I believe that we as people grew large in society and technology that we have gotten so busy into our own lives like money, bills, school, materials, tv, friends that we just dont have enough time to appreciate what god has created here on this earth for us. That we simply say "yes, i belive in god." and think that when i die ill go to heaven, even though we dont go to church or pray every night or have any knowledge of his acts with his disciples and prophets. We have created our own “human laws” like the government and we think we are above all here on this earth because we have not yet seen anything bigger than us. Which is false. Mother nature will fuck our shit up and god will fuck with you in ways that you cant see that it is him.Then we start making our own religions saying “ill follow these rules but those are just dumb.” I mean imagine if there were actually an almighty god and you see him when you die, I don’t think he would let you walk right in with no consquences after you have ignored some of his laws and created your own religion and not appreciating his work of art. i believe that one day when we do die, well come to him face to face and think "oh shit, he is real." and shit our pants. God will see our lives in a flash and see that we were concerned about money to buy this or buy that, or think about sex, or other objects when you have to realize that he is god and he could take away anything you love on this earth to show you that your ultimate love be him, your god, your creator. But then again I think we are simply humans and we will never know the truth until the end. It simply lies In faith.
Mr. Writer that pic from van Gogh is my favorite. This is for the original poster. Eschatology does not serve spiritual practice one bit. Eschatology does not serve anyone. After 2012, all these cults surrounding end times will fall apart! Learn today that today is enough, and tomorrow will take care of itself. Eschatology creates fear, hate, anxiety, disassociation from others, isolation, rejection, separation, and so on. Spend the rest of your life waiting for something to show up in the sky and save the world, and you will die empty and deluded. Spend your time loving each other, helping each other, and spreading love and compassion in every opportunity. If you live with Love and Compassion as the foundation of all your conscious relationships, all this eschatology b.s. will not even dawn in your consciousness, Only the Living Presence of God will show It Self.
