Questions

I was thinking just now about all the questions we ask during our lives.

However, it really is less about the questions than it is finding the answers.

But, if you have ever been to college you likely know that formulating the important questions leads you to success of various kinds in your lives.

So, in the spirit of the college try here goes in ferreting out some of the questions:


What am I?

Where Am I?

Who Am I? (this is a really tricky one) (there is no right or even correct answer) unless maybe it's
"I AM!"

Then:

Who made me?

And why?

Where Am I going?

Where have I been?

Is time and space Real?

Or is it just another illusion?

Do any of these questions really matter?

Okay now what if I try to answer some of these questions just for me:


What am I?

I have the appearance of being an Earth Born Human

Where Am I?

I appear to be living on Planet Earth in the U.S. and in the state of California at present even though I was born in Washington.

Who Am I? (this is a really tricky one) (there is no right or even correct answer) unless maybe it's
"I AM!"

There are many answers to this question simply because time and space likely isn't very real but more like rules of a a serious game.

Then:

Who made me?

God, the Creators, or I was made through various processes and made of Star Dust like all planets and Stars.

And why?

Why denotes that someone consciously created me. It's likely that there was conscious creation of my soul and possibly conscious creation (not just mating) of my body too.

Where Am I going?

Where I am going is only important if  I AM  sure time and space is real.

Where have I been?

Same answer as before. Where I have been is only important if time and space has been real.

Is time and space Real?

Does not really appear to be part of any ultimate reality. Only Being and maybe Non-Being appears to be real. Others might have a different position on the subject.

Or is it just another illusion?

Same answer.

Do any of these questions really matter?

Yes and No.

It depends upon what value one gives to these questions in any and all moments.

Is life therefor a paradox?

Since the universe is definitely a paradox life might also be a paradox too.

And if it is a paradox then encompassing paradoxes is a necessary component to be able to understand it without going mad and just jumping off a cliff because of it.

This is one reason why really intelligent people tend to commit suicide and people with just common sense usually don't.

When I asked God what the purpose of life was he said, "The purpose of life is to love and Bless life".

When I thought about this it made sense.

He also said that to kill another being was like cutting off one of the other fingers of God. And that each of us are like the fingers of God here on the Earth.

It took me about 2 weeks or more to recover from this experience and I shook for two days after this.

But, then once I reoriented to what God and the universe were about I felt at peace once again.

But, I was in my early 20s then and now I'm 66 and a grandfather and father of 3 children, 2 stepchildren and 2 God Daughters.

But, God also answered my most important questions so this was good for me and my children and my grandchildren.
