I was thinking that religion is going about it wrong. The this presence of God or at least religion doubts us. What if we're told, we believe in you. You're good. You're not the natural enemy of God. God made everything and God is everywhere so you're part of God and God is part of you. If you stumble that's ok. You don't need to plead for forgiveness and make up excuses and repent. You're good so therefore you ARE the good excuse. I believe your are a real as God. You teach a person to fish by first helping them believe in themselves. Discouragement is a tool of the devil in told. Yeah, so does that make religion a tool of the devil? I don't know that it does but they're doing it wrong. I'm just a secular Transhumanist and I believe in you religion. I just don't think you truly believe in yourselves and that's why. I'm not saying to do anything out of the ordinary. Just be nice to yourselves. It's ok to be abstinent. Just don't make someone feel shame for being addicted /having urges. If man shall not live in bread alone, they can't live in paper alone either. That's why Jesus said, ok, I had to clear some things up because of the lost people, but the only thing I want you to do is love others as you love thyself and the God head. That means, you are kind to yourself so you can be kind to others. Be kind to others so you can feel good about being kind to yourself. And be kind to the God head because they need love too. It's not just about an attitude of gratitude. This idea that God wants glory only creates glory hounds down here. If he truly wanted glory that is a very for help and a dwindling energy but what is going on here in this realm is not always love including in the USA. There is much despair. I think that if we all did this we don't just make it worth our time here on earth, but we make it with God's time and all his heavenly hosts' time too by creating a nurturing experience.
What gave me this idea besides my "rebellious nature?" The song "A Lonely Voice" by October Project.
youtu.be/nRa0wXsZUbgI was greatly influenced by music. Loreena McKennitte, Sheila Chandra, Tara Maclean, October Project, Enya, Corrs, Sarah McLachlan and many more. My journey already has begun in my heart and in my mind. Now my soul needs to begin that journey. How odd and sad that my body is doing better than what I've come to think of as a soul. Though, it simply could be a new part of me waiting to be born through experience, travel and culture. It's not that I want to be inclusive or progressive. That's politics. I want to simply connect with people. I want to meet them. I have a limited, vulnerable life that could be snuffed out at any time and I want to journey to see new things, and see things I've never heard of or felt or tasted. I want to love things I'd never have a chance to love any other way. I probably won't live forever. Transhumanism might not happen in my lifetime. But I want for time to stand still when I'm not.
