To Be Or Not To Be

I spent time in my younger years studying artificial intelligence, C programming and robotics. I left because I did not like the direction that artificial intelligence was heading. Drones, robotics and artificial intelligence, were being used by the military in situations to make decisions where the human heart could otherwise cause a conflict of purpose. From a military standpoint, it is far easier to send in a robot that only follows exact orders than it is to send in a human whose conscience might cause a change of heart at the last minute. The military's first initiative is to teach each participant to explicitly follow orders; drones, robotics and AI play into this arena nicely because you do not have to strip away the outer core. You do not have to un-program the compassion of the human heart. You just program the unit to act as you wish. 

Most of you know this; a computer is nothing more than a set of signals in either the on or off position. The windows program that you see on a personal computer is just an illusion. In the background everything is in binary, which is a sequence of 0's and 1's. For example the letter 'A' looks like this: 01000001, 'B' looks like this: 01000010, and so on and so forth. Every time the zero is seen the power is off. Every time the one is seen the power is on. So basically the computer is nothing more than a series of gates that causes the electrical flow to turn on and off. Imagine your computer screen is one million little squares. In each of those squares you will find a sequence of six zeros and ones that make up the color of each one million squares producing the overall picture. Basically each of these sequences is a set of instructions, such as "Put color blue in my square.” 

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA, is the building block of our bodies with specific genomes that tell our body what we should look like. Like computer programming, DNA is also a sequence of instructions. Technically you and I are computers created by our Heavenly Father. However, He gave us an added feature, we are sentinel artificial Intelligence. We have been programmed with basic running features. From there we are free to make choices based off our life experiences and from what we feel or think. Each choice creates a set of circumstances. With each set of circumstances there are new choices to be made. 

When I was younger, I used to read a book series called 'Choose your own adventure.' The books were set up under the same ideology. With each choice was a set of circumstances that created new choices. Each new choice led you down a new path. You could reread the book many times, changing your choices for different outcomes. It was a brilliant series that explained the basics of life to me. Where you are in life right now is the result of making a series of choices in reaction to events. Change the choices or events and you change your life. Thus, to change the future, you change your choices to events and create a new outcome. 

Life is merely a stage, and each of us is an actor. If this were a movie starring you, would each of us want to be millionaires, lawyers, doctors, or pilots? Would we all want to wear the same color clothes, have the same hair or even have the same taste in music? If you had to write your own part, would you be interesting, boring, full of life or full of sadness? Would you play an intricate part or would you rather play a supporting role? Would you be in a movie full of action or one that is a drama? So tell me, what part are you playing now? 

You see, life is only a stage in which we act upon to understand a 'Cosmic Conflict.' When we were born, we entered the limelight; we entered our stage of life. Like a computer, our brain was programmed with an operating system to give us basic running features. As children our parents wrote most of our programming for us as they began to code our brains with new programs which taught us what we needed to know in order to survive. However, as we grew, we began to take control of which programs were loaded and how we want to play our part in the movie of life. How many people within this world act out a part that they hate? Why? We write the script; at any point in time we can change our script and act out a different part all together. We chose the role we are playing, why play a part we despise? What we portray is completely in our hands and thus everything that is futuristic is changeable. 

People use God as an excuse. They act as if God has decided that they must live a life of hardship or a role that they despise. God did not decide that. He made you intelligent which means you decide what you are going to do. God does not make you do anything. He tells you what He wants you to do and then loves you so much that He gives you a choice to do what you want. If you ask Him, He will help you make good choices but it is never forced or even implied. You hold all of the decisions. Don't think that you have no control, for you are in control just by stating that you have none. 

When we are young, our parents make decisions for us. When we get older, we make our own decisions. All through life this process happens until you and I run out of breath. Each decision is a catalyst for the next phase of our life. Every one of us plays a very intricate part in the world. Our lives are full of many people and choices. Like ripples from a stone thrown into a pool of water, every decision made causes ripples through your life and the lives of those around you. Something as simple as changing your job can cause your family and yourself havoc or beautiful possibilities depending on how well thought out your course of action is. Each decision, no matter how small, is the basis in which the next sector of our life is built. Nothing is set in stone. Everything is changeable. However, to change your life, you must make different choices. 

There are no limits in what you can write in your script, anything can happen. Which is why this movie is so darn interesting. You make all the choices utilizing what is presented to you. The ripple effect of each decision cascades over into other people's lives. This means that many lives become interconnected. You can only see the connections when you step back and look at the overall picture. It is just like looking at the screen of your computer. Thousands of small squares combined together to create one bigger picture. Any time you forget your way, step back and look at the overall picture. Look at your past, where you are at now and where you wish to be. Plan a course of action that is gentle and methodic towards your destination. 

Observe the stage in which you act upon but trust your inner mind to discern illusion from reality. On this stage, discerning illusion from reality will not be easy. Most people believe that life is just life. They take it for granted and do not use it for anything special. It is as if life is a right. They act as if they can play their part without taking responsibility for their actions. Something that each of us should remember is that at the end of our life we will be taking full responsibility for everything we do, just like an actor in a movie is judged for their performance in that movie. If you do not feel comfortable with the whole universe knowing that you are doing something, stop doing it. Take responsibility for your life. Set the stage in which you want to act upon. Manifest it through hard work and determination. 

Being that you are the main actor in your aspect of this movie, what you do is very important. Even the most seemingly insignificant things may prove vastly important with the passage of time. There are never any coincidences. There is a right time for everything. Just the fact that you are reading this chapter now, in this point of your life is significant. When we gaze through higher eyes we begin to reveal the hidden meanings of life. The veil of illusion lifts and we are able to see the reality of what life really is. When that happens, you will open your eyes and see how many times a seemingly insignificant coincidence has been the catalyst for an important future event. When you look into your past, the pieces of the puzzle fit together and you can see how you became the person you are today. When you change the person you are today, you change your future. You accomplish this by making better, more informed decisions. You take responsibility for what you are. You create your future by making decisions that will ensure the future you have chosen, instead of letting life chose for you.

Our Heavenly Father wanted individuals. People who have spunk, creativity, a sense of humor, and a rationalizing mind. He did not want robots. If He had wanted robots, He would have created robots. Instead He gave you the freedom of choice. He gave you the ability to rationalize and to think about the information presented. You are not 'Sheeple' following the herd. You are an individual. Sometimes on Facebook in one or another of the groups I am connected with, I watch the 'religious' people make posts. It is like a ticker tape of Bible passages. No one really says much, they are just giving Bible passages. In Isaiah 1:18 Yahusha (Jesus)  says "Come Reason with ME" - he did not say, 'Just follow blindly.' He did not say give up your creativity and rationing mind and just do as I say. He did not say to cower or to be blind and mute. He did not say 'Just rattle off bible passages.' Basically He said “Come think about it.”

He knew that a discerning mind would see that He is just, He is wise, He is loving, He is Kind and He is reasonable. All of His requests are fair and wise. He is creative. He has a sense of humor. He loves. This is what He would like to see from you. He understands circumstances. Do you think He is going to be as mad at a starving child for stealing food to eat as He would be of a man stealing for profit? No. He understands each of us. We are each His children. I am an artist. He knows this. He understands my desire to create, paint, think, rationalize and to write. He created me this way. He would prefer that I utilize my talents for something good. However, I have the choice. I can use my talents any way I wish. If I choose to write a horror book, I get that right. Or I can chose to write this book and actually do good with my talent. I get to choose because I have the freedom to do so. Too often people dismiss that right by choosing nothing. They are just there breathing. They go through life as if life is just being born, growing older and dying. They go to school, they go to work, they do whatever society has told them that they should do. They never think outside of the box. They do not reason or ascend to higher goals. That is a robot. Don't just follow blindly. Think about things and rationalize. Seek the deeper meanings and deeper connections. If you are an individual with the power of free choice, exercise that power. 

Be warned, as you seek to make good choices, there are forces that will try to stop you. Every time you make the right decision, it seems that some obstacle or fear arises. It is almost an absolute. It is almost as if every time you get close to being on the right track, things start happening to derail you. Your faith will be challenged, your hope banished, your security stolen. Talk about heartbreak. It sometimes feels pointless. Friends turn on you, family is not there for you, obstacles keep arising, and the very essence of who you are seems to be stolen by the tragedies of life. How do I know? Because I am human. I am just like you. 

I almost wonder if certain situations are a prerequisite. Do we each need to have these difficulties so that we can learn to overcome them and become one step closer to understanding those around us and the cosmos in general? Or, are we each programmed with the same mindset from birth, and then go through these things in attempt to reclaim what we really are? Regardless, I find it interesting that everyone is going through much of the same trials. I find it equally interesting that most of us believe that we are alone and that no one could possibly begin to understand what we are going through. Knowing these facts, I have found that reprogramming your own ideologies is necessary. As you take the time to remove unessential programs from your mind, making room for new ideas, you will see that much of what was learned contributed to what you had to endure. As new ways of thinking are added to our mental computer the stage we play upon and our mindsets become altered. At that point change begins. In order to make any change, you have to alter the ideologies that have contributed to your behavior. As you begin to change how you think, your actions will follow. Your only obligation to yourself is to be the best person you can be. The deepest question you should ask yourself is, "Who Am I?" As you begin to figure out who you are, you can better decide what you want to do in life. It is at that point you can understand others. When you can understand others, you can fit all of the pieces together and see the whole picture. A computer screen takes millions of tiny little squares or pixels to formulate one image. A story of universal love takes millions of actors to portray. 

This stage is very intense, very dramatic. We go through many things that, at times, seem too much to bear. We need to learn to reset our minds and remember we are the actors not the victims. A wise man once stated that the level of our ignorance is the depth of our belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly. You are the actor and the writer of your script. Play the part any way you wish, write your future any way you like. The transitional periods may be a bit difficult to work out, but this is your movie. Make it the best darn movie the universe has ever seen. 

We are the beholders of our future. Nothing is set in stone. To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the answer.
