We Have It Made…

…and just don’t know it!

Off and on through several articles, we’ve discussed the spiritual aspect of us humans. We’ve talked about some possible alternatives to some of the more mainstream beliefs and have hopefully promoted thinking and positive questioning of our individual spiritual approach to life. The desired end result is that every one of us will find our personal spiritual path that will lead us to our spiritual goal(s) – and that we’ll be able to truly enjoy the trip.

As I’ve said before, I believe there are an infinite number of paths leading to God or whatever our concept of ultimate consciousness or self-development may be. I also think we spend entirely too much time worrying about which path(s) may or may not be the correct one – the “true” path to God. It just doesn’t make any sense to me that a loving supreme power would toss several billion people on this little planet saying, “Y’all go learn something, have a great life and remember that when you’re finished there, at least two-thirds of you will be going to hell!”

I think it would be much more logical to provide us University of Earth students with a lot of learning options – a wide selection of routes to choose from. Setting spirituality (or religious beliefs) aside for a moment, there are some drastic differences among us humans. With the wide variation in genetics and environmental influences it’s just reasonable to believe that there will also be huge differences in the “things” or concepts that we’ll be able to handle comfortably.

If we just use the concepts that have been presented in previous articles as an example, we can be reasonably certain that reaction from a reasonable cross-section of the population would range from “Cool – that makes sense to me”, through “I don’t really understand much of this” on to “This guy needs to be locked up in a padded cell somewhere”. That’s why I’ve said from the very beginning that the intent of this site is strictly to promote thinking and positive questioning of our “programming” and beliefs or assumptions about life. It will never be to “convert” anyone to my ways of thinking. Besides being really presumptuous on my part – it just wouldn’t work, again because of the wide variation in our backgrounds and yes, our foundation programming.

Therefore, I’m comfortable believing that our Master Teacher has taken this into account and provided all sorts of flexibility in our individual paths to enlightenment, self-fulfillment, God – whatever you want to call it. I don’t think that this life was ever meant to be a test. I honestly believe that it’s just a learning experience – the University of Earth. And if that’s the case, there’s no way we can screw it up. Sure, we may not do as well as hoped at learning some of the things we need to learn to move further on toward our developmental goals but so what. We probably learned – or at least experienced – some things that we can at least add to our resume. That oughtta count for something. And there’s also a good possibility that we’ll get another chance – somewhere, someway – to take another shot at picking up the information and understanding that would be beneficial to us.

Holy smokes, if we’re not going to be punished for being bad, what’s our incentive to be good? Won’t that cause a major deterioration in our society? Wouldn’t that result in nothing but chaos?

I seriously doubt that our earthly society would be much different than it is right now. Sure, there are some of us who are “being good” out of fear of the potential consequences of being bad. But to be totally honest about it, none of us are “good” all the time, are we? Life just isn’t like that. Most of us are generally good – relative to whatever our sociological norms happen to be – because that’s how we choose to be for whatever reason. Maybe it’s because of a foundation spiritual influence, or the influence of our parents or other role models. Maybe it’s simply because of our basic design. I’d bet that if we took a look at the levels of “good” in the earth’s population, we’d find that the majority of folks are doing just fine. Unfortunately, it’s the bad guys who are getting most of the publicity.

My suggestion? Just relax! Take life as it comes and give it your best shot. Look for a path that will help you learn your lessons as quickly and as easily as possible. Identify your personal spiritual leader and spend some time asking your questions and BS’ing. And don’t worry about the seemingly “bad” stuff you’ve done. Try to learn from it and press on. Let it go. Yesterday’s not important. It’s today that counts. Just do your best – whatever that may be. Enjoy the really cool things this world – this creation – have to offer. Be silly, smile a lot and have some fun. It may not be a perfect world, but I honestly believe it is a perfect “creation”. And we’re a part of it. Cool!
