FEAR
I do not believe in heaven or hell. It is all within. There can never, ever exist a devil. Since god or universal power or whatever you want to call it created all, and since god is pure love, then god could never have created a hell or a devil. Those are lies created by most religions to create a sense of fear so that the people will comply. We are all guilty of this, it's not just religion. As a kid growing up in a Catholic environment I was told that if I disobey, I will go to hell. My wife tells me all the time about her "Jewish guilt". When my children were young if they didn't obey I would tell them that Santa is watching etc... In reality the only devil ever created was by people through fear. Fear in essence is the devil. But, it is an illusion, a man-made creation, a fiction. Fear creates all the ills of the world. If you think about every problem conceivable, it has a fear underbelly. Look at the racial division that had plagued out country lately. It is all about fear. Whites fearing blacks for whatever reason and the blacks acting in kind. Politicians flame division by fear. We hear it all the time. Democrats saying vote for us because the republicans are racist. Republicans saying vote for us because democrats are not for law and order. We hear a vote for a democrat means your safety is in jeopardy. I can go on and on but whatever the issue, both parties use fear as a way to control voters.
Your body is controlled by your mind. If you hold negative thoughts of fear, poverty, illness, distress, doubt, disease etc., that is exactly what you will attract. I personally know of a loved one who periodically will state, "I was born to attract bad things. That is what my whole life is about. If something bad was to happen it comes my way." And guess what? That is exactly what he has attracted into his life. You see we all have the power through our thoughts to attract whatever lifestyle we wish. This whole coronavirus pandemic is a perfect example of fear mongering. I am not saying that we should be reckless and not follow certain scientific recommendations. But, what I am imploring the reader to do is to take a good look at your life and make informed decisions. Not decisions based on fear. I am a middle aged man and I have never had a flu shot. I rarely get sick. When I do feel under the weather, it may last hours or a day before I'm back. Why is that? Certainly not because I have super powers. Not because I am better than you. Not because of anything that I ingest. Not because I stay fit. Not because I have a strict diet. In fact, I love sweets. One of my favorite times of the year is Halloween because I get to steal and eat my daughters' candy. Not because I get 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night. None of that! The only reason is because of my MIND! Your life is like a canvass with an artist waiting to paint on it. The hands of the artist is not doing the painting. It is the mind that first creates the picture and then orders the hands to follow. The hands do what the mind has decided. Without mind the hands are useless for an artist. That is the same with everything else in life. Without mind, your life is pretty much useless. So, since we all have a mind, why not use it in a positive way. Sounds very simple but look around at how much hatred, poverty, disease, there is. The truth is it doesn't have to be that way.
I always wonder why it is that major learning institutions do not teach this. I can only conclude that it is all based on fear. Fear that the public will finally figure out that they don't need to depend on these institutions to live a wonderful life. A life of their choosing. Let's remember what Shakespeare said, "There is noting either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." I would rather say there is only good so don't let thinking destroy it. I leave you with a poem on point.
"When you're going through life's valleys, and you think there's no way out, you're not the first to feel this way. There's hope without a doubt."
