How about a visit. I don’t know if there is a dimensional reality existing that I cannot see. Probably is. Probably is part of the whole matrix.
Everything that exists, exists because it exists.
So we are here subject to power, so it would be no surprise we are subject to power elsewhere. To think that power elsewhere is benevolent, well...it’s a thought.
If cows and horses and dogs and cats used our thinking, they would conclude that their masters are loving and kind because cows get such good treatment (food, water, shelter, vet care, etc., until we kill and eat them. Horses get food, shelter, teeth fixed, hooves trimmed, barns, fields, pickup trucks, trailers, awesome saddles, bridles, blankets, and then we ride them for our pleasure. Dogs and cats are treated awesome and we get pleasure out of having them serve us in so many ways (serve us being the key words for all the animals). So it would be no surprise that all the good stuff on earth for us is there for the same reason, to keep us content, happy, and for some reason, it serves our god or masters and we bring them pleasure ( "I will do all my pleasure”).
So...what pleases and pleasures our creator, master, god, or whatever?
Obviously we were created to NOT obey if we so choose. That’s in our nature too.
Unlike horses and dogs, etc., we can look god in the eye and say, “Ain’t doin’ it.” That’s in us.
If indeed, there is a god, or master, like there is on earth, then we can tell the cop, the mayor, the county attorney, the governor, the president, “ain’t doin’ it!” And because they have power they can say, “To death with you.”
Yup, that’s life here, and who is to say it ain’t life hereafter.
If it’s true as some folks say that “Love is all there is,” where’s the beef (proof)?
WE LIVE IN A WEIRD UNIVERSE.
We may not be robots like some shows portray robots, yet we do things we like and avoid doing things we don’t like, but the real question is, why do we like what we like and don’t like what we don’t like? Maybe we’re more robot than we think.
Until we know what we are and why we are we don’t know much.
It could be true that we are energy-beings created for someone else’s pleasure, and “That’s all folks.”
We were created to fulfill someone else’s need for pleasure, and they get pleasure out of seeing–experiencing–our dilemmas and how we reach resolution, like a crime drama.
Maybe that’s all we are. Though since they created us, maybe they care for us, like we care for our creations, and our natural off-spring creations (children) and if that’s the case, ok, but maybe we shouldn’t get a BIG HEAD about it thinking we are so very important to creation or to the creators (if creators there be?).
Sure ... we have fun and boredom, pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, and all those other opposites, and most of us don’t want to die too early, and perhaps those things are enough to make life worth sticking around for, but afterwards, when dead, maybe it’s just more of the same thing, or, perhaps we go to some heaven and do what???? Enjoy living without opposites...just fun, pleasure, joy and all those other things...for all eternity and forever, well...that’s a thought.
Some religions say that logic and reason are the enemy of belief and faith, other religions teach this: Let us reason even as a man reasoneth one with another face to face. Now, when a man reasoneth he is understood of man, because he reasoneth as a man; even so will I, the Lord, reason with you that you may understand.
I can’t imagine the value of a god who wants sheep who don’t reason and accept merely because of belief and faith. If there is a god like that, please spare me...but there’s probably enough people who would go for it since they wouldn’t have to think.
OK, enough rant for the day. nem.
