A Writer's Invitation

Knowledge is Power....

Please Check Out My Writings on Helium. User name:ethosart

http://www.helium.com/




I'd like to invite anyone who may enjoy reading my blogs to join me at the above link on Helium, where much of my writing's were initially only submitted as a playful hobbyist, or as a test to niche my skills. Much of what I've learned on Helium.com has given me a clearer perspective on how my writings stack up against others.

Helium produces several categories, sub-categories, and titles spanning 100's of subjects and has a niche for any type of reader, poet, writer alike, and gives a rich atmosphere to gauge how others value your work.

Ultimately, when I first joined them, I wasn't given much thought to the whole concept, and in fact believed I'd post a few of my writings, get ridiculed as not being a very proficient writer, laughed at, or simply out-classed, and prove my initial theory true; which was I cannot possibly be a talented writer!

Amazingly, despite being self-taught, having only completed 7th grade regarding my academic explorations, to my surprise...I have written articles weighed against actually philosophy professors' and piers alike, whereby, I have ranked higher than several of the college level writers there.

I encourage anyone who possesses a passion for writing or reading to check out the Helium website.

Also, as a direct correlation to anyone who might be thinking this is in someway to boost my ego, or revenues, I will explicitly express: there is nothing I enjoy more than writing, and in all God's honesty it began as a very private practice; of which I never intended to share.

Certifiably, I haven't made but a few pennies off Helium, and even inviting writers to boost that to nickels would require me to know your email. So, believe you me, it's not about the money!

With that being said, this is in no way a paid or paying advertisement. Instead, it is a show of gratitude for all whom have welcomed me into Helium's writing community, and encouraged me to move forward with my passion, or gift as some have called it.

The blue link below is a recent article I wrote under the "Psychology" category, and in any and/or all honesty...I am blown away at the fact it currently sits at #1. Should you be of any interest in exploring my mind further, feel to visit me on Helium, my user name is: Art F. Moran, but you'll also find another account there under Art Moran containing 9 other titles, that I can no longer access, as I got snagged having lost my password, and they realized I had 2 accounts, and unknowingly breached their user agreement, (implying I was trying to make money, but wasn't)

I apologize having not updated any content here lately, as I am currently building 3 other blogs,, of which by need of more income, I am currently monetizing those sites and inviting anyone who wants to make money online, to share in the "epiphany" I had after being brutally hammered by someone badgering me for having posted a link to this blog on a forum, whereby, they too seemed to think it was a "plug" of sort, with a hidden agenda

If I am doing anything that concerns making money there are a few rules by which my conscience abides;

1.) It"s never done in an act of desperation, no matter how financially devastated I might be

2.) I will be honest as the day is long, and only seek similar company

3.) I never tell someone I can do or provide anything, unless I am able to deliver

4.) Lastly, I believe understanding, knowledge, and wisdom are the keys to success, not money.

Hence, when I say there is something huge brewing in this brain, it is sure to trump the $100k I earned consistently building swimming pools, hot tubs, waterfalls, and exquisite back-yard paradises, before losing a million twice over before the age of 33.

But... I'm only getting started folks!

In fact, much of my philosophies and psychological writings, especially found in my poetry appear to be misinterpreted as having an off-balance of good and evil, but in truth it is acknowledgement to the balance which shares a place in my writing

Stay tuned, I have yet to start advertising this blog, as it's all new to me, but what I have in my arsenal has yet to scratch the surface, and will be sure to tickle your mind, change your perception (for the better) and help direct you to your true calling as I believe God is currently infusing this writing fascination of mine.

Until next time my friends...Peace

HeliumUnderstanding the evils and dangers of group-think

"Times Threshold"

(Above Picture: Salvador Dali')

Over the past 6-7 years, my immediate family (wife, and 3 kids) have been experiencing a rash of difficulties, centrally focused around humility, suffering, and loss.

I'm not going to bore you some dramatic details, or anything, don't worry!

However, we elected to believe that everything has a balance, a threshold, or a breaking point, whereby, regardless of how bad things tend to get, we feel they will balance themselves out. In fact, as with every known force in our universe there has to be a positive and a negative force to perpetuate, or fuel every living object in and amist our world.

Sadly, while trying to endure these forces, and correct upon them when we are able, there intrudes the ellusive measure of time itself. Without question, it establishes a marker to keep track, or bookmark our lives.

Incredibly, over the past 16 months now, we have consistently believed; time heals all wounds, and change, and opportunity will present itself in due time. By human nature this appeared a logical, and rational approach, in keeping our heads held high, and not fearing any more trauma to befall us, naturally.

Respectively, I am not at liberty to disclose specific events, regarding names, or the details surrounding these events as time has proven we are going to be forced to seek legal action regarding these current affairs.

Affairs mind you, that challenge the civil liberties, freedoms, and beliefs of this great nation, and effectively, if not stopped by Yours Truly could allow or enable another person, or a families lives to become disrupted in a similar fashion as that of ours, in this very moment of time.

As an honest man, and a proud American, I must admit, that whilst I am guilty having believed opportunity would present itself, and enable this rather diabolical nightmare I am living to be subsided, or reconciled, time has now proven me wrong, and demands my immediate attention.

As with anything worth fighting for, this concerns all that is sacred to me, and crosses the thresholds of my beliefs in First, in God (I TRUST), secondly, my children and immediate family, and lastly ones livelihood, as 2 of these areas have been largely disrupted by the vile actions, empty promises, and deceitful nature of 2fellow American citizens, whom we believed were respectible, honest, and well... loyal to American virtues & values.

Not everything we see, hear, or that touches us is what it appears. When I say 'touches' I mean metaphysically or spiritually, not necessarily physical touching. Be it the case here. Whilst, I am in the fight of my life, and and bits and pieces of TRUTH have surfaced revealing a much darker side to the 2 individuals currently surpressing my family, they've managed to convince us for some 16 months that their intentions are indeed unselfish and sincere.

Time reveals again, that we are dealing with a double-headed snake. A snake mind you that has cost us a far greater amount then the near $100k we've sacrificed while being led to believe we were doing the 'right' thing.

In any and or all absolution, I am gathering 'spiritual warriors' to assist me in this battle, as it's become apparent, I can not defeat this demon alone. Naturally, dependent upon one's interpretation, I am referring to these 2 people, whom in my belief are serving the opposite power I serve.

Without being to biblical, they are those types of people who will look you in the eyes, promise you the world, whilst they are stripping everything from you. Now mind you, I'm not perfect, nor have I been very angelic for a large portion of my life, but, I admit my faults, attempt to acknowledge ignorance, and correct upon it when I am able.

I actually poke fun at a similar quote in one of my ongoing manuscripts, stating; "I try not to raise Cain, when I am Abel!"

I think it speaks for itself.

However, imagine someone threatening the welfare of your children, and by the time you realized how maniacle these people were, you find yourself painted into a corner. Betterstill, imagine surrendering everything you've worked for believing it would benefit your children, while asking for nothing in return, and then being offered a job making $250k per year, Only, by the time suspicion creeps in, you've surrendered other job opportunities ranging from $35-$60k in a dyer economy, only to later realize, "these people aren't right!"

This is a mild overview of what my fiance', our 3 children, and myself have been enduring for some 16 months and counting. Our friends, and people who are aware of what's going on all have opinions, or suggestions, and yet, their suggestions lack insight, as many have said; "call the cops!"

Ironically, even if the cops could or did do something about it, it doesn't resolve the real issue, which has now financially, psychologically, and perhaps spiritually to a degree disabled us as a trusting family unit, and productive U.S. citizens..

Sure, if you read my sight you'll see...Patrick Henry's awesome display of courage and character, as well as a ton of armorment against any infraction of ignorance which is clouding our judgment as people of this great nation and beyond.

Certifiably, as I draw near the front lines, and "break my silence" to exploit, expose, and fight ignorance, in a manner which I believe is "fighting the good fight' it's become inarguable that the polar opposite rises against such efforts, and might very well explain why this is now happening to our family.

Having undergone extreme battles of similar fashion in and throughout my life, I am no stranger to suffering, and elect to believe it is love's backdoor. We open ourselves to love, and with it comes a pain like no other. I am 100% proof positive nearly everyone has experienced this, and if not for those who haven't had the pleasure, brace yourselves.

The battles I've conquered prior such as; alcoholism, drug-addiction, gambling, and some other areas whereby I followed others seeking sustainment only to find myself trapped, don't hold a candle to the current situation I find myself in.

Looking through times threshold, or hour glass, I find everything happens for a reason, and I am adament to uphold my theory that if we face the skeletons in our closets (or graveyards full in my case) we can arm ourselves with the knowledge of old, and use time to our advantage.Having been one for years to ignore the real problem, and place blame upon everything from others, Satan, and even God, I found it was less exhausting to accept fault, humility, and the embarrassment, for the strength that we can gain from such a process; is IMMEASURABLE!

In closing, I am cautiously, dealing with this issue, and intend to follow up on the outcome once I assemble God's warrior's, and obtain the spiritual guidance needed, for had I not learned from prior mistakes that you cannot defeat ignorance by beating it with a stick, the me and my old friend, Luios Ville "Slugger" would have remediated this problem months ago. However, I cannot raise my children from within a cell!

In closing, be it known, I did not write this seeking pity, nor sympathy, not at all. Instead, I want my fellow Americans to be aware that we are up against forces in this world, that no matter how caring you are, how much you love your family, your significant other, or especially your children (as is the case here) be warned, when you step-up to do the right thing, all too often the opposing forces get rattled as a result...But don't fret, good will prevail!

Be it you face it head on, and never let your past trap in performing a self-evaluation. There's a lot to be learned in facing ones fears, just don't try to run when you confront them, cause they'll only grow, and dibilitate you worse as times threshold bekons.

As is so with our freedom, it like time is of the essence...don't waste it!

As for these 2 people to whom I cannot mention, say a silent prayer for them, as once I get them shackled to man's arena "The Judicial System" their act of terrorism upon me and mine will never touch another American family, not on my watch!

If only people meant it when they say;"you watch my back, and I'll watch yours!" - Well, I do mean it, and I'll follow Satan straight to Hell to make sure he gets home safely, with the confidence of a pheonix, rises from the ashes, for my final destination is ON HIGH BABY!

Like the gentleman on the plane during 9-11, "Let's Roll People" - our lives and others are at stake. Stop turning a blind eye to ignorance, exploit it, exposeit, and bury it where the bullshit belongs, this is still America, and I'm still a cultivator, and I know; bullshit is meant to be buried, and in doing so your harvest shall prosper.

Words of wisdom? - or am I all alone out here?

Peace be with You & Yours!

Godspeed.

Tate Publishing LLC - AWriter's Dream?

~Built-In GPS~

As the title of my other blog site; Way Out Wisdoms (http://way-out-wisdoms.blogspot.com/)represents the initials "W.O.W." I am almost devastated as to how awesome things align, and are laid upon our path like breadcrumbs for us to navigate our way to a higher calling.

Today, my wife; Terri was browsing videos, playing around on the net, and stumbled upon a gentleman's blog. She then reads a portion of his walk, and his bio, and finds an eerie similarity to Yours Truly.

He too was a writer, and his description of writing in itself is equal to, if not almost exacting to my experience, with the exception he's published and successful, whereas, I am digging myself out from beneath the wreckage, and the carnage of 6 years of this festering, and rather uncontrolled passion for writing.

While, I mean not write a bio of my own, it lead to me reading his, and clicking a link, which took me to Tate Publishing.

As my wife, friends, and a few complete strangers have had the pleasure to be entertained by some of my works, they center around equality, educating ourselves, abolishing ignorance, and the attributes associated to the pestilence abroad stalling our individual growth, and forward movement toward achieving the 'essence' of freedom.

In short, I didn't plan to share this rather personal information, but my insatiable appetite for writing began after a 'spiritual encounter' some 6 years prior. In my own confusion, this scared me, as I was generally a very honest, yet rather apathetic person by nature.

Ever since the transformation began 6 years ago, my writings have taught me to a degree, whereby, many of the items I found myself writing about were of no interest, nor had I any formal training, schooling, or remote understanding of their deeper seeded meaning, or messages.

In truth, this still kinda haunts me to this very moment, as I am perplexed to imagine; "Who's gonna listen, or better still, read what I have to share?"

In reflection, I had always had a fondness for the arts, regarding paintings, drawings, graphics, and of course as technology now presents computer animations, artwork, and phenomenal visual depictions of a vast multitude of creative and insightful minds.

But, entering the work force, fueling the standard 'capitalistic' desires, I abandoned my childhood dream of ever becoming and artist, or so I had thought.

Somehow, it was always there. Even for the 16 years while I was a self-employed swimming pool sub-contractor, freelancing my abilities to build, design, construct,renovate, and repair fountains, hot tubs, waterfalls, and lastly commercial and residential pools, the artist in me was thriving, though I didn't really know it.

Everything from the trenching for which the pipe would lay, I would meticulously ensure they were carved in near perfection. In fact, many people would laugh at me, and ask; "Art...Who cares what the trenches, or piping looks like, it's going to be buried in dirt, no ones ever gonna see it, or care either way!"

My response; "I care! The customer is paying top dollar for quality workmanship, and so then they deserve the best."

Ironically, to my own humility, almost everyone of my competitor's and friends in the biz' were making 2-3X the money I was making, because they were 'slapping' their work together, solely focusing on the 'prize'-MONEY!

Despite having billed more than double on a per job per dium than them, and earning a respectable rep in the industry as one of the best in the trade, I was going broke, while they were getting rich!

My point being, although the experience was great, and to this day I have fresh ideas, and an endless imagination for building exquisite works concerning waterfalls, lighting, hot tubs, cave style lagoon's and backyard paradises, it was the artist in me that made the experience less a chore, and fun. Regardless of the money!

The trip of this journey, led me to Tate Publishing, which I've since requested more information regarding publishing, but literally blows my mind how it left me to question; "accident? or "fate?"

I'm leaning towards the latter, as I do not believe in accidents, therefore; everything happens for a reason. I found the Tate Publishing Site so welcoming, that I thought it needed to be shared. Below in my 'favorites link's a link directed you to their home page. If you are a writer, and a person who maintains a Higher faith, and your seeking publishing, I recommend checking them out.

Meanwhile, I am working on a series of chapters of a manuscript right now, whereby, I am intending to post pieces, or perhaps a few chapters here, before submitting it to Tate Publishing, LLC.

In closing, I suggest reading all the information on their site thoroughly, as I elected to include them in my blog purely out of respect, having done so myself. Hence, I have no direct affiliation with them, but if my heart is correct, based on the positive vibe I received this morning leading me to them... then, I expect to be publishing with them in the near future.

Godspeed,

Art Moran
