Q.............. GOD?
I must say that puting anything even remotely resembling the
'framework' of GOD or any concept near is absurd and rediculous. The
only reson I write upon this subject is that people 'want to know' your
personal 'views' on this subject. And I have permission.
"The Gift"
It's funny the thoughts
that people have about this detail
of many of our lives.
They will say that of terrible
things are happening it is Satan(the concept).
If great and wonderful
it is God.
(Almost like this
"Satan" is a reversed image of the Creator.)
People also seem to forget that we have the
"Gift" of free will.
(Isn't that what pissed "Satan"(the concept) off in the first place?)
People make comments like "God is out to get me." "Why me?","God Dammit!",
"Why does God let this
happen?".
The best I can say is that it's just part of the
rules of the game of
existence.
Yes a child dieing every six seconds and yes all of the horror and terror each and every moment, somewhere on Earth.
Yes-The rules.
Consequences
are only made
to be serious by our own conscious thoughts
and agreed
upon truths.
That is why some people think
it is 'justifiable' to kill, mame and harm each other, because they
have "a
good reason" to do this vile thing.
It is their conscious
thought that determines their chosen course of action.
They will either believe that the consequences are worth their
behavior or they will think that there are no
important consequences.
No matter how
sick and twisted the action.
My sister claimed that she did not believe in GOD and I asked
her if she thought she was good at the trumpet.
On that day I had called a meeting with her to see what she wanted at
her funeral.
It was a month prior to her passing over.
She did not have a chronic disease.
She was a successful business woman (Associate producer of a local news
station.)
There were no open threats to her life.
But, unfortunately I was close
to 'source' and could see 'the signs'.
I would say that there was 'nothing' I could do.
(There is always
something that you can do, but, does it need to be done? To
what consequence?)
But I could only see 'soon' and not 'how and when' so I
warned her that she was close and that I loved her and wanted to be
sure that she took care.
Then I asked her if she believed in God. She said No.
Then I showed her
that she does
agree that people are better than she is at certain
things..better.
"Greater Than" you at one thing or another.
This is the agreement
of
"Higher Power".
This is also totally
associated to "Faith" because you are sure
of something.
This is an indication of 'faith' in
something...this surety.
The problem with people that wish they
could believe in God , have, is that,
when they want some kind of evidence, it won't show.
Then they think , the obvious, "What kind of 'God' will not show
evidence of It's existence?"
I mean hell it's not like you needed a major miracle or anything, just a 'sign'.-DAMN!
To many of you this sounds so very familiar.
The others
will say
"Evidence? Ha!"
"Look at the physical
universe alone and the revolving complexities of bodies
and thoughts.
Our cars, inventions, emotions as well as the under currents of our
daily
lives "This alone
is not
enough evidence?"
Yes when a person wants some kind of evidence, they are looking for a
personal
reason.
Whatever that reason may be, they still need to have one
to care at all.
So often I
have seen 'miracles' occur right in
front of the person asking for
proof and they
don't seem to even see it occur- no acknowledgment at
all.
There are a few in my life that have asked me to 'prove' things to them
and I have been allowed to and , of course this is about the time that
they have an 'epiphany' they get that OMG!(Oh my God!),
bug-eyed, happy look and see
the
revelations of the future, all in a fraction of a second.
(Then afterward a fraction is
all they seem to remember of it. Not all, but most.)
I am certain I
would have a tough time believing in God if I hadn't
tried to 'test' the nature of things and been shown well.
Blowing at a street light and having it go 'out' in that fraction of a
second.
Or 'wishing' clouds away and having it actually occur immediately,
I am
not talking of 'moving' clouds but actual evaporation of a physical
item that's accumulative weight is around the measure of a small car.
.
Or seeing the dead come to life.
Or talking to animals and watch them carry out tasks that
would commonly take years of training.
My truths seem so odd that I never have to conjure anything but my
memories.
I have so very many during this life time that I would fill
pages trying to list them all etc...
People have said that I could make a great deal of money running around
to 'myth busters' and the like.
Well I also have personal/spiritual issues which stop me from this
folly.
Lao Tzu (ancient Chinese Wise Man) said:
"He who knows
-does not speak
and He who speaks-
does not know."
So here I am speaking and although I am personally firm in my truths.
As he, amoungst many others in history, had to speak the God-pill
out to the world.
If you want and ask for evidence- I say- You will get it.
But don't blame me
if you do not see
what just happened.
You do need to pay attention.
Your answer may not be so immediate or it happened at this very
fraction of a second..
There is reason for each thing.
A reason of your
own doing that needs to be contemplated over and
communicated with.
By you. If you think it is just you creating all of this, I say fine.
Keep it up and thanks.
If you feel lost..good for you.
That is a perfect indication that you have been
there before or how would "lost " fit your
feelings?
It would mean that you have had a way
and can
and will find your way "back".
I think that consciously
disregarding the existence of a thing does not actually change
anything but your own attitude.
A good Christian seems to think that God tots around behind them
keeping notes and punishes them for doing negative things to
themselves, and all that surrounds them.
(I think this is funny. "The
Old Man" keeping noted on all of us. LOL- Good one.)
In the movie "Constantine" it is stated by the main character that "God
is just a kid with an ant farm."
In many ways I am forced to believe this as well. That the rules are
set.
I grew up on the streets of several cities, in each one I began
homeless and then found job after job and improved myself through hard
work.
But it was these people , on the streets, that really showed me
so many ways and things about how I did and did not want to be.
When I succeeded in a city I would pack my bag and stick my
thumb out for the next destination to do it again.
No, I don't belive that the 'Old man' was totting around behind me ...but I can see that something
has been, more likely a bunch, group, coven, cult, what ever ..... and
they help me in all ways so I am thankful for this each sunrise of each
morning.
Minneapolis, San Fransisco, Seattle, Shreveport, Cocoa Beach
Then at 20 years I got professional and started into photography.
Church Directories, churches well
To the point.
Yes the only real 'parent' I had to help me and work with me and give
me encouragement and teach/show me things and help protect
me was my true Father.
My Spiritual Father.
FATHER GOD.
It was through these street bound "hells" that I found my 'heaven'(s).
Hey!
What
would you do with a God- If you had One.
If you could ask
one question and get the absolute truth from
the Great
Bear- Allah- Jehovah-God.
What question is so important to you?
Would it not involve envy, lust, greed, vengence, pride, sloth, gluttony?
I wonder.
After all you can only change so must and you can bend the
rules with some things
also but when it comes right down to it there is only one form that can
absolutely change the rules and that is the One that made them in the
first place. In my humble opinion.
I am not here to argue a point.
Just to make one.
