You Title It

Let me start off by saying that I shy away from religious and spiritual conversations because I am educated enough to know that I am not educated enough to intelligently speak on either subject in depth. I currently don’t have the capacity. I only speak on my current level of understanding on any and every subject that I choose to write on. I don’t defend or take positions on anything I do not understand. If you read my posts closely, you’ll come to the realization that I have respect for all the religions that I’ve read upon. I just choose to embody the cultural freedom. The essence of the cultural freedom is to freely be peaceful. It is my personal belief that if the bottom-line in following religions are spiritual growths and to show and spread love, peace, respect, humility, etc. in them all then, how can I in good conscious disrespect, shame, or call someone else’s belief invalid when they’re trying to embody the same thing as me? Who am I to say that any religion or spiritual group is not the appropriate one to follow? God doesn’t punish anyone for being ignorant, misled, or misguided.

 

My lack of resources, be them both, proper literature and teachers (for lack of a better word) of certain schools of thought leaves me in a position where certain areas of my knowledge are not as developed as I may like them to be. Some may believe that I don’t believe in God, but I most certainly do. I just choose to “freely” believe in God at this point of my life. When my circumstances change we’ll see how things evolve.

 

There are people who are more conscious and educated than me. Sitting and pondering on that last sentence always leads me to ask myself how conscious and aware are the leaders of communities, politicians, teachers, pastors, priests, spiritual advisors, coaches, and anyone else who holds a position where they are in a position to influence and shape society. Has anyone ever asked that question to themselves? Look at me as an example and reflect on the opportunity I squandered away from not being as conscious as the world may have thought I was. I was in the position to influence thousands. Fame and popularity do not merit any special type of knowledge. After all, those listed above are celebrities in their own right. You can become rich and famous and have the ability to influence many minds just by being extremely talented at a specific set of skills that society likes to be entertained with, and yet be irresponsible throughout the entire process (i.e.: Maurice Clarett 2003-2006). I got a little off track with this paragraph but in some weird way it ties into the whole post. I am interested in hearing responses to this post.

 

Also I am going to start the Q & A segment back up. The way we’ll do it is that everyone will send their questions to me directly Monday-Friday via US Mail and I’ll post responses on Sunday. My address is as follows:

Maurice Clarett #529-720

2001 E Central AVE

Toledo OH 43608

I am looking forward to receiving questions throughout the upcoming week! J
