Blast From The Past: February 19, 2020

Life by Kyle Eggleston You’d think we would be able to solve everything in this life without problems. All of these humans could learn to work together and solve every issue that came up. Right? But instead we have people going to war with each other and life just doesn’t get a win, ever. How many scientists are out there? How many have one piece to the puzzle and others have another piece to the puzzle? What if they all just worked together and added those pieces together instead of working alone. What would happen? Ever think and wonder about that? Most people don’t, well I’m assuming most people don’t.

The Weekend!

The weekend is finally here. Feels like it’s been quite a week already. Talk about busy busy and that’s only half of it! Life itself has a tendency to feel a bit complex at times. I don’t know the severity of it. Just that it is and that’s simply life.

I suppose if life weren’t such a challenge, what would the point of it [life] be? So you can see the point I’m attempting to illustrate here. Life has a way of tearing you down and beating you to a pulp.

Maybe that’s not the issue though. Maybe the real issue is the fact we allow life to tear us down from time to time. Could that be the main source to the problem that is life? I think it is. Since we allow it to happen, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Depression sets in. You can only hide from it for so long. The mind tends to believe what it wants to believe as far as psychosis is concerned. There doesn’t seem to be a way back from such a thing. Once you’re locked into the simulation, you’re stuck there. There can be no escape.

Add some anxiety to the mix and it’s a party. Yeah like I need that cocktail in my life. But it tends to come with the territory I’m afraid. That’s, as they say, is life in a nutshell.

Memories come flooding in at times. There doesn’t appear to be a way to fully achieve a tranquil existence. Maybe in the life to come we won’t be bogged down with bad memories of this life. Some memories are so terrible I don’t wish to even remember them most days. Talk about a nightmare of sorts.

To take away a person’s memories is to take away who they are. Some experiences happen at birth, it’s how we came to be. Others occur later on in life. They manifest who we are to be in this life.

Sometimes we want to be in complete control of this life. I don’t think that’s how this life is meant to work out at times. Sometimes your fate isn’t even in your hands. You have to respect it enough to trust the process.

What’s the point of looking for fate? All it will ever do is land you in trouble. A person can’t always be on the lookout for what fate has in store. Yeah, life sure is full of surprises.

Looking to the future can only keep our minds occupied for so long. Eventually we have to come back to reality. We can’t live in the future forever. We need the past and the present in order to construct and frame what the future will be.

In fact, the whole reason behind fate is to believe we don’t have control over our own destiny or future. It’s that simple.

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...
