I know I have already posted about the bible and how it can be interpreted so many different ways according to who is interpreting it and what they want anyone else to believe according to their own beliefs. Today, I just want to take time out to talk a little bit about my own beliefs. It's not to try and force what I believe on anyone else, but rather to inform my readers about what I believe in and why. The most important thing to always remember when it comes to belief is that a belief without faith strong enough to back that belief no matter what may come your way is a dead belief because faith is what keeps the belief alive. The next important thing to remember is that whatever an individual believes in, it is their right to have that belief because everyone needs something to believe in or else living would be meaningless. With that said, I now move on to describe each of my beliefs and why I feel so strongly about that belief.
My first belief is one that I have already spoken of in a post from before. The creator of our Earth was a woman and not a man. I say this not because I feel I am a woman and not a man, but rather because when thinking of the people who revised the bible from what they interpreted the old writings or even tales passed down to be, they were all men. Women at that time were forced to be seen and not heard, so of course making our creator to be a man gave them right to show how a man was more powerful than a woman. They also wrote in that women had no say in a man's business other than to cook, clean, and bare children and that this was their God's very own say in how it should be. They even have some countries that went as far as telling the women that their God ordered that women should not show their face in public and always walk behind man to show respect for man's dominance over them. What they failed to mention in their teachings, however, is that there is a contradiction in their own writing of the bible. That contradiction comes when they claim that, "No one has seen the face of God for God shines so bright even brighter than the sun that to look upon the face of God would be instant death." If no one has actually seen God, what right then do they have of constantly referring to God as a HIM or HE without being guilty of gender discrimination? To me our creator comes to each individual however that individual believes our creator to be. To me, our creator is most definitely a female because it is what I have felt since birth and stand by it to my dying day.
My second belief is another one I have spoken of before in my postings. I believe that what most call angels are really lesser gods and goddesses that have the powers to control nature but must still report to the Mother of Creation even though they are still higher powers than we are.
I believe this to be true because the bible only says that, "There shall be no gods BEFORE me." Looking at this, the Mother of all Creation did not deny the existence of other gods and goddesses, but rather that we do not worship them above Her. It also says in the very beginning, "Let us make man in OUR own image." Who is the others that make up the OUR if not other gods and goddesses? Some preachers would say that "He" was speaking to "His" son and the holy spirit in order to further educate others towards the holy trinity theory which they believe in. Still, there are others who believe there was no holy trinity and that there was only God the "Father", God the "Son" (God coming to Earth in the human form of again a man), and God the Spirit. All parts being just one almighty. Again, it is all about what the individual believes. If you believe the second part, then again I must ask, who were the others that made up the OUR in the phrase I mentioned?
My third belief is again one I have made mention of before. I believe in three plains of existence. The high plane or heavens, the physical plane which we live in, and purgatory. What I may have not mentioned about purgatory is that there is no Satan in my belief. It is just a place that people who have done horribly wrong things in their lives are sent to face their own personal demons according to what that individual committed to be sent there for the rest of eternity. For example, if you were to murder someone. When you die, you would go to purgatory to be murdered day after day for all eternity. That would be your personal demon. I don't believe in Hell or that Lucifer rules over it, because in Revelations of the bible it talks about a lake of fire that evil souls will be thrown into where they will suffer for all eternity. It also says then that the "beast" will be thrown into the pit and locked there for one thousand years and then be set loose to once AGAIN walk the Earth. The bible also says that Lucifer was once an "angel" of God that cast was cast down to EARTH for trying to make themselves seem more powerful than God by claiming he could win more souls over than God could. He was never cast into what most people call hell. He was cast down to Earth. That is why we have so much pain and hardships that befall us here on Earth because Lucifer is part of our physical plane until he is thrown into the pit and locked up for one thousand years upon which he will be again walking the Earth to wage battle on the forces of good after which he and all his forces will also go into the pit of fire for all eternity. At least that is what I gather from what their bible says. He is not already in the pit of fire, he is here among us. Like the Mother of all Creation, he too can appear to us in any form he chooses.
My fourth belief is one I have never mentioned before. I believe in the power of nature. At least when it comes to healing the emotionally ill which I also believe most illnesses actually derive from. You may have noticed that whenever you feel the most depressed or have suffered a significant emotional trauma in your life, you have been the most easily attuned to getting sick from one thing or another. I know I have. Anyway, even so called sinus attacks most often occur when our emotions are not at our best because when we are depressed we loose energy that keeps us moving and enjoying our life. This lack of energy in turn allows for better chances of whatever attacks our sinuses to make them flare up more of an opportunity to do just that. Nature (and I'm not saying it is the absolute cure for everything) has a calming effect that soothes the emotions and takes away the stress because when anyone respects and shows nature love, nature in turn does likewise. Nature does not judge based on what a person appears on the outside to look like. Nature does not care what a person believes themselves to be on the inside. Nature does not care what things an individual may be into that other people would view as not natural, normal, or call that person sick for them being into it. Nature just totally and completely accepts each and every one of us as we are. It is when a person realizes this that nature's healing powers began to manifest themselves to that person. I know most people want to blame nature for their illness, but what they fail to realize is that without pollution that we ourselves have caused, nature would be as it was before our arrival. It is nature's fault that mankind has treated nature so wrongfully and hatefully to where it is now so polluted with car fumes, pesticides, factory smoke, hair spray fumes, and whatever else we as people have done.
We should not blame nature for our health problems we now suffer from.
My fifth and final belief is that we ourselves have free will to determine what our future holds in store for us. Of course, the bible does not deny that we were given free will. However, it once again contradicts itself when it says that before we are even born God has counted every hair on our head and knows what we are going to think about before we think about it, say before we say it, and do before we even do it because "He" has already predetermined our lives for us. This leads me to believe that we don't have free will, but rather we are forced to play a part in some destiny that God has already written for us. It also leads me to believe that not only are we just actors and actresses reciting from a script that God has written, but that those who believe in the "Butterfly Effect" (changing one thing in the past changes the future) would be lying. Let's say I had enough money to go out and buy me a mansion tomorrow. I know I don't, but this is just an example. According to the bible, it was already predestined for me to have that mansion, so even if time travel were possible, and I was to go back and change one event in my life that would cause me to not have the money I had to get that mansion, I will still come back to the present and have my mansion because it was already predestined that I would have one. Also, using my son. Again, if I was to time travel back and change me ever meeting my son's birth mother, Tiff, I would still have my son because it was predestined I would have him. For my last example, this time I will travel to the future to see I died in a car crash on July 17th, 2014. Now say I came back to the present knowing what is supposed to happen. I choose not to get in the car or any vehicle for that matter on that day. Being our lives are pre destined, you're telling me I would not be able to prevent my death even by not getting in any vehicle on that day? It doesn't make sense, does it? Unless you think it would happen like in Final Destination, free will allows us as individuals to write our own future based on the actions we choose in the present. There is no way our futures are already planned out.
Those are all my beliefs and why I believe in them. I know it is only few, but I just want to add in closing that there are other things I am open to the possibility of. I don't believe in ghosts, but I am open to the possibility they do exist. I don't believe in voodo0, hoodoo, or any spell casting of any sort, but I am open to the possibility spell casting can be done. I don't believe in aliens coming to Earth, but I am open to the possibility they exist on other planets. You see, no matter what differences we have in what we individually believe in, we need to always keep ourselves open to the possibility that the other person's belief may be fact and not pure fiction or even that they will not go to "Hell" for not believing what we as individuals believe. That's all I got for today. Take care and be safe always everyone.
