Legalizing Marijuana

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart
and do not rely on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths smooth.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; 
fear Yahweh and shun evil.

Quote with included links to the source:
Through dialogue ("being positive and not negative"), social media (socialist media) negates the father's/Father's authority, creating a "new" world order of disobedient children, following after psychologists, group psychotherapists, facilitators, of 'change,' Transformational Marxists, ruling the world.
I am suspicious about the reasons for legalizing marijuana. The tactic of promoting it as a medicinal miracle I see as a tool used to touch one's heart and manipulate emotions and feelings, as well as promoting it as a big money source that can be used for community projects. It's the 'make ya feel good' approach.  It reminds me of what I once read years ago by Dean Gotcher from which I quoted above. Here is another quote from the same source:
Social media is the praxis of "Belial," which means "without a master," which symbolizes "true independence," "self sufficiency," and "personal accomplishment," which represents "the earth element," i.e., the child's carnal nature, Enlightenment in other words. "The ideas of the Enlightenment taught man that he could trust his own reason [his own feelings, i.e., sensuous needs and sense perception, i.e., sense experience, i.e., "self" 'justification'] as a guide to establishing valid ethical norms and that he could rely on himself, needing neither revelation [the Word of God, i.e., the father's/Father's commands, rules, facts, and truth] nor that authority of the church [the Son of God, Jesus Christ] in order to know good and evil." (Stephen Eric Bronner Of Critical Theory and Its Theorists) The Word of God warns us: "Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness." Luke 11:35 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15
While reading that I thought of what Y'shua said as recorded in Revelation regarding the hatred towards the deeds of the Nicolaitans. They believed in the freedom of the flesh and taught that the deeds of the flesh had no effect upon the health of the soul and had no relation to salvation. They believed that faith alone, not obedience to the Instructions of Yahweh the Father, was necessary for salvation. They could behave anyway they liked as long as they claimed to have 'faith in god'. 

I smoked pot in my younger years; I grew it in my backyard on occasion; I drank and partied with the best of them. It was a 'feel good' drug that made the world go away.  Just like alcohol consumption, smoking pot definitely impairs one's decision making abilities. Marijuana alters one's usual thought processes, diminishes moral attitude and opens one up to suggestions. It fades away inhibitions and blurs any vision of righteousness in the eyes of our Creator, among other things. In viewing this issue from my past years of experience, I cannot support legalizing it for any reason. It will be detrimental to society one way or another. I cannot help but think that there is a sinister reason for this to even be a topic of consideration. Americans have been dumbed-down and now TPTB want to dope up the rest.  If people are stoned, laid back without a care, lost in music or art or each other, TPTB can carry on with their plans of world dominance without any interference. Fake News will be just that much more believable to a bunch of stoners. I believe that the USofA is the 'superpower' the rest of the world wants to see come to an end, and drugs could be part of the plan.
"We know how to change the opinions of an individual in a selected direction, without his ever becoming aware of the stimuli which changed his opinion." "We know how to influence the ... behavior of individuals by setting up conditions which provide satisfaction for needs of which they are unconscious, but which we have been able to determine." "If we have the power or authority to establish the necessary conditions, the predicted behaviors [our potential ability to influence or control the behavior of groups] will follow." "We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

The Dusty Sandals FB Collection

I have decided to copy and paste the 'Best Of My FB Page' right here in my old blog spot, like pasting photographs in a scrapbook, for future reading and reference. This will be a lengthy post with various topics, links and what-nots so get your scrolling skills sharpened.

Have you heard of Dean Gotcher of Authority Research? His experience and explanation of 'group think' shines a bright light on understanding how people have become who they are in this country.

Quotes from Dean Gotcher's website Authority Research :

"Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Y'shua Messiah." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Articles on Diaprax === (The dialectical process put into praxis)
There is no Father's authority in dialogue, only equals.
Therefore, in dialogue, no one has a sense of "guilt" for disobeying the Father
since, in dialogue, there is not Father's authority to feel "guilty" about disobeying.
It was through dialogue (the use of the dialectic process) that Satan was able to deceive the woman in the garden in Eden, and every man since.

Y'shua Messiah would not dialogue with the devil, instead he preached and taught the words of His Father, "It is written ...." and He calls all who are His to do the same.

Isn't it strange that no matter how clear you make the truth, people still refuse to see  it, having to accept it by faith, even though it is in plain sight for all to see. Our love for the things of the world, i.e. seeking to become at-one-with the world, in pleasure, in the 'moment,' blinds us to the love of Our Heavenly Father, who chastens us, that we might partake in His holiness (and eternal life).

The Story of the Four Thieves

The thieves were actually spice traders and merchants who imported spices, including cinnamon and clove from India. When the Black Plague hit, all international shipping and  trade was closed down. Unable to do business, these spice traders quickly ran out of money and had to find a way to support themselves.

Since people in the communities were afraid to touch the dead bodies, they decided to loot the homes and bodies of the plaque victims. They would take clothes, jewelry, pots and pans, and then barter or trade them for food and money. They knew they wouldn't get sick if they rubbed vinegar, oils, and certain spices all over their bodies.

When the King heard about the story of the thieves he wanted to know their secret. He wanted to know how they were able to touch dead bodies without getting sick! How did they protect themselves from the dreaded disease?

He sent his Constables out to capture them. Four of the thieves were caught and brought before the King. He gave them a choice to either share their secret formula of "immunity" or be burned at the stake. The four thieves decided to share their secret formula with the King. The King immediately posted the thieves secret formula all over the town. Hence the story of the four thieves.
Here is one recipe that I have used for 'clearing the air'
Ingredients:
40 drops Clove Bud essential oil
35 drops Lemon essential oil
20 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
15 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
10 drops Rosemary essential oil
Directions:
Mix all essential oils together in a dark glass bottle.
This blend is strong and should be diluted, 6-12 drops of essential oil can be added per 1 oz. of carrier oil such as almond or olive oil.

Lessons to be learned from sayings in which truth is cloaked.
Also known as
Proverbs

Learn wisdom and discipline.

Understand words of discernment (be able to separate truth from deception). Acquire discipline for righteousness, justice, fairness and success. Endow the simple with the ability to have sharp insight in practical affairs, and the young with knowledge and foresight.


If sinners entice you, do not give in, do not go with them. Keep your feet from their path - it leads to evil.

Make your ear attentive to wisdom and your mind open to discernment.

If you seek understanding and discernment, search for them as if you were searching for treasures, then you will understand the fear of YHWH and attain knowledge of Him. He is a Shield for those who live blamelessly.

You will understand what is right, just and equitable because wisdom will enter your mind and knowledge will delight you. Foresight will protect you and discernment will guide you and save you from the way of evil men.

So follow the way of the good and keep to the paths of the just for the upright will inhabit the earth, the blameless will remain in it. The wicked shall vanish from the land and the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
