Why try to convert other to your own beliefs?

If god had wanted only white people to be important– she/he would have created us all white.
If god had wanted only men to be important – she/he would have created us all men.
If god had wanted only straight people to be important – she/he would have created us all straight
If god had wanted us to all think the same – she/he would have created us to all think the same.
Yet in truth god created us as complex sentient beings that require many skills and each other to survive.
Perhaps god had only one thing in mind – put many in the pot and see how well they mix!
If that’s the case – So far we are a bit of a letdown.
But who knows maybe god in his/her wisdom knows what will come next once we leave this world and is attempting to prepare us for it! Or perhaps god is expecting more from us and is eternally disappointed by his/her creations.

Either way until god comes down here and tells me to worship him/her, I for one will continue to talk to him/her, share with him/her and explore him/her in the one place I know it is truly safe to do so, within my own heart.

A Letter to the Leaders of the World

Nov 18th, 10 / 0 Comments

Many judge us by our choices. Many define the world trough their judgement of what is right and wrong. Many choose to live by a dogma or philosophy which judges others and them. Yet the world is a place of ever-changing growth and visions. A voice echoes out around the world at the moment to end poverty and bring change to the way we govern ourselves and our world.  Some say we have a responsibility to those who are weaker and less able to help themselves.  Some say they should and will learn one way or another.  Yet we each feel something about that issue. In general we will push aside those feelings as we know we cannot change things for those people.  However, those in a position to do so, whom deny their feelings and the truth of their own actions, will live with the consequences of their choices. Often those denied feelings transform into health issues or family issues and the troubles of the outside world then become yours. Perhaps this too is another philosophy, yet it is one defined by my own personal experiences.

In truth there is little known about life, other than this;

We are here for a limited amount of time. How long; depends entirely on how involved you get and where you go and who you mix with.

Everything you experience comes with thoughts and feelings. We cannot escape them and they do weigh us down if we try.

Everything we do affects others in some way. Whether it is a word or action our choices touch the lives of others. Those influences can last for generations.

Carry this knowledge in the choices you make and perhaps you will choose to co-create a better experience for all of us instead of just for you and yours.
