Don’t let them think

About anything substantial

For that’s how they learn

And when they acquire knowledge

The less they will need you

So keep them simple minded,

Open to your influence

That is how you stay in power

God, that is how you prosper

Question for believers (#2):

What happened to all those unfortunate souls that lived before Jesus?

Question Everything

When you are good, honest, sincere and positive, you are rewarded in abundance. When you trust yourself and always do the next right thing, more good just keeps flooding in. When you can really, truthfully, and honestly look yourself in the mirror and know you are living a real and authentic life, you will thrive. The energy you put out in to the universe determines EVERYTHING.

It is most definitely not determined by how much you pray, or how much you tithe, or how often you go to church, or read a bible. I am not condemn those things, as they are great survival tools for some. I’m simply stating that the real determining factor on how happy you are or how comfortably you live is found right inside yourself. The only person who can make you happy is you, yourself, no one else.

The great thing about happiness is, it can be found ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE you are, if you just pay attention to the details. Listen to your gut, your intuition. That is where you can really find your truth.

Why should we continue to lie to ourselves, telling ourselves everything is OK as it is, even though, deep down, we know it isn’t? Be it at a dead end job, or in a relationship, or your, still hidden from the world, sexuality. Or maybe you still don’t know what you want to do with your life, or who you want to be. You could go to God for guidance. But then wouldn’t you just be looking outside of yourself for something that can only be found within?

Maybe what we think is best for us, really isn’t. Maybe what we’ve been told by our parents that we should be doing with our lives, wasn’t really where our talent or passion was, and now we know we’ve wasted tons of time and potential. Maybe, just maybe, we are fearful, and we don’t think we could handle the failure, so we just decide to sit, complacent, never changing or reaching our full potential.

It seems like to me that life is just too short for all of that. Too short to be living lies, or living a life that makes you unhappy, or working a job you hate, or being with someone who only brings you down. Or dare I say, worshipping a god you have no proof of exists. Paying money to churches, who pay no taxes, who mostly just use the money to make bigger churches, with bigger speakers, and more seats to fill with more people to give them money. Just to tell them stories, written by people, who may, or may not, have been on drugs, when they wrote them. Who probably only wrote them to inflict fear inside the people to keep them fearful and controllable.

There has been life LONG before the bible. Hasn’t science proved that? Science. Something that can show actual proof and evidence that evolution is real.

What’s so wrong about asking these questions? Why is it the two most important subjects are off limits?

We are not a generation of people who will just comply. Who will just believe what we are told. We are the most knowledgable generation that has ever existed. Science, technology, all if it IS evolution. We have more power and more potential than we will ever know. And the reason we won’t is because we have been beat down by a society who doesn’t give a shit about us. We’ve been filling our bodies with poisons that don’t nourish us or give our brains the proper nutrients we need to be cognitive and aware. We are too wrapped up in our video games, or our sportsball, or are alcohol or drugs to really be paying attention. Life wasn’t meant to be lived in a fog, boggled down by worrying about what celebrities are wearing. Or how we can have the next best cell phone or purse.

They say the poorest villages around the world have the happiest people. I say, that is probably because they have more of a sense of community and they are living authentically and can see that the real beauty in life lies in the people who surround us, not in the things that we have.

So where does this ancient God fit into this new world of people being raised to think for themselves? And who have the necessary tools to do it. Who think to question authority. Or to have independence. To be great and to do great. To be fearless. To literally have the world at our fingers is the most incredible thing. A powerful thing. It’s also a good way to disprove religion.
