Q- what do you do when someone consistently hurts you but you keep going back for more?
The theory of the addiction quest
The hole is there, that we cannot deny, however must we be consumed by the need to fill the hole? I think that the hole was put there by Him so that we never feel complete without HIM. If this is my answer then why do i consistently fill the hole with everything BUT God?
I theorise that human beings have the "touch it feel it syndrome," ie. its easier to access/process that which you can touch and feel therefore you grab that which you know/feel first.
I guess we keep going back because when we do connect as human beings its so powerful that for that moment we know what its like to have the hole plugged.
This makes sense if you realise that human beings as a part of God, have the capability [power] to give each other this sense of completeness, but it is only temporary. The moment is fleeting at best and after we have experienced it, we then keep trying to get it back.
Why then did God give man the ability to pug the hole at all? I think that he did this because he recognised people's inability to be sustained by faith, but made it fleeting so as to ensure that human contact does not ever replace God contact.
The moment was also created so that we can recognise it when it comes in a spiritual form

Q: Why are there so many religions in the world. Which is the "right" religion
The theory of the constant signal
I theorise that just like man made discoveries such as fire over different time spans, that never meant that fire did not exist, only that man had to tune into the knowledge of how to light a fire.
I think that this is the same with God. The bottom line is, he exists, is always constant and always on the same frequency. Just like there are multiple ways to light a fire, so then there must be multiple ways to know (tune into) God.
If an artist is reflected in his creations, then in his creations, God shows us that he loves diversity, loves order, loves colour, loves complex packages wrapped up in simplicity. It then does not compute that he would accept only one path to knowing him.
The understanding of God is universal, he is God. (full stop)
The future then lies not in the war of words over who is right and who is wrong, but in the reveleation of the heart as that is where God can be found.
When confronted with the choice of what is right or wrong, look to your heart (soul) for the answers, analyse, pray, meditate and the truth shall be revealed for God is a constant signal that the soul knows and is always tuned in to

Kenyas' First "Net Positive" Basketball Court
Christa Morris, 14 Sep 09
In central Kenya, Architecture for Humanity (AfH) is creating a covered basketball court for the new Mahiga Hope High School. This isn't just any basketball court we're talking about, it's a net-positive Rainwater Court: the roof will have integrated rainwater collection and UV purification systems, along with solar panels to power the school. Although the project will serve primarily as a basketball court, assembly space, dining area and outdoor classroom for students, the entire community will also be able to attend farmers markets, local music and arts performances, movies and meetings in the only large, sheltered gathering place in the area.
Though the concept is complex, the design by Greg Elsner is elegant. Solar panels on the metal roof of the court will power lights for the entire school complex, while gutters will collect enough rainwater to meet the school's complete H20 needs (an estimated 90,000 liters per year with 30,000 liters of storage), and a UV purifier will make water drinkable for thirsty post-game students.
Between the two water storage tanks on the sidelines, a stage for performances has a solid back wall for movie projection and class presentations. The 500 sq meters of surface area, sheltered from the prevailing wind and the hot sun, will be ample room for school meetings and community events. view larger
To achieve their off-the-grid vision, AfH will use 100 percent local, sustainable and recycled materials during construction, such as Nike Regrind (a forgiving surface made of used tennis shoe soles) for the court floor. In keeping with their standard procedure, AfH will hire local construction workers and continue collaborating with community members to perfect the plan. To learn more about the project, watch this video of a planning meeting.
Community Meeting, June 2009
The Rainwater Court is part of a larger, ongoing endeavor sponsored by the Nobelity Project to rejuvenate St. Joseph Mahiga School. With a new computer lab, electricity, and purified rainwater, as well as a good dose of motivation, the primary school catapulted upward in quality, and now is one of the top ranked schools in the region.
That success just wasn't enough, or rather, it was enough to inspire further action. The Nobelity Project, community members, and the Kenyan Regional Education District are now collaborating to build a four-year high school to educate more than 400 boys and girls who otherwise would have nowhere to go after their eighth year. The upcoming documentary film "One Peace at a Time," features the inspiring Mahiga students.

Q: How does the mind evolve. Is there a difference between the ancient mind (Romans, Egyptians and our forefathers) and the modern mind (circa 1700)
The theory of the inspired mind
Thought i think is what evolves the mind. When the mind is filled with mundane thoughts only linked to survival, then that is all the person shall be, a survivalist. Inspire your mind to seek, grow and it shall eventually evolve.
Meditation into who you are shall force you to think beyond your physical self and move you towards contemplation of your spiritual self.
It seems a logical conclusion that the human mind wants to understand who/what it is. Here then i theorise that all knowledge is the same (it simply is and only our understanding of it changes) and that the pursuit of this knowledge is timeless and irrespective of cultures.

So many thoughts and no significant thought. Little pockets of innovation, little tid bits of God's work all around me.
Moments of love
Clarity rings her bell, believe in the moment, be free of fright, see the truth, ebrace the fight.
A confident smile, a lovers delight..... "hello my love".... ever true, ever right......NO!!
To dissapoint is your nature!
Only HE is truthful only HE is constant, only HE IS
Glory to HE that is
