God

Have you found God yet?

Don't worry, I'm not out to convert you. In fact, on a casual level I would say that I am an athiest.

Why I say casual is that though I believe in God, I don't believe in relegion. And hence I frequently find it easier to answer that I am an Athiest, because that is what my beliefs translate into for a lot of people. I have no respect for any God, simple because they are not my Gods.

I believe that I am God.

Yes, I know how incredibly arrogant that sounds, and trust me I am actually quite an humble guy. Let me explain what I mean by this statement.

To believe in God is in the end all a matter of faith. No one can really proove the existance or disexistance of God, but if you have faith on God, then he exists as far as you are concerned. So basically what I am saying is that your God is your choice. And if God is indeed a matter of choice, then why not choose to have a belief which empowers you rather than disempowers you. And the most empowering belief would be to believe that you yourself are your God. That God is inside you. That you are in control of your destiny, and that at some level you decide what happens to your world.

I personally feel that those who see God as someone other than themselves, someone who they talk to and someoone they turn to in times of need and someone they hope is listening to them; well; these folks are just disempowering themselves. They are taking their destiny out of their hands.

I believe that I chose the life that I am living, and if I am not satisfied with it, then I alone have the power to choose to make it different. I chose everything that happens to me, good or bad. Why do I choose the bad things? Well, because I need to learn something from them.

Those of you who have read Richard Bach will find all this very familiar, and rightly so because a lot of my beliefs in life have been influenced by him.

But more on him in a later post.

take care,

Who am I?

No,this is not an exestential peice like the title suggests, tho I do think of myself as a lay philosopher, but I am not going to submit you to the torture of reading half baked theories of yet another philosopher who dreams of being remembered even three four hundred years after his death, tho I must say that I do appreciate those who do manage that - being remebered so many years after their death that is. That is a subject I will come to in a future blog. But I do think I am quite an articualte guy - which is something I can thank my jeans oops I meant genes for. I am a poor speller and I sure hope that this thing has a spell checker at the end of it.

So anyway before I ramble too much and loose my audience, let me say what I really want to say in my first blog - who am I?

I am an Indian

I am a woman lover.

These are just about the only two things about me that I can say with any certainity.

I love my country, I love the fact that I was born in the country which is the birth place of eastern mysticism and the Gita.

Have I read the Gita - well no, but it has effected my heroes sufficiently for me to regard it in high respect - there must be something to it. Who are my heroes - well you'll discover them by and by as I am sure to write on them in future blogs.

The second thing about myself that I can say with surety is that I love women. I absolutely love women - always have and always will. Probably.

There is nothing else I can say for sure about myself. A few years ago I thought I was a finance guy, currently I think I am a trainer, and I don't know what I will think of, about myself a few years down the line.

So let me sign off with that today, tho I am tempted to write more. Let me chew a bit more on what I want to write next and then write it.

love,
