Yes the image above is actually real, I didn’t make this up and it’s not from some movie set. Did you know that God is against drunkenness, sodomy and fornication? Well apparently these folks are in direct communication with the big guy up stairs. Oh and lets make no mistake about it… God is a man and he hates drunks, homosexuals and people who have sex before going to church or city hall to sign a piece of paper!

As you can probably tell I’m trying to make light of the above ignorance with humor. Sadly the fact of the matter is there isn’t really anything funny about kids in the middle of New York streets brainwashed repeating what their ignorant parents program them to say.

Instead of me feeding into the frenzy of hate, ignorance and fear lets examine what it is we think fornication is. I’ll start by checking out what the dictionary says.

So that’s what the dictionary says, basically sex between two unmarried people is what is called fornication. It’s too bad the definition for fornication in reality means much more than a sentence in the dictionary.

If an Alien came here from another planet looked up fornication in the dictionary it would probably seem like any other explanation for any given word. You and I both know (in the real world) fornication implies much more than a person who had sex with another person out of wedlock.

In the real world if you have sex with someone out of wedlock not only are you a fornicator but you are a sinner, deviant, lost soul and you’re going straight to hell. Let us not forget if you are a gay man or lesbian… you’ve struck sinner gold! You’re going to the really hot version of hell that’s even worse than the regular hell full of non-believers, abortion doctors, AIDS victims and Osama Bin Laden.

It’s mind blowing to think that there are people in the world who absolutely believe without a doubt, a couple who has a one night stand or lovers who have been together for years out of wedlock are going to the same fiery hell (assuming there is a hell) that Osama Bin Laden and Hitler reside.

What do you believe?

I don’t know what you believe but here’s what I know. I know my beliefs have nothing to do with fornication because I don’t have any beliefs about fornication to begin with, unless you’re a parent why should anyone?

Without sounding like I’m holier than thou, if you do judge others for their sex life perhaps you should examine more closely your feelings about your beliefs. What gives you the right or authority to judge anyone?

It’s not often that I quote the Bible but to make a point I’ll use these old (interpreted) words from history to illustrate a point.

So let us play this game and assume there is a man in the skies above and he’s keeping count of what we do, blessing us with the gift of “sin”. So assuming we can in fact sin, even so… what gives any of us the right to judge, remark or shun others for so called sinning?

I think all the Muslims, Jews, Christians and any other group who subscribe to living a life judging others… it’s high time you live your life with compassion and love rather than fear and loathing.

Are you kidding me right now? We still live in a world where people are judging each other for who they sleep with, how they sleep with them and if they did it with a signed piece of paper or not. If the end times are near, the end won’t come by the hand of god but by the mouth of modern day church goers who ignorantly and insidiously perpetuate fear and hate.

In the name of God, all those who delegate the smallest fraction of time, energy and effort to smite those who do what they will with their sex lives… please reconsider your actions.

I ask you on behalf of the whole of humanity to reconsider your beliefs and actions, whether you know it or not YOU are destroying this world with fear.

Are you in love or fear?

What is it to love your fellow man? Does love have anything to do with hate, judgment, or sin? I highly doubt it. Love is all encompassing all embracing and the end all be all of this universe.

Love is what binds us, love is what holds this world together and any personal emotion, aggression or movement away from that love is not in praise of God, Jehovah, Allah, Jah, Christ or Zues but a ignorant action that comes from a human being who’s not living a life of love and compassion.

Love is God my friends, love is what it’s all about. The next time you find yourself judging someone for living their life the way God intended them to, check yourself and remember you’re not loving.

If you want, you can even insert WWDJ, (what would Jesus do) instead of… am I being a loving person. I can assure you from what I’ve read of  Jesus, he would not judge anyone for anything and if he were alive today he’d tell you to do the same thing.

Ready to get your Zen on?

I’m not asking or calling all people to start subscribing to the school of Zen that would be redundant as all labels and religions are divisive and separate you and I from our fellow man.

What I am asking of us all is to apply some Zen to your life, a.k.a. mindfulness. If we could only observe and be mindful of ourselves completely in our daily lives then perhaps there would be more love in the world and less fear.

Knowing that God is love and love is all there truly is, is there any room in our lives to judge one another? If we can remember moment by moment in our daily lives that God has nothing to do with fear, judgment or sin then we can be godly.

So the next time you go to quote the Bible, Kuran, Old Testament, Upanishads or Bhagavad Gita remember none of that has anything to do with what is actually going on at the moment. All of those books and scriptures are of the past and we’re not living in the past, you and I are pledging to live in the moment… right here right now.

If you and I can be in the present moment when we are making breakfast, gossiping with friends, gathered around the water cooler at work or listening to the reverend at church anything that we think or any words that come out of our mouths will be from a place of love not fear.

If we can start to live our lives individually in the moment and our thoughts and words are of love not fear… think of the reality we can manifest.

Absolute peace in this world is 100% possible. I don’t care if you’ve been spoon fed whatever religion you’re currently subscribing to WE HUMAN BEINGS are ready to move beyond the fear of conditioning and child programming… we’re ready for heaven on earth.

Let’s be the change we want to see in the world. No more gossip, no more back biting, no more living in the shadow of dogma and fear.

I have tremendous faith in mankind but “my faith” in mankind is useless and meaningless. Faith, beliefs and words mean absolutely nothing but we’ve been conditioned to put a tremendous amount importance in all the above.

I’m asking you to look at what our faith, beliefs, words and thoughts have manifest in the world we live in today. Don’t take my word for it… you owe it to yourself and the rest of the world to seriously examine all of this quietly and deeply.

If we are to ever live in a world where there is peace, no wars and we all have food and shelter we must all do our part as individuals to make that world a reality. We need to move past all the ideas about peace, love and happiness and start living it.

Let us put down our holy books and scriptures. Let us stop talking about what the past says we should do in the future. Let us live in the moment where love resides and from that sacred place let our thoughts and actions manifest the revolution of universal unconditional love and peace.

The following video is one of my personal new favorites. Being a big fan of Macintosh computers its nice to see the man steering the companies ship has such a good and inspirational outlook on life.

“No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

If you take anything from this video, if you only hear only one thing, hear the importance of steve’s message… don’t be trapped by the past. Whatever pattern or way of living that you’re stuck in right now, let it go. There can be peace and happiness in the world but it won’t come about by any means we’ve tried to date.

Don’t let the past be a burden, let it go and LIVE today like it was you last day.

Peace and Love.

The world and all of its inhabitants are at a critical juncture right now. We are living our daily lives on this beautiful blue planet in the midst of the deep, dark vastness of cold space. Such a fortunate chain of events to be here typing on this keyboard communicating with potentially anyone in the world.

Is this really happening right now or am I the only one who sees how unbelievably amazing this life really is?

If any of us walk outside and just notice the smallest blade of grass it has so many complex and fascinating functions going on, how did this come to be? From a blade of grass to a bumble bee and forest full of Red Wood trees, there is amazement and “the impossible” all around us yet none of us seem to take any notice.

Have we become so conditioned and desensitized that the oceans, skies and green earth have no significance anymore? All of us the entire world is looking to the horizon for bigger and better things, a new car, a new house, fancy clothes and for what?

We’ve taken refuge in the shallow materialistic illusions that are spoon fed to us daily via the internet, magazines and television. Is anyone else out there wondering… where is all this going, how much longer can we keep this facade up?

What is our purpose, its not to accumulate wealth, iPhones, Gucci purses, Rolex watches, etc. These things can’t really be the reason all the stars in this galaxy are in the exact right place for you and I to be breathing!

We all have a purpose on this earth but it seems as though year by year with each new software upgrade and American Idol superstar we are getting further and further away from any kind of purpose at all.

Can’t we see how unbelievably fortunate we are to be alive? Not only are we alive but we’re conscious of this… WOW! Think of all the things that had to happen in the universe in order for you to be sitting there right now reading this blog post! Are you kidding me, this is quite literally a miracle only we’re living like its not.

If we truly lived the miracle would there be war, hunger… shopping malls?

Why are we living such shallow lives when there are deep oceans of discovery and love available to us? We have been bestowed the most precious gift in the universe this planet and the privilege to live consciously but all we want to do is war and battle as to how it all came into existence. Why are we so focused on spreading the “good word” (speculation) of how this earth came to be? Why are we dwelling and guessing on the past when we have everything we need RIGHT NOW?

For me to keep my sanity I’ve got to believe that people really don’t believe what they’re reading when they open a Bible, Quran, Torah or any other book of this nature.

The survival of humanity is not in any book and its certainly not in a church but it is in your neighbors eyes. Look at your fellow man, brother and sister… look right in their eyes. Can you not see yourself looking right back? We all have the same fears and anxieties, the collective consciousness is alive. We need to connect with one another not tell each other how it is and how its going to be. None of us know ‘absolute truth’ and all the pointing to the sky, idol worshiping or putting faith in other men will ever bring peace or satisfy the mind.

We’ve lost touch with one another, we need to wake up! The truth isn’t out there somewhere, its not in next years promotion at your job, the truth isn’t in a new pair of shoes or wrapped in a present under a tree.

The truth is all around us always has been so lets start living like it. Wake up, wake up the people around you, wake up your family, get off the maintenance program and unplug. The whole world needs fixing but you can start with yourself right now. If you belong to a church look at it for what it is… separation from the rest of us. If you truly want peace in the world then you must realize that it isn’t possible in a world of US and THEM.

A world where there are Jews, Christians, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhist, Amish, etc., there will never be peace… how could there be? One might say, well you don’t have to believe what I believe I will still love you but that is the furthest thing from the truth. The religions of the world don’t love one another they tolerate one another at best. Tolerance is not love, love is healing and manifest beauty and bliss as tolerance breeds insecurity, armies and war.

Are you really ready for the truth? Well if you are get out there and find out for yourself! If you search your feelings and are honest with yourself you’ll come to see as I have attaching a label to yourself, wearing a cross or star of David around your neck has nothing to do with the truth but everything to do with… what you’ve been told.

Don’t do what you’ve been told since you where born, don’t do what they tell you to do on television… find out what the truth is for yourself. Please find out what the truth is for the sake of the world.

Peace, Love and Happiness!

This short video tells the story of a young boy who felt it necessary to sacrifice a frog so that the other frogs would have a savior to look to. The video is well done with simple narration and a plucky soundtrack, one thing is for sure you’ll definitely have an opinion about it so let us know what you think.

Peace, Love and Happiness!
