I went to a service in a church yesterday. Don't get me wrong. I am not a christian or someone that believe in the religion. I am a free thinker. If you really want to put a religion in the slot when u fill up forms, I will still write Buddhism.
Free thinker= Believe there is GOD, but every religion is the same and pray to the same HE. This is my definition of free thinker.
I went to the church for a personal reason. I was surprise how the services are conducted. Then there is a very strong feel that the ppl in the church is very strong in their belief. That is very good. It hit me that very moment that, places of worship play a too important role in the safety of social and balance of economy. I just imagine that this is being taken away, I saw chaos, suffering, unrest and ppl killing each other. It was a very bad sight to behold. It is also hit me that very moment, if the leader of the places of worship is not good hearted or corrupted. They can make use of their "given" power to influence and destroy the govt or social norm. Scary thought. Even to cheat and to TAKE $ away. These leader really need to be vet before being install as one.
That is not the main thing I want to say, however it hit me it is important to write it out also. The main things here is what the Pastors said. he said the word "believe" so many time in his preaching. It is so important to stress that I am not converted at all. But he is such a powerful speaker that he can convince you that the mind is above all. MIND OVER BODY. Believing is using the mind over the Body. Using the hidden power of mind still very unknown to human in today advances in science and technology.
He stress the word so many time, until I start to think of how strong the word is for people.
FOR ME I ONLY HAVE THIS TO SAY.
IF you believe in something, just do it. It will happened for you, because you believe. You have doubt in your mind because of the experience of others but u never do it before, how you know that YOU cannot. Therefore the mind is such a powerful tool, looking into history, every govt use the its power to control and to strike fear in ppl. Those that are strong in the mind, can influence others around them, let them be more positive and forward looking.
I don't want to say anything more of the speech I heard, or what I seen there. TO me a church still need to have a Cross and the building still need to look like a church. If my primary school's memories serve me well, the church is build according to the drawing of building in heaven. And how can church change so much these days. hmmm.... but who am I to say about the design.
I still choose to be a free thinker, I still choose to believe there is GOD. To me, maybe Buddha is the answer to my spiritual thought. The ANSWER to my relieve. There is one last phase to share with ppl that read my blog.
Thou who believe and who seek wisdom will be and shall be delivered from suffering.
