I've started noticing when people are actually listening to my stories, compared to when they are just waiting for me to stop talking.

I hope I can be as the listener is to others.

Question everything you’ve ever been taught.
Question our very existence.
Is this life you’re living real; or just imagination?

Ask and it shall be given. Ask and it shall be given. As I was…
Calling out for him, I’ve never felt so alone. Calling out for him, I’ve never felt so alone.

A father looks down at his son and says, “We’re the only ones who decide our own fate. Don’t worry son, the only Hell is the one you create.”

Does it matter more where you go when you die? Or is it how you spend your life?

Question everything you’ve ever been taught. Question our very existence.

I may not believe in sin, but I still know right from wrong.

IT IS WHAT IT IS

Heaven and Hell are here. This planet. This dimension. Before & After this life is just neutral. The law of the universe is neutral. The universal consciousness is neutral. The Tao, the way. Aka Source. Aka God. A perfect balance of all things & feelings. Here on this planet is where we experience the peaks and intensities of different emotions. Where joy can outweigh sorrow. That's the real heaven, is happiness. When sorrow, grief and regret outweigh everything.. That's the real hell.

"This is the time to actively seek the face of god in your day, put god to the test, demand to see the life of god, not santa claus, but god. Look. Challenge. If your god is too fragile for your challenges, fire that god and get another."

Question: What's the point of judging?

It has no benefit other than to boost your own ego and make yourself feel better about yourself.
And even about your own insecurities.
You judge others when you are afraid someone is judging you. Trying to pass the judgement along to someone else.
It's just a waste of energy.

At one point consciousness-altering devices like the microscope and telescope were criminalized for exactly the same reasons that psychedelic plants were banned in later years. They allow us to peer into bits and zones of Chaos.—Timothy Leary

Thoughts on existence 4-9-10:

Do you think cells have a conscious mind?
We can compare it to the body as a solar system and cells inside are people. They know of other bodies are out there, but they aren't attainable. They are too far away to reach. But they can be seen. Other functioning bodies with cells of their own.
Like other solar systems with life forces within them.
But then think of whats beyond that. Even greater systems containg smaller systems, which also contain smaller systems, and so on.
But then there's something even greater than that!
Something beyond everything else, which encompasses All of existence.
That is The universe as a whole. Source. God/Goddess. The Tao.
