FEAR Is A Good Thing!

Did you know that FEAR in it’s purest form is a good thing?
 
FRIZZY (Poet)

It seriously is. The skin that you are in, your vessel or body, however you would like to refer to it as, is built with natural receptors of what we call and understand to be sensory. It automatically does things by itself that you would be able to notice if you were truly in tune with self.

 
The key is that you have to be in tune with yourself. It warns you of unsafe things that are around you, or alerts you to be aware of things that are around, and depending on your environment it turns up certain aspects of your body to be more alert in certain situations.
 
Some people don’t understand this because they just play it down as a feeling of some sort. Then they don’t act appropriately when they need to. Crazily, it’s not just a thing that is in humans, but rather it is in all living energies. Animals, plants, anything that takes the understanding of the process that we call protection.
 
As we study it as humans, we call it our fight or flight indicators. We know when we are going to run, or when we are going to stand our ground and fight.
 
Now as I already stated, the key is that you are in tune with yourself for this to be something of your control, verses something that you can not control. This is where our issue lies. There are too many of us that are not in tune with ourselves, which causes the manipulation of this sensory. It is not safe for anyone when you are manipulated of your natural sensors. So instead of you having control, you become controlled. That deep control of this sensor lies within the control of your psychological thought.
 
Sometimes it is not smart to watch some things over and over, or to teach some things over and over, if the person being taught is not in tune with their sensory. This causes them to act in the manner that they are trained to act.
 
For example; a cop that is not in control of this sensory, is going to shoot you first every time. Those with full knowledge of this sensory and that are truly in tune with self, understand this. It isn’t the fear that is the bad thing, but rather the manipulation and control of the fear that causes the same action no matter what person that you put in the situation that is not in tune with self. The test have been done, but the results will never be released. Instead your ignorance to it, will leave you still in the place of control from the manipulation of your knowledge.
 
It isn’t just what you know that controls you, but rather it’s a mixture of both. The information that is given to you for you to know, while also withholding the information that we don’t want you to know. They are so good that they do the magic trick right in front of you. You know it exists, but you also know that there are some things that are classified.
 
So understand this. Fear is not a bad thing, it is just merely a thing. Just be mindful that there are many that are manipulated of their fear, while few are in tune with self.
 
How do you tell the difference? That’s easy. Just watch them. If their choice is to avoid the full story or keep you blind to the existence of something vital and important, or to encourage the silence of speaking on any situation, it is only to manipulate you in your thinking, while they have already been manipulated themselves. Watch out for them, for fear has controlled them in their thoughts and actions.
 
Now if you ever find someone that will tell you the full truth of the things that exist, while showing and teaching you things about yourself that you didn’t know, they are not trying to manipulate your fear. They are wanting you to now everything so that you can make the decision to control your sensory. The control is not in your ignorance of things, but rather it is in the knowledge of those things completely. It is only in that state that the choice is completely yours.

Don’t you want to get out tonight in Nashville. Come out to the event Jazz With DAD’s and enjoy yourself.

Security!!!! Can I Rant For A Moment

I got to rant for a moment.
 
Yesterday I made a post in a group that was intentionally done by me with the understanding that I have had the opportunity to experience some, what we would consider, not normal moments in life. For example, I’ve talked to killers.
 
My post to this group was this; “Security!!!! Name places in Nashville that people should be scared to go after dark, and Go!”
 
Shortly after I posted a very intelligent person stated, that they thought my post was problematic. I attempted to correct them and because of the environment that bred them up, their response was, “I said, what I said.” Some of you are following that post and you can vouch that it happened.
 
So Frizzy….. why are you bringing this up today?
 

I’m glad you asked. Know and accept this truth as harsh as it may be. It is the ignorant minds that really think that you should not be scared to walk, roam, or be in certain places after dark. It’s not safe at times in the day, but it is a proven fact that the night helps provide cover to complete a criminal activity. Especially in this day and time where even cameras can’t provide enough visual evidence to show what needs to be seen in the dark. The number of crimes unsolved you can’t imagine because it is not smart for them to show you that side of the story. We need to at least put on the perception of safety, is the thought of those in power. I’m not sharing stuff like this to be problematic. I share my words and my thoughts to shed light on things that are kept in the dark. What you don’t know is a big problem when it comes to your safety.

JAZZ WITH DADS
 
*** Important Notice *** I will say this. I don’t say this to accuse her, but it’s funny how her mindset is very similar to someone who would commit a crime. After all, the criminal wants to catch you off guard, not on guard. So why would one want to convince you to not be scared. Is it possible that they know that this is where you are most vulnerable.”
 
Y’all better watch her. She already hit high alert on my radar. Go out with her if you want. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so if something is to happen. “I said, what I said!” LOL!
 
Safety Tip From Frizzy:
I don’t care where you go, or what time of day it is, take the few seconds that it takes to scan and look at whats around. You’d be surprised at what making eye contact, and speaking to a person can do. That may be all you need to save your life and theirs.

Gearing up for Jazz With DADs!

Yes it is I, the one and only Frank “Frizzy” Sykes, letting you know that we are getting ready for an amazing event that you need to be a part of, if you are in the Nashville Tennessee Area. This event is known as “Jazz With DADS.” DAD’s is the acronym for the non profit organization meaning, Dad’s Against Destruction. Dads Against Destruction Inc. (DADS) was founded in 2014 by Phil Hawkins, a native of Nashville, TN. DADS is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. DADS was not started intentionally as an organization but as a desire and passion to assist other fathers faced with similar situations Mr. Hawkins has experienced over the years. Despite the personal challenges involving the correctional system, being a father, and the child support system, Mr. Hawkins’ efforts to assist his own son expanded to other fathers within the local communities of metro Nashville. More information can be found out about the things that are happening with DAD’s by simply plugging in, liking and following their social media page on Facebook.

With all this being said and understood, things are happening within the community to get things rolling in the right direction, and you have the opportunity to be a part of just that. Support the efforts that are being made in the community with DAD’s.
