2014 Life .. and belief (part one)

2014 Life

2014/01/03
So here we are at the beginning of 2014.
Another rush year has passed.

As I am writing this I am am sitting at Surf, overlooking Maputo Bay.


The question that has been on top of my mind the last couple of weeks, if not months cannot be ignored any longer.

What do I really believe, not what have I been taught, but what do I believe, deep down? And I started questioning things?

What if this was all an elaborate hoax? What if there really are aliens controlling us? But, then again ...
Aliens are an interesting and exiting theory to consider because it is shrouded in mystery and suspense, intrigue and conspiracy. Look at all the publicity that Area 51 is getting!

But then again, the scientific community is still looking for signs of alien life. The laws of nature prohibits the existence and influence of aliens on the human race. Aliens will have to travel faster than light or break the laws of physics to get to us.

So, if not aliens, then what? Did we start out as a single cell amoeba in the ocean and evolve till where we are now? I do not believe that either, however I do accept the premise of selective species improvement / evolution. I believe that the characteristics of a species can change over a period of time. The same way that different and exotic varieties of roses are cultivated.

If not aliens or evolution then what? Where did all the creatures on earth come from? The trees, the plants, the sea creatures, humans, where do we all come from?

What about gods, Zeus, Eros, Thor,  Astarte and whatever other gods and demi-gods there are? They sure do make for interesting mythological stories, but are they there? Do they exist? What happened to their worship?

With all this said, there are some inexplicable bits in the Bible, for instance the Nefilinm (sons of god) that had sex with daughters of men and produced giants, (Genesis 6) and then Ezekiel 1 where he saw a vision of a wheel within a wheel, kind of like a gyroscope. This sounds like aliens, so .... are they here? Did they, do they have an influence on us?

 For me everything has a pattern. Everything consists of Atoms, atoms are made up of a nucleus with one or more electrons orbiting it.

Our solar system has a sun and planets orbiting it, the Milky Way Galaxy has multiple stars (solar systems) with planets orbiting it All the solar systems in our galaxy are orbiting the centre of the galaxy. Then there are multiple galaxies in the universe orbiting the super massive black hole in the centre of the universe. There is order in this chaos, from atomic to universal level. Does it mean anything? This must come from somewhere. It could not just happen.. or could it?

So what do I believe .....?

Every day you are beaten

I came across this post from Bryan Ward this morning: Every day you are beaten :  Beaten by the leaky sink you keep avoiding. Beaten by the applesauce on the wall you keep not scrubbing off. Beaten by the dent in the drywall you keep putting off fixing. You long to conquer mountains, yet every day you are beaten by molehills. All these little problems… they should be so easily solved. Yet they go on defeating you, day after day, until at last you conclude that you are not a capable man: If you are this easily defeated, “surely” you do not have what it takes to win the bigger fights: to become your fittest self, to create a business empire, to create works of art that will outlast you. Hell, you can’t even fix a leaky sink: might as well f*** off and go watch TV. But you’ve misdiagnosed the problem entirely. … One summer day when I went into the workshop, I saw that the plastic gas cans by the tractor were bulging like balloons. I had left the vents closed, and the heat of

Life's values .... or Character

I practice Sonhahm Taekwondo. One of the goals of the ATA is to instill certain life skills in the students, and in so doing build their character. At the beginning of each class or event we recite a declaration or oath. To me, the declarations we make, is also about how we should conduct ourselves as people in everyday life. I have spent a long time in the Defense Force and as a young officer we were taught the skills of Courtesy, Loyalty and Respect. I just wish that we can teach these same skills to the public at large. I am seeing and experiencing the lack of courtesy, loyalty, respect, integrity and self-control that the people have around me. People of a non-profit group being outright rude, children being rude to their parents, senior (in rank but junior in age) people being rude to juniors (in rank but senior in age). What happened to common decency, courtesy, and respect? We do not have self-control, and we do not teach our children self-control and even th

The heresy of worshiptainment | Mike Livingstone

The heresy of worshiptainment | Mike Livingstone : "More recently, David Platt has asked: “What if we take away the cool music and the cushioned chairs? What if the screens are gone and the stage is no longer decorated? What if the air conditioning is off and the comforts are removed? Would His Word still be enough for his people to come together?” (Radical)"
