The Unfed Flame

When I was young I wanted to know the truth about how life worked. I wanted to know the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. I had no idea how that would effect my life. I saw in the Bible where it said to come to God with the open mind and heart of a child knowing all things are possible within God. That means I could have no preconceived ideas of what was the truth. I asked my father why we go to church and he said that he didn’t have time to study the bible so we hire a minister to study it for us and then on Sunday he helps us with the proper interpretation. As the years went buy I began to see how different those interpretations were from church to church. With that I began to reed the bible alone with no outside source to tell me what it said. I recommend that to everyone. Recently I saw a TV program where they hypnotized the audience into a past life regression. I noticed how heard it is for some people to be hypnotized while it seems easy for others. The truth is that any meditative state is all that is needed to hypnotize someone. We can be hypnotized watching television, lessoning to a politiation, or lessoning to a preacher. We can even hypnotize our self by focusing our attention on something long enough. In our youth we are particularly subject to trusting our parents because we know they love us and they, more than anyone, are looking out for our best interest. We give parents blind trust in many cases that leads to hypnotism. A wise man told me to watch the momentum, the momentum of momentum. Notice how the momentum of one confused person can spread like a plague through a crowd. His enthusiasm will hypnotize like a virus. It was here that I began to understand why so many people become angry when I tell them they have been brainwashed by their religions. Anger is what the ego uses to hide from itself the truth it doesn’t want to face. The other thing that I see happening is your eyes glaze over when you here something that conflicts with your hypnotisms. When you live in a world of protect or defend, you are living in the world that the ego has designed for you. Anger is a control mechanism but not for the egos good. It is the egos attempt to control others as the world turns. Only the truth can set you free from a reactionary world. Only truth will enable you to live in the world and not of the world.
