INFIEARTH

We've been having InfiEarth for a long time now, and some of you may not really understand the true meaning of it. Why infinite earth? Why that name of all names? Is there more to it or is it just a name?

InfiEarth is not just a name. It an attitude and a way of life. It is a reaction to the world we live in. Our world has many problems facing it, some of which threaten it's existence.  Because we are not advancing fast enough, our world is taking punishment for it. The lack of growth and care is tearing the fabric of society. We are faced with pollution, global warming, natural disasters, hunger, poverty and pandemics. Not a week goes by without a headline concerning these matters.

We are all trying to get solutions but we fail to understand that our attitude is very important in solving this. We first need to believe that it is possible before we try to do it. We need a positive attitude and to foresee it happen. Once we believe in an infinite world where there is infinite possibilities and resources for all who live in it, then we can go onto the next step of being a solution. If each one of us were to dedicate ourselves, with belief, to bring solutions, then we will see our world become a better place.

Go out there and work towards an infinite world.

THE WORLD NEEDS LOVE

Everyday in the news, there's always a headline about someone doing evil. Right here in South Africa it is very bad. Gender violence and corruption are an everyday thing in the news. Different organisations are trying to tackle this issue but we still have a long way to go.

The world has lost it's universal fundamental of love. As existing entities in this world, we are supposed to be entities of love. Unfortunately for this generation the love is dead. People only give love when they will gain something. It's always "I love you because..." instead of "I love you despite...", and we wonder why our world has become what it is today. Individualism and self-serving people are harvesting each and every tool to spread this.

People think they are entitled to whatever they want, and when they do not get it they lash out at everyone. When they don't get what they want they play the victim part. People have become impatient and evil. And all this is because they let go of love. If we loved one another, then we would show care, patience and kindness. If we loved one another, we wouldn't have all the racial hate violence and crimes. If we loved one another, we would be able to forgive and not be so vengeful like the world has become. There is more people being vengeful, violence and evil because they can't forgive.

A world without love has no future. The people will eat one another to fulfill their selfish desires. Our world needs love. It needs love now more than ever. Our world is in desperate need of healing. It needs people who will love despite what happens. It needs people who preach and live love.

You don't have to start far. Start with the person next to you while you read this. Love them despite what they may have done to you or anyone. Show them love without expecting anything.

WITH LOVE...

LISTEN

Whoever said listening was skill knew exactly what they were talking about. It one skill that many do not have. It is a skill many are not aware or will not admit that they do not have. And it is one skill that can not be taught by someone else. It is self taught.

It's evident in our everyday life how much people never want to listen. Everybody only wants to be heard, but never wants to listen. We have so many differences today because people just don't want to listen. Everyone is imposing their view on others because they do not want to listen. Without listening you can never understand, and thus you can never assist. People go out creating all sorts of groups but never stop to listen.

Families are getting divided because nobody wants to listen. Everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs trying to be heard but they don't want to listen. Even if given a chance to speak, they still never listen. Most people just want to be heard, but never want to listen. One reason some people don't want to listen is because they do not want to face their reality. They do not want to be told the truth. So they choose to shout and shout, and cry victim when no one wants to listen to them anymore because they do give a chance to others to speak. And then everything goes south after that, because both sides will now want to be heard.

It has become like a disease that is destroying our world. People now have to take to the street and shout there, but sometimes nobody even bothers to listen. Even the people on the streets sometimes never listen. Listening is the only way to resolve matters and reach a win win situation. But we barely get that because people haven't been listening for so long that they have become selfish. Everyone believes they are right and their ways are perfect, and the other is wrong. And whoever disagrees is an oppressor. It has become a matter of  'Who can shout the loudest' instead of 'Who is right'. People follow the loudest because they do not want to listen. They want the noise, but do not want to listen. Logic and reason get thrown out many times because people do not want to listen.

I challenge you to start listening. Be calm, observe the silence and listen. Because in our lack of listening skill, we have brewed a disaster. We've become so bad at listening that we never stop to listen to ourselves.

Stop, be calm and listen.

WE ARE WHAT ARE BECAUSE IT'S WHO WE ARE

I was having a conversation with a friend I recently made. We were going on about life and what it's like to grow up, to love, to be kind and to be selfless. She is very selfless and kind. I too naturally tend to be very selfless and kind to others. I go out of my way to help others. However, I am not going to be writing much about the good things I do but rather addressing a common misconception.

When people are kind and selfless, sometimes it doesn't rub off well with some people. It might be envy or it might be outright hate, but you get people who criticise someone for being kind and selfless. They may even spread rumours to try and tarnish the name of the person. It's like they are in competition with the person yet do the complete opposite of what the person does. They want to be seen and given attention, but do not want to be kind to others. They want people to call them good, but go about with a self centered and selfish attitude. In the end, they end up saying the person is pretending, or the person wants to be loved. But what they do not realise, is that they are merely stating who they are. But sometimes, the good people get affected by this and may lose that magic of kindness, love and selflessness. The reason I am writing this is to encourage and remind them that they are who they are because it is who they are, and they are not pretending or trying to be loved.

Good people do what they do because it is who they are. They do it without expecting anything in return. The do a lot, and will never go back to remind the person they have helped. Sometimes the person they have helped may become too proud, but they still remain humble and never remind the person. They give people more chances than they deserve. Even if people do not notice their efforts, they do not notice it because they are not doing it to be noticed. Had they been doing it to be noticed, they'd have given up already because they barely ever get noticed for who they are. They are like the elephant in the room that nobody notices. And they keep doing what they do.

However, they are still human. If they endure too much abuse, they get to a point where they are fed up. They usually never say it, but rather cut off the person. And it hurts them to cut off a person, but to protect their sanity and to carry on doing the good work, they need to cut off bad energy. It is not that they bad or hold grudges. They just know what they carry and do not want anything to hold them back. It is okay to cut off the bad ones.  But always remember, they do not want to be loved, or given attention. It is simply who they are. However, appreciating them really encourages them to self sacrifice in quest of a better world.

SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE

Fire is a beautiful thing, yet deadly and dangerous. Just as too much of something isn't good, too much of fire isn't good either. But worry not, we are not about to start any real fires. Today's fire is a kind of fire that doesn't have "too much" of it. The more of it the better. It works best when you let it burn and engulf everyone around you.

We live in a sad world with sad people and often the energy is low around us. There's just so much going on that people have become detached from themselves. I am not judging anyone in anyway whatsoever by writing this. My aim is to spark a fire that will burn wildly.

There are things in this life that we need not buy nor have a lot of money to attain. These things are free from everyone and do not depend on any external factors. Happiness is one of those. It is a very powerful force that will give you complete control and power over your life. You do not need anyone or anything to be happy. Although it sometimes takes some practice to master being happy, it all begins with a smile.

You will be surprised at how much a simple smile can achieve. It starts with you smiling at someone and them smiling back at you, and the next thing you will feel this energy get invoked. That is the happiness lying dormant inside of you being awakened by simply smiling. Now to be happy, you need to smile daily to as many people as possible. By smiling, you naturally become nice and kind. It's almost impossible to be rude or bad towards someone when you are smiling. Smiling also gives you so much peace as well. The more people you smile at, the more people smile back at you, and the happier you become. The first smile is like a spark. The more you smile, the more you let the fire burn wild. Spread smiles like a wildfire and see how much happier you become.

In the end, you will have productive and focused days because you will be much happier. You mind gets defogged by the happiness and you tend to achieve much more by simply being happy. I must warn you though, that your days will feel a lot shorter because you will be enjoying every second of it and getting a lot of work done.

It doesn't take much to smile. Go out and smile. Spread like wild fire.

It isn't ours to keep

It has taken me years of observation, trying to figure out the cause of many of our world's problems. There's just too much going on, that there must be some sort of cause for this. I would love to say I found the cause but I haven't .

And what I found is life. Our lives are what bothers us and causes us to not achieve much. We often think that life is ours or that we own it. So most of the times we go out to try and never die. The reason many get rich, exercise etc, is because deep down we all don't want to die. The reason we have corruption, crime etc, is because someone is just trying to survive; that is to not die.

We are all so obsessed with living forever that we forget DEATH IS AN EVENTUALITY. It doesn't matter how long you try to delay it, but death is bound to happen. The reason we are on earth is not to delay or fight death, but to just simply live. We do not have to amass so much of this world's vanities. The reality is our lives aren't ours to keep. That fact alone should be enough to teach us that it is better to have peace, and be peaceful and loving while on earth.

Your life is not yours to keep, so do not waste the privilege. Love, teach, be kind and share peace in this life. Accept life for what it is and let go of all thoughts. Start each new day as blank paper waiting to paint on it a bright and colourful picture.

Enjoy life. It isn't yours to keep. Do not fear death, for you will live in fear forever. Embrace it and understand that death is the end point to life on earth, and there's no escaping it. We are all going to die. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS OURS TO KEEP. WE ALL DIE AND LIVE IT BEHIND.
VANITY.

With Love...

Sometimes it's just "OKAY"

Life is a master of curveballs. It doesn't matter who you are, but one way or another you will get it. Sometimes it happens time and time again. You go onto the ground expecting it and ready for it but it still gets you. That is the unfortunate truth about life.

Situations in life will keep happening and trying to knock us down. Sometimes we will be left devastated. Even with all the preparation, there are times when things are just bound to explode in our faces. It doesn't matter the intentions behind it or how innocent we may be, but when it's your day, it's your day.

No matter how much of it keeps happening, one should never give up on life. You may want to shift positions and do something different but never give up trying to make a better future for yourself. It is OKAY to get hit hard. It is OKAY to feel like you have fought long and hard and it about time you gave up. It is OKAY. All those thought are OKAY. And maybe some of them are correct and you should act on them.

But at the end of the day, you must know that sometimes you need to step back and let go of it all. Sometimes you just want to restart. Sometimes it is OKAY to let go and rest. Resting doesn't mean it's over. It only means you are tired. And it's OKAY. It's OKAY to lose the battle. You may have lost this battle but the journey ahead is still long. Unchain yourself. Don't feel bad. It's OKAY to fail. Embrace it and start over.

Sometimes the joy of life is not in always winning, but in losing and always coming back from a different angle until your day comes to WIN ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WITH LOVE..

FAITH CAN CALM IT ALL

Today i want to share with you some knowledge based on my own experience with life. It is not hidden knowledge. Neither is it knowledge that is new. You may have heard this before somewhere and somehow you forgot it or at least let me say you forgot to apply it in your daily life. This is knowledge from the bible, but it can be applied by anyone of any faith or lack thereof. It should help remind you of Faith in hard times.

I will take my reading from the two books.

Matthew 8: 23-27 (New International Version/ NIV)

23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!
 

26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
 

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Mark 4:35-41 (New International Version/ NIV)

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, Quiet! Be still! Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

As people living in this life, we are often faced with difficult situations. Tough situations which sometimes break us completely. They instill fear and despair into us. We forget who we are and start feeling sorry for ourselves. But little do we know that we have the answer already.

Sometimes life will get very difficult to a point wherein we won't understand what our lives have become. But the one mistake we make most times is asking "WHY ME?". We let our situations deteriorate our faith. We let our situations to weaken and drown us. We are quick to cry. We cry for help and none arrives.

In the first scripture of Matthew that I shared, we saw how the disciples had no faith. They feared they would die. "Where there is no faith, there is fear of/and death". By letting your faith deteriorate, you are letting fear creep in and take control of your life. When you start doubting yourself and feel like giving in, that which you fear the most starts to manifest. But way to often we find ourselves drowning in weakness and self pity parties. "why is life so unfair, why me, why am i suffering, why do people hate me, why this, why that?".  The list goes on. I've also been there and one thing I learned is that it is very addictive. Your words start to destroy you more than the situation itself. Because you lost faith in yourself and God, you remain naked to any force that comes against you. You become extremely vulnerable. The biggest sign that your faith may be shaking is doubt, or asking God, the universe or life the question "Why?".  And the answer to that is obvious. "YOU LOST YOUR FAITH IN YOURSELF AND GOD!!".

Instead of panicking when situations arise, be calm. You can never think properly in panic. You first need to calm yourself, build up your faith and courage and simply tell the situation to be calm. Instead of giving in, remind the situation who you are and that you are much greater than it and inside you lives He who is greater than all forces. As a human being, you have great power given to you through your creator. And Jesus was not only on Earth to be a savior only. It was the main reason yes, but he was also here to show us that even in the human flesh, we can command and overcome. He was reminding us of the power that lies dormant within us. TELL THE SITUATION TO BE CALM. Learn to order situations in your life with faith. Do not listen to doubt or negative thoughts. Speak with authority and tell whatever situation to "BE CALM". Tell it "Quiet! Be Still!". 

The world will be in awe at how you can do such great thing and achieve so much in life. Just learn to speak with authority and take control of your life. 

"Quiet! Be Calm!. Peace! Be Still".

Let's question the motives

Background

A look at your current affairs, and 5 minutes in, is news of war or a terrorist group causing terror to innocent people. Most of these, if not all, are always linked to religion or rather, let me say done in the name of religion. But is it really the works of religious people or so called "religious extremists " or is there something or someone else out there whose responsible for all the terror?



Weapons and Ammunition

First focus of this article will be weapons and ammunition. After tons of research, i found out that the top 10 manufacturers and exporters of weapons are Western Elite Countries with a few exceptions like China, India and Israel. But then, why is it that war is always in Africa and the Middle East? Where do these so called terrorist groups get their weapons? Who funds them? How do they get their ammunition? It's pretty clear that someone benefits from all these wars. Who you may ask? The biggest manufacturers and exporters. These are the people who provide weapons and ammunition to rebel groups in developing countries and countries in the Middle East ( The groups we call terrorists.) . These corporates fund these groups, provide them with guns , ammunition and war vehicles. By doing so, the rebel group is left in debt towards the corporate. But the target is not the group, but rather the country's government. When a government gets attacked, it has to buy weapons and ammunition to fight back, thus creating more profits for the corporate. Sometimes even those in government have interests in the corporates and will therefore push for the purchase of weapons. So simply put, Western corporates and governments feed off war. BENEFIT NUMBER 1: PROFIT FROM SALE OF WEAPONS TO BOTH SIDES.

Foreign Aid

We've seen this too often everywhere. Where there's war, there's bound to be foreign aid. I won't talk about humanity foreign aid today(that's a topic for another day). Lets talk about war field aid today. For some this might be new but for others it won't. When there's war, governments turn to Western Powers for aiding, in the form of NATO and private special forces contractors who charge a lot of money to help countries come up with strategies to fight off rebels. In Lybia, these contractors worked against the governments, which is terrorism(Again, a topic for another day, detailing the double standard of the terrorism). So these special forces make a living from war if you look at it. With no war, they have no jobs and therefore no tax for their governments. But if there's war, they get a job. They charge governments a lot of money and very often when there's way, they are the first on scene offering their service, and taking the money back to their countries (stealing from poor countries). But what happens if a country refuses their services and for them there's a lot of money to be made? Pretty obvious. They offer their services to the rebels and when their strategies work against the government, the government has no choice but to hire these contractors and at that point, the contractors have the bargaining power and can now charge higher rates than first offered. Talk about hitting "two birds with one stone". BENEFIT NUMBER 2: PAYMENT OF PRIVATE CONTRACTORS
Post War Damage to Infrastructure
When the war is over, the country is left unstable and in ruins. See picture attached below for more evidence. All the bombing and shooting can take a country back to square one in terms of development. And because the country had been spending so much on the war, they are left with no money to fix their buildings and road which were damaged by the war. The people are left frustrated and expecting the government to come up with solutions or they will revolt, further causing more damage. But this time, Westerner are nowhere to be seen in the country, except of course if it has to do with the next point.........
Countries that are "Poor or Broke"
What happens when a coutnry has no means for paying the above? There's always the hero waiting to save them in the form of debt. Who? Western Countries and their various organisation. The westerners are giving them money to buy from them but then earning interest and debt power over these plagued countries. In the long run, these countries are left in huge debts which cannot be paid back by anything but natural resources. BENEFIT NUMBER 3: FREE NATURAL RESOURCES.

Conclusion
So in conclusion, it is only the Western corporates who fund these wars for the sake of profit. It is up to us the citizens to question the truth the media and govenrments have been reporting for the citizens. Why is it that they are always focused on the war all the time and always finding ways to brand these so called terrorist groups? Why is it that they don't focus more on finding out which corporates fund these wars and who in this war riddled countries has financial interests in these corporates that fund war? Is the media really looking out for your interests or the interests of those who hold stakes in them? Are you not being made to ignore the real problem? Treat the disease and not it's symptoms. PUT A STOP TO THESE CORRUPT WESTERN COUNTRIES AND CORPORATES WHO LEBEL US TERRORISTS YET BEING THE REAL TERRORISTS BUSY FUNDING WARS AND KILLING INNOCENT LIVES JUST FOR ANOTHER SHARE IN THE PROFITS. #WhoBenefitsFromTheWars? #WhoseTheRealEvil? Spread the truth. Do follow ups on where NATO, UN and AMERICA have treaded.

It's time to let go
