“If in the times I barely knew him, my interest for understanding the world I live in was somehow reserved, - this has been changed, gradually learning about what’s beyond comprehension. He had so much, to give to this world, and I wasn’t the first, nor the last, to take everything he offered. One word, to define knowledge, has the dictionary; but him, oh! He could just write a new one!
I saluted the man, waving my hand, like a child who raise a new kite into the wind, for joy filled my heart even before coming closer; was the same feeling of relief, which someone gets it when about to reach the company of a friend, a much wiser one, who seems to make all troubles disappear with a smile. So funny! When I told him my problems, years ago, he did not said anything, too much; so I insisted, returning to the subject of matter which bothered me; with calm, he asked me to take stones from the ground, - different stones in size or color, despite my asking: why? – but once I gave him all the pebbles, curious of what about them, I started laughing, when he was calling them by names and throwing one by one, far away; he named them upon my problem, and .. how to not laugh, and sudden, everything to be forgotten?! All my troubles, vanishing away!.. So was enough for me to see him from afar, and the smile to slowly conquer my heart, making itself present. What a feeling, indeed! The feeling of a true friend, who does not ask anything else, than be myself! A true friend, who is there each time one needs it. A true friend, who knows to listen. And he’s right there, under the walnut. Resting, like a sage of a different age. ..”

“I still remember this man. I knew him long ago, from time to time my life intersecting with his. The passing of time, merely if changed something; he looks the same, for the many who knew him, - still carries the same eyes full of life, despite underneath the amber traces, there is much suffering hidden; his body, athletic as in his 20’s, kept in shape well for his efforts of taking up various jobs to maintain his living, serious and hard working man; I remember his smile, even to the toughest jobs, keeping on and on saying he’s on training, - such an amusement, even to myself, to hear him when about to dig with the shovel, to say about himself that he is resting and made a deal with an ogre who came right on time, to help him digging, while when a harder effort, to laugh saying: I left the ogre go away for all were too heavy for it, so, by now, here’s King Kong, to deal with the new issue, he could take it!.. What a funny man, indeed! Was such a companion, in everything, as those who came closer to him, to remember a true friend! For the rest of the world, who never knew him enough, he was just a fool lost into the crowd, or just a madman inspiring haughtiness or disdain; while for some, a tyrant to be feared, if not a lost cause indicating one never dealing with. But I still remember him saying, loudly, without any fear of repercussions: “In a world run by idiots in the spirit of lawlessness, smart people must die little by little, so that their stupidity may thrive!” As a matter of fact, despite his incisive manner of telling the truth, I respect him, for daring to oppose, in its own particular way, to the flow of the world; that’s for because the crowds always treasured their tyrants, and the world, of course, was always bent by the will of the few to rule them in what seemed to be a never-ending slavery. I could support him, if was up to me, - but not. Therefore, I am much inclined, with a respectful shake of hand, so like a comrade on the battlefield, for I know parts of its life – his struggles – like no one could. While most were only satisfied to judge him for blessing their tyrants, or to just despise, if not even hate the ways he is, or acts, - I only knew his heart. The heart that shows Humanity. Others like him, might have been lost already across time, into the darkness and evil, with their hearts turned into stone and become just ruthless advocates of lawlessness. Yet, he struggled to not fall into such side, even with the price of being left alone. Indeed, as one who knew a little more than others, about him, I could distinguish his fight. Not for survival. When you are like a dead, into the world, only then, you start truly to have a glimpse on what’s Reality. In rest, illusions. Illusions. Theatre for the crowds…”

“It took me two good years of my life to realize that all I’ve done was to go on in circles, returning finally to the same place I’ve left. Two years lost chasing ideals of the world. Ideals of a common man who wants to live its life as sees fit, but in accordance with the ways of a world in which gradually, since childhood times, saw no place into, not fitting anywhere, despite its efforts or tries to align to the crowd. Two years of sinking, - voluntarily – into the well-known illusions which he could recognize always since its 20’s, the same illusions which suck the life out of one’s eyes, same illusions which drain the soul, leaving an empty heart of love replacing it with misery, grief and despair. What was the reason, for all these?! – he seems to ask, in vain, and the wind carry its grieving whispers, wherever it goes. Was it worth it?! – Silence. Nothing but silence. There is nobody, to give him an answer. Not a pleasant answer to the ears. But a straight, correct answer, to a vital question. Not like regular questions which indulge the minds of the crowds. But the question which could cut a heart in tiny, tiny pieces and turn it into sand. That is a trial of Vanity. For everything into the world, is nothing else but Vainglouriousness…
I see this man resting under his majestic tree. A walnut tree, which seems fit for him. Seems fit, for the iodine and juglone, tannins and other compound, which indicates poisoning. Such a majestic tree! In all its might, alleopatic for the scientists banging their heads against a wall searching for an answer, but such a delight for the common peasant asking the tree what would like to grow underneath. Large leaves, to behold the sunlight, preserving such an amount of energy filling its marvelous crown, giving back the needy shadow in return, to a restless soul, finding a shelter!.. And what a resemblance, indeed! This tree, from all this bitterness encompassing its structure, gives back the sweet fruit of lore! I saw this man asking the tree: when it’s the right time to harvest? The tree, bent its branches to the ground, with the same answer: when I allow you…”

“I know the feeling of being alive. Divisions of glimpses within what is Reality. I have known what means to be dead whilst alive, or to have the impression of living whilst actually dying. I have been acquainted with the feeling of illness in a world in which there is no cure, except Reality. But to embrace such a Reality which surpasses human knowledge, - what price, must be paid, really?! With what price, comes such an insight, so deep that you could not even find whom to share it with, or… if there would be someone, to make an equation like one in a billion?! To what range and to what extent, the radius of circle, could expand, in further developing a spherical ensemble?! So alike, when you reach to a point in which understanding must be acquired in order to survive, but so cruel, so harsh, to realize, finally, that a dot – a simple dot, in time and space, becomes pointless if no meaning, if no reason, for its origin. For either the world is too big enough, either, it becomes smaller and smaller. Like the common saying with “nobody knows the truth because the truth is that nobody knows what truth really is” – but that is merely, an illusion of knowing, for this is particularity of how one perceives the notions. Within all these, Reality was, is and will be the same. One can not deny what’s obvious, without to live with the consequences of its own denial, and so forth, one can see, hear or feel whatever finds suitable, to its own benefit, without being concerned with what’s really going on far of its comfort zone, although will come the time to face everything when less expected, or just dealing with the facts at the right moment of time, in comprehension of Reality and its own role…
The world looks different, in times of being alive. I’m asking myself: does really the parameters of life change the way one feels?! That’s because… there are, at some point, special circumstances, in which one, aware or not, finds it way back. Or, were my personal impressions?!.. No, that can’t be right. I can distinguish, within illusions, from time to time. The little I may know, but that’s enough. I ask, finally: what difference is found in one eye looking to the world, in one ear hearing in what consists the world, in one’s heart in order to perceive within the world?..”

“I have my own sins, for which I pay a heavy price. However, with the little of humanity that’s left inside me, I still walk forward on this path of life. My trials, awaits me, with each step moving further. From everything, I’m learning. I am.. indeed, a student of life…
It came the day when I decided to write again, after a long break of about two years. There were times when to ask myself what was the purpose of all I’ve done, along time, through art, oscillating between this ruthless world in which I was born, and the beauteousness of the clouds above, always reminding me of something beyond. Were times in which to see the nothingness of this world, all what is Vanity, truly, a glimpse of it, to have seen it. It is beyond my comprehension, what is really happening, and even my faith, oscillates, being inclined to just go with the flow, to a neverending road to nowhere.. or, better said, to loose myself into a world in which everything what is holy be forgotten, everything what adheres to a belief, to be just a fairytale or a reason of mockery, or.. to just take the same paths on which the entire world seen as a whole walks on – even if that means to go straight to the same cliff, blind folded, deaf and with no humanity left, and just make the step over the cliff; but that would not be easy, as inside me there is always a fight, as watching beyond all these, to have distinguished just my weaknesses, or inability to deal with the fact that truth is Truth – relevant to a cause, while an imagined truth or altered perception is just something particular, upon the orientation of a person in what this world has to offer, or upon what he or she had acquired, along its path, through experiences, or any other factors which intervene, modifying the parameters of its life.
I should leave all these behind. It is time to wake up again, and live, anchored in Reality. It is indeed, something beyond all these. I do not wish to deny what’s obvious: I am alive.

The supernatural V's judgement day...
Would I be right in saying a Christian can't believe in both?
in my books it has to be one or the other, likeso with Reincarnation, Christians don't or shouldn't
One soul, that's it... simple as, end of.
If you are not a believer of either, no need for you to reply ...
just genuine replies only especially from those who believe in both.
Because I'm such a strong believer in the supernatural, as a Christian I have to say I do not believe in this judgment day we have all been told about
Boy am I glad, Mr Worthy is not around

The Parable of the Potter and the Clay:
One day, a potter went and took a handful of clay to shape it. However, as the potter lifted the clay, it cried and screamed as loudly as it could, not wanting to be separated from its family, its brothers, and its sisters. The potter, however, did not pay it any mind and took it to the room where he worked. He placed it on a table and began to wet it with water. Then the clay started to cry again, "Do not wet me anymore, can't you see that you're making me soggy? Stop, please!" Once again, the potter ignored it and started to knead it. The clay cried and pleaded, "It hurts, you're hurting me, stop!"
The potter then put the clay on a wheel and began to spin it and shape it. Again, the clay cried out as loudly as it could, "Please finish, I'm starting to get dizzy and it hurts. Stop shaping me, please, let me be!" Our character kept on spinning and shaping it. After a while, the potter paused for a few moments. But just when the piece of clay thought everything was done, the potter placed it into a heated oven. The piece of clay began to scream as loudly as it could, "Take me out, it's burning, I can't bear this heat anymore! It's too much. Let me out, please! I want to go back to my family. I promise I'll behave."
After some time, the potter took it out of the oven and let it cool down. Then, he began to sprinkle it with a colored and fragrant substance. Once again, the clay started to cry out, "What are you doing? Leave me, I don't want this, I don't like this smell. You're making me dirty." Some time later, the potter placed the piece of clay on a shelf next to a mirror. When it looked into the mirror, the piece of clay had now transformed into a beautifully shaped vase, adorned with well-defined stripes and various colors.

Believing in the text of old books?
Religions are created to give uneducated people an explanation for the questions they should not ask themselves.
It is a matter of knowledge and clear thinking.
They ( the religious leaders) just tell us the parts they want people to know and repeat them endlessly, that is the basic of a brainwash, right.
What about all the other , contradictional parts that are never talked about, what about the missing books in the present bible?
What about the contradictional texts, the lack of historical facts, the misinterpretation of geology.
The lack of hard facts.
The way the books are written makes every text open for a various interpretation.
What makes it even more confusing.
The books are composed of various stories and texts, and re-re-re-written thousants of times in the last 1500 years.
There is no verification of any text, possible.
and you can imagine, how many times the texts are adapted and changed, because of the personal opinions of somebody.
People, question all they have been teaching/brainwashed you with.
Be critical, the texts were written in a time with a very very limited knowledge about all things.
The criminal part is, that the pollute children's minds with things they cannot verify or prove themselves.. And create a narrow minded generation.....
It that what we want?

Put God First
If you have a woman or a son or daughter you can not put them above God. If you do you are guilty of idolatry. In our society it is noble to be a selfless man who does everything for his loved ones and puts himself second. Take a step back and think about what is correct. God must be put first. If you are doing something that shows you do not trust God or that you approve of someone who is going against God you are headed for possible damnation. Look at what happened to Job. If everything and everyone is taken away from you what will you have left? Answer your relationship with God. If you put people or things above God you are not worthy of the kingdom of heaven It seems many are afraid of suffering. It is better to be faithful to God and suffer than to be a self pitying victim.! With Jesus you can get through anything and have a peace which transcends all understanding !

A good Christian...
I avoid topics of religion, but current blog about UFO and religious groups had me thinking. Also, a comment to my recent blog mentioned Christians, so I thought I'd "ask around" if any people knew a lot about Christianity and what Christians do... or for that matter, what Christians don't do.
I'm working on a list, in case I come across a Christian or someone who has studied Christianity and can offer advice.
Smoking, is it Christian to smoke? What about gambling? Is it Christian to gamble?
Illegal drugs... is it Christian to take illegal drugs or to buy or sell them?
Is it okay for Christian man to rape a woman? Is it okay for a Christian man to use prostitutes? Do good Christians partake in 3-somes, kinkysex or torture?
Do Christians steal from others?
Are Catholics, Baptists, Protestants all Christians or do they differ?
Can gays, lesbians, transgenders be Christians?
Would someone who is known for paying prostitutes be a good Christian?
Do Christians accept people who are not Christian?
