The world is crying

We can all hear the crying, we can hear the people sobbing, and we can all hear the sounds of their tears as they fall. We are not deaf to their sorrow, because we can all empathise with their pain, because we have all felt it at sometime, and we have all cried at the same pain at sometime in our own lives.
So why do we ignore it?

Everybody in the world knows that the way the ‘world’ is, is wrong, we all know that it should be better, fairer, kinder. But what do we do? Nothing, we just keep our heads down and keep on keeping on, we ignore the pain the world is in, as long as, we, at the time of the pain, do not ourselves feel the pain the world feels. As long as it’s happening to someone else, it is sort of, alright. We can accept it, justify it and assuage it with throwaway statements, the most prevalent of which is; ‘what can I do’.

Billions of people wake up each day in this world knowing that it is going to be another day of immense struggle just to feed themselves or their loved ones.
Millions of people wake up each day knowing they are going to experience fear for their lives throughout the day.
Millions of people wake up each day knowing they will not feel any happiness in their lives due to how they see the world.
Millions of people wake up each day with hate in their hearts for their fellow man.
Many people wake up each day wishing they hadn’t.

But there also lots of people in the world who wake up each day feeling ok, feeling good, feeling happy. Knowing that they will have enough food to eat without having to put in too much effort, knowing that the place they live is safe, secure and will provide them with opportunities to experience as much happiness as they chose to. There are people who wake up everyday in love with life, loving life and living to love.
But these people are in the minority.

The world is massively imbalanced; the people who wake up each day with (relatively) nothing to worry about are vastly outnumbered by those with incredibly debilitating worries. For every one person smiling, there are thousands crying, and this is wrong, and we all know it. I do not know of one person, have never met one person, who does not know it, we all do.
But what do we do about it?
The answer is nothing; we just all ignore the biggest problem in the world, we just keep our heads down, get on with it, think of something else, we just keep on keeping on, making excuses, and blaming someone or something else. We are a very selfish people. It’s no wonder there are so many tears in the world.

How many times have I heard the words ‘but what can I do?’ to this there is only one response: ‘what have you tried to do?’ 

The endless debate

​Throughout mans history the nature of God and the Creation of the universe has been debated and mused over, it seems the debate will go on unabated until mankind has been replaced by a new dominant species on the planet, one more suited to the ever-developing and changing environment in which evolving life finds itself, much as man has replaced the dinosaurs. 
There is the very real possibility that our species will never reach the edge of our solar system before we have become extinct, we are only at the stage where we are starting to debate the difficulties of reaching our nearest neighbour in the solar system. We will never reach the other side of our galaxy, we will never experience another galaxy except through a computerised lens or through theoretical posturing. We will never truly be able to contemplate the size of a galaxy, never mind anything else, and there are, apparently a hundred billion of those in the known universe. That makes the universe's size, far beyond the contemplative capacities of anything a human does, can or ever will possess, therefore, what chance do we have of understanding the force that created it?
We are very childlike in our attempts to understand reality, we will never know it, because we can never know it, we are not supposed to know it, thats not why we are here.
If you want to know how close we are to God or understanding the creation of existence, then merely look at all the weapons in the world, look at the prevalence of war, look at the hatred and division which is flowing through every society, look at the inequality between the 'races'. On a personal level, look at the greed, the insecurity, the excuses which govern our everyday lives. Do we exhibit the characteristics of a people who are destined to know God? 
No, instead we exhibit all the characteristics of a race of civilised barbarians, and until we start to understand and grasp the concept that we are all one, that we are all the same and we are all equal, then we will never actually come any closer to understanding what God may or may not be, or what God has created or hasn't. 
We have a lot of work to do before we get to the first stage of our spiritual development, and that stage will only be achieved when every man and women on the planet has an inveterate love for all of humanity and all of the other forms of life, it is the undeniable, mandatory truth, and the only rule.
Let Love Guide Every Action, and lets see where that takes us.

We are one big family

​
The simpler way to explain my comment is this...we are all one, we are all the same, every one of the people on this planet, we are all cells of the same organism, we are the living, breathing expression of God/Love, like one big diverse family. But so many of our brothers and sisters are unhappy, upset, frightened, in fear, scared, homeless and worst of all; starving, around three quarters of the world is starving, even though the world can easily make enough food for everyone. Weapons are bought by every country in the name of 'defence', billions are spent every year on them, while billions do not have enough food to eat. The world seems to be waging a war against mankind.
If I had nine brothers and sisters in my family, and all nine of them were suffering from fear, war, pain, disease, depression, insecurity, homelessness, poverty and starvation, but I was not suffering from any of these problems, then how could I be happy and content? How could I look towards a higher force and ask it to provide me with fulfilment and peace for my soul, knowing how much pain my family is in? I would be a very selfish person if I did not do everything I can to make my brothers and sisters lives as happy as mine was. I would not think of myself as worthy of Love/God if I ignored the problems affecting my family.
But the people of the world only see 'their own' people, and only think of the problems that affect 'their own kind' and this is so very wrong, and it is the exact opposite of the Divine principle of Love. We must love and care and help all of the human family, we must all work towards making the world a better place for everyone, not just our own, and that is the very minimum that we must do if we want to develop in a spiritual way that will one day lead us closer to understanding Love/God.
We all have different names for God. We may look different. We may speak different languages. But we all feel Love in the same way, because Love is what connects the world, it is the only thing that is the same in each and every person, and every culture in every country. 
It is said that Love has triumphed over hate, I would disagree. I would say that Love has survived in spite of the continued hatred and division, and war and violence. It continues to inspire us to fight hatred, but at the moment, unfortunately, hatred seems to be winning the battle, and I think the problem is that too many people are looking to the heavens, rather than looking at the state of the world they live in. And this is not how Love/God meant it to be.
We are all brothers and sisters in this world, and though we may look and speak differently, we all have the same parent, and that is undeniably, The Divine Force of Love/God. I think it's time we started to make our parent happy and the only way that can happen, is by showing and spreading our Love to all of the world, not just our own kind.

 

We are the same thing

There is no He, there is no We. There is Love, and Love is All there is, everything.And if You are, then you are something, and that should tell you all you need to know. Love is everything, it's the only thing that is, and the only thing you need. All the theories of existence exist because we invented them, but they are just deliberations of what may or may not be, they are fantasies of the mind, and as such are infinite. We can postulate everything, forever without end, because everything has no end, everything is eternal, and we will never know what that is because we are not eternal. We are us, we are finite, we are limited and we will stay that way until we all learn what All is, and that I'm afraid is not possible, not for now. But when we start to understand what we really are, when we remember, we will learn the Truth, we will learn Love, and we will learn that Love is All, everything, and all we will ever need.
We are the He, and He is We, we are Love, and Love is All there is. 
Life is given to us, and life is taken away from us, but we always have Love, it is the only eternal constant, we just need to remember it, it's All we need to know.
We need to remember the truth we've always known.

​

We only need Love

We don't need God and we don't need guns, what the world needs is love and understanding, it's the only answer to all the problems, and there is no problem in the world too big for love to fix. Love should be our only God.

​

Love is...

​Love is Gods aura
Love is Gods emanation
Love is Gods way of letting us know that God exists
Love is God

God is everything, everything in existence, and everything that has ever existed. All the matter, All the life, All the thoughts and All the feelings. All that was and All that ever will be. All
We will never be able to explain or understand the nature of God, for we are merely evolved animals.
The oceans of our own planet are still a mystery to us, so what chance do we have of understanding the force which created, maintains and develops All of existence. We cannot. But we can feel God.
Love connects us to God, and when we feel Love, no matter how strong or weak that feeling is, we are connecting with God. And when you know this truth, you realise that life is merely a set of varying circumstances which provide the opportunity to decide through experience, whether we prefer Love or hate, and there is not one person on the planet who genuinely prefers hate over Love, sadness over happiness or bad over good.
Love teaches us how to be good and it highlights when we have been bad, it is our true guide in life, and the rule by which all of our actions are judged against. 
The world may say this, that or the other, but we always look to Love for the answer, and we always find that answer deep within ourselves, in our soul, our higher form.
Life can sometimes makes us feel bad, but Love makes us feel good
Life may bring us down, but Love lifts us up
Life may be cruel, but Love is always kind
Love is our gift from God
Love is God.
 

​What happens when a lightbulb witnesses the brightness of the sun?

​A lightbulb is a machine made for illumination, it is made for only that purpose, and it serves that purpose perfectly when powered by it’s power source: electricity. Without electricity it is just an empty shell, it may have beauty in it’s curved form, it may be intricate in the threading of it’s element, its invention may be inspired, but it is essentially dead without the power source which gives it a reason to be. And its reason to be, is to light up the small part of the world in which it exists, it can be used for other things, but that is not why it is. It is light and that's why it is.
The sun is the biggest source of light we know of, it illuminates our world and all the worlds within its radiant beam, its light can be blocked out, but only with great and determined effort. We witness its power as a ball of light in the sky, hurting our eyes if seen directly, but we don’t immediately see all the good things its power brings to the world: the warmth, the life, the hope, the happiness, the energy, and similarly, all the pain it can cause: the burns, the dehydration, the drought, the famine, the desperation, the fires and the death. Depending on how you ‘look’ at the sun, it can be the giver of life or the bringer of death. But the sun is just the sun, a fiery ball of fusion, an unimaginably bright brilliance filling the space around it with pure, unequalled energy. Its use to us, lies in how we use its energy.
Now imagine the lowly lightbulb, content with its small output of lumens, everyday looking down on the less powerful lightbulbs, admiring and yearning to be like the more  wonderfully powerful lightbulbs it has seen, is suddenly placed next to the sun, right beside it, looking right at it, looking right into the biggest amount of light it could ever see, feeling its indescribably radiant light penetrating right through it, showing this lowly lightbulb what true, pure light really is. How would that little lightbulb feel?
The answer is nothing. The lightbulb would feel nothing but light, it would not feel good, bad or anything else except light, for light is why it is, and light is all it is, and in the presence of pure light, it would have no need for anything else, it would see, feel and know that the light it is bathed in is all that it needs, and all it would ever need. Its shape, its composition, its mass and its cost would all become meaningless. It would know the true meaning of its existence in a way that it had never known before.
This is how it is when God is truly witnessed. The Love that God spreads is all that is needed, and when it is felt by a lowly expresser of Love, that lowly expresser knows, and just knows instantly, that that is all there is and all that is needed. It needs no debate, no postulation, no imagining, no defining, no pictures, no imagery, no words. The power of the feeling would show that there are no words, there are NO words to describe such a powerful feeling, it would show that all the words are just the usual meanderings of the uncertain mind. The picture of God/Love cannot be painted.
The less powerful will always look up to the more powerful, and the more powerful will always feel above the less powerful, but they both share the same power, the ability to experience and feel the most powerful power that there is, and this is the true power.
We don’t need leaders to guide us, we only need Love, for Love is the only guide that will lead us to God. Everything else is imagery.

​My God and your God

Me - My God is the only God
You - So is mine
Me - My God created everything
You - So did mine
Me - My God is infinite
You - So is mine
Me - My God is everywhere
You - So is mine
Me - My God loves me
You - So does mine
Me - My God created the world for me
You - So did mine
Me - My God created heaven for me
You - So did mine
Me - My God wants me to love him
You - So does mine
Me - My God is everything in my life
You - So is mine
Me - I love my God
You - So do I
Me - My God wears Adidas
You - Ah, my God wears Nike
Me - I don’t believe in Nike
You - I don’t believe in Adidas
Me - I don’t like you
You - I don’t like you

It doesn't matter what the universe is...

​
It doesn't matter what the universe is, where it came from or where it is going, as it is of such a size and complexity as to be completely beyond human comprehension, and except for the continual 'scratching of the surface' of modern day scientific investigation, always will be. The same logic can be applied to the composition of the purported strings in string theory. How will we as a people, not just the scientific community, but the whole community of mankind, benefit from the acquisition of such knowledge. We also need to be careful of what we wish for. 
If I learn to fly, will I not learn to hate walking, if I seek out the wonders of the universe, will I not perceive the wonders of the world differently, if I become a God, will I not have disdain for mere mortals.
The beauty of our lives here on earth lies in the interaction with all the other life on earth, surely we have all we need here and now.
Every morning I hear the dawn chorus of birds singing in the trees behind where I live, is there a more beautiful sound to be heard than the sound of life heralding the start of another new day and another new, unknown adventure. Do the birds in the trees sit around discussing the size of the planet they live on, or why that planet spins in the way that it does, or do they just appreciate life and all the opportunities it gives to them.
We have all been given a free ticket to the greatest amusement park we could ever conceive of, does it really matter who made the rides or when they were made or what they are made of, does it really matter why the park is, where the park is, or how big the park is, should we not just get on the rides and enjoy them for what they are.
I love the universe, and I love finding out strange things about it, but I love life on earth a whole lot more. 
The universe is cold and dark and immense, but the earth is warm and bright and full of such immediate, touchable, seeable beauty as to provide me with all the happiness my heart could ever wish for, and I really can not imagine there is anything in the vastness of the undiscovered universe which can compare to the simple beauty, appreciated by a simple mind, of two or three kinds of birds singing in melodic unison in celebration of the sun rising and bringing light to their lives.
Love life and you will find that life loves you right back even more.

Never Forget

Never forget the attraction that brought you together. Never forget how in love you once felt. Never forget the passion you aroused in each other. Never forget how your heart used to pound. Never forget the longing you felt when apart from each other. Never forget the connection you felt you had (the connection that surely no other couple had ever felt as strongly). Never forget the future you saw with your partner. Never forget the dreams your partner caused you to have. Never listen to the phrases and cliches about married life. Never let anyone influence the love you have for your partner. Never forget how much sublime, indescribable, unbelievable mind-blowing love the love of your life once made you feel. And never forget that all these amazing things came into your life because of the person you knew you loved so much, you wanted to marry them and live with them, in love, forever. Never forget Love, and everything else will alright.

The Unshakeable Power Of (A Mothers) Love

I’d like to tell you about my little pigeon friend. 
I have a balcony attached to the front room of my apartment, it’s not a big balcony, just big enough to comfortably hold two foldable garden chairs. About six years ago, after the last of the summer months, I folded my chairs up, and leaned them against the wall so as to give me room to clean my windows. I didn’t bother replacing the chairs to their usual opened position as I knew I would probably not sit on the balcony for some time, not until the summer months returned. 
One day while sitting in my room, I heard the recurring, distinctive ‘coo’ of a pigeon, and so went out to my balcony to investigate, and found that a pigeon had made a small nest in the gap underneath the two chairs leant against the wall. I would normally have shooed away such an intrusion, but I felt a tinge of admiration for the pigeons industrious and opportunistic behaviour, so I let it stay. This was how I came to know my little pigeon friend.
Over the ensuing years, I have found out that the pigeon is female, and has had at least two ‘husbands’. I know this second fact due to the furtive scurrying away of herself and at least two distinctively different-looking male pigeons, after periods of heavy ‘cooing’ under the cover of my chairs, in what appears to be their ‘love-nest’! (her first suitor was with her for the first 3-4 years, whilst the second one has been around for the last 2 years).
Such amorous encounters have provided me with the opportunity, on some lucky occasions, to witness young pigeons being born and tended to, though there has been some occasions when she was not so lucky a parent. One time I found a dead young pigeon on my balcony with its necked pecked out, and another time a dead young pigeon missing its head, on both occasions I have assumed the murderer to be a visiting magpie, whom I have seen occasionally near the nest, and chased away with vigour. A couple of times over the years the young pigeon has just merely not survived. But my pigeon friend has been lucky enough over the years, to produce and raise some healthy, strong young pigeons, which have grown to be strong enough to leave the nest for a life of their own, due to my friends maternal diligence and motherly love, and it is an aspect of this which i have witnessed which has given me such immense pleasure to behold, and it is this, which I would now like to describe.
My pigeon friend knows very well that she is living on my balcony, and she regularly demonstrates this by fleeing from her nest each and every time I open my door and step out onto the balcony (sometimes in sheepish embarrassment, as when accompanied by her ‘husband’!). She will run to the adjoining balcony and carefully watch my movements, whilst perched on the railing ready to abscond. She knows very well that I am a large, potentially dangerous creature with the ability to cause her damage, possibly fatal.
But there is one time when she doesn’t flee, even when she hears my door open, even when she senses my footsteps and my looming presence, even when she can see my shadow stooping low to peer right into the nest, right at her, right into her tiny eyes, face to face, and I know immediately on these occasions why she is not running away, this is the time she is sat on top of her babies.
From the time she lays her eggs, until the time the babies are virtually fully formed pigeons, she will not run away, she just sits there motionless on top of her babies, staring at me as I stare directly at her, my face not more than 12 inches away from hers. She just sits there, watching me, not moving an inch, not even flinching, all the time protecting her babies, and though I don’t speak pigeon and she doesn’t speak human, I know exactly what she is saying to me.
Her eyes are saying: ‘No, not this time, I will not run away this time, I will run away from you every other time, but not now, this is too important, my babies are too important to me’. And so she sits there, unmoving, unflinching, in complete defiance, less than 12 inches away from the biggest, most powerful, most potentially dangerous creature she will ever have to face in life, but she will not run away and abandon her babies whilst they still need her protection. 
Her bravery is staggering, her commitment is resolute and unwavering, and her eyes exhibit one of the most powerfully spellbinding and beautiful aspects of nature: a mothers love. 
To my eyes, she exhibits Love as it should be, something more important than anything else, even her own safety, something so important to her, she will face a giant monster and say 'No, Love is more than you, Love is more important than you'. And her Love is so strong, so pure and so clear, that the monster just goes away.
 

There is nothing in life more important than Love, everyone knows this.
 

Nature is just nature

Nature is just nature, it is a result of the various elements of our world working in synergy to produce an environment which at the moment sustains human life. In the future, a slight variation in the interaction of those elements may well result in an environment totally unsuitable for humans, at which point, a new species may well rise and become the dominant influence on earth, maybe the ants, for example. In this scenario, where does the human concept of God fit in? Did the dinosaurs prostrate themselves at the altar of a divine and eternal reptile? Will the God of the future Earth be capable of lifting many more universes than it’s own weight?
The water that nourishes and gives life to the earth, falls as a result of precipitation and evaporation, cloud movements and pressure. The sun which gives life by way of light and warmth, is an example of nuclear fusion. Gravity keeps us safely anchored to this planet due to the attractive power of the movement of mass. 
These things, all so vitally necessary for life, are not examples of God, they are examples of nature, that wonderful marriage of elements and reactions, causes and effects, which constitute the most astonishingly beautiful and observable thing in our lives, of which we are, to us at least, it's most amazing example.

Should we worship and pray to electricity every time we finish watching a TV program we have enjoyed?
Should we worship the sun, after we have eaten a sweet, ripe apple?
Is the warmth and life that the sun gives us, in every apple?

Are you aware of the day-to-goings on of every one of the 100 trillion atoms that make up every cell in your body?
Do you actively interfere in the day-to-day activities of the 100 trillion cells that make up your body?
Do you consciously guide and facilitate all of the countless internal chemical reactions necessary to your continued existence?
Or do you just deal with the ‘bigger picture’, the YOU and your day-to-day life, knowing that all the tiny elements that enable your life (atoms, nucleic acids, amino acids, cells, etc…) will keep on doing what they do, what they have always done, without the need for your awareness, attention and interference.

Imagine the futility of an atom attempting to estimate the size of a human being
Now imagine the stupidity of an atom trying to understand the thoughts of a human being
Now do you see the lunacy of a human being trying to decipher the ways, means and nature of God?

The earth is an atom, the galaxy is a cell, the universe is the body, God is the mind and Love is the soul. 

God/Love does not deal with the cells or the atoms or the sub-atomic particles that constitute existence, for God/Love has given all of them all the tools they will ever need to do the job they were put here to do. 
God/Love has given them existence, energy, and most importantly to us humans, Love.
What more is there to give? 
How much more do you want?

​The True Higher Force

The human invention of God obviously does not exist. It is quite obviously a tool that enables the mechanism of control to flourish. It is the epitome of 'divide and rule' and 'do as you're told'. But there is a true higher force, one as equally misunderstood, one which is everywhere, in everything, controlling the destiny of every life and all of existence. An all-powerful force which cannot be denied, cannot be seen nor heard, but which can be felt anytime we want or anytime we need its strength. A force of such immense power, it can convert the most ardent disbeliever in an instant, and cause that convert to believe in its doctrine, without coercion, forever. A force which can unite all of the people of the world in true unity and brotherhood and put an end to all the fighting and all the hatred. A force which truly fills our hearts with joy. A force which makes us feel truly blessed. We all know the name of this higher force, every single one of us, and we all know it's the the only force worth believing in.

It Is Love.

Terror, Hate and Fear

Until everyone in the world realises that Love is the only answer to the worlds problems, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that Love is the only belief worth believing in, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that Love is the reason why they live, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that Love is what makes everything in existence, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that Love cannot be prayed to, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises the true nature and the true power of Love, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that humans are the living embodiment of Love, this is going to keep happening. Until everyone in the world realises that there is only one truth - The Divine Force Of Love, this is going to keep happening. Love is All, and we all need to know it, it's the only way we can stop these things happening.

In the beginning...

​In the beginning 'God' created possibility, possibility created energy, energy created elements, elements created matter, matter created the universe, the universe created forces, forces created stars and planets, stars and planets created nature, nature created life, life created us, we created thought and thought created possibility.

And all this was made with Love

Love cannot be seen

​Ravi Shankar once said to George Harrison that "you cannot believe in God until you've seen him". I wonder how many people are happy to flip that coin over and say "I cannot believe in God because of the evidence I have personally witnessed that definitely proves he or she or it does not exist". Most people believe whatever they are told as long as the person telling them is, in their own mind, someone worth believing [in]. Most people are too scared and insecure to believe in their own strength and their own ability to solve their own problems and to figure out life for themselves, so they look to leaders to lead them and gurus to guide them. Most people live their whole lives in fear of anything that may rock their steady little boat, or cause them to think something that may cause them to question how they live their lives. Most people prefer to be in fear than to be free. Love is the real God, and the only time God comes before Love, is in the dictionary. And Love cannot be seen.

​Why are you alive

​Are you alive just so you can get through the day? Are you alive just so you can look up to someone? Are you alive just to follow someone? Are you alive just so you can live a life dictated by someone else and their rules? Are you alive just so you can toe whatever line you are told to toe? Are you alive just so you can accrue pieces of metal, or numbers on a screen? Are you alive just so you can say "those bricks are mine"? Are you alive just so you can give life to someone else? Are you alive just to make up the numbers? Are you alive just so you can one day die? If so, are you really living? Belief in this, belief in that, belief in some crazy other...Believe in yourself and all the Love that is within you. Believe there is nothing in your life more important than the Love you feel. Believe there is nothing as important as showing that Love to others. Believe in Love and its power to make your life beautiful and worth living, and you won't need to believe in anything else. 

​What happened before the Big Bang?...
 

'What happened before the big bang' and 'what are the strings in string theory made of', these questions are as important and as relevant to life on Earth as 'what trainers does God wear'.

The world, the universe and everything you will ever see is merely a dynamic three dimensional image, more akin to a hologram than any human concept of 'reality', and this image is given depth and dimension (and importance) by your interaction with it. Your mind is the screen upon which the image is projected, and it is your mind which determines the value and importance of the image perceived.
Just like a human controlled computer character walking through an endless computer-generated landscape, you must decide how far you want to go, and why you want to go there. 
There are billions of galaxies in the immensely vast universe, just as there are billions of people in the world without food, which of these two facts is more deserving of your/our attention?
We all dance to the tune encoded in our DNA, and that tune has always told us to dance and sing and laugh and Love. 
So the universe is vast, immense, spellbinding and not-yet-understood, but the truth is, by the time humanity has ceased to exist, humans will have discovered and understood less than a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a percents worth of the truth about its depth and complexity - the extent of the image is far too beyond the reach of our stunted, ego-centric minds. 
How about setting our strongest minds the task of feeding, clothing and housing the worlds poor.
How about figuring out why we still need war.
How about working together as a unit to try and make the world we live in a better place for everyone.
How about doing something good, rather than something, ultimately, pointless and irrelevant.

The image in front of our eyes is truly wondrous, it can project such beauty and serenity into our minds, it can provide us with amazing and memorable experiences, it can make us dance and sing, laugh and Love. It can teach and it can confuse. 
It can do many things, but only if our minds allow it to.
The image was never meant to be dissected and analysed, it was meant to be enjoyed, just as the computer game was never meant to be cross examined.

The universe is as deep and vast as you want it to be.
Whatever existed before the Big Bang, depends on what you want to believe existed before it.
Only you can decide whether a God or a non-God created whatever the totality of everything is.
Life is what you make it.

You are the world. 
And the universe, reality and everything else can only exist in one place, the only place it has ever existed; within your and everyone else's mind. 
'Reality' is just a collation of everyone's personal perception.

So keep playing your games, keep scratching your heads, keep debating the unknowable, keep arguing and falling out, keep dancing to a tune you were not made to dance to, keep ignoring the elephant/soul in your hearts. 
Just keep ignoring the truth that always calls to you.
Just keep ignoring the truth you've always known.

You were made to live and learn from the image how to live a life of Love, and to know why Love is why you live.
You were not made to waste your time debating the mass of nothing.

It's time to wake up.
It's time to remember who you are.

Marriage

​Too many people fall for the lie that routine and routine excuse making is how they are supposed to be, and that life is ultimately a routine of everyday rituals and mundane rules. It's not.

Life is a gift, life is a pleasure, and when you find someone you truly love and who loves you just as much that you want to spend your whole life with them, then you are truly blessed. It is easy to forget why you live together, why you have children together, why you know each other so well you could second guess each other's every move, and marriage has an awful habit of allowing people to fall into a routine that causes them to forget these things. You are together because Love caused such a feeling within you that you once felt that you could not live without that person. Marriage, and it's cliches and routines causes you to forget that feeling, and replaces it with a familial version of Love. You just need to remember the exciting Love you once felt and all the excitement that it made you feel.

We are scared

​We are far too quick to mock what we don't understand. We laugh at those who say things that are merely different from the norm. We desperately want to fit in. We pollute our bodies with poisons. We fight that pollution with other poisons. We then rely on the advocates of poisons to cut out the result of the poisoning. We are sacred to ask why. We are scared to question. We are scared of seeming different. We ignore the wide scale poisoning of our world. We prefer treatment to prevention. We demonise drugs, but not the legal ones. We spend our lives being told what to do. We think what we are told to think. We just want to be normal. We are always looking to excuse our behaviour. We hate to take responsibility for our own actions, we feel uncomfortable around anyone who does. We like to surround ourselves with like-minded people, we like how safe it makes us feel. We don't vocally judge, for fear of being judged. We are small, and we are scared. Scared to be different.  

Technology

​All the doom filled prophecies concerning technology and the deleterious effect it will have on humanity will only manifest if the humans that are humanity allow it to happen. Robots will not take anyone's livelihood or virginity if we all see through the lie that is always subtly being taught to us that technology is somehow better than organic, real, human life. AI will not take over any aspect of the world or threaten our existence if we don't allow it to by not blithely facilitating its predicted ruinous implementation. Children will not grow up ignoring the majesty and magic of nature in favour of being mesmerised by meaningless information displayed by small hand held computers if they don't learn it from the adults from whom they learn everything from. The mindless human worship and adoration of technology is simply a result of people's inability to express their true selves in an ever increasingly callous world whose primary function seems to be the eradication of the human ability to express the beauty, empathy, humanity and Love found within every normally functioning human being.

We are not robots and we never will be, no matter how much the world wants us to be.

What is need?

​We need food to eat and water to drink, a place to live and clothes to wear, but we do not need to pay for these things. We need to do the jobs that are essential to the maintenance of human life on planet Earth, but we do not need to do the jobs which merely facilitate another persons increasing wealth. We need to look after and appreciate the world we live in, we do not need to know if life exists in a far away galaxy we have no hope of ever visiting. We need to feed and house and clothe the people of the world, we do not need to build weapons to constantly wage war with those people. We need equality. We need respect. We need empathy. We need Love. We need family and we need friends. We need the things money pays for, we do not need a system of paying for those things. We need to realise who we are and why we are. We do not need to be slaves to money 'til we die. We need to be happy and we need to be free. We do not need excuses as to why we are not. We need to understand what need is.

Two Roads

Our bodies are merely the vehicles which afford our minds the opportunity to take part in the game of life, and the game of life always presents us with the option of driving our vehicles down one of two roads.

The first road, much like a motorway, has many people driving on it, all driving in formation, all in line, all following the rules of the road.
The second road, much like a road cutting through a forest, has but a few people on it, they are far and few between, there are not so many rules to follow on this road.

The first road is long, straight and smooth, with no sudden twists or turns to react to and no bumps or potholes to avoid. A bit like a motorway.
The second road is bendy, bumpy, gravelly, rough and uneven, with plenty of perils and pitfalls to avoid. A bit like a rally course.

The first road is safe.
The second road is not so safe.

The first road get us where we are going quickly.
The second road takes us more time.

The first road is championed as the safest and best way to travel.
The second road is admonished for its uncertainty and danger.

The first road requires its drivers to be compliant and orderly.
The second road requires its drivers to be alert and quick thinking. 

The first road demands a knowledge of the rules of the road.
The second road demands a knowledge of driving.

You can choose to drive down the easy, smooth and straight road, the prosaic and ordered one, you can choose to be safe and compliant and ordinary, like all the other ordinary people driving safely down the safe road, all of them trying to be the same as everyone else, or you can choose to be different from the multitudes all doing what the multitudes do so well. You can choose, right now, or any time you want, to be different than that, and to choose to drive down a different road, one not so safe, smooth, predictable and ordinary, one not governed by enforced rules and regulations, one that does not demand utterly compliant and ordered behaviour, you can, if you want to, choose to drive your way through the woods, through the trees, through the mud and the puddles, on the gravelly, rough uncertain terrain, over the roots and under the branches. You can choose, anytime you want to, to drive through the beauty of the forest, and all the uncertainty and excitement that would inevitably bring, or you can choose to stick to the road you know best, the one you've always known, the one you feel safe driving on, the one that asks nothing of you. 
One road may be safe, secure, easy and predictable, whereas the other may be dangerous, uncertain, at times hard and unpredictable, and so you have to ask yourself a question; ‘what do I want from life, what road do I want to drive down?’
But when you drive down the easy and safe road all your life, eventually you will find that you become accustomed to driving that way, and if ever, for some reason life diverts you onto a different road, one not so safe and smooth, you may find that you have forgotten how to drive on such a road, you may find that your driving ability has been greatly reduced by all the years of safe, secure driving, and you may find the diverted route incredibly difficult to handle, and you may have trouble negotiating such a path, one you have not had to encounter for so long a time, as a result of favouring the safe and secure and easy road for most of your life. 
Now if you choose, like so very few people do, to drive all your life down the rough, treacherous, dangerous, uncertain and exciting path, you will, everyday and every minute, have to be bright, aware and alert to all the dangers that the road has to offer, you will have to hone and constantly improve your driving skills in an on-going effort to deal with the ever changing, constantly challenging environment in which you continually find yourself, you will, essentially, have to become very skilled in the art of driving to drive on such a road. But in doing so, without even realising it, you will eventually become so adept and expert at driving your vehicle, you will have prepared yourself for any eventuality that the road may pose you, and you will have trained yourself to be able to adroitly drive down any road, in any environment, without fear, concern or apprehension. And you will, if you love driving, have loved (nearly) every single minute of it; you will have felt your heart pound, you will have felt your adrenaline rush, you will have felt your excitement peak, you will have felt the wonder of spontaneity, and you will know, as much as anyone can, how thoroughly enjoyable driving can be, and how amazing the game of life is.

One road is smooth and straight, safe and boring.
The other is bendy and bumpy, dangerous and exciting.

What road do you want to drive down?
What do you want from life?

When you run from the truth 

When you run from the truth, you run into the arms of lies. Not many people like telling the truth, for as liberating as it makes them feel, it also frightens them, the consequences of telling the truth truly frightens most people, but most people seem to have no such problem with employing excuses, and seem to genuinely relish the comfortability of being able to rely on excuses whenever they need to, whenever they are too uncertain of themselves to admit the truth. Not many people know how to express themselves as honestly, openly and as truthfully as they would like to; to faithfully portray how they feel themselves to be on the inside - in their soul, but most people are sufficiently expert in acting out the role of ‘normal member of society’; the person they feel, as a result of the pressures that society exerts upon them, that they should be on the outside - in the 'real’ world (in society). Most people know the definition of sin, but not many people are willing to acknowledge their own devotion to and worship of and craving for, money. Most people would not openly admit to being selfish, but would freely admit to, genuinely and deservedly, only actively caring about ’theirs’ and ‘their own kind’. Most people, in their quietest of moments, would recognise themselves as being weak or ineffectual, the same people attempt to allay any confessional guilt by convincing themselves of the strength and validity of conformity - better to fit in than to be yourself…try to be as normal as you can…work at being just like everyone else…be different, but not too different…don’t stand out…don’t make waves, etc, etc, etc. Most people choose to ignore their inner strength in favour of adhering to the strange, enfeebling, inhibiting rules of societal conformity, merely out of an ingrained, insecure and irrational fear of...'what people might say’.

Lies and excuses equals easy, truth and honesty equals effort, an effort most people are just not prepared to make. And the resulting weakness of all the other effort, the effort to be merely the same as others and nothing more, the effort to conform and be someone you are not, the effort to toe the line and follow the program and do as you’re told, the effort to continually ignore your intrinsic instincts, your true self, and your inner strength, is the very weakness that the religions of the world feed on. They prey on the shallow feeling you get when you do not express yourself as you truly want to, that empty feeling you feel when you know the world does not really know who you really are, that confusing feeling of knowing that there is so much more of you to give, that desperation you have, to show the world all the kindness in your heart, that yearning you have to be free to express all the Love you feel in your soul, but do not have the strength, nor confidence, to express. This is the food that feeds the religious creeds, this is the lifeblood of their industry, this is the energy that powers their divisive doctrines, and without it, they know only too well, that their lies, make-believe and nonsensical stories would never, and could never, be taken seriously. They fill the void of your insecurity with the unbelievable, and they make you believe what you would never believe, if only you believed in yourself. 

When people start to realise the strength in being truthful, being honest and being themselves, whoever they are, then they will no longer need to run to the religions for the answers that are only to be found within, and they will no longer require alleviation from the pain and uncertainty of living their lives as small, shallow, scared little shadow versions of their true selves. You are strong. You are unique. You know the truth, and you know when you are being lied to. Trust in the truth you know to be true. Don’t be scared to be yourself. Don’t be scared to show the world the real you. Don’t worry about what they might say. Don’t be scared of the Love you feel, because the Love you feel inside, is the greatest gift you can ever give to the world outside.

You are Love, and you know it, and now is the time to show it. 

This is the Truth.

The soul just knows

The words of the mind fight against it, but the soul knows.
The words of the mind have been fed into the mind, but the soul just knows.
The words of the mind can fight with sticks and stones, guns and knives, but the quiet voice of the soul doesn't fight, it doesn't need to, it only needs to know.
For when you know, you know, and when you know, you know there is no way to beat knowing.

The mind is filled with words specifically put there to drown out the quiet voice of the soul, to stop us hearing and knowing the truth, but when all the words have shouted, screamed and distorted, the quiet voice of the soul will always still be able to be heard.

The words that fill the mind come from the mouths of men, and by the hand of man, both based on what man has chosen to believe.
But the quiet voice of the soul, does not come from man, the quiet voice of the soul is from a place much higher than man or matter or form.

You can choose to be imprisoned by the words of man that fill your minds, or you can decide to listen to the quiet voice of the soul and let the truth set you free.

The words of life that fill your mind cause you to continually fight the truth you know to be true. Your fight is not with life, it is with yourself, and every time you ignore the truth that is within you, you land another blow.

Why does a flower grow?

Why does a flower grow?
We know how a flower grows,
We know how it uses the sun,
We know how it attracts bees,
We know how it spreads it seeds,
We know how it dies,
But why does it do what it does,
How does it know how?

Why do we live?
We know all about conception,
We know all about nutrition,
We know all about learning,
We know all about ageing,
We know all about death,
But why do we do all that we do?
What impels us?

Does the rotation of the Earth depend upon flowers flowering?
Does the brightness of the sun rely upon humanity living?
Does existence need life?
Is there any point in anything?
Is everything not just dust waiting to be taken by the wind?
Does the end negate the beginning?
Does the now have no purpose?

A flower is beautiful, colourful and sweet.
Bees love flowers.
Life is beautiful, wondrous and full of adventure,
We love life.
And there is only one thing we love more than life,
And that is Love.
Love is how we know, Love is what impels us,
Whether you are a flower, or a human, or life,
Love is why.

What a ride

​We are always trying to find out who made the amusement park, when it was made and why it was made and what it was made of. We stand at the side of the thrilling rides and say “wow, aren’t these rides amazing, however were they made”, we then study them, measure them, analyse them, we take great amounts of time wondering about the mechanics of them, we scratch our heads and say “why these rides, why not some other”, we debate the rides and we occasionally argue over them. We ask “why, when and by whom and for what purpose”.
Has no one ever yet realised the purpose of the rides and the amusement park?
We are supposed to ride the rides and enjoy the experience of the park. No more, no less, because when we learn to appreciate how much fun the rides of the park can be, then we will realise all we will ever need to know and we will release that we have all we need, and we always have. 
And eventually, we will know the Truth - we are, and is just is, and that is All
