Your Body is a Temple - How can you “be fit” when you have no idea what you are? It is amazing that people jump on and off diets, spending time and money on quick fixes and fads rather than gaining a deeper insight into themselves. Study the machine. Why do you make the decisions you do?

Trust in the Universe - Things happen the way they do for a reason.  From our darkest hours to our brightest days, life happens.  Focus on the choices you have but realize there is more going on then you will ever comprehend.

Respect Nature - We are lost without the earth. We consume more than we need to because we do not focus on the future. Is not symbiotic relationship between Humanity and Nature a reflection of Devine purpose.  Disposable has become the status quo. It is time to realize actions have consequences and to appreciate this gift of life.

Demonstrate Gratitude - The possibilities we currently enjoy are Blessings not rights. Thanksgiving is a Celebration of gratitude for the plentitude of things that we take for granted on a daily basis.  What if everyday was Thanksgiving?  We have so much that we fail to appreciate the minute details that make it all happen.  Individuals have lost touch with the thousands of Miracles that take place everyday.  Think of all the systems working around you right now; plumbing, electricity, heat, telecommunications, electronic commerce, instant information from around the world.  Be thankful for what ever makes your life better, and remember these things are all blessings, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Respect the Less Fortunate - The other aspect of gratitude is the fact that you have something someone else does not.  The world has a majority of these people.  Those without Food.  Those without Health.  Those without Freedom.  Those without the mind to Realize great Dreams.  Those without Hope.  I do not understand the purpose of the mentally challenged. Why are some brought into this world without the mental ability to live their lives to the fullest?  Why are some born into Poverty, without Hope.  I thank the Devine for all I am. I have a faith beyond most and strive to grow, and I have the resources to fulfill my needs.  Sadly many do not. I respect those who lack the gift I have and will use my faith to pray for their well being.  I appreciate my fortune and respect those who suffer.

Respect Science - Do you understand how you function? What about nature? I am a Biological machine co-existing with the world around me. You are 65% water yet do you respect how you effect the water sources around you. I breath oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide that plants transform back to oxygen. Pretty amazing in my opinion.  To me, studying science and asking "Why is this so?" would seem to give us better answers than a Story book, to the question of the meaning of life.

Understand that Death is as Important as Life - There can not be an appreciation of one with out acceptance of the other.

Question Authority - What makes your Boss right? Your elected officials? Your local media?  The Story book?  How do they qualify success? How do you? Is there a system of class-warfare or is it a left-wing paranoia? What really do your teachers know? Your Doctor? Sometimes the best intentions of an ignorant person are not in your Best interests. Always ask why.  This includes Science.  Our understanding is always growing.  Question.

Question the Status Quo - Why are you stuck in the pattern?  Why is the World stuck in a pattern?  Have and have not's, Wars, intolerance; these are the aspects of the Status Quo.  Status Quo is the primary problem with Society.  Faith has become less about the Devine, about God, and more a numbing stasis.  It has been burned into every aspect of our lives.  Faith has become the Paradox; Faith is Ignorance.  People don't question things.  They will recognize corruption in every aspect of life, and yet if pressed how this corruption effects the "Big Picture" they go into a psychological defensive mode.   Some get angry, some call you crazy, some run away.  Check out stats on the level of trust for different professions.  We don't trust Lawyers, Politicians, Big Business, and Banks.  But we have an overall positive view of Society?  Paradox.  Those professions control society.  The positive overall view is the apathy that has been programmed into the world.  Apathy, Ignorance, Fear.  The fact that people can't even acknowledge that there is a problem, is a very bad sign.  

The Great Dichotomy - We are Machines, yet we are the Parasite that inhabits the Machine.  We mistrust people rather than Society, when in fact the people are simply a product of a corrupt system.  We live off the World, yet we kill our own meal ticket.

Study, Learn, Love, Live - Knowledge is a gift.  Love is a State of Being.  When you live with them both in your Mind, Body, and Soul, you are one with the Devine.
