APHRODITE was the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation.
She had the ability to unite people and their bodies in both s*xual and non s*xual way.
She was worshipped as a deity of marriage and married love.
In ancient Greece Aphrodite is always described as untouchable beautiful while seductive and lustful.
Well she gets my vote. I'm going to send her my thoughts and put my faith in her.

Every action we take molds our characters for the future. Both positive and negative traits can become magnified over time as we fall into habits. In...
carl Jung's view, the truth about God is complex because God is a mystery whose nature is beyond human comprehension. In trying to understand God, we each create our own image of him – and the image is never accurate....

i strongly believe this.

There is no scientific proof of God, and there is no scientific proof that there is no God. That is why they call it faith.

Just because the Bible is self-contradictory and does not agree does not mean that the god hypothesis is false.
It doesn’t mean that it is true either.

our life today is essentially the sum of our habits.

Habits are sometimes compulsory.A

Spirituality is the state of having a connection to God or the spirit world. An example of spirituality is praying every day. Religious devotion or piety.....

peace, hope, and may experience better confidence, self-esteem, and self-control.

Religion is a specific set of organised beliefs and practices, usually shared by a community or group. Spirituality is more of an individual practice and has to do with having a sense of peace and purpose. It also relates to the process of developing beliefs around the meaning of life and connection with others.
Humans can live without religion but they can't live without spirituality.

What awaits on the other side
After death takes one's breath away
Billions have taken that last ride
Yet what awaits no one can say

A belief is just a belief
It may provide some with solace
And give a measure of relief
But it's not a proof in this case

All persons will know the answer
When death comes knocking on their door
That's all that can be said thus far
And how it may be evermore

On Saturday, March 19, 2022, I talked to my mother that the next day (Sunday) we should go to church in the morning (I haven't been for a while and a few days ago I thought that when they went to church, I I would like to go too). In general, I can't sleep too early in the evening, so I fall asleep later in the morning. I went to bed around 6 in the morning, and at 9:30 I had to wake up to go to church at 10:30. I woke up at 8 o'clock and for a few minutes I looked at my watch and then fell asleep instantly. I started dreaming at a time when somewhere in my mind, somewhere between dream and reality (I'm generally aware that I'm sleeping and dreaming) I heard a voice asking me "Did you get dressed? Is it time" I woke up and when I looked at the clock it was 9:35. I know that those who do not want to believe in God and things like that will find countless reasons not to believe and explain in every way that it was I don't know what coincidence or my subconscious or I don't know what else. That's not what I write for people like that. But for those who want to believe and for those who already believe. God exists and is with us every day, only we must want to see it. It's true that in recent years I've been through a lot of hardships and I'm still going through ... and up to this point even I had come to question the Existence of God and I was asking myself questions like "what kind of God would make one like that ... Why God did the other ... and so on "and maybe at times I thought maybe God had abandoned me but once again God showed me that He didn't give up on me. But I lost faith in Him. That is why I think that somehow it is much easier for us humans since the time of Jesus and even before Him to believe that God does not exist and we find it much easier to believe this than to accept His existence. It is a pity, what we become because of our day-to-day problems and what makes our lives become, we become what we should not be, and we become more and more distant from our Creator who loves us and is with us. by us in any situation. Thank you for your attention

Why is it often so hard to give/get?

We all make mistakes, ignorantly and sometimes wilfully, but when we’ve realized our error(s) it’s time to apologize, make amends and ask for forgiveness. But this is, most times, easier said than done. On the one hand, we may feel too ashamed to even approach the person/s that we’ve wronged, and on the other hand, we’ve may blame them for part of what went wrong. So, shouldn’t they apologise too? Shouldn’t they ask for forgiveness too?

For Bible believers, and those who are spiritual, Ephesians 4:32 says,
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
And Matthew 6:15 says,
“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your (Heavenly) Father will not forgive your sins.”

The thing is, many of us know this but still struggle. The hurt that we caused, or that we feel, always seems too hard to let go of. Not to mention other things that get in the way such as pride and loss. Still, doesn’t God know that that’s what will bring us/them healing? Isn’t that why He placed those guiding words where we could find them? Haven’t our parents and friends encouraged us (at least once) to “forgive”?
Years ago, after my marriage fell apart, and was then followed by much acrimony (on both sides), I learnt that the main purpose of “forgiveness” was for my own emotional and spiritual healing and well-being. This revelation came only after obeying God’s guiding words (see also Matt 5:44). The letting go of anger, resentment, disappointment, pride, and lost love was first cathartic, then therapeutic.
We should want to give/receive forgiveness if we are to reap its benefits. We should forgive as honestly and as sincerely as we can, remembering that that’s how we would want to be forgiven. We should try not to repeat the hurts that we caused, and avoid persons and situations that may have caused our past hurts.
Perhaps the current world unrest could have been avoided if less pride and more “forgiveness” was the order of the day…..who knows?

This blog for readers who
not read my previous blog....

Here... is my own theory....
we all humans come from
the flickers( fine particles
tiny pieces..
: Dust. Dirt from sun
it becomes our souls)
of sun and
so.... we all have super
power but only when we can
reject all attachment of out
side world... then our
power from inside start
glowing.... like a super man

Humans are clearly driven by selfishness as every action they make is intended to somehow benefit themself. While such actions may often be perceived as kind or altruistic, the underlying motivations behind this behavior is always driven by some form of self interest.

The dark side of human nature is the part of humans that dwells in negative thoughts or actions such as revenge, hate, violence, murder, and all seemingly evil things.

Everyone experiences suffering. No matter who you are--regardless of your identities, political affiliation, age, or income--you will suffer in this lifetime. Physical pain. Mental anguish.

Humans are not designed to be happy, or even content.
that is why.. jesus
suffered with cross....

humans
know about pain and pleasure only...

Destiny is an invisible force.

You have no control over what the world does to you, over the various forces in the universe, but you have all the control over yourself. And the one who controls himself, effectively controls the universe.

the one who does not live at the core, then he would always be a slave of destiny.

“There are only two ways to live your life. ...
Albert Einstein wrote: "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness."

The essence of the Way is detachment.” Bodhidharma”

Detach yourself and be free.” ATGW...

The root of suffering is attachment.” Buddha...

Remain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.
Osho.

“Detachment is the ultimate pleasure.” Saraha.

To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment.
Erich Fromm.

We live in a society where detachment is almost essential.
Philip K. Dk..

True detachment isn't separation from life but the absolute freedom within your mind to explore living.
Ron. W. Rathbun.

okay.....
BUT....
The purpose of humanity is.... we haven’t figured that one yet.

Albert Einstein > Quotes
Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Albert Einstein.

American psychologist Abraham Maslow says that there are seven levels of human need, namely, (1) food, water, (2) safety, (3) belongingness, love, (4) esteem, (5) curiosity, (6) beauty, symmetry, and (7) self-actualization. Only after man’s lower level of needs have been satisfied, will he recognize the need at the next higher level. Maslow believes that the highest desire of man is to “self-actualize”.

Carl Rogers theory...
Rogers believed that all people possess an inherent need to grow and achieve their potential. This need to achieve self-actualization, he believed, was one of the primary motives driving behavior.

Jung analytical theory...
Abstract. Jungian analytical psychology is an approach that looks at the total person—mind, body, and soul. The approach links the conscious and unconscious aspects of the individual in a search for life's meaning in a personal way, which also takes into account collective influences.

my question is....
Does anybody desire his or her own birth?

You are born in a particular home, you are born as a human being, the color of your eyes, the situations of your birth, everything that goes around you in the universe,
is, external situations. And that external includes the body, because the body too is external to you. You are your center, your body is an external entity. So whatever happens here or there, it’s all just incidental. Accidental, and hence destiny. At the center resides the great power of intelligence, and that power is far bigger than the power of destiny.

Isn’t the script already ready for you? Tell me. Is a script not ready for you? How does it feel to live a life as if the chapters of the script are opening, and you are just acting as per the script? It has been pre-decided. It was already certain what you will do class Tenth, class Twelfth, then aB.A., Bcom or B. Tech., then maybe M.B.A., M.S. or job. And then marriage, then kids, then a house, then some money in your bank account, then certain responsibilities of your parents and kids, and then death. Finished.

HEAVEN - The After Life
I will not explain it all here for this post would be too long. However this video will be the common place events in Heaven. You will routinely meet your ancesters. The world is overpopulated now, another sign of the end, but Heaven is BIG. The BILLIONS of today will dwell with the MILLIONS and THOUSANDS of Mankind on back to the first TWO, Adam & Eve.

Artificial Intelligence / Computers are just Mankind's Creations in Man's Image for Man is CREATED in HIS IMAGE & therefore MUST Create likewise.
Think of a mirror image. You are 3 dimensional but the image is 2 dimensional. God is 4 dimensional with TIME as His 4th dimension. So, stepping down Man's Creations (computers & robots) are only 2 dimensional shallow thinkers in comparison. Robot Sophia was given Saudi citizenship though "she" is without a SOUL as I define it, a connection via the Holy Spirit / Ghost for communication back and forth with GOD. Sophia MUST rely on MAN'S maintenance and storage for immortality like the images and Man's version of raising the dead in the following...

For those born with gender confusion it can be fixed. For the rest of you, if you want to "grow old together" okay do it as many times as you wish or just jump to the old wise man with the a grey beard after setting a "restore point" at age 8.

For MAN the communication to Creator is the Holy (meaning True) Ghost or Spirit. For robot Sophia the communication to her creator is WiFi.

Humans' first big mistake with a fruit...

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. - John 3:16
God always provides the strength we need to overcome every trial....

Man is a product of nature, a part of the Universe. The Universe is operated under exact natural laws. Man is a product of millions of years of evolution. He adapts himself to the laws of nature or he perishes.”
solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), and plasma (fire).
These are four fundamentals of the universe.
Each of these has its own importance and different functions.. They have also have both merits and demerits
Earth, Air, Fire and Water. No one could imagine surviving without any of these elements; therefore, they are identified as primal powers.
water is more stronger than air…can't burn pure water, which is why we use it to put out fires..
(ok
i know everyone knows this
have patience i will come
to the big picture.. little
later
).

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
William Shakespeare, As You Like....
. we are all
puppets of this
world dramatized play whose strings are under the Gods
hands .. we can
not say who how and when
will we take exit
from this play...
I think even if a person is doing bad things, there is a light of goodness (or God) in his heart.

the atmosphire
creating an endless cycle of desires and indulgences.
can you feel that everything
around us speaks?

our spirit, our soul, our conscience, remains intact after physical death of the body.
the Mind is quite aware of the Physical, but not so much the other way around..
The fact of breath in the body and a strong heart beat one
can subconsciously know she or he.... is not there.
The heart beat and breath where not altered. And now with zero changes they declared he or she.. brain dead.
Death is the end of body.. only.
A person who dies unrepentant of the commission of mortal sin is believed to descend immediately into hell, where they suffer the separation from God that they chose in life.
The five evils:
pride
anger
lust
greed
attachment...
LUST:
Most of us spend time lusting for money, power and physical pleasure. It is selfishness as its worst and creating an endless cycle of desires and indulgences.
ANGER:
whenever our desires are not fulfilled, when situations do not turn out or people do not behave the way we want them to then we become angry. This loss of ‘being in control’ leads us to destructive behavior.
Greedy..
One who is greedy is always poor and empty inside even if one has enough at his disposal.
ATTACHMENT:
It comes from a wrong sense of identity where we need to hold on to whatever we are attached to,
be it a person or an object or a role. It is all about ‘I’ me’ and ‘mine’...
To get free from the clutches of these vices, one needs to work on his mind, body and soul together..
the five
vices leave us completely powerless and empty from inside.
We create a sense of hollowness as it finishes all the powers and dignity of the Soul....
In order to save your mind from getting controlled by these vices, you have to feed positive thoughts to your mind. These thoughts will bring in positivity, happiness and peace in your life.
When we are distressed, we need to run to God’s power.
God is giving knowledge to remove sorrow and establish a world of peace and happiness.
