Material Things
Sometimes in our everyday lives we get so caught up in the chaos and hectic happenings we forget about what really matters.
We get upset if someone scratches our car door, we get angry if someone cuts us off, we get frustrated because we can’t afford the Tommy Hilfinger shirt or slacks that we want.
Actually if we just stepped back for one moment, that’s all it takes, is one moment, we would realize that all that stuff really means nothing. It’s just material things we have the opportunity to use or enjoy while we’re here and the material things should never stress us out.
The most important thing in life is love. It’s the sharing and joining of spirit with others.
Today is really no different that fifty years ago and it’s no different than what it will be in another fifty. Love and happiness of spirit has and always will be the answer.
Material things can not and will not leave this world with us when we leave here. Our physical form will return to the earth and dust from where we came and our spirit will leave and move on to the next plane of existence.
So why would we want to allow something that we can’t take with us to destroy a life we can make more beautiful than anyone could imagine.
Life evolves each nano second making each molecule even more different than it was before. We are part of the universe so it only makes sense that we return to it when our form can no longer sustain life. The soul is the part that gives us the life and so we go on and on and on.
Our philosophy hero’s of great such as Plato, Aristotle and Socrates knew that life was something more precious than just what type of clothes we wore or who we kept company with. They knew that the mind, the spirit, the body were all connected as one and that as such it was divinely connected to something more powerful than all of us.
Aristotle knew that knowledge was the key to the spirit of life and he knew that with the knowledge it made us powerful. With that power we could change the world.
All men by nature desire knowledge ~Aristotle
He was a naturalist and believed that all things were from nature. All things were from the earth. He felt that nothing existed if it was outside time and space.
The actuality of thought is life ~ Aristotle
We are thought, we are life. Think about it. We are connected to everything natural.
Think about it. Where would we be, what would we be, who would we be without Mother Earth, God, and the Universe. Hmmm,,,, a thought to ponder.
