What Winter Soltice means to me

What Winter Soltice means to me

December 16, 2010

Five more days until the shortest day and longest night, where darkness seems like it will never end, where a head cold continues to disrupt; still, people continue with this thing called hope and faith. There is something in even the densest of matter, when broken down becomes light. This is what Winter Soltice means to me. Even in the darkest of times, either personally or on a bigger scale, one can remake themselves and set upon a new direction. The celebration of Winter Soltice is about the hope that after our darkest hour; a new time is born, the light is seen again. Because, the light is always there giving us freedom to change, to become what we decide to become.

Burning the Koran

In history, Christians have done some stupid stuff like kill people in the name of Christianity or God. Does it mean that all Christians are bad because of that history? I've even been afraid of some Christians' who've turned their anger on me just to have a conversation in the name of trying to find the real truth behind what is written in the bible. I don't just all Christians for the actions of a few. I think John Lennon was on to something when he wrote in the song "Imagine" "Imagine a world without religion..."

Holding a Vision from Soul

Holding a Vision from Soul
by Robert G Parent

I'd like to ponder on something a friend was talking to me about. It was about the anointing or calling that Christians call their mission in life. My friend didn't like that I called it a decision. It just seemed wrong to her that someone would decide their calling, after all a calling is something God tells a person. However, all things come down to a decision, even the big decisions.

From my point of view or understanding, this anointing or big decision seems so powerful because it comes from the soul. At that time, the personality had a moment of clarity where they understood where their lives needed to go. God doesn't tell us where to go because then freewill would be an illusion, which I don't believe. We each create our own future by the decisions we make on a daily bases. Decision is like pins in a map that show us where we've been. And no matter where we are now, we have made decisions that brought us to the point where we are now.

People use God to blame ( for the lack of a better word ) for living a life of mediocrity ( living a boring life ) or a life filled with sadness, anger, and frustration. But if a life sees their life in these ways, it reflects the darkness that overshadows their soul's light. Things also happen to us because of other people's decisions. We're all trying to get by in our own current consciousness.

To get the most or even more out of our current consciousness, we each need to look at the light within each of us. We need to see the bigger picture that is our life. We need to see the possibilities that lay within the big picture of our life. We need to illuminate the darkness, the shadow that is cast over our lives. We each need to look to the soul in all our decisions. When we do look to soul in our decisions, we will make better decisions.

We each hold onto our ideas of how things should be done but, the world keeps changing and we need to change in how we do things, while still holding a vision from soul on how things should be.

Our Greatest Lesson

Our Greatest Lesson
by Robert G Parent

All religion is man-made and doesn't come from the one God. The gift the one God brings comes from what is within all, love. It is the love that brings us and binds us together into one great force in this Universe.

There are many who try and separate us and use us to fight each other in the name of religion. Those who do, live in illusion and shadow. To win against these forces, we must be as one and show them how bright our light shines.

We are one. This is the truth that we need in our hearts. It is the separation that is tearing the world apart, not any environmental concerns. Because as one with Earth and the one God, we can heal any past damage and transform this world into a place of beauty.

A New Creative Solution

A New Creative Solution
by Robert G Parent

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." -- Ben Franklin

From Dictionary.com Virtuous means "conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright:"

I think people do and want to live a virtuous life. For me, virtuous means people helping people. We do this. Out of all the natural and unnatural disasters we've had in the past, the number one means of support for those that needed it was the people. We've given more money, not any government. We've had more volunteers to help those, not any government forces. We spend more money on many different charities then any government. So why should we stop there.

Why can't we use this same spirit that we used to help people in past disasters? In health care, I believe we could come up with local solutions that cost far less and be of assistance to more people. In education, in the past parents and the local communities had more control in educating their children, why can't we come up with a present solution that does the same thing? In Welfare, why can't businesses come up with local solutions to help those who've lost a job or have fallen on hard times. Rich people have set up funds and trusts. Why can't businesses set up their own funds and trusts to help those in need. To those that do this, we would continue to support them in their businesses. Why would we do this? Well think about it for a few seconds.

The solutions to this economic situation we find ourselves in is simple. We need to get back to more local control. We need to produce our own foods, our own needs, our own services. The way we have this global marketplace set up now is not working because we have rich countries and we have poor countries. By going local, we would balance the equation better. Now global things like the Internet and local foods are good and have their own place because we need to have diversity and knowledge, so each local area can grow and become better for their people. Going more local is one of the ideas that I believe the founding fathers had in mind when they created the Constitution of the United States. Let us put the virtuous spirit that we all have to better use and make this planet the garden it once was.

New Insights on Reincarnation

New Insights on Reincarnation
by Robert G Parent

What if reincarnation doesn't exist? When we think of reincarnation, we think of this life as separate from our other lives. But are they really? We have only one life, but that life doesn't start from birth in this lifetime. Our life starts at the very beginning as we each grow out of our monad.

Imagine each life we've had in the pasts, and each life in our potential future path as being part of one continued line. It's kinda like the series "Sliders" or "Doctor Who". We don't die but only shift our consciousness from one place, one time to another place and time. We do this now. When we sleep at night, our consciousness shifts from where we were to where we are and when we wake up in the morning, even though we're in the same bedroom, we are in a different place and a different time. Remember, the Earth spins and revolves around the Sun.

When we be become conscious of this process, we would be able to regenerate our whole body. We do this anyway. When we sleep and shift our consciousness to another place and time we take on a new body for that time and place. Some doctors believe that our bodies regenerate themselves. So let's take this to the next thought. When we die, for the lack of a better word, we move onto a new place and time with new bodies. These bodies are either spiritual bodies or physical bodies in a new time and place. Right now the regeneratation process is done automatically. But maybe when we become conscious of the process, we would have full control as to how our new bodies look.

I hope that I have given some seed thoughts on calling the process reincarnation regeneration instead.

What we Need to Think About

What we Need to Think About
by Robert G Parent

Why can't countries manufacture what they need for their people?

Instead of the government paying for welfare and all such government entitlement programs, we'd come up with a system where local businesses in each state pay for its own state's welfare programs.

Why can't we have more local gardens? There is not a place where we cannot grow a garden.

For a country to be prosperous, each state needs to be self-sufficient.

If there is a need in a local area, let those local people solve that problem.

We need to get to a place where even residents in an apartment building become known as a community.

The solutions for the problems in this country and the world need to come from the local communities.

We need to stay creative in the magic of life.

Return to the Oneness

Return to the Oneness
by Robert G Parent

There is only one. One force that flows through and is in everything. It doesn't matter what religion someone is in because religion is only a part of the one. Each religion is only made of a group of people's understandings of what cannot be seen. Religion comes from the world and belongs only to the understanding of the world.

God is everywhere in this Universe. God flows through and is in everything. When we pray for help or for understanding, we contect to this force. And because we are all connected to this God Force, we find the one who is asking or needs help or understanding.

Just because each of us seems different or not like anyone else, we focus on that we are different. It is that thinking that is tearing the world apart. We all need to turn that around. We need to focus on the Force, the God Force that flows through and is in everything.

Healing is all about bringing the body back to a wholeness state, where the body functions as one. That is the healing that this planet needs, to bring it back to a wholeness state, where all us Children are one within the one God of the Universe. Have any of you focused in meditation on the one Force, the God Force, God in you meditation? What do you think would happen if you did meditate on this on a daily bases? Do you think you'd start to see others differently? I hope you each try it and come to see as I know.

Thank You for you time,
Live Long and Prosper,
and May the Force be with You

Facts about our Climate

Facts about our Climate ( Global Warming )
by Robert G Parent

These facts are from a documentary that I saw on the internet. Look up the information yourself.

First: From 1940 to 1975 temperatures were getting cooler. The significant idea that I want to get across is that this was the industrial revolution, where more carbon dioxide was in the air. According to Al Gore's media, this time wouldn't be cooler but warmer.

Second: The Earth has had ice ages and periods of global warming through out history; like the mini-ice age of the 14th century, the mid evil warming period, and the Halocene maximum of the deep past.

Third: The Carbon Dioxide count actual lags behind higher temperatures, so temperature is controlling carbon dioxide. But what controls temperature rise? The Sun and specifically sun spot activity. In the little ice age of the 14th century, there was very little sunspot activity. Also, carbon dioxide lags behind temperature rise because it takes a long time for the oceans to release Carbon dioxide.

The news from around 1974 talked about the coming ice age and how catastrophic it would be. Now the news is talking about how catastrophic global warming would be. I'll leave it up to you to decide why the news media has changed their stories. Also, the environmental reporters tell us of the great poverty that global warming will bring, but in the mid evil warming period was a time of great wealth. Again, we have reporters focusing on fear, Why do you think they keep reporting and focusing on the fear? I think we are in a time where the news media have their own agenda. Where they are willing to twist stories and instead of just reporting the facts, they report opinion and call it the facts. This can be very dangerous for our freedom here in the United States and of the world as a whole. What we the people need to do now in this time of great tribulation is to check and double check all the facts reported. We have to step up and be the voices of reason in this time where we can either fall back to the dark ages or go forward to the age of enlightenment. How we decide is where we will go.

Metaphor about Creation

Metaphor about Creation
by Robert G Parent

Creation has to come from stillness, the stillness before the initial thought. Then once the initial thought makes contact with the stillness, we build upon that thought ( energy ) until we get to the new wave of creation, which we can surf until it becomes stillness again.

Stay Creative in the Magic of Life

A Receptive State

A Receptive State by Robert G Parent

Poet's and creative people need to be in a receptive state. A dancer is receptive to the beat in the back of the melody. When focused on, the body will move that way. It also gives way to improvising between the beats. If one can live in a receptive state, they will be in the flow of creativity, creation.

Losing Weight

Losing Weight
by Robert G Parent

Why is it so hard to lose weight? Fructose. It does not turn off the the mechanism in our brain that says we are not hungrey. One thing that does not help is that Frutose is in about 90% of our food because its cheep. Why do they need to put sugar into our foods. Because it would be so bland without the sugar. So if our food is tasteless without putting sugar into it, why are we eating it.

If you think of it, we should only have a produce section, a meat section, a dairy section and a frozen foods section. We don't really need to eat anything in the middle of grocery stores. We should also eat more natural fibers such as apples and pears. Fiber is proven to help tell the brain that we are full.

So it would be easier to lose weight if we change what we eat and get the frutose out of our diets. Exercise regularly, going out into nature and walk among the woods, by a lake, or river. Just being more active and having the right amount of sleep.

Finding Purpose

The wise jedi, Yoda speaking to Anakin says, "Attachment leads to jeliousy. You must learn to let go what you fear to lose."

Finding Purpose

How does letting go and finding one's purpose in life go together. We each go down the path that leads us to our current job. But some people become unhappy as to the job they work at. They stay at their jobs for a couple of reasons. The big reason is they like the money that they receive from the job because it helps them and their families live well. They also stay at one job because they become comfortable, that even the idea of changing anything in their lives gives them much pain.

Each of us have a purpose for this life. When we are not living up to that purpose, we feel an inner feeling of knowing. If we do not recognize this feeling, it will manifest in our lives as impatiance, frustration, and a focusing on the problems and a feeling of helplessness that they cannot fix the problems.

What we need to do is to become conscious of at what is happining in our feelings and thoughts. Noticing what others say about you, will give you an idea as to what your purpose is. Write down a dream list as to what you want to do. Get specific. Explore your feelings and thoughts closely. Then come up with a plan to bring those dreams into you life. This plan will help you learn to let go your old self and manifest your new self, one living your purpose.
