Nexus 7 owners & users beware!
Nexus 7 owners & users beware!
I had the misfortune to check out what “TalkBack” does.
You will find it under Settings, Accessories, ‘TalkBack.’
Never ever turn it on, or you will be sorry!
After I turned it on the tablet spoke everything written and
when I tapped an icon it became encircled with a golden square, but nothing
else happened. I had to fairly quickly tap inside the square twice before the
app would open, if it opened! The responses were snail like and when I tried to
get into settings, it was quite difficult. When I finally managed it there was
no sign of “Accessories.” I tried for hours to find a way to get to it so I
could turn off “TalkBack!” all my efforts failed.
Finally out of desperation thinking I was going to return
this Nexus 7 to the store where I purchased it for a solution and/or
replacement, I figured I had nothing to lose by opting to resetting the system
by using the “Backup & Reset” to “Factory data reset.”
I applied the “Factory data reset” and the beast of “TalkBack!”
was once again shut off, never to ever be turned on again!!!!
The positive side of this story is that after the system was
fully restored and I connected to WiFi most if not all of the apps I had
installed were automatically replaced and available for my use without having
to search them out and install again.
The only other gripe I have at this moment is there seems to
be no interface like “ITunes” to help in controlling apps and data, movies,
music and pictures. I am hoping that may change, but if you learn of something
like that which applies to the Nexus 7, please let me know.
Thank you.

The power you express
There is so much to say that is never ever said, fears
increase the noise within that keeps one silent!
In life every day experiences can be wonderful and/or awful,
painful, or blissful, expanding or contracting, we open to the sun or we hide
from it, we feel it is too hot or perhaps not hot enough.
People in the world are going about their way doing what must
be done, and some do what they enjoy.
People are motivated, compelled, and driven to act, some act
in silent stillness, fearing the worst possibilities may occur now today or in
the near future. Some choose to act looking to the sun and warmth, and welcoming
each moment with appreciation believing that is the way to live enjoyably and increase
love and compassion in this active world, where everyone is leading, following,
or resisting.
It can be difficult to love everyone, hard to see the light
of GOD living in the heart of everyone. It is easier to be judgmental and condemn
another as imperfect in some way, any~way.
We so easily forget our own failings when in our puffed up
egotistical superiority we call another sinner, or ugly, or stupid, or dirty,
or smelly, or. . . and it goes on and on. . . many seem to never learn to step
beyond being superior and contemptible.
Some it is said would plan for the extinction of many to
save a few.
Perhaps this is true, perhaps there is more to the story. Is
it possible for mankind to learn, to grow, to recognize something different? Or
will the common refrain continue; “It has always been this way and it will
always be this way.” “Some things never change.” “There have always been wars
and there will always be war.” “Mommy, I’m hungry!” “It hurts!” “That felt
good.”
We love variety and fear anything that may indicate that
everything is the same in some way.
It seems easier to find and choose how we are different,
rather than how we are the same.
It is easier to recognize what I need and ignore what you
need.
There is some caring and compassion, but is there ever
enough?
I am limited by words. I cannot embrace you with them. I
cannot magically have you feel the energy of loving warmth lifting you lightly
and soothing away all your discomforts. But to do the opposite is a power
common to mankind and because it is easier to be harsh many choose that path!
The harsh path is a competitive path, it is a selfish path,
and many worship its one up-man-ship power with brutality over anything perceived
to be weak in any perceptible way.
There is a “taking advantage of” that is cruelty expressed,
and there is a “taking advantage of” that is giving in times of need. The two
are opposites.
One seeks to tear down and destroy, the other to strengthen,
encourage and enable.
Focus, vision, purpose, intent, desire, aim, motivation,
aspirations compel one into action.
The question is “are we moving into darkness, or into light?”
Are we following a path of lies, or are we strengthening our
days in truth, honesty, and integrity.
We are individuals. Each you and me walks a path each day
that makes this world a joy or a sorrow.
Some may increase the peacefulness of this environment, and
all influence this moment, always.

A little can be efffective
What I have written below came about in response to several forwarded emails from my sister, Sailor:
Sometimes a little can be more effective than too much!
I know weather is being affected by humanity. I do not know how much "Haarp may play in that"
It is also known that many frequencies being used today, and do effect many people negatively.
This is also true of GMO Foods, perhaps it is why so many are heavy and fat, compared to how people were in the past.
As for Anonymous being a front, perhaps, or perhaps there are two, one staged by Government/Military manipulations and the other authentic?
It is fairly clear that people in power want more power and they believe they know what will be best for themselves and the limited number of the human race they reluctantly would have survive.
From one perspective their beliefs may appear to justify their intentions, even as they are kept as secret as they can possibly manage it. A reduction in population would probably be viewed as a positive thing by many scientists and the like who look at the world as a whole, trying to figure out the most likely ways mankind can survive longer. ..
It would not surprise me to find that people in the know believe many will perish, perhaps in the next few years, no matter which course of events takes place.
A reign of terror by leaders following in the footsteps of Adolf Hitler could enact a 3rd World War. That would reduce the population and it would probably be used as a tool to make that reduction as large as possible.
Alternately, or in combination with such violence, people could be led into cleansing camps, were the will be promised an end to their fears and discomforts!
These are top down views. The alternate would be looking up.
It would imply that individuals begin awakening to the realization that each has a responsibility and the authority to live and express a better way, a way that is a reward in itself, and which makes everyone’s experience more healthy and enjoyable.
No matter what course people choose, the path will not be without hardship, even if everyone awoke from their mesmerized condition this very instant. Even when people know better, it is often difficult to do something differently.

Most human beings are creatures of habit, each has different abilities and limitations within which they are capable of expressing whatever good may come thru.
There is a way things can be expressed simply, but only up to a limitation.
One main limitation is that few if any care to bare any responsibility.
It is far easier to pass the buck on to Jesus, GOD, Mohammed, Buddha, or the like.
One either is, or one is not.
Is it possible to be both?
Whatever your answer, responsibility for one’s current choices remains the heart of this issue.
This heart is the beginning of expression. It is either full to overflowing with abundance or it is resisting and pushing, and taking in an effort to fill some emptiness.
Love is not a manipulator. Love is always giving. Love is not without instruction, but neither is it a slave master. Love always allows complete freedom of choice.
One can choose to build relationships and communities that appreciate and enrich everyone, or one can find faults, and build resentments, and increase judgments, violence and war.
These are examples of how our expressions in life produce results.
No matter what choice we make, results occur, it does not matter if we ignore what happens, results continue to occur and often they grow larger and stronger until they lift us up, or grind us into dust.
I say It is a mistake to wait expectantly for a change to come from someone else, even if we proclaim that someone else to be Jesus, GOD, Mohammed, Buddha, or the like.
When one is somewhat comfortable such issues may not seem to
matter.
But, when one does nothing, those bent on overpowering and
controlling everything succeed.
I hope that everyone shall be shaken from their sleep and
awaken to recognize joy in individual expression that grows stronger in its
giving. Meanwhile I shall try to be
clear and as accurate as I am capable of being in what I express. Sadly,
perhaps, I do not always did deeply into referencing and double checking
everything for accuracy when and if another is quoted or referred to. That does not mean what I share lacks
accuracy, it only means that in some instances what I share may not be as
accurate as some might demand.
A little in some cases can be a lot.

Clear vision
Truth can be expressed in many ways and many emotions may be
used to emphasize it.
I prefer the plain and simple.
People as individuals can grasp and see or fail to see and
understand what is placed before them.
It is good for as much exposure to pure, clear, and simple
truth to be expressed as is possible.
Cooperation is useless without clear understanding.
Clear understanding resides within an individual or it fails
to be accepted within the individual.
A problem has always been wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Sadly in this world it often seems easier to be hostile, deceitful,
resentful, aggressive, and abusive, than it seems to be loving, kind, generous,
forgiving, caring, and compassionate.
It may seem more difficult, but which is more rewarding,
really, deeply, internally, within ones very heart?
It is a difference between abundance and lack, the ability
to give, and the emptiness of needing.
Similarly it is reflected in the difference between
cooperation, and competition.
If you are traveling to a distant location thousands of
miles away, and your course if off by only 1 degree and is never corrected, in
all likelihood you will miss your goal and never even notice it as you pass by
many miles distant from it.
This is always the case in the outcome of personal choice
and understanding.
If clear vision is not present, no matter what the cause,
the original goal will be missed.
That is why it is necessary that truth be presented clearly
and simply in ways that can easily be understood by even a child.
Anything contributing to confusion must be considered a
deception, unless and until it is proven otherwise.
Why The Truth Matters More Than You Think
I recently read an interesting article, (actually the title
of a book.) entitled:
“How Do You Kill 11 Million
People? Why The Truth Matters More Than
You Think.”
The author is Andy Andrews.
One of the things written in that article follows;
A quote from "Mein Kampf" in which Hitler wrote;
"The great masses of the
people more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one."
In that book Hitler laid out his plans. People apparently
ignored what he said in it.
At least they seem to have ignored the parts indicating he
would rid the planet of people he considered inadequate.
The heart of such cruelty, violence, and hostility, lies in fearful
people.
Government is made up of people, and it is people who allow
"Secrets."
Little secrets seem harmless enough but they are the doorway
to larger and deeper secrets which almost always put someone at a disadvantage.
As secrets grow, the disadvantages increase until it becomes
lawful for ‘officials’ to kill, and do all manner of things to eliminate any
and all perceived threats and/or competition.
Competition is a way of getting the better of another while
the other is made into a stepping stone.
This may be especially hammered in when
the competition is based upon greed, lust, avarice, selfishness, and the like,
which create resentments and divide and destroy people.
The opposites of competition and warfare are cooperation and
affection, which strengthen and sustain people.
In a similar way, it might be said of work that;
Giving from an abundance of one’s
appreciation and enjoyment of expressing helpfulness and integrity is freeing
and strengthening while slaving to serve a harsh master who only seeks a larger
profit with little care or concern for his employees robs on of enjoyment, and
often creates feelings of helplessness, as well as creates an environment where
one feels ignorant and lacking in strength as freedom becomes merely an idea of
some era in the past.
Truth enables people to see, hear, and think reasonably,
clearly.
Lies and deceit confuse and blind people, blocking their
ability to hear, think and act reasonably.
People choose to endure lies
because they have little and/or large guilt’s buried in their past.
It does not matter what the cause of those guilt’s, it may
be simple and superficial or they may be severe! The results are the same. They
enable the demons of abusive contempt to become rulers and empower leaders to spread
corruption, deception, enslavements, fear, violence, and death in as many ways
and forms as can be imagined!
You dear
reader, are the most important part in the whole of this life expression. This
is completely true for each you reading these words. We
always want to think of ourselves as completely unique and independent from
everyone else. This would be true if we did not have a father, or mother,
sister, or brother, neighbor, or tree, sky or earth. . . Yes, everything we
know is an experience we cannot exist without.
That statement is taken to an extreme, but it is the little
things built up over time that make up the whole experience. We make little
choices, little like and dislikes, these increase over time and with time many
are forgotten but remain. What is forgotten retains a small influence over
choices made right now.
Have you come to feel, and realize that each choice made now
produces a lasting effect upon how your experience of life today will be? Not only
does my choice matter, but your choice matters right now. Each expression you
enact involves billions even trillions of cells, electrons, atoms, feelings,
sensations, light, and shadow, action, and perceptions, many seemingly beyond
our desire to know.
If you grasp my meaning, you may realize our experience
living and expressing in this instant is much more infinitely connected to
everything than we care to remain mindful of right now.
Why does it matter that we realize how connected we are to
everything we experience?
It matters because when we forget how dependent we are upon
each other and how much in need of cooperation each life expression in form is,
we tend to loose appreciation and caring. With that loss we separate our self from
a vital part of living experience that creates a justification for abuse,
resentments, competition, deceit, deception, and every form evil can take.
Now that I have used the word “evil” I guess I should use
the word “good.”
Such an assumption leads me to express some tie in with “sin”
and “wholeness.”
This brings to mind the perceptions of “consumer” compared
to “appreciating and giving.”
These representational words are commonly not understood in
ways that help anything at all!
In spite of what many think, there is a clear reason things
are as they are.
In other words, human expression as you know it did not come
to be what it is today by accident.
The difficult part to understand in this experience is that
what was accepted as “truth” may in fact be a “lie.”
This is something that cannot be understood while one
refuses to face anything in themself that is objectionable, that is, anything
difficult to accept, or forgive, or experience because it feels painful, or
produces any feeling of guilt.
Perhaps it is a good time to take a break.
Hopefully this shall continue at a later time.
