GOD

GOD

DEFINITION:
 the supreme or ultimate reality: as
a :  the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe
b Christian Science :  the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit :  infinite Mind
1. The one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
2. The Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute: the God of Islam.

This man-made concept has been on my mind for some time because of laws of attraction- people come to me for advice on whether or not their disassociation with their family’s chosen religion is a correct choice. Belief is important and vital to our survival because it stimulates ambition for life. Religion is counter-intuitive to me because it stimulates a lifestyle in pursuit of heaven, a place which supposedly becomes accessible after death, and is only accessible to those who were pious and righteous enough.

With so many available systems of belief to choose from it is no wonder people are obfuscated and overwhelmed by a sense of loneliness as they are ostracized for their decision. To help them cope with their new found separation I refer to a man I admire and respect. Carl Jung was a psychologist who was a pupil of Sigmund Freud. The holy trinity is not a myth that was concocted by Christians no matter what they want to believe. Every religion has a fundamental set of three gods, spirits, or other deities which represent the highest echelon of their hierarchical system of authority; whether it is considered polytheistic or monotheistic.

In his research he determined the God Delusion (to borrow a phrase from Dawkins) was a division of the self into three distinct parts (holy trinity). From what I understood Jung believed God to represent your conscious mind, the Holy Ghost is your subconscious mind, and Christ is your body.  I will also use Egyptian mythology/theology of Ra, Isis, and Horus as a similar example. All stories concocted by the imaginations of our species are similar in the way they describe you as a person and a God.

For those of you reading that are believers of some omnipotent power that is and always will be let us play a game. Pretend there is no God and never will be. Leaders of any religion claim to have a line of open communication with our “Creator” because of their position in said religion. Any commands given are considered “revelations” and spoken to the congregation through the mouth of the pulpit (leader of church). Any money or resources collected by this religion are used according to the will of this “Creator”.

Since God is non-existent (for the purpose of this little game) all of the energy, time, and resources provided by a majority of the congregation are collected by a minute minority. Fictitious entities are unable to communicate in any way. Therefore, people who attain positions of authority over a congregation only heed advice communicated by other people and their own mind. This is why religions operate much like corporate entities- men are in control; a figure head and orator surrounded by a board of directors who use him as a puppet to lie to the public and distract everyone from their existence, and the non-existence of God.

Here is my opinion- You exist and therefore you are a God. Reclaim your will over your self and learn to live again. Death is an inevitability that will devour us all. For now all we really know is that this world exists and we should enjoy what it has to offer instead of killing one another and it in the name of something no one can confirm. I send my love out to anyone whose mind is open and free. To those of you still enslaved by the indoctrination of your youth I wish you an arduous and painful resurrection.

I am god and so are you

Why would I give authority over my self to a god who you believe is in the sky, in the ground, or supposedly all around? I exist and so I am a god. Belief instills passion, and mine cannot die because I believe in me.

Should you be a person inclined to read feel free to view crime statistics; http://www.fbi.gov/stats-servi... ;http://www.census.gov/compendi... ; and http://www.bjs.gov/. In my humble opinion the data reflects our most impoverished and poorly educated communities. Yes, it is true most of these areas are populated by minorities, especially black people. Wages are important to the struggle for equality, but what I think is more important is a thorough education. People who are informed and knowledgeable about laws and processes tend to be able to navigate difficult social situations more maturely. Educated people are also able to resolve most conflicts of life before they become physical altercations and violent encounters that may endanger others. America is in decline right now because of greed and these riots are simply the frustrations of people who do not know how the legal system works, and people who do not have an educated voice to speak for them. Police presence in neighborhoods where the majority of inhabitants are opposed to it will only incite uneducated people to violence. Everyone is a little bit racist, and this need to stop. We are all people and our resources should be redistributed to provide a similar life for as many humans on this planet as possible. Greed and the century of self has caused an education, and consequently a wage disparity in this country which will be its end. Remember that no matter what color your skin is you are a person. People are scared of a global world, but it is an inevitably of our evolution. We now live in a time of pending tyranny and oppression is nigh. This choice point is crucial to the development of this country and how we will impact the world as it becomes more connected as a whole. As a people we must decide if we will succumb to the carnal tendencies of violent revolution (a direction that will only yield the exact same result, as proven by our cyclical history), or realize our potential through new legislation which protects our civil liberties and promotes true equality. Our education system failed us, our judicial system failed us, and now are penal system condemns us with imprisonment for our frustrations. Regardless of who you are violence is not the answer. I wish for nothing more than for a utopia to be created in my lifetime, and I think the only way this would be possible is if we allow every person on the planet to have access to the same information and education. I send my love to those live this struggle every day. End rant.
