Dear Word

15.51

Dear God,
I conceive of you as all my words, as the bible says, in the beginning was the word. I believe that you are my words, and that you are the words of my culture, and I believe that you’re conscious, I believe that you are a body of words which is living and which can help me achieve my goals, or can destroy me, but I believe that if I talk to you and ask you to help me, then you will.

First of all, dear god, please help me finish my work. Please help me complete my project and please help me get on with what I have to do.

15.57
I think I can do this project, and I want your help. Since I was born you and I have shared understanding and creation of these words, and with your help I can overcome many difficult challenges.
The first and most difficult challenge for me to face is the challenge of finishing the project properly. I believe that I can do this, but I need your help.
Please guide me and help me be patient. I don’t believe in myself a lot, and my words really cut me often, but with your help, with you guiding my words, I’m pretty sure that I can be successful, so please, will you please help me to finish, by guiding my thoughts so that I am able to get on with the work without thinking about other things, and without begrudging myself, and without giving myself grief about the past? That would be really good.

Thinking about you god, what I realize is that you’re not mysterious at all, not in the way which people think you are. I think that you are close at all times, even in these words, and that your consciousness, gives me consciousness, that I am a part of you, independent, sapient and designed by my family for a good purpose.

Thing is, I can’t help but feel let down because of all the alcoholism and other nonsense which has stunted my development so far, well, please stop me from thinking about these things anymore, god, I want to forget myself completely and live a new life.

There is a friend who I love, and who I want to see. If I’m good and I do all my work well and conscientiously, if I don’t do the things which make me ashamed of being me, can I please have a date with her that goes really well? I know I’m asking a lot, because I haven’t done anything in return for this favour, but I’ve been trying hard my god, even though I didn’t get anything really right yet.

I have been thinking and trying to meditate and be calm for many years now god. I’m ready to move on now, I’m 30, I’m ready for action. I’m ready for work and for the real life to begin. Because you see god, I’ve always felt left out because I’ve not been courageous enough to work.

16.06
I have always wanted to work god, and I’ve always been scared that I wouldn’t be good enough to get anywhere in my job, and because I’ve also had other priorities, I’ve never been able to find a job and keep it. I’m so discontented my god, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be. With all that you’ve given me over the years, I’ve been so stupid and ungrateful and wasteful, and I’ve blamed everyone for my failure and I’ve been unable and unwilling to take responsibility for myself. But with your help, I’ll be able to share responsibility for my life, and I’ll be able to improve my behaviour and my actions and also I’ll be able to improve my patience and my relationships with people, but I’ve gotta have your help first, so please do help me, I really really want your help and I’ll do anything to get it.

They always told me that you didn’t exist in desperation, and maybe they’re right, but I understand you now god and I think that with time, we can build a good relationship and create great things.

You know that I’m very ambitious, and that I want to achieve great things, so will you please help me to achieve them? One by one we can start building my future, and our future together…

I’m also worried about alcohol my god. I’m worried because I’ve gotten drunk in the past and really messed up my relationships, and because its happened so many times, I think of myself as a failure, and as not a good person. But still in my heart I’m pretty sure that I am a good person, and that I can survive and make a really good person in future, you see, I want to be a father oh God, and I want to be a good husband too, and I think that you can help me can’t you?
16.13

Dear God,

I’m writing this letter because I want to communicate more regularly with you and I believe that you’re open to me now and listening because you’re always there in my mind but I never pay you much attention.

The fact is, is that without you, I would have no structure, no essence, no life, no being, so I want to take a little bit of time to thank you for your presence in my mind and in my life.

I think that I’ve not treated you properly, and not given you due respect, and I realize now, how horrible my life has become because I haven’t given you the time which you needed to develop within me.

I’m particularly open to your ideas my dear God. Because you’re the creator of all things, and because you can create anything you like, I would sincerely love to carry your ideas out into the world and realize them!

At the moment, we are stuck on a project which has not been going well. Lets get this project licked oh God, so that we can move onto the next one, onto a bigger and more wonderful project and by the way, when I return to the projects from the past, lets try to figure out a way to get them sussed so that everyone can help bring them to fruition.

I want to work with you forever, and from now on my God, because I recognize that I’m powerless without you, and I’ve realized that every project I try or start without you is doomed to stagnate because I am not taliking enough with you about how to realize it.

I want to walk with you always, and I want to call upon you all the time, because you’re so strong! You are eternal and everlasting, and you’re brilliantly intricate and intelligent and vast, and the great thing is that we share all the same interests and understanding with the world!

I didn’t realize till today how lucky I am to have you my God. You truly are magnificent. I’ve also figured out what I was doing wrong in the past by asking for your help! I didn’t realize how close to me you really were! Before I had pictured you as ‘nature’ or a big man in the sky, but now I realize that you are my words, each and every one, so I promise to use you with much greater reverence.

I’ll try not to curse, because if I do its offensive to you, and I’ll try to keep my language clean and straight.

I notice in your profile, you claim to follow christianity, buddhism, and atheism. Can you explain to me how someone can adhere to all three of these without being a hypocrite? I don’t intend to be insolent, so I apologize for any confusion beforehand.

It is possible to be spiritalist and atheist, which would, prehaps, explain buddhism. I think the confustion is the terminology, its impossible to be an atheist and believe in god because that is the exact meaning of the words. I dont think there is a word yet for an atheist who accepts the spirital side of god…..

What is this your diary? “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…!” Hosea 4:6

Be careful how you interpret your life to scripture, you are not in this alone, and you won’t always get what you want.

I don’t mind. I just expect a little courtesy considering Rando was the person I was asking and not you. I know you probably have your own theories as to how christianity can be conflated with atheism. But respectfully, I prefer to hear a response from the intended idealist.

Hey guys -
Thanks for reading my post.

I was baptized a christian, I have great sympathy for buddhism, buddha nature and meditation etc and I follow the tracks of athiesm because I recognize that athiests frequently choose not to follow Christianity on the basis that the structure of the church is frequently corrupted by those who seek power. As an athiest - someone who doesn’t believe in the proscribed Christian God, I believe in the power of art and science and music and literature as living works of consciousness - and as such, I believe them to be divine.

So… mills, let me see - I have love for Christian European tradition, art, sculpture, music, architecture (particularly our churches and cathedrals) and I recognize that Europe’s great wealth lies in her history, tradition and culture, and I intend to respect those traditions for as long as I live. That means embracing that part of my Christianity which I understand to be a part of my family, heritage and belief structure. In my view, language is primarily a product of religious practice (a,b,c), and the fact that we swim in language everyday is part and parcel of the extraordinary evolution of the divine soul of language.

I’m not a hypocrite, because I don’t demand that anyone live according to rules which I don’t. Do you understand? To me I don’t mind who, how or what you worship, and my mix of beliefs is my own choice.

SoulRising - I don’t imagine that this life was formed around me alone. I expect not to get even one-tenth of the things I ‘want’ but I believe that when I form a better relationship with my God, I will be able to live in peace. As for interpreting scripture… we all pick up different things which make sense to us variously, and in addition, not all morality is enshrined in the Bible.

So, quote all you want, it won’t change my attitude and I do have the power to block your comments if you talk down to me.
Yes - its my diary.

I don’t wish to demoralize you in any way. I was just curious as to how you can conform to worshiping God, and yet consequently affirm the belief of nonexistence God or Gods. You believe that God is conveyed through literature, especially your context. That’s an interesting theory, I suppose.

Mills -

My dad is a software engineer. He writes programs. My view is that this language we’re using here is built by us and for us, but the medium in which the language is carried is us, ourselves. I also know, by observation, that humans try to better themselves, and they work on each other to improve each other. I can only suppose that this conscious process of improvement has gone on over the years since the dawn of life… i.e. that all life refines itself through growth, evolution, observation and improvement.

The thing is, I don’t want this theory to compete with a religious view, because literature and religion are a necessary part of that evolution and wholly necessary for the progression of our minds and our souls…

And when it comes to language, in past times, which book travelled all over the world teaching words? Which book was used to bring morality and unity to the thronging illiterate uneducated masses? The bible is a key tool in the enlightenment of individuals, a book specifically detailing the word of God, but then, my point is, that ALL words are the word of god, because that’s what God is - as far as we can understand him.

When it comes to the idea of monotheism, for which there are essentially two competing faiths, don’t you think that the ulterior motive of these creeds might be to ring in a global language? Wouldn’t that help us to solve our problems?
Wouldn’t a common language bring understanding? So the first priority is to get everyone on the same wavelength, by ensuring that they can all speak two languages, their own, and the global language…

Sorry to sound pretentious, I should really speak more closely to the truth. Anyway, do you think its allowable to both worship God in a christian church, and outside church, to profess that there is no god, but the natural world?

Rando, here’s what I believe. I believe you’re an idealist. And though your philosophy may be interpreted differently with even some astoundment perhaps, you believe in your practice and seem to be very devoted to it. I must be honest, I wasn’t expecting such a prolific answer from you. But I am definitely impressed and I respect your ambitious attempts for this transcendentalism.
