WHO ARE WE AND WHY ARE WE HERE?
I love to watch
the History Channel and Ancient Aliens.
It always begs the questions, who are we and why are we here? Everyone wonders from the day we acquire
wonder and logic. Some religions teach
that we are not to question our existence at all. Just Trust …. Have Faith. Is there a God that would keep us from
seeking knowledge and answers to our burning questions? Sometimes, I guess, it’s none of our business
until we are evolved enough to do something with these profound answers.
"Then put your little hand in mine There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb......Babe." - Sonny and Cher.
Science, Nature
and Religion are slowly merging as we evolve into the people we are meant to
be. What if we are an experiment in a little petri dish? Were
we planted here by aliens or “The Powers That BE”? If so, our history as humans has evolved at
an incredible rate. Things we learned in
school and at church about ourselves doesn’t jive with current science
discoveries. AND, how did our ancient
ancestors make all the HUGE structures all over the world with such precision? Examples have been studied and found to be
almost impossible to have been produced without help from other sources.
The Sphinx is a
good example. This wonder has been found to be so much older than originally
thought. Original thought on the age
would be about 5,000 years old. Most
recently, Egyptologists suggest that it was built by an advanced civilization
and is more like 8,000 to 10,000 years old. Anyone ever observe that there is a door by the Sphinx's right ear? Also, that the Sphinx was once submerged in water. There are so many questions about what’s in
there, and what is its purpose? This
still doesn’t answer our questions. We
must take the initiative and the steps to discover what’s already here and put
the puzzle pieces together.
What keeps
popping into my mind is that possibly we have been put here to Live, Love,
Learn, Create and Invent. We are
different from other beings on this planet. We have our thumbs, superior
intelligence, we walk upright, and we have the gift of logic, and the absence of
prehensile tails, just to mention a few human attributes. This is NOT to say that other beings on this
planet aren’t intelligent. Just look at
our super-dog, Puck. He has us
completely hornswoggled.
What about coincidental
occurrences of huge events that are recorded in history as having happened at
the same time all over this planet, i.e. deities in various cultures are recorded
instruction, advice, lessons, rules and commandments. There have been massive floods, and
astronomical occurrences. And why did we ever think that we could be the only
ones in our universe or anywhere else?
Is it enough to
just be good, create good, be kind and lift up our fellow human brothers and
sisters? Where does our energy go when our bodies have given up…...used and
ravaged from our life’s’ missions and struggles here on this planet? What of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo
that we have been taught about? Is there
a waiting line to get into the most prime places after death to see the Face
of God, or the ravages of Hell? Does our
spirit (energy) get recycled to Live, Love and Learn another time and
place? Or, does our energy/spirit wander
aimlessly if we don’t qualify for any of the assigned places we are raised to
believe in from birth? These are the
thoughts that buzz through my mind in the night and early mornings when I’m
supposed to be sleeping.
I still believe
that there is a God, and that I am not She, and that my prayers are heard. And
I offer my prayer request to The Powers That Be: Please help me be kind, creative and loving
in my remaining days; that I may do at least one kindness today, and every day. My prayer for my friends, family and all
others is that your most fervent prayers be answered.
