To each is own

Why are we here? What for? Who am I? What is life all about? These are some of the questions we all ask at one time or another. It seems to me, that some more than others, remain in a state of obsession over finding answers to these questions. I myself have been one, and am a recovering addict to the mindset. The mindset referred to is quite interesting, I believe it has shined greatly in our history at many various times, such as in the lives of Moses, Joseph smith, and David Caresh who are some of my personal favorites of like minded truth seekers.

There are thousands if not millions, who have lived and died with these visions and dreams sent to provide the rest of us within the proper way to live, and directions on the rituals in order to interact with the gods or god. How these types of people who we will call "reachers" come to they're conclusions I think for sure starts out very innocent. They were asking the same questions we've all asked pertaining to purpose right now and in the afterlife. But somewhere things got beyond that, and how it did and why, varies with each individual.

It reminds me of our psychoanalysis processes of today. Something happened to these people what it is we don't know, but something did happen, and it had a life altering impact. We know the mind of the human is the most mysterious thing and the possibilities it can create within ones imagination is limitless and eternally possible. So that validates that whatever vision or dream people have is entirely possible as in it most certainly did happen, in they're mind. Did it happen physically or in universal reality? Or was it just a imaginative creation similar to Steven King dreams later published as books? That would most certainly be the argument still debated around the world guns drawn and all.

What validates one's truth? I heard someone on the radio justify his truth because " He experienced it". I wont disagree with that statement, but the context he spoke from was promoting his christian truth which advises him to proclaim his truth as The truth meaning no other truth is real or universally relevant. That I do see flaws in, which brings us back to our "reacher" friends who I believe are so desperate for answers about life they have settled on whatever the have reached for and through reasoning, and personal experienced have come to hold as truth. Here me out, in no way shape or form do I neglect a persons need for purpose and belief, I think it is one of the three most important needs in one's life; A sense of purpose, healthy relationships and a healthy prospective of one's self. But when your truth and the teachings you hold prevent my three emphasis on healthy living I am Leary of it's relevancy apart from my personal opinion of the teachings or belief itself. I am not quite sure why people with hearts to help and desires of peace get caught up in dividing and separatist religions or truth prospectives.

It's nothing new, and just about every conversation about these things I have with amazing people always comes down to " If it works for you than who am I to try to persuade otherwise". I have no need to convert or mess with people's faith in whatever, I just don't know how much time people actually spend examining they're faith or truth instead of defending it. The comfort they're experiencing because of the answers they believe they have, will bring a therapeutic effect for sure, but is it really as real to as gravity? And if it isn't, why would you speak as if it is? But once again who am I to question you? I guess to each is own.
