So, What’s the Point?

 

Yeah, that would be my question, too.  In past articles, we’ve talked about some my off-the-wall spiritual concepts related to God, heaven and what the heck we’re doing here on this old planet.   If I were totally immersed in one of the more mainstream spiritual (you may translate this to “religious” if you wish) belief systems, I’d immediately classify old Gene’s concepts somewhere in the range from “Totally Weird, Dude” to “Absolute Blasphemy – Gene’s Goin’ to Hell!!”

 

So what’s the point?  Well - in line with the main purpose of the NuPathz web site (promoting thinking and positive questioning of our personal programming), here are some of the benefits I’m seeing personally through the modifications I’ve made to my own spiritual thinking.

 

1. The pressure is OFF!  Huh?  Without going into a bunch of details here about the intricacies - and frequently demands - of the various belief systems, suffice it to say that I much prefer the simplified approach.  This way I can honestly enjoy being an active participant in a totally loving, teaching, forgiving system.  Moreover, I’ve found that I can have a hell of a lot of fun interacting with the system without worrying about being “proper” or the consequences of not following a prescribed process.

 

2. I’m comfortable knowing that even though my personal belief system is somewhat off-the-wall, it’s OK.  Just as I would imagine, almost every other belief system is probably OK too. (Yeah, I’m fudging on this a bit. Worshiping the south end of a north bound pig may not provide the outcome expected…) There are an infinite number of paths to God (understanding, enlightenment, oneness with creation, etc.) and we are probably given the latitude to be able to pick the one that works best for us personally.  My guess is that we’ll all likely wind up back home no matter which path we choose to follow.

 

3. The mysterious has become demystified – and the supernatural has become completely normal.  We’ll chat about some of this stuff a bit more on down the road.  I think that someday we’ll be able to all move past the spiritual “earth is the center of the universe” mindset.  Maybe we’ll even have scientific proof of some of this.  Maybe…

 

4. I am able to enjoy life almost completely - with surges to one hundred percent.  (That’s like “Almost Totally, Dude!”)  I am able to feel love for the “system” and all of its components – and yes, for every individual who is a part of the system.  Oh sure, some parts of this life are a major pain in the butt and even though this is not a particularly easy ride, it’s still fandamntastic! 

 

Enough of my rationalizations (they may be just that, huh?)  Here are a couple of things to think about.  First, life can ultimately be truly enjoyable!  Mine – yours – everybody’s.  From the above and from the previous articles, it should be fairly evident that this enjoyment doesn’t depend on the external factors and influences in our life.  It’s what comes from within us.  It’s using our mind and thought process to benefit us as opposed to letting them run wild and controlling us.  I’ve chosen my ways of thinking – and my spiritual beliefs – so that I can get the greatest personal benefit from my short stay here on earth and so that I can really enjoy it at the same time. 

 

And that brings us to the second point.  If you are not really enjoying your life right now, why not take some steps that will move you in that direction?  Just reading this indicates that you might at least be giving it some thought.  So take another step – and another – and another.  If you can use a few of the thoughts I’ve been providing, great!  If not – then take the time to find some that might work for you.  Check out the NuPathz site’s links.  Grab some of the terrific books that are readily available.  Find a mentor to help guide your way.  I repeat – life can be totally, one hundred percent enjoyable!  Well, maybe not all the time but cruisin’ along at 90 – 95 percent is pretty danged good, don’tcha think?
