Growth Unlocked

Love is real. Hope is real. Change is real. Life is circuitous and creative and can appear linear.

I have faith. I believe in God. Is “god” capitalized or not. I think having values, beliefs and a philosophy is important. Usually what is derived from this tree are rules or ways of being. I support all of them. My main issue is when these rule are used to divide and separate people from each other and from themselves.

I can go at length at the issue of language, diction and hegemony, but I rather focus on what is faith. I have had faith since I was born. I relied on my faith to live to move to get up when I was on the ground. I do pause and reflect. Can all this be attributed to a god in a logical, rationale way?

Absolutely, not. Hence, I have faith. It’s my feeling that I’m here for a reason. It’s my faith that God is here. God being defined as a nonpersonal, nondenominational, nondualistic. God is dog backwards. It’s beyond words and forms. There is no personal relationship.

Often, I’m asked then what happens when you die? I do not honestly know as I have yet to die in this life. I do have speculations, but the lens I use is based on faith.
