When Time Triumphs

Throughout the many mazes of our history, time is the one constant that does not change. It continues on year after year, century upon century, and millennium beyond millennium. It is a fascinating power that has survived 6 million years of human life on the planet earth. To imagine I am now part of that equation. Within this endurable soul that I call my own, and I wonder if I have lived many lives before? Could the people I most wish to research in history have been an earlier version of myself? I mean for 6 million years human beings have been living on this wonderful planet... If we were to multiply every generation since the first human beings began prospering, I would think that the population now in the world of the dead is at least one billion zillion!

I myself do favor Socrates who says: we have a life before we come to this realm. We are allowed to walk through the fields of souls and choose the life we want to live. I sometimes wonder what I was thinking when I chose my life? Was I distracted as I walked on by that field? Maybe I was talking to another spirit who was trying to decide what soul they would choose to live. I really do not know. Not that it really matters. I exist in the here, and now. I have a conception of God that has worked for me~ for many years. I’m not ashamed to say I know about Jesus; I am not ashamed to say: Practicing what the Bible teaches- in the New Testament, is a good thing. I only have the shame of my own personal sins. I have learned to live with parts of my personality that are disturbing. I believe everyone has personality within themselves that they dislike.

It Is a good day when I can embrace all of my truth. On those days, I practice self-control, self-restraint, and self-appreciation. I see nothing wrong with practicing those selfish behaviors. They are beneficial to my interaction with people. They show me how much power I have. They remind me that the choices I made today’ will affect my friendships tomorrow. In light of all that, I sometimes falter. As no man or woman can claim perfection, when we let our unselfish anger effect others. With this self-centered attitude, we judge others indiscriminately. With our positions of power, we condemn the weak. With our intellectual genius we decide there can be no God because if we were God we would have created the world entirely different and with an entirely different set of rules. It is at times like that’ that I’m grateful that God did not make you’ God.

There is a spiritual wisdom and insight that allows you to be yourself regardless of how unappreciative society imposes fashion upon you. You can stand tall and be crowned that you have the ability to believe in faith. Your futures not dependent upon what others think. You’re not chained to a lifestyle that you cannot change. You have full responsibility to choose to believe in God or not. Regardless if there’s a life after this one, kindness, good behavior, and treating others fairly will always be appreciated in this life. We should spend more time developing friendships with people who practice gentleness, trustworthiness, and are interesting as well as have fascinating activities to pass the time. Challenging your mind to think of all the possibilities takes a lifetime to develop. Never cheapen the experience in refusing to think.
