Where do I begin? Feeling troubled of late. Not  sure if its me or if it is others. 
“Yesterday opened your eyes in many ways, the  biggest of which was the fact that your current relationships need some tweaks. You  may even be thinking that it's you, not the others, who need to make those  changes. You've been thinking of little else since, and you're willing to put  Stage One into operation yourself. Asking for help with Stages Two, Three, etc., certainly couldn't hurt and might be part of the solution.” My Aquarius Horoscope
This was my horoscope for the day. Actually  tomorrow. Used to be an avid reader. Used to believe on getting a heads up for  tomorrows adventure. Then I realize that I didn’t want to know the future. It took  away from the excitement of living everyday as if it was your last. It took  away because these generalization would be true whether I believed them or  not. It was true in that I would do the opposite to make sure that these events  the horoscope forecasted would not become true. 
Learned of thing called self-fulfilling prophecy.  If you believed certain events would happen, then consciously or unconsciously  they would happen. Used to get déjà vu all the time. Got the feeling I’ve  been here before all the time. The events of life moments seemed so familiar. 
Well, I read the horoscope of the day before to see  if what happened or not. I mean I still keep my birthday horoscope each year,  but the power of horoscope once held no longer interest me. It seems a bit  tired. I read once in awhile, but now no longer. They mystery of the day  unfolding via the daily horoscope has passed. 
Sure things of the future I am fascinated by.  Walked by the New Age section of Barnes & Nobles and it was covered with 2012  stuff. Read stuff on Yahoo about the Sun being inactive and the next few years could  be a turbulent times. Even picked up a dvd from the library about the rise  and fall of Mayan and Incan civilization. They say that an increase of  earthquakes would be signs of Armageddon ahead. 
Perhaps my bout with Diabetes and CHF have made me  get more spiritual. Seems a bit crappy I think. However, in my defense, I did not  cry to God to help me because I had these illnesses. I did seek spiritual  solace in my mistakes I’ve made. Found myself going to church weekly and daily.  Visited churches and mission up and down the LA area. On my trip to SF, I wanted  to visit all these missions. Started reading about Islam, Hinduism,  Judaism. Still doing that now. Watched videos on Mormonism. Catholicism, and the such. 
I attend church regularly, and I find that I thank  the Big Smile more and more every day. Read snippets of many religious  practices. More and more I read, I find myself wanting more. Learning more. Each  religion I found very sensible and very uplifting. What I’ve been troubled is with a  lot of the humanness and frailties that take the Word and distort the  message by the messenger. Catholic priests and child abuse. Muslim terrorists and  plots against Americanism. Christian zealots attacking same-sex marriages. It  seems many conflicts and wars were religious based.
Live this way to reach Heaven, Nirvana, and so on.  Live another way and you will go wherever.
I read that in “Everything You Need to Know About  Judaism” book that Abraham as child destroyed all the statues in his father’s  shop except the big one with a hammer. When his father asked, Abraham said  that the big one destroyed the others. Here is where monotheism begins. In  another book about Buddhism, it said that Brahman also believed in the monotheism  centuries years before the Lamb of God and Prophet Muhammad. Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva  were all facets of the same ultimate being.
Guess a little knowledge is dangerous. Guess, I am  deadly. Lots of little knowledge here and there. Immerse myself in all and  everything. I am learning nothing. 
All this reading, experiencing, and discovering I have asked question and the answers are coming. Intuitively, there is a higher purpose, a higher  being. Intuitively, I believe there are reasons for things happening. Intuitively, I believe  in a Flow. 
Do I believe in Muhammad? Do I believe in Joseph  Smith? Buddha? Dalai Lama? Jesus Christ?Of course I do. They all preach a lesson of God’s Love. All preach be  good to one another. All preach a Higher higher.
So this spiritual journey, this quest, this moment  of my life finds me not looking for answers. These answers will be revealed to  me. 
It’s funny sitting here at It’s a Grind a Bible  study is forming. Twelve people are surrounding all around. I may say something.  It’s funny how things manifest itself. Well, guess, I will listen and pray.  Answers are being revealed.
