Tнε Path of Faith

What are the natural consequences for our actions? Do we do things be-cause of the Re-ward System i.e external approval..? Do we do it for the applauding of our 'just' and 'proper' actions there-by creating a plat-form of credibility which will serve as the foundation for the World to deal with us based on our history of propriety? Does this then mean that all we do is directly related to the feed-back we get from others..? Do we really under-take any action in the presence of another just for the sake of that action with-out sub-conscious (or conscious) thought given to it or for the re-ward system - which is basically the re-lease of psychological endorphins we experience at the point of execution? There is a natural consequence of just actions with-out a consciousness of a Re-ward System. Then, there is the 'natural' consequence of action which give credence to a Re-ward System and is perhaps consciously tailored to elicit that exact re-ward. ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The journey of Humanity is one of courage, it is of hope, it is of Acceptance. It is of eyes peering in the horizon believing there is utopia behind it. The journey of Humanity is one of struggle, of blood, of war, of Tears. It is of the pursuit of Happiness, it is of Free-dom. It is of Faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The journey of  Humanity is one of travel, of adventure, of Curiousity. It is of exploring new terrains, it is of Excitement.

I wrote this during a pocket of time several moons past. A time when the world stood still as the two once proud and most significant ladies fell and crumbled in a heap of their own filth as the world looked on in helplessness and electrifying awe .... I wonder what thoughts swirled around the steel and concrete heads of the glorious twins as went as they crumbled in-to the yawning abyss forcefully getting wider on the floor of the urban jungle. I wonder.... Oh, great the fall of Babylon!  The once proudest of all the Iroko trees in the land now lay broken and dis-membered in the belly of the urban jungle. No longer do they dominate, being fawned over by man and foe alike. Now, they lay crushed and dis-used like broken dolls who have out-lived their usefulness....  but not be-fore making as grand an exit as their entry had been.  I wonder what sort of conversation they had every morning as they stood high against they sky-line surveying the teemi...

Obsession. Ever-one has an obsession. Every-one is obsessesed with some-thing. Some people claim to get rid of an obsession, but in reality, they are only re-placing it with another one. In a pocket of time past, I heard a preacher say that if you give your life to Jesus the Christ, old things will pass away and all things will be-come new. What is the implication of a life-changing statement? You stop obsessing with Self and start obsessing with Christ. Basically, re-placing one obsession with another. Ok, I am going to veer off this lane in-to another. It is all on the same high-way though.... The bed-rock of all Religion is Faith. Now, we all know Faith is based on bias. So, what does this imply then? In a nut-shell, it infers that all Religion is founded on bias. Religion is all about be-longing. It is about the innate need to be led. It is about dependence. It is about the giving up of responsibility to another. It is a ...... Covert Absolution Operat...

Ok, I. AM. LIVID. Bursting with it. It feels like I've got thick black smoke in my lungs.... I almost can-not breathe.... Trying hard to suppress the raging fire burning with-in. That is all I have to say at this time. May-be I'll add some-thing later, may-be I will not. May-be this is how I will end it. May-be this makes no sense. May-be it does. I really could not care less. The. End.

Know-ledge is in-deed power. Power over Neuronal Lethargy and Anonymity.  The more know-ledge we acquire, the more we move closer to the door that leads to the absolute state which transcends the mediocrity that is the foundation of every-day existence. Some-times..... I wonder.... if there's really safety in ignorance and boundary(self imposed and societally imposed) limitations.... What would life be like with-out boundaries? Would it be a state of absolute free-dom or absolute chaos..? Or would our previous state(s) of mind be-come colossally enhanced..? Perhaps, there might be the certain sense of Free-dom that comes with the breaking of a barrier..... the dipping of the toe tip in for-bidden waters. The sense of taboo, the thrill of excitement and also of..... danger. We can-not say we are LIVING when there is the predictability of the out-come of our lives. We are born; we acquire formal academic know-ledge; we get a job; we start...

Every-thing in Life occurs cyclically and repeatedly. We will experience every-thing in Life over and over. They may come in diverse forms, but, it is basically the same masquerading as the different. Mythic Archetype is not externally imposed, but internally generated with-in each person. The universal wish to be original can-not conceal that each of us is some-thing of a copy; repeating previous lives with the in-authenticity of inverted (or perverted commas). Lurking beneath the superficialities of personality, most people are types rather than individuals. Although, the "same", could some-how manage to be-come the "new". Those who believe in progress like to depict the world as moving in a straight line, to-wards an in-definable goal. There is also the school of thought that abandons the idea of Linear Development be-cause it despairs of Human history. Ok, let us explore both the Cyclical Occurrence and Linear Development further by falling b...

Cosmopolitan it may seem, Humanity bursting at the seam, Diverse colours almost obscene. All are heard; none are seen. Uniformity in diversity, Chaos in serenity, Ugliness doing beautifully, Still a village disguised as a city. Myriad and diversified, Complex and haughty, Confident, un-unified, Of adulation, always worthy. EDO! My land for-ever o! Oba gha to kpe e I-s-e-e-e.....

The Bible, (according to the book of Genesis) says that God made us in his own image. Ok, fair enough..... But, what "image" is this exactly? Is it the Homo Sapiens? But..... the Homo Sapiens has been in existence for approximately five hundred thousand (500, 000) years. Mean-while, the Earth has been in existence for a little over four and a half (4.55) BILLION years (give or take 1%...). And the Human Race has no known affiliated residence of abode be-sides Earth. So, what image was this "man" that GOD created billions of years ago and what  "image" is GOD then if Humans are fashioned after him be-fore they (humans) came in-to existence? Ok, let us give room for skepticism and presume man did not originate from a single organism.... Good? Ok. Some automatons will say that is not a physical image, but a SPIRITUAL one. Ok. Let us look at this closely.... Let us start from the the Hominoidae; also known as the Grea...

I have found it quite baffling why anyone should be suspicious of their passions or petrified of surrendering to their humanity, that sometimes even when they do, they’re consumed with mortification. It’s all about the reconciliation of the forces within, that basically is the plague of the dualistic separation between divinity and humanity; which is the bedrock of the fears of our frail condition. There is divinity in all things, and in order to find that divinity; one should work with the material at hand- in the clay pot, which is the truth of God. Our human desires are very much a part of our spiritual journey and through them rather than in spite of them; we would find God. I am a spirit, you’re a spirit. I have a body, you have a body. Mine is slightly altered by the altering of my consciousness. It’s not such a yawning chasm between your reality and mine. We all have our physical truths, mine may not be as photogenic as yours, but it certainly exists nonetheles...
