  1. This can be so exhausting. I don’t want to mess anyone up, I want to help them! Constantly digging deep inside and making sure that it’s the right thing and experimenting if I’m not confident to make sure that I personally do what I share with others while allowing for everyone’s complete uniqueness. Oh well, I’m progressing that’s all it matters.
  2. That’s great! Enjoy the feeling Now you got the “guns” to use just in case it happens again. Every problem has a solution.
  3. “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
  4. I don’t know, if I knew that I would probably get a Nobel Prize. Maybe it’s your calling to find out. I’m happy with the knowledge I have about God, it’s enough for me. When you want to know more than anyone else, you need to do your own research. Just be careful, you might not ever get there and other things that might be important to you might get neglected. We can’t do everything, choose your focus and improve our current knowledge if you want to.
  5. Isn’t it great that you can create your own meaning? Nobody imposes any meaning on you, it’s your creation. I chose happiness for everyone!
  6. God is not a human so God doesn’t have the same senses as we do. God is everywhere and in everything. I see God as a type of “energy”.
  7. This is why I said “closer to the truth”. That one occurrence of your phone levitating is an indication that you don’t know the whole truth and it needs more investigating. But you still are 99% correct based on those 99 instances when the phone hit the ground.
  8. I go by consistency and predictability. The more something is consistent and predictable, the closer to the truth it is.
  9. Was Quran written by God or by people that used their interpretation of what God is or did?
  10. “The more you know, the more you realise how much you don’t know — the less you know, the more you think you know.” David T. Freeman
  11. One can't buy a ticket to heaven with words either.
  12. What about you, what you gonna do to change it? It's easy to complain.
  13. So what is your plan? You could make it your life purpose, someone has to do something, it all starts with us. I would but I already have a big project.
  14. Sorry, I’m not a philippino and I don’t follow every problem in this world, I’m this one human being that only can do so much in my limited time. It’s up to the philippino to decide what to do with it and it’s surely better than nothing. Or would you like to invent a time machine?
  15. YES! And it’s already happening and it has always been happening! A sick person gets more care than a healthy person, a poor person gets more help than a rich person, an oppressed person gets more attention than a happy person. Of course, it’s not perfect but it’s happening and it will still get better because it has always been getting better. It’s about progress not perfection. No need to take it to the extreme
  16. The world is constantly changing and cultures and views are mixing together especially now through the internet. As any change, it needs to get integrated and fined tuned for it to become a good change. Perfection doesn’t exist, everything has it faults. All it matters whether there’s more good than bad. That being said, I’ve lived through very diverse cultures and changes in my life. I grew up in communism, the wall came down when I was 14, I had successes, I had failures, I changed country, I left my community and became accepted in a different culture and community I wasn’t born in. I learnt new language, new customs but I’ve always stuck to my beliefs that I think are universal and all cultures have them with some variations. In regards to previous generations or current oppression, I recognize that people got hurt and it shouldn’t be ignored, it needs be acknowledged and we need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. These people need to get compensated as it’s the only thing we can do at this moment, we can’t change the past. These are the important things, anything smaller than that is unimportant. So is it really a horrible thing that someone takes on other people’s culture/beliefs and adjusts it to fit their life? Of course, it’s not perfect but can we stop it? Do we have to stop it? What is the real damage? Is it horrible to see the whole elephant by using different cultures views? Personally, I’m excited to see how the internet and social media making all cultures to blend, understand each other and adapt the best of each culture.
  17. I see it this way. When you want to drive your car, you can’t just sit in the driver seat and command the car: “Drive!” You need to start the engine, release the hand brake etc. So you have a free will to drive the car while you don’t have a free will to do it in any way you wish, you have to follow certain “rules”.
  18. This journal is such a forest of smileys. haha That’s probably saying something about me
  19. Peekaboo! Haha PS: Thank you for showing up in my reality!
  20. I’m little bit tired today, other things going on at this moment. Luckily, tomorrow’s another day and hopefully I’ll be feeling much better and more productive.
  21. It’s because you’re observing it through your eyes connected to your brain and interpret it based on your life. My reality revolves around me because I observe it through my eyes connected to my brain and I interpret it based on my life stored in my brain. All this while we are both and everyone is a part of the same humankind, we are on the same planet and are part of the same infinite universe.
  22. The reality is our “imagination” because we interpret it through our senses. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the world around us doesn’t exist. We can sometimes rely on our senses too much and think that the reality is the exact way we “imagine” it or interpret it. Eagle, dog, bat or slug see the reality different way than we do because their senses work different way to us and that’s their “imagination”. I hope this helps.
  23. Be careful you might succeed Either way good luck!
  24. Negativity is such a energy sucker. Need to either fix it or get over it. I’m not saying to ignore bad things, I’m just saying to be real about it! Not overly positive and surely not negative, just purely face the facts and fix it or let it be.
