UnBelievable
Mon Nov 22 2004

I’m an unbeliever. I love logic too much to believe in something which explained in the most illogical way. What is Faith anyway? I like more the word – Chance. I grant a Chance a…chance to exist. I wouldn’t believe that our universe is the way I’ve been told it is, but I would believe that there is a chance that some of the perceptions are correct. In some things I’d like to believe more then in the others. I think, we all chose the point of view that we feel is more close to us. I do not hold anything against any religion. But for me it is not what I can hold close to me personally. But I do have believes, despite that I’m an unbeliever. They are integral part of me, my wishes, my understanding of life. Just like any other religion, actually… I believe that there is a chance that when we die, we do not disappear. But I also believe that every next lifetime we are born again with erased memory of the previous lifetimes. 

Therefore, the concept of a death as “not having anything” is still frightening to me. If I can’t REMEMBER, that just means – I can’t HAVE it anyway… I wish there would be a chance for that “having” everything back in next lives. I wish there would be a way to carry those experiences from one into another life. I wish that those, whom I love in this existence, would meet me in my next life again. It saddens me to tears to understand that even if there is a chance of all that, there is not much chance for me to have that knowledge, to recognise, to recall… But it is still – a believe in some sense, isn’t it? A Faith. Because a faith is so important to the human beings. We cannot live without Faith, though it doesn’t really matter, in what we believe…So in the end of a day - I am a – Believer. Just there is no relevant religion associated with my belief yet. 

Atlantis
 

At a location on the ocean floor in the Levantine region of the Eastern Mediterranean, near the island of Cyprus, scientists have discovered a site that, simply stated, matches Plato’s famed account of Atlantis. Evidence presented almost perfectly matches the nearly 50 clues in Plato's descriptions...
Can you believe in this?! I - can. I am chosing for this Chance to become my Belief. And let the Donovan's song to be my anthem: (in the end of a day, I'm just a pathetic romantic, am I? ;-) )LOL 

The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. So great an area of land, that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease, in their ships with painted sails. To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles. The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonised the world, All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis. Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth. On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends. Though Gods they were - And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! *Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be. My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, I wanna see you some day*

    A wise observation about faith, my friend. Faith is, indeed, the fabric which holds our dreams and beliefs together. We derive our strength not from that which we KNOW, but from that which we BELIEVE in.

    As far as not having an associated religion to go along with your beliefs: That has been my experience my whole life, and I've derived a great deal of satisfaction knowing that my own Faith is just that...my OWN. I hope you can take comfort in the uniqueness of your Faith. Sometimes, fitting in with others isn't all it's cracked up to be...

    Hail Atlantis!

    I believe we come back until we get it right. I would love to have the knowledge of a previous life and be able to improve on it. I guess Carpe Diem is the best way to live, Seize the Day and live life to its fullest. Nice entry.

    Is this the human condition we ' free thinkers' find ourselves?
    .. I am with you. I can not blindly follow any dogma.. Man made to control.. man made to frighten, you just don't know what could be around the next corner ... in this life .. or if there is one to follow in that.. or in*between.. do we remember all our lives between times.. of incarnation.. ?? Hmmm....
    you always get my mind working in places that tickle.
