We are beings who have limits in our ability to see what will come next in our lives. The future is outside of the range of our vision. So what do we do when circumstances arise that cause us to be in a complete state of discomfort or of pain?

Many people turn to religions; for that is what religions were created for. Others turn to despair. Others have not chosen which way to go. More often than not those who have chosen religion have also chosen despair. Then so many people are left suffering. The answers to our problems have not yet been disclosed. A body poised on a single point feels the point more deeply than a body lying spread out. As a metaphor the point means our focus is on our problem. When we are distracted then we do not feel the pain; we often forget it. We use tools such as entertainment or alcohol as distraction. There are so many forms of distraction that we cannot cover them all here. Some of these distractions are harmful and some will be of benefit to ourselves or to others.

We are here to discuss faith. The character of faith is to de-emphasize the point on which you lie while remaining undistracted. How can this be possible? Is faith a distraction or is it something else? Why is so much emphasis given to the idea of faith? Surely it must have its roots deep within our being, as we are transformed by it. Then what is this transformation? If faith has no physical basis, such as alcohol, or or a movie, or television, then it must exist on another level, something that cannot be touched. So we see that faith is spiritual. In order to make use of its properties then we must attain a spiritual growth which will give us this tool.

Thus we come to our experiment with spiritual practices and various forms of religion. Sooner or later we find the most suitable form of practice, or a system of belief, and it is here that, no matter what it is, we place our spiritual quality of faith, giving it the hand to reach out, and the voice with which to speak the words. So we grow into new beings now capable of enduring the full stab of our afflictions. Now it is time to go into the world remembering always that your growth is real. It is as tangible as any object in the room. When you ask for strength you are given a tangible, real and solid object. 

When you go from reading this remember that you are as one who has taken on a shield and a badge of protection; for you now have faith in the greater reality. You have faith that you are more than you seem to your own vision of yourself. This greater reality is the love from which you were born. It is there and you now know that it is there on your behalf. Any thought that you are alone should be banished from your mind. There is a fabric to all that is. It is from this that you come into the world. 

Now imagine that there is a God. Imagine that this God has no boundaries. Then all that can be exists in all ways for all of time and exists in ways which we cannot describe. Then what is left to say. You are meant to exist as fully as is possible. So what you lack will no longer be not there. What pain you have will not always trouble. All is in flux. Rest assured that all that is above will not always seem so high and what is below will not seem lower than you are. Rivers will rise and flood the land, then rivers will dry. So you see. Pain will pass into pleasure. Fear will dissipate into order. Crime will erase the criminal. Deeds done for goodwill vaporize. All acts will reverse themselves so that they are opposite, until acts of faith remove them from this cycle. For in faith is growth and in growth is creation and in creation is purpose, so in purpose is achievement and finally in achievement is the coming of a manifestation of destiny which is the purpose of your life.

You become a greater being so you can create a greater universe. The new universe will endure forever as a more stable place. Peace means stability. In simple terms it means that we no longer live in a state of flux, or up and down, or greater and lesser, or pain and pleasure. We are making this universe together.  That is all beings who live on all planets, who arise from time to time and in different places, who are known to one another or not. All sorts of beings, all who strive to be greater than they seem to be, in whatever form, human, not human, body, or no body that you would recognize, will participate, did participate as they are gone, or will participate because they are yet to be born.

So the final word is YES for NO has had its day.

Be now a part of it. Believe that you will overcome whatever is your trouble or your pain or your lack of belief. Simply believe that the universe is conscious and don’t give it a name, for any name is too small. 

Do your best. Have some faith. You will be rewarded.

I am Hethball.

Philosophy from Two Crows

If you imagine standing on the edge of an ocean, consider what you see in front of you. The vast expanse of water in front of you stretches as far as the eye can see; there is the horizon and nothing more beyond... or is there? We know from prior knowledge that there is more, even though it is not visible at that moment - even though we cannot see it, we can imagine it for we know it to be so. Yet how often do we stretch that which we know to be true, to imagine more - to expand on our current knowledge? Perhaps therefore we should take time to explore that horizon - to make moves to discover more of what lies beyond. 

We know that although the ocean is vast it is not infinite; it is broken by land - by islands, by other parts of the World. What of our own horizons, beyond our own vision? At times we may feel that there is nothing but the ebb and flow of our own tides - our emotions, our experiences and that all we are aware of is all that there is. Yet we know that there is more and we each have our own horizons to explore, to investigate, to bring together all that we believe to be beyond the horizon just out of sight with that which we have never even dreamed of. 

Thus discoveries are made, knowledge is expanded and we know that we have reached beyond our own limitations as we perceive them, beyond all that we are familiar with - to embrace the unknown and to journey beyond those boundaries. Within the expanse of the ocean of knowledge that wed can see are hidden depths that create boundaries and new experiences as much as reaching beyond the horizons - for even in what we can see immediately in front of us are other aspects to be explored and the unknown to learn about - to delve into. How far we go towards the horizon -for there is always a horizon ahead - and how deep we go to explore is for us to decide. We are the decision-makers in our own adventures and explorations, and although we may sometimes share that horizon with others, all that is found along the way is ours alone and will be different for everyone. See the ocean ahead of you - for it is the ocean of possibilities. 'Til we meet again... 

When you send out anger you get anger back, when you send out love you get love back etc. By your actions and thoughts the consequences can be disastrous for you and the people around you, each one affecting one another. It’s like a ripple affect that goes on and on unless you curb it.

The way to put things right is to treat your fellow man with respect and send out loving thoughts only, as we go through our lives each thought and action will cause consequences that are in your control to change, be then true to yourself do not let anger last long, finish it with forgiveness, do not let your pride get in the way of living a loving harmonies and happy life.
