Greetings fellow children of God,
Welcome to my “life” blog. My purpose in writing this is to serve you all. The people who will benefit most from this are those who are asking the same questions I did. Questions such as: “What is my (our) purpose in life?”, “Why are we here on Earth?”, “Why are there so much suffering, disease, tragedy, sadness, poverty?”, “What are we meant to learn in our life?”, “Is there really Heaven and Hell?”, “What is good, what is bad?”, “Is there really a God?”, “Why am I asking these questions in the first place?”.
As we live our life, we tend to live it as society dictates it. As children, we play and study. When we go to college, we study and get to experience the “adult” life. After college, we work to earn a living. Eventually, we create a family and work more. After that, what’s next? When we grow old, our mindset/priorities will change. Money, success, power… will be of no value to us. Love is what will be the most important “possession” we have.
When I was young (well, I am still young anyway — currently: age 20), I always thought of what I really wanted in life. At first, I set “true love” as my life’s goal. What does society tell us about “true love”? Society tells us that “true love” is hard to achieve. It takes a lot of sacrifice, enduring pain, beating the odds…. am I correct? Well, since that is how my mindset was formed…. it became real. I thought “true love” is hard… thus it became hard. In a way, I thought achieving “true love” is almost impossible… thus it became almost impossible. I thought “true love” is about sacrifice, thus I had to endure heartaches over and over again.
Something is wrong…. how can something so beautiful as “true love” be so difficult to achieve? The answer: it is because I “wanted” it to be. Later, I will explain further what I mean by this. Eventually, this will all be clear to you. Trust me.
Well, to make a long story short, I started asking more and more questions. Questions like the ones on the first paragraph. I feel like I already know how it feels to live life the way society dictated (study -> work -> family -> retire). I longed for an answer, a new mindset, a new way of living…. and so…. my wish was God’s command. I found the book “Conversations With God” by “Neale Donald Walsch”. Was it a coincidence? No, I searched for an answer… and so I found it.
This is what this blog of mine is all about. “Answers”
I will be answering all the questions about life. Questions I stated in my first paragraph, and questions our readers asks me. I always have time for this. Because I am a messenger of God. This is my soul’s purpose… and I am living it now… I am enjoying every single moment of this. And that is why, this blog came to reality. 
For now, I will end my first entry here. This is not the end, but only the beginning of a wonderful journey. The journey to Christness. The journey of unity. The journey of love. The journey our soul yearns for: “Our journey”

hmmm. good points however society is one of the key elements for a civilization to survive. the shaping of the society is where it all went wrong. as for structured religion, it is there as a means of control. and yeah, true love is really full of hardships and sacrifices.

Hi “ra”,
Yes, what you said are correct. Let me share some of my point of view regarding this topic:
[1] The shaping of society is where it all went wrong.
Well, during the time society is being shaped, it is “right”. It is now that much time has passed that people’s consciousness beings to grow. Now, we see that there are “problems” in the system of our society. And we blame the “shaping of it”.
There is really no “right” and “wrong”. What changes is our definition of “Who We Are” and “Who We Choose To Be”.
[2] As for structured religion, it is there as a means of control.
My thoughts? Yes you are “right”. Religion exists because people wanted something to believe in. It is there because we “created” it. People feel lost if they do not have anything to believe on… thus they cling to religion.
Since there are various religions, they became structured so that they become more “believable”. Thus ensuring more people believe in it… and creating their “Truth”.
My purpose here is to bring Light to the people. My purpose is to bring out our TRUE potential and not become contained by limitations.
[3] True love is really full of hardships and sacrifices.
Again, my thoughts… yes and no. Yes, it is full of hardships and sacrifices… if that is your definition of true love. Now that I know what true love is all about… I will say no.
I already experienced true love. Its just that I didn’t realize it all this time. True love is about growth… not about “expectations” and “obligations”. There is no right and wrong… all there is is growth. By growing, what I mean is… we get to experience “Who We Are” and “Who We Choose to Be”. That is what relationships are all about.
Relationships is not about changing the other person. It is about accepting. It is not about separation, it is about unity. True love is wonderful! Trust me.

[1] you have good points but don’t you think that the society has already shaped our definitions of “who we are” and “who we choose to be”? think of it, remove all the corporate monstrosities and the commercial tentacles (which are part of the society that has been shaped and continually transforming), what do you think we have? these social structures have been creating needs and wants in order to survive and who then created this structures. just think of it, back then, the precolonial times here in the Philippines, there is little trace of corruption. even the datus of the tribe have to till their lands in order to gain and eat something – equal to that of their subjects. it just so happens that they have decisions to make for the tribe but still, there is equality. come the spaniards, what then happened? it is during those times that the Philippine society was being shaped and hell, what happened to us now? we have been affected with all the colonial mentalities and bullcraps they brought with them and up to this day, we are still being manipulated by the society that was shaped by the foreign powers.
well for the 2nd and 3rd comments you have, i have no counter arguments for them (especially on the 3rd one… it was “growth” all this time and you made me reflect on the past relationships i had).
now, just my question. if we cling to the notion of “who we are” and “who we choose to be” and as you say and there is no such thing as “right” and “wrong”, “good” and “bad”, who then could we assure ourselves that it is what we want to be? i mean, how could we decide if there is no moral compass? you have good points that “good” and “bad” was created only by man however, don’t you think that there really is such things. i cannot argue about conscience since it is also shaped by the society we function in. but i think that somehow, there is a universal good or bad paths. just for example, if you have watched schindler’s list, oscar schindler was a german and his thoughts about jewish persecution was shaped by german thinking. so with that, he could have just ignored the right path, which is to save the jews from death but he didn’t. he risked his financial standing and his reputation for those lives (which is way off the german thinking back then). as he said, “true power is when we all have the justification to kill them and we don’t.” so now, position that with good/evil, isn’t it much like what he said? for the germans then, it was good to cleanse the earth of jewish blood but he opposed that sensing that there is something more than what he think or what he thought to believe was good. as i said, what we come to believe as morally right and wrong is set by the society we grew in but just take a look in oscar schindler’s life and see how there somehow exists a universal truth about good/evil. i hope i delivered my arguments well enough to be understood (i have this tendency to be confused with my own words and loose my meaning in the process).
cheers!

My goal here is to create awareness. To bring Light to this world. You said you have a tendency to be confused with your own words and loose meaning…. let me help you. Together, I will show you the Light such that you will never have to be confused again. =)

Hope you remember me. I’ve read almost every entry you had in this site with just one sitting. I admire your views, the way you reason, the way you see these things which some people even though in their whole life/lifetime could never have seen/see or understand, your consistent answers and most of all your valor to put this all up and to relay what you really feel. But despite all my admiration and being Archaic towards what you feel.. I still have question’s that I think I already know what you’re going to say but I’d like to hear it from you.. My query goes: “Your feelings, your thoughts, your awareness of the ’spiritual’ and all of your ideas, were they affected by YOUR society? By the way you want to view them? By the way you wanted to believe on those ‘facts’? Was God your basis for all this? Were your ideas came from the religion you grew in? With Catholicism/Christianity? … If that is so? from whom did you hear God from? Where did you get the idea that there is a God? The ideas that you know came from people around you right?” And before I end this, I know it’s long, but I hope you take time to read this and also answer some of the questions that you have understood. I tried my best to say what’s on my mind, like “ra” I have this tendency to eat my own words too and getting them all confused with what I’m trying to say. I think everything you did and have achieved came from God, whether you like it or not, it may not be directly but it still made an impact on you.. If you didn’t believed in God, you wouldn’t have came this far nor will you reach your current state. Am I right? So you still dictated that there is a God? You still dictated your own right from wrong? So how can you be so sure about your facts, your decisions, your views and your principle(s). From the fact that you got these ideas based from what you believe(d) in?” My point is, I think that what “ra” said about UNIVERSAL right or wrong still exists. This will never end… hahaha. Thanks “DK”

Wrong usage of word in the statement:
WERE your ideas came from the religion you grew in? With Catholicism/Christianity?
DID your ideas came from the religion you grew in? With Catholicism/Christianity?”
