(no subject)
7 August 2004 16:01You know what keeps me wondering these days? Well, a lot, heh heh, but especially this: I can have a perception of something and feel it is the one and only truth. I just KNOW it you know and can't really explain it. But then I can meet someone else who has a whole different kind of perception on the same subject and that to him feels like the one and only truth as well. So that keeps me wondering. If I think my truth is right and that other person thinks his truth is right, are they both right then? Both wrong? Is only one of them wrong? Here on earth there can only be right or wrong. If something is green, is can't be red. Clear as that. But...how right is that? Is there only one truth? What if we all make up our own truths and experience them that way? What if all those truths we make up, are real ones?
I've read a lot of books about life after death etc...Some people had near death experiences and they said that when they entered a tunnel of light, they saw beautiful little creatures with wings. Most of the people who had that vision, always believed that in heaven there were angels with wings. And they experienced them. Other people just only experienced a bright light. And some people experienced other creatures who had no real body, you could almost look trough them, but then again you couldn't. And there were other experiences as well. Now, I do believe in all that "life after death" stuff, so I believe all of their stories. However, they are all different, yet, all those people REALLY experienced them. Are they all liars then? I don't think so...I think we are able to create our own image. If we think heaven is all green, then it WILL be all green. Cause it's just only a reflection of who we are. I can experience it as something white, while others might experience it as something dark maybe.
I find it interesting. and I find it even more interesting that we still fight our wars and other things over "perceptions" and "our own truths". We can't accept that there might be different correct answers to just one question. We always try to convince other people that only we are right, and they are all wrong. We fight useless wars over it. Just because we think that "angels can only have wings, and nothing else". We are so stuck in our own way of thinking, we always want explanations for things, we want proof. We want to be right. While all we have to do is accept the fact that others may have a different kind of belief, but it's nevertheless just a real as our own.
Ha...and I know it sounds so easy, and it even is in fact. But we human being somehow always try to do it the hard way...We always point fingers at each other. "She's weird, cause..."
Yeah..she's weird cause she doesn't live up to your perceptions of how life should be. It's so easy to call someone else weird and different. and it's just so easy to think their way of living is just wrong. Just because we think there's only one correct way to live life. But there's not...there are one billion ways to live a life, and all of them are okay, even when they don't seem to be okay, they are. Even though you may think it's totally not okay, that's YOUR truth, it doesn't mean it's wrong though.
In this life (all lives actually) there is no wrong. No mistakes can be made, nothing you do is useless. And it's about time we start to accept it. It would make it a lot easier for us anyway, lol
[and this is MY truth btw....hahahahaha....it doesn't have to be the universal truth ;)]
