No fear in Death
•05/31/2012 • Leave a CommentDo you fear death? Is it the dying process you fear of death itself? It seems so final, the breath leaves, the light goes out and the body return’s to the earth.
This though is not what dying is about, it is the exchange of one dimension for another. Walking from this very constrictive place in our body to a new world where we are no more constricted, where no limits are placed upon us by anyone, where our nature is changed to the place where we have no rejection of our existence, no fighting within just a place where we are at rest in our own strength able to do anything without the need to prove it and no one wanting us to prove it either.
We will be in what I call total functioning in the place we are just as it should be. Then truth there is nothing to fear in death, it might not be easy for others, but for the dying it is a longed for place of rest.
Learned behavior
•05/30/2012 • Leave a CommentI hate expression by rote! Rote is what you do or say because you’ve been taught that it’s what your supposed to do. Rote is a practiced form of existence that has taken a lot of work and preparation to accomplish. Rote is essential in a disciplined environment such as scientific study but when you apply it to communications or just living it is plastic at best. When ever I meet someone on the street that continually spouts off biblical verses or sayings in their communication it’s a phony endeavor and a real turn off. Lets try to speak and live from the heart and see if it doesn’t have a positive effect on our relationships, and just because we’re in a social environment where everyone is doing it doesn’t make it real. It’s still phony. We weren’t supposed to be programmed to all be exactly the same, saying the same thing, or doing the same thing. That’s robots not humans, God intends us to have life abundant life full of everything that is naturally flowing and expressing so that when we speak or do something it has the feel of truth and is appreciated by every on. It’s a joy to be around real people even if they have problems, because they share the true person within and not some phony crap they learned somewhere as a pat answer. Truth is when they are alone the go to their rooms and cry for the lack of truth in the association from others and if they are in pain its difficult for them to express it honestly as in most cases there is some one that is giving them another religious answer which they have learned. unfortunately they have no clue how to be tender and truly concerned about the other persons feelings and in most cases the person can’t express their feeling either. So it’s a two-edged sword lose, lose.
Substance
•05/25/2012 • Leave a CommentSolomon said all is vanity. No wonder this man was considered to be so wise. All things, all achievements, all accomplishments yes all things are without substance. No matter how successful a person may be in this life many still destroy there lives with excess trying to fill the void. A person can be the most popular in art, song, or love yet still they continue to search for more of something which they do not have and in most cases don’t understand. We are not fulfilled because there is no substance. All thing we do are but temporal fulfilling for a moment then on to the next greater thing. Like the x games a step up from the normal then ever striving to get more and more extreme. Is there ever anything that is truly full of substance?
The answer to that is yes. However it is the one thing that requires us to surrender our life to, that being the search for the very thing we fear truly exists. God! When we find this personal connection with the divine existence all thing have true substance, and everything is fulfilling.
Seek and you will find!
Hollow
•05/22/2012 • Leave a CommentThe title says it all, everything today seems to be filled with hollow echoes of what use to be life-giving streams of light. Today they are just sounds, jangles gratings on the chalk board. What has happened, where did the life flow go, is there no truth in the world today? It seems that we have all found a scientific or holistic or even a sarcastic solution for every issue there is, but leave out that the solutions are only temporary at best. Has the desire for true help and direction left us? Are we so educated and full of information that we can’t reach past our brain to know there is something greater? Oh if I could only unzip your head and pour in the reality that is all around you and pour out the false concept of human light being an answer. Humanism is and has always been a self centric religious expression, like all religions it falls short of connecting with a living vibrant god. That is just to scary for most. After all he might see the real me, or maybe require something of me. Damn people in such a smart age are so dumb. We never get quiet enough to be aware that there is an unseen world all around us full of help and guidance. It only requires a true, yes I said TRUE desire. Longing for more looking for more willing to pay any price to just brush close to that reality. It is a sad generation that has no real living god. God is not dead, man is! The only way to truly live is by the gift of life give by God. When will we run out of our intellectual explanations which by the way are hollow, and find that place where we can finely live.
Fear
•05/21/2012 • Leave a CommentThroughout history as well as in present times there are depictions of God as a wrathful God. While it is true that God has a side of him which is capable of being both angry and wrathful I believe the concept is totally blown out of proportion. First off let me just say that God has in fact displayed his wrath not just a few times in history, but that anger is always toward his enemies, not the ones he loves. It is true that God relates to us as his children so it is to be expected that there should be corrections in our life, but never anger or wrath. God is all about love.
So you say how do you explain the destruction of lives in a war, or genocide throughout history. Well It’s to big for me to explain, but this much I know, men and women make choices and do horrific things while alive and God has in his providence chosen not to interfere with free choice. So pint to man not God in these cases.
So what about natural catastrophes or sicknesses? Again to big for my brain, but again human cause and effect in many cases have a lot to do with it. As to natural causes like flood earthquake etc. These are part of living on this earth and we do not control nature.
I have seen that God chooses to hide in a thick dark cloud as to obscure our vision . Flesh can not look upon God and live so I will take this as a sign of love. Sometimes his voice seems to boom in my chest, but that is rare and usually only when I refuse to pay attention and he is saving me from myself.
Mostly God speaks in a still small voice and if we are not careful we will miss it altogether, but know this, God does speak.
Gods wrath is not to be feared because it is his nature, in the end he will restore all things to himself. This statement is enormous, and if thought about will astound even the best scholars of this life.
God is not wrath, he is love.
It is written that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, this is not the same fear as terror. So is there a wise one among us?
Seekers or not.
•05/18/2012 • Leave a CommentPeople spend a great deal of time and effort looking for the next great revelation when they have not yet experienced the revelation that matters the most. That being the revelation that we need to know, the living God. Sounds like a cliché doesn’t it? Just an overused phrase that all the church goers use. Well it is true it is an expression that many of the religious mind overuse, In my opinion it’s because they are still looking to at the least find someone who has actually met with the living God and lived through it.
It’s no surprise that your saying in your head, shit not another spiritualist nut.
All of that put aside, I want to tell you that there is a revelation of the person of God that is available for each of us, if we truly desire it. This is not a hoax or a tease, It is a fact and the path isn’t as hard as you might think, but that’s another story.
If we want to experience the greatest revelation of all we just need to seek and then ask. You don’t need to do all the cleaning up people ask us to do, as that has already been taken care of for you. Just ask, until.
Everything else just doesn’t compare to meeting God.
