Giving|Kindness




















Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.' “ - Matthew 25:41-45

As far back as I can remember I was told to share. I was taught that whenever I saw an unfortunate person, down on their luck, I should give to them generously! I never truly questioned why and I simply believed that it was just the way things worked. As I have grown and have met new, different peoples I see that very few individuals believe in this universally invaluable practice. Even worse still, those that do give to others do so with a bitter heart!

As I know many others do not yet share my view of a universal “God Puzzle”, they would not recognize themselves in the faces of those they refuse or resent. They would not see God staring them in the face asking for mere scrapings. Allow me now to share with you my view of giving, of kindness and of love for ones fellow man and let it shape your thoughts, direct your mind, towards a selfless, universal consciousness!

Influence














 “Our thoughts are unseen hands shaping the people we meet. Whatever we truly think them to be, that's what they'll become for us.” - Richard Cowper

As I see it there are three main factors influencing the world around us. Together these expressions of God form the day to day experience of life.

  • God as a whole
  • God as everyone around us
  • God as ourselves

By identifying how each of these pieces function to formulate facets of the Illusion, the “reality” we perceive from day to day, we get a fuller grasp on who we are and to what extent we function as creators. Not only creating physical possessions, but also crafting our very “reality”. Explore with me now as I share with you a deeper look into the forms God uses to influence the world around us.

Dogma


“I AM WHO I AM"

When we think of God, most often we see a modernized Judeo-Christian portrayal, the same image broadcast by the media. Perhaps an older fellow with a large gray beard, flowing white robes, maybe some sandals ala Air Moses, but rarely do we stop to think, mostly due to the paradigms we live life according to; Is this REALLY God?

Shouldn't you instead stop and think, "What does God always encompass?", or rather, "What qualities does God always seem to have in most spiritually inclined belief structures?" Then, I feel, you would begin to see a total truth and formulate a real image of who or what God is, outside of all the religious Dogma.

Who|What am I?

“God said, Let us make man in Our image” (Genesis 1:26

This simple, yet complex question is asked by everyone seeking peace of mind at one point in their life. Am I a Man? Am I a Spirit? Am I a Soul? Am i an Alien? All too often this most asked question goes, sadly, unanswered! Despite the number of contemporary religious belief systems, self-help humanistic ideologies and no matter how often it is asked, most of man-kind in this modern age does not seem to have an answer.
