Here I sit in a taxi in Beijing
China. A week ago I did not even know how to spell Beijing. It is
amazing how life works. Five years ago I was destined to be another
one of life's sheep and go about my life where it should lead. We
are always somewhat forced by life's changes to follow certain directions.
Some people make decisions but the wrong ones and then others like
me until five years ago just follow the path blindly. As it is now
with a lot of luck and divine guidance I feel happy with my life's
direction. Not everything is perfect but I am happy with myself
and where I am. The problem I have now is that I am bored I have
got everything I thought I wanted and a little confused. For me
right now the only way to improve myself is in my spiritual life.
I realize that we have only one life but sometimes we forget that
it is really spiritual. We as humans think we are human. My definition
of human is an animal. A animal with high intellect but never less
an animal. Our real life and our self are locked away inside of
this body to mature like inside of a cocoon. If we are to mature
we must do so in this life form. But eventually we will have to
move on to a better life. I feel that my thought on life's secrets
come directly from Gods guidance. I believe in one Supreme Being
and constantly pray to him. I feel that without his guidance I would
not be where I am today. I read one time are some one told me I
am not sure but I remember that King Solomon was thought of as the
wisest king that ever lived. This has made a lasting impact on my
philosophy toward life. What I understand is that he asked God for
wisdom and was granted his request. I feel God is not a part of
this world but only coexists with it. Most people are always asking
God to bless them with riches and wonders of this world but for
God this has no meaning. He sees us as spirits and not as the humans
we see ourselves. In order that we might improve we must come to
understand ourselves before we can truly understand Gods judgments
against mankind. I feel I know myself better than most people but
not because I am better than anyone else but only because of the
way I have sought to understand myself. I still feel I have a lot
to learn about myself before I can even begin to understand the
universe that our lord in heaven has placed us. I understand that
in order to do this I must listen to the teachings of the great
teachers of the Bible. But I want to make it clear that I don't
trust completely in the teachings of the Bible. The Bible was written
by men. I credit most of the men involved with being divinely guided
but I also know God does not take a mans hand in his own and say
this is what you must write. The other problem is that the King
James version that I read has been translated by possibly a thousand
different scholars with there own ideas of the meaning of words
written in a different language two thousand years ago. This is
my reasoning for saying this. I see so many different religions
that have sprung from the Bible and I realize I must use caution
in the way I interpret anything that comes from there.
When I was a child
I sometimes imagined that I was not of this world. Through time
I have prayed to God for wisdom and understanding. I want to know
the secrets of the universe. I want to know why I was created. What
I want to do here is to put in writing some of the answers that
God has given me before I forget them and really I want to tell
the world what I feel is Gods wishes for mankind. I don't know how
to explain it but when I hear God talk to me it is not through words
but it is a feeling that comes from deep within myself. When he
truly speaks to me I feel cold chills across my entire body and
at that I feel as if I could fly.
I have came to understand
myself as a spirit. My real self is hidden within this shell we
call life. My spirit right now craves to grow beyond this shell.
It is the real me. My questions for God right now are how can I
continue to grow. "You must pray and seek your true feelings,
the will of God." I love God, the one true God of heaven, the
Beginning and the End, Alpha and Omega. Right now I feel at peace
with Gods will and my inner self. This is necessary if we are to
mature as spiritual beings. God said he created Adam and Eve in
his image.
This was the last
thought I had a week ago. I have been praying for a word from God
for the entire week but I have not felt the presence. When ever
the feeling leaves me it feel like I am alone. Today I received
a message or rather it was more like conversing with God. As I was
walking about the city of Shanghai, China. I realized how small
our little world is. As I looked into the faces of the people walking
beside me in the street it came to me that most of them were all
blind. They do not see God. They could not feel God. And last of
all they could not talk with God. They are only thinking of ways
to survive here in this world. As I looked around it came to me
that we think we are intelligent and that we are civilized. If we
humans were half as intelligent as we think we are we could see
what we are doing to our small little world and maybe we could save
ourselves. The pollution, the ugliness, and all because of greed
of money, wealth, power, and a hunger to better only one person.
Too many people are thinking how can I survive are how can I be
better than the last person. Is this what we call success? When
we can build an empire are when we can store up riches here in this
world. What we are forgetting is that our souls must grow but to
do that we must seek to grow. When we seek to live in this world
our soul withers but does not die. God has given us an eternal life
with our inner being the real self of each and everyone of us. This
is the part of each and everyone I feel is what God meant when he
said that he created man in his image. One of the lessons I have
learned from the bible is that whatever we truly believe is possible.
As much faith as a mustard seed can move mountains are win wars.
It reminds me of a few of the miracles of Jesus, when he walked
on water, when he calmed the stormy seas, when he raised Lazereath
from the dead, when he fed the multitudes, and one of the greatest
events of all times, when he himself returned to life to ascend
into heaven. I don't think God gave his son any special sort of
body to perform these miracles. His power came from within. It was
his faith in his father and now our father in heaven that allowed
him this special power. He realized that he was the son of God.
Even in this shell of humanity he realized there was more. The problem
with most of us, myself included we are thinking of survival here
on Earth and not of our true selves. This belief is necessary if
we are to mature. God does not expect us to give up living because
if he did he would not have put us here in the first place. I feel
this is trial that we must pass. Not everyone is going to be able
to live with God. I feel that those of us that truly seek the ways
of this Earth will not be able to leave. Not because of some great
curse God has put on us but only because this is the only thing
we really and truly believe exists and our spirit being believes
what we learn in our life times. I hear of people dying every day
and I realize I can not live forever. We must come to understand
this and to begin seeking a way to leave the Earth in our spiritual
lives while we are still living in this shell. It would not be such
a problem except that this physical world is always changing. Our
precious little world is in the middle of the biggest mess you could
imagine. The physical universe that our scientists know about points
to the fact that it could be only a matter of time before this world
is destroyed if not by ourselves mankind it could be any number
of ways. A meteor like the one a few years ago that hit the planet
Jupiter would completely destroy the Earth. I feel that some day
this will happen. I base my belief on the visions of John on the
island of Patmos. Here he saw stars falling from the heavens. I
don't understand all of his vision but this I am sure is a sign
of some terrible problems in the future we can not imagine. This
beautiful little world could become hell. Because our souls can
not die and if we truly come to believe this physical being is how
things really are we are doomed to walk this terrible future for
eternity.
I am not afraid of
Satan. He crawls the earth as he was cursed by God to do. I believe
he has hoards of evil spirits to assist him in his devilish tasks.
I don't fear him so much as I do myself. It is my fear that my faith
is not strong enough to do battle with a spirit creature that has
lived for so many eons. I must hope that God can continue to protect
me. I am sure that if for one second God allowed I would be finished.
These words I am putting down right now endangers me in two ways.
One is that by writing what I believe I am strengthening my beliefs,
also from the fact that if anyone else reads this maybe it can help
save a few more souls to live with God. Satan is cursed but like
people say misery loves company. He does not want to see God succeed
in saving any part of man that was created. It was because of man
that Satan is cursed to walk here on this world. When he betrayed
God in the garden of Eden to lead Adam and Eve away from Gods path
and revolt against God. This has created a war beyond imagination.
It is war of principalities. A war beyond the natural order of things
we come to understand. It is a war never the less.
