Religion - It's not what you think it is.
It's all about control. Religions are structures put in place in Babylonian times by the Anunnaki in order to control humanity. All religions are inherently evil. They have nothing to do with God, and vice-versa. Every religion has the same source. Protestants only think they are different from Catholics. Baptists only think they are different from Seventh Day Adventists.
It's all about control. The Anunnaki understand energy. They understand how fear imposes an energy imbalance in human beings which causes disease. Their religions are designed to promote fear and anxiety in us. Genesis was written by Levitical priests while in Babylonian captivity. For information on the source of religions I recommend the thoroughly researched books by David Icke.
It's all about control. If you truly believe that God is male then you have fallen for just one of the evils that religion presents. In one of the Gnostic Gospels, Jesus is reported to have said, when going over the Laws of Moses, "Honor your Father and Mother God so that all will be well with you.". "It was only at the Council of Trent in 1545 that the Catholic Church officially agreed that women had souls and then by only a majority of three votes!" (The Biggest Secret - David Icke).
It's all about control. The Christian Bible is not the revealed word of God and there is nothing "Holy" about it. It is a well crafted and much edited collection of writings selected by the Roman Catholic Church to present specific points of view designed to control the activities and thought processes of humanity. The fact that protestant churches use a "version" of it doesn't change anything. The Torah/Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers (supposedly the first four Books of Moses) is a retelling of Babylonian scripts assembled by the Levites while in captivity. All of these books reflect Sumerian writings of thousands of years previous. The creation of Adam, the flood, Moses in the bullrushes, all of it. Religion is all "bullrush".
It's all about control. I have friends who take their children to church every Sun Day because they think it is good for them. They, like a lot of people, think that if it weren't for religion no one would have any morals; that we need a vengeful God to keep us from murdering each other and stealing each other's stuff. There are unbreakable Laws which were designed to teach us how to live within the human community. These include the laws of reincarnation and karma. The higher levels of religion understand this, but if they taught these truths no one would need religion. So these truths are suppressed and demonized.
If you believe that "God is Love" you should realize that everything Christianity teaches you contradicts this. Love and Fear cannot coexist. Same for Judaism. Same for Islam.
When you read the Christian Bible do you realize that except for The Bible, there is no historical mention of Moses, David, Solomon, Abraham, Israel, Jacob, Nazareth, Joseph, Mary or Jesus anywhere else to be found? I am not saying that none of these people existed, but it seems strange that within the historical writings of the time that no one else mentioned them.
I'm sure there will be more . . . after all,

OMG - Have your read Zechariah Sitchin?
Maybe not. He wrote a set of 12 books called "The Earth Chronicles". His claim to fame is that he could read Hebrew, and Babylonian, and Chaldean, and Acadian, and Sumerian, among others. Sumerian is the oldest language we have managed to discover. I have a real suggestion :
Don't read Sitchin if you are of the firm belief that The Holy Bible is the revealed word of God. Well, in a way, it is. But that depends on what the meaning of the word is, is.
The Sumerian civilization sort of popped up around 6000 BC. It had architecture, art, music, commerce, writing, bookkeeping. If you go back before that you get caves and stone tools. But if you read the clay tablets and look at the pictures you find out that "God" or really, "The Gods" landed their space ships in the Middle East around 450,000 years ago. They were the ANU.NA.KI (those who came from heaven to earth) They came here to mine for gold. Humans, on Earth, had evolved to the homo erectus stage.
The ANU.NA.KI built a garden between the Tigress and Euphrates and genetically modified plants there until it became a lush garden filled with all manner of flowers, fruit and nut trees. They called this place E.DIN, according to the Sumerian tablets.
The gold mining effort, in southern Africa was brutal and they had a miners revolt. Their dilemma was solved when ANU, the leader thought they could create beings to do the 'toil'. They played around with human/animal pairing and got some interesting results, which were all hybrids - couldn't reproduce. Finally, according to the Sumerian tablets, ANU said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.". The identical words, translated from Hebrew are found in Genesis. And they did. The first child they called "The Adam". Hello homo sapiens.
So, see, we were created by God. The Bible calls them "The Elohim". They called themselves Gods. They told us they were Gods. After all the men were 10' tall and the women 8' tall. They could live forever - were eternal. They could bring each other 'back from the dead' after an accident. They created us. They could take off and live in "Heaven" any time they wanted. Sound like God to you? Sound like what you might hear in church?
If you pray, is this (are these) the God(s) you pray to?
Did they create the Earth? Well, (like all the rest of it) in a way. It seems, according to the Sumerian tablets, that their planet, Nibiru (Marduk) came swinging by our solar system and was pulled inside the orbits of our planets by one of our outer planets, which changed the orbit of Nibiru permanently. It now orbits our sun every 3600 years. Its orbit is counter-rotational to those of the rest of the planets. Back then, we had a planet named Timat which was about the size of Jupiter. On its initial entry, one of Nibiru's moons hit Tiamat dead on and just about cut it in half. As Nibiru was coming out on the other side, Timat was going in, and Nibiru, itself, hit Tiamat causing half (roughly) to break away and the other half to establish an orbit between Venus and Mars. The part which broke away became the Asteroid belt.
Does this have anything to do with "All that is"? With "Source Energy"? Not so much. But it does make you wonder, if you are of a curious nature, why Christianity accepts the accounts in Genesis (which originated with the Sumerian tablets) when the rest of the details were right there for anyone to study.

At the risk of repeating
There are some important things to remember . . .
1. We are never judged.
2. Anything created in the image of a Creator is a creator.
3. We choose everything that happens to us.
4. Religions are institutions of men. All-That-Is does not deal with us through our institutions, but through Its Laws.
5. The primary Law is the law of Cause and Effect (If . . . Then)
6. One of the ways this law manifests is called The Law of Attraction. Through this Law any of us can "have - be - do" whatever we want. In fact we have attracted every event, every person we have ever experienced. Most of us have created our lives through random, unstructured thinking. As we learn the process of "deliberate creation" the events in our lives will be more to our liking.
7. We can't "Not Create" as long as we continue to have thoughts. As we experience the diversity in the world we see things we want and things we do not want. We get what we give our attention to. The difference between not wanting poverty and expecting abundance is enormous as far as what we will experience.
As we see new things we want to experience, the "wanting" calls forth Source Energy. If we stop wanting, Source Energy stops flowing to us. Another name for Source Energy is God. Another name for Source Energy is Life.
We are in that part of the End Times known as "The time of the choosing". This brings to the mind of the Bible reader the Book of Revelation in which, symbolically, the Lamb of God sits on a throne and separates the sheep from the goats. Since there is no judgement this symbology is inaccurate.
It is always we who do the choosing. If we choose to live a life of service to others one thing will happen. If we choose to live a life of service to self a different thing will happen. But it's always our choice.

Death. It's always suicide - in a manner of speaking
It has been said that if we humans knew how pleasant the death process is we would never execute our worst criminals. So, what is the death process?
If we understand that "we" are spiritual; that "we" each 'have a body', each 'have a mind'; that "we" are the force which enlivens our body, and that as long as we do that, our body is 'alive', it follows that when our body 'dies' it is because we have removed ourselves from our body. Biblically we have cut the "silver cord".
When our body is asleep, we can, and do, go anywhere we choose (It is always about choice - our choice.) and during this time the silver cord keeps us connected to our bodies. That way our bodies are still alive when we return. When they "wake up".
The death process can be simple. We can choose to separate from our bodies in our sleep, in which case our body just doesn't wake up.
The process can be complex. We can inspire a cancer to form in our body and battle it for months or years through remissions and chemotherapy and radiation treatments during which we experience periods of pain and weakness; despair and hope. Yet, ultimately, after we have benefitted enough from the symptoms of the cancer, we will "pull the plug" and let the body die.
Possibly we are in an automobile and another crosses the center line and hits us head on. If we evaluate the condition of our body and find it uninhabitable or unsuited to our continuing use we might decide to pull the plug at that time and be DOA. We might decide that our soul will benefit more from a long recovery with a future in which our motion is restricted. Maybe our caregiver needs some time looking after an invalid. This situation would have been agreed upon beforehand at the Soul level. Although it's not necessarily a conscious choice, it's always a choice.
We choose every event which comes into our life. We choose the means and the time of our "death".
An airplane full of passengers crashes to the ground. All on board die except two. How? Why? All but the two boarded the plane in order to die. Not consciously, of course. Some people who were scheduled to take that flight had to cancel at the last minute. The two needed to be on the flight; needed to experience the crash, but without ending their lives. In every case the ultimate event was the best for the Soul of the person concerned.
It always is.

What was God thinking?
People are puzzling about how we got here. Were we created? Did we evolve? A combination of the two? I have been trying to work out why? If we evolved, it was just one big accident, anyway. But if we were created (my choice, by the way) was it just a whim? I figure it was a big undertaking. Not difficult for a Creator, but important (to the Creator, at least). So . . .why? Here is my understanding of it.
As Neale Donald Walsch tells us, "In the beginning, All That Is was all there was.". Let's look at the environment of "All That Is". It exists in an Absolute universe where there is nothing but Love, Beauty, Peace, Joy and Harmony. Knowing all there is to know, All That Is was aware that if all there is is Joy, it is impossible to experience Joy. If everything we saw was red how would we be able to experience red, and know that it was red? There wouldn't be green or blue or yellow or anything but red. We wouldn't even know it was red. It would just be what is.
So "All That Is" caused a Relative Universe to be created. In this Universe there is up and down, hot and cold, left and right. Everything is relative to something else.
In this Relative Universe this Creator created millions of billions of entities "in His own image". Little energy vortices called Adoms*. Anything created in the image of a Creator is a creator. These tiny golden points of light magnetically attracted Soul stuff around them, then through a series of stepping down the frequencies of Soul energy it created a Mental body, then an emotional body, then an Etheric body and, finally, at the lowest frequencies, a physical body. I did it. You did it. We all did it.
We all have our experiences. In this Universe we experience joy and heartbreak, peace and conflict, harmony and chaos, love and hate, beauty and ugliness. And everything we experience in our Relative Universe, "All That Is" experiences in its Absolute Universe without leaving its Absolute Universe. That's the why. God knew it was Glorious and wanted to experience Glory.
When the Relative Universe was created, it was created deliberately. It was created in a specific way in order for specific things to be allowed to happen. It was created to follow certain Laws which would govern it. God didn't just throw it out here and turn it loose. We "Images of God" were given free will to choose what would manifest in our individual lives. God doesn't care what choices we make. His Laws make it so that we will care, however. Jesus told us, "As you sow you shall reap.". This is an explanation of one of the Laws we live under which He made crystal clear. Lots of us ignore it, but then we wonder why our lives are so screwed up.
Our existence is one of a vibratory nature. Everything is energy. Everything has an energy signature. The hydrogen atom has its signature. The electron in a hydrogen atom has its frequency signature. Molecules made up of various atoms each have their own frequency signatures (or vibrations). Each of us has our own vibration which reflects the totality of our body, mind and spirit. The vibrational energy of a thought is instantly felt throughout the Universe.
Another Law is the Law of Attraction. We exist in a world of diverse activities. Every day we see things we approve of and things of which we do not approve. We see things we want to have and things we don't want in our environment. The Law of Attraction tells us that when we want something, the vibrational energy of our wanting is immediately answered by Source energy. And, if the energy of our thought matches the energy of our being, the object of our desire will manifest in our environment. It is the "wanting" of humanity that keeps Source energy flowing to us. If, all of a sudden, no one wanted anything; if everyone was satisfied with everything the way it was, Source energy would stop flowing. And the Relative Universe would disappear.

The Test
This is about what you know; what you don't know; what you think you know. This is about "The Test".
Imagine there is a test which has every question, in the world, on it. When you take the test the questions are flashed into your consciousness. You answer them aloud. As soon as you answer one question the next question comes into your consciousness. And on it goes.
When you have completed the test, your score is given to you. It will look something like this..
To 99.9% of the questions you will have answered, "I don't know." (an indication of your level of ignorance). Of the remaining .1% your answers will fall into 2 categories; those you answered correctly (an indication of your level of knowledge), and those you thought you knew the answers to, but were wrong about.
The important thing about "The Test" is the third category of your answers. What do you know for sure? Does God exist? Yes - No? Are you certain? Do you know why you are certain? Would you bet the lives of your family on it? Let's try an easier one.
Do you subscribe (belong) to a religion? Understanding that everyone thinks that what s/he believes is true; and understanding that there are millions of humans who do not (will not) belong to the religion you have chosen, do you believe that your religion best represents the relationship between God and man? Do you accept that there are things about God that you are not supposed to know? (is it really not for us to know?)
As Neale Donald Walsch said in his book, "Conversations With God - book I", In the beginning, "All That Is" was all there was. Then, in another book we read, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.". This would be the first creation. Later in the same book we read, "And God created man in His image. In the image of God created He them.". This would be a second creation. Why? Why did God do all that? "I individuated myself an infinite number of times, yet I remain."
Prior to the creations, "All That Is" experienced Joy, Harmony, Peace, Beauty and Love, but not hatred, jealousy, greed, lust, envy etc. It needed us for that. It needed us in order to know what that experience was like. It needed us in order to experience everything that wasn't Joy, Harmony, Peace, Beauty and Love. I avoid the pronoun "He" because, of course, "All That Is" has no gender.
This topic will be continued. . . . .

Junk Science... Yes, I'm still on about it
Junk Science: opinions, theories, or just plain lies which are promulgated or taught as scientific fact.
If something is truly a scientific fact, the experiments which proved it can be duplicated by anyone who is interested in doing so. If no initial experiments were made, the so called "scientific fact" is fiction. If experiments were made but cannot be duplicated the "fact" is no more than a theory, and an unproven one, at that.
There is some "fiction" and "unproven theories" which are being stated as scientific fact. This is Junk Science.
Two of the most glaring examples of Junk Science are:
1. The apparent increase in the temperature of the Earth is due to human use of things which create carbon dioxide. The fact that humans are only responsible for a miniscule percentage of the total carbon dioxide procuced by the Earth must be studiously ignored.
2. All members of the plant and animal kingdoms evolved from a one-celled critter swimming in the primordial soup. The fact that all of the animals presently occupying the planet appeared in the Cambrian Age, while there is no evidence that any of them existed in the Pre-Cambrian Age must not only be ignored, but must not be talked about ever.
It is extremely important to certain special interest groups that this Junk Science be promulgated in our public schools. This is probably one of the reasons that our 4th graders take one of the first 3 places in world wide tests while our high school seniors come in 29th world wide. Our "educational system" has done its work.
I was told once that the job of our public school system was to create "good little tax payers". If we aren't careful our graduates won't even be able to get jobs, let alone pay taxes.

The case couldn't be made any stronger.
If something is truly a scientific fact, the experiments which proved it can be duplicated by anyone who is interested in doing so. If no initial experiments were made, the so called "scientific fact" is fiction. If experiments were made but cannot be duplicated the "fact" is no more than a theory, and an unproven one, at that.
