Discussions

Within my discussions I may appear to take certain “sides” of a discussion, I will appear to have certain beliefs and be appearing to defend them. I make no claim to any immutable beliefs.

My goal is not changing anyone’s beliefs, but to simply help us to look at the origin of them. Show life from a new perspective.

I welcome any and all feedback, disagreements, opinions, viewpoints, and thoughts.

Vibes

It is claimed that people have good vibes or bad vibes, and that there is good energy and bad energy. That's just not true. When you "feel" bad vibes coming from someone else, it is simply a feeling within yourself that you yourself find uncomfortable and unwilling to look at so you tell yourself that they must just have "bad vibes". If someone is feeling angry, bitter, and depressed, they would be labeled as having "bad vibes". Someone feeling an emotion that makes you feel uncomfortable is just them feeling an emotion which is actually a really healthy thing to do. When their emotion causes you discomfort, it's because you don't believe that you yourself are allowed to feel those emotions, so you pass it off as "bad vibes".
If someone is happy and has a bubbly personality, they are said to have good vibes. We like to feel happy, and we like to see others happy so when we see someone happy, we think they have "good vibes". Good vibes are things that we like within ourselves that we see within others. Bad vibes are things we don't like about ourselves that we see within others. Sometimes someone may have harmful intent against us, and we may feel "bad vibes" coming from them. That is our intuition telling us to avoid a certain situation that isn't meant for us, it's not vibes.
As for good and bad energy, need to first look at the fact that everything in this universe is in fact made of energy. EVERYTHING IS ENERGY. Who is the decider or what energy is good and what energy is bad? What if the decider of good versus bad energy deems that you are bad energy. Sucks to be you, I guess. Good thing there is no such thing as good or bad energy otherwise we'd all be fucked. Energy just is, there are different forms of energy, but everything is energy, there is no good energy and there is no bad energy.
Next time you come across someone with "bad vibes" ask yourself what it is exactly that makes them have "bad vibes". Is it because they are being mean and aggressive? You don't know why they are being that way. What if you found out they had just lost their entire family including all their pets and all their property due to a housefire while they were out of town on work. Overnight they had their entire life ripped out from underneath their feet and they are just trying to figure out how to exist in the new reality of theirs. Would that change your opinion of them? Maybe you would forgive their behavior, maybe you would forgive their "bad energy" it's only bad energy when we fail to have empathy. When we allow ourselves to have empathy for a stranger and realize they have a life of their own that we are completely unaware of we stop seeing them as "bad vibes". Love and Peace!

Letter From Satan

Dear Christ Followers,
I infiltrated Jesus's close group of disciples and turned Judas Iscariot against Christ, yet you do not believe that I am able capable of infiltrating your religion. I have been within your religion since the beginning of its creation starting with Judas. The best way to defeat an enemy is from the inside out. You are too busy looking outside of your religion for me that you never once looked within. It was really quite easy. I turned your leaders and provoked them to preach my teachings from their pulpits instead of the words of Christ. I twisted Christ's message of Love and turned it into a message of fear. 
Christ told you that he was the good Shepherd, yet you foolish sheep will follow any so-called shepherd who tells you there is something to fear and then gives you solutions to that imagined fear. You are too busy fearing that which you do not understand to use any form of logic or critical thinking. I got you to believe that the homosexuals, the witches, and the ungodly are all possessed by me and that I was using them to get to you and turn you to evil. I ask you, if you believe all of these "sinners" are already going to hell then why would I bother with them at all? That's simply no fun. It's like going hunting and having a deer walk up to you, grab your gun from you and shoot itself. There's no sport in that. The real thrill is hunting and tracking down your intended target and then taking the shot.
I am the true master of this world. Christ died to forgive the sins of the world and yet I convinced you there are sinners all around you. I convinced you that Christ didn't wipe out all sin when he died for you. Christ died to abolish hell and yet you strive to send others there. Christ told you to spread his Love throughout the world and yet I convinced you to hate and call it Love. You're book from God told to Love your neighbor; I convinced you the word Love meant convert. You call yourself followers of Christ and yet you are truly followers of me. I came to you pretending to be a friend when all along I was manipulating you and controlling you. The people of this world who call themselves Satanists don't even worship me; the fact is they could care less about me and don't even believe in me. Their only goal is to fight the bigotry which you inflict onto others. You on the other hand give me my power by your belief in me. 
It was so easy to turn you against Christ. You were warned to be on the lookout for wolves in sheep's clothing. You were warned to be wary of those within your flock who strive to turn you against Christ's teachings. All you did is look outside your pasture waiting for the wolves to come. The wolves never came from outside for they were within all along, patiently waiting to make their move. I did my job so well that I am able to tell you exactly what I have done as I laugh in your face and mock you, yet you refuse to believe the truth and you still think it was the gays and the whores who are to blame. I didn't have to go after them, since I had you doing my bidding for me.  
I write this to you because I have become bored with you. I simply gave you some false beliefs and you ran with them. It was so much easier than I had ever intended. You were so eager and willing to kill and maim all in the name of Christ. I sat back and watched as you destroyed all those opposed to your beliefs and now, I watch as you destroy yourselves. Christ may have saved your eternal soul and saved you from eternal damnation, but I rule this world and all within it. I have turned this world into the hell that was stolen from me by Christ. 
I openly mock you and you do nothing. I openly lie to you, and you believe. I openly twist the words of your master Christ, and you believe me. I teach hate, doubt, and fear for that is who I am. I caused you to fear hell that Christ saved you from. I caused you to doubt Christ's teachings. I caused you to hate your enemies, even though you have none. Praise me, praise my name, for I am the true king of this world. You already do it with all of your actions and beliefs. Hate and condemnation forever!

A Letter From Christ

To the churches of "Christianity",
Did you listen to anything I said? Did you listen to my disciples? Why do you believe that you know better than I? Luke:43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” I was sent to proclaim the good news! I was sent to show there is no death! I was sent to take your sins from you! The grand sum of the message in the bible is DO NOT BE AFRAID AND LOVE EACH OTHER! If any of you "Christ followers" would actually take the time to read the bible and be open to interpret it the way it was meant to instead of using it to prove to yourselves that your beliefs are real. 
I taught nothing but Love, acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion. You teach fear, hatred, judgement, and contempt. You were warned to “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." in Matthew 7:15. never stopping to ask yourself if you could be that wolf in sheep's clothing leading others astray. I preach forgiveness and you condemn. I told you to go share the good news and you try to convert. I preach acceptance and you hate others because they don't believe the same as you. 
I was sent to proclaim the good news and told you to continue spreading the good news.  You used my name to create a religion. You used that religion to create a cult. You used my message of Love and peace and turned it into a message of hate and fear. Your only goal is expanding your churches in order to fulfill your greed. Were you not told in Matthew 19:24 "24 And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." and yet all you want is more money to put back into your church to get more money. A majority of your job listings for lead pastors lists under requirements "the ability and desire to grow our church family". I ask you why is that a requirement to be a pastor in this religion called Christianity? If you did what I asked of you and celebrates the good news, people would be knocking down the doors to come to the party.
You "followers of Christ" have turned others against me and my good news. You "Christians" preach hate, condemnation, and hellfire. You pray for and long for an apocalypse in order for your "enemies" to be sent to the depths of hell. You have turned this world into hell. Why do you long for the destruction of others? Why do you condemn? Why do you twist my words and use them as weapons against others?
You wolves in sheep's clothing bring others into your cult through means of fear tactics and manipulation. Children are taught in Sunday school week after week about how they better be on their best behavior or else they are going to hell forever and ever. You then teach those same children that they aren't even allowed to question anyone because the just need to have "faith" that what they are being told is true. You keep them locked into your cult with fear. If they try to get away from your cult of Christianity, they are accused of "going to the Darkside" or "worshipping the devil". Very few ever make it out of your cult. 
You hypocrites tell the children that everything and everyone outside of Christianity is a "cult" and that everyone else is evil, causing the children to become afraid of everything and everyone that is outside of Christianity. In turn most are too terrified to ever leave. Just so we are clear. If followers of a religion are too terrified to leave, that is very clearly and simply a cult. If a religion tries to engulf all of humanity and wants to bring about the end times a.k.a. the apocalypse, that is by definition a cult. Christianity is a cult, but you just call it a religion and it becomes not only acceptable but refined and civilized. 
To the churches that preach my words and follow my ways. To the churches who don't use fear or care about greed. Why aren't you standing up against those churches that twist my words. Why aren't you preaching the good news louder than the wolves? Drown out the cries of the wolves. Churches defile my message of good news and peace, and you sit and do nothing. You are in compliance. 
You claim to be waiting for the second coming of me, being ever on guard and yet I have been among you for quite some time watching. If I just appear one day and say here I am while a golden ray of sunshine shines down upon me and all the angels of the heavens start singing my praises. You would all pretend that you were on your best behavior. Like children do at Christmas time in hopes of tricking Santa into thinking they were good all year. I have been walking among you, I've been out in the open, right under your noses. I have been here all along. I came to you as a beggar asking for help, and I got none. I came you for Love and was ignored. I came to you for acceptance, and I got condemnation. I came to you for a friend and all I got was an enemy.
Give up your greedy ways, give up your desire for power and control, and give up your fear. THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR! Stop telling anyone otherwise. Everyone is a child of God. No one is unworthy! I tell you to Love the outcasts, the homeless, and the sinners. You interpret that as "saving them". All you "followers" of me are delusional suffering from a savior complex. You want to be crucified but I already was, in order to take your place so you wouldn't have to be. There is no one to save except yourselves. You only desire to condemn others because you are already condemned, you have condemned yourselves and are trying to relieve the pain of condemnation by pushing it onto others.   
Matthew 7:3 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Stop focusing on others and they are doing and focus on yourself. Love and Peace!

Matthew 7:3-5

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
To many of us as a means of self-deception convince ourselves that there is nothing wrong with us when we in fact have the equivalent of a redwood tree in our own eye. We are filled with infected cuts from undealt with emotional wounds and scars.

We don’t want to admit that we are wounded and for many of us we believe that since we can’t see emotional wounds that they aren’t real. We can feel emotional wounds and if we can feel them, they are real.

We are only able to help someone else with their wounds by healing our own first. That is what that phrase means. It’s a metaphorical way of saying worry about yourself and don’t worry about others. Fix yourself, don’t worry about fixing others. Heal yourself, don’t worry about healing others.

It’s when you heal yourself that you see how no one else could even do it, it had to be you all along. We can’t help anyone, we can’t heal anyone, and we certainly can’t fix anyone. We can only help ourselves.

That’s not to say if someone asks us to help them, we have to say no. If someone asks for help that is their way of helping themselves, so we may help someone when they ask for it. If someone doesn’t ask us for help, then we need to mind our own business and let them do their thing. Trust that they know what they are doing and if they don’t, they will ask for help.

How many of the world's problems could be solved if we all just minded our own business and stopped trying to live everyone else’s lives for them. A lot less stress, that’s for sure. Love and Peace!

You Can Do It!

What is it that you have always wanted to try? What is it that you have always felt like you could do but were always too afraid to try? What do you want to do more than anything?
What is stopping you? Is it the fear of failing? We all fail, we all make mistake, we all fall down. What's important is getting back up and not giving up. Are you afraid of being embarrassed? Chances are the people who would make you feel embarrassed are too scared to try it themselves. The ones who would be judging you are the ones sitting on the sideline. The ones who would be cheering you on, would be doing it right next to you.
Do you think that you can't do it? If you never try, you'll never know. The biggest obstacle that any of us face in any given situation is saying "I could never do that" or "that's just not who I am". How do you know if you've never tried?
Let's visualize together what would happen if you try what it is you want to do. It can be anything that your heart desires, doesn't matter. Pick something that you have always wanted to do or try and imagine doing it. Don't worry about the details such as the who, where, what, when, or how. Just imagine yourself doing it. How does it feel? Do you feel proud of yourself that you have finally done this thing you've always wanted to do? 
The absolute worst-case scenario that could happen is you would fail and feel embarrassed. Is that really the worst thing in the world? We have all failed and we have all felt embarrassed, so what's one more time?
The truth is, you are standing in your own way by believing that you can't do it. When you decide to just say fuck it and go for it without holding anything back, it's a guarantee that you will surprise yourself and that you will show yourself that you are in fact capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Even if you fail, you will see the strength you had within that it took just to try and that is a bigger rush than you can even imagine.
We are all human; we are all capable of doing the same things that any human is capable of doing. If one person can do something, that means that any other person has the power and strength to do the same thing. Despite what we think or believe, there simply aren't superhumans that just magically have the ability to do something that no one else is capable of doing. They either worked their ass off to get there or the just ignored their fear and doubt and just went for it. We humans are capable of outstanding almost miraculous level achievements. We just think that "someone else" can do it, but "not me". I say to you why the hell not? Why the hell can't you do it? No one is more blessed than anyone else.
You don't have to believe in yourself in order to try things or to accomplish things. Believing in yourself comes from proving to yourself your capabilities. I believe in you! Use my belief in you and go for it! Prove to yourself just how strong you are! Prove to yourself just how amazing you are! When you see that, you will believe in yourself. When you believe in yourself and realize what all you are capable of you will see that we all share the same abilities and that no one is more special or more blessed than anyone else.
Stop making excuses, stop procrastinating, stop letting fear control your life and go for it! You can do this, you got this! You are strong! You are powerful! You are just as special and amazing as everyone else! Love and Peace!
