Why did God?

02-13-10
Joey Poltor

So as you may or may not know depending on how avid of a reader you are, I have been writing a book for about three years. It is about my journey as a successful real estate investor to someone who cares more about life and less about the almighty dollar finally to a person who lives a happier life. I guess you could say that I am finally out of the "rat race". I am thinking adventure parable with my journal being some type of old manuscript. I will probably place the story 30 years from now and have 2012 happen, burying and destroying our current way of life. Tell me what you think about that possibility.

Now for my title and my question. Why did God kill all of the people in Haiti? Why do we have any natural disasters? Please dont write for population control, because I was there, and you do not know the feeling that was among those people. Also with that, why does God tell us to Honor our parents and then give us cheats and crooked people as parents. I havent spoken with my parents in quite some time, so this isnt just someone mad at their parents. In fact, they left my sister to fend for herself at age 14, when I first enlisted in the military.

Why does God kill innocent people in natural disasters and why are we supposed to honor people that dont deserve to be honored? Please help me out with his one.

Thanks

The Polphia Fund Helps

The Polphia fund is a charitable fund that we have created to help people in the time of need. We believe that every once in a while, good wholesome families come across difficult times and a fund like ours keeps them from crossing the line of debt. For most people, we all know this line, once falling over it you are caught up in a never ending cycle of late fees, collection attempts, and a terrible feeling of failure. In today's economy, every day all day long good people like you and me fall over this line and are unable to get back to their feet again.

We are a federal 501C3 and all funds collected will be used to aid these people that need the help.

The Polphia Promise is a promise made under this fund that a portion of our donations will go to helping the families of disasters. I recently spent some time in Haiti helping to get 66 Americans back to the United States. Using Haiti as an example, that was very solemn time, and I was barely able to help with anything. Of the few million citizens of Haiti, nearly 200,000 may have perished. It may be as close as 10% of the population. When I looked into the eyes of the children that I helped, I didnt see the fun and happiness that I see in my daughter yet I knew there was something there. What I saw was the fear and pain as if everyone on that plane lost someone or more than one someone. I saw a feeling of not knowing where home was or what was to come next. I saw fear that disgusted me with myself, as I knew that when I went home I would see my wife and daughter again and all I had to offer them was a smile and a hand.

My help was more than nothing but our promise and our fund helps people. We are helping people just like you and I before someone falls, before they have to say,"When I get back on my feet."

In today's economy, it is overly difficult to manage and we are all feeling the effects of the depression. A woman just down the street from my home, a grandmother, killed herself and her two grandchildren ages 6 and 6 months citing the depression as the main factor. If she would have called on the Polphia fund, we would have been able to at the very least given her other options.

So we are asking you, the reader, if you have some extra money and you believe in the cause that I believe in, please mail donations (check, cash, or money order) to;

The Polphia Fund

PO Box 50758

Summerville SC 29485

Thank you

Of course all of the applicants to our help have to go through a counseling session to determine whether or not they are deserving of our help. It is unfortunate but through our efforts we have met people that try to manipulate the systems and take advantage of our kindness. Please be sure that we are very careful in the aid that we share.

To me, there are people that use government aid as aid to better their lives. I mean the 20 yr old girl that has three kids because she has been living on her own since the age 14. She works full time, is in college and is a single mom. She deserves the aid. The guy who doesnt, lives in his parents basement, doesnt work, and had his social security claim denied twice as he is perfectly able to work a regular job. We do not help those who feel they are entitled or that they can scam the system. We do not help those who are nuisances to our way of life.

Please help us to help the people like us that need the help.

Polphia is my daughter's name Sophia Poltor.

Too much mind?

Let me just start this off by saying that this week has been an amazing week for us. My baby started crawling, my wife had a successful first interview with a great employer, we sold a trailer, I listed some property for a Prophet and I got promoted in Jiu-jitsu. It would seem as if we are really in line right now with what needs to be happening.

I know I have been talking about body, mind, and spirit for quite some time and it is really working. Emptying the cup, I know you have heard it, and being in the present moment can allow you to do anything. In Jiu-jitsu I have been feeling like I have been a bit behind the power curve and it has been because I havent had a clear mind. In everything, we are striving to be "in the zone" at all times.

Start with meditation, get in control of your mind, live in the present and enjoy every second of everyday. Life could end at anytime. Use Haiti as an example and realize that every one of these little trials are so insignificant in the greater purpose. Why do you care so much about nothing? It could end not tomorrow, but now if it is meant to be. Try to smile more, enjoy more, and really live life. Thats all I can say for now. Have a great day.

Im going to meditate, get control of my mind and my life, maybe you should do the same.

Mind, Body, Spirit?

Tell me what are you doing? Are you in control of your life in 2010? Mind, body, and spirit, what are you doing? My wife and I are working out 5 to 6 days a week for body. Mind, we are both getting back into school, I am going for my Masters in Leadership Coaching Psychology and she is finishing up her Poli Sci degree for law school yay;) and spiritually we have been going to church a couple of times a month to a non denominational christian church and are looking into maybe going to a buddhist group once a month or so.

So now that you know that I am trying to better myself, what are you doing?

Please comment!!! We can motivate each other.

Lucid Living

LucidLiving

Oh yeah the time has come to open up a whole new box of worms. AyAyAy! Can you get ready for this? This is the second blog of the lucidity series, and I just wanted to touch on a couple of topics that I missed in the first blog. Well, I cant think of them just this second so let us dive into the concept of living a lucid lifestyle.

Lucid in this sense is saying that you are completely aware or filled with awareness. It is my thought that we can control this lucidity as we can control it in our dreams in our every day life. Do you grasp that? From my previous blog in the series, you should know that and be practicing lucid dreaming. If you are not completely there just yet, please do not worry just continue practicing this art and it will grow. Lucidity is not an overnight success and I believe it will take me quite some time to master. How many times have you felt really in the moment? When did you last feel you were in the perfect place at the perfect time in your life. I dont mean sitting at coffee at starbucks and they just got your favorite mochachino. I mean everything was filled with great energy, earth shattering perfection in your life. You couldnt be more satisfied let alone happier.

I have noticed in my life that I have felt this on more than a handful of occasions and am working to consistently stay in this delightfully fulfilling feeling. I am looking to stay in this happiness forever. I think that it is the other 90%. I have read books about a forthcoming awareness and it may be true as this is a step in the right direction. Maybe in a hundred years people will consider me a prophet. I know that I am much different than most of the people that I encounter.

Your life doesnt have to be mundane, it doesnt have to be meaningless. You can have all that you dream of. A great stepping stone is learning how to control your dreams. After that, we are able to control the manifestation. It isnt just about asking for something over and over again. There is a science to manifestation and I am researching and learning more and more everyday. I need to create a lucidity logbook so that I can track these experiences more in depth. You should do so as well and send me your research. Help me teach the world this new age philosophy and create a better less violent more successful happier world. People that are lucid enjoy their lives more and in turn would not need to terrorize countries.

People working to constantly better themselves emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, etc will definitely create a better environment for everyone else. It is as simple as taking a walk instead of eating junkfood. The junkfood manufacturer burns less fuel in creating one less bag of junk and you feel better about yourself. You may say thank you to someone and that brightens their day just enough to smile at work which helps the boss to realize that he is able to keep that one other employee and the greed of the board is not as important as a young child eating. That employee doesnt know it but you just saved his family from starving and embarrassment and that entire office survived a bomb threat or worse. Thanks for putting down that junk food and going for a walk. That walk helped you to notice the beauty right there in your back yard and makes it just a bit easier to sleep at night, helping you to become lucid for an extra couple of minutes. Amazing how it all works, right?

You know the old saying," Every journey begins with a single footstep." and we are at the beginning steps of our journey. Walk with me?

I will write more when I know more and hopefully wont be too long from now. Thanks again for reading, you are the best, hey smile and go kiss your spouse, they deserve it. Tell them thank you, they deserve it. Im going to do the same because she deserves it.
