My Philosophy 
Category: Writing and Poetry 

Nobody here is buying anything you're trying to sell them
So you don't need to worry about what they think of you
Share what's in your heart
Don't think of what other people think of you
What attracts other people to you is God's spirit in you
Working through you to help others
They're not attracted to you
They're attracted to God's spirit within you
You either have God's spirit in you
Or you don't
You can't fake it
People will know
Let me illustrate
If there were people sitting in a dark room with unlit candles
And you walked into the room with a lit candle
You could light one other person's candle with yours
They in turn could light other people's candles
And so on
Until the entire room was filled with lit candles
And that is how the sunlight of God's spirit works
It isn't you who does the work
It's God's spirit
Working through you
To help others
Who in turn will go off
And help others still
The Judeo Christian religion teaches that we ask God
To come down from his mythical throne
And live with us in our hearts
Practical experience shows that the act
Of just asking does nothing
When we help God's kids without expecting
Anything back in return
Even when it's not convenient
Even when your family gets put out a little
God will then give us what He wants to give us
That is all
You don't get to decide what's best for you
You do not know what's best for you
God does
You were born into a world full of sin
Your mind is driven and ruled
By the lust of your flesh
And always will be
No matter who you think you are
No man is an island unto himself
We all need a super natural power
As men we have no power
That power is God
May you find him now
You are asleep
You are in a psychic slumber
Your world as you perceive it was built on a lifetime 
Of misconceptions, false beliefs, other people's bad ideas
Those ideas were born out of huge egos and greed
Where have your beliefs gotten you
Are you where you want to be now
When you look back at your life
Sitting in your rocking chair
At 90 years old
Would you be satisfied with the effort
You put into your life thus far
The only way to wake up from your psychic slumber
Is to turn your back on the beliefs of the world
Powerful rich men are evil
Yet you worship those men and the posessions they have
Therefore you are also evil
Turn away from the false belief that anyone
Or anything other than yourself could make you happy
You don't need the things of this world
That you were taught would make you happy
You don't need anyone else's approval
No one's approval
But your own
For any reason at any time
From here on in
And throughout eternity
You will argue that you will become an outcast
Fine, follow the world
Live a lie
For the rest of your life
Stay asleep
I choose to listen to the voice within
The sound of the wind without
The stars, the moon, the trees, and even the cosmos
Are all trying to tell you something
But because your mind is not still
You cannot receive the message from the stars
You cannot receive the message from the trees
You cannot receive the message from the cosmos
All living things communicate
At different frequencies
And in different languages
Quiet your mind
Listen to the sound of your breathing
Relax, and be alert
Let go of everything
The world is full of people running around for false reasons
Trying to get nowhere
Driven by their egos
They are numb to you and what makes you happy
They will run you over
And hurt you
If you let them
If you do God's will, (not your own, or what you THINK His will 
is), and help his kids
God will restore you to your right mind
You will be able to resist the temptations of this false world
That would destroy you
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you
If you are cripled inside
You cannot hide it
You can put on wild clothes and do your hair
You can go out and kick up your heels
But you will repel people that are well
And attract people that are cripled inside like you
It is a universal principle
You must first clear away the things 
that stand between you and your creator
Forget yourself
And when your not even looking
You will find yourself
Right where you are supposed to be
Nothing on God's green earth happens by mistake
God either is or he isn't
There's no in between
If he's only half a God
Then he couldn't even make a fly
He must be either everything, or nothing
Do not isolate
Get out and get involved in helping others
You have to give away things of value
Like your time
And your love
If a rich man gives away a million dollars
It's less than if you give an hour of your time
To someone who needs you to listen
People are lonely creatures
Find a lonely one and be his friend
Never preach to him or tell him what you would do
Let him tell his story
When he's done you tell yours
He will soon realize that you are just like him
He will lower his guard
Tell you what's bothering him
Why he finds himself in this predicament
He may not get better
But you will
You gave but an hour of your time
And got back the keys to the kingdom 
Patience and tollerance
Of other people's viewpoints, attitudes, and actions
Is what makes us an attraction
Rather than a promotion
Nobody likes a self promoter
