    Philosophic reconsideration's and development in the progress of self improvement.

        We live, we change, we change over time.. a form of personal change for everyone in a free world is mostly possible, if you work at it.
The question of how free your world is... is the current world we live in - nothing is certain - help make it one you feel good in. takes a lot of work and faith in yourself.
There is a struggle right now over you... a political control war is raging in the background - do you see it?   
If you do... that is the first step to controlling its influence to shape you...  Its no longer easy - perhaps it never was - ignorance is your enemy... langudge is your only tools, as that is how the mind works.

Only a functional mind with a good stable vocabulary has much chance in a world going mad with everything, but the truth, as a background that we live in today.

Here it gets difficult... your faith in your ability to understand is perhaps your only faithful tool.  The human race as a whole is in trouble.

I do not have all the answers - I think I see the questions to ask - and work with the only tool set I have - language itself... its stability... is set by scale and understanding (The number of understood words and definitions well set in stone to use to think with... and the Faith I can do it, for the only human I can control in all ways... myself - faith.  I am not mad is a part relitive to how others see you - faith in my spritual essence is defined as a goal to just be better than I was... >subjective yes< but in fact humans do see what Evil is once they can see... It is a part of the conmdition of being human... and is defined as that which hurts others, and the worst is planed - its a myth we don't... and there it is, the face of the war...
    Many people in the world now have been educated to believe they are nothing and being a subject to Powers other than themselves becomes the dependency to not think at all.
Becomes the reality of the world.   That is Nonsense if you think   You are the only one you have a right to control - do so and see more of the truth of it.
    This is why socialism is a disease of the spirit - self loss for the collective is ultimently the loss of humanity from itself.  handing the power to be a human being to a power that wants to control you... for that evil, of the type of contol, sold as a good thing... is pure corruption of the spirit to be human. 
    To see that humans are inherently special in the power to seeing it, is the correct path. Be an individual that thinks - it is a possabilty if one is willing to see it... It is not selfish to want to understand the world.
   
    Not to be cynical but Life is what happens while you are distracted from focus if unaware or making other plans, if you are not actively working towards directing your life.
 This the reality of being alive - the world is as it is.
    Is this the final say of being who you are - No.
  Being aware though is what your mind can be if you work at it  - is... Existence is the unpredictable nature of reality externally, where the game of foreseeability is as well, your personal challenge as possibilities of life's existence within, thus your existence can be somewhat what you make of it.

        Your actions do make a difference to yourself in all ways and to the world in unknowable ways long term.
    Your immediate actions make immediate change as those actions affect the world about your presence - you are real.    
    Your footsteps displace the sand on the beach... to what effect is the question at large - judgement is relative to others, who understands or notices.
 
   
Change happens, as life happens to be existence within yourself absolutely... and to the real world as the external continuum, is the reality perceived by others, as well very real...becomes reality of a world.
... but not set in stone as you can modify your existence for better, or worse, if you just let life happen... luck?... don't gamble, its only your life, make it count as tommarrow others will judge you in their world to become from the one you left. 
    be self directed?, you have that within you, to become more than you were... you are a human being... 

  However... in the world we live in... here, now, today...  What if one works at change with a different goal in mind. It can be thought of as just learning, then living in a better way, of being more aware. Then taking action.
    Which in turn makes one into a different person.  I wish to compound that internally.  Not forcing so much but as just directed change..  change for the better - growth towards a goal.

Whether or not it is a positive change - yes, that is subjective - but the complexity is in the analysis of a judgement within yourself that can be understood...with unambiguous language, even if extremely complex. I have tens of thousands of words in my mind, defined to take shape as thoughts towards clarity. Even ambiguous is a word... to define the uncertainty of meaning, clearly said.

My other pages here cover English - The Language we use here - now in attack within the universities of the present - I rail to the cosmos as these "universities" of political correctness have the effect of trying to destroy the ability to have coherent thought. It is my contention of the present; to see a plan within that, which is a topic of other pages... but not now, or here. this is suppose to be a place of decent concepts.   

...If your choices are based in the actuality of our collective past as understood and a proactive, predictive approach is within yourself to make by both education to see... and understanding of perception to take action within yourself...

    ...Change can be found, sometimes just as a thought.  It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun... this is incorrect - if willing to see, open-minded to the possibilities of change, for a better you.
    Is there a lot of evidence to back that up... both ways (if blind to change, one way... and if aware, to note as well - The exceptions... are there for a observation that all of life is not static, it is always changing, whether biologic or as human thought... collectively seen as the world as it is, always is change in actions perceived as the future of possibilities unfolds around us.
Make a small difference in the sand of time - be yourself in a better world that sees everybody as having some force in some way ether as a positive force or a negitive one.
    Good and Evil there never is one without the other... its important to see a choice... its important to see that as the reality of the world...

    I want to be a good human being as flawed as I will always be.. I will always be trying as that is the general bias within myself - by design... not accident, it takes work and thought.

a line here denoting page change.
  Like Marcus Aurelius, I feel as though I want to thank those who helped me, to be me. Their support is found not by force, to make me change... However, If I watch and listening to how they feel about existence, what they believe... and why. People teach by doing. It is up to you to see it. 

    ... In this world of distrust or even hate and all to much human cruelty towards others...which is a part of human nature... I became rather disgusted with than in others and never wanted that, gone as can be, inside myself....
    I do not walk that path of propagating hatred or mistrust - I want inside of myself, something better to live within, and projected outwards to the world as who I am. Really as I am.

I want to be truthful and on the sleeve, and accepting of others, different from myself, to essentially become someone I would not be ashamed to see in the mirror.
Just being open though, is in the reality of the world as it is, not collectively in the whole in existence... wise.

Not having a social media addiction... is one way of modulating who knows I am even alive - That is one way of modulating the risk of the "Mob" finding one to try and destroy.
knowledge of the page is one filter... And what is the risk I speak of - Of being a human being with a self directed path of thought and of being... independent of the world - Of being different.

    That today is all to rare in the culture today of Wokeness

Speaking of love - not hatred - is a risk unto itself... fact is, sadly, fear of anything not politically identifiable as one side of something defined in the media of popularity (the mob) is a risk in the world today 2022.

    I am unashamed to say I have an internal set of truths I believe in. It is, as it is... and... as well sometimes necessary to hold a spear towards the world in order to speak my truth.
It is a good truth
Open your Eyes and see its there for everybody still of a mind that can see.

  special note line
... {Big Note: I am an American and "The Bill of Rights" is the law above the Laws - I have a God Given Right to say as my heart believes. And it will stand the test of time.
Why even mention this?... because this is the world as it is. liberty is not free - freedom to be, is not free - it is a struggle in a world being under actual attack today, here , now. }

So as I dedicate this page to some wonderful people... up front I would like to state that if I am a decent person... who thinks.
    A lot of that is because I am surrounded by decent people...  I want a better way of living... it costs nothing in ones pocketbook to be a better human.
But it can make ones heart beat more freely... just trying.  Will you not walk this road with me.. or choose a similar path... as there is no one way only directions to walk a better road within oneself.

    In this universe there really is only one of each of us... but each is tied to the whole as no one is an island.
Societies of similarity within, of course, however changing oneself can take leaps as each of us is actually different as well.

Yes, intellect does make a difference... how much is not very well understood as a prediction of each humans outcome is not written in stone. You can change, if you want.

Some Dedications
    Michael Crock wrote this pageŠ2012~2022 ~ why no "Facebook, Twitter or some other social network floating in a cloud"?...  The commercial interests involved and government stake holders own all you produce, if you publish on those sites.
    And I have what it takes to make this page here. This is not a blog yet it is similar, its conceptual evolution, philosophical in nature, I don't know how much is new but I wrote it.
  It will change over time as I change, my thinking changes, hopefully in growth.  Friends are always welcome to e-mail me, (or visit with me, sooner - is always welcomed) - having a different opinion than mine is also expected, I can use input.  It does affect how I see and grow and then I share here... none of us are clones, if we are human, then be a human.

    In point of fact I run many ideas past these living people reference anomalously and get feed back as to whether the ideas are really valid in concept, if they wish to express their input, I listen.
  Not that they would necessarily agree with, or necessarily disagree with their ideas, as It is my personal growth... just that they are not so whacky... in the sum of all ideas applied by me to try and become a more balanced person.. these people are a diverse group - As a balance to what I am doing.. they may well see a different world than I - and I am running ideas of concepts by them specifically..  sometime collectively or sometimes as individuals... 
 A cross check from very sane super intelligent people in my opinion.  These are friends, people I admire, respect and love.
   
    A good friend I knew died just a few years ago in his paradise of Hawaii... I did not know, until recently, he had died... I was looking for him.  Willy Tonquet 1954-2011, Hardly a perfect person, nobody is really....  His journey was short and intense. He once said I was like Siddhartha at the river... He was being kind and always challenging me to be more than I was.
     He was a lot smarter and philosophical than many gave him credit for... sometimes one needs to actually look at people... I will miss him as often he was intellectually aware, well beyond his years.
 

    From the long past, she is in my heart forever - Regina L. Rogers  - She was my mentor, friend, instructor of life, and much of her aspects of the female mind, in so many ways shaped my mind to look at life, not as what was, but what could be - a moment in time,  Life cut short 1968 from one of the most pointless of deaths - an automobile accident. My loss on the inside of my heart was immeasurable, as the stress was unendurable in the loss of her for some years. Admission, serious depression... very.
 Reggie
I honor her deeply forever. 

    To Judy S. -  Powerful in spirit. Beautiful, the same in her heart - For me to say she was an Angel, the understatement of the millennial times - taught me so much of the future...
 I could not go and she could not stay... but love can go on forever, independent of distance. 
Judy, her existence - a mystery
  she pulled serious depression traits out of me and made them go away forever.
 - I want to believe she still lives... and is very happy.
 judy
  I miss you and honor you. 

    To Claudia Balassi - Gregariousness and generosity, always willing to give from the heart... Willing to risk her life of loving and helping others in the supreme effort to the end... life cut short 2012 from a handgun she was trying to take away from the one who shot her. Claudia was trying to prevent a mental loser, jerk zero scum bucket from hurting himself and likely others... Words exist, what I feel about it. They hurt emotionally and can not be expressed without the pain of loss being expressed. However, the truth is somewhat beyond the personal wish for a gentle world of our best dreams of what the human is.
     Every human is different. Trying to simplify each to the will of the many or the few is never going to define the one. The killer was a scum bucket, she was a saint. political correctness be damned, he was Evil.  
 

I would like to dedicate this page going forward now to the living:  These are the living - we stand with the actions and thoughts from those who went before... in the hopes of those who make our life be better in a near future of the present about to happen.
   
    To Jennifer W. C. whose integrity and stability of purpose is rock solid. Spiritually and intellectually stable, Life companion and she tolerates me 24 / 7. I should add she tolerates a lot because I evolve and change (hopefully for the better) ...  We walk this road of trials together, combined and on our individual journeys, much shared. It is not expected that we be mirrors of each other, but one of the first steps towards mutual respect is the recognition that we as individuals are very different, Yet a shared experience.  Equal to each other as beings but very different in positive ways of mutual respect.

    To Angela L. - Who helps me to see a path in which to grow towards, she gets me to reflect upon positive change, and helps generate introspection towards my goals of becoming better as a person. Smart, eloquent and linguistically challenging. She tests my will to be who I am. A very good friend for what I hope is a very long life. Even if absent often, living hers... Angela's life is as a smile of great warmth for so many, a hope resides within for lasting friendships are real... technology is only a tool to extend human communication... sometimes reliable, sometimes not. however a persistence of will filled with hope to see a future is measured in all we do. 

    To Mike and Trudy T. - Who are an inspiration for overcoming the trials of a life with great tenacious stamina and the desire to be more than just those who survives, but thrives with applied faith and a great hope. The efforts of applied energy towards achievements, yet being kind to those around them, always offering a helping hand... very good friends now and in the future. 

    T
o Kim C. -  Who is a great parent of smart, well educated people who grew up and are now well on their way in life... That is no small achievement. My smart sister... a very tough survivor of a difficult life. Giving welcomed advise of so many concepts of the practical application of time and effort towards achieving a good outcome for so many. It is a good thing in a tumultuous world. I listen and hear.

working elements in development


# 1  Believe in yourself.
Believe that the human mind can become something changed, even self formed into something better than before.
Yes goal dependent... with enough effort of will.  And if the motivation is there to want it bad enough.

    When you were young, you went to school, you read books... used your computer to read the internet :) you grew into a person different than before... whats the difference?... none.
   
# 2. If through repetitive effort and seeing the effects of change, reinforcing the path as being correct to the goals.
Soon it will become who you are, if desired by oneself.  

# 3. Willingness to be criticized or corrected by others or oneself if the changes are wrong or don't work.
Presuming correctness is a mistake unto itself. Change for changes sake does not make changes good ones.  pay attention to how others react to you.

# 4. Do not assume that the world is already going in some path of unchanging destiny driven by fate.
Believe one person can make some difference, even yourself.
Do not assume that the world is so screwed up it is not worth the effort.  Have some faith in something you believe in, make it real within yourself.

# 5. Sharing the ideas with others makes a difference...
Actually doing it by living it makes a tangible difference to yourself and those around you.
Have an open heart and share it willingly. It will justify itself or not if it is wrong for you.
 
# 6. Recognize the best in others and learn from them.
One does not stand alone.  Human civilization developed over a long time, you did not pop into the world standing alone. Nor is it always good to assume that society has all the bugs of itself worked out... look around now - is it better ???
(look at history) but individuals are just that, those who try to do better can sometimes be recognized, look at how they look at life... learn from them if possible.

# 7. Have some faith in something, tangible or not, perhaps in the power of hope backed up with some effort of the will can work sometimes.
A leap of faith in ones own power to accomplish something difficult.  Hope is a mover, it is at the core of being.

# 8. your faith... is just that, your faith... it does not require approval, its from your heart - if you would not be judged for having one - do not judge another unless it is destructive of others... all is the same - it is the source of hope within to see a future... who can say one is automatically better - does it not seem to be different between cultures... why is that... it is true.

# 9. If you care for someone, set them free in your heart...
Love them and those they love without pre-judgment, recognize it is the entirety of their world inwardly and outwardly, that is who they are...
Loose the jealousy, if it exists, a person does not stand as a good person alone from those they know...
Caring for them does not cost you anything, you gain a world of connections you did not see before. Love different people and open your eyes and heart.

# 10. Don't spy on those you would love, Taking peoples freedom away by destroying privacy... their self respect, their sense of being.  How:  Begin  watching everyone and the world begins to close down into some dark place were civilization begins to fall apart.  I believe that is what generates the downward spiral of a police state...  Trust will disappear, fear rises, then distrust becomes an emotion with causality of societal destruction.

# 11. Love the Creator... without any expectation of a reward after your life on this world... just because you want too... is optimal and difficult to see if your hurting for something missing...
...You see just being alive and having the ability to think... such a gift, is as unique as it can get.
    Is it not enough to find hope with and to believe in a future.

If anything is to be asked - ask to learn how to love, not how to ask to be loved...

testing


    More very soon, this page is in heavy re-development.
      Personal Growth     index
  
         Make a difference in your life, you can, if you see it within yourself to put forth the effort.  
       Updated: July. 9 th - 2022

            Original document creation 2012...
                Perpetual Change deliberately engaged in the pursuit of becoming a better human being.
            Its just a journey of Personal Growth, as there never will be an arrival, just the journey itself...

            believing that, You are responsible for you...
          
        Understanding is everything. The only change you can make that works comes from within yourself.

     We live in a time where the forces of controlling You or you fighting the control to become your own person is important.
     To define clearly. The "Bill of Rights" is for you to be free, not the Government...
    ...which is servant of the people... as a Representative government. A Republic Is the USA
     Freedom is a resposability that is always needing to be fought for...
      Being a decent person in truth is how you become treated with decency in a good world you help make.
         One individual at a time as the only power you really have is controlling yourself...
