Hi all,
I am sorry that it has been some time since I have blogged but I want you all to know that I am well - well as well as can still be expected. I am still in pain and am still seeking a solution to that problem but being in pain has reinforced a belief I have always had - that of the Right to Die.
I do not hold this right only to be true for the terminally ill but also for those in pain even if they are not terminally ill. I believe as a Libertarian that for the time I live on this Earth this life belongs to me. It is true I have responsibilities to other people but they are roles that I play. My life and my journey belong to me. I also do not believe that there is any other party including any religion or state that has the right to stop me from taking my own life if I so wish. It is true that the British state assumes this right legally but that does not mean they have the moral right - they do not. No more that they have the moral right to send soldiers abroad to kill innocent people.
Also I do not believe in a Creator who would want me to live in pain. The Creator is Love and Love wants all beings to be free from pain. If I die I will return to Love. That is what I believe and because I believe it - it will be so. I believe it is true that a person can be separated from God after death - but this will only ever be temporary - it will never be permanent. Look at it this way - someone on this Earth plane may love you very much but if you don't believe it so be so then you will never feel that love - in essence you will be separated from it. I think the same dynamic happens with God.
Don't let others say you will be separated from God's love because you choose to kill yourself - because it will not be so unless you believe it. For them if they so believe they will be separated from Gods love in the same circumstances - but it will be a result of their own belief - not because is every really away from them. But because they so believe it will be their reality - even if in truth it will not be the Actuality.
Some people may say that if the Creator is Love and does not want us to suffer then why is there suffering on Earth? This is indeed a difficult question to which I do not know the perfect answer since I am primarily a poet and a writer and not a theologian. But the only answer I can understand is this. Something went wrong.
I believe that in the Beginning the Earth was a Paradise. It does not matter what creation myth you believe - there is in most cultures the remembrance of a time when everything was perfect. I do not believe that this is the case because of wishful thinking or of wanting that to be the case or of hoping that it may be so in the future. I think it is because of a deep memory in the human psyche of the case of how it was in the Beginning. And then something went wrong. The Fall happened. I do no know how or why - but some how in some way Evil came into the world. And ever since that happened all progress that has been inspired by Love - whatever political, social or spiritual label was given to it was inspired by this desire to return to the Garden. That is my belief.
And all of us who open ourselves to Love will get there. I don't know how but I do know we will. Only the truly most Evil souls will never get there - and it will be as if they had never existed. The memories will be wiped away.
I am speaking now from Christian scriptures but I believe this desire is found in all progressive peoples - including in good politicians and scientists etc.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Revelation 21:4 KJV).
Remember I love you all so,
Until next time,
As always,
Blessed be,
KK
