing wrong about increasing or wanting to increase. You must never look at it as you are being too greedy or selfish to want to increase or get better at something. Just like with money, you should never see wanting more money as being greedy. Inflation goes up every year and the value of the dollar goes down every year. 

The cost of living goes up every year. it comes a point where you need more money for different things. Your life is going to change, you're going to change, your circumstances are going to change. People in your life, the ones you love dearly are going to change. You're going to need more money to deal with all of these things. 

You also have to factor in your own personal retirement. The older you get the more you're going to need to have in savings. If you increase your income then that is more money that you can put back for savings and for the day in which you're going to stop working. Hopefully you will continue to work well until you're eighties and decide to never retire. Hopefully you will be getting better and better with age instead of retiring at 65. 

Keep yourself busy and occupied always increasing your abilities and the skills. You can quit working at a job when you're 65 but you should keep doing something. Find something else that you can do to keep your mind and your body and your spirit occupied. Keep your mind body and spirit working and keep them into shape. Stay healthy and keep active in life, always increasing. The more you increase the better of your life can be.


A substance that is more valuable than gold.

 By Stanley Dean Thomas.

stanleydeanthomas.blogspot.com

A long time ago is a story of a Young Man who had to leave his father and go out in the world and prove that he was wise or could be wise in handling money. His father did not wish for his son to stay with him in order to inherit his estate. His father instead rather for his son to go out into the world and to do business, to learn how to be wise and grow as a person. The father also wanted his son to be wise and respected among men. Well the young man did just that he went out into the world to make his own way and he came back to his father and presented himself to his father, to tell his father what all has happened to him. 

He had to prove to his father that he is worthy of handling his father’s vast estate. In which he did handle his father's estate because he has proved himself. His father gave him before he left a bag of gold and a clay tablet with wisdom on it. And so when the boy came back to his father he told his father the story of what he went through. He said he had wasted the gold. 

That was the first thing he has done. He said the gold has fleed from him just as a rabbit flees from a young boy. Well to make a long story short the young man has gotten his gold back. It was different from the gold he received from his father since he had blown all the gold he got from his father. But he learned how to make gold work and how to make it multiplier so he earned all his gold back. 

So when he presented himself to his father he returned two bags of gold instead of just one. He wanted to demonstrate to his father how much more valuable the wisdom was to him than the bag of gold. In other words what the young man was saying is that it was the clay tablet with the wisdom on it was more valuable than any amount of gold. So in life today, it’s the wisdom that is more valuable than gold or money. You here on the news that the stock market is up or down. 

You hear about the price of gold on the metal market reports. You hear how the price of gold is up or down. We're just so brainwashed to think that gold, other precious metals, real estate, and money have such a high value to them. The only problem was material possessions such as gold is how can you measure with gold the value of wisdom. Since wisdom is used to acquire all things it’s the wisdom that has the greater value as an asset. 

There are actually other metals that have a higher monetary value than gold. It’s not that these other metals will be preferred over gold. Gold has always sustained itself over time because of its durable features. But it’s wisdom that has been around much longer than gold has. So if you want to collect something precious, something that can endure the test of time, choose to collect wisdom rather than mere precious metals. You could actually gain more wealth and survive much longer.
