Entry 124 - Lesson on Push & Pull

10/22/19

There are a lot of times when there will be a push and pull in different areas of your life. This is nothing new. The universe has been doing this for billions of years. 

A star in space is born, then it dies. The moon's gravitational pull causes waves to push and to pull. People from all over enter your life and soon after leave you with only a memory.

There is order in the universe and balance. Once something goes, another comes in. Once a forest burns down, another one regrows. 

The key to happiness is not finding any solace on what is temporary and changing, but to find the peace within to carry you through. 

Then, no matter what the outer condition is that surrounds your life, the peace within will sustain through every period of life.
 

Entry 125 - The Righteous Anger of God

10/28/19


In all my life, I have never felt the way I feel now. As I write this, my hands shake at the emotion I feel. Now I get why God continually called His people out of wicked lands such as Chaldea for Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah for Lot and his family, and Egypt for Moses and the Israelites. Remaining in a place where there's so much evil, it literally makes me want to throw up. Where the people around you are doing the worst things you've never witnessed and that make you physically sick. It must have been such a relief for Abraham, Moses, and Lot to leave that behind and start a new life serving God in an environment that isn't plagued with sin and wickedness.

It's one thing when someone sins, it's a whole other thing when someone not only sins, but they deeply enjoy it, and they look forward to the next time they can do it again. Where they are so attached to evil that it's like it follows them wherever they go, leaving a long rancid stench in every area of their life. 
 
When someone acts unjustly, the first instinct is to stoop down to their level and give them a taste of their own medicine. However, if you can resist that urge and pray to God, He will do a much better job at repaying them for the evil they try to throw on others. If I feel disgusted by this, I can't imagine how disgusted God feels by seeing evil being done all over the world. It has given me a completely new perspective that I've never seen before in my life.

When someone seems to be escaping the law, doing really wicked things, and hurting you without apologizing, it almost seems unreal that a person could be this identified with evil. But at the same time, everyone every single day has the choice to either choose death or to choose life, and whatever they choose will one day be manifest sooner or later. Knowing that God is a just God and that there is order, and He will repay all for their actions, that has given me peace knowing that I don't have to try

Entry 1,630 - January 15th 2023 There’s a difference between spiritualizing life by moralizing and immoralizing daily matters and living life in such a way that uproots preconceived notions of what is considered bad and good by the religious. One intends to force morality into life inorganically according to the groupthink of the religious group, and the other intends to live life more freely and harm-free according to universal principles of life. The latter does not mean you live life without morality but rather that you live beyond the cut-and-dry staples of what each religious group considers moral and immoral. The latter means you go to the essence of what true morality points to—whether someone’s actions cause harm or healing. It does not seek to go beyond that universal essence of morality. It does not puff up the essence with unnecessary doctrines and concepts that clutter and confuse the mind. It does not go beyond the essence to instill unnecessary fear, guilt, and shame. It ...

Entry 45 - Lesson on Compliments

7/28/19 The old self is attracted to negative thoughts and the new self, the real you, is attracted to positive thoughts. The old self embodies all the negative so it wants what it is, and the new self embodies all things positive, so it seeks to be reinforced with what it already is. That's why I believe it is so important to speak truth into people, to reinforce who they truly are because it awakens the real self and keeps them consciously focused on who they really are. There was an experiment done where they insulted a plant and then for another plant, they only spoke nice words, and the results were shocking. The words carried weight on the actual growth or decay of those plants. So if plants don't speak English, then what could possibly be the reason behind one plant living its best life due to the positive words spoken to it and the other plant withering and dying due to negative words being spoken to it in the same controlled situation? Everything, and I mean everyth...

Entry #21 - Lesson on Problems

-
I was contemplating how small I am compared to the universe, and then I considered how much smaller my problems are compared to the universe, to the mountains, and even to me. I considered what even is a problem? And I realized that problems are problems because they affect us in some way that we wish we weren't affected by. However, we have the potential to determine if something is actually a problem or if it can be seen in a new light.  We can focus on how something is negatively affecting us, or we can focus from another point of view and see the positive lessons we can learn it. Truly, a positive perception on this could definitely help retrain ourselves to think much more positively and contribute to a better overall way of thinking when they come our way. So I'm going to propose looking at "problems" in a new light. So I said a problem normally is considered a problem because it affects us in some way, shape or form; but if we choose to change our perception ...
