Hi Sandy: Interesting blog. I just went for a walk and passed two churches and could hear all the people inside singing hymns praising their God. I am always shocked at how many people seem to be able to believe there is a God, yet for me it is nothing more than a fairy tale, no proof, no evidence whatsoever. Another thing I wonder about is 'prayer'. All these people sending in millions maybe billions of prayer requests all over the world every day. If this God of theirs has a master plan, why are they asking him to use his discretion and change his plan for them?? Also it seems so selfish to ask God to fix some problem in their life, when millions of people around the world have no food or water and are running for their lives from bombs and terrorists.

You are not alone in your wondering. Many of us have devoted out lives to studying this. Way too complex to answer in a blog but some of us believe that "God" is something within us and everything else. An underlying energy (and remember energy can neither be created nor destroyed) that keeps it all connected and working. It's something that operates like a computer program running in the background. With effort, intent and quietness some of us manage to hear/ see/ feel/ sense/ know this energy / thing. Some even learn how to tap into the flow and become some of the master teachers. Example Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad etc.. Religion and churches are man's poor attempt to explain, understand and organize the uncomprehendable and unorganizable. They probably began with good intent bt have been corrupted by human nature and are used to control others, gain power and other human things. I like the Jewish approach that God is not something you can learn about and study. It is something that is experienced. On a personal level I was born with "extra frequencies". It has been scientifically/ medically established that I can hear sounds at frequencies most humans can't and can "see" light frequencies that most human's can't. I also have "learning disabilities" or difficulties in tuning into to the frequencies and vibrations normal humans do. I spent many years studying religions to try to understand this. There is far more to it than we can see, understand or know. We just have to accept some things anyway and that is contrary to human ego. Science helps us understand the why and how it all works but with or without science it just keeps working anyway. I think this is what you mean by things only being revealed to us when we are ready. I could go on and on but it is impossible to explain briefly what it took me a lifetime to figure out. Spiritwoman ^i^

Dan - I think this is what I meant when I said that God is an experience, not something you learn. You put the experience in a framework that resonates with you. So wonderful that you had this experience and that, like experiencing God does, it changed your life. Spiritwoman ^i^

Faith is a belief system. You either have faith in the biblical God, something spiritual etc, evolution or dont even think about it. You either believe in creation or random chance. It's our experiences from our basic faith foundation that push us forward into our belief system until something changes it. I had an experience like Dan, though not in prison but in a church, not all warm and fuzzy but a terror. Long story but I was in a church for very wrong reasons and God hit me with such a dread and multiple revelations all at once that I was basically "terrified into His kingdom." Not your normal 'Jesus loves you story'. It was God, nothing else could have done that to me. And for skeptics, no I wasnt on drugs. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.
