“GOOD MORNING GOD”
.  . Good morning “God”. So...first of all, thank “you” for all you do, for everything. By me having a thankful attitude, life is easier, for I am not upsetting my body, mind, emotions and spirit (nor others, except maybe some who think opposite of the way I look at things) so there is a definite benefit from receiving all things with thankfulness. That alone is enough reason to do it. Next....I don’t know very much. I can use logic and reason and try to figure things out, but in the end, unless I’ve experienced something first hand, I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I discount most of what I write and say. However...I can look around me at this beautiful world and see a loving hand in the making of it. Why are there peaches and honey, and nuts and other delectable foods if there isn’t the hand of love in it? It is a beautiful and wonderful world. Thank you. Then I look at people, and most are really caring, even in a troubled world. Certainly most parents love their children, and that is proof of love in the world, among many other proofs. As to some bigger issues, like free-will, I have found no such thing, but I have found motive for actions, and those are implanted or innate in our human nature, which is to serve-self, and self-service always involves serving others in some way so that they in turn serve others back. If our primary directive or motive or intent is joy, pleasure and happiness, which it is, then we are not free to choose otherwise, thus the world is as it is because THERE ARE DIFFERENT FEELINGS OF WHAT JOY, PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS ARE. SOME PEOPLE GET PLEASURE FROM HURTING OTHERS, FROM HAVING POWER OVER THEM, FROM LIVING “OFF OF” THEM. Did such personalities make themselves to be that way? I do not think so. In the allegory: Why did Cane slay able? Why was he able to be convinced to do it, while another person under the same conditions would not do it. There are Cain like beings on earth. Who put them here? Why are they here? And there are degrees of Cain like people, who may not do a really hurtful thing, but still cause others pain. Who put them here? Why are they here? Life would be a lot more peaceful without them. Some people seek power, wealth and glory at the expense of others. Why are they here, and why do the rest of us have to suffer their doings? It would be a lot more peaceful planet if there were only people here with a “live and let live” attitude, who know that their rights stop where another’s nose begins. Why aren’t there more of them? Selfish people also make this world more difficult. Why are they here? Mean people make up a lot of people here. So do people who like to kill, steal, lie, cheat, take advantage, etc. Why are they here among those who do not do those things? Why must the majority suffer the doings of very small minorities? Why is it so easy to dupe most of humanity? Trust is given so easily. Must be a maturity issue. I suppose the allegory of the garden of eden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil explains the WHYS: Without experiencing both sides of a coin, there would be no coin to experience. So we learn to go after REAL joy and avoid the things that bring sorrow. That’s a good reason to be on earth, though the question is, what are we that we even need these experiences to learn things? Certainly it means we are not very mature, not very learned, not very advanced, thus, we must be EVOLVING BEINGS who need to learn by counsel or by the things we suffer. So that’s cool. We are evolving conscious nesses, which means we had a beginning, which means there was a time when we didn’t exist. So that means we are children growing up, which begs the question, growing up for what purpose? Why? What are we really? At some point we didn’t exist; we got “born”, we have experiences to learn things, and then, after we’ve learned what brings joy and what brings sorrow, what’s next? Certainly the above helps explain why there’s “heaven and hell” on earth: We’re mostly a bunch of immature children discovering ourselves through experiences, and finally, at some point, we stop doing the things that make us and others suffer, but then what? What’s the point of it all? Well, I see you’re kinda busy right now....maybe we’ll get back to that question later. nem http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=281665 |
