Overthinking Yet Again

Overthinking, yet again. I’m not sure what to think about this life most days. If I said it was confusing, that would be telling the truth. But what can I do about it? Not much I’m afraid. Not much at all. That’s how the cookie crumbles at times. It’s a silly thought now isn’t it? That’s what I was thinking too! If life had a purpose, what would it be? There are so many things in this life which require our undivided attention. You cannot deny that as a fact. It’s proof that life exists for a reason. A pretty good reason if you ask me. Life, at various times, is full of surprises. They can be good or bad, I think it all depends on the situation. Nothing in life is set in stone as it is always on the move towards adventure. But we can’t always be tied down to that which we don’t have. We don’t have control over things we don’t have or aren’t in our orbit. ’Tis the beast’s true nature that one. Confusing at times? Most definitely. Talk about an upset on a most terrible scale of terrib...

Why This Life?

What Is Life?

I have been thinking about this question a lot lately. Why this life? Why am I here? What is the point of it all? If you guessed torture and more torture, you would be correct. At least, that’s my take on it all. Life is pure Hell if you ask me. I know you didn’t ask me, but if you were to ask me, that would be my answer. Yep, life is Hell. You think there’s a Heaven and a Hell when we die? I doubt it. I think we are already in Hell. This life is Hell. I don’t know how many times I can repeat that. But it’s worth repeating to get it into your heads.

I hear sirens outside right now. I wonder if it’s the police or an ambulance. I don’t have a clue. It’s one or the other for sure. I can’t think of what else it could be. Maybe it’s a fire truck? But they usually honk their horns as they’re going through town to make people move out of the way. I don’t hear any honking.

Simulated Life

It all brings me back to the conclusion that this life is a simulation. There’s no other way to explain the odd occurrences that happen because of it. I mean, how else can you explain the fact that we are all here, living our lives, and then we die? Death is the ultimate glitch in the simulation. But just like a video game, it all starts over from scratch, and we aren’t the wiser. We just keep living and dying over and over again, never realizing that it’s all a simulation.

I sincerely believe that we go through the same experiences over and over again until we learn the lessons that we are supposed to learn. Until we can break free from the cycle of life and death, then we will continue onward into Heaven where we’re meant to be.

Now some religions believe there are separate levels of Heaven and Hell. I’m not sure if I believe in that theory. I believe we’ll go wherever we feel most comfortable. If we feel comfortable away from God, then we will be away from Him. If we feel comfortable in His presence, we will be there. Is that just my belief? Probably. But I do believe it’s a pretty good theory.

If there was a way to fully comprehend what life is, then we would be able to understand why we are here and what the point of it all is. But we live with limited thinking and knowledge, so we will never be able to fully understand it. I suppose God knows what’s going on with all of this. I mean if there is a God.

Life Isn’t Easy

To say this life is easy would be a lie. It’s not an easy thing to live through. Life in itself is an annoying thing to experienced from time to time. Thinking that we are being controlled by some unknown or unseen force makes it even worse. That’s just what this life wants us to believe though. That we aren’t in control. Is it better thinking we don’t have control over our lives? I’m not sure to be honest.

If I were to say to you, think of what this life is. What would you think of? Would you consider how the universe was created? How this Earth was created? Was it God or was it the Big Bang? Perhaps a mixture of God using the Big Bang to make the universe fall into place?

But, if we are in a simulation then neither of those scenarios play out like they should. For we have been and always are living out a dream made up by someone else. We don’t have any control over what it is we wish to accomplish in this life. If that’s a fact, then we’re pretty much screwed.

Then again, maybe life isn’t what it seems. It could be an elaborate phase that we are all wondering what will happen to us. If that’s the case, then we are simply waiting for something to happen. I don’t know about you, but waiting makes me rather irritable. I am not a fan of waiting to see which outcome is correct and which one is wrong. I’d like to know the end from the beginning. How it’s all meant to be played out, right now. Not ten million years from now when everything is said and done.

I could be mistaken about my theories on life. Let’s face it. I doubt anyone in the world knows exactly what’s going on in this life. It’s all guess work here on out. I think that’s how it goes at least. If we didn’t have to guess at such things and theorize, then we would have a perfect understand and knowledge of how this life works. If it’s a simulation or if it’s something more real.

If this life is a simulation, is it all coming from my own consciousness? Is it coming from someone else’s thought patterns and the rest of us are all along for the ride? Or is everyone in control of their own simulation in a way. People aren’t in control of their own destiny. The simulation takes care of any form of destiny or control. If we had a say in our eventual future, I think we would all want the best for ourselves. Wouldn’t that be the case? I think it would.

Learning The Truth

If we have the truth of it all, there would be no questions. The truth doesn’t always come out for us the way we want it to. It can be a complicated process, one that is more complex than we ever thought possible at times. If the so-called curtain was pulled aside, and we could see who the puppet masters were in control of our lives, would we want to see that? I, for one, would like to see that make manifest. Think about it, it could prove or disprove so many theories about this life. Wouldn’t that be worth it?! Personally I believe it would be worth it.

Life has its reasons for being so secretive. There isn’t one answer that will correct a lifetime of thinking and wondering about what this life is. We can hope all we want, but eventually that hope dies with our dreams. We don’t always have the ability to fully grasp what will happen in this life. We can only go day by day and see what comes at us. That’s the secret to life. We have to live and experience it. That’s all there is to it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I leave you with this thought:

Life will be what it will be, there is no explaining it right now in our current moment in time. If it is a simulation then it will be treated as such. That’s what this life is all about. Not trying to see what limitation we are able to break, but what we can see from where we are at.

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...
