A Beginning is a Good Time to Know.
Murphy’s Law is the scientific and proven theory that there are an unlimited number of ways we can fail. That’s Truth we’ve witnessed by our own experience. We have an extensive body of research on the subject.
Understanding is the Truth that’s taken to heart, when we’ve witnessed the Truth all along.
The most certain way to fail is to place our faith in the hands of the devil.
We may think that we would never do such a thing. Yet, every time we claim the devil’s lies are the truth, we are claiming the devil is the highest power. When we cling to despair, we’re obeying the lie.
The devil is a spirit the same as God is a Spirit. We believe in Spirits if we claim either one is the truth. God speaks through Beauty and Light. The devil speaks as our doubts and fears. We have to choose which Spirit we will serve.
The Top 5 Ways to Fail
1 Kings, Chapter 19 shares the story of Elijah’s failures. He’s a perfect example. Beyond all his failures, he ascended to heaven without having to die to reach the end. God completed the impossible for Elijah.
2 Kings 2:11-12 – Elijah’s Ascension, While Walking with Elisha
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more.
Elijah’s failures…
- He was afraid and he ran away. He obeyed the fears imposed by Jezabel.
Where would we go to escape a spirit that spends all its time tracking us down to tear our Faith apart? When we run away from the “impossible” we only add more fuel to the fire. That yesterday haunts us from the past every day, and can only create a darker day for tomorrow. - He compared himself to those who came before. He told God he’d had enough and that God might as well take him now, for he was no better than all the ancestors that came before.
If we compare our self to “everyone else in the world” we are saying we’re just like them. First of all, not everyone surrenders to the ways of the world as the only way to win. We’re all different. By our own choice, we can be among the chosen by our own choice to stand. - He blamed his plight on others. If not for those who have who had broken the covenant and torn down the altars, he could succeed.
We break down the way of Right Relationship with one another, including those that could be a help in times of need. We follow an order to be divided from the rest. - Dwelling on our feelings of loneliness leads to failure. Elijah proclaimed, “I’m the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”
- Exaggerating the truth of our problems leads to failure. When we look for sympathy, we exaggerate by way of “our side” of a story. We may speak some Truth, but we fail to provide the whole truth and context of an experience. If we accomplish the end, a whole circle of people will validate every other lie we obeyed.
One failure always leads us to another, escalating our inevitable descent to the devil’s biggest lie that there is no reason and no possible way to resolve the problem.
God’s Truth doesn’t depend on second-hand knowledge or a grapevine to spread the Word. He didn’t carry out His work, hiding in the shadows of another Human Being. He put the Word in writing, and proves it on every scale of discernment we could look to see. Sometimes we don’t look to see when we’re convinced we’ve “heard it all before,” and it didn’t change a thing. (Another lie from the devil.)
God is the Truth from the Alpha to the Omega. There is something good in every experience of life, even our failures. Our failures teach us “what not to do.”
There’s an unlimited number of ways we can fail. There’s only One way to win. All we have to learn to never fail is that One Way. From an objective point of view, in spite of all the ways we can be wrong, we only have to learn the One Way to know all our Good Dreams are Possible. That makes it far easier to win than to lose.
Mark 9:23
Jesus said to him, 23 “As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes.”
If we believe in the spirit of evil, it should be just as easy to believe in a Spirit of Goodness. The Earth is God’s Creation and The Creation is Beautiful no matter how close or how far away we look to see. All things are possible for God. Nothing is impossible. And, nothing is impossible for the Holy Spirit that was written in our Soul.
“Impossible” can be a good thing for Human reasoning. What we tell the Holy Spirit is impossible for us is the very thing the Holy Spirit was given to do.
The Maya wrote the Truth on the Earth/CABAN glyph as the 3 thoughts that lead us to the truth of Divine Possibilities. The 1st thought of Human reason is to “see what the problem is.” The 2nd thought turns to Human’s imagination, to consider how we can do the impossible. That’s the crossroad of Spirit and the place for the 3rd thought that requires a Leap of Faith.
All we have to do is choose the Highest One who shines a Light to see the Truth of everything, beyond our imagination.
When we stand in the fires that burn and wait on the Lord. That’s when the Holy Spirit will know we’re prepared to see a Miracle.
God says we Can. The devil says we can’t.
God said the Whole of us is Good. The devil says we are all no good.
God said he has a plan. The devil says there is no plan for us.
God says if we forgive, we win. The devil says that’s when we lose.
There are no exceptions to the Truth of God’s Word. If you can find even one exception to the “lies told as the truth” by the devil, there is no solid ground to believe anything else the devil has to say.
Our One Way is to call on the Holy Spirit for everything – not only the “impossible” but for everything “we think” is possible “our way” to reach the end.
The devil will be tracking our every thought and movement until this life is over. It’s best to stand in Silence and to speak nothing but the Truth when the devil comes to call.
We only have to Call to the Holy Spirit and turn over our Sacred Right to figure things out for our self. God promised that our Higher Self is connected to every Truth the Creator knows.
In the month of Elul we were called to David’s prayer of Psalms 27. If we follow, the first spoken words of the day would be the Truth.
Psalm 27:1
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
Be grateful when the author of lies is seen clearly. The Answer is written at the end.
13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
BLESS THE LORD, OH MY SOUL, HIS TRUTH AND BEAUTY NEVER ENDS.
PRAISE HIM FOR ME, ALL THE DAY LONG.
We were created in the image of God’s Divine Design. It’s said that the Sacred Geometry is the image of God, and that our Soul recognizes the Face of God. We’re all standing in the field. One of the hardest parts of an Abundant Harvest is gathering it in from the fields. God will come running with the blessings that overflow when we face the impossible.

2 Eagle/MEN (Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI) – Day 2 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
A GOOD DAY TO: Rise to a Higher Perspective
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.
