Cruel, funny man. Why are you making your son so strange?

The man points at the spoon and smiles.

Son smiles back delighted with the strange smiling man and his funny sounds.

So it has recently been reported by the BBC that the US oil industry had come up with a comprehensive plan for iraq. A 323 page plan was created detailing what to do with Iraqi oil. Why is it that US oil executives are planing what to do with a (at the time) sovereign nation’s oil reserves?

I highly recommend watching the 5/15 episode of Democracy Now for Greg Palast’s interview for his new book Armed madhouse. As well as a comprehensive report on the Darfur crisis. It is being labeled as the worst humanitarian crisis in the history of the world. Why isn’t this on the top of the US list for foreign policy?

Why is the BBC the only respectable national news organization for US news?

What is happening to the press in the United States?

What the fuck!

The information age.

What’s next?

When we try to look into the eye of the future how do we realize what we see?

Do we realize the future because we imagine what it will be?

So what’s coming?

If you think about it you already know.

You just have to realize what you are imagining and turn it into reality.

The future exist because we have the ability to create it.

but…

How do we realize ourselves?

How do WE realize the future together?

This is the way our world ends, and how the future begins.

The age of enhanced intelligence.

More to come.

How will we ever solve the prisoner’s dilemma? There is a solution; it’s when we all realize that we can survive better if we actually look out for each other. Since this method of being if more conducive to survival and reproduction, ultimately it will be the one we become. We just need to reach collective evolution; think of a body, the cells all work together. What if a cell group decided to do what’s best for itself and fuck everything else? Well that’s called cancer. It happens, and when it happens it usually kills the body. The earth is the body we are a part of. At this moment we are cancer, but can cancer learn to be benign. I hope so. All we have to do is work together, love each other, and we can be a fully functioning body as opposed to the tumors on a sickly dying body. What future do you want? Think it can’t happen? We used to be monkeys; it can happen. Technology can help. Evolution is far from over. We will evolve or we’ll die. Make your choice. It’s up to us.

In my work towards an inner peace and a healthy spirit, I’ve come to see God in a new light. Associating with God does not mean associating with a religion, and associating with a religion does not mean associating with the dogma of a religion.
God is not a thing or a person, the closest word I can use to describe him in reasonable terms is as a concept. He (it, she, they) represents what is unknown in our lives. He is everything I can’t describe using words, and everything I feel that can’t be explained with reason.
Faith in God requires a subordination of reason, because God cannot be explained in reasonable terms. My belief in God stems from a dissatisfaction with philosophy and science as a way to put life in context. God is the answer to all doubt and gives meaning to life otherwise aimless.
I am worried about my future and the state of my soul, but by simply putting faith in God, my worries disassemble and I can peaceably go on my way without getting bogged down by endless political/philisophical/scientific debate.
Once I stop worrying about my place in the world and just believe that I have a place, I can start to do my work. Without constant speculation about the higher meaning of my actions, I can put my head down and truly explore my connection to the earth and define myself by cutting a path through life.
I can now get over the modern stigma against religion, and embrace it as a community that shares the same fundamental belief that I do: faith in God without reason. The community reminds me that my life is more positive when I stop contemplating utopia and start letting God positively guide my actions. As we are faced with decisions, we can all instinctively judge between right and wrong, and it is faith in God that allows that feeling inside of us to guide our actions.
If you don’t already, try putting faith in God as an experiment. See if it is effective in curbing your doubts and anxiety. See if you can find meaning in your life by ending the aimless search for meaning in your life. Try not to be distracted by forces that make you question yourself and try putting faith in God as a answer your doubts.
