"I have often thought that we have much to learn from infants. They have not yet adapted to the concept of linear time with a past, present and future. They relate only to the immediate present, to right 'now'. It is my hunch that they do not see the world as fragmented. They feel that they are joined to everything in the world as part of a whole. To me, they represent true innocence. Love, wisdom and forgiveness.
As we become older, we tend to accept the adult values which emphasize preojecting past learning into the present and anticipated future. It is difficult for most of us to have even the slightest question about the validity of our past-present-future concepts. We believe that the past will continue to repeat itself in the present and future without the possibility of change. Consequently, we believe we are living in a fearful world where, sooner or later, there will be suffering, frustrations, conflict, depression and illness.
When we hold on to, invest in and become attached to our guilty experiences and grievances from the past, we are tempted to predict a similar future. The future and the past then become one. We feel vulnerable when we believe that the fearful past is real and forget that our only reality is Love, and that Love exists this instant. Feeling vulnerable, we expect that the past will repeat itself. We see what we expect, and we expect we both invite and seek. Past guilt and fears are thereby contunually recycled.
One way of letting go of our "archeological garbage" is to recognize that holding on to it does not bring us to what we want. When we see no value in recycling it we remove the blocks to our being free to forgive and Love completely now. Only in this way can we be truly happy.
"This instant is the only time there is" can become an eternity. The future becomes an extention of a peaceful present that never ceases."
These current beliefs about LIFE. I'm becoming aware of FIVE FALLACIES about LIFE that create crisis, violence, killing and war: 1)We are separate from each other.
2)There is not enough of what we, humans beings need to be happy.
3)To get stuff of which there is not enough, we must compete with each other.
4)Some human beings are better than other human beings.
5)It is appropriate for human beings to resolve severe differences created by all the other
Can you honestly say with that 'usersmanual' that the world is now a better place?
It looks to me like we're very, very close to destroying ourselves. The 'usersmanual' may be sacred and holy but something isn't working - for thousands of years, now. We truly need to fix it, somehow.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK IN THE PAST IS NOT GOING TO WORK NOW.
Perhaps it could be because of the force of organized religions that really don't have the best interest of promoting true understanding of (love) .
We need to come up with something new and different that supports Love.
DID THEY CHANGE THE COLOUR OF JESUS CHRIST SO THAT MORE PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH WHAT COLOUR WAS HE REALY We're a bit off topic in answer to Gilly's question. That's a complicated question, Gilly. Historically one would have to go back in time and get statistics of the different races and who went to church then. We would have to continue to get statistics and check out races and who attended church and also see what color Jesus was depicted as being. I don't have the answer to that. Mainly, because I'm not as interested as you are about this particular subject. It's a subject that deals with more separation and personally, I think we need to move on and become more united and find new ways other than churches and religion to unite us all together as loving souls.
