I want to create this room, for future observations, notes, and comments about many folks feeling 'seperated' from 'God'...or a loving being...separated by a gulf...
And many yearn to be recreated in a more kind loving manner.
Healed from all past woes, worries and thoughts.
In current form, many instinctively try to walk towards divine...but keep hitting a glass wall. As if current inherited natures just won't allow it.
Nature conflicts with spirit it seems...
to be continued...
Not everyone enjoys being bad, or conflicting with God...

I certainly feel separated right now, from the divine.
When eyes are open, you realize how much stench surrounded by, and want nothing to do with it, just want to hide, become invisible.
There are so many foul beings living amongst us, living amongst humanity, that habitate the minds and souls of people walking around.
You almost don't want to see it, cause when you do see it you can feel over whelmed and very vulnerable.
Dark forces will find you, think about you, even if your not thinking about them.
And seem to move from body to body, and is why sometimes same patterns of negativity occur, even when around different people.
As if evil influence, with a personality, moves through people like atomic particles.
Seems there really is no defense other than the divine.
Nature is another thing that doesn't seem to care, and that come be comforting at times, in that a flood don't care, life no life, if in it's path destroys all, good and evil.
Nature is like a form of faceless justice, a cleansing power at times.
And nature is beyond mans judicial system.
A tornado does what it wants, rips apart what it wants, then is gone.
Not really sure what purpose man has anymore, when in the end nothing will be here, as in the beginning.

Sometimes I wonder did normal ever exist or was normal just an illusion like the Truman Show setI think 'normal', the way I use to know it, was living around people, people apart of a larger community, who all shared similar biblically based values, or 10 commandment values, not that everyone was religious, but everyone behaved, followed rules, laws, there was order. And everyone was fiscally stable, employed, married and had families. This environment, everyone having similar ethical structure, created what I knew as normal, when younger. Schools, homes, Fathers working. There was no permanent underclass or hood types. No ghettos at all. Everyone was generic, regardless of color, everyone basically behaved in the same orderly way, and all could hold their own. The community was stable. And the minority community was very low, like maybe 2% or less. And the minorities that were there acted like everyone else. No minorities, no crime, no drama, no hoods, no ghettos, no prostitutes, nothing shady, as a youth you could walk the streets at 3 am and feel safe, totally safe. There are still small isolated communities spread out around the nation like this where they're insulated from the broader social trends. I don't care about color, I just care about civility, law and order. But for some reason the closer you get to urban areas, where minority populations begin to exceed 10%, people seem to just become more depraved. I mean everyone. Whites, blacks, Hispanics, everyone. Areas where you have large population centers of permanent underclass are hell holds, and populations like that always seem depraved, walk around with upside down value systems. Right is wrong, wrong is right, and no one seems to follow rules, or only do so cause forced, not cause they have the decency inside to want to own their own. And as more and more people flood this nation from war torn areas, areas where cartel rule, terrorist rule, restrictive religions rule, just seems normal is becoming harder and harder to find. And the Government force injects these people into 'normal areas', and of course they bring nothing but chaos and horror. Death, crime, cheating, unemployment, litter, and more. Single mothers raising hobbits in a moral vacuum, who at age 6 already start acting like hardened 'gangstas'. I know one thing, urban areas are not 'normal' to me, at least not my sense of normal. Colonial areas aren't normal to me either, where you have large former slave class, people who speak odd English, tore up English. Areas where grown males in their 20's, 30's, 40's, still stumble around as if adolescent and lost. Still dress in athletic attire, who mooch off of females who are on public assistance themselves. All of this is moral corruption to me, social decay. And it has all thrown off my sense of normal.

But nor do I consider blind racism to be normal either.
I guess was raised in area with so few minorities that there was no need for racism.
Racism is what created a lot of the conditions of the above, back when banks denied loans to people to allow upward mobility.
Every thing has a cause and effect.
Things aren't the way they are today by accident.
Italian mob and Government flooding 'black' areas with drugs in the 50's, 60's, 70's.
The more you learn, know, the more you don't really want to learn or know, cause in the end it's all meaningless and way larger than anything anyone can do about it anymore.

It's important to sort out thought if one wants to redevelop a genuine faith, so much of our faith, what we believe in, how we relate to God, what we think God is, is based on early life experience and when that early life experience goes away, so does 'God', or the God we developed around it.
That's why it's so important to go back and separate culture, buildings, and even privilege from whom or what God really is.
It can be a ugly process, like confession is, but must be done in order to really find out who, why, and what we are, which is all based on past environment.
If, when, I step to God again, I want to make sure this time, I'm stepping towards the right God, and not a God of culture or privilege or personal bias.
It's hard to find the true loving God for most, cause most, including self, can't let go of personal interests, pride ect, and all the other things that have separated man from God since the Garden of Eden.
And whether the Garden of Eden is real or symbolic, it's full of truthful metaphors that apply even today.
Cleaning self means being honest with self, and that's not always easy.
Measuring self with self, and no one else.
That means coughing up racism, biases, and other things that helped shape self in the past.
It's a process that most who find purity in religion do internally, here it is done externally.
One post may seem ugly, but it's all a process of cleansing, honesty cleanses.
Not interested in blind stupid faith anymore, for that's what leads to falling away later on.
Blind stupid faith is equivalent to closing the lid of a toilet without first flushing it.
You have to first flush the toilet, then close the lid, then move on to really be clean on the inside.
Have to admit things about self that aren't pretty, examine all thoughts, basically become neutral again, an empty glass, in order for it to be filled with Gods righteousness.
It's a scary process, cause while doing so one discovers a lot of lies and illusions that shaped one in the past.
False ideals based on privilege, not honesty.
To the point where after a while when most who have fallen away here the word 'God', don't even know what it means anymore cause 1000's worship 'gods' and never bury self first, as such it creates confusion.
Instead of worshiping or following God, what you get is millions of people around the world worshipping and following self.
I want to bury self, so that I can once again find God, not my God, but the" God, the God that is able and powerful enough to move anything.

You get to a point in your life, if truly seeking God, that all you want to do is die with a clean heart.
It's no longer about wanting anything from God, expecting anything from God, but it becomes about wanting to die with a clean heart, a clean perspective about self and life.
An honest perspective.

I want there to be a God, a Loving GodI actually want there to be a God, a divine God, a God of love...I want that, and need that the same way a hobbit, or as a hobbit, you need for, or to know that, your parents love you and care. I feel the same way about God. I always feel there's something or someone higher than myself, that I need to pray and talk to. I need to feel there is someone (of divine origin) that will be able to make sense of things one day. So it's odd, cause even though as of lately (last 8 years or so) I've been slowly drifting away from Church, praying ect, even now, the need to 'worship' something is still there. Maybe worship is the wrong word, in fact it is...not worship but confide in; is a better way to put it. I need something or someone, of divine origin, to confide inI think we all do, and not sure where that urge comes from. Maybe even animals have it to, like when you get home, your pet dog 'confides' in you by needing, wanting, your approval and affection. Well I feel as though I need and want the approval and affection of 'God'. But not any god, but rather a Loving God. I need for there to be a loving God, of divine origin out there some where. A God bigger than man, and bigger than the religions man has created. I think deep down inside we all need that. I God bigger than politics, bigger than race and or color and or nationality, a God bigger than gender, bigger than age, and bigger and larger than history. I need and want there to be such a God. But, this is interesting that I need this, is this 'need' that I have how religion was originally started??? In other words which came first, God or religion? In other words, 1000's of years ago, were there people like me, with same 'need to worship' or be accountable to higher power, that felt same way and so 'invented a God' to satisfy that urge??? Who knows. All I know is right now I need for there to be a God, not a Christian god, not a Muslim god but simply a divine God full of love, who loves and cares about my every move. This is interesting, cause as I try to pull away from organized man created, personal, self serving gods of religion and culture, as I try to pull away from that, I still want and need for there to be a God, one that's separate from all of the above. When I pray, (which I hardly do anymore) I want to know, believe, that some divine God is actually hearing the prayers and cares what I'm praying about...continued on next post.

I want there to be a God, Part III need and want there to be a God, of divine origin, that's full of love and understanding. I need there to be a God of divine origin that actually does care about what happens to me on a daily basis, and that does pays attention to the minor details of life. I need there to be a God separate and apart from man, from human nature, which is warped. Cause I no longer find solace in traditional man made religions. You follow them all, and see their bloody pasts and or current bloody realities. At first lands were conquered, people slaughtered, in the name of Israel (old testament) then lands conquered, people slaughtered in the name of Christianity (Roman Empire, British Empire ect) And now today in middle East people attacked, shot, killed, in the name of 'Allah'... It's all gross. I don't want that god, that leads man to act so insane, and behave so devilish. I don't want the devilish god. I don't want the demon, that pretends to be god and leads man to commit so many insane and cruel acts in the name of salvation. I instead want, prefer, the nice loving God, if such a God even exists. Maybe all the gods are indeed demons. Then what?

If you look at man, societies, through out history, seems man has been worshiping demons, and not a God of Love
Religion has never made man loving.
Religion just seems to give man, societies, an excuse to justify evil. .

Why does God hate me?1. no criminal record 2. Never steal, rob, never break the law 3. Have never assaulted anyone, molested or raped anyone under threat of violence, although I've been victim of all three. 4. Honest, always return what I find on the streets to owner. 5. Kind to animals 6. Always polite in public And could go on and on and on, yet God seems to hate me, why? Why is God so angry at me? Why doesn't God allow me to prosper?

I wish there were a God I wish there were a God. I wish there were a god that indeed loved me and had a purposeful joyous prosperous plan for me in this world. I really do wish there were a god that only allowed good decent people to get near. I really do wish there were, and want there to be a god, of divine origin, there waiting to greet after physical body passes away. I wish for all the above and more. Not just for myself but others as well. But the longer I live I seem to observe the opposite. People driven by dark intentions instead of honorable ones. It's scary what drives some, to do what they do. And it's obvious not all have the same moral basis. It's amazing how many people don't have issue with stealing, or lying, not just being wrong about something, but deliberately lying, on purpose, knowing ahead of time that what is being said isn't correct with the intent to hurt or smear another or group, or for personal gain. And trying to be an angel in a dark world is near impossible, for no matter how good or noble you may think you are, there's always about 80% of others who will think you're a demon. No one will ever have an 100% approval rating, not even Saints did while alive, not even Jesus himself did or does. Seems societies more hostile towards Jesus today than ever before. Dark energy seems to be everywhere and flowing through everyone. Seems the only place to find this all loving god anymore is to retreat into own imagination. (Assuming self is good, cause if self not good, than looking within one may find a demon) And if 'good' isn't a shared laid out calibration of principles, than every one walks around with conflicting right and wrong principles. Without universal moral calibration, there really isn't anything accept the public law of the land, which can change depending on who's in power and writing those laws. And peoples inability to forgive, move on, and not always have to have their way politically, is another thing I find very ugly these days. Those in the media display very ugly traits, and set very bad examples of behavior for all. To find the world you're looking for (assuming you're good), than one has to retreat, not expand. For the further outward one looks, the uglier it gets.

Prayer and Praying?I don't pray anymore, yet I notice drug dealers do, powerful Cartel members do (From Netflix 'Narcos series). These powerful drug Cartels do pray and build shrines, and have way more money, wealth, protection, than I do, and many other common types. So what God is answering their prayers? And if I pray, start praying, would the same thing occur in my life?, would I suddenly be propelled to riches? But I don't want nor need riches, all I want, ask for, is enough money to where don't have to mindlessly work anymore for job that smothers my creativity and leaves me with nothing at end of day or week accept a feeling of isolation and neglect. I don't pray anymore, but maybe I should start it up again...and or would God be insulted if I did? I mean if 'God' already knows everything, they're probably very insulted at my actions, angered that I drifted away years ago, angry that I stopped going to church, angry that I've made very poor decisions in life that have hurt 'me', not others, but myself. And now I want to 'come back' simply cause I want a better outcome in life? Would that be using 'God' to get what I want?...and if so wouldn't that make God upset? Also, whenever I pray, on those few occasions, seems just the opposite occurs. If I say 'Please God, don't let me run into this person', the very first person I run into is the one I asked God to shield me from, and I could give other examples. Prayer scares me, cause then it becomes a 'blame game' if what you prayed for doesn't go your way, and it took me years to fall out of that trap of always blaming God for everything, years. Now when things go wrong, I don't blame anyone or anything, I just curse a bit...hmm I mean once I start expecting 'God' to change things (to my favor) in my life, and it doesn't occur, than naturally I'd start blaming God for not listening or caring. (a trap many fall into) But if I don't ask, I cannot blame. But if I don't ask, maybe I'll never get or receive either....

For some reason you make me want to cry, reading the above. I wish I were 'God' right now so I could physically hug you, sorry pal, life makes no sense at all, especially if you're truly good on the inside.

I still haven't gotten down on hands and knees to pray, I still haven't 'bowed' to a God I can't see, I mean what if by doing so I'm bowing to a demon? Just because I think it's 'God' (the good one) I'm bowing to, doesn't mean it's so. To me, prayer is almost like VoodooTo me, prayer is almost like voodoo, in that I'd be summoning some odd spirit that I'm hoping is 'good' and has my best interest at hand, when in reality it could be Captain Howdy from the Exorcist. (yes, that's me in picture) If I get on my hands and Knees I have no idea what I'm bowing to, could be some interdimensional being laughing at me saying 'Look, we got that stupid human to bow to us'. I don't know, I wish I didn't over think everything. I do observe, from TV, that a lot of powerful, billionaire, drug cartel types pray, and build temples and are very religious, and they thrive as a result, in that they seem to think it's their 'gods' that keep them safe, as they slaughter others. None of it makes sense to me anymore. I do want to pray, but just not sure if I can summon the right deity. I was taught that 'Jesus' is the correct deity, but just because I say their name before or while I pray on my knees, doesn't mean they'll be the one standing in front of me. I doubt Jesus even likes me anymore. I have sinned, and according to the bible sin makes god flee far away from you. And why would god respond to me, when the needs of so many others go unanswered? I just do not know. I do know I don't feel like getting on hands and knees and kneeling before nothing. And this idea that a 'God' would be impressed with me doing that would make such a god kind of petty. I don't know I just don't know but wish I did.
