Do atheists believe in the force? like star wars?
And is that same force, if it were to exist to an atheist, be the same force that brings a kidney into creation, or closes a wound?
I have no problem with atheism, and I acknowledge God.
Atheism is truly needed in this world, but should only be temporary.
Atheists are needed because there exists concepts and ideas in this world that are silly, and unworthy of belief, and the Atheist understands this. These ideas and beliefs make their homes in the minds of men, and the Atheist understands this as well.
So the atheist, when he declares he does not believe in god, is saying that he doesn't believe in the ideas he has about god, because he sees them as not worth believing.
And surely if my thoughts and concepts on God were akin to an athiest's then I would (privately) reject such a false God as well. ...
But for me, rejecting God would be like saying the the power that keeps my hand healthy doesn't exist, and the hand itself, which is a fruit of the creative force, isn't there. Which to reject my God like this would prove to be against reason and understanding. Because my hands are here, and they move, with power allotted and articulated by my will, which considers all kinds of emotions and situational events..right!?. and one day these hands will decay with the death of the body... right!?.. and then that creative power that once animated my body, that constantly moved through me, will still be moving through other creations, other humans, and will lives on and on.
So if your idea of God is only a man sitting on a cloud, with a magic wand saying "there and there, and give that man a jager bomb" then rock on atheist, you do yourself a service with non belief.

Atheism & God - 001
Its easy to say there is no God, overthere.
But can you deny the creation, the happening.
Even right now there are relationships and convergences making what is in front of us. What is their power? And is it their power?
There is a force that moves through this moment, and the past is our memory of it's old shape, the future is it's shape to be.
You can deny god, but how can you deny the creation? In it God says, "I am, all your power is founded in the power of my fountain, and even your power is mine, for all power is in me and of me.
God has sent our lord, the image of godly, man, and has given to this image faculty to find his fountain and dance in harmony with it's will. This harmony is the son of God, man's choice to chose his father's image our lord.
--- that's why they write the contemporary church songs "there is a fountain, who is the king."
So the atheist denies god only in his vanity. When God reveals to him, the light of him, then the atheist will turn away from his vanity and ponder on the true God. And if he refuses, it is by his pride, which is is the love of his vanity, an inhibitor to the fountain, and a power that cannot exist in the kingdom of heaven. When the pride rests, then glory is revealed as the son will grow to becomes one with his father.

When my movement show heavy with sin.
God has made mine to be vanity,
and double thought.
He has made my inheritance the worm.
He has made my way the way of the servant,
and the servants horse.
Will I be delivered from the judge?
Will the warm mirror grow?
Or will I be cut off and left to stare into the recursiveness
of my iniquity? I know that I will be delivered, and you are my rock.
Let not the hope of my day be in vain.
Have mercy on the wicked
I am lost and I cry in the wilderness.
and double thought.
He has made my inheritance the worm.
He has made my way the way of the servant,
and the servants horse.
Will I be delivered from the judge?
Will the warm mirror grow?
Or will I be cut off and left to stare into the recursiveness
of my iniquity? I know that I will be delivered, and you are my rock.
Let not the hope of my day be in vain.
Have mercy on the wicked
I am lost and I cry in the wilderness.

Programming the Moments
Young programmer
Mind your processes,
your increases, your movements.
Then you certainly moved with uncertainty;
the wrong dance to your music.
and you couldn't see it,
and yet you still knew it.
-------
This is written with the idea in mind that we, our characters, are subject to our own creation. To handle situation is to react and adapt to it, our actions behaving as processes designed to handle the function we need preformed.
Too Often we, our character, rely on old processes we have created in past situation to handle new situations.
An abstract example: Business man spends all day doing business, handling people in business man ways. He comes home to spend time with his wife and child, and through laziness and habit dependency, he treats his wife and child also in his business man ways when this new environment calls for a different set of mannerisms from the man, so the man should mind his new situation and dance appropriately.
In truth, every situation is new and unique, and although the context may be similar it will never be the replicated to exactness. Us, being programmers of our persona, should mind each new moment with focus, fearlessness, and attention so we can create a process that is truly appropriate to the function that is being preformed. Or, dancing a dance that is true to the music.
When we dance wrong, maybe its never noticed. It is what it is, right? But the human heart, knows and discerns with God gifted accuracy, and the right dance to the music will produce a greater effect in the parties joined in the dance.
Mind your processes,
your increases, your movements.
Then you certainly moved with uncertainty;
the wrong dance to your music.
and you couldn't see it,
and yet you still knew it.

Kept the faith
Through all
Your emphatic
Nonsense
Drenched
Enclosures
Molded from
Image high
Fought tooth
and nail
To keep the mind
Unbound by
All those subtle
Stupid, Pretty
Lies
From
Mouth to mouth
Eye to eye
On the screen
Into our lives
They creep
And then we
Sleep the
Sleepless
Sleep
Of minds
Barred from
Travel
Deep
And the voices
We love turn round
And spit the paltry
Putrid sound
Of judgement
Made from
Image
High
Manufactured
Lies
And here the
Trial of our lives
So early in our
Minds
"What are the
Sea of voices
To my One?"
To doubt the
Doubt and
Suffer
But never
Leave the
Oceanic
Dream
Behind the
Seems
To be a mind
Just waking
To its own
Enchantment
And knowing
Not
Where or What
And suffer
The slurring
Of their Buts
Drowning
In the
Tepid waters
Of that
Oh so
Familiar
Stream
While still
The peripheral
Tributaric gleam
Haunts their
Weighted
Dreams
To keep the
Faith
To keep the
Self
With no
Contrived defense
But vague
Knowledge
Of Who
From whence
And so
The Flame
Has kindled
Hence
They mock
And knock
The spirit
Down
The weaklings
Sold
In youth
Unto Image
High's untruth
"Divide,
Divide,
This one
Into a farther
Room."
Where he
May doubt
In unmarked
Tombs--
Mother Culture
Spoke
He was not
One of Us
And so
In youth
I crept into
Farther room's
Despair
But held my
Kindled flame
Stripped Bare
Defending
Light
Up through
The trial
And All
Was
Watching
Through
The Dark
The Stilled beatings
Of my heart
That I
Might
Keep the faith
And so
I did
And so you
See before you
Nothing special
But Divine
Inspired
Potential
For having

White Suit Prayer
My heart stands up to my mind - my mind balances on the support of my heart - i am taken back by no thing - in spirit i swim or drown - god is a spirit and whole is the spirit of god. From his spirit i will emulate. I will use all the faculty given to me to monitor the nature of my spirits so I may glorify god with my life.
Walking to class passing many people it is easy for me to become anxious and to feel taken back from brief connections with people. I order myself so as not to be bullied by the illusions of my imagination. If a thought tries to move me, i stand up to it, continuing to look on the person my eyes have visited, proving to the risen spirit that it has no place with me. The illusion passes and I move on without being swayed-- steady in my flow of consciousness as I walk to my class passing and secretly interacting with new people.
If a sub-standard thought arises within the mind in response to something the mind thinks about-- if this thought causes you to retreat or become 'taken back', then you have gratified that thought with further action. The thought is a movement, a spirit that arises out of the heart. If that spirit is further manifested through some successive action, it will become stronger -- seeing that it has room for it's expressive existence. To become 'taken back' by an idea you do not feel should have interrupted your comfort in the first place is like rewarding a dog for mis behaving. In this case the dog is a part of your cultures spirits. Cultured meaning the ongoing cultivated spirits and movements that make up who you are and the nature of your daily thoughts, reactive thoughts, and actions.
