The Divine Comedy of Spiritual Timing: A Slightly Sardonic Guide

In the grand, cosmic dance of life, where every step is a leap of faith and every leap lands you in another lesson, there's one beat we often miss - the rhythm of timing.

Ah, timing!

That elusive, often infuriating, and utterly divine aspect of our spiritual journey. For those treading the path, seeking enlightenment, or just trying to get through the day without spilling coffee on themselves, understanding the essence of timing is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. But fear not, dear traveler, for today we embark on a slightly sarcastic, yet profoundly sincere exploration of this mystical concept, guided by the illuminating light of LifeInSynergy.com and the unparalleled wisdom of Helena and Brian.

Helena and Brian Collins, the spiritual Gandalfs of our age, have been navigating the murky waters of wellness with the grace of a swan and the resilience of a pair of waterproof socks. As award-winning spiritual teachers who've helmed wellness businesses in Boston for decades, they've not only seen it all but have also helped their countless clients see it too. And by "it," I mean the luminous lightbulb moment when you realize that timing isn't just about showing up at the right place at the right time; it's about being open to the experience when you inevitably arrive at the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong time, and occasionally, by some miracle, the right place at the right time. Let's face it, in the realm of spiritual pursuits, timing is less about precision and more about patience. It's not a Swiss watch but a slowly blooming flower, revealing its beauty not when we demand it but when it's good and ready. And this, my friends, is where our dynamic duo, Helena and Brian, with their synergy-infused wisdom, remind us that the Universe doesn't own a wristwatch. Through their teachings on LifeInSynergy.com, they've shown us that the real pump of spiritual growth isn't about timing the market of enlightenment but about investing in the process, regardless of market conditions.

So, what can we learn from the sage advice of these spiritual titans and their legacy of light at LifeInSynergy.com?

First, that trying to control the timing of your spiritual awakening is like trying to teach a cat to meditate. Sure, it sounds like a great idea, but you're probably going to end up with scratched furniture and a profound sense of bewilderment. Instead, embrace the divine comedy of your spiritual journey. Laugh at the missteps, celebrate the detours, and remember that every moment is precisely as it should be, even if it feels like the Universe has a quirky sense of humor. So my spiritually inclined friends, let us walk forth with the knowledge that in the grand scheme of things, timing is not something to be mastered but to be marveled at. Let us be patient, let us be open, and above all, let us keep our sense of humor intact as we navigate this beautifully chaotic dance of life. And remember, when in doubt, seek the wisdom of Helena and Brian Collins, the spiritual compasses who remind us that the true essence of timing is found not in the ticking of the clock but in the beating of our hearts.

For more timeless wisdom and to learn from the masters themselves, visit LifeInSynergy.com and immerse yourself in the teachings of Helena and Brian Collins. Because in the end, dear seekers, it's not about when you arrive but the grace with which you embrace the journey.

Navigating the Waters of Change: A Lesson from the Frog's Tale

In the journey of life, we often find ourselves facing challenges that seem insurmountable, obstacles that feel as if they are beyond our control.

It's in these moments that we're reminded of the age-old parable of the frog in a pot of water. As the legend goes, if a frog is placed in a pot of water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger of the rising temperature and will be boiled alive. This metaphor serves as a powerful illustration of how we, too, can become complacent in situations that gradually worsen, failing to recognize the need for change until it's too late.

At LifeInSynergy.com, we believe in the power of recognizing and embracing change, not as a force that overwhelms us but as an opportunity to grow and transform. Much like the frog, we can often find ourselves becoming accustomed to the "heat" of life's challenges, whether it be in unhealthy relationships, unfulfilling jobs, or self-destructive habits. We adjust to these incremental increases in discomfort, telling ourselves that we cannot change our circumstances, that we are powerless against the external elements of our lives.

However, this belief is a trap—a mental barrier that confines us within the boiling pot, preventing us from seeing the possibilities that lie beyond our current situations. The truth is, unlike the frog, we have the capacity for self-awareness and foresight. We have the power to recognize when the temperature of our lives is rising and take proactive steps to leap out of the pot. To foster this ability, we must first cultivate a mindset of resilience and empowerment. This begins with self-reflection, taking the time to assess our lives honestly and identify areas where we've allowed ourselves to become complacent.

It requires us to ask tough questions:

•Where have I settled?

•What fears are holding me back from making a change?

By confronting these questions head-on, we begin to dismantle the illusion that we are powerless.

Next, we must embrace the concept of personal agency. Every day, we have the choice to make decisions that either keep us in the pot or help us to escape it. This doesn't necessarily mean making drastic changes overnight but rather, taking small, consistent actions that move us in the direction of growth and fulfillment. It could be as simple as dedicating time each day to learn a new skill, seeking out relationships that uplift and support us, or setting boundaries that protect our well-being. Moreover, it's crucial to surround ourselves with a community that encourages and inspires positive change. Just as a frog might need a nudge to leap out of the pot, we too can benefit from the support and encouragement of others. Whether it's through engaging with the LifeInSynergy community or finding like-minded individuals in our own lives, being around people who share our values and goals can provide the motivation we need to initiate change.

In conclusion, while the tale of the frog in the pot serves as a cautionary reminder of what happens when we fail to notice the gradual dangers that surround us, it also offers a message of hope. It reminds us that we are not bound by our circumstances, that we have the capacity to recognize when change is needed and the power to make that change happen. Let us take this lesson to heart and strive to be proactive in creating lives that are not only survivable but truly thriving.

Together, let's leap out of the boiling water and into a life of synergy, where every challenge is an opportunity for growth and transformation. Why? Because despite having many heads up many butts, we all live on one planet and if we don’t wake up to this fact and continue all of this insanity, racism, hatred, rage and sexism, we will all surely croak.

The Dance of Hidden Desires: Unveiling Our Inner Truth

When we discover a Life in Synergy®, the BS we hold inside as the only creator of reality is tossed and sent packing…

In the journey of self-improvement and spiritual growth, one of the most profound challenges we face is aligning our inner truths with the persona we present to the world.

It's a complex dance, often mired in the fear of vulnerability, where our deepest desires remain cloaked under a veil of alternative intentions. This discord between our inner truth and outward expressions can lead us down a path of emotional dissonance and, frankly, bullshitting the world – and ourselves. At the core of this issue lies the fear of vulnerability. Expressing our true desires and intentions can be daunting. We fear judgment, rejection, and misunderstanding. In a world that often values strength over emotional honesty, showing our true selves feels risky. This fear compels us to wear masks, to present a version of ourselves that we believe is more acceptable or appealing. When we choose to hide our true desires, we often resort to what can bluntly be called bullshitting. It's a defense mechanism, a way to navigate social interactions without exposing our authentic selves. We may agree when we disagree, feign interest, or even fabricate stories that align with perceived societal norms. This art of bullshitting, while it may offer temporary comfort or safety, distances us from our true essence.

The Consequences of this Inauthenticity

Living inauthentically has profound consequences. It not only hinders our personal growth but also affects the quality of our relationships. Connections built on half-truths and concealed desires lack depth and authenticity. They are like houses built on sand, vulnerable to the tides of change. Embracing our inner truth is a courageous act. It requires self-awareness, acceptance, and the willingness to be vulnerable. This journey isn't easy. It involves confronting fears, unlearning conditioned behaviors, and often, facing societal backlash. However, the freedom and authenticity it brings are transformative. In the realm of spiritual growth, aligning our inner truth with our outward expressions is paramount. It's about shedding layers of ego and societal conditioning, and bravely stepping into our authentic selves. This alignment is not just about honesty with the world, but honesty with ourselves. It's recognizing and embracing our desires, our fears, our strengths, and our weaknesses.

The path to revealing our true desires and intentions is a crucial part of our spiritual and personal development.

It's about breaking free from the chains of inauthenticity and embracing the vulnerability of our true selves. As we embark on this journey, we find that the most profound connections and growth come from a place of honesty and authenticity. Let's have the courage to stop bullshitting the world, and more importantly, ourselves. In doing so, we not only transform our own lives but also bring a deeper, more authentic connection to the world around us.

Care to find your TRUE self?

Stay tuned, we changed formats on our new you tube channel and are currently compiling topics to be discussed on our soon to be, no bullshit, tell it as it spiritual and enlightenment channel for those who desire to not only live in this world, but create peace in it while they do so.

The Illusion of 'Being First': Embracing a More Enlightened Approach to Success

Stepping on others to be first, shows the world that you are truly last.

In today's fast-paced world, where the race to be first often eclipses the journey itself, we need to pause and reflect on what truly matters.

The desire to be first, to have the most, and to stand above others, is frequently seen as a symbol of strength and success. However, this pursuit can be a sign of underlying weakness, a lack of inner balance, and a disconnection from a more enlightened state of being.

The race to be first is deeply rooted in material success - the most money, the biggest house, the latest gadgets. It's a race that never ends, as there is always something newer, bigger, or better. But is this a true measure of success? Material possessions are fleeting. They bring temporary happiness, but they cannot fill the void of spiritual emptiness. In this context, the need to be first is not a strength but a reflection of inner insecurity and a craving for external validation.

True strength lies in contentment and inner peace. It's not about having all the toys but finding joy and fulfillment in what we have. This doesn't mean abandoning ambition or not striving for improvement. Instead, it's about recognizing that our worth isn't defined by our possessions or our position in a societal race. When we detach from the need to be first, we open ourselves to a more profound sense of happiness. We start valuing experiences over possessions, relationships over rankings, and personal growth over public recognition.

The pursuit of being first often leads to a solitary journey, where the focus is on individual achievement at the expense of collective well-being. But what if we shifted this perspective? What if success was measured by how much we contribute to the happiness and growth of others? Imagine a world where our goals are not about having more than our neighbors but ensuring that everyone has enough. This shift in mindset fosters a sense of community, empathy, and mutual support. It's not about diminishing personal success but about redefining it in a way that benefits all.

Enlightenment is about transcending the material race and finding a deeper, more meaningful connection with the universe. It's about understanding that our true essence is not defined by what we have but by who we are and how we impact the world. To be enlightened is to see beyond the superficial markers of success. It's to recognize that our true strength lies in our ability to uplift others, to share our blessings, and to live in harmony with the world around us.

In conclusion, the need to be first and have the most is a sign of weakness, not strength. True strength comes from inner balance, contentment, and a desire for collective well-being. As we strive for personal growth and enlightenment, let's redefine success in a way that nurtures not just ourselves but the world around us. Let's celebrate not what we have individually, but what we can achieve and share together.

A big heaping of word food for mind hunger, dont ya’ think?

Macro and Micro Consciousness: The Collective Mindsets

Macro consciousness can be likened to a vast, interconnected web of thoughts, emotions, and experiences shared among larger groups – be it communities, societies, or even humanity as a whole.

This concept is not just about shared beliefs and values; it’s an exploration of collective experiences and the communal psyche.

Cultural and Societal Influence: Macro consciousness is shaped by cultural, societal, and historical contexts. For instance, the collective consciousness of a nation is influenced by its history, traditions, and shared experiences, like a national tragedy or a period of significant prosperity.

Global Consciousness: In a broader sense, macro consciousness can extend to a global scale, reflecting the shared experiences and challenges of humanity, such as climate change awareness or global pandemics.

Technological Impact: The advent of the internet and social media has significantly amplified and altered macro consciousness, creating a more interconnected global community.

Micro Consciousness: The Individual Experience

Micro consciousness, in contrast, is the individual's internal experience – their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and perceptions. It’s the personal lens through which one views the world, shaped by personal experiences, upbringing, and individual traits.

Personal Perception and Reality: Micro consciousness is deeply personal, often subjective, and can vary greatly from one individual to another. It's how we interpret and react to our immediate environment and personal experiences.

Influence of Environment: While unique, micro consciousness is also influenced by the external world – including the macro consciousness of one's community or society.

Spiritual and Psychological Dimensions: Micro consciousness also encompasses the spiritual and psychological journey of an individual, reflecting their inner growth, challenges, and realizations.

Intersection and Interplay

The most fascinating aspect is the interaction between these two forms of consciousness. They are not isolated but deeply interconnected.

• Influence of Macro on Micro: Societal norms, cultural beliefs, and collective experiences significantly shape an individual's perspective and life choices.

• Contribution of Micro to Macro: Conversely, the collective consciousness is a tapestry woven from individual threads. Each personal experience, idea, and belief contributes to the larger picture.

• Evolution and Change: Both forms of consciousness are dynamic and evolve over time. Changes in macro consciousness can lead to significant shifts in individual perspectives, and vice versa.

• Spiritual Perspective: From a spiritual standpoint, this interplay can be seen as a dance between the individual soul and the universal spirit. Both are essential to understanding the complete picture of human existence and experience.

Hmmmmm, macro and micro consciousness are two sides of the same coin, each reflecting and influencing the other.

The study of these concepts not only offers insights into human behavior and societal dynamics but also provides a deeper understanding of the individual's place within the larger scheme of existence. This interplay is crucial for personal growth and collective evolution, embodying the essence of both individual uniqueness and universal interconnectedness. Apex Life in Synergy online study of the self addresses a vast array of knowledge from a person who simply is reguritating information, no repackaging…..you owe it to yourself in your lifetime to discover who you can become.

You may think that Life in Synergy® offers just another “self help” program, but think for one second that when you pass away and you meet ascended beings. These masters of energy ask “ Did you HELP shape reality on earth or did you replay the past?” We have walked the walk for the past 30 years and NEVER deviated from the tasks at hand despite headwinds of Cyclonic proportions…so we are not bullshitting at all, we know that there is MUCH to all of this.

The time is NOW to shift the future, or sit on a tack and complain for the rest of your life…

Embracing a New Horizon: A Personal Declaration of Compassionate Detachment

A Life in Synergy® starts within.

As I sit to transpose the whirlwind of thoughts into structured sentences,

a familiar serenity washes over me. It's the calm before the storm of revelation, a moment that always prefaces the pivotal decisions in my life. My love Helena, the only one who has walked with me through countless musings and has stood by my side as I've grappled with the weight of the world, will understand the gravity of what I'm about to share.

The truth is, I've arrived at an understanding, a pivotal shift in my journey.

There comes a time when the mantle we choose to carry becomes too heavy, not for the lack of strength, but for the enlightenment of the soul. The mantle I speak of is the unspoken vow I took upon myself to step into the arena of every battle, to take on all issues that the Earth presents with open arms and a willing heart. For years, I’ve let the global consciousness guide my actions, feeling the pain of every tree felled, the sorrow in every act of unkindness, the despair in each story of injustice. My days have been a reflection of the world’s chaos, a microcosm of the larger tapestry of human experience. I endeavored to be a healer, a beacon of light, to take on the suffering and transform it within the crucible of my spirit.

But here's the unvarnished truth – one soul cannot and should not bear the brunt of all worldly woes.

This is not an epiphany born out of exhaustion or despair, but out of profound love and respect for the collective journey of humanity and the individual path I walk. I am stepping back, not out of the fight, but into a different stance. I am not abdicating my role as a participant in this global village, nor am I suggesting that I will turn a blind eye to the suffering and challenges that permeate our existence. Instead, I am choosing to engage with these challenges with a renewed perspective — one of compassionate detachment.

Compassionate detachment is not about indifference or passivity; it’s about engaging with the world judiciously, acknowledging that I am but one thread in the intricate tapestry of existence. It's about realizing that I can be of greater service by uplifting my own spirit and in turn, creating ripples of positive energy that have the potential to inspire change in others.

I will continue to stand for what I believe in, to extend a hand where I can make a difference, and to lend my voice to causes that resonate with the truth of my heart. But I will do so with the understanding that I am part of a greater whole, that every individual has their part to play, and that the evolution of our collective consciousness requires each one of us to be whole within ourselves first. In this new chapter, I will focus on empowering myself and others to become agents of change within their own realms. By doing so, I can contribute to a world where the burdens are shared, and the responsibilities are shouldered not by a single individual, but by a community of souls working in synergy.

To my dear companions on this journey, let’s not see this as stepping back, but rather as stepping up — into greater self-awareness, into a more sustainable form of engagement, and into a deeper trust in the flow of life and the collective power we hold when each of us stands strong in our own light. Until next time, let's walk each other home with gentle steps and open hearts, ever committed to the good that we can do, not just the good that we wish we could do.

With a heart full of love and a soul re-ignited by purpose,

Brian Collins

The Butterfly Effect of Our Actions:

How Causing Pain Reverberates Through the Universe

We've all heard of the butterfly effect—the idea that a small change in one part of the system can lead to significant changes in another.

This concept, often discussed in the realms of chaos theory and physics, has profound implications for our daily lives, particularly in how our actions affect others and, by extension, the world at large.

The Ripple Effect of causing Pain

Imagine throwing a stone into a calm pond. The impact creates ripples that extend far beyond the point of contact, affecting the entire body of water. Similarly, when we cause someone pain, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the impact reverberates.

The person we hurt may go on to hurt others, either as a way to cope with their own pain or simply because their emotional state has been altered. This creates a chain reaction, a series of ripples that can extend far beyond our immediate circle.

The Karmic Cycle

For those who believe in the concept of karma, causing pain to others is not just an isolated event; it's a karmic debt that one accrues. This debt doesn't just affect the individual who caused the pain; it impacts the collective karma of humanity. In a world already fraught with suffering, adding to that collective burden has far-reaching consequences.

The Interconnected Web of Life

We are all connected, not just by social networks or familial ties, but on a much deeper, metaphysical level. Some spiritual philosophies suggest that we are all part of a single, universal consciousness. When we hurt another, we are essentially hurting ourselves, and this pain resonates through the collective consciousness, affecting the overall well-being of our planet.

The Power of Positive Actions that repair

The good news is that the butterfly effect works both ways. Just as causing pain can create a ripple of negative consequences, acts of kindness, compassion, and love can generate a wave of positive energy. By being mindful of our actions and striving to make choices that contribute to the greater good, we can counterbalance the negative ripples we've set in motion.

Wrap it up already

The butterfly effect teaches us that our actions, no matter how small, have consequences that reach far beyond our immediate environment. By being aware of the impact we have on others, we can make more conscious choices, not just for our own well-being, but for the collective well-being of all life on Earth. So the next time you're faced with a decision, consider the ripples it will create for ALL.

Choose wisely, for the sake of us all.

Tik-Tok Desire and the Glitches in the Matrix of Manifestation

The ol’ manifestation machine not giving you want you expect?

Well Hello dear Life in Synergy® readers!

Today, we are here to playfully explore the crisscrossing dimensions of time, desire, and the trend du jour, manifestation. Or, as we like to call it, the Bermuda Triangle of the human condition. Let's start by taking a ride on the Time-Train, shall we?

Tick-Tock, It's Time O'clock

Time, dear friends, is one of those concepts that feels as slippery as a greased pig on roller skates. On one hand, we’re bound by it. Time rules our routines, deadlines, and the ominous 40 or so hours we have to spend pretending to work each week. I mean, do we really work that much, or is Candy Crush just that good?

Yet, on the other hand, time is also abstract. Time is an illusion, as the great Albert Einstein said. This is the same guy who devised a theory of relativity while working in a patent office, so who are we to argue? But does it mean that the 5 minutes you spend stuck in an elevator with someone chewing garlic-flavored gum is as illusory as Einstein's hair in the morning? Or is it just...longer? Einstein, we need a follow-up, please.

You Want, Therefore You Are

Now let's sail over to the Island of Desire. Desire, you see, is the fuel that ignites our Time-Train. It's what gets us out of bed in the morning. Or, for some, the thought of freshly brewed coffee or the panicked realization that you overslept...again.

But desire, like a mischievous imp with a twisted sense of humor, often toys with us. One moment you're lusting after that shiny new smartphone, and the next, you're standing at the recycling center wondering how you ended up with a drawer full of outdated tech. "But it has a better camera," you say, desperately trying to justify your choices to a trash can.

Manifestation, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Quantum Flapdoodle

Now, coming to the current trend: manifestation. Oh boy, isn't it fun to think that by simply visualizing a Lambo in your driveway it'll pop into existence faster than a pimple on prom night? What a splendid notion! I mean, who needs hard work, perseverance, or even basic human decency when you've got the Cosmic Catalog at your fingertips?

Manifestation, often portrayed as the VIP access to the Universe’s vending machine, is currently riding high on the trendy wave. It's spiritual consumerism at its finest, with the world reduced to a celestial Amazon, ready to 'Prime' deliver your every whim and fancy.

But as enchanting as it might sound, manifestation comes with its own set of pitfalls. It's like when you order a bean bag chair online, picturing a cushy seat of cloud-like comfort, only to receive a package that could fit in your pocket, containing a DIY origami kit instead. You could say you manifested something alright. But was it really what you wanted?

When Time, Desire and Manifestation Do the Tango

When time, desire, and manifestation intertwine, it can become an unpredictable dance. Imagine, if you will, a ballet of two left feet. Time steps on Desire's toes, Desire accidentally elbows Manifestation in the face, and Manifestation trips over Time’s untied shoelaces. It's more slapstick than Swan Lake, but it's our dance, folks.

The primary pitfall is the trap of instant gratification that the manifestation trend seems to promise. After all, when time is an illusion and desire is endless, why shouldn’t we have our vegan, gluten-free cake and eat it too, immediately?

The trouble begins when our dancing trio loses its rhythm. We start believing that we can fast-forward the Time-Train by sheer will or that our every ephemeral desire must be instantly gratified. What happens then? Well, like any badly choreographed dance, someone gets kicked in the shin.

The Witty Conclusion

In the grand comedy of life, the union of time, desire, and manifestation is like an absurdist play directed by a capricious trickster. It's confusing, it's paradoxical, and yes, it's also quite funny.

So, the next time you're manifesting that beach vacation, remember to check your desire's baggage at the door and time your moves just right. And remember, even if you end up with a beach ball instead of a beach view, it's all part of the cosmic gag reel. In the meantime, we are now off to manifest a coupla’ ‘cupsa of coffee. Wish us luck! If you hear tales of an aging enlightened couple accidentally starting a coffee pot revolution, know it was all in the pursuit of the perfect brew.

Until next time, keep those desires in check, be patient with time, and “manifest” responsibly!

A Divine Perspective: The Almighty's Musings on Free Will and Human Foibles

Representation of positive change and hope

The Power to Change: A Divine Call to Action

Greetings, my beloved children.

It's your old friend, the Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, the Big Kahuna in the Sky.

I thought it was high time we had a little chat. Now, don't worry, this isn't one of those "fire and brimstone" talks. I'm not here to smite anyone. I just want to clear up a few things. You see, I've been watching you all, as I always do, and I've noticed a trend. Things are getting a bit... chaotic down there. And I'm not talking about the fun kind of chaos, like when I decided to give platypuses venomous spurs just for giggles. No, I'm talking about the kind of chaos that makes angels weep and saints facepalm in celestial frustration.

Now, before you start pointing fingers and blaming me for all the mess, let me remind you of a little gift I gave you. It's called free will. Yes, that's right. You're not puppets on a string. You're not pre-programmed robots. You're beings with the ability to make choices, to shape your own destinies. Isn't that wonderful? But here's the thing about gifts: they can be used well, or they can be used poorly. And lately, it seems like you've been using your free will like a toddler uses a permanent marker - with reckless abandon and a complete disregard for the consequences.

Take a look around.

The planet I designed for you, with its beautiful mountains, lush forests, and sparkling oceans, is being treated like a garbage dump. You're chopping down trees faster than I can grow them and pumping out more carbon dioxide than my poor plants can handle. And don't even get me started on the plastic. I mean, I created dinosaurs, and you turned them into shopping bags. Really?

Then there's the way you treat each other. I gave you diverse cultures, languages, and traditions to enrich your experience on Earth, not to be used as reasons for division and conflict. I mean, come on, folks. You're all part of the human family. Can't we all just get along?

And the greed... oh, the greed. I provided enough resources on this planet for everyone, but some of you are hoarding wealth like it's going out of style. Remember that whole "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" thing? Yeah, I wasn't kidding about that.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But God, why don't you just fix everything? You're omnipotent, right?" Well, yes, I am. But that's not the point. The point is that you have the power to fix these problems yourselves. You have the intelligence, the creativity, and the capacity for compassion that you need to turn things around. You just need to choose to use them.

So, my dear children, consider this a gentle, divine nudge in the right direction. Remember, I'm not mad, just disappointed. But I have faith in you. After all, you're made in my image, and I'm pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Use your free will wisely. Take care of the Earth and each other. Show a little kindness, a little patience, a little generosity. Trust me, it'll make all the difference. And maybe, just maybe, you'll make this old deity proud.

Until next time, stay blessed and remember: I'm watching. Always watching.

With all my divine love,

God

Who knew? God writes blogs? well how about that?
