A Disease Called Life

What do you love to do the most? This is the most important question you will ever have to answer. Discovering the answer to that question and then doing it will free your soul. Not doing what you love condemns you to hell.


God has given each person a dream that only they are uniquely qualified to fulfill. This is our purpose in life. It is what we love to do the most.


Most people have turned their back on their dream, on what they love to do. They go to school and become indoctrinated into the industrial religion - school, job, family, career. This religion further requires that we sacrifice ourself - our dream - and also our sense of adventure, our love of fun, our innate joy of living to the dicta and dogma of the industrial religion.


Living like this is living life backward. In giving up everything to pursue job, family, career because we think it will make us happy, we eventually discover that we are not happy. Then it is often too late to determine what will make us happy and so we go on getting bigger houses, finer cars, fancier clothes, because we know no better. We think that that is the only way to achieve happiness, when that which will make us happy remains hidden.


We sacrifice our dreams to a religion which promises everything but find instead that everything isn't enough. We wake up one day realizing that the kids are sick, the mortgage needs to be paid and someone we love has died. We say we are living when in fact we are dying every day. We claim to be awake when we all are really asleep. It is only when we finally wake up by the process of doing what we love that we realize how deeply we had been asleep.


Many people follow the prescribed path of the doctrine and through luck, skill, determination and hard work they acquire the big house, the fancy car and the fine clothes. They may even convince themselves they are happy, but something will always give them away.


Whether it is illness, disease or cancer, addictions, accidents or injuries, the tragedies which befall them or the pain which surrounds them, those who are observant will always see that these people are not happy, they are not fulfilled, they are not satisfied. We can identify them because they speak of the world in a way we are all familiar with and often engage in ourselves. We speak of the bad service at the grocery store, how Tom did what to Lisa, how our friends are ill, how our workplaces are full of strife and struggle and our marriage is unhappy. If we wake up and have to go to work - we know we are not living our dream.

All this is because we have a disease the only cure of which is to find our dream and do it. We all have this disease; this disease called life.
