Disclaimer: This is my blog! I'll write what I want . My husband James wrote a paper about philosophy, and so I decided to write my own! This is *my* interpretation and how I see things. I'm not asking you to agree or understand. Please don't be offended. I don't mean it that way. Please don't comment if you don't have anything good to say. You're untiled to your own opinion and I support that, in fact if you want to write your own philosophy on your blog, Ill read it! I'm open to learning more. Thank you.
*My Philosophy of life--In a nutshell**
*My Philosophy of life--In a nutshell**
To really understand how I feel I must start from the beginning. Putting religion aside, I believe in God. Science cannot disprove him; in fact I believe science is only evidence of him. I believe he is our creator, and that we are only given one life. This life is in a probationary state. A place where we will be put in experiences, and situations in which we will have to find our own answers and ways to work through it. God provides a lot of light and answers for us, but I have found more often then not it’s up to us to find what we seek. Sometimes it’s hard to see God as real when the media portrays him as magical, but maybe the things that seem like magic to us are really are just his knowledge of ALL THINGS.
The reason I believe so much in such a divine power above is because I have witnessed it first had in my life. I’ll be the first one to tell you that my life hasn’t been ideal in many ways. By, that I don’t mean that I don’t ENJOY my life to the fullest or that I would trade my life with anyone else. I LOVE life, but it took me a while to get to that state of mind. I’ve been sexually abused (no-not by any family member), which has lead to many anxiety disorders and compulsions. At 16 my dad past away, I moved to a different school, I had unhealthy relationships where I was used. I broke off from those relationships and found the guy of my dreams! However problems have still persisted. (As they probably will and should! Life is about growth) I have dealt with my own self-image and self esteem. No, none of these situations have been ideal, but I am happy. Why? Because of that divine power that I so firmly believe in. You may ask what has it provided to make me happy? The answer for me is one word. Hope. Hope of being healed. Hope that one day I might be happy. Hope is a flashlight amid darkness. You shine it in front of you and for once in your life; you can look forward and see something is there. It gives you confidence to move forward and so I did. I moved forward, and that hope for better day faded away eventually because that better day was “today”. The once impossible became possible. I was healed. Literally healed. I didn’t know I was broken then, but I look back now, and I what a mess I was. I still have many issues to work out, but now, I have peace of mind, body, and spirit. That’s another thing the Lord has provided. Comfort. I have prayed for that, and while sometimes the Lord has not directly responded to my prayers the way I would like him to, he has always given me the comfort I have needed. I can say to anyone having a hard time, that it gets better (no matter the circumstance) because I am happy and you can be too.
I think the most powerful thing we can have is knowledge. The more we know the more peace of mind we have. If you have taken any medical classes and have studied the brain you might have learned that human beings only use a small percentage of their brain capacity. Why is this? Why do we have that capacity if were not supposed to use it? The wonderful thing about today is everything is online, at click of a mouse button! Literally. Anything you want to learn you can! Why do we not take more advantage of this? Our comprehension is limitless! I personally believe that everything is intertwined. If we know enough we can link everything together. God has that knowledge and that is why he is who he is and why he has so much power. He has that huge percentage of our brains we aren’t using. Remember how I said some might call God magical? This is what I am talking about! God is the best scientist, chemist, biologist, and doctor known to man! How do you think Jesus healed the sick? Was it magic? For me personally, I don’t think so. God works under law and the forces of this earth, he just understands it better then we ever could. Knowledge is power because knowledge brings us happiness and fills in the gaps in our minds and in our hearts. Taking time to study things out in your mind and heart is important. The mysteries of God can be revealed. It’s called revelation!!! There’s a word we have heard so much about! Revelation- it all comes down to pondering, studying and working hard to gain that knowledge we wish so much to find.

If I believe in God, then I too must believe in Satan who at times is all too real. I believe that his forces surround all of our society, and the thing he uses most is his power to distract. Distracting us with the things we think will make us happy such as fame, fortune, the perfect body, car, house etc. The more distraction we have, the less knowledge we are able to gain. His evil forces will do anything to distract us from that knowledge and power, because when we have that. He has lost. What is knowledge? Power. He has no power over you because you KNOOOW better.
Sometimes very traumatic and even awful things will happen in our lives too. Things ranging from loss of a income to as devastating as loosing a loved one. My philosophy on this matter still is in a work of progress, but the one thing I have come to understand is that heartbreak is essential in life. Problems are like muscles. When we work them out, they rip and tear but then rebuild bigger and stronger. I clearly stated over and over again knowledge is power. I believe sometimes to REALLY know something; you have to experience it first hand. Going through these things in life will help you have sympathy for others and be grateful for the good things in your life.

I believe in karma to an extent. I mean really, it’s quite logical. With every action there will be a reaction. Science. Not every good deed you do will have a instant reaction, but I think it will follow you in the long run even if its not in this eternity. I believe ALL secrets will follow you and have a way of surfacing. Trust me, they really do come to “bite you in the rear”.
I think there is more “grey” in the world most religious groups take account for. Not everything is black and white. That's the one downfall of religion. Or I guess not so much religion but the judgments of people. Of course there is right and wrong in everything, but its all very personal, and circumstantial. What’s right for me might not be right for someone else based own his or her own situations/intentions. If God is just then he realizes all those circumstances. It’s not just a heaven or hell fate. All things will be taken into account and consideration.
I think we have different talents, tendencies, weakness, strengths, but I do not think those things define us. We have agency and what really defines us is our choices. We can choose to better our weaknesses or we can choose to not, but either way it’s a conscience choice.
All in all, Life is not fair, but it is what you make of it. Life will be better for those who discover that the empowerment of the soul comes to those who live good lives and not of the monetary world in which we live.
