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.
