God really exist for those who accept such existence.

We know Him, mostly, for what He is, rather than for what He has done.

As a man thinks, he is. What ever turns up as a consequence of our thoughts, is real, has actual existence, and will influence our behavior.

That is a good thing if it really improves me as a human being. When I imagine that I can achieve anything I want, I will. When you think you will not, you won't.

This mind creation is the primary force for the advances in science and technology that we have nowadays. Our cultures, societies, history, mythology, human relations, all the achievements that we have obtained since our species started roaming planet earth are product of our mind. With out the power of imagination, thinking and acting on such a thought, we will probably be just another species among the others that inhabit the universe.

Everything that we create, has to be personal, for our own benefit. Our world is in such a chaos, for the reason that we are always trying to impose our creations upon others. It is perfectly right to interact with other with the same or similar beliefs, but we always have to remember that our rights end where the rights of others begin.

Just take a look around you and you will see the results when we try to impose our beliefs. What is good for you is not always good for others, even in your own family.

Wars, inter racial relations, discriminations, difference in social classes, rich and poor, people dying out of hunger and deceases, and everything that affects the good relations among us, is the aftermath of our egotism.

Interaction between different groups with different believes in the daily life chores, should be just that, without trying to impose beliefs. Such a world will certainly be "Paradise." We do not realize that we can attain peace, harmony, happiness, and all the good things that our creative mind can imagine, if we just keep our believes to ourselves or in the group with similar believes.

Trough our minds we have the power of creating whatever we wish. Well let us just do that. Start by imagining and visualizing a world with people with different believes, but that they want to live in peace among them. After while you will see that all our differences are aligning with that wish.

Do not just wish but start by respecting the beliefs of others. We have the power, we should use it. Let us kill our egotism and become more open to others that have different believes than yours, but at the end are looking for the same things that you are looking. Peace and goodwill for starters.

We have to believe in God for what he is, a product of our imagination brought into reality to appease our fears of the unknown.

May your God be with you.
