The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.
I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!
Your pal, Jess I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.
Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
Let's say I have achieved Supreme Consciousness. I am omniscient. I know all. I have KWUTEO (knowledge wisdom understanding truth enlightenment and omniscience). Wouldn't demonstrating this just be an exercise in feeling smart? (and I'd be talking for quite awhile)
basic law Achieve basic needs, comfort, and happiness- and help everyone else do likewise.
Someone says you must know nothing to know everything. "Know" in the biblical sense? OR, nothingness is everything. Hmm. Is this some quantum physics truth thing? I don't know, lol. Do you know everything at the moment you know nothing? Or maybe a trillion years later? How would you know if omniscience is impossible?
There you have it: God says he doesn't exist. I'm doing a really sucky job, and since the God Book says love believes all, well I believe this particular proposition, too.
Peace out, God (or whatever)
I'll leave you with this good stuff:
By the way, if Satan is your God, you're not an atheist.
Here's the skinny on the Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven backmasking controversy, in which if it's played backwards, you can supposedly make out a satanic message:
"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the may queen. Yes there are two paths you can go by; but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on," some listeners claim to hear:
"Here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give those with him 666. There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."
You can listen for yourself at http://www.grooveshark.com/, if you enter 'Stairway to Heaven backwards'. How crazy would that be if the band really did go through all that trouble?
This second link tells me, basically, that the ungodly can be godly, personal beliefs can be irrelevant, and that religion and a belief in God is unnecessary for a community of believers to exist and do charitable work.
I am God. You may think I have a God complex. I do. But, in the words of Bob Marley, Almighty God is a living man. Jesus is dead. I, however, am alive. Kindness is my religion. God is a role to play, an identity. Maybe I AM. God is One, love, a man of war, and good. G-D just means go do good! What's love got to do with it? In the end, only kindness matters. I don't claim to be omni-anything. And no, I don't think I'm better than you. You're God, too.
