 Hope Fear and No Sign of The Christ! 

As the world gave over the idea of the REAL Christ to Mr Obama, we now find out, that he is indeed not the Second Coming! In fact what came instead, was the end of the world as we knew it to be. Something far less lofty  came in its place. The real Truth of our being, has  been given over to the stimulus of Fear over the Hope that was promised. Hope itself usually isnt neccessary unless despair is eminent. And we have displaced our God, with Fear, we have displaced our Hope with a call for finacial statbility. ...to be continued

Wonder, the Curiousity of the Intellect

October 16, 2008

In the Mind of God, wonder is the child of a lesser God.

I certainly dont mean that you should take affront to that, as some might. However, wonder belongs more to man, than to God. All things of course are part of the Almighty , however not all things belong in the realm of the Christ. 

Christ never wondered about His connection to His Father. He was concieved to a woman who knew and accepted her God, without any sense of curiousity. Her acceptanced relationship to Him, had nothing to do with a lack of understanding. And had even less to do with the wonder that most see as a sign of intelligence.

Intelligence in mans world, immediately denotes one postion in society. Those who laud knowledge, see knowledge as power. Curiousity, doesnt even reach that level of commitment. Curiousity is a dabbler. Its just a slight interest , most times only to occupy ones time. Curiousity leaves ME to wonder, its purpose? As children, I can definately understand their wonder. Curiousity in that age, when the world is still mystery is how children seek to find thier way in the world. However, in an adult, I would think one would no longer see the world as a curiousity?

And I would never consider wonder as the...

The politics of fear!

October 10, 2008

In a time when fear and uncertainty is running rampant in our country, would you think adding to that fear the right approach? I Don'T! In fact the one thing  and only thing that keeps me certain in this time of uncertainty is the voice of Christ stating "Fear Not!"

I would have to suggest that at this time, Mr Obama looks as if he is in the lead, and is winning on what he used to decry as "fear tactics when it came from the other administration. War mongering some would say. So in this time of uncertainty, what do you call a person who wants to win by inciting more fear? Its now being presented as fear of our econony failing. And what fear hits home to a Capitolist America than  what they are rooted in? Isnt that the root of all fear? Thier financial death?

America I believe is tired! We are tired of the manipulation of its people, by hype, or spin doctors , media types and all those who prefer to keep us in the dark with half truths, then bring us into the light of day!

If Obama wins, spending will begin, but his win will be based upon  our fear, not...

The Misunderstanding of Mother Nature

October 4, 2008

Many people today worship the idea of the Goddess. The Goddess for some is suppose to represent the Nature of Woman. And in some senses it is. However that belief tends to place worship on only one side of the Union. This has lead many earth lovers to see "Mother Nature" as a separate entity. And in doing this has placed more importance on the Earth, than on the Creator of It.

Its like the worship of Mary in the Catholic Church, when although she deserves respect, it is her Son who should be worshiped. For her Son, would not see man as separate in anyway. Eve as well as Adam were created by a concept that would allow for the creation of , and the expression of God in matter. Before anything comes THE creative concept.. Whether that concept was a conscious act of creation or the unconscious act of reception.

To me all the effort placed on saving our planet, has been the work of those who believe everything in Nature is under mans control. And we have been living with that understanding for far too long. The Goddess has lost her real reason for being. It is she, who has to be the combined and balanced element of her Highest Self....

Again , the misunderstandings of those who wish us well

July 20, 2008

The people I found were the most harsh, and blatantly arrogant, were the very people who wore the mask they call "green". Like anyone with a cause, the cause becomes greater and hotter, based upon its oppositions.

These same people who espouse being green, will think nothing of being downright hateful, to those who they see as unwilling to do their bidding. They take offense on anyone who doesn't see Mother Earth as being a Goddess, who needs constant attention to her needs. This of course is the attitude created from a feminised adulation of self. Therefore Mother Earth, is seen as something that needs constant attending to. What seems to be forgotten is, have they seen the other side of Mother Earth, called Mother Nature?

Mother Nature can certainly show us her destructive side, as do some of these same Goddess Lovers.

What I find ironic is, that these women worshippers seem to leave the idea of Maleness behind? While they apply all their focus on the feminine. They are the backbone of the green movement, and they will lionesses when it comes to their need to protect the planet.

I am not ruled by gender, however I respect the idea of caring for everything in my care....

My Self MY God

July 11, 2008

There was a time when I believed the main thing in life was the pursuit of my happiness.

After all isnt that what this country is all about? We are now being told from TV Gurus and Eastern Philosophers, that the path to our own happiness is better than the Way of Christ.

 Christ never told us to forgo Happiness for Him , and no happiness is truly of any value if it doesnt lead us to His Character. True joy only comes when a man truly lives a life of truth!   

Of course people need to know happiness in order to know the joy of God, however sometimes in seeking that path we forget our real purpose. The pursuit of happiness is what our Country allows, however our country allows for  things that cause harm towards others..such as greed, self agrandizment, and  more!

To fulfill oneself by feeding oneself only Joy will indeed lead you to your God. However it also will lead you to forgo principles and values, that only the True Soul could not live without!

So here we go again, seeking a better way to happiness, in the feel good policy of making everything we do right!

Our soul does have a plan, and when we see only...

America's Dilemma lives in the Marketplace

June 7, 2008

Because we are a society that strives to do better, to innovate, to inspire and to lead..we come under the scrutiny of all of the world powers. We are even now, in the process of rethinking who we are? 

We see so many Americans struggling from paycheck to paycheck ,and of course in a country where most of the worlds wealth is produced, we cant understand why? In our desire to lift people up out of poverty or injustice we sometimes forget that it is we who are projecting that image. It is we who feel the struggle and want a hand up if not a hand out! What we also can sometimes forget is, that to always be seeking a hand in our daily struggles..so are others looking for that hand up from you?

We seem to think that because we are struggling, it is someone else's responsibility to stop the struggle for us?

When this is seen for what it truly is, we may then also see who it is , that really needs to change!  

There are a few ways to seek help. some people believe its the responsibility  of our government. While others seek to help themselves. Some seek God to see them through,...

The Reasoning for True Belief in only the Christ

April 19, 2008

 There are of course many religions out there, that come out of not only a sense of need to express a godly connection, but also out of a culture based society. Many of those very same religions still adhere to belief in animals as Gods, or divination's and spells. Are they to be seen as valid worship of God? For those who believe this , of course they would say it is.

I believe that we are all part of a ever developing consciousness, and the peak of that development is that of the Christ. The Christ being Humanities Goal and the God of our Planetary System.

If we base religion or spirituality on nothing else, but the best representation of God in man, who would you choose as  your representative? Maybe for some it would be a cow? Yet how ,other than providing the world nourishment, could that representative be Gods representation to man? The cow, would indeed be able to show us, that it can nourish others thru its generosity . And we can even say , the expression , "the milk of human kindness" can indeed have come from that, but more than that, I don't believe an ethical character can emerge.

Yesterday, the Pope went...

Faith, Should Not be Hope in Disguise

April 9, 2008

Some people of Faith , I believe,  really don't know the difference between Faith and Hope. Most I would say,     hope more, than they believe.  Hope for some, can be more a place of wishful thinking, mixed with disbelief, than  what I see as, True Faith, itself

To call something your Faith,  should leave the believer with no sense of disbelief. For Faith itself means, I believe in you. I believe in you , with my whole heart and  whole mind. Meaning without a shadow of a doubt.

 When one uses the word Faith, it should never be presented as hope in disguise. 

To have faith, is to believe in something that's rooted in Trust.  And one can only have trust in something that has been proven to be True. We can hope that God will fulfill what  we are praying for, but without the Faith to believe  it can be so, our prayers are nothing more than empty hopes. 

The reason for this is, that Faith should not be something outside ourselves. We should not be looking to heaven at a God that hangs out in the clouds, without recognizing that  that same God is living within us.

When we feel insecure, we ask Him to strengthen us. If we do not bring that part of  God into...

Are we to Fear God or Love Him?

May 14, 2007

Throughout the bible we are told to fear God. 

Much like our children  fear the strict  parent, who has the job of being the disciplinarian, so too is our  fear of God. When you think about it , isn't that what most parents do, to gain a response from their own children? Punishment is used  for our own good, right? I suppose some parents feel that's the only way their children will respond? So is this the God we admire, love and cherish,  the God we want to do things? And if you had the choice, would you rather be loved or feared? 

In today's world the word love has been seriously damaged. Just watch your television for a day,  and see all the bad behavior that people accept under  those words "but I love him?. Are just those words enough? 

I truly believe, at this time in our spiritual journey's history, we need to reevaluate our idea of Love, God,  Fear and Acceptance and Behaviour.

So let us begin with Fear. I can certainly understand the fear of God.  I have come to understand that it wasnt really that I feared Him, as much as I feared His displeasure.  It was my understanding of the relationship, that made me feel as if He was the parent...

When Disaster Strikes

May 8, 2007

           When Disaster Strikes

To continue along with this thought process, on the validity of Good coming out of evil. I was brought back to the recent events in both Greensboro Kansas, and the recent shootings at our high schools and university’s.

Let’s just begin with the idea that Good existed in these communities before the tragic events. People went there way in their daily lives maybe not thinking about God very much, and then after the happening, they begin to look up. When I say begin to look up, what I’m saying is, that they begin to call on God or see Him in action.

Calling on Him to lessen their hardships, or to help with the needed strength to make it through. For some, they begin to see the Good in their neighbor as the representation of the Goodness of God in man.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, that Goodness just didn’t come into being, after these events. It was there all long. There in those who call on Him in time of need, or in those who reached out to help themselves by helping others. Either way, it is the evil, that makes momentary events change,...

The Consiousness of Christ

May 6, 2007

                                         

What or where, is the consciousness of the earth today? What is our collective consciousness showing us? Is this truly the foundation we must lay, for the awaited second coming of the Christ?

Firstly, how is it we believe He has left? Was it not He who said:, " I will be with you all days even till the end of Time?” 

So what is our collective consciousness trying to show us? What exactly is the end of times? For some, Mother Nature is certainly giving them what they're looking for. And according to Revelations this is what will have to be, before we truly give our lives over to Him. However, why did we get to this point to begin with?

Is a Loving God testing His children again? What have we done or not done, to have destruction as our thanks in believing in Him?

Could it be that our consciousness helps to co-create our own destructive reality? And if that is so, and if we believe in this end of the world , as we know it: are we then helping to create the end of times as well? By the way, where did he go? Wasn't...

Today's Word is Purpose

April 28, 2007

 

Today's word is Purpose.

We of course all know we are here, and if we aren't searching for who we are (that search being part of its own purpose). Than we are not seeking our purpose, but rather on the constant hunt to be satisfied buy a temporal reality.Don't get me wrong, the physical world is the world of experience, however without looking to other realms of experience, will we ever truly find Purpose? And without that knowledge, will we ever be fulfilled?

I began this thought with the word purpose, and asked myself the question, are all things Purposeful? There are two schools of thought on this matter.

The first being, that all people, things, happenings are purposeful in God's sight.Than how is it, that He at times has banished what He saw as ill intentioned beings, from His sight? So from that point of view, the Higher Power does see certain intentions as not having the best purpose in mind. And in that moment, is seen as displeasing to His Spirit or Mind Heart of God  That might suggest that in God's HeartMind,  ones TRUE purpose does have a specific intent. An attitude rather than an outcome,that would please its Creator.

Then there's the school,...
