A fact is based off other facts reinforcing the fact that it is in fact, a fact. But in order for the first fact to be deemed as a fact, the previous facts must also be reinforced. The only way to reinforce a fact, is with other facts.
So when it all boils down to it, there must be a universal fact (or multiple) that cannot be reinforced any further so that means that these facts are in fact, not.
So the things we are told and the things we learn, do they really account for anything? Isn't there this magnificent chance that somewhere down the line a mistake was made? Isn't it possible, or even likely?
Curse at me, degrade me, insult me all you want but at least leave an answer.
Thank you.

But, as irony shall have it, you are visited by the Demon of Linear Logic and Imagination, pestering your last breathes with your only apparent options: On the one hand, forcing you to look straight into the eyes of a Universal Whim making a meaningless puppet out of your precious consciousness. On the other, offering you the glooming contract of an eternal and spiritual afterlife of condemnation in Heaven, Hell or the Collective Universal Consciousness. ......… And then just as you start feeling sorry for yourself and wondering why your glorious awareness had ever existed in the first place, you begin to see the light – The Nothingness Light – that will take you on The Enigmatic Journey of The Anomalous Path. ....... Will (or better yet, Can) your Free Will or even Realistic Sanity stand in the way, THEN? :-)

God would not be omnipotent unless he were able to create other omnipotent beings. The question is since God has the power why did he not create man as an equal. We could all be super friends together sharing our powers of omnipotence.

IADOM. It's a sentence, each letter begins a word. It has to do with principles you should have, like being diligent.

In my mind I think of her,
A soldier standing alone
Rifle by her side.
Wind blowing sand and dirt
Around her pretty face
Her light brown hair whipping about
My daughter the Marine.
It does not seem that long ago
A young girl full of pride and optimism
Signed the line to be one of America’s few
She became one of America’s proud
She did her very best, became the very best.
She stood tall in the worst of times.
Her body and mind fighting fatigue
Some of those times with
Tears rolling down her cheeks.
I think war does that
To the strongest of all of us.
Even to My daughter the Marine.
At home I cry
I admit I’m scared
Scared for her, scared for me.
I miss her, I miss our talks.
Now everything is “classified”
Or “You don’t want to know….”
And maybe I don’t
My daughter has changed.
In good ways…
She has matured in ways
I never thought she would
And bad…she is bitter
My daughter the Marine.
She hates the media
As far as she is concerned
She is just doing her job
And she wants to be left alone
Nevertheless you can see the hurt in her eyes
In her demeanor, in her spirit.
She will not be “re-upping”
She’s tired
My daughter the Marine
For the few who are ignorant
Who base their opinions on what is trendy.
There are still those who understand
Who are not ignorant
Who base their decisions on information
And well thought-out ideas.
I need not agree with the war
To support America, to support our soldiers
To hurt for our country…
To cry for our soldiers.
Just like My daughter the Marine.
It is my duty to look a little deeper.
A little deeper at my daughter.
Yes, she has changed
However, the fundamentals never will.
Watch her when the pledge
Of allegiance is spoken
You will find she stand straighter
Than any person in the room.
When the Star Spangled banner is sung
You will hear her voice sing louder,
Above all others.
She loves this country.
She has shown me by
Serving through blood, sweat and tears.
By volunteering six years of her life to protect me.
You may not consider her great.
And the world knows little of its greatest heroes…
Tonight I honor and salute my hero
My daughter the Marine.

Don't get me wrong. I love my life, but it can't always be fun and enjoyable. There are things that everyone has to do in order maintain their lives as stable. You have to do what you have to do to get what you want. When I am in that "have to" stage in my day, I tend to go through it with a stoic, calculation and efficiency of a robot, I guess. It doesn't cause me distress, but it is hard to ignore compared to how I am when I am enjoying the fruits of my labor; loose, spontaneous, easy going and doing what I like. Does anyone else out there have this sense of duality?

I want to know what the meaning of time actually is. Could it be possible that all existence is living on different levels of consciousness. Did yesterday really happen, is tomorrow just a concept? Is this question even valid?

I don't need to be validated or anything like that. I just wish I knew more clairaudients to see what they do with their gift. My guide's name is Gar and the work that we do is in the field of autism, mostly. I prescribe for the kids and they get better. I've never met any other clairaudients and from what I've seen on the Internet, most of them seem so ... well, crazy. Children with autism are like puzzles, each are so different and most of their parents are so confused. They usually need things like DHA in cod liver oil and lots of Vitamin B6 because the measles virus is like the HIV, which depletes the brain of Vitamin B6 and other nutrients so we put them on a Vitamin Therapy and I give their parents a list of the most nutrient-dense foods known to mankind, little things like this. I also write letters to people, celebrities, mostly, to give them ideas on how to make an impact in the world, like, for instance, I wrote to a holy man about where the cure for cerebral palsy was

Have you ever wondered what comes after the end of the universe or what organisms make a cell, and beyond that and beyond that...

I think Science is what sets parameters and then operates within those conditions. When one looks beyond those parameters, that one shall seek "GOD".
