"You are Attractive" (Pt. 1)

     You are attractive. Sounds a bit odd. But, it is categorically true. The human body is wired for attraction. Science investigates the natural world, discovering that which is discoverable. However, the U.S Patent Office is not closing any time soon. Whole lot of discovering going on. The natural world contains what has been referred to as "the spiritual world".

     The natural world is the incarnate spiritual world; they are the same. For example, whatever exists is real. Whatever is real is also natural. God is real. God is natural, not supernatural. The Spirit is real, and yet is often considered supernatural. Supernatural, that with is above or beyond or not part of nature, is an illusion because it is not part of what exists, because what exists is considered real or nature.

     One may then argue that nothing is real until it is discovered. However, how can anything be discovered if it is not real? The natural world holds many secrets, undiscovered truths, untold numbers of facts that remain in the darkness of man's ignorance. These yet undiscovered realities hold many treasures, surprizing truths, and vast open vistas. Perhaps in the future, mankind will conclude that 21st century man lived in a most primitive, almost uncivilized manner. What is today ridiculed as simply "faith-based" or "supernatural" could one day be seen as a foundation for all "natural" phenomena.

     What has all of that got to do with the fact that you are attractive?  (see Pt. 2)

 

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

      We rented the movie Life of Pi last night. Interesting. Thought provoking. Symbolic. Young boy Pi has some problems. Fairly serious problems, too. He negotiates these trials and tribulations very well.  What makes the movie more than just a series of experiences is what the experiences mean to Pi. The situations and conclusions are singularly Pi's to interpret, to define. That's the real movie. That's real life. That's what is most important. We cannot control every life situation or outcome, but we can say with confidence what every situation and every outcome means to us. Interpreting life is ours to do, and only ours. Purpose and meaning are ours to determine. In other words, it's not what happens that defines our life…it's what we think about what happens that defines our life. 

     We discover in our education of "how things work" that thinking is everything, and that our everyday lives are defined by us in any fashion we choose. Our behavior, emotions, experiences, are in and of themselves nothing without our definitions, explanations, and assigned meanings. Personal responsibility is the key to understanding how one can take charge of his or her life, changing it this way or that, or feeling a certain way about it all. When you change your thinking and you change your life and ultimately YOU.
