Moving Mountains

FAITH & BURDENS Part 1:

 

Sometimes we view our problems as the pinnacle of "who we are" even go as far as defining "Who we are right now" when the stark truth is that "We are not our problems, We are not the circumstances that caused them, nor are they worth the heartache, time lost in life, money lost in hustle or pain associated with it." We are simply the Burden Bearers, Generation Healers and Future Teachers, that's all so... Let us learn like for the first time like children, chalk it up as a loss like a G, fix it if you can, replace bad habits with the awesome good, give thanks while soaking up the wisdom and lessons like the wise resting eyes on sacred pages while receiving the Sun's rays, pull someone else up while you're rising and keep it positive and keep it movin. Move Somethin!!

Move Mountains!!!

 

FAITH & BURDENS Part 2:

 

If you can view a Creator's love as parental, Parental/patriarchal government, societies, economics... so the simplest way to put the clashing of thoughts and progression of such prospects outlining greed and the gluttonous search for more is that everyone is just trying to parent in their own way, parenting and controlling others, raising and molding to fit what we want or need, yet the weight usually felt by the parent can be expressed in many different ways as they begin to address the cost of Sacrifice and the Burden they chose to carry to protect the child or children. Do our many parents sacrifice for us? In this book called the bible (yeah, I've doubted, sought, researched, contended and came to peace with a version of the bible I felt less corrupted by centurie's societies) it tells of this cool dude named Jesus that kicked it with everybody and performed miracles. We're also told in this text how he lived and we, who believe that God and Jesus does exist, are told that he sacrificed himself for us, for something hard to explain or come to grasp with such as the existence of a "human soul".  Now I can ask some probing questions such as do you think there is good and evil, why, yadayada but this is focused on our ability to cope with stress and with what life throws us.  What if you were told that if you have a bunch of problems and you're doing, I mean Really doing everything you can, or you can't stop thinking about this, or thinking about that... that all you have to do is do something called pray, or simply talk, yell, cry, whaichever you choose... and believe, and tell your problems to something which you can't see, a sort of like exchange of truth for trust, and your burden will feel lightened by Giving your problems, Handing your problems over to a higher power that want to hear from something it created, like a parent?

  We'd like to believe in super heroes and the thought of being able to make a miraculous difference in a world that has proved that not even innocent children are given leway or can escape the torture of suffering and death.  We want to have hope, we gravitate towards it, we aspire to achieve and survive yet daily and unaware are fed messages of uncertainty, confusion, fear, malice, greed and death. We are told that God is dead and miracles only exist in breakthroughs in science when the very fact that everything on this earth, every organism, the patterns in nature that are shown in fluid and matter, even down to the same molecules arein sync, even without us is more than one miracle, but an entanglement of mystery to those that chose the rocky road of doubt, trying not to believe over just... Faith.

 

I try to only post non-religious stuff here for folks that are scared of stakes and crosses lol but I Must post this before night's pass!  Do you remember when folks were all into that book Secret and willing things and bringing things into existence with mere thought.  Faith can do much... Have you yourself witnessed what faith can accomplish? Well, we know it takes more than just a strong mind but listen to this wisdom...  To once again give y’all a heads up, this is a story about a man (note: alternate text, other than biblical has supported his existence) named Jesus. 

Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 

And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.”  Immediately the fig tree withered away.

And the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say this to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done.

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

     New King James Version Holy Bible, Book-Matthew 21:18-22.

What, ask and you shall receive, closed mouth don't get fed, I'm pretty sure you've heard something like this before.  I know this might be a little hard to conceive, "ask and It'll get done... for real, I wasn't born yesterday."  But for one that has seen and heard things once believed not possible, I can assure you that there is always hope, as long as something can grow, somewhere, there's hope.  I've never moved any mountains per-se but who knows, one day, together we might.

So these burdens we carry and get over pass(because it is our duty to learn, over come and get over things), we don't have to hold on to them. Let em go, do what you can and kick rocks!(move on) Sometimes approaching clouds might scare us but we'll be prepared for the next storm and no matter what you were told, you are Never and were never alone, even during that B.S. that many agree no one should have to go through.  We all breathe this air and step on this Earth and there are spiritual forces that just like the ones that like to see us fail and hurt, Love us and love to see us rise and succeed. What would you like to bring into fruition?  Either millions of folks that believe in something greater than their own existence… are crazy... or we are All destined for greatness. Which would you like to believe?           

Have a great month of March family and Friends.
