Perfect World?

Sometimes it is easier for me to get an idea across by asking a general question and simply answering it (I try to simply answer it):

What is your idea of a perfect world? Why do you feel this way?

Words play a very key roll in the world. Words are our way of communicating with one another and sharing our perspectives in this experience that we call life. However words can sometimes become obstacles as each persons experience with that word can change from one thing to another. For instance the idea of Good and Bad; a dictionary can only go so far in describing the ideology of what is a Good thing and what is a Bad thing. In the same sense Perfection is also a perceptual idea in that the definition of Perfect will be different to each person and their experience.

It could be argued that there is no such thing as a perfect world because at the point you have reached perfection perfection will take another embodiment deeming what was once perfect as simply ordinary. The idea of a perfect world for me reflects on the idea that people can live with the differences of others and accept that Muslims pray the way they do for a reason the same way Christians worship the way they do and Jews believe what they believe. These are things that must be accepted. Not accepted as it would be now, where people simply deal with what happens, although bothered by the situation they deal with it until they no longer can and burst with all the anxiety and malice that has possibly been engulfing them for years. My idea of accepting is far more pronounced then that.

You can simply accept an idea; sometimes coming in the form of comments that people may say while passing by, accepting things in the manner is, for me, the opposite of taking it personally. There are , however, some issues that many of us cannot simply consider and scuff away. Issues like Gay Marriage, Abortion, Terrorism, Government...

I love debating these issues with people, I like gathering people around and having a healthy conversation of what they like and dislike about these current events (2008) and why they think they like and dislike them. My form of accepting is first trying to understand the idea, the concept, the reasons that people do what they do. As soon as you look into it I start understanding it from both sides its then that it becomes easier to deal with. There is no more contempt, no more malice towards the idea or situation. It has been my observations and through my studies that I have truly understood where these feelings of contempt and frustration come from, a lack of understanding and therefore fear.

It is a common practice and a natural instinct to fear what you do not understand, from death to Hasbalah but if we understand we can then accept what life or these groups are really trying to do.

A world full of understanding and open-minded people is my idea of the perfect world and I am more than happy to lead by example...

Writers Block Questions Answered!

What is your greatest accomplishment? What was the journey to get there? Was the Question posted to me at my LiveJournal web blog, and so I decided that I wanted to share it here as this is more of my public blog and that more my private diary :-D Enjoy Let me know what you think! Its hard to say what might greatest accomplishment was or is. I see everything I do as accomplishing something. Even the littlest things I count as an accomplishment. I think every journey starts with a questions or a urning to know. This is probably what makes humans different from any other animal and more conscious than anything else on this planet. When we ask a question we look for an answer and we will not stop looking for that answer until we find it. We refuse to limit ourselves by our surroundings; in fact humans seem more evolved because like other creatures the only thing holding us back from any possibility is ourselves. Be Inspired -Markus

Another Dollar, another day

I've been tired the last few days. I've just been wanting to get through the day and its been so hard to look up and around at all the great stuff going on. I understand now why some people can live their whole lives sad, confused and upset. I've been doing it without even realizing it. I'm worried about several things including money, wellness and friends but I should know better!

Today I will go to the mall and shop, not really, but do a little window shopping. I need to put myself back in a state of mental happiness and get the idea of "money comes swiftly and easily into my life"! I read that if you put a $100 in your pocket and then go out shopping not spending that $100 dollars right away but rather feelings the awesomeness of just "knowing" you could by anything you came across instantly raises your energy levels. Thats really what I need right now. Its going to be awesome and fun!! I also know that it will solve most of my problems; money, wellness and friends. I'll have and be able to spend a little money (even if only in my mind) and I'll also put my body in a state of wellness and happiness which will boost my immune system and my problem currently with my friends is that I'm trying to get a little alone time so that will be perfect!!

Wish me Luck!

Trapped?

Have you ever felt trapped? Stuck in the place you are because the idea of moving away is to traumatic or to dark to see what could happen next.
So you are here and you are stuck because you don't feel you can move on but you want to. If you enjoyed your surroundings and the situations you experienced (and I promise you, people do love their lives) you wouldn't want to move on from them and you probably won't. But then there are the people who are miserable who are sad and who should move on albeit the lack of faith stands in their way. Perhaps they have to much faith; hoping that one day the situation they are in will revert back to how it used to be, but is it healthy to stay in a situation like that, one of discord and stress?
We talk about "could of, would've, should've" and those are easy distinctions compared to the sometimes over bearing idea of "what can be"
There is no one that can tell you what to do, no one that can truly predict the future. People will help us and people will offer their advice but in the end it will be up to us to act on it and if we choose not to then it may not happen.

But for the record no one deserves to be unhappy, despite anything they've done in their lives. Sometimes the things we do are wrong in the eyes of other people and we have to accept that, but we all should accept ourselves and the things about us that people don't always admire.
Don't be afraid to be happy, don't let yourself be guarded by your comfort when your comfort is the one tormenting you with its subtle problems that you have grown accustomed to having and therefore, knowing whats going to happen next you take what is given to you and ask no more. There is so much more though!! You can do anything that you want and there is nothing stopping you but you. Imagine your life without limits and if you can picture yourself doing something other than what you are doing now then you have bigger things in store for yourself and you should stop holding yourself back.

Always on my mind

Sometimes it takes time but in this case it doesn't.
Time is just an idea that we presume exist but when we really examine our world we realize it isn't anything but a concept of understanding.
I am there and you are here and there is no way to prove the contrary because time being nonexistent allows for the past, present and future to be one in the same.

Physically we might be considered to be apart.
But think about this: What is it to be physical?
Is the world around us not an interpretation of our sense, and what is it exactly that we are sensing?
A dream could and can be as real as the world we presume is real when we are awake and so is it the physical world that is separating us or my interpretation of the real world that is or is it my mind that is separating us.
Having better control over my mind would I be able to unite with you, even if just in my mind...I guess you could say we are truly inseparable as long as you're on my mind and you're always on my mind!!

Releiving Thoughts- Feeling Better

You know I can't find an absolute reason for the existence of the Universe.
As far as my philosophical understanding goes I think I'm pretty well set and well on my way to understanding how and what the universe is for.
Scientifically speaking I'm at a lost. Maybe because I don't quite understand everything there is to know, I pick up and read what I can. But even in theory I come up with blanks. I have to set myself into the mind of the common scientist.
To them the world consists of atoms, then molecules then organisms...The consciousness that we experience: our thought process, imagination, concept of spiritual uplifting are chemical signals firing in our brains causing specific hormones or imbalances to trigger to make us feel and think the way we do.

I've always wanted to connect the spiritual and the scientific together. Not the way religious orders or radical idealist try to, quoting out of context and slandering the very observations being made. In a logical world everything should fit.

Spiritual ideas:
I believe everything happens for a reason, which is why scientist will always understand anything and everything that religion has been trying to explain for thousands of years, from evolution, to aura's to prayer.

Will science ever find a reason for the purpose of the Universe? Why did the Big Bang take place? What was here before it?

The overall thought in my mind is:
Is our purpose the same as the animals that came before us? To reproduce and continue our species? Are the ideas of God and the Afterlife simply ideas that we have created to prepare us for what is coming or simple to hide the idea that nothing is? Is our purpose to waste a way living lives that are pointless because the only thing we have to truly look forward to is the demolecularization and reincarnation into atomic mass to possibly be reborn as a star or planet?!

I don't think so. I've experience so many different thing in my short life time that proves to me beyond doubt that there is much more to come. There are miracles, there are inspired speeches and metaphysical insight. If there wasn't some form of consciousness beyond this plane of existence than what are all these messages coming through for?

You look left and you look right and you hear and see people talking about the point of life and the point of life makes so much sense!

You're here to live so that you may learn and understand through negative experience. At some point you will have accomplished enlightenment which will give you the ability to pass back into that which you came, personally I call it the Higher Consciousness you may call it whatever you like. The point is there is a point!! Life matters and Ghost are recognize as real things and psychics are understandable because there is purpose there is life after life.

I have many friends who will debate this to the end of their days. I personally would enjoy the conversation until then especially if I had nothing to live for like they do (no hard feelings toward them) but sooner or later we would run out of evidence that there is more to life than what meets the eye because I wouldn't have experienced any more new info to make an argument.

Experience is what it is all about, if there was not purpose would I be reasoning the ideas of the Universe, why is that Humans are so intelligent they can reason these ideas, what made our minds evolve? What force of intention gave our ancestor's genes the need to try something new, to rearrange in this way to form this particular brain structure?! Why humans and no other mammal? Why humans and no other animal? Why are we something else? Why, why, why, why!!

I'm sorry I'm rambling but I'm getting a lot of things out of my head...I feel better though :-D
