the struggle- t.m.o.l.a.s. part II

22 04 2008

If life is a test, who’s got the answers? And if you find them ask if we’re grading on a curve. Real talk, the bible says something akin to only 144,000 people actually making it in to heaven. Look to your left. Look to your right. Odds are theres no room in heaven for both of these people, even if they were Oprah and Mother Theresa, You know Saint Paul and them have got some favors and lobbyists to fulfill first – its political. That means that mathematically none of you fuckers will make it. No i didn’t forget you, but god will.

But seriously folks. If we have no real idea that there even exists a heaven, or fathom that we might live a discplined god fearing life, its all still a crapshoot. Considering faith, a sane man must always give reason to this possibility. 

That doesn’t mean free reign to be a big gay child molester, so don’t. On the contrary, because we don’t know what we will encounter upon death, we should do what wet can to ensure that we live the best life possible here on earth.  Not best in terms of luxuries or materials and shit, but to the degree that one can actualize and fulfill his dream while maintaining a peaceful mind. A free mind and inflated spirit is the best faith we have in death for ascenion to heaven.

I grasped this concept and embraced this philosophy as my own as a teenager.  It came amid confusion over religion when it was hard for me choose between Islam and Christianity. I narrowed the commonalities of the two religions and adapted a sort of bastard hybrid offspring. Two bibles, one Qu’ran. I deduce that

‘ for just as the body without the spirit is dead, As is faith without works’.

                                                                James 2:26

meaning i’m unsure of eternity, but i am sure of now. And i am faithful that my works on earth grant me entrance to heaven. I have no control over anything else in this eternity paradigm we are all in. So i work my ass off. Like mother theresa and oprah. I’m not sure if i’m going to make it, but i’ve got faith that i’ll get it right before i’m called. I’m trying. My soul, my fitrah is keeping score letting me know that i am in danger, when my mind is caged and my spirit is dragging. Cuz you never know when that report card is going to be pulled. Amen.
