It’s unfortunate when people enslave themselves within the idealisms of what they think happiness is, such that one’s agency is lost within the pursuit thereof. People often become so focused on what they’ve come to accept or choose to believe regarding happiness, they fail to consider what’s behind the push, which promotes the conceptualization of trade over trust, such that one’s time is given in hopes of achieving another’s ideological means.  

I’m of the opinion that a certain status quo, holds in covenant, embodying the image of self-edification, reflective worth, and grandeur over others, establishes an achievement of security. Thereby turning life into nothing more than a daydream, rather than a gift. Know that true happiness can only be achieved through the personal sacrifices of helping others, sowing seeds of fruition, and modeling the way. Not portraying the reflective imagery of what success is suggested to be e.g., status, cars, homes, money, material things, and even so-called intelligence.   

We know this already. We know that underneath the mask, the glamour and the hustle, there remains an abyss fraught with delusions. Whereas, by its acceptance, it ushers one towards falling into the belief that showing off, rather than showing up, is perceived as established, confident and or of happiness.   

Thus, when we all know what matters most in life e.g., community, and loving thy neighbor. Only, we can’t get over the enslaved ideology of what self-worth looks like e.g., the imagery of success, the boast of greatness, and the ever-exhausting portrayal of happiness.  

Think about it, happiness is not an object, nor tangible or a sustainable belief.  Happiness is intrinsic. It was embedded within your creation, thus remaining present to date, even from your first giggle as a newborn. Therefore, it’s a choice, your choice. If and only if, you choose to allow it back into your life.  

Understand, happiness is often portrayed and packaged, likened to a commodity, but it’s not. Happiness cannot be publicly traded upon an agreed notion or ideology. It cannot be given, taught, or materially sold. As stated, happiness is an intrinsic gift, embedded within the truth of one’s creation. Therefore, It can only come from one source, which starts with making that choice to reconnect within your blessed purpose, forgiveness, and acceptance of one’s life’s work.   

Considering the idealism of what happiness is, it’s more of an accepted ideological failure. Thereby, ambiguous within codependence, and further shoveled by the deceivers, who are poised to trade your time for their fallacies. 

The result is, the unaware consistently find themselves buried under the rubble of broken promises, wishes, and marketable interests. Awaken! Climb out of the fairytales, there’s no knight in shining armor, no magic spell or kiss, and there exist no prince that can fulfill in wedlock, true happiness over the gift of God’s embedment deep within your spirit. 

If you want the true version of happiness, it starts with a choice. Next, it requires one to ignore the rhetoric, turn from distraction, and abstain from temptations. Lastly, start digging.  – Reginald 

“They” are those, mute of intrinsic integrity. “They” remain ambiguously unknown, umbra and unidentified within the covenanted practices of sacral inequities. They seamlessly operate without regard, meaningful effort or unified collaboration within the unguarded minds, dread of embedded purpose. Those who are “they” shifts unchallenged within the impotence, fears, and vices of man’s brokenness, such that one’s temple defaults within erratic vacancy, void of soundness, thus, left unprotected and malleable within demonic influence. They are the shape shifters of one’s conscious immoral guise, readily available of any possession e.g., money, power or idolatry. “They” twist the blind minds of the abandoned, and upon degradation, they incarnate the next in line of the immorally indoctrinated, who’s rooted within the vileness of pseudo hierarchical dominance. They, who are those of no extended regard, hold no true power, rather they boast within the rhetoric and idealism of their own enslaved ideologies. Vexed in anguished, they are eager to cast their wiles upon the blind, the dogmatic, and grievously misinformed. They, who are those, are abstained from autonomy, yet gouges within the temporary glimmer of their lies, reflective upon the eyes of the blind. Thus, “they” are of the condemned, rebuttal of repentance, wrought within peril, bondage upon journey to seek out any remnant of man’s will, laid ruin within temple. “They” are the admitted legion, in which the pawns of blind, blissfully submits their power, potential, and purpose too, as we (the truth within power) remain distracted. Thus, turning from the unity of loving thy neighbor (e.g., community), as if a seat at the deceiver’s table is within human reach. 

Neighbors, the time has come to stop asking “who are they” for they are manifested and unveiled, tucked firmly behind the shadows of their pawns. In this, the question now becomes “who are we” amongst those who are “they” – who puppets, empowers, and possesses the pawns of denial with malevolent intent. – Pastor Reginald 

The math isn’t mathing, and you know it! Why? Because “those that are not,” fear their ideological worth is soon to be exposed. Unfortunately, instead of doing the humanly-intrinsic thing to do, they’ll cower away from asking to be forgiven, and settle within their own contentment as to foolishly believe no one notices. Thus, choosing to maintain within the comfort of their denial, hoping to camouflage their ignorance all the way to the grave; without ever atoning. This is why man’s “Earthly wisdom is blissfully overrated, and quite limited within their self-righteous achievements. Not to forget, their insatiable child-like wiles to manipulate and create the artificial e.g., food, education and so-called autonomous technological advancements – as if we need their guidance. Therefore, to be one must learn to intimately commune within the ontological spirit of God, such to navigate above the principalities of wickedness within this world. In this, eternity will be their precedence, as opposed to the indoctrinated fallacies, false ideological legacies, and sadistic trickery of their doctrines left behind.” – R. Gibson

 
Discernment alert! Be aware of your purpose. Yes, you call it sacrifice, but they call it lunch. Stop feeding your enemies, thinking you’re helping, when actually all you’re doing is enabling their cognitive dissonance. T

his is why my sacrifice is not an investment. I expect nothing (worldly) in return. Not from family, friends, foe or followers. This is why I say don’t follow me but rather, let’s have a conversation. Reason, if I default within the principalities of the world, I’ll not reap the spiritual powers of purpose. Such is the crux of my intent NOT to gain, convince others or exult self as an authority. Therefore, I expect not to be accepted, not to be understood or even trusted in the least, albeit the fruit of my labor is shown abound. Know that the eyes of wiles seeks only to consume, for they are devours in nature, lost within the calamity of their pseudo-entitled ideology. 
 
Therefore, regarding self, my calling will not be reduced to that of an investment, but rather an increased, per the willingness to lead by example, sacrificial only to the covenant God embedded within my spirit.

No AI. No seminars or collaborations. No fancy sales pitch. No “7 steps to become wealthy” self-help book/s. Just a note to self, scribbled in the a.m. of night on the back of an overdrawn check book. That’s what it took for me to accept, humble is thy way. Never forget the pain. Embrace the fear. Own your inadequacies and beckon the faith required to rise above the brokenness of self within societal debacle. Ask not, why your enemies, for they suffer more so in the dark, thus the attack on your light. Know this, rising often starts with humility, far before ambition becomes reality. From the notes I’ve written, I’ve learned this above all, my future, is no greater than my past, because I know the power within purpose is eternal. Regardless of status, gained accolades or idealized worth, nothing will ever be greater than that which God embedded within my (our) spirit. Sometimes, the next big or best thing to do is pause, revisit the humility. Was that your calling, or was it just a note – to self? – Pastor Reginald
