“A Rant” Read if you dare!

I’m a little tired of trying to sound like a big expert writer with my blog entry’s when I’m really not. There are so many people, including many people on Facebook, who write really well compared to me. I’m an amateur writer and choose to write mostly  because it helps organize my thoughts but also because I’ve learned that it helps me think through more possibilities in the pursuit of knowledge. Writing is really a form of thinking and so the process has added some complexity to my views of life in this way. I write like an authority but I really have no authority just arguments and observations I like to think matter. 

For much of my adult life I’ve admired the honest evangelist Billy Graham. I would watch his televised addresses broadcast from baseball stadiums across the world and I had a collection of tapes of His religious gatherings that had beautiful singing, testimonies, and Billy preaching the word of God. In my twenties I would drink beers watching the tapes when I was alone and seeking much needed spiritual support and uplift in my life. Billy called on the enormous audiences before him to come forward and accept Jesus Christ into their lives. He would quote the Bible telling his audience: “You must be born again of the Spirit”.

I really admired Billy and I myself believe in the actual historical existence of a figure known as Jesus Christ. What has changed for me somewhat is greater knowledge of the world and of history.

The more I’ve had time to think over the years the more I’ve dared asked myself and God some questions. One question I’ve felt compelled to ask is why would this existence be such an unfair place when it came to the experiential chances, and therefore limited opportunity, to hear such a message preached by Billy Graham in order to be saved. Why would so many of us in this life therefore have no fair potential at reaching the saving ideas said to be our only hope beyond this world.

I wonder why the rules of existence would be so unfair like this. Why would God and His created universe calculate terms that the odds of humanity finding hope were odds this desperate and this hopeless a picture for so many.

Multitudes of people, accordingly if such terms are correct, will perish from the odds allowed by those conditions of experience and opportunity. Such reasoning only allows safe passage to a narrow few out of so many other billions of lost souls in life. Such thinking suggests that God demands from us that we must know certain doctrine accurately but doctrine outside many of our human experiences in this world to know.

People fearfully cling to their Bible’s and recite word for word assertions based on, according to them, a flawless literally interpreted word of how history supposedly, word for word, literally happened too.

This is a dangerous life when it comes to physical survival and the ideas human beings dabble in. This life is even more dangerous then we think. If what these systems of thought to date, engineered into concepts, various persuasions, antidotes, and truth claims, are totally correct, word for word in their claims, we all are facing even far worse danger then we could ever of foresaw in our more rosy care free moments of joy. For if ideology in life must be sorted through for explanations of hope and if out of that journey one specific ideology, of so many, must be adopted, and this is how humanity will be determined a fate in the afterlife, then we the sifters, the simple, navigating, error finding persons in this confusing world, best hope we somehow, by rather feeble odds of hope for many of us,  grasp unto the right ideological antidote for hope. We better secure for ourselves that arbitrary antidote wisely otherwise we'll go elsewhere then somewhere pleasant with multitudes of other abandoned human beings running along with us.

 

With so many ideas confusing us, them being diverse and distinct from each other, with them moving across language, culture, tradition, being shaped by histories of family genealogy, then, within this smorgasbord of truth claims and claimed certitudes that are all wrestling for our agreement, is this how God really will unevenly award out rewards and punishments? If this is how it is, this gloom and doomsday calling we are asked to accept on planet Earth, and our hope really only wrests in a minority of voices who stumble into a stadium and hear a charismatic evangelists message being motivated to disturb us into repentance then how is this a fair world for many.

 

While such weak voices make such proclamations into the wind billions of other people, many decent people in India, China, Africa, Indonesia, Iran,  slink off into the sunset of their graves void of this antidote that might of offered them this saving grace.

 

We are in one desperate pickle if God isn’t fairer then we are and we should tremble and shake and let our despair overwhelm us for keeps because life is one strange experiment then.

Why would there be an inferno like punishment of hell for doctrinal incompatibility also when our inadequate discovery of another mans truth is so common to the human condition that it leads mankind to reach many different unavoidable conclusions in how we see the world in order to believe the different ideas that we do.

I still admire Billy and I still believe that Jesus Christ was crucified in history and died for our sins but I have not succumb to accepting that the downfall of most of humanity is included within that saving plan of love.

To add to my confusion of life a full scale Noah's Ark attraction and theme park opened on July 7, 2016 in northern Kentucky. This ark is constructed with the dimensions described in the Bible in the book of Genesis. Visitors to this ark can see life size models of animals such as elephants, unicorns, komodo dragons and velciraptors.

Even though the book of Genesis in the Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old the museum claims that there were still dinosaurs less then 6,000 years ago and that they coexisted with people of Bible times in the period of Noah. The museum offers no explanations of how the dinosaurs then went extinct.

I watched the documentary on this Noah’s Ark museum on PBS which had classrooms within the museum that school children visiting the ark daily filled by the hundreds each hour of the day. They teach the children there how dinosaurs were among the creatures to have survived the flood by being permitted access to ride on the giant ark with all the other kinds of animals.

Apparently, for size and space issues however, the dinosaurs were conveniently baby dinosaurs. This all explains then the archeological evidence of dinosaurs while the earth can still be said to really be only 6,000 years old supposedly anyway. I’m left with a reaction to these claims that for me has me feeling a far greater skepticism then  merely having just plenty of uncertain doubts.

On the other side of looking at belief in life is the view that religion or the idea of God is an absurd one. Such human claims of knowledge assert to have a grasp on everything relevant about the world’s mysteries in this way enough so to put God and questions of meaning to rest that look to the unknown for a form of superior life.  This form of atheistic belief explains for us then, supposedly adequately enough, our meaning when it comes to these unknowns, or ultimately our lack of meaning as we will die and cease to exist.

I wonder myself however if it could be possible that we haven't gathered half, or even a few, of the pieces to this puzzle as of yet in order to put them together right. Can the truth in our current understanding of our existence remain vastly incomplete and inadequately resolved. Could the real overarching truth of existence mysteriously still exist as a mystery beyond our present imaginations capacity to understand it.

Maybe then truth isn't all neatly described and laid out by our proud human knowledge claims on both sides. Could it be not only probable but extremely likely that we don't know where we are in the firmament of the infinite sky?

My view of humanity now isn't tribal like it was before so my views have changed in this way too. I don't mistakenly desire to look suspiciously and with hostility towards outsiders beyond the border of my own country. I'll only be on this hostile earth a short while with all the conflict here. Many people in this world will spend their lives justifying hatred and producing in familiar packs selfishness that looks outward and casts blame on others. I choose in my beliefs to unapologetically try and care about people everywhere regardless if their ideas align with my beliefs or even my interests.

 

I'm only human so yes if some ISIS fanatic picked up a knife and sliced off my hand I'd have to abandon my attempt to try and have love for them in that instance. Yet really the view that all humanity is loved and matter, as hard as at times I might try to care in this way and can’t, is how I think God really feels about humanity.

 

People can and will invent all the corrosive, hateful, fanatical, division creating ideas they can indoctrinating the sponge like audiences who are willing to soak it up because minds love a good hate. Despite this truth though when you show hatred you aren't really doing what is ultimately right or what really matters in this life in my opinion. You’re acting in ways I believe that don’t understand that love is what governs everything around us and so you miss life’s real terms and the ultimate picture.

 

You might say fuck that nonsense I don’t believe that. What If however you could have love to be real, as being what overarches everything in life, would you permit it if you were the one to choose if it was allowed or would you rather the way it is now in a divided judgmental world. Would you rather hold unto the idea of this divided world, a world ultimately with no future hope or purpose, a world where every common man is a great angry judge of his neighbor.

 

Many people I think would prefer this later option because they’d rather an imperfect love in the world that was simply on their terms is the sad truth of human belief.

 

When we judge each other we don't usually have a coherent explanation of people’s history and that personal histories effects on the persons thought nor do we have any general or adequate insight into the reality of most other people’s lives. The challenges the human race therefore faces, and has faced since civilization began, means that human lives have always been in a state of real ignorance the majority of the time wherever they sat and analyzed their surroundings and wherever they struggled in their behavior toward each other.

 

What we have in our knowledge when we judge each other is only little bits and pieces of the puzzle strewn together into an argument that feels good. Our judgment secures and justifies ourselves and our need to be right and justified in who we are in a self serving way by pursuing our own self interest.

 

I think we take delight ranting and raving at other people who we think are deserving of our condemnation from our belief we have great understanding and righteousness. For all the injustice and calamity in the world we get to remain pure, innocent and self-righteously right in condemning each other.

 

What this kind of world view misses, at least one important thing it misses, is that real love for people understands instead that people in their numerous states of ignorance and error have no real vision to find their way out of error a great deal of the time.

 

If God is just and fair and loving I can't see Him sifting through all humanity, across all cultures, and assigning blame ruthlessly and then excluding from Heaven, callously, the people who are really beautiful, even when misguided, everywhere in this world regardless what ideas exist there where they live.

 

How, for instance, can a young mind in this world know what's in his or her best interest most of the time. That mind inevitably will find the material unavoidably, in the form of persuasive thought, that is nearest to that persons life, and it will, regardless of it’s value, present itself to them in charismatic form. The guided person in life then won't know how to overt their eyes from the ideas in this innocence and so the older teachers will profit from their vulnerability. Like parasites the idea deliverers act by offering no saving path to avoid any of this toxicity of thinking or ideology and even they usually don’t know any better themselves.

 

The mind of mankind will therefore unavoidably get poisoned in life and our minds are blank canvasses that need direction. You can't just fill a mind with any kind of garbage at all and expect people to be able to reason their way to peace and safety that's what we don't seem to understand. People are stewing in all kinds of ideas through their imagination without any real readable road signs, with no compelling councilor in sight, and succumbing to the worst of influences. So bad ideas lay dormant in the subconscious and within the imagination of people while in many societies throughout this world there is a stubborn unwillingness to help guide humanity by the right kind of teaching for them.

 

When we tell youth that Jesus, for instance, has no relevance, although His ideas really offer us life foundations for how to think healthily in our relationships, we fail them. We fail society because God taught the clearest way to non violence, forgiveness, and toward having real concern and compassion for our fellow man in a demonstration of real love.

 

I think that God exists and looks over all of us human beings with love. I believe that people in their fifties and sixties are still children in the eyes of God. I think that God sees how ideologies spread, knows how those ideas move, understands how susceptible to good and bad ideas we are in this world. I think He knows people fall innocently into error and that people judge error ruthlessly with severity but that those who judge are rarely fair within themselves.

 

I think God gets that multitudes in certain regions of earth will fight for meaningless causes, that regions of the planet will know different religions, and that people will make mistakes. Instead of God severely dividing up those with the right ideas, and casting away those with the wrong ideas, I suggest He as our God will be merciful, fair, and show who He is which is love. He will show us what is love fully revealed, not half-hidden, on a scale so mindboggling we can't even begin to fathom its possibilities for us.

 

When I did a study of history by watching Yale and other university lectures online I learned about Ancient Israel and about the Hebrew or Old Testament scriptures. As the professor went through the first part of the Bible as an historian, and not someone who takes literally accounts of talking donkeys, man eating fish, staves turning into snakes, parting red seas, Moses in a basket rescued from a river by Pharos daughter and etc. I took it all in and thought about what constitutes real knowledge.

 

I spent fifteen years learning of ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, ancient China, ancient Rome, then watching lectures on the middle ages, reading about Christian history, learning of the history of science and other subjects. I mention this to make the point that previously I had no thorough conception for how the world works before I did this study. I still don’t understand a lot about this world but what I did learn by this study is how humanity has always been searching for the truth.

 

You no doubt have heard of the Inquisitions. That was the Church cruelly responding to other ideas threatening their control of thought at the time. These ideas challenged the Church’s self-professed ownership of the right to truth. The punishments were severe too, disembowelments, torture wheels, people burned alive etc..

 

The Church thought it held the only claims that were to be permitted for human beings to think upon. Yet people, like in ancient Greece with men like Aristotle, and many others of every age, they kept pursuing truth. Those that came after them were other philosophers and future scientists who began cataloging nature, philosophizing about our moral rights, constructed political systems, and created rule of law. Such thinkers pursued many other endeavors too too numerous to list. Some thinkers tried to understand the celestial movements of planets in the galaxy and some thinking dared to question the absolute authority of the Bible as literal history or the earth as the center of the universe.

 

I don’t think this is bad at all even if you believe in God like I do. At least such developments of ideas in our history unfolding like this doesn’t have to be bad.  I think truth is something we as humanity have been on course to pursuing and desiring to figure out for a greater reason as far back as our history of ourselves allows us to look. This is why I don’t mind Darwinian evolutionists when their thought is on course in the pursuit of truth wanting to find it. I don’t feel hate or hostility toward people who say there is no God either. In my feeble opinion if humanity was all simply gullible enough to believe in floating arks filled with unicorns and dinosaurs we wouldn’t have much intelligence or much freedom at all to speak of.

 

Such thinking might fail to believe in God yes but to question the idea of there not being a God must be something God allows, if He exists, and that I suspect He finds unthreatening to Him unlike us who can feel greatly insulted and threatened by it.

 

As humanity we wonder about many different possibilities testing uncertainty with different preoccupations by searching and wondering about life’s mysteries in this world. All of us can wonder about life’s mysteries and puzzles by wondering where everything came from and where everything is going. We can ask what really is out there in the cosmos. What natural laws don’t we yet understand. What other life might exist and if we dare ask it if there is hope for us. We can ask can love account for more then merely being an evolutionary adaptation in emotion for social survival and we can ask could God exist giving our lives further future purpose and immeasurable joy.  

 

All through history people have asserted themselves to hold different ideas about our world with certainty. That has always meant that it has been in our nature to be miniature experts.

 

However much I may wonder about all this and try and remain open to different possibilities my trust returns again to my Lord as the figure of a compassionate and loving Jesus hanging on a Roman Cross. For me I really do believe He suffered and died for our sins. Yet I think Jesus was dying too for Hindus and Muslims and Buddhists and Atheists and the entire world population.

 

When the scriptures were written the writers knew nothing of the world beyond that area of the Roman Empire and the area around ancient Israel. If they had written the Bible with the knowledge of our world we have now the pages would likely have been written very differently. This has to be perhaps because the Holy scriptures have human authorship as well as Gods hand in their creation. Imperfect people under Divine inspiration wrote the Bible over many years.

 

I choose to believe this myself and yet I don’t have a complete system of knowledge explaining history in order and completeness and I don’t think anyone does in completeness. We can argue like we have a full account for reality on earth so all history can be all summed up by us and so we can justify our beliefs in this way but in reality no human being can have all of that knowledge. I believe neither of us whether a scientist, a philosopher, a person of faith knows this mystery adequately enough to say absolutely what lies behind us, beyond us etc..

 

I don’t have a neat system therefore like some people that assert by those arguments to know that the obviously fictitious story’s of The Old Testament for instance, which I don’t take to be literal history, are, according to them, real history as it occurred. According to some people to not take everything literally in the Bible throws holes in everything else about God but I don’t believe that to be so. I don’t know if the story’s were allegory's but I choose to think they did come from divine inspiration in people’s lives searching for meaning.

 

Regarding the natural order around us here material particles in various configurations are said to be moving and reconfiguring in accordance with physical law. Philosophers in response have asked that if we assume that the series never had a beginning in time then why is there such a series when there might have been a different one or even a changeless void.

 

Matter too has, in infinite space with all it's unknowns, oddly created us people, constructed in us a complicated brain that curiously has a state of consciousness finding us in a somewhat knowing and observing state. The mental state we now know as living, self aware, conscious beings leads us to make some of our arguments for the existence of God from it. Some of our arguments are based on the demands of mortality, the existence of beauty, the normativity of human rationality, religious experience etc.

 

Life in this way is most interesting such as the desire we have to look outward and beyond us in the universe for clues of our existence. Will we discover other living beings out there somewhere. As we explore far back into our own past in history what might be found there. When we look into the nature of knowledge, its possibility, scope, and general bases where will it lead in our search for certainty in this life.

 

Out of history and the doctrines held absolutely to be real by the Church there came also arguably a healthy skepticism. This skepticism became prepared to consider the application of doubt even to oneself and not merely to other things until a solid criterion of truth can be produced and we aren’t there yet in this life.

 

Reading a little on metaphysics made me wonder upon ultimate reality recently and what really exists and what is it that distinguishes existence and makes it possible. Some of us search to find evidence that life has meaning and purpose after our death. But what an anomaly this existence is for us to be a part of all this life here, and maybe, it remaining yet to be revealed, perhaps fantastically, far greater unknown possibilities may await us.

 

Again this existence is a state where we have a consciousness curiously. The question could be then asked does our self-awareness in existence emerge from sheer random chance or for a larger purpose. Can we survive our death and find purpose in a future beyond our lives here and now. I believe that a future with God does exist for us and that even for skeptics and atheists that it’s premature of them to assume that there isn't something important to our being alive and that life doesn’t have something in store for our future. The survival of death would explain further our shared experiences, like the profound meaning we know and feel in the love we have for each other.

 

I think that I know there is something beyond us and it’s God.  He has a guiding hand in matter constructing the design or blueprint and complexity of us and our bodily systems and complex brains. He is responsible as well for the curios and wonderful natural environment we find ourselves surrounded by. So I think that there is something intrinsically valuable in the thought we now know and have freedom to use.

 

I often wonder why God would be threatened in His omnipotence by human freedom. He as God knows past, present and future and in this way therefore understands the course human beings will take across time in every intellectual investigation we undertake that searches for the truth. Will God condemn us for roads He no doubt prepared for us to wonder down.

 

I would like to state this also that I feel that many people in life would be truly kind, on a much larger scale, if they would only be allowed and presented with the right opportunity to be so. The chance rarely presents itself in life by opening up for us the opportunity for a seismic chance at real kindness in a kind action we can take.

 

If many people among us could be transported somehow to 1944 Auschwitz Germany to the concentration camps controlled by the Nazis what might that mean. If somehow the SS guards could become distracted and the people seeking kindness could offer the starving Jewish people there, women, men, old and young, heaping bowls of meat stew. If in these people’s hands now was the opportunity to see the suffering prisoners momentary joy and to feel their extreme gratitude in their malnourished state as they ate the food gratefully. If people could give the prisoners arm loads of loafs of fresh bread and also offer great sympathy and reassurances that the war would soon be over and that they’d be soon released how would showing that kind of love change them?

 

If we could love the people there in that awful place in history as human beings many many people would find such a personal opportunity like this for love, compassion, and kindness to be appreciated from them something deeply satisfying to their souls.

 

In that act of love there would be no doctrinal differences of ideas about who God is interfering in that concern for the prisoners because we'd simply be acting in a way, at least then in that situation, that we could now see was clearly intrinsically right and good. Such an obvious decision of how love works in this instance defies a need for an ideological correctness of belief in others and shows us love and how God really sees humanity I believe. The people in the concentration camp could just as easily have been Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or any other group and to show love would matter just as much.

 

This is love and this is who I think God really is. This is and how God will treat all of humanity not by our narrow road doctrines that look at humanity and have us figuring from our hardness of heart that only few persons of the human race will find Heaven. Love is the real language God deals in and we only understand it’s light before us dimly.

 

When I posted this argument in a chat room yesterday making reference to the concentration camp one reaction was voiced in reply particularly to it. The remark that was voiced basically said that “this world suffers from over population anyway”.

 

I guess I could interpret that unusual reaction to mean that feeding hungry people is a wasted action in a world of over population by this belief. I could maybe infer perhaps also that this person might see his own interests selfishly, with a self entitlement to his food, and with little empathy beyond his own immediate neighbors. Yet why do we here in North America consider ourselves by this kind of logic to be the one’s of the world who shouldn’t starve and that others in say Africa or India or China to be the one’s burdening the resources of the planet and not us equally so.

 

The people in all corners of this earth are as equally human as anyone  anywhere else. Yet national, racial, religious, cultural identities dissect that perspective alienating people from a belief in a shared equal humanity across the planet.

 

Religion can dissect humanity into distinctions reducing the dignity of other people. Patriotism does the same thing to our trust of others, our understanding, and our compassion toward them. I profess this to be an error most sinister if we think anything about other humanity other then in us trying to bridge our divide with these other people.

 

All people in general believe that God supports their country ahead of, or in spite of, the interest of others regardless which nation they live in. Monarchs, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Dictators all proclaim that God loves them and favors and supports them. It really doesn't matter to the people there therefore if their nations are Socialist, Communist, a Kingdom, or a Democracy because all believe the same thing and justify all kinds of actions, intentions and conduct in the belief their favored and more important then everyone else.

 

Finally our eyes and senses receive stimuli from the world and then our brain organizes that stimuli using language and constructing concepts.  Out of this process, commonly in human nature, the tendency we have in our thought, from it, is to judge others. In this way we unfortunately regularly judge each other very imperfectly.

 

As we judge others we seem to not perceive within ourselves, in our own minds, in how we form our own judgments our own great error. This error believes commonly enough in human nature that instead of being unjust in our indignation that we’re innocent and great in our views and opinions being justifiable authorities in our views of the value of other people.Through our indignant attitudes in judging we err greatly and all people at times of course do.

 

I think the tendency we have to err in judgment is an inherent and prevalent one in human nature. We might understand that a lot of other people have strange ideas and that often they are not simply just flawed but totally wrong. Yet we still live under the illusion that our own particular attitudes read and judge the world personally with flawless and accurate insight even when we condemn others self-righteously.

 

When judging others it isn’t the case however that we are justified in doing so. When we fail to see the worth of other people through our judgment of them and when we justify that we’re righteous and worth something more then someone else then we err. If who we speak angrily of isn’t worth anything then we’re greatly mistaken in our judgment of other people then.

 

I suggest that It's not just ok to love others everywhere but that it’s us with the greatest insight and understanding we can possess when we love all other people in this world regardless of what their ideological condition is.

Yet we can't ordinarily grasp this kind of universal all encompassing love when we see violent people or misunderstood other cultures. We see them instead as being without our own beliefs about ultimate truth of who God is for instance.

 

By showing an all inclusive love, however, it has an importance for our lives more real then the current distinctions we make through our own ideology lenses. This is true because it is really true that love is the ultimate transcending language governing all things in life. Love seen for all life everywhere deserves our true and real attention beyond our judgments of one another. Whatever systems of mistaken thought we may know in the human race as individuals or groups what it all comes down to is that we are all in various states of unavoidable error. We need to love the human person in spite of the moral or idea errors a person gets lost under the spell of in order for us to find real wisdom.

 

The darkness was strung by the stars and as I observed them I kept wanting to stop, and enjoy, and stare, and pray, but I was hurried instead to keep moving on. So I left the hollow under the moonlight. Then it was another time that I returned and came out under the stars again. I beheld this time that the canopy of Heaven was still there and so I murmured and prayed there in that valley beneath Heaven which I thought exploded in singing there in the weeping of the morning dew around me.

 

I realized then in an instant it could be counted on that nothing surpasses the greatness or the dignity of a human person. Human life, I clearly recognized, was not just an idea or an abstraction. Human life is the concrete reality of a being that is capable of love and this truth endures, this truth will not go away.

 

Truth I knew will not pass or change. I was therefore reassured to have no fear of moving into that unknown. I felt that God was with me and I understood I could step out fearlessly knowing that no harm can befall me, all is very, very well.

 

I then dreamed that night that I was in a dory rowboat and paddling across the tranquil, bottomless, star lit, cosmic oceans of Nova Scotia riding and rolling on the tides being there effected by gravity. I rolled there on the water somewhere between the planets and those great unseen ravines of silence out there. I was below the moon somewhere in that awesome emptiness.

 

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

 

1 John 4:7

The reaches of tomorrow

Everything that we experience on earth comes to us as a knowledge claim (not necessarily accurate knowledge) and in these forms come the numerous kinds systems that by their nature make arguments about what the truth about meaning is or who God is.

 

These arguments about belief come to us with their various claims. They are all dependent on a multiplicity of organized, structured, distinct ideas put together persuasively over time and location that are influential on all thought in different ways. These ideas are passed down across time after moving through the generations and after being continuously and persuasively shared to whoever hears them, regardless what the claims are, wherever anyone in the world is who hear them.

 

Therefore what this really means for us is that thought regularly effects many individuals unfairly. If only one claim of a belief is true because of this only some of the people in the world can hear that specific belief and its specific thought that is said to be the real truth.

 

The reason that thought effects us unfairly like this is because by these terms we can’t all possibly embrace the same ideas about the truth. If therefore we can’t just all know the “same” and supposedly the “right ideas” by any  use of our will what then does that mean. If all of us are not part of an experience where a “freedom of will” is universally available across earth to us all then who gets the ability to recognize by the use of an accurate free will truth and who doesn’t get that free will to know “truth” in the wider world.

 

Are these terms not uneven and arbitrary. Also to be considered then because of these assumptions we might draw too easily is the idea God is blotting out entire regions from His love. Are such assumptions not really a gross distortion of the love that He has for us all everywhere in the world.

 

It seems we are forced very simply to think that by our personal using of a will toward our own belief that us knowing what we know correctly simply satisfies our own eternal future alone and therefore is personally satisfactory and conscionable despite all other peoples eternal future in question all over the planet elsewhere.

 

Yet how can someone else simply arrive at the same decision we do in India or Pakistan or China by any use of a will. Is this an inability on our part therefore to fairly decide the worth of other people in God’s eyes. Despite when our illusions reassure ourselves in our own faith communities that such thinking is all justifiable and that others everywhere our held to account by our own scriptures how reasonable is it to think this way. 

 

Ideas, claims,  religious systems, or atheist accounts of reality, they all guide our thoughts in our place in time by persuasively leading us through history to the present day. We are easily lead by one argument of these persuasions in one form or another. The many numerous accounts of reality argue out for us, we the imperfect interpreters of truth, us the imperfect human beings, the numerous arguments of supposed truth. By these truth claims in our vulnerability we “all of us everywhere” are easily won over and shaped into various kinds of beliefs using this magical “free will” to embrace compelling evidence of “numerous” kinds of belief in various cultures.

 

What the reality really is that “supposedly” these ideas clearly decide for us inevitably is very questionable. If our vulnerable impressionable and interpretative capacity is a terribly flawed way of interpreting truth, where commonly, not uncommonly, we can’t accurately decipher one way over another, good from evil, truth from falsehood, then what we then will embrace is then chosen often naively.

 

After we are forced to choose out of this chaos of ideas that certain guiding idea, that is usually just the doctrine and system of thought present in our immediate location, then that particular thinking then will presumably decide for all of us our future. No matter if we have it right or wrong, what destiny will ultimately be decided for us in where we will end up with God or without God forever we often think is decided in this way.

 

This terrifying human construct of hope, or lack there of hope, is so scary, arbitrary and even grossly unfair to billions of simplistic people on earth though. By it’s terms it arrives to us impressionable minds driving our experiences in hopelessly disorganized terms leaving it up to us, the world’s people, to decide requiring us to choose correctly or incorrectly in a chaotic world and once decided on a truth to distance ourselves from others truth.

 

For people thoughts, through different ideas that appear in so many varied forms, our arguments that appear as claims to what the truth is and appear in so many different ways. This means that for so many people truths terms, whoever has the truth among us, are really terms of “truth” that offer only some people hope, by the strict archaic nature of the terms, and only despair inevitably for the rest of the world.

 

If God is love however, which is how I choose to see God, then in spite of ideology, despite all people by necessity being aligned to the accurate belief, what If ultimately God’s plan exceeds such limitations and really offers understanding and compassion to the other religions. As a Being of transcendent love might He God more fairly then we can foresee offer the world a better hope then our terms allow. Might Gods mercy extend beyond the condemnation fueled judges of this worlds knowledge.

 

If the knower of all consciousness, of all states of mind; as the reader of all interior lives meaning all our thoughts; as the compassionate investor in others that we either have knowledge of, or don’t have knowledge of; if He really knows us people what might He on His terms really end up meaning for us in our future.

 

That Being of goodness and perfect love is why we're here some think , is why we get to know and love people, why we have experiences and He is the reason for many that we hope that we'll see our loved ones again.

 

Beyond our darkest anxieties, our worst state of skepticism, in our sometimes inability to see hope in life, what if eventually what will be meeting us after this life is over will be the fullest and grandest possible state of experience beyond measurement. What if that experience for us is a future  where what we now see in part as good on earth is really only a foretaste of an relinquished geniuses existing beyond our imaginations ability to predict because out there what there is God hasn’t given us the complete ability to envision by reading His mind.

 

Even If Heaven is simply a reordering of the natural world, which it is far more then that, in a way where we then see life in more hospitable terms. Even if Heaven seen in this way, as a reordering of the natural world, can be seen as a kinder gentler nature, a painless, deathless, worry free existence free from melancholy, gloom, disappointment, mistreatment or boredom. What’s seen as a glimpse of Heaven in this way in eventuality will end up being a fathomlessly far better and greater state of existence then merely the earth simply improved. Heaven is God’s creative genius unrestrained, free, lovingly and unfathomably unleashed and it will therefore end up being something larger and far grandeur then this to enjoy.

 

We will then look on in awe at the majesty of all things known and far greater the things unknown. The place before us and it’s possibilities exhaust previous optimism greatly transcending it and traveling beyond all creative pondering and wishful thinking. It’s reachable for us, and soon enough, waiting to be explored is it’s terrain infinite and inexhaustible in mystery and joyful discovery full of reassurance of a good that transcends all reality here or anywhere else.

 

Heavens duration too is eternal, the terms of it’s nature only good, it’s ways just, kind, it’s discoveries endlessly interesting and beautiful and above all fair. Here is God and here real knowledge will come fairly untainted by current error meeting all of our senses in love and understanding.

 

It’s here in Heaven that I really want to meet all my relatives that I love and miss. It’s here I hope I meet Jesus. I wish as well to meet the just of all the worlds other religions and to know all good people everywhere who sought after fairness and struggled and searched for truth.

Evil is among us here.

Real evil exists, I think it’s true to say that it does. I began somewhat of an armchair study of world history by watching online university lectures starting a few years ago leading up until today. In order to imperfectly appreciate the full magnitude of how evil is working against people across the human experience I have tried to learn a little history. This learning process I believe has revealed for me a basic understanding, shared by a lot of people of course, that an undeniable evil exists and that this force has continually confronted human beings over time. 

Sitting here now sitting still in this room I have many thoughts traveling at light speed moving through my solitary mind in the quiet. To think in the world like this, thinking in the way I’m doing now and at different moments like this across time, means commonly enough having to face at certain instances, though we might not like to admit it, the personal invading influence of a force of actual evil on our lives.  We do sometimes face this obvious conclusion, of course, that some kind of real evil really does challenge us and our wellbeing in the world.  

A personal example I’m familiar with of evils influence for me occurs in my thoughts and other people I’ve met after we find ourselves facing certain hostile circumstances. Occurring after or during any kind of conflict situation with other people we know we may experience certain troubling thoughts attempting to drive potential action. These thoughts at these troubling times occur in the mind by attempting to motivate our behavior in retaliation in a kind of aggressive response against  people who have hurt us. The people we look at have hurt us by their words or behavior so now we find ourselves unavoidably desiring to punish them. What occurs to us, as a potential course of action, are thoughts of acting violently against them.

We must defeat evil here in the private, isolated, quiet places within our own mind. This personal invasion upon us individually really wants us to self-destruct and harm others. 

How might such influence on human thought penetrate the leaders minds in the higher levels of government. I believe unfortunately such leaders are just as susceptible to such influences.

 In trying to combat evil I’ve observed it to be true where at rare instances, at bad moments, but moments that do occur, we face and we confront serious choices and challenges within our thoughts. The source of the threat I know is actual evil.

I believe the struggle really arises for me in chaotic situations like when my feelings have been deeply hurt by someone’s words. When we are really troubled by hostile behavior, confronted by degrading words, or by really negative opinions of us we can find ourselves there in that state in a really troubling situation to begin with. We are effected there by an intense negativity and hostility against us. Those people suggest that they don’t hold us in high regard or with a favorable image that we really want others to have of us so it deeply hurt us for instance.

Before evil even acts if a person then goes out of their way to add additional humiliation to how we feel then In these few minutes or seconds of thought, in that troubled state of mind, a situation within the persons mind may potentially entertain thoughts of violence on it’s own.

It would take a lot of pain, a particularly hurtful situation for most of us, but then evil appears as a temptation offering a driving message, a retaliatory solution. Evil even begins to compete now as the viable course of potential action, usually through impulsive behavior, as a form of violent persuasion.

We are tempted by this force of evil in the universe and the mentally ill aren’t the only people. This persuasion adds fuel to any anger we have and try's to use our own anger to control our reasoning and desired course of action. Evils vision can use our own imagination effecting our own thoughts by placing in reach for us solutions arguing for potential violence as an ego saving restorative course of action we can take.

 This mischievous guiding influence try’s to have us pursue this violence impulsively by trying to have us think, in our defiance against our pain and who we think caused it, that this potential hostile behavior is justified as a course of actual action. In these moments of agitation we can have such angry thoughts coming at us through our pain that we have a hard time calming down and not being driven downstream with this current of aggression. 

I think the majority of people who face challenges like these in their thinking consider the violent ideas through clenched fists but these thoughts are never acted out in actual behavior. Nevertheless whether there is a harmful result of the thinking or not I believe the ideas that occur to us are ideas inspired by evil and that this evil is working on many human lives all of the time in the world.

 In the quiet of our minds we are confronted at moments of personal conflict with feelings which come at us while feeling intense emotional pain. To be here in the world amongst people is to experience negativity, condescension, rejection, contempt, blows to our ego, indifference to our reputation, discard for our wellbeing and general welfare, slights, conspiracies against us, threats both physical and emotional toward us.  We have to hold our heads up high and weather these storms but most people who fail at this test are never properly taught what to do in response to these challenges. They don’t know how to handle humiliation, heartbreak, dishonor, and other blows to their person.

Our choices are made in our minds in places and times where we feel this intense emotion effecting us. Outside of ourselves who we know in our neighborhoods and those circles of friends might be people who model all the wrong norms for us. Subcultures, little insular circles of peers, buddies, pals gathered together bouncing bad ideas off each other, can set the destructive norm’s standard in our life that seems too believable for us as good choices and credible reactions to our pain. However deeply flawed and dangerous these solutions we model for each other are, and however our future will end up bad because of the impact of listening to these influences, many people commonly fall victim to these norms nonetheless.   

It is really true too that our state of mind is in more chaos and danger then we recognize. We have to face these intensely felt hostilities internally and then the demonic solutions that can arise within us from beyond us. We are not evil and nor are these attacks rare. They come from outside of ourselves and prey on our self-interest that is faced with feelings of pain which our defenses are weary from confronting. Life just keeps throwing at us insults it seems. Then these satanic solutions play like a movie in many minds imaginations by imagining a violent response frame by frame in certain states of mind we find ourselves in through our anger.

This dark influence on the world is attempting to motivate retaliatory courses of action and disrupt human life. We may even act upon the ideas in the way it tempts us if we lose the war. It is because of the pain that we feel in seconds of hurt feelings like this that evil can try, and often does succeed, in making the case where it seems justifiable to us to listen to our defiant thoughts against people who hurt us somehow. The impact routinely means that many good people who react lose their futures after being lead by evil ideas.

Evils council doesn’t come with big signposts saying “I am evil and I’m here to ruin your life!” People likely don’t see evil as evil. Many people who do act upon the evil council don’t even understand that something better then these false solutions really has our honor, integrity, dignity, future happiness, much more in mind through and beyond our present pain. Our future wellbeing is at stake and who we may harms wellbeing is at stake also.

The reminders we have of past pain make us defiant against allowing new wounds to effect us. It presents us with our biggest challenge in life which is enduring these struggles peacefully. The rising hostility surfaces in our thoughts mysteriously enough and we can believe and be strongly suspect of these ideas origins.

The accumulated nurturing of negative thoughts like these will normalize evils pathway making it even easier in a moment of indecision to act impulsively. We act impulsively after we have normalized evils repetitious ideas innocently and obliviously over time because of our own vulnerability and inability to know a better response.

In these vulnerable states, at our big crossroads in life, our judgments, blurred and impaired by intense feelings, can’t foresee the consequences, or accurately define for us how our future will end up, when we listen to such council.

Many people won’t recognize the misinformed response as originating from evil and it will cause many people to act recklessly simply through naivety in their behavior. This means that many times evil will get its way and will win personal battles in the world by ruining good people’s lives unfortunately. If we choose to act with violence how will the life we choose to act against future end up also. How different will all our futures become.

We know and can tell something is not right in the human condition when we hurt from life.  What’s been said against us that hurts us does not represent who we “really are” in Gods eyes and we know this intuitively. Such attacks are not true about us really which makes this world seem more then unfair. The hate against us doesn’t fairly represent our inherent worth and we know and feel it knowingly.

Many people fantasize about pursuing courses of violent action too. If this to some degree isn’t true of millions of other people why then the fascination with revenge action in movies and violent video games. If many people out there don’t entertain thoughts of violence why is our society so full of such acting out of violent fantasy on television. These are common reoccurrences of mind with violent thought existing everywhere. Such thinking causes people to fantasize about various kinds of heroic behavior and also to imagine scenarios where they repay an enemy by violence. Prisons across the planet are full of evils victims who have taken violent thought a step too far. Evil keeps making victims in and outside of the institution walls. The problem of evil is a real one and it wants no good for any of us.

Why is evil here? Why is evil misleading so many of us. This force creates chaos, suffering, grief, terror, and fear by confusing and preying on people across history. How much power does evil really have and where did it even come from. The problem of evil is not fully understood by anyone including the greatest philosophers.

I know experientially that there is a very real force of supreme good in this life with God. The Holy Scripture verses below are words of Jesus. These scriptures, and many other Holy scriptures, have helped me to respond to evil when confronting it and facing and dealing with personal pain in my own life. I have honestly not lead a perfect life and I continue to struggle as I go forward from here.

 Please make yourself alert and keep on guard if you can relate at all to this blog and resist violence if you face these struggles I speak of like so many of us do in this world. Remember friends, “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

²¹ Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” ²² Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ ²⁷ And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ ²⁹ So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ ³⁰ He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. ³¹ When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. ³² Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. ³⁵ So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

Mathew 7

7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. ³ And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?⁵ Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:⁸ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?¹⁰ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?¹¹ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?¹² Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.¹³ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:¹⁴ Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.¹⁶ Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.¹⁹ Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.²⁴ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:²⁵ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.²⁶ And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:²⁷ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:²⁹ For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew 6

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.² Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.³ But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:⁴ That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

⁶ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.⁷ But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.⁸ Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.⁹ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.¹⁰ Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.¹² And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:¹⁵ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.¹⁶ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.¹⁷ But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;¹⁸ That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

²² The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.²³ But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?²⁷ Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:²⁹ And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Are we puppets dancing on someones strings

What if the sky above us has eyes watching us. What if we simply don’t notice or recognize that something is watching us now.

 

In this way then we are watched constantly all of the time including every word we speak, every idea we have. Our thinking is being monitored. All of our achievements and advancements in science and technology are continually being learned from. This spying on us by them is possible to achieve because of advancements in alien learning.

 

Why wouldn't we be watched if there really is intelligent life beyond us though. Wouldn’t it be likely that we’d do the same toward an inferior civilization. Why wouldn't other life that’s complex, wise, and potentially highly ethical, feel  cautiousness in approaching us. We haven’t shown that we are level headed in our track record of behavior. From their perspective, very likely, they don’t see us as having enough commonsense to be able to trust us.

 

Genocide on ethnic minorities, lobotomies on the mentally ill, dropping radio active bombs, neglect for people malnourished and starving, environmental destruction,  a history of enslavement of other people,  the many wars, crimes, and variety of ways of oppression, probably would not ease alien anxieties in their mistrust of us.

How could they believe from us that we possess the ability to be trusted enough to come to the table in a universal diplomatic forum of cooperation and knowledge sharing.

 

Can we offer other intelligent beings any consistency in their belief of our calmness or rational.  Do we have a track record of good judgment, predictability, or good behavior across time and location.

 

“Noooooooo we don’t have a good track record so we can’t show them that we do! We can’t show other life elsewhere that we have much commonsense. They know us too well to believe that lie. If they have observed us for a long time now they get what we’re about. They know that we’re mostly a bunch of rotten apples who can’t treat each other fairly most of the time. How could we be expected to treat them and their existence right if we began exchanging knowledge with each other. We’re always at war and a lot of the time we have lost a concern for our shared humanity. 

 

There are lots of arguments against our human goodness. Just to pick one that occurs to me is we’re mistaken in how we treat and understand each other. Take religion as an example. We see many other people’s eternal future with coldness. We come to easily to understandings about other people that abandon any hope they have in God’s plan. We see no hope for them beyond this world. In these common beliefs God can’t be seen as everyone’s God.

 

That is just one example of our divisions, our quickness to sign off on each other, of how divided we are and how easy we abandon our friends for our own interests in this case supposedly our ticket to immortality. We lack a capability to love others adequately. We find ourselves often with no way to know a love that can transcend borders and empathize with humans of other beliefs. We resist in the process loving fearlessly and justifiably with conviction everyone.

 

There are all kinds of arguments to be pointed out that point out that we can’t be trusted too. We are constantly at war for one obvious example. Often, in many examples, we act with great cruelty to each other. So then are we  unsuited, unfit and unable to step up to the table of a type of ecumenical, world wide table, in this case a table belonging to every being in the galaxy or perhaps even every being in the universe.

 

If we are too bad to cooperate perhaps we should see ourselves as the scum and hopeless delinquents of the universe.

 

Hold on now though wait a second! The thing about us humans, in defense of us now, is all of these problems that we know aren’t they problems constantly beyond our control to even stop or control them. Aren’t these problems problems that our imperfect human ability is often unavoidably unable to control in the moment.

 

There are many influences we face that misguide our decision making or overwhelm our capabilities to respond or fix the difficulties. These problems cloud human judgment,  contaminate our negotiations, interfere with the right kind of spread of ideas. With inflamed fanaticism, people divides by territory and political belief, these, and many other factors, disrupt how able we are to harmoniously interact with each other creating the difficult and often unsolvable problems we face.

 

We could criticize ourselves saying we are to blame, how it’s our fault for this, insisting it’s our own complacency that is involved here. Doesn’t however, if we look at our struggles honestly, an unstoppable kind of chaos act in these processes though. The disturbances in human thought leading to chaos, division, conflict commonly complicate human society and makes it more then difficult, often impossible, for us to control the forces in the world around us. These chaotic problems lead to many human difficulties.

 

Is at all always possible for us to understand how these influences really are working. Shouldn’t we recognize the limitations on us for controlling autocrats, nature, ideas, propaganda, moving armies, and many processes of thought producing change. 

 

Our we being effected by an unseen guiding influence. We have been trying to make life so much more inhabitable for human beings. We have struggled to create a peaceful world order, bring people out of poverty, advance civilization, react together to stop war, and end state aggression. The people involved acting politically can be crazed, deeply irrational, and cruelly ambitious.

 

I have a question to posse:

 

Are we unaware of what really could be guiding these people here. Does something else from somewhere else have an overarching influence in controlling or effecting people’s ambitions. Why do our ideas collide with other minds in the world after being egged on by some process of mind in our thoughts. In other words Is there a shit disturber from beyond reaping havoc on human history.

 

As we think about life, about ideas, form personal beliefs we are lead places in our thoughts commonly. Rising up in those thoughts, through our anger commonly, appears a desire to resent others. We find solidarity in our minds vision bringing together ideas of who is like us and shares our interests as we work out in our thoughts finding our allies with people like us and then ruthlessly we turn directing our reoccurring rising anger at an enemy, a scapegoat, our source for directing habitually enjoyed hatred. This drive is commonly directed toward a minority group, another race, a foreign country or another religion.

 

Might something control our minds thinking. Might something somewhere else other then here have an influence on us in these thoughts we generate.

 

The majority of the conflicts people are lead into each generation cause great suffering and this suffering won’t matter strategically in a hundred years from now. From the graveyard if we could look back at these convictions we have embracing racism, conflict and war how much sense will it make to us from there the other side.

 

Are we then puppets on someone else’s diabolical strings then. We keep naively acting against one other across history in our world.  There is a problem here for us to question carefully. We don’t really know where these germinating seeds come from that began growing these seeds (ideas) in men’s ambitions.

 

When speaking of these seeds developing in histories villains where did those particularly cruel visions of history come from. The how and why for it happening is a mystery.

 

Such seeds have grown in men spurring on a vicious, cruel, hate, for whatever reason. These drives, after taking virulent root in certain human imaginations, have meant people killed, wounded and terrorized by the millions. These ideas lead armies and secret police to perpetrate horrendous crimes causing death, destruction, and suffering on a massive scale in our world.

 

So If we want to sit at the table with other beings in the universe maybe reluctantly we must admit to them we’re to blame for ourselves. Maybe we’re not good enough to join the rest of the universe.

 

Or maybe, perhaps, we don’t know who our real enemies are yet. Maybe we should question whether our enemies are other human beings or alternatively perhaps whether our real enemies are someone else, some being,  somewhere else out in the universe.

 

I ask you this where did Adolf Hitler's dark vision come from or Stalin's strange vision for where he lead communism in his infatuation for rounding up the middle classes and even their offspring to be killed by the millions. What compelled these men’s minds driving them toward this level of hate for other human beings.

 

Maybe other beings elsewhere in the universe keep an eye on us humans, it’s possible that they do. Maybe it’s a weary eye too when they watch us. Perhaps they have an alert level that keeps getting more severe in response to our advancements technologically. They might keep watching us to see what progress we’re presently making and how much of an increasing threat we posse to others in the universe. They perhaps will keep watching us until it comes to a point in time that we can't be permitted to progress any further. Then the unthinkable must happen to us.

 

Or perhaps we’re the victims in the universe and a cruel enemy somewhere out there is causing our demented dance through the ages as they, the puppeteers, pull our strings and watch us struggle.
