a letter from mark to mark
Everyone has values, things they hold close to their hearts. Values have no price. People, freedoms, ideas that cannot be bought or sold.
There is a all powerful force. There is a God. People who choose not to believe this are incapable of seeing the truth. They are unwilling to accept that they are not in full control of their own lives. They refuse to dissociate from their socially influenced thoughts and ideas and so called educations, they believe they are more sophisticated then those who believe in miracles. Yet they must believe in something, we must have some values, every person must value something, or are we not the same as every other animal. Of course we must believe in science? The facts are indisputable, yet they mock faith. Now though we cannot see a black hole, we believe that it exists. We cannot create life out of mere thoughts, we cannot explain why life exists or really even how is does yet we are faithful that these things are true. Scientist can only explain so much and this is good. We must continue to learn and create new ideas, the best of scientists were spiritual, and yet you mock educated Christians who send thousands to people who adhere to other faiths. You ridicule someone who believes that the end is near, that the rapture is approaching and all who sin will fall into the pits of hell, yet you believe that people who thought it was necessary to sacrifice virgins on a massive and horrific scale, did and does know the fate of this world. You believe in there faiths, in there ideas, but you cannot admit that there is a god, a power greater then yourself. You believe in a people who did not even know of a leap year, and according to there calender the iconic date of December 21rst 2012 has come and gone already. You mock someone who truly believes in people and there good natures yet will mention "karma." You are all quite bizarre. I don't know if there is a hell. I don't really want to know. I'm not sure if i believe in Heaven, because unfortunately my mind has been corrupted by thoughts like these, from social influences, and from mental anguish just like you, but i have faith that something i cannot understand exists after this world. Something very mysterious that we will never truly understand must exist. Now even science has theories on these things, there are situations that have occurred that science cannot explain so these things are considered and theories are created to try and explain these things. Nothing i could possibly think on god or science holds any good weight, and this is so, but proof what is proof? if i drop a lighter it falls to the ground and this is proof that gravity exists. If i use my brakes on tarmac i will stop quicker then if i used my brakes on wet grass, this is proof of friction. These things mean nothing, there is no proof, i have faith in these things and ideas, i have faith in these formulas because i can test these actions and see the same outcome and this is proof, but there is always variables in all things no action is identical so really there is no proof, only faith.
Can a man rise from the dead? No, this could not happen, all we understand about our world, about life and nature would never permit this, but could the higher power, a power greater then ourselves, will someones spirit to manifest into something we could understand. Yes. I have faith that all life has a spirit, or a soul, a cosmic force that binds its pure life energy, whatever you want to call it, words cant explain these things anyhow. I have faith that a mysterious force created and creates this world, the big bang is just our feeble attempts to try and understand this, atoms are just tiny galaxies, abstract thoughts are capable even of mice, and most importantly of men.
Values. what do you value?
From what I've learned there are things that are essential for life. A person has certain drives that controls him/her, they are healthy drives, they enable us be successful and survive and ultimately create new life, so as to continue our certain DNA codes. We must have the desire to survive, a sane individual has the desire to eat, sleep, drink, and have sex, often with most intelligent animals we have the drive to create certain social connections that help us be even more successful. Now most people have values, our friends, our families, our children, life partners, sexual lovers, these are usually very important values among most sane people. other popular values are our health, how well are bodies function, if we are of good health we should really value that highly not everyone is born of good health. We value machines like cars which equates to our freedom, we are able to go places with ease. We often value our houses and jobs which makes us happy, they make us feel safe and help others maybe value us even more which makes us mentally and physically healthier. certain ideas and art are also valued by many, music, singing, painting, ideas can also be very valuable to people, a sense of well being is important. Happiness is a value. Freedom, religion, health, family, Happiness, money, ourselves, individuality, Education.
Now lets suppose you are driving with your loved ones and you are involved in a horrible accident everyone you truly care about is dead, you survive unharmed. This is a tragedy.
Now could you have controlled this situation. NO
Maybe if you took another road, then yes it could have been avoided, this particular accident could have been avoided most likely. maybe if you were a trained stunt driver, there are many things that could have been done which would have resulted in different outcomes, we have a free will, we have choices, but we are never in full control of our lives.
Now lets suppose you have a friend who always wakes his friends up with firecrackers, if you fall asleep at his house he will light them off and wake your ass up, you know this and you are at his house, and you are very tired, and you fall asleep at his house, you are not in control. many who refuse to accept the idea of a higher power might say "i would not fall asleep, no matter how tired i was, and if i did, i would hear him sneaking up and i would wake up'
we can plan all we want but we are not in control of our lives, i don't know to what extent this life law goes, but we are not in control, if it is raining outside we cannot will it to stop raining, this may sound ridiculous to put it in this way but someone who believes that the world is random and there is no higher power might need to be explained these things in this way. We cannot prevent certain things from happening to us certain things we value so closely to us can be ripped away in an instant, choices we make have a huge affect on things that happen to us, and to some who are unwilling to accept or see the truth could continue on and think that everything is random, that's fine, but I'm sick of people who believe in the 2012 prophecy and refuse to accept that there is a higher power. There are people who pray to god only when tragedy erupts, how ironic, people who think that god isn't real, yet will acknowledge god by saying "fuck you god i hate you" or "why god, why me"
without him you are nothing, i cant explain it, people get so turned off because of religion, religion is something that people created, true spirituality cannot be tainted by people, the bible has nothing offensive in it if you can see past peoples bullshit. If you trust only yourself and others that truly is bullshit.
I was born on June 28 1987, and poof there i was, here i am, but why was i not born June 28th 1497, or 12,487bc, i was destined to be Mark John, science did not control this, I'm sure then hell that i didn't, this was not some random happening. life is eternal and it was going on long before i was born, on that date in time i inhabited this body and brain and mental character why not before millions of years ago, this seems random to someone who does not want to accept the truth because he has a grudge on Moses or Judas. These were people, of course they offend you we are offensive beings by nature. I do not know how it came to be, i do not know what level of consciousness this all happens at, if any at all, and if none it still might seem random but life and death is not random, the seasons are not random, love and connections are not random, human nature though chaotic is not random and meaningless, we all are very confused but i believe we do know between right and wrong, and only those filled with hate and chemicals or a combo of both really do things without thinking how it affects others, lions do not do that, you get a lion drunk and he will eat his own mother and not think of it being a sin, he might even do that sober. The proof of a power greater then myself for me is overwhelming and the things i value i will hold tight, because after all is gone i will only have my self, and if i loose my soul then i truly have nothing. I have faith that no matter how good or bad my life is, no matter how many good choices i make, I'm not in complete control of my life God is, and he truly loves us all.
