  1. JOY: always go straight to the very best in everything; go straight to the best in every single situation, go straight to the best in every single one you meet… including yourself!
    1. the hard part for me is looking for the best within myself & my work as well; so don’t forget to celebrate even your smallest-seeming wins, and do this every day as a gift to all of us, because there aren’t enough finish lines to sustain your energy on this long journey of life 
    1. Thucidydes “the secret to happiness is freedom, and the secret to freedom is courage” 
  2. ENTHUSIASM: focus all of your energy & your strength of will on whatever task you’re doing; besides it being the only way to consistently win, it shows respect to all present, and it is positively contagious! I am so corny with the exclamation points, I know, but trust me, this enthusiasm thing is magic. no punctuation necessary what
  3. TRUST: grant trust to others through giving them the exhilarating freedom of autonomous decision-making… remember it is always their choice to follow you or listen to what you’re teaching! to earn trust remember to enter Yoda’s C.A.I.V. of Fear with the courage to be>>>
    1. cleverly Consistent (a great leader/teacher never gets angry; always be patient with your students!)
    2. admirably Authentic (people won’t trust you if you’re pretentious or you think you’re ‘better’ than them),
    3. impressively & intentionally keepin’ watertight Integrity (always keep your thoughts+words+deeds tightly aligned!),
    4. valiantly, virtuously, & veraciously Vulnerable (remember being vulny is NOT equivalent to wack ass weakness, ‘gettin’ all vulny with it’ is a genuine way to be relatable; a genuine way to teach, lead, and talk to people as equals is to drop any ‘perfect’ facade and instead let them know your hard-earned lessons learned! they will be grateful, and you will be legit connected!)
  4. COURAGE: to ride the wind proudly, proclaiming your values, beliefs, and preferences for all to see & hear… the courage to be disliked, to be different, to take a stand for what you believe, to defend others, to make mistakes & keep learning, to fall explosively and pick yourself back up, to heal yourself, to heal others, to try something ADVENTUROUS!!! 
    1. “Life is either a daring adventure… or it is nothing” – Helen Keller
  5. ACCEPTANCE: ~~~surfers don’t yell at the waves for not waving~~~ they just laugh and go to another spot! And so we should learn from them and never get angry! Don’t get furious, get CURIOUS!
    1. Acceptance is a 3-tined-fork, very similar to the leadership discipline of JOY: seek to perpetually find acceptance for 3 things; <1> the situation, <2> yourself, and <3> everyone you encounter during the day!
    2. “Great leaders may have gruff, demanding, uncompromising exteriors, but deep down the greatest leaders have an UNQUALIFIED ACCEPTANCE & EMPATHY for their teams” – Robert Greenleaf, the Servant as Leader
    3. The highest forms of acceptance are: gratitude, patience, and FLEXIBILITY!
  6. FORGIVENESS: Toni Morrison says it best when she encourages all you land-locked, surface-dwellers: “if you wanna fly, you have to let go of the sh!t that weighs you down!” Seek to find instant forgiveness, for everyone, including yourself. You are going to make so many mistakes in this leadership game, you add so much unnecessary drag to your aircraft if you choose to carry grudges around with you everywhere. This includes grudges against yourself.
    1. Do everyone around you a giant favor and constantly remind yourself that people are generally doing their best
    2. accept them, flaws and all
    3. forgive them, (although this is more ‘for’ the ‘giver’, you!)
    4. teach them (if possible and appropriate),
    5. and then speak no more of it, and try your very best to do this entire forgiveness thing with enthusiasm!
  7. GENEROSITY: Aristotle discovered ‘DYNAMIS & ENERGEIA were the keys to a fulfilling life! I would have called bs, but I found the leadership discipline of generosity to be the only thing that would reliably bring me joy when I was homeless. So listen up haters, this isn’t just sunshine stuff. This is the real deal!
    1. DYNAMIS is the process of discovering your your unique skills, talents, & aptitudes, and this is a blast.
    2. ENERGEIA is the process of resourcefully and generously sharing your unique skills, talents, & aptitudes. I guess that is why he made such a big deal about finding out your unique skills, talents, & aptitudes…so you could use your unique skills, talents, & aptitudes (I promise I won’t say it again) to make the world a better place in a lasting way by creating systems!
  8. CREATIVITY: the ability to make something victorious, something impactful, something beautiful… out of whatever MacGyver stuff you happen to have laying around. “For the person with creative potential, there is no wholeness except in using it.” – Robert Greenleaf, The Servant as Leader
    1. IMPORTANT NOTE: everyone has creative potential… and this is a wonderful thing! please don’t ignore yours, as it is a powerful way to express yourself, a clever-mostly-ignored way to heal, and maybe most importantly a sublime way to discover SELF-AWARENESS…
  9. SELF-AWARENESS: maybe you’ve heard of Sun Tzu, my guy! He was talking about this SELF-AWARENESS thingie a looooong time ago, something about how ‘if you knew yourself and the enemy, in a thousand battles you’d never be defeated…’ …guess that sounds important then. Let’s study it, embrace it, and find out just how many seats it takes to fill Albert Hall. This is a Beatles joke, if you hate music, and don’t like the Beatles for some reason. It’s ok, I hated the Beatles forever, just because my Mom LOVED them when I was a little boy. Then I found a slice o’ self-awareness, and in the haze clearing clarity I found so many things and people and places and concepts that I LOVED… it gave me the airspeed & momentum I needed to finally break free of the black hole of 24/7 fear & anxiety. So ya know, maybe this one is important too.
    1. Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.” – Blaise Pascal.
    2. Take the time it takes to do this; discipline your mind every day. It matters. It will set you free in ways I can’t describe.
    3. Also check out the book The Four Fold Way by Angeles Arrien; it details the collective indigenous people of the world’s wise understanding of the four components of a powerful leader: the WARRIOR, the TEACHER, the HEALER, and the VISIONARY. Check this one out, trust me!
  10. INTUITION: can you imagine how phenomenal it feels to be so connected to your fighter jet that you can feel the wind buffeting against the wings, and you can spidey-sense what happens before it even happens? you can wear the mask too if you seek to master your profession, and it actually really doesn’t matter what the profession is, as long as you are dedicated to mastering it>>>> FOUR STEPS TO MASTERY OF ANY THING <<<<
    1. step 1: to MEMORIZE… if you don’t know the 14 leadership disciplines by heart, and if you can’t recite them while bouncing a tennis ball, then you don’t know them! The unrelenting chaotic moments are so quick and savage when they arrive, always helpfully unannounced; if you don’t know exactly where your instruments are in the dark, you are starting off at a severe disadvantage. And yes, I love semi-colons; and exclamation points. The more the better. So please stop messaging me about this, hah!
    2. step 2: to LEARN by DOING, with CURIOSITY + HUMILITY + ENTHUSIASM… experiment in the field, and get feedback from every source possible to consider a tweak!
    3. step 3: to TEACH courageously & creatively, with PATIENCE + HUMILITY + EMPATHY… crafting your own lightsaber… seek to explain all concepts 5 different ways, or you don’t really know how to teach it!
    4. step 4: to MASTER a thing is to EMBODY it… to be it! 
      1. “The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all!” – Pablo Casals
  11. VISION: i have discovered the best leaders are teachers & artists, creators & challengers, and they all continuously look to communicate their vision in more impactful ways*!
    1. * ways = that inspire & sustain the team’s energy & focus on long journeys.
  12. IMAGINATION: my guy Einstein was frequently found to be fond of saying that logic will take you from A to B, but IMAGINATION will take you everywhere!
    1. Charles Beaudelaire once also observed: genius is childhood recalled at will, finding a way to return to a state of mind that is temporarily open & free to any possibility!
    2. what this means is NOT breaking rules of safety to be a reckless renegade .. but recklessly breaking all ASSUMPTIONS when solving a problem…innovation requires an absence of fear and unproductive stress
    3. which is where the leadership & culture is so critical; it MUST BE OK TO MAKE MISTAKES (culture = courage + acceptance + forgiveness + empathy blend!)
  13. EMPATHY: life is a pleasant sea breeze when you leave everyone you encounter AT EASE with all the E’s
    1.  Encouraged, Empowered, & hopefully Enlightened!
    2. “being an ally means it is always OUR problem, and never THEIR problem!”
    1. Everyone is a genius, but judge a fish on ability to climb a tree & it will live its life believing it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein, >infinity looP intentional<
  14. WISDOM: the ability to be kind & generous with your unique gifts, to everyone you encounter, with no expectations in return, and no exceptions for anything! this is incredibly difficult to do, but rewarding like nothing you’ve ever experienced; always remember to do your checklist and perform your ICS CHECK (in the F-14 Tomcat this meant Intercom System Check, our internal radio communication between the RIO and the Pilot; this must occur before each & every flight!)
    1. Inner Conflict,
    2. current Scenario, or!
    3. Challenging Historical Experiences of Consequence (that sucK)
    4. none of these are valid excuses for being rude or aggressive with people; always seek to be genuinely kind & generous to everyone you encounter along the wacky & wild road of every day life.

I know these might seem over the top idealistic, especially to all the pessimists, but when you can truly-for-reelzies embody ANY of these, even for a second, your life will get so unexpectedly & shockingly suddenly beautiful, oh I can’t wait for you to find out for yourself.

Good hunting on your flight paths to all my fellow warriors, all my fellow teachers, all my fellow healers, and all my fellow visionaries, always love & respect to you, wherever you ride. As you travel, I hope these bring you the same insightful joy as they have me.

Forever your wingman, Dave

Addicted to Speed… Adrenaline+Danger+Chaos

“…anger is a gift…”

– Rage Against The Machine, Freedom

That’s what I used to think. Anger would clarify the unknown. Clear the haze. Provide intense focus. Eliminate all the weak chatter that goes on in your brain during the boring “down times.” Therefore, anger = STRENGTH.

Once you get used to operating in chaos, you miss it when it isn’t there. Chaos allows for urgent innovation, soul-felt intuition and good ol’ fashioned American ingenuity. A brave and intrepid fighter pilot can launch off the carrier deck right into the storm with no idea what the mission is, but you just know they are going to get it done.

World War II German tank commanders used to throw up their arms in frustration; they would go through all the trouble of stealing our tactics manuals, only to find out the entrepreneurial young crews would routinely completely disregard standard procedures en-route to a surprise victory.

This is the power of a free society and an all-volunteer fighting force. Our country creates free-thinking and intelligent citizens; when pressed into action, when forced to figure it out under pressure, no one does it better.

The issue is when we come back. Civilian life seems dreadfully boring at first glance. Everyone is shuffling off to work they usually hate, stuck in traffic and doing the same routine, every… single… day. The tendency will be to chase speed, danger, adrenaline and back to the old comfortable blankie of CHAOS. Chaos feels comfortable somehow, because it brings out the best in us. When we can overcome all odds, and unscramble the madness, we feel heroic. Nothing becomes a man more in time of war than the ability to focus under extreme conditions and accomplish the mission. 

But nothing becomes a man more in time of peace than the ability to use love and compassion to solve conflict. 

Make the necessary adjustments my fellow warriors, and learn from my mistakes. You can never get enough speed or adrenaline or danger to outrun your demons. When you hit the merge, turn around and fight. You won’t regret it.

With love and respect, Dave

Movie Review

Faster, Funnier Movie Review: INTERSTELLAR


No Comments

interstellar_voyage-3840x2160-1000x562

This post is dedicated to my firstborn son, who turns lucky-number-14 years old today. If you find this my good boy, know that I love and miss you every day. I am proud of you and I can’t wait until we are reunited. Until then stay strong and use every second wisely.

Love, Dad — July 23, 2018

In the squadron there was an expression used to warn a presenter that he was on the verge of sucking: “faster, FUNNIER!” came the cry from the junior pilots in our Ready Room’s back row. If you didn’t somehow pick up the pace and make your briefing more entertaining, you were seconds away from getting booed off stage.

That’s my goal with these movie and book reviews; get in and out fast, giving you just the right amount of lessons learned. So here we go:

INTERSTELLAR

Interstellar-team

This movie is simply about time. Don’t waste any of it. If you’re a father, your children will only be this exact age for this current day, so get hot and make something happen they will remember about fondly. Or with a laugh. If you don’t have kids, overcome whatever fear is holding you back and go get after your dream. Right. Now.

“The best time to plant a tree was thirty years ago … the second best time is right now.”

– Old School Japanese Proverb

super punch out for blog pic

This movie hit me with the TKO Super Punch Out punch because of my strained relationship with my four children. If even one day apart from your kids is excruciating when you want to get back to them, how horrific will YEARS to seem to you. I could feel the lead NASA astronaut pilot’s pain (played by Dazed & Confused breakout Matthew McConaughey… has he been better in anything else?) intensely because I know from experience how overwhelming it is.

So for those of you out there facing something rough, people’s canned and bland advice of “just be patient” isn’t nearly enough. One of my very favorite stories of all time goes like this: when they asked Nelson Mandela how he survived all those years in prison, he had this wise response…

“…I wasn’t surviving, I was PREPARING…”

Whether it is your fault or not doesn’t really matter, because you can’t change what has already occurred. What you CAN change is this:

  1. Learn any and all lessons from what happened => never make them again.
  2. Resolve to make the most of every moment so that when they do come back to you, you’re ready and you’re someone that they can be proud of; NOT someone defeated by sadness and addiction and all that. Don’t just eke out the days, live to the max and make strides towards the future you want while taking ACTION to evolve into the man you want to become. It’s never too late. 
  3. This sounds corny as hell, but the correct solution for any conflict with loved ones is always = COMPASSION & LOVE. Trust me, this works. Replace any jealousy you might have with acceptance and love. No, I don’t do kundalini yoga.

Finally, about time: Einstein said time was just an illusion, and that we experience it chronologically because that’s the only way we know how to make sense of it. The funny part is, you can’t predict what’s going to happen next. So as long as you’re still breathing, you’re still in the fight. NEVER give up. 

Oh yeah, the movie is entertaining as f and should be watched by all: A+

Why You Always Need a Wingman


No Comments

At every stage in life we all need a good wingman, and not just when you’re at the bar. This can be a matter of life or death.

The critical concept of “mutual support” was drilled into us as shiny new Ensigns undergoing Primary Flight School training in Corpus Christi, Texas. When it starts going down, you need someone to watch your back and your wingman needs the same.

In a real fleet squadron it was no different. Every time we hit the afterburners and launched from the deck of our aircraft carrier on a combat mission, we had to have a wingman. No wingman, no launch.

No exceptions.

Want to win? Enlisting the aid of another winged Naval Aviator at your side juiced the odds in your favor. Big time. Just one lone wingman exponentially increased your section’s survivability, your chances of successfully completing the mission and most importantly saving our guys and gals on the deck.

With a wingman, you had another set of eyes to watch out for air and ground threats, you had someone else to cover your tail in a dogfight,[1] and you had someone else to safely guide you home ‘back to the boat’ if your nav equipment failed at night in the blackest of clouds. Yeah, that happened to me: icing + complete instrument failure = not so fun.

But all that is meaningless to you if you’re a civilian, except this final point we learned at Navy SERE [2] School: the number one predictor of survival if you were shot down was HAVING ANOTHER SURVIVOR with you.

Not having a bazooka, or Rambo-like wilderness skills. Not even having a ‘positive mental attitude’, which was a close second. Turns out that eventually everyone has a bad day: hunger, loneliness, desperation, fear and hopelessness can strike you on day ten or day three-hundred. When it comes, you’d better have your wingman (either Iceman or in a pinch, Wilson, take your pick) close to get you back on track.

Screen Shot 2018-06-19 at 5.28.16 PM

So how does this apply to you? Don’t go all Han Solo on us and try to do this all by yourself. Find someone and keep each other going through the darkness; with humor, music, sheer force of will, Combos 7-layer Tortilla Dip flavor (awesome, by the way) or whatever you’ve got on hand.

If you don’t have anyone, I’ll be your wingman. Stay alive, no matter what. 

[1] A ‘dogfight’ is pilot term for air-to-air combat within visual range. PETA, can you please stop email spamming me, I love dogs…

[2]Survival, Evasion, Resistance & Escape School: somewhat unpleasant prep for the dreadful chance of getting shot down / ejecting over enemy lines and then captured. Re-enacted by the Navy’s finest sailors, hand-selected for their long standing membership in the Black Shoe’s underground “We Hate Pilots” club.

With love and respect, Dave

Solving the 8 Body Problem Unlocks Epic Harmony!


No Comments
Solving the 8 Body Problem Unlocks Epic Harmony! Sketch ✍️ by David & GOLIATH, Hallelujah & Abundance to all my family, which is all of you!

“Transcend the complexity of our minds & what we think 💭 we KNOW… to reach the simplicity of God’s perfect math 🧮 & timing ⏱️…” – paraphrasing Richard Feynman

P.s.: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” – Einstein

“If you want to study 📚 God, study 📚 nature 🌴 …” – Albert Einstein

“When the student is ready… the teacher appears!” – watercolor paint inscription 🎨 my Dad gifted to me!

“When you teach, you learn twice” – Lao Tzu

“Great leaders may have GRUFF, DEMANDING, UNCOMPROMISING exteriors, but deep inside the greatest leaders is a genuine unqualified acceptance & empathy for their teams” – Robert Greenleaf

“The student may, at any time, reject the teacher, but the teacher may never reject the student!” – Robert Greenleaf, The Servant As Leader (little orange 🍊 booklet)

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. —Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching (Mitchell translation)

“If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.” — ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬‬

“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.” — ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬‬

“Everyone knew it was impossible, until a fool who didn’t know came along and did it.” – Einstein

Solving the 8 Body Problem Unlocks Epic Harmony!

“The most common way people give up ⬆️ their power is by thinking 💭 they don’t have any!” – Alice Walker (exclamation point mine! Hah!)

“The ordinary man sees all as a blessing or a curse; the warrior sees all as a challenge!” – Don Yaqui Proverbs 19:21

“You can make many plans but the Lord’s purpose will prevail…”

“Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”” — ‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭7‬:‭29‬‬

* “David was always there.,. I just chipped away the excess…” – Michelangelo

** “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation— the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me, who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from the man of violence. For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing to your name. Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.” — ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭18‬:‭46‬-‭50‬‬

*** note:you don’t have to be perfect to start following God’s plan, With enthusiastic faith & courage to beat your biggest Goliath… yourself!

I will be a leader who Unites the world 🌍 in epic harmony, resulting in unprecedented peace, prosperity, & exhilarating achievements in all professions!!! I see glimpses of visions of Heaven, and the Angels whisper to me, “David! Heaven is more than a billion times better than all of your Earth bound wildest imaginations 💭 combined! Keep the Faith and persist without exception!”

Key 🔐 Note 🎵: you can teach people how to love ❤️ themselves by helping them discover: 1. Their core (heart) values 2. Their unique (gifts from God) skills, talents & aptitudes 3. Then help them discover their mission, and inspire them to create a dream 💭 vision of a fulfilling life, using their talents to help inspire the world to create Heaven on Earth for all of us!

My Prayer 🙏 to God: Dear God, I Forsake the Seven Deadly Sins of Ego, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, & Sloth.

Please 🙏 Forgive me for all of my sins!

I will joyfully serve God in every sacred breath, for the purpose of inspiring the world to create Heaven on Earth forever and ever, for the Glory of God, Amen 🙏!

**And Selah, for Great>>>>>Great>>Supah>>>>>Great Grampaw King David, thank you 🙏 for inspiring me with your pure & enthusiastic faith in God, I love you 💕 too!

“They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense—the work of a perfumer.” — ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭37‬:‭29‬‬

In infinitely small & large ways, Heaven is such a vast improvement upon our ways, so it requires the Jesus parable of “New wine skins of thought 💭”

Therefore … we need an entirely new framework of thought 💭, because our older mindsets aren’t capable of supporting such lofty & heavenly ideas 💡… yet!

King 👑 Solomon prayed 🙏 for Wisdom 🚲, which I believe is the concept of “Verstehen”!

* Verstehen = to SEEK to understand without your own judgment or values added (Max Weber) Translation of “understand” in this King David Psalm also means “who act wisely!”

“The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.” — ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭14‬:‭2‬‬

“If you want to study 📚 God, study 📚 nature 🌴 …” – Albert Einstein

Sui Generis = Dream Society is more than the sum of All of our infintely beautiful contributions (Emile Durkheim)

Anomie anomaly: “When you see a thief, you are pleased with him and condone his behavior, And you associate with adulterers.” • Psalms 50:18 When good people say nothing … Therefore, we must pray 🙏 for the courage to speak 🗣️ up 🔝 for all, the wisdom to “always give your ‘opponent’ a graceful way to exit their position”, and the joyful gratitude for the gifts to inspire the world to create an Everlasting ✨& Evergreen 🌲 Heaven on Earth, for all of us!

Utilitarianism = the best chess move for All of Us! (Jeremy Bentham)

Haha in sync ⏰ 🕰️ ✨ 🔐 🪨 Spock 🖖

“The strongest part of any system is its most flexible part” – Genghis Khan, about ‘tulugma’

Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe. —Lao Tzu. Tao Te Ching

Leadership is a matter of intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness, courage, and discipline … Reliance on intelligence alone results in rebelliousness. Exercise of humaneness alone results in weakness. Fixation on trust results in folly. Dependence on the strength of courage results in violence. Excessive discipline and sternness in command result in cruelty. When one has all five virtues together, each appropriate to its function, then one can be a leader. — Jia Lin, in commentary on Sun Tzu, Art of War[19]

World Visionaries on Gratitude 🙏 “Muhammad said that gratitude for the abundance you’ve received is the best insurance that the abundance will continue. Buddha said that you have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy. Lao Tzu said that if you rejoice in the way things are, the whole world will belong to you. Krishna said that whatever he is offered he accepts with joy. King David spoke of giving thanks to the whole world, for everything between the heavens and the Earth. And Jesus said thank you before he performed each miracle.” – Rhonda Byrne “Moved with compassion, Yeshua touched their eyes. Instantly they regained their sight and followed Him.” — ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭34‬‬ Tree 🌴 of Life ✨

***

“David, the very best thing you can do when you aren’t feeling that great about yourself is to look to help someone else!” – Mom

“David, you can learn something from everyone you meet, especially a homeless person on the street.” – Dad

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” – Goethe

“Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth,👄 but only such a word as is good for edification: * According to the need of the moment, so that it will give Grace to those who hear 📻 !” – Ephesians 4:29

“…let there be peace ☮️ on Earth 🌍🌎 🌏… and let it begin with me, by Lovingly Embracing & Forgiving All Our Neighbors 77x Times, And More!’ ~~~ ✨ Jesus ✨ Wisdom ✨ One of my very favorite parts of Church ⛪️… “My peace 🕊️ I leave with you, My peace 🕊️ I give to you!” John 14:27

to my children: I love you ❤️ a playlist by cloudsurf14 on Spotify

“Chess is the art which expresses the science of logic!” – Mikhail Botvinnik

“Ignorance, the root & stem of all evil.” – Plato

“Music 🎼 is the movement of sound 🔊 to reach the soul ✨ for the education 🏫 of its virtue🗽- Plato

“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work” – Aristotle 📚 🤩 🎨

Always 🌌 love 💙 and ✨ respect 🫡, David 🕊️

My mission is to teach the world how to love themselves & love others, for I believe that Inner Peace ✌️ leads to world 🗺️ peace ☮️

• This is the key 🔐 of David… All Are Beloved by God! Only when we can all see through the illusions of incorrect judgments we have made, will we see how gloriously gorgeous all of God’s creations are! And then we will all be free of the vicious cycle 🔁 of self destruction, and the empty space left from its departure will be happily filled with the virtuous cycle 🔃 of an everlasting peace 🕊️, prosperity, and fun abundance for All of Us! Yahoo! We will say with joy, we did it together!

•• “And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.” — ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭32‬-‭34‬‬

••• “The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” — ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29‬:‭10‬-‭11‬‬

•••• “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” — ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬‬

Ok3 wire logic: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬‬

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬‬

“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬-‭21‬‬

Checkmate in 3!

“Chess is the art which expresses the science of logic!” – Mikhail Botvinnik

“Once your faith, sir, persuades you to believe what your intelligence declares to be absurd, beware lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in the conduct of your life. ‘In days gone by, there were people who said to us: “You believe in incomprehensible contradictory and impossible things because we have commanded you to; now then, commit unjust acts because we likewise order you to do so.” Nothing could be more convincing. Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.If you do not use the intelligence with which God endowed your mind to resist believing impossibilities, you will not be able to use the sense of injustice which God planted in your heart to resist a command to do evil. Once a single faculty of your soul has been tyrannized, all the other faculties will submit to the same fate. This has been the cause of all the religious crimes that have flooded the earth.’” – Voltaire

EXATLY how to EMANCIP8 to “C”!!! Sketch ✍️ by David & GOLIATH, Hallelujah & Abundance to all my family, which is all of you!

Emancipate your mind first!

“Be the change you wish to see in the world 🗺️ “ – Gandhi

“Everyone thinks 💭 of changing the world 🗺️, nobody thinks of changing themselves… ✨ 💡 ✨ “ – Rumi

“Ignorance, the root & stem of all evil.” – Plato

“Music 🎼 is the movement of sound 🔊 to reach the soul ✨ for the education 🏫 of its virtue🗽- Plato

The Compassionate Eye 👁 When you can genuinely see the world 🗺 through anyone’s eyes 👀, this is what it means to have the vision of God… Thank you 🙏 for hearing me and thank you 🙏 for giving me the chance to hear another perspective so my vision may grow closer to God -/——•

The compass 🧭 guides you always towards compassion & contentment & kindness…

One of my very favorite parts of Church ⛪️… “My peace 🕊️ I leave with you, My peace 🕊️ I give to you!” John 14:27

“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.” — ‭> Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭15‬‬ “that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.” — ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭21‬-‭22‬‬ Always give your ‘opponent’ a graceful way to exit their position: “what’s done ✅ is done ✅” now let’s start fresh with joyful enthusiasm and faith that we only win as one!

Only when we can all see through the illusions of incorrect judgments we have made, will we see how gloriously gorgeous all of God’s creations are! And then we will all be free of the vicious cycle 🔁 of self destruction, and the empty space left from its departure will be happily filled with the virtuous cycle 🔃 of an everlasting peace 🕊️, prosperity, and fun abundance for All of Us!

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬‬ “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬‬ “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.” — ‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬-‭21‬‬ Checkmate in 3!
