Imagine

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Jesus Christ

Imagine a World where you could wake up everyday without thoughts of "how am I going to pay my mortgage?" or saving money to buy a new house or a new car or be able to go out to dinner like everyone else. One great thing to realize is most people going out all the time or buying things all the time, they can't really even afford it. They have leveraged them selves through debt and become captive to their creditor.

Imagine waking up in the morning and not heading to the rush of traffic as everyone races to their so called daily "duties" of work. Imagine if you could stay all day with the ones you loved. That the land provided everything you needed to survive and the being with those you loved only cultivated the joy inside of you. Imagine a life where you didn't have to slave at school to get good grades to get a diploma, yet you ponder in silence the wonders of life and gain a deeper understanding. Imagine not forcing your brain to work or to understand, yet understanding just came to you. Imagine your radio being the sound of life around you such as a creek with flowing water, or birds enjoying their natural habitat, or laughter from your young child as there is not a fear or a worry in the World.

The B Side To The Truth is we have come off course in this society with simple joy. Some may read and think this guy is crazy. Yet think about it, what value is it to continually to stretch to higher bounds financially and with more stuff? Stuff that isolates us from our true joy... The commotion around us forbids the silent teacher to give us the secrets to life.

It use to be that giant whales in the ocean could communicate over hundreds of miles away through sound in the water. Now they can barely communicate miles away beneath the ocean. Why is that? Boats, and numerous boats that are in the water. The noise and commotion has restricted their ability to communicate. It has happened so subtle and gradually that we have become worse off than whales. We hear not our own intuition to live and to love. We have become clouded with finances and things and wrongful desire.

Many say things must get much worse before much disaster happens around us. Over the history of this World and the different societies that have existed and ended, all had one thing in common. They were lifted up in the pride of their hearts. From Rome, to Jerusalem, to any great empire.

The liberally opening up of lowered standards has lead us to a life of a modern day evilness. From crazy night clubs, to abusive internet, to scandalous adultery, to lack of respect, to selfish desires to feed our ego. And many will say, "it's in how you look at it. You can use it for good or for evil". The reality is they are two choices that still lead to captivity with in greed and self indulgence. Anything that takes away your control and away from simple joy is not a good thing.

Colton - discover your true'ness'

So ask yourself this question... are you enjoying every second of this life with true joy?
