What a catastrophe that the "club" mentality has forced people to take sides in religion and say "my club is better than your club - join now, or die" or "my God is the only God, if you don't believe in my God, you will be cast down for eternity", etc, etc. Because of this, there can never ever be "One World" - or can there???
Would you like to know just how small our little home is? It's easy..! Just click on the following video link:
Yes, we all try to co-exist on that little "upside-down" blue ball. How insignificant are the wars, hatred, intolerance, misery and pain being inflicted on its population, at least compared to the "outside world" of infinite space and continuum...?
But, the good news is that the guardians of Earth (us humans), CAN change for the better! How serene and silent our planet looks, by the way; so where, from this viewpoint, is the mayhem and turmoil which exists now?
Are you with me so far? Right then, let's zoom out further from our moon...
I would like you to expand your horizons beyond our home, and look at any map of the solar system. Do you remember the posters that were doing the rounds a few years ago? It was a picture of our universe, with a little arrow pointing into the middle, and a caption which read: "You Are Here"...
Stop, and think again about the line in The Desiderata - "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be Here..."
So what can we do to unite as one and continue hand in hand along the path of life and to a better spiritual future? I suggest to you that The Desiderata may be a fantastic starting point for all people of the world; it is totally non-religious and can be written on a single sheet of paper...
Simply put, it's the beginning of a new way to live your life! If you can honestly apply everything written in The Desiderata, you would already find yourself on the spiritual path to peace, love and light!
If you've never tried to do this before do so now, ideally for at least a week. Even utilising these easy to follow rules to your life for just one day would give convincing results. And do you know what's best of all? You will feel HAPPY!!!
WHEN YOU'VE DONE THIS, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FELT AFTERWARDS
(and then continue reading)
(by the way, if you would like to join me on this journey of discovery and enlightenment, please, please follow my suggestions. Otherwise, how can we have a common understanding? You have to feel what I feel, and I have to feel what you feel. Then we empathise, like only true spirits can.... thank you!)
AAH, you're back.... good to meet up again :o)
Welcome to my little blog, and perhaps, a little ray of hope?
In the days and weeks to come, I will tell you how I came across the Desiderata, what it means to me, and how I think it could help us all in the future. Ours will be unique journey, as you will discover. Another thing I quietly ask of you is please follow the "points to ponder" at the bottom of each post. I would like you to consider each question, and formulate your HONEST answer. You have to do this in order to understand yourself and where you are going, or should I say "where WE are going".
You are of course welcome to submit your comments and thoughts as to how we can achieve universal peace and love of each other, and love of all living beings within the elaborate matrix which is our cosmos... PEACE, LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU ALWAYS!
Pause For Thought:
1. What do you think are the positive aspects of religion?
2. What do you think are the negative aspects of religion?
3. Have your religious views changed from when you were young?
4. If there were no religious boundaries, how different do you think the world would be?
5. Do you think that in the future, it would be possible for people of all religions to accept one another as brother and sister?
