You Already Are Special!

What could one say about mankind? I have written enough about the dark side and not enough about everyone and how special we all are. Why would I say special when I feel like a no one? Well you are special scientifically, physically and spiritually but you just may not know it yet. Also, everyone has a purpose and you were pplaced here for a reason so don't cut it off with self pity. Everyone has a chance to become a light in the world. Those who do not pass judgment, who always lend a helping hand and expect nothing in return, those who live what they believe and practice it by their actions. Yet, how is it that so much can be done by the few, while people who call themselves religious [regardless of what we religion we are talking about] could spew forth so much hatred, death, injury and exploitation? It all leads us right back to our very selves.

You see many resent the teaching of Intelligent Design - or rather that we are made in the image and likeness of God. Why is this so? It is because it forces us to accept there is something or someone more powerful in control. Many a men feel they are Gods. Many do not practice what they say they believe but blame God for man's mess. However, if we go back to the basics and use science and mathematics as a measure we see there is more proof for Intelligent Design then Evolution, for which there is NO LINK! You will hear that they are close, seems more likely, we are sure to find, and that sort of rhetoric, but no one has a true link! The true links all go back to creation. Using the bible as a source for Intelligent Design lets look at where God says he made us from the dust of the earth and that he breathed life into us - soul and spirit. Then lets look at what happens when we die. Well, if you’ve ever seen someone immediately at death you know something - a source- a power- whatever has left and the body just is limp- lifeless. We also know that if we do not do something with this body it will corrupt and decay until it returns to where it originated. Well what is man made of? Water and minerals. Where does our substance come from? You got it - the ground and the animals and creatures we consume. Where does their substance come from. You got it- the ground. So it seems plausible to me there may be some validity to this theory. Now lets look at us as unique creatures. Like a one of a kind creation. How do I arrive at this - Bio Metrics. The science that allows us to differentiate between us. Look into it and you will see there is credibility in what I am stating. Along with this science we bring into it mathematics and the laws associated with it- probability, chance, odds. Heck, just look at the creation of the human body in total and apply mathematics. Do you think this would have any impact on a theory? They certainly do. Quite frankly many intelligent and learned men accept intelligent design- just go and research what Einstein said, or some others in history. For every non believer there are more who believe.

Finally, we creatures are developed by choices. Choices we make growing up, environmentally, politically, educationally, socially - by family, friends, associates, co-workers, religious leaders, teammates, entertainment. We develop our beliefs and likes through this process. Therefore what is good for one is not necessarily good for the other. So how do we overcome this obstacle to our spiritual development? We must be open to the spiritual side of us that many lock away. We must look inside and see what our true beliefs are and what our true purpose is. This is not an easy thing to do. We first must accept that we are a special creation. Second we must not pick up someone else’s baggage and claim it as our own. We must shuck away those bags we cling to that are not ours and not let others hand them to us. Finally we must be individuals who think in the realm of for the benefit of all. We must use our talents for the good of all and not let someone rob, and I do mean rob you, of that special you have - a unique one of a kind being, capable of all that you desire to do, with effort, perseverance and faith! That is, not buying into that you must take drugs to be happy or accepted, that you must be used by someone to have a friend or be loved, that you are the cause of your parents problems, that you are stupid [ you just were never taught how properly], and that you will never amount to something, or no one wants you. Accept it- you already are something and you already are special. It is all before YOU, but YOU must make the choice. When YOU decide to do what it is that you want to do that will not hurt, harm, use, or abuse another but will help, assist and bring love to not only YOU but others, You will have found yourself! You will not need to follow the crowd, you will not need material things to make a statement about who you are, or to be happy, you will not need recognition to say your something, you will be YOU, and YOU will know YOU ARE TRULY SPECIAL IN ALL CREATION!
