@EX0MATRIXTV I can see you’re a person who needs the answers and has to understand all the possibilities before contemplating on what is the truth. Even though i respect your decision and quest and agree that we are being controlled in a lot of way but I’m a person who finds the answers here and now on earth we simply need to understand that life doesn't have to be a mystery and that we can find the answers in everyday life.

@trainofaaron winning what? I do not have any intent of competition, I just Am (or Be) following my heart where the mind have to figure out the "why" and the "how" and to what end.

Sometimes a "mission" whatever we temporary claim to have, could lead to something else that was not part of the plan or "greater good" or "goal" but still very profound or necessary to encounter to noticing it ... right in front of our faces or eyes for those who can see or sense beyond the program.

cheers,

John

@EX0MATRIXTV You win

[EX0MATRIXTV]

@trainofaaron who says it was meant for you ?

[trainofaaron]

@EX0MATRIXTV Aha thats a great observation, but who said anything about being atheist?

[EX0MATRIXTV]

@trainofaaron religion & atheism have a lot in common (one is ... the not really communicate and hugging their own self-imposed limitations & dramas

We have to exceed the scripted programmed behavior if we want to find any real transformational solutions & going beyond dualistic thinking!

@EX0MATRIXTV Im defining the word theory as it is a system of ideas intended to explain something, and that is what religion is, someones perception on the mystery of life. Not to say im totally against religion and that I have all the answers because i spent most of my life as a catholic, but what I came up with is that religion is a big hoax trying to tell everyone how to live there life not to commit sins, when it's already natural in human and animal to do the right thing. Great point though
