Why religion? (B)

 

    In continuing from the article part (A). Sometime people belong to a religion basically depending what situate to their needs or to their convenience. And sometime people belong to a religion for political or corporate influence. And sometime they look for religion that would have more of a economic opportunity. There was a time when people were born into religion based on their family religious background, in another word, a family tradition. And if you would have some sort of conflict from one reason or another, you will search for other religion congregation, but in a different denomination. Like you probably will go to a reform or conservative or even orthodox denomination.But you will be in the same religion in which you grow up in.

    But nowadays people change religion like they changed the shirt. If it doesn't fit them or look good on them, than just take out that shirt and go get another one. As an example. I had a friend who was in the Jewish religion, and because he was complaining that the people was praying like robots, and not truly expressing the meaning of the word that they were praying he decided to leave. So he change to Christianity. And now after few years and participating with the Christian religion, he started complaining that they also pray like robots and not truly expressing the meaning of every word in the prayer.

    I told him that the true meaning and purpose of religion is the teaching in the holy books or Scriptures. If you belong or join a religion and rely on the people of that group, you may always find some sort of conflict. For it is not the people of that Institute that makes a religion, but rather in the teaching of the founder master.

    If you see that there is a problem in the way the congregation project that religion in the wrong way, then you should try to become a good example. Show them the right way to truly practice that particular religion you belong to. Try to be the best example that you can be as in the teaching of that particular religion. That is how you truly practice the religious belief. Because no matter where you go you will probably find something that you may not like or understand. And if you look real closely. Maybe the problem is not in the religious Institute but within yourself. The whole purpose of having a religious foundation is that you will grow and become aware of your true spiritual nature.
You will not find your spiritual awakening in any building structure or even in a particular place. And if you do find some spiritual awakening from being inside a building or in a place, It is all because you were there. At the end it all depend upon you. But if you do find yourself in a religion that will help you grow spiritually, make sure that your choice is because of the teaching of that religion, not on how grander of the building structure it may be. Or how you may be surrounded by thousands of people belong in that religion or the building may be decorated in gold. But what the Scripture will teach you. Humanity are easily impress by the surrounding but forget of the spiritual growth.

Wisdom from an Owl. (F)

"Wisdom"

Wisdom come in many shapes and sizes.

Not all wisdom fit on all people for different reason and belief.

If your heart or mind is not in harmony or internal calm, it is like putting a circle peg in a square hole.

Also, not all wisdom work at all the time.

One thing is factual that we should keep looking for wisdom even if we do not fully understand some of them.

Wisdom from an Owl. (E)

Do you look like G-d?

This is a triangular prism.

I will use this as a representation.

The single light represent the creator divine particles.

The prism represent the physical soul.

The multicolor represent the manifestation or image of the body.

Perhaps this is why they say that we are the image of the creator.

Of course we are but more complex.

Is Life like the movies? (A)

 

   

   We all love to see the movies and enjoy their amazing story and ending. But is life like the movies? Yes and no. It's all depending on the individual and what life has in store for them. Movies are designed to entertain us, and inspire us. Movies play with our motion and make us cry, feel happy and uplift our imagination and boldly go where no man has gone before. And sometime in the movies they come up with these catchy phrase that later we use in our daily life. When we use these phrases we feel like a part of the movie coming into life, so then we feel that life is like the movies.

    We try to reenact those moments in the movies and try to inspire the special moment. Just like in the movies. But sometime life is in like in the movies. And this what brings me to make in this article, to tell people not to let disappointment dictate the life. I do too also would like to see moments in the movie be projected in my daily life, but I do realize that we are all individual and we have our own destiny be on the reality of movies.

   We imagine those special moments how we would like to situation to be played out in our life. So we use the movies as a guide and try to play the role in creating the scenery just as we see it in the movies. And to be honestly, that's really not a bad idea, but we also have to realize that they are other factors that plays in our lives. We all have special experience that we must go through to learn and to grow.
 

   

   We all see these movies with two people meet and fall in love, and have romantic moment in front of a beautiful scenery of a sunset in some romantic places. And then having a family with kids that are well behaved and good manners. And then these children grow to be well educated and going off to a well-known university, and graduate with honor and enter in a professional field. But then we get disappointed that those moments in the movie, do not play out the way we wish to see in our life.

 

   

   During the time when the holidays grow near we begin to plan those perfect holidays. With family gather together to feast together and celebrate the special holidays. When we gather together and celebrate our prosperity and spread good cheer to all. But then we get disappointed that some terrible tragic or a disaster occur. Even if we do not mention it but sometime people feel that somehow they have been punish for one reason or another. And this is far from the truth.
   If you ask anyone who been through the same situation of disappointment, or if you look within yourself when the similar situation has happened to you. Almost everyone would agreed that they believe that this is some sort of punishment for not letting these special moment as seen in the movies to come into reality. Although we try very hard to create those moment. Just like the way we saw them in the movies, like it's not like the movies.

   But I can tell you right now It is not a punishment. Although we cannot see at the very moment why these terrible things happen to us, but as time goes by will begin to say a deeper meaning for these terrible things. Life is temporary and we are here traveling through life like a passenger. Although we are responsible for our action and will eventually create our destiny, but we are not the driver of what life would take us. Although sometime in our life we do have those moments that have beautiful sunset or that will uplift ourselves and take us to great inspiration. You must have heard many time people saying "look around you and appreciate what you have, for they are other people who have nothing" or "do not complain about your shoes for look behind you a you may find someone that doesn't have a leg".

   We always wish for more but we should appreciate what we have now. But don't stop dreaming are hoping for we all deserve also the very best that life has to offer. We just have to wait for the creator than knows what we need the most.

Wisdom from an Owl. (D)

"The true path to the light"

knowledge is not significance.

Universal power is in a significance.

Enlightenment is not significance.

But you action are significance.

In the majority of all the Torah,Bible,Koran and other Scriptures, teach you how to take action to be a better human being.

And that is more important in stretching out to the creator.
(The light)

Just like this tree knew that when it began as a seed.

Wisdom from an Owl. (C)

The water represent your sense, emotion, desire and intense feeling.

The mountain of represent your thought, ego, conscious and knowledge.

The only gear you need is you Will.

 Your Will will overcome all obstacle.

If you have a deep believe that nothing can stop you from going over the mountain, then you will.

And what will you find there?

Your true self, and it is not your physical body.

Wisdom from an Owl. (B)

If you meet someone say something NICE.

If you meet someone make a good DEED.

If you meet someone give a nice SMILE.

If you may someone and they want to start a WAR, tell them to go to !@#&%!.

But say it in a nice way.

Wisdom from an Owl. (A)

   In this temple (which is the body), you will find many rooms (which is the conscious).

And in each rooms there is a little piece of your soul (the real I AM).

In this room you will find good things about your. Like good thoughts, good deed, good action and more.

And those rooms the door is open with light for all to see.

But in some other rooms you will find your sins that you made through your life, but those doors up close and dark.

To be forgiven you must go to each room and opened the door and let the light Ray come and.

Do not stand at the door and wait to be forgiven, you must 1st about of the room and forgive yourself, and then asked for forgiveness.

For it was your action that you made those sin and it is your action that you must forgive yourself.

Only then all of your soul will see the light in the temple.

Why care about politics.

Please take the time to read this article for it is not what you think it is.
 
   All my life politics has never been my strong point. Even in school government class it was difficult to understand or I really did not have too much interest in the subject. Even today, politics is too complicated, and it just does not attract me too much.
But the thing is that do interest me are things like religion spirituality,art, gardening, woodworking, teaching and the little bit of science. These are the subject to fascinate me the most. I wake up every morning thinking about spiritual wisdom and philosophy striving to become a better person in a spiritual and physical aspect. Investing my free time working in my vegetable garden growing healthy food. And once in a while finding wood that people throw away, and then making new furniture out of old wood. And then in the evening watching Discovery Channel or history channel or science channel. See educational programs about history and learning how the universe is all about. These are the things that really motivate me and inspire me.
 
  But politics is usually the last thing on my mind. But in 1984 I just graduated from high school. Despise of the things that I mostly like to do, I began to notice that sometime it is a little bit difficult to do the things that you like when they are certain things happening in our society. I am not saying that it is impossible to fulfill your dream or your desire, despise what is going on around you. But it does make it a little bit harder to concentrate on the things you like to do.
Usually people will probably react by hating what is going on and become a rebellion. It usually the the 1st reaction that people do.  Although I hate at what was going on, I luckily never became a rebellion. And by what I mean things going on around me, I mean like the economy, our government and world event.
   But instead, I became to be more curious of what was going on and how it was affecting my lifestyle. Despise how much I have little interest in politics or even government function, I began to realize that it had a tide with the things that we do in our daily life. We have taken for granted the luxury that we have in our life. like when I wake up every day thanking the creative for another day, then walking into the bathroom and washing my hands and face.  And then going to the kitchen and prepare myself some morning breakfasts. Not realizing for single moment that I have been enjoying the luxury of having indoor plumbing, and a indoor kitchen with fresh food in my refrigerator. But that wasn't the only luxury that I had. For every time I walk out of the house to start a new day, that I have been enjoying the luxury of the freedom that only some people in other country dream of.

   And what do I mean by freedom? I mean freedom like to do the things that I would like to do without anybody dictating my life. The freedom to go to religious temple and to worship the creator without being persecuted for my religious belief. To speak with someone and express my idea and belief without being arrested, for as long I do not use dirty language. The freedom to go to learn and educate myself on whatever I would like to learn. These are just some of the things that I'm talking about regarding to freedom.
  But this is not something that just happened overnight. A group of men decided to come up with the most radical idea in 1776. They decided that humanity should no longer be rule by one man, or by a royal dynasty. Throughout history humanity has always been rule by some sort of royal dynasty. They would dictate and tell us how our lives should be. were to live or what language to speak.
  But these group of men came up with an idea that was always talked about but never was done. And that is for a group of people to decide how their lives should be without a ruler. So they took a piece of parchment paper that have really no value at all, and wrote down an idea that forever changed the world. Even today a great deal of the government all over the world have to give thanks in one way or another upon the simple paper that they wrote on in 1776. And what is that I'm talking about? It is the Constitution of the United States. Little by little country all across the world began to be free from some sort of royal dynasty or ruler.


 

   And now today as I sit in front of my computer writing this article, I can not help myself by thinking how wonderful it is to have the freedom of expression. To have the freedom of how I should dictate my life. And of course as long it is not a destructive lifestyle. But with ethics and responsibility to have the freedom to live in a civilized society. In order for me to have the enjoyment to do the things that I really like to do,
So I need to learn and become involved in understanding the world of politics. Like I said before, it is really not something that attract me, but I also know that it is part of the my life and the system I live in. But if I would like to have the freedom to dictate my life, I have to learn a little bit of the government system. I did not make this article in order to debate of what other people think the political government should be.
   I made this article only to let people know that despise what ever lifestyle you have, If you wish to continue to be free, you have to educate yourself a little bit of how our political system work. This also goes to anyone else who live anywhere in the world.

   On the bottom I put a link of a video that I saw on YouTube. I used to think that our government was a government of democracy. But then somebody that I have in my circle in Google plus told me about this video. I saw I made a mistake in regarding in how I should view the government. I know there is videos out there that may explain even more, but this is a good start.

Let go in order to find it. (A)

    We are always seeking for some sort of spiritual awareness. We seek for spiritual awareness through by reading spiritual Scripture. Or by way of philosophical and spiritual teachers. We also apply spiritual uplifting techniques like yoga and meditation. Always striving and searching for ways to find the right motivation that would take us to the spiritual awareness. And all very valid and valuable sources.

    Although many of you spend years focusing within one or several techniques and believed to have found some sort of stable spiritual relation .But,so why for so many seems to be so difficult to realize that spiritual awareness. The majority of all those sources always try to focus on the individual to find and to seek purity. Like through pure action, in way of reflecting and conducting oneself. Like through pure emotion, in way of projection and reacting. like through pure thoughts, in way of understanding and comprehension. All of these are very good for the superficial. But it does not take you to the spiritual awareness, a may take you to the spiritual visualization. But it doesn't teach you to let go in order to find your true spiritual awareness.

    There is an old spiritual saying, that if you have faith you can move a mountain. It does not tell you that if you know or understand you can move a mountain. It does not tell you if you can express or feel that you can move a mountain. It does not tell you if you raise your hand or invoke a word that you can move a mountain. It only tells you if you have faith. And where does the faith come from? If come from deep within you.

    It almost sound like his buried within yourself. So how do you dig it out. How do you bring to life what you have cover the time. You must find 1st what is on the surface of yourself. What are the things, that you think that makes you who you are. Obviously you going to answer that those things are your personality, your character, your ego. So you must begin to put aside those things shopping away everything that you think the makes you who you are. Things that makes you happy the things to make you sad. Things that you like and dislike. The things that you love or hate. And even the things that you know and do not know. After you have removed all of these changes might be revealed what is buried deep within yourself.

    But this is the part the people always have difficult, for they would try to deceive, lied and trick to themselves from finding the source. Always believing that they have achieved in remove all the personality and ego out of the way. But then people would say "I have done all of that". Then I answer to them "if you have done all of that, why do you continue to say , I "
People still believe that in order to revealed the true spiritual nature that they are the one who's going to be able to accomplish that. What they have failed to realize is that they already have spiritual awareness. What keeping them from revealing it, is that they keep putting their personality in front of them by saying " I ". Instead of putting in front of them the true spiritual awareness, which is the creator. This is the part the many people may have difficult of understanding. For the look at the past for what they have done. They look at the present for what they're doing. And they look at the future for what they're going to do.

    Although you may say that a great deal manifest or reflect a little bit of the creator through you. But it's not the complete manifesting of the creator. It's only an image or a reflection. This is the part where everybody always say the light is an illusion. In some way it is. Everything you see a but yourself is an illusion. And to let go everything that you are and believe to be you, is probably the most difficult thing that you can accomplish. Everyone by nation always like to have some sort of control to the things that you do in life. Whether they may be that action or the motion or even the thoughts, it is not easy to let go.

    This is one of the reason why. Although spiritual scriptures sometime ask people to do things. But yet people cannot find a reason for it. But it is there in order to teach another kind of lesson, and that is although you may not know, but the creator within you, does know. That is why in some teaching you will find that you must reach to a level and awareness of "I AM". It is a simultaneous coexisting of both you and the creator. You are the " I " in the creator is " AM ". But you got to learn how to put the creator in front of you.how to let go in order to find the creator.
