Considering a Truth

72 days for freedom (Atlanta 2012)

      

       There is a way that we believe the Universe works that is wrong. This way has been passed down from generation to generation, From family to family, from continent to continent. How do I know it’s wrong? Because of the evidence against it. This one way that we think the universe works puts us in a helpless state, having us to believe that we have no effect on our lives, our destiny and the world in general, that we are the subject to the will of “it is what it is”. The truth is we are creators of our destiny, we are creators of our lives and we are creators of this world. That doesn't cancel out god in the instance that you believe there is a God. I believe in a divine creator or a master creator however that fact has nothing to do with anything unless you consider that my thoughts, what I believe in, along with your thoughts, what you believe in help shape or create the future. We are masters of this world and we don’t know it. Our lives can be so much richer and be more fulfilling if we just believe that we can and are shaping this world how it is. Instead of giving our power and control away to bad ideas, bad people, bad beliefs, and bad perceptions, we can keep our power and use our collective energy to shape a better experience for everyone on earth. The blockage or absence of this truth that we are divine ourselves is the reason we live in turmoil and destruction. It’s not an accident, there is a plan in order, but this plan is dependent on what we believe, our perception on how the universe works. There have been countless studies and books written that confirms that we are these entities of energy and what we put out in what we believe is how the world is. That’s where it starts by believing. It’s a will know fact that we are not these human bodies; we are not even the embodiment of these human bodies. There is such thing as a higher conscious and a higher self. There is a world that is deep in the memory of everyone that lives and everyone that has ever lived, matter of fact we are everyone that has ever lived. Anyone who has had a near death experience will attest to the fact that we are in fact immortal, that we go on existing after a physical death. It’s written about in ever religion and every tradition and “myth”. I use the word myth loosely because what we believe is truth and myth has it’s connotations with disbelief and skepticism.

Immortality

                Buddhism

The Self is the Lord of Self… When a man subdues well his self, he will find a Lord very difficult to find… knowing that his body is like froth, knowing that its nature is that of a mirage, the disciple passes untouched by death… he in whom the desire for the Ineffable has anisen, whose mind is permeated by that desire, whose thoughts are not distracted by lower desires, he is named “Bound upstream”

                Christianity

That the dead are raised to life again shown by Moses himself in the story of the burning bush, when calls the lord, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” God is not God of the dead but if the living; for him we all are alive.

You are gods. Those are called gods to whom the word of God was delivered… no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die

Hinduism

That knowledge which though the soul is realization of both the known and the knower is… wisdom… Whenever anything is produced, it is due to the union of the body and the soul. The deluded do not see the spirit when it quitteth or remains in the body.

Deep within abides another life, not like the life of the sense, escaping sight, unchanging. This endures when all created things have passed away

The individual soul is nothing else in essence than universal soul… Human beings all are as head, arms, trunk, and legs unto one another.

                Islam

Riches are not from an abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind. Whatever good you do for others, you send it before your own soul and shall find it with God, who seest all you do.

                Judaism

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures… he restoreth my soul… Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me… Surely goodness and merry shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Just a few examples of how every religion talks about how we are eternal spirits and live on after a physical death. It is not proof but if you believe that what you believe is the truth than it is a form of proof. Now the question is “do you believe the truth?” it’s been writing right under our noses. The fact is we live this life every day; we are living proof that we shape our lives, we are live truth. Doesn't what we do today and right now have a direct effect on what happens tomorrow? Isn't it true that what we experienced yesterday has a direct effect on how we act today? Don’t we use experience to handle life in the present? I don’t have the answers and I don’t have it all figured out, but they say the first step to solving a problem is realizing that you have a problem, and lets be truthful there is a problem with our lives and how we live and the way this world operates and if we never come to the realization that this is true than we will never fix it. I’m tired of living like this, and I don’t have to ask you because I know you are too. I see it all around, it’s one thing to be optimistic and have faith and it’s another thing to actually be happy and live in real love and truth. All we have is right now, the future is a story and the past is one as well, what matters is right now, because what we do right now and what we believe right now is what we will become. We are what we think, let’s think love, peace, harmony, oneness, empowerment and then use what we think to motivate our actions into making a place where love, peace, harmony, oneness and empowerment are the only things that matters.
