Blaming ‘bad people behavior’ on the man made up myth of “the devil”

this is not the devil… it’s worse… because it’s real

Recently in Africa,

there was a minister that was preaching about so called “evil”,

Basically blaming ‘bad people behavior’

on the man made up myth of “the devil”.

This perspective rolls right into another wrong view

that one must take up arms against such perceived “evil”.

To add more emphasizes on this wrong view,

He addressed his church holding an AK 47 machine gun!!

Don’t fear this man made up myth – Face bad people behavior in a realistic way

These sort of wrong views are soo far from

Divinity, Grace and what most people call “God”.

This is how wars and famine are perpetuated.

I hope that in your lifetime,

You will see the fruits of your labor fulfilled,

for the betterment of all humanity.

In the traditions I resonate with,

Nonattachment to the outcome of my good will is called…

Unconditional Love.

The Bliss of Grace that we receive

just from doing ‘the right thing’, is what we need for

a happiness that is unaffected by the outcomes of ‘bad people behavior’

or any materialistic challenges.

This can be considered close to the ineffableness of Divinity…

And it feels like Grace.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
