Part Two of Two

I will not give a detailed roadmap, but will give some clues:

1. Avoid being dishonest with yourself. Otherwise you are living a lie, or deluding yourself, and if you hate parts of yourself, then think positively, and make changes.

2. Don't expect happiness to be given to you prepackaged on a plate. You will be taken for a ride if you buy into this option.

3. Identify and accept the real truths. If there is no purpose or reason for life, accept that as a hard fact and move on. If it has not been found yet it probably will never be found, or at least not in your lifetime.

4. Accept what can't be changed (see item #3 above).

5. Appreciate what you have. Most people have no concept of just how much they truly have, and how really good life is for most of us, and probably won't realize until after it is gone. Read lyrics/chorus to Yellow Taxi, google it!

Finally some quotes with some elements of truth (and insights to them):

1. The Secret to Happiness is... Low Expectations
2. Mind over Matter: If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
3. Rule One: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!, Rule Two: There is Only Small Stuff.
4. Worrying is a waste of time, most things you worry about never happen!

Disclaimer:
If you don't believe or don't want to believe any, or all of the above, fine, then don't,. Because, non of these beliefs are COMPULSORY.
If you disagree with me, then fine, I will agree to disagree!
You are quite welcome to your own beliefs as appropriate.

And remember: Be Happy! :-)

causes of the religious beliefs of Humankind are rooted in our psychology. Psychologists, sociologists, ethnographers and scientists tend to view religious beliefs as the result of mostly normal psychological systems being applied in the wrong context.

..................................

I am totally happy to be a man of wrong context. I stumbled into a conversation and go did tripped some alert buttons and the boss spoke to me by email, oky feel good with that attitude, anyhow that makes a view added into how to define God and when God talks to us as a way to ....get involved in the discussion and be lucid toward objective rather than vain toward stupidity, not at all I love my stupidity...so humour will help. Often it is war, but humour is better as the help with lucid. This God question is caught up with humans in a big way. So them folk talk about the God. I laugh, get stressed out and angry or something. I think we are all God. If I get deleted, it will not be due to politics, it will not be due to insult or abuse it will be when I self-reflect and say something deriding of myself. A reflection, an image? One I can talk about? I am happy and can show you the skeletons, by speaking about God, a definition of wrong context. In matching my morals against others, am I wrong context?

Ha ha ha, I lose. You can call me Lyle and I decide on a deletion based on my name the day I turn up too drunk, yes? Delete me if I screw up with my grammar, yes please? I cannot help you with my eccentric, can confirm a persona being paid a disability pension based on the persona. So I drink grog at home, err in a cell where I have ...key. A place I can stay away from all other, I can put blame upon only me and stumble to bed, then awake brightened and feeling again like God, raise the fist and shake, screaming Yes, GOD, you and ME. Again today...

Religion is self-inflicted delusion, illusion, smoke and mirrors.

...........

Oh you are referring to the concept of getting the questions correct and later discovering the answers are not,

Chill out.

I make this point though, there is no universal point or purpose to life, people have been searching since time began, with a Nil Result. Best accept it, and get used to it!

Falco, those are your life journey experiences not other peoples ie your relationship with God, not many other peoples' relationships with God at this point in your life [journey].

ie your viewpoint will in all probability change at the end of your earth journey or stay.

Never say Never is the old wise proverb.

i hesitate to feed faco's ..latest illusions
but respect those ..he posted earlier..[some great points]

but essentially we are all god....
as much as a computer is all electicity

clearly computers work..because of electicity
but to say computers 'is' electicity is wrong

god sustains us to live
all then...'natural process of life..thats god doing what god does

jesus was to be called emmanuel
meaning god with us

this was meant to read
god with-in=us all..sustaining all life to live

just like electicity and programing makes our computers able to work
[even so computers need logic in ..to put logic out]

god is logus[logic]...
the logic that underpins the so called ..'natural laws'...

thats the clever deciete.. from athiests
claiming 'natural' selection ..to be a science methodology..

there is everything and nothing
in claiming 'natural'..to be a claim as for science method
that rebuts gods nurture ...doing it all ...'naturally'

its hard to concieve the good's of god..]
[the logic of light sustaining life into love]
sustaining even ...the most vile their life/living

talk about the least being the greatest
god the most serves even the least their very living

its hard to explain meta physics to children
..who need to believe in santa clause type delusions

surely anyone can see the clever deciete
that covers over jesus birth with a know it all judge
who knows if we been bad or good..

a faux fake god=head and then the ester rabbit that covers neatly over his death..that refutes the delusion of judgment and reserction days

that distorts
the reveal of jesus
of a non-judgmental personal good god..

[who dont judge anyone..]

in fact sustains the very lives
of those who decry and would deney him his very egsistance and everything he does ..even ..for ..the most vile..!

continue
