My Theory I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what there is “out there”, in the universe, that we have not yet discovered, nor do we know anything about. And it’s a lot. We can see through our telescopes far out into space, and we’ve seen that there are thousands upon thousands of stars in thousands upon thousands of galaxies. You would think that with all that “space” out there, we would have found someone else, any other kind of life, no matter what form it took. But then again, since there is so much space between all that “space”, it’s not hard to believe that sentient lifeforms…

The School of Life I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the future. My life, in a way, has slowed down. It’s that feeling of the same thing, day after day. But when I look closer, it’s not doing that at all. I’m experiencing new things every day. In other words, every day is not EXACTLY the same, even though the same activities take place, and therefore, my perceptions of them are not the same either. My mind is still taking everything in, and I’m finding myself looking inward more and more. The time in which we are human has been compared to being in school. When we…

What’s next? I pose this question, “What’s next?”, as the title of this post, mainly because that’s the only thing on my mind these days. I have lived this life for almost 41 years now, and I’ve learned a lot, much more than I could have ever imagined, but my life has taken on an “up in the air” sort of status these days, where I never really know what’s going to happen from one day to the next. This is where I think the lesson is this time. All my life I have gone along planning for what I thought was ahead, expecting, waiting, knowing for sure I knew…

March is for Mars….and he’s diligently watching me…. This month, as it was customary to the ancient Romans, I have chosen to honor the god Mars, and to describe to you what he means for MY life. Now, you may not be reading this in the month of March, but I’m writing it here at the end of March, so it counts lol. The month of March was named for Mars, and in the Romans’ day, it was the first month of the year. They held festivals on several keys days of the month, honoring him, and they held special war dances to herald the beginning of the war campaign…

LIVING WITH STRANGERS I’ve made a change of residence since I wrote last month, and because of that, I thought I might write a little about the experience, and how it relates to my study of our deities. I moved to a house with total strangers as roommates, which was something I had never done before. They were total strangers because I had only talked to the landlady on the phone the day before I moved in, so I knew next to nothing about them. Then, about a week ago, another person moved in to the other room she is renting, who is also a total stranger to me. I…

Today’s article finds me with questions. Questions about the god’s involvement in our lives. Do they merely observe, and guide, and not interfere, or are they actively changing circumstances in our lives to teach us lessons, or to provide for certain experiences? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what is really going on in our lives. Is it all random, with no discernable path, or is there someone pulling the strings? Do the gods and goddesses watch us, and see where we are going, without taking an active role in what happens? If they do, they how do we explain how certain events seem to correlate, or as the…

To Be Human……The Greatest Vacation in the Universe! I’d like to continue my exploration of the deities by discussing a theory I have developed, one that I believe may be the single most important reason for human existence. In my former posts, I have explained my theories on the nature of our gods’ and goddesses’ actual existence, and what I imagine that they truly are, as a “species”. To paraphrase, I believe they are made of pure energy, and exist in all locations and in all forms of time, namely, past, present, and future. Upon deeper thought and introspection, I have come to the conclusion that there is a very…

“Perceptions of the gods” Today I want to continue my “study” of the perceptions of the gods and goddesses by talking about something to which we can all relate. Their perceptions of US. We humans are a pretty perceptive bunch. We like to observe everything around us, see things in every way they can be seen, whether it be from a wide out view, such as from space, or from a microscopic view. We try to see everything down to the last detail. The trouble is, there are details that we are not even aware of, nor are we able to perceive them, but the gods can. They see us…

Conflicts: do the gods and goddesses have them, and how do they deal with it? Today I’d like to explore a topic that’s been on my mind of late, for no particular reason. If you’ve read my earlier articles, you know I see the gods a bit differently than most, not as above us, but being made of energy, without a “location” in the cosmos, they are literally everywhere, but also nowhere. Having an infinite existence, in space and time, must make for quite a life. But do they occasionally have conflicts with those of their own kind? If so, how would they resolve them? The very nature of their…

What are the gods doing? What’s their “daily” life like? I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. If you were a god or goddess, what do you do all “day” long? To explore this, we’re going to have to try to change our perspective. These guys don’t live the kind of linear existence we do, nor are they bound by a physical body. They aren’t really “bound” by anything, so in order to understand what it’s like for them, we need to try and imagine the infinite possibilities of existence. Everyone loves a good superhero movie. There’s just something about a hero who can fly, has super strength, or…
