The Past, The Present and the Future

Why do we have a lack willingness to live the present and have a fear of the future.

We are so stuck with living the past hanging onto those memories, usually the bad ones that we forget that we created those moments, we lived them because we decided to live them. We forget that we are the creators of the present, yes God gave us free will - the ability to create our present we forget that and we focus on the past of what was.

The past makes us fearful of living the future because we become frightened of what we might do.

The future is determined by the present not the past. The past is there to help us realise what worked and did not worked, how we acted whether it was how we wanted people to receive us or not.

The past can only be changed by acting in the present so new outcomes are created and different future possibilities established.

We are the creators of our present and possible futures, God intended it to be that way.
There is no good or bad in any situation, God does not judge us as our fellow human race. He knows we are learning, learning to remember who we are.

He lets our souls do what they need to remember who we are, he does this with love, pure unconditional love.

Learn from the past see if it suits who want to be.
Live the present and create your moment by moment reality.
Smile at the future so the present becomes even more real

Has Religion Failed us??????

Has Religion Failed us??????

This is a question I have been asking myself over Christmas and into the New Year.

If we take religion from the last 2000 years, then the only answer deduced after logical reasoning is yes.

Religion was supposed to bring us closer to God – Has it, if we look at the facts in fact it has taken us further away from God then ever before.

Religion has caused and still does cause some of the worst atrocities against mankind and our fellow humans.

It has segregated us between different groups i.e. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus etc.

Not only is the segregation at the bigger levels, but at the internal levels inside side those religion setups is there separation, judgment and hatred.

Religion has put God in a box, made God wrathful, judgmental and unloving. In short it has made God Human, it has made God one like us, lost and confused.

The opposite should be true it should make us like God, the true nature of God. That is loving, caring, non judgemental and ever expanding.

Mankind through history has taken religion and used it as a way to control people and make them powerless. This has been done for greed and pride. One really needs to ask themselves has this religion actually served me in anyway, has it brought me closer to God or has it made me fear God.

It is time we stop fearing God and rather Love him. He has no judgment against us or looks down on us when we do something wrong. He does not say because you are a man you will come to me first and women can’t reach me.

No rather he says all you do, good and bad are a learning experience, fear not I love you as I wish you would love your fellow man.

It is time to walk towards a more spiritual understanding of life.

One based on Love as the main principle, when love is the main principle then there can be no greed or hatred.

It is 2009 and time for us to truly start to operate from the heart, operate with love to everyone.

For that to be done we must break the shackled and beliefs that religion has placed on us, only once you re free from those limiting beliefs can you begin to start to live and understand what God truly has given us here on the earth to experience.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
