2037 revisited

http://intuitivefred888.blogspot.com/2009/03/2037.html

The above is a short story that is the kind of thing that is coming in the world. It is a way of perceiving reality and of forging ahead without asking anyone,(especially the governments of earth). Do I think this is good? Not necessarily.

However, this sort of thing is coming and ways of thinking that we are only beginning to see in today's children and young adults.

I was born in 1948 so the ENIAC (short for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). It was the first general-purpose electronic computer built in 1946.

So, I was born just after the ENIAC and Roswell and in 1947, the same year as Roswell curiously enough the transistor was born. It is my belief that it was just the first reverse engineered device created from Roswell. The computers you are reading this on are another reverse engineered evolution from Roswell by the way. If you don't believe me read "The Day After Roswell" written By U.S. Army Intelligence Colonel Corso who worked for Eisenhower in the White House when Ike was President. Unfortunately, Colonel Corso passed on within a few years after he published his book but his position in Army intelligence and the introduction by Senator Strom Thurmond gives credence to what he shared before he passed on from old age during the 1990s I believe.

As an intuitive 2037 is one of the types of changes to humans that I see coming. However, the most scary change that I see coming is a perceptual change in which young people start to change the ways their brains work and perceive reality by plugging directly into artificial intelligence, the internet. In other words "My Brain, the internet cell phone" where people can be literally connected to all people on earth and their thoughts so anything that is known can be tapped into instantly by all those so connected. Most people today would be horrified by this change. However, likely it is coming. Some will do this even if it is made illegal because it would be hard to check for because no physical difference would be obvious. However, perceptually, the difference internally in people would not be considered human by most, especially when they continue their information addiction into their sleep and dream cycle which really will make people unlike any who have come before.

When this becomes "In Style" IQs might jump to 500 or 1000, but at the cost of being a human being without some senses like instinct and intuition and spirituality? What good is that?

Dealing With Grief Christmas 2009

This last decade has been a decade of grief for the world. The last such decade of grief I would say was from 1960 to 1970. The reasons then for grief was "The Bay of Pigs", The "Cuban Missile Crisis", The Viet Nam War and 50,000 American dead from it and 250,000 wounded and countless other walking wounded with the survivors that still walk hollow eyed our hiways and byways that have somehow survived since then. JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King assasinated and many famous musicians self destructed through drugs and excess etc. etc. etc.

I would say this last decade is the only one that tops the 1960s in grief. Though the 1970s had Watergate and recessions, still it just didn't seem as bad as the 1960s to me.I guess I enjoyed the 1970s too much because I was 22 to 32 during that decade.

But the last ten years broke everyone's heart on earth to watch. But for me, personally, it was devastating to watch my mother go into senile dementia in 1999 and slowly die from it over 10 years, especially because the doctor kept saying that without senile dementia she would have easily lived to be 100. So, last year, a few months from her 90th birthday she died around the same age as her mother, and two sisters died who all died at 90.

Though I'm very very grateful that she is gone for her sake and I totally could never cope with the strangers my mother became that often didn't remember who I was, I still miss the mother I knew up until 1999 when she lost it.

I have vowed to myself to find a way to die before something like this happens to me.

I remember my 65 year old cousin talking about a man they knew that died in a storm rounding the tip of South America in Heavy seas in a cruise ship designed for a heavy weather cruise. I said to my cousin, "Boy, that's the way to go doing something you love!" He gave me a strange look but also realized that that is how my father and grandfather would have thought as well.

I find myself being unnaturally upset with my adult children this holiday season and have been angry with myself for feeling this way. I finally realized that it is my avoiding my feelings of grief for my mother and father not being here this Christmas that is getting to me and not really to do with my children at all. It is feeling very alone carrying the patriarchal role for my family. I find it weighs very heavily upon my shoulders, more so that when I was in my 50s. I find myself struggling to be emotionally strong enough to carry the weight after all that has happened internationally and personally during this decade. I find I have to pray a lot more than usual to go on. And maybe that's a good thing!

What is Truth? 12-10-09

In regard to truth it pays to be cynical if one wants to survive in this world.

So, for me, a realistic assessment of the "Spiraling Rocket Jettisoning Fuel" that I wrote a complete conjecture about last night would now be that there is now after reading a news report of it actually being a misfunctioning intercontinental nuclear missile misfiring in its 3rd stage would be to say that there is now a 50% to 75% chance that that is actually what happened. But it would be prudent to say that there is only a 25% chance that that was all there was to it.

For example, was there a nuclear weapon on board? And, if so, where is it now? Yes. It is true that most countries testing nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles wouldn't use real nuclear warheads but what do we really know?

So, all such news reports do more to alarm than they do to clarify and this wouldn't matter if the country was Russia, China, the U.S., Great Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Pakistan, or India , North Korea, Japan, Taiwan or another yet unknown country that secretly has nuclear weapons or that is developing them.

Spiraling Russian Rocket Jettisoning fuel?

This is Conjecture.

http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93237?fp=1
Above web address takes you to one of the videos

If the light show over Norway isn't a spiraling rocket jettisoning fuel then what other things could it be. First of all, if you saw the movie of it on NBC with Brian Wilson, then you saw something that looks a little like a miniature spiral galaxy spinning with a blue smoke or fire coming out of it. If you have ever seen what water vapor can do on the wing of a jet fighter maneuvering at high speed then at high speed lots of strange things happen.

However, another explanation is that some kind of vortex opened for a while. And if it is not a (spiraling Russian Rocket jettisoning fuel) then it is some other kind of technology possibly relating to inter dimensional travel. As in maybe there is a Russian rocket that can take off as a rocket and then go inter dimensional to its destination. Such a vehicle would be important in colonizing other worlds if people here thought that humans here might not survive very long here(as in 50 to 500 years). So, like in 2012 arks would be built to take some of mankind to repopulate other worlds.

As an intuitive I believe this has happened at least 3 times before and possibly as many as 7 times or more. I believe at this point that what could happen is similar to "The Day After Tomorrow" in that when the ice cap or caps melt along with all glaciers in mountain ranges within the next 10 to 20 years the oceans then heat up because white ice and snow reflect solar heat whereas blue or green water absorbs it so the oceans heat up quite quickly once all glaciers and ice cap(s) are gone. But then everything shifts because heated oceans create clouds and rain and the heat creates giant winds and storms and then creates finally a potential ice age. I believe that it is actually the ice ages that have killed off previous technological civilizations of humans on earth. And only colonists sent to other planets have maintained technology more than 12,000 to 25,000 years which is a normal period between ice ages.

Obviously, all this is conjecture. But as an intuitive this feels like the way things actually have been in the past. And so, this is very likely in our future as well.
Cave men and women anyone?

Atom smasher catches 1st high energy collisions in above web article

Another idea would be that this Norway incident could be a natural physical reaction to the Hadron Collider. Anomalies such is these might be expected in different parts of Earth given what the Hadron Collider does. It might be worth researching.

Therapeutic Writing

If I hadn't started writing in a journal starting when I was about 9 or 10 now it is likely I wouldn't be alive now. The danger times for me were 12 to 14 and 21 to 25. From 12 to 14 I was self destructive that easily could have been fatal because of puberty and childhood epilepsy combined. From 21 to 25 it was from breaking up with a girl I had planned to marry combined with being excommunicated from my childhood church.

So, for me, at least, writing that I mostly did not share with others until around 1999 after I had almost died for about 7 months. And then I realized that I could help people in the present, past and future who came upon my writings intuitively(seemingly by accident). But as many of us know there are No accidents in this universe of ours. Though many might not understand what I'm writing about, I always write multi-level so people can understand on many different levels what I'm communicating about.

What I'm doing in this particular article is to encourage all of you who are so moved to write about your experiences and feelings even if you have no one at all to talk to about your problems. What often happens is just writing about stuff releases the pain sufficiently so you stay alive. It also becomes a type of artwork that when you read it again, days, weeks, years or even a lifetime later, you are amazed by what you have written.

Through life all of us become many different people in order to survive the various times, situations and people in our lives. By reading of another person you once had to be, you in a way communicate through time with all your various selves. I don't know about you but I miss many of the different people I once was now I'm 61.

I think most of all I miss the person I was from 4 to 10 before I got childhood epilepsy and I miss the person I was between 30 to 37. Those are the two people I was that I miss the most. I miss the raw intelligence and youthful idealism of my 4 to 10 year old self and I miss the 30 to 37 year old because I finally knew what I was doing and hadn't started to lose my physical health yet. In other words my body didn't hurt every day so much yet. Even though I like myself much better now I miss my youthfulness and idealism even though those things tend in the long run to cause incredible pain as one is forced to become more and more pragmatic just to survive another day.

Variables 2

http://intuitivefred888.blogspot.com/2009/12/variables.html

The first article on intuitive variables is the above article written recently.

In this present article I would like to show you an example of what it is like for me. In regard to this it is Global Climate Change but it could also be anything.

So, in this example let us imagine a 4 wheeled motor vehicle carrying 5 people, the driver and 4 others since a 5 passenger vehicle is one of the most common 4 wheeled vehicles on earth at present. I'm not the driver. I'm sitting in the back seat. However, as an intuitive I see coming in my mind a fatal accident in which all of us would be killed unless I say something now. When I tell them, "We could all be killed unless you stop the car!" The driver says, "I'm late for work, and besides you're full of s---!" So, obviously the driver isn't going to take me seriously. However, the person sitting next to me has seen in real life that many of my predictions come true. So he says, "Fred here has been right about this sort of thing many times before." So the two other passengers think, "I don't know Fred but if George here thinks it might be true then we should stop." The driver says, "I'm so d--- late for work you can all go to h---." Now all four of us are worried in case I'm right. So, as the potentially fatal accident nears the front seat passenger grabs the wheel and we skid sideways to a stop with the driver screaming at us. But then the driver sees the fatal accident which was the Amtrak train going by at 50 mph or above with the broken crossing arm that wouldn't have notified us of the train and all 5 of us the breathe a sigh of relief. This is the way it has always been in my life.

So, when I tell you I'm concerned about the human race still being around 500 or 1000 years from now because of the seriousness of Global Climate change don't be like the driver for all our sakes.

Variables

As an intuitive I can put in choices or variables and come up with likely results. As adults in school most of us are taught to think in this way also. It is called critical thinking. However, the main difference for me is I can do this intuitively also in addition to using logical thought using factual variables. It actually works very well in my life but I can't really explain it as anything other than a highly refined instinct which it also is.

So, for example, if I look at the Copenhagen Conference and Kyoto before that I can see that there is more interest in ALL nations to do something now before things get much worse. This is a good thing.

Also, as things progressively get worse this century weather wise, even more people will get on the bandwagon so to speak and this is even better.

But also as an intuitive the likely result is that just this century between 1 billion and 5 billion people will die directly or indirectly from Global climate change. And unless we could go back to about 1900 and change the way we did things during the 20th century there is no way I see for less than 1 billion people to die directly or indirectly from Global Climate change this century. For me that is a given.

If everyone did absolutely nothing more and totally gave up the idea of doing anything about Global Climate change about 5 billion would die directly or indirectly from Global Climate change this century. And if they did nothing about it for 500 years all humans would be dead by 500 years from now and within 1000 years very little life at all would still be left alive on earth. So it would be like humans going extinct like the dinosaurs did.

However, since people are starting to see that something is seriously wrong worldwide it is unlikely the human race will go extinct now unless a 3rd World War begins. A 3rd World war now likely would cause extinction within 500 to 1000 years because of all the disruption it would cause.

However, the level of frustration among humans worldwide could very easily spin out of control in almost any nation on earth because the frustration level goes beyond anything I've ever seen. So, for me, human frustration and starvation are an even more immediate threat to world stability than Global Climate change. But if both aren't addressed properly during the next 500 years we are all toast anyway.

Frustration

As a life long intuitive I have never felt such frustration on planet earth since I was born as I do right now from all life on earth. In plants one can see it by plants blooming not once but often several times during the year. This is a reaction to potential extinction. Plants are easy to observe. Wild animals for most people are much harder to observe enough to make any sense of their behaviors.

However, among people you can see it in their eyes, the hopelessness, or if there still is hope there, the struggle to maintain a sense of hope. In our young people and soldiers it is easy to see in the ever rising suicide rates worldwide. Without hope of a good education like we are experiencing here in California suicide rates are likely to rise in relation to the lack of college level public education beyond Community Colleges and even in Community Colleges the courses and the teachers have been cut dramatically.

Hopefully, our California students and students from other states and countries will take advantage of private colleges in California and the U.S. to take up the slack. And hopefully, our California UC and CSU public college system will be back within 5 or 10 years to what they once were before all the cancelled courses and the laying off of professors, assistant professors and TAs etc. Hopefully, there will be a way back.

But as an intuitive it is not just about California and its problems, the whole world is in distress. I think enough scientists and researchers now can trace this recession back to droughts and difficult to obtain oil reserves and extreme Global Climate Changes these last 10 years so there is no doubt among most of us on earth that we are in for it almost no matter what we do as humans now. I think most of us sense that many will starve before we come out the other side of this in 2nd and 3rd world nations as well as many in 1st world nations the way this thing is looking now.

The recovery is moving too slowly for the millions that won't make it even this year and the next. This is a given. Don't forget to pray for the millions who won't make it worldwide.

Denialism: The Book

There is a book that was advertised on the Daily Show by its author. It is called:
Denialism "How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives by Michael Specter.

Though I was interested in the topic what I found most interesting of all is that left, right and center all three have things they live in denial about. I have always looked at life in this way so this really made sense to me.

It is one of the reasons why I voted for almost every President that has been elected since 1968. It is because both parties do some things well and always mess some things up. And sometimes total centrists try to please everyone and end up accomplishing nothing. I hope Obama doesn't continue to be a crowd pleaser because those kind accomplish nothing as President. So I hope he twists some arms and gets the Health Care Bill passed and Brings the boys and girls home from Afghanistan as soon as possible before our country gets anymore bankrupt than it already is.

So, I believe in always looking at what is best for my country and not only my country but all humans on earth and all life on planet earth and beyond rather than ever looking at any one party line.

So, it doesn't matter who is in denial about what. If each of us is an adult and tries to think hard and to make the best decisions for ourselves and everyone else that we can, hopefully we won't be fooled by too many idiots running for office. Hopefully, there still will be a United States with a President, and Congress and people who live here with rights and obligations 100 or 500 or 1000 years from now.

Tiger Woods- a different point of view

This hasn't been mentioned by the Press at all as far as I have seen.

Also, this isn't to excuse Tiger's behavior as nothing can do that but rather to explain it in a rational way.

In case no one noticed Tiger's father passed away May 5th 2006. I think if anyone researched his affairs they likely began in the next year after this. If he is a love addict, however, he may have been like this since High School. Since I don't know Tiger personally I wouldn't know the answer to this question. If he is a love addict then women to such a person are like a drug and he probably needs to go to one of the AA type of meetings for love addicts if he wants to stay married and raise his kids.

If you have a disciplinarian for a father like Tiger obviously did to start him golfing almost before he walked then you understand the dynamics. My father was a disciplinarian too. So was my father in laws. And when my father in laws father died so did his marriage and when my Dad died so did my marriage. Often if one has a disciplinarian for a father and who is bigger than life like a John Wayne or a Clint Eastwood type of person then one becomes a lover of women as a reaction to this type of father especially if one is handsome and well behaved which one tends to become with a father like this.

Also, with a disciplinarian for a father one can never be oneself. So, demonstrating individuality you give up with a father like this. So, often one becomes identified with being a lover and pleaser of women because one needs an identity other than the one that one's father creates. Men who love and care about their fathers don't want to disappoint their fathers. However, everyone needs their own individuality if they don't want to just become a robot and go insane eventually. So a son of a very strong disciplinarian type of father has to find a way to create his own individuality to cope.

Once Tiger's Dad died so did the structure he lived under all these years. The normal result is often a breakup of the son's marriage and family if that son hasn't sufficiently individuated from his father in his own mind.

To demonstrate this I lost my second wife to my father's death. I don't blame my father and I don't blame myself anymore either. It was just the hand I was dealt and it really couldn't have gone any other way for me at age 37. That Tiger was only about 30 or 31 when his Dad died only made this kind of thing worse. Yes. He is a Billionaire but his career might be over or not depending upon his fans. The problem is his fans(men) mostly have wives and girlfriends and this is his real problem now.

If he goes to a group (a love addicts anonymous kind of clone group) he might save his marriage if she wants to and he cares enough. However, either way Tiger needs to grow up. Yes, Tiger, your Dad died and it F---ed you up. But now you are a man and you just have to find a way to cope like the rest of us whose fathers died when we were still young.

Compassion 12-7-09

Some may think some of my articles are callous because I have spoken of seeing a lot of weather changes creating starvation over the last 10 years or so. If you could see a potential accident in a car or bus you were driving in or a passenger in, wouldn't you try to get people to listen to you before you and all of them died? This is the position I'm in as a proven intuitive and precognitive psychic.

And I must say just because I know what is coming a lot of the time it doesn't make me any more emotionally capable than you would be of knowing what I know. The only good thing about it is often I can help save some lives in the process by sharing what I see coming.

Though everyone around me has seen many of my predictions come true, it isn't easy for them either. How would you like to live with someone who knows what is coming a lot of the time, especially if something dangerous is coming? However, they have all gotten used to me being right a lot. So when I say something might happen they have learned that it might and so they take precautions.

There was the time that I knew my wife's mother was dying and since I knew I might die too, this was an especially onerous decision of whether to tell my wife or not as doctors hadn't diagnosed this condition yet in her. And I didn't know what was wrong with her I only knew she was dying. I knew because the auric egg around her was empty of emotion and spirit. So it would be like one of those eggshells you suck all the insides of the egg out of an then paint it and keep it for years. She was like that all the spirit was already gone and just her mind and disciplines remained.

Finally, even though I might have been dying also then on Thanksgiving 1998 when we visited her mother I told my wife and she got hysterical and told me she would leave me if I ever spoke of this again and told me to shut up about it. Since I wanted to stay married I shut up after that. But 2 months later her mother was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. She was gone by April 1999.

I'm just trying to share that being compassionate isn't always easy or even useful at times when you have gifts like mine. What do you do? Do you share things if it will save people's lives or not? Usually, if it prevents an accident or prevents maiming I will just redirect people so they aren't where the accident was going to happen. This way I don't have to tell them anything. But in the case of my wife's mother I was going to get yelled at either way. It didn't matter I was right. I did what I thought was best and got yelled at.

West Coastal Snow-California

It was very cold last night for the northern California coast. Just a little inland some places will see the 20s. It will be in the upper 30s tonight where I live on the ocean. I turned on the news to hear of 6 inches of snow in some places in the coastal range and of snow above 1500 feet and of the snow level dropping to 500 feet in some places. Though we usually get a little frosting of snow in the coastal range it was unusual to see snow in Big Sur on the weather map right on the coast. It probably didn't stick except above 1500 feet but that is still pretty unusual. Hiway 17 from Santa Cruz into San Jose was receiving snow as well. That is a place you don't really want to drive at all if it is snowing as parts of that road are nicknamed "Blood Alley" because of how dangerous that drive can be in heavy traffic even without any rain or snow present. Also, Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California is sure to have a frosting today.

Two days later: Since I wrote the above there have been 2 more days of near freezing or below freezing temperatures on the California coast. Temperatures I haven't ever seen such as 11 below freezing Fahrenheit in Tahoe City(next to Lake Tahoe) and near Zero Fahrenheit in the little city of Mt. Shasta. One just usually doesn't see temperatures like this at all except above 8000 feet in elevation in California. California has been a deep freeze with very low snow levels throughout the state this week. And when the Cold Blast moved towards Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado it only got worse. I think we have one more night of freezing and below temperatures on the California Coast. 2pm Wednesday December 9th 2009

Avatar

I looked up the word Avatar on Wikipedia and got these quotes for you.

For the upcoming film, see Avatar (2009 film). For other uses, see Avatar (disambiguation).
The ten avatars of Vishnu (clockwise, from upper left corner): Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Vamana, Krishna, Kalki, Buddha, Parshurama, Rama & Narasimha, and Krishna (centre)

Avatar or Avatara (Devanagari अवतार, IAST avatāra, the Sanskrit for "descent" [viz., from heaven to earth, from the verbal root tṝ "to cross over"]), in Hinduism, usually implies a deliberate descent from higher spiritual realms to lower realms of existence for special purposes, often translated into English as incarnation.

Avatars that are of importance are mainly those of the Supreme Being which are plenary and marked with superhuman qualities. Other types of descents are limited expansions of Ishvara, and some that are descents of lesser empowered divinities. The term is used primarily in Hinduism for descents of Vishnu whom Vaishnava Hindus (one of the largest branches of Hinduism)[1] worship as the Supreme God, a distinctive feature of Vaishnavism. While Shiva and Ganesha are also described as descending in the form of avatars, with the Ganesha Purana and the Mudgala Purana detailing Ganesha's avatars specifically, the avatars of Vishnu carry a greater theological prominence than those of Shiva or Ganesha and upon examination relevant passages are directly imitative of the Vaishnava avatara lists.[2] end quote from wikipedia.

So, if I got this right Gods incarnate on Earth to help the humans and all beings here as Avatars. Under this definition both Jesus and Krishna would be Avatars and possibly Guatama Buddha as well. However, for this to be accurate they would have to be incarnations of one of the 10 Avatars of Vishnu. I have often wondered whether the names Krishna and Christos are related as they are similar to speak.

How this term relates to the movie (Avatar) coming up next week we will all find out when we actually see the movie.

Copenhagen climate change summit

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8398510.stm

begin quote from above article
The conference has been described by some scientists as the most important the world has ever seen. ---

"Never in 17 years of climate negotiations have so many different countries made so many pledges. It's unprecedented," he said.---

To stress the importance of the summit, 56 newspapers in 45 countries will publish the same editorial on Monday, warning that climate change will "ravage our planet" unless action is agreed, the London-based Guardian reported.

The editorial - to be published in 20 languages - has been thrashed out by editors ahead of the Copenhagen talks, the newspaper said.

"At the deal's heart must be a settlement between the rich world and the developing world," the editorial says.

Environmental activists plan protests in Copenhagen and around the world on 12 December, to encourage delegates to reach the strongest possible deal.

Tens of thousands marched in London and other UK and European cities on Saturday.
end quotes.

Obviously, as more weather systems alter or start collapsing worldwide and as more and more people die or have to move because their topsoil blew away in a drought or because their once home fell into the ocean or into the ground because of melting permafrost or their family home for hundreds or even thousands of years has to be abandoned to rising oceans more people are becoming scared enough to do something to try to make things better before it is too late for all of us.

If you can read but don't feel educated

No matter what your age if you can read this or even if someone is reading this to you, you can increase your knowledge, wisdom and usefulness both to yourself, your family, your friends and everyone you know and possibly even people you haven't met yet.

Being educated doesn't mean that you have been to college or even finished in public school. All you really need is to be able to read or have someone who is reading to you.

There was something my father always said to me when I was little. He always said, "I am the master of my own fate, the Captain of my own destiny." THIS is what self knowledge and education really bring. The easiest way to educate yourself is to study whatever you are interested in. In whatever free time you have, research whatever you are most interested in, on a computer if you have access to one, in a library if you have access to one or just through reading the books in your own library or a relatives or a friends.

The more you are aware of and have knowledge of the more useful you will tend to be to your own survival and to the survival mentally and physically of all the others that you know. Though a college education is nice is it also an unaffordable luxury in most of the world.

When my oldest son was young he was dyslexic because my mother and grandmother were dyslexic too. However, my mother or grandmother never told me so I never found out until my mother told me when she was around 82.

So when my son had trouble reading and spelling I knew he was very intelligent because he started reading maps and navigating for me on long trips in my truck or car when he was only 4 or 5. So when he was having trouble reading he got interested in Dungeons and Dragons and role playing games. So I just let him buy these role playing books and he was just so interested that he taught himself to read by asking me what words meant that he spelled out to me to show me. Later, because he was interested in role playing games he got interested in computers and became a computer whiz and when he reached his twenties and went to college he got discouraged because he still had trouble in spelling and English Composition even though he would get As in C++ computer programming language and all science and math courses. When he finally got married he was 28 and he went back to college after being a computer tech during his twenties to become a nurse because, "He had watched so many relatives and friends die that he felt he wanted to fix people rather than computers." When he was tested by the college when he was about 30 we found he had an IQ of about 150. I had always known how intelligent he was but until this test and getting married had hadn't really believed in himself or what I kept telling him. But after that he has been an almost straight A honor student ever since and has joined many honor societies related to good students in a collegiate setting.

So, it is never too late to learn, even if you are 80 or 90 years old there is still time to learn to better help yourself and others.

Since anger, frustration, and confusion in people around the world is mostly found in those uneducated by others or self, a way out of anger, frustration and confusion is by educating yourself any way you can in your spare time. Sometimes, even your employers will pay for you to learn new things and to educate yourself if you make it known that you are interested in bettering yourself. But, a love of learning is the most important thing that can help you and your family move forward and up in life.

I have found that access to what you need is sometimes more important that having everything you need. There are many people out there that might be interested in mentoring you to help you in your life. Yes. You do have to be careful in choosing the right mentor but they are definitely out there. My wife and I have mentored many people including our own children and God Children and people we have met along the way. It is important to understand that mentors have to protect themselves also. So, be careful how you present yourselves to them.

However, whatever age you are you can move yourself and empower yourself to be in a position to be able to take advantage of educational and financial opportunities when they arrive. There is a saying, "All things come to he who waits." However, I have a better saying, "All things come to he or she who prepares for anything."

I was raised on the West Coast of the United States and I have relatives who have lived in the U.S. since about 1725. And also almost anyone who has relatives that have lived that long in the U.S. has a little Native American in their blood as well. I was taught always to "Prepare for the worst but hope for the best." This is why my ancestors survived when many others didn't as they settled the western United States. This also is my advice to you as you educate yourselves, "Prepare for the worst but hope for the best". For this is how you and your family will survive ANYTHING.
