Well yello(that's how homer simpson says it) im back and better than ever.V1.1 baby!!..ok ok that's enough gloating..anyways...
MERRY CHRISTMAS To EVERYONE...
Today i went to church as usual for midnight mass and while sittin there i got to thinking about why i go to church... First of all i'm not an atheist..i have a firm belief in the concept of god but this isn't about that...
My head is usually full of crap..i usually think about 5-6 things at the same time so it's difficult to get any coherent thought going...This is why sometimes i like going to church...Once i get there i usually dont pray a lot or anything but i find that the peace and solitude offered there really helps me to think straight..it's sorta permits you to meditate without knowing how to properly focus..it mutes the volume in your head and focuses your thoughts...I never found going to church great until i started to use the time not to pray but to focus on everything in my head..i realised i ignore my thoughts in the daily hustle bustle and that can lead to a feeling of restleness without knowing what i'm restless about..Therapeautic in a sense,sittin there alone allows me to perform a google soul search if you will to help me on my way...i forget about deadlines and money and exams and everything else...i also realise it takes time to get into that frame of mind... people come in and pray for 5 mins without realising it takes more than that to really communicate,not with god, but with yourself... To be honest that's one of the most imp things i've learnt...it leaves me realaxed and focused at the same time... now i seem to understand why the older gen makes such a fuss about religion and also why we dont give it a chance...
yup! thats the best part bout churches!
the heavy silence that wieghs down!
theres sumthing to the sanctity of a church's silence that ive never found anywhere else. esp the noisy mandirs!
Yeah i know it's so silent that it's sort of a refuge...
yello..
this post reminds me of Mrs Saggar.. she always used to give a logical (to my mind) exp to why ppl to to temples n churches.. ans join hands and pray n stuff like that...
i am, well, cant call myself an atheist.. but a sturgglin believer may be.. or just a rebel.. wt ever that is..
point is, when yr mind is silent, yr focus is at its best.. no alarms.. no deadlines.. no bus to catch.. blah blah.. u get in touch wit somethin thats IN you (ppl say Soul.. say heart.. say sub-conscience.. even GOD..!)
but thats the time everyone needs to donate to oneself i feel, to get a grip on things
it dont matter if u give that time when yr in a church.. or in yr bed..
i disagree with u dexter... goin to church is not the same as meditatin in bed..in church a collective concsience prays 2gether which is a feelin that is much more powerful than sleepin in bed...
