take_care_of_yourself :..S e e d S.:...o f...:.L i g h T..: Life is short and moves very fast. If you are raising a tree, and you neglect it in its youth, how then can it be strong enough to resist the windstorms of it's adulthood? You are trees of light, with branches of opportunity. So I am here to give you the secrets of taking care of the biological_soul_shell that is your body. Drink water, pure water, the source of all life. Exercise every day. For the past 6000 years we've adapted to walking everywhere and laboring everyday. Your body still needs that work, and it performs best that way. Eat a Healthy Diet. The beauty of creation is that God placed oranges and apples well within your reach, and there aren't thorns to snag you when you reach for one. (unless you like blackberries). Focus on self improvement, and thus, all of humanity is improved. Read, everything you can get your hands on. When you read, fill your soul with healthy food, don't fill your mind with garbage. Words of truth are food_for_the_soul . Words of fiction consume your time, but they can be entertaining. Relax, and enjoy the time here that you have, it is a gift. There are no standards to beat but your own. There is no pace to exceed but your own. Go at your own pace. Why RUSH? Life is the destination, and you are already there. Focus on giving love, not getting loved. This will take care of your wise distinction, and all of those around you will be blessed. If you exercise your body, your mind benefits. If you exercise your body and mind, your spirit benefits. If you exercise your mind, body, and spirit, your light glows, and the world grows. 010826 ... farmfish right on 010826 ... monadh peace 010826 ... pinkish drink more water 010826 ...

Before Neo can jump his mind must enter a new reality. At first, his mind will not accept Morpheous's understanding of the Matrix and thus he falls abrubtly upon the pavement. But after his mind accepts the essential nature of the Matrix, the question of "how far can Neo jump?" is replaced by "how fast can Neo fly?" Similarly, in the Book of Exodus, CH 14., Israel finds itself between a rock and a hard place. The Egyption army is at their backs and the Sea of Reeds rages before them. From the point of view of natural law, they are doomed, but if they can accept the existence of a higher reality, one of total spirit which ultimately makes and breaks the physical laws of the universe, than they can escape to freedom. "Go Forward," God commands. "Free you mind." 040206 ... hippy happy do what makes you happy. but you should remember that the mortality rate for non-smokers is still 100%, and prehistoric man, living exactly as nature intended him to, had a life expectancy of 30. 040206 ...
