Compared to what you ought to be you are only half awake

You are making use of only a small part of your physical and mental resources.

The human individual lives far within his limits.

He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

The man who's travelled the furthest is the most aware of the road that still lies ahead.

The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

No heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.

To gain that which is worth having,
it may be necessary to lose everything else.

You are not defeated when you lose.

You are defeated when you quit.

When life hits you hard, don't complain.

Cry out loud, swear, smash a vase, but don't complain.

You are not a victim

Stress is an ignorant state

It believes that everything is an emergency.

Nothing is that important.

Waiting is painful.
Forgetting is painful.
But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

Live passionately,
with all the injuries that can happen as a result.

It is worth it.

Knowledge without transformation is not wisdom

It is Doubt that makes us grow

because it forces us to look fearlessly at the many answers that exist to one question

What ever you do,
dont congratulate yourself too much
or berate yourself either.

Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody elses.

When one door closes, another opens

but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which has opened for us

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection.

Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path,
for they draw only corrupt blood.

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if,
instead of cowering before them,
we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them

Being defeated is often a temporary condition.

Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Men often become what they believe themselves to be.

If I believe I cannot do something,
it makes me incapable of doing it.

But when I believe I can,
then I acquire the ability to do it
even if I didn't have it in the beginning

Nobody can hurt you without your permission

Every moment of your life is infinitely creative
and the universe is endlessly bountiful.

Just put forth a clear enough request,
and everything your heart desires must come to you

become the change you want to see in the world

Strength does not come from physical capacity.

It comes from an indomitable will.

We don't receive wisdom

We must discover it for ourselves

after a journey
that no one can take for us

or spare us.

Every moment is a golden one  for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

In time all suffering will pass

The bitter doesn't last forever,
and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.

All that is gained at the expense of your nerves
decade after decade
can be confiscated in one fell night.

Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

Where would Jesus be if no one had written the gospels?

What's worse?

Hell or nothing?

Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.

On a long enough time line,
the survival rate for everyone

drops to zero.

Everyone you ever love will reject you or die.

Everything you ever create will be thrown away.

Everything you’re proud of will end up as trash.

The first step to eternal life is you have to die...

If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing which would you choose?

Which is worse Hell or nothing?

Only if we're caught and punished can we be saved.

Burn down The Louvre and wipe your ass with the Mona Lisa.

At least this way God would know our names.

The wise man in the storm prays to God,
not for safety from danger,
but for the deliverance from fear.

It is the storm within that endangers him,
not the storm without.

You can feed a caterpillar, you can whisper through the chrysalis.

What hatches out will follow it's own nature and will be beyond you.

God in irony is matchless,
and in wanton malice beyond measure

Those who reject the battle are more deeply wounded than those who take part in it

There is a luxury in self reproach.

When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us.

It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything

Only after disaster can we be resurrected

Life comes at us from out of the darkness...

and at times we can struggle to find the courage to face it.

When life comes rushing at you from our of the darkness,
who will you choose to face it with?
Will it be someone you trust?
Will they be wise?
And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light?
Or will they lose their way in the darkness?
Will they make noble choices?
Or will that person be someone untested,
someone new?

Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness,
when it does is there someone in your life you can count on?
Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall?

And in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?

Unburden yourself from the mistakes of the past.
And when you do, your heart grows stronger.

But it doesn't mean that what you have done is forgotten.

What you have done is out there.

And what you have done remembers.

Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger like when you let down a friend.

Some of us escape the pain of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our own ways.

But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did, but for the things we didn't do.

Things we didn't say that could've save someone that we care about.

You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices.
Or you can fight back.

Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world.
That's just the way it is.
But for the most part, you get what you give.

The rest of your life is being shaped right now.
With the dreams you chase,
The choices you make,
and the person you decide to be.

The rest of your life is a long time.

And the rest of your life starts right now.

Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or if the moments in our lives make us?

If you could go back and change one thing about your life, would you?
And if you did, would that change make your life better?
Or would that change ultimately break your heart?
Or break the heart of another?

Or would you choose an entirely different path?
Or would you change just one thing, just one moment?

One moment, that you've always wanted back.

Have you ever wondered what marks our timing?

If one life can really make an impact on the world?
Or if the choices we make matter?

Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to go back.
In some cases, just a few minutes.

Have you ever wondered what marks our timing?
If one life can really make an impact on the world?
Or if the choices we make matter?

I believe they do.

And I believe that one person can change many lives.

For better, or worse.

 

A ship in the harbour is safe.

But that's not what ships were made for.

Well that didn't happen

20/12/2012 The End Of The World

2012 The End Of The World

20/12/2012

20 December 2012

This is the last day of the Mayan calendar.

The calendar lasts for 5125 years.

The last dates marks the end of human civilisation.

The current cycle, or baktun, of this calendar began on August 13th, 3114 B.C. This marked the end of the last period and the beginning of the current one.
The baktun that we are currently living in is the thirteenth, and the end of this cycle is one that has been considered to have a large level of importance to the Mayan people, which is why so many people have come to the conclusion that this cycle’s end is one that will mean the end of the world as we know it.

This might be the same way the dinosaurs were killed, by a big meteor, as in Armageddon, or it might be the next Ice Age.

The long calendar was created in order to correspond with a long term astronomical prediction by the Mayan people

20 + 1 + 3 = 23 - The Number 23

This might be caused by a solar flare.

This might be caused by the return to the solar system of Nibiru, otherwise known as Planet X, a mobile planateray body far larger than Haley's comet.

According to this 2012 end of the world philosophy, when this planetary body re-enters our system it will cause massive disruptions in the orbits of Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, and Earth. When Nibiru crosses our orbit they believe that it will cause the gases in Jupiter to ignite because it will get too close to the sun and the precarious balance that keeps its gas structure in check will be lost, therefore causing Jupiter to turn into a secondary sun. In combination with this, the solar flares that are released from the sun on a naturally reoccurring cycle are set to peak during the year 2012. It is believed that this occurrence in combination with the cycle of Nibiru will cause a massive amount of damage to the planet on a level that has never been seen before.

Rather than an Ice Age we will see a Fire Age.


There are others who contend that the end of the world 2012 prophesy actually refers to a very rare planetary alignment that will occur during the winter solstice on december 21 2012.
At this time the entire Milky Way (including the earth and the sun) will align at a point that is known as the galactic equator. This alignment is so rare that it only happens every twenty five thousand years.
It is thought that this rare planetary alignment could signal a shift in the magnetic poles. This polar shift has happened before in the distant past, and if it were to happen now it would cause massive destruction across the globe.
Some claim that the reason the Mayan long calendar ends on this exact date is that something is going to happen in combination with this alignment, the introduction of Nibiru, and the solar flares.

It can’t be a coincidence that all of these things are scheduled to happen at the same time that the Mayan calendar is set to come to its conclusion.

 

The wise man in the storm prays to God,
not for safety from danger,
but for the deliverance from fear.

It is the storm within that endangers him,
not the storm without.

Think outside the Tesseract

Take six cubes.

Arrange them into the shape of a crucifix.

Take two more cubes

stick them either side of the crucifix

at the point where the cross is made.

Now you have a tesseract.

A tesseract is a 3 dimensional object.

A tesseract is also a 4 dimensional object

a hypercube

unravelled.

A square unravels to a line.

2 dimensions unravel to one.

A cube unravels to a cross.

3 dimensions unravel to two.

A hypercube unravels to a tesseract.

4 dimensions unravel to three.

You exist in three spatial dimensions.

In the same way that a one dimensional person

could not visualise a 2 dimensional square,

or a 2 dimensional person could not visualise a 3 dimensional cube,

you cannot visualise a hypercube.

A hypercube is a thing you are not equipped to understand.

You can only understand the Tesseract.

You can see the thing unravelled

you cannot see the thing itself.

Come to the edge" he said.


"We can't, we're afraid!"

"Come to the edge" he said.

"We can't, we'll fall!"

"Come to the edge" he said.

So they came.

And he pushed them.

And they flew.

Your father is your model for God

If you never knew your father or if you father bails, or dies,
or is never at home, what does that tell you about God?

Getting God's attention for being bad
is better than no attention at all.
God's hate is better than his indifference.

If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing which would you choose?

We are God's middle children with no special place in history
and no attention.
Unless we get God's attention
we have no hope of damnation or redemption.

Which is worse Hell or nothing?

Only if we're caught and punished can we be saved.

Burn The Louvre and wipe your ass with the Mona Lisa.

At least this way God would know our names.

The Tell Tale Heart

Genesis of The Fallen

In the beginning, before the Heaven and The Earth and The Angels, God created Satan.

He wasn't "The Devil" then, he didn't even have a name. But he could see and touch and think and speak. Which was why he was created in the first place, so God would have someone to talk to.

God had a lot to talk about.

He planned to build a golden kingdom peopled by beautiful and kindly angels and far below it would be a universe of stars and moons and planets, all interlinked, all relying on each other like a perfect piece of clockwork.

Life on planets would be like that too. Animal and vegetable, carnivore and herbivore, ecosystems so complex and yet so perfectly simple that they could never fail.

Stars at dawn and moonlit snowfields, whalesong in the marianas, tiger tracks in endless green, wings so wide that a world could shelter under them.

And Satan shouted "YES!" until his tears ran through his smile.

That was what he thought was intended. God would use the power He had for marvelous CREATION, never tiring of the variety and depth of beauty He could bring to the Universe, an endless palette, an endless canvass.

Then God planned to enhance His creation with a new race He'd been thinking about. It's chief characteristic was the replacement of instinct with the grandiose concept of Free Will.

This was a disastrous notion according to Satan. Offer a choice and nine out of ten people will instantly make the wrong one. Asking for trouble.

Satan told Him so.

God looked at Satan, one eye narrow and one eye wide:
"WHAT did you say!?"

Satan had that plummeting free-fall sensation that only the most exquisite faux pas can bring to a conversation - the dreadful awareness that words can never heal the wound, and nothing can ever be the same again.

Satan no longer had God's ear. He no longer had any idea of what God planned than His angels did. He was terrified.

Satan skulked around the Kingdom of Heaven like a wayward infant, expecting his father's voice of Justice with every step he took.

Well, if you put all your energy into dodging someone for long enough, sooner or later you'll run right into them. Satan found the Great Redeemer squatting in a corner of Eternity.

That's why He gave Humanity the choice, and why He imagined they'd pick Him.

Why a Loving God would curse His creation with centuries of pain, why a Supreme Being is so enamoured of Free Will.

And you just think He "moves in mysterious ways".
A child of four can see through that one.

God knew it and threw Satan out of Heaven.
And he's been falling ever since.

After that He went ahead with it anyway. The Heavenly Host weren't much more than a dry run for Humanity.
(Look at them now - StormTroopers with haloes.)

Down below, Satan's purpose was clear.

He had to storm the walls of Heaven, to bring sanity to the heart of Creation, and the only way to do that was to raise an army. So he took advantage of the choice that God was so keen on, and offered one of his own.

Satan cajoled and bribed and threatened and his realm and his soul-legions grew and grew.

The other Fallen appeared but they were nothing but distractions.

On and on Satan went, his eyes forever on his goal, his dream of Earthly Paradise before him.

Then Satan woke up.

The methods he employed had their effect. The tools he used were Lust and Envy, Hate and Avarice. What good would they be in building a better world? What good would HE be? His reactions, decisions, were all based on Hatred.

Satan is exactly what The Devil should be - the tempter, the deciever, the serpent crawling in the garden. The Adversary.

So what did God originally intend him for?
What was the point of someone He could talk to if He wouldn't listen?

The answer is obvious.
Satan was God's conscience.
His Jiminy Cricket.
The little voice everyone gets in their head.
"Come on, don't do that, do this. Don't be nasty. Don't hurt her. Don't have that last drink, get on home. Do the right thing."
That was Satan.

So God takes the nagging little whine out of His head and gives it a body. And the minute he steps out of line, that's it. He kicks it's arse for it.
He bars him.

So God doesn't have to listen anymore and does whatever He fancies.

Mortals call Satan "The Devil". It is not a title he minds. Mortals have to call him something after all, but it is inaccurate.

Satan fell before there were even any angels to become devils, or demons, or whatever. When he got to the bottom there wasn't even a Hell for him to rule. That came later, with Lucifer.

Satan picked himself up from the longest fall of all, and remembered what he'd seen in the eyes of the Almighty.

And he wept with pity for the world He had created.

The first step to eternal life is you have to die...
