Entry 380 - The Quest of Knowledge

-
Written Nov. 24th 2019

It's always perplexed me how there are some who seem to prefer to stop the quest of learning. They settle into what is comfortable and known to them, and they dare not try to test the walls of the cage they have confined themselves in. They sit there with no desire to test the boundaries of their own beliefs. They consider their lack of questioning and lack of challenging proof of their unwavering faith, when in actuality, it is ignorance disguised in folly. 

The truth is, they're unconsciously subject to the dominant thought groups of that religion and consciously loyal to their religious group (or lack thereof), rather than freed from the confines of their religion, which governs their reality.

The freedom of being is a life where you are constantly learning, growing, and challenging the beliefs that are thrown at you from your family, friends, community, and so on. You never settle and surrender your quest for knowledge. You always fight to learn more, to grow more, to advance more towards God in every area of your life. 

You welcome foreign territory as a way to either learn from that which to avoid, or to learn and adopt the practices that enlighten you more. You're not afraid of learning from others or of your beliefs being challenged because when they are challenged, you elevate.

On this journey, you quickly learn that you are not defined by your beliefs. You realize there is a dimension above the beliefs and ideologies of each unique religious ideology, and when you find that higher dimension, you realize that there were hidden truths in each positive religion (or lack thereof) that all agree on similar parts that serve the greater whole. That there were always many paths that merged into one path, whether it was known or not known.

Then you realize, there was always a positive ending, never an eternal negative or disturbing one. For an eternal negative ending contradicts the nature of The Perfect God, who in His essence, is pure, undefiled Love. And if Love is present, then hate cannot be manifested. Thus, why would God create an eternal devilish hole to dump His creation in when He loves them and provided salvation for all mankind? 

Some would say, "Well, the wicked don't deserve it." And I would say, "Were you not once wicked yourself?" Would God truly leave His creation that He loves in a state of incompleteness, terror, and pain, weeping for eternity, if He truly loved them? Does not Love conquer Evil?

And thus, through the strong ethereal power of Love, there is definite and undying proof that God wins. That the God who is over all, in all, and through all will absolutely accomplish His will and save all mankind.

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 ...
