The Infrastructure’s Guide [基建指南] by 岛里天下 Chapter 2
Updated: Apr 7, 2021
The rain gathered on the massive tree leaves until they bent under the weight. Qiu Juan was struck on the shoulder by one of these several liters heavy downpours and felt a stinging pain. The soft rabbit fur hung wetly in his hand, so soaked by the rain that it was no longer fluffy.
His thoughts were now dominated by the image of Kong Jia and Tang Tong mingling. In the rain curtain, where no one was watching, the corners of his eyes, which had always been unyielding, were seared red, and the sorrow in his pale eyes couldn't be hidden.
He had the scent of the male's breath on his body. If he was really separated from Kong Jia, no decent male would ever be faithful to him for the rest of his life. Overall, no male would accept that his partner had the smell of other males unless this male was extremely powerful and could suppress the former male's breath.
Despite the fact that there were many strong males in the tribe, most of them already had partners, except for Kong Jia.
While the sub-female dared not to demand too much from his partner, Qiu Juan still wished that his partner was only his.
In the face of this blow, he had lost faith in his partner, and his steps in the rain had become so clumsy that he unintentionally stumbled on a sharp branch split by the previous lightning strike.
Qiu Juan hissed, his feet sagged, and he collapsed to the wet ground. The bunnies in his hand had also fallen to the side.
He flopped out of the puddle and sat on a collapsed tree stump. When he lifted his aching foot, he discovered a thumb-thick wooden stick jammed in the middle of his foot. He clenched his teeth and yanked the branch out. Withdrawn, the blood spurted from the wound and dripped down his feet.
The searing agony jolted the desperate person out of his stupor. The forest was riddled with continuous flashes of lightning, which was extremely dangerous. In fit of mad idiocy, he had charge outside in this weather. What would his mother do if anything terrible really happened to him? While blaming himself, he went to get the dropped rabbits and prepare to return home.
The rabbits had rolled down on the mound of blackened branches. He had just picked up one rabbit by the ears and was limping to get the other one when the messy pile of black branches shifted. When he was wondering if he had seen it wrongly, the branches on the ground abruptly lifted, and a dark figure stood up.
A chimpanzee-like black shadow flashed in front of him. He recoiled, his heart pounding, and because of the injured leg, collapsed to the ground. Instinctively, he reached back with his hand to retrieve the spear he was carrying.
“That mothereffing guide!” The figure that emerged from the tree branches cursed.
Meng Sheng, who was charcoal black, stood dizzy in the middle of the shattered blackened branches, with a handful of crispy leaves sticking on top of his hair. He shook his heavy head and exhaled a puff of black smoke, which made him feel a little more clearheaded.
Raising his hand to wipe his face, he brushed back his hair and was shocked to see an aborigine pointed at him with a spear. His back turned cold. He clenched his fist, reflexively wanting to subdue the aboriginal, but first, he watched to determine what the other one would do.
Suddenly, he recognized the other man.
"It turned out to be you."
Meng Sheng had been in this majestic environment for over a month, but this was the first time he had spoken to the tribe's inhabitants. For one thing, he's accustomed being alone and doesn't bother paying attention to these locals. The second reason was self-protection. He was a field explorer prior to this, but he ended up here by accident.
As soon as he crossed to this primitive world, he witnessed a weak native being swallowed by a beast. After confirming that he truly was displaced to another world, he used a mysterious “The Infrastructure’s Guide” to lead him to the eaten native's cave and let him pretend to be one of the aboriginals.
Fortunately, the original primitive not only had the same name as him, but he was also a feeble male. He spends most of his days with his head down and seldom went hunting. He'd spent much of his time alone. His presence was weak, and almost no one paid attention to him. He just had to keep his head down to keep the image. Despite the fact that the cave's owner changed, while wearing an ugly headpiece, no native found out
The current native in front of him turned out to be his cave neighbor. Meng Sheng saw this sub-female the most among the locals.
When he went out to hunt today, he picked some fruits. He wasn’t sure if they were edible, so he simply called out his guide to ask questions. How could he have anticipated that "The Infrastructure's Guide" would serve as an electrical conductor and draw lightning on a stormy day?
The lightning crashed towards him. Fortunately, he immediately closed the guide, allowing the lightning to be redirected to a nearby tree, taking away the brunt of the power; otherwise, even a powerful individual would have turned out as nothing more than smoking ash.
"Who are you?" Qiu Juan on the ground stared at the upright male and didn’t recognize him.
As he saw the sub-female's surprised expression, Meng Sheng cursed wordlessly. He had forgotten to portray the weak original in the prior excitement!
Since he had been seen, he didn’t hide, but instead tried his luck: "I am in the cave next to yours."
"Meng Sheng?" Qiu Juan asked incredulously.
The male grumbled under his breath disdainfully: not my day.
Qiu Juan opened his mouth to comment that this was the first time he had seen him raise his head, but he realized it was impolite to do so, so he closed his mouth.
Meng Sheng was used staying unseen, therefore he wasn’t surprised by the sub-female’s reaction.
Since there was no threat, Qiu Juan relaxed and withdrew the spear: "I'm sorry, I thought it was a beast."
Meng Sheng cast a sidelong look at him, pleased to see that Qiu Juan really accepted it. Since his neighbor believed it, he wasn’t worried that other natives wouldn’t.
He didn't react to sub-female's words and walked straight out of the pile of tree trunks, but the blood on the ground drew his attention.
"Are you injured?"
He squatted down and saw blood oozing from sub-female’s heel. Her eyes were also bloodshot, which was most likely due to pain.
In truth, when Meng Sheng first saw Qiu Juan, he thought the aboriginal looked very much in line with his aesthetic standards, especially the light-colored eyes when they shone with fortitude.
However, after many encounters with him, he found that he was always walking alongside another male. After learning about the tribe's customs, he had to give up his appreciation in his heart.
"Where did your partner go?" he inquired again, as the sub-female had yet to react.
Meng Sheng's words were entirely unintentional. He was unaware of what had happened to Qiu Juan. He simply thought it was very irresponsible of the male to allow his sub-female to go out hunting during the thunderstorm when he was not present.
Qiu Juan's tone changed when he heard the word partner: "I can do the same things without a partner!"
He rose up from the stump. Rain washed out the blood under his foot, but the wide leaves underneath had already been dyed red.
Meng Sheng's brows furrowed. "If you walk back like this, your foot will be useless."
"Don't frighten me. My usual hunting wounds are much more severe than this."
“You hurt your heel -” Achilles tendon! But he didn’t say out loud the latter because people here didn’t understand anatomy.
As the rain continued to fall, he cast a glance at the animal skin skirt that covered the sub-female. If he held him on his back, they would have too much of skin to skin contact.
Without any charming thoughts, he said to the sub-female in front of him, “You stand and lean on me. I’ll help you get back.”
Qiu Juan was obviously stunned, and he took a few steps back.
"Don't worry, I'll take my breath away so as to avoid misunderstandings between you and your partner." Without allowing Qiu Juan to retort, he took the sub-female’s arm and draped it over his shoulders.
Qiu Juan had always been a reserved sub-female, and he had never been so close to anyone, not even Kong Jia.
His face instantly burned, and he wanted to flee as soon as possible. But the male, who always appeared frail out of nowhere, had turned powerful and firmly buckled him. The male's brows furrowed in dissatisfaction as a result of his struggle.
"Let go!" Qiu Juan's tone changed to alarm as he realized there was a significant difference in strength between himself and the male.
He was the kind of person that was concerned about his reputation. If others saw him with other males in an easily misunderstandable situation, they would make wild guesses and spread rumors.
The two people's hands and shoulders were touching. Meng Sheng initially had two sets of clothing, but in the forest, he wore animal hides to avoid needless trouble. Now that the two people's skin was touching, he naturally felt the sub-female opposing and restlessness.
He patiently said: "On a rainy day, the tribe retreats to the caves. Nobody is going to pay attention. Furthermore, what happens if they did see it? We are doing nothing wrong. But if you dragged alone your wounded foot, you might encounter danger on the road. You’ll only worry your mother more.”
When his mother was mentioned, Qiu Juan, who had been agitated, was far more at ease. He'd been gone for a long time, and his mother had probably been pacing around the cave all this time.
This time he stopped struggling and kept his mouth shut.
Seeing this, Meng Sheng increased his pace. While sub-females were marginally smaller than males, a sub-female like Qiu Juan should not be underestimated when it comes to resisting. Meng Sheng had just been struck by lightning, and his mind was still a bit murky. If the sub-female next to him made another fuss, he would most likely knock him to the ground.
He took long strides when he abruptly recalled something and inquired.
"By the way, what was your name?"
Qiu Juan was taken aback: “You don’t know my name?”
"I often stay in the cave. Nobody told me."
Although his answer was far-fetched, Qiu Juan seemed to believe it and breathe a sigh of relief.
Qiu Juan assumed that a male who didn't even know his name had no affection for him and was acting only out of kindness. In turn, he sympathized with the male, who seldom engaged with the tribe and was most likely lonely.
"My name is Qiu Juan."
Meng Sheng nodded, "A very good name."
After these few words, the two remained silent for the rest of the journey. As they arrived near the cave's entrance, Meng Sheng let go of Qiu Juan.
“I’ll be going now.”
Qiu Juan took two strides towards his cave before turning his gaze to Meng Sheng, who was still standing in the rain. His dark cheeks had been washed clean by the water. At this moment, his true appearance was revealed, and it turned out to be no less handsome that of Kong Jia.
In comparison to his usual hunchback posture, his straight body with broad shoulders and narrow wist appeared strong.
When he noticed that the person in the rain was also staring at him, he immediately averted his gaze, walked back lamely, and handed him one of the rabbits he was holding.
"Thank you, Meng Sheng."
Meng Sheng would never desire a sub-female prey, let alone one gained through injury.
Qiu Juan became anxious when he did not respond: "Please accept my gratitude! Otherwise, I'll be upset!"
Meng Sheng glanced at the sub-female, who was thirteen to sixteen centimeters shorter than him, and then at the wet rabbit in his hand. The fur was soaked, making it look shrunken, but this really helped one to see how fat the gray-haired hare was.
Perhaps this symbolized the self-esteem of the sub-female and he had little choice but to accept it: "Actually, you don't have to be so polite."
"Qiu Juan!" As the two stood facing each other, a sub-female's cry sounded from the cave.
"Mother!" exclaimed Qiu Juan as he turned around.
"Come in, it's raining heavily outside."
Meng Sheng nodded knowingly, and the Qiu Juan approached his sub-female mother.
He didn't plan on staying, so he walked back to his own cave.


CONNECTING PEOPLE THROUGH ARTICLES OF SUCCESS
EXPRESS YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Express Your Perspective (EYP) is a multi-faceted platform that engages people - including professionals & businesses - to offer unique interactive solutions that can help each person realize their true identity and express their unique perspectives. Our ultimate goal is to nurture thought processes that result in people doing what they love to do for the people they love in order to create a rich and long lasting legacy.
Growth is a decision. Period.
It’s an every-moment-decision to not want to stay in your current position, current lifestyle, or at your current capacity. You want to see more, experience more, know more, be more. The decision to grow could be fueled by infinite variables of circumstances, good or bad, but reasons aside the most important component of growth is discipline and consistency. It’s a promise you’ve made to your “better you”; the better version of you that will trigger someone else’s awakening, jumpstart an advantageous opportunity, or help heal someone’s pain as they now realize change is possible. The very comprehension of the probable impact of goals-achieved is what keeps one foot in front of the other. The path is set; time to walk it. It’s time to move!
A pivotal point in anyone’s progression is when they’re identified and recognized by others - more importantly, others who are on their own respective paths. In my personal journey, I’ve come across quite a few folks that I would consider “real life super heroes” - people who tend to operate on a higher frequency and are committed to owning their destiny. Published author and inspirational speaker, Eric L. Harrison, is one of those people.
Eric, like so many leaders, is no stranger to adversity or even failure. What makes him unique is his ability to fight his way back to his feet every time and excel when it matters most. From forming his own company, Express Your Perspective, to writing and publishing his first book, Lifestwists: Navigation for Life’s Winding Roads, to his recent family-friendly short film, Love & Legacy - Eric bares his passions and his wisdom as he looks to inspire the best in everyone.
We were fortunate to catch up with the Chicago native - now based in Houston, TX - and discuss multiple aspects of his newly found success. In a discussion about his progression, and how he’s found the capacity to accomplish more, Eric Harrison shares the following points in regards to his growth:
Establish relationships with people who challenge me and give me the information needed to improve my personal life and business acumen.
Focus on completing one thing at a time. I have created a system that allowed me to take my time and concentrate on prioritized goals and aspirations. This approach has given me measurable results that have taken areas in my life to the next level.
Made a conscious effort to invest in self-care; learning to pour into myself personally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. Focusing on my health holistically has set the proper foundation to build upon for ultimate success.
Align with organizations to address social issues that are close to my heart. As a heart attack survivor myself, I was excited to connect with and support the American Heart Association in last year. It was important for me to connect with others who share my story and will to persevere.
Examine my motives to ensure that my daily actions and interactions are being done for the right reasons. I fault myself for letting ego, low self-esteem, vengeance, and greed fuel my reasons in the past. From that, I’ve learned the importance of assessing my own energy and spirit so I can make decisions that match my true identity with integrity.

Noble Land Stewardship Program
The Noble Research Institute Land Stewardship Platform is intended to provide an institute-wide opportunity for collaboration within and among the Producer Relations, Applied Systems, Research and Education cornerstones. Additionally it will provide a mechanism for cooperators to capitalize on their land management activities and accomplishments. Capitalizing on land management activities comes in many forms, from simply having the site specific, real time information enabling timely economic decisions within their own operation to participation in industry partnerships with financial incentives.
The Land Stewardship Platform will focus on four management pillars which include:
1) Ecological efficiencies
2) Production efficiencies
3) Soil resource management
4) Water resource management
These four management pillars provide the framework for an effective land stewardship strategy and outline the direction of measured management activities at the farm level. All four management pillars are based on and encompass nationally recognized soil health building principles.
The functionality of ecological processes such as the carbon and water cycles are often the determinant of ecological health on agricultural lands. Furthermore, the impacts to ecological indicators such as plant cover, species composition, and biological diversity are largely governed by land management decisions (Teague et al., 2011). Biological diversity is commonly referenced within the industry as a driver of ecological health (Laurila-Pant et al., 2015). How those ecological indicators are managed outlines the production efficiency. Production efficiencies outline the relative amount of production balanced by the amount utilized. Soil and water resource management are principal to the success of any ecologically focused stewardship effort. Specifically, indices such as soil organic carbon (the main component of soil organic matter) have impacts across the ecological spectrum and are often utilized as quantifiable measures of biologically active and properly functioning ecosystems (FAO, 2017).
The foundation of this effort is enabling producers to be better land stewards. In order to capitalize on land stewardship activities and accomplishments, producers must have a management plan and be measuring on farm actions and responses. Through the Producer Relations consultation effort, a stewardship management plan will be the overall guiding document for each participant. The stewardship management plan will encompass all land uses on the operation and provide specific planned and scheduled practices that address resource issues and meet landowner objectives. The stewardship management plan must meet minimum stewardship requirements by land use as outlined by Producer Relations. It should be noted that this stewardship management plan is still a plan and should be flexible enough to deal with environmental fluctuations and market volatility.
It is often said that we cannot manage what we do not measure. The hallmark of this program is the on farm measurements defined in the monitoring plan outlining the agricultural and ecological benefits. These data must be searchable, reportable and able to be aggregated at the landscape scale. This defines the need for a state of the art Agricultural Database System. These data will be further refined within a producer portal, organized by stewardship pillar and utilized in ecological calculators defining ecosystem service values.
In addition to the consultation assistance and data management services, participating producers will receive a Noble Land Stewardship Certification. The certification process will verify, based on scientific standards, the stewardship principles and practices utilized by land use (i.e. rangeland, cropland, pasture, etc.). This certification label will be continual once accepted with a biannual certification review. The certification approval and recertification process will be conducted and approved by the appropriate Noble Research Institute consultation team. This certification will allow producers opportunities to receive industry specific premiums for their products and participate in potential ecosystem service financial markets as they develop.

Just recently, i came across a story while i was on twitter about a little girl who died and left a secret for her family to find. Now, i do not know how true this story is but the most interesting part of the story is “the secret” they said she had left behind.
I was gonna ask to hear some opinions but i have decided not to so i can still spoil the surprise. *Drum-rolls* please!… she left behind something i would call the “beautiful truth” but to clear the air of any confusion let me come right out and say it was a poem she left behind.
Now, i know some of you will probably be disappointed hearing this because “poems are boring” but trust me this one is pretty good. Its different from any poem i have read before even though i have not read much ;;. The reason being that most poems tend to focus on pain, lament, resentments or demise. However, this poem talks about the beauty of love, happiness and life from the view of a little girl not given the full opportunity to explore it all to the end. Let me go ahead and write it down.
“Happiness depends upon ourselves, maybe its not about the happy ending, maybe its about the story.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose. The difference between ordinary is that little extra.
Happiness is a direction not a destination. Thank you for existing. Be happy, be free, believe, forever young.
You know my name, not my story. You have heard what i have done but not what i have been through. Love is like glass, looks so lovely, but its easy to shatter.
Everyday is special, so make the most of it. You could get a life- ending illness tomorrow so make the most of everyday.
Life is only bad if you make it bad. Love is rare, life is strange, nothing lasts and people change. Life is a game for everyone but love is the only prize.
If someone loves you then they would not let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is. Remember that life is full of ups and downs, without the downs the ups do not mean anything.
I am waiting to fall in love with someone i can open my heart to. Love is not about who you can see spending your future with, its about who you cant see spending your life without. There is no reason to cry, because i know you will be by my side”.
All done! it was pretty good right, it stares up so much emotion and inspiration inside which brings up a lot of questions. Although, today i just want to talk about two. Firstly, when people say Y.O.L.O what do they really mean?
Let me start by saying that the basic meaning of the abbreviation is simply freedom for those who have not heard of this. You only live once. Regardless, people have began using this as an excuse to do shitty things. When i hear Y.O.L.O i honestly expect a life of excitement and purpose.
Secondly, i want to address the issue of not believing in Love. Now, no one is forcing anyone into believing something they do not want to believe in, but i want to ask you a simple question.
If you are not living for Love what are you living for? It is when this question is answered, that you can understand the concept of a “life with purpose”. Please bear in mind that there are different things one can love and not just Human beings.
With this i can finally tell you stated facts are that everyone should live and strive for something that will give your life purpose, love is inevitable, It comes in different ways than you realize, some people do not know this until it is late and Love is rare.
Having said all this, cherish love when it is found, fight for it, strive for and live for it because it is with love you find peace, it is with love you find happiness and satisfaction, it is with love you find purpose and with love we are all united as one. The cure to this scornful world we all sought to fix has been right in our faces the whole time, LOVE.
It baffles me that when issues such as religion, sexuality, racism, political views are brought up, they spur and stimulate so much hatred. it does not have to be that way because the one thing they all have in common is that they all deal with the uniqueness of individuality and until we learn to deal with that, this world will still remain the same. Nonetheless, if we really want a change, the only way to do that is to put our differences aside and show as much LOVE and care as we can.


Do you feel that the earth is rapidly coming to an end? Fortunately for you, it’s not just all in your head. There are groups of powerful people that make it their job to make sure you feel that way. Panicked people panic themselves further with the debilitating thought that the earth is irreparably doomed. Once you accept those debilitating thoughts into your mind you become easy prey for “the man” to exploit your mental weakness against you. The ocean may be rising, fires may be raging, and things may “seem” to be getting worse.
Be honest with yourself though, do you REALLY believe that humanity is doomed deep down? If you answered yes, you are most likely the victim of “debilitating thoughts.” Once you’ve been debilitated mentally, you stop questioning your surroundings and become susceptible to influence and persuasion by the powerful. After you’ve internalized their lies they can push their lies and shitty products to you unopposed. It’s easier to lie to someone who is scared and confused than one who is confident and well informed. Paranoid Echo Chamberers are well protected from Illuminati mind control having broken their chain of lies and know better than to adopt a toxic narrative into their psyche.
Obsessing and complaining about things you can’t control like climate change, politics, sports, religion is a humongous waste of your time and energy. Accepting challenging negative thoughts as truth is toxic to your ‘personal power.’ You do not control your surroundings, you only can control your response to your surroundings. It’s your choice to compose your worldview however you want, you can make mountains out of molehills or molehills into mountains with the power of thought alone. There have always been despots, dictators, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and more: that doesn’t mean you have to ruin your quality of life over it.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Is the ocean rising to humanities unquestionable demise, or are you anxiously awaiting your future life under the sea or in floating cloud cities? The ability to “shape your narrative” is a powerful tool accessible to anyone who chooses to try it. Does that mean that Paranoid Echo Chamberers refuse to accept reality on reality’s terms, turning a blind eye to the ugliness in the world? Not at all. The world always was and always will be a simultaneously great and awful place. It’s very stupid to think it’s one or the other, there will always be good AND evil – yin AND yang. Not Ying or Yang.
Your response to negative situations speaks volume of your character, you have the ability to choose how you respond. You can choose to ignore the latest round of idiotic memes, fake headlines, and focus on what’s really going on: like the Reptilian scum out to drain your vital fluids. They want your vitality stripped from your body, your critical thinking removed so you will be powerless to their lies.
So how can you fight back to regain control of your own mind? Stop focusing on the dog and pony show, start focusing on the reptilian mind control. They want your brain gone, they want you pissed off, unable to think like reactionary bees in a hive predictably falling in line whenever they swat at you. If you’re tired of feeling powerless, it’s as simple as rewriting your narrative and reading Paranoid Echo Chamber.
The reason that nobody questions their lies isn’t that the powers that be are such skilled liars, it’s that they control the narrative. It’s much easier to believe everything that they’re saying if everyone is saying it. If everything you know is a lie, how would you know the truth if you heard it? People will always believe “the big lie” over the smaller more familiar lie.
If you want to change your life for the better, but can’t seem to “shake it” ask yourself this: why do I believe them, why do I believe these crazy thoughts? What reason do you have to believe that what they say or you think is true? Why, Why and Why again? If you can’t see the “invisible hand” of Reptilians, Illuminati and Council of Undead World Business Leaders all profiting off your debilitating thoughts, confused broken mental state, you need to read more Paranoid Echo Chamber. The answer always lies within the chamber. Everything you need to live an unlocked, fulfilled perfect life lies within this URL.
You will see that the world is precisely what you make of it. Once you open your eyes to start questioning everything around you, things will stop seeming so confusing and scary. Once your mind can accept that it’s equally as possible that Reptilians are out to get you, you’ll be free of their mental prison. You may also resent yourself for being your own jailer for being so many years, but that resentment is going to lead to increased odds of recidivism back to the mental prison. If all of this feels like Tony Robbins self-help psychobabble, just know that’s a natural part of your mind clinging on to what little control it has over you. Most people deep down just want to be free from suffering, yet despite all their efforts the end to their suffering never comes. You may think that by having a safe life, a safe job, safe food in your safe fridge all of that will protect you and make you safe.
You own your brain, not the other way around. If you want your brain to shut up and do what the fuck you want it to do, you just have to radically change your thoughts, beliefs and spirit to cultivate the discipline to make sure you do more than just seek change with no followthrough. The truth of the matter is it really doesn’t matter if the world is actually going to end or not. You will die no matter what either way, everyone born dies eventually (except for Mike Pence). You can’t control life or death but you can control how you have the power to choose to react to things in life. If that doesn’t seem achievable, you are clearly under Reptilian mind control and would benefit from Paranoid Echo Chamber Anti-Mind Control Pills.

Turning your passion into your profession, it doesn’t need to matter where a person stands at the starting gate — be it novice, mature, formally educated or loaded up in street smarts, single, single parent, married, divorced, widowed, or if a person is considered, by today’s society, to be conventional or unconventional — opportunity can be carved out of one’s passion to operate, and to prosper in it.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20
Understanding the context of particular, individual Bible verses can sometimes be difficult to understand. They can be taken out of context to satisfy the point that a person is making, or to help a person who is in despair. Is this, I ask you, the way that the Bible should be read and understood? Let me say that this question is not in saying that there is a right or wrong to the question, just one that gets one to question. Let me take a couple different perspectives on this and see the benefits.
Baby steps! That is what we are told when we learn something new. When solving a problem we are told to break the problem down into smaller problems. These are valid solutions and would agree that this holds a great deal of truth to each of these. When it comes to memorization of the Bible, we are told that memorizing Bible verses will help us to have these particular verses at hand on a day to day basis, or when witnessing to another person. I recently started back up again with memorizing verses such as the one above. Different from previous times of learning to memorize Bible verses, this experience has taken me down a different path. Starting to memorize this verse led me to break down the context of this verse and wanting to know that context in full detail. Doing so has helped me to gain more of an understanding of the use of that verse and grasping the context for easier memorization. Context I believe has been the key to this type of memorization.
I started above to start to talk about context when learning a particular memory verse. In the past I would find it difficult to memorize a verse simply because I did not understand the context or the meaning of the verse. Sure it related to me and was an inspiration to certain areas of my life. But, what did it mean at the time that it was written? How would that meaning relate to me today? That is where the context matters. Knowing the context that led to that verse being included in the Bible for all of these years has meaning behind it for all that read and/or share the Bible.
When I think of how to share my life with others, I always end up trying to understand what it is that I would share with others. Would sharing a memory verse that I have from the Bible make that a difference during that time of witnessing? I have concluded that it would not. I have also concluded that it would not because I can not explain the meaning of the verse I am sharinfg with someone if I myself do not know the meaning. Memorizing a Bible verse has a great deal of significance in building faith, and can lead to a more knowledgable piece by piece of the Bible. Yet, if you take away sermons, other books, talking with other fellow Christians, what would those pieces be in understanding the context of the Bible? What relevance does the context of that book in the Bible that has the chapter with the verse in it have on today?
These have been questions that I have had since beginning to start to memorize verses again from the Bible. I have concluded that without knowing the context that surrounds the verse will not allow me to fully grasp what it is that I am trying to memorize. This verse above is a good example. If I was to memorize this verse without knowing the context that leads up to the verse, I would not be fully understanding of the verse and the meaning it has to my life and the lives of those who God will bring into my life.
With that said, let me give you the context of this verse.
Galatians 2:20 – The Context
Paul – formerly known as Saul – was with those is Galatia. Saul was the leader of those who gave there daily lives to persecuting Christians. God transformed Saul and led to the changing of Saul becoming a Christian and having a powerful testimony to share with others. When he became a Christian and accepted Christ as the Son of God, he was given the name of Paul. Paul was one of the apostles to Jesus. He was with Jesus when Jesus started his ministry and was there after Jesus was persecuted and killed. Another of the apostles of Jesus was Peter. The two of them went there separate ways after Jesus was crucified. In the beginning of Galatians the opening begins with an introduction to Paul being led to Galatia. The first chapter was devoted towards Paul sharing with those there that they have led astray from the gospel and have found another gospel to worship. I found myself wondering what it is that would have led them astray? Then I realized I can look all around me today and see the same thing happening. The second chapter started the context that surrounds this verse. Paul confronts Peter about how Peter is leading his life and living his live. These men were eager to share everything about Jesus and being there king while He was here on earth. Now that He was no longer in the flesh, was there any reason to lead a different life? This is what Paul was confronting Peter about. Peter was distancing himself from the Gentiles – those who did not know the laws of the religion. He would do this when he was in the presence of others that were not Gentiles. He wanted to not be seen as one who communicated with them nor one who was trying to share the gospel of Jesus with them. Paul did not understand what the reasoning is behind this. So when he confronted Peter, he shared with him what it was that he went through and had been going through to continue to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each and every day when Paul would go somewhere, anyone and everyone would at first be afraid of him because of his past. It was not until he was in their presence that they realized that he had indeed changed. This is where I can understand the beginning of this verse where he says that he has been crucified with Christ. Most anywhere that Christ would go to, there would always be those who were weary of Him and what we was proclaiming/teaching.
Adding onto the paragraph above I can see where Paul is sharing with Peter that he feels that it is no longer he who lives in the body but Christ instead. If each and every place that Paul went were afraid of him, and then felt a peace about him after meeting him, this must have been a feeling of peace for him as well. This peace could not have been from how he felt previously about the Christian believer. No, it was the peace that Christ said would be there when he left and was raised to Heaven. He – Jesus – promised to leave the Holy Spirit with anyone who believed in Jesus. This was the leading of Paul to believe that it was Christ that was sharing this peace with those who were afraid of Paul when he would enter a town.
This reading of the chapter 2 gave me the context of what led to this verse. The meaning made it clearer for me to relate how this verse gives context to my life. Without this context, I do not believe I would fully be grasping the reason for this verse that I am wanting to memorize. Having the context gives me more confidence that if there is a time that God uses me to share the Gospel with another person, the sharing of this verse at the right time would be clearer because of the context behind it.
Memory of the Bible is without a doubt the way to understanding our relationship with God, and the love that God has for each of us. Memorization of verses can be a small step in knowing about this love and how to love God in return. Understanding the context behind the verse is what can put all of the pieces together that will give a solid footprint that will last forever in your heart, mind, and possibly with another person that you share it with. This is what I have come to realize in my latest journey in memorization of the Bible. God bless you!


Hi Nick,for me a poem, a painting or a piece of music all originate from the same source. From an individual standpoint they may look different but all three have the power to confront us with ourselves and lead us back to the source they originate from. I guess the true mystery is shrouded by our perspective on things or at least our fascination with it.Rob
Rob, thanks for the post....and start a blog please so more people can see your great work!

Wow, I feel like this is the trillion dollar question, what we all are searching for, what we feel we get “close” to, but maybe there is still a part that feels missing …
Myself personally having had ALOT of sex, I feel like I can speak on this topic quite fluidly and honestly. After all it is my work, but it is also my passion in life. One quest my soul has felt to study, navigate, explore and question for many years.
And still each day I am learning….
And here I will share my views, and findings –
Mind blowing, toe curling, multi orgasmic heart opening sex is authentic. It isn’t something that can be acted, played out, is gender specific, can be planned or “made to happen” it certainly doesn’t look like the porn movies, and it can’t be ticked off a sex service list, infact when we do this we remove presence from connection, and go into our heads, which is basically death to connecting intimately. We have lost that moment of passion with our lover. We are no longer present.
To confirm here – I am not speaking about boundaries – boundaries between two consenting adults is vital For us to feel safe, relaxed and lubricated to open to one another (a key point to incredible sex)!
I always like to discuss this with my lovers prior to being intimate – so we BOTH feel safe. What I am talking about refers to placing expectation on another and ticking off boxes. Getting into our heads and away from presence, away from being in the moment with your lover and truly feeling all the pleasure that is available to you in that moment.
For me, amazing sex is when we can allow our bodies to really melt into one another, to not force orgasm and to relax into pleasure without chasing peaks, but more so finding deep pleasure in the slower moments. The intensity that pulses through my body and into my pussy when looking into each other’s eyes, the juiciness of having my ass caressed, the scent of my lovers skin as I kiss and lick them all over, the gentle whispers into my ear that send shivers of pleasure through my whole body, my pussy wet, pulsing and ready to be penetrated and licked just by erotic connection of breath and desire!
And of course orgasms are SO welcome, and multiple to be had. It’s just not THE single most important thing.
If we allow – Time starts to blur into one delicious melting pot of connection and pleasure (This is where ancient sexual practices speak of spiritual growth and reaching higher realms) it’s truly magic.
But to allow this type of connection, it takes time, trust, and actually taking things SLOWLY (An art long lost in modern times- and also a reason why I truly value long bookings) .
Now also a side note here, as human beings we also have an inner animal, a primal instinct of basically just wanting to fuck, tear each other’s clothes off and go straight for the big O, we feel sometimes it can’t be contained and sex can be pretty wild, basic, primal. AND there is also NOTHING wrong with this.
My point is just to state that this is not the only way to have sex, as this type of love making is really rooted in our base chakra, and doesn’t allow sexual energy to circulate through our bodies as slower more present sex does which can bring a whole heap more of pleasure and heart opening and healing energy to our lives.
I think it’s really important to not say one way isn’t better than the other, but from personal experience I’ve found that I’ve had much more profound experiences of heart opening and pleasure when I’ve come into full presence.
Also- I can speak for myself over the years that I was the complete opposite of my writing above for majority of my early 20s (I’m 28 now).
I chased orgasm, thought great sex was all about projecting my energy outwards, being an athlete in the bedroom and ticking every sex position you could imagine, not cultivating my own bliss, acting out being a porn star, and allowing my boundaries to be crossed- countless times- thinking this was what men and women wanted. But in truth, all I did was limit connection and pleasure for myself and my lovers.
When I got real and became authentic to my own needs and desires, I also allowed my lovers to be the same way. Vulnerability and surrender is a beautiful thing (And something I am still working on too ????
So there you have it my lovers, real, honest truths….
And again, I will tell you…
“Loving connection is the only cure”
So much love,

Listening to Laurie talk about nature connection was honestly so eye opening for me. The way she uses nature to relate back to our emotions and perspectives is so simple but transformational. She was personable on stage and told some really impactful stories.


I see Her standing there in the hall again,
and all I do is pray.
Pray that I might gather the courage to talk to Her
and wonder what I'd say.
As I pass her frustrated that I didn't say a simple "Hello"
I see Her smile in my direction
and my heart drops through the school hallway tile
as I try to hide my affection.
Walking away with now the same smile on my face
I'm glad She acknowledges who I am
I see her get in the car with her pot-smoking 'friend'
and watch them drive away as he 'turns up his jam'
I get on the bus and actually enjoy the ride home
as I walk away from my bustop and round the turn
I begin to cherish the time I get to think about Her
and thoughts marriage I begin to yearn
As I get inside and turn on the T.V.
I think maybe I should ask her on a date
Until I hear the news that a couple local kids died in a car crash
and I think, Too little, too late

Hello! My name is Lynn,
and I came upon a site one day,
and it has changed me Forever.
I met this most Amazing,
Inspirational and Couragous Woman
that I have ever known.
I would like to say a very heartfelt
Thank You to her and May the
Angels Watch Over Her and Hold
Her Tight as she walks through this Life.
This is Dedicated to Brenda,
who is on her Journey To God
I Met An Angel Today!
I met an Angel today,
and her name is Brenda!
The words she speaks is not that of saddness
but rather that of triumph and joy and all the
many blessings that have been bestowed upon her...
As I was reading her journal,
(Which she no longer has up
because someone was cruel to her)
I felt an awesome feeling...
of peace and a quiet stillness
even though she was telling
of how she is dying...
Brenda says her real pain comes
from watching the look in
her beloved friends eyes...
For it is there that her
prayers are said for the
This disease which is taken
control of her earthly body,
as Brenda puts it just a Blessing in diguise...
For only God knows how soon it will be when she walks
on to the Other Side, Safe and Sound in HIS Loving Arms...
She asks not for a miracle nor
an end to her suffering...
But praises the love that
surrounds and engulfs her.
The Lord must be working through
Brenda's illness, and touching
souls by even the thousands...
The words that she speaks through
out her journal, have somehow
burrowed their way into my heart
I will never forget this day
that I met this very Couragous
and Inspirational Woman I call an Angel...
So Many of us complain about the
littlest things in our Lives, until
we come across such as I and you
begin to wonder how could I complain...
For the Lord has sent an Angel down
to your side to show you it is not
what surrounds you but what is really
deep down inside that will matter
in order to get into the Gates Of Heaven,
that which will save your soul...
An Inspiration to all who come upon her
story of life and of her dying, A lamb of salvation
she is as if sent personally by God Himself...
Reaching out to touch our lives and showing
us all that it is really the asking of Mercy
and the Grace of God that will be
yours to hold in the end...
Beloved Brenda wrote this to me in a letter
so maybe this will help to understand.
"I have become more aware of the gifts that God
brings to our lives, to appreciate the little
things more sincerely and to let go of the big
things that are burdens that I am no longer
strong enough to carry...
I have no regrets, I do not feel as
though my life has been unfair although
there have been many times I have fallen
to my knees in prayer because
I did not understand...
Know that all things happen for a reason
even though today we may not understand...
One day the explanation does come
and we see things so clearly in its
own time and If I had but one miracle
I would give it away, because
I know there is someone out there
who needs it more than I...
Find strength in knowing that God loves you,
that he is always by your side,
that you are never alone and that
there are good people in this world
just waiting to be your friends...
God will show you the way to their hearts
and together you will sing and dance and laugh.
God Bless you my Beloved Friend".
She also states in her journal,
do not shed tears of pity for me...
No rather take what you have
been given and find the goodness and the
teaching that the Good Lord has blessed you with...
Yes, I met an Angel today,
and her name is Brenda,
BJ to all her Beloved Friends...
Bless you and keep you forever
in His Light my newly found Friend,
for I will hold you in my heart
forever and a day...
Written By Lynn with excerpts
in quotes from Brenda herself.
An Angel Wish
May angels rest beside your door,
May you hear their voices sing.
May you feel their loving care for you,
May you hear their peace bells ring.
May angels always care for you,
And never let you fall,
May they bear you up on angel's wings,
May they keep you standing tall!
Brenda, I know you had to give up your
Beloved Animals, because you are not strong enough
to take care of them any longer, so thought you
would like this. God Bless
Also, a very Special Lady,
named Connie, from Heaven
as she calls her beautiful site,
gave this gift to you. Connie is
also going to link your page
to her Special Angels pages.
We are all praying for you Brenda,
for with God all things are possible.
The Friend Who Stands By
When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavey load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm hand clasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry.....
God Bless the friend who just stands by.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power,
and the Glory, Forever. Amen
This was left in my guestbook
But no truer words will ever be
written about this beautiful woman
This is such a beautiful site.
I adore it.
Much love and caring went
into its creation.
Brenda G. is a lovely lady,
and the world is much greater
having her here.
Equally true, at her passing,
Heaven will be much richer than before.
Not many people have touched
so many lives in such a
loving and positive way,
on the internet,as Brenda(BJ) has.
God bless you Brenda and God bless
the Creator of this beautiful
Tribute to Brenda.
Love, Vi P

"Praise The Lord!"
"As always you have touched my heart
in a place where few have managed to
reach! You have humbled me to tears,
humbled me to my knees and humbled me
just to know that I may call you my
forever friend and may the Love of God
be as much in your knowing as He is
in mine. May the Compassion, Love and
Kindness that you show be a guiding light
for us all to follow. I love you so
dearly as much now if not more than the
day you created this page for me."

Welcome to my exclusive collection of comics created specifically around the topic of human irrationalities.
As a behavioural economics graduate and behavioural science enthusiast, I hope to document the essence of what it means to be simply human through my comics. These comic ideas are the result of my hyper awareness for being human in this crazy, messy yet beautiful world. If you find yourself enjoying these, please feel free to share it on social media, use it in your own blog post or with someone you know who will also find joy (or tears) in these comics. Just remember to credit me by either mentioning my name (Iris Deng, hyperlinked to my website) or tagging me on instagram @deng.it
Now, let me officially welcome you to my interpretation of an irrationally human world! So sit back, sip some coffee and sift through these comics at your leisure—as you do so, hopefully you'll be pleasantly reminded of what a bunch of irrational beings (aka humans) we truly are!
