Gods and Our Selfish Motives
I imagine, we are all selfish for some acceptable reason. My children garner my undivided loyalty, protecting our communal relationship is a reasonable cause; one that requires no explanations.
As well as, my relationship with my wife, she would not be ransomed for the universe. And so, without wavering, I refuse to compromise our relationships to secure the relationships of others. Am I alone in this predicament?
By the way, I demand autonomy to follow my own intuition. And so, whatever those suspicion may circumferences, to discover my inquisitiveness minus commentary or disdain would be commendable. Freedom, to be wrong, right, or insanely childish is a God-given right–would you not believe?
I want my God, my Way
**
I define my own existence. As a child, I seldom desired following another person’s perceptions, my Mother’s view at times were often discarded. I was a ravening freedom manic at conception; I did not want to be led. For example, I steadfastly dismissed her demands to accept religion. In its place, my freedom to create my own God. Am I alone in this predicament?![]()
Are we not ultimately coerced by family, culture or tradition in selecting deities? The reasons are often complex, yet simple when concerning the selection of Gods. I also predict, selections are self-interest rationales, which suits personality, characteristics, and cultural norms, more so than faith.
The Perfect Fit
**
In other words, we select Gods that best evoke our contentment. Our spiritual selections are not based on facts or physical excavation of unearthly religious artifacts. The Godly engagement, most likely occurred, while being guided by parents, prodded by friends or in your bedroom after a night of unprotected sex.
Some select Gods that resembles humans, statues, or silence space, but ultimately, Gods who care. Do we not warrant our selfish Gods? Deities, where if one did right, the deities would do right by us–did we not negotiate a deal for our obedience? Happiness, acquisitions, and ever-lasting eternity the supposedly ill-gotten gains for keeping the faith. Is that such a bad deal? Am I alone in this predicament?

Can Man Truthfully Teach God?
All words may be fallible. Whether spoken, written or insinuated by hand gestures, words are the representations of a person’s thoughts.
More significant, words followed creation, this is not debated; in the beginning we sought words to describe our environment.
Words originated with grunts, art painting on walls, external object display, group movements and eventually morphed into language.
What does this mean for the Dragon? I have no clue how to describe my source. In other words, I am not pompous enough to believe my words are more essential than a television minister or a drunk pushing a cart.
Words Misguide Us
**
As a matter of fact, I believe words are the least dependable foundation to spiritual restoration. I posit, the howl of a lone wolf says more than a million men speaking about their knowledge of God. Words embed perceptions, misconceptions, truth, and lies. When are we truly positive words convey nothing more than, “I know what’s best for you” in these men and women.
The Dragon’s tongue reflects the ego mind and a spiritual consciousness interchangeably at times. I do not profess a secret to Tao, God, Source or the mystery. Finely dressed in an Armani suit or resting atop a leaf, I would not have a clue about God. The only clue I have is that I have no clue.
This may be unsettling for some because written words recited by men say otherwise. I will not contest their opinions or facts, surely they may be right. However, as aforementioned, I do not have much trust in words concerning the unseen.
I Trust my Heart
**
Consequently, my spiritual restoration desired no traditional stories or ceremonial rituals passed down through time. I selected or my source selected, a path of darkness for my spiritual edification. ![]()
I had to retrace my steps to a time before birth. The experience was the hardest expose I ever endured and it continues presently. The experience can be described, poorly perhaps, but what “I AM” is free of the rules of language.
I trusted no person and found “I AM.” I sought everything, and discover nothing. I surrendered to darkness, and surprisingly was surrounded by light.
You see, again words are tricky, confusing even when spoken by the Dragon. However, if one profess mastery of the unknown, I retreat into the darkness.
In the darkness, man’s words do not exist, that’s where “I AM” always free with my source.
Whatever that source may be.

Where is Your Kingdom of God?
My self-realization remains a mystery to define and a route too unbelievable to conceive. A short glimpse in my past would produce a steady stream of mental agitations rightly suited for a psychopath. I like many for years lived a life driven by a ravenous egotistical mind and body.
Fortunes, fame, and acquisitions propelled my life, my mentality. I would fail immeasurable amounts of times with egotistical attempts and try again. I desired an external definition of self-worth and this went on for years; I was a perfect insanity. Also, my added attraction to competition drove me recklessly to boundless universes of despair after my failures.

“The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. That is all that needs to be said.” Ramana Maharishi
A Stormy Sea
**
The chase my ego navigated nearly achieved its purpose, self-destruction. My obsessed mind of endless attachments, constant thinking, and mental restlessness positioned my existence for an exit. Fortunately, my path to spiritual awareness was also ignited by this burnt out life, and remarkably, my spiritual restoration would take place on earth. Thank God.
“The kingdom of God will not come if you watch for it. Nor will anyone be able to say, ‘It is here’ or ‘It is there.’ For the kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus
I never prescribed to the acceptance of a mediator to find my kingdom. Whatever path God would gift I imagined it would not be an earthly norm. The world religions saturated with their complex systems of angry Gods, restricted diets, forbidden wearing of clothing and Hell would not accompany my inner-journey.
I AM…?
**
I sought a definition to “I AM” without obedience to another’s interpretation of God. Trust me, this is a road less-traveled, a mature mind must be unobstructed by man’s ideals of God.
To pull someone out of the mud, you must first step into the mud yourself.” Hasidic Master Israel Baal Shem Tov
If the kingdom of God is within me, as Jesus and so many spiritual teachers profess, than I had to go into my mud and bring myself to the light. I had to save myself.

Tao Te Ching Verse 7
The Master is available to all people
and doesn’t reject anyone.
She is ready to use all situations
and doesn’t waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man’s teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man’s job?
If you don’t understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.
Dragon will talk later about Kingdom.
