Outside, Looking In

Alot of people ask alot of questions. My answer to them is simply, "Knowledge is Experience". You will never truly know something until you EXPERIENCE IT! Just about everyone that knows me asks: Why do you read so much? Why do you read what you read? Why are you into what you are into? What made you make these changes and decisions in your life? Like I said before hand, KNOWLEDGE IS EXPERIENCE! Take time out of you conformist life and step outside of the box. Experience LIFE how you were meant to. Just because everyone else is doing something, doesn't mean that you have to follow in their footsteps. Just like my mother and most likely every mother has said, "If they all jumped off a bridge, would you?". Sadly, too many people do not realize that they have already taken that plunge. That giant leap of Faith into a world which they do not acknowledge to be hurtful to their existence. The music, the clothes, the language, your demeanor, everything about you is far, far, far away from uniqueness. It is more than likely a copy of what someone else is doing or have done. Or it is the result of just going with the crowd and not realizing your true potential. Skinny jeans is a good subject to relate to this. This trend has spread like a wildfire throughout our younger generation, without them even knowing what they are truly doing. One sees something on TV and all the sudden they have to be like that person who they see(or Idolize in some occasions). Record executives put out music and tells us, "Here, this is what you want, this is what you need, this....is how you should live your life". And it's so wrong. It's wrong because too many people have lost sight of TRUTH. Truth that how we live is wrong. How we treat each other(especially females) is entirely wrong and shameful.

About three years ago, I made a life-changing decisions that I will never regret. I converted to Islam. The religion of peace. Everything in the Qu'ran makes sense and if followed correctly(if you have a legitimate copy), will change lives. Like I previously posted, God Helps The Ones Whom Help Themselves. Once you have made that decision to help yourself, then is the time to try and help others. One should not force another to follow their path, but encourage them to try and find their own. Life is an adventure(journey). It is something that is handled and traveled uniquely different from everyone else. Until you fall into confomity. If you know me and ever wondered why I am into everything I am into. Stop living your life how everyone else expects you too. Worry about how Most-High(GOD) looks at you and not how the next person does. When you do this and follow your own path which He has laid out for you. You will realize that you are no longer inside the chaos and misery, but merely......Outside.......Looking In.

God Helps The Ones Whom Help Themselves

This phrase has just recently intrigued me. My mind sparked. A fuse blew and as usual, I suddenly found myself, well.....talking to myself. Now hearing that phrase, it will be taken basically two different ways. One understanding of this I will address this in further detail in a moment to explain, and while the other is still thinking "why is this fool talking to himself?". Like I said as usual, meaning that recently I have been having these spontaneous realizations frequently. The feeling can undoubtedly be synonymous with an epiphany. It is so deep that it cannot be suppressed by mere mental thought. It is almost like its obligated to escape. Escape and break through the mental one-way mirror, and easily roll of the tongue like it's engaged in conversation with another individual. The pieces are starting to come together, but verbally. Point blank, from the research I have done so far on "LIFE" and everything about it(not trying to imply that every subject about it was researched, just the main ones I thought were essential or unknowingly dire to our existence), I have come to a lot of new perspectives and opinions which can sooner than later be proven as Fact. Creation, purpose, knowledge & where did it come from, is there life on only our planet, history of religion, God, the messages of the Prophets(I say "message" because this was often overlooked more than the Prophet who delivered it, which I will discuss in a moment), the multiplicity of the Human Race from the Original Pair, & the bearer of multiple opinions, the muchly anticipated Year of 2012. Not to say that it is impossible for someone on that has been or currently living on this planet to know the exact date, but I'll just leave it at "year". I am just merely stating my point of view of the last 2-10 years. I have chosen these two numbers because they have significance. 2 is including some of Bush's last year as President and Obama's first year and then some. 10 is the sum all from when Bush took office and to the present day. Each year had it's own set of "periods" of events, it seemed. Periods as to say someway similar to the events talked of in the Book of Revelations. Now again, not to say that they are occurring how the book mentioned, but everything that has happened in those years seemed to happen in sequences. Like it was designed to happened so. Or like it is a prelude or say a countdown to something. Something Big, in my opinion. So to approach this subject, as with all things in life you trying to attain new unknown knowledge about, let us empty our cups. Approach this matter with a child like mind. Always wanting to know something because you TRULY want to know. Not just so you can dispute about it or create some assumptions of your own about it or plainly ask just to ask and don't really intentionally(most times unknowingly) want to know. Just think. Our world is changing before our own eyes. We see this when we turn on the news, throughout our daily lives, and especially when we reflect on history or past events. Something is coming. Something is wrong in this world. Like in the past, there will come to past a new world. Something better than this one. Perfect to say the least. The Creator has been waiting for his chosen and/or waiting to be able to create that world for his chosen. I look at people helping themselves as how I think the only way you should look at it. How would God(The Creator) want you to help yourself and with what, in particular? What is the One Thing in our lives that He doesn't want to help us with? A part of my realization was that he wants people willing to try and find his path, and to be guided by Him own their own accord. Now this is just a portion of the position on this matter. But I believe that if you are one of the few that actually make this attempt. Most-High will acknowledge this(or these) attempt(s) and will guide you to Him. Why sit around and be only satisfied with what you believe is guidance and light. When actually, it doesn't seem to be fulfilling. It may seem that way, but deep down there still is something. Something that fills missing, like it's there and we know that it has to be privileged to us, but somehow is held back. The one thing I continue to stress on is Faith(I avoid implying a religion or a secular type of belief, just the common belief in THE "ONE" TRUE GOD(THE SOURCE OR CREATOR). I read something, which I won't dig into for it will be irrelevant for this subject of post, that which a man said that he, during remote viewing,talked to Jesus. And when he asked him if someone did not call on his name, would they not evolve fully. Jesus seem, from the description given by this man, upset when asked this questions. He then forcefully stated that a name is nothing. Now to get into why I put up above "the message of the Prophets". Because during my recent research and readings, I have notice one piece describing the frustration on The Creator's part because of the humans need to take more attention on the deliver of the message than the message itself. The message was always the most important and the only thing that mattered. Not who the person was, where did one get this message, etc. The actual analysis should have been on the message. Jesus said if that we were able to do wonderful things. Alot of people, it seems, overlook this sometimes. He said that we were able to tell mountains to move. WE HAVE THAT CAPABILITY. It's obvious that the things that Jesus did were from a Special Higher Authority and gave him the knowledge he had about life. What I took from this was that we are not quite there yet as far as these abilities that Jesus spoke of. We have to find a way to get these abilities. Also he spoke of an Eternal World, an Eternal Life. Pure bliss. But we are able to attain somewhat of a higher level of life in this life. I don't say this world because I believe that a new one is on the way, and soon. When I say higher life, I mean it to be understood as Higher Knowledge. With Higher Knowledge and nothing but pure, righteous usage only, you can attain peace on earth. We are only a blink of an eye away from getting this type of faith, this new Higher Knowledge, a new lease and look on life. But it all sums down to the same, often overlooked matter. WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT GOD DOES NOT WANT TO HELP YOU WITH? I have heard many different opinions as to the answer of this question. But I only heard the right one once. We have Limited Free-Will. I take this as He doesn't want to make or help us want to be guided(though things may occur in our lives that scream, turn & pray). I state again. WE HAVE LIMITED FREE-WILL. What Are You Doing With Yours?

The Good Guys Always Win!

Life's an adventure. That was my reply to a co-worker the other day during a little discussion of ours. You gotta think. In just about every movie the good guys do always win. Up until recently(the past decade or so), we have been "rooting" for the bad guys. The first big remake of the Batman movie, The Joker was more popular than the main star. So long happy endings. What if every movie had as much happy endings as they did in past times, or better yet more? What if every movie had a happy ending? They would become undesirable, just as they have become today. But in all actuality, its the total opposite. We all know and can agree that what is done in the dark will come to light. All falsehoods will be eventually known for what they truly are. And that Truth will ultimately overcome all opposition. In every Indiana Jones movie, Jones always successfully completed his adventure. Every movie or story with some type of character has a desired result of their adventure. Then we look at the word, adventure. It is a journey, a trip, a beginning and an end, a point A and a point B, a start and a finish. Life is falls into this category easily. It has a start(birth) and a finish(death). The main story, plot, is what transpires between "Point A" & "Point B"? What choices have you made and are going to make? Some people differ on the importance of knowing the past. In my opinion, history is one of our greatest witnesses. If you know the past and are currently viewing the present, then you should have a decent understanding of what is soon to come. Every one's path, journey, is different. Each has it's unique good moments and bad moments. But as you look at what each character had with them on all of their quests. Faith. Whether it be faith in their own abilities, the help they had, or faith in someone looking out for them. What ever it may be, it is faith that is ultimately the main reason for their success. Now you have to think. What do you have faith in? What can you have faith in? What should you have faith in? To have faith in another human is okay, but not guaranteed. We all are human and are imperfect. We all are unable to guarantee a result because we do not have complete control over what happens in our lives. To have faith in yourself is a plus, but still is not sufficient. Like I said, we all are humans and do not have total control over our lives. We cannot simply look into the future and guarantee a certain desire or result of something. But with the common belief in a Supreme Divine Being, a God, One God, we see that He is synonymous with Truth. He is able to give you that guarantee and we are able to feel confident that we will get what was promised to us, whatever it may be, reward or punishment. Now knowing this, we should come to the conclusion that His word, His guidance, His path is the True one. The one that we can have faith in. We can look toward Him with an optimistic point of view. But some have lost faith and do not know it. They say "Ignorance is bliss", but not knowing the truth of your actions can possibly and most likely harm your soul for eternity. Jesus said that are lives are more valuable than two little sparrows. But it is my opinion that many have lost that perspective and the truth behind this parable. Jesus lets us know that we will be looked after, sustained, & cherished with just faith. The animals did not want a choice to have faith or not. We have one and many chose not have faith. Most Gracious(God) is the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds(Praises are eternally due to Him). Jesus told us that Most High takes care of these little birds, that they do not have to worry about food and basic necessities. He then asked, "Do you not think that you life is worth more than a sparrow's?". If you really sat down and "counted your blessings", you will soon find yourself in an impossible task. Even if you actually "think" that you have completed such a task, there still are the unknowns. And who is the knower of all the unknowns? Praise Be To God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. There are countless amount of things that have blessed to us with us even knowing that it even was on the account of Him basically looking out for us. So many people attribute good fortune to self-accomplishment, someone or something else, or some made up deity. My mother scoffed at me when I mentioned the parable to her. Now mind you this is a woman who was raised in a christian family and raised me the same(until I did my own soul searching). Not that her religion has priority over the issue I am trying to discuss, but it was her all too common take on how Lord of the Worlds takes care of us. To have that type of point of view, that even with faith we still have to worry about what we really need in this life(not the material foolish wants), but what we really have to have as essential to a healthy and rewarding existence, it just boggles my mind completely. That is what I mean by lacking the proper faith to complete you journey with the desired results. The guarantee that we need in our lives, ever so more than before. Faith is rapidly decreasing in alarming rates. Atheism is growing tremendously even more than before in our country's history. If you have belief in One God, The One True God, and have faith in Him and his works. Then your journey or should I say adventure will be guaranteed to have the result of the character's in the movies. Because THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WIN!

Lost In The Wilderness.

Now really stop for a minute and think.....................

This world has to end sometime. As do everything else on this planet. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING has a term. People, nations, plants, animals, everything. Like everyother great nation in history, you gotta think.....this country has one also. But when is it? Do you even care? Chances are.....not really. You may say you do, but you deep down inside really don't. If you did, hopefully you will begin to question, why? Why this country? Why is it ending? How is it gonna end? Who or what will end it? The other day I did something that caught my attention for awhile. I went to type in the Google search bar the phrase "the us is" and what popped up in the auto-completion drop down window shocked me. I encourage you to do this yourself.
