Good Day!
Sorry for being so late, but I had such a busy day running aroud with business and personal duties, but I did not want to say good night to such a wonderful day without leaving you with a few words.
As a departure from my recent path, just wanted to comment on the nature of life. I finally see that it is totally irrelevant what or who you believe in. It means absolutely meaningless what your faith is, or what it is not. So it is now time to put aside our prejudices, our misconceptions of life, all of the childhood teaching s we were exposed to, because it has since become crystal clear that we all have been under the mistaken notion that we have been taught the truth, so at least some one's version of the truth. And as we all know, there is but one version of the truth.
The reason for my Epiphany, the source of this news flash is right there in front of all of us. What is this book, document, paper or report. it is much simpler than all this. No conspiracy theories. no long lost wisdom or treatise, and no hidden knowledge.
Simply stated, it is all the books we already possess, the ones we turn to for advise and comfort. The books we read, quote and often live by as a road map for living. What are these books you ask, what is the reason for this announcement? Our "Books of Our Fathers and Our Mothers". Our holy books, our bibles, our books of creation and wisdom.
What are you talking about, what I am talking about are the misspoken, misunderstood and often with deadly results the cause of much of the hatred and death in our world. How can our religious as well as secular leaders cause such division and mistrust among all of us. Quite honestly. how can you read and teach from a book or idea that has changed so much from its original and that which can't possibly be understood by today's leaders who do not possess the intent of our ancient writers. I posit that it is impossible to know what these great teachers taught due to the sanitizing of their works. If you think we re write history today, the early leaders of these holy institutions completely changed the meaning of our most revered holy men and women to suit their agendas, and that people just being enlightened and human could also be divine did not square with their power and control grab thousands of years ago.
So the whole point of this is to be careful and always question anyone who claims to have the Truth. They speak of truth as it were toilet paper or any other commodity and that they have the only real supply. Be skeptical of leaders who play one group against another, or spout their brand of xenophobia and hatred. Question ideas that are so far from the real intent that you would shocked if you had access to the original manuscripts, which the powers that be will never see the light of day. So don't buy into the notion that what you read of what you hear is any more relevant than your own thoughts or ideas, in fact, your spin on the burning philosophical and religious questions are probably closer to the Truth than you know.
Have a joyful day,
Robb

I was so impressed with what you have writen. I have always believed that we as a people are so very much alike though people don't want to see that.We all bleed when cut, we all breath the same air, we cry when hurt. we all want to love and be loved. I could never understand why people of all faiths and religions can't form a common bond. Rob, keep writing and keep inspiring people.
