Certainties, Probabilities, And Possibilities

If we don't have certainties, we must rely on probabilities, and consider the possibilities. Because the future is not written in stone, it is not guaranteed. It is an unknown, and fear of the unknown (as with any other fear) can have a paralyzing effect. Decisions are imprisoned in our minds. Choices are impossible to make. Consequences wait impatiently. Fear becomes paranoia as we dread the judgements of others. A catalyst is required to induce us in some kind of direction. In an unfamiliar circumstance, the two best default catalysts are experience and preparation. Empirical decisions occur when a new situation is similar to past unexpected events but with a new twist of some type. Preparatory decisions occur in advance of an anticipated event, even though the time, place and nature are not known. Hence, the fear is reduced, and action can proceed. It is always wise to have an end goal, or objective which motivates us to override our fears. In an unfamiliar territory where a choice must be made, the most likely probabilities of consequences become the guideposts of our decisions. If we are wise, we tend to move towards the most favorable consequences. Quite often there is more than one favorable or unfavorable consequence. These are relative to our ultimate goal, and it may not matter which route we choose to get there, as long as we arrive. Choose a goal, then choose a path, and remember that the possibilities are endless.

Religion vs Spirituality

Religious fanatics have not mastered true spirituality. To them I give the following:

(New Testament 2 Corinthians 10:1 - 2)
1 NOW I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
------------------------------
(New Testament Galatians 5:22 - 23)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
------------------------------
(New Testament 2 Timothy 2:24 - 25)
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
------------------------------
(New Testament James 3:17 - 18)
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
