Lets talk Dirty

If we are created by God and then God sends people to guide and advise us surely it makes sense to listen to these people. These people know us better than we know ourselves so surely we should trust them?

They have our best interests at heart. God doesn't want us to be unhappy but happy. So it figures we should listen and try and follow what they say, doesn't it?

All that original sin stuff is guff. How can that be true. It is just a tactic imposed by those in power to control the multitude. Its like a parent wishing their child to be miserable it just doesn't make sense unless they are into some sick power trip.

I suppose the difficulty or challenge in this day is that we have 'independent investigation of truth' and with that comes a responsibility. In past ages we could hand this responsibility to the minister or religious person of a community but now we must check it out ourselves. But the fact is this is a hugely empowering thing that we have the power and the capacity within ourselves to decide is a wonderful thing - a liberating thing. The huge advantage of this is that we wont get too much of the blind faith as we need to use our intellect – God gave us the capacity to reason and we need to use it. To question in order to find truth. Not to question in order to find fault. A subtle difference there.

Everyone has the capacity to understand too – its not confined to a few. That wouldn't be fair, would it? So when folk say they don't understand then that's codswallop. It is just them saying something else – like they might feel they 'cant be bothered' but then that would be them not actually realising what's been offered. Anyone who recognises the validity of the latest messenger of God cant help themselves but to get involved. Its exactly like in the matrix when the guy is offered a choice of pills to take. Take this one and you will return to your old life and live a lie as you are not addressing the 'real' existence or take this one and there is no turning back and what you experience could never have been imagined, the joys the realisations, the depths of awareness you experience, the doubts all go, the answers to all your questions it goes on forever, there is nothing in creation which compares to the enhanced state of being, experienced when you embrace the religion of the latest messenger from God.

It's a bit like marriage – for those that have experienced a true union know what I am talking about. You could never have imagined the joy the sweetness the shared excitements. Those special times need to be experienced to be believed. And they take a bit of effort to create but where there is love, there is always energy and interest and time.

Some folks say they lose their independence by trying to live by a religion because of all the rules. In a very simplistic way if we think of the traffic system as a parallel, with no driving rules which we all adhere to, there will be chaos and no-one will be able to get to where they want to go. It is a liberating thing to abide by laws of God, it actually gives us wings, not abiding by them gives the allusion of freedom but nothing could be further from the truth.

Loads of examples spring to mind – heres one about relationships. Many folks of the opposite sex and within a certain age group when they meet they have an expectation of having a bonk. If not an expectation then certainly they think it may be a possiblility – there is flirting and other stuff going on which inhibits proper communication. It amazes me how in this world so much attention and importance is put on a loose bit of flesh at the end of the male belly and a bum on a girl. Don't get me wrong there is a place for all that sex stuff but properly expressed in the sanctity of matrimony is that place, and it is a wonderful beautiful thing when properly expressed. When you respect that and know it to be true, then what happens when you meet others of the opposite sex is that you are totally free to communicate with each other on a real level without all that guff which inhibits true communication.
