There are times in your life when people have hurt you so much, so badly without thought to your feelings, emotional well-being or even physical well-being; and most times you’re hurt by the ones you love. A child born to a parent comes into this world innocent, sinless, faultless. That child depends on the parent for care, for sustenance, love; but when the parent violates the child, in some cases by harming them, neglecting them, abandoning them, molesting them, scarring them or whatever pain that has been inflicted on this innocent, it never goes away. The teacher who embarrasses the child in class when the child doesn’t know the answer to a question so the other children laugh and scoff at the poor humiliated child has sinned against not only the child, but also against the spirit that is within that child. The child who abuses and beats the parent, steals from them, humiliates them, again has affected the spirit within the parent.
The husband who has abused the wife physically and emotionally; who has brought her STD’s and has had mistresses upon mistresses unapologetically and vice-versa, leaves a terrible impact on the psyche of each other; the one that is hurt again also that person’s spirit. What I know for sure is that God loves us all, no matter who you are, no matter what you do, no matter what your orientation in life, your goals and aspirations and every human being that is living on this planet has a guardian angel that watches over them. Whether you believe or not, I care not, it is so and there is a universal law and this law will never change; it has been through creation and will remain so through the end of time and that law is the law of causation; in other words, cause and effect. Call it Karma if you will….what goes around comes around to explain it further. Anything that you do has been done already back to you. People have to choose their actions well in life, think carefully about hurting another. The force that is called God made us all and even if we do not believe it, he loves us all as a parent should love a child.
God has given us all many keys to unlocking doors to assist us on our journey here in life. One of those keys is tears. There is a mystery with tears and tears are a key that is given to us by God. It is the first thing to show itself when we arrive here on earth. The baby at the birthing table, the child cries when it wants the attention of the parent so from an early age we are given this power. We cry to God for favor, we cry when we are happy at times and also when we are sad. Tears are mysterious and they can arrive at any time and for whatever reason; but when it comes to defending us tears are a great weapon, because once you are true and clean-hearted God will stand still and listen to your cry and give you victory like a good parent does once tears are present. Let me tell me something that happened many years ago.
After the breakup of me and the wicked baby father, I was left with the children on my own. My business had been destroyed and things were very rough. One night the wicked babyfather’s equally wicked mother called me saying that she was checking on how the kids were, which got me upset because she knew bloody well that the father was not doing anything for them and that we were struggling. I was upset while she spoke and I cried very hard recounting the horrible relationship I had with him while we were together, how terrible he treated me and the children and it was because of him that I had lost my business. What I did not tell her was that a friend of mine had just opened a new business for me and that I had just started again with my hairdressing a couple of days before this phone call. I ended our conversation swiftly by telling her good night and I hung up. That night I visioned that I was in my shop which had 13 chairs and while I was washing someone’s hair the shop door opened and an Italian, mafia-looking man dressed in full black walked in. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he sat at the first station that was by the entrance. When I saw him I recognized him from a previous vision that I had, which I will tell you about another time. I was shocked and frightened because I knew of his power but did not know his name. I tried not to show my fear and I asked him ‘can I help you?’ he slightly twirled his body to me and looked at me and said ‘the master sent me to look after you’ then he said ‘how much is it to do my hair?’ Trying not to sound nervous I asked ‘what do you want to do to your hair?’ He said ‘what about a perm?’ I said ‘you don’t need one.’ He said to me ‘step outside with me for a minute’ With heart beating fast because I knew of his power, I went. As we stepped out on the sidewalk he turned to face the window of my shop which had half the glass piled high with red phones to the top, one on each other and the other half with black phones piled high one on each other. He said to me seriously ‘choose a phone out of the red and black, choose a phone’ I timidly chose the red phone and then I jumped up out of my sleep only to hear my phone ringing which must have woke me up.
It was 6 am according to the cable box and I answered the phone quickly and groggily only to hear the wicked babyfather’s mother on the phone and she said to me ‘Obara, remember last night when you cried and complained hard against my son’ I answered her and said ‘yes, what happened?’ she said ‘you should not cry again to another person so hard’ again I insisted ‘what happened?’ She said ‘my son is in the hospital, he was at a game when he collapsed; the doctors don’t know what is wrong’ and then she hung up. He ended up recovering from whatever, I don’t know what it was; but when I examined what it was from a spiritual point of view, that night when I cried while remembering the horrific abuse that I suffered at the hands of that wicked man, my guardian angel came to defend me, but because God has given man free will and possibly because my children are related to this man, my guardian angel gave me a choice of what type of message I wanted to receive via the telephone of this man. If I had chosen the black phone he would have died. The red phone was chosen by my subconscious and it represented judgment. So regardless of his maltreatment of me, I was still compassionate. The minute I chose the red phone my physical phone rang to give me the news that he was hospitalized.
We all should take care of who we hurt in life; no one is bigger, higher or mightier than the next. Being a billionaire does not mean that one is better than the homeless. As a matter of fact the homeless might be the one with the better heart, the compassionate ways, and the selfless spirit. We should all rethink how we treat each other because there is no crime that goes unpunished…at least not by God.

Yes because once you set up your altar you have given them their own space and have acknowledged them, you have embraced them and they are glad this I know for sure
I also believe in the power of tears that is why, when someone cross me, I try to hold it back and ask the universe to take care of it. I was warned so many times as a child about this very power. It is said that my grandaunt’s son was killed by a gunman in jamaica. She had many children and the one that killed, was the most promising that she loved and was her hope for a better life. Being an old maroon, she cried, went to a crossroad with an egg before the sun rise for 3… Read more »
Yes Ty tears very powerful when true doe not false tears lol yuh granny pain wake her ancestors from there slumber
Dem old maroons were powerful and had a great connection with their ancestors. So sad that my parents did not embrace the heritage as much, but all is not lost. For here I am trying to get it back because I feel the most connected to it.
@Ty this is your lineage and someone has to embrace it it is like a crown handed down eventually seine has to wear it
Thank you, you are always so reassuring. My father ran away from his roots and I feel that he regret it because what has keep him, has been his grandmother’ s spirit that walks with him. She guides him daily. she was said to be an obeah woman but really was a herbalist who knew herbs, and helped many people. He is great with numbers and I have asked him recently to teach me. I was not sure if he would and surprise surprise he said yes. I feel after setting my altar my ancestors are nudging him to teach… Read more »

mi is here just a come from post office.. guh send off dem tings to u….BULLIT BULLIT
hi GG, how yuh do!
mawnin fam
I know. Always here to help. I do what I can. Thanks.
Gwaan Rayne techa naw feel so good suh u ah fill in…..good bwoy
Well thanks Maniac. I appreciate that. I’m no where near as good as Obara but…I try. I try to help, enlighten and of course entertain. There’s nothing wrong with a little humor every now and then.
Nubizness how yuh do? Yuh ah miss nuff mama….Rayne is certainly doing a good job…
Hello nubizness. Just filling in. lol. You have a great evening too.
hello everyone can’t stay cyaa mi ah tief a type offa dah work computa….sup soon come to rawtid Rayn tun dha new techa a nuff mi miss man…Maniac, Sharlene, GG…Opti, Rayn….Obara everybody have a blessed evening tt unu tomorrow…
I would love to hear the answer to that myself. But then again why would I want to forget? I’m sure I learned a lesson for dealing with the people I know. lol
Hmmmm. Well..Obara is right. You have to go with the flow. Let nature run its course. All your doing is altering the balance and your getting the feedback of it all. In other words what your controlling ways want. Its what you get. Just sometimes what you want isn’t always EXACTLY what you ask for. So just take your time and have patience and faith. Things will come round for you. The remedy I’m sure you already know by now.
Obara is there such a spell?
Lol…Sharlene mi nah lie….ah di same ting mi deh yah ah wonda to misself enuh….mi did ahgoh ask Obara….but mi sey mi nah badda….
rayne…obara…maniac…gg…opti…nobody no know one spell(for want of a better word)…fi mek u figet somebody…please hurry up gi me di remedy
Reading and learning
part of my problem is im constantly trying to control the flow of my life…i want to control everything that happens…but as Obara says you have to go with the river of life…true me is a hothead…sometime me forget…and in de case like dis now…true me feelings hurt…me no want a bwoy even talk back to me…ever…so me work pon de situation to make sure him don’t…even if destiny would have him to return or anybody in that situation…my feelings mek me waan turn dat upside down….
Well that’s good news to hear Sharlene. In the end do what makes you happy. In the end no one can truly make you happy but yourself. Dating is good.
well…i don’t plan to and with the help of Obara and this site…i can try to curb my emotions somewhat…and look at things in perspective so i don’t end up in this situation again…i will be dating only…and not really doing the relationship thing…cause i dont want to put any more tears on anyone else…but God bless dem if dem fuck wid me
Well ok. That I understand. You were upset.and you had to express yourself. However, leave it there. Don’t take it out on the next one.
yes….your are right…but himdid have to feel my wrath…yea
Ok. I’ve read everything and i can say this. Yes, jumping in full body isn’t the way to go and as far as these guys. Shouldn’t waste your time. Its still early and new. Move on. I’m sure there are other man that would love to occupy the time that he is allowing. Now, when you do meet someone else conserve yourself. Don’t give out too much information and yourself. Give yourselves time to grow. That way if things don’t work out it won’t hurt so much and you won’t feel so vulnerable.
I’m here Sharlene. I was a little busy taking care of business but i’m back. Catching up on what you wrote then I will give feedback.
okkkk….so Connie and i have a bit in common…as well as a few women the world over…cause my friend remarked to me…in my relationships its like taking a bath…you know you dip your foot in to test the water…i dont dip…i just jump in full body right to the middle…so maybe i need to change that…but usually it’s not us…where are you on this Rayne?…haven’t heard you in a while
In an established relationship, when a man changes the patterns like this, but doesn’t say why, I think a woman should ask him about it. I wouldn’t ask this right away, but after – as Connie describes – several repeated signs of waning interest – it’s time to remark that you notice that things are different. Then this might spark a conversation that clarifies how things really are – and save you the wonder and worry and the need to be “patient.” It’s a tough call – and it depends on what the expectations were – that were unspoken but… Read more »
Why shouldn’t you feel that way? He risked this by suddenly dropping you – without telling you why. It’s one thing when there is a reason. It’s different when no reason is given – and one would be expected when you’re seeing someone a lot. I am a little leery of men like the recent one you describe who go all out in the beginning and seem like they really want what they think women want… Sometimes the ones who go too fast into relationship mode are the very ones who may be quick to exit also. It’s better to… Read more »
So anyway, before I torch him, I thought maybe I could get a more objective opinion on a better way to handle it. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your insight.” — Connie Thank you, Connie! I can understand exactly what you mean. It’s not JUST that the men are repeatedly changing after a long time of closeness and attentiveness, but it’s the effect this is having on your feelings over time. You say you lack “patience” – but I see your point. Things change significantly with no explanation – I wouldn’t feel very “patient” either. I think the fact… Read more »
“Now the thing is, I’ve read all the relationship support mailers that this is a normal thing that guys do when they feel overwhelmed, blah, blah, and not to take it personally, etc. “Anyway, now I’m dating a man I met recently. It’s only been a couple of weeks. He’s very relationship-oriented, we’ve had conversations already to clarify the nature of the relationship. We’ve talked or texted numerous times a day, and saw each other for planned outings three times last week! (I know, it seems fast, but it was entirely natural, and he even initiated it!) “But then this… Read more »
“At first he’s attentive, gentlemanly, respectful, and so on. Then, suddenly he starts acting like he doesn’t care, not returning calls or whatever. “Now the problem is that I don’t have any patience for this game. Usually while I wait for the inevitable phone call with apology, I’ve gotten to the point that when he does finally come around again, I’m so completely done with him that it’s dead forever. “It hurts me everytime, though, and I find I’m unable to just act aloof like you and Bob recommend, and I am becoming more and more reluctant to trust, because… Read more »
It’s one thing when a man disappears very early on, when you’ve only dated once or twice. But it’s quite another thing when you have become a solid “couple” where you expect to see and/or talk to each other just about daily – and when this has gone on for months or more! That’s what has happened to Connie more than one time – and her biggest concern is the turn in her feelings toward all of this. She writes: “Ok Mimi, This same thing happens over and over to me; I’m stumped, it’s time I get some advice. “I… Read more »

Thank you rayne888 and GG, it is something that connects you to God, Tears are very powerful and should not be taken frivolously
This is something I’m oh too familiar with. A lesson I’ve learned and yet still learning as I progress in my life. This is a real good one Obara. Good choice.
good read…this goes to show that the saying “DO GOOD AND GOOD WILL FOLLOW YOU” is true
