Keep the wolves at bay





There comes a time when we must stand and fight. Once more into the Fray. The last fight I will ever know. There is a pivotal point in a man’s life where he must look into the face of his predator and walk straight towards him with the same rapacious nature. Sometimes he must embody that which seeks to destroy him. If you haven’t seen ‘The Grey’ with Liam Neeson; you need to. * Spoilers Alert* 
    Below is the last scene of the movie. The plot... Liam and a group of others are stranded in the wilderness whilst getting tracked by wolves. The wolves eventually flank Liam into their Den. Realizing this, Liam begins to embody the predator. He nods to the evil he is facing. There is no one coming to save him. No where else to flee. He accepts his fate. He gets pissed! Liam then tapes broken airplane bottles into his fist and a blade taped into his other. He looks deep into the eyes of the Alpha. The shot then cuts to a close up of Neeson’s eyes. The last couple seconds of the movie you watch the spirit of his eyes shift. You can see war in his eyes.

 “The eyes are the window to the soul” - Proverbs 30:17



Wolves are endurance or coursing predators. They chase their prey, often over longer distances, sometimes even a few miles, in order to find the right animal or opportunity. Wolves exploit your weaknesses! They are grim opportunists. Wolves work on intelligence and collaboration. They are stalkers. They watch you from a distance looking for cues by way of senses to find the weakest point of attack. They will flank you and put you where you will be your weakest to defend against attack. 

The FEAR within you operates in the same manner. The kicker? You’re the predator and the prey. 
Welcome to the battle of dark and light. The Jedi and Darth Vader. David and Goliath. Kane and Abel. God and Lucifer. Moses and Pharaoh. Batman and Joker. Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos. Are you seeing a theme here yet? Are you paying attention? Why do you think we humans LOVE these timeless battles?! The ultimate fight of Good against Evil? (Read “Hero with a Thousand Faces”) See, our Spirit jumps when we hear of such stories or watch these movies! WHY? Because it’s all WITHIN US! 
“ALL THE GODS, ALL THE HEAVENS, ALL THE HELLS ARE WITHIN YOU” 

YOU ARE THE BATTLE, THE BATTLEFIELD AND THE SOLDIER. SUIT UP.

From Darkness to Light ~ Mike F.

“But if you will seek God earnestly, and plead with the almighty, if you're pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your prosperous state. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous your future will be”. ~ Book of Job From Darkness to Light....~ At a very young age I felt a disconnect spiritually. A lot of times I felt less then or that I didn't quite fit in. I would use sports to compensate or lose myself In collecting baseball cards. I started experimenting with weed and liquor in middle school. When I was a freshman in high school my step father passed away. That crushed me. The disconnect I felt as a child got worse and there was a void inside me that I could not fill. The pain led me to use drugs and alcohol on a regular basis. I was addicted by 16 years old; selling to support my habit. During this time I put myself in some horrible situations. I was robbed at gun point with a shotgun put to my head; not something ...

 The Tides of Life  tide /tīd/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: tide; plural noun: tides the alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the attraction of the moon and sun. The tides of Life flow endlessly for better or worse - to rise and fall - to live to die. The current hurls the tide. It is the currents function to move, to throw, to float, to create and the tide to lift the sea. Mother Nature has her function and it is always fulfilled. The Sea, void of tide and current is an abyss of stillness and would be a horizon of glass. It sometimes looks that way! That’s when we dive in and lift the weight of gravity off our shoulders! Hopefully swim with some sea turtles. How cool that we oppose a universal law - Gravity - in the ocean!? Gravity doesn’t go anywhere. It still has its hold on the Universe. It just simply doesn’t control us to the degree it does on land! Suhhh hahhh dude. Okay, back on script. Ocean ...

The Hideous Four Horseman

 Terror Bewilderment Frustration and Despair The four  pillars of collision . Let us bring these Horseman to life. They gallop upon us with rapacious intent. I open the gate tp these predators. I scream and cry of the misfortune i've brought myself. What have I done to deserve this?! I the bewildered one. Why? I must suspend the question of "why?" and face the fact of these Horsemen. See, asking the question of "why?" will NEVER give me the answer. I must accept the reality of being surrounded by the hideous four horseman. If I desire freedom I must look into the black abyss thier hooded faces carry. Resistance will be fatal. "All the Heavens, All the Hells and Gods are within you." Joseph Campbell These Horseman are the Evil within me. It takes courage and grit to be willing to look into the darkest, most repressed parts of our psyche. We become dangerous when we resist and deny the evil within us. The Horsemen are powerful overwhelming forces with...
