 The Cursor's Flashing, Waiting For You To Mentally Login... |

This entry follows on from the first two which I suggest you read first (along with their associated comments): 1 - God And Wealth. What's The Connection Here? 2 - Stepping Further Into The Hornet's Nest... In the last week I have been called ignorant, naive, foolish, confused, and perhaps even bitter about losing Connor...which apparently may be the reason why I am 'against' God. I've also made a lot of sense to others. All fascinating stuff...and I welcome YOUR opinion, whatever it may be. Neither of us may seem to be 'right' in the eyes of each other...we just have our beliefs that form our opinions of what we THINK we know. And...to be honest...life would be boring if we all believed exactly the same thing! So...where NEXT on our little 'journey'? Well...now that we are aware (whether we believe in A God or not) - that we are connected...then it makes sense that we should begin to look at how we can translate that into REAL life. After all...aren't we ALL looking for 'answers'...whatever we believe? For those of us who don't want to read a bible - then we need to be aware that we can still ACCESS the 'Universe' without feeling that we MUST go via religion. And...still understand that we are not 'missing' something, just because we don't want to pray or attend a church, synagogue, or mosque. Just because we don't believe in THE God (whatever form He, She, or It, may take)...then we can STILL believe that we are part of something that doesn't have a (supposed) direct relationship with the REAL world we live in. To my limited 'religious' knowledge, it seems that ALL religious (and many 'key' non-religious) texts echo a similar version of the same 'message'... “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.” “As a man thinketh…so is he.” “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) (Now perhaps some of the more religious people reading this may understand that I AM 'singing from the same hymn-sheet' as they are!) Yet...in OUR 21st Century world...we're occupied with the TANGIBLE things in life... - The house (Sidenote : Mind you...what's fascinating to me now is that money is more 'virtual' than it ever has been...as we actually hold 'real' money in our hands very rarely in comparison to the amount of transactions we make. But that's another article!) So...here we are...constantly trying to ACCUMULATE material items and wealth...which in the grand scheme of things...isn't necessarily a 'bad' thing. But...instead of these things freeing up our time, and making our lives more enjoyable...we are constantly jumping from one acquisition to another. Running round the hamster-wheel. We THINK that we NEED a bigger TV or a more powerful car...so that's what we focus our energies on. And...because we constantly THINK about getting more 'stuff'...it takes up more TIME in our lives as we try to work to earn more to FULFIL that need. And end up...just running faster around the hamster wheel. Many believers and non-believers are doing EXACTLY the same...and ending up with the same results. Whatever your religious denomination...or whether you don't believe in ANY religion...we've been kidded that the route to ultimate happiness is in what we OWN. Praying for help from God won't solve your problems unless you are THINKING about what you WANT instead of what you wish that you didn't have! Whether it's God or the 'Universe'...doesn't matter. Unless you believe in YOURSELF and think accordingly then nothing much will change in your life. Many people have got 'annoyed' (for want of a better word) about me saying that we are 'co-creators' of our life. We ARE. How? Well...if God alone was left to create MY ideal future...then I might as well not be here! To me...the 'Universe' is like this computer that you're reading this message on right at this very moment. On its own...it can't do very much unless you PROGRAM it to DO something. Yet...it's CAPACITY for DOING is only LIMITED by the person who designs the PROGRAM. In essence...the capability of MY computer probably isn't very different to yours...yet, if you still BELIEVE that your computer can only hold a maximum of a single document in its memory - then whatever I say to convince you otherwise will be irrelevant...until you FIND OUT for yourself that it can hold a whole lot more. I personally believe that there IS a 'computer' out there that is called the 'Universe' that I CAN 'program' to bring results into my life. I don't believe that there is ONE computer that is password-protected that has restricted access - login ID : God, Password : God. Whether YOU believe in religion or not - you CAN have access on YOUR 'computer'...but only if you can REMEMBER your login ID and password! I say remember because I believe that we are in-built with a capacity to ACCESS the 'Universe'...whether we do that THROUGH organized religion or not doesn't matter. YOU have an innate ability to create your OWN 'programs' that end up mapping out your life. Whether you login via a 'third-party' or not via religion is not the issue here. The issue is whether you're ready to accept that there is a lot of what goes on inside your head that NOBODY can explain. The first step to finding out a path that WORKS for YOU is understanding that there is a computer screen waiting for you to login to. The cursor is flashing...waiting for you to mentally login. Whichever way you find to DO so...it doesn't matter. If you want to have a greater influence on the outcome of YOUR life...you need to find a way to do so. A way that works for YOU.
