I had an odd dream last night.  The place was similar to earth, but the animals were strange looking.  The people didn’t have the same belief system. There was no belief system.  The place was uncomplicated, yet chaotic.

My thoughts are lumbering and massive today.  So, I started thinking that having faith can make things both complicated and chaotic.  As humans try to make sense of this world and find that they cannot fully understand, even more effort is put into interpreting science, ancient texts, prophesies, petroglyphs, signs and dreams.  Too much effort and energy is devoted to this in my opinion.

The peaceful natives of our land have it right.  Working together, being at peace with the animals and environment.  Simple.  Easy.

These things make perfect sense to me.  And I am not fearful of my new perception.  I am…free to think my own thoughts.   I am… sure these thoughts are transient and will not last forever.  I am… not crazy.  No fear.

There is no fear even though I may have come to the wrong conclusions.  I am not embarassed or humiliated if I am wrong.  I am clear that it’s okay to experience these thoughts as part of a process.   And that the universe is okay with me thinking these thoughts.  I will not be struck down for my somewhat heretical views.  It’s going to be okay.

Look at nature.  It just is.  Look at humans.  We are not just being, we are always in conflict.  This tells me we are the newcomers to earth.  Not the most intelligent.  Maybe we are just the most arrogant for thinking we know it all.  For thinking we are superior to all life forms, that we have all the answers.  If the latter were true, wouldn’t the earth be in better shape than it is?  Sheesh, what a mess we’ve created.  Working, always working.  More money, less time.  Heart and health issues.

Some belief systems have harnessed this peace.   Perhaps it is time I learned.
