Keep the guns

Gun Control

Okay. 

I wish we lived in a world where we didn't need guns, obviously. Where they didn't have to exist. Not because we would have some other kind of machinery, technology and/or ways to impose laws. 

But because we wouldn't need laws.  Not laws reinforced by punishment and institutions run by people who don't know us or love us. 

I envision a utopia free from the hatred and anger that generally inspires gun use.  I don't think guns are necessary, truthfully, even with things as they are now. But it seems we've used weapons since we needed it solely for food procurement back before we even developed speech.

I mean think about it, we learned to kill before we learned to say "I love you", maybe language developed around simply trying to find more, better ways to say I love you. Lol. One can have hope. 

Moving on back to guns. If we are to believe Buddha stopped a raging elephant, Jesus healed the ill, Moses parted water....to name but a few, and they all professed to be exactly like us. No better, no different, except they were "awakened" to the truth. The truth of God. 

Then why can't we not have this power to manipulate nature; to manipulate our world?  Then why would guns be necessary?  I don't believe that they necessarily were manipulating the world though. I am of the belief that they were simply correcting errors, they were following the path they needed, following Gods order and quite simply because of that; all that needed to happen happened, because that is how it was meant to be. So. What do we need guns for if we can do that? If we are to believe what great profits have told us, these people that we pray to and adulate; then why do we not believe this?  Do you believe any of what they say at all? Do you listen?  Truly listen?  Or are you just into religion for the parts that help you to get what you want, when you want it?  

So without believing in it, in having these powers, realizing we can posses these powers, learning about them, then we are susceptible to things. Things that may need guns; like rabid, rabbis infected animals, for instance. 

Closest to perfect as could be?

When God created you, up to the very instant you were born, you were absolutely perfect. Your heart and soul belonged fully and completely to God. It was one with God. Then you breathed your first sigh and God gave you to the world, for you to be in charge of your own heart and soul. 

Fortunately, some of us got to feel that love immediately again through the love and care of a parent or ? But no matter how much that person or people love us it will never be enough, because it will never be equal to Gods love. God loves us unequivocally, unconditionally, at all times, in every instant, every moment with arms outstretched reaching to tend to us. And no matter how much we love ourselves either we will never equal the great love granted us by God. Fortunately these things aren't mutually exclusive. Love yourself all you absolutely can, as much as God does (if you can). Accept all the love you can from those giving it to you. But realize that the spaces in your heart that sometimes feel like that's not enough need to be filled with God. God is the only thing that can fill that void. 

Give it to God. Give yourself over to God. In whatever that means for you, because it means different things to each of us. How do you do this?  Exactly how?  You open yourself to life. You open yourself to be completely and brutally honest at all times with all people and in all instances  Like the tree that falls in the deep of the forest; no one has to know that it fell, it lives its truth for itself. So too you must live your truth for yourself. It's the fear. Fear stops you from it. And it's so hard to combat fear. That truly the only way is through love and acceptance. Through the unconditional giving of your fear to God. For God to combat. Fear and evil are just too powerful for us alone to fight. By giving it to God we are letting them fight the battle and we are left to be in peace. Without fear. The only way to truly live.  To be once again as close to perfect as we can be, as our hearts and souls inhabit these bodies in this awesomely absurd journey.
