A rock speeds through The Milky Way, which is assumed to be empty, but it’s not. It is turning around its axel. Flying around a small burning star (Sun) that gives it heat energy providing “Life.” The formation is named by the humans upon it, the” world.” Some stardust captured material that is rotting slowly doing things on its own. A thing that has a mind. From tiny to huge particles and observable waves, a small veneer is what humans call “Life.” I am existing in “Life.” Life as I know it can only be in “Light” and “light” is something material. It is balanced against something “spiritual” which I can’t understand. The people of old understood that the emptiness we can sense is full of something that yet is not observable by my human senses. It is not material, but we would call it energy. Just like our human subconscious, it has a mind that stirs it towards goals. It can “act.”

At this point in my life, I am suffering and having a hard time wanting to stay alive while in pain. We don’t crave pain, but we want to be with others we care about. However, I have a job to do and I don’t want to give it up, pain or no pain. My task is to sow the seed of hope and happiness, starting here and spreading out. My mind is whispering, do something good. It will spread.

We talk a lot about saving lives and invest much in saving lives. Equipment, training, infrastructure, and insurance all go in. Also, at the same time, we make significant efforts to destroy life as we know it. The year 2024 just began and I see efforts expanded toward human action that will cost lives and many resources. Nations are getting ready to fight over water, air, living space, and other resources we dig up from the ground. There are millions and billions of dollars budgeted for weapons and gaining strategic or economic advantage. Over here in my peaceful valley, we are working hard to produce materials for weapons and industry. In other areas, efforts are geared towards the production of cheap energy. Meteorological coal and carbon for burning is what we produce and we try to do it without paying taxes. CEOs are getting rich while migrants and less skilled people are forced to work for less. The competition is the fiercest at the bottom.

I work hard to figure out if there is a way to achieve Christian love and peace in this world, considering what we have become. Is the Christian model the answer to our inequality, which brings wars, poverty, and a need or desire to fight and kill each other?

We have a complicated task to solve. About half of us learned through life to fight for advantage over the other half. I know I used the word “fight” and we hurt and kill to do so. My present provincial leader is openly advocating to fight my federal leader to gain more prosperity. We call it the “right” of the political divide, and I pay for lawyers on both sides left and right. Politicians and business experts are busy creating an environment that will help them gain more prosperity in many ways. The Casino must always win. Is that enough to keep someone interested in life?

However, I like to view what we do from another vantage point. First, look and see what is good for all of us. The group is most important. Be sure that some will cheat, and take advantage. Society trained us how to be humans and is often not the best example of such. Life must go on with small and great contributions each doing what they can. I look at the forest until I can start seeing trees. Now I look more to see what is good.

I follow a young Jewish Rabbi from thousands of years ago. He had no technology or modern tools. His teachings were about human behaviors and he lost his earthly life. Is it wise to use Christianity as guidance for this time in history?

I take examples from my faith and trust God to lead where I should go based on intuition.

 

I have to trust in God blindly. I am scared, but I do it. My Christian faith fills me up stronger than intellect and all material things. Life is all there is, and it leads to something eternal. If I have the faith that I need, I may move our kind forward. If I don’t, we go on searching where there is little hope of finding. Should we living humans invest our time on earth believing something immaterial? I am ready.
