Especially for you.
Love potion number 1965.
Love potion use as instructions specified.
When I asked, “Do you believe in god.”
she said “No there is only a devil. If there was a god bad things would not happen.”
“You don’t believe the stories in the bible?”
“Not all the stories.”
“Why not?”
“Because it was written by men for men they made God a man. There is no missus God.”
“So what do you believe?”
“I believe greed is a sin, if there was not greed everyone would have enough and be happy.”
“Is greed the cause of all the problems in the world?”
“Ignorance, fear and greed are the causes of all evil, all good things are the result of kindness.”
“You sound like a Buddhist.”
“Religion causes arguments. Let’s change the subject, or we will finish up fighting, let’s make love not war.”
Not from the mouths of these babes,
By love she meant adult play, it was uninhibited physical passionate engagement.
The word love used loosely, as I often do, is ambiguous the word love needs adjectives to define it. Unconditional love – agape in Greek as apposed to Eros or the word meta the Pali word – like parental love.
Wise words.
My inhibitions prevented me from acting in a totally relaxed and natural way. I loved her and always will remember her free uninhibited love.
Religion gets people mixed up and perverted about their body. Causing natural behaviour to be distorted and can be the cause of mental disorders. Priests, monks and nuns, forced to live an unnatural life, come under a lot of pressure. Recently the Catholic Church has been embarrassed by priests charged with paedophilia.
A red rose has thorns.
I do not believe these people are evil it is what they are afflicted with that is the problem. Removing these impurities and defilements would restore the person. As waste water is filtered and becomes useful so can corrupt humans, in most cases be reformed.
Passion flower.
Circumstances play a big part in our life. Life can be turbulent or calm; when we are having a bad hair day we are not at our best. Aussies are good sports men, no underhand play (bowling), when they are winning.
The point is get all the facts don’t be quick to condemn. There is a lot of good in the worst of us and a lot of bad in the best of us, so it is not right for the best of us to judge the rest of us. Who is going to cast the first stone?
More wisdom.
Jack, this is yet another philosophical thought provoking piece.. I agree with your words
” There is a lot of good in the worst of us and a lot of bad in the best of us, so it is not right for the best of us to judge the rest of us. Who is going to cast the first stone?”
We have to have both dark and light within our world.. just as we have Night that follows Day.. It is all a matter of balancing.. Seeing behind the Intent.. of action..
Thank you for the Love Potions you bring Jack..
I am commentating upon your post with my gardening Logo.. as when I left you a graphic card for Christmas here I think it sent me into your WP Spam box, and I came again to leave a comment and it disappeared so I assume it too went into the spam box..
I see it hasn’t been approved so I will not take the chance and get myself spammed again, or else or my comments may be spammed on other blogs again..
I wish you a Very Happy New Year Jack.. May you continue to spread the Love Potion in 2016 and beyond my friend..
Blessings Sue _/\_
Sue your comments echo my words, some times rephrasing them, this lets me know my writing is understood. I appreciate your valuable feedback.
The dialog in the post was recalled when I heard the Searchers on YouTube.
The memory had been filed some where deep in my subconscious mind since 1965 then it was fished up by that link.
The post Love Potion 2016 developed from there with my brand of philosophy gathered from experience, often learned the hard way, over the years. It may have flaws that need rethinking. That is no problem as all things are subject to change.
I am sorry there has been a break down in our communication.
It is probably because Pauline and I are moving around and I am constantly challenged with changing systems of doing things.
That may be my ego talking, it is more likely I am doing something wrong as I am not familiar with all the workings of WordPress. I still just blunder in assuming “she’ll be right”. As it is a rainy day here in Newcastle N.S,W. and also what we had planed is shut on a Monday this gives me an opportunity to play on the PC. and may be figure our the Spam box.
When I am handed a lemon I make a lemonade. I learned that from Dale Carnegie in his book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” back in the 1956. I been picking up scraps of helpful ideas for a long time now.
Still I am making mistakes, that’s ok I don’t want to be thought of as a know all. :-).
Not to worry Sue I am an optimist everything happens for the best.
That reminds me if you borrow money, borrow it from a pessimist, they never expect it back. 🙂 Keep smiling Sue and all the best. _/\_
Your love potion sobers and wizens, specially through its ingredients of Dalai Lama and Harry Palmer. In a similar vein, Krishna was questioned by his friend Utanga on the presence of evil in this world and the justification thereof. To which Krishna responded that he was Brahman (universal consciousness) dividing into infinite number of opposites, working one on the other, to enable evolution of life into refined forms. In other words, evolution progresses through continuous interaction of positivity with negativity. So there is greed, fear, hatred, ignorance, countered by generosity, courage, love, knowledge.
My story is based on reality and in conjunction with my photos, I hope, expresses my message.
Am I right in thinking, Krishna’s explanation to this question is answered similarly in different beliefs. The Taoist, yin and yang of opposites balancing each other.
When yin yang are in balance there is perfect harmony.
I am not sure Raj that sometimes I read what I want into things.
I also think that all is a balance and life is a challenge.
If life was a heavenly paradise we would be bored. The thing is to live peaceful and contented and try not to disturb natures balance. _/\_

I started out with the song ‘love potion no. 9’ in my head, and I just couldn’t get rid of it, Jack 🙂
A fun mixture Jo hope the humour did not completely obscure the more sober points I was making.
Not at all, Jack, but I like to keep it light unless I have something worthwhile to say. 🙂
