How to live in this world but not be part of this world

Live one day at a time, one 24/7. Get through one day without using your AK and it will be a great day because people will challenge you at every turn to use your AK. May patron told me why kill a dead fly that's already dead?
So stay prayed up and don't be moved by anyone or anything. Peace be still. If you be still and stop tying to go to the world, guess what, the world will come to you. Stay prayed up and this will keep you on the positive vibration.
Let nothing move you. Remember that Christian song from the Civil Rights Movement, I Shall Not Be Moved? Be like Hammer You can't touch this! With the armor of God, no one can touch you with vibrations from the low information mentality, i.e., ignorance and evil.
Don't be deceived by pronouncements from the monkey mind media or fake news. Fake news has kept you steeped in ignorance, drunk on the low information vibration. Stay prayed up. Don't believe the hype from any source, Right, Left, Center.
Listen and talk with God. He hears those who praise Him. Our Lord to Thee is due all praise! Your Divine Mind tells you everything if you will listen and tune out the whisperings of the devil who whispers into the hearts of men and women. The voice of God shall not deceive you, the voice of the devil shall land you in a burning fire of men and stones, says Al Qur'an.
Stay prayed up. Pray going out and coming in, for you don't know what is outside your door when you exit, and if you make it back home safely, give all praise to your Lord as soon as you enter. This is how I live each 24/7. Even in my dope fiend and hustling days, I would never have a bad day, after all, a dope fiend and hustler can and will come up from a night of nothingness and dread. I was highly motivated and accepted no part of no in my madness. But it takes the same energy to do nothing and to do something positive. Even now, as a hustler, I don't accept a bad day, it's not part of my world. My cup stays half filled rather than half empty. I tell people who come to me crying about losing their job: one door closes but another one opens. And I say the same to those who come to me crying about losing a relationship partner after a short time or long time since I have visited couples in long term relationships that don't know each other after two decades together, so they are together but not together and often their love is a twisted form of hate along with the golden handcuffs that has perks that allow them to stay in their state of wretchedness. But ultimately the sand seeps into the bottom of the hour glass and they shall confront the moment of truth. Even then their dance of love may not be over, they just need to heal because in their trauma, grief and depression, they are exhausted and simply need time to recover their mental equilibrium and physical stamina to return to the battlefield of love. Too often couples separate only to connect with a new lover with similar issues, they only have a different name.
