Gaining God's Favor

Several religions in the world believe that you need to gain God's favor in order to gain entry to Heaven.
Christian's seem to have the strongest view of this (in my experience at least) and I've always NOT liked this.

Viewed from the Christian viewpoint, God created ALL of us out of love. Nothing can separate us from his love...except for sinning. If we were to sin (which the Bible claims that all of us do) if we do not ask for forgiveness, we will be sent to hell.

Other's view that God judges us all after we die, and we have a review of our life and are sent to the appropriate spot. But seeing as all of us sin, I guess we all end up in hell.


Well...I don't believe God is like that. Why would someone who loves us more than anything send us to hell for a few white lies? A man who is responsible for the death of hundreds is just as guilty as the little child that told a little lie to their parents? How does that sound fair?

I'm not saying that people can get away with adultery, murder, theft or all that...but think of it this way.

When we die, we go back up to what Christian's call: Heaven, no matter what. After our life is complete, maybe we are sent to a special room to review our life in front of Father God (or who ever, be creative at this point). Now in Heaven, we are beings of pure light and joy, keep this in mind, as it will come up later.
Upon reviewing our lives, we see everything we have ever done. Every bad thing we did really has an affect on us. We feel what it was like for us and the people that we harmed. Being a person of pure love and joy, these emotions take their tole on us.

But not all is lost. Our 'punishment' if you like, is to make up for what we did wrong. Reincarnation for example, is a way we can try it again.


Now in Heaven, some people say that it would be boring, because everyone is all 'goodie- goodie' and nothing bad would happen. Well, after a feeling of "did he just say that?" I knew how foolish this is. Heaven is a place where negative emotions/energies can not be. But it isn't boring at all.
There most-likely are parties, dances, feasts (many mythologies say that there are eternal feasts in Valhalla, etc), think of anything fun and pull out any negativity in it then add it to the afterlife. That's what it will be like.

Religious Sunglasses

So I've been doing a lot of things this week.
I've reached 25,000 words for my November word challenge (http://nanowrimo.org/) and I have basically created an entire timeline for an entire galaxy for that book.
Not only that, but I've had time to think.

Picture yourself walking down a beautiful path. The ground beneath you is gravel. There are thick patches of grass that has pushed it's way through the gravel, making the ground very uneven. Thick lines of trees grow on both sides of the path, creating both a wall and a roof for you. Through the tops of the leaves you can see the sun shining down on you. The further you go, the more sparse the ceiling of leaves become. Soon, two suns, shining brightly in your eyes. You are able to see the entire landscape ahead of you clearly. Your vision is clear and you can see thousands of stars and galaxies in the sky above and around you. It is beautiful.

Now, out of nowhere, a pair of sunglasses fall at your feet. You put them on to see if you can see anything more.

Now these galaxies vanish, leaving you standing on the road. The landscape around you is covered in fog, only letting you see what is right in front of you.

The light of the sun now is dimmed. The glasses make it hard to see anything clearly.

Soon, you begin to think that seeing the galaxies and the beauty around you as unimportant or even sinful!

The sun that was once so warm and bright, is not cooler and very dim. You are awestruck at the sun, but you only see one. You have forgotten about the second sun that once was very beautiful. You think 

"That second sun is just a story. There is only one sun!"

More people show up and they are wearing sunglasses too. They also believe that two suns were false, and that the beauty around you is false.

But after awhile, you begin to remember something. You begin to look above your glasses and you catch glimpses of something.

Excited, you take off the glasses and are blinded with new light. It isn't a bad thing, you soon adjust and are able to explore again. The beauty comes back and you see the thousands of stars and galaxies again. There is even a second sun up in the sky, and you scold yourself for ever forgetting something so beautiful.

The Age of the Universe

Greetings everyone!

I have a very short topic this week, but I have a very good reason for this.
I am part of a 50,000 word challenge this month and I haven't had a lot of time to think about my blog.
Though never fear! I will be doing my best to post weekly.

Enjoy~


According to some, the Earth is only 6-8 thousand years old. Seeing as 'God' created the Earth and the Universe at the same time, then the Universe must be the same age, right?

Well...look at it this way. If the Universe is only 6,750 years old...why can we see stars?

When we see stars in the night sky, we are actually seeing light that has traveled to earth from that star. This is where a Light Year comes into play. Though not a unit of time, Light Years can tell us a great deal about time itself.

For Example:

The Great Andromeda Nebula (A.K.A Andromeda Galaxy) is roughly 2,538,000 light years from earth. The light radiating from that galaxy can be seen from Earth...so if that light is real, 2,538,000 years should have passed in order for us to see it."

People need to accept the fact that we have believed lies. It may be hard to believe for some, but the Earth isn't a few thousand years old.

Namaste,

Emotions Part #2

Sadness is an emotion that is at large in the world today.
Thousands of people suffer from sadness on a daily basis.
If sadness is just another emotion, why doesn't out 'Emotion Fog' (See Emotional Energy post) run out as fast? What is depression?

Depression isn't just intense sadness. It is something built up inside someone. It started out as just plan emotion, but maybe an event triggered it and it became worse? What was that event?

Once you find out what even caused the sadness to become depression, you can start to destroy it.
Events are a massive force that shape us, even the smallest event can spur us onward, change our lives, change another person's life, do great things or even bad things to us.

I'll explain some events that may trigger depression:

How to Deal with a Bad Relationship: I have never been in a relationship, so many people wouldn't want to hear my advice on this subject. But I know how I want to be treated in a relationship, and how I would treat my partner, plus, I have had reincarnations before, so I can get the basic idea.

A good relationship can come to an end, either the Universe pulled us apart or we just couldn't do it anymore. Either way, the relationship is over. Dealing with this would seem devastating, depending on how intense of a relationship it was. But meditating in the middle of nature can help greatly here. Not only will you find out that something still loves you, you will also discover that the earth itself wants your affection.

Any breakup should be dealt with gently. Don't put yourself back out there if you aren't ready. Don't go looking for someone who reminds you of the person you broke up with, even if that guy/girl was the nicest person you have ever met. Look for someone completely new if you are ready.
Also, if it gets worse for you, don't feel bad about talking to someone. Get out there and release those negative energies that are inside your heart. Get them out there, find out that you are special and that there is always someone that loves you.


Losing your Best Friend: Personally, I have felt this. There was one friend who we spent time with pretty much every day in the summer, and as often as we could during the school year. Then one week he just didn't call or show up anywhere. He changed schools and stopped being friends with us. It sucked. For months my brother and I didn't have anyone else (aside from our family) to hang out with.
If this has happened to you, don't worry. Like what with happened with me, there is always someone. It was around this time that I grew super close with my grandparents. Not only were they my family, they also became my best friends. It may seem lame, but they were both pretty cool people.
Even if that person isn't your age, it doesn't mean that they can't be a friend of yours (people in different situations should be cautious though).
When you lose a best friend, get back out there and look for another friend. You would be surprised at just who wanted your attention. New friends are just waiting to be discovered. Keep looking.


Losing those who are no longer with us: People die, it's just that simple. It sounds harsh, but in reality, death is a beautiful thing, even if the person suffered first. When we die, we move on to another place. This new place is beautiful and full of great things. It is full of happiness and no one hurts there. Some call it Heaven, but it doesn't need a name. It just simply is beautiful.

Though it is hard losing someone, you need to remember the good times you spent with them. Picture them when they were healthy and happy. Picture you favorite times with them, keep their love alive by remembering them by how they were, not how they ended up. Still love them, honor them, burn a candle on their birthday just to honor them. Anything positive. Cry if you need to, but you need to create positive emotions when you think of them.

In the days leading up to my grandmother's passing, I gave her a quartz crystal from my collection. I didn't know why, I just felt the urge to give it to her. When she passed, I got this crystal back. I kept it on my shelf for a while, until I was able to go to my favorite spot up north. I went there with my Grandma once, and she said it was beautiful. She loved how the water sounded and she just really liked the place.
When I was there, I found a place where I was alone and I said my good-bye to her. I told her that I loved her. I put all the sadness I felt into the crystal and I threw it out into the waves. Since then, I haven't felt any sadness about her death. Every time I think of her, it is a happy memory.


More soon!

P.S. It helps to talk to Mother God. She understands the emotional side of things and is there and will comfort you. If you need to vent, she is there for you.

Namaste!

Emotional Energy

All throughout our lives, we experience emotions. It doesn't matter how much people want to deny it, we all feel them. But what exactly do we do with them?

First off, I want to talk about happiness.

Happiness is an emotion that almost everyone can enjoy. We smile more, we can sleep better, our bodies can function better and most people enjoy being around happy people.
But when we are happy, bad news doesn't seem to have that much of an affect on us.
But why does this 'Happy Spree' end? If we are nearly invincible to bad news, why do we stop being happy?

Picture emotions like a colorful fog. Any color. This fog is floating inside a clear glass jar. There is a small spout at the top of this jar, which empties the fog out into the world. Every time you laugh (or do something else that makes you happy) a little bit of this fog goes out of the spout and is lost in the world. 

When the fog runs out, there is no emotion left.

Being human, we never go without emotions. When our 'emotional fog' runs out, our mind either makes more of the same kind or a new emotion.

Bottling up our emotions are a bad thing. This is why people who hold onto their anger physically change. Some people can gain weight, lose weight, become bitter or even get sick. 

One would think that keeping happiness bottle up would do the opposite as anger, right? Most likely not. Emotions are not meant to be kept hidden. 

Releasing our emotions is very important. I'll give an example.

Releasing Anger makes it easier for people to calm down. Crying, screaming or even hitting things helps us get rid of that. After a good long cry, most humans tend to calm down and relax. 

Screaming does the same thing. It is a massive release of tension.

Don't think so? Why do you think people scream or raise their voices when they are angry?

Also, hitting things can do the same as above, but it has more of a risk. One should never hit something that can feel pain or discomfort. You should never hit things that could injure you either.

But people have punching bags that they take their anger out on. It seems to work too.

If we are to Release Our Emotions, why are we Taught to Keep Them to Ourselves?

Change. People have forgotten our spirituality, and also our control over our emotions. American civilization doesn't recognize anger as something good. Instead of trying to overcome something natural is very hard. Embracing it is easier. 

Embracing Anger? Why Would Anyone Do This?

Don't picture 'Embracing your Anger' as turning to the Dark Side, picture it like you are able to embrace it, control it and master it. The sooner you master it, the sooner you can learn from it.

Why are Emotions so Important?

Emotions make us what we are. Though it is true that we are not the only species that have emotions, we do have the potential to master them. Mastering your emotions can get you another step closer to being more at one with yourself.

What Exactly is God

People all have different views on God. Even in a specific religion, they can have multiple views on what a 'god' is, and some don't believe it.

Those who are skeptic of God, stay with me. 

God is viewed as many different things, a Warrior, a pacifist, a tyrant, a hippie, an old man, a young man, a woman, a dragon, a child, a beast, a two-headed giant, a flying creature, the list goes on and on.

But (if you are skeptic of God, just pretend for a moment) if God is one 'being' why do people see him differently? Or why do people think that there are more than one god? (like the Greeks did).

In my point of view, God is a being of pure consciousness and energy. Picture a cloud of white or gold mist that covers the Universe. Obviously, a deity with no form is powerful enough to change his shape, so he does.

I also believe that the Universe runs on 'Male and Female' energy (there is nothing sexist about these energies). Om-Father (God) is the male polarity and the Mother Goddess (Azna) is the female polarity. Yin and Yang was a prime example of this energy.

Now, if you missed my previous posts, I'll give you a brief understanding of Male and Female Energies.

Male: Male energy is focused, determined and doesn't leave room for creativity. It is 'By-the-Book'

Female: Female Energy is creative, free thinking and artistic. This energy rarely follows the directions because it dampens one's creativity.

Note: Male and Female energy is inside both genders. If a man is incredibly right-brained (where the female energy resided) it doesn't make him 'girly' or anything like that. It isn't what makes the gender, it is an energy.

If a man feels more creative or a woman feels more by-the-book, don't worry about it. Embrace it.

Why do People View God as Female, but not as Mother God?

Sadly, this is mostly because of the great war on genders. Yes, there are some people who claim to have seen God as a woman, this is because of two reasons. 

1. God came to them in a form that they would be more at peace with.

2. Mother God came to them, but didn't tell them that she was Mother God (because they may not have asked)

Yes, part of God's energy is female, and the other half is male. Life/spirit can not be without both polarities.

What Exactly do the Male and Female Energies have to do with Physical Genders?

Very little. A man being incredibly right brained (or female energetic) doesn't make him homosexual, it makes him right brained. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are more 'opposite gender energy' because it has very little to do with it.

Why did the Ancients Have More Gods?

Well, I can't speak for every culture, but the Greeks (remember, this isn't proven, but I chose to believe it) had their gods, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Aries, Apollo, Aphrodite, etc, were all real beings. Remember an earlier post about the Nephilim? Well this is them. They came to earth and were immortal (humans are not immortal) they were very strong, giants, and some had control over elements (lightning, the oceans...). This is clearly a non human race.

There is more to come, but as for right now, Namaste!

Season #2 Start Up and 1,000 views!

Hello again everyone!

I know I didn't make it clear when I left, but I decided to take a break. It was a really rough time in my life and I was struggling with some inner energies. I had to get myself back in order before I could begin...teaching (if you will) again.

But now with everything cleared up, I am back!


Also, in this day-and-age of technology, having 1,000 people view your blog isn't much to some...but to me it is amazing! It was a good inspiration for me to get back in the saddle again. Thank you to everyone!

Now I have a few plans, but I decided to start the 'season' out with a Topic on God Energy.

Namaste
