The Spirit Creator

So the conversation went like this

M: Is there a god?

Y: There is but not in the form that people think it is.

M: So what it is?

Y: I cannot really answer that question. However, you may perceive God form in the story that follows. It is a story of a young man who loves to read the story of the deceased spirits because he believes that by reading their books he will be able to find the secret of life. He is particularly fond of one book who tell the tales of this wonderful king and warrior who was touched by the grace of God.  He had built an army of followers who were ready to die for him so that God's ultimate scheme for his life could be accomplished. He is so fond of the story that he decide to become a follower of the precepts and advice of the deceased spirit so that he is able to meet his destiny.

M: Isn't it how most religions are organised, we have a prophet who help us to find our way to God.

Y: Yes, it appears to be a mean to an end. One must be careful to distinguish messages from the invisible to messages from the deceased spirit.

M: Why?

Y: Choosing the deceased spirit as the creator of one's life can be disastrous. God scheme for the deceased life has already been accomplished. He followed his own heart in the context in which he lived, he developed his own practice and conducted his behaviour to fit in with people he was with at a particular point in time. The life of the deceased may be quite different from the lives of most people today. The same applies to the self-help books of the living being who are too quick to direct the lost soul. The lover of books can forget to listen to himself and experience the Now. Before he knows it, all spirits are directing his or her life.

M: so how to distinguish the spirits from God so we accomplish our own scheme.

Y: Good question. This is quest, we all have to go through.

Footpaths Leicester

Footpaths Leicester is a way for people to meet and support each other to reduce their personal carbon footprints. It offers a structured, supportive and fun environment in which people can work out what they want to change in your life to reduce your carbon footprint - and a community of like minded people to do it with.  They provide a structure course of eight meetings with two facilitators and people to do it with. Beyond the course, Footpaths provide support to support people to continue on improving their personal carbon footprint, through one off events, workshops and get together. How did I get involved with Footpaths Leicester? I wanted to find out how grassroots organisation support people through change to facilitate the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production. It was after joining Transition Leicester and starting a Positive Money project to improve literacy about the money system that I eventually met with Zina Zelter, founder of Footpaths...

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between  five and 15%  in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ).  I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious.  I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat.  I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour.  The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably.  Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters  were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...

Born to prepare for death already

There is nothing like a funeral to put things into perspective. The coffin is lying there reminding us that whilst life throw at us the good and the bad, in a moment it is all gone. We have only the memories of the dead to linger on. Only one thing can be said If you are alive today, give us through your actions the necessary wisdom to grow kind and patient to make our short journey on earth memorable
