Atheism

Is non belief (atheism) actually a system?

Realism is a pertinent factor in atheism. I found a lot of atheist like to play computer games as a distraction from reality.

Why do we need a distraction from reality at all?
Even the atheist have dreams. We find that our perception of the physical world can often wear us out or a relationship may be disrupted. A marriage or relationship being disrupted can cause a person harm.

I do admire one aspect of atheism - responsibility for action. To me we are responsible for the changes in humanity. The only difference in knowing divine love is a part of my reality.

The atheist do not worship idols and many believe in a moral code. The atheist have not ascribed to religion however many do ascribe to psychology or philosophy. As we know there are as many versions of psychology or philosophy as there are any religion. So even the path of atheism is not a clear path.

We all see through a glass darkly and a lot of life is perception. The atheist usually will go to a hospital or seek the help of a counselor or psychologist when their reality is in distress.

To hate someone because of being an atheist is no different than any other racial or other form of discrimination. Atheist do have children and many do belong to clubs or other organizations. I have a son who from a small child did not want to be involved with religion or any organization associated with religion. I did not force my beliefs upon him or make him attend a church.

I think we need atheist to keep us from going over the deep end. We also need those willing to go to the deep end to find out what is there.

In the end it is not about imposing our beliefs on another person. That we are each unique and not programmed like machines is what makes us human. To find a higher source of love is what makes us believers.

Undiscovered Truth

Theory, Mystery, Faith .

Theory- When a scientist works on a problem they often use something called a theory. It is not a law like cause and effect or gravity. It is merely a proposal of ideas that have merit due to experiments and some evidence. These theories can be used to solve problems and they work until a better one comes along.

Mystery- I get so upset by the word mystery. It does sell a lot of books and perhaps there is nothing more inviting than Pandora's box. We will find that it is often a religious tool used for control which was never intended. It is an art , a craft of the rich and powerful. If I can keep you in the dark like a mushroom, no offense, you can be controlled. We should be seeking enlightenment --- all things are possibilities. Undiscovered truths is the term you should be using as a person of enlightenment all truths are obtainable.

Faith is similar in fact to theory used to explain the unseen or undiscovered truth. Perhaps faith can even be a myth or a concept. Faith is without reason according to Martin Luther. It is appealing to the power of change within is what I would say. We are the source of change , whereas God is the source of love. Faith appeals not to God as some would think, since we all have a different concept of who or what God is. Faith appeals to the power or source of change within us.

God did not leave us empty handed, say I love you and walk away into the cosmos. We have been given the power of change. Though some may want you to think you cannot change, they say it is what it is - accept it. We are sometimes poor , despondent - untouchable or unappealing. So what we have the power of change. The greatest gift ever and all it needs is faith. We have been duped by society by prejudgement , we have accepted a lie. However we know that the choice is within us. We are not predestined. Yes -we may have been born handicapped or in a poor community. We may have circumstance against us. It is merely temporary - you can easily walk over to the other side of the tracks and claim it. Someone may say what are you doing  here, hey what is he or she doing here!
Step aside , they claimed their power of change! They are exercising their faith - their potential.

Whether you are Hindu, Muslim or Jew. Christian or pagan just realize that you have the power of change within you. It is all about matters of the heart and that is where change will start. Your mind may tell you things are impossible , it may wander. Your heart will get you where you want to be if you desire wisdom. God is the source of love.

Peace to you.

Harmony

What is the true structure of the universe.
Harmony.

What is the anti-matter of the universe.
Chaos.

So out of Chaos came Harmony..... Truly Harmony was always there it just was not being perceived.

One aspect of harmony is music.

If we were to encounter the greatest composer of all time in essence a divine composer we would be blessed.

Actually looking at the very structure from chemistry to the atomic layers we find harmony. All of the same laws seem to apply.

Another aspect of harmony is relationships.

As in music we are like melodies , merry melodies. We can get off on a good note or leave on a bad note. Harmony in relationships is very important.
Bad dreams are sometimes because of relationships that ended on a bad note. Does it mean we are not good to have a bad dream. Actually it is the opposite , having bad dreams means you care about relationships. It means you have the mind of a great composer that wants to get music right. You will play the song over and over again to see if maybe it will find the correct melody. Can you change the past -No, you can change yourself perhaps go up an octave to become in harmony. It is really all just a melody this thing we call life.

When we look into the sky at night some will see stars, I see music. Something that a great composer was playing.

When you enter into a relationship view it as divine music, do not see it as a game. Not many will see the harmony that is around them , some just will just remain in the chaos. If you are having bad dreams be thankful it just means you care. You will eventually work on a different melody like every composer and have a song for the heart.

Peace,

Earl.

Mind Drugs

Scientist are discovering that the human brain can produce every medicine and is chemically complete. That means the brain has the ability to heal pain chemically and probably most diseases.

Why doesn't the system work?
We have the chemistry , the ability and the receptors.

The fact is the system does work. Most diseases are controlled without us knowing it and this includes pain.

It is a known fact that blocked arteries seek other paths to distribute oxygen and blood to the body. The brain is self repairing when an minor injury occurs. Some of this takes time and sometimes we hinder the healing process by taking inhibiting substances that set off balance.

Balance is important to healing. Drugs we receive by prescription merely help us to maintain balance or speed up an already existing system. Stress is the main obstacle to balance in our healing system.

There is another way that is more natural called rest and relaxation. We can also include meditation in the column with relaxation. We can also learn techniques as the yogis have to help distribute oxygen to the body including the brain.

Is faith healing real - absolutely. It is not the people falling over after being prayed for , it is the person that practices daily breathing and getting the brain to relax.  We find the best medicine is at a fully relaxed state free from stress. The brain has micro pharmacies within it that release natural chemicals and this has nothing to do with religion. We do do find that religion may help in the process - just like a placebo can set off the production of these chemicals.

We are endowed with more powerful medicines than can be found in a hundred Amazons or labs. Mind Drugs are an untouched science that will be the next revolution in health science. We will find some are able to produce these better than others and perhaps can be donors. There are natural substances produced by our bodies that can heal others.

I believe the Methuselah and Noah of old lived to be ripe old ages because their systems worked perfectly in their bodies. They we able to control these mind labs by being in balance with nature. We today can do the same by unblocking passages and awaking parts of the brain. As you will find it takes practice and commitment to learning techniques lost in time.

One of the techniques is re-directing energy from one part of the brain to another. There are two ways which will share.

1.  Pray for healing.  I believe in divine healing.

2.  Speech and language.
Almost a third of the brain is used to interpret speech and language. You can use a silent technique of being still , you will find a quiet spot. After you have found the place - start quieting the mind. Whether you realize it or not we all have residual speech patterns that continue in self conversation. Learn to center upon your heart and release the mind. The most frequently prescribed cure is rest.

3. Polarity training. Think of hot and cold, high and low, forward and backward . Think of all the possible opposites then pause do this several times. What will happen is your brain will not be able to process after  a while from the left side and will have to engage the right side for assistance. This is called yoking ( not joking). The right side of the brain will engage other processes to produce healing chemicals. You may actually feel your head getting warm then cool.

4. Facial massage is excellent therapy.

Spatial and balance comes from the forehead or frontal area. It presses around the face to the chin. Every facial muscles from a smile to a frown or what causes wrinkles is from the frontal lobe. You become worried when you lose a sense of direction it effects your facial expression. You can picture the famous statue of the thinker with his hand under the chin. Deep thinking involves the face from the chin to the top of the forehead. Practice putting your hand under your chin , raising and lowering the eyebrows, then frown and smile. Use your facial muscles to keep them from sagging and wrinkles.  Breath through the nose. Use facial cremes that unblock pores.

5. See a medical doctor or one that practices natural healing. Actually a doctor can only prescribe medicines to bring about balance , there is no guarantee they will work. The body system itself is the healer. We are finding more recently immune deficiency is making it very hard to maintain this balance. If a person cannot be healed by standard techniques they should be allowed to take whatever comfort means are necessary whether a plant or other stimulus.

6. Environment outside air or water. Inside stress or energy blockage.

Peace and Joy,

Earl.

Islam

O Allah purify my heart from anything but You - Islam.

You will find many references to the heart within Islam. Actually it is the main message of Islam which is why it is so beautiful.

Then why are so many being killed in the name of Islam?
Islamic terrorist are even killing other Islamic people. What happen to the unconditional love of the heart?

We find in Christianity the good shepherd Jesus is to be in the heart.
We find in Hinduism the Heart Chakra , the place of unconditional love.

If they are so similar why is there so much hate.
Most religions start out with a revelation of the heart. Later we have have scriptures that are written.

The prophets often do not write books of any kind, the books are written by scribes. Heart to heart it would make perfect sense in each case. These scriptures can be left to the interpretation of the priests or mullahs or anyone with authority in each case. That is why we have so much division within even the Islam community. There is division amongst Jews and Christians also. Jews have gone to war against each other since the beginning,  Christians have historically been the most atrocious in religious wars- it is nothing new.

How can we avoid religious bloodshed and hatred?

Return to the true source the matters of the heart.  The literature that was meant to be an aide has taken over the matters of the heart. Sometimes those in authority will use the literature to their own devices.

There are zealots in every religion. Religion is often used as a motivator and a way to unite against a real source of oppression. We are seeing in many areas where the very rich have oppressed the people that Islam is a welcome message. Is this just a struggle against oppression with a religious vehicle? For now and always.

My favorite book is YOU.

Peace to all,

Earl.

Oasis

A man was walking in the desert with no water or food. He was too far in to go back and had no sense of direction. Dune after dune the journey seemed endless. The only hope was an idea in his head that began to appear in a visual form. This was an oasis , there were trees and other vegetation which meant there must be water.

The man grew closer and closer amazingly soon the oasis disappeared.

What was the purpose of the oasis?

Why did his mind play tricks on him. Perhaps it was for mere survival. He somehow managed the strength to get there a little further from where he was.

Perhaps to some religion is an oasis. A little paradise on earth to get a person through the daily chores or suffering. To some that is all their religion is, a safe place. That is OK , we all need a spiritual oasis. Then something happens the thrill of the oasis seems to evaporate , we are no longer are encouraged by the idea.

Would it have been better if we had struggled without the oasis?

It really depends on your perception. Sometimes the oasis is actually a real paradise with water to quench the thirst. We have to make the journey to find out. When visiting the Canadian Rockies for the first time on a business trip discovered what appeared to be a mountain close by actually took hours to reach them. Upon reaching them the tops were not even visible disappearing into the clouds.
The best words describing them would be majestic.
Very similar to an iceberg with a small area exposed can actually reach for a mile beneath the surface.
Which is why they are so dangerous to ships.

When someone from the country visits a city or stadium they suddenly realize it is easy to get lost in a crowd.

Within our brain is a portion that is dedicated to spatial awareness. When we meditate correctly our mind will amplify certain regions and this is one. Perhaps our speech center will shut down and our body will enter into a sort of energy efficient mode. Sort of like the personal computers of today that have a similar feature. The sticker with the green star means it has this capability. We find the brain actually consumes a lot of oxygen. Without the oxygen it will not function properly and that is why breathing is most critical in meditation.

We should actually learn to breath deeply before meditating. Most of us and I am one will take shallow breaths without noticing it. We should actually practice taking a deep breath every hour or more if possible. One of the therapies for a damaged lung would be to breath into a tube and watch a meter. Perhaps you can just learn to form your mouth like a kiss or pucker and produce the same effect. Actually very similar to blowing a trumpet. When our mouths are open more we tend to become lazy with breathing. Even some are able to breath through the nose which is even better.

Anyway not to get off subject meditation is a lot like an iceberg or the rocky mountains. It is also an oasis which you can count on. The more you meditate , the more you discover about your surroundings, the more you observe. There is nothing mystical or religious about meditation. It only enhances your brain regions that often lay dormant. They become excited just to wake up. Again one of my favorite saying is there is no mystery. It is actually better not to think about anything just relax. Mystery is not light.

Peace,

Earl.

Coal and Coral

These basic hardened structures have valuable lessons to tell. Both are made from life forms that were carbonized later to produce eloquent beauty.

Coal as we know was formed from the fern and other plant life that was around during the Pennsylvania era and other geographical regions. We can see some of the fern implanted in broken pieces. It is used as a source of fuel throughout the world. Amazingly coal can through another million years become a diamond. In fact most of our diamonds are found in Africa shows how old the continent really is.

I always tell people that are going through pain not to dwell on the coal. Dwell on the diamond.

Many years ago a 6-foot wingspan dragonfly was flying over this very spot where I am writing this. On the way to the river it may have captured a glimpse of me , who knows.

Then there is the coral another living being made up of many living organisms organized in polyps. They range in various shapes and beauty mainly found along the coastlines and amongst island reefs. Coral can feed on organisms as it is actually alive. We sometimes break a piece off from a rock and remove it from the ocean.

Mankind is very similar to coral in the sense we are made up of the same substance and form societies that feed off their surroundings. We can be colorful and each human organism forms the whole of humanity. Even when we die our carbon footprint is left behind to become part of the flora.
We do however put our corpses into boxes to try to prevents decay - why? This seems to me to be wasteful for land and resources. Many spend a good portion of their final estate on burial rather than leave to their grandchildren for education.

The coral is probably one of the most interesting of all of natures surprises. Many years of my life were spent in coral regions in the Pacific. This is where I first became a mystic , there was no place to go except inward. On the islands I grew to appreciate the local customs and languages. The language was spiritual in a sense that each character had a meaning, this is the same for the Chinese and the Hebrew. Two beautiful languages that it is hard to interpret without losing the original meaning. It may be that perhaps interpretation did not do justice.

What is the language of coal, the language of coral? Every life form has a language whether we perceive it or not. Sometimes it is just telling us about history or even nature itself. Just like we have body language frowns or smiles they also have a story. A mystic can become one with a piece of coral and listen to a story. They are quite interesting as some of the stories are millions of years old. They tell of different sea creatures and their civilizations long before mankind.

We think we are the only creatures with memories and find all living forms have memories. The coral is trying to tell us not to pollute the shorelines. The coral wants us to not drill for oil , to use the energy of the sun and wind. Peaceful creatures that have no voice except for a frequency beyond the common ear.

Let us hear the stories and live in our environment carefully.

Peace,

Earl.
