MY THOUGHTS

The mind is the thought & soul's greatest corrupter. People will believe what they want to in order to feel safe or complete, trying to believe in something like ghosts or a tricky religion can be difficult but I believe that from a young age we are told things that do not keep are minds open to the way other people think we do not understand what it is like to be someone else with a different religion or race. What I believe is that the things we are told to believe to make us feel safe are strange, I believe that to truly live is to be afraid of the unknown not to acknowledge it and not to make it into a lie to make us feel better. Every word spoken by every person is a lie in its own format; for example, "I don't believe in ghosts." No, you don't know what a ghost is; it, in a logic format is "A mere shadow." Now, do you believe in shadows? An area obscured by light creating a dark area, a shadow. A definition for a word is not what I am truly referring to; more, the definition in your mind that is to be uncovered; or, to learn. This philosophy technique is to learn the truth in your mind by weighing options, look in to other views, perspectives, shed light on the subject that intrigues you.
I believe that 85 percent of Americans don't look past what their mind wants them to know; for example, if someone close to us dies and we need closure what do we do... we start to look deep, deeper then we normally overlook connections to everyday life. We want to think that the person can reach down from heaven and motion that everything will be alright, maybe that is true but Christianity, the bible, describes sins and that if we sin we go to Hell. According to the way everyone lives within the first week of our lives we have sinned so; that would mean that every living person goes to Hell. But maybe our lives, earth, is Hell and there is something better waiting...Maybe Heaven is our unconscious mind after we die, maybe life is heaven we just need to know how to live correctly. I don't know what it is. Deep down no one knows, we just think we do. I don't know. I only give the world more ideas to process through their mind; I am a scholar, and so are you. Begin to think. Thinking of such things does not corrupt your religion it only widens our train of thought, after all, religion is about thinking, life is about thinking, thinking is beautiful and free. Cut loose the tethers of your tied mind and let it breathe, breathe free thoughts, breathe free air through you lungs. This world is completely overlooked, don't miss use what you have. Don't let the world and its tethered thinkers corrupt your beautiful mind. Be free; because, your mind is the only thing that you can control and use for your own benefit.
Smart words to live by: You don't know what you got till it's gone. TRUE; although, some things are better once they've gone.

Love, Peace, & Happiness,

  1. I disagree that you have to think to breathe as breathing is autonomic. Paying attention to my breathing helps calm my monkey mind.

    I think you will enjoy your first philsophy class and learning to question the nature of things and ideas.
