People have become so caught up in being people that they forget about their spirits. Or they begin to believe that what someone else says is right for their spirit must be true, just because someone believes in it. Instead of just listening to their spirit and letting it guide them.

Belief is an odd thing.. if you believe anything deeply enough or want to believe something hard enough, you can make it become true.. at least for yourself. People have just forgotten how to listen... to themselves, to each other, to anything and everything. Our thoughts, our own brains seem to get in the way of just being. In that way I evny animals, for they are completely in tune with themselves. There is nothing but instincts and the driving force inside them... because I think all animals have spirits too.

I think that a great deal of the problem stems from what we were raised to believe is true of this world. The people around us as we grew dealt with the same problem that we face. Long ago people stopped listening to what was inside and began to believe they could find peace and answer outside of themselves.

I have the same idea that All events are justified and meant to give everyone a certain expirence that they need. Whether the person in question judges the event as good or bad, it changes their spirit & the spirits of all those affected by them... Good / Bad.. those two words mean nothing to the big picture of life.. Those two words are opinions not facts and not even the same for two different people.

In my opinion there is a greater essence of something.. Mother Earth, God, Allah, Krishna, Jesus, Budha... whatever, to me those names are all just titles that we try to put on something which our words Cannot describe. And that greater essence gives us so many opportunites everyday with our every action and expirence to realize what we truly are inside. But I think the interaction we have with others is the most important.
Especially the little things..
Like someone who is curious about a book left on a table.. their interest in that little book and what they say and do because of that book could completely alter another persons frame of mind. Or several peoples frames of mind... And do you think that our book finder had any intention or thought that what he did would change someone he doesn't even know? Help someone he had never met to find peace of mind and hope in what was once thought hopeless?? No, our book finder did not have those thoughts in his head when he looked over and glanced at a table and saw a book on it. But it's one of those things..
The little things...
