Life of Gerard

Foreword As with many other short stories I have written, this one came to me all at once. It was a powerful story and I knew the ending only dimly. It was only after I came to the end that I saw how meaningful it was and how everything was coming together. I would now explain the writing of this story as driven by spirit influence. It was written about 5 years before I found the Divine Truth teachings. Although I do not believe most of what I've heard, much of it has left such an impression on me, and has been absorbed at least intellectually, and I have reasoned it to be the best information I have yet discovered as to the Truth of God and Ler Universe, that I want to be careful what content I put out. If the messages contained within the stories and essays I put out do not reckon well with the Truths I've heard, I do not feel good. I placed the following story on my blog a while ago, only to take it down with the interest of editing it to reflect my current understanding. Af...

A Simple Tweak

          It’s wrong to blame.           But we do it so often. We blame our children, our friends, our parents, even our leaders.           Instead, we would be better off looking at problems we face and seeking the cause within ourselves. We may not have caused the whole problem but can be sure that our emotional reaction to the event means we played some part in it.           God keeps on bringing events to trigger us, not because Le hates us but because of Ler Love for us.           Let’s grab some headlines from news mediums and see if we can change them.           “Oklahoma nonbinary teen died after school fight amid reported bullying” could be changed to, “What feelings inside me contribute to teens dying in violent fights?”           “Brazil’s Head of State makes ...

The Elite in America

         Toyota is coming out with a new truck that's only 10,000 US dollars. Most trucks in America start at about 30,000. Unfortunately, this truck will not be available to Americans although it will be available to most of the rest of the world.          I would love to have a simple truck like that and have to ask myself why it won't be offered in the American market. There may be some laws in place that prevent this, but I suspect that many people would be offended by it. If you look at how large trucks have become in the last 20 years, it verges on insane. Having a little rinky-dink truck manufactured by a well-known brand would disrupt most American's sense of self-importance.          The top 1% of people in the US make about $800,000 a year. Last year I made $20,000. It's easy for me to look at that higher number and complain about what I don't have. It's harder to see all that I do have.    ...
