Hey! How are you doing today? I hope all is well and if not, I hope things will get better.
So I want to quickly type out my thoughts and events that occurred today. Today I've been watching quite a bit of content centering around the afterlife and past life regression, so it's been a bit of a rollercoaster of sadness to happiness for me lol
Now I'm watching a woman talk about a conversation she had with God and immediately when she spoke about God feeling sad for humankind I immediately became very sad and wanted to cry. It made me think back to a time when I was in college, sitting at a window and just gazing down at the students and I just felt very sad. I apologized to mankind.
It's a similar feeling I got while attempting to read the bible. It's not that I'm not excited about the lessons contained in it, I just can't do it. When I think about Jesus, or any other significant figure who contributed so much time and effort to humankind, only to feel as if it only left a dent, it makes me feel sad. Yet, I think the sadness goes beyond this.
So that's one thing. The other was a name that popped into my head. It started with an A and I didn't even attempt to write it down lol My first thought was "I can barely read the names in Greek mythology, let alone whatever that name was." So now it's slipped my mind and I don't even recall what it was.
But after a shower and just thinking random thoughts in regards to everything, the name Prometheus came to mind. I was surprisingly able to spell this name. I know I've heard of the name before, but I don't recall who this is. Turns out it's a God from the Greek religion.
So I'm currently reading the first article that stuck out to me when I looked up the name, and a very interesting phrase immediately stood out to me:
". As the price of fire, and as punishment for humankind in general, Zeus created the woman Pandora and sent her down to Epimetheus (Hindsight), who, though warned by Prometheus, married her. Pandora took the great lid off the jar she carried, and evils, hard work, and disease flew out to plague humanity. Hope alone remained within."
This is interesting. Here is the link:

In regards to humans and life in general, I do feel a happiness and a hopefulness, yet I also feel a bit of sadness and sometimes frustration and despair. A part of me understands a lot of what happens here is due to our own doings, that things don't just appear from nowhere. They start from somewhere and ripple out into the world and this ripple can affect other people. That is the part that saddens me the most.
Oh! Before I go on, the woman who received lessons from God said something that stood out to me and I thought I should share it, as I've felt that sharing any of my thoughts or feelings with some people can seem futile. She said he told her that every individual (every living soul at this current moment) is given a special gift by him, and it's up to them to receive that gift from him.
I started to think that it's an interesting thing to hear, mostly because in the past I have heard people say that felt like they had no talent or anything to offer. Yet, I would always respond "I'm sure you do!" but I don't know what their talents or gifts are. It's always my assumption that each and every person on this earth as a purpose but that the problem is we perceive that our purpose must come from our society and others.
I believe mines is my speaking. I speak very strongly, but I also feel just as strong. I remember being young and feeling frustrated that I was a child and couldn't wait to get older simply so people would actually listen to me! haha This was literally my thoughts. The issue with me is sharing this information, I don't feel it's ever anything I should be making money from. I also feel the same about my art. My thought is this, that my ideas and my images will always be unique and special from me, something that no one else can recreate, because no one else in in my head but me.
So I guess art and speaking are my strong suits.
Another interesting thing she was shown was her life review (please look this up if you're interested, life review metaphysics). The first review he showed her were all the important things from her life, getting married, having kids, etc. Then he showed her a second life review, the things he thought were important in her life, and in it she saw her doing things for others, caring for abandoned animals, showing compassion and love.
This struck me, and it seemed to have impacted her as well, because she stated that the first life review was based on what society deemed to be important!
She then stated that he told her that the most important thing in life is love. LOVE.
I don't think we need to be constantly reminded of this, but we have had so many figures in life fight for injustice and preach love and togetherness! And this is where my issue lies (it's also something I've been sharing with a dear friend of mines). In regards to the thousands and thousands of years we have been on this earth, I do feel like we're finally getting it, but it's a slow SLOW process.
If we take away time, and evaluate things without it being a factor, I would see it as a room constantly being filled with a mess of things simply floating around haha And ever so often you'll have a considerate, passionate soul step in to start doing the cleaning, only to leave and have the room be filled with more of a mess on top of the small amount of mess left behind.
Well I'm sure you can imagine that if we remove time from the equation, the room will fill with or without time. The issue is of doing something to fix the mess and keeping it clean. Knowing where such-and-such item belongs and keeping it there. So hate, is it necessary for us? No. It CAN exist, but it's how we choose to deal with it and how we choose to express it (healthy or unhealthy...think Ying and Yang). So hate, it goes on a bookshelf. A book that we know is there, but that we don't need to pick up unless we simply want to examine it.
Another issue I have is how all of this chaos effects the planet. I love Earth! It's such a beautiful planet. I may not be an activist fighting to preserve this planet, but I can understand why some people choose to fight for it. Anyway, this chaos can cause this planet pain as well. To even look at Earth as if it is not living would be a foolish thing to do. Simply look at the things growing from it, and it's very much alive, so this planet is very much alive. To abuse it would be similar to abusing one's home...or each other...Hm...I guess I'm seeing a pattern haha I'm being sarcastic btw
I think, if there is anything I share today that I wish people would take with them, is throughout the day, remember that you can make a difference through your gestures of love and compassion. If everyone on Earth simply came to this exact same thought, everything would simply stop. If everyone decided I will love and show compassion for the person standing next to me, regardless of their beliefs or what they look like, everything would simply stop.
As far as our economy and the way things are structured, this would need to be adjusted. I don't think scarping everything upfront would help, things would blow up. No, I think it should be similar to something I once read (I think the book was called A conversation with God...the title just came to mind. The book is simply white and very basic), it said something like work from the foundation up. Pretty much it was stating that we would have to readjust. But you have to understand, this is years and years of thinking a certain way (humans I mean), years and years of believing a certain way of living in necessary.
But I will take something that is simple and share it. Take currency. Once it was common to trade animals for goods, right? Then it became labor for goods. Now it's still labor for goods lol And this has been happening even since Ancient Egypt. I'm guessing this is why we're having people come into life trying to push the idea of robots. Yet, even with this it truly matters the purpose of these robots. How ill humans use them and will they abuse them? Are we using them for the right reason or are we using them to make people lazy and ineffective? Intent is important....this is freewill. One of life's greatest gifts, yet also something of great responsibility that some fail to truly understand.
