Fallen

I met her: her name is Karen.  And I love her, la la la la.

I saw her across the floor.  She kissed me with her heart.

I want more more more.  She gave it to me.

She’s from Barcelona.  She’s Catalan, hurt me.

We are innocent.  Perhaps we take gelati.

I hold her in my heart.  For as long as she can stand.

Samsara

Ther

Hands meet eyes lock

‘I don’t judge you’

Glance away stroke of cold

‘I don’t judge you’

Heart sinks sparks of white

moist cheek release hand

‘I love you Stately’

Say it, love yourself

Compassion, it was written

You stear off the path

Sandwich and fall

Concentrae keep eyes up

light on inside

clear vioce

Seed of heart

my chest it lies

Bottom

of

Spine

And Back up

Again

(more…)

Finding God

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.

Back to Basics

How to stand up to the issues that plague humanity and return to basics?
It is possible? Has there ever been a humanity without issues? Has there ever even been one human without issues? Why do expect things to get better? How come we try and avoid the apocalypse? It’s always been coming, always been just around the corner, and always been the end of human suffering (or just the beginning depending on how you see things).
Why do I stop myself from living a hedonistic lifestyle? Why don’t I rape any pretty little thing that comes my way? Why don’t I shit on my friends and family, and steal from the poor? I mean why not? None of that shit will matter in a just a little while anyway.
Do I try and life a morally upstanding and ‘good’ life so that I can condescend over the masses? Is it because I like to feel better than everybody else around me? Maybe, maybe not. I get satisfaction out of being good…sometimes. But you know all that shit about nice guys finish last, and no good dead goes unpunished, so why put up with it all? Maybe in order to truely live good, we have to be bad, abandon morals, do drugs and steal from women and children. I mean morality hasn’t gotten us anywhere yet, so why not try a different approach?
Who wins in a fight between God and the Devil? Neither have won yet, so I’m not going to stake my life on either one until it’s conclusively decided. I’m going to win by playing God and the Devil against eachother, once they’re busy fighting eachother I can come in and seize power. Then I’ll relinquish the power when it feels right to save my soul.
I’m sure everyone remembers Bart Simpson who made us all realize that we can all get into heaven even after a life of sin as long as we redeem ourselves before we die. Maybe, maybe not.

Power of God

What is the power of God? What are God’s powers?
If I’m in trouble, will God use his power to help me? Will he send down Jesus to die again for my sin? What if it’s past the son of God’s bedtime?
The word, which is supposedly straight from God’s mouth, was writen down my men and not Gods. The word, which created heaven and earth, was conceived and writen of by men. Perhaps they had a direct line to God to distinguish their own word from the word of God.
Can not I do something similar? Can’t I communicate directly with God and write down what he says? Maybe when I think I’m talking to God it is the devil is disguise, and so I shouldn’t write down what I hear, but don’t you think the authors of the Bible struggled with the same self doubt?
They knew what was true and what was false, because they used their human faculties to listen to and observe the world around them. They observed a force that could not be seen, but was there nonetheless. They labled this force God, and from then on forward anything that was unexplainable was labeled as an act of God.
The authors used their word to give power to the unknown, and today we do the same thing all the time. We notice freak coincidences, and we ascribe to them a higher purpose. “That was meant to happen”. Anyway, my point is that God is an abstract concept that did not exist before humans starting talking about it.
The power of God is not outside of us, it is inside us, created by us. We have the power too. We like to think that we don’t, that we can’t, that we shouldn’t, but we must. If we ignore problems and label them as out of our control than all we are doing is diffusing our own responsibility.
Once we come to realization that we are God’s power, than we can start making the changes that we want to make instead of waiting around for some other force to make it happen. You are God, I am God, together we are God. Let’s focus our power, let’s do something right with our word.
If you’re with me, consider joining the WEAREGOD.org movement. It’s fresh, it’s new, it’s a way to feel less damn empty all the time.
