Life's Big Questions #14

Q: Is sin real, and if so what is it?

A: This is a fearful topic that drives people either farther away from the creator, or more deeply into the dogma of whatever religion they consider themselves to be a part of.

If one perceives there to be good and bad in the world, as well as right and wrong, then all good and right actions could be construed as being the appropriate path through life, and in alignment with God's purposes. While anything else would be a deviation from this path, and viewed as error, or sin, (depending on your viewpoint), varying only by degree.

Now rational thinking implies that ignorance of God's laws, and the path, results in human error, while sin is viewed as the "intentional," and willful deviation from the path by one who is "not" ignorant. Sin is viewed as a choice of your own ego will, over the will of the Creator.

The error in this line of thinking is the supposition that, anyone who is "intentionally" choosing to oppose God's will could be educated enough to know the real consequences of their actions. We know they are not.

Enlightenment is based on the raising of ones consciousness, and involves far more than "knowing" the path. You have not become enlightened until you both "know" and "follow" the path. Enlightenment is a "complete process" that does not incorporate shortcuts of any kind. Period!

Therefore, to know the truth, and not follow it, is equal in the last analysis, to not knowing it at all, in that, the end result of either will be identical. To know and not do, is not to know. If it were otherwise you would have just created a new shortcut to enlightenment, and there would certainly be a lot of pi__ed off gurus in the world.

Those who can recite the ten commandments verbatim, are viewed as having sufficient knowledge that, any transgression on their part, has to be viewed as willful disobedience toward God's laws.

This is a fundamental error.

Knowing something and not using it, is equal to someone who knows it not. The end result is the same. Consciousness is about both knowledge and experience. Either one by themselves is incomplete and is the reason why we are here. Those who know the path and deviate from it, are incomplete in their consciousness, and know not what they do.

Only those who know the path and follow it, have a consciousness capable of sin, everyone else is only capable only of error.

Yet how likely is it that those who know, and have fallen in line with God's purposes, because they have embraced them, and become one with them, would willfully sin?

How likely is it they would abandon their own purpose and God's for something in the world they gave up long ago?

As long as there exists the possibility of ignorance in the world, revealed through actions that do not follow beliefs, then the fact of error, will continue to dominate over the possibility of sin.

Are You Limping Through Life

Each of us has a left side brain (logic) and a right side brain (emotion). To be dominated by the left side use of your brain, is to live in a world of physical reality and logic by anywhere from a marginal amount, to a very large degree.

I can personally vouch for this, having lived it, therefore, I feel amply qualified to speak on the matter.

Now you are probably familiar with the fact that people have two hemispheres in the brain. Simplistically, we will say that the left side deals with logic, while the right side deals with emotion. They deal with far more, but for our purposes, that is enough.

You have probably also noticed that people have two eyes, ears, arms, and legs.

To a logical person locked into physical reality through the constant use of one side of their brain, it would seem to be a ridiculous action for someone with two good, fully functional legs, to be hopping around through life on one leg. Or, to be dragging one good leg through life but not using it, all because that person didn't have the good sense to realize they were given two good legs, for a reason.

Well the same can be said about both sides of the brain.

Of course it has been my experience that when one starts talking about the logical approach to life, reason goes out the window.

Logical reasoning can be accomplished by using one side of the brain, but intelligent reasoning can not, because intelligent reasoning takes all aspects of reality into consideration, not just those viewed from one side.

Formulating an intelligent hypothesis requires both sides of your brain, that is why you have two sides. A logical man, or an emotional woman is only half a person because they may be dominantly using only one half of their brain, and of course these people will have a definite and unique slant on life.

How much conflict exists between people caused by opposite viewpoints, based on logic or emotion? Far more than there has to be I think.

Defending the idea that either the left brain logic or right brain emotion is a superior way to deal with life is as silly as trying to build a case for limping through life on one leg, as opposed to using both.

So possibly it might be time to start going to the world gym and start working out that other side that has grown weak from neglect.

Or not.

Was It A Miracle

 A long time ago I came to a realization. It was that regardless of what is happening, if your mind does not register the information your senses are presenting to you, then for all intents and purposes, that reality is not happening for you.

How often have you been looking both ways down a road or highway before pulling out, thinking the way was clear, only to have a car scream by with it's horn blasting at you, and a hand hanging out the window giving you the one finger salute?

Where did that come from? It was clear both ways just a second ago! But was it really?
Your eyes take in data that your mind and brain interpret. If your eyes take in data about a car, but it does not get interpreted (for whatever reason), that car will not be there for you, well,...not until it hits you anyway.

Once my wife and I were at my in laws, and I couldn't find a set of my keys. I looked all over for a good thirty minutes, especially in my coat and pants pockets. I had my hands in my pockets half a dozen times for each pocket, and no keys! Finally I decided to use my wife's keys and go back home and see if I could find them there.

No dice. I got back to my in laws house and told them all that I couldn't find them anywhere. Then I stuck my hand in the front pocket of my jeans and guess what?

You guessed it. There were my keys as big and bulky as life! Totally unbelievable. If it hadn't happened to me personally, I wouldn't have believed it possible.

So,...were the keys there all the time and my mind and brain didn't register the data that my fingers were sending or,...was it a miracle! ,...or perhaps higher powers were just jerking my chain.

Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine

What message was Jesus conveying when he said "don't cast your pearls before swine."

Jesus was giving credence and recognition to the varying vibrational nature of people's beliefs. A similar phrase is "they don't know, what they don't know."

Both of these ideas are telling you that it is pointless to try to communicate high vibrational values and concepts to people who do not have the ability to understand them. Now that may sound callous and harsh, but it is just a reality one has to understand and deal with in life.

You can't make some one like a painting if they dislike it, or make them love football if they hate it, and in that same vein, one does not try to teach university level mathematics to a child in second grade. A foundation of knowledge and understanding must be built first, so that higher knowledge can become useful.

The same theory applies to day-to-day life. Those people whose beliefs are significantly vibrationally lower than your own, will not easily be able to integrate your ideas into their own belief system.

Where this applies in our society is that you can not take a person who is a killer, and by showing them a little charity, expect them to turn over a new leaf. If you try to pet a rattle snake, it will probably bite you, no matter how good your intentions are.

Therefore, it is wise to always interact with people at their level of belief or slightly higher, whatever that level that may be. This will mean that your intentions will always be "loving," but your actions will be tempered by the reality of the situation, or person you are involved with.

"Idealism" is the journey you are undertaking, however it may be wise to put on some shoes, and dress for the weather. Life is a balance between idealism and existing reality.

Justice And Judgement

What is justice? Justice is a man-made concept, conceived in response to actions of the ego. That's probably not the definition you would have expected, nevertheless it is true.

When one comes to the realization that there exists a GOD created and supported creation, within which exists a human created and supported creation, then one can begin to understand the two levels of reality which are always interacting with daily life.

Humanity has a tendency to view itself as the sole inhabitants of the whole of creation, due to any visible evidence to the contrary. Yet even when occasional evidence to the contrary is presented, it is ignored because it would upset the current paradigm of belief that people hold to be true.

How does all this apply to justice and judgment? Well the call for justice (truth) implies the possibility of injustice (error), and as a result of those two potential states there is created a need for a process that people call "judgment," in order to define the nature of a thought, or action. God has no need for judgment because it is the source of all "knowledge," or if you prefer "ultimate reality." God always knows the exact nature of everything, being its creator.

And so at the very highest level of universe reality, (ultimate reality), the Creator is all that exists, and all things are sourced within the reality that is the Creator. Who or what then exists to judge the Creator?

When one is incapable of error except by intent, what possible use would one have for judgment? Therefore, whatever your definition of the Creator is, it is true that being the only reality, there is nothing or no one outside of God to lay down a judgment, and no need to judge anything that is incapable of error.

Humanity however, did not create itself, even though it has a strong belief to the contrary, and in that belief, they have created the first of many errors in belief.

Secondly humanity has created an additional error in the belief that it is the sole intelligent life in all visible creation.

We need go no farther in listing the errors in belief held within social consciousness for they are many and frequent. It is this ability to error which is the basis for the idea and perceived need for judgment. For judgment itself serves no other purpose than to determine the truth of a thought, word or action. And once that truth has been revealed, things may proceed along the lines of that truth.

The flaw in this system is that false beliefs about the nature of reality lead to judgments that are equally false. It can be no other way.

Thus God has admonished use to leave all judgement  in his hands, not because humanity shouldn't judge, but because humanity is, at this point in it's development of consciousness, incapable of accurate judgment.

Human judgment then should always lean towards compassion, for the reason that the possibility of making inaccurate judgments is so prevalent.

Ego however will rarely advertise or agree with the idea that it could be in error. It views itself as the ultimate authority in each persons life, and goes about its business of judging everything and everyone as part of its process of leading itself to its highest good.

The ego is the author of judgment because it is in competition with every other ego, and so judging other people as inferior, inadequate, or incapable is one of its methods of eliminating some of its competition.

If the ego really believed all people were totally equal to itself in every respect, then judgment would serve no purpose whatsoever.

In closing then, humanities ideas about justice and judgment are just that,... ideas. They were conceived as a result of humanities quest for truth, and need for protection from the aggressive nature of other egos. The more you align with the Creator, the closer to knowledge you become, and the less need there is to judge anything.

Love and appreciation replaces the need to judge.

Ego Friend Or Foe

How should we view the ego? Well that is a worthy question because the ego has been responsible for some of the greatest acts of human kindness, as well as for the greatest crimes against humanity.

How can this be, and what can we do if it is true?

First of all it would benefit you to understand that your ego is a natural part of your survival equipment while you are in physical form. However, just like fear, which serves a function, it has over time become distorted until it is now a dominant source of pain and discontent to the world.

Due to limited knowledge, humanity during its inception came to believe many things about life and creation that were not true.

As each new soul came into physical reality lifetime after lifetime, those erroneous beliefs about life and creation became entrenched into the collective consciousness of humanity, and became the programing about the world that each new soul adopted as their belief system.

Thus error upon error compounded itself and was absorbed by each ego, and ultimately passed onto future generations as " the way things are", (and the sins of the father were passed onto the sons, even unto the third and fourth generations).

Each ego then is like a computer program full of errors, running in the background of your life. As a result, today we believe ideas like "it's okay to kill people in order to get what you desire." Or another idea such as, "it's okay to kill people as a means of solving your problems."

The secret to undoing the potential negative effects of the ego is to change your programming by aligning your beliefs with the truth, instead of what your ego "says" is the truth. They are not the same thing.

There is much truth in the world however, it is scattered all over and mixed in with that which is false. Determining what is and is not the truth then, becomes a challenge for those lost in the beliefs of the collective consciousness.

Ego will  say, "you already have the truth, so don't bother. Who are they to tell you what is true for you? You are the only one who knows what is true for you."

Sound familiar?

Welcome to the endless chatter of the ego, the captain of your ship who keeps you endlessly grounded on the "reef" of life.

Now in all fairness some people, (light workers) have their ego in the proper place, and you can usually tell who they are. Those people are usually found serving the highest good of humanity.

So,... is the ego your friend or foe? The answer to that question is that the ego is exactly whatever you have made it through your adoption of specific beliefs, which control both the ego and your behavior.

Maintaining a fixed set of beliefs is only wise if you share, (along with GOD), the full knowledge of creation. Otherwise, you might just want to cut yourself, (and all the rest of us) a little slack by acknowledging that, there could be a couple of things you have yet to learn.

To Know And Not Do

"To know and not do, is not to know." That saying used to really annoy me every time I heard it.

It seemed to take away my freedom to choose between one thing and another, and to limit my choice to a predetermined path. Sure I want to make the right choice, but I don't necessarily want it shoved down my throat, and that feels like the intent behind this saying.

Over the years I have come to a different conclusion about the intent that this message is trying to convey, and now I am in alignment with its message.

As far as I understand, life is a twofold reality consisting of spirit (consciousness) and physicality (consciousness). Both exist, however, neither can be a complete existence unto themselves. Physical reality is a component part of spirit, and not a reality unto itself.

As such, there are experiences we are able to have while physical, that can not be had while we inhabit a purely spiritual form. Thus, from this we can deduce that there are two potential states of being. There is the spiritual state (knowing) and the physical state (doing).

Having drawn this conclusion, we can now plug those two words back into the equation to see the result.

To know (to be in spirit) and not do (to not interact with the physical), is not to know (is to not have the complete knowledge and experience of creation).

Also, the major value in anything is in its application in your life. Anything that you carry around with you all your life and never use (such as wisdom) is just an energy drain on your system. A things value in a physical life, lies in it's "use" value, not its potential use value.

Therefore, having the knowledge of how to live, is not the same as living that knowledge. If you are "not" going to live the knowledge that you know, then why are you wasting energy carrying it around?

This is where the rubber meets the road.

There is no value in knowing all about love, if you never "do" love. You might just as well be ignorant of the whole concept, because the end result will be the same!

Now you know why I disliked this saying so much. It is like being forced to stand in front of a mirror and look at your real self.

"To know and not do, is not to know."

Does it mean something a little different to you now?

Evolution Or Creation

A certain percentage of he population believe in the idea of evolution as a source of humanities origin. Is this not the idea that humanity authored itself?
If that is incorrect, is it not the idea that a single-celled organism authored itself?
If that idea is incorrect, is it not the idea that certain elements authored themselves?
If that idea is incorrect, is it not the idea that oceans, seas and lakes which gave rise to life, authored themselves?
If that idea is incorrect, is it not the idea that the earth, which gave rise to the waters, authored itself?
If that idea is incorrect is it not the idea that the universe, of which the earth is a part, authored itself?
If that idea is incorrect, is it not the idea that creation, which gave rise to the universe, authored itself?
The idea of evolution which is heavily backed by the scientific community, can't possibly be true in the "largest" sense.
Evolution is the idea of change or progressive development over a span of "time." The formula at its most basic level is,... cause (subject matter) + time = effect (evolution). Without the idea of time, there can be no evolution.
Time is like the color red, which exists as part of the color spectrum, but is not the whole color spectrum. This means that in many examples of reality the color red will be absent.
The color red is not a prerequisite for the existence of that which constitutes reality. In this same way, time is apart of the totality that is creation, however, time is not a prerequisite to all parts of creation.
In fact time is not represented in most of creation, but only in certain aspects of it. In other words time is not a prerequisite to creation, and does not exist everywhere within it.
In the third dimension there is time, and the possibility of evolution, therefore the idea of believing that life somehow authored itself can not be easily discounted. Outside of the third dimension, time may or may not exist, depending on what aspect of creation you are referring to.
Where time does not exist, then neither does evolution which is dependent on time. Now the question remains as to whether creation gave rise to itself, and the answer is yes it did, because creation itself is God manifested, and God is the first and only reality.
It is pointless to argue which came first the chicken or the egg when they both came from the same source, and so neither came first. "Source" means exactly that, the source of everything is that which came first.
God is all that is, and all that is not (potential). Creation is intelligence. Intelligence is visible throughout all of creation, but what is the source of that intelligence?
Evolution or creation is not the pertinent question. The real question is what or who, is the source of intelligence (or consciousness) that drives and supports all of creation?
Whatever that form that intelligence takes, it is the reality we have come to call God.

Stuff

I love the joy of something new,
how it's colors sparkle and shine.

And I like the way things make me feel,
when I know that they are all mine.

But things can't talk to say "hello,"
nor send you a cheery smile.

And when your hurt, they won't take your hand,
to hold it for a while.

So enjoy your toys and have lots of fun,
that's what they were meant for.

Just don't let what you own, start to own you,
Cause your life was meant for more.

A Quickie

When I was in high school many (many) years ago, I used to wear burgundy penny loafers (no I didn't put a penny in them), white socks, and blue jeans that always fit when I tried them on, but shrank an inch or two after being washed. For quite a while I had  people in passing ask me when the flood was coming, then carry on.

Now, I never had a clue what they were talking about, which probably took some of the wind out of their sails, and I never asked what they meant, because I really didn't care. It was many years later when I finally clued in to what they were talking about.

This exemplifies the idea I have spoken of before that, we each give life all the meaning it holds for us. Obviously my interpretation of those events was radically different from their interpretation, and since I didn't buy into their interpretation, I was never insulted by their comments.

Yes ignorance can be blissful at times, but so can the understanding that society doesn't have to be the determiner of what is true for you.

Missing You

From the depths of my mind to the surface,
here are some thoughts that have made their way,
about a few people I once called friends,
who now have gone away.

Even now there’s rarely a week goes by
that I don't picture each ones face,
and that spot in my life they once occupied,
is now filled with just empty space.

About what happened to them I can only speculate,
but if I was to hazard a guess,
I think that with life they'd grown quite tired,
and that they wanted a permanent rest.

Death they thought, would bring the answer,
to a tortured spirit and a broken heart,
so ultimately in their minds they decided,
that from this world they would now depart.

And as result they left us all to mourn our loss
and to wonder why,
whether just because the road got tough,
that they had the right to die.

And though I know there's more to it
than the story I'm trying to tell,
in their minds it had seemed quite simple,
Life,..had become their hell.

The Micro and Macrocosm

Have you ever used a microscope? When you use one you take something small, put it under the microscope and increase its size through the use of the microscopes potential to magnify objects greatly.

As you increase the magnification factor, that which appeared singular to the naked eye, becomes a multitude of individual parts of that one whole, and the smaller things get, the more numerous they appear.

When you advance forward through the microscope by increasing the magnification, things multiply, and as you retreat they coalesce and integrate, becoming singular.

Back away far enough from the microscope and the whole planet Earth becomes visible as a singular celestial body. Continue to retreat, and all celestial bodies become a single galaxy, and so on.

Ultimately if you back up far enough, everything becomes just one thing!

That one thing is God.

Congratulations, you've found him.

Whatever that form that intelligence takes, it is the reality we have come to call God.

Eliminate Fear

All reality has its origin based in thought. Fear then, is first and foremost an idea which someone believes in.

Consider the many ideas that you do not believe in at all, and as a consequence are not fearful about. Young children do not spend any time worrying about dying and thus because they are not fearful about it, they have at times a tendency to be reckless.

For the most part those ideas which you fill your mind with, and believe in, are the cause of your fear. When you never entertain those fearful thoughts, they do not activate your emotion of fear. Also when you entertain those same ideas but do not believe in them, then they do not activate your emotion of fear.

For fear to be real, you must think a specific thought, and believe in that thought.

Therefore, to undue the grip that fear may have on you, there is only the necessity of not revisiting certain thoughts or, changing your beliefs about those thoughts.

If you think that either of those is impossible, consider the fact that most of the people in the world are not afraid of the same things that you are afraid of, or do not believe some of the same things that are causing you to live in fear.

Therefore the conclusion is that your fears are for the most part unique to you, and are not based in ultimate reality, but in your own created reality. You are the source and author of your own fears.

Undoing fear means moving away from the common beliefs of social consciousness, because they are the dominant ideas and beliefs which are the source of your fears.

The admonishment to be "in the world and not of it," is saying that the ideas of social consciousness will surround you throughout your life, but that you do not have to buy into them in totality, but instead, can be selective in what you choose to believe.

If as a person, there were certain fears that I wanted to eliminate, then I would start with the fear of death, which is the ultimate fear for most people. Once that fear had been properly put to rest, what other fears could possibly have any hold over you?

All aspects of each person's life is an experiential example of the use they are making of their mind, and is a reflection of the dominant content of each mind. Mind control is the ability to continually direct your mind toward those things that are just, good and true.
 

Do you see any mention in that sentence about fear?

A Few Words To Helpers

When people reach a state of joy, they don't desire or require any help to stay there, because they feel it will last forever. It doesn’t.

When people reach a state of depression, they desire and require help to transcend that state, because it feels like it will last forever. It doesn't.

No emotional state of being lasts forever, despite how it may feel to the contrary. There is a dominant personal vibration which is unique to yourself, which you will always return to. This state of being is established by your experiential pattern of growth, which is responsible for your current and ever-changing system of beliefs.

It is out of your belief system that you interact with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, if you are in constant conflict with your environment, then your beliefs about life and subsequent actions, will be considerably vibrationally lower or higher than those of the people around you.

Many people are engaged in the activity of helping people feel better about life and themselves, as a vocation. These people range from the medical profession, to religious leaders, to life coaches and healers.

To be effective as a helper to another person, you need to recognize the cause of discontent before you can seek to alter the state of being of another person. Otherwise it is the case of the blind leading the blind.

As a healer or helper, if you continue to experience the same symptoms which you are trying to alleviate in another, then you have to ask yourself if you "own" what you are trying to give another? We will for our purposes assume that you do own that state of being, which you are trying to extend to another.

In working with emotionally distraught people you need to understand fully, a few key points about the mind and reality.

The first point is that no two people will react identically to the same external stimulus. This tells you that the people involved must be placing their own meaning on that external stimulus, otherwise all reactions would be identical.

Therefore, when you are helping people emotionally recover from some incident or series of circumstances, you should realize that you are dealing with beliefs, which are the cause of their discontent.

Even in case where people lose arms or legs or other body parts, the variations in the way that people deal with those realities, varies amongst individuals, due to their dominant personal vibration which is fueled by each persons beliefs.

The second point that some one who is a helper would benefit from is that, if you share the same beliefs as your client, then you are in a position to be compassionate, but are not qualified to do for another, what you have failed to do for yourself.

As a helper your beliefs need to extend beyond compassion and love in order to provide to your client an alternate way of looking at the world, otherwise you've relegated yourself to being merely a commercial hand holder.

This means that as a helper, you should start opening your mind to higher vibrational levels of thought, which are capable of developing a system of beliefs within you, that can potentially lead your clients to higher states of well-being.

To test where you're at with your beliefs I will cite two examples of belief which are in stark contrast to the beliefs held in the general population.

The first belief is that each person gives life and all circumstances encountered in life, all the meaning that it holds for them. In other words, life has no preconceived meaning, (which is not the same as saying that life has no value).

The second belief is that there is no such thing as special relationships at vibrationally higher levels of existence. And while we recognize them here on earth, if they do not exist in higher realms of reality, then for all intents and purposes, they do not exist at all.

Now if either of these two beliefs create any conflict within you, then it is an indication that as good as your intentions are toward your clients, your beliefs are too close to those of the general population and your client, to permanently correct their errors in thinking.

Dysfunctions of the body are more often than not, caused by energy disruptions at the cellular level, as a result of years of emotional stress. Mental and emotional health can not be reached and maintained from a delusional state of beliefs, and all beliefs which are based in ego thought, instead of the ultimate reality of God are delusional.

This is not to say that those who desire to help others need to be perfect to do so. Being a loving and compassionate person places you head and shoulders above the crowd, however if you want to round third base and slide into home, you can't languish in the conformity of your beliefs.

Social consciousness is the cause of discontent, not the cure, and to be a helper to others each person's beliefs need to rise far above the level of conformity.

Have you ever wondered how a person could see a psychiatrist for years and make such slow progress? The reason is that both the client and the professional share the same basic beliefs about life, and as a result they share more commonalities than differences. 

How can you give someone a drink of water if you don't know where the well is?

The choice then to help others can be motivated by love or ego, and those who hold fixed positions of belief are usually motivated by ego. Loving individuals are usually willing to try anything, that could potentially enhance their ability to serve others in a superior fashion.

In conclusion then, nothing in life has any preconceived meaning. Life is always exactly as God designed and intended it to be. It is not now, nor ever, was out of God's control. Each persons interpretation of life moves them either farther away from, or closer to, the revelation of God, who is life itself.

Alternate Viewpoits

Any person who is an independent thinker will eventually arrive at their intended destination. Anyone who continually allows other people to do their thinking for them, will arrive exactly where those people want you to be.

Atheists Scientists And Car Keys

If you think you're an atheist, then you're not thinking. Anyone who declares themselves to be an atheist, has made that statement in absence of any real thought about the nature and source of life.

The purpose of calling yourself an atheist supposedly is to give other people the idea that you have thought the matter over seriously, and come to a specific conclusion as a result of that thinking.

In actual fact, calling yourself an atheist really just a convenient way to avoid thinking at all, and that is why it is a stand that is becoming so popular. Thinking is hard work, creative work, and many people are more inclined to physical stimulation rather than mental per suites.

There is nothing wrong with being an atheist because it's just a label people put on themselves, and has no real bearing or ability to alter their true nature and reality. As a person you are what you are, and a rose is still a rose by any other name.

For most people being an atheist is just a way to signify to other people that you have opted out of the God club. It's trendy and cool, and of course backed for the most part by much of the scientific community, so how can it not be a contender for the next major belief system of humanity?

I have stated this before and will do so again for those who may have missed my thoughts on this issue.

You can not find God by asking to be "shown" God.

The very fact that you are searching for the creator testifies to the fact that you have no idea what you're looking for. Refusing to believe in what you can't see is equally illogical given how much of daily life is beyond the ability of the human eye to discern.

Humanity has certain tools which it uses to discover and alter its environment. The greatest of these tools is the ability to think. Even science will tell you that if you were to lose your ability to think then you can no longer interact with the world around you. Isn't that what a person in a coma has going on?

And so humanities ability to think is used by science to what end? Why to find the answer to the source and purpose of our existence of course. Now how does science use thought?

Well it uses thought to quantify, verify, and catalog all visually discernible reality, because it is a lot easier to prove results you can see, than to work with that which you can't see. Thus over time, this trend to work with what is discernible has developed into the science we now have.

Let's face it, if you decided two or three hundred years ago to work with those areas of life that people could not see, how would you prove to anyone you were correct? A few of your fellow scientists might have jumped on board, however most of the scientific community would be skeptical to say the least, and the general public would probably laugh you out-of-town.

And so as a result of past trends within the scientific community it has been the practice of science to work with those aspects of life that are visually provable.

Getting back to the topic of thought, we find science using the naturally occurring phenomenon of thought as a dominant tool in their daily work, while at the same time not being able to fully understand the nature of thought. One thing is for certain, if those governing the masses knew how thought worked and could control it, they would have done so by now. Just look at all the attempts at mental manipulation by those forces in the past.

Atheists as well as science are using their consciousness without much forethought, to reach a conclusion that there is no God.

Of course they don't want to go into the area of "consciousness" for the reason that they know how hard it would be to hold up any tangible results. Besides, who gives research grants to finance the investigation into where God is hiding. What would be the commercial application to that research? How long has science been looking for the cure for cancer? They have yet to find the cure for a disease you can see, how long do you think it would take them to find the invisible source of all creation?

Science has put itself in the position of declaring that they have not found any existence of God in the visible universe. They have done this while using a thought process and a consciousness which they can not understand or explain.

Atheists and scientists remind me of the joke where a guy is half drunk and searching around late at night under a street lamp for his car keys. When a passing stranger asks the man if he can help him find his keys the man says sure. After a few minutes of searching the stranger asks the man where he had them last, and the man says, by my car. Where is your car the stranger asks the man? Down the street a ways says the man, pointing in the direction of his car. Then why are you looking over here the stranger asks the man? Because the lights better over here, says the man!

In closing then I will say that government research grants and professional recognition all reside where the light is better, however if you really want to find something maybe you should incorporate a few different parameters and conditions into your search.

Sorry That Position Is Already Filled

This isn't going to be a very long post however, an idea has been in my mind and I just wanted to get it out before it disappears into that unknown region where all my other good ideas seemed to go when I am so sure that I will remember them.

Science and religion always seem to be at each others throats, however it is not so much the scientists or the theologians who are in conflict, as it is their followers, who are always citing their own version of scientific or religious fact.

It seems that all one has to do to discredit someones beliefs, is to ask for the scientific basis for that belief, as if somehow science held all the answers to life.

Science has been wrong quite often in the past, and there is no reason to think that they will develop a perfect track record of being right in the future.

The very fact that science believed one idea during one period of earth's history, then later substituted that idea for a higher version of truth, reveals that science is usually working with incomplete information, and that their suppositions have been overturned by new information many times in earth's history.

If all scientific theory was true, we would all be living in the stone age because nothing would change. When you're always right, there is never a need for any revision of theory or fact.

If science was always right the earth would still be flat, the sun would still be revolving around the earth, and healers would still be bleeding us to cure all our ailments.
People who do not recognize that science has been operating on "idea of the month" since it's inception, have not been living on the same planet as the rest of us.

So in summation I will say that "truth" is the only exact science, and all else is the search for that truth, whether it be by the scientific or religious community. And,... if you are still searching, then how can you say you hold the truth?

I personally respect all the progress that both science and religion has made over the years, despite their inevitable errors, however I don't make either of them "my God," because that position is already filled.

You Are Beings Of Light

Do you know your true state? Are you aware that your physical form is a thought projection?

It is fine to say that each of you are a product of some genetic recipe, a specific DNA soup mix. But it stops there doesn’t it? Science has barely been able to figure out genetics, and are not ready yet to ask the question what creates the genes?

What is first cause? That is the question that science is working towards. Quantum physics is coming to the conclusion that all things are one thing, and that one thing is activated by thought.

How many stories of angels have you heard where they are described as being white, or as some form of colored light? To those of you who have been paying attention to life, or have had some actual experiences, light becomes a dominant reality.

What is the human aura? Is it darkness or is it an energetic light projection of varying color and intensity, according to the physical embodiment which is projecting it? Is your aura just a projection of light, or is it instead, the energy which keeps all the molecular structure that is you together?

At your core, are each of you not basically a mass of atomic and subatomic particles all flying in a specific formation? What keeps you all together? What keeps the being which you call you, looking like you?

Ask yourselves if light (your aura) is not the energy that keeps your condensed reality together? Ask yourselves if thought is not the intent that maintains your physical genetic pattern. After all, if thought can alter your health and create disease, can it not also be the pattern for health, which is your natural state of being? Maybe thought plays an even larger role in your life than you give it credit for.

Can light be more than just visual illumination? When you pass light through a prism does it not break up into all its component aspects? Is light not a frequency, a vibration? Is light a carrier of information or information itself? What is the sun, and why is there a sun wherever life is found to exist?

You are beings of light, however you are first and foremost, beings of thought. In the beginning was thought (GOD) and then the creator created the heavens and the earth.

The earth was "without form and void" ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of GOD was hovering over the face of the waters.

Then GOD said "let there be light," and there was light.

And so from this excerpt from scripture we see the progression of though first, and then light. This leads us to the realization that if light does carry information, it can get it from no other source other than thought.

Consciousness then, is the primal cause of creation and from a singular consciousness was every other consciousness born. You are a thought projection of a consciousness which is known as your higher self and your light energy (aura), holds that genetic design in place and together.

As your realization of your true nature matures, your personal vibration rises to become dominantly higher and becomes reflected in the color of your aura. Human auras fluctuate in color according to emotional states of being, however each person has a dominant personal vibration and as a result, a dominant color in their aura.

Thought then, is information, and light holds and transmits information. As beings of light, the information which you hold is far more than the sum total of your recall. It is equal to the information held by your higher self, which is part of, but not equal to the total reality that is the creator.

The subject of light holds a wealth of high vibrational information to those of you who consider yourself to be light workers, and we hope that our questions will trigger your curiosity to explore this subject further.

Love, peace and joy, unto you and yours.

The Dance Of Light

You are beings of light
charged with loves fire.
You are coalesced energy
expressing its desire.

You have come to this world
with angelic intent,
to share love with your brothers
who all seem hell-bent.

Your memories have dimmed
you remember not, who you are.
And from a place deep within,
your sure you've come far.

But for what you know not,
and so you daily plod on.
Trying to recall knowledge
which seems to be gone.

Yet each night in your dreams,
when your souls free to fly.
Those memories flood back
and you remember then why,

you made it your choice
to leave loves grace.
That you might shine your love
on the whole human race.
