What God Wants con't

I have to address this topic once again, what god wants- is nothing...absolutely nothing but to give us all the opportunity to experience life. I am not going to get in depth as I addressed this previously in another blog. I addressed it through my Favourite author of all time (Neale Donald Waslch) and his book "WHAT GOD WANTS" .... but this time I'm here to write about a second book from him called "HOME WITH GOD"... he has multiple series of this book which continue on conversations with god in attempt to aid us all from continuosly retsraining ourselves from being happy and allowing us to stay on track in life.

This book really brought me to the core of my being, to my pure soul, to bring me closer to God than I have ever been, because I am closer to understanding who I really am at the core of my being and that is God, as God lives within me, infact God is me elaboratively speaking.


We all must come to understand that we are never condemned or not loved by the Devine no matter what we have done. God will always love us. And much of what we condemn ourselves for, anything in life has, to do with the simple fact that we do not feel worthy of God. Even those who dont believe in God at all experience this through a subconcious level because the core of our being, which is god is also our concious.... and any guilt, shame, hurt, misunderstanding that thrives from our concious is also the same place where the exact opposite of that can flourish. As souls made into physical human beings at birth, we choose everything in life... infact we choose our life and when we want to live, wat experiences we want induce, what family we want to be enriched with, and much more in fact we even choose our own death... it is very hard to loosely state this without having to read the book to understand it more precisely. But I can assure you all that if you do go out and get this book, you will no longer quetsion my statement. Life is a big question mark indeed... but thats what our soul purpose came here to figure out. And God is with you throughout it all, the good the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.

The book changed my life, Yet im still learning each day and struggling with things and as I do, one thing keeps me on track and moving forward. one simple thought keeps me focused, and I too have many struggles staying persistent. But here it is, everyting that happens in life is meant to be, and that phrase means more than it ever did after reading this book, and I musn't look into the past as it is an illusion and an experience, nothing more nothing less... life can only go one from one point and that one point is Now. We must live in the now, and understand that now is where your happiness manifests from. And Now is who you are not yesterday or even tomorrow. But NOW.

The Optimist

I got a book today while I was out with my friend in which she told me to get.... it's called the Optimist, by Laurence Shorter. I must give you credit S.! you suggested a very appealing book!... I'm already liking it alot as it connects with the reality of life and crises.


This book has to do with the overwhelming amount of pessimists we have today and the connection to what goes on around us constantly!.... We are constantly skewed by the media, news papers or the news in such a way that leaves us all helpless and accepting of the catastrophes of the world down to the mere ability to help ourselves individually through career paths, families etc. This book elaborates on how the media really does exaggerate many of the worlds crises' from global warming down to local criminal happenings. The news makes partial truths, emphasizes many things and then emulates fear and anxiety in mass amounts! taregetting us... the public... Laurence Shorter sets out as a journalist and combats these issues. He argues that there is an overwhemling amount of pessimists and in turn, we all cannot leap away from negative beliefs and suffice to say, we create the uninevitable. I say uninevitable because we can make a difference but we overly trust false reports, false accusations and act as puppets and not the puppeteer. Take it from Laurence Shorter! He is an ex BBC reporter... infact take it from the many authorities he interviews.... There is a better future! we just need to know which people to trust... which people are pessimists in sheeps clothing. Laurence Shorter manages to find many of those people who say they are optimists but totally render to the fact that the world is going down a slippery slope. How can these people call themselves optimist? just because you accept something without questioning it and worrying over it doesnt mean your an optimist. As a civilization, we don't need to look foward and paint a picture so grim... and once we see that this world will keep turning and that every crises out there can be managed if we just take initiative, then we can get our own lives back on track and set fourth into a better tomorrow. He wants to challenge, reporters, scientists, politicians, and the media... so that things can get done properly. It is possible, and I know Laurence Shorter is right... It is possible, its just that, we need everyone to stop trusting in positivist science so much and really take a stance!... realise that what we hear and see in the media is controlled and those in control, have their own agenda... they will help enough to keep the world turning, but they will havoc over society to get to their own means and measures.. things I can go on and on to mention... but, nonetheless, the Books brilliant, I suggest it!

Love You Forever

A Child Hood Book my Mom read to me through and through. I loved this Story


by Robert Munsch



A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him, she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:


I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!



But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo!

But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town. But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,I'll like you for always,As long as I'm livingmy baby you'll be.

Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song.

She sang:

I'll love you forever,I'll like you for always...



But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my Mommy you'll be.



When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping. He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

Your Will For You is God's Will For You

From one of the greatest books of all time. A book that releases all your worries. Tells you that everything will be okay. And that God the only one we all strive for acceptance by at the end of the road, will love you NO MATTER WHAT.

From the book What God Wants by Neal Donald Walsch. Short and inspiring. Short and enlightening. Short and extremely sweet if we can accept that we are all put on this Earth for nothing, absolutely nothing but for ourselves, God wants us to love ourselves.

We have been told from generations upon generations what God wants from us and it was simply that we follow a guide and to love him and only Him. To not bare false witness, to worship him and use this world as a place of suffering so that He see our suffering for him and reserve a place in heaven. I can go on forever. But have we ever stopped to think about this...

Think about this,

Perhaps God does not want something from Humans, But exists only to give something to Humans and perhaps what God wants to give to Humans is exactly what humans truly want in life. Nothing more and nothing less but to just live willfully o.f yourself

Wouldn't That be interesting....


Wouldn't that just change the course of theology? wouldn't that just step on every political ideologists toes, wouldn't that truly and really make us all one?

Wouldn't that make a difference...


I think so.



ONE thing to ponder about,

I go to University and study Politics and Health. And so many times I have been asked and we have discussed what societies issues are. What causes all the problems from poor health, inadequate food supplies, war, terrorism, every problem you can possibly name. I have heard its a Political problem, a social problem, an economical problem to name a few, and I have too stated these problems, Yet nothing has ever been changed, we are continually repeating history just in different ways. Maybe physical war has died down, but we fight and struggle for our lives everyday when it comes to living rich and living poor. Have we ever even uttered the words that it is a Spiritual Problem? maybe if we got right to the very point of our salvation and our first thoughts that there is a God we could figure out what has seggrogated us all..

If we opened our eyes to see that since we believe we are all right about our religions, and fought constantly to gain power withing our religions, and then it moved to social factors, then to political and then to economical... would'nt we all think that this is primarily the cause of all our problems?

I know so,

We have structured our lives over three dominant religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

they have fought for generations upon generations to gain power and we all ignore its struggle because we feel this is what God wants. I am right because I am Christian, they are wrong because they aren't. The power goes to me.

Do we not all believe that God exist?

Here is what I believe, WE ALL ARE RIGHT. ALL OF US. We pose good judgments about God in all of our religious scriptures to SOME extent. We mention that God is loving, merciful, and forgiving. We innately know that God wants happiness. But structures and limits within each religion stir our beliefs away from one another. We all believe that WE ARE THE TRUTH, do not mix with unbelievers, do not understand them for they are ungrateful and wrong. This is the downfall, this is where we all divide and feel hostility and thus, our structures thrive and not allow us to live freely and willingly as God would have it.

What happened to God is all loving? We all have read this and heard this about God plenty. SO why would he condemn us for our confusion in life, our struggle, our strive to survive? He would never condemn us, we do that to ourselves everyday. We do it because of all the social, economical, political problems around us. Primarily because of spiritual issues.

I will leave of with this, from the book What God Wants Walsch states, If God were to come down to earth today to say one thing... I think it would be...

"You guys have me all Wrong".
