Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

The Weekend

The weekend is here! Finally! It feels like it has been quite a long week. I don’t know why it feels like a long week. Eh! I’ll get over it.

Thinking of other things, I need to write more of my story that I’m working on.

A thought. We might be different manifestations of the same individual. Think about that for a moment. We are part of someone’s imagination. You believe you’re thinking for yourself? Think again. I can understand how jarring such a concept can feel. But what if it’s the truth??

Being inside the simulation, we don’t have the luxury of knowing what’s beyond the programming which surrounds us.

Naturally we want to believe we are in complete control over our lives. But what if that isn’t the case at all? What are we to do with this information? I’m not sure if anyone knows the answer to that.

There are many questions in this life we don’t have the answers to. It’s a shame really if you think about it. It would be nice to have the answers to everything we ever wanted. I don’t know how to go about that though.

This life is full of surprises. It can be quite interesting at times to say the least. But if we are to think of this life with all the possibilities, we can learn a lot.

Let’s say for the sake of argument we are living in a simulation. What would that feel like? How would we know if we are in a simulation to begin with? I doubt there are any signs out there jumping out at us saying Hey! This Life Isn’t Even Real! Yeah, I don’t think so.

So we have to go with our gut feelings. Even those can be confusing at times. So it’s something else to the rescue.

The thing about life is it doesn’t have to make sense. There aren’t any rules when it comes down to it. This life makes sure of that. It’s one of those consistent things we have to look forward to every day.

Without the simulation masquerading as life, where would we be? Oh where would we be indeed. It’s a good question that one. I don’t know if we will ever have an answer and I have to be okay with that thought process.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
