UNORDERED / CHAOTIC LIFE PRINCIPLES

CREATION ~ ALL KNOWN/SEEN & UNKNOWN/UNSEEN

• God created all things known/visible and unknown/invisible
• God created us all equally [some unequally]

GOD'S & OUR CHILDREN

• Our children are God's children who are entrusted to our care
• Our children pick [in union with God] us to be their parents before they are born
• Our children are here to help us mature in creativity, emotion, faith, hope, humor, joy, love, patience, rationality, and wisdom

RETURNING TO OUR MAKER ~ THE DIVINE

• Among our highest priorities in life is that we are all created to help each other along "our paths home"
• God sent Jesus to help us understand how to return to Him (God)
• Jesus used His disciples to carry out God's plan for Jesus' return home
• From before our birth, God desires our successful return to Him

FAITH AND RELIGION

• Faith and religion are separate
• Faith is what connects us [through the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit] to God

HAPPENINGS

• All events happen on purpose
• The purpose of some life events is unknown
• The purpose of some life events isn't meant to be known
• The most painful/demanding events give birth to the most joyful/meaningful successes

ONENESS ~ COMMUNION

• We have a single conscience, which is God's Presence within each of us
• All of us in communion with Christ become One

THE WAY

• Truth is the best path to follow in all things
• Miracles are candles of faith that the Holy Spirit lights along our path
• Sharing our miracle experiences with others may light candles of faith along the paths of others around us
• The Holy Spirit lives among all of us to help us stay on the right path and make the best choices
• We [His gift of free will] influence the course of God's plan with every thought and breath
• The Apocalypse arrives for many of us every moment

UNDERSTANDING LIFE

• Life is much more simple than we choose to make it
• Life is about "0's" and "1's" (If you don't believe me look around you)
• Most of the important questions are begging [still] to be asked

LOVE

• Under rated to the furthest extreme by some
• A decision, not an emotion
• Jesus demonstrated the ultimate definition decided to save us all [I used to think I understood Christ in his incredible decision to agree to make this sacrifice, but this continues to be one of my current areas of prayer and study]
• Jesus freed us all with the keys to Heaven and hell
• Humans may choose unconditional love every new moment of every day
• Angels get only one chance to choose God for all eternity
• God's and Jesus' messages are about boundless love
• The most fulfilled life belongs to One who is willing to sacrifice theirs to save another
• Christ's mercy is compassionate enough to forgive Judas' sins

BAPTISM

• Baptism comes in 3 colors: 1) Desire; 2) Spirit; and 3) Blood
• The highest honor in baptism by blood

TREATMENT OF OTHERS

• What people do to others speaks loudly about how they feel about themselves
• Integrity is more about what is right for everyone else before consideration of self

JUDGMENT BEFORE OUR MAKER ~ THE DIVINE

• Everything we are, say, or do in all of time will eventually be witnessed by everyone from the beginning of creation
• What is conducted in the dark will be brought into the light
• Nobody can stand in our place when it's time to be judged by God

GOD ~ THE DIVINE

• The essence of God is infinitely greater than all the words in all the books ever written... ever
• If one were to burn me and my bones to dust and scatter me across the globe, God will put me back together again
• Jesus was closer to his own mother than anyone
• I wonder if Mary (Jesus' mother, was in fact God in the effeminate... Truly a Divine birth)

DEALING WITH SATAN

• God and Jesus tricked Satan into believing that once Christ was crucified, He would go to hell for all eternity

PRAYER

• The Holy Spirit can communicate to God on our behalf when we are at a loss for words

DIVINE PROTECTION

• We all have at least one guardian Angel; some of us have more

VOICE OF GOD ~ THE DIVINE

• The Divine speaks to us constantly
• If we allow it, our busy lives deafen us to our callings

To be continued...

Hmm,

Dear Blogger,
Great speaking with you today. I'm not sure what your moniker will be for future comments or blogs, but I'll leave it as "Blogger" for the time being.
I enjoy all of the principles that you have set down here. As far as religion and faith go, I have always questioned and never been a pious member of any of the organized doctrines. What I truly believe is that, no matter what one believes, there is truth in all of it. Every creed has, at its center, a cynosure - being (or set of beings) that make/s up a pantheon of golden ideals/truths/virtues et cetera. There is truth in every one of these. The confusion lies in that each of them teems with human error as well. So, if the intuition/spirit of the individual isn't trained/strong, it is easy to accept all things in any given faith as true, as long as one believes that that is the one and only true path - at which point of thought process, we begin a downward spiral and end up like the camp director (I think her name was Becky) in one of the most frightening movies ever (in my opinion) called Jesus Camp. I would encourage anyone with an open mind to watch and see where the destruction and brain washing of children is done in the country. Personally, I disagree with raising a child without an open mind and without an encouragement to think for him/herself.
There's something I would like to read (in this comment) to you from a great book I recently finished called, You are a Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience, by Bob Frissel. It's about oneness... (ellipsis...)

The attitude of mind that sees the things of the world as divided up into separate entities and then judges these entities as good or bad is called "dualism" or "Polarity Consciousness." When the mind and heart together become aware of the Unity of Being, there is an end to this dualistic vision. What is this vision? What, if anything, is wrong with it? Actually there can be nothing really "wrong" with dualism as such, for to think that there is something wrong with it is in itself entirely dualistic!
Dual-ism means "two-ism": seeing the whole of Being as somehow fundamentally d-vided. ... It is the most natural thing in the world for a three-dimensional mind to create dichotomies, divisions, dualities. We see things in terms of left and right, up and down, hot and cold, big and small, more and less. ...
The kind of dualism that I am most concerned with and that quite disappears as soon as one catches a glimpse of the truth of the Unity of Being, is the dualism between good and evil: the view of reality as divided not only or most importantly between different kinds of stuff, but as a great, polarized, cosmic struggle between ultimately opposed forces or tendencies, or between two great beings: God and Satan or Lucifer. This to is a natural tendency of third-dimensional mind: to divide everything we see or know, everything we feel everything we think, as tending toward the good or tending toward the evil. We distinguish that which is good for us as opposed to bad for us, but first of all because we distinguish us! We separate our kind of being from everything that is not us.
Once we have separated Americans or Christians, or white people or black people, or men, or women, or any group whatsoever as being "our group" as opposed to all the rest of the human family, want want to support the survival of our group, and we don't care that much about the rest. We divide humanity into "us" and "them," or "me" and "not me." We think that our survival, or prosperity, our success is "good," and anything that opposes it or resists it, is "evil." First I divide myself from the rest of humanity. If I expand my view, perhaps I identify myself with my family. Now there is my family versus all the other families. If I expand my view a little further, the "good guys" are the clan or nationality to which my family belongs or the corporation for which I work or the religion that I was brought up in. Now I am in competition with other clans or companies, or potentially at war with other nations. And as for religion, certainly my religion must be uniquely in possession of the true and the good, and the other religions the false and the evil. - You Are.. - Frissel, pp. 57 - 59

I agree, Blogger, that we as human beings should respect one another and each of us is to respect the credo of each of those around him/her. Though our religions/faith-based beliefs may differ, we can both see the common ground of the truth around us in many ways - love, for example. Kindness is another nexus of truth between our souls/spirits/beings.
Last night, while I was reading a book I recently bought by a Yogi named Swami Kriyananda (book is called Meditation for Beginners), I was introduced again to a quotation by the late Mahatma Ghandi that went as follows, "Be the change that you want to see in the world." How profound, simple and warmly instructive. As one would call it God, another would call it Allah, and yet another would call it Zeus, Shiva, Ra, Odin or any number of the list of deities that our kind has presented us with. Whatever it may be, at least one grain of sand must be common on each of their respective beaches of doctrine or truth.

Great Blog - thank you for this opportunity to speak.

"If"

by Rudyard Kipling (1910)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!



-Great chat today. Happy Thanksgiving. namaste
