What about that “I am God” thing…

Yeah…what about saying or thinking I am God!

Some say that we are all God. To think that we are separated from God is pretty nonsensical, especially if one defines God as: Everything, Everywhere, All at once.

So that means we are a part of God, because everything is, but to say that we ARE God is stretching it…don’t you think???

We are Not everything. We are a Part of everything.

To say that we are God can bring negative things into our life. Like the notion that can do anything you want…or that you hear from God and do “bad” things to yourself and other people. Bad is in quotes because who knows what is ultimately bad for us, but I would consider murder, adultery, theft, among other acts as not benefiting you.

Thinking that you are “just” a part of God brings a humility that curbs your selfish tendencies.

Knowing that you could be mislead by your own “filters” keeps you searching, listening, creating and growing.

Also being open to feedback and changing your thinking and actions comes from being humble.

Accountability comes from knowing that it is more important to be totally true to oneself than “hearing from God.” Not lying is the ultimate form of Your “God Self.”

Can these attributes be realized thinking You are God…or not? Of course, but we are talking probabilities.

I think it’s better to be humble, grateful and cognizant of our abilities and limitations that creates a better life.

BUT we need to keep in mind that we Are a part of God so we have the ability, tendency and deserve to be the best we can be!

Thanks for listening

Have no Idea what the Title of this Post should be!

Let’s see what I am thinking about???

I heard about someone said we need to write every day.

Ideas will flow more that way. Doesn’t mean they will be good…LOL.

Oh yeah…

The idea of “God.”

God is everything, everywhere, all at once!!!

Does that mean “he” created everything…I don’t know. I’m not Him. I’m using the masculine because I can’t use “It.” I could use the feminine, but what’s the difference. How do you characterize “everything?”

So just put up with me. Use whatever term you want. You won’t even be close…just like me.

There are no words to describe Him. All we can do is try to innerstand (I do not use under-stand, because I do not stand under anything.) His attributes.

I saw a “prayer” the other day where they talked about the AI as being outside of God. How can that be? God is Everything!!!

So quit trying to divide up the Universe into separate entities. Yes, one could say that God created the negative. Seems like it but I don’t know.

Again, I’m not Him, and I get…some kind of negative emotion…when people do that. It’s what most religions do. Some have a pretty good handle on it, like the Supreme God created this entity who created that entity and so on…which is reasonable…so long as they don’t divide up “Creation.”

The closest I can get is that there is positive and negative so one can tell the difference, and the optimal “place” (again, I have no word for it.) would be the balance…the null center. Neither left nor right, up or down, good or bad, positive or negative. Just be balanced.

I know we will never actually get there, but will be rotating around it. The goal should be to rotate closer and closer to the center…balance… as we “grow.” (Again, what’s the right word for that? It’s making me think.)

OK, a little aside…Someone said that as soon as one puts things into words, it corrupts metaphysical things. So we probably need to be using telepathy…LOL

Until then I will struggle with words. Maybe some of you can help with different words…or make up our own!!!

Wouldn’t that be cool?!!!

So, back to balance…it means that we don’t have big highs and lows. We do not get so angry, and depressed, and also so in love that we see the other thru rose colored glasses.

Some say the Universe is Love…ie the “God is Love” quote. So the closer we get to balance the more Love we experience from God and in ourselves, for ourselves and somehow for others. We just know Love more intimately!!!

Sounds good to me.

That’s why I say in my 3 Pillars to Realize that You are Loved, Learn to Love Yourself and Find Your Dream!!

The Find Your Dream is the experiencing, growing and creating part of you!

The first 2 are the basis for which you can build and find your Dream.

It all comes from seeing what God is, and quit thinking about all the extraneous, don’t make a difference things. You need to be focusing on having the best experience that you can.

Well that’s my rant for today! Wow 500 words…not bad.

This is scary! Human Sacrifice!

 

 

I just a scary thought. Don’t look very scared in the picture though ;>)

So in the Bible God “sacrificed” his Son for “us.”

Then the thought came to me that Satanists also sacrifice young children and virgins. Their objective is to harvest their soul and drink their blood. I don’t know much about whatever else they do…and don’t want to.

So killing children is what the dark side does, and killing men (well, only once, but it’s good forevermore!) is what the light side does!!! But we take the blood and the body every Sunday.

Wow, now we are sacrificing over and over…and some say it’s the Son’s actual body.

Does that sound good to you?

How does killing someone actually satisfy these “gods?”

And what does it do?

I just want to talk about the light side. So the Son’s sacrifice “saves our soul.” How does that work? It’s never explained. I asked and got an “that’s absurd” answer. Guess they don’t think it’s even worth considering.

So there’s something going on here that we have no idea about. There is something in the spiritual…or “higher dimensons”…as some call it, that we need to know.

Actually I see little difference between the dark and the light. They all are “harvesting” us.

So this might break your mind, especially if you are Christian, but it all goes along with “everything you ever believed is false,” idea that I have talked about in other posts.

But the thoughts I get come “out of the blue,” and I don’t claim them to be mine. You might think I’m crazy…and I probably am…but that voice inside my head is pretty loud.

Like the time I said we are perfect in the sense that faith only works if we have no doubt. Not doubting sounds pretty perfect to me. My Christian group was very displeased with me. It did not fit in the “man is a fallen creature and needs saving” matrix.

Hey don’t shoot the messenger!!!

25 Questions You might have about the Bible and Christianity

I’ve always had questions about my Christian faith, but I just accepted what was being taught…until a few years ago.

Then I really began to search for some answers. That lead me to other questions I didn’t even know. They were there, but just under the surface.

Here are some of the questions:

Maybe you have some of the same ones…So let’s get started.

1. The first one was in Genesis where the word “we” was used when God talked about “himself.”

How many Gods were/are there then?

It was always explained as the Trinity was talking, but that does not set well with me. The Trinity means 3 in 1, so why use the plural when it’s really One?

It just leaves an uncomfortable feeling in me.

There are lots of other explanations…and we might get into them, but they come from outside the Bible and Christianity…so let’s leave that one alone for a while.

2.  Why were these Gods so afraid of our potential that they destroyed the Tower of Babel?

They said we could become like them…something to remember.

It just doesn’t seem like a “God” to me.

3. Then we get into all the rules about cleaning your body and house. It only entailed washing and then having the priest inspect it.

So didn’t they have some other kinds of treatments? Like herbs or prayer?

Probably…but could it have been a “priest power” thing?

Just Asking???

They had the power to kick you out of the city and destroy your house if you were unclean!

4. I always wondered about the statement, It was spring, the time Kings went out to war.” Does that mean God wants us to be at war?

Then it says King David stayed at home from war and because of that he got into trouble too. That’s the Bathsheba story. He committed adultery and then tried to cover it up by murdering a man. He lost his son as a result. This is because he didn’t go to war??? Hmmm…

5. This is the one that really gets me questioning. When the Israelites came back from Egypt, they were commanded to “kill every man, woman, and child, every animal and every living thing, so as not to “contaminate” the Jewish bloodline! This has implications throughout history. Who would command that? It doesn’t matter for what reason!

6. Then it says that we should have no other gods before him. What other gods? I thought there was only one. Baal was “defeated” by Elijah at an altar. So Baal was another god? Hmmm…are we talking about gods…or GOD here? Some say that money, food, or drugs can be your god. We are equating bad habits with the Creator of the Universe!!!??? They can supplant the “real” God!!! I don’t get it.

7. Then there is the commandment Thou shalt not murder! But, spring was the time kings went out to war. Isn’t that murder, especially if you were the aggressor? I think there is a contradiction here.

8. How about the stories of the kings? When they followed God they flourished, but when they didn’t God Punished Them. So it’s God sending bad things on us when the king was bad? Just doesn’t sound like a god of Love! Kinda sounds like God made in our image instead of the reverse.

9. What was Job all about?  God and the accuser talked. Who is the accuser, and how does he get to talk to God? He’s a very bad person I hear. Wish I could get to talk to God, as I gotta be better than the accuser. And then God lets him take everything away from Job, even though he was an upright man. Does sound fair.

Ya, I know that happens here on Earth, but does it originate in Heaven? I shudder to even think about that. I know it could be taken as an illustrative story, but it never said that’s what it was. It was told like it really happened. And how long did they talk about why Job was taken down….pages and pages. It’s a major event as far as Bible stories go. But I don’t get it.

10. Did you know there is no mention of the Jews in Egypt, including Moses or Joseph, or about the 3 million people that left, or the parting of the waters, or evidence of 40 years in the desert? There is no mountain in the Sinai, but there could be one in Saudi Arabia. However, the Israelites would have had to walk 45 miles a day to stick to the timeline described. What a feat!!!

11. They had to cross the Gulf of Aqaba…not the Red Sea…to get to the one in Saudi Arabia. There is some unconfirmed evidence of some chariot’s remains in the Gulf, but it is over 1000 meters deep at that point! So it would be a major effort to gather it.

It must have been a great miracle to stop a thousand meters of water over 5 km wide for 3 million Jews to cross.

12. Solomon’s temple has not been discovered, even though Jerusalem is the most excavated and researched area in the world!!! Actually, Israel did not have Any large cities when all this allegedly happened…around 1000 to 1200 BC.  200 to 300 years later there were cities, but no evidence of kings or big empires.

13. Nothing that was said in the Bible about David, Solomon, Abraham, or Moses can be found. They can’t even find evidence of the Jews back then. There is one carving of a king’s name in Northern Israel (Samaria) that also has a one-sentence reference in the Bible. That is hardly evidence. Shouldn’t the greatest empire of the time be written about?

14. Where is the evidence of Solomon’s riches and kingdom?

15. There are no records in Babylon either. There are a lot of records from that time, so if the Israelites were “big”, it should have been recorded somewhere. The closest they can come is Ezra writing the “history” of the Jewish people when they returned from Babylon. The Bible says he was a writer and historian, but where did he get his information from?

I was amazed to hear this…the general consensus is that the Patriarchs didn’t exist. I still find this hard to believe. This is the bedrock of our faith…and it’s a myth…a lie!!!????

Now I am getting angry. For thousands of years, we have been told a “story,” a lie. What is going on?

16. Anyway, let’s move on. What is a wheel within a wheel in Ezekiel, and how did Elijah, and others get caught up into heaven? Pretty strange. I think this is something we should be studying and emulating…

17. In the New Testament Jesus was an entirely different person than what Paul talked about. He never said he was the “Savior of the world.” In fact, he didn’t allow anyone to bow down to him. He referred to himself as the “Son of Man,” and only once did he say he was the “Son of God.” What does “Son of Man” mean? I find no explanation. He did talk about his Father in Heaven, but he never called him God.

18. What did he mean when he said, “I am the way, the truth, and the light? No one comes to the Father but through me?” He’s not here anymore, so how can we go through him? You could take that symbolically, but He said he was going back to the Father, and sending the Holy Spirit, which was going to “reveal” all things! How many Christians have that focus on what Jesus said…I was always told to worship Jesus, something he said not to do!!!

19. Paul said Jesus came to do away with the Law in Romans, but Jesus never said that. He did say that he came to reveal a new law…the law of Love (hence my focus on Knowing that You are Loved, therefore You Can Love Yourself, and Find Your Dream.)

20. Jesus did miracles, taught Love, and told the Jewish religious rulers they were evil. He said we could be healed by our own faith, and couldn’t do miracles when they had no faith.

21. He said strange things like, Is it better to heal on the Sabbath or to forgive sin? I ask, how did he forgive sin? Doesn’t say. I think that’s critical, how did he forgive sin?

To me, it’s central to Christianity???

22. He also said, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.”

What…God doesn’t condemn us? Wow! And we can live perfectly!

Well, he did say, “Be ye perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” We are supposed to be like the Father…perfect!!!???

I think we got it wrong someplace. Paul says we were born in sin, then Jesus saved us from sin, and now we can be perfect.

Jesus said, “Be ye perfect” when he was alive BEFORE he died on the cross, rose from the dead, and saved us!

Something is wrong!!!

22. What is this thing about Communion? Do this in remembrance of me. Drink my blood and eat my flesh? A commemoration, but really kinda gross, isn’t it? And why would we do that? What good does it do, but to remember him maybe as a symbol??? I don’t know, but maybe as an example to be followed??? I have no clue!!!

23. The last thing…for now…I think I will be writing about this more…is the complete lack of difference in Christian character compared to the “world.” There is very little difference between Christian and non-Christian divorce, crime, and many other statistics.

What???

24. I am astounded by the lack of evidence for many of the Old Testament stories and evidence for Jesus actually being a historical figure (Only 1 historian says anything about him. One would think that a man who changed the world would have many corroborating sources outside the Bible.)

25. Also the removal and total suppression of books from the Bible in 300 AD that the leaders did not like. What are we missing?

I wouldn’t mind or question that decision, but with all the other things listed above, I have grave concerns!

I have lived my life as a Christian, and now it is upended, in doubt, and basically in turmoil.

So what does one do now? I have been researching and studying for more than 5 years. It’s called going “down the rabbit hole!”  It’s led to many strange and wonderful places…and I will be writing about them in future blogs!

Stay tuned!

How Can You Love Yourself

In a previous post, I talked about the “Why.”

Now it’s time to address the “How.”

I did talk a little about the How in that post too, but let’s go it again, with more Gusto!

Number 1:  This is an ongoing learning and growing process. You are always becoming a different person! Your past is no longer relevant to who you are today

Number 2:  As you grow, things come up. You could ignore them by focusing on the Present, and overwhelming them with the positive, like repeating I Love You {your name}, telling yourself that all day long, listening to this YouTube here, making a video of you saying it over and over, and send it to me!

Yes, send it to me! It makes it REAL when you involve someone else!

Number 3: When some things persist in your mind, you need a way to respond to them.

They will manifest as an accusation. “You can’t do this. Look at all the things you did.” Even things like, “I don’t know how. It’s too much. I don’t have time.”

The response is: Yes that’s true, that happened, but I’m not that person anymore. I Love Myself.

Then your mind will resort to sending you thoughts just to make you feel bad. Insane things that don’t make sense, but your response is, “Yes, I know that, but I Love Myself.”

Then wait for a response. Most likely there won’t be any. Just think if you responded that way to your friends. They wouldn’t know what to say. Think about what you would say if they said that to you!

The mind then “leaves you for a while” to go conjure up some new memories or situations to accuse you. It will say, “No you don’t,” and then flash scenes in your mind, or just “talk in your ear.”

The response is: Do you want me to hate myself? Make it either Love or Hate! If the answer is Hate, there is a big problem. It is an entity, not the real you. The real you would never actually say that.

Number 4:  Know that “Being comes from Doing,” as my Shaman friend says.

The more you do it, the more you will believe it, and the more you will become it!

Number 5:  Know that you want to Love Yourself! You certainly don’t want to Hate yourself!!! It’s innate. It helps us survive, keeps us from suicide, and keeps us creating and growing!

Number 6:  Actions and Being are 2 Different Things!  What you have done is not you. You are the Being in the Present! Separate your actions, which are only in the past, from who you are in the Present…the REAL You!

Your actions are always creating a New You all the time! That’s a great response to past accusations. “I’m a new me, Now!”

Number 7:  Some of these memories and accusations will be pretty emotional, so when you are confident in Your Love for Yourself, you can take on the “Big One,” It’s called Forgiveness. 

You have to be ready to admit your “wrongs,” be sorry for them, and be willing to go to who you have wronged and apologize. Then offer to make amends. It’s hard, but so freeing.

You will be surprised that most people don’t even remember the situation, or have already let it go. I wrote about that and was so surprised when they said that’s all in the past.

The other thing that could happen is that they won’t accept your apology no matter what you do, but you can’t do anything about that. Just know you did your part.

So let’s wrap this up by recapping How You Can Love Yourself.

  1. You are growing and becoming a new person all the time.
  2. Repeat “I Love You” in as many different ways and as many times as possible.
  3. Learn the responses to all the accusations like I Love Myself Anyway. Then wait for the response. There won’t be one, but when it comes up with another one keep saying Yes, I know, I Love Myself!
  4. Being comes From Doing.
  5. You WANT to Love Yourself! Ask the question, Do you want me to hate myself? when another thought comes.
  6. Who you Are and what you Do are separate.
  7. The Big One, Forgiveness, is most Freeing!

Neither Do I Condemn You…Go and Sin No More!

I have read this Scripture many times and others like it. Jesus said many times, “Go and Sin No More!”

But let us start with some background for those of you who haven’t read the Bible 30-plus times…like me.

Not only that…but I have “studied” it…like thought about it…asking what does this mean?

Well, I got some intuition about it.

The part I am talking about was when a woman was caught in adultery, and the religious leaders were about to stone her…like kill her by throwing stones at her.

As the Law said!

What a way to die…and whoever devised that punishment is…what…insane!

But anyway, the religious leaders asked Jesus what they should do.

He bent down, started writing in the dirt, and said,

“Let him who is without sin, Throw the First Stone!

He continued writing in the dirt…I wonder what he was writing?

Maybe all their sins….who knows…doesn’t say…but…

One by one they leave, because they feel guilty.

Finally there are only Jesus and the “guilty” women.

He says to her “Who is left to condemn you?

She says, “NO one!”

He then says, “Neither do I…

Go and Sin NO More!”

What does this all mean?

First of all, we condemn ourselves…

Second, God does not condemn us…

So in his Eyes, we are Not Guilty!!!

Think about that..WE are Not Guilty!

Love Yourself!

Third, we are supposed to “Go and Sin No More!!!”

That means we can live a “Sinless Life!!!”

Wow…how does that work?

I think it has to do with the Big Picture.

It’s like it all works out…and we should live as if IT does work out…

Then we really don’t live under condemnation and guilt.

That’s the part that matters.

It goes back to the “Love Yourself then Love Your Neighbor” post I wrote a while back…

So if you want to change your perspective on guilt and fear, and learn How To Love Yourself on Your Journey to Finding Your Dream…

On Perfectness

I got some feedback on being perfect from a previous post and a YouTube video. It really made me “think.” Actually inspiration came to me…not really thinking. And I really thank those who responded, as I grew personally from the discussion.

The feedback said that they know they are not perfect. And even if one could be, what would come after that?

Actually I sort of agree with them…in my mind…but through inspiration it is hard to hold that idea. It is just the programming that we get in this life. We are told that we are “naughty” when we are young…and sinful when we get older. I can feel the shame and guilt from it.

Then when this revelation came, with all the supporting Scriptures…and many other sources from my research, I had to change my attitude.

Scriptures say to be Perfect even as Jesus is….you will do more than these things…talking about the miracles he is doing.

Also He said go and sin no more…many times…it is the command to be perfect.

The inspiration said that if there is even a seed of doubt, you will not achieve anything. It’s got to do with faith…believing without a doubt

It says in the Bible that if we accept Christ…we become righteous…God sees us as righteous and we can then enter into His presence…

Seems like we can become Perfect!!! Pretty Deep…Hard to understand…because we’ve all been told the opposite all our lives.

And if we are not perfect, then what are we…evil…????

We are made in His image therefore perfect.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within…how can that be if are imperfect.

Jesus removes our sin!!!

We have to see ourselves as perfect as God does.

Those are just some of the Scriptures, but my research found many other places and teachings that say…or at least imply…our perfectness.

Such as:

The Universe is one…we are one…

Creation is perfect…as we are.

In the parable of the man and the white horse… a series of circumstances occur such as keeping a very valuable horse, then losing it…which is a “bad” thing, but it comes back with 10 other horses…which is a “good” thing. Then another bad thing happens then a good thing. The idea is to quit making judgments about our life. We really don’t know ultimately what “sin” is.

So is being imperfect evil?…it is taught that way. There is no gray area…evil or perfect. But we must believe the ultimate result is perfectness or we have chaos!!!

So it seems like when we look at our lives there is no way we can be perfect..and even if we are, what do we do then, like what’s next, but when the Perfect One tells us to be perfect and we can…maybe we should listen!

How Grieving helps to reevaluate life…which moved me into the Metaphysical.

All these thoughts on grieving have helped me to reevaluate my life. It has given me a Purpose…to pass on my family traditions and values. It has also brought me to think about the metaphysical and “God.”

I specifically have been thinking about how existence could have begun.

I really like the theory that in the beginning there was just “One.” There was no time or space because everything was One…like all together…at the same time.

Then that One wanted to realize itself, so it created “Two,” which created the Universe…and here we are. Simple right…well getting to Two was, but after that…will take more analysis.

It is said that if you try to solve a Rubik’s Cube randomly, it will take billions of years, but if you have only one feedback after every try…whether it was right or wrong…a 1 or a 0…it will only take hours.

So that is how the Universe went from Two to today. There was feedback…meaning every action had a reaction…and someone kept track. We can call that Source or God…what it has been traditionally called.

Some call the One nothing…like zero…i.e. atheists and some scientists, but that does not make sense logically, or mathematically, or have any meaning in physics…at least to me.

Maybe some scientist can explain it, but it would have to make a lot of sense, and not be too complicated. Mathematics…the language of science…has problems with zero. It can’t be manipulated. So to start with zero creates a problem. Zero multiplied or divided by anything is undefined. So to divide nothing into something…like 2/0 doesn’t make sense.

So I think we have decided that it has to be One. That’s what all the religions and mystery schools have told us too. Also, that is a confluence between Science and Faith.

To know oneself is a basic teaching of metaphysics. It’s also called self-awareness…I call it the God Quality in each of us. We can think about ourselves…referring to the past and the future. We understand there is something bigger than us. We can judge our actions by the result they created. That is the same way God operates…always seeing the result…in an ultimate way.

Now I have a question about the feedback on the result of each move of the Rubik’s Cube. I said that each move will have a 1 or 0 feedback…right or wrong. Well, who knows what is right or wrong, unless you know the outcome… the completed Rubik’s Cube. So one must have solved it at least once to know if each move is moving toward the goal.

Hmmm. Then I thought about God. How does He know what is right or wrong unless He has been through all of the Existence already? So he started as One…became self-aware by becoming Two…and then what?

It says in the Bible, that He knows the end from the beginning. That must be why He is God. That is way over my head!

To know right and wrong…ultimately…means you know the outcome. Wow! That is True Self-Awareness!

So how does this work for Us? In the same way, we must realize…visualize… an outcome, and then we can judge our performance against reaching that Goal. That is what is called How to Find Our Dream!

First, we must access that God Part of us that knows our Outcome…our Dream…and then start taking steps to create it.

Ahhh…another thing…create it. What does that mean?

It is the result of self-awareness and free will. They change our decisions and actions based on feedback and our Dream! And that creates a new reality!

So what is Reality anyway? It follows that it is the sum total of our results. As is said, change our actions, which create results, which changes how we perceive and interact with the feedback. That’s why a positive outlook is the best way to view the results because it allows for seeing the possibilities in Finding Our Dream.

And it always starts with the first thing we do. It’s called the Next Right Thing. We really don’t know if it’s right until we do it, and the feedback gives us the answer.

So if the result took us away from our Dream…some would call it failure…we know we must make a change. It doesn’t mean we abandon our Dream. We change how we react, or our strategy, and do the Next Right Thing. It might be doing the same thing, with modifications, over and over, until we are shown another Next Thing.

So failure, or the “wrong” result, isn’t really a big thing. It’s just showing us how and where we need to change.

That should help overcome fear…what other people say…and procrastination.

Just as in solving the Rubik’s cube, the awareness of ourselves creates a path that we can follow through feedback.

Feedback from other people is crucial, as we can sometimes get too caught up in our own reality, and then cannot see the “obvious.”

That’s where I come in. Using my tips, techniques, strategies, and intuition developed over 40 years of business, coaching, and consulting, I can help you find Your Next Right Thing and show you How to Find Your Dream.

Maybe Not So Foolish Comments!

4/2/2016

Regarding my missives of yesterday, they were an overview of what I have been thinking about lately. Maybe today’s thoughts might be a little less foolish, as I will try to explain and elucidate the ones from yesterday.

I will start from the end of yesterday’s thoughts, and go to the beginning to get a perspective of how I am thinking, and how it can benefit you in Finding Your Dream.

The concept of connectivity is crucial to Finding Your Dream. How can you ever be in touch with yourself, if you don’t realize how you fit in? If you don’t, going to work, or running a business is all you can even conceptualize. You might be saying that you are Finding Your Dream in your present situation, you might be “happy” there, but the world is always creating, and you will soon have an inkling that there is something more. Sooner or later, you begin to realize that you are stuck in the rat race, knowing something is wrong, but have no idea what it is, or how to escape. You will begin to know your potential isn’t even remotely fulfilled. So finding that deep inner spiritual connection…going within.. is the first step. You must get to the point where you are comfortable with yourself and your circumstances…so you know where you are… you can begin to see that you could even have a Dream. That unfulfilled potential is your Dream, and accessing it is the goal and the process of Finding Your Dream.

So what distracts you from knowing who we are and where we fit in? Thinking about all the social problems in the world, and how “someone” should fix them, is a big one. That’s why I talked about the role of government in our lives. If we can think about ways we can control ourselves… i.e. personal responsibility…less control is needed from the “outside.” Learning that anything outside ourselves is only a perception, and it keeps you from concentrating on what is important to you…YOUR Dream.

Another big distraction is the current political climate. Being all caught up in the Bernie or Trump issue is really intoxicating. Someone is going to do something!!!…and I am going to support them…again, abdicating self-responsibility, which keeps you from focusing on what makes you happy and fulfilled. You might say that your support of one candidate is fulfilling and necessary..it might be…but how much have you thought of yourself while you are fighting for your candidate? It’s your mind’s way of keeping you safe and secure, which is its job.

So how does talking about the political arena relate to Your Dream? Well, if you spend an inordinate amount of time participating in the irrelevant…in my view…discussions and distortions, you are taken away from focusing on yourself…what you want…which is like I said, a peaceful life. So if we focus on that…the ideas behind all the rhetoric…dreams can come forth. Realizing that we are in this together gives you a perspective on how you relate and connect to everyone else, and, therefore, how you can contribute to the whole…humanity.

So how do you go about finding how you are connected? I have been studying some courses, like A Course in Miracles. It teaches you that the things you see and thoughts you think are meaningless, and you give them all attention that they deserve. Once that barrier is broken, real “reality” begins to show itself for what it is….a construct…that we construct…so now our Dream begins to become possible.

Another unique and powerful course is Crack Your Egg. In it you learn that your reality is your Egg and you need to ]Crack it to see your potential…to Find Your Dream. Your Egg is deeply planted; it pervades your reality and distorts your perception. It is a complete course on getting to your core beliefs, and changing them so actually having your Dream becomes not only possible but inevitable!! You can access the free introductory book here:  https://se123.isrefer.com/go/heart/salzer/ and, after that, the introduction series, here: https://se123.isrefer.com/go/aseries/salzer/  They are quite comprehensive and will give a good introduction into what you will experience in the course. It completely changed my perception, and my reality, once I realized the Egg I was in. I highly recommend it.

From these courses, and others that I will discuss in future missives, and my research and experience, you can realize that Finding Your Dream is in your grasp!

On Christianity…

Not sure what to write in this entry. Have been learning lots about just writing anyway, and things will come. It’s been slamming doors and moving things around. So maybe I should listen….

First of all….who are we? We are an everlasting spirit that never dies. That brings up some things about Christianity that I have questions about. If we are a spirit, but we have one life to live, what happened(s) to us before we were born and after we die? We must have had an existence somehow, somewhere. Christianity doesn’t allow for that unless it’s heaven or hell, but how can we be in either place before we were born? How could we “accept Christ” before we were born? No one ever said anything about that. So where were we…in heaven or hell? Does that make any sense?

Another thing, since we are an immortal spirit, what have we been doing for 14 billion years, as scientists, and many other religions, say….or even 6000 years…as Creationists say. We will live forever but only has less than 100 years of experience. Doesn’t make sense. There is a story in the Bible where Lazarus, in Abraham’s bosom, (What does that mean, and where is it?) is talking to someone suffering in “hell.” So that means there is experience after death, and it’s a lot longer than life here on Earth. Maybe we should spend some time thinking and researching that!

Maybe that’s why some religions say that we reincarnate, or have many lives. Seems to make sense, since we must be doing something. That could also mean that we could be anywhere in the Universe, wouldn’t it? That would be a “life” too. It just isn’t explained very well, and when there are unanswered questions, we begin to wonder and research…and learn.

Another question is that if we don’t accept Christ in this life; we spend the rest of our existence in hell. Wow, that’s a long time!  And what does “accepting Christ” mean? Every denomination has a different definition. Some say you have to be “reborn” and some say you have to be baptized, go through some sort of training, and be made a “Christian.” So what is the answer, and do we decide what it takes, or does Christ?? It says in the Bible that our faith is shown by our works. Well, Christians are not doing so well in that area. They have as many or more divorces, and generally have about the same life, as “non-Christians.” So, even most of the Christians are not even “saved,” as shown by their works, and are not going to heaven. So that leaves at least 90% of all the people that ever lived in hell, or are going to be.

Doesn’t sound good for God, does it?

Looks like the devil is winning. Is that possible? It says not in the Bible…that in the end, God wins. That’s not much of a victory, since they can’t ever leave hell! (as evidenced by the Lazarus story..the man in “hell” could not escape. ..Luke 16:19-31.)

And there’s the unanswered question of what if Christ was never preached to them, how will they know? (Romans 10:14) Someone explained it this way. Everyone has a chance to accept Him, because He will appear to them, and then they have to make a decision. Well, there goes the need for a church and teaching and living a good life, because for some Hindus, Christ will appear to them and they just have to decide one way or the other. My head hurts from that logic…or illogic!!!

So this is why I have been doing much research into what is really “true.” Since we have a long time to live, what is our purpose here on Earth, or wherever else we may be before and after? Since we have God living on the inside of us (The Bible says the Kingdom of God is within us, Luke 17:21.), wouldn’t a better way to think about it is that we are here to learn about realizing more of God in us…and the more we learn, the more God grows within us. God might be “out there,” but what difference does that make since the whole Kingdom is within us? Maybe we should pay more attention to what’s happening inside of us. Maybe should be responsible for our lives, and our “salvation.” Maybe we should be aware of who is trying to control us. Many forces are saying, “My religion is the only way to God,” and they go out and kill all others who don’t “believe.” (All religions have done this.) That’s their definition of Love, because “God is Love.” It’s like they know God better than God does! Some have said, “We create God in our own image,” instead of the other way around!

So Christianity has some holes in it….it can’t answer all the questions, such as….What gets us into “heaven,”  or 90% of the people in hell…come on!!! These questions have to be answerable, or we walk around in doubt, which is the opposite of faith. That does not work in our lives. We live by faith… not doubt our destiny…our “ending.” The questions need to be answered.
