Deeper Meanings

I feel sure that there are deeper meanings in all that we see, and we are content to just scratch the surface of our reality or non-reality if you prefer...

Life is odd. I keep trying to figure it out and just when I think I've got it I get a slap. We're here in imperfection, dealing with people who are imperfect and trying to perfect ourselves, which we really can't in this life anyway. I realize that I not only am imperfect, but in dealing with imperfect people, I can't expect perfect results.

I feel more like life is more for not only choosing, but trying. Like the idea that superheroes have the ability to be in many different places at once, then choose which place to be in when they need to be there, we choose by making mistakes and then realizing what we really want in life and choosing hopefully the better choice.

I've always believed that everything happens for a purpose, even our mistakes and crap. Who we are is from what we've done, good and bad, and tho theres things I'd like to change about myself, I love who I am. God is smart enough to know exactly whats going to happen and what we're going to choose, and the ultimate Love is to allow us to choose it.

On who I am

I feel different ways about the exact same thing (maybe its my understanding of things?) in other words, I might say that what I think isn't me, but I also understand that it is me in a sense. theres really no way to classify and quantify everything, as much as i try to put myself into a box and say 'this is who I am'. so my thoughts are me and they are not me... theres the insanity that makes sense.

Who am I? I still ask myself this simple but never-ending question. I think it helps to allow me to continue to think about it and understand my world, and my place in it. I realized that I am a never-ending being, who although am encased in a mortal shell, the shell is not me. At death I am still me with or without my body, even though my body will be perfected and restored, the me in I is my spirit.

As soon as I realized that I am eternal and reaffirmed that to myself, I knew that no matter what happened to me in life that it couldn't hurt me, I was free from the worry of death and all the things of this world. I work for the benefit of others after I am gone, so that they will benefit from my work.

Who I am is restraint. If I didn't have some restraint in what I say and do and even think, then I would be a completely different person and would not be here where I am today. The REAL me is who I want to be and not always who I am today. Actually the real me is what I do and think and feel each day, good and bad, and I'm ok with that. I still love who I am and the God who created me. I know God loves you and I even with all of the crap that we give Him, and the crap we put ourselves through. Amazing. I realized a while ago, that there truly was nothing that I could do, or fail to do, that would lose the love of God to me. Sure I live with consequences of my actions, but God will still love me through all of it.

Welcome to the ever changing world of thought

Well, here starts the Philosophy of Rob wherein I will expound the universe, unfortunately right now I have to pee, so I'll expound later...
